Five days later, in accordance with Fang Yuan's military order, Gan Hui began to set up checkpoints outside Fengyang City, and Sergeant Xuanjia surrendered the ordnance of the surrendered troops, and ordered the surrendered soldiers in the city to pass through the checkpoints one by one for screening.

Those soldiers didn't know the purpose of setting up the checkpoints, and they didn't know if they could return to the city after leaving the city, and the silver looted in the city could not be left in vain, and most of the soldiers took all the silver with them and went to accept the surrender.

At the first checkpoint, there were more than ten taels of silver on his body, and at least 900 soldiers were intercepted, so Gan Hui immediately ordered to resist arrest and brought him back to the barracks for guarding. There were a few soldiers who dared to make a fuss, and they were directly hacked and killed on the spot.

At the second checkpoint, 2,000 women gathered on both sides of the five-mile road along the road to identify the soldiers who passed by, but those who were found to have committed adultery with women were arrested on the spot and taken down to verify the authenticity. This time, another 600 people were arrested.

Of the 6,000 soldiers who surrendered in the city, 1,500 were arrested and punished.

As soon as the troops came out of the city, the Xuanjia army began to arrest a large number of surrendered soldiers, thinking that the Xuanjia army had rebelled and wanted to kill and surrender, and they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless. They wanted to fight hard but they didn't have weapons in hand, so they could only gather in a group, relying on the strength of the crowd, shouting incessantly, shouting that Fang Yuan and the Xuanjia army had betrayed their promises and surrendered, and the heavens could not tolerate it.

The riot of the surrendered troops reached Fang Yuan's Chinese military camp, and Fang Yuan did not pay attention to their commotion, and ordered Hu Qi and Gan Hui to interrogate the arrested 1,500 rape and plundered soldiers overnight. As for the rioters, they only sent sergeants to send soup and steamed buns to fill their stomachs.

When the shouting soldiers saw that the Xuanjia Army had also sent food, they didn't know if it was a fraud, or the last meal of the severed head, or they devoured it.

Gan Hui and Hu Qi interrogated them for two days, and released 230 unjustly innocent sergeants, and 1,300 people really committed crimes.

Fang Yuan ordered the sergeant to tie up all the 1,300 people and detain them in the barracks, waiting for the Ming canonical punishment. He called Tian Xiong, Wang and Zhao into the barracks.

Tian Xiong and the two thousand households thought that it should be Fang Yuan's turn to reward this time, but they didn't see Fang Yuan when they entered the barracks, and they were standing in the middle of the barracks in a brocade guard flying fish suit, but it was the guard commander of the Governor's Mansion, Ma Yishan.

Ma Yishan has now been transferred by Fang Yuan to serve as a guard in the palace as a Jinyi guard for a thousand households, this time Fang Yuan is too lazy to talk nonsense with these vicious dogs who oppose the old master, and directly hand it over to Ma Yishan to judge the crime.

When the three of them saw Ma Yishan, they turned into cronies who passed on behalf of Fang Yuan, especially the thousands of households who ransacked the Governor's Mansion and insulted the ladies of the Ma Mansion, and they were so frightened that they almost couldn't stand steadily.

When the enemy met, he blushed, Ma Yishan stared at the two thousand households, his face was full of indignation, and said coldly, "The regent has an order, Wang Qianhu and Zhao Qianhu killed the heirs of the governor of Ma, insulted the female relatives of the Ma Mansion, and allowed the rebels to plunder the people in the city. The current arrest, the illegal income obtained will be confiscated, pending public execution! ”

The two thousand households were so frightened that they were so frightened that they even cried out for wrongdoing, but they were gagged by the wolf-like Jinyi Wei and directly bet on them.

Tian Xiong saw that something had happened, and the two thousand households were punished, and it was his turn next. He trembled, unsteady on his feet, fell to his knees, and begged for mercy.

Ma Yishan glanced at Tian Xiong with contempt, and continued to read, "Descend to Tian Xiong, eat the old master, break the bones and dismember, the crime is extremely evil, and it should be executed together." However, the regent Nian Zai's general Tian Xiong had the merit of opening the door and surrendering, pardoning the capital crime, depriving him of all military positions, expelling him from the barracks, and fending for himself. ”

Tian Xiong was both surprised and delighted when he heard this, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He originally thought that he would also be executed this time, but he didn't expect Fang Yuan to spare his life. If you don't have a military position, you'll be gone! At least the silver looted was enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Tian Xiong kowtowed to Ma Yishan again and again to thank him, and escaped from the barracks as if flying.

Since Ma Yishan was Ma Shiying's confidant, Fang Yuan ordered him to preside over this public trial and execute Wang and Zhao, two thousand households, as well as 1,300 rebellious soldiers.

The Xuanjia army brought all the remaining soldiers to the gate of the outer city of Fengyang, and Ma Yishan put two thousand households and 1,300 rebels who were traitors and criminals up, and announced the crimes of the rebels in front of the soldiers, and executed them in public!

In an instant, there was a scream outside Fengyang City, and the blood and water were left on the ground, staining the official road red, as well as the water of the moat.

Ma Yishan executed these rebels, and then announced the regent's policy of disposing of the surrendered troops to the remaining frightened soldiers who were like frightened birds.

Among the 5,000 soldiers, if they can meet the conditions for joining the Xuanjia Army, they can apply to join the Xuanjia Army on their own. If the conditions for joining the army cannot be met, one person will be given three taels of silver and sent home to farm.

The five thousand surrenderers returned from the death line, only to find that Fang Yuan not only did not wantonly kill the surrendered troops, but also gave them the opportunity to join the army, and those who could not join the army were also dismissed with silver. This kind of generous condition has been unheard of in recent years. In an instant, the entire Fengyang City swept away the previous terrifying atmosphere, and turned to thunderous cheers, and the voices of the soldiers praising Fang Yuan's great benevolence and righteousness resounded into the sky.

The task of collecting and dismissing 5,000 soldiers was handed over to Jing Jie to carry out, and the women of Ma Shiying's mansion, including Ma Shiying's wife Tang, two daughters, and the only remaining five-year-old child were all brought to the barracks.

When the five-year-old rebelled into the house, he was hidden by the maid in the cellar where the food was stored, and he was considered to have escaped.

The female dependents who had just been devastated by the chaotic soldiers were brought into the Xuanjia Army barracks, and they were also faltering in panic, afraid that what awaited them was more cruel destruction.

Fang Yuan saw that the four of them entered, and the Tang family was in their thirties, estimated to be Ma Shiyingxinna's wife, and the two daughters were fourteen or fifteen years old. But all of them had haggard faces, like withered trees, curled up and hugged together, looking at Fang Yuan's eyes full of fear, it could be seen that the destruction of the previous rebels had caused serious damage to their bodies and minds.

The only five-year-old child was so frightened that he cried when he saw the solemn faces of the Xuanjia sergeants, even the fierce looks.

Fang Yuan also secretly sighed when he saw it, if Ma Shiying had known that his family was such a result, who would he be loyal to and who would die before?!

Ma Yishan stepped forward and said comfortingly, "The regent has pardoned the Ma family, and it was also the regent who rescued the ladies and ladies from the rebels. ”

The Tang clan looked at Fang Yuan, an opponent who had been hostile to Ma Shiying for several years, suspiciously, and still didn't dare to believe it easily.

Fang Yuan asked a few women to sit down, and when the three women sat tremblingly, he said lightly, "Mrs. Ma, although Governor Ma has been hostile to me for several years, I respect him as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has committed suicide and martyrdom, all grievances are over! I will posthumously give the two of them, Ma Shiying is loyal, Huang Degong is martial, and the two will be buried with the gift of the governor and the chief soldier. ”

Tang Shi was stunned on the spot when he heard this, Fang Yuan, who was the enemy, would generously bury Ma Shiying and Huang Degong, and even gave a positive nickname, which she didn't expect, tears couldn't help but stay, and Chong Fang Yuan knelt down and thanked him again and again.

Fang Yuan stepped forward to help her up and continued, "Mrs. Ma, I will make you the second rank of Mrs. Commandment. You can continue to live in Fengyang, and the Ma family's house in Fengyang City, I will return ten. And the money which was plundered by the rebels shall be returned eighty thousand taels for your future use. Everything has been rained and sunny, let's live with peace of mind! ”

Tang family, and Ma Shiying's two daughters were humiliated by the rebels these days, where did they think that there would be a day when they would see the bright moon through the clouds? Now that the bitterness has finally come, they hugged their heads and cried, and they knelt down together to thank Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan ordered Ma Yishan to take them down to settle down, and when they got out of the barracks, they looked at the towering Fengyang City in front of them, everything had been settled, what should they do with this Fengyang City next?
