After conquering Zhaoqing, the first thing Zhu Youlang did was to liquidate the traitors, punish the officials who surrendered to the Tartars according to the law, and summon the people to watch the execution ground in the west of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the news was released, it spread throughout the entire Zhaoqing City in less than half a day, and the people began to be suspicious, after all, there were many officials who surrendered to the Tartars, and when they saw a few bloody heads hanging on the suspension pole of the execution ground in the west of the city, they believed it, because one of the heads was Chen Zhiji, the former prefect of Zhaoqing, and it was personally ordered to be killed by the emperor tomorrow.

For the Han thief Chen Zhiji, who once surrendered and followed behind the Tartars, forced them to turn their backs on their ancestors with a butcher's knife, shaved their hair and changed their clothes, the people have long hated it, under the oppression of this Han thief, they were constantly urged to pay for food, and the food stored at home became less and less, and most of the people had no choice but to mix wheat husk in coarse grains, and even survive by peeling off the bark and cooking it.

Fortunately, this kind of day did not last long, the great tomorrow did not forget his subjects, and now he finally came back with his guards, and the Ming Wang Division, which they had been waiting for, finally came back, and the people were excited and inexplicable for a while. They flocked to the execution ground.

As more and more people stepped into the execution ground, some of them who were deeply persecuted, when they saw a series of human heads hanging not far from them, especially after seeing Chen Zhiji's head, they could no longer hold back the anger in their hearts.

Zhu Youlang did not stop their rude behavior, let the people vent wildly, when the Qing army invaded Zhaoqing, slaughtered the city for three days in a row, killed a lot of resisting gentry and people, the city was full of blood and pestles, corpses were all over the ground, and many women from good families were also harmed.

Later, Chen Zhiji, a Han thief who took over Zhaoqing, relied on hundreds of green battalion soldiers allocated by the Manchu master Tong Yangjia to enforce the shaving order in Zhaoqing, changed the crown and changed clothes, forced men to wear horse coats, and killed a group of hardliners.

"There is no village in the county, there is no family in the village, there is no family in the family, and there is no woman in the county." This is a true portrayal of the occupied areas at that time.

The people were very hateful to the Tartars and the Han thieves who gave their lives to the Tartars, and when they were almost vented, Zhu Youlang asked the sergeant to bring the Tartar captives he had caught before to the scene for the people present to identify. Let them find out the Qing court officials who have done a lot of evil and caused more serious disasters, and accept the punishment they deserve, the eyes of the people are bright, who has done something sorry for them, they can all remember it, and after a lot of work, several of them have been identified by the people.

Without saying a word, Zhu Youlang asked the sergeant to pull them out of the group of prisoners, and made them kneel down in front of thousands of people who came to watch the execution, so frightened that these officials kowtowed desperately one by one, begging Zhu Youlang to spare their lives.

Zhu Youlang was dressed in military uniform, under the escort of a group of cronies, slowly stepped on a temporary high platform, his eyes swept over the black oppressive crowd at his feet, when the people under his feet saw the tall, majestic face of the Son of Heaven ascended the high platform, they couldn't help but kneel to the ground, uneven three shouts long live, after the pilgrimage ceremony, the field gradually quieted down.

After Zhu Youlang cleared his throat, he said loudly: "Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come." The Han thief Chen Zhiji was also killed by my order, and the other Han thief Tartar officials who did a lot of evil should also settle accounts for their ancestors and ancestors! ”

After speaking, his eyes coldly glanced at the few captive officials who were pulled to a clearing and kneeled at his feet, and did not pay attention to their cries for mercy and help, raised his hands high, waved them hard, and then shouted: "Kill!" ”

With the emperor's order, several guards who had been preparing on the side immediately rushed forward, held them down, and then raised the waist knife in their hands with a brush, and shouted loudly, and then waved the knife and chopped it down, only to see a piece of blood splashing, five or six good heads, and they rolled down to the masonry of the execution ground on the spot, and the blood sprayed out dyed the cyan masonry into a blood-red color.

After a moment of silence, the arena erupted in thunderous cheers.

The common people, and even some good gentlemen who had been persecuted in the war, clapped their hands and shouted, "Well killed!" Well done! These who have suffered a thousand swords have finally been punished......"

In the midst of the cheers of everyone, a young student in his twenties, wearing a shabby Confucian crown, staggered out of the crowd with a limp, fell to his knees in front of the high platform where the emperor was standing, and after kowtowing three times, he raised his head and said loudly to Zhu Youlang: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for avenging the grass people!" ”

Everyone behind him also reacted at this time, kneeling on the ground with hula, and the sound of gratitude and gratitude rang out.

Zhu Youlang held his hands weakly: "You don't have to be like this, let's be even!" ”

When the imperial guards conveyed the emperor's words to the ears of the people, they made a noise for a while before they stood up one by one.

Seeing that everyone was up, Zhu Youlang once again said loudly to the people and gentry in the audience: "The recovery of Lindu is only the first step of my personal conquest, and then I will continue to fight with the Tartars with the heroic Ming soldiers, and they will not stop until they completely drive the Tartars out of Liangguang, out of the south, and outside the pass!" Give all living beings a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live! ――”

After hearing this, the people couldn't help but shout excitedly. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors to this day, they have never met such a close to the people, love the people like a son, when the Han people are about to die out of the country and extinct the species, there is such a Son of Heaven, they suddenly have the feeling of the backbone, some young descendants are secretly determined in their hearts, if there is a chance, they must join the Son of Heaven's guards and pro-army, and the Son of Heaven to kill the Tartars.

For several days in a row, the sound of firecrackers in Zhaoqing City continued, the people not only spontaneously cut off their braids, but also took off their robes and horse coats, and put on the clothes of the Han family.

And Zhu Youlang has not been idle in these days, he has focused on several major military and political matters, the first of which is to count grain, grass and ordnance.

Du Yong and his gang fled in too much hurry, and they didn't have time to destroy the grain and weapons stored in the city, so that the guards and pro-army could get the granaries, warehouses and other places intact.

In the main hall of the Yamen of the Zhaoqing Prefect, it has now been used as a temporary military hall, and Wang Fuzhi, the military envoy of the capital supervisor, is reporting to Zhu Youlang on the situation of grain and grass reserves.
