Zhang Cunren didn't want to say it so bluntly, because it seemed that he was very insidious and not good for his reputation, but if he didn't make it clear, others pretended to be confused, and the matter was deadlocked, and he was the chief military officer of Zhejiang, and these chaotic people were not punished, especially if they did not kill the backbone of them, it is possible that such chaos will continue to occur in Zhejiang and other places in the future, and it is still himself who is unlucky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sure enough, after saying this, the tent fell silent.

Wen Tiren also took a second look at Zhang Cunren, it seems that this chief military officer is not an ordinary old man, and he is usually not a good stubble, thinking in his heart, how can His Majesty's vision be so vicious today, and he can always choose some little-known ruthless characters from some corners and places.

Zheng Zhihu, who had never spoken beside Zhang Cunren, also sighed in his heart at this time, it seems that the matters explained by his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong before Tong'an left will not work on the ground in Zhejiang.

Although Zhejiang's Zhoushan Water Division is weak, this chief military officer guarding Zhejiang is not weak, coupled with the scheming superintendents, fussiers, and inspectors, even if he is stationed in Zhejiang with 5,000 elite soldiers as he wishes, I am afraid that he will not do much in maritime affairs.

Zheng Zhilong wanted to garrison troops along the coast of Zhejiang, especially after the edict of the imperial court to open the sea spread to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Zhilong thought about whether he could take advantage of the opportunity of Zheng Zhihu leading the army into Zhejiang to quell the chaos, find a way to stay in the coastal area of Zhejiang, and gradually control the defense of the coastal area of Zhejiang.

For Zheng Zhilong, Fujian's newly opened Quanzhou Port needless to say, the future will inevitably be their own world, but Zhejiang's Ningbo Port location is more superior, Zhejiang maritime merchants before going to sea, are trying to go to Zhangzhou's Moon Port, in the future Ningbo opened the sea, the original Yue Port to go to sea Zhejiang businessmen tax silver will not fall into the hands of others?

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong sent someone to meet Zheng Zhihu in the name of transferring grain and salary, and explained to him that it would be best to gain a foothold in Ningbo in the future, not in Ningbo, and also in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, so as to leave an opportunity to control the sea surface in eastern Zhejiang in the future.

Zheng Zhilong's instructions were passed on, of course Zheng Zhihu had to follow them, but now it seems that there is no one in Zhejiang to provoke!

Zheng Zhihu was still thinking about it, so he heard Fan Jingwen, the governor of Zhejiang, say: "Lord of the army, I think Zhang Zongbing's suggestion is feasible, it not only punishes the really guilty people, but also shares the face of the court and the government. ”

Wen Tiren, who was thinking about it, heard this, and immediately said, "Then bring Tu Augly and Cheng Zai in." ”

Tu Achou and Cheng Zai were brought into the tent, and suddenly saw so many high-ranking officials and generals together, and they were also apprehensive in their hearts, knowing that the time had come to decide their own lives, as soon as they entered the tent, they knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

Wen Tiren looked coldly at the two thieves in front of him who had made a big mess in Jiaxing and Huzhou, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "Tu Augly, Cheng Zai, can you two be guilty?!" ”

Tu Augly and Cheng Zai knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, but just said vigorously: "The grass people are guilty!" The grass people are guilty! The grass people gather to make a rebellion, and the sin deserves death! I beg your pardon! ”

Seeing the two of them say this, Wen Tiren continued: "Killing officials and rebelling, gathering people to make rebellion, in all dynasties, is the heinous crime of the Nine Clans. How do you ask this official to forgive?! ”

Hearing this, Tu Achou and Cheng Zai raised their heads in horror, their eyes were full of panic, and they thought in their hearts that the government was really going to change their hexagrams? !

At this time, Ling Mengchu stepped forward and said: "Lord of the army, Tu Achou and Cheng Zai led the crowd on the mountain to kill Zhou Guoneng and Chen Dalang, the leaders of the rebels who opposed the appeasement, as well as more than 300 habitual bandits under the command of Zhou Guoneng and Chen Dalang. Please read this merit for the sake of your lordship, and treat Tu Augly and Cheng Zai lightly. ”

After Ling Mengchu finished speaking, Tu Augly and Cheng Zai also hurriedly said: "The grass people have made meritorious contributions!" The grass people have made a meritorious service! ”

Wen Tiren was in need of someone to build a step for him, so he could come down, and seeing that Ling Meng's heart was sharp, he nodded, and then said: "Yes, it is precisely because you two of you have merit that you have no decision." But what you have done so far is not enough. If you want to be acquitted, do you two need to make more contributions? ”

Tu Achou and Cheng Zai are now swords and fish and meat, knowing that it is useless to say anything, when they heard that there was still a chance, they immediately said: "The grass people are willing to make new contributions!" ”

Hearing what they said, Wen Tiren didn't speak anymore, but just nodded at Zhang Cunren, and Zhang Cunren immediately commanded his subordinates to step forward and take Tu Augly and Cheng Zai out of the tent to arrange follow-up matters.

Zhang Cunren asked Cheng Zai to personally write a petition in the name of Tu Augly and himself, and then signed and painted his handprint.

Of course, there are words in the book of guilt that he feels deeply guilty and asks for eleven to be killed, so this matter can be regarded as a round.

Tu Augly is still a little unbearable in his heart, but for people like Cheng Zai, he has always been the master of the dead Dao and the poor Dao, it doesn't matter how many others die, as long as he doesn't die.

And Zhang Cunren's suggestion also made Tu Achou feel a little relieved, because the thieves on the mountain are not all his people, and some of them are not all innocent, and they have been trapped in the mountains for three months.

In the evening, Tu Achou and Cheng Zai finally walked through the four camps for the rebellious people one by one, each camp had more than 5,000 or 6,000 people, and as little as 4,500 people, all under the custody of Zhang Cunren and Zheng Zhihu's subordinates, and there was no room for resistance at all.

And heard that Tu Achou and Cheng Zai, the two original leaders, wanted to draw one of the ten people to confess and send it to the government as a petition for being appeased, these imprisoned rioters, although they were in a commotion for a while, but in the end they still did not dare to resist.

They didn't dare to fully believe that the imperial court would pardon their sins so easily, after all, killing officials and rebelling is always the sin of beheading!

And these chaotic people are not all elm heads, the government said that it was one out of ten, but how to smoke and which one to smoke was completely handed over to the chaotic people themselves to implement.

In this way, the 20,000 rebellious people naturally have revenge and revenge, and Zhang Cunren and Zheng Zhihu's men and horses don't need to be dispatched at all, they just need to stand outside the fence made of bamboo and wait quietly.

In the blink of an eye, night came, and there were soon enough of the two thousand guilty people in the four chaotic camps.

According to the rules of the imperial court, such a large-scale punishment and murder usually has to choose a time, even if you are in a hurry, you should choose to execute at three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, that is, when the yang energy is at its most vigorous, but this time, whether it is Wen Tiren or Fan Jingwen, they are not the kind of pedantic people who read books and have bad brains.

In their opinion, among the two thousand thieves, there are those who deserve it, and if they are not killed as soon as possible, they will inevitably have a long night's dream.

Therefore, on the same night, the 2,000 backbone of the rebellious people were divided into four groups, respectively by Zhang Cunren's Zhejiang Guards and Zheng Zhihu's Zheng Jiajun, who were responsible for serving as executioners, cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, and beheading 2,000 people in one night.

The newly recruited guards under Zhang Cunren can be regarded as seeing blood at this time, and they are no longer recruits who can only dig ditches and have never seen blood.

As for Zheng Zhihu's subordinates, who were not good citizens in the first place, Zheng Jiajun finally had a sense of awe for the imperial court in his heart, and gathering people to make trouble was no longer just killing the head and rebelling without asking the rest.

On the second day, Wen Tiren asked the beheaded thieves to be sent to Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion to show the public, while shocking the people, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as an explanation to the gentry of the two places.

Wen Tiren, Fan Jingwen, and Cai Maode jointly signed a note, and they set off from Huzhou and sent them to Beijing to report the victory.

Later, Wen Tiren and Fan Jingwen stayed in Huzhou for a day, met with Huzhou's fathers, and then took Zhang Cunren, Zheng Zhihu and other troops back to their homes.

Fan Jingwen rushed back to Hangzhou with Zhang Cunren, while Wen Tiren passed through Hangzhou and then returned to Fuzhou.

As for Zheng Zhihu, he took the initiative to ask to stay and continue to be responsible for guarding the rebels, and at the same time, he also asked to assist Cai Maode, the envoy of Zhejiang, to continue to clean up other small groups of thieves on Tianmu Mountain.

Fan Jingwen and Zhang Cunren had quite doubts about this in their hearts, but seeing that Wen Tiren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, didn't think about it, they agreed, didn't say anything, and returned to Hangzhou City with questions.
