Chapter 527: Seize the office
Pu Shougeng got up in a trance and moved in front of Cheng Yue, bowed his head and said, "Pu Shougeng is here, please ask the Metropolitan Governor to command." ”
Cheng Yue said: "I gave you a chance just now, but you still refuse to obey, I am very disappointed in you." Leave the errands of your coastal envoy and Fujian pacification envoy to Wang Jiweng, and concentrate on managing the Quanzhou City Bosi. Your fleet has been lent to me for the Crusades, and the navy and army will not allow you to interfere again, do you understand? ”
When Pu Shougeng and the Pu family heard Cheng Yue's words, they suddenly thundered like five thunders, shaking their brains blank.
Finished! The Pu clan is finished!
Although the most critical city division is still in the hands of the Pu family, but the power of Fujian and Quanzhou has been deprived by the metropolitan governor, Pu Shougeng's official position was directly reduced from the second product to the fourth product, since then, the Pu family in Quanzhou and Fujian to see the face of others, no longer call the wind and rain in the past!
And all this is because they disobeyed Cheng Yue's orders! Why bother, why bother! It's stupid!
The civil officials of Quanzhou watched in amazement as the Pu family, which had been rampant in Quanzhou and even Fujian for 30 years, collapsed in a few words from the governor of the capital, and the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
However, a few months ago, the Pu family was still proud. Their relationship with the imperial court is not very good, but as long as they are backed by the big tree of the metropolitan governor, what is the imperial court?
The Governor handed over the most confidential shipbuilding drawings to Pu Shougeng, and sent his cronies to Quanzhou to supervise the construction, and the Pu family also contributed a large amount of money to the Governor's shipbuilding and the Eastern Crusade, and this relationship is extremely deep no matter how you look at it.
Later, the Metropolitan Governor asked the Pu family to hand over military power, but the Pu family just tried to delay the implementation of the Metropolitan Governor's orders and try to ensure that their power was not greatly damaged. This was nothing at all in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. I never expected the result. In one fell swoop, he angered the Grand Duke.
The governor came to Quanzhou from Lin'an. With a wave of his hand, the Pu family collapsed, although it cannot be called a collapse, but the glory of the past and the achievements of the past have all been written off!
The two second-grade official positions enshrined by the imperial court, Pu Shougeng still wants to go to the next level. In just a few words from the Grand Duke, he was completely deprived! If it is someone else, he must even write and resign from the errand of the Boshi Division in Quanzhou City to show his repentance. But where does the Pu family still have this kind of courage at this time? I'm afraid that once the book is written, the governor of the capital will agree to peel off the Pu family to the end, and the Pu family's decades of hard work can be said to be in vain!
Just a few days, but just a few days! Quanzhou and even Fujian have been turned upside down, which has caught everyone off guard and dazzled!
is worthy of being the Grand Governor, this is the real hero!
Pu Shougeng shuddered violently, and the chill in his heart penetrated the bone marrow! That's it? The Pu family's years of hard work have come to naught in a snap of a finger? No, no! Grand Governor. Am I wrong?!
Pu Shougeng just wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy, but Cheng Yue said to Wang Jiweng: "Lord Wang." In the past few days, you and Pu Shougeng will hand over it, and it must be done before I leave, and from now on, you must be loyal to your duties and not slack off. ”
Wang Jiweng hurriedly saluted and said: "Yes, the lower officials should remember the lessons of the metropolitan governor." Dantou glanced at Cheng Yue's face and said cautiously: "Governor, do you want to wait for the will of the imperial court to come down before handing over?" Otherwise, there is something that is not in line with the law. ”
Cheng Yue didn't move, and said, "It doesn't matter, you just have to hand it over." The queen mother once gave me a private seal, which can be given to the officials in various places on her behalf, and I will send you a decree as soon as I return, so you don't have to worry. ”
Wang Jiweng couldn't help but gasp! The Empress Dowager actually gave the Metropolitan Governor a seal, and the Metropolitan Governor made an order based on this seal, how is it different from the emperor?
When Wang Jiweng thought of this, he didn't have any worries, and immediately bowed down and said, "The minister Wang Jiweng is grateful for obeying the order." ”
Cheng Yue nodded slightly, ignoring Pu Shou Gengli, who was pale and desperate on the side.
By this time, the last arm had been chopped off and thrown into a large pile of arms, which was a sight to behold. The school field was full of crimson, and the smell of blood was disgusting. At least a dozen onlookers couldn't hold back any longer, ran into the distance and vomited.
Several of the prisoners whose arms had been cut off had died of blood loss, lying in a half-finger-deep pool of blood, their bodies still twitching slightly.
Cheng Yue's expression was indifferent, and he ordered: "The whole army of the guards will return to the house, and this place will be handed over to Lord Wang to clean up." ”
Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu immediately gathered the guards and wiped the swords and leather boots.
Cheng Yue ordered Totoku again: "You sent someone to throw the corpses of the three hundred and eighteen people into the pigsty and let them eat them." If someone robs a corpse or attacks you, you don't have to ask for your life, just kill you on the spot! You send people to watch over all the places inside and outside the city, and if there is any change, suppress it immediately! ”
Tokhtar saluted, "Yes! ”
Cheng Yue finally said to Pu Shouchen: "You go and find a way to appease the law-abiding Muslims, tell them not to panic, I am not targeting them, they are welcome in Quanzhou." And the merchants who come and go, and you have to make it clear to them. I mean, do you understand? ”
Pu Shouchen said bitterly: "Yes, my subordinates understand that they must do their best to serve the governor." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said to Pu Shouchen gently: "I keep in mind the merits that the Pu family has made for me, I still have a lot to do in the future, your Pu family still has a lot to do, don't be discouraged because of this setback." You are usually very popular with the people, I know everything, whether the Pu family can revive or not does not depend on me, but on you. I won't talk about anything else, so go ahead. ”
Pu Shouchen sighed and said, "Yes, the subordinates should keep in mind the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor and not disgrace the Pu family again." ”
Cheng Yue took Wan Ze's hand and said, "I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go back first." ”
All the civil and military hurriedly said in unison: "Congratulations to the Governor." ”
Cheng Yue gave Xu Hanqing and the other three a thumbs up, smiled, and took the five girls back to the car, with the escort on the side, all the way back to the mansion.
That night, Cheng Yue and his wife and concubine were in love, but there were turbulent waves inside and outside Quanzhou. The whole city of Quanzhou was under martial law, and the army went to the streets to guard it.
As Cheng Yue expected, there were indeed people trying to cause trouble, how could the relatives of those who were killed watch the bodies of their relatives being eaten by pigs? Of course, they went crazy and stepped forward to snatch the corpse, but they were all bloodily suppressed by Tokhoff and Xu Hanqing, who had been prepared for a long time, and killed more than a thousand Muslims who desperately wanted to rob the corpse, and some families were killed by the whole family!
Totoku was red-eyed and almost expanded the scope of the massacre, but fortunately was stopped by Xu Hanqing and Mrs. Xu. Under the brutal repression of Tokhtar, the remaining Muslims in the city remained silent and kept to themselves, allowing their Muslim brothers to be eaten by pigs.
Other mild-mannered Muslims were terrified, and several members of the Pu family went door-to-door to persuade them. Under the fear, the Pu family didn't suffer much scolding! Even the families of the tortured Muslims did not dare to insult the Pu family, for fear of being implicated again.
Relying on Cheng Yue's reputation all the time, coupled with Pu Shouchen and the Pu family's desire to replease Cheng Yue, they kept appeasing everywhere, and after spending a sleepless night of worry, those Muslims who kept to themselves finally let go of a little heart, and the killing sound in Quanzhou City gradually subsided, and did not fall into great chaos.
The ordinary people of Quanzhou are very happy, Pu Shougeng indulges some foreign Muslims to be overbearing, I thought that no one could do anything to him, but I didn't expect the governor to come, but in three days, all the foreigners who did not obey the discipline were killed, and other criminals were cut off and their ears were cut off, which made the people of Quanzhou breathe a bad breath! If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, the city of Quanzhou would have set off firecrackers early in the morning.
The next day, Cheng Yue got up early in the morning, washed and changed clothes, Mrs. Gu came in and reported: "Official, last night in Quanzhou City, more than 1,000 people were killed for robbing corpses and attacking officials and soldiers, there was no major riot in addition, just now Totokh and Pu Shouchen came to report, everywhere has been settled, some Muslims are still afraid, as soon as the city gate is opened, they will hide outside the city to avoid trouble, other than that, there is nothing else, please rest assured." ”
Cheng Yue nodded slightly, and said: "I'm actually not worried, if there are really people who dare to make trouble, I am also ready to kill another batch, of course, it is naturally better not to kill." ”
Yaguli remembered the continuous screams yesterday, and couldn't help but shiver, "Official, will this kill too much?" ”
Cheng Yue knew that she couldn't bear it, so he hugged her into his arms and said softly: "Yaguli, you and I are not a person who loves to kill, but some things are really better than short pain." If these people are not eliminated, Quanzhou will not have long-term peace and stability, and I don't want to be distracted by the affairs of Quanzhou anymore, so I can only kill them. You see, Umar, Ali Hague, and you are all Muslims, do I do anything to you? Those who were killed were different, they deserved it! ”
Yaguli muttered, "Is the matter in Quanzhou over?" ”
Cheng Yue pondered: "I hope so, but I'm afraid it may not be as I wish." ”
After breakfast, Cheng Yue ordered to prepare a carriage. Kuo Kuolun said: "Haven't you always disliked Buddhism? Why did you go to Quanzhou South Shaolin this time? ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "It's just curious, nothing else." ”
South Shaolin has Quanzhou and Putian two, the South Shaolin of Quanzhou has been three revival and three wastes, has been destroyed many times, what is seen in the contemporary is the temple that was rebuilt according to the appearance of the early construction of the Tang Dynasty. Quanzhou South Shaolin legend for the rescue of the Tang King of Shaolin one of the thirteen stick monks of the Zhikong Zen Master created, martial arts flourishing, has always been extremely negative temperament, Cheng Yue from the modern time to the Song Dynasty, of course want to see it. Moreover, he had other purposes.
Babahan said with a smile: "I heard that there are more than 1,000 warrior monks in Shaolin in Quanzhou, do you want to recruit monks?" ”
Cheng Yue laughed and said: "Your news is really well-informed, I do mean this." Of course, it's good to have monks and soldiers, but it doesn't matter if you don't, I can't rely on monks to strengthen the army. ”
As soon as the carriage was ready, Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan rushed to the gate of the mansion to wait.
When Cheng Yue heard that they had arrived, he got up and said, "Let's go, Quanzhou Shaolin is also a quiet place, the scenery is good, and it's not bad to go there to play." (To be continued.) )
