Chapter 0424: Pretentiousness and Loyalty
Fujian is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, except for those places along the coast that have been assimilated and decayed by Zheng Zhilong, other places... At least they waited until Ning Zhiyuan's troops threatened the city for a while before surrendering, as if they had backbone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ning Zhiyuan expressed his disdain, and then he couldn't make a big deal now, so he first accepted their plan to settle accounts after the autumn, since he had already taken this step, he had to do his best, such a bureaucrat could not last long, until he reached Longyan Mansion in Fujian, which is located in the center of Fujian.
Although it is expected that he came all the way smoothly, but it is indeed a little unexpected to go to more places, Da Ming is like this, it is normal for officials to have no blood, but... It's too much to be bloody, isn't it? Fortunately, it's still normal now, and there are people who are not afraid of death.
He brought nearly 100,000 men and horses from Liangguang, and encountered obstacles here in Longyan Mansion, Yu Ze, the prefect of Longyan, was standing at the head of the city with the city gate closed at the moment, looking bleak, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't see what he looked like, only knew that he was in trouble.
The weather has gradually warmed up, and it is also a good time to fight, for these southern armies to encounter Ning Zhiyuan is really a nightmare encounter, they have poor weapons, few manpower, poor training, and more importantly, no artillery.
Primitive people can't beat the special forces, even if the group of people under Ning Zhiyuan is not as good as the elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time in Ningxia, but as soon as the cannon sounds, the primitive people seem to be stupid, they have never seen this situation, less than half an hour of effort, and then the city gate is opened, and the war is over.
Ning Zhiyuan felt a little incredible.
It's not that the cannon opened the city gate, for Longyan, a relatively prosperous and sturdy city, it is not so simple to break through the city gate, and it ended so quickly because the other party surrendered.
Yes, surrendered.
Before, Ning Zhiyuan's group shouted for a few quarters of an hour to let the other party open the city and surrender, and I still remember that the official at the head of the city was full of disdain and a heroic and righteous appearance, which was really admirable, but now... Ning Zhiyuan still couldn't see what the official looked like, but he clearly saw the expression on his face collapse in an instant, and then ordered Kaicheng with a panicked face, making him sigh silently.
Yu Ze was arrested, his trembling figure really made people think he was pitiful, snot and tears flowed on the face of a typical literati in his forties, looking extremely embarrassed, and his tone was obviously very frightened, "Ning Da... My lord..."
"Will this lord surrender or not?" Ning Zhiyuan didn't know what his name was and asked directly, he didn't have so much time to beat around the bush.
Hearing Ning Zhiyuan's indifferent tone, the panic in Yu Ze's heart was much better, is this adult still eager to be talented? This thought flashed in Yu Ze's heart, and he didn't consider whether his image was a sage.
straightened his chest, and his voice was much louder, "Lord Ning, Xia Guan would rather die than surrender!" ”
Looking for talent? The indomitable person is the favorite of you superiors, Yu Ze felt that he was as clever as ever, so he would definitely be able to be used, just as he made the decision an hour ago to defend Longyan City with all his might.
Yu Ze heard that Ning Zhiyuan's journey was too smooth, and he almost didn't encounter resistance, so he decided to leave some impression on him, but he didn't expect the other party's firepower to be so strong, he was worried that the noise of the artillery would accidentally hurt himself, so he simply opened the city and surrendered, and now... Sure enough, it still left an impression?
"Xia Guan would rather die than surrender!" He felt that this sentence was very imposing, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking about how to admit it when Ning Zhiyuan opened his mouth to persuade him to surrender for the first time... Forehead... What about turning away from darkness and turning to light? The third time, no, no, at least the fourth...
"Then you will die..."Ning Zhiyuan glanced lightly at this messy bureaucrat with a ruined image, and spat out this sentence disdainfully.
Yu Ze's face stiffened, and he was immediately stunned, and he didn't realize anything until he felt that his body was being carried backwards by two soldiers, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, and a fear of death spread all over his body, and his face turned pale, "No... No... Lord Ning spares his life, the lower officials are willing to surrender, the lower officials are willing to surrender..."
Ning Zhiyuan smiled and watched him go away, Yu Ze shouted and could always see that smile, his heart became more and more cold, and he was finally stabbed in a grief-stricken voice, and blood was splashed.
This drama is really inexplicable... Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, this thought rose in his heart, he originally thought that he had finally met a man with integrity, but he didn't expect it to be just a farce, corrupt officials and evil officials are really villains, he can not kill them, but in front of him like this bureaucrat who doesn't know his name, he doesn't hesitate at all.
It's not that they're hypocritical and hateful, it's not that they're trying to deceive themselves, it's that they're holding them back, for a quarter of an hour, or a quarter of an hour.
It was only one day since he set out from Liangguang, but the territory he occupied was almost the distance that his own army could catch up, and he never delayed for a moment.
He won't kill villains and corrupt officials, because it's not time yet, who can be worse than anyone in this world, Ning Zhiyuan has changed from the angry youth at the beginning to the indifference now, maybe this is a sign of maturity, rather than startling the snake.
Longyan is a big city, so unlike Ning Zhiyuan, who only left ten soldiers in each small county to show his sovereignty, Ning Zhiyuan released a thousand people here.
Because Li Jinye's strategic business territory is constantly expanding, the already prosperous and dense shops in the Jiangnan area are even more exaggerated after Zheng Zhilong was forced to leave, plus Ningxia has a business alliance composed of wool cloth, sweet potato wine, etc., and Ning Zhiyuan's related people are almost all over every small county in the Ming Dynasty.
With a small number of troops and a large number of shopkeepers, this model is very efficient in the war-free south, and it does not disrupt their original order, which is an important reason why his progress is unusually fast.
Advancing all the way, it seems that there is no obstacle behind Long Yan.
Yong'an Mansion, Ning Daguan saw a similar scene again, the righteous official showed a disdainful expression on the city wall, but compared with a few hours ago, it seemed to be more serious and firm, unconsciously, Ning Zhiyuan laughed.
This seems to be a reincarnation, or two reincarnations on the same day, Ning Zhiyuan's soldiers couldn't help laughing, how could they still not know what was going on at the scene in Longyan a few hours ago, it was just a disguise made by a bureaucrat who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
This is another scene, this thought flashed in their hearts almost at the same time, Ning Zhiyuan's smile opened the gap and made their faces become very disdainful, looking at the people on the city wall full of banter.
On Yong'an City, the prefect looked very depressed when he saw this scene, what are these thieves laughing at, laughing at the official's self-esteem and surrendering when the car did not open the door? The official thought that this was the only possibility, so he laughed disdainfully.
What about the mantis arm blocking the car? The official still wants to organize you anti-thieves to move forward, and the official's heart is very firm and full of passion.
Ning Zhiyuan's army consciously set up a formation and bombarded with artillery, even if they disdained it, they would do things according to the charter and did not come forward to provoke, there was a roar in their ears, there was an exclamation upstairs, and the city gate suddenly opened...
Ning Zhiyuan felt a little unbelievable again.
At first, he laughed when he saw the scene on the city wall, but he thought it was a little funny, but even this similar scene Ning Zhiyuan didn't think that they were playing a routine before and after, after all, there are not too many strange things in the Ming Dynasty, is this the common point of human nature? The walls of Yong'an began to appear more quiet, but now... But the gates opened faster than Longyan City...
Looking at Yong'an, who had the city gate wide open, with a sneer on his face, Ning Zhiyuan walked in, he always thought that he had overthrown a useless court, but now that this is the case, Ning Zhiyuan felt a little sad.
No matter how bad the Ming is, is there really no one with integrity?
The official was escorted in front of Ning Zhiyuan with a pale face, and kept muttering words like anti-thief and anti-thief, the guard's face was ugly, but Ning Zhiyuan was a little interested, and he knew what was going on as soon as he inquired from elsewhere.
This is an official who really wants to resist, and the only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in the city are willing to fight with him, but unfortunately the city gate was secretly opened by the spies in the city.
The spy is Ning Zhiyuan's shop guys all over the world, and he has once again played a big role.
"The official asks you, is it to descend or not?" Ning Zhiyuan's tone was indifferent, just like last time, he was really interested in knowing the official's reaction.
"I'd rather die than surrender!" The officer gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.
"Oh?" Ning Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and laughed, he knew the answer, and said lightly, "Then you will die..."
The official's gray face moved slightly, and he finally took a closer look at Ning Zhiyuan, "Lord Ning is really different from those high-ranking officials in the court!" Haha, but you're just a thief after all! ”
The guards were very angry, and Ning Zhiyuan just asked again, "Is it to descend or not?" ”
The official straightened his chest, his face regained some ruddyness, and he straightened his chest to look fearless, and this silence was his reply.
"Then you will die..."Ning Zhiyuan whispered softly, and then waved his hand, along with the soldiers who resisted just now, they were all going to die in his heart.
In this world, it is not that you will be admired if you are noble, and the final outcome of generosity and fearlessness is often death, just as the soldiers who survive on the battlefield are usually the ones who know how to save their lives and fear death, but Ning Zhiyuan is very relieved, even if he knows that he killed a good person and a group of loyal soldiers.
The prefect of Longyan City is called Yu Ze, and Wang Wu said it when he was in a hurry, after all, he is also a person who is quite interesting on this road, and he is very well-known in Longyan City, Wang Wu knows his name casually, but this official Ning Zhiyuan also made a special inquiry after his death, and still doesn't know what his name is, only that he came to office three months ago, and his surname is Qiu.
Ning Zhiyuan felt that he should not be called Qiu Shaoyun, but he was also a martyr, he let Ning Zhiyuan know that the Han people still have a backbone, although this is very pedantic, but the world always needs this kind of person, otherwise it will be incomplete.
So even if he finally answered that he surrendered, then Ning Zhiyuan would kill him, but then Ning Zhiyuan felt that he would be very regretful, he felt that a dignified death was still the best destination for the unknown official, and there was always something to hold on to in life.
"Let's cremate them..."The pile of corpses was a bit exaggerated, but Ning Zhiyuan was obviously accustomed to it, and left such an order before leaving.
In such a short period of time, he couldn't remember what that official looked like, a very ordinary public face, let him go with the wind and look at the Daming he wanted.
.........
The neat sound of sharpening knives came down from the city, and there were many Baixin with dull faces on the city wall, Wen Hao said that he didn't know what they meant, could it be to show himself and others how they killed the people?
"The thieves under the city listen..."A loud voice sounded on the city wall, it was a group of people who shouted together, and Wen Hao planned to listen carefully.
"These... It's all your spies who ambushed Lord Ning in the capital, if you don't retreat, don't blame me for being polite, they all died because of you, a total of 20,000 people..."
Wen Hao felt that they were idiots, and shouted disdainfully, "If there are really 20,000 undercover agents, will we still use them here to surround you?" ”
The faces of the people on the city wall were slightly moved, how reasonable it was, they were very aggrieved after not eating for a few days and enjoying inhuman treatment, but the next second they were greeted by a ruthless machete, which had been polished extremely sharp, and cut off their heads.
A miserable scene, Rao Yiwen Hao is accustomed to seeing the experience of the battlefield of life and death, seeing this scene is a little unbearable, this is clearly a massacre, but it is obvious that the slaughter is not as many as they said 20,000 people, maybe only a part, a small part, but this kind of scene of spilling blood on the city wall is still extremely spectacular.
Wen Hao was silent, he knew that these people were innocent, probably there were people from Ningxia hidden in the shops in all the cities of the Ming Dynasty, but there was really no capital at this moment, these were just hired guys, and the few more than 1,000 people had already left a few days before the closure of the city.
I really don't know how they were interrogated, Wen Hao frowned and didn't understand, he believed that his son's original intention was definitely not to kill these people, hey, this evil court, all evil Ming!
The people of the capital were already panicking, and the fact that so many people had been captured and killed in the city was said to be spies, which made them even more afraid, because they did not believe it.
This is clearly nonsense, they don't know what kind of conspiracy and what anti-thief, among the 20,000 people who were arrested, there are their families, neighbors, and two stunned children and three children who grew up together... How did an honest man who did his duty become a thief?!
Although the security in the city is really good, they are very cold.
