Chongzhen naturally had a clear investigation into where Ning Zhiyuan got so much silver to subsidize Ningxia, from that group of corrupt officials, but Ning Zhiyuan was very satisfied with the fact that he could use them on the people.

At this time, Ning Zhiyuan, a few days after losing Liu Ru is daughters, was sending 50,000 troops from Ningxia Wei and Ningxia Zhongwei to Guyuan Town, which was allowed by Chongzhen.

The road is lined with greenery and life.

"Childe, this time it's so majestic." Chen Biao said very proudly, "We will definitely wipe out that group of White Lotus Sect thieves." ”

Ning Zhiyuan personally led the troops this time to express his anger, if he is disobedient, he will beat you to death, and if you are a thief, he will hack you to death.

He asked Sun Yi about the situation of Zhou Chi, the general soldier of Guyuan, but he didn't get much information, because Zhou Chi had never heard of He Huchen's discipline before, and He Huchen didn't care, just manage one acre and three points of land by himself.

The people of Shaanxi have been pacified, and the situation outside the customs is also very good, so Ning Zhiyuan really can't figure out if the rebels in Guyuan Town are dying, and they want to rebel just because of one town, but how many people are willing to accompany him to toss around.

The group of people swept to the outside of Guyuan Town, and at this time, the gate of Guyuan Town was wide open, and there were people outside the city to greet them.

"Xiaguan Zhou Chi, meet your lordship." One person in the crowd greeted respectfully, a middle-aged man in his forties, burly and powerful, and his face was quite calm.

"You know me?" Ning Zhiyuan said coldly.

"Just look at your age." Zhou Chi responded.

Surrounded by personal soldiers, he looked ahead vigilantly, as if he was afraid that a cold arrow would suddenly appear from somewhere.

"You're a thief." Ning Zhiyuan said coldly again, his tone was very affirmative, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

"No," Zhou Chi replied, looking at Ning Zhiyuan, "Everything is meant to look at the adult." ”

"The official's army of 50,000 is here, isn't it too late to meet now?" Ning Daguan sneered, "Whether you are or not, the emperor has already ordered that you be beheaded on the spot, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Xia Guan has nothing to say." Zhou Chi dismounted and said in a deep voice, "Obey the adult." ”

"Take it." Ning Zhiyuan was a little disliked, he hated this unclear situation the most, the man in front of him may not be a thief, but his behavior was really weird, and he didn't explain anything, which made him want to kill.

"Sun Yi, enter the city, control all the soldiers in the city, and if there is resistance, kill them." Ning Daguan commanded, how can 50,000 soldiers come in vain?

"My lord, the soldiers in the city are all innocent." Zhou Chi's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "Please raise your noble hand." ”

"I don't need you to say more," Ning Zhiyuan sneered, "This official has been in office for a long time, and he has always only saved people indiscriminately, never killed people indiscriminately, but it's you, this official has summoned you more than ten times before and after, and even the holy decree has been attached, and there is no response, which is no different from rebellion." ”

"Into town." Ning Zhiyuan ordered again, he didn't know the situation, so he could only try his best to control the city.

Sun Yi led four armies of 32,000 people into the city, while Zhou Chi and the more than 2,000 people behind him were taken without resistance, and Ning Zhiyuan was quietly waiting for the results in the city.

It's April, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, there is a burst of bird calls from time to time, which is a good season for spring.

Sun Yi went very fast and came back a little slowly.

Just when Ning Zhiyuan was worried about what was happening in the city, Sun Yi finally came back, and for nearly two hours, he knew that he must have encountered resistance.

"Of the 14,000 troops in the city, they controlled 12,000 people and captured more than 2,000," Sun Yi reported, with blood stains on his body, "and he lost more than 1,000 people." ”

"General Zhou, your subordinates are really brave." Ning Daguan's face was very ugly, and when his own strength was superior, he was almost close to the other party's casualties, "This is what you mean by innocence." ”

Listening to Ning Zhiyuan's words, Zhou Chi's face changed again, and he exclaimed, "This is impossible, I ordered them not to resist."

"Enter the city," Ning Zhiyuan shouted, ignoring Zhou Chi's reaction, and walking towards the city with the team while listening to Sun Yi's detailed report.

After entering the city, Ning Zhiyuan felt that this Guyuan Town was very energetic, and hesitated to enter the army, so there were almost no people on the street, but Ning Zhiyuan could feel that there were many houses and no homeless people on the streets, which was almost the same as Ningxia Wei.

"Originally, the soldiers in the city did not resist," Sun Yi said, "but later when the brothers controlled them, a few people shouted, 'The general was executed by them, avenge the general,' and then they began to resist, and it was not easy to regain control, and now those soldiers are all armed and surrounded." ”

"Then it seems that Zhou Chi's reputation is still very high?" Ning Zhiyuan said, it is indeed remarkable for a general to achieve this level of salary and silver.

Sun Yi thought for a moment, and then said with some solemnity, "The prestige is not very high, but very high, I remember that the more than 10,000 troops all rose up to resist, and the situation was not calmed down until we killed thousands of people and kept shouting that their general was not dead." ”

"Zhou Chi's family has also been controlled." Sun Yi added.

As he was talking, the military camp in Guyuan Town arrived, which made Ning Zhiyuan a little surprised, so many questions accumulated to make him prepare to interrogate Zhou Chi first.

Zhou Chi seemed to be still immersed in the stunned just now, and couldn't believe that his soldiers had resisted, which confirmed the fact that Guyuan had rebelled.

"Say what you need to say." Ning Zhiyuan asked coldly, "If you rebel, you will punish the Nine Clans, and your family will die." ”

Zhou Chi hung his head, as if he didn't react.

"Xiaguan only has a wife and a daughter, I can't persuade them to leave, I'm not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of death."

"Naturally, I will tell the adults what I should say, but I beg the adults not to insult them, and kill them." Zhou Chi's words frankly made Ning Zhiyuan a little speechless.

"You say, this official will not implicate the innocent."

Zhou Chi nodded, "I have investigated adults, and I am a good official." ”

"The lower officials killed all the landlords and rich households in Ningxia and robbed all their family property and land." Zhou Chi slowly raised his head and said.

“――――”

"Since the Wanli period, the Guyuan soldiers have not received the full amount of silver, that is, the lower official is not the Guyuan general soldier, and in the Apocalypse year, not even a penny of silver, as the Guyuan general soldier, the lower official has become the deputy chief soldier for no reason, obeying He Huchen's orders, the lower official did not listen to the order, and the soldiers were ready to move, so the lower official killed all the local squires and wealthy households, and distributed the property and land to the soldiers."

"It's been six or seven years of work." Zhou Chi sighed a little, "Xia Guan thought that the matter would be revealed soon, but he didn't think that Cheng He Huchen didn't care, and he didn't pursue it after several orders were fruitless, until he met an adult." ”

"This is the reason for more than ten times of disobedience, anyway, the result is the same, I didn't expect the lord to lead the troops to come, and the lower officials had to be arrested, otherwise the entire Guyuan would suffer."

"Let me ask a few questions that I need to answer quickly." Ning Zhiyuan said with a cold face.

“――――”

Guyuan Barracks, in the Ming Dynasty of the military household system, there is almost no place to arrange soldier training like this, and it is because there is a total soldier like Zhou Chi, so the combat power of more than 10,000 soldiers in Guyuan is extraordinary, so that the Ningxia soldiers have caused such losses, Ning Zhiyuan knows that there may be a reason for the incident, but he still can't let go of the murderer.

Moreover, Ning Zhiyuan believed that the few people who provoked the conversation were even more ill-intentioned.

"Someone just killed the soldiers in Ningxia, stand up for me." Ning Zhiyuan said coldly to the unarmed soldiers who were surrounded, this is a bit of a settlement after the autumn, how can there be no dead on the battlefield? But Ning Zhiyuan did just that.

More than 100 soldiers stood up, and it could be seen that this group of soldiers was very bloody.

"Just now there was a rumor that your general was killed." Ning Zhiyuan asked coldly again.

One person stood up, and then no one else stood up.

So Ning Zhiyuan pointed his knife at the more than 100 soldiers and sneered, "I know that there is more than this person, if no one admits it, and no one testifies, they will all die." ”

This is the way to deal with Cheng Chen's anti-people gang at the beginning, and now it is done again.
