Under the walls of the school field, the sound of fried beans sounded from time to time, and there were screams and wails. After each round of fire from the firecrackers in Huguang Town, nearly 100 rebels were killed. In just a few moments, hundreds of rebellious soldiers who had committed capital crimes had gone.

The rebels who had not been executed for the time being saw the terrible scene of their comrades, and they all screamed and struggled to resist. But because they had been scattered and firmly trapped, all the struggles and resistance seemed so powerless, and they could only be pushed down under the wall by the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town in a group in extreme fear, and then they were killed by the platoon of guns.

Such a method of execution is far quicker than beheading, and it is also particularly shocking. When the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town were executed, the people who still had not returned home stood at the other end of the school field to watch. Seeing those rebellious soldiers fall to the ground one after another in the fierce bang, the people were not only shocked, but also happy and relieved, and sighed in their hearts at the moment: God still has his eyes open after all, and the wicked finally have evil retribution! Soon, as the first bold person applauded without being stopped by the officers and soldiers on the school ground, the rest of the people also vented their feelings without scruples. The sound of cheers and tears of joy rolled like thunder, and even drowned out the sound of the execution.

Huang Chaoxuan watched his subordinates being killed by the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town one by one, his face turned pale at first, and then turned iron blue, his huge fists were clenched, and his eyes that swept towards Pang Yue were full of resentment. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some reason left in the brain. Coupled with the surveillance and threats of the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town on the school field, Huang Chaoxuan really wanted to go forward and have a good fight with Pang Yue in person.

Not only Huang Chaoxuan, but also Liu Chengyin, Xiao Kuang and other general soldiers of the other towns were also shocked, not only sighing at the shock brought by the execution scene, but also marveling at Zhu Dadian's resolute and resolute style. More than 1,000 rebels killed when they said they would, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation. But they also knew that all this also depended on Pang Yue's quick decision, subduing the rebels in the shortest possible time, and firmly deterring them. Otherwise, Zhu Dadian might not have killed so without any worries. As soon as they thought of this, they couldn't help but be even more impressed by Pang Yue's methods, and secretly spoke one after another. Especially Liu Chengyin. There was a little more vigilance and vigilance in his eyes than in the past, because he knew that the military discipline of the army under his command was no better than that of the Huang Dynasty Propaganda Department, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers of the Huang Dynasty Propaganda Department who were the first to come out this time, maybe it was his subordinates who fell into the hands of Pang Yue.

The expressions and reactions of the general soldiers of each town were all seen by Pang Yue. He didn't care about Huang Chaoxuan's resentful gaze at all. Since the dispatch of troops to subdue the rebels. He expected this, he violated Huang Chaoxuan's interests, and of course he would be hated by him, which was inevitable. In addition, Pang Yue saw that the eyes of the general soldiers of the rest of the towns had also changed. It seems that he feels vigilant and wary of his act of attacking Huang Chaoxuan's subordinates. For such a result, Pang Yue had already expected that no matter how small the attack area was after quelling the rebellious troops this time, it would more or less cause some waves in the hearts of the other military town commanders. After all, these more than 3,000 Huang rebels were subdued and captured by themselves, and they were executed in the military camp in Huguang Town.

But even so, Pang Yue did not feel the slightest regret for his actions. If troops were not dispatched in time to stop the rebellion of the Huang Dynasty's Propaganda Department this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. With the Huang Dynasty's Propaganda Department taking the lead, this kind of atrocity against the common people will spread like a plague to the rest of the military towns, gradually evolving into an uncontrollable trend, and the situation will become out of control. At that time, Pang Yue did not dare to guarantee 100 percent, but with the strength of Huguang Town, he could continue to control the situation. Even, under the influence of such a plague-like tide, the bestiality buried in the hearts of some officers and soldiers in Huguang Town will be completely stimulated, and in this way, the people's sense of identity with the imperial army, which is not very solid, will completely collapse. Therefore, only by killing those rebellious soldiers who committed the most heinous crimes can we give a decent explanation to the people and deter the ruffians who are already ready to move in the rest of the military towns.

While the rebels who had committed capital crimes were executed in batches, the rest of the captured rebels were dragged to the other end of the school yard and given military clubs. Although these people were not identified by the people, they committed no small crimes, and besides, some of them may have slipped through the net. Therefore, the officers and men of Huguang Town, who were responsible for beating the military sticks, were not relentless at all. One by one, the military sticks fell heavily with a roar, splashing bursts of blood and causing a terrible scream.

……

An hour later, more than 1,000 rebels who had committed capital crimes had all been killed, and the rest had all received their due batons, and during this time, more than 100 more people had failed to resist and were beaten to death by their batons.

"The Governor, the Governor, and all the adults, all the rebels who deserve to be killed have been ambushed, and the rest have all been punished." Pang Yue came to Zhu Dadian, He Tengjiao and other civil officials to hug his fists.

"Good!" Zhu Dadian nodded, and looked at Huang Chaoxuan again: "General Huang, this time your soldiers went out of the camp without authorization and poisoned the people in broad daylight, as the chief soldier, you should also bear the responsibility!" But if you really don't know, the old man will give you a light punishment and punish you for three years! In addition, you will also bear the compensation for the dead and wounded! Do you have any objections? ”

Although Huang Chaoxuan was rampant, due to the deterrence of Huguang Town, and the fact that he was facing Zhu Dadian, who was an old qualification, he did not dare to be presumptuous, and immediately agreed: "The superintendent is punished, and the last general will not dare to have the slightest complaint." ”

For Huang Chaoxuan, who is good at making extra income, such a little money is naturally not a problem. What's more, he had just seen that his son Huang Qiying had already been tortured with a stick, and although he was beaten half to death, he finally picked up a life, and he also counted a matter of his heart.

At this time, on the other side of the school field, the people saw that all the rebels had been duly punished, and immediately burst into even more enthusiastic cheers, shouting "The sky has eyes!" "Thank you, Lord Qingtian! and other slogans. There were also many people who knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to the place where the civil officials were.

After seeing the reaction of the people, Zhu Dadian's face finally softened a little, and said to Pang Yue: "Drag all the corpses of the executed rebels out of the city to be buried, and let the people go home!" ”

"Yes!" Pang Yue took the order and left.

You wait! One day, Lao Tzu will make you pay a heavy price for today's actions! …… Looking at the back of Pang Yue's departure, Huang Chaoxuan's gaze was extremely cold, like a lone wolf after being injured, and he gritted his teeth and said silently.

……

The news of the execution of more than 1,000 rebels soon spread throughout the city, and only then did the fluctuating hearts of the people gradually settle down.

That night, Zhu Dadian discussed with He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi and other local officials overnight and decided: In order to prevent such incidents from happening again. Except for the Changsha General Soldier Wang Jincai and the Governor Fu Standard Battalion, which were originally stationed in the city, the rest of the military towns were all camped outside the city, but the wounded soldiers could stay in the city, and the local government was responsible for the necessary grain, grass and other living materials.

After this decision was issued to the military towns in the form of an order, Pang Yue first expressed his obedience on behalf of the soldiers of Huguang Town. At dawn the next day, he began to move under the guidance of local officials, except for the wounded in the army. The rest of the officers and soldiers all went out of the city and camped.

With Pang Yue to set an example. Liu Chengyin, Huang Chaoxuan, Xiao Kuang, the general soldiers of the three towns and a small number of loyal battalion soldiers and horses in the city naturally had no reason to stay, and then they also drove out of the city one after another, and were stationed outside the city with the main force of the loyal battalion. At this point, the city was gradually restored to its previous order. The prestige of Pang Yue and the soldiers of Huguang Town also began to slowly spread in the city.

As for Liu Chengyin, although he hated Pang Yue so much, he was still helpless for a while.

……

Four days later. On March 24, new news came from the north: Duoduo led the main force of the southern expedition to Yuezhou after resting for only two days, and then set off again to return north and headed for Wuchang, leaving the Gongshun Wang Kong Youde and the Yuezhou general army Ma Jiaolin to garrison Yuezhou. He also appointed Xu Yong, the general soldier of Huangzhou, who had almost become the commander of the light pole, as the general soldier of Changsha, responsible for recruiting regiments to train Xiangyong near Yuezhou to form a new army, and cooperate with Kong Youde and Ma Jiaolin to defend together.

This shows that the Qing army's southern expedition has been completely ended, and the Qing army's posture against the Ming army has once again changed from offensive to defensive. After the news reached Changsha, the officials, soldiers and civilians of the city were even more jubilant, and the atmosphere was comparable to that when Duoduo Gang led the main force to evacuate Changsha.

……

On March 26, a team composed of eunuchs and Jinyi guards in the palace, led by Ma Wenqian, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and Bingbi, set out from Hengzhou to Changsha with a large number of reward materials and the will of Emperor Longwu to reward the meritorious military generals.

Upon receiving this news, the military generals in Changsha who had just rejoiced at the complete return of the Qing army to the north were even more excited. Although the national crisis is now at hand, and the imperial court is not able to come up with too many actual materials to reward everyone, the reward of the Son of Heaven symbolizes an honor after all, and as a courtier, everyone still feels extra valued and honored.

In the afternoon of the same day, the envoy of the edict came to the camp in Huguang Town, and Ma Wenqian personally brought people over. Seeing this scene, Pang Yue and the generals of Huguang Town did not dare to slack off, and they placed the incense case and knelt down to receive the order.

With a hint of a smile on his face, Ma Wenqian glanced at the generals of Huguang Town who were kneeling, and then unfolded the holy decree and read it out: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: At the beginning of the year, the eastern captives invaded the south, and the national situation was suddenly in danger......"

In the holy decree, Emperor Longwu first affirmed and praised the achievements of Huguang Town, and then rewarded all the meritorious generals. Among the people who received the reward, Pang Yue naturally ranked first.

"Dingwu Bo, Huguang Commander Sidu Commander Envoy, and Pang Yue, the chief military officer of Huguang, are loyal to the country, have outstanding military achievements, and are deeply comforted! Today, in order to show the clear law of rewards and punishments in our dynasty, and to encourage the officers and men of all armies to fight bravely to kill the enemy and make contributions to the country, he is specially promoted to the right capital governor Tongzhi, the hereditary brocade clothes guard thousands of households, awarded the Ronglu doctor, and the prince Shaobao, and still serves as the chief military officer of the town guarding Huguang, and is in charge of the Huguang Command and Envoy Division under the jurisdiction of the guards and the original battalions ......"
