Chapter 24: The Southern Thousands of Miles Are Destroyed (5)
[The time of the holiday is always involuntarily, and it has dragged on until now, and there is really no way. 】
The governor of Qinzhou was originally a joke, but after Han Gang's refutation, his face suddenly turned red.
Han Gang didn't fail to see that he was joking, he just took other people's miserable situation as a joke and said, it doesn't matter if it's an enemy and a thief, it's okay to clap your hands and say it's fast, Han Gang has no pretentiousness like 'human nature and morality', but if it is put on the people under his rule, where can people laugh.
He also has an identity as a transit envoy in Guangxi. Cao Si, who is in charge of supervising the political affairs of the states in Luzhong, is half of the top boss of the governor of Qinzhou, and if he picks out a mistake at will, a report can make him lose his official position, and he normally does not dare to be tough in front of Han Gang.
However, the governor of Qinzhou did not give in, and did not bow his head to admit his mistake as he imagined, but asked with a stiff neck: "The lower official has something unclear, dare to ask Long Xue and Zhang Duanming to lead the southern expedition, what is the reason?" ”
The governor of Qinzhou retorted with a strong mouth, Han Gang was slightly stunned, and then suddenly suddenly, "When the thieves entered the Kou, what did the Tan people do in Qinzhou?" ”
"It's nothing...... Qinzhou Zhizhou has a straight face, but his expression is definitely not saying nothing, "It's just a fire robbery!" ”
Robbery by fire when Cochine is in the Kou...... This crime is not wronged even by the whole family.
It's no surprise to think about it. Among the Tan people, except for a few leaders who can be regarded as rich, the vast majority of them are poor, seeing that the city of Qinzhou is broken, and there is no restraint from the government and the official army, it is strange not to take the opportunity to grab a vote. And in the process, their hands are inevitably stained with blood.
Chen Yongling, the governor of Qinzhou, who is about the age of Han Gang's father and is qualified, hardened his temper and resisted the young and ambitious transfer envoy. The state officials behind him all pinched a cold sweat for him.
Han Gang's talents in both civil and military affairs are famous all over the world, and he is also at the forefront of the courtiers. But such young people are often sharp-edged and rarely tolerate the offense of others. Chen Yongling made him lose his face in front of many people, just in case
Li Xian, who was left behind, moved on his toes, wanting to stand up and ease the atmosphere, but seeing that Zhang Dian in front of him didn't move, he hesitated for a moment and froze.
However, unlike everyone's speculation, Han Gang simply bowed to Chen Yongling and apologized: "Han Gang doesn't know the reason for this, and he is offended, and I hope that Chen Junshou will not be blamed." ”
Chen Yongling didn't expect Han Gang to be like this, so he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and replied: "Don't dare, what the official said is inappropriate, and the envoy blames it!" ”
Han Gang didn't think it was a big deal to admit his mistake, and his self-esteem and status were not so fragile, but Chen Yongling was obviously a little moved. While the rest of the officials breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes also changed a little.
"Alright." Zhang Dian interjected and came in, with a little smile on his face, Han Gang's performance was not as he expected, "Yu Kunren loves the people, there is nothing wrong with it, but I just don't know the inside story." Some prisoners don't deserve sympathy! ”
"That's right." Han Gang sighed.
Chen Yongling led the way diligently in front, and Zhang Dian and Han Gang walked side by side, casually asking: "Since you know what the Tan people did before, what are you going to do with Yukun?" ”
"Of course, the crimes of the Tan people have been settled, but the current situation is impossible to investigate." Han Gang had heard a lot of rumors, and he didn't expect them to hand over the sinners who had participated in the plunder, "It's impossible to do the same thing as dealing with Jiaozhi, whether he is guilty or not, and cut things together." ”
"Whoever made them the people of China." Zhang Dian shook his head.
Killing traitors and aliens is not the same thing as killing the people of the country. The current situation is that the punishment is not responsible, and it can only be put or pushed on the cochins.
"It's better to be able to make it into a household, not to mention that there are more household registrations in the state and county, leave your name in the register, and don't want to escape if you commit a crime in the future."
"The Tan people have lived on ships for generations, and the only way to organize them is to relocate them to land." Zhang Dian turned his face sideways and looked out at the blue sea as far as the eye could see, "But are they used to coming?" ”
Although Han Gang's idea has a strong utilitarian component, it is good enough for both the imperial court and the Tan people themselves.
But what Zhang Dian said is not wrong.
Although not many people consider them alien, the Tan people who live on the water wear vertebrae and short clothes, and their clothing is completely different from that of the Han Chinese.
And generations have lived on the water, even if they are recruited to live on land, they may not be able to get used to it. Farming is a science, and after a lifetime of fishing, and suddenly given, who can get started quickly?
It's just that Han Gang is so poor at the moment, and since he has a suitable goal, he can't let it go easily.
In an era when the industrial system is still in the sky, manpower is everything. Therefore, the most important task of the Siyi attack on China was to plunder the population, so that the Han people, who were good at agriculture and labor, could make cattle and horses for them, and create a steady stream of wealth.
Hundreds of thousands of Tan people live on the water, do not even have a household registration, and their birth, old age, sickness and death are all in the hands of outsiders.
"But it is necessary to prevent chaos in the future, but there is no need to rush for a while, there are thousands of Tan people along the coast of Qinzhou, and without a proper strategy, rash action will definitely cause chaos."
Han Gang had time and patience, so he waited for a while. Wait until the errand of the Annan Economic Strategy Recruitment Department is handed over, and deal with the matter as a transfer envoy from Guangxi.
At present, it is necessary to rush back to Yongzhou as soon as possible and give the most final explanation of the war in Jiaozhou in the south.
……………………
On the stone wall, which is eight or nine feet high, is a small window that is only one foot square. The window is divided equally by three wrist-thick sticks, leaving only a narrow slit. It is not easy to shake the thick wooden fence, and it is not possible for people to escape from such a window.
Inside the window is a one-zhang room, with three walls made of earth and stone, and the opposite side of the window is made entirely of wooden grilles. There was only straw and a thin blanket in the room, and the bucket was placed in the corner of the room, unobstructed and undisguised.
This is the prison in Yongzhou. Since they were escorted to Yongzhou by the Song people from the country, they were all sent to prison for the Jiaozhi generals who had attacked the city of Yongzhou.
Lying in the straw pile on the ground, there was a damp musty smell everywhere, Zong Jian really didn't know what the Song people thought and what they planned to do with themselves, but their fate was in the hands of the Song people.
In prison, they were at least able to fill their bellies and were not abused. This made the captives have a bit of luck, but Zong Jian didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes.
When he was escorted to Yongzhou from Shenglong Mansion, Han Gang, who was on the side, was the staggeringly young official who would destroy the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and his eyes were full of indifference. And the same look appeared on every jailer who guarded them.
"It's back!" I don't know how many days later, from the window of the cell, there was a sudden commotion, "The minister and the transfer minister are back!" ”
Has it finally arrived? Zong Jian tightened his heart, even if he was prepared for the worst, but at the end, he still found that his heart was full of panic.
I don't know what kind of ending I am about to face.
Only one to die!
There is no need for a trial for a group of convicts. The decree sent back has finalized the punishment they will receive.
So far, there is only one sacrifice in front of the Loyal and Brave Ancestral Hall, Xu Baixiang. This number is too far from the sins committed by the Jiaozhi people in Yongzhou, and it is far from being able to offset the hatred they caused.
Just surrender and want to avoid death, how can there be such a good thing in this world? The only grace given in the Divine Decree was the demotion from Ling Chi to beheading, which was regarded as a reward for their timely surrender.
Dedicated to Su Mian and a group of Yongzhou officials who died on the festival of death, as well as the loyal and brave shrine of tens of thousands of people, on this day, gathered all the people of the Great Song Dynasty living in the city of Yongzhou. They are all survivors of the catastrophe, and they escaped with their lives in the catastrophe more than a year ago, but each of them has relatives and friends who died in the fire, and it is still difficult to sleep when they think of that catastrophe. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers avenged them and captured the enemy.
The fangs do not know the way of loyalty and filial piety, but they have the heart of the deer. Although Yun Song Chen, the tribute is not repaired. The imperial court has not been rewarded, and the army has invaded China. The people of the three states do not survive one in ten. The court treats you very well, and you treat the court very thinly. His sins are unforgivable, and they should be punished according to the law. But if you think of his surrender, his sentence should be reduced by one degree. In order to cut it, we will never wait for the time.
Zhang Dan, Han Gang and others were in prison, and Su Ziyuan, Su Xuan's son, stood in front of the temple, read the verdict, and read the names of the prisoners who should be beheaded.
Each time a name was read, two soldiers would drag one of them to the makeshift execution platform. Unplug the wooden tag stuck in the back of your neck and press it down to the decapitation table.
The sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami, shouted by tens of thousands of angry and grieving people at the same time, making it difficult for the sinners in the audience to stand firm.
The beheading knife in the hand of the nephew was waved down one after another, raising the heads one by one, and then sent to the Loyal and Brave Shrine to be enshrined in front of the shrine.
The number of prisoners waiting to be executed in the audience gradually decreased, and more and more heads were sent to the Loyal and Brave Shrine for enshrinement, until the last one was the last.
Zong Jian didn't let people drag him, he walked up to the execution platform on his own, and looked back, countless eyes full of anger were staring at him. sighed gloomily, if the king is defeated or defeated, there should also be this retribution, and he will be killed.
After Zong Yan, the last person to come on the field was not a living person, it was as black as air-dried bacon, and when you got close, you could still smell a disgusting stench.
But the appearance of the dried corpse has triggered the biggest noise since the execution. This is Li Changjie's body, which has been preserved until now.
The executioner raised his knife and let the culprit take the head. The withered head was hung high, and right under the stage, how many people burned the paper on the spot, calling for the souls of the dead.
"Even if you die, you will have to walk on the execution table." Zhang Dian said sharply, "Dare to offend China, and never let one go!" ”
"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!" Han Gang then said.
