The security army killed Wang Jing cleanly, and the crime of killing him was corruption and perversion of the law, and he was not even given a chance to sacrifice his life for the country. It is not clear what the Ming court will say about Wang Jing's death in the end, but the people of Wenshui County all recognize that Wang Jing is corrupt and perverted the law and is used to correct the national law, although it is a bit strange for the thieves to correct the national law, but this does not prevent this from being a happy thing.

At the same time, the people also knew about a new official position, the procurator, and some literati explained that the procurator would report and inspect the officials as soon as possible. If the officials make a mistake, of course, they will have to investigate it.

The people can't control so much, as long as someone can speak for them, they are good officials. I sincerely hope that the prosecutors will not leave immediately, although Wang Jing was killed, there are other corrupt officials, local tyrants and shoddy gentry who have not been liquidated.

The security army court did not leave Wenshui County immediately, but actually stationed to receive complaints and complaints from the people, and a group of former officials and gentry who committed the most heinous crimes were accused by the people and put on trial, and the result of the verdict was beheading and confiscation of family property. The rich people in the entire Wenshui County are also in danger, for fear of being sued by the enemy to the security court and making the family ruined. Security though

After sentencing several of the most heinous gentry to death, the court did not impose harsh sentences on others. The rich people calmed down and asked themselves how many times the gentry who had been sentenced to death had done enough to die. Gradually, the people of Wenshui County returned to normal life, but the leader changed from the government to the security army.

A few days after Wang Jing was executed, Wenshui County had settled down. Leaving part of the army to garrison Wenshui County, Yang Biao continued to march in the direction of Taiyuan with a large group of security troops.

Soon, the two counties of Jiaocheng and Qingxu were connected, and the army approached Taiyuan.

Everywhere they went, the security forces followed the old practice of Wenshui County, arresting Ming officials and then putting them on public trial. This made the surrounding Ming Dynasty gentry even more afraid, it is better to be directly killed by the security army than to be tried by the public, not only will they lose their lives after the public trial, but even their reputation will be ruined.

The news of the invasion of the security army also reached Taiyuan, and judging from the marching route of the security army, the target of this operation was undoubtedly Taiyuan.

The city of Taiyuan suddenly became nervous, especially in the Ming Dynasty officials in Taiyuan, whether it was a civil servant or a military general, they all felt that a catastrophe was coming.

In fact, it is understandable that the people are panicking, and there is no need for the military generals to panic. It is almost impossible for the thieves to break through Taiyuan City.

As the head of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty, Taiyuan City is very prominent. Taiyuan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Fen River, the second largest tributary of the Yellow River, flows from north to south in the middle, Taiyuan City is based on the danger of mountains and rivers, and has built a tall and solid city wall, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack. Don't be afraid of thieves at all.

But there is a special feature in Taiyuan that makes the officials have to be nervous, Taiyuan lives two vassal kings, King Jin and Dai Wang. There are also many county kings such as the King of Xihe, and the royal family is as many as tens of thousands. These tens of thousands of people are the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It can't be damaged either.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a man with ideas, and he carried out many institutional innovations after unifying the world, with the aim of changing the maladministration of the previous dynasty, and dividing the feudal kings was also one of them.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's assumption, the descendants of the Zhu family were divided into various places to become vassal kings, once there was something in the world, blood must be thicker than water, and the feudal kings with blood ties would unite to defend the Zhu dynasty.

What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that not long after he died, his son Zhu Di came to Nanjing with an army, but he didn't come to King Qin, but to rob Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson Zhu Yunwen. And it was robbed, and Zhu Yunwen died without seeing his body. Zhu Di became the emperor, and the system of dividing the feudal kings did not change, but the nature changed, not only could the feudal kings not have an army, but also could not leave the fiefdom casually, and the interaction with the officials of the fiefdom was restricted. Zhu Di didn't want the vassal king to rob him or his descendants like him.

After that, the feudal kings were given large fiefs, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were raised like pigs in the fiefs.

For hundreds of years, the vassal kings had become accustomed to living like pigs. They are constantly looting for wealth and making a fortune in their fiefdoms. As long as they don't rebel, no one can afford to mess with them. The life of the vassal king is like a pig, and he also has the same habits as a pig, that is, he constantly reproduces, marries a large number of daughters-in-law, and gives birth to a large number of sons. For example, the King of Jin in Shanxi had hundreds of sons, and he couldn't recognize them all. The sons didn't know each other either, and they introduced each other to each other at family gatherings.

This is actually a problem of the system, and the vassal king's desperate desire to have a son is driven by interests. The birth of each son will be rewarded by the court, and it is of course necessary to work hard to have children in the face of the real gold and silver feudal king, and this is also a good sport.

The entire imperial family of the Ming Dynasty was in this state, from the first family to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it had become a group of millions of people. These millions of people had to be supported by the state finances, which caused a huge burden on the country, which was also a reason why the Ming Dynasty eventually came to an end.

Now the vassal king in Taiyuan City, the King of Jin died last year, and the new King of Jin has not yet come down. The most powerful is the acting king Zhu Legend.

Although Zhu Legend was imprisoned in the fiefdom, he still knew that now that the world was in chaos, thieves were everywhere, and it was not easy to live a stable life. The news that the security army was marching towards Taiyuan also reached Zhu Legend's ears.

Of course, Zhu Legend was very nervous about things that threatened his life.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, led his troops to the south to pursue the thieves, and Zhu Legend had no choice but to command Yang Guohua, the supreme commander of the army in Taiyuan, to find his own mansion.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many rules were abolished, and the control of the interaction between the vassal king and the generals with troops was no longer so strict, and Yang Guohua dared to go to the mansion of Zhu Legend, the acting king.

"The thieves are marching towards Taiyuan, you can arrange a strategy to retreat from the enemy." The king is most concerned about his own life and death, if he does not repel the thieves, his life will be in danger, and his property may be robbed.

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the walls of Taiyuan City are strong and the terrain is dangerous. More than 10,000 officers and soldiers are stationed in Taiyuan City, and when the time comes, they can also recruit young and strong people to form a village warrior to defend the city together. Taiyuan City is foolproof. "Yang Guohua is still very confident in holding Taiyuan.

"That's not good, you stick to Taiyuan City, won't my fields and farms outside the city be harmed by thieves, and who will be responsible for this loss."

"If the prince Chitose can come up with a part of the salary, I can recruit a large number of villagers to go out of the city to fight the thieves, and the prince's farm will be saved." Yang Guohua knew that Taiyuan City was the richest, and wanted to take this opportunity to extort some silver from the acting king.

"I don't have the silver here, you can find your own way to pay the food, and if you can't quickly send someone to notify the governor of the three sides, Lord Hong Chengchou, to withdraw from the army." Zhu Legend fully showed the true colors of Scrooge and rejected Yang Guohua's proposal. (To be continued.) )
