Chapter 272: Traitor, Behead!
"After you get out of this gate, you are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty!" As soon as Ren Siqi's voice fell, all the gentry were shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huo Ran, the head of the Zhang family, turned his head: "This lord, whether you are the enemy of the Ming Dynasty or not, I'm afraid you can't have the final say, right?" The old man is fifty-seven this year, and he has been the lord of Weihui County and the county governor of Zhangzhou. Isn't it a joke that you say that I am the enemy of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"How?" Ren Siqi looked at him with a smile: "What you said can only show that you have received the favor of the Ming Dynasty." Your fame was given by the imperial court, you have served as an official of the Ming Dynasty, you have eaten the court's money, and now you are also enjoying the benefits brought to you by fame. But what did you do? What did you do when the Shun army captured Jiaozhou? When Ke Yongsheng lifted the city to clear the city, did you cheer and follow him? ”
"The imperial court is not thin on you, but you are waiting, first descend to Shun and then to Qing! Now I am leading the imperial army to recover Jiaozhou, you don't say that you will welcome each other with food, and you dare to make a big statement in front of me, who gave you the courage! ”
Ren Siqi's words smashed into the hearts of the gentry like a heavy hammer, and they turned pale and panicked one by one. Could it be that this young guerrilla general wanted to attack them?
For a long time, these gentry have been the heavens of Jiaozhou, and even Zhizhou has to befriend them when he takes office in Jiaozhou, and those low-status warriors are not in their eyes. But as soon as Ren Siqi became angry, they realized that there was no need to go in the past now. If Ren Siqi really cuts them out, they will be helpless!
"General, you have been wronged!" A gentry shouted again and again, "Ke Yongsheng's surrender has nothing to do with us." ”
"Yes, we are all mind-to-heart, and we didn't make trouble!"
The gentry shouted one after another, shouting that they were wronged. Even Zhang Shishen didn't dare to make a big fuss, but honestly returned to his seat.
"Really? When Ke Yongsheng recruited soldiers, where did his food and salary come from? It's not up to you yet. Ren Siqi raised the ledger in his hand, and after attacking the state government, all the ledgers fell into his hands.
"This ......" the gentry were speechless for a moment.
"General, Ke Yongsheng raised troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the palms of his hands were heavy, we didn't dare to disobey." It was the gentry surnamed Zhang who replied.
"yes, yes, we're all forced!" The crowd joined in.
"Well, I'll trust you. However, now that our army has newly returned to Jiaozhou, there is a shortage of food and salary, and we also need everyone's support. Since you claim to be loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty, are you willing to serve the imperial court's recovery of Shandong? Ren Siqi looked at them coldly.
"I'm ......" The gentry looked at each other and remained silent. Although I knew that I couldn't escape this knife when I came, but it really made them bleed, but they couldn't bear it one by one.
"I, I am willing to give one hundred taels of silver and twenty stones of grain!" A gentry gritted his teeth, took the lead in standing up, and said to Ren Siqi.
One hundred taels of silver, twenty stones of grain, what a big deal! Ren Siqi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, these greedy gentry are really stingy, it seems that they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin.
"I offer fifty taels of silver and eight stones of grain."
"I am willing to sponsor the general five hundred taels of silver and fifty stones of grain." The other gentry followed suit, crying out in pain the amount they had donated.
In this way, you can get a few hundred stones of grain and thousands of taels of silver, but this is too different from Ren Siqi's expectations.
"Everyone, don't worry. I'll show you the show first. Ren Siqi called the guard Xiong Er beside him, and gave a few words in his ear, and Xiong Er walked out with a cruel smile.
"Everyone, please come with me!" Ren Siqi said, taking the lead and walking outside. He walked through the corridor to the front office, and stood on the stairs of the state office, and the other gentry stood to his left and right.
The gong sounded, and the people near the yamen were attracted one after another.
The Daishan army has strict discipline and has not harassed the people, and the people of Jiaozhou have a good impression of them, and they are not very afraid of these soldiers from the south.
Soon, the streets outside the yamen were full of people watching the excitement, and they stood in a big circle around the state ya.
"Let's go, let's go!" A group of soldiers of the Daishan Army came from the street, passed through the people, and came to the state office.
Two soldiers in a group, escorting a prisoner. A total of more than 10 prisoners were escorted.
"Isn't that Mr. Ke and Wang Zhizhou?" The people who watched the excitement began to talk one after another.
Among the prisoners escorted, the first two were Wang Wenli, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Ke Yongsheng, the chief soldier of Jiaozhou, and behind him were the officials of the state government and important officers in the Jiaozhou army.
After the fall of Beijing, Wang Wenli first took the initiative to surrender to Shun, and became the Tongzhi of Jiaozhou, and then joined Ke Yongsheng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and became the Jiaozhou Governor of the Qing Court.
Wang Wenli received the grace of the Ming Dynasty, and did not want to serve the court, but instead surrendered to the enemy and caused chaos, which was intolerable to heaven.
Ren Siqi, a guerrilla general in Lower Zhejiang, was ordered by the governor of Denglai, Lord Zeng, to temporarily take care of the affairs of the two prefectures in Denglai. Wang Wenli rebelled and rebelled, treason and surrendered to the enemy, and the heavens could not tolerate it, so he was sentenced to a decisive sentence and executed immediately! ”
Ren Siqi stood on the stone steps, facing the onlookers, and announced the verdict of Wang Wenli sonorously. With his words, two soldiers of the Daishan Army pressed Wang Wenli to the ground, and one soldier brandished a sharp long knife, and with a swing of the knife, Wang Wenli's head fell to the ground, and blood spurted out more than a foot high from the broken neck.
Seeing that Ren Siqi said that he would kill Wang Wenli of Zhizhou, the gentry standing on both sides of him were trembling and could hardly stand.
"Zha rebel Ke Yongsheng, a gentry of Jiaozhou, served in the imperial court in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli......
Ke Yongsheng did not want to serve the imperial court, but instead supported the army, surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and wantonly slaughtered our Ming soldiers. sentenced Ke Yongsheng to be beheaded, confiscated his family property, and exterminated the whole family! ”
A huge guillotine was moved out of the yamen, and Ke Yongsheng struggled and was stuffed under the guillotine.
"The surname Ren, you behead me today, he will be full of soldiers on Sunday, see what you can do!" Ke Yongsheng struggled and scolded Ren Siqi.
The former general Wang Bald, who had already joined the Daishan Army, smiled fiercely, kicked Ke Yongsheng in the mouth, and kicked his words back into his stomach.
Ke Yongsheng twisted his head and glared at Wang Bald with hatred, if his eyes could kill, Wang Bald would have been cut by him with a thousand knives.
"Let's go!" Wang Bald fiercely pressed down the handle of the guillotine, and the sharp guillotine cut into Ke Yongsheng's chest, cutting him into two.
Ke Yongsheng screamed fiercely, and his broken body rolled on the ground in pain.
The onlookers on both sides did not dare to look any further, and turned their heads one after another.
With a "poof", a gentleman's feet went limp, and he fainted on the stone steps. (To be continued.) )
