Chapter 91: Pacification (I)

Updated: 20-02-0

When the coast guard sailors approached the south gate, Ban Xue and Wu Shimang were taking a company of brothers to collect the prisoners of the sailor battalion, as well as dozens of warships, large and small.

Shui Wuxian and the other two companies have entered Zhenhai and are taking over the control of the county office, the garrison office, the school palace and other places.

Ding Changgu was coerced by the defenders at the west gate and surrendered to the Ming army. As soon as Bai Baoxiang came ashore, he summoned him in the sailor camp.

Inside and outside the camp were all officers and soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms, except Bai Baoxiang, who wore a flat-winged black gauze hat, a cloud crane scarlet robe, and a jade belt around his waist.

This is a real Ming Yipin public uniform, not the costume of singing on the grass stage.

Ding Changgu read poetry and books, and his knowledge was not bad, and he could see at a glance that the clothes on Bai Baoxiang's body were extraordinary, which was no different from the records in the pile of old papers, and it was really the return of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Ding Changgu was still wearing the official robe of the Manchu Dynasty, the crown on his head had long been thrown away, and the braid on his head had also been reduced by the Ming army. His expression was a little bitter, and he stepped forward and shook it to the ground, "Descend to Ding Changgu to meet the Lord of the Prison State." ”

Bai Baoxiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Ding has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it is a family." ”

Ding Changgu looked submissive, Bai Baoxiang continued, "The Ming Dynasty returned from overseas, adhering to the mandate of heaven, crusading against the Tartars and restoring China. This attack on Zhenhai offended the people, and the three fires inevitably injured many innocents. I will appoint the Lord to temporarily serve as the Zhenhai Zhi County for a period of time to pacify the locality. ”

"Dare not obey!" Ding Changgu's face was very calm, and he said in his heart that he was only temporarily maintaining, and when the situation calmed down, he would naturally not be able to do it for long.

"We are going to return to Dinghai, and it can be said that within five years, eastern Zhejiang is not our goal now." Bai Baoxiang knew that Ding Changgu had misunderstood what he meant, so he explained slightly, "To seize the world, we must build a high wall and accumulate grain. And eastern Zhejiang, which is close to Jiangning and Shanghai, is bound to become a place where the Manchus, the Taiping Army, and the foreigners compete for strength, so we must get out of this land of right and wrong and find another way. ”

After listening to Bai Baoxiang's explanation, Ding Changgu was a little stunned, the Ming army actually wanted to retreat, instead of taking advantage of the victory to advance, where was the Ming army's path.

"Come, get to know me, this is our eastern Zhejiang pacification envoy Wu Shimang, you are controlled by him."

When he arrived in Dingchang Valley, he was a little stunned, and Bai Baoxiang directly called a company of instructors Wu Shimang, and asked Ding Zhixian to cooperate with Wu Shimang to pacify this place in eastern Zhejiang. Put up the recruitment list inside and outside the city, and according to the plan previously drawn, the materials in the official warehouse should be released to the people, distributed to the people, and transported back to Dinghai to the ship!

"Ding Zhixian, please!"

Wu Shimang was still pondering there, did the Ming army not want eastern Zhejiang, but only wanted to cut off Dinghai, or did he want to be a rogue? The pattern of Dinghai is too small, and there is no future for the Liukou, what should I do?

Wu Shimang's call made Ding Changgu startled.

That's it! He is a landless person, since he has become a thief, and the braid on his head has been cut off, returning to the Qing Dynasty is a dead end. Since there is no way to turn back, then you can only work hard for Daming sincerely!

Zhenhai County Cheng Fozhi is a banner clan, and when the Ming army came to the city, he was still in his own house.

As soon as I heard that all the soldiers defending the city had surrendered, and the Ming army had entered the city, the slaves and miscellaneous servants in the Fozhi Mansion were all panicked, and they must know that the master they were waiting for was a full man.

"Run, the Ming army wants to avenge Lord Chongzhen, and there will be no chickens and dogs left in the Manchurian Mansion."

When it came to running, all the chickens, ducks and geese in the house ran away, leaving only Fozhi and his wife and concubine.

Fu Zhi found a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and was also ready to learn from Chongzhen to kill his wife and concubine first, and then cut it off himself.

But when the two beautiful ~ mothers hugged each other and cried like a tearful person. The Buddha's heart softened, and he really couldn't do it. Turning his head to kill himself, he gently slashed his neck with a knife, it hurts, right?!

As soon as the hand was weak, there was a clang, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

Just as he wanted to pick up the knife again, the Ming army, under the leadership of the Belt ~Road~ Party, rushed into his mansion.

Fozhi and his wife and concubine were locked in the house, and the two beautiful ~ mothers grabbed his arm one by one and wept, which made him upset.

"What are you crying about, Liu Guanzhang doesn't want to be born in the same year and month but wants to die in the same year and month, let's die together, that's also a good thing!"

When Buddha Zhi lost his temper, the two women shrank into the corner.

At this time, there was a "bang" and the door opened.

Two warriors came in from outside, "Lord Xiancheng, please!" ”

Hearing the word please, Buddha Zhi sighed, "I'm not going!" He hid in a corner and hugged the two women.

"It's a good thing, it's not a bad thing!"

The soldier said so badly that he pulled Fozhi out and escorted him to the direction of Zhenhainan City.

Along the way, I saw two or three soldiers dressed in colorful clothes at every street corner, bridgehead, and crossroads, all holding muskets in their hands; The panic of the people in Zhenhai has not yet dissipated, and the doors and windows of every house are still closed; The officials of the county struck gongs along the streets and read out notices to the people.

Buddha Zhi was escorted through, and these servants completely ignored him, and he was a little indignant.

He had a stalk on his neck, "Zhang Ergou!" You come here. ”

"Master County!" The messenger who was called Zhang Ergou stopped preaching, and stood there without moving, his face a little scornful.

"Whew! I usually go to the master, nodding my head, but today I cut my braids, so I pretended not to know the master?! ”

"Be honest with me!" The two soldiers escorted were a little funny, and they snapped on Fozhi's head and pulled Fozhi away.

Buddha Zhi was brought into the Wumiao in Zhenhainan City, which had been occupied by the Ming army.

In the open space in front of the platform of the main hall of the Wumiao, there were many chairs and benches, and they were almost full of people.

Zhenhai City and others who have entered the school have a bit of a literary name; opened a shop, a little wealthy, one by one all were recruited to the martial temple, the squires and Tong Shengxiu were not left behind, and many of them were forcibly invited by soldiers dressed in camouflage.

Hundreds of people sat on chairs and benches, all with their heads shrunk, and their hearts were very worried, not knowing good fortune and misfortune, and the whole open space was filled with dazed, prostration, and hesitation.

Ding Changgu stood on the platform, and when he was brought in by Fozhi, he smiled and beckoned, pointing to a chair at the front, "Brother Fozhi, there is still an empty seat here." ”

Buddha Zhi walked to the front, his voice astringent, "It turns out that the county lord has already come from~~~"

Halfway through speaking, Buddha Zhi couldn't go on, and he went to the braids on the heads of Tang Yide, Zhou Baochen, Zhao Zuji, and Tang Tinggui, Zhuang Hao, Wei Jingheng, and others, who were sitting next to him, and his voice suddenly fell low, muffled in his throat.

When all the personnel arrived, Ding Changgu solemnly invited Wu Shimang.

Wu Shimang was still dressed in camouflage clothes, and he arched his hand to everyone in the audience, "You local sages, I am not talented, and I am the pacification envoy of the Ming Dynasty and eastern Zhejiang." I arrived in Zhenhai at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty today, marching and fighting, it is inevitable to harass the place, there is something inappropriate, and I hope that everyone will be in Haihan. ”

Everyone said they didn't dare.

Wu Shimang continued: "The Manchu Tatars were originally a barbarian tribe outside the Saiwai, which was neither the virtue of the order, nor the merit of China. The Tartars could not resist insults outside, and could not reassure the people inside, and the land of China suffered a lot. Today, I am the master of the Ming Dynasty, returning from overseas, hanging the people and cutting down crimes, vowing to exterminate the Tartars and restore China~"

As soon as Wu Shimang said this, someone below shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

The raging fire on the mountain outside the city reflected Buddha Zhi's face, and he stood up from his seat, "I am a Manchurian, you are the remnants of King Lu of the Ming Dynasty, and we are inseparable." Hurry up and give the master a crisp, if the master snorts, he is not a hero. ”

Buddha Zhi heard that Wu Shimang kept counting the Qing Tartars, and the temper of the two poles of the banner man came up all of a sudden, anyway, he was going to be beheaded Liwei, and Hengzhi was a death, rather than being frightened, it was better to get rid of it early.

Immediately, two warriors pressed the Buddha Zhi and blocked their mouths.

The venue was suddenly a little chaotic, and Ding Changgu hurriedly shouted: "Silence! Quiet! ”

Wu Shimang pointed at Buddha Zhi and said: "If you want to die, you will end up first." ”

A stretcher was brought in from outside the venue, covered with a white cloth.

The venue immediately fell silent, and people's eyes were fixed on the stretcher.

The stretcher was carried to the front and placed at the feet of Buddha Zhi, and as soon as the white cloth was lifted, a charred human figure came into view of Buddha Zhi.

The people around screamed, "Bu Xingyou!" ”

"It's Bu Xingyou!"

"Bu Xingyou is finally dead!"

"Buxing has you, do you have today!"

Bu Xingyou led the Guangdong pirates to plunder merchant ships, extort shops, plunder people, lynch and ransom along the coast of eastern Zhejiang, and did countless crimes. The local people all gritted their teeth at this, but they only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

When Buxing ended up like this, everyone in the venue was happy and happy, and they also had a deep understanding of the strength of the Ming army.

That's right, it's Bu Xingyou, to this face that has not been completely burned, Buddha Zhi can still vaguely distinguish that this is Bu Xingyou. Bu Xingyou, who used to talk with himself, has now become a pile of coke, and Buddha Zhi was frightened, and the pride just now had already reached the clouds, and his legs trembled.

"Da Ming will not be benevolent to women, and the three fires outside the city can testify to our determination to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty." Wu Shimang waved his hand and let the stretcher be carried away.

The fire on Zhaobao Mountain is still burning, and sitting in this venue, everyone can feel the crackling sound of the flames rolling the grass and trees.

When the venue was quiet, Wu Shimang continued: "The three massacres in Jiading, the ten days in Yangzhou, and the ten thousand people in Dinghai belong to one domain, these are the blood and tears of our Han people. But we are not grass thieves, we are the Ming Dynasty, pay attention to 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith', and will not kill people indiscriminately.

We are against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and we do not necessarily have to exterminate all the Manchurians. Among the Han people, there are scum such as Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, and Wu Sangui, and there are also heroes and heroes who have contributed to China among the Manchus. More than 10 years ago, he resisted the invasion of the British and Yi people, supervised the battle of Zhenhai, exhausted his blood and sincerity, and martyred the country, and the deputy capital of Zhenjiang, Hailing, who bravely resisted the British and sacrificed his life for the country, these are all heroes among the Manchurians, and my Ming Dynasty also greatly appreciates these heroes.

Confucius has clouds, and if you enter Yi, you will be Yi, and if you enter Xia, you will be Xia. The Ming Dynasty did not hate the Manchus, as long as they were willing to join Huaxia Zhengsu, the court regarded them as people. ”

Hearing this, the venue, which had just been a little calm, suddenly chattered.

Wu Shimang raised his voice, "But you roared in public and disturbed the venue, and your sin is unforgivable." Then Lord Ben will cut off your braids as a punishment. ”

The warrior cut off Fozhi's braids, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Fozhi immediately sat down on the chair.

Wu Shimang also ignored the communication of the people below, "You give me a good seat down now, I really want to die, there are two ways, one is to continue to harass the venue, and Lord Ben will fulfill you; The second is to wait until you go back, and then wipe your neck yourself. ”

When Fozhi's face was red and white for a while, many people at the meeting burst into laughter.
