Chapter 492: When the Rebellion is in Progress
Tang Yi is a very face-saving person, to put it bluntly, he is a dead duck with a hard mouth. For example, the rebels outside are clamoring, he is very scared, but the enemy is strong and I am weak, and he has to point to the brothers around him to save his life, if he retreats and shows his cowardice, how can he command the big guys. Freeze to death at the windward station, starve to death and walk shyly, and you can't lose face if you live or die. With the support of the virus of the "Middle 2", Lord Tang bravely straightened his waist and led the guards to wait for him.
He felt that he was crazy enough, but the actions of those rebels made Tang Yi fall through his glasses.
actually knelt down for himself, what does it mean?
It shows that his name is not bad, and it shows that these people have not rebelled with iron heart!
Tang Yi suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity, and he had to seize it no matter what. In the next second, he shook off the guards and strode out of the main entrance, Tan Guang swept it away from the corner of his eye, and almost fell down.
My ancestors, what are you running out for, who knows if a cold arrow will suddenly shoot from the side?
Tan Guang was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he desperately gave Tang Yi a look. But I don't know what Tang Yi thinks in his head, he didn't step back or say anything, and strode to the front of the crowd, if it weren't for a few guards blocking with their arms, he would have been able to go directly to the front of the rebels.
Seemingly a little dissatisfied with the guard's actions, Tang Yi frowned slightly, but he still stopped, cleared his throat, and said to the kneeling rebels: "You all have to be even." ”
Hundreds of rebels present all set their eyes on Tang Yi, from the beginning of the rebellion, the six departments have closed the yamen to death, the military army is the governor's mansion, and the major nobles and military ministers don't know where to hide. Tang Yi is the first high-ranking official who dares to stand up to the big guy.
Especially the Dou Yu case just past, these rebels were grateful to Tang Yi, and they were at a loss one by one, not knowing what to do.
Tang Yi's gaze swept over. Some of the rebels unconsciously lowered their heads, unable to explain the reason, but they were panicked.
"Do you all know what you're doing?"
One question, all the rebels were stunned.
Without waiting for them to react, Tang Yi preemptively said: "The army mutinied and attacked the official office." It's a capital crime, what is Nanjing? The six capitals of the Ming Dynasty, second only to the location of the Jingshi, make trouble here, and the crime will be added to the first, aren't you afraid of being cut off? First suppressed everyone with big words, Tang Yi immediately changed his tone again, and sighed: "Most of your Zhenwu Camp are the children of the people of Yingtian, and their family members are nearby. You are happy to make trouble for a while, but what should you do if the court investigates it? How many men and horses are there in the Zhenwu battalion, and there are three or four hundred thousand elites under Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast, and tens of thousands of troops can rush to Nanjing with an order, can you resist it? ”
Needless to ask, more rebels bowed their heads. But there are a few who are bold. sneered: "Lord Tang, the little ones know that you are still a good official. I'll let you go for now! You don't have to move an inch, what can you do when the army comes? The head has a scar the size of a bowl, and the court doesn't give us a way to live, so we will fight! ”
"Yes, fight!"
"We're all fighting!"
……
"Nonsense!"
Tang Yi shook the spring thunder with his tongue and shouted: "Which of you was not raised by your parents. A handful of and a handful of urine, pulling you so big, just to get a knife in the neck? Just trying to be happy for a while, are you really happy? Suddenly, Tang Yi pointed at the young rebel.
"Tell me for yourself. Burning and looting everywhere, but your companions are bullying your wife? Are you happy? ”
Thump!
The rebel fell to his knees again, threw the knife in his hand on the ground, and wept bitterly, like a wounded beast, and let out a terrible howl, and the other rebels shuddered when they heard it.
No one knows if their family and friends will be suffering while they are looting everywhere.
As soon as I thought of this, everyone's hearts were on fire, anxious and uncomfortable. With the exception of a few diehards, most of the soldiers regretted it. I want to pump my two mouths, why is my head so hot, so confused! On the spur of the moment, it made a big mistake, but how did it end!
It was difficult to ride a tiger, and it was they who were talking about it, and they saw that the rebels' faces showed a tangled look. Tang Yi knew that they had been shaken, and he had to hurry up and pursue them.
"Brethren, the officer knew that you had heard that the military pay would be lowered, so he was angry and ignored it. It is really not easy for you to kill the enemy desperately and exchange your head for a little food. This official is very clear, and I promise you that the food and salary will definitely not be less, and the life of the big guy will get better and better. ”
As soon as these words came out, the rebels present all showed happy looks, and they didn't think about what to do, if they could keep their food, they would be content.
A guy in his early thirties with a full beard jumped out and said disdainfully: "Dog officer, don't deceive us with rhetoric!" To tell you the truth, the dog thief named Huang Maoguan has been killed by us, and killing the official is like a rebellion, and there is no turning back for a long time! ”
Yes!
Tang Yi was shocked, mutinies in the army occur from time to time, as long as they do not make a big fuss, most of them have room for maneuver, but there is one situation, which is absolutely unbearable, that is, the killing of officials, especially high-ranking civilian officials, is tantamount to challenging the entire bureaucratic system.
Looking at the several mutinies in the nine sides, as long as a high-ranking official dies, the matter cannot be suppressed, and no matter what, the imperial court must severely punish it. The rebels can't escape, and the officials involved will also be unlucky.
Zhang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Xu Pengju of the garrison, and even the death of the eunuch He Xuan, these three giants will be in trouble, and as for themselves, they may also be punished.
Seeing that Tang Yi was silent, the bearded man laughed proudly: "Brothers, it's all a dead end anyway, what are you afraid of, follow me to kill!" ”
Seeing that the rebels were about to get out of control again, Tang Yi was really anxious. Once these people lose their minds, the damage they cause is unimaginable, and it is a catastrophe.
"Listen to me, everybody!" Tang Yi shouted with all his might: "Brothers, this official is a Qincha, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, this official can forgive the sins of the big guy!" ”
Nothing else is useless, and at this time you can only pull on Jiajing's skin.
Not to mention, the fear and worship of the emperor almost penetrated deep into the bone marrow, as soon as they heard that they could be pardoned, the rebels quieted down again, and the eyes that looked at Tang Yi changed, and they were full of hopeful light.
Tang Yi settled down, let people take out the holy decree, he held it in his hand, held it high above his head, at this moment, he seemed to be possessed by a god, with supreme authority, the aura around his body was shining, and many rebels knelt down unconsciously.
One after another, in the end, only the bearded man remained, he only felt a powerful pressure surging towards him, his companions around him knelt down, and no one helped him to share it, and in the end, cold sweat soaked his back, and he could only weaken his knees and kneel heavily on the ground.
Tang Yi also let out a long breath, to put it bluntly, he was also bluffing, the holy decree was right, but it was the holy decree that asked him to pay tribute to the god of the sea, and it had nothing to do with the rebellion, these rebels had too little to do with the book, and they were coaxed by Tang Yi.
"Listen, big guys, as soldiers, it is your natural mission to protect your home and defend the country, but instead you gather people to rebel, burn, kill and loot, and your crime cannot be punished. However, there is a reason for the incident, and God has the virtue of a good life, and the official can be extrajudicial and give you a chance to atone for your sins. ”
Tang Yi paused, raised his octave again, and said: "You immediately turn the spearhead and calm the chaos in the city for your own official, and if you can persuade a rebel to change his ways, this official will forgive a person's sins; If you encounter a person who kills the people, robs property, or does many evils, killing him is equivalent to killing a widow, and a reward of thirty taels of silver will be given! ”
Ooh!
The rebels present were all stunned, people are so strange, if Tang Yi directly said that he would pardon them, he would definitely not believe it, but when he said this, he made the big guy see hope.
Tang Yi hurriedly called Tan Guang over, "You take a hundred men and horses, lead them to the city to quell the chaos, and tell them that whoever passes by any yamen, as well as big households, will write a letter of impeachment, saying that they are colluding with the rebels!" ”
After the order, he called Sun Keyuan over.
"If you go to the Wei Mansion again, let Xu Pengju take out 200,000 taels of silver, and you will tell him that if you have less money, the official will let him lose his official position and dismiss him!"
Tang Yi didn't know Xu Pengju's ugly state yet, but there was such a big mess, thinking with his toes, Xu Pengju didn't even want to stay out of the matter, it was impossible not to bleed.
Sun Keyuan nodded hurriedly and rushed to the Wei Mansion with twenty guards.
On this side, Tan Guang took the lead, and Tang Yi was not at ease, so he personally pressed the rear team, and his personal guards were scattered, interspersed among the rebels who had just surrendered, to prevent them from changing their minds again.
After walking a short distance, they encountered a small group of rebels, "Shout quickly, let them surrender." ”
The rebels who surrendered shouted in unison: "Brothers, surrender quickly, don't be stupid, Lord Qincha said, as long as you surrender, you will have a way to live......
Not to mention, as soon as they shouted, the effect was really good, and it was also the dozens of rebels who saw that they were outnumbered and joined in in a daze.
Within a mile, three groups of rebels surrendered, and Tang Yi had more than a thousand men and horses.
At this time, Tang Yi's courage was also strong, and he happened to walk through the county government of Shangyuan County, and like the capital, Nanjing was also divided into two counties, namely Shangyuan and Jiangning. When passing by, the gate of the county yamen was closed, Tang Yi stood in front of the door, and scolded: "The dog inside just listened, the official is Tang Yi, the lord of the Qincha, there is a chaotic army in the city, as a local official, I don't know how to protect the territory and the people, and I cowered in the yamen, if I don't come out again, the official will immediately ask the king to order the flag, from the county magistrate to the scribe, one by one!" ”
There was no one in the county office, just behind the gate, there was a large group of officials trembling and on guard.
As soon as they saw Lord Qincha coming, they were so frightened that they immediately ran to the back, called Yang Ningcai, the county magistrate, out, and looked through the crack in the door.
"Oh, it's really Tang Liuyuan!"
Yang Ningcai's old face turned purple, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, could his life still be worth someone's Tang Yi's gold?
"What are you still stunned about, go out of the yamen and follow the adults to quell the chaos!" The fat Yang Ning was the first to run out.
Walking all the way, shouting all the way, Tang Yi's men and horses were like snowballs, rolling bigger and bigger, and when they reached the household department with the largest number of rebels, there were more than 5,000 people, and the momentum was huge! (To be continued.) )
