Chapter 184: All Executions
When the words "rectify the law on the spot" were spoken, all the officials on the stage gasped.
Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the guards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have gradually become furnishings, and millions of guards need the relief of the imperial court, but due to the depletion of the imperial court's finances, the food and salary of the guards around the country are rarely released as scheduled, so the officers and soldiers around the country are constantly being paid, and it is abnormal if they do not make trouble with him a few times a year. Generally speaking, the imperial court also focuses on pacification, and it has never been heard of to kill all the officers and soldiers who are making trouble like today, so even the civil officials who have always looked down on the soldiers were frightened when they heard that Yue Yang was going to kill all these chaotic soldiers.
As if he had met Yue Yang for the first time, Jiang Xin stammered, "Yue ...... Lord Yue, these people ...... These people are all officers and soldiers. ”
"This official naturally knows!" Yue Yang said coldly.
Liao Chunyu on the side also sighed: "Lord Yue, these officers and soldiers are also natives of Hunyuan Prefecture, and they also have parents, wives and children in the city. According to the old man's humble opinion, he will only punish evil, and let them go after a lesson, so that they will surely thank you for your great kindness. ”
Yue Yang glanced at Liao Chunyu a few times, and he knew that Liao Chunyu was actually for his good. But he still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Lord Liao, you are right, this official can certainly release these chaotic soldiers, so maybe they will be grateful to this official." But have you ever thought about it, if the official goes around them, what will happen to the innocent people who died at their hands? What about the women and children they have ruined? Who will redress them? As officers and soldiers, but they did this to those women, children and children who should have been protected by them, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to kill these things that are inferior to beasts! ”
Yue Yang's words carried a hint of killing intent, and anyone could hear the decisive meaning in his voice.
Since Yue Yang didn't hide his voice, his words were naturally listened to by all the people around him. The rebels in the audience were no exception, and now the rebels began to panic.
In fact, after the surrender, these rebels were not too afraid, after all, this kind of thing often happened, and the imperial court generally only reprimanded the officers and soldiers who made trouble. In the end, there may be a few more rewards. Therefore, most of these rebels were still very calm when they were first captured, and many of them were still laughing with each other, boasting to their companions that they had killed a few people and which woman they had played, but when Yue Yang said that he was going to execute them all, these rebels immediately panicked. Quite a few people began to yell desperately.
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives...... The villain only obeyed the dispatch of the superior, and the army has not been paid for several months, so he really can't help himself! The villain doesn't dare anymore! ”
"The adults spare their lives, but the villains don't dare anymore!"
Frightened, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, which is the practice of the vast majority of rebels. But there were also some people who didn't do it, and these people were seven or eight officers with a surname of Bai, and they jumped up and screamed loudly.
"I don't accept it, Lao Tzu is also a military general canonized by the imperial court, you Yueyang has not reported to the military department, and second, you have not been approved by the emperor Vermilion, what right do you have to behead the court officials. I'm going to sue you...... I'm going to sue you! ”
"Yes, Lao Tzu is not convinced, Lao Tzu is an official of the imperial court, why should you behead us, without the official document of the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War, you can't behead us!"
Looking at these shouting officers, a trace of coldness appeared on Yue Yang's face again, and he turned his head to Chu Di, who was standing aside, and said loudly: "President Chu Qian! ”
Chu Di, who was suddenly shouted his name, was taken aback, and then quickly took a step forward and said, "Uh...... Arrive! ”
"Are all your men and horses and the officers and soldiers who have not remnants of the rebellion here?"
Chu Di immediately replied: "Lord Qiyu, more than 200 lowly subordinates and officers and soldiers who did not participate in the rebellion have all arrived. ”
Yue Yang said coldly: "You immediately take them to the bottom." Line up to watch the execution! ”
"What...... What the? Chu Di was taken aback, this matter has nothing to do with me, why should we all watch the execution?
"Hmm......" Yue Yanghui overlooked and asked, "What?" Lord Chu was unwilling. ”
"No...... No. Chu Di's head immediately shook like a rattle, "Don't worry, my lord, I will take someone down to watch the punishment immediately!" ”
Yue Yang nodded: "That's good." Feng Xiaoming, you are responsible for this execution, let's start! ”
"Yes!"
Feng Xiaoming, who always had a smile on his face on weekdays, was solemn at this time, and after he solemnly saluted Yue Yue with both hands in his fists, he immediately strode forward and gave an order.
Soon, the first batch of 100 rebels were pressed up, knowing that the end was approaching, they were all exposed at this time, some of the rebels struggled desperately, and some of the rebels collapsed to the ground into a puddle of mud, all dragged to the center of the school by the two sergeants behind them.
And the people next to the school yard are also in chaos, they have grown so big, how have they ever seen so many people being executed at one time, watching such a criminal law is also a huge test for them.
No matter how the first batch of rebels who were pulled over struggled, their fate was already sealed, and today was the day they were awarded. Feng Xiaoming led two hundred firecrackers to press the first batch of rebels who were tied up by the Five Flowers to the center of the school field, and then threw them to the ground.
Among these rebels, there are ordinary officers and soldiers, some people are green-skinned gangsters in the city, and some even hundreds of households are also mixed in, they are still murderous this morning, they have long been frightened at this time, some people collapsed on the ground and were scared to the and urine, looking at the hateful eyes of the dense people around and the mighty soldiers standing next to them, one by one was speechless.
After these people were still on the ground, the two hundred musketeers immediately took ten steps back, and then took the muskets off their shoulders, and the muzzles of the black holes were immediately aimed at the rebels who had collapsed on the ground.
Feng Xiaoming, who was on the side, took out the long knife at his waist and raised it high and shouted: "The execution begins, the first team prepares, raise the gun!" ”
"Whoa!"
The musketeers began to aim, and the hundred rebels in front of them were already trembling at this time, some of them wept loudly, and some of them knew that they would not be spared, and they cursed.
As Feng Xiaoming shouted, "Release!" ”
"Bang ......"
The deafening sound of fire rang out, and in a burst of smoke, the time of the entire school field seemed to stand still, and everyone dared not make a sound.
Then, Feng Xiaoming's voice came again: "The firing squad has a bayonet and stepped forward to check the corpse." ”
The musketeers who had fired stepped forward one after another, walked up to the rebels who had been executed by themselves, examined them, and if they were not dead, they would be given a stab.
With the execution of the first rebels, followed by the second and third...... The fifth group of rebels also followed in the footsteps of their companions, and finally more than 500 rebels were all executed on the school ground, and for a time the corpses on the school field were piled up, and the lingering thick smell of blood wafted on the school field, so that countless people couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
And Chu Di, who was closer to the place of execution, and his group of officers and soldiers who did not participate in the salary were also pale one by one, and many people were glad that they were fortunate not to participate in the salary, but they couldn't help but be surprised by Yue Yang's ruthlessness. Looking at Yue Yang, who was standing expressionless on the high platform, Chu Di had already made his own decision in his heart......
On the sixth day of October in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the defenders of the original city of Hunyuan Prefecture made a rebellion, Yueyang, who was the commander of Shanxi at the time, led the troops to quell the rebellion, after two hours of fierce fighting, Yueyang quelled the rebellion, and all the rebels involved in the rebellion were all executed, among these executed rebels included two thousand generals, a town guard and thirteen hundred generals, and the news was shocked after reaching Datong.
Lu Xiangsheng was also shocked by Yue Yang's ruthlessness, and executed more than 500 rebellious soldiers at once, which was a rare major event in the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, it is not easy to recruit soldiers, and officers from all over the country do not regard the soldiers in their hands as baby bumps, and generally even if their own soldiers have committed something, the generals will only lift the board and drop it gently, but this one is good, he has just taken office less than three days before he went on a killing spree, and almost all the original city defense officers and soldiers were killed, is he not afraid of causing a backlash from the families of those officers and soldiers and even making trouble?
Not only Lu Xiangsheng, but some other chief military officers were also stunned after learning the news. Even Hu Dawei, a fierce general on the battlefield, sighed: "This Yueyang, the murderous aura is too heavy, but this is fine, so it is estimated that if anyone in Hunyuan Prefecture wants to make trouble in the future, they will have to touch their necks to see if their necks are hard or the steel knives are hard." ”
Lu Xiangsheng knew, so Xu Dingchen, as the governor of Shanxi, naturally would not not know, looking at the official document in his hand, Xu Dingchen sighed: "This Yueyang, he has become a commander and a fellow knowledge, and he is still acting like Meng Lang, killing more than 500 officers and soldiers who are making trouble in one go, and he is not afraid of hurting the heavens." ”
"These rebels have killed more than the people, and the students think that Master Yue has done the right thing." Tang Xueying, a staff member on the side, agreed with Yue Yang's approach, "Anyway, Yue Yang is bringing 3,000 elites to the post, and he doesn't worry about no one guarding the city, plus he is a famous rich man, so he can recruit if he lacks soldiers." ”
"Hmm...... Also! Xu Dingchen nodded and smiled: "The official forgot, this Yueyang doesn't need to be a bystander, he has silver and food, and it is really not a trouble for him to recruit a few thousand people, just let him go......"
