The two soldiers carried the paralyzed Zuo Mengeng to the execution ground by the river.

This execution ground has been killing people for five or six days in a row, and the land has been soaked with thick blood, and the soil is all dark red, and the smell of fishy is disgusting. And there are flies everywhere, hundreds of millions of them are black, and as long as they want, they can send people into the sky and fall to death.

Zuo Mengeng is a dignified young handsome, pampered, as soon as he saw this scene, his legs were numb, and a smelly liquid flowed out of his lower body.

"Phew, whatever, just this virtue and want to lead the troops, it's just a rice bucket."

Zuo Mengeng didn't care about the contempt of the soldiers at all, he pulled his throat and shouted heartbreakingly.

"Duke Ji, I am also the Duke of Eguo sealed by the imperial court, you didn't kill me casually, you must have the will of the imperial court. As long as I can leave me a cheap life, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you! ”

At the moment of life and death, Zuo Mengeng snorted and cried, crying so much that he couldn't be sadder. Seeing him so cowardly, all the soldiers and civilians present showed disdain.

Even the soldiers of Huguang lowered their heads in shame. It's a shame to work for such a soft bone!

Gu Zhenhua smiled coldly. Lang Sheng said to the surrounding people: "Did you hear it, Zuo Mengeng said that Benjue couldn't kill him, so everyone thought that he should not be killed!" ”

The thousands of people present suddenly quieted down, not knowing what Gu Zhenhua was thinking. At this moment, an old man squeezed out of the crowd and knelt tremblingly in front of the execution ground.

"The old man's daughter-in-law was snatched away by them, son. The grandchildren are dead. Now it's such a lonely old man, blind from crying, and breaking a leg. Picking up something that the dog doesn't eat every day, and not wanting anything, just to see this culprit. It's good to sue the dead children, there is still justice in this world! ”

The sorrow of the old man called Huazi suddenly made the crowd present excited, who has no grievances in his heart, since Zuo Liangyu came. How many girls from good families have been taken captive, and how many have died of starvation.

The common people knelt down one by one and told their grievances and indignation.

"Grandpa Guo. Last year, when the Yangtze River flooded, Zuo Liangyu not only did not provide disaster relief, but also lured displaced people and robbed property. Plundering women. Got corpses all over the field. There are many complaints. On the contrary, this guy slandered the homeless people as thieves, and killed them in hundreds of pits. In less than a year, those big pits that buried people are still there, and the father's debts are repaid. Not only Zuo Mengeng, Zuo Liangyu should be pulled out and whipped corpse! ”

"Yes, that's right, whip the corpse Zuo Liangyu and kill his cub. Avenge the unjust deaths of the people! ”

The people present waved their arms one by one, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

"Kill him. Kill him, kill him! ”

The roar went straight to the sky, the sky and the earth changed, and the sun and the moon were dark.

The shouts of tens of millions of people gathered together and reached Zuo Mengeng's ears, like countless spells. The eyes suddenly turned into boundless darkness, and those powerful ghosts stretched out their bloody hands and grabbed Zuo Menggeng.

"Ah, don't, don't, Jiguogong, spare me, please!" Zuo Mengeng kowtowed desperately, and his head was bruised.

Gu Zhenhua waited until all the people quieted down before he shouted loudly: "Zuo Mengeng, you said that Benjue killed you, and you want to listen to the court, but who does the court want to listen to?" I can hear the voice of all the people in the world, your father and son are full of evil, and it is difficult to write, if you are not killed, the law and discipline of the Ming Dynasty will be gone. If you are indulged, the Ming Dynasty will only lose the hearts of the people! ”

Gu Zhenhua's voice was like a bell, and it spread far and wide, and when the people present heard it, they immediately turned red and couldn't help but slap their hands.

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "Execution!" ”

Zuo Mengeng, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, dozens of people lined up together. Except for Lu Guangzu, a cunning guy, most of the other people from Zuo Mengeng's group were arrested here.

The executioner folded his chest and belly, revealing a palm-wide chest hair, holding the Devil's Head Knife in his arms, poured a bowl of spirits, and immediately squirted out.

The wine splashed on the Ghost Head Knife, and their hands fell with the knife, and suddenly their heads rolled, and blood splattered three feet away. The scarlet was dazzling, and in an instant, all the soldiers and civilians were thunderous and rushed to tell each other.

The biggest scourge is finally dead, Hu Guang is looking forward to a new life, and all the people are grateful to Gu Zhenhua. I am even more in awe of Ann**. This also paves the way for the next step of recruiting new recruits.

And then there are more surprises waiting for the people, Zhang Jinyan issued an official document, announcing a one-year reduction of land rent. This is news that has not been heard for many years, the court is so nervous, it would be good if it didn't cost much, where can it be reduced!

But Gu Zhenhua just did it, and An ** did it, and in an instant, the people regarded An ** as their own, and Gu Zhenhua's prestige reached an unparalleled peak.

In fact, at this time, it is difficult to choose between reducing and reducing the field endowment. An ** also needs a lot of food, but also to support the front-line fighting.

For this reason, Zhang Jinyan and Gu Zhenhuazai carefully calculated the accounts for several days. Huguang is still in chaos, and continuing to collect grain at this time will only increase the burden on the people exponentially. After all, I can't see the actual benefits, just by killing a few people, the enthusiasm will fade sooner or later, and An ** can't really penetrate into the hearts of the people.

By reducing the tax for one year, we will be able to take this opportunity to reorganize the administration of officials and strengthen the control over the local government. Only when taxes are collected again can exploitation be reduced.

Of course, the reduction and exemption of land taxes does not mean that nothing else will be collected, from now on, An ** will begin to levy one-tenth of the commercial tax, and then use the collected money to purchase food and materials.

In addition, it is specifically stipulated that the common people do not need to pay taxes on their rations for grain, and once they are sold and sold, they will have to pay one-tenth of the tax.

According to Zhang Jinyan's estimates, the commercial tax can receive about 1.5 million taels, which is enough to compensate for the loss of land rent.

Gu Zhenhua also specially explained that there is no problem in collecting commercial taxes, but it is necessary to rectify the rule of officials, especially those officials, to prevent them from extorting merchants. Only in this way will Huguang's commerce and trade become more and more prosperous.

In order to support Zhang Jinyan, Gu Zhenhua specially instructed Sun Cheng and Ma Jinzhong to use the army to support Zhang Jinyan's actions when necessary.

After explaining clearly, Gu Zhenhua left Huguang, and the armies of all walks of life also withdrew from the 6th Division. The big guys are very high-spirited.

Especially Wu Kaijie, his face was full of joy, and he talked eloquently along the way, very proud.

"Grandpa Guo, Huguang has arrived, the depth has doubled, and the power has been extended to the south of the Yangtze River, so we can be regarded as taking root. No one wants to shake the power of An**, as long as the more than 20 million people are governed well, and hundreds of thousands of male soldiers are trained, let alone restore the old capital when the time comes, we will also sweep the desert like Chengzu, let those Hu'er bow down and be willing to kneel! ”

Gu Zhenhua was not as optimistic as him, and he couldn't help but beat everyone.

"Expelling the Tartars, this is the goal that Benjue has always believed in, but everyone must be calm, the Tartars are not so easy to deal with, and we are not really invincible."

While he was talking, someone suddenly ran over.

"Grandpa Guo, the flying pigeon has passed the book!"

Gu Zhenhua hurriedly took it, and after taking a look, Gu Zhenhua's brows furrowed.

"Here comes the Tartars!"

As soon as they heard this, Zhou Yingjie, Xie Bin, and Wu Kaijie all widened their eyes.

Gu Zhenhua said: "Wu Kaijie, you first follow Benjue and return to Kaifeng immediately, and the others will take care of the troops and prepare for a big battle!" ”

……

"Battalion commander, look!"

Kang Lesheng followed the direction of the soldier's finger, only to see black smoke billowing in the distance, a piece of fire.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Kang Lesheng rushed over on his horse, and the people behind him followed closely. When there were still a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, a heavy bloody breath came.

When they looked up, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them!

In the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, there were a hundred and ten corpses, one pressing the other, like a hill, and blood was still flowing along the pile of corpses.

The elderly, the children, the young and strong, no one escaped the poisonous hands. They had all been stabbed more than once, and their eyes were wide and angry.

Behind them, dozens of thatched houses were all on fire. In the farmland not far away, there were also continuous fires, and the wheat fields that were about to ripen were all burned!

The soldiers were red-eyed at this, and hurried to cut the wheat, and worked for a full hour before they separated a barrier and saved the rest of the wheat.

"Bastard!"

Kang Lesheng couldn't help but burst into foul language, this was the third slaughter village they had encountered in the past two days. Every time, the Tartars killed all the people, robbed them of all their possessions, especially the grain, and finally burned all the wheat!

The Tuntian Grange, which Ann had worked so hard to build, was destroyed like this. Although they are still in northern Henan and have not hurt the core, the impact on the morale of the army is also quite strict.

"Battalion commander, this is Uncle Wang, every time we pass by on patrol, he prepares tea for us."

As the soldiers spoke, they hugged the corpse of an old man, and hot tears fell on the old man's cheeks.

"Battalion commander, we want to avenge them!" The soldiers clenched their fists with a clatter.

Kang Lesheng's face was also gloomy, and he carefully inspected the village several times, and then said: "Brothers, the team attacked by the Tartars has at least three or five hundred war horses, and in my observation, they have at least one person and three horses, and they are extremely mobile. It's going to be very difficult for us to catch up with them. Maybe they'll set up an ambush to lure us to the bait. ”

"Then, then don't you take revenge?"

"Of course not!" Kang Lesheng said unceremoniously: "We have to use our brains well, lure the enemy deep, and kill them in one fell swoop!" ”

Just as they were discussing how to deal with the Tartars, a group of Tartars loaded with harvest also withdrew to the barracks, a squad of more than a hundred people, more than three hundred war horses, loaded with harvest.

When Zhun Ta saw these people coming back, he immediately laughed: "Eight Banner Warriors, you should be like a wolf, looting, killing, warriors, you have done a good job!" (To be continued......)
