Chapter 352: Execution

The sea breeze blows from the east.

More than 10,000 people stood outside the city of Xinzhou. Let the sea breeze blow the flag. The flag is sounding in the hunt. The heavy drum hammer slammed down on the drum surface, making a dull drum sound.

Zhu Houhuang slowly walked onto the wooden point platform, he was dressed in silver armor, and the red cloak fluttered behind him. It looks heroic.

Just when Zhu Houhuang stood still, the drumming suddenly stopped.

Zhu Houhuang looked down, and at this moment, the army below had been divided into four phalanxes, two large and two small.

The two major ones are the Blade Battalion and the Iron Shield Battalion. The other two small ones are Wang Zhi's Thunderbolt Battalion, as well as Zhu Houhuang's personal soldiers.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Bring it up." ”

Li Liangqin personally took action and pressed a large number of people to the point.

Zhu Houhuang held down the long sword and scolded sharply: "When you join the army, you should know the law in the army." Those who commit the law of loneliness will be killed. Military Judge. ”

Li Liangqin stepped forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Execution." ”

Li Liangqin said loudly: "Yes." He said yes, went into battle, turned over the file in his hand, and began to read out everyone's crimes one after another.

Every time a person's name is pronounced, the following person is immediately executed.

In just a few moments, more than 100 heads rolled to the ground. Bloodied all over the ground.

Such a scene is against the Yongjun who have been on the battlefield. It's not an unacceptable scene. But the people who killed were still with them yesterday, and even many of them were familiar people, so they couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Just for a while. So after the executioners were killed. Zhu Houhuang knew it was time to reward.

Now it is said that the boss who only talks about ideals and does not talk about salary is a hooligan, so Zhu Houhuang also knows that for these soldiers, the officers at the top still have the temptation to be promoted and make a fortune, while the soldiers at the bottom are just rewards.

Zhu Houhuang stood on the high platform, and with a wave of his hand, several boxes were heavily placed on the high platform. Zhu Houhuang kicked it away, but saw several boxes full of silver.

Zhu Houhuang said: "The day before yesterday, the battle broke Xinzhou City, and today the whole army is rewarded. Whoever goes to war has a silver reward or two. The rest have their reward. ”

Zhu Houhuang said to Li Liangqin: "Let's start." ”

In order to deepen his control over the army, Zhu Houhuang decided to bring the power of reward and punishment to the military judges. Although Li Liangqin was not familiar with the way of marching and fighting. And I don't know much about military affairs. But the martial arts are strong, and the qualifications are very deep. Moreover, he has been the head of King Yong's army for a long time, and it can be said that most of the junior officers in the army have received his guidance.

This qualification made it possible for Zhu Houhuang to promote Li Liangqin to a high position.

Li Liangqin distributed all the rewards.

Zhu Houhuang secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, this time the reward will be distributed at least about 30,000 taels. Xu Dong had just gotten money out of Xinzhou City, and he had spent it before he could warm it.

But this reward is not missing.

Song Taizong's experience made Zhu Houhuang dare to deduct the reward.

Zhu Houhuang stood on the high platform, and everyone who received the reward came to him to thank him. Most of these people are people that Zhu Houhuang is familiar with.

Because most of the grassroots officers of the Yongjun Army were trained by Zhu Houhuang. And those who have truly made meritorious service and been rewarded. There are no real soldiers, only those low-level officers. Only then can there be a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Zhu Houhuang greeted everyone who could call out his name. For newcomers who can't remember their names, they all solemnly write them down one by one.

Let all officers have their own feeling of being valued.

After Zhu Houhuang's experience in the past two years, the means of buying people's hearts have already become instinctive.

Just when Zhu Houhuang was buying people's hearts, suddenly a person came up to the high platform and came to Zhu Houhuang's ear and said a few words. Zhu Houhuang's eyes lit up. With a wave of his hand, he lowered the man.

And in a while, after all the rewards had been given.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Bring it up." ”

Ruan Runchen came up with a person, and the two of them passed through the heavy armor, and every time they took a step, Ruan Runchen brought this person over, and his heart trembled. When he arrived in front of Zhu Houhuang, he was already trembling with fear.

When Ruan Runchen saw Zhu Houhuang, he immediately knelt on the ground. said: "The sinner is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has persuaded the old city to surrender. This is the lord of the old city. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay, Wu Ming." ”

Wu Ming immediately stepped out and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You will go and take over the old city." ”

Wu Ming said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Xu Dong." ”

Xu Dong immediately stood up and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You go and help him." ”

Of course, Xu Dong knew what Zhu Houhuang meant, how many people were needed to take over a city. Zhu Houhuang sent him over in order to loot a large sum of money from the old city like Xinzhou City.

"Yes." Wu Ming said.

Wu Ming and Xu Dong went down to do business. Zhu Houhuang looked at Ruan Runchen and said, "Ruan Runchen." ”

Ruan Runchen took two steps on his knees and said, "Your Highness, the minister is here." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You have made great contributions, what reward do you want." ”

Ruan Runchen said: "As long as His Highness can let the minister follow His Highness, it is the greatest honor of the minister." Speaking of which, although Nguyen Runchen was forced to become a prisoner. But it is 10,000 to look down on the city. Ruan Runchen is also a clever person, although he has just surrendered to Zhu Houhuang, but in a day or two, he should know everything. For example, these two cities will be handed over to Cham in the future.

Therefore, Nguyen Runchen definitely did not want to stay and surrender to the Cham people. So he tried to find a way to follow Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay, since that's the case, you can follow Master Wang." ”

Zhu Houhuang's career is getting bigger and bigger, and he is more and more eager for talents. Although Ruan Runchen is a native of Annam, he seems to have a little talent. Even if nothing is done, it is not bad to be a prefectural magistrate in the future.

After dealing with these things. Zhu Houhuang also dealt with some military affairs. In the evening, the king of Champa finally arrived.

The king of Champa set out from Champa and went north by land, although there were elephant soldiers as foot strength. But the foot travel is only a few dozen miles a day. Along the way, King Zhancheng heard the news of King Yong, and passed it one by one, which made King Champa more and more anxious, so that he couldn't bear it anymore, and left the large team behind, with the war elephant troops. Fast horses, no, fast as whips. In just a few days, I came to Xinzhou Mansion.

However, he couldn't believe that the indestructible twin-city system in front of him had been defeated in just a few days.

He knew how difficult the twin-city system was, which the previous kings of Champa had relied on to resist Vietnam for decades.

The more he knew this, the more he surprised the king of Champa.

So when King Zhancheng saw Zhu Houhuang again, his attitude was completely different.

If before, the king of Zhancheng was polite to Zhu Houhuang, it was for the sake of the face of the Ming Dynasty behind Zhu Houhuang. But now it depends on Zhu Houhuang's own strength.

"Xiao Wang greets His Royal Highness King Yong." The king of Champa knelt down.

Zhu Houhuang helped the king of Zhancheng up and said, "King Zhancheng, please get up." ”

Zhu Houhuang obviously felt that the attitude of the king of Champa was different from before. Although the king of Champa saluted before, it was all a false ceremony, but it was just a face-saving job. But now it's a sincere kneeling.

King Champa said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Yong, for regaining the old capital for Champong." The whole city of Champa is grateful. From now on, only His Royal Highness King Yong will look forward to the city. ”

Zhu Houhuang's eyes flashed, and he understood the mind of the King of Zhancheng. He was afraid that after Zhu Houhuang occupied Shuangcheng, he would not return the city. So I want to force King Yong with words and make King Yong keep his promise.

Zhu Houhuang sneered in his heart, he would not fight for just two cities. and they have ruined their own credit. However, Zhu Houhuang will not be easily fooled. said: "Why, if you don't recapture the twin cities, will you have other thoughts about occupying the city?" ”

King Champa broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Your Highness knows that Xiao Wang didn't mean that. ”

Zhu Houhuang laughed and said, "Just kidding, Shuangcheng will naturally give the city to Zhancheng." However, if you want to get the cloud customs, you also need the help of His Royal Highness. ”

The king of Champa said, "That's nature. That's nature. ”

Zhu Houhuang's previous discussion with the king of Zhancheng did not elaborate. But Zhancheng's words today made Zhu Houhuang take a big advantage. The north of the twin cities and the south of Haiyun Pass are all Zhu Houhuang's territory.
