Chapter 121: I'll Arrest You and Get Your Reward

This is too ruthless, a word of disagreement is killing, and many people are stunned.

"Does anyone dare to disobey?" Zhao Erhan shouted loudly with a blood-dripping spear.

The majestic body stood in front of the formation, and a strong murderous aura spread, and many people couldn't help but retreat and distance themselves from him.

"I'm fighting with you!" Someone suddenly screamed, red eyes and about to rush over, it should be a relative or friend of the person who was killed, but it was hugged by someone else.

"The words of the big leader are military orders, and disobedience should be killed."

Zhao Quan and the others stood behind Zhao Erhan and shouted loudly.

Although many rebels were unwilling, they were forced by Zhao Erhan's obscenity @ Wei but did not dare to disobey.

Zhao Erhan continued to give orders and ordered the siege to begin.

Right now.

"Look at the city!" Suddenly, someone shouted.

The rebels looked one after another, and saw that many people were tied up in the city.

"Isn't that the shopkeeper of the Xianghe No.?" Zhao Quan said suddenly.

"Yes, next to him is the Yongfeng Liu Dongjia, and I also did odd jobs in his store last month." Someone answered.

"Li Dongjia, the auspicious goods inn in a blue silk robe, has many people in our fort raising horses for him."

For a while, there were different opinions, and the identities of the rebels who were escorted out of the city were all recognized, and they were all Jin merchants with heads and faces in Zhangjiabao.

"Listen to the soldiers under the city!" Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and it turned out to be many people shouting in unison in the city.

"Great chief, let's attack the city, don't listen to their nonsense." Zhao Quan urged.

Zhao Erhan shook his head: "You have to fight a war clearly, listen to what they have to say first?" ”

"Listen, the people of the city."

"Many of you know the people tied to the city, they are merchants in the city, but they are all profiteers who have committed treason to the enemy!"

"Last month, Jin Yiwei captured a caravan in Liaodong and sold fine iron gunpowder to Jiannu. Jiannu is my mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and millions of Liaodong people were slaughtered by Jiannu. This gang of profiteers actually sold military materials to Jiannu, which is a collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country. ”

"After Jinyiwei's interrogation, this caravan belonged to the Zhangjiakou Fanjia firm. His Majesty sent the new governor of Xuanfu to investigate the case, but Fan Yongdou absconded in fear of crime.

After investigation, it was found that it was not Fan Yongdou's family who violated the ban of the imperial court to privately buy militaristic material resources, and the governor ordered a thorough investigation, and once it was verified, the warehouse would be sealed!

You are all soldiers, and when you know the consequences of selling the goods of the military, the Tartars will use the fine iron sold to them by the profiteers to make arrows and shoot them at you! ”

A huge roar came from the top of the city, echoed through the wilderness, and the sound reached the ears of the rebels outside the city, and many of them began to whisper.

Xuanfu is located on the front line of the Ming Dynasty, and peace with the Mongols has only been for decades, and the brutality of the Tatars is still in their memory. Listening to the words coming from the city, many people thought deeply.

"Great chief, don't listen to their nonsense, quickly give the order to attack the city." Zhao Quan said hurriedly.

Zhao Erhan ignored him, but listened attentively.

"Buying militaristic materials privately is treason against the enemy, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is a capital crime, Governor Hong ordered that a criminal be executed!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen soldiers raised their machetes and slashed down, more than a dozen blood fountains gushed, and human heads rolled down from the city.

There was a commotion in the city.

More than half of these rebels are military households near Zhangjiakou, and many of them have worked in the storehouses in the city, so they naturally know that those people are all wealthy and have a very high status, and now, more than a dozen wealthy people have been cut off like chickens, which makes them not frightened.

At this moment, many people thought of the majesty of the imperial court and secretly regretted participating in the riot for a little silver.

"There are rumors that the imperial court wants to cancel the horse market and cancel the tribute trade, which are all rumors spread by unscrupulous merchants!

His Majesty has decreed that a royal trading house will be established in Zhangjiakou to replace the Fuyi Department to manage the horse market trade.

Governor Hong has ordered a large number of recruits such as shopkeepers, bookkeepers, grooms, and men, and those who have worked in various warehouses with experience will be given priority, and all salaries will be preferred. ”

As soon as the words of the city head fell, the "buzz" of the rebel army under the city became noisy.

The reason why many people are here is that they are afraid of losing their jobs and losing their income, so they gather people to make trouble under the flickery of the Jin merchants, trying to coerce the imperial court to remove the new governor of Xuanfu, give up canceling the horse market trade, and still work and make money as before.

However, he did not expect that the emperor had no intention of canceling the horse market trade, in order to confiscate the Jin merchants who sold prohibited goods, and established the royal trading house, so that everyone could continue to work and make money.

In that case, what excuse is there for trouble? Why do you want to keep making trouble?

For a while, many people had the idea of retreating.

"They are liars and want to trick the big guys into leaving. Once we disperse, they will inevitably cancel the horse market trade, and they will hold everyone accountable. Suddenly, someone shouted, but it was a henchman sent by the merchants.

Some of the rebels were a little shaken and didn't know who to listen to. Some people didn't think so, and the rolling heads under the city told them that the resolute attitude of the new governor, such a clean and neat killing, didn't take the more than 20,000 people under the city into account at all, so why deceive everyone?

"The existing Fan Yongdou, Fan Sanba, Wang Dengku...... A total of 18 businessmen involved in the incident absconded, and the governor of Xuanfu ordered that the above people and their accomplices were wanted. Catch Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others, and reward a thousand taels of silver! Catch his accomplices, and once verified, reward 100 taels of silver. ”

The roar of the city continued to be heard, but a reward was issued.

Many of the rebels in the city couldn't help but be moved. For these poor military families who traveled dozens of miles or hundreds of miles to Zhangjiabao for a few taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver was already a huge fortune, enough for the family to spend for many years.

If you can't catch Fan Yongdou and the others on the bounty list, it's okay to catch their accomplices. Who are the accomplices? Of course, they fooled the people who came here.

Looking at a pair of malicious eyes, the representatives sent by those Jin merchants were cold.

"Those who deceive people are all deceitful, and the words of the court cannot be trusted." Zhao Quan muttered, but his eyes wandered, and his eyes were fixed on Zhao Erhan.

"Great Chief, give the order to attack the city!" Zhao Quan anxiously urged.

As long as the battle starts, these rebels will not have time to think wildly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are countless riches in Zhangjiabao City, dozens of warehouses, and the gold, silver and cloth in each warehouse are piled up, and Zhangjiabao is laid, and the things in it are ours! Let's ......"

Zhao Quan shouted, trying to make a final struggle.

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed him by the neck.

"You lied to me!" Zhao Erhan hummed and said, "You said that the corrupt officials in the city have no way to live, so I agreed to be the big leader, it turns out that you are here to break into the city and rob it!" ”

"I, Zhao Erhan, have been a Ming military household for generations, but I will not betray the court, so I will arrest you and go to the city to receive the reward."
