There are too many reasons why the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi was so vigorous.

However, there is one thing that is very bad about the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi, that is, every time they pass through a county or a city, they will inevitably sweep away all the local landlords and gentry, and the people will also be coerced by the peasant army to rebel.

Everywhere he passed, there was a white land, and there were no people or animals.

With this method of rebellion, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they will not be able to defeat the world, because there is no stable rear and no continuous supply of materials.

All grain and grass supplies were robbed, and Wang Bingzhong hated this method of rebellion.

Because those peasant armies brought only disaster, not hope.

But the young man in front of him is different, looking at him is not even twenty years old, and he doesn't even have a hair on his mouth, but the theories of rebellion are set in a set.

But there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm.

Although Mo Qian said it very well, Meng Daohong and the others did not think that he would succeed.

"King Mo, your idea is very good, but unfortunately, the three of us will not descend to you!" Wang Bingzhong said leisurely.

Mo Qian didn't expect the three of them to be persuaded by his words.

At this time, it was only seven years of Chongzhen, and it was still ten years before the coal mountain was hanged.

Moreover, at this time, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was still quite strong, far from reaching the point where there were no soldiers available in the next few years.

Therefore, it is obviously not feasible to want a six-rank general judge and a seven-rank magistrate to surrender to him just by relying on a single word.

However, although they did not surrender, Mo Qian did not intend to let them go easily.

He smiled and said, "Three adults, since you are willing to surrender, then I will not be reluctant, but before the prefect returns to the house, I have to wronged the three adults!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Lu Zitian looked at Mo Qian with some fear.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to invite three adults to be guests!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pawn of the peasant army came in at the door, and he reported: "Wang, General Lu arrested five soldiers on the street who robbed the people and raped ** women, and General Lu asked the little one to come and ask for instructions on what to do." ”

Mo Qian's head exploded when he heard the news, and he told him thousands of times before entering the city that he was absolutely not allowed to do anything illegal and undisciplined after entering the city.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, five peasant armies violated military regulations.

Mo Qian said angrily: "There's nothing to ask for, pull me out and cut it!" ”

"Yes!"

The order quickly reached Lu Zhao, who was on the street, and after listening to the report of his subordinates, Lu Zhao said helplessly to the five people in front of him: "I told you yesterday not to rob the people. It's good for you to rob, rape ** girl, any crime is a capital crime, you dare to commit two, this time the king of heaven will not be able to save you. ”

When the five peasant soldiers heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the spot and cried: "Brother Lu, we were wrong, we were really wrong!" Just spare us! ”

Lu looked at the five people kneeling in front of him, two of whom were still his fellow villagers.

wanted to behead them for public display, Lu Zhao really couldn't bear it.

Just as he was struggling, Mo Qian's voice came from a distance.

"If it is useful to repent, then what do you need the law for, what do you need a military order for?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd split a road.

Mo Qian walked over with a sword in his hand.

Behind him are still the two generals Yi Jiu and Yi Chenggui, after the baptism of last night's battle, the two seem to have regarded themselves as King Mo's confidants and favorite generals, wherever Mo Qian goes, they will follow.

Behind the second general Hum Ha were Wang Bingzhong, Meng Daohong, Lu Zitian, and a cadre of officials to arrest quickly.

They were forced to come and watch the execution.

The reason why he wanted to pull them out was to let the people and officials in the city see that although he Mo Qian was a thief, he would not kill a good person indiscriminately, but he would not let go of a bad person.

Even if someone in his army commits a crime, he will kill him.

After the people saw Mo Qian appear, there was a lot of cheers in the crowd.

Some people even knelt on the side of the road with egg cakes in their hands, shouting the slogan of King Mo.

Mo Qian didn't know when he became the king, but since the people and his subordinates called him that, he had no choice but to accept this title.

Anyway, they have already rebelled, and it doesn't matter if they are kings or not.

Coming to the five people, Mo Qian asked Lu Zhaodao, "Why don't you have to be punished?" I had already stated in advance last night that the five of them should be guilty of violating military orders. ”

Lu took care of Mo Qian and was really angry, and immediately understood that this matter was basically irreparable.

He replied loudly: "Back to the king's words, according to the military order, you should be beheaded!" ”

"What's the matter, also, bring all the officers and soldiers who went to Wentang Town yesterday and behead them together!"

Hearing this order, Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and he asked in a low voice, "King, that's more than a hundred people!" ”

Mo Qian glanced at him and said, "Don't say it's a hundred, it's a thousand, kill it!" ”

Feeling the strong murderous aura on Mo Qian's body, Lu Zhao didn't dare to rub it off, and he asked people to pull out all the officers and soldiers of the more than 100 guards who were caught yesterday, including the commander Liu Shizhong and Li Yuanbin, the general manager of Qian.

The rest of the officers had been killed in battle the previous night, and the commander Liu Shizhong tried to escape on horseback, but was blocked by the peasant army, and the horses he was riding on were also captured.

Li Yuanbin was even more miserable, as soon as he walked out of his house with a weapon, he bumped into a large army of peasants, was surrounded on the spot, and did not even have the idea of resisting, and was directly captured.

Soon more than 100 officers and soldiers of the guard station were brought over.

There was a large open space at the entrance of the government office, and more than 100 officers and soldiers were lined up in three columns, their hands tied behind their backs, and they fell to their knees.

Mo Qian asked Yi Jiu to find a square table, stood on the table himself, and began to speak to the people below.

"Folks, let me introduce myself first, I, don't ask, Yuanzhou people.

Yesterday, Liu Shizhong, the commander of the Yuanzhou Governor's Guard, led more than 300 officers and soldiers to Wentang Town to exterminate the bandits.

Yesterday, six women were raped to death, one man was hacked to death, and more than 20 people were wounded.

They burned, killed, looted, plundered in the town, and you said, 'Should they be killed?' ”

"Damn it!"

"Yes, I think so too, so I don't ask, there was a rebellion, I led the people of Wentang Town, marched in the starry night, and captured the city.

Before entering the city, I had made an agreement with my subordinates about three chapters: first, you were not allowed to enter the people's homes.

Second, it is forbidden to commit adultery, plunder, or wanton murder.

Third, those who do not respect the order, behead!

However, some people refuse to accept it, and they have to violate my orders, and you say, what should I do? ”

"Slash! Chop! Chop! The people spoke in unison.

"Yes, I think so too, and there won't be much nonsense in the future, General Lu, let's execute!"

Lu glanced at Mo Qian, who was standing on the table, and nodded.

But Wang Bingzhong, Meng Daohong, and a group of officials in the audience bowed their heads one by one.

A group of them are officials, and they don't do as well as a thief.

Take Liu Shizhong's evil deeds as an example, it is not enough to die a hundred times, but they have nothing to do with Liu Shizhong.

The family is a hereditary commander, and the official position passed down from the year of Taizu, these local officials, can't control the head of the army at all.

A total of 1017 people were beheaded, including 110 officers and soldiers and 5 peasant soldiers.

With so many heads to be cut off at once, there are obviously not enough executioners in Fucheng.

And as soon as the executioner heard that he was going to cut down the official, he was so frightened on the spot that he did not dare to come out.

In desperation, Lu Zhao could only lead someone to execute himself.

Of the one hundred and seventeen heads, Lu Zhao brought twenty people, and each person cut off at least five heads.

After the execution, Lu took a look at his knife and found that it had curled up.

Killing so many people at once, the atmosphere at the scene was still very terrifying.

Even Mo Qian, who personally ordered it, couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach when he saw so many heads fall to the ground.

He endured his nausea and didn't throw it up.

But the people present didn't have the endurance of him.

Many people couldn't help but run to the side and vomit when they cut the first round.

Pushing official Wang Bingzhong watched so many heads fall to the ground, his face turned pale with fright.

He has been an official for many years, and it is the first time he has seen so many heads fall to the ground at one time.

After experiencing Lu Zitian and the general sentence, Meng Daohong was directly frightened and fainted.

After cutting off the head, Mo Qian asked the county government to clean up the scene with the officials.

The weapons of the catchers and officials were all confiscated, and the city was full of peasant troops at this time, so they did not dare to disobey their orders.

Buckets of water came up from the well, washing the square outside the yamen of the mansion that had just passed Xing.

It is said that from then on, the people did not dare to walk through the gate of the government at night.

Because every late at night, there is a gust of wind outside the yamen, and the sound is like a ghost crying wolf, which makes people shudder.

After the execution, Mo Qian called Lu Zhao to him and said to him, "What about the casualties in the battle last night? ”

"One hundred and thirty-two dead, seventy-five wounded!"

Hearing this number, Mo Qian couldn't help frowning.

"Why do you die so much?"

Lu Zhao smiled bitterly: "The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the guard is still there, if we didn't move fast last night, once the officers and soldiers of the guard are gathered, I'm afraid more people will die!" ”

"Well, for the families who died in battle, each household will be compensated fifty taels of silver, and the injured will be twenty taels!"

"So much?" Hearing this number, Lu Zhao was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Mo Qian shook his head, "Fifty taels of lives is already very cheap, we can't chill the hearts of the people!" ”

"And what about these five guys?" Lu Zhao pointed to the five headless corpses on the ground.

Mo Qian sighed: "It's the same as the treatment of the dead, it's fifty taels!" ”

Lu Zhao couldn't help but admire it in his heart when he heard this, and he asked himself if it was himself, he would definitely not be able to be so generous.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Qian confiscated all the family assets of the government office, the county government, the officers and soldiers of the guard station, and several corrupt officials, and obtained more than 11,000 taels of silver, more than 4,000 taels of gold, and more than 10,000 stones of grain.

These things were all packed and taken away by Mo Qian, he not only took things away, but also took Wang Bingzhong, Meng Daohong and Lu Zitian three court officials together, and left a letter for the government officials to transfer to the prefect Tian Younian.

At night, Tian Younian led Cheng Zhidun, the commander of Pingxiang County, to return to Yuanzhou Mansion with a total of 600 officers and soldiers of the guard post and township warriors after receiving an urgent report.

When I arrived at the gate of the city, I saw that the four gates of Yuanzhou Mansion were open, and the city was quiet.

Tian Younian thought that the peasant army was in ambush, so he didn't dare to enter the city, but chose to spend the night outside the city.

It wasn't until the morning when the people went in and out of the city gate that Tian Younian knew that there was no ambush in the city.

When he returned to the palace, the official informed Tian Younian of what had happened, and presented the letter left by Mo Qian.

Tian Younian was furious after reading the letter, and scolded: "How can this be reasonable, how can this official state be a state capital, how can there be a reason to do business with thieves!" ”
