It is now the deep winter of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the snow in the Qingjiangpu area is ten miles.

Zhang Gui stepped on the broken jade and walked in this world of ice and snow glass.

On the banks of the canal, a large number of unclothed, desperate and numb people were watching the guards abandon their boats and land on the shore.

They were not afraid of the officers and soldiers.

Even the officers and soldiers may be less disciplined than the bandits.

for they have nothing to rob.

"Do you see the people here, they still haven't had a good life. What does this mean, it shows that the implementation of the new law reform policy is not enough! The two national policies of clearing the acres of land and recovering the levies implemented in the south of the Yangtze River are only rich in the country, but the people who have not yet become rich here! ”

"It is precisely because of this that Huang Binqing and these Xilin scholars will think that the pace of the imperial court is slow. As a matter of fact, there are indeed many people who support the reform of the law, but after the rich countries are rich, they are not active in enriching the people. ”

Zhang Gui said something he wanted to say to Zhou Nengyou.

The more Zhou Neng listened, the more he felt that his Hou Ye's words were the same as the feeling of the cold wind hanging on his face like a knife, so he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, the python-robed officer who designed to assassinate Zhang Gui and the official gentry who didn't have time to escape were arrested and knelt on the ground.

plus the captured Cao soldiers and the people organized by these officials and gentry.

These people directly knelt all over the entire Qingjiangpu ferry, and some had to kneel in the icy water, trembling and waiting for Zhang Gui's execution.

"Jiang Admiral Scarlet Chengbo, you are very powerful, dare to assassinate this Inspector."

Zhang Gui looked at the python-robed master and said with a smile.

This python-robed officer is indeed Zhao Zhilong, the boss of the Gorille City, who is now serving as the commander of the Caojiang River, in charge of the defense of the upper and lower rivers in Nanjing, but now, what Zhang Gui didn't expect is that this Gorilla Uncle also controls the Cao soldiers in the area of Qingjiangpu.

However, in any case, Zhao Zhilong's plan to get rid of Zhang Gui by designing in Qingjiangpu has failed.

Now he can only be at the disposal of Zhang Gui.

Because the facts have proven that Zhang Gui is fine!

The Guards here are not leaderless.

And such a guard, even if it only has 50,000 troops, can still break through the defense line composed of hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers and Jiang defense soldiers and take Qingjiangpu!

Zhao Zhilong could only tremble and beg at this time: "The superintendent spares his life!" It took a moment of humiliation to make such a big mistake! The lowly promise will never dare again. ”

Zhang Gui asked coldly, "Do you think it's still useful for you to beg for mercy now?" ”

Zhao Zhilong's lips trembled, he didn't expect Zhang Gui to be so fateful, and now he, the Gorille City Uncle, has no precautions and preparations.

And Ye Chengxue, who didn't know that he was involved in this matter, said that although he was Li Guopu's person, Zhao Zhilong, who was actually Zhang Gui's person, could only secretly sigh that his uncle Zhang Gui was really lucky, and this kind of disaster could be avoided.

Zhao Zhilong only had endless fear now.

He was actually afraid of death.

Otherwise, he would not have surrendered to Jiannu in history.

And before that, the reason why he dared to assassinate Zhang Gui was naturally the psychology of a gambler.

After all, killing Zhang Gui is too good for him! Too many to count.

What's more, he is not the only one who wants to kill Zhang Gui, everyone who doesn't want to be Juntian wants to kill Zhang Gui!

Therefore, Zhao Zhilong is unwilling.

But Zhao Zhilong didn't succeed, so he can only be afraid now, and even beg Zhang Gui for this.

"Uncle Guo! I really don't dare to do it anymore! You are a person who is blessed by the gods of the world, I really don't dare! ”

Zhao Zhilong cried out sincerely.

"I would like to believe that your words are sincere, but I will not spare you, because I will not allow a person who plots to kill him to die a good death. This is the bottom line and principle of this Inspector. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui ordered: "Command Shen Shouyue, the chief soldier of the Guards Naval Division, to escort Zhao Zhilong to his flagship, and let the medical guards chop him when the ship goes down to Nanjing, and if he does not arrive in Nanjing, he is not allowed to lose his breath!" This overseer wants to let his meat fall into the Yangtze River to feed the fish, in order to comfort the soldiers who were burned and fell into the water by his mastermind! ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Neng replied.

Zhao Zhilong was taken aback when he heard this, and when he was dragged down again, he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Guo! Don't! Don't do that! The lowly is really wrong, and the lowly is really wrong! You can't cut off your lowly duties and let the meat of your lowly duties feed the fish! How can you say that you are also an earl! Uncle Guo, you can't do this! ”

Zhang Gui didn't pay attention, and only looked at the other arrested official gentry: "Report the name, surname and official position." ”

"Lu Mingde, the former left waiter of the Nanjing Rite Department."

After Lu Mingde answered, he pouted and cried: "I beg the superintendent to spare my life, I am willing to give all my help to the late life, and only ask for the last life!" ”

Zhang Gui asked: "In addition to Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Goron City, and Li Yulan, the general of the staff, who else is involved in this matter?" Tell the truth. ”

Lu Mingde replied: "There is Ye Chengxue, who was newly promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei, in Beijing, and outside the pass, there is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, as well as Jiannu and the Mongols, and the other is Wujiang Dong Shangshu Dong Tingsong in the south of the Yangtze River......

Lu Mingde reported truthfully.

"Let him write a confession and write it down!"

Zhang Gui commanded.

So, Lu Mingde then wrote a confession and handed it to Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui glanced at it and said: "Seeing that your confession is quite sincere, I won't kill you, just drag it out and shoot him on the shore to sacrifice the soldiers who died in the country!" Let the recruits who haven't killed anyone yet be in charge of the execution! ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Neng agreed.

After hearing this, Lu Mingde still shouted: "Spare your life, Uncle Guo!" ”

But Zhang Gui didn't pay attention, and his face was still calmly looking at the snow and clear water.

Lu Mingde was escorted to the river and knelt in the biting cold water.

And his whole body was already trembling at this time.

Bang!

The Guards recruits, who had already lined up, shot him in the head.

Lu Mingde fell to his death in the river as a result, and suddenly the turquoise water turned red.

Zhang Gui glanced at the large number of officials and gentry who were still kneeling, and ordered: "These people are also taken to the shore and shot." ”

Zhang Guowei couldn't help but ask at this time: "Inspector, this is no less than 100,000 people, do you really want to shoot them all?" ”

"Shoot!"

Zhang Gui gritted his teeth and said.

In Zhang Gui's view, if these people can participate in a mutiny against the central officials of the imperial court, it means that these people are all people from these reactionary gentry.

This is because it is impossible for real ordinary soldiers and civilians to enter this river defense system and the Cao Yun system as soldiers and eat food.

After all, these people need to be paid.

And those who can still serve as soldiers and eat food in these systems are all people who are inextricably linked to these opposition to the gentry.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

It's not a relative, it's a relative's relative.

Zhang Gui knows very well that in today's Ming Dynasty, there are still people who can enter the bureaucracy as an errand boy, especially in a place like Jiangnan, then there is no good class!

Therefore, Zhang Gui made up his mind that he would slaughter these officers and soldiers who dared to do it to himself!

"Yes!"

Zhang Guowei thought about it, and still chose to convey Zhang Gui's order.

As a result, these opposition gentry and their officers and soldiers were ordered by the guards to turn their heads and face the canal.

Then, the Guards recruits on the shore began to shoot at the opposing gentry and their officers and soldiers who were kneeling at the front.

And these opposing gentry and their officers and soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, although they were usually majestic in front of the people, were very cowardly at the moment, and none of them chose to resist, although their numbers were more than the guards.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

As gunshots rang out, batch after batch of reactionary officers and soldiers and villagers fell to their deaths in the river.

Zhang Gui looked at this scene with a serious expression.

He didn't have any sympathy for these people at the moment, because he knew that if he was really burned to death today, these people would not have any sympathy for him, and would even echo these opposition gentry to smear him.

"Uncle Zhang Guo! It is we who are planning to burn you, and we have nothing to do with them! Why do you need to raise a butcher's knife! Putting yourself in the position of unkindness! ”

Listening to the continuous gunfire in front of him, Zeng Zhishan, an official who had been a Taichang Siqing, really couldn't stand it, so he raised his head and shouted at Zhang Gui.
