In Qujing City.

The native soldiers who had slaughtered from the houses and alleys lined up in a dense horizontal formation, holding spears four feet long, like a human wall slowly advancing forward.

But it's not just an ordinary human wall.

Rather, it is a wall of people covered with spears, and the spears that grow on top of this wall can stab people to death.

Looking at the rolling over human wall and the rows of spear forests, the Guangxi wolf soldiers were all stunned all of a sudden, what is going on? Didn't you say let's go into the city and receive the reward? Doesn't it mean that there are still beef and sheep to eat wine and meat? How to get this hand? The Dog Emperor lied to us, the Dog Emperor wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge and kill us all?

The Guangxi wolf soldiers who entered the city from the four gates were all stunned, really stunned.

No wolf soldier dared to charge easily, after all, the number of native soldiers on the opposite side was not necessarily less than them, maybe more, and the key native soldiers were still fully armed, as well as four spears.

On the other hand, they were unarmed, and they did not have a single piece of armor on their bodies.

At this time, to charge at the human wall and spear array of the earth soldiers, it is really looking for death, and in the blink of an eye, you will be stabbed into a sieve, and no one will do such a stupid thing.

"Kneel and beg, but you can't die!"

"Kneel and beg, but you can't die!"

"Kneel and beg, but you can't die!"

The native soldiers who were slowly advancing suddenly began to shout in unison.

The shouting is official, and many Guangxi wolf soldiers can understand it.

After all, many of these wolf soldiers have also gone to other provinces to see the world.

Guangxi wolf soldiers naturally refuse to kneel and beg to surrender easily, who knows if your words count? If we surrender, wouldn't it be a loss to be killed like chickens and sheep in the end?

"Fight with them!" Finally, a team of wolf soldiers couldn't hold back.

With a roar, nearly a hundred wolf soldiers pounced on the earth soldier spear formation.

As a result, there was not even a single wave, and before the wolf soldiers could rush closer, rows of spears had already stabbed like poisonous snakes, and nearly a hundred wolf soldiers were stabbed into blood sieves at once.

Nearly 100 wolf soldiers were covered in blood, and they fell to the ground and never moved again.

The other wolf soldiers were terrified when they saw this, and this situation was no longer something that courage could make up for.

In the face of the slowly advancing spear formation, the wolf soldiers could only keep retreating and retreating, but soon, they had no way to retreat, because behind them was the city wall.

At this time, the Guangxi wolf soldiers are really in a desperate situation.

Behind him was the city wall, on which were garrisoned by the new army.

On the front, tens of thousands of native soldiers lined up into a wall, holding spears and crushing them.

Soon, more than 20,000 wolf soldiers who entered the city from the west gate were crowded together, and there was nowhere to retreat.

Facing the spear formation of the earth soldiers who were about to reach their bodies, the outermost wolf soldiers were finally intimidated.

"I surrender!" One of the wolf soldiers wailed and fell to his knees with a pop.

Someone took the lead, someone followed, and soon the wolf soldiers who had entered the city through the west gate fell to their knees.

"All tied up and taken to detention outside the city!" A Qinwang scholar pulled open the visor of the phoenix-winged helmet and shouted.

Groups of native soldiers immediately rushed forward, tied up the wolf soldiers who were kneeling and begging one after another, and then strung them together with thick hemp ropes, and drove them back to the military camp outside the city.

……

There was such a big commotion in the direction of the city gate, it was impossible not to alarm the civil and military generals Tusi on the palace square.

In particular, thousands of native soldiers shouted "Kneel down and beg to surrender, but you will not die", and the huge sound could almost tear off the roof of the government office, and it was impossible to pretend that you could not hear it.

The square, which had been very lively just now, suddenly became dead silent.

Mu Tianbo, Tang Zhaoyuan, Wu Wenying and other Yunnan officials all looked at each other.

Ding Kuichu and the leaders of the forty-eight wolf soldiers were secretly frightened, kneeling and begging, who should kneel and beg to surrender? If you can't die, who will you spare if you don't die? Rebels?

"Holy." Ding Kuichu asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Chongzhen, who walked back to Ding Kuichu after a round of wine, said, "Ding Qing just needs to drink." ”

"Shengshang, the minister is worried about the wolf soldiers in Guangxi making trouble, you also know that these wolf soldiers in Guangxi are the most unruly, every time they responded to the imperial court in the past, they fought no less, and their achievements were not less, but there were also a lot of troubles." Ding Kuichu got up and said, "Why don't you go out and have a look?" So as not to really get into trouble. ”

"Not necessarily." Chongzhen said, "I said that there is nothing to do, and there will be nothing to do." ”

Chongzhen said so, and Ding Kuichu could only sit back on the seat.

Chongzhen walked back to his seat and put down the wine bottle, turned around and said: "This celebration wine has been almost drunk, and I still have a poem left by Emperor Taizu Gao here, which I want to enjoy with you." ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao's poems?" The civilian, military and military generals present all looked at each other.

Only Yang Weizhi, who was sitting at the end of the military general class, was slightly moved in his heart, could it be that sentence?

Yang Weizhi turned his mind, Chongzhen had already chanted the poem aloud: "The golden bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiving." ”

Chongzhen didn't read it out loud, and the expression on his face was as calm and calm as ever, but the civil and military generals and Tusi present clearly felt a first-class murderous aura.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Yiding, who were fully dressed and customary, swarmed and surrounded the square.

Hu Guozhu and Wujiangtan and several other generals also appeared behind Chongzhen wearing phoenix-winged helmets and mountain armor, while scanning the civil and military generals Tusi in the square with fierce eyes.

At this time, even Mu Tianbo, who was the most unresponsive, realized that something was wrong.

After a pause, Chongzhen named again: "Yang Weizhi, deputy envoy of Jincang Dao Armament, you and I can explain what these two verses of Emperor Taizu Gao mean?" ”

"Command." Yang Weizhi got up and waved it, and said, "The meaning of these two poems of Emperor Taizu Gao is that glory and wealth can be shared with the nobles, but if any nobleman dares to rely on his power in the fish and meat town, he will never be spared!" ”

"That's not right!" Chongzhen said loudly, "Not only the nobles, but also the Wenchen, if the Wenchen relies on his power to do whatever he wants, Emperor Taizu Gao will not be forgiving, and he will not be forgiving!" ”

"In the words of the saints." Yang Wei knew, "The minister misunderstood. ”

"Sit down." Chongzhen motioned for Yang Weizhi to sit back on the seat, and said, "Some Wenchen always thinks that he is very smart, and he just wants to see the wealth, but he has to drag others into the water, and one drag is 100,000 people, he thinks that if he drags 100,000 people into the water, there will be no trouble, after all, the law does not blame the public." ”

"Even if you are the emperor, you can still punish 100,000 people together?"

"Really, Lord Ding?" The last sentence was asked by Ding Kuichu.

"Bang dang." The wine bottle in Ding Kuichu's hand fell to the ground, but the person was stunned at the table.

Chongzhen snorted lightly and said, "But today, I want to blame the people with the law!" Not to mention just 100,000 people, even 1 million, 10 million people, I will also be punished! ”

"Imperial decrees are not ornaments."

"If you have sinned, you must be punished."

"No one is exempt, not even my prince!"

After saying this, he said sharply: "Da Ming Law, corruption and bribery of more than 60 will be punished by beheading and raiding the house!" ”

At this time, Ding Kuichu finally reacted, it was the matter of greedy Mo Sha Dingzhou and the wealth of the old village of Gelong, and the saint wanted to make a fuss about it.

"Holy one, the minister is guilty."

"Holy one, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty."

Ding Kuichu hurriedly knelt down from the seat and climbed to the center of the square.

"The minister should not be greedy for the stolen money of Mosha Dingzhou and the Gelong Lao Village, but the minister is a ghost for a while, and I hope that the saint will read it for the sake of the minister's contribution to the Ming Dynasty, and spare the minister this time."

"The stolen money obtained from the old village of Gelong, and the ministers have not touched a penny."

"If you turn back, you will let people hand in all the numbers, and they will never dare to hide their secrets."

"The ministers are also willing to hand over the stolen money in full." Seeing this, the leaders of the forty-eight departments also quickly climbed out and pleaded guilty.

The situation is stronger than people, at this time, it is not okay not to ask for guilt, it is better to leave here alive first, and wait until you return to the camp and gather more than 90,000 wolf soldiers in forty-eight departments, Lao Tzu Bird, you dog emperor is strange!

Chongzhen smiled and asked Ding Kuichu, "Dare to ask Lord Ding how much stolen money he is greedy for?" ”

Ding Kuichu said with a sad face: "Back to the saint, the minister has been greedy for a total of 160,000 taels of silver!" ”

"The ministers are also greedy for 160,000 taels!" The forty-eight heads also echoed it, this is a long time ago, once the East Window incident happened, they only confessed 160,000 taels of silver, and each person 250 pieces of gold and soft will not be handed over in death, anyway, there are not many people who know more than 10,000 pieces of fine and soft, and they are all confidants.

"160,000 taels, that's a lot." Chongzhen was stunned.

"Wait for the lake." Ding Kuichu wept bitterly and said, "I hope the Holy Lord will forgive." ”

"Holy Lord, don't believe Ding Kuichu's nonsense." Mu Tianbo was anxious, got up and pointed right, "In addition to more than 8 million taels of silver, Sha Dingzhou removed from the minister's treasury, and there are more than 10,000 pieces of gold and softness, which are worth at least 30 million taels of silver, of which there are more than 1,000 pieces of horseshoe gold. ”

Hearing this, the civilian and military generals present were secretly speechless.

More than 1,000 horseshoe gold, a hammer according to 50 catties and 800 taels, 1,000 pounds is 800,000 taels, just the horseshoe gold is worth almost 8 million taels of silver, not to mention other fine and soft.

The savings of the Qianguo Mansion for nearly three hundred years are indeed rich and rival the country.

Chongzhen asked Ding Kuichu: "Ding Kuichu, did you hear that?" ”

"I heard you." Ding Kuichu said first, "Sha Dingzhou may have really transported more than 10,000 pieces of gold from the Qianguo Mansion, but the ministers really didn't see it, and there are only more than 8 million taels of silver and treasures such as silk, ginseng, Shu brocade, Persian carpets and pepper in the old village, and there is nothing else. ”

"You're lying." Mu Tianbo said angrily, "The more than 10,000 pieces of fine soft are divided by you!" ”

"Categorically not." Ding Kuichu said, "Holy Lord, the ministers have really never seen this batch of gold soft. ”

"Ding Kuichu, you are really stubborn." Chongzhen shook his head and said, "But also, people die for money, birds die for food, and some people really don't care about anything for money." ”
