While Yang Shiqi and his entourage were hurrying, there was a steady stream of people joining them.

There are civil officials at all levels wearing Ming official uniforms, military generals wearing armor, and exotic Mengyuan cavalry.

They have only one purpose, and that is the Alxa League, which is in rebellion.

Yu Yanzhao quickly sensed that something was wrong, saying that he was going to suppress the rebellion, but why were most of the people in the team civilian officials?

And there are many civil officials who are still their classmates, and they are naturalized cities that come with them.

"Lord Yang, can we scholars quell the chaos?"

Yang Shiqi smiled when he heard this.

"What do you say?"

Yu Yanzhao is still very self-aware, knowing that his group of people is not material for war at all, except for writing and calculating.

"My lord, let's still ask His Royal Highness King Heng to wait for His Royal Highness King Heng to send troops to quell the chaos!"

"Are you scared?"

"Although the lowly position is timid, there is still the heart to serve the country with his body, and the lowly position is only afraid of affecting the plans of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, causing the rebellion to spread......"

"Don't worry, we're enough."

"Enough?"

Yang Shiqi was full of confidence, but Yu Yanzhao heard it for a while.

There are also other people with big heads, those young people who came to Naturalization City with Yu Yanzhao and planned to devote themselves to the cause of the Ming Frontier.

They are not afraid of death, but they are not worth it for their fear of death.

Yang Shiqi and his entourage drove for five days and finally arrived at the Alxa League, and Yu Yanzhao and others also saw the demeanor of the first major alliance of naturalization for the first time.

In general, they were a little disappointed that the Alxa League only had a soil fence more than one person high, and there were only two city gates, one south and one north.

"My lord, this earth city is too short, right?"

"It's good to be small, you'll know when the siege is tomorrow......"

The rebels occupied the city gate, and when they saw Yang Shiqi and others rushing over, they hurriedly released arrows.

However, the distance was too far, and the arrow only shot half the distance before sticking crookedly into the ground.

Yu Yanzhao looked at the city wall and saw that there were only one hundred and ten people on the other side, and his heart finally let go of a few points.

Although there aren't many of them, they don't seem to be left behind when they really fight?

However, Yang Shiqi did not intend to attack the city, or did not plan to attack it now, but issued a very strange order.

"Each of them took a sergeant and went to various places to gather herdsmen to come and quell the chaos!"

"Huh?"

When they heard this, they were amazed.

"My lord, aren't the herdsmen the ones who rebel, let's call the herdsmen to quell the rebellion, and the herdsmen will take care of us?"

"You just have to go, it's their business whether you come or not!"

"No!"

To their surprise, the nearby herdsmen heard that they were going to quell the rebellion, and one by one they happily came with bows and arrows and rode horses.

In less than a day, they gathered more than 3,000 herders in the vicinity.

However, there are also some people who are reluctant to come, or say that they can't leave the house because they have too much work.

Yu Yanzhao and other new civil officials were angry, and they didn't dare to show it, so they could only bring people back stupidly.

Yang Shiqi took the roster of the Alxa League while counting the number of herdsmen who came to quell the rebellion, and drew a stroke on the roster for each person who came, until the camp gate was closed after dark, and no longer accepted the herdsmen who came in a hurry.

However, what made Yu Yanzhao and others feel strange was that after Yang Shiqi closed the camp gate, the herdsmen who didn't have time to enter the camp were like crazy, kneeling outside the camp and begging.

This made Yu Yanzhao wonder very much, is there any saying here?

Although Yu Yanzhao was very curious, he learned from his previous experience and did not rush to ask Yang Shiqi.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yang Shiqi ordered someone to bury the pot to make rice, after everyone finished eating, he first ordered someone to go to the edge of Tuweizi to persuade him to surrender, seeing that the other party was unmoved, he didn't bother to persuade again, and directly ordered someone to push out an artillery, and fired a cannon at Tuweizi, and immediately blew up a huge gap in Tuweizi.

This sudden cannon not only blew up the herdsmen inside and outside the camp, but also blew up the rebels in the city.

They never thought that the strong city in their eyes would not last a breath in the hands of the Ming people!

Yang Shiqi saw the artillery blasting open the earth city, and immediately smiled at Yu Yanzhao.

"This time, I know why I didn't build a big city, not to mention the cost and effort to build a big city, it's not easy to quell the chaos if there is a rebellion, hahaha!"

When Yu Yanzhao heard this, he could only slap his ass.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Yang Shiqi laughed when he heard this, and then ordered dozens of cavalry under his command to lead the team and take the herdsmen gathered here into the city to quell the chaos.

"Leave a few more alive!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Thirty regular cavalrymen, each leading a hundred and ten herdsmen, roared and rushed into the earthen city.

There are less than 200 rebels in Tucheng, who is the opponent of these people?

After the Ming elite slashed and killed several rebels, the others immediately surrendered on their knees.

It only took less than a stick of incense for Yang Shiqi to quell the rebellion of the Alxa League, dragged the rebels out of the earth city with their bound hands, and knelt in front of the city gate in a row.

Yang Shiqi led a group of civil officials to climb the city wall and lecture to the rebels and herdsmen below.

"Everyone has a credit for quelling the chaos this time!"

"Remember the merit once, award a piece of Shunmin card, hold this card can be in the grassland supply and marketing cooperatives to receive twenty pounds, ten cakes of tea."

As soon as Yang Shiqi said this, the herdsmen under the city wall who participated in the rebellion thundered with joy, shouting slogans such as long live the Ming Dynasty in strange tones.

The herdsmen who did not make it to the camp before dark knelt on the ground one by one.

Yang Shiqi saw that the voice below was a little quieter, and immediately sentenced those who failed to arrive at the camp in time.

"Those who were late yesterday will be fined fifty lashes each, and they will be executed immediately!"

When Yu Yanzhao heard that Yang Shiqi was so strict with the herdsmen of Mengyuan, his face turned pale with fright.

You must know that there are all Mengyuan people around, there are less than 100 of them in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than 60 civil officials who can only write and calculate.

If these Mengyuan people are forced to be in a hurry, the Mengyuan people can chop them into meat puree!

However, to the surprise of Yu Yanzhao and others, instead of being angry, the herdsmen who were heavily fined with fifty lashes kowtowed to thank them and praised Yang Shiqi's benevolence in unison.

"Isn't you a little curious, wondering why these herdsmen are grateful to me?"

"Yes!"

"The humble position is indeed very curious, it stands to reason that the people of Mengyuan are unruly, they shouldn't be so afraid of adults!"

Yang Shiqi snorted coldly when he heard this.

"It's true that the Mengyuan people are unruly, but it's also true that they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty."

"It's not me that they are afraid of, but my invincible iron horse!"

"In fact, the official is indeed merciful enough to them, and if there is a local rebellion according to the law established by the imperial court, if the herdsmen within a radius of five hundred miles should not summon those who put down the rebellion......"

"Slash!"

"Huh?"

Yu Yanzhao's heart trembled when he heard this, and a chill rose behind him.

There were hundreds of late herdsmen kneeling under the walls, could they really be beheaded?

"My lord, this is too strict, and Qin Fa is nothing more than that......"

Yang Shiqi sneered when he heard this.

"In troubled times, you should use heavy codes!"

"You can only treat these barbarians harshly, otherwise they don't know what it means to be a king!"

"However, today the official is really soft-hearted, and he has to explain to the court afterwards, asking the court to forgive the official's mistakes."

"This ......"

Before and after Yu Yanzhao came to Naturalization City, what he heard the most was the benevolence and righteousness of the imperial grandson, and the way of benevolence and righteousness to the people of the grassland.

But what he saw and heard today turned his perception a little subverted.

If you are just a little late, you will be beheaded, is this really benevolent?

The Alxa League only had 30 Ming cavalry, and they couldn't beat it at all, so they could only hand over the execution to other herdsmen.

The other herdsmen showed no mercy to their late compatriots, and in groups of five, they rolled the late herdsmen all over the ground, and their skin was opened.

If it weren't for the Ming cavalry on the side who was in charge of monitoring, they would have been able to whip the people lying on the ground to death!

The reason why they are so vicious has to say that the second system formulated by Zhang Zongjun has to be said.

All herdsmen who died due to crimes or violations of military orders were divided equally among their wives and daughters, cattle and sheep, and pastures.

It was on this basis that the herdsmen who executed them wanted to kill a few more, and then make their pastures bigger and more cattle and sheep.

Thousands of people were in charge of the executions, and hundreds of late herders were quickly beaten half to death.

Yang Shiqi saw that the fight was almost over, so he immediately called it off, and then began to interrogate the rebels.

"Why do you want to rebel?"

"But where is the Ming Imperial Court not waiting for you, and treating you badly?"

As soon as Yang Shiqi's words fell, a strong man under the city wall shouted loudly.

"My lord, it's not that we want to rebel, it's really the county that ordered Li Siqi to deceive people too much, not only deducting our money and food, but also forcing me to pay two more sheep per household every month!"

"You can report to your superiors when you encounter injustice, who gave you the courage to kill officials and rebel?"

"I waited for a reaction, but we were all stopped by Li Sitie, and he also threatened us, saying that if we dare to react, we will kill our whole family, and we have to rebel!"

"Humph!"

"Fallacy!"

"Li Sitie's own officials will send someone to investigate, but Dan Er and others violated the temporary management regulations of the Daming Grassland, killed officials and rebelled, defended themselves in the city, refused to surrender, and committed the heinous crime of death!"

"Come on, all those involved in the rebellion and their families will be killed!"

"Its cattle, sheep, and pasture are all confiscated, and they will be reorganized and distributed by the new county commander!"

"No!"

"My lord, we have wronged you......"

"Your Excellency, you can't do this, please let us live, woo woo woo ......"

Yang Shiqi was unmoved by the voice begging for mercy below, but calmly selected the executioner from the crowd.

In a few moments, he called out two hundred executioners from the roster and put them in charge of the execution.

When the first head was cut off, the civil officials on the city wall couldn't bear to close their eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi immediately shouted angrily.

"All eyes widen for the official!"

"If anyone dares to close his eyes again, the official will order whoever to be executed!"

When everyone heard Yang Shiqi's words, even if they were scared to death, they all opened their eyes.

But they did not dare to look at the bloody scene of beheading, but drifted their eyes into the distance.

But even so, the cries that came from time to time under the city walls still made them break their defenses.

Many people vomited on the city wall on the spot, and even those who did not vomit were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they closed their eyes tightly, not daring to look at the bloody scene below.

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi had a wicked smile on his face, but he was not forcing them to open their eyes.

Hundreds of heads were cut off quickly, just because there were not many knives with them when they came, and many of the big knives were cut and curled.

A few unlucky ghosts didn't kill them with a single knife, and they were stabbed several times before they died.

After Yang Shiqi put down the rebellion here, he preached the Ming law to the rest on the spot and appointed a new county order.

"Yu Yanzhao, from now on, you will be the county commander of the Alxa League, and more than 3,000 herdsmen here will be managed by you!"

"Huh?"

Yu Yanzhao never thought that he would become a county magistrate so soon.

If it is placed in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that the two Jinshi do not want to be county commanders!

No matter how bad it is, you have to be qualified to do so!

However, he is just a showman, so he can be a county magistrate?

"Lord Yang, ...... lowly position"

"Don't shirk, your ability is clear to the official, and you are qualified to serve as the county commander here!"

"Not ......"

"My lord, humble duty...... Fear of ......"

Yang Shiqi burst out laughing when he heard this.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Now that they are all afraid of being killed, even if someone forces them with a knife, they will not dare to rebel, you can rest assured that you will be the county magistrate here, as long as you don't persecute them too much, they will obediently obey the people."

"This ......"

Yu Yanzhao hesitated for a while when he heard this, to be honest, he was still a little excited about the position of county commander, but he was worried that his ability was not enough to suppress these Mengyuan herdsmen.

But Yang Shiqi's performance just now was too eye-catching, only with a group of them weak chickens, plus more than 30 cavalrymen, he dared to run thousands of miles away to quell the chaos, which shows that the people here are still very easy to manage.

"Since adults are important, then try to be humble?"

Yang Shiqi nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

"Good!"

"It's not in vain that I'm so attentive to you!"

"You will serve here in the future, and manage the people here for the Ming Dynasty."

"That's right!"

"According to the imperial court system, the place will be equipped with a telegram, and when the official returns to Guihua City, someone will be sent to deliver it."

"When you have a telegram, it's convenient to contact your brother and sister, hahaha......"

Yu Yanzhao saw a group of colleagues looking at him curiously, and he was ashamed and wanted to fall down from the city wall.

What a shame!

"My lord, what are you responsible for?"

"You only need to coordinate the distribution of pastures, the dispatch of supplies, herdsmen's disputes, the conscription of conscription, and assist the military in recruiting soldiers."

"Oooh......"

Yang Shiqi came and went quickly.

After briefly explaining to Yu Yanzhao how to carry out the work, he rushed back to Huacheng with a group of people on the same day.

Yu Yanzhao looked at the backs of Yang Shiqi and his party, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

What he saw and heard today shocked him too greatly, completely subverting his perception of the imperial court and the imperial grandson.

It turns out that the benevolence and righteousness of the imperial court are just shouting and playing, and the real governance of foreign races depends on violence!
