Chapter 216: Zhu Youzhen's disbelief
When Li Qiyuan heard this, his eyes showed a little helplessness, but he still chose to arch his hand at Hui Shiyang, and then retreated.
He, Li Qiyuan, knew what it would be like to let Jingying make a move, but he had no conscience in order to keep his position.
As long as Jingying makes a move, where is the recruitment of strong men, it is simply a robbery of strong men, whether people want to or not, anyway, you are a seed to be a soldier, then you have to go with others honestly.
As soon as Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, left, Hui Shiyang couldn't help but open the thirteen boxes in person, and they were really jeweled and brilliant.
Today's Hui Shiyang has made a lot of money, and when he thinks that after these crises have passed, he will be able to grasp the imperial court and grasp the direction of the Ming Dynasty like Zhang Juzheng, and he will gradually become intoxicated.
"Someone, take my name card and tell Cheng Guogong that he will send soldiers to recruit strong men, this matter is related to the defense of the capital, so he must not delay."
When his name went to Cheng Guogong, Cheng Guogong was very dissatisfied after hearing the key to this.
Such a big matter, this Hui Shiyang just sent a housekeeper to tell him, and he was not even willing to come to the door in person, which was indeed a little disrespectful to him.
But this Hui Shiyang is really right about one thing, whether he can recruit enough strong men has a lot to do with whether the defense of the capital is safe.
Zhu Chunchen ordered that as soon as these officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion heard such a task, they rushed frantically on the spot.
One or two hundred thousand soldiers of the Beijing camp left the Beijing camp under the leadership of their respective officers and entered the houses everywhere to recruit strong men.
Such a task is simply to send them money, and the doors of the people one after another were kicked open by the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
The soldiers broke into the houses everywhere, and the first thing they said was: "The thieves are coming, and the court needs the help of the people to defend the city." Each household needs to produce a strong man, if you can pay 20 taels of silver, you can avoid this thing, if there is no silver taels, people must take away. ”
A large number of people were taken away, and there were also a large number of powerful merchants and wealthy families, who could only be forced to give up silver taels.
By the time the 10,000 soldiers brought the captured Zhuang Ding back to the Beijing camp, the silver taels in their pockets could no longer be stuffed, and the so-called ten taels of silver could exempt the Zhuang Ding from the task, which was nothing at all, and they said this just to collect money.
After the 10,000 troops returned to the Beijing camp, the next batch of 10,000 troops immediately left the Beijing camp.
The capital city once again won the catastrophe on this day, and the soldiers of the capital camp once again unleashed their fangs, showing their squalor and ugliness, and became unevil.
On this day, there were no less than 300 women who hanged themselves in the capital, and the people of the entire capital hated the soldiers of the Beijing camp to the bone.
Millions of people live in the whole capital, and some of them always have eggs, and in the afternoon of the same day, the cruel practices of the soldiers of the Beijing camp still caused trouble, and a butcher of a butcher shop took his pig-killing knife and slaughtered two soldiers of the Beijing camp who were about to do something to his wife.
The people of an alley, there were hundreds of soldiers, led by the butcher, who began to attack.
In less than an hour, the shouts of killing shook the whole city, and dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp were killed.
And more soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed over. He began to set fire to the people, waving his sword in his hand and slashing at the heads of these people who resisted.
After two hours, the entire street was covered with blood, and this matter was quickly reported to Cheng Guogong.
When Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, heard this, he kicked over the stool in front of him, and even broke the beloved vase next to him with a wave of his hand.
Now they have only recruited more than 18,000 strong men, and the people in the city have already rebelled by hundreds of people, and if he continues to recruit strong men, it is not known how far the situation will develop.
But if he doesn't recruit soldiers, what about defending the city?
At this time, Hui Shiyang also rushed over, looking at the vase all over the ground, and knew that Cheng Guogong had just gone crazy.
But he didn't care so much now, and asked directly: "Cheng Guogong, I'm afraid that this strong man can't continue to recruit, if he continues to recruit, the people will definitely set off a larger-scale resistance." ”
"I'm afraid that by then, the enemy outside will not be able to come, and we will already be in chaos in the capital, and we will have to send more troops to participate in the pacification of the civil strife, and it will be even more dangerous at that time."
"We are now combining the strong men who are unwilling to help us defend the city, which is a hidden danger in itself."
Cheng Guogong didn't understand such a truth, he just sighed and said, "It seems that this matter can only be done like this, fortunately, we already have more than 50,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, plus more than 18,000 strong men, it is barely enough." ”
When there was all kinds of turmoil in the city, those shouts of killing shook the sky, as long as Zhu Youzhen was not a deaf person, of course he could hear such shouts and killings.
Zhu Youzhen felt a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly brought Wang Chengen over, "Wang Ban, what happened in this capital?" Why is there a sword war in the city now? But the royal brother's army has already entered the city? ”
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen's panicked expression, and even a little hoarse voice, and was very sympathetic in his heart.
Recently, Zhu Youzhen's pressure is too great.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, it was just a small upheaval, and some people who did not want to participate in the defense of the city gathered, probably a few hundred people, who were armed with kitchen knives, hoes, or wooden sticks to resist being recruited as strong men."
"But Your Majesty, rest assured, those hundreds of thieves have all been ambushed, and there is no other trouble in this city."
Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he looked at Wang Chengen in disbelief, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"What were you talking about? Do you mean that the people of this city are not willing to go up against the army of these royal brothers, do they want the royal brother to come back and become emperor? Knowing this, are they not willing to make the slightest sacrifice? ”
When Wang Chengen heard this, he didn't know how to answer Zhu Youzhen, but he only knew that Zhu Youzhen must be very broken in his heart now.
Because there are hundreds of thousands of people in Shuntianfu, Zhu Youzhen feels that with his reputation among the people, it is much better than the reputation of Zhu Youxiao's faint king.
Now they want to recruit 100,000 strong men in the capital, and it stands to reason that it is a simple matter.
But Zhu Youzhen couldn't have imagined that the people were not only unwilling to cooperate, but also made a rebellion?
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
