Chapter 175: A Rare Scene
Seeing Naragawa's vow, Cai Jiayi gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can keep your promises." ”
With that, he glanced at Fang Liu next to him.
Fang Liu understood, and hurriedly turned around and ran into the city.
After a while, he walked out with people escorting nearly 100 grain trucks.
Naragawa's eyes lit up, and he took out a dagger and broke open a sack.
Suddenly, the grains of rice poured down like white flowers.
He hurriedly caught it with his hand and carefully put it in his pocket, trying not to waste a little food.
"Good, good!"
Naragawa patted Cai Jiayi's shoulder heavily and beckoned.
Dozens of knights behind him suddenly rushed forward.
He suddenly changed color and said: "Come on, this cadre and others are fornicating with the Japanese and others, eating inside and out, the crime is extremely heinous, the evidence is conclusive, give me all the take!" ”
The next moment, when Cai Jiayi and the others came back to their senses, they found that dozens of steel knives had been placed on their necks.
"You, who the hell are you?"
"Li Changhe, a thousand households of Zhejiang Sailors, is ordered by the governor Jiang to arrest the criminals!"
Cai Jiayi's face was like ashes, but he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.
At this time, the canyon outside the city.
After Qin Wenchang killed Liu You, he withdrew the ambush as quickly as possible, ran down the mountain, and knelt down in front of the army to plead guilty.
Jiang Ning understood the reason and helped him up with a smile:
"This official originally thought that the Fujian army was rotten from top to bottom, but he didn't expect that there would be loyal people like General Qin."
Qin Wenchang said ashamedly: "The lower official is ashamed, obeyed a false order, and almost assassinated the adult, and he really deserves death." Please also punish the sins! ”
Seeing that he was about to kneel down again, Jiang Ning hurriedly grabbed him and said:
"It is no wonder that those who don't know are not surprised, a talent like General Qin is a clear stream among officials of all sizes in Fujian.
If this official even wants to punish you, wouldn't it seem too narrow-minded?
Haha, don't blame yourself anymore, when the time comes, how much will the official use you, hurry up. ”
Qin Wenchang's face was full of emotion, and he suddenly changed color and said: "My lord, Cai Jiayi and the others are going to attack you at the end of their lives, and they may have had an affair with the Japanese Kou early." ”
Jiang Ning patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:
"I have already found out about this matter, and I also expected that they might know about it, so the dog jumped under the wall and sent people to intercept and kill, so most of the men and horses marched to relax the vigilance of their peers, and sent people to take the waterway in advance, disguised as a widow to arrest him.
As long as the evidence is conclusive, none of them can escape.
I think it's almost now, you can go into the city with me and rectify this Fujian political envoy! ”
"The adults are clever, and the end will admire it."
Qin Wenchang looked at the artillery that the army had set up earlier, as well as the army that was waiting for battle, and was shocked into a cold sweat.
The Fujian army has been repeatedly embezzled because of military spending, and the ordnance can be said to be rotten.
It took a patchwork to get more than a dozen decent guns, but the firepower was still weak, far less than the large heavy artillery used to siege the city.
But if he didn't notice anything unusual and ordered the cannon to fire, they would only have died when they were fired back.
Two hours later, Jiangning entered Fuzhou City, and in the name of the governor and Qincha, he took over the military and political power of Fujian.
In the next few days, he first ordered all the troops in Fujian to rush to Fuzhou City immediately, met with the political envoys and officials of Fuzhou Prefecture, and sorted out all relevant government affairs.
What he didn't expect was that most people didn't know anything, and they had to ask their own staff masters and other subordinate officials.
Jiang Ning was furious, and immediately asked the inner factory to thoroughly investigate the private affairs behind these pickles.
As soon as it is ascertained, it is taken immediately.
If the culpability is serious, it will be imprisoned.
For a time, the mountains in Fuzhou City were shaking, and there was no official who was not arrested and imprisoned all the time.
On this day, tens of thousands of horses and horses from various departments of Fujian arrived at the city of Fuzhou, and after the generals settled the army, they entered the city with their own soldiers.
When Jiang Ning received the news, he was relieved to see that they did not have the intention of mutiny, but were very obedient.
Although he had already arranged the city defense and made a lot of preparations, he could not fight or not.
Otherwise, it will only be the people of Fujian who will suffer.
Subsequently, Jiang Ningshengtang summoned the generals and officials, as well as a small number of remaining civil officials who were still clean.
It is worth mentioning that although the Fujian Navy Division is all eroded, the large and small guards are barely okay.
Except for a few generals who were in cahoots with Du Tong, although the rest of the generals were corrupt and incompetent, at least they did not fornicate with the Japanese people.
For that alone, they don't have to die.
Otherwise, the entire Fujian military and political officials will be completely killed.
"Alright, everyone is here today.
I now announce the edict ......"
Jiang Ning beckoned, and a subordinate general stepped forward and read out a series of charges of Cai Jiayi, Fang Liu and others fornicating with the Japanese and murdering Qincha, and sentenced Ling Chi to death.
For those civilian and military generals who were taken down and imprisoned, according to their respective crimes, they should be beheaded and beheaded, and their homes should be confiscated.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning reorganized the appointment of officials of the Fujian Political Envoy Department and ordered them to temporarily take charge of important military and political affairs.
After the Ming court is obtained, he will officially take office.
Among them, Jiang Ning himself temporarily acted as the political envoy of Fujian, and the power was firmly in his hands.
He also ordered Qin Wenchang to be the commander of the capital of Quandu, that is, to temporarily replace him, and to be in charge of thousands of households in various places in Fujian, with a total of 70,000 troops.
The rotten sailors in Fujian were handed over to Li Changhe to take over, and he was appointed as the commander of the Fujian Navy, rectifying the military discipline of the navy division and training new soldiers.
In the end, Jiang Ning personally issued a new defense order for the Fujian water and land passes, as well as the military tasks to be achieved by the soldiers and horses of various units.
A group of civilian, military and military generals listened carefully, and did not dare to complain even after two or three hours.
They knew that their survival depended on the mercy of the Lord.
I was in awe in my heart, how dare I raise any objections.
That's a real death!
"Do you all know what you're responsible for?"
Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and looked directly at the officials present with a sharp gaze.
Everyone looked awe-inspired, and responded in unison: "Don't disappoint your adults." ”
"Very good, the decline of the Japanese is becoming more and more obvious, and there are thousands of old and weak family members wandering along the coast.
At such a critical juncture, you should not be slack, otherwise you may not see your colleagues being rewarded by the imperial court. ”
"Obey your lordship!"
Everyone did not dare to breathe, and they bowed cautiously.
"Yes, it is necessary to have this spirit.
Now you go down, and when you have time, go to the vegetable market to take a look, your predecessor, Lord Cai, and they are being executed there.
The scene of dozens of people at the same time must be quite interesting.
For this, the official also specially recruited capable people with superb knife skills and good at solving cattle, and must require them to cut one thousand and fifty-eight knives. ”
In the end, Jiang Ning's eyes were full of irrepressible murderous aura.
Because this number is exactly the number of the thousand-man team that was completely wiped out.
"By the way, in addition, there are more than 200 large and small officials beheading together, and you have all seen it.
Such a huge scene has not been seen since Taizong punished the ten clans of filial piety in the past.
Hehe, I think I can still see my colleagues who have been friends in the past, and it can be regarded as sending them off for the last time. ”
Hearing this, all the officials turned pale and their bodies trembled.
Rao is generals who led the troops to fight were also in a cold sweat, afraid that they would become one of them.
After coming out of the yamen, they supported each other because of their weak legs, and came to the entrance of the vegetable market with difficulty, looking at the scene of blood flowing in front of them, like an underworld.
Cai Jiayi has been slashed more than 700 times now, and he is already angry, and he may choke his breath at any time.
However, there was also an Xinglin Holy Hand standing next to him to stop the bleeding and heal, ensuring that he could survive until the last knife.
Seeing this scene, many elderly officials fainted directly.
The onlookers were shouting and cheering.
They also hate this kind of traitor who secretly communicates with the Japanese bandits!
this day.
Jiang Ning was in the study in the backyard of the political envoy's yamen, buried in the official affairs of the mountain.
In order to achieve the fastest administrative efficiency, he deliberately merged a series of government offices, including the Judicial Division, the Metropolitan Command Embassy Division, and the Fuzhou Prefect's Yamen, into one office.
It's so busy that I'm dizzy.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Occasionally resting, he would subconsciously think of He Yuyao.
If she were, he wouldn't have been so tired.
The group of officials who were frightened by Jiang Ning also abandoned their procrastination style in the past, only slept for two and a half hours a day, and spent the rest of the time dealing with government affairs except for eating and relieving their hands.
I was really afraid that I would be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market.
The blood there hasn't cleared yet.
"My lord, Kurusuke Suzuki has news."
Qin Wenchang hurriedly walked into the lobby.
Jiang Ning raised his head and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Since Suzuki Kurusuke received eight warships, he led his four or five thousand Japanese to slowly retreat to the sea, and began to look for new hiding places on various islands, thinking that he was preparing to dominate the sea."
Jiang Ning frowned: "The East China Sea is almost occupied by the four major pirates, where can he go?" Penghu, or Yizhou, or even continue south to the South Seas? ”
