Chapter 141: Kill it!
The courtyard is deep, the pond frogs are chirping,
Wang Qi sat quietly behind his desk, still recovering from the shock.
For such a thing as a shot into the soul, Wang Qi has some psychological preparations, and has also had some psychological construction.
But that's the way it is, every time something comes to an end, I find it so unprepared, and it's trance-inducing.
After a while, Wang Qi exhaled heavily: In any case, this is his first flesh and blood in this life, and in a sense, the bloodline connected to his own underworld, which needs to be treated!
Thinking of this, Wang Qi looked at the table, on which a letter was already spread. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the pen and wrote the words, and he needed to arrange it in advance.
A letter was written to Wang Huazhen, the uncle of Shandong Buzheng, asking him to select more than 100 domestic slaves from the clan, half of the maids and servants, and go to Horqin to take care of Hailanzhu's living, whether they need it or not, this is the proper meaning, those maids and servants, who are willing to go to Horqin, will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and ten taels of silver will be given every month.
In fact, speaking of which, the mother's family and Wang Qi are not the same ancestor, with the respect of Lang Guogong, Wang Qi will inevitably be a major sect in the future, rebuilding the ancestral hall, taking a step back, now Wang Qi said that he wants to recognize half of his mother's family, who will say no?
The second letter Wang Qi wrote to the Horqin royal court, mainly to ask him to take care of his own women, and within three months, Wang Qi must go to the grassland again and take Hailanzhu back to the Central Plains.
As for the third letter, it is naturally addressed to Hai Lanzhu herself. Wang Qi hadn't written to the woman for a long time, his emotions were hard to pour, and he forgot to put pen to paper, after all, it was a passing of affection, mainly in the tone of the head of the family, ordering him to take care of himself, and it wouldn't take long to take him back.
"Someone!" After a while, Wang Qi sealed the letter, and then summoned his personal guards: "I will send someone out tonight, go back to Ningyuan City, and give it to Qin Erbao."
"Yes!"
After the guards left, Wang Qi sat silently in the study by himself, his hands folded, and his thumbs constantly entwined: bringing back Hai Lanzhu would inevitably cause the shock of the court and the anger of the royal family
Call!!!
After a while, Wang Qi's eyes became firm again, and he fought to the death step by step to the present, Wang Qi is not bound by others in order to do things for himself, in order to control his own destiny, and for himself he can temporarily endure it, but it involves his family, wife and daughter. You can't back down a single step. Whether it is the court or the Son of Heaven, when the time comes, it is time to test your own prestige and merits!
At this moment, the footsteps of Wang Shouxin outside the door hurriedly came.
"My lord, something is wrong!" Wang Shouxin's voice carried a hint of nervousness.
"What's the matter?" Wang Qi turned his head to look at the door.
"A large number of refugees made trouble, rushed into the military preparation and provincial government, and besieged the military preparation Taoist He and the chief soldier Shi Shien in the backyard firewood room and could not come out, and the envoy also hid in the back office and could not get out for a while!"
Refugee?
Wang Qi raised his eyebrows: "Bring two people, come with me to have a look." ”
"My lord, only two people?" Wang Shouxin's face was panicked, thousands of refugees gathered around the mansion, even if he brought more than 100 personal guards, Wang Shouxin was afraid that he would not be able to protect Wang Qi's safety.
Moreover, most of the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan were not in the city, and seven of them went to Ningyuan City to participate in the battle against Houjin.
"It doesn't matter, the refugees are also the people under the Ming Dynasty, and they are not Jurchens, they just want to live" Wang Qi got up, walked out of the door in a civilian robe, and behind him Wang Shouxin touched the long knife on his waist and hurriedly followed.
When it comes to kung fu, Wang Shouxin is no worse than Qin Erbao, but if you make a decision before the battle, you need to continue to learn and accumulate.
Moreover, Qin Erbao is now one of the top general-level figures in the entire Liaodong Army, and he can't always be a guard officer for Wang Qi, so that he can be independent and more promising.
Not long after, under the leadership of the small servants of Lord He's Mansion and the guards of He Mansion, Wang Qi came to the gate where he was besieged.
At this time, a red-faced sweater in a coarse cloth and blue coat was standing on a high place, surrounded by the crowd, raising his right hand, and loudly commanding and preaching to the refugees, and there were three or four accomplices standing behind him: "Don't be afraid, folks, the bigger the trouble, the more afraid those who are in charge will be, and the more we will gain when the time comes!" The more food! Folks, don't flinch, rush into the government with me in a while, slaughter the dog official, and when the time comes, the court will be Zhao'an, and give us a magistrate! Kill officials and grab food, do the right thing for heaven! ”
"Kill officials and grab food, do the right thing for heaven!"
"Do the right thing for heaven!"
Most of the people don't know what to do for heaven, they only hear the food from the man's mouth, and if there is food, there will be a way to live, so that they don't have to sell their sons and daughters, they don't have to be slaves, they can see the sun tomorrow, and as for what will happen after that, how can they have any mind and strength to think about it?
Almost all the ragged refugees were surrounded and held hostage and rushed towards the palace.
Obviously, these people are all refugees from Liaodong!
Because of the southern invasion of Jin, millions of Liaodong people crossed the Shanhaiguan with their families and went south to enter the customs, but these days, with the gradual improvement of the situation in Liaodong, many people began to return to Liaodong, but there are more people who have become displaced people and refugees, in Gyeonggi, in the Shanhaiguan generation, in the Jiaodong generation wandering and wandering, becoming a potential risk factor.
Xiao Wu and several soldiers almost used all their strength, pushing the refugees while opening the way for Wang Qi.
"Lang Guo Gong has arrived!"
As the roll call began, the crowd of onlookers and the troublemakers also stopped.
"Lang Guogong has arrived? Is it the Chief Soldier? ”
"Liaodong General Army?"
"Silence! It is a Ming martial arts. ”
Almost counting the time, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Wang Qi.
Few people have seen the Daming martial arts, but everyone has heard of Wang Qi's name and knows Wang Qi's exploits.
The innumerable number of ancestral halls in Gyeonggi is a fact.
"Grandpa Guo?" The man in the blue coat naturally saw Wang Qi as well, but his expression seemed to be more and more arrogant and fearless:
"That's right, your grandfather is here today, to comment on the reasoning, thanks to the blessing of your grandfather of the Ming Kingdom, now the chaos in Liaodong has just stopped, but I haven't seen the way of life of the people, hundreds of people starved to death on the road, selling their sons and daughters, and even changing their children to eat! But what about here? Mountains of grain are piled up in the granaries here! Why not help the victims? Why not stabilize food prices? Why can this dog official be able to have more than 100 bowls per meal, and the meals are not the same? Such a dog official, should he be killed? ”
The man sneered and looked at Wang Qi: "Grandpa Guo!" You, give a review today! ”
The surrounding people automatically let a passage come out, Wang Qi took three guards, stepped forward slowly, first looked at the surrounding homeless people, and then looked at He Tianyou, who had been beaten and bruised, and said with a smile: "If it is as you say, it should indeed be killed." ”
"Hey, then," the red-faced man immediately answered.
"However, killing him is a matter for the court, and if he dies today, the rest of the people will not be guilty! Today I will kill you! Wang Qi opened his mouth, blocked the man's words, and then stared at him and asked, "Are you from Liaodong?" ”
The man was forced by Wang Qi's momentum, and almost subconsciously said: "A certain person is from Fushun in Liaodong"
"All the way from Fushun, fled to Shenyang, from Shenyang to Liaoyang, then to Haizhou, crossed the Liao River, to Guangning, crossed the Great and Small Ling River, to Ningyuan City, and finally escaped from Shanhaiguan, entered the customs and became a homeless person, so it seems that he was almost chased all the way by Houjin. I've worked hard for you. Wang Qi looked sarcastic, did not give him a chance to argue, and continued: "There are many people in the imperial court who died in Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of soldiers buried their bones in other places, died on the battlefield, and shrouded in horse leather."
"I'm not a court soldier! Somewhere." The big man was agitated, and didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he waved his hand directly to continue to instigate the people to grab food.
"The war in Liaodong has not stopped, you can't wait to serve the country, and you are still gathering people here to make trouble, grabbing food and killing officials," Wang Qi suddenly turned cold in anticipation, and drank: "Wang Shouxin!" ”
"The last general!"
"Chop!"
"What? You dare not make trouble, you just want to do it for the people" The red-faced man still wanted to struggle for something, but Wang Shouxin's knife was too fast.
Flutter!
In front of everyone's eyes, a white light flashed, and almost no one reacted.
With a thud, the big head rolled to the ground.
Grunting, with blood stains, rolled all the way to the yamen, rolled to the feet of the troublesome people.
The scene was silent, and no one expected Wang Qi to cut off the man's head in front of everyone.
"Grandpa Guo, if you come one step too late, the last general will be beaten to death by them!" He Tianyou finally came to his senses at this moment, and there was no good skin on his body that was beaten, and he was about to stand up.
"The people in the jurisdiction have changed their minds, resulting in instability among the people, and the dereliction of duty in the military preparation will also be beheaded!" Wang Qi turned his head and looked at He Tianyou: "You can go too!" ”
"Huh?" He Tianyou almost reacted in an instant, but when he saw Wang Shouxin coming over with a knife, he immediately died: "My lord, spare my life!" ”
Poof!!
Blood spurted all over the ground, and the bloody qi immediately permeated the surroundings.
The whole scene, for a moment, was dead silent.
No one dared to step forward, no one dared to speak for the dead.
No one dared to look directly into Wang Qi's gaze anymore.
After a few breaths, a rebel who led the troubles died, and an official who was the culprit died.
As everyone can see, Wang Qi's methods are too ruthless.
However, it is also the fastest way, the fastest way to quell the incident.
"Go and bring Shi Shien here," Wang Qi wiped his hands with a brocade hand, and asked someone to bring another principal from Shanhaiguan.
Not long after, Shi Shien, who was like a puddle of mud, was dragged over by Wang Qi's personal guards.
"Big big grandfather, small wronged!" Shi Shien was almost frightened, and when he saw the headless corpse on the side, he almost fainted.
"Give you a day, open a warehouse and release grain, and at the same time cancel the customs clearance procedures and checkpoints, so that the people who intend to return to Liaodong can return to Liaodong as soon as possible, and don't stay here" Wang Qi pointed his finger at He Tianyou's corpse on the side: "If there is another civil uprising, this will be the end!" ”
"Xiaguan. Xia Guan knows! Xia Guan understands! Do it now, do it! Shi Shien heard that Wang Qi was not going to cut himself, so he immediately kowtowed on his stomach to thank him, and then got up directly and took a few of his guards to the direction of the granary.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Dear colleagues, brothers! Wang Qi walked up to a high place, looked at the people around him, and said loudly: "Wang is here to confess!" Although the situation in Liaodong is a little peaceful, but the people and other people, colleagues are still starving outside, uprooted from their hometowns, the imperial court failed to provide timely relief to the victims, the local officials failed to open the warehouse in time to release grain, and the township sages and chiefs failed to receive help, all of which are inappropriate, Wang hereby assures you that after returning to the imperial court, he will report this matter to the emperor and the prime minister, and give you an explanation."
The god-like commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
You are the great Ming martial arts song of the national prince.
The imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty, the future of the horse.
He bowed down to a group of ragged grass people, and it seemed that he would be responsible to the end
This act directly moved the people around who were originally angry.
One by one, they knelt on the ground, chanting Lord Qingtian, Daming Wuqu.
The people have always been blind, and whoever has a loud voice listens to whomever they want, whether it is right or wrong, or they cannot distinguish between right and wrong at all.
Wang Qi didn't want to distinguish who was right and who was wrong, so he could only cut through the chaos with a quick knife and behead the two leaders, and the rest of the rabble could talk.
But
Looking at the people around him, Wang Qi felt that he might really be able to do something when he returned to Beijing this time.
After all, the external worries are temporarily resolved, but the internal strife is far from beginning.
In the final analysis, the peasant army that rises and falls, and the inexhaustible annihilation, is the biggest enemy of the future Ming Dynasty.
It took about an hour for the displaced people gathered in Guannai and on the verge of rioting to be evacuated by Wang Qi, and taking advantage of this gap, the officials and troops outside the city had also arrived, at least in the near future, there would be no more homeless rebellion.
"My lord, the prince is here to pay a visit!" As soon as Wang Qi returned to the courtyard, Wang Tiqian came to pay a visit.
The situation was chaotic, Wang Tiqian was blocked in the hall, but fortunately, there were more than 100 guards to protect him, so there was no accident, but this matter also scared the prince a lot!
"Thank you, Grandpa Guo! If you hadn't gone out in time, if you let the traitors and bandits rise up, tonight, my family's little life will probably have to be explained here! Wang Tiqian gently patted his chest with his hand, his face was still pale.
"Father-in-law, sit down, I'm afraid I can't eat tonight's dinner, I asked someone to cook porridge, do you want to taste a bowl of father-in-law?" Wang Qi sat there and stretched out his hand to invite Wang Tiqian to sit down.
"Our family can't eat, it's good to be able to fall asleep tonight," Wang Tiqian waved his hand, laughed dryly, rejected Wang Qi's kindness, and then bowed, and said: "It's just that our family has a question, and I hope that Grandpa Guo will solve it." ”
"Please," Wang Qi nodded slightly.
"Why do you need to let He Tianyou die?" Wang Tiqian looked at Wang Qi, as if he was afraid that Wang Qi would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained: "Our family just thinks that it is a fourth-grade life official, so it is cut like this, our family wants to have a pair of calibers with adults, and it is good to return to life, right?" ”
"As the deputy envoy of the inspection, the displaced people under his jurisdiction are in turmoil, and there is almost a direction of chaos, Shanhaiguan is an important place on the border of Liaodong, and in order to calm the hearts of the people, kill them to set an example, this reason should be enough, right?" Wang Qi had already picked up a small bowl of meat porridge at this time and drank it deliciously.
"Uh," Wang Tiqian hesitated.
"Donglin Party members?" Wang Qi put down the porridge bowl, a little puzzled.
"He is a veteran of Donglin and a student of Gao Panlong"
"Then death will be death."
