Chapter 184: Northern Yuan Secret Agent
"Your Majesty spares your life! Chancellor just... It's just..."
Wang An heard Zhu Yuanzhang's angry shouts, and immediately fell to the ground as if struck by lightning.
Although he didn't understand, the sentence of killing prisoners was unknown, how it could cause His Majesty to react so violently.
But this did not prevent him, kowtowing to Zhu Yuanzhang like pounding garlic and begging for mercy.
However.
The Han general, who listened to the order, did not give him a chance to continue begging for mercy.
dragged him out of the hall like a dead pig.
This move caused an uproar among the ministers.
I don't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang, who has never convicted his courtiers because of his words, is unknown today because of a sentence about killing prisoners.
threw a doctor who gave advice into the prison.
It's just that the ministers are worried and go to Wang An's footsteps.
For a while, no one dared to question Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior.
"Don't be alarmed."
Zhu Yuanzhang was still indifferent, looking at the courtiers with different expressions, and explained lightly:
"I'm not the kind of dumb king who is so stupid that he can't listen to the advice of his courtiers."
"It's that the Japanese invaders slaughtered my Ming people, if I don't kill them to avenge the people, what face do I have, facing all the people in the world?"
"If the killing of the prisoner is unknown, then let these ominous all take revenge on me!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Although the ministers were still a little unconvinced.
But they all knelt down and bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, why listen to the nonsense of the person who invited the name to buy the straight."
"They are like beasts, and to kill them is to eliminate harm for the people, how can there be ominous words?"
"Your Majesty's heart is the enmity of the innocent people, and it is the blessing of all the people in the world!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and did not answer.
Today, I will clean up this short-sighted imperial history.
It's just that he's knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Just imagine, one has nothing to do with guiding the Japanese to enter Yingtian, and only said an ominous imperial history of killing prisoners.
They were all dragged into prison.
Those officials and gentry who colluded with the Japanese and harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Yuanzhang finds out, what will happen to him?
In order to avoid the fate of the nine clans.
Come to think of it, these beast-like guys will definitely discuss countermeasures in tandem in private.
And this is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see.
I'm not afraid that they won't move, I'm afraid that these thieves are hiding too well.
In the future, when the pot is served, they will be missed.
……
Zhu Yuanzhang's will soon spread to the Gyeonggi Daying.
The soldiers who had been gearing up for a long time were vying to be the executioners of this execution.
In the end, the general in charge of punishment in the Gyeonggi battalion simply selected more than 800 soldiers.
A man cut off the head of a slave.
The craft of cutting off the head is almost fine, one knife will not die, and it is okay to have another knife.
Anyway, we can't let the Japanese die too easily!
And so.
Following the empty seal case and the Yangzhou fraud case.
Outside Yingtian City, there was a scene of hundreds of people being beheaded en masse.
However, this time it was not corrupt officials who were beheaded.
It is a Japanese coward who has long been in the hearts of the people, because rumors have planted the seeds of fear.
More than 800 pirates.
They were divided into nine rows and knelt down in front of the moat outside Yingtian City.
A merchant who had just arrived from outside.
Seeing so many people kneeling.
He couldn't help but be curious, and asked the people who were watching the excitement.
"Dare to ask this little brother, has there been another big case in the DPRK? How can so many people be beheaded? ”
The young man standing next to the merchant looked like a burly and fierce northern beard.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he didn't bother to answer his question at all.
The merchant was not angry when he was discriminated against, but hated his miscellaneous appearance.
He took out a few pieces of air-dried meat from the cargo on the mule's back.
With a smiling face, he handed it to the young man and said:
"Little brother, I don't want to look like this, but this is the face given by my ancestors, and I can't help it, so I asked my little brother to open Chrysostom and tell me what happened?"
The young man who was accosted didn't even turn his head.
Obviously, it is not a jerky that looks down on the merchants.
It was an old beggar who was joining in the fun, and he snatched the air-dried meat from the merchant's hand.
The old beggar chewed and said:
"Those who kneel are widows."
"They came to Daming to rob things, and they were beaten by a general surnamed Hu and lost their armor."
"Your Majesty said that their hands are stained with the blood of my Ming people, so even if they surrender, they can't be forgiven."
I have seen the murderous merchants of the Japanese and listened to the words of the old beggar as if they were a fantasy.
Disbelief, he asked rhetorically:
"So many people are widows? When did my army along the coast of the Ming Dynasty have such combat effectiveness? ”
"Rare and weird!"
The old beggar glanced at the merchant and tore a bag of mare's milk wine from his mule.
Taking a sip, he continued:
"The day before yesterday, when the Japanese prisoners entered the city, I listened to the guards who escorted me."
"The young general surnamed Hu, this time there are 1,000 people, and he has defeated more than 2,000 Japanese robbers head-on, and he has no casualties."
The more the merchant listened to the old beggar, the more outrageous it became.
He has seen the ferocity of the Japanese with his own eyes.
Even if the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty play against it, even if they can win, they will have to pay a lot of price.
How is it possible to win more with less, there have not been any casualties yet.
The merchant stretched out his hand to snatch back his mare's milk wine, and scolded in his mouth:
"You eat my air-dried meat, drink my mare's milk wine, and talk nonsense to deceive me!"
"Who lied to you, brute!"
The old beggar flashed behind him and swore to the sky.
"I'm not telling a lie, the reason why the young general surnamed Hu was able to crush the Japanese invaders."
"It's because they're equipped with a new weapon called the Wolf Monkey to restrain the Wolves!"
When Hu Yunqiang set off, although the sky was not yet fully bright.
However, there were still many passers-by who saw the weapons they were carrying when they went out.
Although the bird gun is also a new weapon, where can ordinary people recognize the difference between it and the traditional firearm.
It is a strangely shaped wolf that has attracted the attention of many people.
At that time, some people ridiculed them as bamboo pole soldiers, but they were slapped in the face before they arrived for half a day.
"Wolves? What a strange name, what kind of weapon is this? ”
The merchant saw the old beggar's oath and couldn't help believing his words.
But his heart was full of turbulent waves.
The Ming army was able to develop weapons to restrain the Japanese invaders.
That means that the equipment of the cavalry on the steppe can also be restrained.
"Your Majesty's dictation, the Japanese invaded my Daming Sea Frontier and killed my Daming people."
"All of them will be beheaded today, and the corpses will be violent, so as to set an example!"
Just when the merchant was secretly frightened.
The eunuch announced Zhu Yuanzhang's will.
The soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion, who had long been gearing up, raised their broadswords one after another.
Like chopping melons and vegetables, he slashed at the head of the widow who fell to his knees.
I just don't know if it's intentional, or if the soldiers' knife skills are too poor.
All the widows who knelt on the ground and waited for death were only half cut down with a knife.
Suddenly there was a wail by the moat.
Many of them were covered in blood, rolling on the ground in pain, and their appearance looked extremely miserable.
