Chang Guowei's camp was near the left of Guanhaiwei, and when he saw that the Jiangxi Army and Shaoxingwei suddenly surrounded Guanhaiwei, Chang Guowei and the other generals were shocked, thinking that Xu Jin was going to settle accounts after the autumn and investigate the crime of passive slacking off before.

The commander of Chang Guowei made Lu Yang so frightened that he was restless, and hurriedly ordered a hundred households under his command to go to the Jiangxi army to inquire about the news. This hundred-hundred-household is precisely Yu Liang, who was in charge of transporting the loot to the Jiangxi Military Academy yesterday. It is said that this Yu Baihu is obviously not treated by the top officials, and he is sent to do everything that is humiliating and risky, and these little shoes are properly worn.

Besides, Lu Yang and other military attachés of Changguowei waited anxiously in the camp tent for two teas, and the remaining hundred households who inquired about the news finally came back and reported with a gasp: "The subordinates have found the more than 100 households of the Jiangxi Army to inquire clearly, Shaoxingwei killed more than 160 people of good people, and cut off the man's head for meritorious service, a total of 96 levels. The marshal was very angry and ordered all the Shaoxing guards to be arrested. ”

Chang Guowei and the other military attaches were shocked when they heard this, but they also breathed a sigh of relief, since the marshal was not pursuing the crime of passive sabotage, then there was nothing to do with Chang Guowei, tsk, those guys in Guanhaiwei were also blinded by lard, and they actually did such a foolish thing as killing good people and risking their merits, and now they estimated that they would have to lose their lives.

Soon, Guan Haiwei was arrested and controlled, from the commander Huawu to the ordinary soldiers. Because Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong controlled all the officers of Guanhaiwei with lightning speed, the whole process was very smooth, and those lower-level soldiers were intimidated by the might of the five hundred battalions, and they all obediently disarmed and captured, so there was no fighting and rioting.

There was such a big movement, and the news of Guanhaiwei's killing of Liang and his exploits naturally spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the entire Ningbo Fucheng, and the whole city was instantly sensational, from the gentry to the common people, all of whom poked their fingers and scolded them. Some scholars even gathered in front of the governor's office to sit in and petition, strongly demanding that Xu Jin kill Guanhaiwei and other officers, and also give justice to the tragic death of the people.

It's outrageous to kill a good person and risk a meritorious person, and who doesn't worry that this kind of thing will happen to them or their relatives and friends one day?

On the eighth day of August in the second year of Jiajing, the sky was overcast, and under a dirt slope outside the east gate of Ningbo Fucheng, the bleak autumn wind swept through the autumn grass that had been dyed with a layer of light frost, making a rustling sound, and the atmosphere was somber and solemn.

Xu Jin and Xia Yan sat on the makeshift prison platform, their faces as spoofed as the autumn wind.

At the foot of the dirt slope, a group of officers and soldiers of Guanhaiwei led by Guanhaiwei commander Hua Wu, commander Tongzhi Zhang Jun, and commander Hou Renjie, a total of 1,684 people, all fell to their knees on the ground.

After examination, it was found that these 1,684 soldiers were directly involved in the killing of the people, and Xu Jin was sentenced to beheading, while eight high-ranking officers, including the commander Huawu, the commander Zhang Jun, and the commander Hou Renjie, were all sentenced to be beheaded.

In addition, there were also 897 Japanese thieves who were executed today, which means that Xu Jin had to cut off a total of 2,581 heads today. Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 150 years, this can definitely be regarded as a big deal, so after today, Xu Jin estimates that he has confirmed the nickname of "Xu Cutting His Head".

More than 2,000 condemned prisoners knelt down at the foot of the dirt slope, and some people wept bitterly, some begged for mercy loudly, and some directly urinated, but the onlookers did not sympathize, whether it was a robor or a thief, or an officer and soldier who killed good people and made meritorious deeds, all of them should be killed!!!

With the passage of time, more and more people came to watch the execution, thousands of heads surged around the execution ground, and the dirt slope was even more crowded with people, and it is estimated that the entire Ningbo Mansion is now empty. After all, the scene of cutting off 2,600 heads at one time is rare in a hundred years, and even the faint of heart don't want to miss it.

Xu Jin sat behind the desk in a cyan five-grade official robe, took out his pocket watch with a cold face, and then said lightly: "Lord Xia, let's start!" ”

Xia Yan nodded, took the roster on the case, stood up and read out the name of the condemned prisoner aloud, and for each one, the executioner verified the identity, and Xia Yan circled the prisoner's name with a red pen.

Two hours later, Xia Yan closed the roster and presented it to Xu Jin, and reported in a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency, a total of 2,581 death row inmates have been verified. ”

Xu Jin nodded, took the roster seal, and then quietly waited for the three o'clock in the afternoon to come.

The impact of Guanhaiwei's killing of good and risky merit is too bad, and this unhealthy trend must be resolutely killed, otherwise this kind of incident will not be poor in the future, after all, wealth is moving, and there will always be dizzy guys who take risks. So in just three days, Xu Jin decisively ordered the execution of more than 2,500 people, one to kill chickens and monkeys, and the other to calm down the people's anger.

The autumn wind dispelled the clouds in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight shone down, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Jin took the order and threw it under the prison beheading stage, and said lightly: "Chop!" ”

A group of pro-soldiers shouted murderously: "- Cut!" ”

More than 2,000 Changguo guards who served as executioners raised their waist knives awe-inspiringly, and the blades that stood in the forest set off a chill, and the dazzling sunlight was also dimmed.

Brush......

The sword light fell, blood poured out, and more than 2,500 heads rolled down to the dust in unison.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were dead silent, except for the rustle of the autumn wind sweeping through the dead grass. Present, both the people and the officers and soldiers were shocked by the terrifying scene, and there was silence for a long time, and only then did the sound of gasping cold air sound sounded in all directions.

Xu Jin flicked his sleeves and stood up, and shouted loudly: "Those who fornicate with thieves will be killed, those who slaughter soldiers and civilians will be killed, and those who will kill good and impostored merit will be killed!" ”

The officials and gentry present were terrified, and the officers and men were terrified, especially those ruffians who had tried to kill good people and make meritorious deeds, and they were all frightened at this time.

"Sacrifice the flag!" Xu Jin then shouted, and a handsome flag with the word "Xu" in red on a black background was raised high in the sky above the court.

On this field full of heads and blood, Xu Jin sacrificed the flag and ordered Yu Dayou and Chang Guowei to wave their troops to recover Fenghua County, and ordered the Jiangxi Army and Shaoxing Wei to send troops to Dinghai County, and 500 battalions stayed in Ningbo as the Chinese army.

At that moment, the army divided into two routes, stepped on the blood all over the ground, and drove to the front line in a mighty way.

Song Dayan knelt beside the road in the Dharma field and burst into tears, shouting three times that the sky has eyes, and then he fainted to death.

Xu Jin was about to collect the team and return to the city, and when he saw this, he ordered Zhao Datou to send someone to drive Song Dayan back to the city. ()
