Chapter 69: Ling Chi Wu Sangui

Wu Sangui and the three of them were all dragged to the school ground, the former was because he was tortured too much, there was no good meat on his legs, and he couldn't walk, and Tan Hong was not much better.

And Wu Zhimao was completely frightened, he didn't have much ability, but because he was from Wu Sangui's own family, coupled with his first-class skills, he got the position of general.

"The criminal officials Wu Sangui, Tan Hong, and Wu Zhimao were corrupt and perverted the law, and they did not think about the danger of the imperial court, and deducted the salaries of the soldiers.

For the generals, the upper does not know how to sympathize with the difficulties of the country and repay the emperor's kindness, and the lower cannot comfort the soldiers to appease the people, bold and reckless, and the people and gods are angry.

This official inherited the emperor's order, and with the right to act cheaply, he specially sentenced three people to be executed by Ling Chi to set an example! ”

Hearing Liu Hongji's sentence, the soldiers below gasped, although they were very angry when they learned that their military salaries were not not given by the imperial court, but were deducted by Wu Gouguan.

But after all, the chief soldier is a first-class official rank, and he will kill if he says it, and he won't fight at all, which is too fierce!

There is no way for Liu Hongjian to do this, now this situation must be decisive, cut through the mess quickly, how can I have time to review and report to the emperor, this time the daylily has been cold eight times.

You Wu Sangui is a foreigner, anyway, it's a death, it's better to borrow my head and let this official stand up!

As for the emperor's side, those old ministers will definitely have someone impeach him for his abuse of power, what do you like, Lao Tzu is playing with his life on the front line to work for you, if you can't even handle this, why bother Lao Tzu.

The three of them were tied to three pillars, Wu Sangui was cloaked, Tan Hong was dull, and Wu Zhimao was ...... Uh, this guy fainted with fright!

"Wu Sangui, do you have anything to say?" According to the routine in the TV series in his previous life, before the execution, it seemed that he had to pretend to be an X, so Liu Honggradually began to put on a score.

"Humph! I only hate Wu Mou for having no eyes and falling for your treacherous scheme, becoming a king and defeating a villain, let the horse come over, if someone Wu frowns, he is not a hero! ”

Wu Sangui was very tough, which made Liu Hongjian a little admired, alas, but his heart was not right, and he couldn't stay, so he waved his hand to signal the execution to begin.

Because it is located at the border pass, Wang Yuanba searched all over the city and only found two people who knew Ling Chi's craft, so he had to find a butcher to make up the number.

Wang Butcher has been killing pigs for ten years, in the territory of Shanhaiguan, on killing pigs and bones, no one can come out of the right, last night was Wang Yuanba came to the door, I heard that let him make a cameo as an executioner, Wang Butcher shook his head like a rattle.

Just kidding, Lao Tzu can only kill pigs, and in the end, the king butcher was subdued by five taels of silver, and Made, he should kill the pig.

During the execution, Wu Sangui really didn't say a word, Tan Hong howled endlessly, but it was Wu Zhimao, who prided himself as a Confucian general, staring at the Wang butcher holding a pig-killing knife in front of him, his eyes were full of despair.

Before the execution began, Wu Zhimao's crotch was wet, and the king butcher looked disgusted, this person's courage was really not as big as a pig!

Because Liu Hong gradually deliberately went through the motions, just wanted to express his determination to punish the soldiers for the behavior of deducting military salaries, only about half an hour later, the three of them had already died.

The worst thing is Wu Zhimao, the king butcher has this knife and that knife, and Wu Zhimao has been relieved as a pig......

Alas! Master Wu was also a decent person during his lifetime, Liu Hong gradually sighed secretly.

Wu Sangui and the three were executed, and Liu Hongjian did not order anyone to clean up, so he hung under the scorching sun, and tens of thousands of soldiers watched the whole process without making a sound.

Then Liu Hong gradually promoted Wang Yuanba, a staff general of Shanhaiguan, to the deputy commander-in-chief, and Tang Feng and Xiang Xiong were also promoted from guerrilla to generals.

And he himself is a general who acts cheaply for the three sides, and takes over the power of the Shanhaiguan defense line.

In order to change the passive situation of blindly defending, Liu Hong gradually stipulated that when going to war, the system of joint sitting was implemented, the soldiers retreated, the small flag to which the soldier belonged and the flag officer were incorporated into the death camp, the small flag retreated, and the general flag sat together.

The so-called death battalion is a way of punishing servicemen who have made mistakes, and most of the soldiers in the army who violate the army are simple and rude, and they are incorporated into the death camp, charging in front and retreating in the rear.

It is your destiny to survive, and you will atone for your sins and return to your original position, otherwise, go to the king of Hades to complain!

Originally, the death of those who retreat is the first military rule of almost all troops, but now it has become a retreat, and a group of people die.

Hiss - the soldiers looked left and right, and suddenly felt a little numb in their scalps, and they would have to use snacks for the future battle!

That night, Liu Hongjian wrote a letter to the emperor, and briefly reported to Chongzhen the progress of his work, as well as the disposal of Wu Sangui, and the use of the silver taels.

After all, the amount is too large, and the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty is only worth four million vehicles a year, and if you want to leave such a huge amount of money, you must give a clear reason.

The letter was reported to Chongzhen by Jin Yiwei, who had his own message transmission channel, from Shanhaiguan to the capital, and hurried overnight, arriving in the capital in less than three days.

On July 15, Emperor Chongzhen came to listen to the government at the Huangji Gate in Beijing.

Some of the ministers at the bottom said that there was a locust plague in such and such a place and asked the household department to send silver for disaster relief, and some of the imperial historians impeached a county official in such and such a place for corruption and perverted the law, and the courtiers who finished the work saw that Chongzhen was silent, so they had to get up and salute and return to the train.

Chongzhen has been worried for the past few days, his mind is on the Shanhaiguan side, so he simply doesn't bother to pay attention to the major matters that are not related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, it will be dealt with by the cabinet later.

Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the first auxiliary department of the cabinet, Li Banghua, the secretary of the second auxiliary military department, and the rest of the cabinet elders are several university scholars.

Chongzhen has been in power for seventeen years, and more than 50 cabinet ministers have been replaced, but the more they have changed, the more they feel that they are not taking advantage of it, but since the ministers ate the Hongmen banquet, the new cabinet is obviously much better than before.

Although there will be some small friction occasionally, basically the orders he gave are indeed being carried out step by step, of course, this is indispensable to the credit of Jinyiwei.

Liang Yang, who received Liu Hong's order, expanded the establishment of Jinyiwei, and arranged nearly 10,000 people around the capital alone, and the rest of the people were scattered all over the place.

Chongzhen waved his hand mechanically, signaling that he understood what was being played, and from time to time another Yushi took a step to prepare for the performance.

"Your Majesty, a messenger from Shanhaiguan has ......"

As a eunuch, it is not an exaggeration to shout so loudly when the courtiers are deliberating, but this is Chongzhen's explanation.

Chongzhen asked him to pay close attention to the situation at the border pass day and night, and any news was reported to him immediately at any time, and even the little yellow gate below had just spread the news to Wang Erxi's ears.

Wang Erxi said it out loud, after all, in the eyes of the eunuchs, there was only the emperor.

"Xuan!" Chongzhen's spirits lifted, and there was no more tiredness on his face, but he ...... Will it be good news, or bad news?

"Jinyi Weinan Town, Fusi stationed in Shanhaiguan, 100 households, Lin Dong knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Maybe it was the starry night rushing, and the hundred household officials looked tired.

"Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, what happened to Shanhaiguan?" Chongzhen's eyes were blazing.

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, has been removed by our command and the adults have been eliminated, and the border town is safe! Oh, this is the ...... of the commander Lord Liu! ”

"Good!" Chongzhen was excited when he heard the words "Border Town is safe", and directly interrupted the next words of the Baihu official.

“…… of the sparse. "The hundred household officials were taken aback by Chongzhen's sudden 'good'.

Wang Erxi immediately took the song and handed it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen roughly browsed it, his face couldn't see the joy, and handed it to Wang Erxi.

"Read!"

"Long live the emperor Liu Hong, the uncle of the country, gradually worship my emperor:

Since the minister was ordered to Shanhaiguan, he has been sleeping at night, waiting for the day, lest the entrustment be ineffective, in order to hurt the emperor's wisdom, although the border army is weak, but the heart still has the Ming also, the minister ...... Minister......"

Wang Erxi looked at the letter and couldn't read it anymore, this An Guobo has a grudge against our family!

"Read it, read it on!"

"Why don't you read it?"

Immediately there were ministers nagging, and they were listening energetically!

Wang Erxi glanced at Chongzhen, and Chongzhen motioned for him to read it truthfully.

"Although the border army is reliant, it is still a great and bright heart, and the minister is ...... I couldn't make it up, and the minister used a trick to trap Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and used it as a hostage to deter his own soldiers, and then Weichen moved it with affection, knew it with reason, lured it with profit, and threatened it with threat, and the rest of the troops were all convinced.

In order to set an example and stimulate the morale of the soldiers, Weichen took the initiative to execute Wu Sangui and other three main culprit, Ling Chi, and the silver he embezzled was more than 380,000 taels.

Jiannu is rampant, repeatedly offending the side, my Ming is on the defensive, Jiannu can not attack the city, every time it will be the surrounding people who suffer, resulting in low morale and very passive.

When the minister learned of Wu Sangui's conspiracy with Jiannu, he suddenly felt that this was also an opportunity, so the minister planned to take the initiative to attack, first, to destroy the prestige of Jiannu, and secondly, Weichen felt that the troops who could only defend were not real troops.

It's not that the border army doesn't dare to fight, it's not that they can't fight, but they lack a kind of stimulus, or faith, and since they don't know the meaning of fighting, then it's better to pay a lot of money.

As long as you get the head, you can get a lot of silver, and with the silver, the family doesn't have to starve, this is the simplest meaning!

At present, Shanhaiguan has sufficient grain and grass, high morale, and the morale of the army can be expected, the emperor please wait for the good news of Weichen!

Oh, I forgot to mention that Lord Wu Ganlai of the household department is fine, and the emperor should be able to see him in about three or five days after receiving this letter. ”

Whew-After believing, Wang Erxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had never seen such a strange recital, the first few sentences were still like that, and then it became a vernacular?

The ministers didn't care about the format of the song, but many of the old ministers frowned

As a first-class official position, even if the criminal officer wants to deal with it, the emperor still has to nod his head, Liu Hongjian not only killed him at will, but also promoted the deputy chief soldier and general easily, which reminded them of the former supervisor Yuan Chonghuan.

I wonder if this newcomer An Guobo is also suspected of eradicating dissidents and supporting the army for self-respect?

Besides, more than three million taels of silver is not a small amount, since it is the income from the investigation and punishment of embezzlement, it is natural to enter the household, what is the reason why you don't send it here?

Again, in recent years, Jiannu has not been allowed to enter the customs, naturally relying on the Ming border to pass the city, and now you have to give up these advantages to go out of the city and Jiannu field battle, and your brain is caught by the door!

Chongzhen also frowned.

"Cabinet Ladies and Gentlemen, Aiqing has come to my Qianqing Palace to discuss matters! Retreat! ”
