Chapter 185: Geng Jingzhong

"Kill them! Kill them! The onlookers let out an angry roar, and the roar shook the sky and resounded through the sky, making the traitors and bannermen on the stage tremble. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In real history, the people of Fujian have been anti-Qing until the end, before the rebellion of the three feudatories, many Fujian people risked their lives to secretly cross the sea to defect to Ming Zheng; After the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Fujian people were the most fierce anti-Qing people. Until Geng Jingzhong failed, the people of Fujian were still secretly opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and heaven and earth would echo the White Lotus Sect; After the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming and Zheng Dynasty and lifted the sea ban, a large number of Fujian people went to Nanyang to form the Heaven and Earth Society. When it came to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there was another Minnan knife club. After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping army in Fujian held out to the end.

Of course, there are also scum such as Hong Chengchou, Zheng Zhilong, Shi Lang, and Huang Wu among Fujianese.

But later, some people actually established Hong Chengchou's patriotic education base, and some people sang praises and praised General Shi Lang, and even Huang Wu became a hero who promoted national integration. Buttock. Total chrysanthemum beautification.

The shouts of thousands of people made Li Shutai and Huang Wu's faces look like earth.

However, Wang Xinyu did not directly announce what punishment Huang Wu would be sentenced, but ordered that a group of people who had just been sentenced to death be beheaded. first killed their families in front of Huang Wu and Li Shutai.

"Slash!" A token was thrown to the ground.

The executioner waved the ghost-headed broadsword, and the knife fell in his hand, and Huang Wu's cousin, cousin, clan uncle, uncle, Su Ming's son, Li Shutai's son, Goshha, the housekeeper and other heads fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred heads rolled to the ground.

"Ahh Seeing their family members killed, Huang Wu and Li Shutai screamed from their throats, but their jaws had already been removed, and they couldn't bite their tongues to kill themselves, nor could they open their mouths to shout, so they could only use their vocal cords to make mournful whimpering.

"Human blood steamed buns! Human blood steamed buns! "A long time ago, people came up and took steamed buns to dip in human blood. It is said that eating human blood steamed buns can cure white disease and prevent tuberculosis, so human blood has also become the income of the executioner.

"Ling Chi executes the criminal!" Wang Xinyu threw the second token to the ground.

Twelve executioners walked out of the queue, six of them holding plates and six with knives.

The six prisoners who were about to be executed were tied to the pillars, and watching the executioner come up, the six prisoners became short of breath, their chests rose and fell violently, their faces had already turned the color of pig liver, and some of them had wet crotches.

At three o'clock, Ling Chi's death sentence officially began.

The executioner with a willow leaf knife carefully cut off the flesh of the prisoner, cut off a piece of meat, and then put the knife into the thick salt water to soak it, which can not only stop the bleeding, prevent the prisoner from dying too quickly, but also increase the pain of the prisoner.

The first piece of meat cut off was sent to Wang Xinyu. Next, the rest of the meat was sent to the generals of the Jingnan Palace.

"Laughing and thirsty for the blood of the Huns, ambitious and hungry for Hulu meat! Although I don't eat Tartar meat today, traitors are more hateful than Tartars! Today, this clan is going to eat this traitor meat raw! Wang Xinyu laughed, stuffed the traitor meat into his mouth, chewed it hard, swallowed it hard, and drank a big bowl of wine.

Looking at the human flesh delivered to him, Zeng Yangxing's face was pale, his legs trembled, and he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. But when he saw Wang Xinyu eating human flesh, he had the courage to stuff human flesh into his mouth, but he didn't dare to swallow it no matter how he chewed it, so he brought a bowl of wine, drank it all, and swallowed the human flesh with wine.

Zeng Yangxing only felt very disgusting, and his stomach turned upside down, but he didn't dare to spit it out, so he could only stand there with his head stubborn.

The rest of the Geng generals also ate human flesh, but they performed slightly better.

It took more than three hours for the flesh of the six death row inmates to be cleaned, leaving only the skeletons of white flowers. In the end, the executioner dug out the beating heart of the condemned prisoner.

Only Huang Wu and Li Shutai were left with two death row prisoners, and the bloody and terrifying scene made these two people faint in fright.

A basin of water was splashed up, waking up Huang Wu and Li Shutai.

"Huang Wu! Execute the punishment of a stick of incense to the sky! Wang Xinyu read out the verdict on Huang Wu aloud.

Huang Wu heard a stick of incense in the sky, turned his head to look at the stake again, and suddenly felt his chrysanthemum shrink suddenly. Before he could make a sound from his throat, two Ming soldiers came up and dragged Huang Wu off the judgment platform and pulled him to the side of the stake.

"Whew-" Huang Wu's pants were pulled down.

"Send General Huang on the road!" A Ming officer shouted.

Huang Wu's hands were hung up and hung on the small wooden stakes on both sides, and then the braids on his head were also hung and hung up, and then the whole person was sent to the pointed wooden stakes, and the chrysanthemums were aimed at the sharpened head. Because the hands are fixed, the person can sit on them without falling off. Eventually, under the action of its own gravity, it will slowly fall, and the wooden stake will pierce into the body. This kind of torture takes several days to die, and before it dies, it suffers excruciatingly, and it is more cruel than Ling Chi.

The last Li Shutai, who was left, looked at the big vat, his face was pale and trembling. Although it was a cold day, and his clothes were almost stripped, he still broke out in a cold sweat. Needless to say, I also know that the big vat is ready to be reserved for Li Shutai to enjoy.

An executioner stepped forward, raised his knife and cut off Li Shutai's left arm, and then immediately covered Li Shutai's severed arm with gauze soaked in strong salt water and spirits, and then bandaged it to prevent people from bleeding to death. After that, the right arm was cut off with a knife and the wound was treated. Finally, cut off both legs.

Li Shutai was put into a large vat, leaving only his head exposed outside the vat. After a set of surgeries, Li Shutai had already passed out. But how could Wang Xinyu let him pass out so comfortably?

Someone came up, pinched Li Shutai's nose, and poured a bowl of cold ice water into his mouth.

"Ahh Li Shutai screamed, and let out a heart-rending scream in pain.

"Can you guarantee that he will live until we take Guangzhou?" Wang Xinyu asked the military doctor who accompanied the army.

The doctor replied, "Handsome, there is no problem at all!" The humble guarantee that he would not die. The wound will be guaranteed to change the dressing, and disinfect it with more concentrated salt water. In addition, the humble position also concocted a refreshing soup for him, which can keep him awake at all times and not fall asleep from time to time. ”

Looking at Li Shutai, who was tied with gauze bandages like zongzi on his body and had a painful expression on his face, Wang Xinyu nodded with a smile.

"Uh-uh" Li Shutai made a sound in his throat, but he couldn't speak, he could only use his throat to make a changed sound, which definitely meant that he wanted to die quickly, and he only begged Wang Xinyu to kill him with a knife.

"Want to die a happy death? It's not that easy! This clan will let Shang Kexi, that old thief, see you! Wang Xinyu sneered.

Thousands of miles away in the city of Beijing, Geng Jingzhong's Efu Mansion.

"Little prince, Yang Qilong has come to visit." The butler stood at the door of the study and handed over the name thorn.

Storyteller Yang Qilong is also an old acquaintance of the Efu Mansion, he is not only a frequent visitor to Geng Jingzhong's mansion, but also a frequent visitor to Wu Yingxiong's mansion. Although he is Han, he has saved a lot of money in the past few years, and he can actually buy a house in the inner city of the capital thanks to his connections!

At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty stipulated that only banner and Han officials could live in the inner city of the capital, and ordinary idle people were not allowed to live in the inner city. But in fact, many wealthy businessmen, or Han people with connections, can live in the inner city of the capital as long as they are willing to spend a sum of money by bribing the banner people and establishing relations with the flag people.

After Yang Qilong had money, he spent a lot of money to live in the inner city of the capital, and he had a very good relationship with many banner people.

But Yang Qilong has another identity, which is Wu Sangui's eyeliner. In fact, he is still a double agent, not only doing things for Wu Sangui, but also doing things for the Heaven and Earth Society.

The only one who can send Geng Jimao's handwritten letter to Geng Jingzhong is Yang Qilong. Although there were still many agents in the capital of the Heaven and Earth Society, none of them could get close to Geng Jingzhong's family. Therefore, the people of the Heaven and Earth Society handed over the letter to Yang Qilong and asked him to pass it on to Geng Jingzhong.

"Let him in!" Hearing that Yang Qilong was coming, Geng Jingzhong asked the housekeeper to let Yang Qilong in.

Geng Jingzhong has been secretly with Wu Yingxiong, and the Qing court wants to cut the military salaries of the three feudatories, and Wu Sangui can be regarded as one of the fiercer resistors. Geng Jingzhong didn't want his Jingnan palace to be cut too much by the Qing court, so he could only join forces with Wu Sangui in order to keep the military salary allocated to them by the Qing court.

Seeing Yang Qilong come in, Geng Jingzhong split his head and asked, "Won't it be Wu Yingxiong who asked you to come again?" ”

"This time the grass people came by themselves, and there is something I have to see the little prince in person!" Yang Qilong said mysteriously, and turned his head to look around from time to time.

Geng Jingzhong said: "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here!" Tell me what you have to say. ”

Originally, there were some eyeliners sent by the imperial court in Geng Jingzhong's mansion, but after Geng Jingzhong found out, he made excuses and transferred them away, and now Geng Jingzhong runs his forehead mansion perfectly. Although his wife is the daughter of Haoge, for the sake of his own Jingnan Palace, Geng Jingzhong would rather harm the interests of the Qing court.

Yang Qilong took out a letter and handed it over: "This is a letter brought by someone to the little prince, it is your family letter, from Fujian, the little prince must remember, this letter must not be read by outsiders!" ”

At this time, the news of the loss of Zhangzhou had not yet reached Beijing, because Fujian's way out of the field, except for the road to southern Jiangxi and Guangdong, was controlled by the Ming army, and the Qing army could not send the news out as soon as possible. Shang Kexi was defeated with the news that he still needed to make a detour to Guangdong to send it to the capital. In contrast, the Ming army quickly delivered the letter to Shandong through a catamaran clipper, and then through the underground post station of the Tiandihui, it was able to deliver the letter to Beijing in just a few days.

At this time, the Qing court already knew the news of the loss of Fuzhou, Xinghua, Quanzhou and other places, and did not know the battle situation in Zhangzhou. Geng Jingzhong couldn't wait to open the letter, read it again, and his face changed greatly.

"Father's ......" Geng Jingzhong was horrified: Zhangzhou has been lost, and his father has also fallen into the hands of the Ming army! If you want to be able to see your father again and save the life of your family, the only way is to raise an army against the Qing Dynasty!

However, Geng Jingzhong couldn't rebel in the capital, he only had a few hundred guards on hand in the capital, which was not enough for the eight banners and green camps in the capital. If you want to rebel, you must find an excuse to go south to Jiangning, wait for the Ming army to attack Jiangning, and then come to join forces with the outside and dedicate Jiangning to the Ming army.

In the letter, Geng Jimao also explained Geng Jingzhong in this way, so that he should not be in a hurry, there is no need to act rashly, it will not be long before the news of the defeat of the Qing army in Zhangzhou will reach the capital, and the news of his "suicide and martyrdom" will also be transmitted to the capital by the spies of the Qing court in the near future, and at that time, Geng Jingzhong can use the excuse of avenging his father and lead the troops to Jiangning. After going to Jiangning, Geng Jingzhong waited for the opportunity in Jiangning.

Looking at the uncertain expression on Geng Jingzhong's face, Yang Qilong said softly: "Little prince, this may be the only way!" In fact, I don't hide it from the little prince, Pingxi Wangfu is also prepared! As soon as the time is ripe, they will rebel. ”

Geng Jingzhong has never been a loyal minister of the Qing court, he has been held hostage in Beijing for many years, and he also knows that his ancestors and fathers have made great contributions to the Qing court, but the Qing court guards them like thieves, not to mention, this is not the court of the Han people, and the shaving of hair and the ease of clothing of the Qing court make Geng Jingzhong very disgusted in his heart. Although he was born outside the Guan, he still knew a lot about the mantle of the Han people, and he thought that the Han people's clothes were far better than the Manchu people's money rat tail and horse coat.

"Okay, Mr. Yang will go back first, this matter has his own plans. Filial piety is a matter of course, and a certain person will naturally do filial piety to his father! Geng Jingzhong said.

A few days later, the news of the defeat of the Qing army in Zhangzhou reached the capital. A few days later, the news that Geng Jimao "did not want to surrender to the thief, killed himself, and committed suicide and martyrdom" also reached the capital.

"Father!" When Geng Jingzhong heard the news, he fainted from tears.

The servants and maids in the house were messed up, and the housekeeper pinched Geng Jingzhong's people before he slowly opened his eyes.

"The thief killed his father, this revenge is not avenged, Geng has no shame to face the ancestors and the ancestors! Someone! This prince wants to enter the palace to meet the Long Live Lord and the Empress Dowager Lafayette! I'm going to send troops to Jiangnan! Geng Jingzhong roared loudly. But he was secretly happy in his heart: as long as the court agrees, he can leave this damn capital with an army!

After Geng Jingzhong entered the palace, Kangxi agreed without thinking and asked Geng Jingzhong to lead his troops to Jiangning.

Bumu Butai also felt that it was appropriate to avenge his father, but Bumu Butai was still a little unhappy: "E, King Jingnan sacrificed his life for the country, and his family was heartbroken. But the prince is really not strict with his subordinates, why are so many people thieves? Why would they not be martyred? ”

"The Empress Dowager is Chitose! The minions went to the south, and they must kill all those traitors! Geng Jingzhong arched his hand.

Bumu Butai said: "The mourning family agrees with you to send troops to the south, but the imperial court is short of soldiers and horses, and you still need to recruit new soldiers." In addition, the mourning family will transfer a batch of elites from their mother's family. ”

Hum! Brother Wu Yingxiong, I'm really sorry, the younger brother is going to leave the capital first, you just stay here and play with Kang Mazi slowly! Geng Jingzhong said secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
