Chapter 50: How the Faint King Was Made?

Of course, the miracle that turned the tide did not happen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because immediately after that, more Qing troops rushed to the battlefield, fortunately, at this time, Yang Feng's retreat had been forcibly rushed away, and he rushed out with less than four hundred Jinyi Wei Iron Cavalry before the Qing army encircled, and then went straight east to the direction of Jizhou, as for Tian Jianxiu......

They also fled.

It's just that unlike Yang Feng, he took the main force of about 3,000 old battalions of the Shun army into the mountains and forests, and then also went in the direction of Jizhou, as for their fate......

That's about Yang Feng's!

Then he kept all the way to the east, and arrived at Lulong three days later, and at this time the banner of the Ming army had been erected at the head of Lulong City, and Yang Feng thought the same, when Wu Sangui received the holy decree conveyed by Yang Yinxi and led the army out of Shanhaiguan, Bai Guangen, who had just received the news of the fiasco defeat of Huairou and Li Zicheng, did not hesitate to abandon the darkness and surrender to the Ming court again, with Funing, Changli, Lulong, that is, Yongping Fucheng, and a total of 40,000 troops in Luanzhou in the south.

The reason why he said again is because this is the second time.

Well, he's a rogue.

"Pull it out, cut it!"

Yang Feng, who arrived at Lulong and made peace with Wu Sangui, looked at Bai Guangen, who was kneeling in front of him, and said with a look of disgust.

"Huh?!"

Bai Guangen was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you hear? Do you want me to do it myself? Spread my will, in the future, all thieves, regardless of officials and generals, will not be pardoned, even if they surrender, I don't need such courtiers, I used to be too tolerant to them, so I fell to the point where the temple was dusty and relatives died, from today on, I have to be ruthless to establish rules, and I don't want those capricious rebels in the future! I don't want any of them! ”

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wu Sangui promised me that I would not be guilty of the past!"

Bai Guangen howled.

"Uncle, did you promise him?"

Yang Feng asked Wu Sangui.

Bai Guangen also looked at Wu Sangui with expectant eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister did promise him, although Bai Shun surrendered to the thief, but in the past in Liaodong and Shaanxi have also fought bloody battles for the imperial court, the minister thought that he should be given a chance to reform himself."

Wu Sangui said.

"In this case, I won't kill him for your sake, but I won't use such a person anymore, exile him and exile him to Taiwan! Nan Amber, this guy will be handed over to you, not only him, but all the capricious generals under him, none of them are left to exile to Taiwan, I allow them to mend their ways, there are still red-haired people and Shengfan, they can follow Nan Amber to fight, if they make war achievements, I will pardon them, as for their families, they don't have to be implicated. ”

Yang Feng said to Zheng Zhilong.

"Faint King, you Faint King!"

Bai Guangen cursed like a breakdown, then got up and tried to run out, but then he was kicked down by Liang Cheng, and a group of brocade guards quickly stepped forward to take it down.

They didn't notice that the two Bai Guangen's cronies outside ran as fast as they could, just when Jinyiwei dragged him out and put him in a cage, ready to send him back to Shanhaiguan to load the ship to Taiwan as cannon fodder, Bai Guangen's subordinates mutiny inevitably happened, those Bai generals who knew that they would also suffer the same treatment, before Jinyiwei went over to arrest them, they gathered their troops as quickly as possible, and then launched an attack on the county where Yang Feng temporarily lived.

And then......

"I'm here, who dares to make trouble?"

Yang Feng stood in front of the county yamen and shouted.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and picked up the stone lion next to him, this kind of small thing weighing hundreds of pounds he didn't need two hands, he could pick it up with one hand, and then threw it out, and smashed it on the street in front of those mutinous soldiers like a huge cannonball, smashing the ground directly into a big hole.

The mutinous soldiers were silent.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, go up together and kill this dog emperor!"

A white general brandished a knife and shouted indistinctly, but unfortunately there was no one around who responded.

Then a few soldiers silently threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground, and then more and more soldiers knelt down, they were not stupid, the emperor exiled generals and not soldiers, before it was nothing more than a fever and fantasy under the encouragement of these generals, but now this basin of cold water poured down, immediately sobered up their brains.

The generals looked at each other, and soon they all fell to their knees in resignation.

After all, they were only exiled, and their families were not implicated, and none of them had robbed Wanguan's family wealth over the years, as long as they followed Zheng Zhilong to make some military exploits and give this old pirate some benefits, he would be pardoned and go home to retire after giving the last performance.

The general who wielded the knife looked at this scene stupidly, holding the knife like a clown, wanting to rush forward to see the stone lion but didn't dare, and finally put the knife on his neck and wanted to kill himself, but he didn't dare to pull down the last one, where he was entangled and suddenly lay on the ground and cried: "The emperor is gracious, the ministers are all forced by Bai Guangen." ”

"Humph!"

Yang Feng sneered.

"Spread my will, from now on those who are rebellious, all the officials with grades before the surrender of thieves are exiled to Taiwan, and the unranked and soldiers are all demoted to commoners, not only them, but the rebellious officials in Yongping counties are all in accordance with this example, I gave them the opportunity at the beginning, and those who are truly loyal to me have followed me to Shanhaiguan, but the rest of the people who led me are thinking about stepping on two boats, do you think that I am something you can coax at will?

Not only the rebellious officials, but all the other people who have the fame of the imperial court have been disqualified from tax exemption, since they are all full of poetry and books, then you should know the way of the sages, and the way of the sages will teach you to open the door to meet the thief and bow to the thief to surrender? Xiucai, Gongsheng, Prisoners, Lifters, eating my rice, and enjoying my tax exemption, when I need you, they all made wall grass, and now that I am back, do you want to continue? The common people didn't eat me, I don't blame them, but the meritorious ones can't, in the future, I will pay all the taxes that should be paid like the common people, and all the land I have recovered in the future will be handled in the same way! ”

He went on to say.

In other words, he can be regarded as doing his best to use the topic.

But he's right!

He occupies the moral high ground!

First of all, there are those who ran to Shanhaiguan as a comparison, which can clearly distinguish between loyalty and disloyalty, since he is disloyal, then his punishment will be reasonable and legal.

Needless to say, those officials all eat the money he issued, and although those talents and people are different from officials, they don't have to pay taxes in Daming, and even some of them enjoy the imperial court rice as a subsidy, in other words, they all eat his food! You are holding my rice bowl but not being loyal to me, you can't make sense anywhere, right? Wouldn't it be right for those high-ranking officials to exile you? Those who enjoy my preferential treatment, people, I cancel your preferential treatment, isn't it right?

No matter how this is counted, it is justified.

And then......

"Your Majesty, this, this, please think twice!"

Wang Yongji said.

Lao Wang didn't expect him to play this, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran all the way from Shanhaiguan.

If this is done, who will surrender to those officials and generals of the previous imperial court? There is also the abolition of the tax-free treatment, this is to push all the scholars in the occupied area to the side of the enemy, those scholars are not just scholars, that includes almost all the gentry, they rely on these fame to enjoy the privilege of tax exemption, you want them to pay taxes is to stab them in the heart, Li Zicheng was a thief in their hearts before, they look forward to the emperor, the holy lord Mingjun, but so the emperor guarantees to become the king of the emperor immediately!

"For the king, we should reward the good and punish the evil, reward the loyal and righteous and punish the traitors, of course I will not hesitate to reward the loyal ministers and righteous men who follow me, but if these capricious villains are not punished, how can the world be clear about loyalty and treachery, and how can the people know good and evil?"

Yang Feng said righteously.

"Your Majesty, but, but this Yongping gentry also donated food to help Your Majesty before."

Lao Wang said.

He didn't really care about Yang Feng cleaning up Bai Guangen's gang of surrendered troops, although this would cause the rebellious generals to dare not surrender in the future, but these wall grasses themselves did not dare to use them if they surrendered, who knew that they would sell the emperor again at a critical time? It would be good to get rid of this kind of person as soon as possible, but Yang Feng's punishment of those rebellious officials and scholars or gentry made his heart pound.

It's going to poke a big leak.

"That's why I'm just canceling their tax-free privileges, not punishing them more severely, and as for the food they give me, I will honor what I promised them, I will compensate them tenfold, I will give them the position of Jinyi Guard, and what I promised when I asked them for food will be fulfilled.

But I will punish them as well.

If they were really faithful, they would have fought to the end for me like the gentry who followed me to the Shanhaiguan, but they didn't, they gave me food, but they also gave me gold and silver, and when the rebel came here, which of them didn't offer gold and silver to greet him? They are still playing with two boats, I want to tell them that this is not good, loyalty is loyalty, there is no room for filth, don't think that I will be played by them as fools as before, they should be glad that they gave me food to help in the first place, otherwise the punishment will definitely not be just that! ”

Yang Feng said.

Uh, do you mean it's going to be even more ruthless in other places in the future?

Wang Yongji was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think twice, don't be rash!"

He said tremblingly.

"Isn't it useless for me to speak?"

Yang Feng shouted.

"Your Majesty, the minister is the first assistant, there is the responsibility of Kuang Zheng, Your Majesty is in chaos, the minister will not dare to be summoned, if Your Majesty insists on this, please dismiss the minister from the post of first assistant!"

Wang Yongji knelt down and said.

"Then don't be it, pass the decree, the first assistant of the Jin cabinet, Wang Yongji, the marquis of Gaoyou, add the young master, and remove him from the post of first assistant, and the secretary is still the same! With the second assistant of the cabinet, Ning Yuan Boli Yutian is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the secretary of the household department is the same! ”

Yang Feng said.
