Chapter 492: Killing
That night, the defenders of the city began to turn over all the big families in the city, and almost all of Tuhai's men were full, and there would naturally be a lot of small actions when searching the courtyards of the Han people.
Tu Hai probably expected this outcome from the beginning, so he ordered from the beginning that anyone who violated military discipline would be killed.
But there is no open robbery, there are still some people who touch something secretly, some people are naturally happy when they touch something, and some people do not take advantage of it, of course their hearts are unbalanced. So I started to grab it, dare not give it? Okay, is your family harboring traitors, reaching out is a knife.
Soon it was uncontrollable, from searching for traitors to plundering jewels, these people had a routine, when Tuhai put down the Chahar rebellion, his men were the first to grab enough before starting to fight, after pacifying Chahar, these people were promoted according to military merits, and became the small leaders of the Tu Navy.
When he first entered Shaanxi, Tuhai ordered three times and killed a group of people, which can be regarded as stopping this momentum, but what he didn't expect was that on this night, their old problems began to commit again.
As mentioned earlier, at the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they looked down on the Han people from the bottom of their bones, otherwise there would not have been such a tragic massacre in Yangzhou and Jiading. The current situation is like the son of a daughter sitting in the hall, the thief entering, where else to say.
So many Han people can lose the country, these Manchu soldiers are naturally not afraid of what storms they can stir up, so they will rob it directly.
Tu Hai's face turned blue when he got the news, and Zhou Peigong knelt directly on the ground: "General, we must order to stop the action immediately, otherwise we will not be able to move an inch in Shaanxi." ”
Tu Hai is also making a choice in his heart now, although he is a Manchurian, but he is also an excellent strategist, once this matter is spread out, he still understands what impact it will have on the Manchu army, but now that the matter has come out, even if he wants to stop, I am afraid that the notoriety has spread far and wide, this search, if he can catch His Royal Highness of the former Ming, it can be regarded as worthy of this trip.
So he decided to take a gamble, he knew very well how the Southern Ming Dynasty fell, as long as he killed the person who spoke the most, the court of the Ming Dynasty would immediately be torn apart, and he would be able to recover Shaanxi and Sichuan without much effort, and even if he had any notoriety on his back, it would not be a big deal.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Peigong: "Peigong, just forgive me this time, the notoriety has been caused, and all we want now is to be able to hold His Royal Highness of the former Ming court." ”
Zhou Peigong raised his head sharply and opened his eyes wide: "General, Wen Xingong said that Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness, but his righteousness was exhausted, so he was benevolent." What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? Now and then, Shu is almost worthy of it. Are we worthy of the people of Xi'an City by doing this? ”
Tu Hai gritted his teeth suddenly: "Zhou Peigong, don't drop your bookbag here with General Ben, General Ben has also read Wen Tianxiang's words, success or failure at this time is in an instant, even if he kills the people of the entire Xi'an City, as long as he can exchange it for the stability of the world, General Ben is willing to bear the entire infamy!" Stand down! ”
Zhou Peigong smiled bitterly: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should make immortal contributions, but please forgive the officials for not daring to agree with the words of the general, from now on, we will part ways and never see each other again." ”
Tu Hai pulled out his knife suddenly: "Zhou Chang, you dare to be a deserter?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare, they just want to go to Beijing and ask His Majesty the Emperor, in order to calm the world, do you not hesitate to kill as many Han people as you want!"
Tu Hai slashed down with a knife, Zhou Peigong screamed, and one arm had been chopped to the ground.
The surrounding sergeants were all stunned, no one thought that Tu Hai would suddenly make such a ruthless move, Tu Hai is also suffering now, if he does not deal with Zhou Peigong, then his prestige will be discredited, and this army will be in chaos at that time.
So now his face was covered with blood, and he roared angrily: "If you dare to question the decision made by General Ben, you will be killed!" ”
The people around were all frightened, no one dared to care about Zhou Peigong who fell to the ground, Tu Hai glanced at Zhou Peigong who fell to the ground, and a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Zhou Peigong has also made a lot of efforts over the years, bandage him, and then make a decision after he wakes up." ”
The tragedy of Zhou Peigong is that he really wants to make meritorious deeds, but he can gamble with his own lives to make meritorious deeds, and he can't take the lives of the Han people to pile up, he doesn't think that there is anything wrong with the Manchu occupation of the world, but he stubbornly believes in his heart that the Manchu and Han will be integrated in the future, but unfortunately many people do not realize this at this time, and Tuhai, a group of Manchus who have read books, think that to deal with those Han people, they should implement benevolent government, and they should use knives.
That night, it became a nightmare for all the big families in Xi'an, and at dawn the next day, many people's homes were almost looted, and those things that were not easy to carry, such as gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, were almost all gone.
This time the Manchu army can be regarded as a hornet's nest, maybe they don't know, as early as thirty years ago, there was a man named Li Zicheng, who did this when he fought the world, and later offended all the gentry in the world, and finally defeated again and again.
You must know that there is no concept of equality in these days, and you have offended these gentry, not only their relatives and friends, but also the tenants who eat with them.
Tenants will only feel that their jobs have been smashed, and they will definitely not give birth to the idea that they can be the landlord after they are finished, if the ancients can really think so forward, when Wang Mang divided the land equally, everyone would not shout and fight.
And these big households control almost ninety percent of the land outside Xi'an, that is, they offend ninety percent of Xi'an people.
What made Tu Hai even more angry was that this search turned out to be a pure robbery in the end, not to mention His Royal Highness Qianming, and even the shadow of the traitor was not found.
Tu Hai was furious and killed more than 30 commanders who led the team, but many things were irreparable, and the atmosphere in Xi'an City was even more solemn, many families only opened the door at noon to carry out some necessary activities, and the rest of the time they hid in the house and did not dare to go out.
And if the city does not open the door, there is no anger at all, so there is no need to fight, once the army of the former Ming Dynasty begins to attack the city, there will be people who should cooperate with the outside, and are forced to helpless, Tuhai has to open the city gate, but secretly send people to investigate the situation in the city more closely, and ordered, once the traces of the traitors of the former Ming are found, the army of Fuzhong can be mobilized at any time to round up.
