Mao Wenlong was so confused that his legs trembled and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
He opened his mouth and begged: "Wen Long is rebellious. Wen Long is guilty. He knows he deserves to die. Please forgive me, Lord Supervisor. Spare my life. From now on, I am willing to lead my horse and push him. I will never have second thoughts."
Yuan Chonghuan turned around, turned his back to him, and never looked at him again.
"You have been ignorant of the laws of the country for a long time. If I don't kill you, this piece of land will not belong to the emperor!"
Then he kowtowed to the west to ask for Shang Fang's sword, and ordered Zhao Yizhi and He Lintu, the commanders of Shuiying Capital, to supervise and kill him.
Two warriors from the Zhenfu Division held down Mao Wenlong, one with one foot and one foot on the crook of his leg. They grabbed his arms with both hands to prevent him from moving. Another warrior took off Mao Wenlong's hat, grabbed his bun, and pulled him forward.
Flag officer Zhang Guobing held Shang Fang's sword, raised the sword and cut off Mao Wenlong's head in front of the tent.
Mao Wenlong's eyes widened in horror, and with a puff, blood spurted out from his neck more than one meter high. A big head was lifted into the hands of the strongman.
Everyone in Dongjiang Town was shocked. Suddenly he burst into tears.
They are in extreme poverty, living overseas, living under the shelter of others, surrounded by crises, and living in precarious conditions all day long. They rely on Mao Wenlong as their parents. At this time, seeing Mao Shuai being killed, he lost control of his emotions for a moment, and some were shouting at the heavens and the earth. Some beat the ground and cried loudly.
Even the officers and soldiers of Guan Ning Army were affected by the emotion and felt uncomfortable for a while.
Yuan Chonghuan turned his back. Even though he didn't look, he couldn't help but twitching the corners of his eyes, feeling irritated. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had killed him wrongly.
However, he quickly dispelled the negative emotions in his heart.
This matter must be handled properly, after all, there are still 3,000 people surrounding us outside.
"Shuai Mao was born in the army and was ordered when the army was defeated. The road was blue and blue to open the Dongjiang River. In more than ten years, he fought hundreds of battles and made great contributions to the country. The merits of this department are obvious, and it is easy to build a good wood. Coffin, properly bury the head and body.”
He turned around and walked towards Mao Jian, and said warmly: "You are Mao Shuai's trusted servant. It is up to you to escort Mao Shuai's coffin to Hangzhou and hand it over to his relatives. There are three thousand taels for the funeral here, which is considered a pension from the court. Give it to his relatives together."
Mao Jian looked at him with hatred. He didn't want to accept it. He felt like he was insulted.
But considering that I am just a domestic slave, I have no right to comment on the matters of these important people. I had no choice but to put away the banknote with red eyes and put it in my arms.
Mao Jian turned his head away from looking at him.
Yuan Chonghuan was also very embarrassed. I just smiled and turned around. He said to everyone: "I have no personal grudges with Marshal Mao. His Majesty ordered him to be killed today. Don't do anything to me."
Everyone was a little excited at first, but when they heard the word "Your Majesty", they suddenly didn't dare to say anything. They all returned to their respective places in fear, not even daring to cry.
"Today, I will only kill one person, Mao Wenlong, to pacify the overseas soldiers and civilians. Let's kill people to pacify the people. Each of you will continue to serve as usual, each with the same surname. You are not related by blood to Marshal Mao, and your surname is not Mao. Serving the country is a crime. If I am not as good as you, there is no need to worry."
When the generals heard this, they felt at ease. It turned out that Governor Yuan had no plans for a general purge.
They won't be implicated. Moreover, although the supervisor announced Mao Shuai's guilt, he had no intention of pursuing the entire army. It's just that Mao Shuai refused to obey the supervisor, so the supervisor only killed him.
Now that the Supervisor has killed the eldest in Dongjiang Town, the other younger ones are afraid. This is the end of the matter.
Yuan Chonghuan said to Mao Da: "Now that Marshal Mao is dead, how should Dongjiang Town be resettled?"
Mao Da was so frightened that he peed his pants. He killed Mao Wenlong when he was told to kill him, but Mao Wenlong dared to fart even before his blood was dry. He quickly raised his hands and said, "It all depends on the supervisor, it all depends on the supervisor."
The other generals also handed over their hands to the supervisor for instructions.
"The Honbu Yuan has no grudge against Marshal Mao, and we will never involve his family now. From now on, the 28,000 Dongjiang soldiers will be divided into four confederations. The Honbu Yuan will kill his father and use his son, and Mao Chenglu will be in charge of one confederation. Soldiers."
When everyone heard this, they were relieved. He even used it on Mao Wenlong's son. Naturally, you won't do anything to others.
Mao Chenglu, Anshan, Liaodong
He is an important general of the Pi Island Army and the adopted son of Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Pi Island.
He successively served as the right-wing guerrilla of the Pidao Army, the staff general of Neding, and the deputy commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Army.
He once commanded Mao Wenlong's army of servants, including his adopted sons and grandsons, and Jurchens for a long time. He ranked first among Wenlong's disciples and was known as "Mao Da".
Mao Da did not expect that Governor Yuan would actually reuse him, and he was overjoyed.
"Use flags and drums to control the troops of an alliance. I will decide on two alliances. The remaining two alliances of troops and horses will be discussed by yourselves and the public will recommend people who are talented and virtuous and can convince the public." Yuan Chonghuan said.
This time, everyone was completely reassured. Yuan Chonghuan did not even want to insert his own people into military power. This shows that he has no ambition to annex Dongjiang Town.
At this time, he believed his claim that he secretly received an oral order from His Majesty to kill Marshal Mao.
After discussing it for a while. Dongjiang officials protected the guerrilla Liu Xingzuo and deputy general Chen Jisheng and took charge of it.
Liu Xingzuo was from Dingyuanbo, but he stayed in Dongjiang for several years after fleeing Liaodong.
Liu Xingzuo had a prominent position on Jiannu's side and was a very good person. He got along well with the generals in Dongjiang. At this time, everyone trusted him and asked him to come back to host.
Chen Jisheng is a veteran and the oldest person in Dongjiang. Everyone was convinced.
Yuan Chonghuan had no objection to Chen Jisheng, but Liu Xingzuo had obviously gone to the sect of Uncle Dingyuan, and it was Uncle Dingyuan who introduced him to the emperor. This matter is a bit difficult to handle.
But now that the matter was urgent, he agreed. Let's go back and explain to the court and Uncle Dingyuan.
Ten days later, news of Mao Wenlong's murder spread throughout the government and the public. For a moment, it was like a magnitude 10 earthquake, shocking everyone who heard the news.
Xiong Tingbi had done it before with Shang Fang's sword killing the general. Governor Yuan, who now admires Xiong Tingbi, also did it once. Mao Wenlong lost his title and became a general soldier.
But Mao Wenlong had a left governor, which was different. This matter is seriously overstepping the bounds of authority.
When he heard the news, Chongzhen was having dinner with his concubines. I was so shocked that I dropped my chopsticks.
He originally calculated that Yuan Chonghuan would most likely find an opportunity to capture Mao Wenlong, then deceive his subordinates, tell them about their duties, take Mao Wenlong away, and then reorganize the troops of Dongjiang Town.
As for how to deal with it, there is no rush. Seize the military power first, and you can take care of the rest later. It depends on what the emperor and the cabinet mean.
However, Yuan Chonghuan killed the person directly. This incident made Chongzhen very uncomfortable.
For the first time, he discovered that Yuan Chonghuan still had this problem. audacious in the extreme.
It is not a good thing for a frontier official to have such irrational problems. If he had been crazy and done something irrational that day, it would have been extremely destructive.
In the emperor's opinion, this was a huge security risk.
Just like during the 1898 Coup, Yuan Shikai came to inform. Cixi put on her glasses and looked at Yuan Shikai carefully for a long time. Yuan Shikai was so scared that he peed.
I didn't kill him in the end, just in case. It’s just that this person is cowardly.
But Governor Yuan was so bold that the emperor was also a little embarrassed.
Chongzhen suddenly thought carefully about Governor Yuan's resume. He considered it carefully.
Looking at Governor Yuan from another angle, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. It turns out that he is such a bold person. Over the past ten years, every step of his promotion has been achieved by taking huge risks.
He could risk his fortune and his life in order to climb up. But the emperor can't do it. Who will accompany you to gamble?
He was just dissatisfied with what he did before, but because of the five-year return to Liao, he could bear it.
However, when he looked again at this time, his mentality changed, and his views also changed.
It seems that second-hand preparations are needed for Liaodong's affairs. He thought silently in his heart.
