Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, He Jingyun's expression relaxed a lot. As a general, he kills enemies on the battlefield. No matter how many he kills, he will not show any mercy. But if he kills old, weak, women and children who have no ability to resist, He Jingyun is still very conflicted...
Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Mingsheng ordered again:
"After Zheng Xiaolin brings the people out, you will immediately lead the troops to occupy the main peak of Baihu Mountain. In addition, you will mobilize a group of our war supervisors to form a temporary yamen to judge the surrendered bandit leaders."
He Jingyun was a little hesitant when he heard this. After hesitating for a while, he tentatively asked:
"My lord, didn't you promise Zheng Xiaolin not to kill anyone?"
"When did I say that? What I said was not to embarrass them too much!" Ye Mingsheng looked at He Jingyun and said calmly:
"General He, don't forget that you and I are officers and soldiers. We have to give an explanation to the people of Posuo Prefecture for this campaign against bandits!"
"The Zhensanshan gang has been entrenched in Posuo Mansion for decades. I don't know how much money they have plundered, and how many poor people have been killed..."
"So how can we write off these bloody feuds and never mention them again just because they have surrendered now?"
"If you do this, wouldn't it encourage those ordinary people to become bandits, telling them to rob and kill as they please, and then as long as they surrender, nothing will happen?"
"To deal with these bandits, we can't just be gentle, but also show our butcher's knife! Only the butcher's knife can make them awe, blindly appeasing and conniving will only make them think that I, Mr. Ye, are as weak and can be bullied as the original officials!"
"It's easier to conquer a country than to defend it. I, Mr. Ye, won the Posuo Mansion this time and don't want to leave!
"We just need to use the heads of these vicious bandits to cheer up the people's hearts and make them loyal! Secondly, it also proves that our army is well-known this time and will not give those with ulterior motives a chance to make noise!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, He Jingyun felt a little ashamed. Although he was very confident in the military, he really didn't think so much about politics. It turned out that there were so many reasons for killing people... ··
"I understand, sir, I will allocate manpower to judge their crimes!" He Jingyun nodded and replied:
Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and continued to give instructions:
"During the trial, remember not to cut across the board, and not to kill both major and minor crimes at the same time. Those who are extremely vicious and unforgivable must have their homes confiscated and beheaded! We must use their heads to give the people an explanation."
"Those whose sins are not serious enough to die can be allowed to use money to atone for their sins, but they must also serve three to five years of hard labor!"
"As for those who have committed minor crimes, after being fined, they can be released after being criticized and educated, and given a probation! If they commit another crime during the probation period, they will be dealt with severely!"
"These bandit leaders are all rich! If we don't kill them all, we will be showing mercy outside the law. Now it's time to let them bleed more!"
Listening to the solution given by Ye Mingsheng, He Jingyun, who silently took note of it, couldn't help but admire Ye Mingsheng in his heart. Faced with such a difficult problem, Ye Mingsheng was able to give such a proper solution so quickly. Just this. Just a little bit above him!

Dongning City, in the Governor's Mansion.
Song Wenhui, whose face was ashen, looked at Ji Qiwei and Xing Dalin who were kneeling on the ground, with a faint murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a low voice;
"Ji Qiwei, can you tell me why I gave you 30,000 troops and you came back defeated, while Ye Mingsheng only had 10,000 troops but he took over Posuo Mansion?"
Listening to Song Wenhui's inquiry, Ji Qiwei, who was already very ashamed, was speechless and could only say:
"Despicable and incompetent!"
Ji Qiwei's answer made Song Wenhui extremely angry. He picked up the pen washer on the desk and threw it at Ji Qiwei. The pen washer hit Ji Qiwei hard on the back.
After hitting Ji Qiwei, Song Wenhui still didn't seem to be relieved enough, so he stood up and kicked Ji Qiwei several times.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ji Qiwei's face was twisted in pain after being beaten, but he did not dare to make a sound. As the number one general in Liaoyang, he could only endure Song Wenhui's beating silently... ···
The punches and kicks against Ji Qiwei seemed to have consumed a lot of energy from Song Wenhui. Already drained by alcohol and sex, he suddenly fell onto the Master's chair after only a few blows, his face flushed and he panted angrily.
Seeing the miserable look of Ji Qiwei, whom he had never dealt with, Xing Dalin would have cried out in joy in the past and watched the show with gloating.
But now Xing Dalin, who was kneeling beside him, was even more uneasy. Ji Qiwei was not only Song Wenhui's confidant, but also Song Wenhui's brother-in-law!
Normally, Song Wenhui favored Ji Qiwei and never scolded him. However, now he actually beat Ji Qiwei himself, which showed how angry he was!
Although Ji Qiwei, as the coach, bears the main responsibility for this defeat, it was he, Xing Dalin, who first proposed this plan, and he was also responsible for liaison with Jiang Chong. If you really think about it, his responsibility is not much less than that of Jiang Chong. ah.
Ji Qiwei has been beaten this time, so what will happen to him who is far less important than Ji Qiwei?
Thinking of this, Xing Dalin couldn't help but shuddered all over. However, at this moment, Song Wenhui's cold eyes also swept over him...
Feeling the coldness in Song Wenhui's eyes, Xing Dalin knew what he had to do now, otherwise he might die today!
Kneeling on the ground, Xing Dalin took a deep breath, then raised his head and met Song Wenhui's eyes and said loudly:
"Sir, the fault for the failure of this battle is mine. I am willing to commit suicide to thank the Governor for his cultivation!"
"But sir, even when a person is about to die, his words are good. I have something I would like to tell you!"
When Xing Dalin said these words, both Song Wenhui and Ji Qiwei were shocked. Song Wenhui pondered for a moment and then said:
"speak!"
Ji Qiwei's 30,000-strong army in this battle was more than half, and even the 15,000 people who returned had thousands of wounded. Therefore, the attack on Song Wenhui of Posuo Mansion this time can be said to be a waste of rice. He only lost his wife and lost a lot of rice. Soldiers
What is even more unacceptable is that the failure of this battle undoubtedly cast a shadow on the tens of thousands of Liaoyang troops preparing for war on the front line of Changqingfu, and the impact was very bad...
Song Wenhui now urgently needs to find someone to take the blame for this battle. Although Ji Qiwei, as the coach, is the first person responsible for the defeat, he is his confidant and his top general.
Ji Qiwei still has a big role in attacking Changqing Prefecture immediately, so he can vent his anger on Ji Qiwei, but now he cannot let Ji Qiwei take the blame.
Therefore, from the beginning, Song Wenhui planned to let Xing Dalin take the blame. Song Wenhui originally wanted to give Xing Dalin a little bit so that he would take the blame.
He never thought that Xing Dalin was more self-conscious than he thought, and was willing to take matters into his own hands before he opened his mouth. This made Song Wenhui look at Xing Dalin in his heart, so he didn't mind and listened to Xing Dalin. Want to say something.
Listening to Song Wenhui's words, Xing Dalin felt a little bitter in his heart. Song Wenhui said "speak" instead of redeeming himself so that he would not commit suicide. What does this mean?
There is no doubt that Song Wenhui has murderous intentions towards him!
He wants to let himself bear all the blame!
Even though he was aware of this situation, hearing the answer from Song Wenhui still made Xing Dalin very painful...
When he was young, he followed Song Wenhui in the north and south, and went through countless swords, guns, and swords. He suffered many open and hidden attacks, so I won't mention his merits. For decades, he followed Song Wenhui all the way, even if he had no merit, he still had hard work. Bar?
But now that he saw that he had no use value, Song Wenhui treated himself like a piece of stinky dog shit, throwing himself out and taking the blame!
Thinking of this, Xing Dalin, who had always been grateful to Song Wenhui for his kindness, quietly felt a trace of hatred in his heart. However, with the knife already placed on his neck, his first priority was to prove his worth to Song Wenhui, so that he could use this. Come and earn a chance of survival···········
After thinking about his words, Xing Dalin looked at Song Wenhui and said seriously:
"Sir, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Ye Mingsheng's victory over Posuo Mansion may be a great good thing for us!"
When these words came out, Song Wenhui couldn't help but frown slightly. He was a little confused about what nonsense Xing Dalin was talking about. They spent countless money and food, and nearly 20,000 casualties, but in the end they got nothing. Instead, they married Ye Mingsheng. Clothes.
No matter how you look at it, this is a hugely loss-making business. How come Xing Dalin got it into his mouth that this has become a huge good thing?
Looking at Song Wenhui who looked confused and puzzled, Xing Dalin knew that his words had aroused the interest of the Liaoyang governor.
As for whether he can survive next, it depends on what he tells next, whether he can make Song Wenhui realize his own value...
"Sir, from the perspective of the Posuo Mansion, our army has been benefited by Ye Mingsheng, a fisherman, in this fight with the Sandpipers and Clams of Sanshan Mountain. However, judging from the overall situation in Liaoyang, our army has obtained a very good opportunity! "
"Although Ye Mingsheng is named Zhenwu Army General and is controlled by Chen Dechang, in fact, this man is really ambitious and ambitious. It can be seen from his series of actions in Fengzhou that he has established his own faction in Fengzhou. Chen Dechang I can’t control him anymore, and there’s even a lot of nastiness between them.”
"The reason why they are still able to work together and maintain superficial unity is because they are both afraid of adults and want to stick together for warmth!"
"After this battle, Ye Mingsheng's strength has greatly increased after taking over the Posuo Mansion. However, our army has been slightly at a disadvantage due to the ebb and flow of the enemy. However, this can also break up the alliance between Ye Mingsheng and the Zhenwu Army. !”
"My lord, haven't you always been most worried about Ye Mingsheng being behind the scenes when our army was storming Changqing Mansion? Now as long as we operate properly, we can solve this hidden danger, and we can even take this opportunity to win over Ye Mingsheng. Let’s deal with Chen Dechang together!”
"Sir, I am willing to take the blame and perform meritorious service. I will go to Fengzhou to show my interests to Ye Mingshengxiao, move him with affection, and swear to get this strong support for you!" Xing Dalin said firmly, and after saying that, he looked at him sincerely. Song Wenhui.
Now that he has exhausted all his cards, whether he can survive or not depends on Song Wenhui's thoughts...
After listening to Xing Dalin's words, Song Wenhui finally clarified his thoughts. Although he did not expect that Xing Dalin actually wanted to win over Ye Mingsheng, but following Xing Dalin's thoughts, Song Wenhui felt that there were still a few more things to do. It makes sense, and I also feel that Xing Dalin, a lackey, has some use.
After pondering carefully for a moment, Song Wenhui said:
"If you and Ye Mingsheng have any quarrel, don't go to Fengzhou. I will arrange for someone else to go!"
"As for the battle in Posuo Mansion, the main responsibility for the failure is Xing Dalin's failure in intelligence!"
"You should have been beheaded in order to enforce military justice, but for the sake of your loyalty to me over the past decades, I will spare your life!"
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped! From now on, you, Xing Dalin, will be relieved of all official positions and we will see the consequences!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Dalin immediately kowtowed to Song Wenhui three times and said respectfully:
"Thank you for not killing me, sir!"
Although he worked hard for half his life to obtain the position of general, this time he was knocked down to the end, but Xing Dalin was still very happy. After all, his life was saved. As long as people are alive, everything will still have a chance... ········
In addition, Ye Mingsheng killed so many of his relatives. It can be said that Xing Dalin hated Ye Mingsheng to death. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to meet Ye Mingsheng again. The offer to join him just now was just to gain a chance to survive. Now, It would be best if Song Wenhui didn't let him go there!
·····················
·····················
After taking Baihu Mountain, Ye Mingsheng began to deal with these bandit leaders on the one hand, and on the other hand he also counted the wealth on Baihu Mountain.
Although I had long expected that as the largest bandit in Liaoyang, Zhensanshan's accumulation over decades would be very amazing.
But after people actually sorted them out, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but be surprised. The food alone amounted to 500,000 shi and 300,000 taels of silver. As for the real highlight, the gold and silver jewelry. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, according to the evaluation of the pawn shop found, even taking into account the market depreciation caused by large-scale sales, these things are worth at least 300,000 taels of silver!
If Ye Mingsheng sells it slowly, these things can be sold for 500,000 taels, or even 800,000 taels of silver!
There is no doubt that this is a huge fortune for Ye Mingsheng, who is in a very difficult financial situation!
