The next day, Ye Mingsheng sat alone in the study and meditated. After thinking for a full stick of incense, he found a piece of white paper and started writing... ·············Peer
Because the Daxinchang bank had misappropriated silver and made loan sharks at high interest rates, and Gu Shouting was corrupt, Ye Mingsheng was angry and planned to kill the Gu family as a warning to those with evil intentions within the Fengwu Army. These people put aside their greed and ambition.
However, because this was the critical time for the Fengwu Army to attack Yunbin and overthrow the Luoan court, many powerful people were paying attention to the development of this matter and wanted to use it as a guide for Ye Mingsheng's attitude toward the family members. Whether to support the Fengwu Army.
Therefore, considering the overall situation, in order to prevent the Luo'an court from uniting with the same enemy, Ye Mingsheng remained silent and did not issue an order to execute the Gu family.
Now Ye Mingsheng decided to make some changes to his orders, and only killed those members of the Gu family who were involved in these incidents. For those who were not involved in these incidents, the relatively innocent Gu family members spared their lives. They were only exiled to Liaoyang to fend for themselves.
One of the factors that made such a decision was Bae Ji-soo's plea. Bae Ji-soo said that she had just found out that she was pregnant that day, and then Gu An led a pair of children into the room and started crying and talking. The tragic experience of their family····························
To be honest, Pei Zhixiu has not encountered situations like this before, because everyone knows that she is Ye Mingsheng's concubine, so many people want to ask her to give Ye Mingsheng a pillow, to run for office, to plead for favors, and so on. There are all kinds of things. In the past, Bae Ji Soo ignored all these people!
But it was at that time that Bae Ji Soo found out that she was pregnant, which also made her emotionally sensitive. Peers
Therefore, when listening to what Gu Anshi said, she couldn't help but think back to her past, which also made her feel a little guilty. This also led Pei Jixiu to think that this was God's will to make her feel guilty for what she had done. To atone her sins, let her accumulate virtue for the child in her belly.
Although he intended to intercede for the Gu family, Pei Zhixiu also knew that those people were guilty of serious crimes, so Pei Zhixiu did not intend to intercede for the main prisoners such as Gu Shouting and Gu Zhongshi, but Pei Zhixiu wanted to ask Ye Mingsheng to let go of the ordinary people of the Gu family.
The Gu family has been in Yuyang for more than a hundred years, and there are more than 2,000 people in the clan. Although they have enjoyed the benefits brought by their status as Gu clan members, most of them have not participated in evil, so Pei Zhixiu I would like to ask Ye Mingsheng not to kill indiscriminately and to spare their lives outside the law.
Ye Mingsheng also understood Pei Zhixiu's thoughts very well. Pei Zhixiu's plea was indeed one of the factors that made him revise his decision, but it was not the decisive factor... ···········
The most important factor for Ye Mingsheng to make this decision was the situation on the battlefield in Yunbin!
The Fengwu Army's war in Yunbin is currently in full swing. Although the Fengwu Army has a great advantage and occupies the initiative on the battlefield, the enemy army also resisted vigorously in the Pingyang area. The Fengwu Army was completely defeated at a distance of The Luoan court is still some distance away.
Although the speed of the true cloud merger on the battlefield is advancing steadily, it is still slower than Ye Mingsheng expected, and the casualties of Fengwu Army are also greater. This also makes Ye Mingsheng realize that unifying the Great Zhou Dynasty is more difficult than Ye Mingsheng expected. He expected it to be more difficult. Peers
Even if he didn't win these powerful people to his side, he couldn't push them all to the Luo'an court and let them unite to deal with him and the Fengwu Army.
】
So after taking these factors into consideration, Ye Mingsheng revised his decision and only killed the Gu family members involved in the crime and exiled the innocent Gu family members!
At the same time, let the staff of the Coordination Office and the Foreign Affairs Bureau speed up negotiations with some figures in Luo'an, and try to divide the power and people of the Luo'an court as much as possible. It doesn't matter even if some concessions are made now. When the Fengwu Army is unified, Ye Mingsheng can completely refuse to admit his guilt. He doesn't have that much moral baggage.
After writing the warrant, Ye Mingsheng handed it to Ye Cheng and asked it to be handed over to the Central Council for specific execution, and Ye Mingsheng picked up a secret report given to him by the Coordination Office yesterday... ···················
Huo San reported to Ye Mingsheng that he has not yet found out who is investigating the Black Dragon Club and Akiyama Mori, but after his unremitting efforts, he has found out that the investigators are retired personnel from Feihu Camp, which means that The person behind the investigation comes from within the Fengwu Army.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's eyes also became profound. According to what he said, An Miaoyi, Murong Qingwu, and even Cui Shao had secretly conducted investigations in this area, but these three people were all smart people. After realizing that this was not something they should investigate, they decisively stopped and did not touch the matter again.
Now I don’t know who is so interested in this matter, and can recruit retired personnel from Feihu Camp as his private soldiers. It seems that the other party should have a military background, and his energy should be quite high, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible How dare you do such a thing! Peers
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but wonder who the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes was!
But no matter who the mastermind behind the scenes is, he has now left clues. Ye Mingsheng believes that Huo Sanhe and the Coordination Office will give him a satisfactory answer, lift the mysterious veil of this person, and let him appear in front of him. ·······························
······································
······································
Two hundred steps away from Pingyang City, dozens of Fengwu Army cavalry were riding tall horses to confront the Forbidden Army soldiers in the city, using all kinds of obscene words to stimulate Yang Chongqing.
"Yang Chongqing, you son of a bitch, get out of here, Grandpa Fengwujun!"
"What bullshit imperial army? Get your grandpa and I will get out of the city and fight for 300 rounds!"
"Yang, you are so shy. Did your mother give you the courage when she gave birth to you?"
··········
··········
Hearing the verbal insults from the Fengwu Army, the Forbidden Army officers and soldiers guarding the city were filled with righteous indignation. They wished they could all rush out of the city and cut into pieces the dozens of Fengwu Army cavalrymen who were spitting shit in front of the formation to vent their anger. The hatred in their hearts!
But as the protagonist, Yang Chongqing, there was no emotion at all. Standing on the city wall, he was even using a monocular to observe the Fengwu Army formation not far away with great interest.
Thousands of Fengwu Army cavalry were gathering there, and at the front of the military formation, surrounded by hundreds of guards, a middle-aged general wearing a red cloak was also watching Pingyang City.
Perhaps sensing something in the dark, the Fengwu Army general wearing a red cloak raised his head and looked towards the city gate tower of Pingyang. Seeing this, Yang Chongqing couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and then put down the gun in his hand. Monocular telescope. Peers
Seeing Yang Chongqing put down his telescope and standing next to him, Tang Peng looked at the smile on the face of the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses in front of him, and couldn't help but said with a complicated expression:
"Marshal Yang, your skills in cultivating your character are getting better and better!"
Yang Chongqing smiled and shook his head when he heard this, pointed at the Fengwu Army outside Pingyang City and said:
"Commander Tang, please don't ridicule me. Although these Fengwu Army cavalry scolded fiercely, you see they don't carry any heavy equipment, especially the heavy artillery that the Fengwu Army is most proud of. They didn’t bring them either, so there is no doubt that they didn’t really come to attack Pingyang,························"
"If I send troops to pursue them, they will run away if I send too many troops. Two legs cannot outrun their four legs. If I send fewer troops, they will easily be swallowed up. So the best way now is to use Stop!"
Speaking of this, Yang Chongqing said with some emotion:
"I also met Yuan Song in the early years. At that time, Yuan Song was a tough guy who dared to attack and fight. I don't know how he became the old turtle he is now after joining the Fengwu Army!"
"Yuan Song sent these cavalrymen to Pingyang City just to test our reaction and contain us. It seems that he has already set his sights on Lanjiapo and Helong Town, and wants to knock out our troops outside the city. The last few strongholds, and then come here to encircle Pingyang City!"
After listening to Yang Chongqing's words, Tang Peng also spoke with a solemn expression and a slight helplessness.
"Although the Fengwu Army under Yuan Song's attack is very slow, it is very stable. Every step is taken steadily and does not give us a chance to counterattack!"
"It seems that it is only a matter of time before the two strongholds of Lanjiapo and Helong Town are lost!"
Speaking of this, Tang Peng also suggested to Yang Chongqing:
"Marshal Yang, there are fifteen thousand soldiers and horses in Lanjiapo and Helong Town. Do you think we should arrange manpower to respond to them?"
Under Tang Peng's gaze, Yang Chongqing shook his head. Seeing this, Tang Peng hesitated and said: Peer
"If we don't respond, it will be difficult for them to escape from the encirclement of the Fengwu Army with the troops from Lanjiapo and Helong Town alone..." ············”
After listening to Tang Peng's words, Yang Chongqing said with a wry smile:
"How many people do you plan to arrange to meet him?"
Faced with Yang Chongqing's question, Tang Peng subconsciously wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He sighed helplessly and closed his mouth, and stopped talking about this issue.
Facing Yuan Song's tactics, you really feel powerless. You know what he wants to do, but you can't stop him.
Just like the group of Fengwu Army cavalry currently facing outside the city, you have fewer troops to support Lanjiapo and Helong Town. Not only will they not be of any use, they will also be annihilated by the Fengwu Army and only increase casualties. And if you send troops If there are more, it will be equivalent to a decisive battle!
Under Yuan Song's steadily advancing tactics, the Fengwu Army's logistics were guaranteed to be sufficient, and they could fire at least five hundred rounds of artillery shells a day. With such a strong artillery advantage, it was a kind of field battle with the Fengwu Army without relying on the city's advantage. Very unwise choice. Peers
Therefore, in the dilemma, Yang Chongqing could only choose to give up his plan to respond and watch helplessly as the Fengwu Army annihilated the Forbidden Army in Lanjiapo and Helong Town.
After cursing for more than an hour, the Fengwu Army who was calling for formation outside the city was also thirsty and returned to the military camp in the rear to rest.
Just when the Forbidden Army soldiers guarding Pingyang City thought they could finally be quiet, another group of dozens of Fengwu soldiers rushed over and continued to curse... ·············
As the saying goes, the clay figures are still earthy. Seeing the Fengwu Army endlessly, Yang Chongqing, who was originally in a good mood, couldn't help but have a cold light flash in his eyes, and coldly ordered to the men on the side:
"Pick ten Fengwu Army prisoners and throw them down from the tower. Tell the Fengwu Army that if they continue to scold the formation, they will pick ten Fengwu Army prisoners and throw them down from the tower every hour!"
"yes!"
After listening to Yang Chongqing's words, Tang Peng realized that Yang Chongqing was not as calm and calm as he had just shown. After a moment of hesitation, Tang Peng gave up his plan to stop Yang Chongqing. Peers
Although each has its own master, after all, we are all nominally part of the Zhou army. Therefore, the Fengwu Army and the Luo'an court still have a basic tacit understanding in terms of treating prisoners of war well. They will not deliberately abuse prisoners and cause more harm, and will basically protect the prisoners. Eat, drink and have diarrhea.
Although the Fengwu army outside the city is scolding them very dirty now, when their imperial army attacked Pingyang, they also scolded them dirtyly when they called for formation. The eldest brother did not talk about the second brother, and all the crows in the world were black.
Yang Chongqing's current actions are breaking the tacit understanding between the two parties. You must know that although they captured some Fengwu troops when they conquered Pingyang, there are undoubtedly more prisoners of the Imperial Army in the hands of the Fengwu troops. You broke the tacit understanding. You have to bear the price too!
At Yang Chongqing's order, ten Fengwu Army prisoners of war were thrown alive from the Pingyang City Tower, and immediately there were ten pools of blood under the city gate.
At the same time, the imperial troops on the city gate also read out Yang Chongqing's order. Seeing that Yang Chongqing was so crazy and ignored the unspoken rules and tacit understanding between the two sides, the Fengwu army who called the formation was extremely angry, but they still withdrew for the sake of the lives of their comrades.
Seeing this, Yang Chongqing couldn't help but have a hint of pride on his face, while Tang Peng next to him had a hint of worry in his eyes. After being silent for a while, he still raised his head and asked seriously:
"Marshal Yang, can you tell me what you plan to do next?"
"If we continue like this, we will not be able to consume the Fengwu Army. The Fengwu Army's artillery shells will kill us in Pingyang City... ············”
