"Wow!"
"The Manchu soldiers are mighty!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
…
The entire school grounds cheered.
The momentum of the entire Xuanfu Town was stimulated by a series of serial operations, and could be maintained for a long time.
First, Hou Gongji described the shame of Xuanfu, which aroused the sense of shame among the soldiers in Xuanfu Town!
Then Chongzhen tore off the fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty, and aroused the anger of the sergeants who hated the country's humiliation!
Man Gui served as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. He first killed two generals to shock him, then appointed three tiger generals, You Shiwei, You Shilu, and Liu Zhaoji, to beat them, and then announced rewards.
Coupled with Mangui's own reputation and his actions after taking office, the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu felt that this commander-in-chief was very reliable and he would really come forward when necessary.
The problem of salary arrears was solved when I first came here, and there were many rewards. People who do practical things will always be trusted.
Hou Gongji, Chongzhen, and Mangui made the third fire, and Mangui himself made the third fire.
As long as Mangui doesn't make any mistakes, Xuanfu will be absolutely worry-free in the short term.
If they can fight against the Mongolian tribes and achieve a small victory or a tie, then the rise of Xuanfu is just around the corner.
"My fellow soldiers, although I will not stay in Xuanfu for too long, I will always pay attention to Xuanfu.
And he left the Huben Guards in Xuan Mansion, and the sons and gentlemen, who only lived for a few decades, began to practice.
Build a good future for yourself, protect a peaceful living space for your relatives, friends, wife and children, and protect your descendants from being harmed by satisfaction! "
After Chongzhen finished speaking, the school ground was filled with shouts of fight, fight, kill, kill.
The eyes of Han Huang, Hou Xi and others on the side were full of sighs.
What the emperor said is very interesting. From beginning to end, he never said that their struggle was for the Ming Dynasty, but for themselves.
In the past, the interests of family and country were suppressed, and the sergeants also resented it. The goals of struggle were obviously different, and the motivation was naturally different.
Chongzhen got off the general platform and walked around the school grounds on horseback, attracting cheers from countless sergeants.
While he was inspecting, among the crowd of merchants, an old man looked at Chongzhen's figure, his eyes full of fear, his forehead covered with sweat, and his body trembling involuntarily.
Because the person he called "young man" outside Xuanfu City a few days ago was the new emperor in front of him.
He seemed to have seen the black and white impermanence standing beside him, ready to take away his soul at any time.
But Chongzhen didn't notice this scene. After reviewing, Luan Jia returned to the governor's office.
Also returning were the generals of the Xuan Mansion and the leaders of the caravans, but the leaders could only stand inside the courtyard.
In the lobby, Chongzhen didn't even look at the generals and guards in the lobby, and drank tea by himself.
Hou Xi, on the other hand, reached out and picked up the first book in the stack of folders on the table and started reading.
"Cao Ju, who joined the army in the forty-sixth year of Wanli and was in charge of Huai'an Guards in Wandu... In the third year of Tianqi, he was awarded the title of General of Dushi Horse Camp on the North Road. At the end of the third year of Tianqi, he received two thousand taels of silver from Li Dazhi, a wealthy businessman of Dushi...
In the fifth year of Apocalypse, three wealthy shops were occupied on the pretext of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy...a total of 233,000 taels of silver were embezzled..."
Hou Yan's voice was very calm, but the general's face turned pale instantly, his body shook, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.
Hou Yu didn't care about his reaction and took out a second piece of information: "Liu Kang, a martial arts scholar in the 40th year of Wanli,
After waiting for three years, he was suddenly transferred to the Weizhou Guard Qianhu, the commander of Wandu Bureau. In the first year of Tianqi, he entered the army of Xuanfu Town and served as the garrison of Ximalin Fort on the West Road.
In the second year of Tianqi, we sold more than 60 war horses at the military horse farm under our jurisdiction and received more than 500 taels of silver...a total of 198,000 taels of silver..."
…
For a quarter of an hour, Hou Liu thought about the experiences and illegal activities of a guerrilla, a general, and three defenders.
Everyone he thought of fell to their knees on the ground, their eyes full of deathly gray, and the eyes of everyone else also had a look of fear.
"If you feel there is an error, you can check with Jin Yiwei!"
Listening to Hou Mi's last words, even in this depressing atmosphere, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched involuntarily.
The god asked Jin Yiwei to check. Isn't this the old man who hanged himself - looking for death?
"Do you want to continue reading this book?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison. The previous few people had gone into such detail. If I read it out again, it would be embarrassing.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Hou Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
Because time was short, Jin Yiwei only selected a few key points with poor official reputations and checked them. There were more than 40 people, and only less than ten were detailed.
If everyone just nodded and wanted to continue to announce it, it would be the end of the world.
Hou Yu raised his hand towards Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, all the evidence of the crime has been confirmed. Please tell me!"
After listening to Hou Xi's words, Chongzhen put down his teacup, looked at everyone, and said in a calm voice: "According to Ming law, how should they deal with it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Ming Code stipulates that officials who embezzle money and bend the law shall be punished with a penalty of not more than one guan of money, and a penalty of fifty rods. For every five guan of money, an additional crime will be added, and eighty guan of money will be punished by hanging. Based on the amount of embezzled money and the crimes committed by these people, The fault is Lingchi, Peeling, Intestinal, and Yi tribes..."
"Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment, please have mercy on me!"
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the general's contribution to the country, please spare my life. I am willing to hand over all the proceeds of corruption. Please have mercy on me!"
"Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong. The war is about to begin. Please give me a chance to make meritorious service. I have some martial arts skills. Killing one is enough to make a profit from killing two!"
…
At this moment, when the generals heard that the Lingchi and Zhu clans could no longer hold back, they all knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
They can die, but not just die.
If the three clans are killed, their family will be finished.
Moreover, it will be recorded in history books and will be infamy for thousands of years.
They would rather die on the battlefield, on the way to charge, or on the enemy's sword.
They are not stupid either. Those who can sneak into the guard are all smart people, and they all can see that the emperor does not want to kill them.
Otherwise, he would be like the two generals in the school grounds, killing the sacrifice flag directly, bringing him back here to talk nonsense with them.
"Do you think in your heart that I won't kill you?"
Chongzhen's words silenced the crying crowd.
Chongzhen pointed at the people on one side of the hall: "Those are the number one, second place, third flower and Jinshi in martial arts this year. They need martial arts skills and strategies.
Eighty-eight Wu Jinshi have been admitted this year, and there are still nearly a hundred to be recommended. Do you think I am short of people? "
Feeling the gradually solidifying atmosphere, Chongzhen continued: "The reason why I won't kill you is because Man Gui interceded for you.
He thinks that you are all useful people, so he wants you to perform meritorious service and kill a few more enemies, otherwise I will cut down your sacrificial flags directly. "
"You will hand over the money obtained from corruption and cooperate with Mangui to rectify Xuanfu Town.
If you make some trouble again, let's settle the old and new accounts together and get out of here! "
Looking at the generals leaving in embarrassment, Chongzhen shook his head.
Killing them is just a matter of words. Although it is pleasurable, it is a bit wasteful. The war is imminent, so it is better to let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
As for whether he would defect on the battlefield, as long as they dared, he would dare to kill these nine tribes.
With this kind of deterrence, Mangui will carry out his work more smoothly in the future.
After calming down and drinking another cup of tea, Chongzhen stood up.
"Let's go and meet those merchants and the wealthy merchants and gentry of Xuanfu Town!"
