Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei was still a little hesitant about how to deal with the leaders of the peasant army, but he knew that these leaders could no longer be with these peasant soldiers.

Seeing that Ma Xianglin proposed killing again, he thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know now, I'll think about it later."

Anyway, there are not many leaders of the bandits, and Hou Zhongxing can deal with it whenever he wants, a few people think so.

Now that the results of the treatment of the Peasant Army had come out, Ma Xianglin resigned to Zhong Jinwei, and went to bring out those leaders alone, and put them in custody separately.

These peasant troops have been in panic. Although they have said that they will not be killed if they surrender, but now they are fighting for the sword and I am for the fish.What if this Hou Ye, like that Hong Shatou, surrendered first, then turned around and killed all the people who surrendered to him, it would be miserable.

Then they saw that the cavalrymen who were eyeing tigers assigned their leaders to another place, and they felt a little better.

Now that these bosses are separated, they must be treated differently.They should be treated differently, at least they will not be worse than those bosses, otherwise why should they be separated, it would be easier to kill them all together.

On the contrary, the leaders of the peasant army became even more panicked at this time. At this time, none of them thought about what their rebellion could do to the [-]-year-old Ming Dynasty.However, they are also aware that such a day will come sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so early.

Zhong Jinwei didn't pay attention to those leaders first. After Ma Xianglin came back to report that they had separated, under the guard of a group of people, he came to the place where the peasant soldiers and soldiers were captured, and looked at the peasant soldiers who were ordered to squat on the ground. [

"You dare to rebel, according to the law, you will end up copying your family and exterminating your clan, but Ben Hou also knows that your rebellion is justifiable. So..." Zhong Jinwei has never watched Daming Law, but just opened his mouth based on the information he got in movies and TV shows. explain.When he said this, he stopped and glanced at these peasant soldiers squatting on the ground.

The squatting people all looked up at him, anxiously waiting for their own fate to be pronounced.

"So, Lord Ben sentenced you to labor reform..." Zhong Jinwei slipped his mouth and said the term of later generations, and he quickly changed his words, "I will exile you to Zhangjiakou and work for the government for free for ten years."

Speaking of this, he looked at these peasant soldiers in ragged clothes, and his sympathy came up again, and he immediately changed his words: "I have performed well on the way to Zhangjiakou, and I will not run or make trouble. After arriving in Zhangjiakou, it will be reduced to five years."

When these peasant soldiers heard this, they were exiled to Zhangjiakou. Is this also called exile?And it only takes five years without running or making noise on the road. As for working for the government for free, isn't that just corvee service?Since ancient times, corvee service has been given to the government for nothing, and you have to bring your own food, so there is no need to emphasize that it is free.Now it is impossible for me to bring food. Since I have to cook for five years, it means that the government will take care of the food for five years.

After their interpretation, Zhong Jinwei's reform-through-labor policy suddenly became a policy of good deeds in their eyes, and all of them immediately showed strange expressions on their faces, and then ecstasy.

When these peasant soldiers were thieves, not only their lives were not guaranteed, they were always worried about the encirclement and suppression by the government, and they didn't often have food, but they also lived in settlements.Now that they can go to Zhangjiakou to do business and have a change of food, given their current conditions, they even start to think about whether they should make a fuss on the road and prevent the government from subtracting those five years.

Zhong Jinwei looked at their expressions, although it was a bit strange, but he didn't care.

After checking the sky, he asked Ma Xianglin to send cavalry to escort the peasant army, and then asked Xie Dong to send ten Jinyi guards to coordinate the supply on the road.

The escorted white-rod cavalry came across the Datong Army and the caravan not far away.One hundred households of Jinyiwei conveyed the order of Marquis Zhongxing to let the [-] Datong Army take over the escort of the Peasant Army, leaving only [-] of the Baigan Cavalry Army, and the rest will take over the Datong Army and return to the Yellow River Ferry.

The people in the caravan saw the officers and soldiers escorting so many thieves, they were surprised and talked a lot.I didn't expect that the previous battle would be so big. Fortunately, I won it, otherwise so many thieves would meet head-on, and my caravan would be a sheep.

Then they saw the peasant army escorted away by the officers and soldiers. Instead of a trace of frustration or remorse, they all looked happy, and they couldn't help feeling puzzled.Judging from their faces, they would have thought that these thieves had won the battle!

Some of the businessmen's questions gradually came to Wang Yan, because he had the best relationship with officers and soldiers, and these businessmen subconsciously took him as the main one.

Wang Yan himself was also puzzled, and just happened to see a familiar Jin Yiwei, so he stepped forward to inquire.

The merchants were surprised and even more curious when they saw Wang Yan who came back from inquiring about the news. Several prominent merchants gathered around Wang Yan to gossip. [

After Wang Yan talked about the treatment Zhongxinghou gave to the bandits, these businessmen praised Zhongxinghou's benevolence and righteousness.

Other low-status businessmen find various reasons to gossip after these high-status businessmen finish gossip.There is no way, now walking is free to talk, there are so many questionable things, if you don't gossip, you will die.

Just chatting and walking, we soon arrived at the Yellow River Ferry.

Zhong Jinwei had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw them arriving, he did not give them a rest, and ordered them to follow the army directly into the territory of Shaanxi.Because of this battle, there was a lot of delay, and we had to get off the road to reach the scheduled campsite.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Jinwei finished writing the memorial, handed over the letter and sent it to Emperor Chongzhen with a [-]-mile express delivery.

Then he counted and found that he had left the capital for more than a month, and he didn't know whether the capital was gradually implementing the steps he had discussed with Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhong Jinwei also thought that after today's encounter, he should return to the capital earlier than expected.After arriving in the capital, it was time to bid farewell to being a bachelor.

Not to mention, it’s fine to not think about it when you’re busy, but when you calm down like this, when you think of your marriage, Zhong Jinwei thinks of Archie who is far away in Tongzhou, and can’t help but miss him very much.

In this world, the person Zhong Jinwei can talk to the most is Archie.When he just crossed over, Archie went to serve him, and Zhong Jinwei talked to Archie about everything when he was scruples.

Then Emperor Chongzhen issued a seal order, and only Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen, and Wen Tiren knew about the inside story of Zhong Jinwei's origin from later generations.

It is impossible for Zhong Jinwei to chat with these people about the things of future generations as he likes, but he has no problem in front of Archie, and Archie is gentle, considerate, and understanding.The combination of these reasons made it impossible for Zhong Jinwei to miss her.

Thinking of holding Archie in his arms after getting married, and talking about various things in the future, Zhong Jinwei felt a little bit like an arrow.

At the place where Zhong Jinwei wanted to go back early, the topics of the capital these days have all focused on the eight major Shanxi merchants.

The property obtained from the ransacking of the house was quietly escorted to Beijing the night before and deposited in the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty.

Then the next day, the prisoners were escorted into the capital in a big way, which suddenly changed the topic of the people in the capital from the success or failure of the death camp.

When the imperial court announced the crimes of the public interrogation of the eight Shanxi merchants, it was really empty for thousands of people, and the people of the capital flocked to listen. Many people even brought things that could be thrown away to serve those traitors.

According to the person who cleaned the floor later, the pigs in his family had enough rations for a year.

The interrogation went smoothly, and the results came out immediately, and there were instructions on the same day before and after the delivery.

The patriarchs of the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, together with Jianlu Hesheli Xifu, were sentenced to beheaded. The immediate relatives of the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants and the accomplice Zhangjiakou Guard and others were sentenced to beheaded. Most of the rest were exiled to Qiongzhou. Join the Jiaofang Division.

In the capital, almost everyone denounced the crimes of the eight Shanxi merchants as soon as they met. Every restaurant and restaurant was filled with indignant complaints, scolding these Shanxi merchants for their money and their shameful behavior of forgetting their ancestors.

Of course, there are also some people who are discussing how much property the court has copied out this time, and they are afraid that they will be exhausted.

But not long after, some people in the capital got the news in advance and forgot about these things again.
