A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 150 Execution

Chi Dengshan said: "I heard that there is no movement outside. It seems that the officers and soldiers who made a fuss were all taken care of by Wang Dou. If we don't go there now, then Wang Dou will definitely be suspicious of us."

Huang Xian'en just said repeatedly: "I won't go, I won't go, I don't dare to see Mr. Morality, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

Seeing Huang Xianen's appearance, Chi Dengshan frowned. He didn't expect Huang Xianen to be such a waste. How could he ask him to plan such a big event beforehand?He couldn't help but regret it.

Zheng Yu looked dejected, and he also sighed: "Brother Chi is right, we are indeed going, otherwise Wang Dou will definitely be suspicious of us."

He looked solemn: "Remember, everyone, after meeting Wang Dou, we must insist that we didn't know beforehand. We are sick at home today, and we are completely unaware of our subordinates making a fuss about wages."

He said so, but he was not at all sure whether he could get away with it. Thinking of Wang Dou's ruthless actions, he couldn't help shivering.

Several people were talking about this when they suddenly heard a loud noise from the courtyard door, followed by the sound of footsteps pouring in, interspersed with the screams of servants from the mansion.

Chi Dengshan jumped up and shouted, "What's the matter?"

A family member pushed away from the room, and he rushed in, out of breath, and said, "My lord, they are here, they are here."

Everyone in the room was taken aback, Chi Dengshan yelled: "Tell me clearly, who is here?"

The family member was holding on to the door curtain, his eyes were protruding, he was gasping for breath, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak for a while.

"waste!"

Chi Dengshan kicked him away, and some servants crowded around them, rushing out the door.

As soon as they reached the corridor, they all stopped suddenly, only to see a large group of armored soldiers coming from the other end of the corridor. When they saw Chi Dengshan and the others, they shouted an order, and immediately raised the black gun, and the jet-black All the muzzles of the guns were aimed at Chi Dengshan and others.

Some of these people were armed with spears or firecrackers, all of them were tall and sturdy, they were actually the personal guards beside Mr. Cheng, as well as the armored firecrackers of the Korean Department under his command.

Chi Dengshan and the others' hearts sank, and they felt cold all over their bodies.

Those iron-clad firearms held iron blunderbusses. They bent down and pressed forward step by step. Chi Dengshan and the others trembled. They didn't dare to move. I'm not joking. Good medicine and matchstick, as long as the trigger is pulled, huge blood holes will appear all over their bodies. Chi Dengshan and others can't afford this risk.

The crowd parted, and Xie Yike, who was dressed in iron armor and had a face like cold dew, appeared in front of Chi Dengshan and the others.

Of course Chi Dengshan and the others in Xie Yike knew each other, and Chi Deng said eagerly, "Brother Xie, you, what do you mean?"

Xie Yike's small face was too serious, and he shouted: "Chi Dengshan, Huang Xian'en, Zheng Yu, the three of you started a rebellion, harmed the people, and committed a heinous crime. This General Banner has ordered you to be arrested and brought to justice immediately. Come with me to see the Moral Lord."

Chi Dengshan and the others were taken aback. Raising troops to create chaos is a very serious crime, almost synonymous with rebellion. Huang Xian'en tremblingly shouted: "Brother Xie, we have absolutely no intention of doing this. This must be a misunderstanding. Please also thank you brother Say a few words for us in front of adults."

Zheng Yu also said in a deep voice: "I didn't know about the disorderly soldiers making wages. I didn't know about it when I was in the mansion. I just heard about it. If my subordinates have soldiers involved, the governor of the town is at most lax in controlling his subordinates. There is no way to talk about the chaos. This crime is safe." not over our heads."

Chi Dengshan said: "This is a piece of nonsense, our loyalty can be learned from the sun!"

Xie Yike sneered and said, "Say what you said to Mr. Morality!"

He shouted: "Catch them all!"

Chi Dengshan and the others yelled: "We are not guilty, why should we be arrested? We refuse to accept it!"

The servants in front of him also clamored, brandishing their weapons and shouting loudly.

Xie Yike was startled and angry, he shouted: "How dare you resist arrest? My lord has an order, and anyone who resists arrest will be killed on the spot!"

With the loud bang of the firecrackers, several servants were knocked to the ground on the spot. Several firecrackers jumped up and pulled the triggers on the servants in front of them. Every time a flash of fire came out, a servant screamed and was knocked over. on the ground.After the few firecrackers retreated, another black mass of firecrackers moved up.

The smell of gunpowder and blood spread in the cold air. There was silence at first, followed by exclamations, and then the screams of those who fell to the ground and did not die.Then Xie Yike's slightly younger stern voice sounded again: "Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"

Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side really fired the gun. Looking at the brother who died tragically beside him, and then seeing the dark fire gun moving towards him again, all the servants collapsed. They knelt on the ground in horror and shouted: Shoot, we surrender, we surrender."

There was a group of kneeling people, and the armored gunmen on the opposite side were holding iron guns, pressing forward step by step.
"Throw away the weapon and kneel on the ground!"

Chi Dengshan sighed, and said: "Don't make meaningless resistance, let's talk about it after meeting the adults."

Huang Xian'en cried: "I knew there would be a big disaster, you don't listen to me."

Chi Dengshan threw away the big knife in his hand and knelt heavily on the ground, his heart had fallen into an abyss.

Zheng Yu hesitated for a while, before he dropped the weapon in his hand, several Wang Dou's personal guards rushed up, swept him to the ground, and twisted his hands.

"Rogue!"

The handles of several firecrackers hit him hard, Zheng Yu convulsed in pain and knelt down involuntarily.Chi Dengshan was also hit heavily in the face by a bludgeon, bleeding immediately, his face was stern.He was dizzy, and he could only faintly hear Huang Xianen's terrified crying.

……

Li Zhenyu, the magistrate, seemed to be acquainted with Wang Dou for the first time, and he said in a nonchalant manner, "Wang... Lord Wang, there are hundreds of rebel soldiers, accounting for half of the army in the prefecture city. You mean, execute them all?"

Wang Dou said coldly: "What's the use of keeping these people who harm the people? Not to mention half of the officers and soldiers, even the entire officers and soldiers rebellion, I will punish them all!"

Li Zhenyu murmured: "They, they are officers and soldiers!"

Wang Dou shouted: "Because they are officers and soldiers, they can't be merciful. As officers and soldiers, they should protect the people, but they did such beastly acts. How is it different from bandits? If they are not severely punished, what do the people of the state think?" I, Wang Dou? How will I rule the army?"

Li Zhenyu said: "Execution of hundreds of people is really too many murders. It's better to kill only a few of the chief criminals. The rest are better educated. Most of these officers and soldiers have family members inside and outside the city. If they are killed, their families will be orphaned and widowed." It's hard to live, why not let them go back to the camp after Director An, the whole family will definitely be grateful for your kindness and kindness."

Wang Dou shouted: "My kindness is only given to those good people who abide by the law and protect the people, not to things that are inferior to animals. How can these rebels be the chief villain? They have dependents in their families, and the people in the city are Who doesn't have family members? When they raped and plundered, did they consider the pain of innocent people, and did they consider the victims of their own family members? If they dare to rebel, they need to think about the result of their own decapitation. This official never tolerates rebellion and conspiracy! "

What else did Li Zhenzhen want to say, Wang Dou glanced at him, and his tone was quite serious: "Li Zhizhou, you are talking for the rebellious army, what is your intention?"

Li Zhenyu was startled, he waved his hands again and again and said: "I have absolutely no intentions, absolutely no intentions!"

He had already forgotten his advantage as a civil servant, and he couldn't help saying in the tone of a subordinate: "What your lord ordered, I will do it right away, and do it right away!"

He hurried away, and the rest of the officials also rushed there, not even daring to look at Wang Dou.
