In the late Ming Dynasty, the most famous incident of civil servants beheading generals was none other than Yuan Chonghuan, the Minister of War at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who first beheaded and then reported to Ping Liao's chief military officer Mao Wenlong.

But at that time, we were already in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty. The civil servant group had been suppressed for hundreds of years, and the status of military commanders was extremely low.

Even if a high-ranking border official like Mao Wenlong was killed, the court did not hold Yuan Chonghuan accountable for his crimes. It was not until the situation collapsed that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, and Emperor Chongzhen became angry and settled the old score.

Now Shen Yichen walked into the commander's tent with a three-foot sword and full of murderous intentions. He didn't know what kind of punishment he would suffer if he did something impulsive.

But Shen Yichen knew very well that if he did nothing, he would not be able to explain to the nearly 10,000 soldiers of Fuzhou Three Guards!

When I rushed into the tent, the first thing I saw was a big bed with several white bodies lying on it. Then I saw the maids serving on both sides and saw a group of strong men rushing in, and the leader was holding a weapon. .

In panic, the maid let out a piercing scream, which startled Commander Dou Yi on the big bed!

At this moment, his excitement was interrupted by a scream, so a nameless anger rushed straight to his forehead, and he subconsciously prepared to teach the maid who made the scream a lesson.

But when Dou Yi turned his head, what he saw was a group of fully armed officers and soldiers standing in the big tent, as if everyone was looking at him with fierce eyes.

"Who is this person and why did he appear in the general's camp!"

Dou Yi stood up in panic and asked the people in front of him.

At the same time, several prostitutes on the big bed started shouting after seeing this, and the entire camp was extremely noisy for a while.

"Shut up!"

Feng Zheng, who was standing behind Shen Yichen, finally couldn't help but speak out.

He had always known that the guard commander Dou Yi was unbearable, but Feng Zhengcheng had followed the capital commander Deng An during his years, sitting in the Dusi Yamen in Fuzhou Prefecture, and rarely came to the military camp to see Dou Yi.

Even if he comes, if he happens to encounter Dou Yi "doing business", he will be stopped by the soldiers just like today.

So Feng Zheng really didn't expect that the dignified Fuzhou Three Guards, who were directly subordinate to Shangguan, would be so miserable, which would put all the soldiers to shame!

The effect of Feng Zheng's shout was very obvious. Several prostitutes and maids who were shouting in terror immediately closed their mouths and huddled in a ball, shivering.

However, Feng Zheng's appearance made Dou Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

When he saw such a group of people rushing in just now, he thought it was a bandit army led by Ye Zongliu and others who had raided Fuzhou Prefecture.

Since it is not a bandit army, it means that there is no danger. Dou Yi will have to be much tougher in the face of his absence.

"Feng Qianshi, who gave you the courage to break into the general's camp? Believe it or not, I will take you down on the spot and hold you accountable!"

"I gave it to you!"

Almost the moment Dou Yi finished speaking, Shen Yichen gave a cold answer.

Hearing Shen Yichen's voice, Dou Yi noticed that the person standing at the front was actually a young man wearing a fifth-grade civil official robe.

Even if today's world values ​​civility over military affairs, I am still a dignified third-grade commander. When will it be the turn of a fifth-grade civil servant to point fingers in the military camp?

"Who do you think you are? Where are the general's personal soldiers? Take this crowd down for me!"

Dou Yi shouted outside the tent, preparing to call his own soldiers to come in and get someone. However, when he shouted out, there was no response from outside the tent, as if the guarding soldiers suddenly disappeared.

During the Zhengtong Dynasty, although the generals almost all had their own loyal followers, they were far from the situation in the late Ming Dynasty where they only knew the commander-in-chief and did not know anyone else.

Shen Yichen has made it clear that he is the admiral of military affairs. If the soldiers still dare to rush in and confront him, it will be equivalent to being charged with conspiracy and may be punished according to law!

Who would dare to do such a thing as losing their head?

When he received no response from the soldiers outside the tent, Dou Yi finally realized that something was wrong, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

"Feng Qianshi, are you disobeying Shangguan and preparing to rebel?"

With no other choice, Dou Yi could only continue to show his identity as a superior officer and put pressure on the only "acquaintance" subordinate in the tent.

No matter what the situation is, you must at least take control of the military and ensure your own safety.

"Dou Yi, are you still going to resist?"

Shen Yichen asked coldly again. He didn't realize that the situation was out of control until he was about to die. No wonder the three Fuzhou guards were defeated under his command!

"Who are you?"

"Admiral Military Affairs Shen Yichen!"

Shen Yichen?

Hearing this name, Dou Yi was like a bolt from the blue, his eyes widened with disbelief written all over his face.

Didn't the commander-in-chief of the capital receive news that Shen Yichen had just arrived in Fuzhou today? Why did he arrive at Fuzhou Sanwei Station without even the most basic repairs?

At the same time, Dou Yi also understood why Feng Zheng was following this young man and why his personal bodyguards did not appear.

At this moment, the military power of the Three Guards in Fuzhou has changed hands.

"The last general, Dou Yi, commander of the Fuzhou Central Guard, paid a courtesy visit to Admiral Shen."

After confirming his identity, Dou Yi did not hesitate at all. He knelt on the ground and bowed to Shen Yichen. He was not a man of backbone to begin with. Now that the situation was stronger than others, he had to bow his head when he should.

"Okay, since Dou Weisi has paid homage to the superior officer, I will ask you if you know your guilt?"

Shen Yichen had no intention of being polite to the other party. He had already tightened his grip on the sword hilt, waiting for Dou Yi to confess his guilt.

If it were the Fujian Chief Envoy Zhang Chen or the Commander-in-Chief Deng An who asked this question, Dou Yi would choose to plead guilty without hesitation, give the other party a step down, and then find a way to ease his acquittal.

After all, if you were caught having promiscuity in the military camp, it would be absolutely impossible to impose a hard cap on you, and you could only retreat in order to advance.

But when Dou Yi, who was kneeling down, saw the shimmering sharp sword in Shen Yichen's hand, his heart couldn't help but beat suddenly.

Shen Yichen has taken office as a new official, does he really want to kill me?

No matter what, I am a dignified third-grade military attaché, who dares to use "lynching" without going through court trial?

Even if Shen Yichen was ordered by the emperor to supervise military affairs, he would not be able to obtain the power to kill first and report later. Therefore, Dou Yi could not believe that Shen Yichen really dared to kill him with one sword after pleading guilty.

But as he spoke, an inexplicable sense of fear surged over him, and Dou Yi did not dare to gamble!

"Admiral, the last general is a prince."

At this point, Dou Yi could only remove his backers. He believed that no one in the world would dare not give Wang Zhen face except the emperor.

"I know."

Shen Yichen nodded, his tone very calm.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have softened his attitude, Dou Yi felt happy and quickly said to please him: "General, I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again next time. As long as Admiral Shen spares me for a moment, I will definitely repay him in the future!" "

He could give Wang Zhen tens of thousands of taels of gold and secure his position as the commander of the guards. Dou Yi could also bribe Shen Yichen with a considerable sum of money to help him "atone" for his sins.

"There will be no next time."

Before Dou Yi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Yichen's verdict like the King of Hell.

As Shen Yichen raised his knife and dropped it, a strong smell of blood hit his nostrils, and Dou Yi's head suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, there was a frightened scream from the woman in the house.

The sudden appearance of this scene made everyone behind Shen Yichen stand blankly on the spot, feeling a little shocked in their hearts.

To be honest, when Shen Yichen drew his sword and entered the camp, everyone, including Wu Rui, thought that Shen Yichen was just pretending to scare the other party, and it was impossible to actually kill Dou Yi himself.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty was founded, and there has never been such a fierce civil servant, let alone an admiral who regards the national and criminal laws as nothing!

The fifth-grade Zuo Chunfang bachelor killed the third-grade guard commander on the spot without any intention. No one knew what the court and the emperor thought of it. Just the fact that this incident was spread out was simply shocking!

In fact, not only everyone was surprised, but even Shen Yichen's own hand holding the sword hilt was trembling.

He had seen a lot of dead people. Especially during the flood control period in Shandong, he had personally experienced what it meant to have corpses everywhere.

But Shen Yichen has never killed anyone with his own hands, and today is a precedent.

The impact of seeing a dead person and killing someone yourself is completely different. What's more, the person who died was a third-grade military attache. There will be endless troubles in the future. If you want to be calm and calm, that is not possible. possible things.

But even so, Shen Yichen still chose to take action!

There is no other reason. The situation in Fujian is far worse than imagined. The strength gap between the rebel army and the guards' officers and soldiers has reached a ratio of ten to one, or even more exaggerated.

The morale of the three guards in Fuzhou is low, and people's hearts are floating. The words of General Meng Da earlier, "Maybe they have rebelled long ago" are by no means an unruly statement, but something that may happen at any time.

If you want to gain the trust of the Fuzhou Three Guards in the shortest possible time, and even pledge their loyalty to the death, you must do something that will absolutely convince them, and bring justice to all the soldiers.

The head on Dou Yi's neck is the "certificate of surrender" given by Shen Yichen to the Fuzhou Three Guards soldiers!

"Feng Qianshi, take out Dou Weisi's head. This is my order to the officers and soldiers of the Three Guards in Fuzhou."

Shen Yichen's words woke up Feng Zheng. He looked at the dead head on the ground and swallowed hard subconsciously.

"I will obey your orders!"

When Feng Zheng mentioned Dou Yi's head on the ground, only the word "ruthless" remained in his mind.

No wonder Shen Yichen was able to make an extraordinary contribution to flood control at such a young age, and to hold a high position and oversee the military affairs of a province.

With this fierceness alone, many generals fighting on the battlefield cannot do it.

And having said that, Shen Yichen was not only ruthless, he was even ruthless to himself.

Feng Zheng didn't know how Shen Yichen was going to deal with the mess in front of him. His reputation and career might be destroyed with just one sword!

The fence that separates the camp of the general and the soldiers is already densely packed with soldiers from Fuzhou Three Guards. There is no end in sight at a glance. They are all looking forward to how Shen Yichen can severely punish Dou Yi and return those innocent people who died. His robe is fair.

As time passed, Dou Yi's coach's tent was finally opened again, and Feng Zheng and others walked out.
