Chapter 105: Flattering to the horse's legs

The snow-white knife light slashed like lightning, and blood immediately splattered. Dozens of human heads fell on the stage, and the headless corpse fell to the ground. The whole audience was first dumb and silent, then the sound became louder and louder, and finally there was a buzzing sound, cheering, cursing, and some teeth-like sounds intertwined.

“It’s so scary.”

"Okay, kill well!"

...

"Wow." A team of soldiers carrying clear water came up and quickly washed the blood on the platform clean. Then dozens of people were taken up. The leader who was taken up this time was Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou, and dozens of Qingzhou officers of all sizes. These officers were selected from the arrested officers and soldiers according to their official positions. This platform could not accommodate nearly a thousand people at the same time. They could only choose people of higher levels to execute in public. The place where other people's executions were held inside the military camp.

Seeing his commander coming up, the Qingzhou army in the east was a little turbulent. Although the rumors had already spread throughout the military camp, many people were still half-believing and half-doubted. When they saw Yan Rong being escorted, they could imagine the shock in their hearts when they saw that Yan Rong was really escorted.

An officer walked to the dozens of Qingzhou officers escorted and said loudly: "The emperor has an order. The sky is nothing more than my ministers. However, these people dare to openly violate the Crown Prince's military order and still regard the people from the south as enemies, break into the houses, and act recklessly. Today, the execution of public execution is still a crime. I hope that the rest of the soldiers will take this as a warning, and the military order is like a mountain, so you must obey it!"

"Yan Ran, the general manager of Qingzhou!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You broke into a private house and raped a woman. You were sentenced to beat 60 military sticks in public. Are you convinced?"

Despite his preparation, Yan Rong's face was still red when he was questioned in front of tens of thousands of people. This was probably even more uncomfortable than the sixty military sticks. He just replied in a low voice: "I'm not convinced."

"Speak louder, you won't hear it."

Yan Rong secretly hated in his heart, looking at the young officer muttered, "Boy, isn't it just to tie you up for an hour, so I need to take revenge on me like this?" But at this moment, when it fell into Qu Tutong's hands, he had to bow his head and respond loudly: "I'll be convinced!"

Qu Tutong's suffocation yesterday was wiped out and still had a stern face. He came to the next officer: "The General Yan Sheng of Qingzhou was out of the chariot and cavalry, broke into a private house, raped a woman, and was sentenced to publicly beat the sixty military sticks. Are you convinced?"

With Yan Ran taking the lead, Yan Sheng became much more cheerful and replied loudly: "I will be convinced."

"As the Qingzhou General Manager..., are you convinced?"

"I'll be convinced!"

...

"Beat!" Qu Tutong asked all the officers who committed the crime on the stage one by one, came back to the middle. With a command, dozens of soldiers immediately raised wooden sticks as thick as their arms and started beating them.

"Ba, bha, bha." Countless sounds of flesh coming, and the entire square was clearly heard.

Both the military and civilians were extremely shocked. When they were killed, Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, although many people in Jiankang praised them, some of them hated the Sui army, and the people suffered, and the war broke out. Whether it was high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they were inevitably suffering from military disasters. At the very least, their property was robbed, their wife and daughter were miserable, and their lives were lost, and their families were destroyed.

However, the Sui army had been in the city for a day, and the North City and the South City were basically unsuccessful. However, most of the people of Jiankang still had no idea. After all, they were just flesh and blood. Who knew when the Sui army would rush into their homes to rob. Now, seeing that the Sui army was really serious, they finally let go of half of their hearts.

The people on the stage beat up at most sixty sticks, and at least twenty or thirty military sticks. After so many military sticks came down, everyone's butts were covered in blood and were shattered and corrupted by the soldiers.

After these people went down, they were thirty-one death penalty. After these people knew that they would die, everyone was very dissatisfied, especially Murong Xun, who begged for mercy first, but after he failed to beg for mercy, he cursed Yang Yong. At this time, his mouth was blocked with cloth, and his face still looked rebellious.

Qu Tutong still announced the crimes they committed one by one. When he heard Murong Xun killing eleven people, including four women and three children, the Jiankang people in the middle cursed them, but the Sui army had different expressions, some were ashamed, some cursed, and some were dissatisfied. However, when he heard that these people were to be beheaded, the scene was terrible and quiet. No one expected that the prince would actually kill a general for the sake of the Jiankang people.

Qu Tutong did not ask them whether they were convinced. After reciting their crimes, he directly ordered the beheading. Dozens of heads fell to the ground, which greatly shocked the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians present.

These dozens of heads were undoubtedly very effective. Within a few days, the order of Jiankang was restored. The people who were originally uneasy returned to peace. The market was a little more prosperous than before. It seemed that Jiankang had never experienced a regime change. However, the north and the south had been separated for three hundred years. Facing the Sui soldiers patrolling the streets, the people of Jiankang were somewhat complicated.

It is obviously difficult to last until the military discipline is just based on shock. Many people have the idea of ​​making a small fortune after attacking Jiankang. After the prince strictly enforced military discipline, this idea was undoubtedly shattered to many soldiers. Yang Yong knew the truth about rewards and punishments. After publicly dealing with Yan Rong and others, he took out most of the rewards from the wealth confiscated this time.

In order to prepare for the New Year celebration for Chen Shubao, the entire palace was filled with property from all over the Chen State. Most of these wealth Chen Shubao had no time to enjoy and all returned to the Sui army. In addition to the accumulation of the Chen State's treasury and the search of some powerful ministers of the Chen army, the wealth was very amazing, worth tens of millions of yuan. Except for some too expensive things to be transported back to the capital as spoils, Yang Yong almost rewarded all of the money.

There are more than 200,000 troops in Jiankang City, and the most ordinary soldiers can also get dozens of taxes of money. After getting this money, all the soldiers were grateful to the prince. Because the complaints about the serious military discipline disappeared, everyone was ashamed. If they could get a fortune justly, no one would want to rob it. Moreover, for ordinary soldiers, even if they rob, they might not be able to rob it.

The capture of Jiankang and the Emperor of Chen was also captured, which did not mean that the Chen State would soon perish. The Chen army in various places still did not stop fighting with the Sui army. If they could not be wiped out with one spirit, they would likely fall into a long war. Of course, Yang Yong could not let this happen. After letting the soldiers rest for several days, Yang Yong issued an order, and the 200,000 troops were divided into three units, one of which went up the river to assist King Yang Jun of Qin to attack Chen Huiji's army, one went downward, attacking Xiao Yan and Xiao Xian's army in Wuxing, and the other went south by land to attack Lingnan directly.

These military operations were led by generals, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Gao Ying, Yang Guang and Yang Yong themselves stayed in Jiankang and did not follow the army. Only Yan Rong knew the shame and braved. He personally led his troops to attack Xiao Xian downstream despite the fact that he had not healed due to stick injuries.

Due to Chen Shubao's surrender documents, the three troops made great progress. Most of the Chen generals saw that the situation was hopeless after the Sui army was in the city, so they chose to surrender. More than ten days later, Chen Huiji, Zhou Luohu and others heard that the Chen State had been destroyed, and they also accepted the reality and led their troops to surrender. The largest military force of the Chen army after the fall of Jiankang also disappeared.

After Xiao Xian learned that Jiankang was defeated, he knew that he had no way out. Not only did he not surrender, he called himself King of Wu and led his troops to resist. Yan Rong was anxious and difficult to capture him.

After the army was dispatched, Yang Yong suddenly became leisurely. Now that Jiangnan is pacified, Yang Yong naturally had no worries, so most of the matter was left to Gao Ying and Lu Mulin around him.

Chen Keqing's house was regarded as Yang Yong's official residence in Jiankang. Although Yang Yong did not allow the Sui army to enter the private residence, the confiscation of the powerful ministers of Chen State was not restricted. Yang Guang, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Gao Ying and others also had their own residences.

The courtyard of Chen Keqing covers a very wide area, almost twice that of Yang Yong's East Palace. The pavilions, rockery, and lake waters inside are even more exquisite than those of the East Palace. Now just after the first lunar month, spring in the south of the Yangtze River has arrived, and the trees in the courtyard have begun to spit out spring buds, and even the fragrance of flowers is faintly heard.

Yang Yong sat in the pavilion, grabbed a handful of fried wheat flour from the stone table and sprinkled it into the small lake below. Dozens of red carp quickly emerged from under the water, scrambling to swallow the wheat flour floating on the water, splashing water.

Yang Yong didn't even have the interest in taking a look. His mind had already flown to Daxing City. It has been twelve years since he came to this world. He has integrated into this world. In this world, there are parents, brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, if he could still experience various family affections when he followed the Duke's Mansion, as the years grew, this family affection became increasingly weak. As the emperor's family, there were always various suspicions between fathers and sons and brothers.

Now he cares most about his wife and children. He has been leaving the capital for more than half a year. He suddenly felt strongly missing his wives and concubines. He doesn’t know how Yuan Qing'er and others miss him, and his two sons. When he returns to Beijing, he doesn’t know if he can still know their father.

A sound of "dong, dong" footsteps broke the temporary tranquility of the pavilion. Yang Yong raised his head and looked forward. He saw Yang Shi tiptoed over and asked unhappily: "What's the matter?"

Yang Shi showed a strange smile on his face: "Your Highness, good things, good things."

"What good thing? Could it be that there will be good news on the front line? Just leave these to Gao Ying and Lu Mulin to deal with them." Yang Yong said lazily.

Yang Shi shook his head quickly.

"What a good thing is that? Could it be that the capital city has ordered it."

Yang Shi shook his head. Yang Yong didn't even guess it several times, but Yang Shi didn't want to say what a good thing was. He just asked Yang Yong to go back and said mysteriously: "Your Highness, you will know when you go to the main hall."

Yang Yong was in no mood at this time. He let Yang Shi say that it was mysterious, but he was not moved at all. Yang Shi had no choice but to play with a flower gun in front of Yang Yong anymore and told the answer: "Your Highness, Lord Han sent someone to send two beauties to serve Your Highness."

"What a good thing? Tell Han Aiqing that I have taken his mind and let him take it back." Yang Yong didn't care. After capturing Jiankang, the palace maids in Chen Palace and the wives, concubines and maids in the families of various ministers in the Chen Dynasty who were killed were all captured. These people need to be taken to the capital. Most of their fate was rewarded by the emperor to various meritorious ministers as slaves and maids. However, Yang Yong also rewarded some people who were not important to He Ruobi, Han Qinhu and other generals. This was just a convention. If Yang Yong needed a woman, he could choose it himself, and there was no need to let Han Qinhu send it here.

Yang Shi scratched his ears and faces for a moment, not knowing how to describe it, and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, these two people are unusual."

"What an unusual method? Is it a beautiful country or a three-headed and six-armed way?" Yang Yong rarely joked. After being interrupted by Yang Shi, he talked a lot about missing his wife and children, and his mood improved.

Three heads and six arms, that could only scare people. Yang Shi muttered and said, "Your Highness, these two men are not only beautiful but also have an unusual identity. They are the two concubines Zhang and Kong, who are the favorites of Chen Shubao."

Yang Yong stood up from the stone bench in the pavilion: "You mean the two concubines Zhang Kong of Chen Shubao."

Yang Shi nodded: "That's right, Your Highness, this Concubine Kong is only twenty years old and is extremely beautiful. Although this Concubine Zhang is a little older, her beauty is not diminished at all. Moreover, if you can get Chen Shubao's favor for more than ten years, there must be something special. If Your Highness is so bored, you might as well let them come here to relieve Your Highness."

"Nothing." Yang Yong looked at Yang Shi coldly: "Are you thinking about this?"
