Chapter 231 Heads Fall
Li Yangzheng and Yuan Shizhen really couldn't tolerate Yang Xin doing this.
This has exceeded the boundaries of this struggle, and Yang Xin's behavior is an escalation of the struggle.
Large-scale beheading scholars in public is no longer a matter of interest, but a trampling on the tradition of literary and nobles that has continued since the Song Dynasty.
This is a matter of principle.
It has not been in the Ming Dynasty like this for two hundred years.
Once Yang Xin made this bad news, future emperors would use this example. Those scholars from all over the country who held dead emperor tablets, held Confucius tablets to attack the government, cried in temples, and even buried the palaces immediately had a knife that could fall at any time. As long as Yang Xin killed these people, the case would definitely become a case. The emperor would ask that officials from all over the country would use this to flatter the emperor in the future. In the end, this unspoken rule that would not dare to kill them even when they made trouble will be completely destroyed.
Anyone who dares to do this in the future will be in danger of beheading.
This is a destruction of the rules.
Absolutely not to retreat.
Concessions can be made in disputes between interests, but disputes between principles cannot be retreated.
Huang San turned around and looked at Yang Xin.
"cut!"
Yang Xin said.
The soldiers of the bandits pressed down the green insects one after another.
"Those who dare to kill these scholars will die!"
Yuan Shizhen shouted.
The mercenaries behind him aimed at the bandits with guns.
"The Emperor of the Dangbang Army was specially formed to supplement the insufficient military strength of the Jinyi Guard. It was commanded by Yang Xin, the deputy general of the Governor's Office of the Jinyi Guard. The main officers were all from the Jinyi Guard. Attacking the Bangbang Army was like attacking the Jinyi Guard. You'd better think clearly what this move means. I will confiscate your family afterwards. Don't think that I can't find you. You are all from the Northwest Frontier Army. Just go to the Guard to investigate. Are there any Jinglu Guards here? The Zhao family of Jinglu Guards and I are brothers.
At that time, do you think these officials will save you?
What are you in the mind of Master Guan? Don’t you know?
You can just abandon them after using them. They will save these scholars because they are in the same group as these scholars, but what qualifications do you have to be with these officials? Who is Yang? You have also heard of who I want to kill, and the people I want to kill have not escaped."
Yang Xin looked at the mercenaries and changed into Shaanxi dialect.
The mercenaries looked at each other.
They are indeed from the Northwest Frontier Army.
Especially in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia area, they were not only poor but also had a strong civilian customs in war with the Mongolians all year round. At this time, the accurate name of Shanxi merchants was Western merchants. They were an alliance between Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants. They wanted to hire thugs to confirm that this area was the most ideal. Those old military households who were originally from military households but were poor due to the corruption of the ward system were also willing to be thugs to make money. But even if they hired mercenaries, they had their own relatives. Attacking the Jinyiwei would definitely confiscate their families.
It is OK to kill someone for the employer’s wages, but killing the Jinyiwei is another matter.
What's more, Yuan Shizhen is not their employer yet.
Their employers were those salt merchants, and they lent them to Yuan Shizhen just to give Yuan Shizhen face.
"cut!"
Yang Xin said during their hesitation.
Huang San looked at his son, who immediately raised his knife.
They are not those mercenaries. By this time, these soldiers can be regarded as absolutely loyal to Yang Xin and are not afraid of dying for Yang Xin, because they know that death will not be in vain. The relatives of the fallen soldiers had arrived and had been sent to Tianjin for resettlement.
Yang Xin has given them the future.
And in front of him was Fang Dayou. The Shandong Governor of the Qing Dynasty in history finally woke up at this time...
"Duke Yuan saves me!"
He screamed heart-wrenchingly.
All the green insects were screaming heart-wrenchingly.
They really didn't expect that this would be the result. These scholars who were spoiled during the Shenzong period still remained in their happy Wanli period. At that time, they could block the yamen when they were willing to block the yamen when they were willing to cry, and cried the temple when they were willing to protest, and even dared to block the emperor's house. In their imagination, the result this time would be no different from before, it was nothing more than the emperor surrendering to them, and they casually introduced a guilty conscience to take care of the emperor's face...
This is what Chen Youxue does.
Then they let the people see that the gentry had the final say in the world.
And these scholars still represent justice, and they are the justice that will win, but how is it different now from what you imagined?
Why are you going to lose your head?
Those scholars really cried, they didn't want to die!
On the river in front of them, the hired boatmen were supporting the boats that blocked the canal through the pontoon bridge passage one by one. More ships carrying blue worms were still moving forward behind them. The deck was full of blue worms, and they were silently watching one hundred and eight companions who were pressed down by the canal.
As for how these greenworms choose, they have to decide themselves, or the result of the killing.
"Who dares to kill!"
Yuan Shizhen and Li Yangzheng shouted loudly.
But as they shouted, the knife in Huang San's son's hand turned into a cold light, and then Fang Juren's head fell in the blood spray.
"Open fire!"
Yuan Shizhen yelled.
However……
There was silence behind him.
Yuan Bingbei turned around in shock and looked at the mercenaries who were putting down their bird guns.
All the mercenaries were putting down the bird guns in their hands...
"I'm a bodyguard, not a thief!"
The recent mercenary said with a simple face.
"Silence can be earned, but don't do anything about scouting the house and killing the nine clans."
his companion next to him added.
Yuan Bingbei was speechless and sad, and then sat on the ground as if he was limp.
As for those cavalry...
These mercenaries have stopped, and they are not making a fuss about it, not to mention that Li Yangzheng is not stupid. Since Yuan Shizhen has not succeeded, of course he will not succeed, and it would be too stupid to stand up. By the way, this kind of old man knows how to give in when encountering things.
"Continue to kill!"
Yang Xin's voice rang out immediately.
Fang Juren's dead body fell on the bank of the canal, and his head rolled into the grass by the water. He was staring at the sky with his eyes open with his eyes open beside a wild flower.
