Chapter 415 Kill(1/2)
Governor Yang's roar seemed like thunder, echoing throughout the chaotic battlefield.
Everyone stopped.
"The Red Turban Army retreated to the North Shore!"
Yang Xin shouted.
The command flag of the Red Turban Army on the North Bank was immediately waved, and at the same time, the gongs sounded, and the soldiers silently retreated with the wounded and dead bodies. The soldiers who had swam across the river also rushed here. Then, under the gaze of the regiments, they climbed the bridge to retreat to the north bank. At the same time, the cavalry who reported the news on the other side went straight to Wanshi Bridge to convey the order to retreat to the Red Turban Army there.
Governor Yang, who was still holding Du Yinxi, nodded with satisfaction.
"Let me go!"
Du Yinxi roared.
Governor Yang threw him away, and then poor Du Yinxi completed the process of falling into the water that he should have completed.
Governor Yang, who abandoned him, went straight to the shore.
"Are you Lu Guoyun?"
Yang Xin shouted majesticly.
"Lu Guoyun, the governor of Yixing's regiment training, met the governor!"
Lu Guoyun quickly saluted.
"Why attack the Red Turban Army Defense Zone for no reason?"
Yang Xin shouted.
"When returning to the governor, the students learned that the Red Turban Army attacked the Suzhou regiments patrolling Taihu Lake and besieged the Suzhou regiments in Majishan. Since the Red Turban Army had already started the battle, the students and the Suzhou regiments were watching and helping each other, so they naturally could not sit still. Therefore, they led the army to attack Caoqiao, so as to force the Red Turban Army to rescue the siege and retreat."
Lu Guoyun said.
"real?"
Yang Xin said.
"When the governor comes back, how dare the students deceive the governor?"
Lu Guoyun said quickly.
Of course, it’s enough for everyone to know whether it is true. Yixing Tuanjian and Suzhou Tuanjian have indeed watched over and helped each other, and it can even be said to be in a collusion. Lu Guoyun cannot know that it was Jin Zhijun who attacked Xueyan first.
But Governor Yang just thought he was telling the truth.
"It seems that you were deceived by Jin Zhijun. He led the Suzhou regiment to attack Xueyan and massacre the elderly, weak, women and children, which aroused the Red Turban Army's counterattack. Although you violated the order to attack the Red Turban Army, it is understandable. But you must not continue to fight. Since you are here, you will temporarily quit the battle with Qiao and Wanshiqiao in the future, waiting for Your Majesty's imperial edict. Without this command, the commander-in-chief is strictly prohibited from crossing the border. If you violate the order, be careful of Shangfang's sword."
Yang Xin said.
"Why? It was supposed to be the truce of the Ethereum Canal, and the Red Turban Army at least retreated across Caoqiao."
Du Yinxi, who had crawled out of the water, said angrily.
It seems that he is not seriously injured.
"Young man, you were the one who blocked my governor from catching Gao Panlong in Wuxi last time? Isn't you awake when I was thrown into the water twice? This world is based on your ability. If you can reach Caoqiao at this time, I will let you divide the boundary with Caoqiao. If you want to reach Wujincheng at this time, I will let you break the canal. But now you are being beaten by the Red Turban Army and escaped here. If I hadn't come here, they might have hit Yixing directly. Since they hit here, they will naturally divide the boundary with this. If they are not convinced, the governor allows you to continue fighting.
This governor will not interfere. If you can drive the Red Turban Army to Caoqiao, the governor will change it immediately. But if the Red Turban Army attacks Yixing, the governor will not come back for you."
Yang Xin said.
Du Yinxi glanced at him in grief and anger.
Then he squatted aside in humiliation, looking at the red scarf on the other side, just like he faced the broken mountains and rivers twenty years later in history.
"Lu Dujian, do you understand?"
Yang Xin asked Lu Guoyun.
"Students understand, students obey orders."
Lu Guoyun said.
He was already awake at this time. Don’t mention counterattacking Wu Jin or something. If he can defend this line of defense, don’t let the Red Turban Army burn high incense when it hit Yixing. As for the others, he doesn’t care about it. This is not something he can only take care of with a small show.
"You, get up and follow me to Majishan."
Yang Xin said to Du Yinxi.
The latter answered silently, and then Governor Yang grabbed his back, picked it up and threw it on the dragon boat.
Then Yang Xin jumped on the dragon boat. The dragon boat continued to move forward at full speed and soon arrived at Wanshi Bridge. The battle was already on hold. The Red Turban Army, which had already crossed the bridge, was retreating back to the north shore. Yang Xin continued to move forward and quickly entered Taihu Lake, and then headed straight for Maji Mountain. At this time, Maji Mountain was actually an island. Jin Zhijun retreated from Xueyan and was preparing to cross Taihu Lake to return to Suzhou, but was surrounded by militia and had to go up to Maji Mountain. Then tens of thousands of militias landed on the island, surrounding them in total less than two thousand of their defeated soldiers on the island.
Governor Yang’s handling is very simple.
"Disarming!"
He climbed Maji Mountain and shouted to the group trainers.
"Governor Yang, what is the crime of Jin eliminating thieves for the country?"
Kim Jee-joon questioned with righteousness.
"You killed three hundred and fifty women, one hundred and sixty children, the youngest was not full month old, and the oldest was eighty-two. Is this your elimination of thieves for the country?"
Yang Xin said.
"This generation is all thief, and even if you follow the law, you should kill him."
Kim Jeong said.
Governor Yang slapped him in the face.
Jin Zhijun screamed and squirted out a mouthful of blood and a few teeth, then turned around and fell to the ground, and then Yang Xin's feet fell on him, and he stomped on him.
However, Jin Zhijun also knew the general idea. After all, he was also a smart man who surrendered to Li Zicheng and then surrendered to Dorgon. After confirming that pretending to be justice was useless, he immediately hugged Governor Yang's leg and began to beg for mercy. Du Yinxi, who was on the side, ignored him.
Yang Xin felt a little relieved after kicking for a while.
"Tie him up, send him to Xueyan, and find an executioner to Lingchi to execute him."
Yang Xin said.
The paddler who followed him was actually a soldier of the bandit army. He immediately stepped forward to drag Kim Zhijun away, and the Red Turban Army waiting in the distance cheered.
This guy is so hateful.
He brought the regiment to Xueyan to land in the Snowy, not to attack Wujin or build a base in the Snowy, but to kill people and use massacre to provoke wars. So after he landed, he really did not leave any living people, both men, women, young and old. Most of the regiments recruited by this guy were gangsters, and there were not many good people. Although the militias in Xueyan resisted desperately, because they attacked at night, a large number of elderly, weak women and children who did not have time to escape were still injured.
Now I will use Lingchi to pay tribute to the murdered elderly, weak, women and children.
"As for you, those who have never killed women and children tie up those who have killed women and children. Those who resist will kill them. I don't care whether you are on order or not. As men holding weapons, but killing unarmed women and children, then they can only pay their lives."
Yang Xin said to the remaining group training.
The faces of several regiments changed recently. They hurriedly raised the bird gun in their hands, but before he could fire, several regiments next to them pulled the trigger, and then the men fell down.
The other group trainees who had killed women and children fled to the mountains without hesitation.
The next moment, Yang Xin jumped out.
Immediately afterwards, the heads of the escaped group trainees landed.
At the same time, the group trainers who had never killed women and children started to fight. After a short and chaotic battle, more than 300 group trainers were taken down. Their handling was also very simple. They also handed over to the Red Turban Army waiting, but instead of sending them to the snow-harves, they loaded the ship to Suzhou.
The next day, Suzhou.
More than 300 groups of trainees were lined up in the court, surrounded by their family's crying.
"Governor Yang, isn't the Governor afraid of disappointing the soldiers who killed the enemy for the country?"
Yingtian inspector Xu Ji said angrily.
"I am really not interested in the soldiers who kill women and children. I behead them all and pass them on orders. If there are any soldiers who kill women and children, no matter who they are, I will behead them."
Yang Xin said.
The executioners looked at each other.
These are the executioners of Suzhou Prefecture. Behind them, Xu Ji, Xu Bida, Su Songdao, Suzhou Prefect, a group of civil servants staring at it as heavy as water. There were also a bunch of local gentry stomping their feet and trembling. One of the executioners suddenly screamed and fainted, and then the other executioners quickly woke up and fainted one after another.
"Uh, you're pretty good at playing!"
Yang Xin said.
"The governor is angry and resentful."
Xu Bida said.
"I just like this feeling."
Yang Xin said.
After saying that, he drew out the Shangfang sword, then shook it in front of Xu Bida, then walked to the team trainees, and began to chop off heads without hesitation.
He had to use iron-fisted means to clarify this rule for the Ming army. The next period of famine will surely rebel in the people. This is without any suspense. In fact, even Zhejiang has rebelled in history.
This national famine cannot be solved by reforms.
When large-scale production is extinguished in various places, no matter how hard he tries, it can only be said to be relieved. He cannot take care of everything in all places. There will definitely be famine and rebellion. Then the Ming army will be wiped out. He now needs to make a clear rule, at least not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, especially this kind of indiscriminate massacre is absolutely not possible, which can also reduce some population losses.
Now he feels increasingly unable to fight this catastrophic disaster.
To be continued...
