Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 398
"Give me all in!"

boom!boom!
"Your Majesty!"

She Chongming, father and son, and An Bangyan were escorted into the big tent. Before they could see clearly what was going on inside the big tent, the escort kicked each of them on the crook of their legs, and they knelt down straight forward. on the ground.

This large tent is quite crudely furnished. It stands to reason that it is the large tent where those generals who pay attention to their status are located. The floor inside the tent must be paved with things.

But it is different here, it is directly bare land, it has been slightly leveled, but there are still small stones mixed in it.

The unprepared knelt abruptly, and a lot of gravel happened to be laid under the place where the few people were. Immediately, three muffled groans sounded from inside the tent, but they all resisted not to howl out.

At this moment, a somewhat familiar masculine voice suddenly came from in front of the three of them.

"She Chongming, An Bangyan, can you still remember the Bendu?"

The two raised their heads in an instant, and when they saw the once extremely familiar face in front of them, they both cried out in surprise:

"Governor Zhu!"

It was none other than Zhu Bianyuan, their old rival, who called out to the three of them!

Zhu Bianyuan was sitting at the head of the tent, and a group of generals lined up on both sides stared at the three old opponents in the middle, with disdain in their eyes.

Seeing that the two recognized him, Zhu Bianyuan smiled and nodded:

"That's right, it's the old man. You two haven't seen each other for a long time. Have you been living in a chic way recently?"

Zhu Bianyuan's words were full of ridicule, and the three of them who spoke directly bowed their heads in silence, their faces flushed and feeling extremely embarrassed.

After working hard for a while, She Chongming said helplessly:

"Governor Zhu doesn't need to humiliate us, as the saying goes, the king loses the bandit, since we are defeated, it's the Ming Dynasty who surrendered over there.

Please ask Governor Zhu to speak frankly about what punishment Daming has given us, we have nothing to say! "

Zhu Bianyuan didn't answer his words immediately, but picked up a token on the desk and played with it in his hands. After a while, he asked meaningfully:
"Oh? Are you really saying nothing about the court's punishment?"

"What are you talking about, just say it if you have something to say, dawdling like a bitch, I've never seen you dawdling like this before, hurry up and punish!"

As soon as Zhu Bianyuan finished speaking, She Chongming didn't say anything, but his son Sheyin urged him impatiently.

Zhu Bianyuan smiled, put down the token in his hand, then stood up, stared at the three of them with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Okay! Since you are so impatient, then the governor will be satisfied." you!

Come on!For the governor, these three rebels will be taken directly to Zhongzhongtai, and the whole army will be summoned, and they will be the first to show the public in front of the whole army! "

"what?!"

As soon as Zhu Bianyuan said this, the faces of the three people kneeling on the ground changed drastically, and Sheyin yelled on the spot:

"Zhu Bianlong, how dare you! If you kill us, aren't you afraid of Southwest corruption!

My She family and An family are deeply intertwined with each other in the southwest. If you killed the three of us today, believe it or not, it will take half a month for the war to rage in the southwest. At that time, I want to see how you, the governor of the southwest, will explain to the court!
I advise you to let us go as soon as possible. I will give you face as a surrender, and then we will go back to our respective homes and find our mothers. We promise that we will never raise troops again after we leave, so you will be fine and we will be fine too! "

As soon as she heard that she was about to be decapitated, Sheyin immediately became anxious, and immediately analyzed the pros and cons for Zhu Bianyuan, trying to persuade him to give up killing the three of him.

However, Zhu Bianyuan just smiled coldly and said: "The flames of war are raging?
How do you know that this is not what the court wants? "

Zhu Bianyuan was very clear that those people in the court had been waiting for an opportunity, and now that the opportunity finally came, how could they let go, and how could the Holy Majesty give up?

Therefore, what Sheyin said about the raging war in the southwest was exactly the situation that the entire imperial court was looking forward to.

Once a war breaks out in the southwest, the impatient imperial army may no longer have any worries, and will go all the way to the southwest to clear up all unstable factors and reduce obstacles for reforming the land.

Not only She Yin, but even She Chongming and An Bangyan were taken aback after hearing Zhu Bianyuan's words, and then She Chongming suddenly remembered the hundreds of thousands of troops that suddenly appeared and surrounded him, and a frightening look flashed in his eyes. Asked: "What does the imperial court want to do?"

Zhu Bianyuan knocked on the table, and said casually with an indifferent attitude: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the imperial court wants to reform the land in the southwest and bring the southwest into the control of Ming Dynasty. It's not a big deal."

"What! Reform the soil and return to the people?!"

As a tribal chieftain and a professional householder who often rebels, She Chongming still has intelligence on Daming who is being investigated by spies.

And it's not unheard of for him to change the soil to the local people. The imperial court will first clear the acres of land, count all the data of the fields, and then distribute the land to the bottom-level natives according to the labor force of each family, and revoke their chieftain system. The county government will completely bring the Southwest under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

But isn't this just talk?
As a chieftain, he knows how powerful these chieftains are, and it is absolutely impossible for them to accept the imperial court's land reform and distribute the land to those natives whom they have never regarded in their eyes.

Although those natives are their clansmen, people are also divided into different classes. Didn’t the scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty treat the common people as human beings?
It has to be said that in this regard, these chieftains have imitated the appearance of scholar-bureaucrats by ten percent.

Therefore, She Chongming knew very well that once the Ming court wanted to carry out land reform in the southwest, how much resistance those chieftains would have.

"This is impossible! Zhu Changyuan, are you Ming people crazy? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"

Zhu Bianyuan sat back on his seat, sighed, and then said slowly: "I know."

"I know you still..."

"But what does it matter to you?"

Before She Chongming finished speaking, Zhu Bianyuan asked again.

She Chongming's words froze.

Zhu Bianyuan smiled, then said:

"The imperial court naturally has a reason for doing so, and also has the confidence to do so. As a minister, Zhu implements the imperial court's strategy, and other things are not within the scope of Zhu's consideration.

As for you, just accept death honestly, and everything after that has nothing to do with you. "

After saying that, Zhu Bianyuan waved his hand, and immediately a soldier came in, dragging She Chongming and the three of them away.

She Chongming and others struggled desperately, and She Chongming shouted: "Zhu Bianyuan, you Ming people can't do this. If you do this, everyone in the Southwest will rebel! Everyone will rebel. Do you know the consequences of doing this? You are courting death!"

Zhu Bianyuan just sneered at this.

On the contrary, An Bangyan cried bitterly and begged for mercy: "Lord Zhu! Lord Zhu, please spare me! I know I was wrong, give me a chance, my lord gives me a chance, I will never dare again, it's all because of the bewitchment of Hua Chongming." Oh my! My lord, spare me!"

"If I had known today, why was it in the first place."

Zhu Bianyuan sighed and waved again. The soldiers dragged the three of them out of the big tent without hesitation. The roar and wailing of the three could be vaguely heard from a distance.

Finally, after less than half an hour, the soldiers walked in carrying three bloody heads, Zhu Bianyuan didn't care, and lightly ordered: "Marinate and seal it up, and send it to the capital to report success."

leave him alone

After the soldiers left, Zhu Bianyuan stood up slowly, looked at the generals in the tent, and said loudly: "Next, it depends on your methods!"

The generals grinned, stood up and clasped their fists and replied in unison:

"Don't worry, Governor, we will win!"

"Hey, once you succeed, your bones will dry up..."

A long sigh of emotion drifted away with the wind. I don't know whose sorrow it is, but there is nothing I can do about it.
