I'm betting against the system, scumbags will become kings

Chapter 12
The refugees outside the city can only form an insurgent army, trying to counter the regular army and rescue their relatives in the city.

When Jiang Qi arrived with his troops, several people who wanted to secretly hang food from the city wall to give to their families in the city were discovered by the army.

If Jiang Qi hadn't stopped them in time, those people would have been beheaded on the spot.

Seeing that it was Prince Duan who led the troops, the leading officer hurriedly smiled:
"It turned out to be Prince Duan. I have not been able to meet you in a humble position. Please forgive me, my lord!"

Jiang Qi ignored his flattery, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the few people whose legs were trembling because they were almost beheaded:

"What did they do wrong and why were they beheaded?"

The officer quickly explained with a smile:

"These people disobeyed the imperial decree and dared to send food into the city. The humble official can only deal with them according to law."

Jiang Qi's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she didn't speak for a while, but the frightening and low aura exuding from her body made the people standing beside her too frightened to make a sound.

The officer shrank his neck, unable to control her temper.

Just when he thought Jiang Qi would lose his temper, Jiang Qi's expression gradually calmed down. She walked up to those people, returned the food to them, and said in a gentle voice:

"Go ahead and bring the food in, your family is still waiting for you."

Those people were stunned, unbelievable.

Before that, many people were beheaded for delivering food.

You can't lie to them, can you?

It wasn't until they confirmed again and again that Jiang Qi was not joking, that they acted like an amnesty. They kowtowed several times to Jiang Qi excitedly, and then hurriedly hung the food up through the hanging basket to give to their relatives.

The officer wanted to stop it, but because of Jiang Qi's existence:

"My lord, you—the emperor has ordered that people outside the city not be allowed to contact those traitors. If the emperor finds out about this, he will be punished!"

"So, should they all be killed?"

Jiang Qi's tone was calm and he couldn't hear anything strange.

After finishing speaking, in order to prevent him from getting mixed up, Jiang Qi forced another sentence:
"You just need to answer this king, should they be killed?"

The officer couldn't figure out what she was going to do. After careful consideration, he responded cautiously:

"Returning to the prince, the traitors are endangering the safety of our Great Song Dynasty and should be killed."

Even Prince Duan can't be bigger than the emperor.

The emperor said that those people were traitors, and if they were caught, they would be executed on the spot. He was just following his will, so what's wrong?

Hearing his answer, Jiang Qi couldn't help laughing.

The people around her couldn't understand why she laughed.

Turning around, Jiang Qi looked at the army behind him, his voice was quiet, but his words were sonorous:
"You are all loyal ministers and good generals of our Great Song Dynasty. You were supposed to defend your home and country, but now because of a mere plague and a small imperial decree, you are waving your knives at the helpless refugees in the city. .”

"Today, the imperial decree executed the innocent refugees in Zhenjiang. Tomorrow, can you guarantee that your parents, wives and children will not become the next 'refugees'?"

The people can carry a boat or overturn it. This should be understood by all kings.

However, because of his greed for pleasure, Emperor Keqing not only abandoned tens of thousands of people in Zhenjiang City, but even drove them to death.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly cutting a gap with an ax in the giant ship carrying the Song Dynasty.

Her few words made everyone who asked them speechless.

To be honest, as an indomitable man, no one can refuse the opportunity of Guangzong Yaozu.

Therefore, they chose to join the army and choose to defend their family and country, hoping that one day, they would be able to dominate the battlefield like the queen's father, General Chen Qiyuan, and be famous in history.

Can--

Just like what Jiang Qi said, they were supposed to defend their home and country, but they swung their butcher knives at the civilians who had sworn to protect them.

Despite this, there are still people who are extremely obedient to Emperor Qing:

"It was the plague in Zhenjiang City that spread, and the emperor only made such a helpless move to prevent the spread of the plague and endanger the surrounding cities."

He is a soldier and a citizen of the Song Dynasty. He was taught since childhood to be loyal to the monarch and not to disobey the orders of the suspicious monarch.

Therefore, Jiang Qi's words were undoubtedly outrageous to some people.

Jiang Qi sneered, with a sarcasm on his face, and took out a few drawings from his arms.

Crack, fell heavily on the man's face.

Those blueprints were all the palaces that Emperor Qing wanted to build for Concubine Yu in various places.

Tens of thousands of common people are still in dire straits. Emperor Qing, the king of a country, not only wants to force them to death, but also happily give them to his beloved concubine to practice in the palace.

Calling him a fool is an insult to the word fool.

Because of these blueprints, everyone was silent again.

Some people are sad, some are angry, and some are self-deprecating.

Before this, in their hearts, Emperor Qing had always been wise and mighty.

Therefore, even Emperor Qing abandoned Zhenjiang City, and they took it for granted that the court had no money or food.

They can understand the helplessness of the court.

Actually?

It's the emperor who is aloof and has really given up on them!

As a result, many people began to have their beliefs broken by what Jiang Qi said.

Today, what was abandoned was a city of refugees.

What about another day?
What if the emperor gave up on them when they fought on the battlefield?
It's not like this hasn't happened.

Just like the queen's father, General Chen Qiyuan, who led his troops to fight against the barbarians. He was about to break into the barbarian royal court, but because of Emperor Qing's suspicion, food, weapons and wound medicine were withheld.

At that time, there was another heavy snow disaster once in a hundred years.

In the end, General Chen, who had fought for the Song Dynasty all his life, was besieged and died.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty also died of freezing, sickness and starvation.

For a time, complex emotions spread among the troops.

Jiang Qi ignored them and directly ordered the city gate to be opened.

Some people are still loyal to Emperor Qing like a dog and want to stop him in the name of imperial decree.

Jiang Qi stopped talking and took out a token from his waist with a cold face.

Under the scorching sun, the dark golden tiger head token seemed to have countless streamers flickering in it.

It is the Fuhu Order that has disappeared for almost ten years!
The Fuhu Order is different from the tiger head card. The tiger head card is a soldier talisman, half of which is kept by the general, and the other half is kept by the emperor.

But the order of subduing the tiger is unique to the Chen family.

20 years ago, the Song Dynasty was invaded by barbarians, and many cities were captured.

At that time, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs. When there was no war, a group of civil servants were so angry that they could only say that they could go to heaven and earth to be omnipotent.

When the war broke out, everyone became shrunken turtles, and it was fine to keep silent. There were still many civil servants who advocated cede land for peace, and then find a princess to marry to "beg for mercy".

At that time, Chen Qiyuan was still a high-spirited young man.

Seeing that the civil servants were greedy for life and afraid of death, the emperor hesitated, so he discussed with several generals, and dragged the only civil servant of the main combat faction to lobby the bandits without saying a word.

Speaking of the bandit who was lobbied, he was also a big grievance who was forced by the government to rebel against the people.
