The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 190: Death of Zhao Gou, King Jing of Zhongshan, lineage of Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han, Liu Shiba Uprising

The twelfth lunar month of the year [-].

Liu Yu officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the built Kangcheng. His country was named Han. He rebuilt Kangcheng and named it Yingtianfu. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, his reign was named Hongwu!

It’s for the great Han Dynasty Hongwu!

Once the news spread, it immediately caused a great sensation near Yangzhou and Jiankang.

In fact, after Liu Yu captured Zhao Gou, then took Zhao Gou, went to various places to collect and surrender the Song army, and then the Song army surrendered like a cloud, they felt that the fall of the Song Dynasty was imminent and Liu Yu would rise.

But when the Han Dynasty was really established, it still shocked the world.

Especially Liu Yu claims to be of Hanwu bloodline!
The news spread rapidly to the south and south.

……

Liu Yu appointed Xun You as the censor of Dadu and found hundreds of people who had been tortured by the Jin soldiers as witnesses.

A public sentencing meeting was held at Caishikou in Yingtian City.

After Zhao Gou was captured, he always had good food and drink, and no one was in trouble.

The feeling of luck even made Zhao Gou feel that he should be able to be a rich man without freedom for the rest of his life.

Zhao Gou did not find such an ending unacceptable. After all, it was always better than losing his life.

but.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Zhao Gou was put into prisoner's clothes, he was suddenly taken to the entrance of Yingtianfu vegetable market.

Zhao Gou was shocked!

On a high platform, in the middle were more than a dozen sentencing groups headed by Xun You, the censor of the capital. On the left was a group of witnesses of various shapes, and on the right was a tall object covered with black cloth. It was difficult to see what it was.

Under the hostage of his soldiers, Zhao Gou stood tremblingly in the center of the high platform.

"I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I am not an ordinary person!"

"Does the Emperor of Han know that you are doing this to me?"

"Being courteous to the previous kings is the rule of past dynasties. Do you have any royal laws?"

When Zhao Gou saw something was wrong with his aura, he immediately started shouting with anger and anger.

but.

Xun You and others sitting in the middle ignored it at all.

Xun You looked solemn, drew out a command arrow, and shouted loudly.

"The hour has come!"

"The public sentencing has begun, open the floodgates and let the people come in and watch!"

Following a burst of noise, the surrounding soldiers moved out of the way.

In an instant, thousands of people poured in, but it was the people of Yingtian City who came to watch the historical scene.

Crowds of people.

The crowd was buzzing.

When Zhao Gou saw this scene, he was so frightened that he peed.

Really scared to death.

A stream of heat flowed down his thighs, and if it weren't for the thick cotton pants on his body, someone would definitely have noticed him.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"I want to see His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"

"Long live the great man!"

Zhao Gou was rolling around and wanted to see Liu Yu.

In fact, he didn't know that Liu Yu was in an elegant room in a high-rise building not far away, drinking green plum wine and admiring the meeting where Zhao Gou was sentenced, served by his beloved concubine Wu.

"quiet!"

Xun You shouted loudly, and the whole place fell silent.

Zhao Gou was also so scared that he shut up.

"The sinner Zhao Gou, male, former emperor of the Puppet Song Dynasty, since the Jiankang period..."

Xun You held a document in his hand and read out loud Zhao Gou's life and crimes.

Since ancient times, no one has ever seen this scene.

Countless people in Yingtian Mansion listened calmly. As Zhao Gou's crimes were read out one after another, the people gritted their teeth and made waves of discussions.

"I, I'm here to see the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, what do you want to do?" Zhao Gou said with a pale face, his wet pants, and the cold wind making him tremble non-stop.

He could already think that the reason why Liu Yu didn't kill him for so long was not because Liu Yu wanted to let him go.

On the contrary, Liu Yu was going to give him an even harder blow!

This is murderous!

"quiet!"

Xun You saw the scene getting noisy and shouted again.

subsequent process.

Then let the witnesses stand up one by one to testify against the crimes Zhao Gou committed.

Among the crimes announced by Xun You, the ones for which Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty received the most accusations were "traitor", "non-resistance", "suing for peace", "escape from battle", "homicide", "destruction of water conservancy Yellow River dams", "Robbery".

When Zhao Gou became emperor, he ran away and betrayed his country, killing many people directly and indirectly.

After two hours of sentencing, Zhao Gou was found guilty on all charges.

The people who were listening in Yingtian Mansion could no longer suppress their anger. Those poor witnesses all had their families broken up and their lives destroyed by this foolish king.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was clearly a thief!
"The criminal Zhao Gou, after the final deliberation of the Dahan Special Public Sentencing Conference, the 61 charges he committed are all true!"

After burning incense, Xun You, the censor of the capital, stood on the high platform and read out the results of the review to everyone.

"After final deliberation, it was found that the crime committed by Zhao Gou was particularly egregious, the consequences were particularly serious, and the people of the Han family suffered huge losses. It was finally decided to sentence Zhao Gou to death!"

"According to the special review, the death penalty will be executed on the same day!"

As Xun You finished speaking, tens of thousands of people in the entire market cheered.

Zhao Gou was unpopular. In fact, most of the emperors of Zhao and Song were unpopular.

Too many people blamed Zhao Gou for the ridiculous things done by the emperors of Zhao and Song dynasties.

Zhao Gou felt like he was struck by thunder!
Zhao Gou has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he has read the history books of past dynasties. Even if the emperor of the previous dynasty was killed, he had never done this!
Publicly sentenced to death in front of tens of thousands of people!

This is simply appalling!

Except for Sima Zhao who killed Cao Mao in the street, there is almost no one more powerful than this.

"I, I, I don't accept it!"

Zhao Gou said tremblingly.

He also wanted to quibble.

but.

The next scene instantly made Zhao Gou faint from fear.

I saw that on the other side of the high platform, the black cloth that was originally covering it was suddenly lifted off by two executioners!

A huge shelf was exposed.

It turns out that this is a tall guillotine!
The sharp ax hanging one foot high was staring at Zhao Gou like the eyes of the god of death.

"Ho, ho..."

Zhao Gou collapsed on the ground. His strong desire to survive made him want to struggle and quibble again, but apart from a weird sound coming from his throat, he could not say another word.

"Guillotine, execution!"

Xun You shouted loudly, and two executioners stepped forward and dragged Zhao Gou to the slot under the guillotine.

None of the people in the venue made a sound, all eyes were fixed on the guillotine in front of them.

Killing the emperor, even the previous emperor, is the only one in this history!
But no one wants to miss this once-in-a-lifetime sight!

On a tall building a hundred steps away, Wu exclaimed, covering her eyes and not daring to look forward.

After all, Wu had been Zhao Gou's concubine. Although she was not favored, she was still an acquaintance and did not dare to see her beheaded.

With a flash of cold light.

The sharp ax fell down the slide.

There was no accident, and there was no "save anyone under the knife". Zhao Gou's head separated instantly and rolled to the floor.

An executioner stepped forward, lifted Zhao Gou's head, and displayed it to the surroundings.

Looking at this scene from a distance, Liu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, expressing his inner frustration at the Zhao and Song Dynasty's abuse of the Han people.

The people who were watching, after a moment of silence, immediately let out a roar like thunder!

"Good kill!"

"Kill the national traitor!"

"Damn!"

"Damn it!"

The death of a Zhao Gou instantly vented the people's difficult life emotions caused by the weakness and incompetence of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

On the high platform, Xun You and other members of the public sentencing team and witnesses confirmed that Zhao Gou's death was correct.

More than a dozen painters who had been on standby for a long time began to paint on the spot using their talents.

Many versions of the famous painting "The Killing of Zhao Gou in the Han Dynasty" were born at this moment.

The whole Yingtian City was in a sensation.

After executing Zhao Gou, Liu Yu issued an imperial edict called "A Letter to the Han People in the World".

Liu Yu announced that as long as the Han armed forces who killed the Jurchens and regained the territory, no matter what their origins, as long as they could stabilize the situation, he, the Hongwu Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu would recognize them, and after sending someone to answer the memorial in heaven, they would be officially appointed. .

From the date the edict is issued, all those who serve as officials and soldiers for the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, whether they are Jurchens, Khitans, or Han people, will all be enemies of the Han Dynasty!
This imperial edict spread rapidly, and immediately set off a wave of Han people in the occupied northern areas to rise up against the Jurchens.

……

Shandong, Haiqu County.

This place is one of the naval bases of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom in the north.

There are five to six hundred Jurchen cavalry in the local county seat, and there are hundreds of large and small warships on the seaside.

In a farmer's yard not far from the seaside.A dozen fishermen were drinking.

They were all dressed in rags and had no fat on their bodies. It looked like they were living a very difficult life.

The banquet for drinking today was particularly sumptuous.

As the owner, Liu Shiba is a poor bachelor. He usually wields swords and sticks. He doesn't like to work to make money. He is considered a famous gangster.

but.

Liu Shiba had a good reputation among the fishermen and often helped them deal with the Jurchen tax collectors.

After three rounds of drinking, a dozen young fishermen were already drunk.

suddenly.

Liu Shiba put down the wine bowl in his hand and let out a long sigh.

"Hey, brothers, I invite you to drink today. There is really something that I can't hide from you anymore!"

When everyone heard this, they all opened their eyes curiously.

"Brother [-], what's going on?"

"Brother Liu, what are you hiding from us?"

"That's right, we have such a good friendship, there's nothing we can't say!"

"That's right, brothers are not afraid of trouble, but they are afraid that Brother [-] won't say anything!"

Everyone shouted.

Liu Shiba touched his mouth and then said, "You all know that my surname is Liu, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then became even more confused.

"Yes, your father's surname is Liu, so your surname is Liu too."

"We all know your surname is Liu!"

Liu Shiba shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm talking about. My surname is Liu, and the Han Emperor of Yingtian Mansion is also surnamed Liu. In fact, I am the same clan as the Han Emperor Liu Yu!"

"Same clan?"

"Doesn't that mean that Brother Eighteen is a relative of the emperor?"

These are not the Three Kingdoms era. There are millions of people named Liu, so they are worthless.

"Yes, I am a relative of the emperor. I come from the lineage of King Jing of Zhongshan and Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty. In fact, I have secretly received orders. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Yingtian Mansion has made me the emperor's nephew. As long as I raise an army, then let him I am the magistrate of Haiqu County, and I think such great wealth cannot be enjoyed by myself, so are you willing to follow me?" Liu Shiba said loudly.

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar!
What follows is excitement!

"Emperor's nephew?"

"Haiqu County Magistrate?"

"Such a big official! Brother [-], take care of me!"

"Yeah, if I don't just kill Tatars, I can do it too!"

"Just give me the position of village chief!"

In the seaside countryside where news was blocked, an uprising against the Kingdom of Jin was discussed over a banquet.

After discussing with the fishermen, Liu Shiba immediately made the decision to summon rural fishermen and farmers to raise troops to revolt.

After two days of preparation, Liu Shiba easily summoned more than 1000 poor people and secretly sneaked into Haiqu County with homemade weapons.

After Liu Shiba entered the county town, he carried a ghost-headed sword and led hundreds of people to suddenly attack on the street.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"I am Liu Shiba, the nephew of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Folks, follow me to kill the Tartars. The army of the Han Dynasty will be here soon!"

"Kill all the Jurchen golden dogs!"

Liu Shiba shouted angrily and led his rebel brothers to rush to the Haiqu County Yamen.

Wanyan Yingge, the magistrate of Haiqu County, was enjoying life with his wives at home, but unexpectedly a group of uninvited guests broke into the city.

The soldiers under his command were all beaten back and forth.

"You bunch of rebellious officials and traitors, put down your swords quickly."

Wanyan Yingge was so frightened that he hid behind his subordinates and his wife and shouted loudly.

Seeing Liu Shiba's rebels getting closer and closer, his wives and concubines panicked.

There was a commotion in the Haiqu County Magistrate's residence.

"How bold, how dare you attack our county magistrate's office and kill all the unruly people!"

Wanyan Yingge became worried and immediately led his soldiers to rush out of the gate and kill Liu Shiba and other rebels with their swords.

"Kill!" Liu Shiba didn't panic at all when he saw this. He immediately raised the ghost head sword in his hand and shouted to fight.

Although Liu Shiba only has more than 1000 people, he has a unique combination method.

Liu Shiba led hundreds of people, divided into five teams, each responsible for a direction, killing the enemy while advancing forward.

The rebels under Liu Shiba were all carefully selected.

Wanyan Yingge also has dozens of strong men under his command, but their numbers are not dominant.

The rebels fought in the main street of Haiqu County, and people fell to the ground from time to time.

When Wanyan Yingge saw that the rebels were so numerous and brave, he felt a little nervous in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and commanded his men to resist vigorously.

"boom!"

Liu Shiba held a ghost-headed sword and charged forward bravely like chopping melons and vegetables. He led his soldiers and killed dozens of soldiers brought by Wanyan Yingge on the spot.

"Come on, go to the county office!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanyan Yingge ordered his men to retreat.

"kill!!"

Liu Shiba shouted angrily and once again led hundreds of people to chase him.

"Kill, destroy the golden dog!"

The rebel soldiers brandished their weapons and tried their best to fight all the way from the county magistrate's residence to the county government office.

In the county government office, a county magistrate and several county officials stood in the lobby.

"Listen to me, my daughter is not allowed to run away. Whoever dares to run away, I will kill you all today."

The Jurchen county magistrate cursed loudly, kicked over the table, and stared fiercely at the dozens of Han county officials in front of him.

"Lord County Magistrate, will you please spare me? I don't want to die in vain."

"Lord County Magistrate, please do your best and spare us!"

"Lord County Magistrate, there are too many rebels outside. We don't want to die."

The county magistrate's threats made dozens of county officials kneel on the ground and kowtow to beg for mercy.

Wanyan Yingge looked at the scene in front of him and felt very sad.

"kill"

Liu Shiba took the lead and led hundreds of rebel troops into the county government office.

"Kill! Kill!"

Liu Shiba, holding a ghost-headed sword, led hundreds of people and rushed into the county government office with murderous intent.

"what"

Wanyan Yingge was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned around and ran away with the others.

However, just as Wanyan Yingge turned around, he found several rebels holding broadswords in their hands, standing in front of him.

Wanyan Yingge's heart tightened, knowing that today might be a bad day.

Without any nonsense, the rebel soldiers raised their weapons and struck Wanyan Yingge fiercely.

"Pfft!"

"what!"

"Ow."

For a moment, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and screams continued.

The dozens of people brought by Wanyan Yingge were killed by Liu Shiba's hundreds of people, leaving only Wanyan Yingge standing alone in the county government office.

"Wanyan Yingge, let's just capture him without mercy."

Liu Shiba sneered and said:
"If you can surrender and kneel under me, maybe I will leave your whole body."

"I am an official of the Kingdom of Jin. You dare to attack the officials of the Jin Kingdom. It is simply treason."

Liu Shiba sneered when he heard this and said:

"I don't care who you are as an official of the Jin Kingdom. Anyway, I am the nephew of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! I have long disliked you and will kill you."

"If a Jurchen golden dog doesn't kneel down and surrender, then he will die!"

Liu Shiba raised his sword and slashed at Wanyan Yingge.

puff!
A bloody light shot into the sky, and Wanyan Yingge died on the spot.

"Come on, hang out his head!"

"Haiqu County, we Han people have the final say from now on!"

Liu Shiba shouted loudly.

"Okay! Brother Eighteen is mighty!"

"Brother Shiba is awesome!"

The Han rebels organized by Liu Shiba achieved victory in just one day and seized control of the county.

Later, Liu Shiba sent people to contact Li Bao, the commander of the Han navy at sea, and they cooperated inside and outside to force the Jin navy on the seaside of Haiqu County to surrender.

As a result, the last remaining strength of the Jurchen Jin Army at sea disappeared.

After Liu Yu got the news, he admired this reckless man named Liu Shiba very much and personally set a reward for him.

With the official position of Haiqu County Magistrate and the military position of Shandong East Rebel Army Envoy, Liu Shiba instantly transformed from a poor fisherman to a master.

After the news spread, the folk heroes in various places occupied by the Northern Jin Kingdom were gearing up!

There were countless rebels in the Han areas captured by the Jin Kingdom, and a sense of despair permeated the entire Jin Kingdom.
