The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Chapter 336 The crowd is excited and thousands of people are reviled!

After Gao Mingheng and others were taken down, Liu Sheng came to the camp where Liang Bing and Wang Xie were.

The two of them had already changed into clean, simple clothes, and a doctor had just finished taking Liang Bing's pulse.

Seeing Liu Sheng coming in, several people were about to stand up and salute, but Liu Sheng waved his hand and said, "No courtesy. Doctor, how is Mr. Liang's health?"

"The old gentleman is in good health, but he has been worried, tired, hungry and thirsty for many days. He needs to meditate for some time before he can recover."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

After the doctor wrote a prescription for recuperation and left, he looked at Liang Bing and Wang Xie and said bluntly: "You two are willing to serve in our army after completing your hard labor?"

Liu Sheng's recruitment method surprised Liang Bing and Wang Xie.

If people want to recruit talents, they will directly exempt them from guilt and return high-ranking officials with generous salaries.

As a result, when I came to you, you didn't promise high-ranking officials a generous salary, but you actually specifically stated that you would have to complete hard labor. Is this a sincere solicitation?
If you are an ordinary person, that is probably what you think.

Liang Bing and Wang Xie couldn't help but think so at first.

But then he thought, doesn't this mean that Liu Sheng is a principled person? Some things just can't be lumped together.

Probably because of this, Weibu can rise so quickly, right?

Then Wang Xie cupped his hand and said simply: "I am willing!"

Liang Bingze smiled bitterly and said, "I am already seventy years old. I am afraid that if I want to become an official, my body will not allow it."

Liu Sheng smiled after hearing this and said, "Is Mr. Liang worried that his body will not be able to withstand the hard labor? Don't worry, our department will not arrange heavy work for the elderly, weak women and children.

I will ask people to arrange some simple things later. Mr. Liang can treat these three months of hard labor as recuperation. "

Liang Bing smiled bitterly, "Please allow me to think about March."

"Alright."

Speaking of which, although Liang Bing was 70 years old and Wang Xie was in his prime, Liu Sheng was more interested in Liang Bing.

According to the information investigated by Xunfengwei, Liang Bing was actually an upright and capable minister in Liu Sheng's mind, and he was very friendly to the common people.

He was a native of Rongcheng, Baoding. He was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli (1613). He successively served as magistrate of Yuncheng County, Yangxin County and Guangshan County, all with outstanding political achievements.

It's just that he was relatively unlucky. He resigned from his post to observe filial piety due to the loss of his parents, and lost his promotion opportunities. Of course, this was also related to his lack of cliques, which meant that he had no one in the government.

Later, he served as the supervisory envoy of Guangxi. Due to the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, he was transferred to do errands such as supervising the ceremony of the Ancestral Temple and Sheji where he could not find the slightest sense of presence.

Later Liang Bing went home to recuperate due to illness. It was not until the fourth year of Chongzhen that it was restored.

He successively served as Jiangxi censor, Guizhou inspector, Shaanxi road counselor, Lu'an road political officer, Shanxi inspector, Henan right chief envoy and left chief envoy.

Except for serving as the chief envoy of Henan, all previous positions he held have left good governance that is beneficial to the people. He has provided disaster relief and relief many times and saved hundreds of thousands of people. He is definitely a capable official in governing the place.

In addition, he has been an official for decades and his family only has a few hundred acres of farmland, which shows that he is an honest official.

Such an honest official who is good at doing practical things and friendly to the common people is completely in tune with the ethos of the Yibu.

The only pity is that I am a little older. Even if I become an official in the future, I will probably not be able to work for a few years.

Liu Sheng left the tent where Liang Bing and Wang Xie lived, returned to the king's tent, and listened to the report from the secretariat staff, "Your Majesty, the first batch of victims migrating to Tianmu Mountain will arrive in Fugou County."

Fugou is located due east of Xuzhou, with Yanling in the middle.

When Liu Sheng heard this, his heart moved and he said: "Send someone to send Huang Shu there as soon as possible to relieve the anger of the victims in Fugou first."

"Yes."

···
After Zhang Kun, Xue Liang and other victims got on the big boat, they went south along the Xiaoyang River and soon arrived in Fugou County.

As far as Zhang Kun knew, the big ship was originally going to take them directly to Shangshui County and then take the overland route south to Runing. However, the ship stopped for unknown reasons after reaching Fugou.

"Should we be allowed to take the land route instead here?" Xue Liang guessed.

"Probably not." Zhang Kun was now full of trust in his department.

Xue Liang wanted to say something else, but the battalion commander asked them to get off the boat first. Not only them, but the victims from dozens of large ships behind them also landed one after another.

After everyone lined up under the organization of the battalion commander and captains, they saw an unkempt man wearing Ming Dynasty official uniform being escorted by soldiers from the Wei tribe.

Then a military and political officer of the Yi army held a large iron trumpet and said: "Fellow folks in Kaifeng, our army captured a group of Ming officials and dignitaries who escaped from Kaifeng City a few days ago. According to the confessions of these people, the reason why the Yellow River The reason why the embankment burst and the flood broke out was because of Huang Shuxian's plan to divert the Yellow River water into the moat and wash away the invaders.

This plan obviously did not take the safety of the lives and property of the people of Kaifeng into consideration. As the villagers saw, it caused a flood that submerged more than 100 miles around Kaifeng City!
The king was very angry when he learned about this incident. He ordered Huang Shu to go north to camp among the victims of the disaster for seven days, where he would be scolded by the people and then cut into pieces!
You are all victims of the Kaifeng disaster. Even though you are going south, you can still vent your anger by scolding this person.

But it's best not to hit him, lest he be beaten to death - there are many disaster-stricken people waiting to vent their anger by scolding him! "

After hearing what the military and political officials said, the victims were shocked at first, and then they started shouting and cursing angrily——

"You damn dog officer! How dare you dig the Yellow River!"

"Dog officer! Dog officer! What a dog officer!"

"Huang Shu is a harmful person. I heard that he accepted bribes as soon as he arrived in Kaifeng, causing people to die unjustly. He is really not a thing!"

"How can it be enough to cut the body into pieces for such a wicked person? He should be cut into pieces by a thousand swords!"

"My mother and child both died because of this man. I have to eat his flesh and drink his blood to satisfy my hatred!"

"···"

Suddenly, many victims looked at Huang Shu with red eyes, and the curses were like a stormy sea, impacting Huang Shu's ears and mind.

He was frightened again and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Although the victims had gone through several days of "training" and knew that the army valued order and discipline, and that there were captains and captains to maintain the team, they still lost control under the excitement of the crowd.

Fortunately, Wei Jun was well prepared.

Upon seeing this, a group of musketeers fired a shot into the air, which immediately silenced the victims.

The military and political officer reiterated again: "I know that the villagers are eager to kill Huang Shu immediately and eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. But how to deal with this man, the king has given orders. Since the villagers are our common people, they should obey the king's orders!"
Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of victims in the north waiting for this person to vent their anger. We are all fellow villagers, so we can’t just vent our anger on ourselves, right? ! "

After being shocked by the gunshots and hearing these words, the angry Kaifeng people finally calmed down a little.

Immediately, four Yijun soldiers used a rope several meters long to pull Huang Shu, whose hands were tied, toward the crowd.

Huang Shu was so weak that he couldn't stand, so he was dragged along.

The people in Kaifeng looked at him with eyes that were so angry that they wanted to eat people. When he was pulled in front of him, they all spat and cursed at him.

"Dog officer!"

"Don't die!"

"Wait until you go to the eighteenth level of hell!"

"The innocent souls who died in Kaifeng will turn into ghosts and look for you!"

"Bah! Let me live a few more days!"

"···"

Although no one in Zhang Kun's family died, his relatives and friends also died. Thinking about the lost family property, he also spit on Huang Shu.

Xue Liang is no exception.

By the time Huang Shu was pulled out from the aisle lined with civilians in Zhang Kun's battalion, he was already covered in spit and smelly.

Zhang Kun looked at his back being dragged away and said: "I thought the bursting of the Yellow River's banks was a natural disaster, but I didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster. Speaking of which, how could the governor and others agree to such a vicious and dangerous plan?

In my opinion, not only Huang Shu is guilty, but Governor Gao Mingheng and others are also guilty! "

Xue Liang also sighed and said: "Who says it's not the case? But looking at the king's treatment of Huang Shu, most of Gao Mingheng's people will not fare well."

Zhang Kun looked to the west again and said, "I heard that the king is leading the army to besiege Xuzhou. I really want to see how elegant the king is."

Xue Liang is also quite yearning for it.

He believed that Liu Sheng would probably become a founding king like Zhu Yuanzhang, and he would probably not be as murderous as Zhu Yuanzhang, and his achievements in history would be greater in the future.

If we can meet him early, and even "Jian is in the emperor's heart", he will definitely be reused in the future. Perhaps he can become a famous founding official and be remembered in history.

After a while, the battalion commander ordered all the merchant ships to continue southward along the river.

Although they still don’t know where they will be moved, Xue Liang and other Kaifeng people are no longer so worried...
