Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 147 Public trial! A large number of Mongolian cavalry came to surrender with their horses!
On the public trial stage, Manhaziya was kneeling here, looking at the people in the audience with a numb expression.

These people in the audience were all his former officers and soldiers, the people he had executed before whoever he wanted.

But these people are now involved in interrogating him, and they can all raise their hands to interrogate him.

Therefore, this made Manhaziya very uncomfortable.

He originally thought that after he was captured, Zhu Yuanzhang would persuade him to surrender as an official and entrust him with important tasks.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang does not persuade him to surrender, Zhang Cheng will persuade him to do so.

After all, we are all landlords and bureaucrats. Now that the war between us is over, shouldn't we shake hands and make peace together, and continue working together to become the new masters of the people of the world?

But who knows, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng want to put him on trial, and let his former subordinates also participate in the trial.

"Didn't you say there were only five thousand shi of grain? How did you find out from the granary that there were still 25,000 shi?"

"Unfortunately, my brothers thought it was not easy for you to become the prime minister. You tried your best to get five thousand shi of food from the court for us, but you were willing to starve for it and only had a full meal when the war started."

"We are working hard for the Great Yuan Dynasty!"

"Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you even deduct this food like this?!"

As he spoke, Manhaziya shouted again and began to sob.

"It turns out that you have been deceiving us all along, deducting the additional rations issued to us by the imperial court. That's all. You deducted most of it, and only gave five thousand dan to us hardworking people."

Hao Le fell silent after hearing this, and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.

"If I don't do this, my position will fall into the hands of people like Hama. Are you willing to let people like Hama take over?!"

Manhaziya replied helplessly: "There is nothing I can do!"

"say!"

"Even if Hama and others force you to be greedy, you shouldn't let your soldiers go hungry. Isn't Jiangnan's food enough to ensure that your soldiers have enough to eat?"

"So, it's difficult for me too!"

Hao Le and other surrendering soldiers also looked at Manhaziya.

"As a rule, in my official position, I have to pay farewell to all the dignitaries in Beijing every year, and I have to give them a total of more than 10,000 dan."

"Tell the truth, what's the secret here?"

"Of course you think I am greedy, but if you think about it seriously, I am at least willing to work seriously. I will never criticize you harshly. I will never take your credit for myself. I will be more tolerant of your mistakes. I only know how to make money. Money doesn't do anything, and I don't take away your achievements and only do it for myself. Although I am greedy, there is nothing I can do about it. I am greedy for my Great Yuan Sheji!"

When Manhaziya said this, he cried aggrievedly: "And Hama has made it clear that I must pay him one hundred thousand dan in three years before he will consider letting me stay."

Tao Cheng couldn't help but asked.

Tao Cheng, the rebel interrogator, asked at this time.

Manhaziya did not answer.

"In addition, I was promoted by the Prime Minister. If I want to keep my position as the Prime Minister of Jiangbei, Henan, continue to command the army, and defend the foundation of Dayuan, I have to guard against Hama and the others ostracizing me because I am the Prime Minister's person. If you don’t want to be squeezed out, you have to give more generous gifts on the third birthday and the second birthday! In that case, you have to ask for a gift of 20,000 dan, and only 25,000 dan is enough for this year’s gift!”

On the public trial stage, Haole raised his hand to get permission from the interrogator to go on stage to interrogate Manhaziya, and he questioned him loudly like this.

"I remember when your Prime Minister Tuotuo was in office, didn't you have plenty of food?"

Manhaziya trembled for a moment, then choked and said:

"Your Majesty wants to take 40% of the military rations and return them to the palace for expenses. Therefore, the food that You Cheng finally collected through going to the countryside to clean up is not enough. What's more, You Cheng also needs to be filial to the dignitaries in the capital. "

After Manhaziya said this, the surrendering officers and soldiers of the Yuan army below were even more touched after hearing this.

Hao Le himself almost collapsed, and even his hatred for Manhaziya was reduced a lot.

Because he didn't expect that his Emperor Yuan was the one who took the most money, even daring to take 40% of the military rations. "Down with the Yuanting Dog Emperor!"

"I would rather let corrupt officials and evil gentry massacre my Han people than feel comfortable myself."

"Yes, defeat this dog emperor!"

At this time.

There were already trainers in the rebel army who led the rebel officers and soldiers to start shouting.

As a result, the rebel officers and soldiers shouted loudly.

Hao Le and other surrendered Yuan officers and soldiers saw this and did not object. They even felt the same way. In the end, they also raised their arms and shouted.

And they all wanted to eat the flesh of Emperor Yuan Shun right now.

Although the Yuan Dynasty ruled the world with leniency, it was still essentially an autocratic monarchy.

It's just that the emperor chose to be lenient and indulged the corrupt officials and evil gentry below.

After all, if you compare the later Manchu Qing Dynasties in history, you can see that if a foreign dynasty wants to strictly control the scholar-bureaucrats, it is actually more convenient to strictly control them than the Han dynasty.

Emperor Yuan Shun did not do this, and he undoubtedly chose to be lenient.

Therefore, Yuan Ting's society has become what it is now, and he has a lot of responsibility.

Naturally, everyone in the world will blame him.

Especially Han people.

After all, it is the Han people, especially the Han people in the south, who ultimately bear the biggest price because of their greed and selfishness.

It should be noted that many Han people in the south are directly used as food rations!

Of course, Yuan Ting's own Mongolian people and the Han people in the north were not much better.

When the rebel army recruited surrendered soldiers to join the army, Hao Le resolutely came to the recruitment office and said to the recruiter: "I want to join the rebel army. Although I am a Mongolian and have been a gold medal 100 households, but I now know that we used to He is a thief! Therefore, I want to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, kill all the corrupt officials and evil gentry in the world who work for the corrupt Yuan, and kill the dog emperor Tuo Huan Tie Mu'er who uses traitors and disloyal ministers to bring peace to all races in the world!"

"What's your specialty?"

"I'm good at riding and shooting, and I can even ride on a boat and shoot! So, I was transferred to the navy and was awarded a gold medal for my meritorious service!"

"Very good! You have gone to school and can you read?"

"Educated under Li Xi, a Confucian scholar in Taiping Prefecture."

"In that case, go directly to the training class to learn the basic doctrine and basic program of our rebel army. There is no need to go to the literacy class."

……

In addition, the news of Tuo Tuo's resignation finally spread like wildfire, causing the morale of the army to be in chaos. Therefore, coincidentally, Yuan soldiers from other places were disappointed and took the initiative to join the rebel army.

"We ask to join the rebels!"

Gaoyou.

A Mongolian armored cavalry with no fewer than a hundred riders took the initiative to dismount and kneel in front of Hua Yun's stronghold, asking to join the rebel army.

Hua Yun looked at these armored cavalry and was quite surprised. Then he rode out and asked, "Why do you want to join?"

"To be honest, General, we have been without food for three days."

"This is all because we are the Prime Minister's soldiers, so they deliberately withheld food to force us to rebel. This way they can easily accuse the Prime Minister's soldiers of being disloyal, just as disloyal as the Prime Minister himself!"

"In this case, instead of rebelling against us, we might as well join the rebel army! Destroy this imperial court!"
