Win the Ding 1617
Chapter 211 Breaking the siege!Attack!
Door panels and planks were quickly stacked by the recruits on the dam made of straw bags. This way, people and artillery can pass quickly without worrying about getting stuck in muddy water.
Six or seven six-pound cannons and five big Franglers crazily poured the cannons towards the head of the city on the river bank. In general, therefore, Mai Tiansheng adopted another artillery tactic.
Artillery suppression creates a time port for the infantry to ascend the city!
More than a dozen long ladders made of bamboo were lifted across the Zhuang River with shouts by the soldiers. When one end just reached the opposite bank, it was poked on the ground by anxious soldiers. The Sangmen gun fell forward against the bamboo ladder.
"Peng!"
With a muffled sound, the ladder trembled a few times and rested firmly on the wall of the village.
"on!"
A few soldiers with swords and shields climbed up the ladder.Under the ladder, a group of firecrackers held their firecrackers, vigilantly searching for possible resisters at the top of the city.
Fortunately, no one was found trying to stop the first sword and shield soldier on the top of the city. [
"Kill!" The sword and shield soldier jumped onto the wall of the village, holding the shield in one hand and the knife in the other, covering his head with the shield, and quickly patrolled around the crenels around the ladder, but no one was found jumping up to fight.
The second person also appeared at the top of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the third person jumped to the top of the city full of broken bricks, rotten stones and corpses.The three of them formed a small formation, preparing to meet Ji Qingwei's counterattack on the city wall.
"Tell Mai Tiansheng to concentrate artillery fire on his iron gate!"
Chen Tianhua, who had been watching the flag formation all the time, could see clearly through the binoculars, and calmly ordered the commander beside him.
Having received a new military order, Mai Tiansheng naturally did not dare to neglect, and adjusted four twelve-pound guns to the positions facing the iron gate of Jiqingwei to strengthen the firepower here.
After a round of artillery raids, the suspension bridge, whose planks were smashed by the artillery, crashed down.
The gate of Jiqingwei was half opened!
"Grandpa, I can't, the iron gate can't hold it anymore! There is also the South China Army at the top of the city, you go quickly..."
Deng Qiyi held a precious sword in his hand, with blood dripping down from the sword, and limped into the ancestral hall. The robe was covered with blood, and it was not known whether it was his own blood or the blood of the Nanzhong Army, which made his heart jump.The helmet on his head was blown away by a passing graupel, which also broke his bun. The residual heat of the graupel made his hair loose, exuding a disgusting smell of burning hair.Someone also stabbed his right leg with a funeral gun, but luckily it wasn't strong enough, otherwise the shot would have killed his leg.
"People in the enclosure are in a 'chaos', the people on the wall are all scattered, and the thieves of the Southern Barbarians keep rushing in. Grandpa, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
In a day's time, Deng Yuanxun was already so old and haggard that he didn't look like a human being.
"Go, where are you going? As I said this morning, this dress is my shroud. I want to wear it to meet my ancestors! Let's go! Remember to leave blood for the Deng family! Don't let us Cut off the incense and blood!"
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the depths of the ancestral hall without looking back, where the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Deng family were enshrined.
"Grandpa!" [
Deng Qi knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
The series of iron gates, which were once proud of the residents of Jiqingwei, lost their former strength under the salute of artillery fire. After a loud noise, they collapsed to the ground.
"My lord, the fence is broken!"
The director excitedly called Chen Tianhua who was dozing on the rattan chair.
"Understood. Let the battalions rush in quickly to control the situation. Cooperate with the investigation room and the statistics room to dig out the old roots of the Deng family!"
The news that Jiqing Wai was breached by the South Central Army within two days and one night, spread quickly to every village on the south bank of the Shenzhen River like lightning, under the deliberate spread of the South Central Army troops monitoring the surrounding villages. Everyone was stunned by this dazzling news.
Under the mentality of fearing that they would become the next target of the South China Army, facing the half-soft and half-hard demands of the South China Army outside the enclosure, the leading figures in the surrounding villages had to bring the young and strong in the village to Ji Qingwei, to attend the on-site meeting organized by the South China Army.
The gate of Jiqingwei was opened to welcome this group of guests who came from all directions.That's right, it's a bit like rushing here, being chased here.
In the open space in front of the enclosure, the Nanzhong Army set up a wooden platform with planks. Dozens of wooden stakes stretched under the platform were buried deep in the soil. The leader of a group of Jiqingwei captives led by Deng Qi was tied up. on the stake.And Deng Yuanxun, who hanged himself, was also carried over by someone, wrapped in reeds, and put aside.The village chiefs and the small patriarchs who were driven from the nearby surrounding villages were politely and politely settled in the mat tents set up on the side of the platform, watching the sharp swords and guns The Nanzhong Army with sharp artillery fire, all the high-spirited figures in the weekdays have become ashamed, and they have completely lost their former prestige: Now they all hold the idea that as long as they can save their lives, they will be humiliated by their crotch It's worth it too!Otherwise, the house in the enclosure, the gold, silver and jewelry in the house, as well as the little wives who look like flowers and the big girls in the house, I don’t know who will be wriggling under the crotch of this guy!
What surprised and excited the people from all over the world who came to watch the excitement was that apart from those big figures who used to be aloof and turned into pigs and sheep tied to pillars that could be slaughtered at any time, they were killed by soldiers of the South China Army. All kinds of belongings, food, clothes, and cloth were transported out of the enclosure one by one, and they were randomly piled up in front of the table, as if they were a pile of important waste. generally.
"Fathers and elders, when the South China Army started its army, it came with the purpose of punishing the people and punishing crimes and doing justice for the heavens. What the whole army wishes is for the people of the world to be safe, well-fed and warm, to punish evil and promote good, Eliminate local tyrants and evil gentry."
Standing on the stage, Chen Tianhua spoke some official words, which made the group of onlookers below drowsy. This kind of statement, even the bandits and bullies wandering around the village would also say, such as robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Yes, in the end it is true to rob the rich and give to the poor, it is just robbing the rich and helping themselves.
"This time we broke through the Jiqing siege, our army did not do it for property, but to win the trust of the people, our army decided to send the following supplies," Chen Tianhua changed the subject, and people felt that his tone was wrong, and they immediately opened their eyes wide to listen to his words.
"Five thousand sets of high-quality silk and satin clothes, more than [-] pieces of fur clothes, more than [-] sets of single clothes of various colors, and more than [-] shi of grain were seized, including more than [-] shi of rice, [-] shi of rice, and the rest All of them are wheat. There are also more than [-] bolts of cloth of various colors, and [-] quotations of fine salt."
A series of numbers makes people mesmerized. In the past, where did people go to hear so many property figures, even if the property behind these figures is not their own, it is good to listen to it and enjoy it.
"All these properties belong to Deng Yuanxun's lineage, and they were collected from everyone in the Deng family under various names. Our army understands that heaven has the virtue of good life, and cannot bear to compete with the people for profit. All the seized wealth will be returned to the members of the Deng clan, one share for each, and we will go to our village to register for household registration later, so that we can receive our own share of property according to the distribution rules!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a bang, and the whole open space seemed like a cannon had been fired. The air suddenly became lively, and the people kept asking each other, lest they heard it wrong.After confirming that the news was wrong, the eyes of the common people became crazy!
"If you want to get something, come here to register your household registration!"
A mayor of the South Central Army stood at the other end of the field on a table of the Eight Immortals copied from Jiqingwei, holding a copper trumpet in his hand, and announced loudly there.
Immediately, thousands of young adults, including some middle-aged women, rushed towards this direction like crazy.If it wasn't for a sentry in front of the table to maintain order, the spears, knives, and firecrackers in their hands made these villagers tremble uncontrollably, and they would tear the mayor into pieces.
This well-designed scene fell into the eyes of the patriarchs of the four major families and the village chiefs of the surrounding villages without any omission.
"Amazing! The food, clothing, cloth, salt, and so-called floating wealth have been accumulated by Deng Yuanxun's lineage for decades or hundreds of years. Now the South China Army has divided them all out in a word. The accumulation of a line to buy and win over members of the Deng family is a business! But this business is a complete conspiracy, which makes people hard to guard against. If the same trick is used in my family, the group of people in my family will Aren’t they worthless, aren’t they so active?” The head of the Peng family looked distressedly at the two long dragons queuing up to distribute the floating wealth at the threshing ground in front of Jiqingwei in the old days, while he couldn’t help but wonder. .
The devil's law has been verified again, there is no worst, only worse!
Two staff members of the investigation room rushed out from the enclosure, and handed a basket full of documents, contracts, account books and the like to Chen Tianhua.
"My lord! We copied this thing from Deng Yuanxun's home!" A staff member took out an account book with a cover made of mulberry paper from the basket, and handed it to Chen Tianhua as if to show his merit.
Most of these are the land deed, land deed, house deed and other documents of the Deng family, as well as the deed of sale for the purchase of maids and servants, various correspondence documents, contracts and so on.Among them are usury documents.
The crowd who were still boiling just now calmed down as if boiling water had been poured into a bucket of ice water. They looked at this big man of the South Central Army eagerly, hoping to get some good news from him.
"Fathers and elders! This is the account book that we checked out from the bedroom of Mr. Deng, who may be the relatives and elders of many people present. I don’t want to know how much property he has? How did these properties come about?!”
If people's emotions were boiling just now, then after Chen Tianhua finished reading the property outline under Deng Yuanxun's name, the villagers present, especially the members of the Deng clan, were already on fire!
"There are more than [-] mu of paddy fields in Shanghao, [-] mu of mountains and forests, four houses in each of the provincial and county towns, more than [-] city houses, seven shops, eleven fishing boats, and six merchant ships."
These simple figures not only stunned ordinary people, but also the hall masters and village chiefs of the various branches, as well as the other four patriarchs including Hou Wenpeng, were dumbfounded.
"This old man is indeed a good hand at collecting money! He has so many real estate and shops without making any noise!"
Seeing that the mood of the people on the field was almost the same, Chen Tianhua signaled to bring Deng Qi and others to the stage.He wants to question it in public.
"Deng Qishao, it's been a long time! Let me ask you, is this account book real?"
Facing Chen Tianhua's questioning, Deng Qi was depressed. He no longer had the spirit and pride to scold Fang Qiu, and only wanted to survive.
He raised his head and glanced at the familiar cover and handwriting, he nodded, "That's right, it's my grandfather's handwriting."
"Everyone, do you want to know how Deng Yuanxun accumulated a lot of wealth?!"
There was a wave of waves in the crowd, lest people who could not hear them rush forward, the soldiers of the South China Army who maintained order around the venue and in front of the wooden platform hurriedly stopped the crowd with spears to prevent accidents.
"Apocalypse Seventh Year Autumn Sacrifice, tying up colorful archways, hiring musicians, repairing ancestral halls, and making ritual vessels, a total of 470 three taels of silver was spent. Reimbursement costs 750 six taels of silver."
"In the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen, the archway was decorated and musicians were hired. A total of 210 three taels of money was spent on Wenyin, and one thousand and sixty eight taels of silver was spent on reimbursement. Note: The archway used in the first year of Tianqi was refurbished and then reassembled, so it was saved. "
I see!No wonder we always feel that the scene during the sacrifice is seriously inconsistent with the cost, but we dare not ask!At this moment, the ordinary villagers and the hall masters cast their eyes of hatred on Deng Yuanxun who was lying in the reed mat.
"Besides, there are other matters such as misappropriating the harvest of the sacrificial fields belonging to the ancestral hall, buying land in the provincial capital to build city houses, building houses, marrying foreign houses, etc."
These are just the kindling to ignite the pile of firewood. When Chen Tianhua recited the following content aloud, people were already pouring a few barrels of oil on the emotions of braving the small fire.
The content is mostly about a certain day of a certain month, how much money was spent to buy a certain amount of land from someone, and how much money was spent to buy a woman from someone.
The location and price of the purchased land on the account book, the seller who bought the woman and the name of the woman are all familiar places and people who are familiar to the people present.The price of buying and selling fields.It is obviously much lower than the market price, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a forced buying and selling activity under the so-called fig leaf that can only be sold to the tribe first.The time of these accounts lasted from the Wanli period to half a month ago, and reached 30 years.It just coincides with Deng Yuanxun's tenure as the patriarch!
It was so!
People's emotions turned into a prairie fire, and Hou Wenpeng and other family leaders in the mat shed were terrified. They had done similar things, but to different degrees.The patriarch of the Hou family and the head of the Peng family looked at each other, and both found that the other's face was full of fear.
Such an approach is much worse than killing oneself with a knife and a gun on the battlefield. In such a way of death, the clansmen will still sacrifice and miss themselves.In the history of the family, it will also leave its own good name.Such a way of death will only be scolded by the clansmen for generations.Become a lonely ghost forever, without incense.
The fact that the clan veil was shrouded was revealed, and the bloody wound was exposed in broad daylight, which was even more shocking.
"That year, my family's field and Deng Qi's land bordered each other, and the boundary marker seemed to have grown legs. It ran towards my house every month. I went to argue with him, but he didn't even tell me if he scolded me. False accusation! Later, Mrs. Deng came out to mediate and sold my land to Deng Qi at a discount according to the number of acres on the title deed! Just now, the land was under Mr. Deng’s name, so it turned out that they were a nest of snakes and rats!”
"Deng Qi! Tell me! That year, you guys took my son to drink and gamble together. My son lost the money, and in the end, in a hurry, you put my daughter-in-law out. Did you set it up? Bureau? "Forced" my family to go far away in Nanyang, and now I don't know if I am alive or dead! Tell me, did you sell my daughter-in-law to ** village?!"
It was as if magma spewed out of the cracks in the ground, and people's anger was directed at these descendants of the Deng family.
Not only the ordinary villagers questioned and scolded them, but even some characters such as the village head or the small branch master who had seen them calling each other brothers in the past also rushed forward one after another, talking about slaps. Years of grievances have appeared on their faces and bodies.
"That year, when you were fighting with foreign surnames, you asked my family to produce fifty males. Unfortunately, my family did not even count 37 males. For this, you demanded [-] yuan from me, saying It’s money for other people’s medicine! But no one was injured that time! Tell me, where did you take my money?!”
The soldiers of the South Central Army did not stop the accusations, scolding and beating that happened among the Deng clan. On the contrary, when they saw the angry villagers rushing to the wooden pillar, they immediately stepped aside and let the villagers beat and scold. Only when a certain criminal was about to be beaten to death did he step forward to stop it.
"My lord, please make the decision for us!"
After a while, the Deng clan gradually woke up from the state of excitement, knelt down in front of the wooden platform, and asked the South China Army to execute the death penalty on this group of guys who sucked the flesh and blood of their own clan.
The processing results of that day were sent to Hue by Chen Tianhua by fast boat, and presented to Shou Han's desk.
"First, the properties and fields belonging to the Deng family's ancestral hall will be sold by the Nanzhong Army after a discount, and the proceeds will be divided equally between men, women and children in the clan, and everyone who has registered on the Nanzhong Army's household registration will get a share."
"Secondly, the clan chiefs and village chiefs no longer have the right to dispose of the clan members in all villages to which the Deng family belongs. They only have the responsibility to organize sacrifices to ancestors. The security and other matters in the village are completed by the village chief appointed by the South Central Army."
"Thirdly, Deng Yuanxun and his direct descendants organized armed forces to fight against the South China Army, killing all their families. The fields under their personal names, which have evidence to prove that they have been plundered by ingenuity, will be returned to the original owners for cultivation."
Another result occurred after Deng Yuanxun, Deng Qi and others were beheaded.
When more than two hundred sword and shield soldiers swung their long swords, chopped off the heads of Deng Yuanxun and others, and held them up high, the patriarchs of the Hou family, Wen family and other families could no longer sit still.They came to Chen Tianhua like bereaved dogs.
"I beg my lord to spare the life of the villain! As long as the head of the villain is not killed, everything will be done according to the lord, according to the decrees and military orders of the South China Army!" (To be continued.)

Six or seven six-pound cannons and five big Franglers crazily poured the cannons towards the head of the city on the river bank. In general, therefore, Mai Tiansheng adopted another artillery tactic.

More than a dozen long ladders made of bamboo were lifted across the Zhuang River with shouts by the soldiers. When one end just reached the opposite bank, it was poked on the ground by anxious soldiers. The Sangmen gun fell forward against the bamboo ladder.

"Kill!" The sword and shield soldier jumped onto the wall of the village, holding the shield in one hand and the knife in the other, covering his head with the shield, and quickly patrolled around the crenels around the ladder, but no one was found jumping up to fight.
The second person also appeared at the top of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the third person jumped to the top of the city full of broken bricks, rotten stones and corpses.The three of them formed a small formation, preparing to meet Ji Qingwei's counterattack on the city wall.
"Tell Mai Tiansheng to concentrate artillery fire on his iron gate!"
Chen Tianhua, who had been watching the flag formation all the time, could see clearly through the binoculars, and calmly ordered the commander beside him.
Having received a new military order, Mai Tiansheng naturally did not dare to neglect, and adjusted four twelve-pound guns to the positions facing the iron gate of Jiqingwei to strengthen the firepower here.

The gate of Jiqingwei was half opened!
"Grandpa, I can't, the iron gate can't hold it anymore! There is also the South China Army at the top of the city, you go quickly..."
Deng Qiyi held a precious sword in his hand, with blood dripping down from the sword, and limped into the ancestral hall. The robe was covered with blood, and it was not known whether it was his own blood or the blood of the Nanzhong Army, which made his heart jump.The helmet on his head was blown away by a passing graupel, which also broke his bun.

"People in the enclosure are in a 'chaos', the people on the wall are all scattered, and the thieves of the Southern Barbarians keep rushing in. Grandpa, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
In a day's time, Deng Yuanxun was already so old and haggard that he didn't look like a human being.
"Go, where are you going? As I said this morning, this dress is my shroud. I want to wear it to meet my ancestors! Let's go! Remember to leave blood for the Deng family! Don't let us Cut off the incense and blood!"
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the depths of the ancestral hall without looking back, where the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Deng family were enshrined.
"Grandpa!" [
Deng Qi knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
The series of iron gates, which were once proud of the residents of Jiqingwei, lost their former strength under the salute of artillery fire. After a loud noise, they collapsed to the ground.
"My lord, the fence is broken!"
The director excitedly called Chen Tianhua who was dozing on the rattan chair.
"Understood. Let the battalions rush in quickly to control the situation. Cooperate with the investigation room and the statistics room to dig out the old roots of the Deng family!"
The news that Jiqing Wai was breached by the South Central Army within two days and one night, spread quickly to every village on the south bank of the Shenzhen River like lightning, under the deliberate spread of the South Central Army troops monitoring the surrounding villages. Everyone was stunned by this dazzling news.

"Five thousand sets of high-quality silk and satin clothes, more than [-] pieces of fur clothes, more than [-] sets of single clothes of various colors, and more than [-] shi of grain were seized, including more than [-] shi of rice, [-] shi of rice, and the rest All of them are wheat. There are also more than [-] bolts of cloth of various colors, and [-] quotations of fine salt."
A series of numbers makes people mesmerized. In the past, where did people go to hear so many property figures, even if the property behind these figures is not their own, it is good to listen to it and enjoy it.

A mayor of the South Central Army stood at the other end of the field on a table of the Eight Immortals copied from Jiqingwei, holding a copper trumpet in his hand, and announced loudly there.
Immediately, thousands of young adults, including some middle-aged women, rushed towards this direction like crazy.If it wasn't for a sentry in front of the table to maintain order, the spears, knives, and firecrackers in their hands made these villagers tremble uncontrollably, and they would tear the mayor into pieces.

The devil's law has been verified again, there is no worst, only worse!
Two staff members of the investigation room rushed out from the enclosure, and handed a basket full of documents, contracts, account books and the like to Chen Tianhua.
"My lord! We copied this thing from Deng Yuanxun's home!" A staff member took out an account book with a cover made of mulberry paper from the basket, and handed it to Chen Tianhua as if to show his merit.
Most of these are the land deed, land deed, house deed and other documents of the Deng family, as well as the deed of sale for the purchase of maids and servants, various correspondence documents, contracts and so on.Among them are usury documents.
The crowd who were still boiling just now calmed down as if boiling water had been poured into a bucket of ice water. They looked at this big man of the South Central Army eagerly, hoping to get some good news from him.

"There are more than [-] mu of paddy fields in Shanghao, [-] mu of mountains and forests, four houses in each of the provincial and county towns, more than [-] city houses, seven shops, eleven fishing boats, and six merchant ships."
These simple figures not only stunned ordinary people, but also the hall masters and village chiefs of the various branches, as well as the other four patriarchs including Hou Wenpeng, were dumbfounded.
"This old man is indeed a good hand at collecting money! He has so many real estate and shops without making any noise!"
Seeing that the mood of the people on the field was almost the same, Chen Tianhua signaled to bring Deng Qi and others to the stage.He wants to question it in public.
"Deng Qishao, it's been a long time! Let me ask you, is this account book real?"
Facing Chen Tianhua's questioning, Deng Qi was depressed. He no longer had the spirit and pride to scold Fang Qiu, and only wanted to survive.
He raised his head and glanced at the familiar cover and handwriting, he nodded, "That's right, it's my grandfather's handwriting."
"Everyone, do you want to know how Deng Yuanxun accumulated a lot of wealth?!"
There was a wave of waves in the crowd, lest people who could not hear them rush forward, the soldiers of the South China Army who maintained order around the venue and in front of the wooden platform hurriedly stopped the crowd with spears to prevent accidents.
"Apocalypse Seventh Year Autumn Sacrifice, tying up colorful archways, hiring musicians, repairing ancestral halls, and making ritual vessels, a total of 470 three taels of silver was spent. Reimbursement costs 750 six taels of silver."
"In the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen, the archway was decorated and musicians were hired. A total of 210 three taels of money was spent on Wenyin, and one thousand and sixty eight taels of silver was spent on reimbursement. Note: The archway used in the first year of Tianqi was refurbished and then reassembled, so it was saved. "
I see!No wonder we always feel that the scene during the sacrifice is seriously inconsistent with the cost, but we dare not ask!At this moment, the ordinary villagers and the hall masters cast their eyes of hatred on Deng Yuanxun who was lying in the reed mat.

The content is mostly about a certain day of a certain month, how much money was spent to buy a certain amount of land from someone, and how much money was spent to buy a woman from someone.
The location and price of the purchased land on the account book, the seller who bought the woman and the name of the woman are all familiar places and people who are familiar to the people present.The price of buying and selling fields.It is obviously much lower than the market price, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a forced buying and selling activity under the so-called fig leaf that can only be sold to the tribe first.The time of these accounts lasted from the Wanli period to half a month ago, and reached 30 years.It just coincides with Deng Yuanxun's tenure as the patriarch!
It was so!
People's emotions turned into a prairie fire, and Hou Wenpeng and other family leaders in the mat shed were terrified. They had done similar things, but to different degrees.The patriarch of the Hou family and the head of the Peng family looked at each other, and both found that the other's face was full of fear.
Such an approach is much worse than killing oneself with a knife and a gun on the battlefield. In such a way of death, the clansmen will still sacrifice and miss themselves.In the history of the family, it will also leave its own good name.Such a way of death will only be scolded by the clansmen for generations.Become a lonely ghost forever, without incense.
The fact that the clan veil was shrouded was revealed, and the bloody wound was exposed in broad daylight, which was even more shocking.
"That year, my family's field and Deng Qi's land bordered each other, and the boundary marker seemed to have grown legs. It ran towards my house every month. I went to argue with him, but he didn't even tell me if he scolded me. False accusation! Later, Mrs. Deng came out to mediate and sold my land to Deng Qi at a discount according to the number of acres on the title deed! Just now, the land was under Mr. Deng’s name, so it turned out that they were a nest of snakes and rats!”
"Deng Qi! Tell me! That year, you guys took my son to drink and gamble together. My son lost the money, and in the end, in a hurry, you put my daughter-in-law out. Did you set it up? Bureau? "Forced" my family to go far away in Nanyang, and now I don't know if I am alive or dead! Tell me, did you sell my daughter-in-law to ** village?!"
It was as if magma spewed out of the cracks in the ground, and people's anger was directed at these descendants of the Deng family.
Not only the ordinary villagers questioned and scolded them, but even some characters such as the village head or the small branch master who had seen them calling each other brothers in the past also rushed forward one after another, talking about slaps. Years of grievances have appeared on their faces and bodies.
"That year, when you were fighting with foreign surnames, you asked my family to produce fifty males. Unfortunately, my family did not even count 37 males. For this, you demanded [-] yuan from me, saying It’s money for other people’s medicine! But no one was injured that time! Tell me, where did you take my money?!”
The soldiers of the South Central Army did not stop the accusations, scolding and beating that happened among the Deng clan. On the contrary, when they saw the angry villagers rushing to the wooden pillar, they immediately stepped aside and let the villagers beat and scold. Only when a certain criminal was about to be beaten to death did he step forward to stop it.
"My lord, please make the decision for us!"
After a while, the Deng clan gradually woke up from the state of excitement, knelt down in front of the wooden platform, and asked the South China Army to execute the death penalty on this group of guys who sucked the flesh and blood of their own clan.
The processing results of that day were sent to Hue by Chen Tianhua by fast boat, and presented to Shou Han's desk.
"First, the properties and fields belonging to the Deng family's ancestral hall will be sold by the Nanzhong Army after a discount, and the proceeds will be divided equally between men, women and children in the clan, and everyone who has registered on the Nanzhong Army's household registration will get a share."
"Secondly, the clan chiefs and village chiefs no longer have the right to dispose of the clan members in all villages to which the Deng family belongs. They only have the responsibility to organize sacrifices to ancestors. The security and other matters in the village are completed by the village chief appointed by the South Central Army."
"Thirdly, Deng Yuanxun and his direct descendants organized armed forces to fight against the South China Army, killing all their families. The fields under their personal names, which have evidence to prove that they have been plundered by ingenuity, will be returned to the original owners for cultivation."
Another result occurred after Deng Yuanxun, Deng Qi and others were beheaded.
When more than two hundred sword and shield soldiers swung their long swords, chopped off the heads of Deng Yuanxun and others, and held them up high, the patriarchs of the Hou family, Wen family and other families could no longer sit still.They came to Chen Tianhua like bereaved dogs.
"I beg my lord to spare the life of the villain! As long as the head of the villain is not killed, everything will be done according to the lord, according to the decrees and military orders of the South China Army!" (To be continued.)
