Mingshi

Chapter 1353 Surrender
The scholar's face became pale and said:
"When I heard such a big event, I naturally pricked up my ears. After I heard it, I realized that Mr. Luo first went to Jiangxi. Colluding with the rebels means that in the past, the imperial court only gave them favors without demonstrations, so that these mountain people have no fear of the imperial court in their hearts, thinking that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied, and will be capricious if they are slightly unsatisfactory. This time they will definitely be killed Being timid makes them feel awe of the imperial court.

Zhang Daoyuan and the others had already been defeated by Marshal Hu, and there were not even a few hundred people left in their hands. How could a few hundred people kill 10,000+ officers and soldiers?

The main force that really killed 10,000+ officers and soldiers was not the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, but those capricious mountain people.Therefore, Lord Luo personally led his troops into the deep mountains and old forests to slaughter the eighteen villages of the mountain people. "

"Good!" Everyone in the teahouse cheered.At this time, another scholar stood up and said, "Lord Luo's move is against the way of a saint."

The people in the teahouse were silent, and all looked at the scholar in unison. The scholar flicked his sleeves and said:
"The way of a sage should be based on enlightenment. Slaughtering living beings has already gone the way of the devil. There must be tens of thousands of people in the Eighteen Villages of the Mountain People. Could it be that Master Luo just slaughtered them all?"

"Shut up!" The first scholar slapped the table angrily and shouted: "What? Those mountain people are human beings, but our Daming army is not human? They killed more than [-] of our Daming soldiers. In your heart, they are still human. Good people, not devils?
Could it be that those mountain people are human beings, but our Ming soldiers are not human beings?

They can kill more than [-] Ming soldiers, so we can't kill them?
How funny! "

The scholar flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "What's more polite is that I heard those people in Taibai Restaurant say that now the whole capital is rumored that there was Bai Qi in ancient times, and Luo Xin now. "

"........."

Emperor Jiajing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.The scholar continued: "I would like to ask everyone, before today, did you know that Mr. Luo went to Jiangxi to suppress bandits?"

"You don't even know that Lord Luo went to Jiangxi to suppress the bandits, so how did you know that Lord Luo is going to massacre the Eighteen Villages of the Mountain People?"

"We don't know." Everyone shook their heads.

"You all don't know that Lord Luo went to Jiangxi to suppress the bandits, let alone that Lord Luo is going to massacre the Eighteen Villages, so how do you know that there was Bai Qi in ancient times, and Luo Xin today?"

"We don't know, do you know?" Some people began to ask each other.

"I don't know! I've never heard of it, and today is the first time I've heard of it."

"It's also the first time I've heard of it."

"Mr. Wang, you are a storyteller and well-informed. Have you ever heard the saying that there is Bai Qi in ancient times, and Luo Xin today?"

The storyteller shook his head again and again and said, "I didn't know Lord Luo went to Jiangxi, so how could he know the things and rumors about Lord Luo?"

"........."

There was a lot of discussion in the teahouse, Emperor Jiajing's face was ashen, with his wisdom, how could he not know, this is someone deliberately spreading the saying that there is Bai Qi in ancient times, and Luo Xin today.

Judging from the situation in this teahouse, the saying that there is Baiqi in ancient times and Luo Xin today has just begun to spread, and this sentence was said by Emperor Jiajing from Xu Jie in the imperial study room in the morning. Since then, this sentence Who spread it from, and who contributed to it, needless to say?

"Xu Jie!"

Emperor Jiajing gritted his teeth. The feeling of being played by others made Emperor Jiajing feel like killing people. He took a deep breath, got up and left the teahouse.

"Master, shall we go to Taibai Restaurant?"

"No need to go! Go back to the palace."

Emperor Jiajing said in a low voice, with his wisdom, he naturally knew that there was no need to go there. At this time, there should be a source of communication, and then spread the rumors that are not good for Luo Xin. Now that everyone knows what is going on, go dare what?
to get angry?

In the teahouse, shortly after Emperor Jiajing left, the two scholars also left quietly.The two scholars and the storyteller are both Wang Cuiqiao's people, the cooperation of the three is seamless, and two things are happening in countless places in the capital today.

One thing is that some people are yelling at Luo Xin for being cruel, spreading the saying that in ancient times there was whiteness, but now there is Luo Xin.Another thing is that some people have various ways, there are storytellers in the way of telling stories, there are ways of chatting among friends, and there are ways of mysterious revelations, but no matter which way, they are all stating one thing, that is, the mountain people The greed, cruelty and savagery of the people told about the countless evil things those mountain people had done.Naturally, Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin sent troops.

These two incidents spread throughout the capital at a terrifying speed, and finally collided uncontrollably, erupting into a volcanic controversy.

One party denounced Luo Xin for being cruel, and the other denounced the other party for being pedantic, and taking the lives of Han people as human lives.

the next day.

The court also became lively, and Fuxingshe officials headed by Zhang Xun and others also began to play, criticizing Xu Jie and Gao Gong and others for being pedantic, and even denouncing Xu Jie and Gao Gong. Kindness to the enemy is to one's own people. If this continues, Daming will be destroyed in the hands of these rotten scholars.

Emperor Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these memorials where the two sides were arguing fiercely.

It's good to have an argument!
Only now can Emperor Jiajing have room to maneuver, and it can also delay him for some time.

Jiangxi.

Lao Lin.

Luo Xin's army was marching towards the third cottage, when suddenly the team in front stopped.

"What's going on?" Luo Xin asked intently.

Soon, General Wang, the commander of the former army, ran over, followed by a middle-aged man. Luo Xin recognized him as a mountain man with a flash of his eyes.

"My lord, this is the owner of the third village."

"Oh?" Luo Xin looked up and down the middle-aged man, with dark skin and very strong, and said, "What's your name?"

"Villain Hao Datong, meet Lord Luo."

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Why are you looking for this officer? Do you know that this officer entered Lao Lin this time to slaughter all your Eighteen Villages?"

There was fear in Hao Datong's eyes, and his voice was a little trembling: "Little man...knows."

Luo Xin's eyes showed a fierce killing intent, "Then you still dare to come? Are you looking for death?"

"I……"

With a sound of "Plop", Hao Datong knelt down on the ground: "The villain begs the lord to give us a way out."

"Give you a way out?" Luo Xin said with a gloomy face, "Then who will give way to the hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers who died?"

"I……"

Hao Datong was really scared, he was not a powerful person among the mountain people.At the beginning, Hu Zongxian captured five villages in a row, but he also lost troops and lost generals. In the end, he was united by the remaining thirteen villages. Of course, they also recruited powerless mountain people like Hao Datong and others as cannon fodder, and dealt Hu Zongxian a fatal blow.
