Blood from Daming

Chapter 599 Stop Killing
Walking in front of the entire fire dragon was Yang Zhenlei's team. Xue Yun led his soldiers and walked with Yang Zhenlei. It was almost three o'clock, and Xue's army had already seen the outline of Jiangzhou City through the black mist. Yun signaled the whole army to put out the torches and stop advancing, waiting for the report from the last group of scouts.

Now the Jiangzhou gentry in the rear team were in a hurry, and they found Wang Erwa of the Chinese army and asked the Xue family army to launch an attack. The flames in the city flickered and flickered, these gentry were so anxious that Wang Erwa couldn't bear to be entangled, and directly separated these people with soldiers.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, a general banner under Yang Zhenlei came back and reported to Xue Yun and Yang Zhenlei: "General, leader, the people from the Holy Church at the east gate of Jiangzhou City have just sent a message. They have all been evacuated from the city."

Yang Zhenlei asked, "How is the city doing now?"

Zongqi replied: "Reporting to the leader, according to the person who delivered the news from the Holy Church, the city is in great chaos now, and there are armed gangs everywhere who kill and set fire, but most of these people are local gangsters in Jiangzhou."

Yang Zhenlei said, "How is the situation at the East Gate?"

Zongqi said: "Chief, the east gate is concealed, and the little one has already let his subordinates control the east gate."

Yang Zhenlei said angrily: "Grandma, you're such a long-winded talker, why didn't such news come out earlier."

Yang Zhenlei looked at Xue Yun, Xue Yun said: "There should be no ambush, order Xue's army to enter the city quickly, and those who resist and disobey our army's orders will be killed without mercy."

Xue Yun's order was conveyed quickly. Almost instantly, a fire dragon appeared in the dark and swam towards the east gate of Jiangzhou City at an extremely fast speed. It took only half an hour for the front army of Xue's army to reach the east gate of Jiangzhou City. Arriving at the east gate of Jiangzhou City, according to the arrangement of the Mingjiao, the forward of the Xue family army killed dozens of prisoners tied up near the city gate, and it was right to be the beheaded Bailian Cultists.

The Xue family army filed into the east gate of Jiangzhou City. Seeing how easy it was for Xue Yun to enter Jiangzhou City, Xue Yun felt incredible. It seems that Mingjiao wanted to drag Xue Jiajun to the side of Mingjiao besides being afraid of the strength of Xuejiajun. Go, at worst, I hope Xue Jiajun will become the enemy of the court.

After Wang Erwa, the middle army of Xue's army, arrived at the city gate, Xue Yun, accompanied by Yang Zhenlei, went up to the gate tower of the east gate of Jiangzhou City. In the wing room of the city gate tower, ten large gold-painted boxes were seen, and Xue Yun ordered his soldiers to open the ten large boxes.

When Xue Yun's personal soldiers opened the ten large boxes, Xue Yun looked carefully through the torch, and was still surprised by the gold, silver and jewelry in the box, which was estimated to be at least seven to eighty thousand taels of silver. It is not a big state that can collect so much property in one day and leave it to the Xue family army, seeing how much hope Mingjiao has placed on him.

Xue Yun ordered a team of personal soldiers to be guarded, and he and Yang Zhenlei went out of the wing room, and came to the west window of the main hall, looking at the flickering lights of Jiangzhou city in the west, and heard the shouts from afar. Sha Sheng, knowing that there are still people who don't know what to do in Jinzhou City to resist, so that with these people on their backs, the head of the White Lotus Sect will have a source.

Yang Zhenlei said: "Young Master, that Elder Wang is really willing to leave. With so many gold and silver jewelry left here, I guess they didn't bring much property with them."

Xue Yun nodded and said: "Brother, Elder Wang is not stupid. He is sure that I am not a dishonest person, so he found a porter for free, saving him Mingjiao from secretly transporting money in Datong City."

Yang Zhenlei said: "Speaking of which, Elder Wang is really cunning, but the gold and silver treasures in those ten large boxes are enough to buy two or three thousand good horses. The Mingjiao is really determined to revolt."

Xue Yun thought for a while and said: "Mingjiao wants to buy war horses, weapons and equipment. They go to fight with the court, and the pressure on our Xue family army is much less. Otherwise, once the court frees up its hands and feet, our Xue family will be the first to deal with it." gone."

Yang Zhenlei said: "Young master, it is really expensive to sell war horse weapons and equipment. Is our Datong Army going to expand the weapon workshop, or if Mingjiao gets some more money, we will have nothing to sell to them."

Xue Yun said: "Brother's proposal is very forward-looking. He won the large-scale civil unrest in Shaanxi and sold high-quality weapons, but he is a businessman who makes a lot of money. Hey, I just feel that he is a little bit helping the evildoers and harming the people of the world."

Yang Zhenlei said: "Young master, you are too kind. The fate of the people in the world is determined by the sky. They are really bad for their own fate. They were born in this troubled world. The young master stopped killing by killing. I don't know how many people in Ming Dynasty have been saved. Otherwise, the people of Datong and even Daming would be the young master’s savior.”

Xue Yun didn't expect that his own words would lead to a lot of crooked reasons from Yang Zhenlei, but Xue Yun knew that no matter how many people died in the Ming Dynasty, as long as he ruled the Ming Dynasty by himself, it would be better than being conquered by Jianlu, and then going to wipe out his clothes. The human relationship continued to grow, and the Han nation was reduced to the slaves of Jianlu, and it has not recovered its Han and Tang glory after hundreds of years.

Xue Yun laughed at himself and said: "It's good to stop killing by killing, big brother. In the future, the price of war horse weapons will be greatly increased. Anyway, these rebels can easily get money, but for us to support the rebellious army, the price is negotiable. , even credit can be considered.”

The noise of killings in Jiangzhou City was overwhelming, but Xue Yun and Yang Zhenlei were developing underground weapons throughout Daming. The two talked for more than half an hour, and the sky had already begun to turn white, gradually revealing the entire face of Jiangzhou City Well, the city did not burn into a large-scale fire, but the entire inner city was filled with thick smoke, but the shouts of killing became more and more sparse.

At this time, Wang Erwa ran to the gatehouse where Xue Yun and Yang Zhenlei were, and Wang Erwa reported to Xue Yun: "Master, the chaos in the city is almost cleared up, and a dozen or so soldiers were captured just now. The miscellaneous army that followed us into the city, these people took advantage of the fire to loot, but many gentry begged hard to let those people go, so the young ones really couldn't do it."

Xue Yun knew that Wang Erwa was haunted by those gentry and literati, so he decided to kill those miscellaneous troops immediately, so he sighed and said, "Erwa, as long as the miscellaneous troops do not have blood debts, let the gentry handle it themselves." .”

Wang Erwa said that those miscellaneous troops were all greedy and embezzled, and wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they did not kill and set fire; then Wang Erwa reported that Xue Jiajun had killed more than 1000 local ruffians and people who participated in smashing and looting in Jiangzhou City. There were also nearly 2000 prisoners, and now the order in the entire city of Jinzhou is gradually being restored.

Xue Yun knew that the thousands of people who participated in the robbery of Jiangzhou City were all instigated by Mingjiao, but Mingjiao was eager to get away and gave these people as sacrifices to Xue's army, so that Mingjiao could escape to Shaanxi to escape. With these people as scapegoats, Mingjiao might be able to escape the thunderous blow of the Ming army.

It was completely clear that day, and a large group of people flocked to the downstairs of the East Gate City. A group of gentry surrounded the magistrate of Jiangzhou City and asked to see General Wang. Wang Erwa waited for Xue Yun to speak. Xue Yun wondered where the magistrate of Jiangzhou came from. Since the landlord is here, Xue Yun later told Wang Erwa to receive him well.

Xue Yun's soldiers passed on the word that Jiangzhou magistrate was allowed to meet at the gate tower. After a while, Jiangzhou magistrate was accompanied by the retired official and came down to the gate tower. Xue Yun's soldiers only let Jiangzhou magistrate near the gate tower. In the main hall, retired officials were blocked outside the gate tower.

Now the retired official was in a hurry, so he shouted loudly outside, hoping to be received by Wang Erwa and other generals of the Xue family army. Xue Yun signaled Wang Erwa to let the retired official in. , the face of Jiangzhou Zhizhou on the side was extremely ugly.

When the retired official saw Wang Erwa, he asked about the dozen or so miscellaneous troops. Wang Erwa whetted the appetite of the retired official and said, "Well, after you bring in the promised grain to help the people in Jiangzhou, this general Just let them go."

The retired official breathed a sigh of relief because one of his grandsons was also involved in the robbery and was arrested by the Xue family army. If the Xue family army wanted to kill him, his grandson would lose his life. Now General Wang let go At that time, the retired officials quickly thanked them, saying that they would immediately mobilize the gentry to bring food into the city.

The retired officials immediately went down the east gate wall to organize the gentry to transport relief food to the victims of the disaster in the city; Jiangzhou Zhizhou then began to speak: "Generals, now that Jiangzhou City has been recovered, I will definitely mobilize the gentry in the city Greatly reward the Xue family's army, but I have an unfeeling request from the lower officials, and I ask all the generals to fulfill it."

As soon as Xue Yun heard it, he knew that the Lord Zhizhou had something to say. Sure enough, the Lord Zhizhou really got Wang Erwa's consent and said: "Generals, you have captured thousands of White Lotus Sect bandits. The number of White Lotus Sect members can be reported ten times, so that the contributions made by the generals will be greater, and the rewards from the court will be more generous, I don't know what the generals think."

Xue Yun said in his heart that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and Xue Yun already understood what the Lord Zhizhou asked for, and seeing Yang Zhenlei and Wang Erwa looking at him, he knew that he was the only one who came out to make a decision, so he said to the Lord Zhizhou: "Lord Zhizhou, let's talk about your unfeeling request first."
