Chapter 234 Wrath! Massacre hundreds of thousands of conspiring troops! Earl!

  It is now the deep winter of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the Qingjiangpu area is covered with snow for ten miles.

  Zhang Gui walked in this world of ice, snow and glass, stepping on broken jade and chaotic jade.

   And on the banks of the canal, a large number of disheveled people with desperate and numb eyes were watching the Guards abandon their boats and land indifferently.

   They are not afraid of the officers and soldiers.

  Even if the official army may have less military discipline than the bandits.

  Because they have nothing to grab.

"Have you seen the people here? They still haven't lived a good life. What does this mean? It means that the implementation of the reform and new policies is not enough! The two national policies of clearing Zhang Tianmu and recovering land taxes in the south of the Yangtze River only make the country rich, not yet rich. People who come here!"

   "It is precisely because of this that Huang Binqing and other Xilin scholars feel that the imperial court is slow. In fact, there are indeed many who support the reform. After the country is rich, they are not active in enriching the people."

  Zhang Gui said something he wanted to say to Zhou Neng.

  The more Zhou Neng listened, the more he felt that what his Master Hou said was like the feeling of the cold wind like a knife hanging on his face, making him wonder how to respond.

  At this time, the mangpao official who planned to assassinate Zhang Gui and a group of officials and gentry who hadn't escaped in time were arrested, and they all knelt on the ground.

  Plus the captured soldiers and the brave people organized by these officials and gentry.

  These people knelt down the entire Qingjiangpu Ferry, and some had to kneel in the icy water, waiting tremblingly for Zhang Gui's execution.

   "Caojiang Admiral Xin Chengbo, you are very powerful, dare to assassinate this governor."

   Zhang Gui looked at the man in the python robe and said with a smile.

This man in the python robe is indeed Zhao Zhilong, Uncle Xincheng, who is currently serving as the admiral of Caojiang, in charge of Nanjing's upper and lower river defenses. But now, what Zhang Gui did not expect is that this Uncle Xincheng actually controls the Caojiang River in the Qingjiangpu area. soldier.

  However, in any case, Zhao Zhilong's plan to get rid of Zhang Gui in Qingjiangpu has failed.

  Now he can only let Zhang Gui deal with him.

  Because the facts have proved that Zhang Gui is fine!

  There is no leaderless situation in the guards here.

   And such a guard army, even if it has only 50,000 troops, can still break through the line of defense composed of hundreds of thousands of cao soldiers and Jiang Fang soldiers, and take down Qingjiangpu!

  Zhao Zhilong could only beg tremblingly at this time: "Master, please forgive me! I made such a big mistake because I was confused for a moment! I promise I will never dare again."

  Zhang Gui asked coldly: "Do you think it's still useful for you to beg for mercy now?"

  Zhao Zhilong's lips trembled, he never thought that Zhang Gui would be so fateful, and now, as Uncle Xin, he didn't have any precautions or preparations.

  Ye Chengxue, who didn’t know that he was involved in this matter, was Li Guopu’s, but in fact Zhao Zhilong was Zhang Gui’s.

  Zhao Zhilong now only has endless fear.

  He is actually afraid of death.

   Otherwise, he would not have surrendered to become a slave in history.

  Before that, the reason why he dared to assassinate Zhang Gui was naturally a gambler's mentality.

   After all, killing Zhang Gui is of great benefit to him! Too many to count.

   What's more, he is not the only one who wants to kill Zhang Gui, everyone who doesn't want to be equaled wants to kill Zhang Gui!

  Therefore, Zhao Zhilong couldn't help being unwilling.

   But Zhao Zhilong didn't succeed, so now he can only be afraid, and even beg Zhang Gui for this.

   "Uncle Guo! I really don't dare to be humble again! You are a person blessed by the gods of the world, I really dare not!"

  Zhao Zhilong cried out sincerely.

"This supervisor is quite willing to believe that what you are saying now is sincere, but this supervisor will not forgive you, because this supervisor will not allow a person who murdered this supervisor to die well. This is the bottom line and principle of this supervisor. "

As Zhang Gui spoke, he ordered: "Order Shen Shouyue, the commander-in-chief of the naval division of the Guards, to **** Zhao Zhilong to his flagship, and let the medical guards cut him when the ship goes down to Nanjing. He is not allowed to die when he arrives in Nanjing." Master Ben wants to let his meat fall into the Yangtze River to feed the fish, so as to comfort the soldiers who were killed by his mastermind and burned and fell into the water!"

"yes!"

   Zhou Neng replied.

Zhao Zhilong was taken aback when he heard this, and when he was dragged down again, he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Guo! Don't! Don't do this! I really know my mistake, I really know my mistake! You can't cut me off! , Let the meat of the humble official feed the fish! How can you say that the humble official is an earl! Uncle Guo, you can’t do this!”

  Zhang Gui ignored him, and only looked at another arrested official: "Report your name and official position."

   "Lu Mingde, the former left servant of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing."

  After Lu Mingde answered, he pursed his lips and cried: "I beg the supervisor to spare my life, Wansheng is willing to give all of his salary, and I only want to leave Wansheng alone!"

  Zhang Gui asked: "Besides Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong and general Li Yulan, who else participated in this matter? Report the truth."

  Lu Mingde replied: "In Beijing, there is Ye Chengxue, who was newly promoted to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and outside the customs, there is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, as well as Jiannu and Mongols. In addition, there is Dong Shangshu and Dong Tingsong from Jiangnan..."

  Lu Mingde truthfully reported the report.

   "Let him write a confession and write it down!"

   Zhang Gui ordered.

  Thus, Lu Mingde then wrote the confession and handed it over to Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui glanced at it, and said: "Seeing that your confession is quite honest, I won't cut you. I will drag you out and shoot him on the bank as a sacrifice to the soldiers who died in Jiangshan! Let those who have not killed anyone Recruits are responsible for shooting!"

"yes!"

   Zhou Neng agreed.

  After hearing this, Lu Mingde still shouted: "Forgive me, Uncle Guo!"

  But Zhang Gui didn't respond, and looked at the snowy plain and clear water with a calm face.

  Lu Mingde was escorted to the river, where he knelt down in the bitterly cold water.

   At this time, his whole body had already started to tremble.

boom!

  The guard recruits who had already lined up shot him in the head.

  Lu Mingde fell to death in the river because of this, and the emerald green water suddenly turned red.

  Here, Zhang Gui glanced at a large number of officials, gentry, soldiers and Ding Xiangyong who were still kneeling, and ordered: "These people are also taken to the shore and shot."

  Zhang Guowei couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Master, there are no less than 100,000 people, do you really want to shoot them all?"

   "Shoot!"

   Zhang Gui gritted his teeth and said.

  In Zhang Gui's opinion, if these people can participate in a mutiny against the central officials of the imperial court, it means that these people are all these reactionary officials.

  Because it is impossible for real ordinary soldiers and civilians to enter the river defense system and water transportation system to serve as soldiers and eat food.

   After all, these people need to eat empty pay.

   Those who can still serve as soldiers and eat food in these systems are all people who are inextricably related to these opposing officials and gentry.

   Not relatives, relatives of relatives.

  Zhang Gui is very clear that in today's Daming, there is no good person who can still work in the bureaucracy, especially in places like Jiangnan!

  So, Zhang Gui made up his mind, he will slaughter all these officers and soldiers who dare to attack him!

"yes!"

  Zhang Guowei thought about it, but still chose to convey Zhang Gui's order.

  Thus, these opposing officials and their officers and soldiers were ordered to turn their heads to face the canal by the guards holding guns.

  Then, the guard recruits on the shore began to shoot the opposing officials kneeling at the front and the officers and soldiers under their command.

And these anti-officials and gentry who have lost their fighting spirit and their officers and soldiers, although they are usually majestic in front of the people, they are all cowardly at the moment, and no one chooses to resist, even though their number is larger than that of the guards many.

boom!

boom!

boom!

   With the sound of gunshots, batch after batch of reactionary officers and soldiers and village braves fell to their deaths in the river.

  Zhang Gui watched this scene seriously.

  He has no sympathy for these people at this moment, because he knows that if he is really burned to death today, these people will not have sympathy for him, and they will even go along with these opposing officials to discredit him.

   "Uncle Zhang! We are the ones who plan to burn you to death, and they have nothing to do with them! Why do you have to raise the butcher's knife! Let yourself fall to the point of inhumanity!"

   Hearing the continuous gunfire in front of him, Zeng Zhishan, an official who had once served as the Minister of Taichang Temple, couldn't take it anymore, so he raised his head and yelled at Zhang Gui.
