Chapter 264

It's no wonder that the gentry are so thoughtful. It's not only the people who suffer in troubled times, but also these squires and local dignitaries. They are also victims. You know, the people attack these local tyrants and gentry first, because only they have money and food and have something for the mobs to rob.

In addition, the officers and soldiers come to clean up. You should know that the officers and soldiers are also composed of poor people. Most of them are poor. When they fight, they inevitably carry out some burning, killing and plundering, which is inevitable. It can be said that in troubled times, there is no difference between soldiers and thieves.

Many people of insight are looking forward to the imperial court sending a large army to rescue them. They are also afraid that the soldiers of the imperial court will hurt them more cruelly than the mobs. But now it is Laizhou army. We are all villagers and know each other. As long as we have a relationship, we will never hurt them. The Liu family is also a rich family and a local leader, They also won't hurt people they know. Now that they have climbed the relationship and got the safety command flag here, they can rest easy.

The so-called security command flag is Liu Bu's idea. That is, as long as these squires hold the security flag issued by Liu Bu's military department and insert it at the door, no one can enter, and they will be strictly protected by their officers and soldiers. Liu Bu even sent some soldiers to work for these squires, visit their relatives, retrieve their property and rob their homes.

Liu Bu's practice won the unanimous praise of the gentry in Dengzhou. Everyone praised General Liu bu one after another. He was indeed a young hero.

Liu Bu was in charge of the overall situation in the governor's Yamen. At this time, good news came from the front, that is, they successfully captured Zhang Ergou.

When Liu Bu heard Zhang Ergou, the name of HaoTu, he caught this man. What can he preach?

However, the squires in the city were elated. They said one after another: "congratulations to the great general. Congratulations to the great general. The great general captured the first criminal of the civil commotion and made a great contribution. The emperor said he could not reward him personally."

It turned out that Zhang Ergou was the mastermind who provoked the civil commotion. Since he captured the Dengzhou mansion, he has been known as the general of heaven and occupied the Dengzhou general's mansion. Many people have been harmed by him. These squires hate Zhang Ergou who provoked the civil commotion. When they hear that he has been arrested, they want to drink his blood and eat his meat.

Liu Bu, a general, can't be called a great general. He's just a guerrilla. It's a compliment to call a general. But now he's the most powerful man in Dengzhou City, the only one with military power, and the rescuer of Dengzhou city. So everyone respected him and praised him as a great general.

Liu preached, "since we have caught the first offender, we will immediately release him to the general's house."

There is no need to tell, because Zhang Ergou is the prime criminal of this civil commotion. If you catch him, you will catch the bandit leader. Mizhu can also nominally solve this civil commotion. The soldiers know that they caught a big fish, so they pressed Zhang Ergou directly to the governor's Yamen, the current guerrilla general's station.

Zhang Ergou is a tall and tough man. If he puts on an iron armor, he also looks powerful and extraordinary. However, his iron armor has been stripped down, his hair is scattered, his whole body is injured, and he is very embarrassed. Where is there any spirit of a great general.

As soon as Liu Bu heard that the other party was known as a great general, he was so famous, proud and arrogant. He thought he was such a great hero. As a result, he was just like a naughty and gangster leader in the street.

Don't mention that Zhang Er Gou used to be the gangster leader of Zhangjia village. A group of gangsters obeyed his orders. However, this tax collection was received from his family. He couldn't bear it. It was definitely not because of asking for orders for the people or acting for heaven. The direct thing was that he couldn't bear oppression, knocked down the other party and became a person who could oppress others.

Liu Bu didn't say anything, but these squires picked up stones one after another and smashed Zhang Ergou. Some spit on him and said gnashing their teeth: "dog thief! I want to drink your blood and eat your meat."

Zhang Ergou has the spirit of a hero. He said, "since I became a prisoner of rank today, I'll have a good time. Anyway, I've been the king of Dengzhou for a few days, eaten all the delicious food and played all the women in the world. My life is worth it."

A bad old man said angrily, "you still want to find a pleasure. For the disaster you have committed today, you will not only be punished and executed late, but also kill the nine families."

When the bad old man said this, the other squires said one after another: "yes, yes, we must escort the first criminal who caused the civil commotion to Beijing, punish him in name and execute him late."

When it came to lingchi's execution of Zhang Ergou, he was afraid. He had a kind of heroic spirit just now, but now he didn't have these heroic spirit. He was almost scared to cry. As soon as his legs were soft, he knelt up and said, "the senior general spared his life. The villain was just confused for a moment and didn't know how to capture Dengzhou city."

What he said is actually very funny. You know, Dengzhou city is a famous city in the world. It was attacked by a group of hooligans unknowingly. In fact, it was a slap in the face of the officials and troops, but Liu Bu knew what was going on, so he was not surprised.

But the others were very angry, very angry, thinking that the other party was still sophistry and begging for mercy at this time, and scolded him one after another.

Liu Bu knew that most of Zhang Er Gou was instigated or incited by the people around his father to set off a civil commotion.

But one thing is certain, that is, this Dengzhou civil uprising was planned by his father, and these people who were pushed out of the table were basically the ghosts who were pushed out by him.

Since they are all for the dead and used by others, Liu Bu doesn't need to escort him to Beijing. He is formally punished and executed late. No matter how cruel Liu Bu is, there are still some bottom lines in his heart, that is, killing people as soon as they are killed, and it's not a good behavior to torture people by cutting people thousands of knives, so he said: "Bold maniac! I dare to argue in front of the general. Someone will kill me."

Liu Bu easily ordered Zhang Ergou to be executed, which surprised many people. His deputy general Liu Kang also said: "the general can't be used. This man is the first criminal of the civil uprising. He should be escorted to Beijing and punished openly."

Liu Bu said, "why not? You know, there are hundreds of thousands of mobs near Dengzhou. There are only 4000 people in our army. Only by killing this person and hanging his head on the wall, these mobs will naturally disperse. This is called snake without head."

Liu Bu's doing so is somewhat far fetched, but now, as the only person in Dengzhou who holds military power, he has the decision-making power and all the rights of the whole people. He insists on doing so, and others can't help him, and he thinks it's reasonable.

After all, Liu Bu's worry is not unreasonable. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of people in this civil commotion, but there are only thousands of officers and soldiers. Thousands of people face 100000. If the other party rushes in with all his strength, one mouthful of saliva can drown thousands of people. If the other party's leader is killed, it is estimated that the other party can be scared and lost.

So Liu Bu ordered his own soldiers to cut off Zhang Ergou's head with a big knife, and then directly shouted, "take it to the city gate and hang it in public. Zhang Ergou is dead. If the mob doesn't surrender, all will be executed and none will be left."

They have caught Zhang Ergou and executed him successfully, so they sent countless publicity teams to the city to publicize and shout loudly, asking these mobs to surrender quickly and not to confront the officers and soldiers. If they confront, they will all be executed. This is Liu Bu's compassion. After all, he doesn't want to do such a thing as a Dengzhou massacre.

The cause of this civil commotion must also be that the government collected taxes and forced too hard to arouse the civil commotion. This is also a big outbreak of public resentment. Since there will be a period of recession after the outbreak of public resentment, if the Liu family takes advantage of this period of recession, it can make the local quickly move towards stability.

After the Wuqiao mutiny in Dengzhou, talents have withered and sparsely populated. If there is another Dengzhou massacre, there will be no people in Dengzhou. Therefore, Liu Bu's meaning is to only kill the first offender and let bygones be bygones.

Liu Bu spoke out these ideas, though the gentlemen were not happy about it, but they listened to him. After all, the army was in the hands of Liu Bu, and the knife was in his hands. He has the final say.

Liu bu also gave them enough face. Although he had the military power and the right to make an immediate decision, he still said this paragraph to everyone in a consultative tone, which made everyone feel good. He praised the young general and the style of a famous general one after another, just like Qi Shaobao in those years.

Qi Jiguang is one of the famous people in Dengzhou and a thunderous figure in Dengzhou city. Liu bu also shows great respect to Qi Jiguang. He knows that their Liu family is completely successful this time. Even if his father can't successfully plan to become governor of Denglai, their Liu family's rights in Denglai area are invincible and unmatched.

Just as Liu Bu was about to order the army to continue to strengthen the suppression, his own soldiers came the news and said, "the master's motorcade has arrived ten miles outside the city. The general went to meet him quickly."

Calculate the time, it should be his father's grand debut.
