Chapter 847

Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou were ordered to command the army and become the gateway of the capital. Their importance can be called the pillar of the country. They are generals and can also be the kind of talents as generals. However, they do things according to the rules and will never leave room for things like Zhu Xieyuan.

Like them, public is public and private is private. It is their duty to fight for the bright world. However, if they want to massacre the prisoners of war of the Chinese army, the two sides are irreconcilable. They really can't do such a thing.

Even if they don't think about themselves, they must think about their families and future generations.

Of course, they have these ideas. This is because the Chinese army is powerful and is likely to replace the Ming Dynasty and seize the world.

If the other party is just a group of bandits, Hong Chengchou is not soft on killing them. For example, when Hong Chengchou suppressed bandits in Shaanxi, he never soft on killing bandits. Once he caught these rebellious bandits, he always cut off his head and killed all of them without leaving any.

Now that the Chinese army is powerful and controls many places, he dare not use this method. I have to say that he has already received the news. Xiao Ning, a senior general of the Chinese army, has led his troops into Fujian, and even his hometown is under the control of the other party.

Xiao Ning has the demeanor of a senior general. Instead of detaining or embarrassing his family, he lets his family still live in the local area. As long as he does not engage in anti Chinese Army affairs, the other party will not be investigated.

Of course, this is also an attitude. If Hong Chengchou does everything, the Chinese army will not hesitate to kill all the Hongs in Yingdu.

Hong Chengchou also came up with a way to send his elite personal soldiers to pick up his family. However, after his personal soldiers went to pick up his family, they found that it was very difficult, because although the other party was not in a clear dilemma, they were also secretly watching. Once they started, their actions were not secret, and the news leaked. It is estimated that none of the Hong family can survive.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou can only let it go and see it step by step.

Yang Sichang's situation was similar. His hometown was also under the military front of the Chinese army. It was a matter of one word to embarrass him, and he didn't dare to do it.

Few people are as unique as Zhu Xieyuan. Zhu Xieyuan is a Yin from Fushan, Shaoxing, which is the political envoy of Zhejiang Province. Now his hometown is under the control of the Chinese army. Even the Shaoxing magistrate has taken refuge. His relatives in his hometown are under the control of the Chinese army, but he still has no scruples about slashing and killing the prisoners of the Chinese Empire, This also completely angered the senior level of the Chinese army.

The top echelons of the Chinese army did not speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality. They immediately sent troops into Shaoxing to search and arrest Zhu Xieyuan's relatives, all within the ten families.

These ten ethnic groups naturally refer to the students, which also proves that the Chinese army is extremely angry about the slaughter of their prisoners of war, otherwise they would rarely take such measures.

When the soldiers of the Chinese army entered Shaoxing Prefecture, the local people were still very angry. They took to the streets together and shouted the slogan of protecting the Zhu family. Zhu Xieyuan was the God of war in the southern sky. In order to protect the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, they worked hard for more than ten years and had a high prestige in the local area. It can be said that the local gentry leaders.

When the Chinese army sent troops to capture the Zhu family, the local people and residents stood up to protect them. This is the best saying, but the Chinese army was not soft hearted. The leader of the Chinese army said a cruel word in public: "it is better to kill thousands of Zhu Xieyuan's ten families in vain than to make one person miss the net. Those who block will be killed."

It was Mao Shengfeng, Mao Shengli's cousin, who was in charge of leading the army. They hated the annihilation of their Qingzhou division and were furious. They would personally lead the troops to execute the Zhu family.

This is also the consistent practice of the Chinese Empire. All hostile people will be ruthlessly executed by them. This is the continuation of the policy of those who follow us will prosper and those who oppose us will die.

It is because of this policy that all those who are hostile to them are timid and dare not let go in doing many things. There are not many people like Zhu Xieyuan. Even the top leaders of the Chinese army show respect, but respect does not mean that they appreciate or recognize such people. This is their biggest enemy, It must be ruthlessly annihilated and eradicated.

Just like emperor Gao, the great ancestor of that year, those who oppose them must die, and their descendants must be demoted to Dalits and never turn over.

When Mao Shengfeng shouted such slogans and mercilessly shot and killed the people who stopped them, the local people and residents knew they were afraid and fled one after another.

The Shanyin massacre in Shaoxing caused a sensation all over the world. Zhu Xieyuan became the second person of ten ethnic groups to be killed in history, which also made Hong Chengchou and others afraid. They knew the bottom line of the Chinese army.

The high-level generals of the Chinese army still have a certain demeanor. For example, they fought with Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou. They both suffered a lot of losses and lost the war. However, they never wanted to retaliate against each other's family, nor did they kill prisoners on a large scale. They think it's normal for you to fight on the battlefield.

As the saying goes, each has his own master, but the soldiers have been captured and ruthlessly killed. They built the Beijing Temple and abandoned the river. This has greatly aroused the anger of the Chinese Empire.

Once the Chinese Empire gets angry, the consequences will be extremely serious. In this way, they know the bottom line of the Chinese Empire, so they use ordinary methods to deal with it. This is war, that is, war is their own.

Even the slogan of attacking Shandong and killing all Liu thieves was actually sent by eunuch Xu to the royal guards to publicize in the army.

These high-ranking generals were silent, without public support or public opposition. Even when others forced them into a corner to ask, they could only say: "this is the king's order, and we have to do it."

With this attitude, the Chinese army will not embarrass them. They are at odds with the Chinese army. Only some people, the real majority, still want to live.

The emperor did not know the situation. His soldiers still had a certain morale, but few of his senior generals really wanted to fight with the Chinese army.

But he has no way. Even if he wants to change, he doesn't have so many senior generals to replace.

What if Hong Chengchou was unhappy, but the Ming Dynasty couldn't find a few people who could win them. They were still available. They were also carefully organizing wars and preparing to recapture Shandong.

However, they all put forward a requirement and condition, that is, the money and food raised years ago is only enough to maintain the current use. If they want to launch a larger-scale offensive, they need more money and food. They have no way to raise these money and food in Baoding and Tianjin Wei. They hope the imperial court will allocate them.

Now their attitude is very obvious. If they don't have enough money and food, they can't send troops to attack Shandong, because soldiers don't have enough to eat, how to fight, and how to work hard without pay? Force the army to go. I guess I collapsed before I reached Shandong.

Today's emperor Chongzhen is no longer naive. He doesn't think that as long as soldiers serve the country with loyalty to the king, they can fight for them desperately. Now he at least knows that soldiers need to eat enough to fight, and bleeding desperately needs silver to make up for it. With these things, soldiers can fight, so he authorizes eunuch Xu, Let him do everything possible to get enough military pay. As for how the money came from, he really didn't care.

Not only did he not care, but even Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others did not care. Even if eunuch Xu used cruel and bloody means to get the silver, as long as he dared to get it, I would dare to use it.

As for whether the fate of eunuch Xu will be worse than that of Liu Jin, it's none of their business.

In the past few hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there have been several powerful eunuchs, such as Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, etc., but the most tragic death is Liu Jin. This is because Liu Jin did everything, spared no room, offended everyone, and was cut by thousands of knives after he lost power. Although the other eunuchs did all the bad things, they still have a way to go, Although it is also a dead end, it will not be cut by thousands of knives.

Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others do not have such courage. They are orthodox scholar bureaucrats. They pay attention to harmony and everything. Only in this way can all parties be satisfied. This balance is all the qualities of the commander.

Such practices are also considered for their own sake. In the future, like Zhu Xieyuan, there will be no return, and the ten ethnic groups will be killed.

Emperor Chongzhen was dissatisfied, but there was no way. He didn't have a better person to replace these generals, so he called many old ministers and let them go out of the mountain to help him calm the world. But now the market of Daming has fallen. Although many old ministers received the imperial edict, they refused to be called?

After receiving the imperial edict, sun Di Shi, who was near Gaoyang, Hebei Province, immediately expressed his willingness to go out of the mountain and come to the capital to help him with boxing at the age of 75.

However, he was ill and couldn't come. He had to get well before he could fight for the emperor.

But this made the emperor doubt that you are too ill to move. What's the use of coming to the capital, what position to give you, high officials and high salaries, no war, and no shit in the pit?

The Ming Dynasty selected scholars from the Ming Sutra and trained so many excellent talents every three years. However, many of them are old, which makes the court into a place where no one can use them. It's really embarrassing.
