Chapter 654 The fourth child is here(1/2)
"You all listen carefully. I will say it one last time. Those who abandon their weapons and kneel down will avoid death!" Yuzhu was not a murderer after all. Before taking action, he still gave these people a way to survive.
He lost his weapon and surrendered. With Kangxi's temper in his later years, he probably just killed the culprit without taking responsibility for others.
The officers and soldiers have come, but they still don't surrender their weapons. This is extremely serious.
As the old saying goes, no matter how hard the hearts of the people are, you must still fear the government and the law.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Taiwanese producers were afraid of foreigners, and ordinary people were afraid of Taiwanese, forming a complete food chain. As a result, concessions in various places also enjoyed extraterritoriality.
The patriarch of the Bai family, named Bai Jingye, saw that the situation was not going well. He quickly stood up, knelt down at the front of the crowd, and asked in a trembling voice: "Please be brave enough to ask me which yamen master you are?"
Niu Tai is the commander-in-chief of the front line. After hearing this, he immediately said with a straight face and extremely serious: "My lord is the acting general of Xi'an and governor of Shaanxi, Yu Gongbao."
"Ah..." Bai Jingye softened up on the spot and collapsed on the ground.
In the past, when Bai and Lu fought for water, the army would come to suppress them.
However, the government's calculation is that the fiercer the fight between Bai and Lu, the better. It would be better if both sides lose.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers came very late every time, almost after the fighting was over.
Moreover, most of the generals who lead the troops are low-level officers such as guerrillas or garrison officers.
Unexpectedly, the two surnames fighting for water today actually alarmed the local emperor in Shaanxi.
Although Bai Jingye had no fame, he had attended private school for several years. Otherwise, it would not have been his turn to be the clan leader.
"The common people deserve to die. I didn't know that Lord Zhongcheng was coming. Please forgive me." Bai Jingye followed the old routine and knelt down in public, waiting for Yuzhu to show his tenderness.
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu ordered, "Here comes someone, tied up."
"Why?" Bai Chengru, Bai Jingye's eldest son, became furious when he heard this. Isn't this going astray?
Bai Chengru stepped forward angrily, holding a machete in his hand.
Niutai is a kid who is least afraid of being mischievous.
Without saying a word, he took off Sauron's five-stone bow hanging on the saddle, nocked an arrow and shot.
"Whoosh." After the crisp sound of the bowstring, Bai Chengru was hit by an arrow in the throat and fell straight into a pool of blood. There was no need to look, he must have been dead.
"Why? Just for this, do you understand?" Niu Tai raised his chin high and shouted sternly, "Listen up, you bastards. If you don't kneel down and apologize, we will kill you all!"
"Everyone pay attention, listen to my command, raise your gun, aim, and squat half in the first row." Niu Tai also became angry and prepared to order the massacre.
This group of guys in front of me, relying on the fact that they have something to do, are not even afraid of the officers and soldiers. Is that any wonder?
One of Bai Jingye's sons died, and his heart was as painful as a knife. However, he knew better than anyone else that if he did not surrender, all the people with the surname Bai would die.
"Throw the things in your hands, hurry up, throw the things in your hands, kneel down, kneel down." Bai Jingye turned to urge his strong men.
Nearly a hundred meters away, Bai Chengru was shot through the throat with an arrow by the general of the army. This was really shocking.
Under Bai Jingye's urging, the men surnamed Bai threw away the things in their hands and knelt on the ground.
Yuzhu nodded secretly. Although he couldn't call Bai Jingye's name, he could tell that this person was quite prestigious in the clan.
However, Yuzhu had other plans, so he remained silent for the time being.
The people with the surname Lu over there were all convinced when they saw the people with the surname Bai. They also obediently dropped what they were doing and knelt down.
There is no way, there are too many officers and soldiers, and as long as a fight starts, it will be the doom of annihilation!
Seeing that the people trying to grab the water were all subdued, Niu Tai gave the unequivocal order to kidnap them.
"Why should I be tied up?" Some people knelt down but refused to be tied up.
The leader of the shed, no nonsense at all, just stabbed with his gun.
"Pfft." The sharp military thorn pierced deeply into the man's belly, making an unusual sound that leaked out the air.
"Ah..." The man screamed and fell into a pool of blood.
The shed director stepped on the bleeding abdomen of the man who fell to the ground, and forcefully pulled out the military spike on the tip of the gun.
When stabbing someone with a bayonet, the most fearful thing is that it will penetrate into the bone seam with too much force.
If that's the case, you can't sway left and right to withdraw the gun, but you have to step on the opponent's body to figure out how to insert it and how to pull it out.
In this way, the spur will not be broken.
"Hmph, if you want to die, just imitate him." The shed leader held up his rifle with blood dripping from the blade and glanced around coldly.
These days, gangsters have always been afraid of swordsmen, swordsmen are afraid of those who are desperate for their lives, and those who are desperate for their lives are afraid of large numbers of officers and soldiers.
With Yuzhu, the native emperor of Shaanxi, in charge, during the process of the government and army suppressing the rebellion, those who were killed died in vain, without even a place to redress their grievances.
About an hour later, thousands of people who participated in the fight for water were all tied up.
At this time, the magistrate of Lantian County, Shanshan, arrived late.
"Zhang Haogu, the magistrate of Lantian County, holds a humble position and meets the Jade Palace Protector."
There was a huge difference in status, so Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to him and went straight to give orders.
"Come here, take off Zhang Haogu's crown and tell him to go back and listen to the ginseng!"
According to the official system of the Qing Dynasty, Yuzhu had no right to directly remove Zhang Haogu, the county magistrate. The so-called removal of Dingdai was just a temporary suspension for inspection.
When the old emperor sent a letter from the court and approved Yuzhu's bullet, then he was officially dismissed from office.
With such a big incident happening in Lantian County, Zhang Haogu, the county magistrate, will definitely not be able to keep his hat on.
However, Zhang Haogu was a serious county magistrate after all, and Yuzhu could not kill him casually.
In some places, in order to protect their own people, they deliberately only give the punishment of expulsion from the organization for clearly committing a crime. In fact, it is the same thing but the same purpose.
Yuzhu is neither a born executioner nor a soft-hearted person.
Now that we have sent troops to quell the rebellion, we must find the culprit.
In the past, the experience of suppressing bandits in western Hunan told Yuzhu that as long as the ringleaders were let go, it wouldn't be long before they would pull up a team of bandits and fight with the government troops in the ravines.
The logic is not complicated.
These criminals have already tasted the great benefits of getting something for nothing, how can they willingly dig food from the ground?
In later generations, the proportion of people released from prison who committed crimes again was actually surprisingly high.
Therefore, the police's daily crime prevention and control work focuses on understanding the situation of persons released from prison.
The guy wearing cotton armor was quickly identified and brought to Yuzhu.
"Tell me, how did Mianjia come here?"
"Bought."
"Who did you buy it from?"
"Bought it from Mr. Luying in the provincial capital."
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know him, I just bumped into him by chance."
When Yuzhu heard this, he didn't bother to ask, and said calmly: "Niutai, I leave it to you, don't let him die."
"Hey." Niu Tai accepted the order very excitedly, rubbed his hands and went down.
Yuzhu stayed on Bailuyuan for five days.
In these five days, Yuzhu found out all the powerful people in the Bai and Lu families.
The clan leaders, clan elders, and various small bosses were all taken into prison.
There is only one result waiting for them, and that is losing their heads!
Yuzhu had been a local leader, and he knew very well that the huge clan power in the local area was actually a huge cancer and must be eradicated.
This time, taking advantage of Mianjia's rebellion, Yuzhu wiped out a big cancer near the provincial capital.
Unlike all officials of this era, Yuzhu did not care about the so-called law not punishing the public, and adopted the strategy of sweeping holes and plowing the court.
Kill all the big and small bosses who take the lead in grabbing water, and then the remaining people can live peacefully.
How did Zeng get the notoriety of having his head shaved?
After Zeng Guoquan captured Anqing, under Zeng Guofan's instruction, he killed all the more than 10,000 long-haired people in the city, leaving nothing behind.
In addition, Zeng Guoquan massacred Jiangning City with blood, and it was Zeng Guofan who wrote a letter asking him to do so.
Tigers in general rarely eat humans.
Once a tiger eats a human, it will find that human resistance is weakened and it will transform into a man-eating tiger!
Zeng Guofan advocated the massacre of long hairs because he wanted to dig out the roots of long hairs spreading widely again.
In Zeng Guofan's eyes, the Changmao Uprising was an evil heresy, completely intolerable and must be exterminated!
The same logic was actually learned by Li Hefei without the essence.
Famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty and the resurgence of the Qing Dynasty, including Zuo Gong Jigao, all had their acts of killing and surrendering. This was actually not accidental, but inevitable.
Just because of these four words, evil heresy!
