I took three visits to the cottage, but I killed someone in just two times?

Lu Si made it clear that he had slaughtered and uprooted it, and he was quite impatient to ask Zhu Tinghan to do it immediately.

He has done his best.

Xie Sheng was used because he was a Grand Secretary of the Chongzhen Dynasty and had a certain influence in the north. He could help the Huai Army to attract the hearts of former Ming officials and gentry.

But if you don’t need this person, at most you will increase the difficulty of recruiting, and the rest will not have any impact.

The current situation is, to put it bluntly, who will be sharp and who will speak tough.

The fact that a few prominent people join the Huai Army camp was only to make the "bandits" in the eyes of the officials and gentry of the Huai Army turn into a righteous army, which has a certain legality and confusion.

If you want to have other effects, it will be less important. After all, the halo of destiny has disappeared due to Li Zicheng's withdrawal from Beijing.

Zhu Tinghan was a little glad that he was useless and the governor spoke up and took the initiative to express his surrender.

This former magistrate of Licheng in the Ming Dynasty was also beautiful when doing things. He knew the principle that killing people must be punished. So after he led his troops to Deping, he first surrounded Xiejiazhuang, and released the tenants who were not the slaves of Xie's family. All the rest chopped and killed in front of Xie Sheng.

Finally, it was probably because Xie Bi in Texas was not killed, and none of the other people, including Xie Bi's children and grandchildren, were arrested.

It is a pity that the white-haired Xie Sheng-man was still in Dezhou with the former Ming Censor Lu Shijie. The chief officer of Cheng Xianzhen and others discussed how to cover up their previous murder of officials of the Shun regime.

However, something strange happened that no one expected.

Looking at the corpses from the Xie family, the person involved, Mr. Xie, had a "good death".

How strange.

"Dead? How is that possible?"

Zhu Tinghan was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Zhu Tinghan, who repeatedly searched his breath to confirm that Grand Secretary Xie was really dead, couldn't help but feel lonely. You must know that in the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no Grand Secretary died at the hands of the magistrate.

Therefore, if Xie Sheng died at the hands of him, Zhu Tinghan, he, Zhu, would create this history and leave his name in history.

What a pity, what a pity.

Then he thought, who would know if he didn't say this?

So, Zhu Tinghan personally took the sword to Mr. Xie and roared: "Thief, I was killed by millions of creatures in Manchuria to take the head of the head!"

After finishing, Zhu Tinghan asked the tenants of the Xie family to load the money and grain from the village into the cart to Dezhou. When he left, he took out all the Xie family land deeds and burned them in front of the tenants.

This burning made hundreds of tenants from the Xie family happy.

I originally wanted to burn the Xiejiazhuang with a torch, but it was obvious that the Xiejia houses were all good, and when the tenants were poor, Zhu Tinghan actually made good intentions and asked the tenants to go to the Xiejia to get the available items.

In half a day, the century-old house was dismantled by the people. Not to mention the furniture inside, even the windows were stripped naked.

After another half a month, the bricks and stones on the foundation were also called empty.

When he returned to Dezhou, Zhu Tinghan happened to meet Governor Lu summoned Zhou Zuoding, the magistrate of Xintai County. Among the crowd were the former Ming gentry who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Dezhou, and Xie Sheng's younger brother Xie Bi was also among them.

After looking at Xie Bi, Zhu Tinghan walked to the crowd calmly.

Lu Si also saw Zhu Tinghan, nodded at him, and then suddenly pointed at Xie Bi, Lu Shijie and others to ask Zhou Zuoding how to deal with them.

This question surprised Lu Shijie, Cheng Xianzhen and others: What does this mean?

Zhou Zuoding also had the reputation of the Ming Dynasty Juren, but after the Dashun Army arrived in Xintai, he led the villagers to actively support the Dashun regime, so he was appointed as the county magistrate by the Beijing official government. The moral integrity and solar terms he showed since then were truly respectful.

Since Zhou Zuoding was also a former Ming official and gentry, Lu Si wanted to hear his opinions.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zuoding looked at the group of people and snorted slightly: "The governor doesn't ask me, I don't say anything. Since I asked me, I'll say it bluntly. In my opinion, it's better for these people to get cheated."

"Um?"

Lu Si was stunned: Zhou County Magistrate, are you trying to make this governor a public enemy of the gentry in the north?

“Bad talk!”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Don't listen to this person's words. The surname Zhou has a bad intention and is vicious."

""

Xie Bi, Lu Shijie and other gangs of officials and gentry called Zhou Zuoding were so shocked that they were almost flying, and then they all started to curse.

Lu Si turned his head and looked at the group of people, and suddenly he was silent.

"Why did Jinan Prefecture give me this advice? Let's talk about the reasons." Lu Si wanted to know what Zhou Zuoding thought, so he gave him such a "bad idea".

"Not only these people are repetitive people, and they are not a villain!"

Zhou Zuoding immediately told Xie Bi and others about the persecution of Dashun officials in various places when they "rebelled". Every time they said something, they became more angry. Xie Bi and others became more frightened and panicked as they listened.

“I know what they have done before.”

Lu Si really had no intention of killing these officials and gentry who surrendered, because the consequences of doing so were really not good for the Huai Army, even if the actions these people had done before were enough to kill ten times.

But the current situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty is here, and some things cannot be done casually.

It doesn’t matter if you kill one Xie Sheng, but if you kill thousands of Xie Sheng, you will be in trouble.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Zhou Zuoding as soon as he said something and asked him: "Since the governor knows, what are you still keeping them for?"

"this"

Lu Si was about to say that he was interrupted by Zhou Zuoding again.

This Xintai's strength is really a strength.

"Is the governor trying to use them to attract the hearts of the people?"

"Ah, right."

Lu Si nodded. If it weren't for the sake of the people, he would have had an operation long ago.

"Pooh!"

Zhou Zuoding spat at the group of former Ming gentry who dared not speak out, and said hatefully: "What are the people's hearts? But a group of corrupt officials who came to surrender to Shun and Qing dynasties!"

After saying that, he asked Lu Si loudly: "Since the Governor is a man of Dashun, I want to ask the Governor, Dashun is originally a pool of clear water, why do you have to introduce these dirty streams? If the Governor uses them, how can you get rid of people like me who are loyal to Dashun? Are we not the people's hearts!"

Lu Si was shocked when he heard this. Yes, he wanted to use all the former Ming gentry. What do the rest of the Shun regime officials who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty think and what do you think?

When the Qing army killed the officials of Dashun, they opened the city to surrender as soon as they arrived. Not only did they not punish them, they also wanted to use them to attract the so-called northern people. They thought they were clever, but they did not know that this move would make the anti-Qing soldiers and people who were originally their own camp feel disappointed.

On the books, there were many officials and gentry surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and few officials and gentry resisting the Qing Dynasty. But internally, these officials and gentry resisting the Qing Dynasty were the basic foundation of Lu Si, and the existence that Lu Si needed to vigorously win over.

Zhou Zuoding’s metaphor is very good. A pool of clear water attracts countless turbid currents. Will this pool of clear water still be clear water?

"In front of the great enemy in Manchuria, the first priority is not the vague hearts of the people, but the fact that the camp is stable and the hearts of the people are united. Only in this way can the military and civilians unite and fight against the enemy together. Otherwise, the hearts of the people must be different. How could these people really serve me in great harmony?"

"No need to say anything about Jinan Prefecture. I understand, I understand completely."

Lu Si waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Zuoding, and then looked at Qi Bao on the side. Qi Bao raised his hand, and the soldiers immediately pressed Xie Bi, Lu Shijie, Cheng Xianzhen and dozens of former Ming officials and gentry, which scared them so much that they were weak and they all shouted for injustice.

"It's a trick!"

The two words Lu Si spit out made half of the former Ming officials and gentry collapse on the ground, like mud.

Zhu Tinghan once again acted as the executioner. When Xie Bi was dragged to the pit, he said to Xie Student with pride: "Your eggs are broken."
