Chapter 835 The bottom line of people

Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou and others were ordered to command the army and serve as the gateway to the capital. Their importance can be called the pillar of the country. They are generals and can also be the kind of talents of generals. However, they are in a proper manner and will never leave room for doing things like Zhu Xieyuan.

Like them, public is public and private is private. Fighting for the sake of the world is their duty as ministers, but if they want to massacre prisoners of war from the Chinese army and the two sides are incompatible, they really can't do such a thing.

Even if they don’t think about themselves, they must think about their family and descendants.

Of course, they had these ideas, because the Chinese army was powerful and it was very likely to take over the Ming Dynasty and seize the world.

If the other party was just a group of bandits, Hong Chengchou would not be ruthless in killing them. For example, when Hong Chengchou suppressed bandits in Shaanxi, he was never ruthless in killing bandits. Once he caught these rebel bandits, he would never be ruthless in killing bandits. Once he caught these rebel bandits, he would always chop off his head and kill them all, leaving no one left behind.

Now that the Chinese army is in great power and there are many places to control, he dare not use this method. It has to be said that he has already received news that the general of the Chinese army, Xiao Ning, has led his troops to Fujian, and even his hometown is under the control of the other party.

Xiao Ning had the demeanor that a general should have. He did not detain or make things difficult for his family, but let the people in his family still live in the local area. As long as he did not engage in anti-China army affairs, the other party would not pursue the matter.

Of course, this is also an attitude. If Hong Chengchou did nothing, the Chinese army would kill all the Hong family members of Yingdu without hesitation.

Hong Chengchou also came up with a solution and sent his elite personal soldiers to pick up his family. However, after his personal soldiers went there, they found that this was very difficult, because although the other party was not in a dilemma, they were also secretly monitoring it. Once they took action, the action was not secret and the news leaked, it was estimated that none of the Hong family could survive.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou could only let it go and take one step at a time.

Yang Sichang's situation is similar. His hometown is under the military command of the Chinese army. It is only a matter of one word to make things difficult for him, and he dare not do anything.

There are few people as extraordinary as Zhu Xieyuan. Zhu Xieyuan is from Shanyin, Shaoxing Prefecture, Chengxuan Zhengzhengsi, Zhejiang. Now his hometown is under the control of the Chinese army. Even the prefect of Shaoxing has surrendered to him. The relatives of his hometown are under the control of the Chinese army, but he still slashed and killed prisoners of the Chinese Empire without any scruples, which completely angered the senior leaders of the Chinese army.

The senior leaders of the Chinese Army did not talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. They immediately sent troops into Shaoxing to conduct a large-scale search of Zhu Xieyuan's relatives, and arrested all of them within the ten clans.

These ten clans naturally refer to the student clan, which proves that the Chinese army was extremely angry about the massacre of their prisoners of war, otherwise they would rarely take such measures.

When the Chinese army soldiers entered Shaoxing Prefecture, the local people were still very angry. They all walked on the streets and shouted the slogan of protecting the Zhu family. Zhu Xieyuan was the God of War in the South Heaven. In order to protect the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, he worked hard for more than ten years and had a very high prestige in the local area. It can be said that the local gentry leader was the leader.

When the Chinese army sent troops to arrest the Zhu family, the local people and residents came up to protect them. This is the best statement, but the Chinese army did not ruthlessly. The leader of the Chinese army said a harsh statement in public: "After the order to kill the ten clans of Zhu Xieyuan, it is better to kill a thousand people in vain than to let one person escape the net. If there is a stop, kill them will not be punished."

The person in charge of leading the army was Mao Shengfeng, Mao Shengfeng, who was in charge of the defeat of their Qingzhou division. They hated the entire army and were furious. They would personally lead their 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 "whoever follows me will prosper and those who go against me will perish."

It is because of this policy that all those who are hostile to them are timid and dare not let go when doing many things. There are not many people like Zhu Xieyuan. Even the senior leaders of the Chinese Army expressed respect for such people, but respect does not mean that they appreciate it, nor does it mean that they recognize such people. This is their biggest enemy, and they must be ruthlessly annihilated and eradicated ruthlessly.

Just like Emperor Taizu Gao of that year, those who opposed them would die, and their descendants would have to be demoted to untouchables and would never turn over.

When Mao Shengfeng shouted such a slogan and shot and killed the people who blocked them mercilessly, the local people and residents realized that they were afraid and left to avoid them.

The tragic incident in Shanyin, Shaoxing caused a sensation in the world. Zhu Xieyuan became the second person who was killed in the ten clans since his death, which made Hong Chengchou and others very afraid of it. They knew the bottom line of the Chinese army.

The senior generals of the Chinese Army still have a certain demeanor. For example, they fought with Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, and they suffered a lot of losses and suffered defeats. However, they never thought of taking revenge on the other party's family, nor did they kill prisoners in large quantities in revenge. They believed that fighting back and forth on the battlefield was normal.

As the saying goes, each of them is his own master, but the soldiers have been captured and ruthlessly killed, building Jingguan and abandoning the river. This practice greatly aroused the anger of the Chinese Empire.

Once the Huaxia Empire gets angry, the consequences will be extremely serious. In this way, they can understand the bottom line of the Huaxia Empire, so they use ordinary methods to deal with it. This is to fight, and each war is to be their own masters.

Even the slogans of storming the attack on Shandong and killing all Liu Zhe was actually the eunuch Xu sent the Jinyiwei to promote it in the army.

These senior generals were silent, without public support, and had no public opposition. Even when others forced them to the corner to ask, they could only say: "This is the king's order, and I have to do it."

With such an attitude, the Chinese army would not make things difficult for them. There are only some people who are incompatible with the Chinese army, and the real majority still want to survive.

The emperor didn't know about this situation, and his soldiers still had a certain morale, but for these senior generals, there were not many who were really willing to fight the Chinese army to the death.

But he had no choice. Even if he wanted to change, there were not so many senior generals to replace him.

So what if Hong Chengchou didn't like it, but the Ming Dynasty couldn't come up with a few people who could defeat them. The two of them were still available and were all organized and prepared to retake Shandong.

However, they all put forward a requirement and condition, that is, the money and grain raised before the New Year are only enough to maintain the current use. If a larger offensive is to be launched, more money and grain will be needed. They have no way to raise these money and grain in Baoding and Tianjin Wei, and hope that the court will allocate them to them.

Their attitude is now very obvious. If they don’t have enough money and food, they will not be able to send troops to attack Shandong, because the soldiers are not full of food and how can they fight? They have no military pay, so how can they work hard? They force the army to go, but before they reach Shandong, I guess I will collapse.

Emperor Chongzhen is no longer naive. He will not think that soldiers can fight for their wars with loyalty to the emperor and the country as before. Now he at least knows that soldiers need to eat enough to fight, and they need money to make up for it when fighting. With these things, soldiers can fight, so he authorized Eunuch Xu to try his best to get enough military pay. As for how this money comes, he really doesn't care.

Not only did he not care, but even Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others didn’t care. Even if Eunuch Xu used ruthless means and bloody means to get the money, as long as I dared to get it, I would dare to use it.

As for whether eunuch Xu’s fate will be worse than Liu Jin, it’s nothing to do with them.

In the past few hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, several eunuchs with great power appeared, such as Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, etc., but the one who died the most was Liu Jin. This was because Liu Jin did nothing and offended everyone. He would only be cut into pieces after he lost power. Although the other eunuchs had done all the bad things, they still had a way out. Although they were dead, they would not be cut into pieces.

Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang and others did not have such courage. They were orthodox scholars and officials who were in good faith in their work and were inclusive. Only in this way could they satisfy all parties, and this balance is also all the qualities that the commander possessed.

This kind of thing is considered to be my own consideration. In the future, the ten clans will not be killed like Zhu Xieyuan.

Emperor Chongzhen was dissatisfied, but there was no way. He had no better people to replace these generals, so he summoned many old ministers to let them come out to help him pacify the world. However, the market conditions of the Ming Dynasty are falling now. Although many old ministers have received the imperial edict, they refuse to be summoned?

The Emperor Sun, who was recently in Gaoyang, Hebei, immediately expressed his willingness to come out of the mountain and came to the capital to help him with his 75-year-old body.

However, he was sick and could not come. He had to recover from the illness before he could come to fight for the emperor.

But this made the emperor suspect that you were so sick that you could not move. What’s the use of coming to the capital? Where should you give you a position? You can’t fight a high-ranking official and generous salary. You can’t even fight, and you still have to occupy a pit and don’t poop. What’s the use of this?
