Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 685
After Zhang Juzheng said this, Xu Ying was a little speechless.

At this time, he was extremely regretful, why did he embezzle so much food and military equipment in Jinling in a flash of his head.

If he followed Daming's rules, it would not be an exaggeration for him to punish the Nine Clans. Wang Jing ordered that he be held accountable only if he had no connection with the relevant personnel, which is indeed a kindness.

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, the soldiers immediately speeded up and escorted all these people away.

Since the Jingzhao Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department had already done intelligence work before they ransacked their homes and seized people, they found out the crimes of these people.

Therefore, there is no need to escort them to the prison for interrogation, and those who should be killed are directly sent to the execution ground outside the city.

When many people in the city knew that the government had swept up the whole city and captured all those who committed crimes and oppressed the people and were about to question them,
There was a sudden commotion, and a large number of people and scholars braved the rain to leave the city and surrounded the execution ground tightly.

If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the execution ground to form a human wall, the suburbs where the execution ground is located could be submerged.

Soon, Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zongxian, and the supervisory censors from the inspection province arrived one after another.

Among them, Hu Zongxian was the supervisor and beheader, and the supervisor was recording the process, while Zhang Juzheng restrained his breath and just stood by.

In addition to the three chief officers, there are executioners, the clerks of the Ministry of Punishment, and the elite soldiers who guard the execution ground and maintain the order of the execution ground.

When the first batch of criminals were brought up.

Those people who were clamoring to watch the excitement shut their mouths one after another, and the atmosphere in the execution ground became a little tense. Except for the prisoner who was dragged to the execution ground and his mouth was gagged and making whining noises, no one dared to make a sound.

"My lord, the prisoner has already proven his integrity!"

A hundred households came forward to report, breaking the silence.

Hu Zongxian coughed lightly, his eyes swept over these prisoners,
The first batch of escorts were all young and strong, and some of them still had a sturdy aura and were full of energy.

If it is sent to the mines and road laborers, it can play a lot of value, but this time the cleanup is different from the previous ones, it must be serious and strict, and it must be dealt with quickly.

A waste of labor is a waste. Anyway, with the number of people under Daxia's rule, there is no shortage of people.It doesn’t have to be the same as before, even the man who committed a capital crime is not killed, but thrown into the mine to mine for atonement...

"The time has come, let's execute!"

Hu Zongxian ordered.

Immediately after he gave the order, the first batch of prisoners were escorted to the platform. The executioner held a guillotine and his eyes were full of evil spirits, ready for execution.

"kill!"

In order to execute the prisoners this time, the executioners in the Jingzhao Mansion were in short supply, so a lot of elite soldiers were specially transferred from the army. These elite soldiers raised the guillotine together with the executioner, and cut them off immediately after hearing the order.

Click!

The heads of the first group of hundreds of people were cut off by the guillotine, and blood gushed out. The people watching were suddenly silent, and many scholars' faces were also blue and white.

"Bring a second batch!"

The second group of criminals were brought out, and the bodies that had been beheaded just now were quickly carried away, leaving only a lot of blood on the high platform.

Seeing these bloodstains, the second batch of prisoners trembled all over, many of them had wet pants, strong fear welled up in their hearts, and they could not control their bodies.

At this time, no one cares about their emotions,
Just like when they oppressed the people, they never considered whether the people lived or died.

puff!A large amount of blood spewed out again, and the bloody smell on the execution ground became extremely strong, and the uncomfortable smell of blood and corpses spread in all directions.

Many people were no longer in the mood to watch the excitement, and began to vomit continuously, their faces turning pale.

But the matter is not over yet.

There is also a third batch, a fourth batch...the number of prisoners who were beheaded this time was 3000 to [-], and these were still the ones who were beheaded.

The execution and killing at the execution ground lasted for more than half a day. The drizzle mixed with the blood of the execution ground almost soaked the entire execution ground.

The people who were able to persevere until the end were already pale, and they felt incomparable awe of Daxia, the government, and the emperor who ordered people to be arrested and killed.

Even Hu Zongxian, who supervised the beheading, and the supervisory censor, their expressions changed slightly.

Only Zhang Juzheng, whose face is like a flat lake, has no waves at all.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng's expression suddenly moved slightly, and his eyes quickly swept across the crowd in the distance, locking on to two very handsome men.

"Zhang Juzheng found us!"

Ye Chen, who watched the excitement with Liu Bowen, is not a ninth-rank celebrity, but his spiritual strength is not weak either. After looking at Zhang Juzheng, he said to Liu Bowen.

"It's okay! We don't plan to do anything, so don't worry about him making a move!"

Liu Bowen responded with a calm expression.

While speaking, his eyes flicked across the execution ground, which was like a sea of ​​blood, and a strange color flashed across it. He could see that as the prisoners continued to be beheaded, the countless people watching were silent.

Their aura, at this time, began to quickly gather towards Daxia's aura...

"This time Emperor Xia ordered the beheading of thousands of people, which really frightened people. This seems to be incompatible with Emperor Xia's reputation of generosity and righteousness..."

Ye Chen sighed.

"As an emperor, of course, you can't just use kingly benevolence and righteousness. Emperor Xuan once said that the Han family has its own system, which is a combination of overlord's way! If Emperor Xia only knows generosity, benevolence and righteousness, I would not dare to go to him instead!"

Liu Bowen's tone was full of appreciation and approval.

He is not a rotten Confucian who reads stupidly, nor is he a pure civil servant who pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, but a military adviser and strategist who can assist one party's princes to achieve the emperor's career.

Such a person knows what means to rule the people in order to achieve the best results.

"What Bowen said makes sense... If you say that, brother Bowen has made up his mind?"

Ye Chen was silent for a while, then he reacted and asked.

"Not bad! When I go back to you, I will go to the recruitment hall to register..."

Liu Bowen said.

While the Great Xia Dynasty held the imperial examination to select scholars, the recruiting hall was not closed. Anyone with talent could go to the recruiting hall to sign up.However, as the imperial examination was on the right track, those who went to the recruitment hall were all capable people and strangers.

Either a Taoist who masters spells, or a doctor or craftsman who is proficient in medical skills...

As a scholar, Liu Bowen also wanted to take the right path of the imperial examination, but although the imperial examination was the right way, it wasted a lot of time. It would take two or three years for a scholar to start from scratch.

Unlike the first imperial examination at the time, you only had to take part in the general examination.You can be awarded an official after just one exam.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, should we visit Zhang Juzheng first and meet him formally?"

Ye Chen immediately agreed with a smile, and then made his own suggestion.

Liu Bowen waved his hand and said, "No need for now, we will talk about other things after we meet Emperor Xia!"

Liu Bowen, who was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, and who ended up badly because of factional struggles in the source world, really didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

when speaking.

The execution is also coming to an end.

Countless people who watched the killing also spread the news of the execution ground throughout Jinling City as quickly as possible.

This time it was not only the people of Jinling who were frightened, but even some of the civil servants and nobles who moved from Yangzhou and Sihong were also frightened.

The character Wang Jing has always shown is more talkative and generous.As long as the civil servants and generals under his command don't touch his bottom line, they won't kill people at will.

Over time, many civil servants and generals in the court, especially their family members, became a little relaxed.

They dare not do anything illegal on the surface, but there are many things they do secretly.

This time Wang Jing ordered that thousands of people be beheaded at once to clean up all the darkness in Jinling City, and the blood flowed like rivers.Affecting tens of thousands of people, the number of murders alone is comparable to the three major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.

Of course, apart from the number of people involved, Wang Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be generalized.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed nobles and courtiers. In addition to cleaning up the Hu Xing in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, it was to consolidate his power, while Wang Jing purely cleaned up the remaining hidden dangers in the city and eliminated harm for the people.

But most people don't think about the difference.

After experiencing this incident, many family members of Daxia's courtiers finally understood that the emperor is the emperor, and no matter how benevolent and righteous the monarch behaves, he has the power to say what he says and flow blood into rivers.

If the emperor is willing to give an order, their fate will be no different from that of the prisoners killed in the execution ground.

……

Two days later, the drizzle had stopped and the countless dust in Jinling City had been washed away.

In the garden of the imperial palace, the sun was shining faintly, making the flowers moistened by the rain more dazzling and bright. The lake water was microwaved, the lotus leaves were shaking, and the breeze was blowing, blowing the clothes of the two players who were playing chess in the flower pavilion.

Looking at the layout on the chessboard, Wang Jing lightly picked up a chess piece and landed on the criss-crossed chessboard.

On the opposite side, it was Liu Bowen who was playing chess with him.

Yesterday, Liu Bowen and Ye Chen went to the recruiting hall together, and after Wang Jing heard Liu Bowen's name, he immediately summoned him.

Liu Bowen's ability and reputation have been myths in many rumors in the source world.

Just like the mythical Zhuge Liang, he even boasted that Liu Bowen surpassed Zhuge, claiming that Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen ruled the world...

Of course, Liu Bowen's ability cannot surpass Zhuge Liang.

His strategy is outstanding, and he can compare with Zhuge Liang in terms of military strategy, but he cannot compare with Marquis Wu in governing the country.

Now under Wang Jing's command, there are many civil servants and generals.

There are several talented prime ministers alone, whether it is Gao Yan, Zhang Juzheng, or Li Shanchang, Cen Wenwen, and Xie An, they can preside over the government affairs of a dynasty.

The famous generals under his command who can command a large army can be compared with other dynasties in terms of ability and reputation.

The only thing that was a little weak was that when the army was dispatched, the staff officers and military advisers in the army were somewhat insufficient. Of course, it didn't mean that Xie Hui's ability was not good. If it was to deal with ordinary forces, Xie Hui could come up with a lot of ingenious strategies.

But if it was against people like Cao Cao and Liu Xiu, it would be difficult for Xie Hui's strategies to hide from them.

But now, once Liu Bowen arrives, he can make up for all of Da Xia's weaknesses.

Squeeze the moisture out of Liu Bowen's body, and he can also be ranked among the top strategists in the world of China.

"Your Majesty's chess skills are extraordinary, and the minister is not an opponent!"

After playing more than 100 hands with Wang Jing, Liu Bowen seemed to be thinking hard. After a while, he sighed and surrendered.

On the chessboard, the black stones he holds are at a disadvantage, and the big dragon is already surrounded by white stones.

Wang Jing smiled and did not expose the other party.

With his current mental strength, no matter what he learns, he can get twice the result with half the effort. When he was free in the palace, Wang Jing learned chess and painting from the queen and many concubines, and he quickly got started and learned well.

In particular, Go, which emphasizes calculation ability, Wang Jing quickly mastered it with his strong foundation.

But no matter how proficient he is, in a real contest, it is impossible to defeat Liu Bowen, an ancient celebrity who has been born since childhood.

The reason why Liu Bowen conceded was to save him face.

Playing chess with the emperor, who would really dare to win?
"That's it!"

Wang Jing beckoned, and asked the eunuch not far away to step forward and remove the chessboard, and then the maid brought tea and fruits.

"I heard that Mr. Bowen has been traveling in the south of the Yangtze River for many days. He should be very familiar with the system of Daxia and the situation in the south. I wonder if you can give me some advice. After defeating the Ming army, what should I do?"

Wang Jing took a sip of tea, and after the other party also raised his teacup and touched his lips, he asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen immediately put down his teacup.

"Your Majesty is too polite. I don't dare to give advice... Our dynasty captured Jinling and Xuancheng, which has established the overall situation in the south. The Song army is no longer a threat to our dynasty."

"As long as you follow the steps, digest the territory of the Ming army first, and then repel the Song army, your majesty will be able to dominate the south, unrivaled!"

Liu Bowen cupped his hands, with a very respectful attitude, and first praised Wang Jing.

"However, I also have a little humble opinion. After I repel the Song army, I only need to occupy Lin'an. There is no need to rush to use the army to drive them out... Although the Song army is weak, it is very tenacious. Instead of wasting too much on the Song army If it takes too long, it is better to send troops upstream first, capture Anqing, and seize Jiangling!"

Liu Bowen said.

Wang Jing pondered slightly. What Liu Bowen said was mostly the same as what he thought, such as suspending the use of troops after defeating the Song army, and sending a navy to capture Anqing along the Yangtze River...

Anqing is an important place in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is a key point for military strategists. The river here is relatively narrow, and the forces in the lower reaches occupy this place, which can effectively guard against the upper reaches.

And if the upstream forces win this place, they will be able to go down the river, and there will be a few percent more chances of winning.

In the history of the original world, the Qing army and the Taiping army fought bloody battles here, and the loss of Anqing also meant that the Taiping army was about to fall...

Wang Jing knew the importance of Anqing without being reminded.

However, Wang Jing really never thought about the idea of ​​sending troops to continue westward to attack Jiangling.

Liu Bowen noticed his expression and said: "Your Majesty, I used to gaze at the stars, Liu Bei of the Eastern Han Dynasty is as handsome as Xiaohan, and Liu Bei of Bashu is as angry as a bullfight... Both of them have become princes who can determine the general trend of the world!"

"Liu Xiu seized Nanyang, and the next step is to look at Xiangyang, and Liu Bei in Bashu, the road to the north is blocked by Qin State, the easiest way to expand is to go out of Sichuan and go east..."

"If Your Majesty can't take Jiangling as soon as possible, I'm afraid that in the future the Han Dynasty will join forces and condescend, which will be detrimental to our army!"
