Scum Male’s Whitewashing Manual
165. Bandit Emperor (11) (1/2)
After General Zhao saw his wife and children, he no longer had any scruples, and directly killed the eunuch sent by the emperor to monitor him. That night, he joined the Miao City Army.
Of course, he would not just go there by himself, but would merge all the soldiers and generals in his hands into the Miao City Army.
With General Zhao, Wei Mingyan was even more powerful and fought all the way up.
As more cities were defeated, people gradually came to know the difference between the Miao City Army.
Although they are soldiers, they will never destroy people's property or capture the city. When people flee for their lives, these soldiers will not stop them from leaving. They usually go straight to the government, leaving people to garrison and manage those who are still in the city. common people.
If you want to go, you can go, if you want to stay, you can stay.
Those captured cities were a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually, the people let down their guard. After all, being able to have enough food and clothing was their only hope.
This winter seems to be extremely long.
The air has been getting colder since the beginning of winter, and now it is already the beginning of spring, but the coldness has not dropped at all. There is no sun in the sky. People with some background in the family can say that although the day is difficult, it is still difficult to cover up. Some quilts are fine, but those whose families are poor are in dire straits.
They often can't even afford a pair of shoes and are dressed in rags, let alone a thick quilt. At night, the family can only hug each other to keep warm.
It is not uncommon for adults to wake up in the morning and find that the child they are protecting in their arms has become hard.
Miao Chengjun was stationed in the newly conquered city. When he was patrolling this day, he suddenly heard a miserable howl, followed by mourning and crying. The soldiers in front waved, and the soldiers behind him stopped.
Holding long knives in hand, they turned into the alley where the sound came from, and sure enough they saw a woman crying sadly with a child in her arms under the gloomy sky.
There were neighbors around her who persuaded her to bury the child. The short and thin man should be the father of the child. He was also trying to carry the child over, but the woman cried and ran away.
This soldier was originally from a poor background, and thought he would continue like this for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, he signed up to join the Miao City Army just for the family's rations, and actually became a small leader along the way.
Now, in addition to his salary, he also gets meal allowance every month. The fish he brings back every month can keep his old parents, who used to be thin and sallow, full of food. Yesterday, he was saying that his family also had some wealth and wanted to find a wife for him.
The soldier refused, and they fought all the way up, not knowing how many risks there were. Although adults would give out pensions in case of death or injury, so that his parents at home would not be left without support, but he still didn’t know what the future would be like, and where he could go to harm others. When a girl gets married, she has to accept the separation of husband and wife.
Even though he thought this way, seeing that the brothers around him had fat babies who loved him, there was no reason why he wasn't envious.
He has always liked children, and his biggest wish is to marry a wife after the war and give birth to ten or eight children. His son will teach them how to use a knife, and his daughter will be dressed up beautifully, like an adult's niece, wearing the best clothes. Of, using the best, Mei runs around happily every day.
Seeing this little child freezing to death, and thinking that this was already the seventh one they had seen all morning, the soldier sighed, took out three coins from his arms, and handed them to the man.
"Buy a straw mat so that you can bury him alive."
Three copper coins were exactly the money for the straw mat. This morning, he had already given out twenty-one copper coins.
The man was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down excitedly with tears in his eyes and thanked him. He was helped up by the soldiers. Looking at the well-dressed team, he could feel the awe-inspiring team walking away just by looking at it. The man wiped his eyes I shed tears and continued to persuade my wife.
"Boss, is your salary enough? I've paid you several times this morning."
The soldier was straightening his back and inspecting the surrounding situation. A brother who had a good relationship with him asked. He said with a straight face, "I just don't want to see those children buried with nothing."
For poor families, when a person dies, they just dig a hole with them and throw them directly in. Not to mention a coffin, they don't have straw mats or clothes.
Those children are pitiful to begin with, at least they should be treated with dignity.
Thinking about it, the soldier sighed, "My father was a hunter when I was a child. Although the winter is getting colder and there are no prey, he has never been cold, and he is only hungry..."
The soldiers following behind were immediately attracted by the sight, "Boss, you have never suffered from the cold? How is this possible? The weather is getting colder day by day. Who doesn't howl in the winter with the cold?"
"It's just that I didn't experience it when I was a kid."
The soldier recalled, "At that time, there was a blind bear living in the mountains. My father accidentally broke in and brought out some black stones. He had been throwing them away in the firewood shed. However, he accidentally used them in the winter and found that they could be used for a long time after being burned. After a long time, my father tried his best to lure Xiong Xiazi back with a basketful of black stones. Although we were all hungry that winter, it was really not cold. "
"Black stone?!!"
Bizarre stories are always easy to attract attention. Several soldiers nearby immediately became interested, "Boss, what kind of black stone is it? Can it really be burned for a long time?"
"Boss, if we find these black stones, everyone won't have to suffer the cold."
Several people were chatting around, and suddenly someone said, "I heard Master Mo say that he is looking for a way to keep out the cold. If anyone finds it, he will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."
The scene fell silent.
More than a dozen eyes fell on the soldier.
"Is this accurate? Why haven't we heard it?"
The soldier's eyes were small, but he looked very lively. He said directly, "I know Mr. Mo's family, so Mr. Mo can talk to me a few words. I heard this from him. "
This soldier was the gangster who protected Widow Song. He saw Widow Song recognized as his adopted sister by Mo Da, and she became the young lady of the Mo family from then on. He was happy for her at the same time, but also worried that his little idea could no longer be realized. .
Later, he figured it out on his own.
He is a man who has nothing in his hands and is too embarrassed to even open his mouth. He was not worthy of Widow Song in the past. Now she is a popular lady who is accompanied by maids when she goes out. If he continues to hang out like this, his idea is just wishful thinking. I can't even think about it.
The gangster joined the army just like that, but although he had a quick mind and had some ability to climb over walls, he couldn't compete with those soldiers and generals who relied on their own strength. Therefore, although he could fight, he was still a small soldier.
He himself is not in a hurry, he just does his own thing every day, down-to-earth and hopes to be promoted as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this news, the gangster persuaded the soldiers, "Boss, this is a thousand taels of silver. Just go and report it. Maybe it can really be done."
The soldier hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll report it when I get back today."
Thousand taels of silver. If he could really get so much silver, even if he died in battle one day, he would not have to worry about his parents having nothing to support him.
***
Just as the cold was getting worse, news about the Miao City Army suddenly spread quietly among the people.
It is said that the people under their jurisdiction all wore cotton-padded clothes, and the government would provide porridge at noon every day. At night, they would burn the black stones, so that they would be warm all night when they slept.
Of course, the black stone is not free. After all, Wei Mingyan sent people to explore the cave and confirmed that it was not the blind bear who had the black stone, but that he happened to dig the black stone in the mountain. After that, the black stones that were transported to various places were all artificial. Digged up.
With such manpower and material resources, the price of Blackstone seems a bit cheap, not to mention that Wei Mingyan ordered the construction of a government school. Children who want to enter can enroll directly as long as they have books, whether they are old or new.
No matter day or night, the official school is always burning with black stone.
Wei Mingyan paid no attention to the people who came in and out of the city he had won. Gradually, some businessmen boldly offered to buy black stones, but they learned that the excess black stones had already been bought by a businessman named Li.
Just when they lamented that they were still late, the black stone gradually became popular among the upper class in the capital.
After all, the black stone burns smokelessly and silently. Coupled with Merchant Li's publicity, people bought it one after another.
expensive?
What a joke, can people at their level still care about this little money?
Ministers gradually used black stones, and even the royal family began to purchase them because of this popular trend. For them, the price was quite cheap, but in the eyes of the people, this was not the case.
Expensive things that they could never buy in their lifetime, which could keep them warm and save their lives, and the black stone that could only be used by the ministers and royal family, could actually be used by the rebels day and night.
I heard that the government would distribute a piece of black stone every day. It was a little small, but when I thought about the price that this black stone would get if it were shipped out and sold, it made people jealous.
With enough to eat and warm clothes, you don’t even need to worry about heating.
The people were originally envious.
The emperor who wanted to die ordered another conscription.
There was no way, the people under him were retreating steadily, and now the treasury was empty, there was no food, and the swords were all rusted, so they could only use the old method to win with manpower.
I still don’t have enough to eat or wear, and it’s already difficult to survive. The country has to recruit soldiers again. Even this time, the recruitment standards require men to go to the battlefield at the age of twelve.
Twelve years old, that's still a baby. I wonder which family member would be willing to give it up.
When the imperial court led the conscripted men out from door to door like animals and cursed a few casually as usual, the old scalpers who had been silent and allowed to be beaten and scolded completely quit.
After a man beat up a man from the government, the remaining men seemed to have seen an example. Miao Chengjun's station was not far away. These dozens of men beat up the officers and soldiers. They didn't even have time to pack their things when they got home. The family rushed there.
They are also desperate. Miao Chengjun values their children. If they can't get in, it's okay for the children to go.
Wei Mingyan would not refuse any of the people who came to seek refuge, whether they were gray-haired or yellow-mouthed children.
Throwing bricks to attract jade, this is just a brick, the real jade is yet to come.
More and more people and their families fled to Miao Chengjun. Finally, this matter attracted attention.
The general guarding the gate did not close the city gate or report it to the emperor. Instead, he led people to guard it. If anyone wanted to drag his family away and escape, he would be taken into custody directly.
He thought that this would stop the people, but he did not expect that when his life could not be saved, what he did would only arouse the anger of the people even more.
Finally, this group of people, who had been suppressed and called stupid people, broke out.
The gangster lay down in a dilapidated low house under the city gate for seven days. When he was hungry, he ate the dry food he brought with him. When he was thirsty, he took out a bamboo tube and took a few careful sips to moisten his dry throat.
He was like a weasel hiding in the night, lying motionless and waiting for prey to come forward.
Finally, he found an opportunity.
A soldier was waving his knife and confronting the people, cursing, and then he slipped and fell to the ground.
Originally, this fall was fine, but he was unsteady and panicked, and the knife in his hand stabbed into his stomach.
Only the gangster and the commoner saw this scene, but the other generals didn't know. They were furious in an instant and swung their knives at the fool who dared to kill.
The commoner himself was also confused and retreated to avoid it. The knife chopped on his arm.
Seeing the blood, the people were all timid.
But before they could be timid, the knife chopped down again.
This is to not let them live!!!
Not enough to eat, cotton clothes are expensive, there is no black stone, these are all fine!
But, you can't let them live!
Not enough, not enough!
The people with red eyes are no longer docile, and they rushed up with desperate roars.
There was the first one, and the second one. Some people took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and sneak out to join Miao Chengjun.
Until the capital was in chaos and the Miao Chengjun cavalry entered the city, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne had not figured out why it was so fast.
How long has it been? How come that group of rebels entered the capital?
Wei Mingyan led the army and rushed all the way to the Golden Palace.
There, the emperor who wanted to escape had been tied up and trapped on the ground, just like a worm squirming.
He shouted desperately, conferring a title, a king, and even ceding land, hoping to persuade the traitor who even sat on the dragon throne to let him go.
Wei Mingyan, wearing a white mighty armor, leaned on the dragon throne, looking down at the man on the ground.
He was still scolding at first, then tempting, and now he is begging.
The handsome man with heroic appearance propped up his chin, watching him as if he was watching a monkey show. When the former emperor stopped talking, Wei Mingyan spoke lightly.
"Do you know why you lost?"
"Before Emperor Tianwei died, he left you eight loyal ministers to assist the country, each of whom was carefully selected by him."
"These ministers must be able to assist you, but because the family has few descendants and cannot become a big force, they are all loyal to Emperor Tianwei. If he says he will die, these ministers will go to die without hesitation..."
"Before he died, he accepted the resignation of the father-in-law and took away all the power in the hands of the queen mother. Whether it was the former dynasty or the harem, everything was properly arranged for you."
The man on the ground had red eyes, and listened to Wei Mingyan's slow and despair in disbelief and despair, "Emperor Tianwei is indeed a Good emperor, it's a pity that you were born as stupid as a pig. "
"You forced loyal ministers to death and welcomed back treacherous ministers. Step by step, you forced yourself to this dead end."
After Wei Mingyan finished speaking, he waved his hand without even looking at the crying middle-aged man with snot on his face, "Kill him here."
"Don't! Don't kill me! ! ! "
The former emperor had completely lost his former high and mighty attitude. He wore a dragon robe and kowtowed in panic, "I give you the country and the concubine, but I don't want the dragon throne or the dragon robe anymore. Don't kill me, please, please..."
The soldiers stood behind, looking at the emperor they once feared, and all of them showed disdain in their eyes.
Wei Mingyan changed his hand to support his chin, and with a pair of heroic eyes, he quietly looked at the former emperor on the ground, "Your Majesty, do you want to live?"
The emperor nodded desperately, "Yes! I do!"
He looked at the man in the wheelchair with fear and smiled slowly. He felt relieved and thought he had escaped a disaster, but suddenly a gloomy voice came to his ears:
"Those people and loyal ministers who were killed by you, don't you want to live?"
The emperor froze, and he watched the man in front of him like a demon saying:
"I changed my mind. Beheading is really not in line with your Majesty's status."
Wei Mingyan still had a gentle smile on his face and knocked on the dragon chair,
"Then, Lingchi."
"No-I am the emperor of Jin, you can't do this... umm..."
Something was stuffed in his mouth and he was dragged away directly.
The emperor who had been incompetent all his life was dragged away like a dead dog. With a pair of turbid eyes, he watched the groups of people standing in rows and kneeling down. In everyone's eyes, there was pure admiration.
But this admiration was all for the traitor.
The emperor was only wearing a middle coat and was dragged on the ground. He was shivering all over. He had never suffered such hardship since he was born. When he was cursing in despair in his heart,
accompanied by the soldiers looking at Wei Mingyan in the Golden Palace with admiring eyes, the neat voice, like a tsunami, completely resounded in his ears:
——"Long live my emperor!"
——"Long live!!"
——"Long, long live!!!"
From then on, the Jin State changed its surname to Wei.
The author has something to say: Mumumumuda, the second update is here, good night everyone!
The first ten little angels will send red envelopes, and then ten will be randomly selected. I have saved up red envelopes for a long time. I will try to send them tomorrow. Mimu, love you!
