Chapter 471 The imperial court's trick to suppress rebellion, let it betray the hero
"Hua Shumi, please see that these rebels who rebel based in Tongzhou are not wise, because Tongzhou is too close to the capital and is easily besieged by heavy troops of the court. They should move towards Baoding and Zhending to avoid the siege of our court. And they do this now, giving us the opportunity to quickly surround them, but we really want to attack the city?"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Tongzhou City behind the high walls of the city and spoke to Hua Yuncheng, and said, "The officials are not afraid of death, but think that it would be a pity if my good man from Yulin Guard paid the price of casualties because of these forced rebellion workers. However, they have indeed rebelled now and cannot be forgiven!"
Hua Yuncheng said: "I have a better way to deal with them without bloodshed."
As he said that, Hua Yuncheng said, "Give the brass trumpet to me."
As soon as the guard handed the brass horn to Hua Yuncheng.
Hua Yuncheng rode his horse to the gate of Tongzhou City with the brass trumpet.
The rebel workers guarding Tongzhou City were nervous when they saw this, and they all asked Gui Zhong, the foreman who organized their rebellion, and said, "Boss Gui, the official, came to us alone. What is he going to do?"
"Who knows!"
Gui Zhong said something.
The older employee said, "I recognize him. He was the former Master Futaihua from Tianjin. He was a good official. He saved our family because he knew I was an old blacksmith and asked me to work in the iron factory."
"So what about a good official? We have rebelled now. What kind of official Wulun is, they are our enemies!"
Gui Zhong said that.
At this time, Hua Yuncheng had already started shouting under the city: "My fellow villagers, I am the governor of Tianjin Hua Yuncheng, and I already know your grievances and know that this is not your fault."
"So, I have reported the emperor's will, thinking that you are forced and helpless, and bewitched. Therefore, as long as you are willing to identify the person who organized you to rebel, and raise your hands to surrender now, you will not blame the past for what you have committed. It is considered to be bewitched and coerced but not guilty. You will even pay the salary owed to you, and you will also be given a month's salary as additional compensation. In addition, you will also seek justice!"
As Hua Yuncheng said, he ordered Lu Xiangsheng behind him: "Let them take Gao Hongzong up!"
"yes!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied.
So, Gao Hongzong, the doctor in charge of the Tongzhou Iron Factory, was taken down.
As soon as Gao Hongzong was taken over, the rebel workers in the city became excited.
"It's the dog official named Gao. He was really arrested by this official!"
"This Gao surname is today!"
"This man surnamed Gao was actually arrested!"
...
The rebel workers were talking about it.
Gui Zhongze, who organized their rebellion, said: "The officials in the world are the same. They are just showing us how to show us!"
But at this time, Hua Yuncheng suddenly shouted: "Chun!"
Gao Hongzong was very surprised and shouted: "The person surnamed Hua, you bastard, you are all colleagues. Why do you want to cut off my head for the thieves above?"
Click!
But Hua Yuncheng's guard's knife still fell down.
Gao Hongzong was beheaded on the spot.
"good!"
The rebel workers in the city cheered.
Some people even said, "It's really chopped down! I've really chopped down the dog official named Gao! It seems that this official is really the decision for us!"
"Yes, this official's words are credible!"
...
Hua Yuncheng continued to shout, "Why are you going to be too late? Please submit to the court quickly. As long as you identify the main culprit and surrender, your crime will not be pursued. You will still go back to the past. Don't you want to earn money every day, drink and eat meat, and your wife and children have new clothes for the New Year every year? Don't you want to get married and have children? Do you pass on the family line?!"
As Hua Yuncheng said, he turned around and ordered: "Please bring all the silver coins up!"
So, not long after, boxes of silver coins were carried up.
Hua Yuncheng opened these boxes full of silver coins again, and after taking a look at the silver coins, he continued to shout to the rebel workers on the city wall: "Stop surrendering now, don't fight unnecessary struggles, you can't fight the court. In addition, my official promised on behalf of the court that he would not owed your salary from now on. If he owed, you can go directly to the governor's office of my official and find me!"
"It's really money, it's really a counter-payment!"
"It's better Mr. Hua!"
"I still want to go back to work!"
...
For a moment, most of the hired workers were moved.
"The main culprit is him, Gui Zhong, foreman Gui. He made us rebel and let us go on strike!"
Moreover, at this time, the hired worker pointed at Gui Zhong first, then threw down the spear in his hand, and raised his hand to walk down the city.
Then, another hired worker pointed at Gui Zhong: "It was him, Foreman Gui asked us to do this! I will surrender now!"
"It's Foreman Gui. I didn't want to strike at the beginning, and I didn't want to do this!"
Then another hired worker raised his hands.
Hua Yuncheng smiled when he saw this.
Soon, the gate of Tongzhou City opened and the suspension bridge was put down. The hired workers spontaneously raised their hands and walked out to surrender.
Seeing this, Gui Zhong shouted angrily: "What are you doing? I see you pitiful, I ask for wages for you, organize you to strike, stand up for you, and lead you to rebel, not for yourself, but for you to live like a person, why do you betray me! Betray me! If this continues, if there are corrupt officials who will bully you in the future, who else dares to stand up for you! Ah!"
Gui Zhong felt very helpless and disappointed.
Then, Gui Zhong shouted at the surrendered hired workers: "You deserve to be bullied by them for the rest of your life!"
Some hired workers couldn't help but feel ashamed when they heard this, but they still chose to come and surrender.
After all, no one doesn’t want to live or live a peaceful life.
Some hired workers muttered to their colleagues: "No one asked him to stand up. He just took advantage of our strength and became emperors, or like Song Jiang in Water Margin, we rebel, and wanted to be an official!"
Hua Yuncheng had already let Lu Xiangsheng lead his troops into the city to capture Gui Zhong.
After Hua Yuncheng entered the city, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but praise Hua Yuncheng: "Hua Shumi used only some silver and a head to quell the rebellion. It's really admirable."
Hua Yuncheng said: "The common people have always been in trouble. Just use a little lenient strategy to make them betray the main culprit and escape from the crime. After all, except for a few ambition heroes, most people do not really want to oppose the court! And after doing this, fewer and fewer heroes who call for the people will be called on for the people. Everyone will be tactful and no longer stand out, and the court will be more responsible for these people."
