Chapter 374 Kill them all! Kill tens of thousands of monks with blood!

Zhang Gui looked at this scene and smiled slightly: "You are really a talent!"

"The supervisor is so complimentary! If the supervisor is willing to grant permission, the students are willing to do their best for the supervisor!"

Yao Zhijing replied.

Zhang Guidao: "You can't say that. I don't want the Han people to be dogs and horses."

"Yes, the student made a mistake, and the student is willing to lead the horse and run errands for the supervisor."

Yao Zhijing replied.

Zhang Guiyin thought that people like Yao Zhijing did not have any value. For example, using him to understand the core situation of the puppet dynasty and accelerate the destruction of the puppet dynasty was one of the values, so he said:

"Speaking of it, you can't be entirely blamed for the puppet government. You are just a small county magistrate. Wang Wenkui wanted to rebel against the imperial court. Of course, you had no choice. You even confusedly mistakenly thought that he was passing Jun's order for others.

The result is that you will be detained as an official of the puppet government."

"In this case, I will give you a chance."

"If you can guard Wang Wenkui or Zhao Shichun on behalf of the imperial court, let them fall into the hands of the imperial army as soon as possible, and then perform a meritorious service, I will naturally ask the emperor to forgive you for your death penalty, and maybe give you something to do."

After hearing this, Yao Zhijing was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed: "Student thanks the supervisor!"

Zhang Guiyai waved his hand and said: "Then quickly go and report back to Zhao Shichun! Keep an eye on them for my supervisor!"

"yes!"

Yao Zhijing left happily.

Human nature is so complicated. Zhao Shichun wanted to use Yao Zhijing to risk being killed to ask Zhang Gui for a chance to negotiate peace.

But Zhao Shichun would not have thought that Yao Zhijing would switch to Zhang Gui without hesitation as soon as he saw Zhang Gui's rejection.

After Zhao Shichun saw Yao Zhijing again, he did not doubt that Yao Zhijing was no longer his, but was only disappointed because Zhang Gui, whom Yao Zhijing brought back, did not accept the news of peace.

You know, Zhao Shichun also hoped to take advantage of the success of the peace talks to overthrow Wang Wenkui and become the chief minister of the puppet dynasty.

As a result, Zhang Gui did not cooperate.

Zhao Shichun was really panicked all of a sudden and didn't know what to do.

Yao Zhijing even took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Ge, do we still want to impeach Wang Fengyang?"

"No more impeachment!"

Zhao Shichun waved his hand and said: "From now on, since they do not accept peace talks, then we will take the lead in fighting and fight to the death with them!"

Zhao Shichun suddenly changed his position and became the main militant faction.

Of course, the main battle and the main battle are just business, and Zhao Shichun just made the choice that was most beneficial to him based on the actual situation.

"yes!"

But the main battle can only be shouting, and in the face of the general trend, it can't change anything at all.

The official army of Zhou Yuji's troops has already marched all the way to Changsha, Hengzhou, and Chenzhou, and the vanguard troops have also entered Guangdong.

Huang Degong's troops had also entered Sichuan. With the assistance of Chieftain Shizhu, they made a surprise attack on Kuiguan, took Luzhou by water, and then recaptured Chengdu.

In addition, the trilateral governor Fu Zonglong commanded his army to capture Jianmen, and Sichuan was no longer in danger. The rebellious minister Wang Aoyong was forced to commit suicide in Baoning Prefecture, and the entire territory of Sichuan was recovered.

The puppet court in Guangdong could no longer receive food support from the prosperous Shu land.

When Lu Zuanzu, who was captured as a young man and became a member of the rebels, learned about the arrival of the army, he cried with joy on the spot and secretly shouted: "Master Wang is here!"

Lu Zuanzu even planned to sit down and surrender.

Because he already knew from the official reports circulated in the puppet country that ordinary soldiers like himself could only be regarded as being coerced and not considered treason. Not only would they not be executed, they would also receive relief. If they had the ability, they would be requisitioned on the spot.

.

Of course, he was able to obtain this information through the official newspaper because he was literate.

Therefore, he had always planned to surrender as soon as the army came.

In addition, he also informed this information to several young men in the same team who were illiterate but could be regarded as being forcibly captured. These young men were also willing to surrender to the enemy with him, and even recommended him as the leader, and even the company

Everyone listened to him.

But what Lu Zuanzu didn't expect was that his boss's boss was a coward. As soon as the army arrived, he ran away before the fight started, so he had to be coerced and ran away. After all, if he didn't follow, he would be killed by his boss.

The boss ordered the servant Ding to shoot him.

In the eyes of his boss's boss, people like Lu Zuanzu were his private property.

And this situation happened again and again. Every time he arrived at a place, when the army was about to come, his boss's boss decisively abandoned the city and fled, and he had to flee with him. As a result, he could not sit down and surrender to the army, so he could only surrender.

He could look at the officers and soldiers so close and sigh: "I really want to go to the other side!"

"Let's go! The army is attacking!"

When his boss's boss' servant shouted, he had no choice but to keep running.

Here Wang Wenkui was also planning to escape with Zhao Shichun and other central ministers of the puppet government.

But at this time, they faced a problem.

"Not enough ships?"

Wang Wenkui asked Wei Boxiang, who had been promoted to Minister of Industry.

Wei Boxiang nodded and said: "Yes, most of the levied silver was used to build the imperial mausoleum for His Majesty. In addition, the shipbuilding timber purchased with the silver was also used to build the gardens of the ministers.

At the moment, there are not many barbarian ships hired, and not many new ships are built. In addition, due to the implementation of the maritime ban, no ships are allowed to go into the sea, so there are very few civilian ships that can be requisitioned."

After hearing this, Zhao Shichun became anxious, but he still said politically correct: "But this does not mean that the sea ban is wrong. This is the ancestral system, and the ancestral system is correct!"

"In addition, not much wood was used to build the garden. In fact, it was due to the cunning of the subordinate officials and the laziness of the craftsmen. It was just that the shipbuilding in the dockyard was seriously delayed! As for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, it was only necessary to repay the kindness of loyalty and filial piety to the emperor and father.

The current situation is caused not only by the system, nor by people's hearts, but by bad luck! We have received great favor from the emperor, so we should think of ways to maintain the current situation as best we can."

"What Mr. Ge said is that nowadays the main shipowners are still in the hands of the foreigners. The foreigners have many big ships, but they also have to transport their own troops."

Wei Boxiang said.

After hearing this, Wang Wenkui said: "Go and negotiate with the foreign barbarians and try to get them to give us the ship!"

When Wang Wenkui was about to send people to negotiate with the foreign barbarians, the officers and soldiers on Zhang Gui's side had already invaded Shaozhou like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Zhang Gui's Chinese army has also arrived at Renhua.

However, when Zhang Gui, Zhu Xieyuan and others arrived at Renhua and rested in a deserted temple, a large number of monks, numbering tens of thousands of people, actually appeared, holding a variety of firearms and setting up camp outside their central army.

, and blocked the way of the Chinese army.

Zhang Gui asked Zhu Xieyuan to arrange for someone to contact him.

Not long after, a monk named Huiting was brought over.

Zhang Gui asked Huiting: "Why are you blocking the road?"

Huiting replied: "In order to protect the king's moral principles, the ancestors established the ethics!"

Zhang Gui smiled after hearing this and asked, "What does this have to do with you monks and Taoists?"

"Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism belong to the same family. You have ruined the world's ethics and have already brought disaster to our pure land of Buddhism! How can we sit back and watch as you try to completely destroy the hope of Neo-Confucianism and cause great harm to the world!"

Huiting replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui asked coldly: "Tell me, how did we harm your Buddhist pure land?"

The Huiting monk opened a box he had brought and threw a human head in front of Zhang Gui: "You have cleared the land, even the temple land, and you are prohibited from keeping slaves. Temples are not allowed to keep monks and nuns as slaves and kill them."

Of!"

"And this person is the reform official Cheng Zhixian who acted on your orders. He has been eliminated by us to show our determination that we will not sit back and watch your evil ways!"

Zhang Gui glanced at Cheng Qingwei, who was once the magistrate of Renhua County in the Ming Dynasty, and said solemnly: "In this case, there is no way to talk!"

So, the Huiting monk left here.

Within an hour, the Huiting monk and several monks and Taoist soldiers came towards the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers to kill them.

Here, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, also personally organized the officers and soldiers to counterattack.

Row after row of officers and soldiers lined up to form a gun formation, relying on bunkers to shoot at the monks.

So batch after batch of monks and Taoist soldiers fell to death in front of the official and military formations, gradually piling up into mountains, and their blood gradually flowed into rivers.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao's younger brother Cao Wenshao led his cavalry to surround him from the left and right wings, surrounding tens of thousands of monks who were afraid to flee after seeing this.

Zhang Guize directly issued an order: "These people have bad hearts. They just want to feed the Han people. They are useless. Kill them all! To rectify their hearts!"

"yes!"

So Cao Wenshao pulled out his butcher knife, went back again, and led his cavalry to kill wildly.

For a time, the trees outside Jinshan Temple in Renhua County were dyed red.
Chapter completed!
