Chapter 302 Solving Problems (7)
There were as many as eight or nine hundred people besieged the whole city of Hangzhou, but they were divided into more than thirty routes. After the Chinese army rushed out, some fled immediately, while others launched attacks. Defeating these shrimp soldiers and crab generals did not cause trouble to the troops, but instead took some effort to capture them.
Gong Yu did not go to see the treacherous gang. The troops had already formulated plans for how to deal with such people, and some were responsible for dealing with the captives. Gong Yu brought a few of those vassals over here, and the reasons for the rebellion of these men have value in discussion.
A few people sent here didn't look like evil people, but they looked like scholars. However, there were also tall and vicious people among scholars, such as Weber, who Gong Yu knew. Weber was staying with Huo Chong at this time and working in the Military Law Office. Thinking back to this guy's vicious appearance, Gong Yu didn't want to underestimate these scholars. Maybe these people are poisonous snakes hiding in the dark?
Beware of the situation, and the questioning was done step by step. These people were not old, and the oldest was only thirty years old. They did not have white beards, nor did they have white beards. At this time, they were all anxious, and as soon as they were asked, they immediately cursed the officials' families excitedly.
Judging from the confessions of these people, they all claimed that they were deceived. Gong Yu felt that this excuse was too bad, and he did not mention these things, but just asked why these people thought they could win.
"We heard that the army would blow up the camp. Those people said that people had already been sent into the city. As long as we fight inside and outside, the whole city would blow up the camp. At that time, we would kill in and win without taking action."
After listening to one of the people's stories, Gong Yu understood what these people were thinking. However, the reason was reasonable, and Gong Yu felt that the reason was too outrageous. Could it be that the plan was just based on what was heard? If this method could be achieved, it would be that he had never been a soldier...
Then I thought, these scholars have never been a soldier. Moreover, scholars never regard those who are in the army as humans, so it is normal for them to have strange ideas about the army. Then I continued to ask: "Then when you are deceived, you always try to find something. Let's talk about it."
The captives did not expect Gong Yu to raise such a question, and looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Finally, the older one said: "I just heard that you burned Yan Shenggong's home and killed Yan Shenggong's people..."
The clerk here has made quick records, while the prisoners are talking about the reasons one by one. The more Gong Yu heard it, the more surprised that these people were not for the sake of high-ranking officials, and they did not even receive any money.
Most of the reasons for rebellion were related to ideas. Except for the Chinese army scattered by the Qing Dynasty who killed all the Yanshenggong of Shandong, burned the Kong family's mansion, and smashed Confucius' tablets. The rest was that Huo Chong, as an official in the court, was disloyal and rose up to rebel.
Some people completely disagree with the Chinese court's policy of land ownership. They believe that if this happens, all scholars in the world will be ruined.
Listening to these guys’ reasons, Gong Yu didn’t know whether to value these guys or ignore these idiots.
The family of Qing officials knew that they were doomed, so they fought to the death. This is understandable.
It is because the big families are worried that Huo Chong will implement the land policy and in order not to be eliminated, they defect to Huo Chong early, trying to prove their value through cooperation in exchange for various preferential treatments. It is also understandable.
However, these useless scholars actually rebelled for the sake of SB theory. Gong Yu could not see any amazing wisdom these people had read.
If you are really interested in the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, at least you will go to Shandong like a stubborn guy like Gao Pang, and then take the exam to prove that your view of the world is in line with reality.
There is neither profit nor strength. If you do it from air to air, these people are crazy.
Regarding the mad dog, Gong Yu thought it could be shot and killed, and he was a warning to You.
Many thoughts were flying in Gong Yu's mind. Especially Ga Xing, it made Gong Yu particularly moved.
Mujia, who had dozens of kilograms, brought them to the streets, and wore Mujia for half a month. In addition to being watched, he was also physically tortured. Under the dual effects of mental shame and physical pain, these people should know that stupidity comes at a price.
However, the three major disciplines and eight precautions clearly state that prisoners cannot be abused. Gong Yu does not want to be blamed by Huo Chong, and he does not want to affect his future because of such a group of waste.
Let someone take these selected bastards down, sort out the speeches of these people, and pick out some key points. Gong Yu asked someone to interrogate others.
On the way back to the yamen, Gong Yu felt that since he could not abuse physically or be humiliated mentally, the rest could only place these guys as enemies and kill them together.
But no matter how much I think about it, Gong Yu himself thought it was definitely not suitable, but he just didn't know where it was inappropriate.
If you can't deal with these people hard, Gong Yu will feel uncomfortable.
In the end, Gong Yu still did not take action and just ordered the Manchus and the relatives of officials to be taken out and shot.
The local constable who defected to the court here came to ask for a meeting. Gong Yu asked this distant relative to come in. When the constable saw Gong Yu, he suggested: "Sir, I did this before..."
Any regime has always dealt with clear and rapid rebellion. Soon the notice was posted. Nearly a thousand people were killed in three days. On the first day, these people were tied up and tied up in prison vans and paraded in public. The big sign on the prison van said their crimes.
Jiang Xiaobai is one of them. Although he always felt that he was a man and had the determination to devote himself to morality. However, in the prison car, he saw himself slowly walking on the familiar street, getting closer and closer to the end of the road. Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized that the end of the road was the end of his life.
The Manchus in the team cursed loudly, and they were quite fierce. Jiang Xiaobai's heart became cold as he listened to their vicious curses against the Han people. If Manchus just scolded Huo Chong for the fortune of the king but rebelled and rebelled, it would be fine.
Unexpectedly, these Manchus scolded the Han people for rebelling, and waited for the Manchus to come back in the future and would definitely massacre the city.
According to the rules, when killing people, they must be decorated with red colors. People who are watching the fun along the way sometimes have to give these people some wine. The prison car will stop at this time, giving the heroes on the road a little more time to live.
But Manren cursed that he wanted to kill all the Han people. The people who were originally looking at the person who came to deliver the wine changed their faces. Anger appeared on his face. There was no more movement when there was a wine jar at the door of the shop. Some people even moved the wine jar back.
Without these people blocking the road, the prison cart was open to its destination.
Some Han people started to cry, and they jumped and tried to break free from the cage, and kept begging for mercy.
Jiang Xiaobai felt that these people were too spineless! After hearing this for a while, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt that he wanted to cry and beg for mercy.
Yes! Compared to living, begging for mercy and embarrassment has become irrelevant. As long as you can survive and see the sun of tomorrow, so what if you don’t study?
But Jiang Xiaobai still couldn't beg for mercy. The remaining sense of shame made him unable to shout out. Moreover, there were so many people in the prison brigade team begging for mercy. Jiang Xiaobai was waiting for officials to come and ask.
When they arrived at the open space, the prisoners were dragged out. They thought they wanted to behead their heads, but they did not expect that they were tied up the prisoners to a wooden stake, and some people stood behind the prisoners. The officers ordered the soldiers to raise their muskets. As the officers waved their arms, the muskets shot up. The prisoners' brains burst.
Jiang Xiaobai was frightened by the violent gunfire and the bursting of his head, so he couldn't speak. However, the next group of prisoners had been brought out, and muskets were shot again. The red and white flew out of his head, and the death row prisoners could not die again.
The next batch was Jiang Xiaobai. Jiang Xiaobai was about to beg for mercy, but he found that his throat was tightened by a rope and he could not make any sound. As for his body, he had been as soft as noodles at some point, and he could drag it.
Drag to the edge of the wooden stake and saw the body in front of him. Jiang Xiaobai's mind was blank and he had no idea.
Although the gunshots sounded in his ears, Jiang Xiaobai's whole body became soft and he collapsed to the ground.
After a while, Jiang Xiaobai found himself dragged away and was locked up with many people.
Is this... the underworld? Does the feeling in the underworld start when the body is dragged away?
Just as I was stunned, someone suddenly shouted happily: "I'm not dead! I'm not dead!"
This made everyone realize together that their lives have not ended, and cries and laughter sounded at the same time. Some people's voices kept changing, as if they were crying or laughing.
At this moment, someone entered the house and shouted to everyone from a high position: "You are an accomplice, not a mastermind. Please spare you all. But I ask, do you know you are wrong?"
"I was wrong! I was wrong! I knew I was wrong! I spared my life!" Without even deliberately preparing, Jiang Xiaobai had already shouted out his heart.
...
After receiving the news, Gong Yu was very satisfied with the effect of tying. At least the prisoners could not be said to have been insulted, and the prisoners also showed remorse. There was no need to further punish or continue to detain.
After all, many people have come to plead for mercy, so that these people can see that the compassion of the Chinese imperial court is not a bad thing.
However, Gong Yu still couldn't believe that he would get Huo Chong's praise by doing so, so he quickly wrote an official document and informed Huo Chong of this method originating from the old era.
Huo Chong couldn't help but sigh when he saw this passage in the official document.
In the past, when prisoners were executed, in order to force confessions or force surrender, prisoners who were not sentenced to death, prisoners who were temporarily suspended and prisoners who were about to be executed were tied to the execution grounds, so as to force them to submit or express their confessions in a terrifying situation.
If you put it in an exaggeration, of course, it can be said that Gong Yu did something inappropriate. However, from a realistic perspective, there is indeed no more suitable method than this.
If the accomplices who had besieged the Chinese army without punishment will be released, it will only create an impression that the Chinese army can be bullied.
It was a true benevolent policy to scare those people to death and let them go, at least in the Qing Dynasty.
