"My lord, my lord, we've made a big deal this time. Guess who I got caught by my humble position!"
Shi Bowen shouted happily as soon as he came in, but did not notice the ugly expressions on Pang Gang, Li Yuan and others.
Li Yuan, who was in a bad mood, glared and said, "Shi Bowen, you are young, you can just fart if you want, why bother?"
Li Yuan's words were very rude, and he almost pointed at his face and cursed him, but Shi Bowen was not angry either. He knew that this guy was a fool, and when he got angry, he wouldn't sell anyone's war, otherwise he wouldn't have done it back then.
He won't be beaten into a pig's head by Pang Daren.
Shi Bowen said with a smile: "Sir, you have never thought about who these three boys are. They are General Ma Shiyao of Zuo Guoyi, General Liu Rukuiwei of the right, and General Zhang Nai of the right, plus Liu Fangliang, who are from the bandit camp on the left.
All the leaders of the bandits Zuoying are alive."
"Um...really?"
Pang Gang couldn't help but be moved at this time, and he immediately arrested all the leaders of the bandits in De'an Mansion. This was not easy.
"That's right, sir, you don't know, right? These three thieves hid together in a small woodshed behind the old man Jiang's yard. They were discovered by old man Jiang and then reported it to us. They humblely led the brothers
As soon as I got there, I caught a turtle in a urn, not to mention how smooth it was!"
As Shi Bowen spoke, he waved his arms excitedly, looking elated.
No wonder he is so excited. As the captain of the soldiers beside Pang Gang, although this position has a noble status, it is also the place where it is least easy to achieve results. Following the boss every day, the chance of making meritorious deeds is almost slim. Now it is not easy.
After catching big fish for three days, he almost couldn't close his mouth with laughter.
But after the excitement, Shi Bowen saw that everyone's faces were not very good, and cast a questioning look at Wang Zhi with some doubts. Wang Zhi's mouth tilted to the side, and Shi Bowen immediately saw the man lying in a pool of blood.
A woman, he suddenly understood what was going on.
Sighing lightly, he walked gently to Pang Gang and asked: "Sir, how should we deal with these thieves? Can you please give me an idea?"
Pang Gang slowly walked up to these three people, stared at them carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "You three are the leaders of the Zuoying thief? Hehe... Look...
God will destroy you too."
"Young officer, if you want to kill, kill him, why bother to say so much!" The youngest general waited for Pang Gang to yell and curse.
Pang Gang didn't get angry, he just stared at the three of them unblinkingly for a while, which made them feel scared, and then said calmly: "Okay, since you want to die so much, then I will help you...
....Come here, drag these three people to Caishikou and chop them up!"
Shi Bowen was about to stand up but Li Yuan beat him to it: "Sir, can you let the future come to execute them?"
"Okay." Pang Gang nodded.
Li Yuan was so happy that he grabbed one of the thieves by the collar and dragged him out. The remaining two were also dragged out by the soldiers like dogs to death.
Until then, the three people who had been calm at first screamed. The three of them knew that they would not escape death this time, but there were many ways to die. This execution was the most cruel punishment in China.
one.
Cutting to death, also known as Lingchi, is one of the capital punishments for prisoners in ancient times. It is what the people call "cutting to death with thousands of cuts." It first appeared in the Five Dynasties and was written into the "Song Xingtong" as a punishment during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty.
The person was tied to a wooden stake, and the prisoner's flesh was cut off piece by piece with a knife. Initially, the number of cuts was one hundred and twenty, and later it increased to three hundred and sixty.
Because the punishment of beheading was so cruel in the Ming Dynasty, only those who committed treason, rebellion, "spoken speech" and other "big rebellion" and "violation of ethics" crimes were entitled to this treatment. In other words, "Lingchi" was mainly used
A punishment to execute political prisoners who endanger the interests of the feudal ruling class.
For Pang Gang, who was used to seeing prisoners shot with rifles, the fact that he could say the word "cutting" showed the extent of his inner anger.
"Pang Gang, you bastard, just give me a good time if you have the guts. How can you be a hero by torturing me like this!" Soon Liu Fangliang's hoarse voice sounded outside the yard, but the voice became farther and softer.
Looking at the figures of several people who had disappeared, Pang Gang remained unmoved and just said bitterly: "It is your own fault."
Pang Gang, who has read history books, is very clear about the virtues of these bandits. It can be said that there are not many good ones among the bandits. Some people may say that Li Dingguo is good, but people like Li Dingguo are almost rare among the bandits.
Take the mighty general Zhang Nai who was pushed out just now. He is also the adopted son of Li Zicheng. Historically, he was named a Marquis of Yi. After Li Zicheng died, he and General Hao Yaoqi led 40,000 troops to surrender on their own initiative, while Cihou
Liu Fangliang, however, surrendered with 10,000 troops. The Qing soldiers surrendered immediately after writing a letter persuading them to surrender, without even daring to negotiate conditions. There was also Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, who surrendered with 30,000 troops in Wuchang City. These are all
They surrendered without a fight, and the ones who surrendered were the Manchus, not the Ming Dynasty. This shows that these bandits have no national integrity. If you have breasts, you are a mother. It doesn't matter who the master is, it shows how afraid of death he is.
.
After Li Zicheng came to Beijing, logically speaking, since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he should get down to business. The bandits arose in droves, and the war lasted for twenty years, with no one farming. The top priority was to restore agricultural production and encourage mulberry farming, but the bandits did not
People are willing to farm, and everyone relies on robbery for a living. If it is not possible, they will kill people for food. In Pang Gang's view, only by completely eradicating it can this cancer be eradicated. In addition, after seeing Miss Bu's tragic situation just now, he was filled with anger.
Pang Gang ordered them to be beheaded without hesitation.
After giving this order, Pang Gang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk to the inner courtyard of the Yamen. At this time, dozens of women who were originally in the hall knelt down to Pang Gang.
"What are you doing? Get up." Pang Gang frowned and motioned for them to get up, but no one was willing to get up.
The young woman at the head sobbed: "Sir, most of the homes of civilian girls have been destroyed by bandits, and most of their relatives are gone. Moreover, our bodies have been defiled by bandits. Even those who still have family members cannot return.
Go, once the civilian girls go back, they will only die. Sir, just do your best and save the civilian girls!"
After saying that, the woman immediately kowtowed to Pang Gang, making a loud banging sound, and her head became red and swollen after just a few kowtows.
"Is that so?"
Pang Gang turned his head to look at the people next to him with some doubts, but saw Bin Shiqian and Wang Zhi nodded lightly at the side.
Pang Gang frowned and wondered if Li Ao was so strict now. He remembered that when he first arrived at Lingshan Guards, he rescued his cheap father-in-law Wei Tongnian's young concubine Rou Niang in Yangjiatun.
It's obvious that she has been defiled by that guy named Wang Mazi, but I don't see Rou Niang looking for death.
In fact, what Pang Gang didn't know was that Rou Niang was born in a brothel. She didn't value chastity as much as ordinary women, and she wouldn't seek death just because a man did something to her. This was also something Pang Gang didn't know.
.
"Okay!" Pang Gang sighed and said to these women: "Since you don't want to go back, then just follow the army in the transport camp for the time being. When you return to Shandong, I will help you find a good family to marry.
It’s like having someone to rely on for the rest of my life.”
"Thank you, Sir!" These women choked and knelt down to Pang Gang again.
"Come on... don't kneel down, I can't stand this." Pang Gang waved his hand impatiently and walked out...
The news that the Qingzhou Army had captured De'an Mansion could not be concealed for long, and soon the news reached the ears of Niu Shexing who was guarding Wuchang Mansion.
"What? De'an Prefecture Yan Shou, Liu Fangliang and the other 30,000 left-hand guards were all wiped out?"
Niushe Xingyan screamed, and the right hand that was holding the folding fan tightly had blue veins bulging from the force.
It was his idea to let Liu Fangliang and others garrison De'an Mansion. Originally, he was very confident that Liu Fangliang would lead 30,000 Zuoying troops to garrison De'an Mansion. He believed that even if the imperial court sent all the troops to attack, Liu Fangliang could resist it no matter how hard he tried.
Ten days and a half month, that much time was enough for him to make arrangements. Unexpectedly, Liu Fangliang, a Thai guy, couldn't support him for even one night. Thirty thousand people were eaten up without even farting.
, this result made Niu Shexing so angry that he almost had cerebral congestion.
"We can't let Pang Gang continue to move forward like this, otherwise King Chuang will never spare him!" Niu Shexing paced around the room anxiously.
At present, most of the main force of the Chuang Army has been taken away by King Chuang and Liu Zongmin to attack Hunan and Shaanxi. He only has less than 50,000 untrained peasants at his disposal. And among them, 30,000 of the main force have been taken away by Liu Fangliang and others.
Take them away. Now Niu Shexing only has 20,000 troops in his hands, and these 20,000 troops are still distributed in various cities. Now the only ones he can use are the 8,000 troops stationed in Wuchang Mansion.
"No, Hubei can't be defended anymore. If we don't report our departure, we will be dead."
Niu Shexing thought about it and came to a conclusion that he didn't want to draw. Now the main forces of the Chuang Army were trapped in Hunan and Shaanxi. It was impossible to expect them to return to the army and rush for reinforcements, which would not harm the Chuang Army.
Habit. The traditional habit of the Chuang Army is to fight guerrillas. To put it bluntly, they swarm in when they see soft persimmons and run away when they see hard enemies. This habit has been deeply imprinted in the bones of the generals of the Chuang Army. For a while,
It will be impossible to change, not to mention that it is their mortal enemy Qingzhou Army who is coming, so they will not dare to return to the army to help. Anyway, Hubei has been almost harmed by them, so if it is lost, it will be lost.
Niu Shexing banged his fist on the table and said grimly: "Well, Pang Gang, let me make you proud today, and I will settle accounts with you another day..."
