As soon as the group of people came out of the mountain pass, they saw a crowd of people standing at the top of the Ximen City of Datong. They all looked up eagerly.
After walking nearly a hundred meters, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and a group of people and horses came out. The first person was the acting king Zhu Chuanji, followed by Wang Jimo, Wei Jingyuan and others.
With a dark face, he rode up to the front of the team, glanced at Chang Yu, and clasped his fists. After all, Chang Yu had a different identity at this time: "Is Jiang Yu really planning to rebel?"
Chang Yu chuckled: "I don't know about the rebellion yet, but the assassination of the governor is a certainty. Please go and ask him personally."
Zhu Chuanji rode up to Jiang Yu and others who were tied up by Wu Hua Da, and shouted: "Jiang Yu, did you really do this?" You know that he and Jiang Yu have a good relationship on weekdays, and I really don't believe this is true.
.
Jiang Yan raised his head slightly, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"
"You are the king of farts!"
Zhu Chuanji couldn't help but cursed, turned his horse and walked away. In a hurry, he turned around and said to Chang Yu: "In the evening, the palace will hold a banquet to celebrate the factory director."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chang Yu cupped his fists and expressed his gratitude remotely, but his eyes turned to the side because he always felt like someone was staring at him.
At a glance, he saw a young man standing next to Wang Jimo. He was only twenty years old, fair and handsome, riding a black horse and holding a long sword.
"Who is this……"
"His Royal Highness the Prince," Wang Jimo introduced quickly.
"It turns out it's the Crown Prince's Palace." Chang Yu clasped his fists, and the Crown Prince immediately returned the favor with clasped fists: "I've seen the factory supervisor before" but his eyes were still full of curiosity.
Chang Yu secretly smiled in his heart, young man, do you feel a strange feeling? That's because I am your savior. In the original history, Prince Dai asked Jiang Gu to be shot. When the rebel army came to the city, Prince Dai was there.
When the people on the city were guarding the city.
Without saying much, everyone immediately entered the city.
"Is there anything unusual at the General Military Mansion?" Chang Yu asked Wei Jingyuan beside him.
"A little restless, but no conflict." Wei Jingyuan said, looking back at Jiang Yu and the others: "How to deal with it? Let's take him to the barracks for guarding first. It will be safer." Before he thought, Chang Yu had already killed Jiang Yu in the mountain.
, it was unexpected but was captured without a single blow, but this person was a hot potato with deep roots in Datong. If he was not handled properly, something would happen, so it was temporarily safest to put him under pressure in the military camp.
But Chang Yu smiled and said something Wei Jingyuan had never heard before: "Public trial!"
However, he soon learned that Chang Yu's so-called public trial was held on the street in front of the Xicheng military camp, and people were allowed to watch.
But the review process is extremely simple.
More than ten people from Jiang Quan were loosened and shackled, and they gathered together in one place. Chang Yu was sitting on a chair, with a table in front of him, with pen and paper on the table.
Looking at Jiang Gan and others, Chang Yu's face was solemn: "In front of the people of Datong, Jiang Gan, you can plead guilty yourself. Of course, if you feel so inappropriate, the governor can send you to Jinyiwei or the imperial prison in Dongchang, where
Someone will accompany you to slowly confess your sins, and you can weigh it yourself. If you don't mind the long journey, there are also guards here, and the governor has four guards who are very good at taking care of people!"
Jiang Gan's face was ashen. He knew that he had no way out. He would die regardless of whether he confessed or not. In this case, it was better to live happily and suffer less as Chang Yu said. The imperial prisons of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were not places for human beings.
So Jiang Quan had to take a pen and paper and write down the charges, assassinating the director of the Dongchang factory and the commander of the Jinyiwei. These two items alone would definitely lead to death. This guy may have had a conscience before his death, and tried his best to take work for himself, in an attempt to alleviate the sins of his cronies.
.
After writing the evidence of the crime, Hua Cuan pressed his fingerprints. Jiang Quan stood blankly on one side, raised his head and looked around. He knew that soon he would be taken to the capital and thrown into a prison, where his head would fall to the ground after Chongzhen issued an imperial edict.
While he was remembering him, his cronies such as Han Lin and others also began to plead guilty, but they all avoided the important and favored the easy. Chang Yu sneered and did not take it seriously.
After everyone confessed their sins, Chang Yu read them out one by one to the people who were watching. They were all shocked. The dignified commander-in-chief actually assassinated the factory director of the East Factory and the commander of the Jinyi Guard. There was an uproar for a while and rumors spread everywhere.
"The witnesses, physical evidence and confessions are all there. Do you have any objections?" After reading more than ten charges, Chang Yu stood up and glared at Jiang Yu and shouted coldly.
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly: "No objection!"
"No objections! Anyone who comes will be executed immediately!"
What? Kill it! And all of it!
Chang Yu's words immediately made everyone stare in shock. Not to mention Jiang Yu and others' gnashing of teeth, even Wang Jimo, Wei Jingyuan and others were also shocked and looked puzzled!
"How dare you bully us, you eunuch!" Han Lin and the others couldn't help but cursed. The only agreement was that they would be guilty of implicating others and that those who abandoned their weapons would be given a lighter sentence. How come they all had to be beheaded!
Jiang Yan even closed his eyes and cried loudly: "Should I hate it, shouldn't I hate it..."
I just don't know if he wished he had murderous intentions towards Chang Yu, or if he wished he could just be captured in the mountains before.
However, it was too late. No matter how they wailed, begged or even cursed, Chang Yu sneered and remained unmoved. Then these ten people were directly chopped down at the street in front of the military camp in front of hundreds of people watching.
Here we go, the executioner, the Jin Yiwei.
Wang Jimo's face turned dark, and he watched Jiang Quan and others' heads fall to the ground, while Wei Jingyuan just shook his head in confusion. He didn't understand why Chang Yu did this. If he resisted arrest in the mountains, he would kill him. But now that he has been interrogated, according to the rules
Although your Dongchang has the power to independently interrogate and determine sentences without going through the Three Justices, executions must be approved by the emperor.
But how did he know about Chang Yu's difficulties, and how did he know that Chang Yu was taking the blame.
Jiang Quan was a scourge, and later generations even concluded that the Ming Dynasty perished due to Jiang Quan. Although this statement is a bit extreme, and there were too many factors for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Quan was indeed "indispensable" because he opened the west gate of the capital, allowing the rebel army to
It was an easy journey to the door of Chongzhen’s house.
Chang Yu naturally wanted to kill him, just like Chongzhen also wanted to kill Jiang Yu because of the "Prince's Dream", but they both faced a problem, what was the excuse to kill him? After all, Jiang Yu's surrender to the enemy had not happened yet.
, you can’t make an unfounded accusation.
Just when Chang Yu was in trouble for this, and even planned to come back from Taiyuan to deal with Jiang Quan in the name of checking food and wages, Jiang Quan gave him a chance and sent his head over, so he killed him conveniently.
Just now Wei Jingyuan was still questioning that he did not have the right to execute. Indeed, Dongchang did not have it, but Chang Yu did. That was the imperial edict: kill first and then report!
However, these four words sounded very majestic, and only Chang Yu knew that this was just a big black pot given to him by Chongzhen.
I said before that Chongzhen also had the intention to kill Jiang Yu, but it has not happened yet and there is no proof. So what should we do? Naturally, we can only let Chang Yu "act according to the situation"
Now Chang Yu has obtained evidence that he can kill Jiang Quan, but if he is sent to the capital, Chongzhen will be in even more trouble. The bandit army is advancing eastward and a general will be killed in such a situation. Those courtiers and the Donglin Party can scold him to death. If he kills him,
If it leads to a mutiny or failure to defend the city, or fails to suppress the bandits, the pressure from public opinion will be even greater, and another self-indictment may be issued!
But it was different after Chang Yusheng was given the power to kill. You were the one who killed the person, and the public opinion was directed to criticize you Chang Yu, just like Wei Zhongxian.
Moreover, if killing Jiang Quan causes bad consequences, such as mutiny, etc., then Chang Yu will naturally be responsible for resisting and become a sinner for the ages.
Therefore, it seems that Shang Fang's sword is to kill first and then show off, but it is actually a big black pot. However, even if Chang Yu sees through it, he still has to carry it, but he is willing to do so.
At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, and Jiang Quan and his men fell asleep. The body had been covered up, leaving only blood on the street, and more and more people watching and talking about why this powerful Datong general was executed.
There are different opinions, but the main plot always revolves around the assassination of the factory governor of the East Factory and the commander of the Jinyiwei.
As for why he wanted to assassinate the two adults, it was said that the two adults came from the capital to investigate the food and salary embezzlement case. Jiang Quan knew that it was inevitable, so he took the risk...
So the common people in Datong spread the word that Jiang Quan had taken corruption and bribes, and took a desperate risk to assassinate the Jin Yiwei who came to investigate the case... everyone clapped their hands and cheered.
To guide the direction of public opinion, Chang Yu, a person from later generations, knows how to operate better.
Killing Jiang Quan was only a temporary solution, and it still treated the symptoms of Datong's military system but not the root cause. But since Chang Yu had already taken the knife, he planned to cure it completely.
In front of the military camp, Chang Yu, the youngest and most handsome factory supervisor in the Ming Dynasty, was giving orders: "There is a curfew tonight. Wang Jimo will go to deal with the food and grass matters immediately. Wei Jingyuan will take over the military affairs of Datong. He will immediately start to strictly investigate the case of vacancies in the army. All the military affairs in the past will be carried out."
Those who violate laws and disciplines will not be punished!"
Yes, you read that right, Chang Yu did give the order to forget about the past and only investigate but not hold people accountable.
This is also forced by the current situation, because he knows that if he continues to investigate at this time, Datong's military system will definitely collapse! Of course, it is not just Datong, but the entire Ming Dynasty is as black as crows at this time.
At this moment, the military system must not be allowed to collapse, and if the investigation continues, there will inevitably be worries about military chaos, so Chang Yu has no choice but to issue this order. He just wants to know the exact strength and armament of Datong at this time, and does not hold anyone responsible.
.
"After checking the Xuan Mansion in Datong, I want the most authentic figures." Chang Yu looked at Wei Jingyuan with a cautious look on his face. It would be best to leave this matter to him. He is honest and loyal. He is one of the few capable officials in the Ming Dynasty.
.As for Wang Chengyin having been refrigerated, he must have had some idea in his mind. What else could he do about the so-called food and grass matters? It was just transporting it from the palace to the military camp.
"Before the inspection, we should first stabilize the morale of the army and pass it on to others. Let bygones be bygones, but if you commit another crime in the future, you will be given a higher grade. Also, it is best to send military pay directly to the soldiers to avoid layer upon layer of exploitation." Before Wei Jingyuan set off,
Chang Yu earnestly reminded him and sent two of his subordinates to assist. Wu Mengming also assigned more than fifty Jinyi guards.
After Wei Jingyuan left, Chang Yu mentioned Wang Jimo again: "Governor Wang, the military situation in Taiyuan is urgent. Food and grass matters are the foundation of the army and should not be taken lightly. After that, please help Master Wei to check the military affairs of Xuanda.
Please go to Taiyuan as soon as you are done."
Wang Jimo's face was burning at this time. What Chang Yu said was really a slap in the face. He was the Governor of Xuanda, and his duty was to manage the food, grass, military pay and military affairs of the three prefectures and towns of Xuanda, but now he was only allowed to be a porter.
He said that he would also assist a Datong governor to handle the military affairs of Xuanda. This was not a slap in the face or anything.
Although his face was bruised and swollen from the beating, he was helpless. Even though he was angry, he did not dare to do anything rebellious like Jiang Quan. Moreover, at this time, he still had some admiration for Chang Yu. His own governor, Xuan Yu, was short of food and salary.
This little eunuch had only been in Datong for three days, and he had filled up the military camp with everything he had. Even if it was borrowed, it was still a skill to be able to borrow it.
Of course, the most frustrating thing for him was that Jiang Quan, who had a lot of troops in his hands, was killed by this little eunuch. Although he had no fault as the governor of Xuanda, he had not made much achievements. If he was ignored at this time, he would obviously become an outcast.
It's just a matter of an imperial edict. The reason why the young eunuch hasn't kicked him out directly is because although he has the power of life and death, he does not have the power of appointment or dismissal.
Wei Jingyuan went to the barracks to appease the soldiers, Wang Jimo continued to work as a food porter, and Wu Mengming actually left the city towards Taiyuan at this time, and he was ordered to urge reinforcements.
Everyone performs their duties, and the remaining Chang Yu is not idle either. He wants to fulfill his promise to Jiang Yu. Since his family has been destroyed, it is necessary to confiscate the family!
