Chapter 359 The Wrath of the Emperor, Luoshui flowing with blood
"Read it, keep reading it for me." Liu Hong said coldly, without any emotion in his words.
After all, there are not only Feng Xu and Xu Feng in the list, but also other ministers.
He Jin naturally nodded in agreement. After all, if it weren't for Huangfu Song yesterday, he would have been almost killed by the Yellow Turban rebels, so he immediately vented his anger on the list.
As He Jin began to read out the list, a pindrop could be heard above the hall, and there was silence. Several officials whose names were called out collapsed on the ground, their eyes dull, as if they were completely dead.
At this time, the Yulin army who had been waiting outside immediately went to the hall and pulled these dead officials out of the hall. The result can be imagined.
In this way, half an hour passed. He Jin had been reading here for such a long time. One can imagine how many people were involved in the list.
Of course, this list is not complete, because many people were captured by Wang Yu in advance and became his spies in Luoyang, so naturally they are not included in these lists.
Once here, the identity of the person who sent this list was revealed. This person is Wang Yu.
When he left Luoyang, he left Dongfang Liancheng behind. After all, the latter was also a strong man in the Heaven Transformation Realm, so he could deliver this letter to Emperor Ling without anyone noticing. p>
However, before leaving, Wang Yu told Dongfang Liancheng that they must wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion completely breaks out before sending out this information, so as to reduce the losses of the Yellow Turbans to a certain extent and prevent them from revolting in advance.
At the same time, it can also reduce their power in Luoyang and avoid some unexpected things from happening.
Now is the time.
……………
At this moment, above the Nangong Golden Palace.
General He Jin began to read from the list. Whenever a name came out of his mouth, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong would stare closely at the face of the person who read the name, and then say a word coldly.<
/p>
Some are killed.
Some are cut.
Some are cracked.
Some are beheaded.
The so-called "cutting" is the legendary "cutting with thousands of cuts", which is to use a knife to cut off the flesh of the victim's body piece by piece in public. The victim is not allowed to die immediately, but has to endure the pain of nearly a thousand cuts.
The victim will be tortured for a long time before dying in pain.
It is worth mentioning that the punishment of mutilation appeared in the Han Dynasty, not even the Qin Dynasty, which was famous for its torture.
The first person to eat crabs was the court painter Mao Yanshou. When Emperor Han Yuan chose his concubine, there were no photos at that time, so he asked the painter to draw them for Emperor Han Yuan to see.
As a result, this guy, because he had confiscated Wang Zhaojun's money, deliberately used tricks to give Wang Zhaojun a very unlucky mole with tears of tears. As a result, Wang Zhaojun was despised by Emperor Han Yuan and could not see him again.
Later, when the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu needed to intermarry, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty directly selected Wang Zhaojun, an ugly man who had lost his husband in tears, in the portrait to intermarry with the Xiongnu.
But he never thought that after he saw the real person with his own eyes, he would cry instantly.
Didn’t you say ugly girl?
Why are you so beautiful?
You even asked me to give it to the Huns.
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty instantly felt that he had been tricked by the painter. The emperor's anger was so terrifying that he directly vented his anger on the painter Mao Yanshou and cut him to death in order to relieve his hatred.
Because of himself, this man was the first person in history to receive the punishment of Ling Chi and Gua.
However, at this time, the punishment of scraping had not been officially written into the law, and was only used as a punishment for the emperor's own mood. It can be said that those who can be punished are all officials who hold important positions in the court.
And the punishment of splitting is naturally the splitting of a car;
Beheading is not a beheading in name, but a beheading. The feeling is really hard to describe in words. Relatively speaking, the word "kill" seems very merciful, it is just beheading.
But at this time, beheading was not so easy, because the emperor was very angry and directly ordered the beheading. He could not kill with one sword, but had to chop two or three times before the head fell to the ground.
But even so, the officials who received this word had to be grateful, because compared with the punishment of being cut to pieces, this was already a very light punishment, and they all shouted for mercy, Your Majesty.
After reading all the names on the list, He Jin immediately turned around and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are 276 names on the list. Excluding the thieves, there are a total of 146 officials, big and small, in Luoyang City.
Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
"There's no need to read it, I believe in General Hussar." Liu Hongdao, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, directly threw the list aside. He was angry just by looking at it.
"General Hussars, now that the Yellow Turban rebels are powerful and have millions of people connected, how do you think we should deal with them?" Liu Hong pressed his temples with his hands and calmed down before saying.
"Your Majesty, although the Yellow Turban rebels are powerful, they are still a mob. The victory they achieved this time was just a surprise to our Han army."
"Faced with such a rabble, we only need to send our generals who are good at fighting, and they can be easily eliminated." He Jin talked eloquently on the Golden Palace, not taking the Yellow Turban Army seriously at all. p>
Liu Hong didn't say anything when he heard this, he just shook his head in his heart and directly called He Jin a stupid pig.
The Yellow Turban Army was able to connect millions of people, and no one even noticed it. It was not until the rebellion started that there was a little bit of news. This is enough to prove that this rebellion is really extraordinary.
However, Liu Hong did not take immediate countermeasures against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He only promoted He Jin and Xiao Mohe in public.
One is the highest general in the country, and the other is the hussar general who is the second in command of the generals.
He Jin, the great general, can control the garrison in the entire Gyeongsang region and can be said to have the military power of the country, while Xiao Mohe serves as his deputy and also plays a supervisory role.
After all, He Jin, a stupid pig, could easily be deceived by those cunning aristocratic families if he didn't have anyone to advise him. Besides, when it comes to leading an army, Xiao Mohe could beat him a hundred times.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong sent five schools of the Northern Army under the command of General Xiao Mohe to station troops in Duting, Luoyang, and train day and night to prepare for emergencies.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Xiao Mohe's army commanding ability may not be as good as Huangfu Song's, but looking at the Han Dynasty, he is also among the best. In addition, he is Liu Hong's confidant, so Liu Hong has complete confidence in him.
After taking control of the troops and horses in Luoyang City, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not let go of the control of the eight passes of Luoyang. He directly controlled the Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Fuyuan, and Revolving Gate.
, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other eight major Kyoto passes, the eight pass captains were appointed to oversee the military and political affairs of the eight passes and guard the security of Kyoto.
As for the local prefectures and counties, since the imperial court was unable to reach them, Liu Hong just issued an order to take strict precautions. At the same time, he ordered the prefectures and prefectures to prepare for war, increase the training of soldiers, and prepare weapons so that they could recruit troops and horses appropriately for self-protection. p>
As soon as these words came out, the remaining civil and military ministers had different expressions on their faces. For example, the aristocratic families were full of joy because the emperor had opened the door to recruit troops on his own.
But those who were loyal to the Han Dynasty couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling. There was nothing wrong with the emperor's layout focusing on the capital. After all, the capital was an important area. Just like the Nangong riot this time, if the Yellow Turban rebels really broke into the palace,
That would be really unimaginable.
However, they did not agree with the emperor's order for the local states and counties to recruit appropriate troops for self-protection. However, the emperor had already said it, so what could they do if they did not agree?
However, His Highness Liu Yu couldn't help it. Yesterday morning, Liu Hong was angry with him. He wanted to object at that time, but under Liu Yan's eyes, he didn't say it out.
Now, under the Golden Palace, he couldn't help it, because there was no way to define the word "appropriate".
Liu Yu actually didn't think much of the Yellow Turban Army. After all, the Han Dynasty was a behemoth. Even if the Yellow Turbans could win a temporary victory, it would be difficult to sustain it.
However, once the imperial court allows local officials to recruit troops, the harm caused will definitely be no less than that of the Yellow Turban bandits, because the vast majority of local officials are descendants of aristocratic families, and they only have family in mind, not the country.
Once they have military power, they will inevitably lose their power. This is the real trouble.
Although Liu Yu knew that Liu Hong was setting the bait to make the noble family and the yellow scarf dog bite the dog, Liu Yu did not think that the noble family would take the bait easily.
Therefore, Liu Yu was ready to admonish him on the spot, but before he could say anything, Liu Yan and Liu Che beside him grabbed his sleeves tightly. Liu Yu quickly turned around and found that Liu Yan and Liu Che kept winking at him. Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself, because he knew very well that even if he gave advice, it would be of no use, so fortunately he gave up the advice and kept silent.
As for He Jin, when he heard that the emperor had indeed granted him the title of general, he was so happy that he quickly knelt down in the tunnel and said, "My lord, thank God for your grace!"
Although the emperor mentioned it in Yuntai Pavilion yesterday morning that he wanted to make him a general, in fact he was still not very sure, especially after discovering such a thing.
But now, after the dust settled, He Jin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since his sister became the queen of the Han Dynasty, his promotion was like a rocket, rising slowly, and now he has become a general.
It can be said that he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
He Jin: "?*??(ˊ?ˋ*)??*?"
Compared to He Jin who was beaming with joy, Xiao Mohe seemed much calmer. After thanking the emperor in public for his great kindness, he stood aside and the quality of the two could be judged immediately.
After firmly grasping the military power of Luoyang in his own hands, Liu Hong spoke again: "The Yellow Turban rebels unite millions of people, even if they are a mob, they cannot be underestimated."
"At the beginning, in the Battle of Mobei, almost all the elites of our Han Dynasty were lost. Therefore, I also plan to recruit talented people to fill the army and reproduce the original military might of the Han Dynasty."
"Therefore, after you go back, you must spread the news of recruiting talented people. If you are the descendants of our Han generals, or people with profound strategic knowledge among the people, you can go to the Public Transport Department to be interviewed by the examiner. As long as you have talent, you can
Even if you have a body, I won’t hesitate to grant you a gift!”
Above the Golden Palace, as soon as Liu Hong said these words, Lieutenant Yang Ci and Sikong Yuan Weiju frowned, because this meant that the emperor was about to seize military power!
However, the emperor was angry at the moment, and it happened to coincide with the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The time for him to raise this sentence was just right. Even they could not object and could only reply with an obedience. You can imagine the depression in it.
Just when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs thought that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty would announce a response to the Yellow Turban Army elsewhere, Liu Hong suddenly ordered a retreat. This operation really puzzled them.
But Yang Ci, Yuan Wei, and Wang Yun seemed to have thought of something.
…………
At the same time, falling into the water!
It was spring at this time, and the surging river flowed eastward, and the clear river water swirled forward. It seemed like a beautiful scene, but it was not the case.
Because, the next few days will be a killing day.
I saw twenty prisoners in prison uniforms being escorted here by the Luoshui River. There were men and women among them. They were pushed to the ground by soldiers and knelt down in Shuangxi. All of them had expressionless faces.
"Behead!" a Yulin Army general shouted fiercely.
Following his order, the twenty axemen immediately raised their swords and fell with their swords. However, the first blow did not kill the person immediately because the emperor had given an order in the court that a person must be hacked to death with two or more blows. The pain experienced during this process cannot be described in words.
As the executioner struck his second blow, the twenty heads fell into the water. After two blood bubbles appeared, they disappeared.
These headless corpses were not buried on the spot by the Yulin Army, or they were thrown into a random grave. Instead, they were lifted up and piled aside, stacked with other corpses to form a Jingguan.<
/p>
Since they had just been beheaded, a lot of fresh blood was still sprayed on the necks of the corpses. As more and more condemned prisoners were killed, the blood had dyed the earth red and formed a small stream flowing into the river.<
/p>
The general of the Yulin Army was none other than Ren Zhong, whom Xiao Mohe was born to carry. He was also a rare war god and fierce general in the Han Dynasty, so he was highly valued by Liu Hong.
Just like the killing of rebels this time, Liu Hong left it to him. From the first wave to the present, Ren Zhong can no longer remember how many waves he has killed.
Three or four hours have passed since morning. Yao is as powerful as the God of War. His voice is a little hoarse at the moment. After all, he has been shouting for four hours in a row, and his throat is almost smoking.
It is precisely because of the long time that the knife and axe-hands have gained experience in chopping, so that the deceased's death is not as miserable as possible. The first knife is just a cut, not too deep into the flesh.
Like the first batch, it was miserable. The ghost-head knife penetrated an inch or two into the flesh. It can be said that they were not hacked to death, but were pained to death alive.
Now, Ren Zhong has replaced three batches of executioners alone. After all, he killed so many people at once, and even an executioner who is engaged in the beheading industry cannot carry on forever.
Due to the emperor's order, the executioner had to chop at least two knives on a person's head. With such a large number of death row prisoners, Ren Zhong didn't know how many ghost-head knives he needed for execution and beheading!
