Chen Wenyue, Minister of War, felt that the massacre in front of him was a dream, an unspeakable nightmare.
A minute ago, he was still wondering to what extent Li Zhi would give benefits to the civil servants, and to what extent the civil servants could negotiate the tax-free rights of the gentry in Jiangnan. Just now, Chen Wenyue had regarded Li Zhi as a weak-minded young man. You must know that Li Zhi was watching Wu Sangui Lingchi.
He keeps his eyes closed all the time, which shows his inner weakness.
Chen Wenyue is a veteran in playing power. A minute ago, Chen Wenyue thought: Since Li Zhi decided to banquet the civil servants at his home, since Li Zhi decided to lead the civil servants to collectively worship the sky to demonstrate to the emperor, and since Li Zhi decided to cooperate with the civil servants, then in the future
Sooner or later, the court will be decided by the civil servants.
How could Li Zhi, a young man in his thirties, compete with thousands of scheming scholars inside and outside the court?
A minute ago, Chen Wenyue was still thinking about how to make further progress.
A minute later, Chen Wenyue realized that everything he thought was a dream.
Li Zhi had never planned to unite with civil servants, let alone compete with these old Jinshi.
Li Zhi simply and crudely used the unrivaled power of the Tianjin system to sweep everything.
The vegetable field in front of me was already a hell filled with corpses.
Almost all the low-ranking civil servants outside the vegetable field have fallen, scattered like dead pigs randomly placed in a slaughterhouse. Some civil servants who are not dead are constantly bleeding from their bodies, and they are lying in the ridges of the vegetable field.
Moaning, it seemed that he wanted to use his last strength to ask for some help.
However, what they asked for was only the steel knife of the Tiger Army. The soldiers of the Tiger Army stopped shooting and prepared to use bayonets to deal with the last civilian officials. The soldiers moved forward while cleaning the battlefield, and stabbed the sharp bayonets into the bodies of the civilian officials on the ground, ensuring that
No civil servant pretending to be dead or half-dead could escape this massacre.
When the steel blade entered their bodies, the bodies of the half-dead civil servants twitched violently a few times, and then died in great pain.
All the civil servants on the outside were beaten to death and stabbed to death, leaving only the two hundred or so highest-ranking officials in the middle. These senior civil servants were different from the civil servants outside. They all wore bright red official robes.
Seeing the tragic situation on the outside, more than two hundred senior civil servants in red robes were trembling and squeezing toward the center.
Some people were so frightened that they became incontinent, and their feces and urine flowed down from under their official robes made of fine silk, making the already smelly vegetable fields smelly.
Some civil servants were frightened out of their minds. When they were on the line between life and death, the most selfish nature of these civil servants was exposed. They crowded into the middle of the civil servants like crazy, trying to squeeze other civil servants to the outside to block the bayonets.
But how could the civil servants inside be willing to go to the outside and be beaten to death? At the critical moment of life and death, the civil servants inside desperately pushed and pushed the outside civil servants who were crowding in, trying to keep their positions.
From Li Zhi's point of view, the last two hundred civil servants alive started fighting among themselves.
Chen Wenyue's face was full of disbelief, and he just hoped that the tragic scene in front of him was a nightmare. He pinched his thigh hard, hoping that he could wake up from this nightmare.
However, the reality disappointed Chen Wenyue. He pinched himself harder and harder, which only made the massacre in front of him clearer.
The soldiers of the Huben Army walked up to the high-ranking civil servants with their bayonets raised.
"kill!"
The bayonet thrust forward suddenly, accurately and cruelly. In an instant, dozens of high-ranking civil servants in red robes were penetrated by the steel blade, and they screamed like pigs being killed.
The bayonet was pulled back, and blood spurts more than two meters high spurted out from the body where the knife had hit him.
Chen Wenyue saw many familiar figures being stabbed.
Zhai Rengui, the Minister of Punishment, had his stomach cut open with a bayonet. He looked at his stomach in disbelief and stayed there for two seconds.
As an "official" of the Ministry of Punishments, Zhai Rengui would always be cheering and cheering wherever he went. He could decide the outcome of various cases, life or death with just a few gestures. He could not have imagined that one day he would be broken into.
His belly was taken away from his life.
He originally thought that his favored son was so smart that he contacted Shi Kefa to provide information before Jiangbei's army broke through the city. After Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui took control of the capital, they could make further progress. Unexpectedly, the letter would become his
The reminder of death.
Seeing that Zhai Rengui was not stabbed to death, the Tiger Soldier soldier in front of him stabbed forward again, this time stabbing Zhai Rengui in the chest.
Zhai Rengui's eyes widened, but he still did not cry out. He just held the bayonet that had penetrated his body with his hand.
The bayonet retracted and blood spattered. Zhai Rengui finally let out a scream, fell back and fell to the ground, his body twitching in the pool of blood.
The soldiers of the Huben Army stabbed the convulsing Zhai Rengui again until he turned into a corpse that could not move.
Dong Jiuqi was already in tears. He knelt down on the field ridge with a plop and said loudly in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, King Qi, we dare not make any conditions to King Qi anymore. King Qi will spare us, and we will be King Qi's slaves for the rest of our lives."
Drive in front of the tent."
The seventy-year-old man knocked his head deeply against the field ridge, then raised his head and looked at Li Zhi nervously.
Li Zhi ignored him.
"Your Highness! Your Highness a thousand years old! Long live your Highness! Show mercy!"
Li Zhi didn't even look at the old man's plea for mercy.
Jiang Chong, the commander of the Huben Army, shouted loudly: "The shameless traitor is liaising with the Jiangbei Army and is treasonous to the country. Kill him!"
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Huben Army shouted "kill" in unison, thrust forward with their bayonets, and stabbed to death dozens of high-ranking ministers wearing red robes.
Chen Wenyue's face was as pale as paper. He saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Minister of Taipu Temple, and the Minister of Military Affairs died tragically at one time under the swords of the Huben Army.
It was called rolling and turned into a corpse lying in the vegetable field.
These are the courtiers who face the emperor every day.
Putting these figures in the local area, who is not a powerful man with thousands of acres of fertile land? But in Li Zhi's hands, the lives of these important ministers are as fragile as a piece of paper, and they will be gone with a stab of a bayonet.
.
The Tiger and Ben soldiers with bayonets in hand continued to advance, killing people deeper into the civilian ranks.
Facing the ferocious soldiers of the Tiger Army, Tan Yunsong, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, was already trembling with fear. He stared and shouted loudly: "I am a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Second Assistant to the Cabinet. Who dares to kill me?"
However, the position of Second Assistant to the Cabinet could not save Tan Yunsong.
Jiang Chong shouted loudly: "Tan Yunsong, the Jiangbei Army was able to subdue 30,000 people in the border towns in Shanxi. You contributed a lot. If it weren't for your five letters, Shanxi's generals and generals might not have dared to rebel with Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui. You
You are already dead in the name of treason, even if you are cut into pieces with a thousand swords, you will still be considered light."
Tan Yunsong didn't expect that his confidential letter had fallen into Li Zhi's hands. He stared at Jiang Chong with wide eyes and then at Li Zhi, speechless.
The soldier in front of Tan Yunsong raised his bayonet back hard to gather strength, and then thrust the bayonet into Tan Yunsong's chest. Tan Yunsong hurriedly hid to the right, but was not as fast as the tiger soldier's sword, and was stabbed hard by the bayonet.
Entered the right chest.
"ah"
Tan Yunsong gritted his teeth and let out a suppressed scream, then his chest froze and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The soldiers of the Huben Army stepped on Tan Yunsong's chest and drew back his bayonet.
Blood mist sprayed out, and the Second Assistant to the Cabinet took a few steps back and fell onto the vegetable field with a plop, on top of several trampled green vegetables.
The soldiers of the Huben Army stabbed Tan Yunsong who fell to the ground again until the traitor was completely stabbed to death before turning to the next target.
