Chapter 189 The Great Cleaning(1/2)
Wang Yue, who didn't know that the great painter had quietly begun his revenge, then set off from Tianjin and returned to Yanshan City.
But he did not see Wang Anzhong.
Lao Wang is not stupid. Taishi Tong really wants to keep him and kill him, Wang Yue, to show goodwill to Wang Yue and temporarily repair the actual confrontation between the two sides. However, Lao Wang was very clever and abandoned his post and fled, not just Wang Anzhong. The officials who had been appointed in Yanshanfu Road had all abandoned their posts and fled for various reasons...
Although great painters actually want them to stick to their posts.
After all, Wang Yue was just a pacification commander appointed by the court. He did not have the right to appoint officials from various prefectures, prefectures and counties. These people were appointed by the court, so Wang Yue had no right to drive them away. They could intrigue with Wang Yue from the inside within the Yanshan Prefecture Road.
Use this to restrain him.
but……
Those officials are stupid?
Wang Yue could even cut the three dukes in half in public, and turned around and let them be stolen, killed, fell into the water, and choked to death by eating. Isn’t this just a saying?
Everyone is an official to make money, not to commit suicide.
What's more, the Jurchens will inevitably go south next. They have been killed by Xiao Gan several times in Yuyang before. The Jurchens will not care whose official positions they are when they come again. In short, it is his business for the officials to fight with Wang Yue, but these officials would rather not be officials than run away.
The fine traditions of officials in the Song Dynasty.
In the first Kaifeng Battle in history, the Jin army had recorded records of more than 50 officials running away on the same day before the Jin army crossed the Yellow River.
When Wang Yue stepped into Yanshan City, there was no longer a Song Dynasty official here except the Changsheng Army system.
The city is in a vast field.
The Yanshan Changsheng Army, which has expanded to 20,000, has lined up.
On the city wall behind them, 20,000 Yan King Guards were also ready for battle.
In front of them, there were 12,000 Kaifeng Ever Victory Army waiting for battle, while Duke Yan was wearing his armor and slowly walked through the middle with his giant sword. The blade was shaking from time to time on the ground. The harsh friction sound made the whole field look weird and silence...
"I don't want to say anything more!"
Wang Yue said as he walked.
The harsh friction continued to ring behind him.
"I know that some people are sorry for me after I left, but they are all old brothers, and I don't want to make things too difficult for them. Now I hope they will come out by themselves and admit what they have done. I will spare his life and let him take his family to the court's territory."
He continued.
The generals of the Yanshan Ever Victory Army looked at each other.
Then Han Chang came out...
"When he returned to the Grand Marshal, Wang Anzhong took five thousand silver coins to the Grand Marshal, saying that the Grand Marshal would not come back after entering the court. In the future, the Grand Marshal would listen to him. The Grand Marshal said that the Grand Marshal would be an official in the court and had the military pay from the court. He dared not take his money anymore, so he turned it off. Later, he took three thousand silver coins, saying that the Grand Marshal was in chaos in the capital and had been killed by the court. The Grand Marshal said that this was a rumor and he also returned it."
He said on his knees.
"You didn't disappoint me, but I'm sorry!"
Wang Yue said.
Then he waved his hand, someone came over from behind. Wang Yue picked up the box, and the axe in his hand instantly cut off the lid. In awe, he burst into a box of money from Han Chang's head. In an instant, Han Chang was flooded by the golden rain...
"Reward you!"
Wang Yue threw the box in front of him and said.
Han Chang screamed like crazy and suddenly rushed into the world of gold.
"So, let me ask you the last time, who has done something that I'm sorry for me?"
Wang Yue asked again.
In the end, no one came forward to admit it.
Wang Yue sighed helplessly.
"Then you all missed the opportunity I gave you, and now, start reporting!"
He continued.
The soldiers and the middle and lower-level officers looked at each other, and then a small officer walked out...
"The small commander of the second battalion of the 1st Infantry Brigade Zhao Hu reported the battalion commander He Zhong. After the Grandmaster left, he claimed in public that we were all soldiers of the court, and the imperial envoy was sent by the imperial court. We only need to listen to the Grandmaster's words. It is the same whether the Grandmaster will come back or not. Later, it was said that the Grandmaster was beheaded by the imperial court in rebellion in the capital."
He saluted and said.
"You are accusing you out of thin air, and the general has never said it."
Originally, Zhang Linghui's general He Zhong was so scared that he ran out and knelt down and said.
"The Grand Commander, the youngest is Li Wu, the personal soldier of Captain He, and the youngest testified. He did say that, and he also collected a box of silver and money from Wang Anzhong."
A soldier came out to salute and said.
Then more officers and soldiers came out to testify, and He Zhong lay there and sweat broke out in an instant.
"Then you can slaughter yourself!"
Wang Yue walked up to him and said.
"The Grand Marshal, the young man reported the brigade commander Zhen Wuchen. He took Wang Anzhong five thousand silver coins. Those words were all deliberately spread by him. He said that Wang Anzhong wanted to deal with the Grand Marshal. Following the Grand Marshal was to be an enemy of the Southern Dynasty emperor, and his military salary and food were gone in the future. Following Wang Anzhong was to follow the Southern Dynasty emperor. In the future, he wanted money and women. When the Grand Marshal came to the capital, he would inevitably refuse to hand over military power. He would inevitably make trouble and force the emperor. Then the young man would just ignore it."
He Zhong said lying at his feet.
"How did you, a guy, defame someone innocence out of thin air? When did I say this?"
Zhen Wuchen said angrily.
But then several battalion commanders under his command stood up to testify to He Zhong. These people were not stupid, and Wang Yue clearly wanted to purify them. I'm afraid that they had known these things for a long time. The battalion commanders all collected money, and the most important thing at this time was to sell him to save his life.
Zhen Wuchen stood there with a gloomy face as these guys testified.
"So, are you stolen or do you want me to do it?"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Brothers, we have all taken Wang Anzhong's benefits. Do you want to sit there and wait for death?"
Zhen Wuchen suddenly yelled at Liu Shunren and others.
At the same time, he suddenly drew his sword, but before he could stab Wang Yue, the arc of the Mo Dao flashed across his eyes, and then he broke into two halves and fell to the ground...
"It seems you want me to do it."
Wang Yue said calmly amid his screams.
Then he looked at Liu Shunren and the other one. The next moment, Liu Shunren suddenly turned around. He just ran out and roared behind him. The Mo Dao that was spinning and throwing him out instantly cut him off in half, inserted his blood into the place, and he turned into two halves like Zhen Wuchen.
"The last one will commit suicide, and the last one will commit suicide. I just want the Grandmaster to spare the younger family!"
Zhao Heshou was so scared that he knelt down and screamed.
"Can!"
Wang Yue said.
His whole family should have been killed by Yelu Dashi, but it is obvious that the truth is that he has escaped a lot.
The unlucky Zhao Heshou had to pull out the knife and wiped his neck with tears in his face...
"All those who have collected Wang Anzhong's money can now be the same as him. I will spare your family, but if they are reported, then the whole family will be killed together!"
Wang Yue said.
He Zhong pulled out the knife tremblingly, but he could not pull it down. The other battalion commander next to him also pulled out the knife and couldn't use it. Then the two of them looked at each other, silently putting the knife on each other's neck, and then pulled it down hard at the same time...
In the formation behind, people have gradually joined the ranks of suicide.
Wang Yue was watching quietly there, the entire field and the city wall behind him were silent...
No, there was the happy laughter of Han Chang who was shaking gold. This guy was obviously so excited that he forgot everything.
Wang Yue must carry out a cleaning.
He had actually been away for four months. Wang Anzhong had already waved silver bullets to solve these generals and officers. According to the black accounts collected by Xiao Ta Buyan, at least two-thirds of the officers at the battalion level and three brigade commanders except Han Chang had all been bribed by Wang Anzhong. These people patted their chests and promised Lao Wang that even if he came back, they would not accept him. Some of them even charged additional money before Wang Anzhong left to prepare to make trouble for him when necessary.
These people must be thoroughly cleaned.
They are all potential betrayers. Wang Yue didn't want to fight the Jurchens bloody battle, suddenly someone deliberately sold his back to the Jurchens.
This is the task that Wang Anzhong gave to some of them before leaving.
As for the cruel methods...
In this place, if you don’t recognize those who are kind and careless, you will recognize who is more ruthless. In history, the Jurchens later killed them even more ruthlessly, but they all honestly became dogs.
"Everyone likes gold and silver, but you have to understand that you can't take gold and silver that have no life.
You can take the gold and silver I give you, and you can spend it as much as you want, but you can't take the gold and silver I give you, so you will have no life if you take it.
I am your handsome man.
I will guarantee that you all have gold and silver to take.
If I can't do it, then I don't deserve to be your boss.
If I can make everyone have gold and silver to take, then you can't take what others give. What you give others is to be sorry for me, the great handsome man. I only have one way to deal with those who are sorry for me.
To be continued...
