Chapter 311 Is this considered an opening?
Daming, June 12th, [-]th year of Chongzhen, outside the East Gate of Chicheng Castle, Shangbei Road, Xuanzhen Town.

The two official sedan chairs stopped before the soft collapse where Zhang Cheng was lying, and as the curtains of the sedan chairs were lifted, He Chongwu, the soldier of Chicheng, and Qin Shizheng, the commander of Guan Liang, got off the official sedan chairs one after another.

What surprised the two of them was that the two big chairs were placed on Zhang Cheng's left and right sides respectively. The military constitution He Chongwu hadn't made a statement yet, but Guan Liangtong sentenced Qin Shizheng angrily and said, "General Zhang Shen , what does this mean?"

Zhang Cheng was still lying on his back on the slump like he was in the military preparations department, and said weakly and softly: "My lords, don't get angry. In order to calm the hearts and minds of our army and the people of the North Road, I would have decided to kill this culprit who caused troubles on the North Road." The culprit will be shown to the public today.

This general also knows that this move is somewhat inconsistent with my Ming regulations, so I reluctantly decided to act as the chief supervisor and behead the official. This is also for the sake of my lord. One person is in charge. "

He Chongwu stood in the same place and did not move forward. He also bowed his head in thought. Yesterday he received a letter from the Ministry of War, asking him to support Zhang Cheng in training the new army on the North Road. If there is something wrong, he can ask Donglu for support.

While he was in deep thought, Qin Shizheng saw that he did not move forward, so he questioned Zhang Cheng again: "General Zhang, even if this Wu Youlu is guilty, he is a fourth-rank military officer of the imperial court after all, so he should report it to the imperial court and let the Holy Majesty decide. , before it can be disposed of.”

"Cough cough cough..."

After Zhang Cheng coughed for a while, he raised his head reluctantly, and said to him weakly: "How could Zhang Cheng not know what Lord Qin said.

It's just that the situation is urgent, and now my heart is fluctuating when I go to the North Road, and there is chaos between my elbows and armpits. I have no choice but to borrow the head of Wu Xue against the party to stabilize my situation on the North Road. Fortunately, His Majesty gave me a sword last time ,
The Holy Majesty's original intention was for Zhang Cheng to use the three-foot green front to drive back the invaders. Fortunately, the soldiers of the three armies fought bravely and finally drove the Tartars back. Today's matter is urgent, so I have to ask for the imperial sword again. Kill all the traitors in the chaotic country. "

Having said this, Zhang Cheng stopped again, and he gasped for breath for a while, but when Qin Shizheng was about to speak again, Zhang Cheng preemptively said: "I also know that the two adults are planning for this general, but Zhang Sincerity only knows how to be loyal and diligent in the king's affairs, and do my best for the future of my Ming Dynasty. How can I ignore the safety of Beilu for the sake of my own safety and future.

That's why I made a good idea and assumed the position of chief supervisor and beheaded officials. If the court pursues today's matter in the future, Zhang Cheng is also willing to bear it all. Please He Bingxian and Qin Liang judge not to blame this general! "

Qin Shizheng glared at Zhang Cheng angrily, and cursed: "You are a reckless man, you are simply lawless."

He took a step forward and came to the side of He Chongwu, the military equipment, and said softly: "He Bingxian, you and I must not sink into such muddy water!"

"Tiger!"

With a loud shout, the more than [-] sergeants lined up in the north knelt down on one knee, hammering the ground with guns and sticks in their hands, making "dongdong" sounds.

"Tiger!"

The soldiers on the south army formation also knelt on one knee in unison, and the sound of "dong dong dong" became louder.

"Tiger tiger tiger..."

After the formation of the Yunzhou new army in front of the east school field also knelt on one knee, their shouts resounded through the sky for a long time.

He Chongwu's expression was as usual, and his face was also very calm, but Qin Shizheng, who was by his side, was a little panicked, and he said in a trembling voice: "... What are you doing?... What are these Qiu Ba going to do..."

Zhang Cheng raised his hand lightly with some difficulty, Chen Zhong stepped forward and waved his big hand again and again, only to see Chen Zheng and Zhang Guodong galloping in front of the army formation, and after a while, they became silent, without any more noise .

Zhang Cheng's weak voice came again: "My lords, the generals and soldiers are now indignant, and they are already passionate. If we don't kill the traitor immediately, I'm afraid we won't be able to stabilize the morale of the army.
If this makes a big mistake and triggers a mutiny, not only Chicheng will be in chaos, but even the North Road will be difficult to stabilize. If it really comes to that time, I am afraid that Zhang Cheng will be unable to bear it alone! "

He Chongwu's face changed in an instant. He knew that Zhang Cheng was threatening him, but he was not sure whether Zhang Cheng would really encourage the soldiers under his command to launch a mutiny.

He is the soldier of Chicheng, and if there is a mutiny under his rule, He Chongwu will be the first to escape the blame. No matter whether Zhang Cheng is threatening him or not, He Chongwu will not dare to try.

He raised his foot and walked over to Zhang Cheng's left, and sat down on the chair. He bowed his body and said to Zhang Cheng: "General Zhang, no matter what, I think Wu Youlu should be sent to the town. It is the right way to hand it over to Master Liu, the Fuchen."

Before Zhang Cheng could make a statement, Qin Shizheng, who was walking behind He Chongwu and seated on the right side of Zhang Cheng, hurriedly said: "What He Bingxian said is very true, and this official also agrees to take Wu Youlu to Zhencheng, and Liu Fuchen Report to the present majesty for a ruling."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng just smiled and didn't answer. He waved his hand to signal Chen Zhong to start.

As a group of sergeants with big arms and round waists stepped into the square, their naked upper bodies were full of flesh and veins, and each of them held a machete in their arms.

As the wooden sticks were pulled out and thrown on the ground, the people who were tied up in the square burst into heart-piercing cries, which caused commotion among the surrounding military households.

Chen Zhong strode up to Zhang Cheng, and shouted: "Wu Youlu and other 130 people who rebelled against the party are all here, and they have been verified to be upright. The time will come, and I am hereby ordering your execution."

"Let's execute the sentence!" Zhang Cheng said calmly while lying on the soft bed.

After Chen Zhong received the order, he walked towards the middle of the square, but He Chongwu, who was sitting beside Zhang Cheng, said, "How can there be as many as 130 and seven people?"

Zhang Cheng lay on the couch and looked at the Chi Castle in the distance, he just said indifferently: "Wu Youlu and the remnants of Wu Youqing will definitely be exterminated, if weeds are cut and the roots are left, there will be endless disasters.

As for the family members who participated in this matter, they are not as guilty as their family members, so they should be regarded as lenient! "

He Chongwu's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped talking, but his eyes were a little dazed, and he just muttered: "Is this considered a lenient?"

Qin Shizheng sat on the chair blankly with no expression on his face, muttering something unknown.

There was a sneer at the corner of Zhang Cheng's mouth. Everything in front of him was exactly what he wanted. Although the attack on Gudao was an accident, he used it skillfully.

In his heart, he was even a little grateful to Wu Youlu and Xue Liangqing for murdering him. Their behavior gave Zhang Cheng an excellent reason to eliminate the dissatisfied people on Qingbei Road.

He stared coldly at the Chi Castle in the distance, and said coldly: "Those who are going to be disadvantaged should end up like this. From now on, we must investigate the remnants of Wu Xue's traitors on the North Road, and never let anyone go." !"
