Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 59 Execution of the Gentlemen, son, you join the rebel army!

Same as Shu Anguo and his son.

The other poor people who came with the officers and soldiers of the baby-picking team could not help but smile as they watched the children eating cakes and the babies being held in the arms of women and children through the fence.

The officers and soldiers of the baby-picking team also laughed, and even continued to pick up babies and rescue orphans at a faster pace.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew that Zhang Cheng had set up a nursing home and came here specifically to see this scene, also smiled and couldn't help but think of the time when he, Xu Da, Tang He and others were sitting on the courtyard to eat cakes together when he was a child.

Everyone who came here looked at this scene with intoxicated faces.

Just ask.

In this troubled world, whoever has some sense of conscience doesn't find it a joyful scene for children to sit together peacefully, eating cakes and soup, and for women to nurse calmly?

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and other people of this era had not seen such a scene for a long time.

Because the scene was so attractive, some people couldn't bear to leave as they were remembering it. Some people started to have tears in their eyes, and some couldn't help but follow the children who were eating the cakes to slow down.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Mr. Zhang is really kind-hearted. He is much better than your Jia Zhizhou."

"We didn't let him be the magistrate for nothing."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help but said this to Zhang Mian beside him.

Zhang Mian also sighed and said: "What the superior said is that the old rituals can only eat people, how can they save people."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Everyone!"

"I am the magistrate of this state, and with the approval of the general manager, General Zhu, I have set up a nursing home here to raise orphans and children in the world."

"Because our rebels are different from Hu Yuan and their lackeys. Our rebels rose up to save the people of the world!"

"It's just that I heard that some people slandered our rebel army, saying that our rebel army wants to kill the world's literati, imitate the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, and use children as food rations, so the adoption of infants and young children is for the purpose of cannibalism."

"Therefore, I would like to personally clarify here that the reason why we adopt infants and young children is so that after our brothers in the army sacrifice themselves in the great cause of restoring peace to the people of the world, there will be someone to take care of them, so that there will be no one left behind to keep filial piety. At the same time, It is also to prevent fewer people from starving to death or being eaten in this world, and to restore the Chinese etiquette."

Zhang Cheng said, taking out a copy of the Jun Order and saying: "Here is the Jun Order issued by our general manager, General Zhu, as evidence. The copied text of the Jun Order will be passed on to you later. You can read it carefully. Is this what General Zhu meant when he adopted the infant?"

"In addition, our rebel army is not short of food now, because we have raided the homes of many evil gentry, profiteers, and corrupt officials."

"If you don't believe it, you can go and take a look. The house raid is still in progress."

"So, we don't lack food at all to feed the army and the people, and we don't have to eat them."

"Of course, you all are sensible. You must have seen this scene now and know that if we are reluctant to give up food and feed infants and young children, how can we give them this big cake and let them eat as much as they want? How can we return the favor? Let them wear new clothes?"

Zhang Cheng walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang, pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "This is our general manager, General Zhu. If you don't believe it, you can ask General Zhu."

"Sir, please say a few words."

Zhang Cheng also whispered something to Zhu Yuanzhang here.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, walked to the front, looked at the poor people outside the courtyard, and said: "Fellow elders, like you, we, Zhu Yuanzhang, also came from a poor background. We can't eat a few pancakes in a day, and we can't wear enough clothes in a year. We have to give them a complete set of clothes, so if we don’t have enough food, we have to feed on them, how can we feed them so much and give them new clothes?”

"You, the elders, must have seen it too, and seen the rations and pay that our rebel officers and soldiers received."

"Yes, we, Lao Zhu, are not short of food now, so we are willing to give out food and pay, and we are also willing to use food to raise orphans and children. Even if we have to raise more soldiers and orphans in the future, the food will still be enough, because we, Lao Zhu, will continue to copy corrupt officials In the homes of evil gentry, don't let them use the taxes and rent collected from you as interest to support their little wives."

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the poor people all started muttering.

"it is good!"

"General Zhu, Zhang Zhizhou, we believe in you!"

Even some poor people could not help but echo loudly.

After all, the orphans and children wearing new clothes, eating cakes and milk were truly presented in front of them.

And next.

"Then please all the elders please send your own children to serve as soldiers and take the exam to be officers of our rebel army. Let's create a great peaceful age together!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said again, and then left here with Zhang Cheng and others, went to the school field, and continued to pay military pay.

It is true that the salaries of more than 20,000 soldiers cannot be paid out overnight, and it is impossible for all officers and soldiers to be gathered together to pay them.

Since there are people to guard the city gates, people to maintain order, and people to inquire about the enemy situation outside, the rebels are all drawn into batches for payment, and more time is needed for payment.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng are still busy with the issue of military pay.

It's the same as adopting an orphan.

The scene where a stone of food was moved out of the school grounds by the rebels in the name of military pay is undoubtedly the best recruitment slogan for the rebel army. Because there were many people coming to the nursing home, many people heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said about paying soldiers.

As a result, more and more people came out to see the soldiers receiving their pay.

Later, when the soldiers received their food and pay and returned home, people were already standing on both sides of the streets.

"Looking at the scale of the food and salary, General Zhu is more generous than the official army."

"No wonder these thieves don't eat people or plunder. They pay for wine and food. If I had so much food, I wouldn't want to commit any crime."

"I want to join the rebel army, so I can have enough to eat!"

When Shu Anguo left the almshouse with his father on his back, he saw this scene and heard the mutterings of the people. Therefore, he thought about the rebels asking him to copy the notices and return food to him, and he couldn't help but start asking his father. : "Father, do you think they are traitors?"

boom!
  And just when Shu Anguo asked his father about it, a gong sounded.

Followed by.

Shu Anguo saw many people in prison uniforms being locked up in prison cages, being held by rebel officers and soldiers, and their crimes were written on plaques outside the prison cages.

These criminals were Yuan court officials such as Jia Zhili and Yan Wuliang who were about to be executed and refused to surrender, as well as evil gentry and profiteers who had taken advantage of the rebel army's entry into the city and ordered their slaves to rob under the banner of the rebel army.

Since the confiscation of the house was basically over, Zhang Cheng asked Feng Guoyong to publicly interrogate and imprison some of the key criminals, in order to achieve the purpose of punishing these people with canonical punishment, in order to inform the world that these people deserved their crimes and deserved it. The rebels killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Shu Anguo took a serious look at the sins of these people described on these plaques.

At this time, other poor people also looked at the sins on these plaques seriously.

Some Hanshi could not help but take the initiative to read the content on the plaque for the people.

"It turns out they really are catching people for food!"

"On the day the rebels entered the city, the people who robbed my house were actually members of their officials and gentry!"

"They are so abominable. They hoarded food, causing a large amount of food to become moldy, and did not provide any relief to us. As our parents and gentry, how could they do this!"

for a while.

The poor people started talking about it.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

Many people couldn't help but shout loudly because of this. The crowd was so angry that they even followed these caged prison cars to the makeshift public trial platform.

And when all the important criminals were brought to the public trial.

Feng Guoyong, on behalf of the rebel army, once again interrogated Jia Zhili, Yan Wuliang and others whether they admitted the confessions they signed.

"I admit that my confession is true, but I do not admit guilt! You are messing with destiny and the world's rituals!"

Jia Zhili still answered righteously.

"He actually admitted it!"

At this time, Han Shi couldn't help but say this.

But Jia Zhili didn't take it seriously and still held his head high. Even though he was now being pushed to his knees by the rebels, he still looked particularly arrogant.

Yan Wuliang was trembling and trembling: "I admit it, but I had to do this to show off to Jia Zhizhou and the others. Otherwise, my Yan family will be accused of having liaison with the rebels! Woo hoo!"

After Yan Wuliang said this, Jia Zhili immediately became furious and looked at Yan Wuliang: "Evil gentry, you still want to slander me at this time! Do you think they will let you go if you do this?!"

After all these key criminals confessed, Feng Guoyong issued an order: "Execute them immediately, and then post their confessions and execution documents to the common people by posting notices and erecting monuments."

Finished.

Jia Zhili and other officials were beheaded.

However, Yan Wuliang and other evil gentry were driven to the market.

For a moment, blood splattered on his head, like a heavy rain on a summer night that had been hot all day.

The poor people and the people all felt happy.

Shu Anguo's father couldn't help but said to Shu Anguo at this time:

"Son, you join the rebel army! They are really willing to kill corrupt officials, and they are really willing to save poor people like us!"
