"Hua Shumi, from the point of view of the following officials, these rebels who rebelled against Tongzhou are not wise, because Tongzhou is too close to the Beijing Division, and it is easy to be besieged by the heavy troops of the imperial court, they should move in the direction of Baoding and Zhending to best avoid the siege of the heavy troops of our imperial court, and they are doing this now, giving us the opportunity to quickly surround them, but we really want to attack the city?"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Tongzhou City behind the high wall of the city, said to Hua Yuncheng, and said: "The lower officials are not afraid of death, but they feel that it is a pity that my good sons of Yu Linwei pay the price of casualties because of these hired workers who were forced to rebel, but they are indeed rebelling now, and it is difficult to forgive!"
”Hua Yuncheng said: "I have a better way to deal with them without bloodshed." ”As he spoke, Hua Yuncheng said, "Bring the brass horn to the official." ”A guard handed the brass horn to Hua Yuncheng.And Hua Yuncheng took the brass horn and rode his horse to the gate of Tongzhou City.Seeing this, the rebel hired workers guarding Tongzhou City became nervous, and they all asked Gui Zhong, the foreman who organized their rebellion: "Boss Gui, the official is coming to us single-handedly, what is he going to do?"
”"Who knows!"
Gui Zhong said.The older employee said: "I know him, he is the old man of Futaihua in Tianjin, he is a good official, he saved our family, because he knew that I was an old blacksmith, and asked me to come to the iron factory to work." ”"What about good officials, we have rebelled now, no matter what kind of officials Wulun is, they are all our enemies!"
Gui Zhong said accordingly.At this time, Hua Yuncheng had already begun to shout under the city: "Fellow villagers, this official is Hua Yuncheng, the governor of Tianjin, and he already knows your grievances and knows that this matter is not your fault. ”"Therefore, this official has fulfilled the emperor's will, thinking that you are forced to be helpless and bewitched, so as long as you are willing to identify the person who organized your rebellion, and raise your hands and surrender now, you will not be guilty of what you have committed, and you will be regarded as being bewitched and coerced without guilt, and you will even be repaid the money owed to you, and an additional month's worth of silver as additional compensation, and in addition, you will also be given justice!"
Hua Yuncheng said and instructed Lu Xiangsheng behind him: "Let them escort Gao Hongzong up!"
”"Yes!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied.As a result, Gao Hongzong, who was in charge of the Tongzhou Iron Works, was taken down.As soon as Gao Hongzong was escorted over, the rebel hired workers in the city became excited."
It's the dog official surnamed Gao, he was really arrested by this official!""
This surname is also today!""
This surnamed Gao was actually arrested!"
…… The rebel hired men were talking about it.And Gui Zhong, who organized their rebellion, said: "The officials in the world are the same, and they are just showing us now!"
”But at this time, Hua Yuncheng suddenly shouted: "Chop!"
”And Gao Hongzong was surprised, and shouted loudly: "The surname is Hua, you bastard, everyone is a colleague, why did you cut off Lao Tzu's head for the sake of those thieves above!"
”Click!
But Hua Yuncheng's guard still fell.Gao Hongzong was beheaded on the spot."
Good!"
The rebel hired men in the city cheered.Some people even said: "Really cut it!"
Really cut down the dog official surnamed Gao!
It seems that this official is really in charge of us!
”"Yes, this official's words are credible!"
…… And Hua Yuncheng continued to shout: "What are you still rubbing, hurry up and return to the court, as long as you identify the main culprit and raise your hands to surrender, your crimes will not be investigated, and you will still go back to the past, don't you want to earn money every day like before, you can drink wine and eat meat, your wife and children have new clothes to wear every New Year, don't you want to get married and have children, and pass on the ancestry?!"
”Hua Yuncheng said and turned back and ordered: "Bring up the silver coins and all the money!"
”So, it didn't take long for boxes of silver coins to be carried up.Hua Yuncheng asked people to open the boxes full of silver coins again, and after taking a look at these silver coins, he continued to shout to the rebel hired workers on the city wall: "Hurry up and submit, don't do any more useless struggles, you can't fight the imperial court, in addition, this official promises on behalf of the imperial court, from now on I will not owe you your silver wages, if you are in arrears, you can directly come to the governor's yamen of this official and find this official!"
”"There's really silver, and it's really going to be anti-work!""
It's better to be Master Hua!""
I want to go back to work!"
…… For a while, most of the employees were impressed."
The main culprit is him, Gui Zhong, Gui foreman, he made us rebel, let us strike!"
Moreover, at this time, a hired man first pointed at Gui Zhong, then dropped the spear in his hand, and raised his hand and walked down the city.Then, another hired man pointed to Gui Zhong: "It's him, Gui Foreman asked us to do this!"
I'm surrendering!
”"It's Foreman Gui, I didn't want to strike at first, I didn't want to do this!"
Then another hired man raised his hands.Hua Yuncheng smiled when he saw this.Soon, the gates of Tongzhou City were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and these hired workers spontaneously raised their hands and came out to surrender.Seeing this, Gui Zhong shouted angrily: "What are you doing here!
Lao Tzu sees you pitiful, asks for wages for you, organizes you to strike, stands up for you, and leads you to rebel, not for yourself, but for you to live like a person, why did you betray me!
Betray me!
If this continues, there will be corrupt officials and corrupt officials who will oppress you in the future, and who will dare to stand up for you!
Yes!
”Gui Zhong felt particularly helpless and disappointed.Then, Gui Zhong shouted at the surrendered hire-workers: "You deserve to be oppressed by them for the rest of your life!"
”Some of the hired workers couldn't help but feel ashamed when they heard this, but they chose to come and surrender anyway.After all, no one doesn't want to live and live a peaceful life.And some hired workers muttered to their co-workers: "No one let him come out, he just borrowed us to become powerful, and then became the emperor, or like Song Jiang in the Water Margin, let us rebel, and he just wanted to be an official!"
”Hua Yuncheng had already let Lu Xiangsheng lead his troops into the city at this time to capture Gui Zhong.And after Hua Yuncheng entered the city, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but praise Hua Yuncheng: "Hua Shumi's rebellion was quelled with only some silver and a human head, which is really admirable." ”Hua Yuncheng said: "The common people have always been in rebellion, just a little mercy, let them betray the main culprit and get away with it, it can make it disintegrate internally, in the final analysis, except for a few ambitious heroes, most people don't really want to oppose the court!"
And after doing this, there will be fewer and fewer so-called heroes who ask for the people's lives, everyone will no longer be interested, and the court will be better able to manage these people. ”Saying that, Hua Yuncheng showed a cold expression: "Therefore, Gui Zhong must be executed by capital punishment!"
Set an example!
