  Chapter 433 Why did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty falter

   crunching

  The long queue of prison cars with no end to end slowly squirmed on the streets of the imperial capital. The road of more than ten kilometers from the prison to the execution ground was crowded with people.

   "What's the origin of this?"

   "I heard that he is a corrupt official from the Ministry of War."

   "Okay, heaven has eyes, finally someone can take care of these corrupt officials!"

  However, as time passed, one prison car after another passed by, but after seeing the long queue of prison cars that was still endless, the joy in the hearts of many onlookers gradually turned into surprise.

   "This number is too many, maybe there are thousands of people?"

   In the past, officials and officials protected each other, and few people subdued the law for a year or so. Why did there suddenly become such a big battle this time?

  But soon, some pre-arranged nurseries began to popularize the "glorious deeds" of the prisoners, which immediately caused explosions along the way.

   "What? They actually took the military funds allocated by the [Emperor] for ink, and then sold them to the enemy?"

   "The soldiers on the front line shed blood and tears, ate chaff and swallowed vegetables, and stabbed knives in the back. No wonder we have been defeated repeatedly in these years!"

   "Beast! It is these silverfish that brought the empire to its present state!"

  ...

  Under the agitation of the crowd, countless citizens began to throw stones and feces at the prisoners. If the [Shenwu Army] along the way did not stop them, thousands of prisoners would be eaten alive on the spot.

   Filled with anger, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people spontaneously moved to the outskirts of the imperial capital, close to the killing ground at the intersection of the Sanjing Grand Canal and Dachuan.

  If they can't witness the fate of these traitors with their own eyes today, they will probably be so angry that they won't be able to sleep at night!

  The surrounding buildings are gradually thinning out, and the gloomy wind is echoing in the ears. I don’t know how many resentful souls have died here since ancient times. Even the bluestone slabs under the feet are soaked with black and red strange lines.

  The long queue of prison cars stopped slowly, and hundreds of prisoners were dragged to a huge platform in the center of the execution ground.

The open and flat terrain allows people within a kilometer to clearly see every move on the high platform. A graceful and handsome young man in white is sitting on a high-backed chair, overlooking the reactions of the insects before they die with great interest. .

  The embarrassing figures with disheveled hair let out all kinds of strange howls, some wept bitterly, some begged for mercy, and some cursed at the boy in white.

   "Zhao Yinshun! You flirt with the Holy Majesty, harming the country and the people, you will die!"

   "Poisonous woman Li Min! Believe in traitors! Before the bones of the former emperor were cold, you slaughtered the court and killed the loyal and good! Pity me, Damin, for the thousand-year-old kingdom to be destroyed in one day!"

   "Fraudful ruler and treacherous officials! Go against the law! The heroes of the world will kill you sooner or later!"

  ………

  Listening to the impotent rage of this group of insects before they died, Zhao Yinshun pursed the corners of his mouth, his heart remained calm, and he even wanted to laugh.

   At this moment, an old man who barely maintained his posture took advantage of the inattention of the soldiers escorting him, broke free from his restraints, and rushed to the boy not far away.

   "Duke Zhen! I have something to say!"

  Waving his hand to signal the soldiers who arrested him to stop, Zhao Yinshun nodded with great interest.

   "Your Excellency Peng is the left servant of the Ministry of War. He has learned a lot and is rich in five chariots. He must have high opinions. Please speak for Shun."

  Slightly relieved, Peng Changxing quickly organized his words and advised him earnestly.

   "My lord [Zhen Guogong], it's not too late for you to stop now. If you don't know how to restrain yourself and make a compromise, Her Majesty the Empress may be buried with you!"

"oh?"

   Raising his eyebrows, the boy in white raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile.

   On the other side, seeing that the boy was "bluffed" by himself, Peng Changxing hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

   "The policy you implemented in Luzhou seized people's land and property, and touched the lifelines of the world's powerful landlords. The old clans all regard you as an enemy."

   "Later, you demolished [Confucian Forest] and changed [Confucius Temple], offending scholars all over the world to death."

   "Now you have intensified your efforts and sent most of the court's meritorious deeds to prison. Don't you know that they are the real power to rule this empire?"

  Calmly observed the boy's expression, but apart from a playful look in his eyes, Peng Changxing couldn't see any changes at all, so he could only bite the bullet and continue threatening.

   "It is because of your policy of violating the will of the people that the empire has fallen apart and the heroes of the world have risen. Hasn't [Zhen Guogong] woke up?"

   "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Her Majesty the Queen?"

   "Are you really going to drag Your Majesty to die from the world? Let her become the king of subjugation, a sinner through the ages?"

  Hearing this, Zhao Yinshun finally couldn't help but let out a sneer.

   "I thought that people's words are good when they are about to die, but I didn't expect that you insects are so hopeless!"

   "Defying the will of the people? In your eyes, the mud-legged people working in the fields are not people, but animals with two legs, right?"

   "Cough cough, [Zhen Guogong]'s words are wrong. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, and the people are ignorant and humble. How can they be compared?"

"Ah."

   With a sneer, Zhao Yinshun pointed at the rows of solemn and majestic soldiers around him, and raised the corners of his mouth.

   "See them?"

  Peng Changxing nodded stiffly. He saw the suppressed anger in the eyes of these soldiers, but there was no flicker in their eyes looking straight ahead. Just from this detail, we can see how elite fighters they are.

   "They are the stupid and cheap grass you talk about..."

   Immediately, Zhao Yinshun looked at the army as neat as a stone sculpture, and whispered softly.

   "Tell him, am I popular?"

"Roar!!"

   No need for words, the deafening roar resounded for dozens of miles, responding to the blood demon that soared into the sky, the head of a dark gold black dragon covering the entire imperial capital slowly poked out of the clouds, staring greedily and cruelly at the execution ground.

  The vision invisible to mortals was very clear in the eyes of all the officials. Looking up at the terrifying dragon like a world-destroying monster, the noisy and chaotic high platform seemed to have been pressed the pause button and stood still for an instant.

   "A group of silverfish lying on the country and sucking blood, even claiming to be the master of the country?"

   "Think I will compromise with you?"

   "Stupid!"

   "If the family is against me, I will kill the family; if the nobles are against me, I will kill the nobles; if the world is against me, I will wash the world with blood!"

   "I am China, and my will is the will of the country!"

   "And you are just deformed carrion on my body, a group of rotten sores that need to be gouged out..."

  The boy in white and the dark gold black dragon in the sky lowered their heads simultaneously, showing cruel and cold smiles.

   "Now, it's time to clean up the filth."

  crack

   With a light snap of their fingers, the nimble soldiers tied the prisoners one by one to the execution platform, and then rows of soldiers came to the prisoners in a neat line.

   "No! What do you want to do?"

  Breaking free from the divine oppression of the dark gold and black dragon, Peng Changxing struggled violently, watching helplessly as a soldier took out a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing and cut the first cut on his body.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

  The skin and flesh the size of a palm was peeled off, and shrill screams echoed one after another on the high platform.

  At the same time, more than a dozen prisoners on the execution platform seemed to understand something, and let out a tragic wail.

   "No! You can't treat me like this, you won't be punished as a doctor... Ahhhhhhh!"

   Before he finished speaking, the first soldier handed the dagger to Pao Ze behind him, and re-arranged to the end of the line, allowing the second soldier to continue cutting.

   "My lords, there are still many rookies in [Shenwujun] who have never seen blood. I am wronged that you donate the flesh and let them open their eyes!"

   Looking at a group of insects struggling in pain, Zhao Yinshun smiled, but the depths of his pupils were cold.

   "You can be regarded as benevolent and benevolent. When you die, there are more than a hundred mud legs waiting for you. Are you happy?"

   "No! We are not guilty of this! You can't Ling Chi... ouch ouch!"

   "Selling military resources, cooperating with foreign thieves, treason and conspiracy, why can't Ling Chi?"

   "No! I did not treason! I am wronged!"

   "Then what happened to the Fuso war bonds you bought?"

   "..."

   "What's going on with the local defenders, disobedience to the sacred order, and blocking [Shenwu Army] from entering Beijing?"

   "..."

   "Collude with the savages in Jizhou, bribe the defenders of Liaozhou, and let go of the Great Wall defense line?"

   "..."

   "Corruption of military supplies, causing front-line soldiers to suffer from hunger and cold, what is going on with large-scale non-combat attrition?"

  Each person took turns to come up with a knife, and pieces of flesh and blood the size of a palm fell off the prisoner, exposing the **** muscle fascia.

  The prisoners who were unconscious in pain convulsed and struggled, begging for mercy in despair.

   "No... I didn't... Please, please, give it a good time! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"!"

   "This is unbearable? You should thank the senior sister for her mercy, and don't allow me to light sky lanterns in the imperial capital, or I will make you burn for seven to forty-nine days!"

   Sighing regretfully, Zhao Yinshun looked at the squirming team and shouted angrily.

   "Train your knife skills seriously. Whoever cuts to death will clean the toilet for me for a month!"

  The terrifying punishment came to the ears, and the hearts of all the [Shenwujun] soldiers shuddered, and the force of the knife suddenly became more gentle, and the sliced ​​meat was so thin that it could see through!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

  The hell-like screams resounded through the execution ground, and the hundreds of thousands of people who came to eat melons felt cold in their backs, and they couldn't help but feel a little fear in their hearts.

  Yuyou looked at the boy in white clothes who looked like a demon on the high platform, and everyone's eyes showed complicated awe and admiration.

  On the other side, the gurgling blood flowed down from the "thin" human sticks, merged into the channel on the high platform, and flowed down the execution platform along the mysterious lines, forming a mysterious and strange formation.

  High in the sky, the dark gold and black dragon absorbed slowly and longly, traces of rich qi and blood transpired from the formation, and sucked in the dragon's belly like swallows throwing themselves into the forest.

  Looking at the high platform born out of the ancient blood sacrifice ceremony under his feet, Zhao Yinshun nodded thoughtfully.

  Following his own way of killing can be regarded as a great tonic for the army soul!

   Among the crowd in the audience, some servants watched the horrific scene on the stage, shivered and withdrew, and ran all the way back home.

   "Master, it's not good! [Duke Zhen]! [Duke Zhen]..."

   "How to deal with [Duke Zhen Guo]? Is it distributed to the frontier? Or demoted to a commoner?"

   Waiting impatiently, the official lord stood up suddenly, and clasped the servant's hand.

   Enduring the severe pain in his hand, the servant frantically shook his head.

   "[Duke Zhen Guo] is crazy, he sentenced Mr. Peng and the others to death by slashing to death!"

"What?!"

  The unexpected answer made the master's eyes tear open. After a burst of excitement, he seemed to have his bones removed, and he slumped on the seat and muttered to himself.

   "How dare he! How dare he!"

   Report to the master in detail what he saw along the way, and the loyal servant is worried.

   "Master, do you need to make plans early..."

   "No! I don't believe it, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, he dares to kill them all!"

   Gritting his teeth fiercely, the master roared with red eyes, and faintly lost his mind in his crazy emotions.

   However, before the words fell, there were panic screams from the outer courtyard.

   "Wait, you can't come in!"

   "Jin Yiwei is doing business, idlers stay away! Get out!"

  Looking at the Jin Yiwei who rushed in, the crazy expression froze on his face, replaced by despair and fear.

   "Master Li, something happened to you, come with us!"

"No!!"

  Sharp and piercing screams resounded through the sky, but similar scenes happened frequently in every corner of the imperial capital.

  …………

   "All dear friends, who has a book to play?"

  The indifferent and majestic empress sits high on the nine jade steps, her condescending ice blue eyes are full of oppression, and the entire Golden Palace is silent in the blink of an eye.

  Looking around the sparse team, there were less than one-fifth of the ministers left in the huge hall. In just a few days, the entire Damin court was almost wiped out by someone.

  Glaring angrily at the young man in white beside him, Li Min snorted coldly, making all the ministers tremble in fright.

   Tremblingly looked up at the smiling young man in white. Under the harmless and handsome skin, everyone seemed to see a brutal monster licking a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

  In the past few days, they have hardly been able to sleep at night, and they seem to be able to hear dying cries from the direction of the execution ground.

  The cruel Lingchi ceremony lasted for a full day and night. The unlucky ghost who was cut into a skeleton and white bones died completely, but then the next batch of prisoners who had already poured out urine and feces were brought up again, and a new round of cycle started.

   What was even more frightening was that with the expansion of the interrogation in the prison, more and more people were implicated, and the entire court was almost wiped out, leaving only two or three kittens.

  As if a sharp sword was hanging above their heads, the high-ranking ministers in the past always woke up in the middle of the night, for fear that Jin Yiwei would come to the door and take them away.

   There were even a few colleagues who couldn't bear the psychological pressure and chose to commit suicide early, so as not to be sent to the execution stage!

  For a time, [Zhen Guogong]'s name could almost stop children crying at night in the imperial capital, and no one dared to call him by his name anymore.

   Until this time, the ministers finally understood what he meant by "not surviving the next court meeting".

  He is really planning to wash the court with blood in a physical sense!

  Looking around the empty hall, the sorrow of the death of the rabbit and the fox permeated his heart, but with a faint laughter, the hearts of all the ministers trembled, and they held their breath for an instant.

   "Why did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty falter?"

   Thank you [Sunshine White Pigeon] and other book friends for their rewards.

   It is customary to ask for a ticketヾ(ゞ)
