Chapter 108 Execution of Liwei

Afterwards, Shang Yi immediately ordered the servants guarding the treasury to lead the way to check the money, grain and materials in the treasury, and also ordered the soldiers to take care of them.

After the rebels captured Hangzhou, they robbed a group of wealthy households, and the materials robbed from other places, and they were also gathered in Hangzhou. Therefore, they accumulated a considerable amount of money, grain and materials of great wealth, and accumulated ten warehouses. When the rebels evacuated, they could only take away some valuables and gold. The rest of the materials were not destroyed, and only three of them were ignited. After the merchants entered the city, they were extinguished in time, and a considerable part of the food was rescued.

When the stolen turmoil occurred in the city, four warehouses were also looted, but most of the stolen silver was confiscated and no losses were suffered. After inspection, the harvest of Hangzhou this time was huge, and a total of more than 800,000 taels of silver, more than 92,000 stones of rice and chestnuts, more than 37,000 stones of miscellaneous grains, more than 13,000 stones of flour, more than 10,000 pieces of silk, more than 30,000 stones of raw silk, more than 2,500 stones of satin and fur clothes. More than 5,000 pieces of various vessels, more than 700 horses, and more than 1,000 other livestock. However, after all the items were registered and compiled, it would take more than ten days to make the case.

Shang Yi was naturally very happy to see these supplies. In addition, the early merchant army also accumulated a large amount of money and grain, and it is estimated that the finances will not be in a tense situation in the next two years.

And just early the next morning, Shang Yi immediately ordered to notify the people of the city to go to the government office to see the rebels he had executed.

At around Chen hour, tens of thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the government office, most of whom were the families of the victims. Many people also carried the bodies of the victims and parked them in the forefront of the rebels under the organization of the Shang Family Army soldiers. At the same time, Shang Yi also brought out more than 15,000 prisoners captured in the previous battle and gathered them together to watch the execution of the rebels. The entrance of the government office was also full of.

The rebels robbed in the city were tied up and threw them at the government office. They were not given food or drink. They were all thirsty and hungry. Most of them were soldiers and households in the garrison. Many people were very nervous and didn't know what Shang Yi would do to deal with him. Of course, many people still kept their luck and thought that they were officers and soldiers. Nowadays, military generals are trying their best to expand their strength. When they catch bandits, they often rely on surrender. Moreover, the law does not blame the public. Shang Yi will only deal with some leading people at most and will not kill himself. He is also thinking about how to beg for mercy like Shang Yi, let him go, and at the same time he is also preparing to surrender to Shang Yi.

But after dawn, more and more people gathered in front of the government office, and they all glared at them. The rebels began to feel a little scared. They knew that something was wrong, and many people's whole bodies couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, the gate of the government office opened. Shang Yi was armed with a helmet and armor, fully armed, leading a team of soldiers from the merchant army out of the government office, following Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Huang Zhen, Yang Wucheng, Duan Peng and other generals, as well as a group of officials in Hangzhou Prefecture.

Seeing Shang Yi coming out, a riot immediately caused among the people. Many people started crying, and many people shouted: "General Shang, take the lead!" "We want to take revenge." "Kill them and avenge us!"

Hearing the crying and hatred eyes of the people, the rebels could not hold back, and their faces turned pale. Yihu also felt that their doomsday was coming, and many people collapsed on the ground. Although Yijing told them before coming out, Yijing told them that they would not execute them this time, but just let them take a look, many people were so scared that they were trembling.

However, there were still many rebels who wanted to seize the last chance. Someone shouted: "Master Shang, General Shang, please spare your life. We were all officers, soldiers and households in the garrison, so we could not force ourselves to follow the rebels! We were forced to do so, don't kill us."

Someone also said: "I have an old man at home and children at my lower home. Please ask General Shang to spare me."

Shang Yi took two steps forward, came to the rebels' ranks, and said sternly: "What I am pursuing today is not the crime of surrendering to the rebels and committing the rebellion, but the crime of harming the people yesterday. It can be said that the situation is forcing oneself to force oneself. But yesterday morning, the thief capital escaped from Hangzhou City through sutras. You should wait in the city and wait for the imperial army to enter the city to take over. What have you done in the city? Is it difficult for someone to force you to do this?"

He turned around and pointed to the bodies of the victims parked on the ground, and said, "You have wives, children, and young people in your family. So when you killed, burned, looted, and committed all kinds of evil in the city yesterday, have you ever thought about them? Do they have wives, children, and young people in their family?"

As soon as these words were said, the crying sounds among the onlookers were even louder, and many people were shouting: "Kill them and avenge us." At first, they were still shouting in a mess, but gradually, they became neat and unified, forming a huge voice: "Kill them and avenge us."

Shang Yi nodded to the people, raised his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then turned around and said, "Did you all hear it? It's not that I am cruel and want to kill you all, but that the crimes you have committed are unforgivable. Not killing them is not enough to be angry with the civilians. However, although I execute you, it will not harm your wife and daughter's family. As long as they abide by the law, they will not avoid worrying about being punished. People come and prepare to execute them."

Six hundred soldiers walked out of the Shang Yi army, three people in groups, two people carried one person, and placed it in front of the victim's body and knelt on the ground. The other man stood behind the rebels with a musket and pushed the musket on the back of the rebels.

The rebels also knew that death was coming, and some people screamed loudly: "I don't want to die. Don't die." Some people struggled desperately, but the rebels were tied up and were hungry for another day, so they could break free. Some people simply accepted their lives, knelt there without moving, and just wanted to die.

"Execution."

With this command, the sound of a fire-burning musket shooting sounded and smoke rose. The two soldiers who were arresting people let go, and the rebels fell to the ground almost at the same time. When all the sounds stopped, everyone in the field was silent, and no one dared to move a little.

After a while, someone shouted: "Check the execution results!"

The two arrested soldiers immediately bent down to see if the rebels had been beaten to death and had not yet died, so they gave him another bayonet until they died.

The people watching cried even louder, and many people knelt down one after another, crying while calling their relatives' names, saying, "General Shang has avenged you."

The sound of musket shooting sounded over and over again, and the rebels were executed in groups of two hundred people. Soon, the execution ground was filled with corpses, and the smell of blood and smoke came. Many people onlookers vomited loudly.

After all the executions were over, Shang Yi came to the rebels who had been arrested before to meet. The execution scene just now also shocked them, which scared the rebels to the point of being disgusted. Many people urinated in their pants.

Shang Yi said: "You have seen all the executions just now. You have not participated in the atrocities that endangered the people in the city, so I will not execute you this time. But you are a crime of rebellion by thieves, but you are also forced to do something and forgive your death penalty. You will be punished by death and be punished by life. In the future, you will serve your sentence and labor service to atone for your sins. If anyone does not obey discipline and is lazy and messy, this is your end."

After hearing this, all of the rebels were relieved. Shang Yi also ordered the soldiers to take them all back to see them.

At this time, most people fell to the ground with the sacred words and thanked Shang Yi for revenge. Shang Yi said to everyone: "Dear fellow villagers, you have been deeply harmed by the bandits over the past period of time, and I think you have suffered a lot of suffering. Therefore, during this turmoil, there were victims in the family, and each person was given twenty taels of silver to be buried. If there were injured, each person would be given ten taels of silver to be treated. The burned houses were funded by the government to rebuild. In short, from then on, you can live a stable life again."

After hearing this, the people were even more grateful to Shang Yi, so they cried again, but this time they were grateful to Shang Yi.

At this time, Shang Yi said again: "But from now on, I hope that you will go home to peace, respect the law, and be kind people. If you bully the weak, bully the good, and oppress the good people, those who are dangerous in the country, those who are cheated by the people, I will execute them at once. I will never let you go, you should do it."

In fact, although Shang Yi said fiercely, the people agreed very much. After experiencing major changes and turmoil, everyone hoped to restore a stable and peaceful life. Shang Yi did this in order to restore order as soon as possible. At this time, among the people, who was the first to shout: Master Jingtian. Then the other people also shouted one after another.

Relying on the resignation's resignation and the strict management of the merchant army, Hangzhou City quickly stabilized the order and gradually restored its former atmosphere.

After the execution of the rebels, Shang Yi immediately wrote a report of victory and sent it to Wu Yan in Nanjing. At the same time, he ordered the Fourth Regiment of the Merchant Army and the Reserve Army stationed in Jiangning to escort money, grain and materials to station in Hangzhou.

Shang Yi's recovery of Hangzhou was the tenth day of October, and there were still six days left before Shang Yi promised to recover Hangzhou. When the report reached Nanjing, it was October 12th. After Wu Yan received the report, he was naturally very happy. On the one hand, he sent a report to Beijing, but on the other hand, he ordered Shang Yi to order him to immediately recover other prefectures and completely quell the rebellion in Zhejiang.
