Chapter 1570: Too vicious
Although it was expected, when the storm suddenly came, the whole country of Jinzhou was still trembling with fear.
As the county magistrate of Jinzhou, Yang Chuang was naturally much more informative and accurate than ordinary people. From the outbreak of the food crisis to the later businessman Peng Yan inexplicably solved this disaster that was enough to crush them to pieces, he smelled the smell. A strong smell of Ming people intervening.
But at that time, he could not afford it. If there was no food in Jinzhou at that time, the hungry people and officers and soldiers could tear him to pieces. So he could only close his eyes. At first, he thought that Suqian was just to solve the problem of food in Jinzhou. However, as Peng Yan became closer and closer, in the end, after Peng Yan's biggest backstage was replaced by Suqian, Yang Chuang felt that it was very bad.
The court wanted to send Wen Fuyi, deputy commander of the Fire Phoenix Army, to take over the Western Army's replacement of Suqian, so he naturally knew it, and he knew it earlier than Suqian, because the court also needed him to work together with Wen Fuyi after he arrived. But when Wen Fuyi left the capital, he disappeared without a trace, without seeing anyone in his life or a corpse after he died. After learning the news, Yang Chuang was directly confused.
If you don’t see people in your life, and don’t see corpses in your life, you will naturally be without a complete corpse. What does this mean? Even a fool knows what it means. The best idea is that Suqian wants to gain troops, but this is no different from betrayal. The most serious thing is that Suqian has followed Zeng Lin and others and defected to the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Chuang, who held the last glimmer of hope, became increasingly desperate in the following time, because more and more Ming Dynasty men appeared in the city of Jinzhou, and more Ming Dynasty men were carrying swords and guns to travel to the city of Jinzhou. After the battle of Xiaoshi City in Kunling County, no one in the world knew that the so-called Ming Dynasty men was another army in the Ming Dynasty that was not wearing military uniforms.
What made Yang Chuang the most angry was that the soldiers of Jinzhou, which he had personally controlled, were expelled by Suqian to various county governments below Jinzhou after entering Jinzhou. The little bit of troops at hand could not be commanded in the years since then.
The Ming Dynasty merchants came in, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers who were not wearing military uniforms also came in. The Ming Dynasty Changlong Bank, which had been closed for a long time, opened up again in a grand manner. In Jinzhou, besides the Fire Phoenix Flag hanging on the city wall, what else is from the Great Chu?
I don’t know when the flag will be pulled off by Suqian and blocked it as a rag.
Yang Chuang had no choice. In such a time, if there were soldiers, he would be the king of grass heads. He had thought of a way to send his confidant secretly out of the city, hoping to contact the generals who were expelled from Suqian to various prefectures and counties, secretly led his troops back to the city, but not long after, only one head was sent back.
Since then, Yang Chuang has been desperate. In Jinzhou City, he has become a redundant person. No official will come to report anything to him, nor will he arrive at his desk again. All the officials in Jinzhou County consciously go to the general's headquarters to report to Suqian every day. Suqian also began to issue orders in a grand manner.
Yang Chuang wanted to run away. At this time, he couldn't think of any other way out except running, but at this time, he couldn't even get out of the mansion.
As the nominal county magistrate of Jinzhou, the only preferential treatment that Yang Chuang enjoys is that he can do whatever he wants in his own mansion. His family who goes out to purchase will not be troubled except being monitored.
But Yang Chuang knew that his treatment would not last long, especially his family who went out to purchase, and told him that the Emperor of Ming had arrived in Jinghu County and officially issued a manifesto to attack Chu, Yang Chuang knew that his doomsday was coming soon.
This time didn't take long, and within ten days, the whole city of Jinzhou would be in martial law.
Hundreds of bloody heads hung on the city wall, and Suqian finally took action. All officials and generals who were unwilling to join him in the Ming Dynasty became ghosts under his sword.
Yang Chuang felt that the next one was himself.
The mansion is already in chaos. Every day, family members will roll up the bedding and run away when the night is quiet. Of course, they will not forget to take away some of his property before leaving.
Yang Chuang no longer cared about these things. In the years he had been in Jinzhou, the wealth he had accumulated was astronomical. There were several large warehouses in the mansion filled with gold, silver and jewelry. But are these still useful to him now?
Once a person dies, nothing will be gone.
Wife, concubine, son, daughter, and the whole family gathered together in panic, crying and waiting for the arrival of the end of the world.
There were rumbling footsteps and crisp sounds of horse hooves on the street. The loyal old man rushed in frantically and told him in panic that the army surrounded the mansion and Suqian came here in person.
The howling of women and children suddenly made a big noise, almost deafing Yang Chuang's ears. At the end, Yang Chuang finally maintained his last bit of dignity, stood up, and tidyed his clothes. Although his legs were like sieves, he still forced himself to walk out. When he reached the threshold, he could not lift his legs and crossed the high threshold. In the end, the old family stretched out his hand and half-pulled and helped his master out of the door.
Suqian stood in the yard with an unknown smile on his face as he looked at the county magistrate who had become a little disfigured in a short time. Yang Chuang used to be a broad-minded person, but he was fat.
"Is General Su here to take my life?" Yang Chuang asked tremblingly.
Suqian laughed: "Mr. Yang, I thought you would be so scared that you would collapse into mud, but I didn't expect that I could still come to this general, which made me look at him with admiration."
Yang Chuang smiled bitterly.
"Why, does County Governor Yang want to die so much?" Suqian continued.
When Yang Chuang heard this, he was immediately excited, "General Su didn't want to kill me?"
Suqian laughed: "Seeing that you have been very obedient since I arrived in Jinzhou and have not caused any trouble to me, so I naturally have no reason to kill you. County Governor Yang, I am here today to give you a clear path. How about it, do you want to listen?"
"I want to hear it, of course I want to hear it!" Yang Chuang was naturally overjoyed when he heard that he could not die.
"Issuing a manifesto in your name to scold Min Ruoying and praise the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. As long as you can do this, I, Suqian, can guarantee that you can also be a county magistrate of Jinzhou for a period of time, and then choose a place you want to go and enjoy the huge wealth you have accumulated over the years, how about it?"
Hearing the conditions that Suqian had opened, Yang Chuang was so sad that he sat on the ground and drooped for a while, but finally shook his head: "General Su, I can't do it, I can't do it!"
"Why? Don't you want to live anymore?" Suqian asked strangely.
"I am a whole family, my parents, brothers, uncles, and hundreds of people are all going to the capital. If I dare to do such a thing, they will definitely not be able to survive. I can't harm them." Yang Chuang communicated with tears, and saw that the road of life was right in front of him, but he couldn't walk. There was nothing sadder than this.
"Isn't your family a descendant? Even if you do this, Min Ruoying will even cut off the heads of your family members in the capital?" Suqian asked.
"I have turned many bends and I have all five subdued. Your Majesty will never be lenient when he kills them." Yang Chuang said cryingly: "General Su, you should kill me. I have only a few dozen people here. If I die, I will die. I am unkind, unkind, and unrighteous, but I cannot be unfilial anymore!"
Suqian blinked his eyes and looked at the man who was crying loudly on the ground. He was surprised. Such a guy, you say he is not afraid of death. He is not a little masculine, but you say he is afraid of death, but at this moment, he seems not afraid of death at all.
He squatted down and looked at Yang Chuang, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will soon arrive in Jinzhou. If you don't make any contribution, you are afraid that you will not be able to survive in the Ming Dynasty. If you don't walk, what do you want to do?"
"General Su really won't kill me?"
Suqian flattened his mouth: "I really didn't want to kill you."
"I want to go back to the capital." Yang Chuang said carefully.
"The Ming army is about to enter Shangjing City. You are looking for death when you go back at this time. But I heard that Min Ruoying is almost crazy now. Officials are being cut off their heads every day when Shangjing City Vegetable Market. If you go back like you, you will be cut off your heads." Suqian said kindly. "Anyway, your family can't be saved, so why don't you just follow me and leave some incense for your family."
Yang Chuang shook his head firmly: "I am loyal and unyielding, and I will never surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of Great Chu will never chop my head."
"Maybe I'll get you promoted, right?" Suqian laughed and stood up. "Okay, if you want to leave, the general will let you go, but you can't take away any of the things in your house. Originally, if you were willing to issue a manifesto, I would just pretend that these things were not seen. Since you don't do it, you can only leave naked."
"General Su, you see, after you arrived in Jinzhou, I didn't give you any trouble. Can you let me take a little away? The whole family will have to live in the future! The Great Chu gathered a large army of 500,000, and maybe when will this battle be fought?"
Listening to Yang Chuang's words, Suqian burst into laughter. He waved his hand and curled Yang Chuang up and said in his ear: "Since you really want to go back, I will give you an idea. You, escape alone and return to Shangjing City. Your family, I will help you to raise them. Don't turn your eyes around. I have no idea about them. Then I am here, claiming that your family has been cut off by me. You, your family is destroyed, your family is dead, and you are steadfast and unyielding, and you will flee back to Shangjing City. Min Ruoying needs a role model at this time. It is very likely that you will be promoted. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You want me to do it for you?" Yang Chuang widened his eyes.
"Between the two sides!" Su Qian said with a smile. "What about you, it's better to act bravely and unyielding, vow to take revenge, and then ask Min Ruoying to work in Xiangzhou to avenge his family. How about it?"
"It's so vicious!" Yang Chuang murmured.
