Chapter 278 One Pot
This time, most of the officials in Henan were almost wiped out. Even the prefect of Kaifeng, Xu Qiyuan, was captured and all were taken to the Kaifeng government office.
Henan Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chen Yongfu and his son Chen De were shocked when they heard the news, and immediately led their troops to surround the Kaifeng government office in preparation for rescuing Henan officials.
As the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general of Henan, the father and son had never heard of the Jin Yiwei coming to Kaifeng to handle the case, and they also thought it was rogue bandits causing trouble.
Chen Yongfu was the general who blinded one of Li Zicheng's eyes in history. Li Zicheng was almost shot to death while showing off his power under Kaifeng City. Some people say that it was his son Chen De who shot Li Zicheng blind.
It is currently impossible to confirm who shot Li Zicheng out of one eye. Anyway, it was the father and son who shot the arrow, either Chen Yongfu or Chen De.
The gate of the Kaifeng government office is still open. Manyi and a Jin Yiwei Baihu led fifty people to guard the place. Ten of them have AK47 black hole guns pointed at the door. Once anyone dares to break in, it will definitely become a hornet's nest.
At this time, talents gathered in the government office lobby, including not only Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, but also the Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang, Viscount Zhou Yuji, Jin Yiwei Commander Tongzhi Yue Yang, etc.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already put on the flying fish suit and transformed into a royal guard, while Zhu Cixiang dressed up as Yue Yang's follower because of his young age.
Zhu Cixiang was not nervous when he heard that the Henan general and deputy generals were leading their troops to surround the Kaifeng government office. He Bao and the others led a thousand national defense troops twenty miles away. As long as he gave the order, the army would arrive immediately.
And the 300 soldiers of the Weiwu Camp and the 50 Jinyi Guards are good at using firearms, so they will have no problem guarding the government office. Don't forget that the Weiwu Camp has a hundred-man AK gunners!
Zhu Cixiang and Yue Yangzhou were not nervous about the good news, but Chongzhen's heart was pounding. He was a little worried that the Henan soldiers would rebel and attack the Kaifeng government office.
Quietly said in Zhu Cixi's ear:
"Your Majesty, it seems that the government office is very unsafe at the moment. We can mobilize the national army to enter Kaifeng. My father is a little worried..."
Zhu Cixiang smiled faintly and whispered in the emperor's ear:
"Father, there is no need to be nervous. Three hundred men in the Mighty Battalion can withstand an army of ten thousand. According to my understanding, Chen Yongfu and his son are loyal ministers. After knowing the truth, they will never dare to make mistakes!"
While the two were communicating, a guard came in and reported:
"Sir, Henan Commander-in-Chief Chen Yongfu requires you to go out and answer questions!"
Yue Yang nodded:
"I know, order Manyi to guard the gate, and any intruders will be killed without mercy!"
"promise"
Yue Yang then looked at Zhu Cixiang;
"Master, how do you think we should handle it?"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:
"Aren't you the Imperial Envoy? Just go out and tell the truth. Be prepared as a sniper. If anyone wants to attack, kill him immediately!"
"OK!"
There were some corrupt officials in the lobby who were tied up and kneeling in front of the hall. Zhu Cihong didn't want to reveal his identity, so he still addressed him as a young master.
Yue Yang blinked at Zhou Yuji:
"General Zhou, how about we go see the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Henan Province together?"
Zhou Yuji didn't say much, and immediately stood up and walked towards the gate of the government office with Yue Yang.
Chen Yongfu and Chen De's father and son were fully armed and holding swords in their hands. Behind them were five thousand Henan officers and soldiers. At first glance, they looked pretty good.
When he saw the two Jin Yiwei leaders wearing Feiyu uniforms walking out of the door, Chen Yongfu was stunned. His aura was not that of rogue bandits, they were clearly genuine Jin Yiwei.
When Yue Yang and Zhou Yuji looked at the majestic Chen Yongfu and his son, they secretly praised them in their hearts:
"The military appearance is good, the general is not a softie at first glance!"
The four of them looked at each other, and Chen Yongfu took the lead and asked:
"Chen Yongfu, deputy commander-in-chief of Henan Province, may I ask if the gentleman opposite is really a royal guard?"
Seeing that Chen Yongfu was not unreasonable and asking for someone, Yue Yang nodded, and then took out Shang Fang's sword and imperial edict:
"I know that the commander of the Royal Guards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's third-grade sword-carrying guard Yue Yang, is now ordered to inspect Henan as an imperial envoy. He has the right to kill first and then report to others for expediency!"
Seeing Yue Yang take out the Imperial Monk Fang Baojian, Chen Yongfu and Chen De and his son immediately stood up and jumped off their horses and knelt on the ground:
"Long live my emperor!"
Seeing their commander-in-chief kneel and kowtow, Henan officers and soldiers immediately knelt down in large groups and shouted:
"Long live my emperor!"
The General Soldier of Henan led troops to surround the government office. Yue Yang was originally worried about the rebellion of the officers and soldiers of Henan, but now he felt relieved and said hurriedly:
"General, please stand up, soldiers!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Chen Yongfu immediately led his soldiers to escape, but he still wanted to see Jin Yiwei's waistband. If the imperial envoy was also a fake and took away so many Henan officials, he would be unforgivable!
But he was worried that the imperial envoy would blame him, so he didn't know how to open his mouth.
Just when Chen Yongfu was in a dilemma, Yue Yang had already seen what he was thinking, and immediately took off the Jinyiwei waist badge and handed it to a Jinyiwei boy:
"Send the Jinyiwei token to General Chen for inspection!"
"Here"
The Jin Yiwei beside him immediately took the waist badge and walked to Chen Yongfu, presenting the Jin Yiwei waist badge with both hands.
Chen Yongfu stretched out his hands and took the Jin Yiwei badge respectfully. He saw the words "Jin Yiwei Tongzhi" on it. He immediately returned the badge and bowed to Yue Yang:
"The general has never received a notice that an imperial envoy has arrived in Henan. He mistakenly thought that the Jinyiwei were bandits in disguise, so he led his troops to break into the Kaifeng government office without permission. Please forgive me, and the general will immediately lead his troops back to the station!"
Yue Yang and Zhou Yuji had a good impression of Chen Yongfu and his son. Seeing that they were about to withdraw, they hurriedly said:
"General, be patient, I have an uninvited invitation!"
Chen Yongfu cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, just give me your orders!"
Yue Yang nodded:
"The disaster in Henan is so serious, but corrupt officials such as Henan Chief Minister Liu Yuyou and Kaifeng Magistrate Xu Qiyuan only care about benefiting their own families. As Henan's parent officials, they don't care about the lives of the people.
I have captured them all and will behead them at Caishikou this morning. Since I don’t have many royal guards, I would like to ask General Chen to lead his troops to maintain order!"
Chen Yongfu and his son Chen De immediately bowed and received the order:
"Got the order!"
In the past, the sixth-rank local civil servants were all arrogant in front of Chen Yongfu and his son. Now, the third-rank imperial envoys still have the power of life and death in their hands. They are so polite to Chen Yongfu. The father and son were very moved. After receiving the order, they immediately led their troops to maintain order.
.
From the Kaifeng government office all the way to Caishikou, Henan officers and soldiers escorted the Jinyi Guards at five steps, one post, and ten steps. Yue Yang and others escorted the corrupt officials from Henan straight to Caishikou.
When they heard that the imperial envoys had arrived in Kaifeng and killed corrupt officials in Henan at Caishikou, the people and refugees in Kaifeng clapped their hands and rushed to Caishikou to watch the excitement.
This execution of corrupt officials was carried out in a simple manner. There was no fanfare and no execution platform was built. After Yue Yang loudly read out the crimes of the corrupt officials, the Jin Yiwei raised their Huangming rifles and shot the corrupt officials to death.
Most corrupt officials are killed by one shot, but the cross-eyed Master Liu, the nephew of the chief minister, was very tough, but he was shot three times in a row before he died.
Normally, executioners would chop off the heads of corrupt officials with a ghost-headed sword and kill corrupt officials with fire blunderbuss. This was the first time that the common people saw this.
Seeing the corrupt officials who usually oppressed them being killed with fire guns by the Jin Yiwei on the spot, the people and refugees who were watching applauded...
