More than sixty bandit leaders, big and small, were all tied up and forced to kneel in front of the military formation.

No matter how they shouted for mercy, it was in vain. With a wave of Zhu Cixiang's hand, all these people had their heads chopped off.

Seeing their former boss beheaded on the spot, many people were so frightened that they became incontinent.

There are also some people whose legs are weak and unable to stand steadily, and they actually sit on the ground shivering.

It's not that Zhu Cihong was ruthless and refused to let these leaders survive. He had to do this in order to frighten others.

Since he can become the bandit leader, any one of them who has few innocent lives in his hands will definitely die!

Under Zhu Cixiang's instructions, Zhou Yuji walked up to the bandits who were not killed and said loudly:

"Have you seen it? This is the fate of those who do evil things. The Crown Prince thinks that you are not experienced in the world, so I will spare your life for the time being.

But you must remember that since you have chosen to repent and turn a new leaf, you must never follow the bandits and do evil again.

You must take practical actions to prove yourself, otherwise you will be the one who gets beheaded tomorrow!

The Crown Prince knows that you became bandits because you were hungry, so Chitose decided to take care of your food and no longer let you starve.

Those who perform well will be converted into formal soldiers in the future. Not only will they receive two taels of silver as military pay, but they will also allocate land for you!"

For these bandits, being alive is better than anything else, not to mention having military pay and land in the future.

Before Zhou Yuji finished speaking, they all knelt down and kowtowed:

"Thank you Crown Prince for not killing me. Please rest assured, Mr. Qiantose, that the common people will be obedient and will never do anything evil..."

Zhou Yuji nodded:

"Very good, everyone, get up. I hope you will remember what you said today. If you violate any law or discipline in the future, you will be killed without mercy!"

After Zhou Yuji finished speaking, he turned back to the podium:

"Your Highness, everything has been clearly explained. How about you arrange them?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:

"Of course, leave it to Zhang Guangqi. After he finishes allocating the land here, let Li Dakai take them to Jiangnan to see the world!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuji hurriedly smiled and said:

"Your Highness is wise, it is most appropriate for them to deal with the gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Zhu Cixiang nodded, and then called Yang Guo:

"Yang Guo, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this army, and select suitable candidates from the thousand people under your command to serve as the small flag and the general flag.

Get up early every day to train for two hours, and then follow Mr. Zhang, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, to maintain the order of inventory and land distribution.

I will determine the candidate for the guerrilla general as soon as possible. Then you must cooperate with each other to manage this army. Go ahead!

"As ordered, thank you for your grace, Your Highness,"

After destroying the Lin Clan Division, one of the five battalions of Ge Zuo, there really were no rogue bandits near Kaifeng and Luoyang this time.

After arrangements were made for the prisoners, as soon as Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, Hu Bao came in and reported:

"Young Master, Henan Commander-in-Chief Chen Yongfu wants to see you!"

"Let him in!"

"According to the order!"

Hu Bao took the order and immediately summoned Chen Yongfu!

When Luoyang was in danger, Chen Yongfu was worried about Kaifeng's safety and did not dare to leave. He failed to rescue Luoyang in time, which resulted in the death of the vassal king.

The crown prince personally led an army to attack Luoyang at night and annihilated King He Jin of Zuo Jin.

On the third day, the crown prince set up an ambush to kill Lin Chengcheng and his bandits.

After receiving the news, Chen Yongfu was surprised and happy. He knew that Kaifeng was no longer in danger, and immediately rushed to Luoyang to see the crown prince to apologize!

Entering Chengyun Hall, Henan Commander-in-Chief Chen Yongfu immediately prostrated himself, touching his head to the ground to apologize to the Crown Prince:

"Your Highness, Chen Yongfu, the Commander-in-Chief of Henan Province, pays homage to His Highness. King Po Fu of Luoyang City was killed, and bandit rebellions broke out in various places in Henan. As the Commander-in-Chief of Henan Province, I have committed a serious crime. Please punish me!"

Zhu Cihong looked at Chen Yongfu and saw that his face was full of fatigue. He looked much older than when he saw him last year. He was obviously tired of running around and worried.

To be honest, this time the rogue bandits suddenly attacked Luoyang and destroyed the city so fast that Chen Yongfu had no time to rescue them.

Bandit rebellion broke out in many places in Henan, and it had little to do with Chen Yongfu. Bandits suddenly arrived from the south, and they were not uprisings in the province.

In addition, the five bandits divided their forces and looted in many places, without any direct conflict with the official army.

If the two sides fight head-on and Chen Yongfu leads his troops to defeat, it shows that he is incompetent.

But the rogue bandits were engaged in guerrilla warfare. Even Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and his hundreds of thousands of troops were just chasing the rogue bandits. So what could Chen Yongfu do!

In fact, by handing over Henan, a historically troubled place, to Li Yan and Chen Yongfu, Zhu Cihong knew that he was in trouble for them!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Cixiang knew history, and of course he could not blame Chen Yongfu for being incompetent, but Chen Yongfu did not dare to think that way.

Rogue bandits invaded Henan and broke into Luoyang to kill King Fu. As the commander-in-chief of Henan, he definitely deserved death.

This situation was definitely a death penalty in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and even the whole family would be punished.

Even if the crown prince did not kill him, it was impossible for the imperial censors and civil servants to let Chen Yongfu go. After all, many gentry and civil servants were still killed.

Zhu Cixiang stood up and stepped forward to help Chen Yongfu:

"Chen Aiqing, I am exempted from the courtesy. This time the bandits divided their forces to raid Henan, which is indeed very difficult.

King Pofu of Luoyang City was killed, and I am very heartbroken. Besides, you have tried your best.

It’s a done deal and no one can bring King Fu back from the dead, I don’t blame you and Li Yan!”

The crown prince didn't blame him? Prince Fu was killed and the gentry and officials were massacred. Is this how it went?

The result was so different from what Chen Yongfu had in mind that he couldn't believe it for a moment and just looked at the Crown Prince stupidly...

Zhu Cixi gently patted Chen Yongfu on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"My dear, please get back to normal soon. You can't always let me support you like this!"

"ah……"

"Bang bang bang... The guilty minister thanks His Highness for not killing..."

Chen Yongfu reacted and immediately kowtowed to Zhu Cixiang.

When he looked up, there was blood on his forehead and tears in his eyes...

Who said the crown prince is a little evil star?

Who said the crown prince can stop a child from crying at night?

Who said that the Crown Prince kills people like crazy and never cares about other people's feelings?

If anyone dares to say that to Chen Yongfu again, he will definitely draw his sword and kill him without hesitation!

Zhu Cixiang was not bloodthirsty, but he had no choice. In order to save the building from collapse, he could only raise the butcher's knife high against corrupt officials.

But his treatment of loyal ministers and upright officials was different. He would not let those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty sweat, bleed, and shed tears! Like the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age began with the prince supervising the country.
