Everyone was shocked!

Originally, after a notice was posted, everyone laughed it off - bandits and robbers were given ten days to surrender!

Is there such a thing as a piece of paper in the world?

is it possible?

If it had been anyone else, it would have been impossible, but for Zhu Guoqiang, it was really possible!

After all, ever since he "brought fire from heaven to extinguish the Tatar soldiers" in Jinan, Prince Zhu Ciying has been the source of storytellers in restaurants and teahouses across the country.

As soon as the storyteller mentions "Prince De" or "General Pinglu", there will be cheers everywhere in the teahouse. After all, people have long been tired of listening to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West".

The idea of ​​gods descending to earth to save the world would seem novel.

Moreover, unlike the Qing Dynasty's "Don't talk about state affairs", the Ming Dynasty can talk about anything, and the government is too lazy to care about it. Even if it criticizes the government, it is true. Otherwise, why would the Ming Dynasty be so talkative and criticize the government at every turn?

Woolen cloth?

Of course, ordinary people are not interested in any major national affairs. On the contrary, they are very interested in gods and ghosts. And how can the "virtuous prince" who not only descends to earth, but also calms the world and defeats the Tatars, is not popular all over the country?

Therefore, in the past few years, Prince De has already been a well-known figure in the world, and his number of fans is definitely second to none in the Ming Dynasty. After all, those wise kings, wise ministers, gods and ghosts mentioned by storytellers cannot help them kill the Tatars.

Stabilize the world.

But, Prince De Zhu Ciying can!

Not only can it kill the Tatars, but it can also attract thunder from the sky to destroy the tyrannical thieves!

Those bandits and robbers are all heroes who know the current affairs! Seeing that hundreds of thousands of Western thieves are vulnerable, how can you not be afraid, especially when you hear what the storyteller said about attracting thunder from the sky, directing fire from the sky, and making huge waves?

Zhizai's supernatural powers were so frightening that he couldn't sleep. As for "A Thousand Miles a Day", they were ignored. Why?

Not worth mentioning!

What the storyteller said... I don't know how many people were frightened, and how many robbers, bandits and defeated bandits made the most correct decision in their eyes - surrender!

Surrender... Even if it doesn't work, you can still be a corpse. If the general attacks, you may not even be able to see the ashes. You may even be beaten into a beast in your next life and will be a beast for generations to come.

have to!

Come down!

Even though they claimed to be heroes in the world, each one of them acted cowardly and did not hesitate. Within the time limit issued by the notice, they walked out of the mountains and lakes one after another to surrender to the government. They even joined some who opened illegal shops and committed murder and swindling goods.

, they were also afraid that the prince’s supernatural powers would seek them out, so they took the initiative to plead guilty and surrender.

For a time, scenes of robbers, bandits, and soldiers were being staged everywhere on the vast land of the lake. They bowed their heads outside the city gate and knelt down, crying and begging for mercy. This scene made people unable to believe their own eyes.

The bandits who have been causing harm for many years are surrendered like this?

Amid people's consternation, hundreds of thousands of bandits and their families were dispersed and resettled in various places. This was the request of the prince. In Zhu Guoqiang's view, many of the so-called "bandits" must have been forced to

Those who fall out of the grass and become bandits are forced by life, so they should be properly resettled like refugees. And the local officials who have been corrupted by Zhang Xianzhong are also willing to resettle them. After all, population is productivity. With these people, there will be tax revenue and income.

food.

Of course, some bandit leaders were sent to Wuchang, especially those with great reputations. Why send them here? Because these people are all notorious without exception. In this case, there must be blood debts on their hands.

.

Among these people, the most famous one is not the Hu bandit who robbed military supplies, but also the "Hu Guozhong" who has been rampant in the Huguang mountainous area all year round. His father is Han and his mother is Miao. At the age of 19, he led more than a dozen people to live among the grassroots.

The bandit, as early as the Tianqi period, had been on the government's wanted list and became the most famous bandit leader within hundreds of miles.

In the past years, the government and the army had carried out countless campaigns without success, or even lost troops and generals. When Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang and Huguang was ruined, he set up flags and strongholds in the mountains and attracted tens of thousands of refugees, but he never came down from the mountains.

A thief. Instead, he became the king of the mountain.

However, his happy days ended with a notice. After taking the exam for five days, he saw more and more people fleeing the village, and some even looked at him with murderous intent in their eyes, so

So he gathered everyone and decided to go down the mountain and surrender to the government.

Didn’t the general say that bygones are bygones?

No matter what, you can always save a life!

Hu Guozhong was thinking this in his heart.

His surrender made other people watching immediately make the decision to surrender. "The Hun Jiang Dragon" has surrendered, so what else do others have to hesitate?

That is to say, after the bandits surrendered one after another, more than a hundred famous bandit capitals, including Hu Guozhong, were sent to Wuchang, and the general wanted to see them.

Of course you have to meet them!

In fact, even Zhu Guoqiang himself did not expect that the effect would be so good. Originally, he just wanted to use the notice to intimidate some timid bandits to surrender. After all, not all bandits are real bandits, and many of them are just trying to survive.

They were forced to leave the grass, and even posted that notice specifically to avoid rogue bandits and military disasters. It was just to let these people go down the mountain, surrender, and return to the fields.

But who would have thought that it would actually scare everyone out.

At least most of the people were scared out of their wits. There was nothing they could do about it. Storytellers always said that they were gods and that they had all kinds of magical powers. How could a mortal be able to fight against a god?

"Are you just a wandering dragon?"

Listening to the general's question, Hu Guozhong, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly answered.

"Well, that's what outsiders call him. The villain's name is Hu Guozhong."

"Hun Jianglong... He was wanted by the government for killing people and selling goods three years ago."

Zhu Guoqiang asked,

"You have been a bandit for so many years and how many people have you killed."

Hu Guozhong replied quickly.

"Not many, not many, just three or five people. As long as they don't resist, the villain will never hurt them..."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zhu Guoqiang did not speak, but another bandit leader on the side spoke hurriedly.

"You're talking nonsense. In the second year of Chongzhen's reign, when you robbed Mr. Chen's house, you killed more than thirty people at once!"

"Um!"

Listening to the general's cold snort, Hu Guozhong could only answer truthfully:

"Hey, I really can't remember it clearly, it's been so many years."

Zhu Guoqiang asked again:

"How many people were killed?"

Seeing this, Hu Guozhong could only reply hesitantly:

"A hundred or ten, but maybe more."

One hundred and ten!

Looking at the seemingly honest-looking Hu Guozhong, Zhu Guoqiang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You are also a good man, why did you fall into the trap of being a bandit? Why do you have to hurt innocent people!"

Hu Guozhong, who was kneeling on the ground, loudly begged for mercy:

"General, spare your life, you poor people. Even the poor people couldn't live anymore. My family is indeed a good citizen, but what can good people do? Our ancestors were still military households for several generations, but the dozens of acres of land given by the court have long since been

It has been occupied by officers. What can we do? We can only escape to the mountains and open up wasteland for farming. But even so, we will be exhausted in the end and not have enough to eat. If we don’t kill people and don’t act like bandits and steal wealth, sooner or later we will have to eat.

Starve to death. Either way is death, you have to give it a try."

With a sad face, he continued:

"If there is a way to survive, I would also like to become a bandit. Who doesn't know that as long as you become a bandit, your ancestors will be unable to stand up for generations. Isn't it forced to kill people and steal goods?"

Zhu Guoqiang was silent, and the people around him also said nothing. Everyone knew that what he said was true. How many of these bandits were born? Just like those bandits, how many of them were born bandits.

Many of them take desperate risks because of their livelihood. Many of them are even forced by the government to rebel against the people. But even so, what can happen?

Killing is always killing. And he killed so many people!

After a long time, Zhu Guoqiang finally sighed.

"Well, no matter what, since you have so many lives on your hands, you will never be lenient. Let's kill these bandits and put up notices to inform the world that it is not the general who broke his promise, but they owe
