Chapter 432 Why did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty falter(1/2)

Crunchy~

A long queue of prison cars without end or end was crawling slowly on the streets of the imperial capital. The more than ten kilometers from the prison to the execution ground were crowded with people. Countless people were leaning their heads and looking back and forth curiously.

"What's the origin of this?"

"I heard he is a corrupt official from the Ministry of War."

"Okay, God has eyes, and finally someone can punish these corrupt officials!"

However, as time passed, one prison car passed by one after another, but after looking at the long queue of prison cars that could not be seen, the joy in the hearts of many onlookers gradually turned into surprise.

"This is too many people. Maybe there are thousands of people?"

In the past, officials protected each other, and for a year and a half, few people stood up to the law. Why did such a big battle suddenly occur this time?

But soon, some sitters who had been arranged in advance began to educate the public about the "glorious deeds" of the prisoners, which immediately caused an explosion along the way.

"What? They actually misappropriated the military funds allocated by the [Emperor] and then sold them to the enemy?"

"The soldiers on the front line bleed and shed tears, eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and are stabbed with knives in the back. No wonder we have been defeated repeatedly in these years!"

"Beasts!! It's these silverfish that brought the empire to this state!!"

…………

In the excitement of the crowd, countless citizens began to throw stones and feces at the prisoners. If the [Shenwu Army] hadn't stopped them along the way, thousands of prisoners would have been eaten alive on the spot.

Filled with rage, hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously moved to the outskirts of the Imperial City, close to the execution ground at the intersection of the Sanjing Grand Canal and Dachuan.

If they couldn't see with their own eyes the fate of these traitors today, they would probably be so angry that they couldn't sleep at night!

The surrounding buildings gradually became sparse, and the gloomy wind echoed in my ears. I don't know how many resentful souls died here from ancient times to the present. Even the bluestone slabs under my feet were soaked with strange black and red lines.

The long line of prison cars stopped slowly, and hundreds of prisoners were dragged to a huge high platform in the center of the execution ground.

The open and flat terrain allows people within a kilometer radius to clearly see every move on the high platform. A graceful and handsome young man in white is sitting on a high-backed chair, overlooking with interest the reactions of the insects before they die.

.

The messy figures with disheveled hair let out all kinds of strange howls, some cried bitterly, some begged for mercy, and some cursed viciously at the young man in white.

"Zhao Yinshun! You are so charming and charming to the Holy One, and you are causing harm to the country and the people. You must die a good death!"

"Vicious woman Li Min! You are a treacherous person! Before the bones of the late emperor were cold, you slaughtered the court and harmed the loyal! It is pity that my thousand-year-old kingdom of Damin was destroyed in one day!"

"The foolish king and traitorous ministers! You are acting against the will! Sooner or later, all the heroes in the world will kill you!!"

………………

Listening to the incompetent rage of these insects before their death, Zhao Yinshun pursed his lips, without any fluctuation in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

At this moment, an old man who barely maintained his demeanor took advantage of the soldiers escorting him to not pay attention, broke free from the restraints, and rolled and crawled not far away from the young man.

"Mr. Zhen Guo! I have something to say!"

Waving his hand to signal the soldiers who captured him to stop, Zhao Yinshun nodded with interest.

"Master Peng is honored to be the left minister of the Ministry of War. He is rich in knowledge and must have high opinions. Please give Shun Yan."

Slightly relieved, Peng Changxing quickly organized his words and warned him earnestly.

"Master [Zhen Guo Gong], it's not too late for you to stop now. If you don't know how to restrain yourself and compromise, you may be buried with Her Majesty the Queen!"

"oh?"

Raising his eyebrows, the boy in white raised his lips with a half-smile.

On the other side, seeing that the young man was "bluffed" by him, Peng Changxing quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"The policies you implemented in Luzhou took away people's land and affected the lives of powerful landlords all over the world. All the old people regard you as an enemy."

"Later, you destroyed [Confucian Forest] and changed [Confucian Temple], thus offending all the scholars in the world to death."

"Now you have gone even further and sent most of the court's meritorious service to prison. Don't you know that they are the real force that rules this empire?"

He calmly observed the young man's expression, but apart from a playful look that looked like a smile but not a smile, Peng Changxing could not see any changes at all, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to threaten.

"It is because of your policies that go against the people's will that the empire is falling apart and the heroes of the world are rising up. Isn't [Zhen Guo Gong] still awake?"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Her Majesty the Queen, right?"

"Do you really want to drag your majesty to commit suicide? Let her become the king of subjugation and a sinner for the ages?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yinshun finally couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"I thought that people who were about to die would be kind to their words, but I didn't expect that you insects would be so hopeless!"

"Going against the will of the people? In your eyes, the mud-legged people working in the fields are not people, they are just animals with two legs, right?"

"Ahem, [Zhenguo Gong] is wrong. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, and the ignorant people are ignorant and humble. How can they be compared?"

"Ah."

With a sneer, Zhao Yinshun pointed at the rows of solemn and majestic soldiers around him and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Did you see them?"

Peng Changxing nodded stiffly. He saw suppressed anger in the eyes of these soldiers, but there was no flicker in their gazes as they stared straight ahead. From this detail alone, you can see how elite warriors they are.

"They are the ignorant and contemptible idiots in your mouth..."

Immediately, Zhao Yinshun looked at the army that was as neat as stone sculptures and whispered softly.

"Tell him, will I win the hearts of the people?"

"Roar!!!"

Without the need for words, a deafening roar resounded for dozens of miles around. In response to the blood evil rising from the sky, a dark gold black dragon head covering the entire imperial capital slowly poked out of the clouds, staring at the execution ground greedily and violently.

The vision invisible to mortals was extremely clear in the eyes of the officials. Looking up at the terrifying evil dragon that was like a world-destroying beast, the noisy and chaotic high platform seemed to have pressed the pause button and stood still for an instant.

"A group of silverfish lying on the country's blood-sucking body actually call themselves the masters of the country?"

"Think I will compromise with you?"

"Foolish!"

"If a noble family rebels against me, I will slaughter all the noble families. If a noble family rebels against me, I will kill all the noble families. If the world rebels against me, I will wash the world with blood!"

"I am China, and my will is the will of the country!"

"And you are just the deformed rotten flesh on my body, a group of sores that need to be dug out..."

The boy in white lowered his head simultaneously with the dark gold black dragon in the sky, showing a cruel and cold smile.

"Now, it's time to clean up the mess."

Pa~

With a snap of his fingers, the soldiers with quick hands and feet tied the prisoners to the execution platform one by one, and then the soldiers lined up in orderly lines and came to the prisoners.

"No! What do you want to do?"

Breaking free from the divine oppression of the dark gold black dragon, Peng Changxing struggled violently and watched helplessly as a soldier took out a short knife as thin as a cicada's wing and made the first cut on his body.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

A piece of flesh as big as a palm was peeled off, and shrill screams echoed one after another on the high platform.

At the same time, more than a dozen prisoners on the execution platform seemed to understand something and let out pitiful wails.

"No! You can't do this to me. I can't punish you like a doctor...ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!"

Before he finished speaking, the first soldier handed the dagger to Pao Ze behind him and queued up again at the end of the line, allowing the second soldier to continue cutting.

"My lords, there are still many rookies in the [Shenwu Army] who have never seen blood. I am asking you to donate your body to open their eyes!"

Looking at a group of struggling insects, Zhao Yinshun smiled, but the depths of his pupils were cold.

"You have been benevolent. You have more than a hundred mud-legged people waiting for you when you die. Are you happy?"

"No! We can't commit such a crime! You can't Ling Chi...OoOoOoOo!!"

"Reselling military supplies, collaborating with outsiders, and committing treason against the country. Why can't we Ling Chi?"

"No! I did not treason! I was wronged!!"

"Then what happened to the Fuso War Bonds you purchased?"

"…………"

"What's going on with the local garrison, disobeying the Holy Order, and blocking the [Shenwu Army] from entering the capital?"

"…………"

"What happened to colluding with the Jizhou barbarians, buying off the Liaozhou defenders, and letting go of the Great Wall defense line?"

"…………"

"What happened to embezzling military supplies, causing frontline soldiers to suffer from hunger and cold, and causing large-scale non-combat attrition?"

Each person took turns to strike with a knife, and pieces of flesh and blood the size of a palm fell off the prisoner's body, revealing the bloody muscle fascia.

The prisoners, who were unconscious from the pain, struggled convulsively and cried out desperately for mercy.
