I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Jiang Rang is okay to say, but now Jiang Rang is old and frail after all. As the next head of the family, Jiang Xiang has a bad reputation in history.

For such a fool who had been a traitor in history, Zhu Youxiao knew that he had to kill him in the cradle.

You must know that Kong Youde's Wuqiao mutiny in history was so small in scale, but the damage caused to the entire Shandong could not be made up for ten years.

Once Jiang's general has the intention of rebelling, the damage caused by such a large-scale force will be ten times or a hundred times that of Kong Youde!

Guo Qin, who has fought in the battlefield for many years, naturally knows that in the current situation, it is difficult to make these rebellious Gansu soldiers obey without being ruthless.

So, he looked tiger-eyed at the wall and nodded.

The fence was opened, and a group of tied up Gansu generals were brought in, including two generals and four guerrilla generals.

These six people were all Jiang Shuang's former loyalists, and they were also the ones who had to be killed in this liquidation of Jiang's generals.

"These six people have sucked the blood of soldiers for many years, indulged their subordinates, misbehaved among the people, and robbed the women of the people, and they will not change after repeated admonitions!"

"Relying on some military merits, he regards himself very high, and completely ignores the court's laws and His Majesty's will!"

"This town will never show mercy to such a person, behead him!"

After saying that, a group of soldiers stepped forward and beheaded all six of them.

As the heads fell to the ground, the Gansu generals who were eager to try in the school grounds also fell silent.

Only then did they remember that the commander in front of them was not warm-hearted, and he was killed little by little by military exploits from young soldiers.

Looking at the whole world, how many people can reach the position of commander-in-chief from the small soldier step by step?

Guo Qin exuded a murderous look all over his body, glared and shouted: "Anyone else who disobeys His Majesty's will, stand up!"

The voice fell to the ground, and there was no sound in the school grounds.

Guo Qin nodded in satisfaction. This kind of thing didn't just happen in Gansu. Many generals who were loyal to Jiang's generals fell at the same time all over the country.

Daizhou, Shanxi.

Liu Hao, the general soldier of Daizhou, was sleeping soundly in the hall, but Xu Shouhui, the general soldier of Datong, rushed in with his men.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Liu Hao's eyes cannot be saved, and he will not be spared!"

Liu Hao was about to touch the big knife standing on the bed in a panic, but Xu Shouhui snatched it first and struck him with the knife.

Afterwards, Datong soldiers rushed forward and cut Liu Hao into pieces.

In Taiyuan, Shanxi, He Renlong, the deputy commander-in-chief, led a team to break into the mansion of Gaoye, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan.

Gao Ye was startled awake and said angrily, "He Renlong, what do you want?"

He Renlong smiled coldly, and said: "Following Governor Sun's order, Gao Ye, the Taiyuan General Soldier secretly communicated with the Jiang family, intending to rebel and kill the whole family!"

"kill!"

"He Renlong, don't forget, I pulled you up with one hand!" Gao Ye shouted angrily.

He Renlong laughed loudly, "I'm sorry, this kindness can only be repaid in the next life, and in this life, I will only obey His Majesty's will!"

"Give it to me!"

With an order, the soldiers stepped forward one after another. Gao Ye fought hard and killed two people. In the end, he was surrounded and hacked to death.

Subsequently, under the appointment of Sun Chuanting, He Renlong succeeded Gao Ye as the next Taiyuan General Soldier, and carried out a large-scale liquidation of Gao Ye's old department in Taiyuan.

……

Northwest Camp.

Standing in front of the sand table, Sun Chuanting looked at the locations of the castles in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces at this time, and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Wanbang said at the side: "Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are better, but the Jiang family has been in Yulin for decades, and it has already been deeply rooted. I am afraid that Guo Qin should kill a group of people and convince them with a few words." of."

"Let me go with the Datong Army!"

Sun Chuanting didn't want to go this far, but Jiang Rang, the general of Yulin, had such high prestige in the army that even he, the governor, couldn't match him.

After thinking for a while, he sighed, "Go."

Zhang Wanbang cupped his fists, then turned and walked out of the big tent.

Chapter 969 The Death of Jiang Rang

"Your Majesty, over there in Yulin..."

Hearing the words of Wang Zaijin, the chief assistant of the new cabinet, Zhu Youxiao's dizzy head was a little sober, and he had to sigh again in his heart.

Being the emperor of Ming Dynasty is really tiring!

"What happened to Yulin?"

"Governor Sun Shangshu sent Shanxi general Zhang Wanbang to lead troops to Yulin. Although the Jiang family is arrogant and domineering in various places, the head of the family, Jiang Rang, has never done so in his octogenarian years."

Wang Zaijin said: "Even if we want to liquidate the Jiang family, we have to wait until Jiang Rang passes away. I'm so eager, I'm afraid it will be cold."

"Jiang Rang, as the head of the family, turned a blind eye to the illegal behavior of his own children. Is this not a fault?" Zhu Youxiao sneered, regained his energy, and raised his hand to signal Gong'e to open the window.

As the fresh air entered the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao's heart felt much more comfortable. He leaned on the Kowloon throne and sighed:

"Wang Zaijin, do you know what I like about you and what annoys you?"

Wang Zaijin trembled all over, pretending to be listening attentively.

"I like that you are efficient, meticulous, and not afraid of offending others."

"What annoys you is that you are too pedantic and old-fashioned!" Having said this, Zhu Youxiao's expression was already a little sullen, "Jiang's family has more than ten people as general soldiers in various places, how huge it is A force."

"I will never allow such a force to threaten the rule of the court!"

"What's more, the Jiang family's children I killed may have made some mistakes, but most of them are guilty and worthy of punishment."

"Jiang Xun, the commander-in-chief of the Liangxiang Regiment, is engaged in local regiment training. The soldiers he leads are the court's local security forces, but what about him?"

"Using power for personal gain and embezzling military pay, I won't mention these things. Every brave man in the local area will be recruited by him in the name of his family."

"Taking my salary and eating my imperial rations, are you raising my soldiers?"

"The prince is not young now. In a few years, he will be able to leave the cabinet and recruit new officials in the East Palace to assist in political affairs. I want to take precautions for him."

Zhu Youxiao bitterly said: "I know that you are loyal to Daming, not me, and not the crown prince."

"So I both like you and annoy you."

When Wang Zaijin heard the emperor's evaluation of him, he also nodded in embarrassment.

"Your majesty is the one who knows you."

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to say more, and said: "You have to mobilize the six ministries and the cabinet to fully support the liquidation of Jiang's family."

"In the future, the whole country will reassess the acres of land and get rid of those big landlords, and the Huangzhuang will spread to the whole country. I can't tolerate the slightest mistake at this juncture."

"The old warlords in Yulin are lawless, so Sun Chuanting's request is for Zhang Wanbang to go."

Wang Zaijin knew that the emperor had a bigger revenge in mind, so he didn't say any more.

……

Yulin, Jiangfu.

Jiang Rang was dressed in armor, his beard and hair were all white, and the saber that had accompanied him on the battlefield for decades was in his hand. How sad he felt at this moment.

He never imagined that Emperor Tianqi would be so heartless and ungrateful.

Think of my Jiang family, who fought bloody for the Tianqi Dynasty for decades, how many men died in battle!

The Jiang family has developed from a humble young general in Yulin to the number one general in Jiubian and even the whole world in decades.

And he, Jiang Rang himself, has outstanding military exploits and military prestige. Even in the army, his prestige is no less than Zhang Wanbang, a famous Shanxi general who came from behind.

Jiang Rang didn't understand that he had been conscientious and conscientious all his life, and never dared to cross the threshold. What made the emperor make up his mind to liquidate the Jiang family?

"Father handsome!"

The children of the Jiang family knelt in front of him one after another, all filled with righteous indignation.

"The emperor has no way, is merciless and ungrateful, you lead us back!"

"Father!"

"At this moment, we must not hesitate any longer, Zhang Wanbang has already left the city!"

As soon as the words fell, a servant ran over.

"Commander, the Datong Army has besieged Yulin City and set up heavy artillery around the city. This is a personal letter shot into the city!"

A little clarity appeared in Jiang Rang's muddy eyes, and he took the letter and read it carefully.

This word is square and powerful, and the whole article does not look fancy at all, just like a square square.

Jiang Rang knew that this was indeed Zhang Wanbang's own handwriting.

As a general, to be able to write such characters, it can only be said that Wanbang has put in a lot of effort on weekdays.

Looking at it, Jiang Rang's eyes suddenly changed.

"When you are seventy years old, you should think of yourself to be good in order to keep the evening. Daming has raised you for a thousand days, and you want to repay your kindness. Don't try your own methods and make your life's battle field come to naught."

"You should also know how much kindness you have given me and other generals today. Your Majesty has dedicated his life to exterminating the captives. Now that the great cause has been accomplished, you actually plan to mobilize soldiers in the mansion to create rebellion. Isn't it extremely ungrateful?"

"Even if you want to make a disaster, you should think about it. Is there anyone in the world who is blind? You should quickly put down your weapons and spend the whole night. This commander will also report to His Majesty, tell the truth, and seek a life for your children. "

After reading this, Jiang let the letter in his hand drop to the ground.

Yes, even if you rebel, it won't help.

This Emperor Tianqi, whose prestige in the army is unmatched, rebelled by himself, just like Sapphire's rebellion, without any chance, instead he forced himself to the Jiang family to go to a dead end.

Jiang Rang had no intention of resisting now. He picked up the saber leaning on the side, drew out the shiny blade, and couldn't help admiring:

"You accompanied me to kill so many enemies, but you are still so sharp."

"Unfortunately, unfortunately..."

After saying that, Jiang Rang swung his knife and killed himself.

With the clang of the saber falling to the ground, countless Jiang's children wailed loudly, bowed and shouted on the ground, and some even got up and drew their sabers, and were about to go out and fight to the death with the Datong army.

But except for the diehard Jiang family, the surrounding Yulin generals were all indifferent.

Jiang Rang was dead, and the hope of victory was even slimmer. What's more, they all had families, and the imperial court gave them very generous preferential treatment for joining the army. No one was willing to take this risk to rebel.

"What happen to you guys?"

"The imperial court is so heartless and ungrateful, forcing my father to death, you just watch like this?"

"Sooner or later it will be your turn!"

As soon as the Jiang family's children finished speaking, the ground under their feet trembled.

However, the Datong Army had already marched into Yulin City, Zhang Wanbang didn't fire any cannons, and the Datong Army didn't shout to kill, they just entered the city quietly like this.

The sound of iron armor and leaves intersecting echoed in the streets and alleys. Yulin's defenders all threw down their weapons and watched the Datong army stepping on the bluestone road in the city in a uniform manner.

"Zhang Wanbang, I will kill you!"

Seeing Zhang Wanbang riding on a tall horse, a Jiang family boy picked up Jiang Rang's saber, shouted frantically and rushed away.

Zhang Wanbang's expression remained unchanged and he did not move.

The Jiang family boy had just rushed a few steps, when a few shocking sounds came from the formation of the Datong Army, and the Qin Bingying used the most advanced rapid-fire handgun to shoot precisely at him.

Zhang Wanbang looked at these Jiang family children who were kneeling and crying bitterly, and took out a copy of the order from Sun Chuanting, Governor of Shanxi Province.

"The governor ordered Cao Wenzhao, the deputy commander in chief of Liaodong, to be the successor of Yulin commander in chief, and the Yulin army will be reorganized and rectified!"

When the news was sent back to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao was a little moved when he heard that Jiang Rang committed suicide without resistance, and said after thinking for a while.

"The Jiang family's children and subordinates who intend to resist, and their subordinates are relatives, they will be killed regardless, and the rest will be sent to the frontier to guard the border."

Wang Zaijin nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, how will Jiang Rang deal with it?"

Zhu Youxiao asked back: "Jiang Rang, didn't he die when he attacked Hetuala City?"

9 Chapter Seventy

Jiang's generals can be regarded as the top sunflowers among generals in various places today, with three commanders on the nine sides and 14 generals from all over the country, it can be said to be a moment of glory.
