The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Modern people can often see on TV that officials sentence prisoners to be executed at three quarters in the afternoon.

In fact, not everyone was beheaded at three quarters of noon.

Affected by the common superstition of people in ancient times, beheadings were also carried out in different degrees, and were carried out at different times. Generally, beheadings were carried out at noon, so that the person could die with a ghost;

For repeat offenders or heinous criminals, the operation must be performed at [-]:[-] noon, because at this time the yang energy is strongest, and the yin energy immediately dissipates after death, so that the person cannot even become a ghost.

Naturally, Shi Lang and his accomplices committed extremely heinous crimes, and they could not escape the three-quarter-noon beheading time.

Emperor Zhu Da, who was still dressed as an ordinary general on the high platform, glanced at the time and then at the growing crowd, and then glanced at the officer next to him who was responsible for questioning.

The latter immediately stood up and walked forward behind the prisoners kneeling on the ground.

Then he raised the long charge in his hand.

"The criminal Shi Lang, whose ancestral home is Runing Prefecture, Henan, was a subordinate general under Zheng Zhi, the former chief military officer of Fujian Town. In the 19th year of Chongzhen, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Zheng..."

The officer took the long indictment and read it out slowly.

Generally speaking, criminals who need to be executed will not be read out the crime they committed, because their crimes are recorded on the guilt card inserted behind the neck of the death row prisoner.

But the crimes Shi Lang committed cannot be recorded on a small crime card.

Moreover, Shi Lang is very different in the eyes of the people in coastal Fujian and in the eyes of the people in Taiwan.

In the eyes of Taiwanese people, Shi Lang was a big traitor and a corrupt official who committed all kinds of evil and would not regret his death.

In front of the people of Quanzhou and Xiamen, Shi Lang mostly played the role of a benevolent Qingtian Lord.

These people did not know Shi Lang's past, nor did they know how many crimes he had committed.

Therefore, Emperor Zhu Da believed that it was necessary to set the record straight and let the common people truly understand what kind of person this General Shi Lang was who jumped repeatedly.

When the officer first read out Shi Lang's crimes, the people below had no reaction. However, as the charges became more and more numerous and they saw the indictment that was so long that it stretched to the floor, the people's expressions changed.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly amiable Marquis Jinghai could be such a "character".

"kill him!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill this Tatar lackey."

"Pay with blood, kill him and avenge my countless Han people!"

……

The people were furious and shouted loudly.

At this time, the officer finally finished reading out the long list of charges.

"Rebel General Shi Lang has committed a heinous crime against the country and the people! Tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor Yun will give an order: Shi Lang and his accomplices will be executed immediately! All their family property will be confiscated!"

"It's three quarters past noon! Kill!"

As soon as the word behead came out, the executioners who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward, pulled out the prison card stuck on the back of the prisoner's neck, and threw it aside.

The ghost-headed sword is held high, its cold light is commanding.

Blood flashed and heads rolled

Group after group of prisoners were pushed onto the execution platform.

Shi Lang, who had just been promoted to the governor of Fujian by Kang Xi, and his group of rebel generals and followers finally ended their "magnificent" life amidst the shouts and curses of countless people.

……

The news that Haicheng City was destroyed and Shi Lang and his followers were beheaded soon spread to Fuzhou, which shocked all the Qing officials.

They originally thought that with the obstruction of Haicheng City's high walls and cannons, Shi Lang would be able to last ten days and a half.

But who would have thought that in just a day or two, not only had the city been breached, but everyone had been beheaded en masse.

Zhang Zhongju, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, couldn't help but feel lucky that he followed the advice of Fujian general Wu Qiyuan and did not send troops to support Shi Lang.

Otherwise, the reinforcements may still be halfway on the way, and Haicheng City will have been breached. Fuzhou will be empty by then. If the Ming army attacks again, the situation will be unimaginable.

"Quick, write the letter immediately!"

"The Ming army is attacking fiercely, with at least 5 soldiers under its control. Now, Xiamen has been lost, Haicheng City has been destroyed, the entire Fujian Navy has been wiped out, and Jinghai Marquis Shi Lang and his generals have all been beheaded by the Ming army. Please call the court immediately. If reinforcements are delayed, Fujian will be in danger!"

"Eight hundred miles hasten the military situation and send it to the capital as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhongju said quickly.

Within just a few days, urgent letters had already been sent to the capital three miles and eight hundred miles away.

Of course this is just the beginning.

Kang Xi would never have imagined that in the next period of time, urgent letters from eight hundred miles away would become the norm.

The eight hundred miles of urgent letters he received in a short period of time will be much more than he has received in his entire life, or in other words, the entire Tatar dynasty.

The letter asking for help was sent, but it did not bring any peace of mind to Zhang Zhongju.

Fujian is too far away from the capital!The one-way delivery time takes six to seven days, seven to eight days.

After Kangxi received the letter, he had to convene the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to discuss how to respond.Then it will take time to mobilize troops, and it will be at least a month before the army arrives in Fujian.

Within a month, the grass on their graves had grown several inches tall.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongju knew very well that if they wanted to defend Fuzhou City, they had to rely on themselves.

Can you hold it?

"General Hu, are you sure you can defend Fuzhou City?" Zhang Zhongju looked at Hu Qiyuan beside him and asked.

Hu Qiyuan's expression was not very good and he did not answer immediately.

Two days ago, he was relatively confident in holding Fuzhou City, at least for a while.

After all, he currently has an army of more than 2 people. Although the green camp soldiers account for the majority, the number is there after all.

Moreover, the defending side has a natural advantage. It is not impossible to defeat 2 people against 5 people.

And now?He wasn't sure anymore.

Haicheng City, which had tens of thousands of defenders, was captured by the Ming army in one day.

Although the city wall of Haicheng City is not as tall as the city wall of Fuzhou, it was breached in just one day. This news was too shocking to him.

"Governor Zhang, we know very little about the Ming army at present, but judging from the battles in recent days, this Ming army that suddenly appeared is by no means the former Ming army with low morale and poor equipment that we are familiar with. "

"They can easily defeat the Fujian Navy and break through Haicheng City, so it may not be difficult for them to capture Fuzhou City."

"So my suggestion is to abandon Quanzhou and its surrounding small cities and gather troops from all cities in Fuzhou to ensure that Fuzhou is not lost!"

Hu Qiyuan said with a serious expression.

"This……"

Zhang Zhongju was in a dilemma. If he acted according to Wu Qiyuan's plan, it would be equivalent to handing over a large area around Fuzhou to the Ming army.

It would be fine if Fuzhou was defended. If not, even if he did not die in the hands of the Ming army, Kangxi would not let him go.

But now, it seems there is no better way.

After a long time, Zhang Zhongju gritted his teeth.

"In that case, just follow what the general said!"
