Chapter 443 Heavenly punishment
The Qin army returned triumphantly.
Zuoxidong Village, where Qin Lang was seated at this time, was named Chongzuo, and it was the seat of Zuozhou Prefecture and Chongzuo County.
When Qin Yong led the Qin army to the Chongzuo River wharf on a Mulan boat, Zuoxi barbarian king Fu Sanqin led the leaders of Zuoxi eighteen streams to greet him.
Eighteen chiefs of Zuoxi, also eighteen governors of Jili Prefecture, all of them put on the scarlet robes and leather belts of the Tang Dynasty, with different expressions.
The red flag is fluttering, and the thousand material Mulan boat is docked.
A team of victorious Qin troops stepped on the pedals to disembark, all with their chests up and their morale high. In front of the barbarians, they have the capital to be proud and complacent.
In just one night, they ran for hundreds of miles and destroyed a barbarian village with thousands of households, a big village whose strength in Zuoxi was only slightly lower than that of the eighteen chiefs. If it wasn't for Qin Lang's intentional pursuit of the numbers of 18 on the left and right of the two streams, and a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, in fact, with the strength of Shuikou village, it is completely enough to set up a state and seal a governor.
And now, it is such a sturdy Qianhu Village, which was directly wiped out by Qin Lang.
Whether it is Fusan or the governors, each of them has seen the other side of Qin Lang besides smiling in Xunzhou and Yongzhou, which is the ruthless side.
If you say kill, you will kill, if you say wipe, you will wipe.
Qin Yong rode off the boat and delivered a red sandalwood box to Qin Lang.
"Xuanxiang, this is the head of Huang Tianhu, the barbarian king of Shuikou village. At the end, he will be ordered by Xuanxiang to kill this madman who dared to rob and kill our Tang officials and **** the red sandalwood used to build the Ming Palace. Please take a look at it."
Qin Lang smiled slightly.
He looked at the third-ranked barbarian king, "The truth is that I have never met this barbarian, let alone the face of such a thieves. Why don't I trouble the governor of Fusan to verify the head for the truth!"
Qin Yong came to Fusan with the box, and opened the box directly in front of him.
In the box made of precious red sandalwood, although Huang Tianhu's head had been processed and pickled with lime to prevent it from rotting immediately, there was still a stench coming over his face.
The face of that head is even more ferocious.
Fusan frowned.
Qin Yong said, "Could it be that the governor is too far away to see clearly?" He said and gave the handle forward again, and this time it almost reached Fu San's mouth directly.
The stench of the dead body hit his forehead, and Fusan almost vomited.
Quickly stretched out his hand and pushed it away, "It is indeed him, it is Huang Tianhu."
"Let other governors also take a look, lest the Fusan governors get it wrong." Qin Lang said.
So Qin Yong, with his iron armor still on his body, an iron bow on his back, a silver hammer on his waist, and a **** horizontal knife in one hand, and a red sandalwood box in the other hand, went to the barbarians one after another. In front of the governors, bring Huang Tianhu's head in front of them, let them look at it carefully.
Everyone saw Huang Tianhu's miserable appearance clearly.
A person who was very arrogant in the past was also a fearless figure in Zuojiang, but now he died so tragically and ended up like this.
Everyone said that this was Huang Tianhu.
"Bah, this dog is also worthy of the name of Tianyonghu? This court must avoid the word tiger, so I think this dog should be renamed Huangdichong." Qin Lang waved his hand disdainfully, and asked Qin Yong to put away his head.
"Pass the head of the yellow earth worm to the streams in the eighteen prefectures of the Zuojiang River, so that the barbarian kings and leaders in each stream can take a good look at the end of this arrogant rebel. After the Zuoxi pass, send it to the Youxi pass First of all, after Youxi has passed on the head, it will be sent to Dunijiang and Manjiang to pass on the head, and then it will be sent to Guangxi Zhuzhou for public display, and finally it will be presented to the Imperial Palace!"
All the barbarian kings couldn't help but secretly startled when they heard this, they wouldn't give them peace even after they died.
After such a round of display, it is estimated that no one will be enough for two or three years. It is not easy to ensure that a head will not rot for two or three years.
Those who obey will live, and those who go against will perish.
Before Qin Lang was in Guizhou, Xunzhou and Yongzhou, he was indeed very friendly and enthusiastic with the barbarians, but once he encountered such uncivilized barbarians who dared to die, Qin Lang also showed an extremely ruthless side, absolutely No mercy.
One must be killed as an example to others.
Drum horns sounded.
Teams of Qin soldiers came down from the boat. They were wearing iron armor and holding their spears high. Each of them had a Manding head from Shuikouzhai stuck in the tip of their spears.
Qin Yong was next to him and loudly reported his experience of breaking through the barbarian stronghold that day.
"Under the order of Minister Xuan, we rushed hundreds of miles at night to fight Nishuikouman. When we arrived at the gate of the Manzhai, there was thunder from the sky, and the thunder hit the gate of the Manzhai with anger."
"As a result, the gate of Shuikou Village was destroyed, and more than a hundred barbarians who guarded the gate were killed by the thunderbolt. This day, God helped us and the king to fight against the rebellion. Our army's morale was high, and we took advantage of the situation to attack the barbarian village. The barbarian king Huang Dichong also tried to resist stubbornly. He corrected hundreds of barbarians and defended the barbarian palace, but just as we were about to attack, the sky sent down several thunderbolts one after another, smashing the impregnable five-storey barbarian palace, burning the house, killing and injuring the yellow ground worms. In the end, I had no choice but to rush out of the mansion, and I led the crowd to defeat and kill him on the spot..."
Thunder Fury.
Punishment from heaven.
These words were so magical that many barbarian kings were taken aback for a while.
But these barbarian kings are also local snakes. As soon as Qin Yong sent troops, they all sent people to observe in secret. Although I didn't dare to get too close to the battle in Shuikou Village, I did watch it from afar.
Sky thunder smashed the gate of the Manzhai, and finally smashed the mansion of the Man Wang. These are indeed consistent with the report.
They couldn't think of any other explanation, so they all thought it was because Huang Tianhu robbed and killed court officials, offended the mighty dragon, and the emperor of the Central Plains was angry in Chang'an, so God sent Lei Pili to Shuikou Village to help Qin Lang's men break through the power The extremely strong Shuikou Village.
Apart from this, they can't think of other possibilities.
When Qin Yong asked people to bring up more than a hundred corpses of Man Ding who had been killed by the thunderbolt, all the barbarian kings observed carefully and found that there were smoky smoke and many scorched places on the corpses. The appearance of the fire is indeed similar to the appearance of being struck by lightning.
Now they believe even more.
Qin Lang took advantage of the situation and uttered a few words about the serious consequences of the emperor's thunderous wrath, causing the barbarian kings to kneel down one after another.
Qin Yong continued to report the results of the battle.
Shuikouman had more than a thousand people. Qin used them to attack the stronghold, beheaded 373 people below Huangdichong, and captured the rest. A total of more than 5,000 people were captured and returned.
The back cabin was full of captives.
In addition, there are many trophies, such as cattle, pigs, chickens and ducks, which have not yet arrived and brought back. In addition, they also found several batches of timber and commercial goods that were previously intercepted by Shuikouman, and rescued many people who were robbed by Shuikouman. s population. Most of them are barbarians from other villages, and a small part are Han merchants.
As for the group of officials and merchants who were robbed earlier, they have been sold elsewhere by Shuikouman.
"Do you know where the person was sold?"
"Sold them to Lang Son, but Lang Son Man will most likely resell them to Jiaozhi."
Qin Lang sneered after hearing this.
His smile made the barbarian kings even more frightened.
Man villages with more than 5,000 people will be destroyed if they are said to be destroyed. There are only twenty or thirty Man villages of this scale in the entire Zuoxi. Which village has a long history, hundreds or even thousands of years of inheritance?
The barbarian kings couldn't help but began to whisper directly in front of Qin Lang, arguing in barbaric words.
Some people said that Qin Lang was too ruthless, maybe they shouldn't accept the consolation.
"The official position of the governor and the title of Earl Marquis are all fake. Look at Huang Tianhu's fate in Shuikou Village. He just robbed a few small officials and was wiped out."
"What did you say? Just robbed a few small officials? Nong, you and Huang Tianhu are related by marriage, so don't just speak for him. How many times did Chief Fu say that you can't rob and kill traders, you can't destroy the Zuoxi Waterway, you have to Otherwise, no merchants will come in in the future, let alone the officials of the court. Those people can't be moved, can't be moved, but do you listen? Huang Tianhu dared to rob and kill the officials at this juncture, and even dared to sell them as slaves openly. Isn't that right? What is courting death?"
"You idiots, now you only know how to give up. Huang Tianhu died today, maybe tomorrow it will be your turn. If you don't want to be slaughtered like this, we have to unite and resist."
Fusan listened to the arguments of these people with a cold face.
"You want to accompany Huang Tianhu, you go by yourself, don't pull us!"
Qin Lang let them whisper there, and even turned into a public quarrel in the end, and even fought in the end.
He was just watching.
The barbarian kings are very loud, even if they speak barbaric language, there are quite a few barbarian speakers around him, so he doesn't know what they are fighting for, but this is what he wants.
The barbarian king surnamed Nong wanted to provoke other barbarian kings to rebel against the imperial court. He was Huang Tianhu's brother-in-law, and the two villages had always had a good relationship. It's a pity that even Fu San was unwilling to stand up for Huang Tianhu.
Death is death, anyway, he was Zuoxi's thorn in the head, and he never listened to his orders. Now that Huang Tianhu is dead and the entire Shuikou Village has been destroyed, Fu San is not only not sad at all, but rather happy.
It can be regarded as borrowing the hand of the court, except for this thorn.
As for other harms, he is of course aware of them, but now, even the generals such as Feng An, Tan Dian, Ning Ju, Li Xizhi, Li Guangdu, and Chen Longshu have obediently surrendered and loyal to the imperial court. ?
The surnamed Huang and the surnamed Nong have always only known what is going on in the nest, and they don't know what's going on outside.
When the quarrel was almost over, Qin Lang smiled and asked the surname Nong.
"The governor of Nong seems to have a problem with the court's truth?"
Nong's surname saw that Qin Lang's tone was not kind at this time, but he still didn't want to admit it. He said Qin Lang was unfair and shouldn't have killed Huang Tianhu, and said that he had no evidence and so on.
"Evidence? Hahaha, it's good if you don't mention this. If you mention it, I really have some good things for Governor Nong to read together."
"Qin Yong, take out the things you found in Shuikou Village and shine a light on them."
When Qin Yong took out the evidence from Shuikouzhai that Huang Tianhu and Nongfude sent troops to attack Datang officials' ships together, there were witnesses and physical evidence.
The attack on the official ship was mainly caused by Huang Tianhu's people, but Nongford was indeed involved, and he was in the team at the time. Nongfud also distributed a lot of the looted goods.
"Nongfude, as the newly appointed governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, you dare to attack official ships, rob and kill officials, and sell the captured officials into slavery. You are so brave, and now you dare to openly incite other governors to do so. Chaos, what should you do!"
Qin Lang gave a loud shout.
Nong Fude's complexion changed drastically, he didn't expect Qin Lang to know this so quickly.
"You are being framed!"
"You want to destroy all the hills in our Zuoxi River!"
Qin Lang sneered a few times, "Death is imminent, and you still want to incite?"
