Chapter 1935: Although he sacrificed prisoners, he proved his crime
"Zhao Baihu, I ordered you to go to Suzhou to verify the Suzhou victory. Why did you come back? Is there anything important to report?"
In Under Emperor Jiajing's nod, Huang Jin took half a step forward and asked Zhao Ang, who was kneeling in the center of the hall.
“Replying to the Holy Lord, the Governor, all your lords, the humble ministers and others rushed to Suzhou overnight. On the way, they passed by Tianjin Wei Post Station and learned that a Suzhou general and his entourage were escorting Japanese pirate prisoners and their heads to the capital to present prisoners.
Hearing this, we immediately I remembered that when I was rushing to the outskirts of the capital last night, I encountered a group of people camping outside a village. This group of people might be the generals who were captured by Suzhou. So Wang Qianhu ordered his subordinates to return to review the matter. Continue to Suzhou for verification.
Beizhi returned to the capital. Due to the huge momentum of Suzhou's offering of prisoners, Beizhi found out their whereabouts as soon as he returned to the capital. Soon he found the Suzhou generals and his party who came to the capital to offer prisoners. The Japanese pirate prisoners and heads were basically true. Because the matter was serious, I did not dare to delay and came back to report it as soon as possible. "
Zhao Ang knelt on the ground, cupping his fists and reported.
Zhao Ang's words hit the hall like a comet, causing everyone in the hall to make a noise.
"What? The prisoners and heads of Suzhou are here?"
"Even the prisoners and heads of the Japanese pirates are here?"
"No way, could it be that Suzhou really achieved a great victory against the Japanese that is rare in a century, and they all came to the capital to offer prisoners."
"To offer prisoners? How many years have it been since they came to the capital to offer prisoners. 1 The first time the prisoners were sacrificed was during the reign of the late emperor Zhengde, Yangming Mr. Po Ning Wang offered prisoners. How could Zhu Ping'an and others from Suzhou come to the capital to offer prisoners?"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, especially Yan Dang and others, who were whispering to each other that they were offered prisoners by Suzhou Prefecture. The news of the prisoners caught them off guard.
Unexpectedly, Suzhou came to offer prisoners.
If Suzhou dares to come to the capital to offer prisoners, it must have some real materials that can withstand investigation before it dares to offer prisoners.
Is the Suzhou victory real? !
Impossible!
The Great Victory of Suzhou was such a glorious victory that had never happened in a hundred years. It was a great victory that would leave its name in history.
Zhu Pingan only had 2,000 Zhejiang troops, not 20,000. How could he achieve such a brilliant victory? !
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This is unacceptable to everyone in the Yan Party.
"Zhao Baihu, I want to ask you, how many Japanese pirates were captured by the Suzhou government?" Yan Maoqing couldn't help but ask.
“Back to my lord, I have resigned from my position. I also checked with General Liu, the person in charge of the prisoner surrender in Suzhou. A total of 482 Japanese prisoners were taken prisoner in Suzhou. Five of them were killed on the way. There are still Japanese prisoners left. Four hundred and seventy-seven people."
Zhao Baihu replied immediately.
"Hahaha, there are only 477 Japanese pirates captives. Suzhou's victory was enough to annihilate nearly 40,000 Japanese pirates. There are 477 Japanese pirates captives. How can young master prove Suzhou's great victory?!"< br>
When Yan Maoqing heard that Suzhou and his party had captured a total of 477 Ming Japanese pirates, he immediately seized on the loopholes of the Suzhou victory, laughed out loud, and self-righteously unveiled the fig leaf of the Suzhou victory.
Yan Maoqing's words directly started the mockery among the Yan Party members, and many people immediately followed the rhythm.
“That is, for a great victory of 40,000 people, only more than 400 prisoners were brought. The gap is too big.”
“Not only is the gap too big, it is like a sky. It’s a hundred times different, it’s ridiculous.”
"This sacrifice of prisoners directly proves that there is something wrong with the Suzhou victory! The Suzhou victory is a false report! Otherwise, why would only 400 Japanese pirates offer prisoners."
"You want to use 400 prisoners to prove a 40,000-person victory ? ! Isn’t this using ants to prove the elephant?”
“It’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous. This prisoner sacrifice in Suzhou is exactly what it is. Self-incrimination, this time they rushed to present the evidence! Haha, this can’t be considered as surrendering.”
Everyone in the Yan Party laughed one after another, saying four hundred. Japanese pirate prisoners cannot prove the great victory of Suzhou. On the contrary, the more than 400 Japanese pirate prisoners presented as prisoners by Suzhou can prove that the great victory of Suzhou is a false report and there is something wrong in it.
They relaxed now. Although it seemed that Suzhou had indeed achieved a great victory. After all, there were more than 400 Japanese prisoners captured, but this great victory was definitely not the 40,000 Japanese pirates mentioned in the Suzhou victory report!
Definitely not!
How can you use 400 Japanese prisoners to prove a great victory in wiping out 40,000 Japanese? It is obviously impossible!
Suzhou wanted to use this prisoner sacrifice to prove their victory in Suzhou, but they shot themselves in the foot. This prisoner sacrifice just proved that their victory report was false, and it just proved that their victory report was false. Exaggeration!
This is really greedy.
Tell me, Suzhou must have won this time. You captured 400 Japanese pirates. It was also a rare victory. The result was at least 2,000 to 3,000. This was already better than the Great Victory of Jihai. It's getting bigger.
You said, wouldn't it be great if you can honestly report victory? You can also get promoted and make a fortune, although it is definitely not as good as the 40,000 victory.
But you are so greedy that you actually reported a great victory worth 40,000 yuan. By falsely reporting a great victory, you deceived the court and deceived the Holy One. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Now it’s over. Not only will you be promoted to If you can't become an official, you can't make a fortune, and you still have to be punished. Haha, I made you greedy, and you deserve to be punished now!
This is what you asked for. Not only will you be convicted this time, but your head will also be required!
For the crime of deceiving the emperor, I’ll kill you, it’s not too much!
“Just the fact that they sacrificed four hundred prisoners is enough to prove their serious crime of falsely claiming military exploits, falsely claiming great victories, deceiving the court, and deceiving the emperor!”
"Punish them for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"The Suzhou magistrate still maintains the rule and pays it back. After all, he only repaid his role in defending the city. Zhu Ping'an killed 40,000 Japanese, so he can't escape if he deceives the emperor. , must be punished severely.”
Everyone in the Yan Party demanded that Zhu Ping'an be punished for the crime of Shang Wei. Some of them spoke up for Shang Wei, but towards Zhu Ping'an, everyone in the Yan Party was quite unanimous in their attitude, and they all demanded severe punishment.
Just when everyone in the strict party was mocking and demanding that Zhu Ping'an be punished, Xu Jie gave the censor Guo Kui a look.
Guo Kui immediately understood and stood up and asked Zhao Baihu, "Zhao Baihu, didn't you say that Suzhou and his party had sacrificed the heads of Japanese pirates? There were 477 Japanese prisoners. , where are the heads of the Japanese pirates? ”
After hearing Guo Kui's question, Yan Maoqing and other Yan Party members couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. They had been so busy mocking and happy that they had forgotten about the heads of Japanese pirates. However, there were only more than 400 Japanese prisoners. How many Japanese pirate heads could there be? .
Wouldn’t it be enough to hold up more than one thousand? Although there is more evidence than one thousand, it still cannot prove the great victory of forty thousand.
It still cannot change your sin of falsely reporting military exploits, deceiving the court, and deceiving the emperor.
Everyone in the Yan Party was not too worried. (End of this chapter)
