Chapter 372 Beheading

Under the non-stop expedition of Wu Sangui's 200,000 army day and night, Fujian was completely occupied by him. Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to lead his family minister and Emperor Longwu to Taiwan and fight with the Dutch on the island.

After Wu Sangui occupied Fuzhou, he took the Fuzhou Palace as his own palace. And sent troops to four provinces: Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi and Guangdong. These four places are already his last territory, and there can't be any more loss. Then Wu Sangui began to conscript again, and the number of troops soon reached 400,000.

Of course, due to the rapid increase of soldiers, the salary in his hand began to be lacking. It must not work without food, so Wu Sangui ordered a tax and a grain levy. Suddenly, the people of these four provinces were tossed around. The rebels continued, countless exiles emerged, and many people starved to death on the streets. No one buried the body, and there was even a scene of dogs eating people.

Wu Sangui's brutal rule led to continuous resistance. The people here thought about the arrival of the Pingbei Army, and countless people fled to the place controlled by Liu Xiaping's Bei Army. For a while, southerners fled to the north one after another.

Wu Sangui naturally did not allow these people to escape from his control, so he immediately sent soldiers to intercept them. In the end, Wu Sangui was furious and cut off all the captured people as a deterrent.

When Liu Xia heard about this, she immediately came forward to pay tribute to these dead people. The scene was grand. It attracted millions of people from all over the world. Liu Xia's move won the hearts of the people.

Although Wu Sangui killed so many fleeing people, he still couldn't stop the people from escaping from the four southern provinces. Compared with the behavior of Wu Sangui and Liu Xia, no one will think that Wu Sangui is a wise king. A cruel person will never win the hearts of the people.

So the escape also became the junction between the Pingbei Army and the four southern provinces, which became two completely different worlds.

Once the people fled to the Pingbei Army, Wu Sangui's soldiers would consciously not chase and kill, but if they did not escape, the Pingbei Army would not come to help. After all, Liu Xia is not ready to launch a full-scale war, so she must abide by some rules.

Time flies, and 165 has become history. The spring of 1652 has arrived. In the past eight or nine months, the activities of the Pingbei Army have been relatively stable.

The Jungar Khanate in the Western Regions has not yet been pacified, and Kyushu Island has been completely captured. The southern part of the Korean Peninsula has officially become the base of the navy. Dorcon took those Talican Hanchens and fled to Horqin and other places in Heilongjiang. The strength has been greatly reduced. All the west of Shenyang has been recovered. At this point, the chaos of the Taris has basically calmed down.

Wu Sangui and Liu Xia in the south are still deadlocked. Except for Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and half of Jiangxi controlled by Wu Sangui, other places are completely controlled by Liu Xia. The war between the Army of Beasts and the King of Burmese has ended, and the Army of Beasts has won a complete victory, occupying several provinces in northern Myanmar. And under Liu Xia's instructions, the local poppies were destroyed. Of course, it is impossible to destroy it all, but expand a piece of land for planting, and ordinary people are not allowed to contact it. After the opium is made, it is sold to the West.

Opium actually became a tribute in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, many emperors and ministers smoked opium, but because opium was expensive, ordinary people could not afford it. But Liu Xia knows the harm of opium.

This is a drug that can turn a nation into a sick man. Although opium does have some medicinal value, it must be used with caution.

Then Liu Xia began to explicitly prohibit any officials in the Pingbei Army and the government from smoking opium. Once found, he would be dismissed. In this era, no one knows that there will be an opium war that will humiliate the Chinese people in a hundred years.

So, Liu Xia began to think about how to transport opium to the West. Earn money.

In April, the construction of Zhongyi Square was completed, and then Liu Xia went to Zhongyi Square in person for review. After the review was completed. In two days, Hong Chengchou, who was detained in prison, was pulled out, and he would become the first person to behead in Zhongyi Square.

In the center of Zhongyi Square is a guillot. To the north of the guilloine are the three emperors and five emperors and the anti-abortive heroes of the previous dynasties, and in the south, they knelt down and bought traitors.

In the past few months, Hong Chengchou has suffered from physical and mental torture every day. Now he is not a man, but his head is still very clear.

Today, the people in Luoyang City came to hear the news and surrounded the huge Zhongyi Square. Coupled with Liu Xia's personal arrival, it made the people scramble to come. As for whether to kill traitors or want to witness Liu Xia's heroic posture, it is not clear.

"Hong Chengchou, a traitor!"

"Hong Chengchou, a traitor!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill his dog. It's mother-in-law."

When Hong Chengchou was pressed up, countless crusades sounded, which was really deafening.

Hong Chengchou was kicked in the back leg by the soldiers behind him, and then knelt heavily on the guillotine. Next to him stood a fat and topless head sweating. Another man next to the big man was rinsing his mouth with a bowl of wine.

A sharp machete in his hand was dazzling in the sun.

Liu Xia walked on the stage, surrounded by several guards around him and closely protected him. He walked forward, looked at Hong Chengchou, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Hong Chengchou, do you think about what will happen today?"

Liu Xia sneered and glanced contemptuously at Hong Chengchou, who had a stench all over his body, his hair was full of pimples, and his eyes were already turbid.

The wrinkled face slowly raised, and there was regret in his eyes. Looking at Liu Xia, he looked a little scared and unwilling. His dry lips spit out heavily and said, "Since it has come to this point, how to deal with it, whatever you want, my lord." After saying that, Hong Chengchou lowered his head and closed his eyes. It seems to be indifferent and indifferent, which makes Liu Xia quite unhappy.

Liu Xia was thinking in her heart, "You are just a traitor, but now you are acting so righteously, as if I have no way."

Thinking of this, Liu Xia is even more unhappy. He scolded: "You have betrayed the nation and the people. He is willing to degenerate, helps Zhou to abuse, kills countless people, and his hands are stained with the blood of the people. Even killing you thousands of times is not enough to pay tribute to the dead. Now that God has detected it, it is really gratifying that such a shameless person like you has fallen into the hands of the king. It is a blessing for the people. Not killing is not enough for the anger of the people, and not killing is not enough to gather the hearts of the people. Today's three o'clock in the afternoon is the time when your soul returns to hell and endures the punishment of ten thousand years of the 18th floor of hell.

After saying that, Liu Xia brushed her sleeves and waited for Liu Xia to go far away. After that, Hong Chengchou, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes and his head was lower. Two lines of blood and tears flowed out. The snow-white hair blew through a shiver. Liu Xia's words deeply pierced his heart. These days, every day, he can dream of countless wronged souls coming to him for their lives. I dreamed of suffering in hell again. This often wakes him up in nightmares.

It's still early today. Zhongyi Square was already surrounded by the people who came to hear the third floor outside the inner three floors. Liu Xia couldn't get out, so she simply stopped going out and prepared to wait until the end of the execution.

Slowly, the third quarter of noon finally arrived. After Liu Xia's order, the executioner next to Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "In the next life, I will have a good baby and be a good person!" After saying that, before he could see the action clearly, Hong Chengchou's head had flown into the air, and the blood around his neck shot out like a fountain. The executioner's face was covered with hot blood.

Countless people outside the court shouted.
