Wang Tianhao didn't move at all. He knew that those people who usually didn't put him in their eyes would soon be executed.
He could not help but feel a sense of relief when he heard the screams of people on the verge of death from afar.
He had disliked these people for a long time.
These people treated the Donglin Party as their backers, relying on them to get a position in the army, and then became their fangs to plunder the people wantonly.
He felt disdain in his heart, but he did not dare to act rashly due to the influence of the Dong Lin Party.
The first thing Yang Jing did when he arrived today was to get rid of these malignant tumors. It was simply a huge part of the people's hearts!
In less than 15 minutes, only a few people remained from the hundreds of thousand-and-hundred-households behind Wang Tianhao.
As for the remaining few, including Wang Tianhao, they were considered good officials who did not make any major mistakes.
There was a small mistake, but it was not a big deal.
Yang Jing saw that the cleaning was almost done, so he dismounted and walked in front of Wang Tianhao, helping him up from the ground.
Wang Tianhao was a proper official and never colluded with the Donglin Party. Yang Jingyuan had heard of this when he was in Wuyuan County.
He could be considered one of the generals of the late Ming Dynasty with a backbone.
Surrendering today was probably because Nan Zhili had given up on the Hui Prefecture and he had no choice.
After all, the Hui Prefecture soldiers had no chance of winning this battle.
If they continued to fight, not only would they waste manpower and resources, but they would also not be able to defend the city.
Instead of becoming Yang Jing's enemy, it was better to surrender and hug a big tree.
Although Wang Tianhao was righteous, he was more sensitive as an official.
If he wanted to use this person, he would have to polish him.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing smiled and said," Lord Wang is alert and knows how to judge the situation. You can also see the current situation clearly. I admire you very much."”
Wang Tianhao heard the hidden meaning in Yang Jing's words and smiled awkwardly.
It was true that Yang Jing, who could train 100,000 elite soldiers in a short period of time, was not a fool.
It was impossible for Yang Jing to not know why he had surrendered.
"Lord Wang's small mistake is nothing compared to the 80,000 soldiers you've offered," Yang Jing continued.”
"I will remember this favor."
"We are all people who have been fighting in the army. Let me tell you the truth. This Seat's goal is not to be enemies with Great Ming.”
Yang Jing's words had a hidden meaning. Wang Tianhao understood and was shocked.
The young man in front of him didn't just want to separate the Great Ming Empire, he wanted to protect the Han Empire!
Wang Tianhao couldn't help but be moved.
The north had been invaded by the Manchu wild boar skin for many years, but Da Ming was unable to fight back.
As a general, he was really anxious.
Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the others successively separated the Ming Dynasty and made themselves kings. They were only doing this for their own interests. They had never considered the Manchu Dynasty outside Shanhaiguan.
But now, this young man in front of him was actually speaking frankly, stating that his goal was to restore the Han Dynasty.
Yang Jing's scheme was so big that he felt a little guilty for self-harm, as he only wanted to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade.
He looked at the high-spirited Yang Jing and was sure that he had made the right bet.
This young man would definitely do what the Zhu family of the Great Ming couldn't do for more than a hundred years.
Perhaps he would lead all the Han people in the world to drive the Manchu wild boar skin out of the Central Plains!
Yang Jing promised to give Wang Tianhao a position that he was satisfied with after he had reorganized the Hui Prefecture.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face. The other party had already taken the initiative to lead his troops to surrender and express goodwill. Moreover, he had been an official for many years and had not made any major mistakes. There was indeed no reason to kill him, so he could only keep him alive.
However, Yang Jing did not forget to warn him. He reminded Wang Tianhao that although his life was temporarily saved, if there was any unusual movement, Yang Jing would not care about his feelings.
The middle-aged man was so grateful that he wanted to kneel down and call Yang Jing his father.
Although he had made such a promise, Yang Jing was not prepared to arrange an important position for him to hold political power or military power.
This was because this person had been immersed in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty for many years and had connections with many Donglin Party members in the Ming Dynasty. He knew the rotten way of being an official. If he was given an important position without polishing, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not become a black sheep one day.
After all, he had surrendered to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing could not guarantee that if he was given military power, he would not abandon the city in the future and seek refuge with someone stronger.
Yang Jing was well versed in this. He could not have the heart to harm others, but he could not be without the heart to guard against others.
Two days after Yang Jing entered the Xin 'an Guard Yamen of the Hui Prefecture, he received a letter of appointment and dozens of boxes of gold and silver gifts.
It was sent by the military and political center of South Zhili.
He briefly glanced at the letter of appointment and then tore it up in front of Ying Tian and the other red-robed officials with a smile.
"Go back and tell them that I've accepted the gold and silver. In the future, I'll also take the Yingtian Prefecture.”
"Let them clean up Ying Tian Imperial Palace and wait for me.”
He said that he would be appointed as the new commander of the Hui Prefecture and be in charge of all the affairs of the Hui Prefecture. He would command 200,000 soldiers and be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. What a joke!
Yang Jing looked at the dozens of boxes of gold and silver neatly placed on the ground and could not help but laugh.
I didn't expect the officials of the Ming Dynasty to be so rotten. Didn't they say that they wouldn't cede land or pay compensation?
The integrity of the predecessors had actually caused these Donglin Party members to be completely defeated!
The officials of the Great Ming Empire had truly reached a hopeless situation!
But then again, there was no doubt that the Donglin Party was rich.
In order to appease Yang Jing, he had offered one million gold and five million silver.
Yang Jing had ransacked the homes of the entire Hui Prefecture, but he had only managed to get two million gold and five million silver.
In comparison, the Donglin Party members of the Yingtian Prefecture were indeed generous.
This gave Yang Jing great expectations for conquering the entire South Zhili.
When the officials of Nan Zhi Li decided not to send troops to support Wang Tianhao, they had already made up their minds to recruit Yang Jing after he took down the Hui Prefecture.
Although they were not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yang Jing's hands, at this critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, it was better to avoid trouble.
Rather than sending troops to support and cause both sides to suffer, it was better to abandon the chariot and protect the commander to preserve the military strength in their hands.
As long as they had military strength, even if Nan Zhi Li broke away from the court, they would still have the ability to protect themselves.
However, if the two armies fought in the south, it would definitely give the warlords in the north an opportunity to take advantage of.
If they could spend money to appease him, then they should not make a big deal out of it.
If Shangdatian heard this and the news of the rebellion spread to the capital, the court would blame them, and they would be in a difficult position.
Moreover, since ancient times, people who rebelled were either for money or power.
The reason why Li Zicheng in the north kept attacking cities and seizing territory was because he had not reached an agreement with Great Ming on the compensation terms.
Whatever Yang Jing wanted now, he could satisfy him.
As long as he could promise not to attack the north, he would give him whatever he wanted.
However, they had misjudged Yang Jing's intentions and underestimated his appetite.
Yang Jing was never someone who would covet small profits and give up watermelons to keep sesame seeds.
Two days later, the official who had been ordered to deliver the gold and silver treasures to Yang Jing returned to Yingtian Prefecture with a dejected face.
The officials of the Ying Tian Prefecture could no longer sit still.
