Yang Jun is obsessed with those who criticize morality. This can be seen from his absolute retaliation against some people who dare to attack him with extermination orders after he is in power. Yang Xiu, who was good friends with Lin Jue, was one of the victims. In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not lack these people who made a fuss about this matter, or they really felt that the extermination order was too cruel and inhumane, and damaged the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a state of etiquette, so they criticized it. Either they go to extremes and want to become famous, which is naturally to attack the Privy Counsellor who is going towards can rise to fame more quickly.

Yang Jun was actually quite angry in his heart, in fact, although his approach was simple and rude, it was because he saw the essence of the matter clearly. It's just that those who are full of benevolence and morality occupy the moral high ground and can't defend themselves. But from the standpoint of the Great Zhou court, Yang Jun has made great contributions. It's just that...... He will never be able to get the public support of others, so he is actually very lonely and depressed in his heart, obviously he is safeguarding the interests of Da Zhou, but in exchange for everyone's spurning, he is really helpless.

When the news of Lin Jue's order to shoot thousands of teenagers on the battlefield reached the capital after the Battle of Xingrenfu, a large group of ministers immediately began to attack morally. Yang Jun suddenly felt a sense of pity for Lin Jue. Although Lin Jue's actions were far from his decisiveness back then, there was another guy in the Great Zhou Dynasty who dared to challenge the bottom line of morality, which made Yang Jun naturally have a sense of protection. There is an extra partner on the way, but this partner can't be defeated by those masters. So Yang Jun took action to protect Lin Jue, so that Guo Chong would not be swayed by those remarks.

Lin Jue was not only dumbfounded when he understood all this, but he didn't expect that this matter would actually arouse Yang Jun's resonance and let him take action to protect himself. Maybe he can make an exception to become the head of the Privy Council, but Yang Jun did it on purpose. There is some deliberate anger on the part of the ministers, and they deliberately use this matter to disgust them. From this point of view, I am a blessing in disguise.

"Extermination Order...... Xia Guan had heard some rumors, but he didn't know if they were true or not. Xiaguan ...... Don't dare to say more. Lin Jue said softly.

"Hehe, that's not a rumor, it's true. Do you know why I did that? Many people simply think that I, Yang Jun, am a murderous person, and they call me 'sheep extinction' behind my back, reflecting the ferocity that I won't even leave a single sheep on the Xixia grassland, and with the intention of hoping that I will die. They know that what I am doing is not an end, but a means. The unruly and unruly members of the Western Xia Party are a problem in the northwest of our Great Zhou Dynasty. After the recovery of Western Xia, these people just refused to submit, and they caused chaos at every turn, killing countless people in our interior. How can this situation be ignored? That Li Xuanhao united all the troops to rebel, and the court ordered me to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and it took the old man to lead the army for half a year to defeat his army. Originally, I wasn't going to do that, but what happened later made me change my mind. Yang Jun looked into the distance with his hands in his hands, and fell into the memory.

Lin Jue stood behind him and didn't make a sound, looking at Yang Jun's dark and resolute side face, a strange feeling was born in his heart. Regarding this Yang Shumi, although Lin Jue has no intersection with him, he has heard a lot about Yang Jun

Most of them are negative. However, Lin Jue still admired Yang Jun a little. Although what Yang Jun did was shocking and attracted a lot of criticism, his purpose was very clear, and he dared to do it, and he grasped the core of the problem. Lin Jue had thought about this point carefully, and he had also discussed it with Yang Xiu. The result of thinking still made Lin Jue very impressed. If there are still a few people who understand in the Great Zhou, the privy envoy Yang Jun must be one of them. Although this person is a little stubborn, some greedy for power, some are complacent, no one is allowed to touch his interests, and even some are unreasonable. But this does not hinder his judgment on important matters.

"That year, after the end of the counterinsurgency war, in order to appease the people's hearts, I ordered my generals to go to the northern and southern tribes of Western Xia to pacify them. What the old man hopes is that he can turn hostility into jade silk, so that they can understand that my Da Zhou is not enslaving them, but accepting them. If they submit to my Great Zhou, they will receive the help of my Great Zhou, and they will not have to live a life of cold and hunger. There is no need to harass the inland of my Great Zhou in order to survive and rob the supplies and food. This is good for both parties. The old man thought that they had been defeated, and Li Xuanhao was also cut off by me, they would definitely think seriously about the current situation, and their minds should be sober and sober, and think about the old man's words. However, I have to admit that the old man was wrong. Some things, so ingrained that they are simply hard to change. In their minds, the reconquest of Western Xia by my Great Zhou is to conquer them and enslave them. They didn't give in to my Da Zhou's thoughts at all from the bottom of their hearts......"

Yang Jun's old voice slowly sounded in his ears, bringing Lin Jue into the scene of the year.

“…… The eight centurians I sent survived, and they went with good intentions, only to return with 800 severed heads. Among them was my nephew Yang Huan. That's the only male descendant of my Yang family, and I treat him like a son. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. If you want them to surrender, you can't do it by persuasion, and you can only change what is in their bones. From that moment on, the old man came to his senses. The old man admitted that it was a bit cruel and excessive to kill all their men, but the kindness to them was the damage to my Great Zhou. As you said, there is no distinction between men and women, old and young, on the battlefield, only whether they are enemies or not. All of them are soldiers, and those who can ride horses are warriors, so if I kill them, I kill the enemy. My people were killed by the seemingly harmless old men and young women of these tribes, and I naturally showed no mercy to them. I even took matters into my own hands, and in those two months, I led a large army to sweep through the entire Western Xia, and no less than 100 people died in my hands. Hehe, I'm not soft at all, because I see through them and understand something......"

A gust of autumn wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and Lin Jue couldn't help but shiver. However, this was not because of the cold wind, but the scene of human heads rolling and bleeding in Lin Jue's mind made him shiver unconsciously. That kind of indiscriminate slaughter is in fact a genocidal practice. Yang Jun is really a ruthless person.

"In two months, I killed hundreds of thousands of them. Except for those who are completely incapable of fighting, I will kill anyone who might take up arms and ride on horseback to fight us. A tricky problem is that there are tens of thousands of young people in the tribe. Tong has no way to deal with it,

Of course I'm not going to kill them all. But after these people are enlarged, it is a disaster. I thought about it for a few days and thought about one thing clearly. These young. If Tong stays on the grassland, he will become a wolf in the future and rebel in the future. In that case, I will bring them back to Da Zhou. The wolf cubs are kept in captivity and become loyal dogs when they grow up. They won't remember what happened, and they don't even know where they came from. ”

“…… The old man thinks that if they eat our food, wear our clothes, read our books, and write our words, they will become us. This may be the best way to resolve the matter. So, I did that. I want to let all the people in the tribes of Western Xia who can fight die, and I will also cut off their roots, so that they will never have the possibility of resisting again. This is the plan to ensure the long-term stability of the northwest of our Great Zhou. Maybe it's a bit brutal, but it's the best I can think of. As it turned out, my method worked, and now, almost twenty years later, there has not been a single rebellion in Western Xia. Those little wolf cubs have long become the people of my Great Zhou, scattered and scattered. They themselves would not have known that they were Tangut people, and even if they did, they would have no power to resist for a long time. It's a pity that few people can understand what I do. They will only shout that I am murderous, that I have corrupted morality and morality, and that I have destroyed the benevolence and morality of the Great Zhou. Hum! How can these fools understand my painstaking efforts? I can't talk to them about it, and they don't listen, and they don't understand. Actually, the old man doesn't need them to understand! ”

Yang Jun spoke his heart to the empty wilderness below the city. These words may have been suppressed in his heart for many years. Maybe he wanted to talk to someone, but he couldn't find someone to talk to. Today, he may be talking to Lin Jue, or maybe he is talking to Qiu Feng, in short, he said it happily. After saying these words, there was a kind of relief on his face.

Lin Jue stood there quietly and listened to the whole past, and the iron-blooded and contradictory past that he heard from the mouth of the person concerned felt more strongly than hearsay. Most of the things that others say are tendentious. or approve or disagree, somewhat mixed with private feelings. Only by listening to the person's account of the matter, as a listener, you may be able to gain an unbiased perspective and understand the motives of Yang Jun's actions at a deeper level.

There is one thing that Lin Jue thought of, that is, Yang Jun's purpose in doing this is to solve the problem of instability in Western Xia once and for all. It's just that the methods used are too drastic, so that they have aroused criticism from all over the world.

"Lin Jue, the old man told you so many irrelevant past events, you must have found it very boring. I don't know what's wrong? The old man had never mentioned these things before, but today he couldn't help but say it. This may be because you have also encountered the same criticism as the old man, so the old man is very emotional. Hai Dongqing smiled and turned to Lin Juedao.

Lin Jue bowed and arched his hand: "Where did Lord Yang speak, the lower officials were able to listen to Yang Shumi's account of the events of the year, and I felt very honored in my heart." It was a cruel past. ”

Yang Jun stroked his beard and nodded, "But isn't it?" Iron-blooded and brutal, you're right. Everyone thinks it's wrong, do you think the old man is doing the right thing? I'd love to hear what you think about it. ”
