Chapter 1091: Blood - Blood debts must be paid with blood
"What! Unexpectedly, it was ......" Yun Xi stood up, his face became very hideous for a moment, and said.
The moment he heard Xu Huizu's report, Yun Xi thought of the Chinese who had been repeatedly invaded and killed since modern times, the Han killed when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the Chinese who were killed by the monkeys of the East Indies. His heart was entangled with great anger.
Yun Xi stood like this for a while, and suddenly his face turned red and he coughed loudly. The eunuch Wang Gong hurriedly walked over and gently beat him on the back, and it took a while to recover.
Yun Xi sat down in his chair, his expression calmed down, and asked, "How many people are still alive?" ”
"Your Majesty, there are three hundred and seventy-two old people, twelve thousand one hundred and sixty-six adult men, seven hundred and seventy-six children, and one thousand two hundred and twenty-five young women, making a total of 14,539 people alive."
"In addition, the Ming soldiers who were captured by the Western Prisoners were all killed by the Western Prisoners because they refused to surrender, and many of their heads were separated from their bodies, and they have not yet been able to piece together a complete corpse." Xu Huizu said.
"What a bunch of brutes!" Yun Xi scolded and said: "Count all the surviving people according to the city where they were before, and wait for Shang Bing to lead the soldiers of the Yiwu Guards to come, let him resettle these people, and make sure that everyone has enough to eat, clothes to wear, and a house that does not leak the wind to live in!" ”
"If there are orphans and old people who have no one to rely on, they will be brought back to the capital by me to raise; If the father or husband of a living woman is dead, let them marry as soon as possible. If someone is seriously injured or becomes stupid, no one wants to marry, I will bring them back to the capital and hand them over to Fujietang to raise. ”
"Your Majesty, these women are, and the people here also know about it, how can they marry again? It is also very inappropriate to bring it back to the capital. In Yichen's opinion, it is better to order all of them to be nuns, and it is better to ......," Wu Jie said.
Wu Jie came to ask Yun Xi for instructions after dawn, and met Xu Huizu and Song Sheng in front of the tent, so they entered the tent together.
Before he finished speaking, Yun Xi angrily picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at him, smashing it on his head! Wu Jie was not wearing a helmet when he entered the account, and his head immediately broke and bled out.
"Are you talking about human words?" Yun Xi opened his red eyes and said, "You mean that these people have embarrassed Da Ming!" ”
"In my opinion, the real shame is not these women, but my sons and daughters! If a woman loses her temperament, she deserves to be scolded, but there is a situation where the woman should not be aggrieved, but should be ashamed of the man, which is to be forcibly insulted by others! Women are weak and need the protection of men, and because men fail to protect them, they are so insulted, why are these women ashamed? ”
"I brought them back to the capital to reverse this distorted concept! It also makes men across the country see that the destruction of the country is the death of the family! ”
"Please forgive your majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong! Please forgive your majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong! Although his head was bleeding, Wu Jie still kept kowtowing and said.
Yun Xi glanced at him, ignored him and let him continue to kowtow, and at the same time said to Xu Huizu: "Spread my will, withdraw Tie Cheng, and execute all the prisoners in the captive camp!" The head is cut off and built into a Kyoto view! Throw the carcass into the hogweed, and if the pig doesn't eat it, let the dog eat it! ”
"Throw Timur's body out of the coffin, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"
Yun Xi didn't care about his previous plan at all. Those plans are far less important than avenging the soldiers who died in battle, the people who were killed by the Xilu, and the people who were abused by the Xiju. Even if Buddhism could not be widely spread in the Western Regions, he would kill all the captives and avenge them!
Why did Shu hear this news while thinking of the Chinese who had been repeatedly invaded and killed since modern times, the Han killed by the Manchus when they entered the customs, and the Chinese killed by the monkeys of the East Indies, not the Han killed by the Mongols? Because the revenge of the Han people killed by the Mongols has been avenged, and it has been avenged by the Red Turban Army led by Han Shantong and Liu Futong. ’
Han Shantong and Liu Futong, including Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang, Ming Yuzhen, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others, led the rebel army to kill many Mongols and Semu people who fought for the tiger, and even those who were not killed were discriminated against for more than 30 years in the subsequent Hongwu period, and this revenge has been avenged. ’
But the Chinese who have been repeatedly invaded and killed in modern times, the Han killed by the Manchu Qing when they entered the customs, and the Chinese who were killed by the monkeys of the East Indies, these revenges have never been avenged! Except for a very few executioners whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese who received the punishment they deserved, most of them hid the blood of their hands with white gloves, and went back with the looted things with a smile on their faces. They are also living a prosperous life with peace of mind. ’
Such a thing must not happen under my hands! The two armies are fighting for their own masters, and it is natural to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but I must not allow such torture and killing of prisoners, wanton insults, abuse, and torture of the people of the Ming Dynasty! ’
Yun Xi thought through gritted teeth. He then stood up, picked up a pen and wrote a line on fine rice paper: "The blood debt must be paid with blood", and then said to Xu Huizu: "You hang this on the gate of the prisoner camp, and have the soldiers read aloud in Mongolian why I killed them, and then wait a day to shoot them to death." Yun Xi's face was hideous: "I want them to suffer for a day and wait for death before killing!" ”
"Your Majesty, it is not unacceptable to kill all the captives, but such torture is against the way of a king!" Seeing that Yun Xi's eyes looking at him became less friendly, Xu Huizu hurriedly continued: "It's better to issue this order in the name of the minister." ”
"Not necessarily!" Yun Xi said in a very peculiar tone: "Aren't the officials going to say that I am a tyrant? Whoever dares to say that I am a tyrant, I will not embarrass him, just come to King Qin's fiefdom and be an official for a year. Yun Xi's voice was not high when he said this, but Xu Huizu couldn't help but shudder.
He pondered his words for a moment, and once again persuaded Yun Xi not to issue this order in the name of the emperor. But Yun Xi insisted on not allowing it.
Xu Huizu was persuading hard, and suddenly the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the guards guarding the door were just about to come forward to ask, but they were pushed open.
The man was dressed in ornate armor, but the armor was covered in mud. He suddenly knelt in front of Yun Xi and said with a crying voice: "Brother Huang! ”
"Is it Shang Bing? Hurry up, hurry up. Wang Gong, prepare a chair for King Qin. Yun Xi hurriedly bent down and said to him.
Wang Gong immediately ran over with a chair, but Shang Bing didn't mean to get up at all, took Yun Xi's hand and said, "Brother Huang, are the people of our Qin Domain really only so little?" ”
"You've heard? Indeed it is. Shang Bing, don't be too sad, I will make up for the lack of population. Yun Xi said softly. At this point, he could lose his temper with anyone, except Shang Bing. If you talk about grief, except for those who have relatives who died directly at the hands of Xilu, it belongs to Shang Bing.
When Shang Bing heard Yun Xi's words, he knew that the words he heard on the way were true, and he immediately cried loudly: "My people! ”
He was very sad. He had on many occasions rejoiced that the people who had been sent at last were more than had been agreed, that he had quarreled with the magistrates because they had been less than had been agreed, and that he had eaten two more mouthfuls of food because he had heard that many more children had been born.
But none of that is available today. After this battle, the people in his hands were less than half of the previous ones, and the accumulation of years was lost, how could he not be sad?
Yoon-hee helped him to the bed, gently stroking his back like a brother coaxing his younger brother, while softly comforting him. After a while, Shang Bing came to his senses.
"What is the Imperial Brother going to do with these Western captives! If you want to indulge them, my brother will never agree! After relieving, Shang Bing wiped his face with a hand towel and said to Yun Xi with red eyes.
"Don't worry, my brother will never indulge them." Yun Xi pointed to his own red eyes: "This is also the one that started to redden this morning." ”
He then told Shang Bing about his intentions, and finally asked, "What do you think?" If you don't think it's enough, you can mention it again. ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the minister advises His Majesty not to inscribe the words 'blood debt must be repaid with blood', and not to issue that order in the name of His Majesty. This order may be given by His Highness if he wishes. Xu Huizu came up and said.
"Shang Bing, if you want to give this order, my brother will give it to you!" Yun Xi said.
"This order is naturally willing to be issued by the younger brother, and the treatment of them is strict enough, but don't you think there is anything missing, imperial brother?" Shang Bing said.
"What's missing?" Yun Xi was puzzled. He thought to himself that this was already a very comprehensive punishment, what else could he lack?
"Revenge! The revenge of the people who were mutilated by the Western captives! ”
Shang Bing said a little crazy: "The saying 'blood debt must be repaid with blood' is very good, let those who have relatives killed by Xilu and who have been tortured and insulted by Xilu come to take revenge on Xilu in person!" ”
"Good!" Yun Xi shouted: "That's it!" He then turned his head to Xu Huizu and said, "You can arrange this matter, and you must let the surviving people slash the enemy!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Huizu was very embarrassed in his heart: this matter is not easy to arrange. But he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only bow down and say yes.
After that, Yun Xi gave a few more orders to let them retreat. Xu Huizu hurriedly said another thing he had come to do: "Your Majesty, the Acropolis has not yet been captured, can you let the soldiers attack the Acropolis now?" ”
"Attack the Acropolis now! If the captives in the city want to surrender, they may as well agree first, and then be executed; If you don't want to surrender, you don't have to keep prisoners. ”
"Then the minister will go down and make arrangements." Xu Huizu bowed down and said.
"Brother Huang, let me take the lead in attacking the city!" Shang Bing shouted.
"No!" Before Yun Xi could speak, Xu Huizu interjected again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is not suitable to lead troops to attack the city now. ”
"Huizu is right, you are not suitable to lead troops to attack the city now." Yun Xi said: "You go to rest first, and then you will be busy!" ”
"Yes." Shang Bing could only agree.
