A moment later, in another room, Jian Chen was shaking his head and reading a bunch of things in plain language, all of which could be understood by ordinary people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The soldiers in charge of the torture had already gone out, but the content of the torture made Jian Chen not very satisfied, so he used a little time to concoct it.

“…… The leader smiled and asked us to set fire to a few people at night, saying that those laborers would die if they died, as long as they could sit firmly in the position of the leader, let these people hate the people of Xiacheng, and after fighting each other and having a blood feud, they could defect to Dongyi, and the people in the city would not object. ”

A few of us objected and asked him if his ancestors didn't want it. If you want to learn the etiquette of the Dongyi people, how will you meet your ancestors in the future? What does the chief say about ancestors? Only in this way can you secure the position of leader, and if any of you feel that your ancestors are important and dare not betray them, I will send you to your ancestors now. We didn't dare to refute it, so we had to go and burn the houses of those families, and slandered that it was the people of Xiacheng who climbed in and burned it, and an old man crawled out, and was pushed into the fire by the leader's brother, and he had died on the city wall, which must have been the punishment of his ancestors......"

After reading it, Jian Chen asked the arrested people: "Is this the case?" If that were the case, it would seem that you were only deceived and deceived, and that you would not sin unto death. ”

The few who had already been beaten were in a daze, and a few who had already confessed without much punishment nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, that's it, that's right." ”

Jian Chen nodded with satisfaction: "So that's the case, you have a good memory, don't forget." ”

"This is what we have personally experienced, what we have heard and seen, how can we forget? Ji Xia, that's really it! We are all deceived! Now I've repented. ”

"Repent, then it proves that you can still be saved. I'll read it again, and you'll hear if there's anything you've forgotten......"

After several times in a row, Chen Jian looked at the injuries of the few people who were covered in bruises, the soldiers were a little heavy, and the festering burns could not survive in the summer, knowing that if they wanted to be judged, they had to hurry up, and the dead were not convincing.

The soldiers were discussing how to distribute the benefits of the fiefdom in the future, and after seeing Chen Jian come out and chatting with Chen Jian for a few words, those who went to count the fields and warehouses also returned.

"Ji Xia, in the siege battle, more than 60 people died in the city, of which 30 were relatives of the leader, and the other half were only from the city. The chief's relatives have all been arrested, and there are many corn and cloth and field slaves, and the priest is not there, so it is difficult for us to count them, but there are many of them. ”

Jian Chen tore a piece of cloth into strips, handed it over and said, "Find some cloth to tear like this, find some corn to boil some paste, and paste it crosswise to prove that we didn't take it at all." How can we say that this is also a thing of other people's cities, and we can't move around, as for the rations given to us by the leaders in the future, that's another story. ”

Then he asked in a low voice, "Is there any looting over there in Sucheng?" ”

"There are several. But our Xia Cheng's military law can't control Sucheng, and we don't dare to do it. ”

"Remember who it is, ask them to drink to stabilize them, and I'll go and talk to Su Tang and arrest them in a while, just to borrow their heads."

"Will Su Tang be unhappy?"

"No, it won't. Just don't plunder. ”

"Of course we won't, Ji Xia is not allowed to loot, if we loot, Ji Xia will definitely not reuse us in the future, and we can't divide the land slaves, compared to these, what is the looted thing?"

The soldiers giggled and said, of course they are not a model army that freezes to death without demolishing houses and starving to death without looting, to put it bluntly, the Xia Cheng army is a slave owner army, but this slave owner army is redistributed by the leader from the beginning, and the looted goods are not worth mentioning compared to the future future, so naturally no one will take risks.

After these men left, Chen Jian called the herald to blow the horn, gathered a team of more than 50 people to the center of the city, and began to build a wooden platform and gallows. No one dared to come out on the street at this time, but fortunately, because of the old leader's legacy, his son was still somewhat famous, and he found some people who had supported him to help with the work.

When Su Tang arrived, the two gallows had already been erected, and he didn't understand what they were for, so he didn't ask much about this, but called Chen Jian aside and said, "Ji Xia, why did you seal up that person's goods?" My people almost clashed with yours. It's just that my father handed over the jade axe to you, and I will listen to you too, I don't know how to distribute these things? ”

"I'm looking for you, your people are looting in the streets, and I want to ask you to borrow something."

"Where can I borrow it, what did they grab, if Ji Xia is optimistic about it, take it."

"Their heads."

Su Tang was startled, and was about to shake his head but looked at Jian Chen and said with a smile: "But there is a loan and a return, if you want to have a few heads, it is useless if you want to ask for a few heads, I will pay you back a reputation." Now that the covenant has been made, the siege of the city will be broken within ten days after this battle. Last winter, when the alliance failed, and half of the city's relatives left, will they all be killed or captured as slaves in the future? In that case, the people of the city will definitely resist desperately, and we will be cautious about our casualties. But if you don't plunder anything as small as the hairs of the autumn geese, the resistance of the city will be lighter. Several tribes sent troops together, and our two tribes did not commit any crimes in the autumn, but they went to plunder, and when they were pacified, who would the city renew? You cut off their heads to gain fame, and your father wanted the city to keep its oath as it had always been, and you did so to make your father look in high esteem to you. ”

Of course, Su Tang knew that there would be a lot of changes after this battle, and the battle of attacking and destroying the city would no longer be a long-term war that lasted for half a year or even a year, but would be more intense and faster, and he understood Chen Jian's voice, once his father was old, his reputation would be an important thing to determine whether he could be elected by everyone.

Because of this battle, his eyes were no longer limited to Asuba, but to a wider land.

His heart was hot by Chen Jian's hook, and in the end, he only hesitated a little, and wondered: "But...... But they are all soldiers who have followed me for a long time, and when I slay them, these soldiers will inevitably hate me in their hearts...... They are all relatives in the same city......"

Jian Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the choice you have to make, I just said this." That's not my Xia Cheng clansmen, I can't control it. It's just that the people in the city dare to talk to the people of Xiacheng, but they dare not talk to the people of Sucheng. You decide for yourself. ”

Su Tang hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "Since this is the city of relatives, robbing them is like robbing them in Su City, and these people really deserve to be punished." Now that the city has just been built, the people's hearts are unstable, and we need to use some bloody means to make the people of the city trust us. ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "Okay!" Well said. Then it will be up to you to tell the people of the city, and they will be convinced that they will no longer be hostile. These wooden shelves are used to execute those who have made mistakes, and at this time it is necessary to use some bloody means to make people remember. ”

Su Tang thanked him again and again, and took his guards to arrest people according to what Chen Jian said, Chen Jian looked at Su Tang's back and smiled secretly.

He made it clear before he entered the city, and he had a lot of things to give his people more benefits than looting.

However, Su Tang did not say it before entering the city, this is not a teaching, although the people in the city are convinced, but they are afraid that those soldiers will inevitably complain.

Jian Chen wants fame, Su Yue wants fame, Su Tang also wants fame, but what about the soldiers?

The problem is that these soldiers don't want fame.

Chen Jian had a large number of village slaves in the west of Xia City as a reward, and was supported by gunpowder workshops and metal smelting technology, and this time his reputation was exchanged for the shock of gunpowder, and he mastered gunpowder technology, forcing various cities to buy it, so he could give the soldiers enough rewards to help him achieve the reputation he wanted.

But how many soldiers can Su Yue reward them? If the reward is less, will this kind of interference that does not have much benefit to the soldier in the future make the soldier have enough desire to do it?

At this time, the soldier was not Qiu Ba in the future, but the countryman class in the city, the ruling class of Sucheng, and Su Yue was just the spokesperson and navigator of this class, when the interests of the class were contrary to the interests of the leader, how long could Su Yue's reputation last?

With Xia Cheng's military discipline as a comparison, Su Yue had to restrain his people, he had no choice, especially now that he didn't dare to break with Xia Cheng, and was forced by Chen Jian to build a model army, at least to do not loot in the cultural circle to interfere in the war.

But the soldiers around Chen Jian are out of production, they are only 200 people raised with Xia Cheng's technology and Caohe hegemony and thousands of public slaves, can Sucheng afford to raise such an army? (To be continued.) )
