Chapter 597: Murderous Li Zhen

The Northern Tianzhu Rebellion, the small countries that originally belonged to the Jieri Dynasty were not suppressed, and the usurpation of Alonashun made the various kingdoms have a reason to send troops, so for a time the Northern Tianzhu was in full swing.

In the face of this situation, if Li Zhen and Li Yun had enough strength, they would have taken advantage of the chaos to enter the North Tianzhu, but unfortunately they hadn't even finished the South Tianzhu, and there was still a Middle Tianzhu in the middle, and their hands couldn't reach out at all, and in the end, Li Yu reminded them that Li Zhen and Li Yun would pass on the new Brahmin sect first, and after laying a good spiritual foundation, it would be much easier to enter the North Tianzhu in the future.

However, it is not so easy to preach in Northern Tianzhu, after all, their Neo-Brahmanism has touched the interests of the Brahmins and Kshatriya nobles, so the Neo-Brahmanical mission in the local area is naturally resisted by the Northern Tianzhu Brahmins and Kshatriya nobles.

At the beginning, the resistance of the Northern Tianzhu Brahmin was relatively soft, only driving out the new Brahmin missionaries sent there by Li Zhen and Li Yun out of their own territories, but with the spread of the new Brahmin teachings, this combination and Buddhism, Islam, Catholicism, and even the New Brahmanism of the Central Plains Taoist priests, showed incomparable vitality, and soon took root in Northern Tianzhu and developed a large number of believers.

Faced with this situation, the Brahmin nobles of Northern Tianzhu began to use some drastic measures, such as forbidding the people in the territory to believe in the new Brahmins, and even arresting and burning the new Brahmin missionaries when they saw them. This practice greatly affected the spread of Neo-Brahmanism.

Faced with this situation, Li Zhen and Li Yun naturally won't swallow their anger, so it won't be long after. A fleet on the island of Ceylon escorted a 3,000-man steppe cavalry and 5,000 native soldiers north to North Tianzhu. Led by Li Zhen himself, they landed at the mouth of a river called the Hooghly River. and quickly took possession of a small city called Cali at the mouth of the river.

The city of Cali is located on the east bank of the Hooghly River, not far from the later Calcutta, but now the location of Calcutta is only a few small villages, and when Li Zhen commanded the army, he easily destroyed several small villages.

The small city of Cali naturally could not satisfy Li Zhen's desire to conquer, so as soon as he knocked down Cali City, his eyes fell on the northwest direction of Cali City. A city called Beka, this Bey is much larger than Cali, with more than 50,000 permanent residents, and it is also the capital of the Bekaa Kingdom, which rules this area.

The Bekaa Kingdom is the easternmost kingdom of the original Ring Sun Dynasty, the strength of the kingdom is above average, and the domestic Brahmin power is extremely powerful, and the exclusion of the new Brahmanism is also the most serious, according to statistics. Six Neo-Brahmin missionaries have already been burned to death in the Bekaa Kingdom, and thousands more have been unjustly treated by Neo-Brahmanical followers.

It was precisely because of this situation that Li Zhen showed no mercy when attacking Beicheng. The roar of the muskets unloaded from the ship soon opened a large gap in the rammed earth walls of the city, and the natives swarmed up. A road was quickly cleared, which was finally rushed in by cavalry. Resistance within Bay City was quickly dismantled.

However, Li Zhen's methods were very bloody, and he drove all the Brahmin and Kshatriya noble envoys of the Bekaa Kingdom to the square in front of the palace. Then a fire was burned, just like they had done with the New Brahmin missionaries. There were also civilians and officials involved in the persecution of the Neo-Brahmans who did not escape being burned to death.

And this is just the beginning, after the Bekaa Kingdom was occupied by Li Zhen, several other allies of the Bekaa Kingdom around reacted quickly, and they gathered an army of 50,000 people, including 10,000 elephant soldiers, and the rest were mostly cavalry and infantry. However, as soon as this combined army entered the territory of the Bekaa Kingdom, it was led to a Jedi by Li Zhen, and then fired at the opponent's elephant army formation with artillery and rockets.

Although there are not many elephants killed directly by artillery, but these Tianzhu elephant soldiers are the first time to encounter this kind of thunderbolt weapon, all of them were frightened, long hissing in the military formation, even the elephant slaves can not control, the result is not Li Zhen's army at all, just by the elephant trampled to death and wounded more than 10,000 soldiers, the remaining more than 30,000 people are also demoralized, surrendered to Li Zhen on the spot.

But then Li Zhen did something that made him famous in Beitianzhu, that is, he asked the more than 30,000 uninjured soldiers to dig a pit overnight, and deceived them in order to bury the soldiers who died in battle, but after digging the pit, Li Zhen drove all these injured or uninjured soldiers into the pit in one go, and directly killed all of them.

Although they were resisted by these soldiers during the period, how could they be compared with the heavily armed soldiers, so on the land of Tianzhu, a super large mass grave with 50,000 people buried appeared, in addition to the nearly 10,000 soldiers who died in the battle, more than 40,000 other wounded people were all buried alive here.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that when Li Zhen buried these soldiers alive, he did not keep them secret, but also publicly publicized them to the entire Northern Tianzhu, and also declared that he was the incarnation of the God of Destruction in the world, and it was his mission to eliminate these mortals who were disrespectful to God, and these people were only the first batch, and in the future, all those who did not sincerely believe in the new Brahmanism would be the object of his purge, and the light of God would always shine on the earth!

Li Zhen's cruel behavior is indeed very consistent with his identity as the god of destruction, plus all 50,000 people were killed, and Li Zhen's losses were extremely small, this strong contrast is almost like a miracle. Therefore, this matter soon spread throughout Tianzhu through the mouths of the new Brahmin missionaries, and for a time the new Brahmins became very popular, and not only the lower Vaishyas and Dhadras vied for the New Brahmins, but even some of the weaker Brahmins and Kshatriya nobles began to come into contact with the New Brahmins.

Although Li Zhenkeng's killing of the soldiers cleared the way for the new Brahmin to preach, and also completely publicized his and Li Yun's fame, he was complained by Li Yun afterwards, thinking that Li Zhen should not have made such a hasty decision. After all, in Li Yun's view, the fact that the pit killed and surrendered pawns seemed a bit brutal, although it could gain temporary prestige, but it was not conducive to long-term rule in the future. In addition, they are now in need of strong labor, and these pawns are excellent candidates, but unfortunately they were all killed by Li Zhen at once, which is no different from a loser.

It was Li Yun's dissatisfaction that caused him and Li Zhen to quarrel afterwards, and Li Yun wrote this matter to Li Yun in a letter and asked him to help comment on it, but after reading Li Yun's letter, Li Yun thought about it alone for a long time, and finally sighed, but regretted it in his heart.

In fact, Li Zhenkeng's killing of the pawns, in addition to achieving the purpose of deterring Tianzhu, there is another layer of unavoidable reasons, you can think about it, at that time, Li Zhen's troops in his hands were less than 10,000, and he barely occupied the Bekaa Kingdom, but in defeating the coalition forces, there were 40,000 more prisoners in his hands, these prisoners not only had to eat and drink, but also needed to assign people to guard, and there was a possibility of rebellion if they were not careful.

In this case, killing them all is undoubtedly the quickest and most straightforward solution. And after killing, it can also deter the countries of Tianzhu, and at the same time beat out the new Brahmins and their own fame, laying a solid foundation for the future unification of Tianzhu.

Of course, no matter how you try to find a reason for Li Zhen, this incident also reveals a message, that is, Li Zhen is naturally murderous. As soon as Li Su arrived in Tianzhu, Li Yun complained to himself, Li Zhen had a record of slaughtering enemy troops, and even the surrendered army was not spared. Moreover, in the Kingdom of Chola at that time, Li Zhen's name as the God of Destruction was already extremely loud, and even hostile forces called him a bloodthirsty demon general.

Li Zhen is Li Zhen's brother, and Li Zhen has always liked to be close to him, so he naturally doesn't want to see his younger brother called the devil. It is precisely because of this that Li Su secretly approached Li Zhen and persuaded him to think more about it when he ordered the killing, if the other party's death has nothing to do with the overall situation, then he would not spare the other party's life.

However, after listening to Li Su's words, Li Zhen said something that made Li Su smile bitterly. Because Li Zhen told him that a few years ago, he and Li Zhen, Li Ke and Li Yun went to Taiwan for the first time, but because of Li Zhen's momentary negligence, Keelung was besieged, and Li Zhen did not blame Li Zhen afterwards, but instilled in him some naked law of the jungle, telling him that the world is very simple, whoever has the biggest fist must listen to whom, and when dealing with the enemy, he must also be ruthless and strangle all the troubles in the cradle.

After all, it was the first time he really had his own territory, and he had no experience in dealing with hostile relations, so he used these words to cheer himself up, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to remember them all in his mind, and he also regarded it as his own code of conduct.

It can be said that Li Zhen's ruthlessness towards the enemy was influenced by Li Zhen, which made him have no face to persuade Li Zhen again, fortunately, Li Zhen only treated the enemy cruelly, and treated his subjects well and treated his subjects well, so this also made Li Zhen feel a lot more at ease.

But I didn't expect Li Zhen to do such a big thing so soon, although there is still a considerable gap between killing 50,000 and Bai Qi in history, but you must know that Li Zhen is only in his early twenties now, and as he grows older, God knows if he will be able to make the feat of killing 400,000 in the future, I just hope that Li Zhen will not be called 'human slaughter' in the future!
