"All the priests, the elderly, and the literate in the clan were all killed, but only the women and the children under the wheel were sent to the families of meritorious soldiers as slaves -- not that there were few people in the fields, and there was a lack of ploughing cattle, and there were many soldiers who had hundreds of acres of land but could not cultivate much, so they were left to the house slaves. ”

"The mountain tribes who did not come to attack should also obey the orders, send men as soldiers, and move them to the plains, and let their fathers and brothers die in battle, at least within a generation, this is the national policy!" Wang Hongyi said, he said that it was the national policy of the United States.

Standing on a boulder, the founding father of the United States, Washington, instructed that if Indians appeared near white settlements, the entire country would be flooded and even destroyed...... Do not listen to any advice for peace until the Indian Reservation has been effectively destroyed"

Jefferson instructed: In war, the Indians will exterminate some of us, but we will exterminate them all...... The Americans must pursue the extermination of the Indians or drive them where we do not go!

Lincoln ordered the hanging of a large number of Indian clergy and political leaders.

Roosevelt said, "A dead Indian is a good Indian!"

The extinction of the Indians fundamentally solved the problem of ethnic minorities, and there were 25 million Indians in the United States, but by the end of the 19th century there were only 240,000 left, and they were on the verge of extinction.

"Whether it is killed, enslaved, or killed in battle, it is the responsibility of the lonely to bear the mandate of heaven, and within a generation, the mountain tribe will be eliminated and merged into the Han nationality. Wang Hongyi finally summed it up and said: "Only then can we live up to the expectations of the people!"

After finishing speaking, there was silence in the side hall, and Zhang Yuzhi first bowed to the ground and said loudly: "The lord is wise, at this time, whether it is appeasement, morality, or defeat, it is not fundamental, let alone a good policy. ”

"If the mountain tribe is a Han people, but it doesn't matter, now the mountains are powerful, and there is a faint potential for unity, if they are not destroyed in one fell swoop, it is that the henchmen are not at peace, it is difficult to go far, and they will be destroyed in one fell swoop when they are not truly united, and they are not out of the king of the mountains!"

"What the lord said is very reasonable, among the 300,000 mountain tribes, the real backbone is only 50,000, as long as these 50,000 men can be wiped out in one fell swoop, or demoted to slaves, or sent to soldiers, they can make Xiyi Prefecture as stable as a mountain, the lord has this great ambition, and the minister dares not to work hard to serve, and then die!"

When Wang Hongyi heard this, he sighed and said: "You know my heart, at this time, there is no reason to work for several years and pay millions of dollars, there is no need to discuss this matter, I have made a decision." ”

Religious and political leaders must be killed, not a single one, not even doctors, who often have religious significance and serve as priests.

This generation of mountain men had to be killed before they could quickly integrate into the Han Chinese.

After a pause, he said: "Lone Fei is only domineering, this woman and child are scattered in the Han Hu Sea, and as long as they are a few years, they can only speak Chinese, so the next generation can be promoted to tenants, and the third generation can be liberated into commoners...... This is the grace of solitude. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't think about it!" Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi glanced at everyone, looked at the outside of the hall, and said with a smile: "If you do this alone, you know that you will hurt your virtue and prestige, but for the sake of the society and the people, you must still do this, these responsibilities are naturally borne by the orphan and the community, you don't have to be afraid." ”

The crowd listened to the jokes, and their backs were like thorns, but they could neither talk about shame nor shame.

The only fortunate thing is that after fifty years of killing and killing, no one has seen too much for a hundred miles, but I don't think it's too terrible, but seeing Wang Hongyi admitting responsibility, no one dares to sit in place, so they all knelt down and bowed their heads to apologize.

"You don't have to kneel, get up!" Wang Hongyi said.

At this time, Ding Huchen had already thought about it, and said calmly: "The minister has been serving the marshal for more than ten years, and he knows that the marshal is interested in this society, and the lord is the lord of the Ming, and the minister assists the lord, and he is happy in his heart." ”

"However, the minister is a general, the lord can't do this, please let the lord go, as long as the lord gives me 20,000 troops, the minister will be sure to follow the lord's method within a year to pacify this Xiyizhou!"

Wang Hongyi looked at Ding Huchen, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Very good, willing to share worries for the orphans, you are a veteran of your father, how can I not be at ease?"

After thinking about it carefully, he said slowly: "You have this heart, how can you be lonely? Although you are a soldier, you can also lead the soldiers!"

"Specifically, I still have to think about it-" Wang Hongyi paused for a moment, and said with a sigh: "Benevolence and domineering, in fact, there is only a difference between one thought, there is Tao to be virtuous, but the Tao needs time to establish, sometimes it is not good to be domineering, hey, you all step down, there are still two months in the spring, and there is time to figure it out." ”

"Yes, the ministers are retired. ”

Everyone withdrew, Wang Hongyi looked at the bell and stood up, ready to go back inside.

At this moment, the rain stopped, and at this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, from far and near.

For a moment, the joy of a mother-in-law, although it was not loud, but at this moment of silence, it bluffed: "Master Hou, great joy, great joy!"

Wang Hongyi was startled by this voice, looked up, and saw a mother-in-law come up and kowtow, so he couldn't help asking: "What kind of rules are you doing?

"Master Hou, Mrs. Zhao checked just now and is pregnant with a happy pulse. ”

When Wang Hongyi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "What, it's very good, only then can there be a decision, there will be happy events, it seems that God will help me!"

Almost at the same time, in the afternoon, a mother-in-law also arrived.

"Madam, there is a big matter!"

Song Xinyou, who was embroidering in the main house, was startled by this voice, and the embroidery needle in his hand pricked his finger belly, and a blood bead rolled out, which happened to dye the edge of most of the embroidery that had been completed.

Song Xinyou lowered his head and couldn't help sighing when he looked at the embroidery that passed the time into a remnant.

"You guys be quiet, why are you so flustered? There are no rules, no up or down, this will disturb Madame, do you know?"

Aunt Lan glanced at Madame and said angrily to the mother-in-law who rushed in to deliver the message.

These people were married, they were Song Xinyou's henchmen, and they were unusual, but they were scolded by Aunt Lan at this time, so they had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, but they were not afraid.

"Tell me, what's going on? So much screaming, if it's for some small thing, it's so flustered, and let others see the jokes in our yard. Song Xinyou had put aside the objects in her hand at this time, and asked them helplessly. I am afraid it will not be a trivial matter to make them so excited.

"Hmph, if you can't make a point, just because you disturbed Madame, you will wait to be punished!

The mother-in-law who was the leader was familiar with Mrs. and Aunt Lan, and at this time she ignored Aunt Lan's scare, and only lowered her voice: "Madam, this time is really a big deal! ”

"Oh, what's going on? Hearing that it was about pregnancy, Song Xinyou became serious and signaled to guard the outside to prevent idle people from entering, and she made a gesture of listening.

"Madam, that's the case, we have found out, and the medical officer does not hide that the second lady is indeed pregnant, and it has been two months. ”

"Is this serious?" Song Xinyou was stunned when she heard this, a contemplative expression appeared on her face, but she didn't show her voice.

Since even these mothers-in-law know something, I'm afraid it's a fact.

Is this true?

Wang Hongyi called the Marquis of Shu, and the status of this family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

What impact will this have on one's own status?

However, Wang Hongyi's attitude is very clear, this Zhao Wan is known as a flat wife, but she is also a wife, she still knows this matter, Song Xinyou pondered here, and the mother-in-law and maid listened to it, but they all looked at each other.

The status of the lady rises, and naturally they also rise, and if the status of the lady is shaken, they will not benefit in the slightest.

"Don't talk about this matter first, although you heard it before, the truth and falsity are not yet known, and the disaster comes from your mouth, so don't talk about it again. Although thinking about it in his heart, Song Xinyou said calmly, curbing this discussion in time.

"We know this, and we will never talk nonsense!" said the maid and the mother-in-law assured.

In fact, when they went out to say, the news had already spread outside.

Soon, an old lady sent someone over, saying that she had something to say to Song Xinyou and asked her to go to the courtyard over there.

Ping said that in his courtyard, Song Xinyou dressed very casually.

Hearing that the mother-in-law called her over, she hurriedly asked the surrounding servants to comb her hands and feet with a simple hairstyle, get dressed, and hurriedly went to the old lady's courtyard with two maids.

The old lady is quiet, and the layout in the courtyard is elegant and plain, revealing a sense of grace.

Ping said, Song Xinyou got up early and arrived late, he was very familiar with this place, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere was very different.

A wave of joy spreads here.

Song Xinyou entered the main room and saw that the old lady was sitting on a soft seat surrounded by maids, smiling very kindly, and Zhao Wan had already arrived and was waiting to sit.

As soon as she saw this situation, Song Xinyou knew that this pregnancy was probably true, and at this time, the smile on the corner of her lips warmed up a little.

"Mother-in-law. Song Xinyou didn't know, and said first.

"It's the daughter-in-law who is here, come, you guys quickly show the daughter-in-law, I have something to say to the two daughters-in-law." ”

As soon as the old lady commanded, the surroundings moved spontaneously, and in a moment Song Xinyou had already sat down beside the old lady.

"Mother-in-law, you are so serious, what does it matter to your husband?" Seeing this, Song Xinyou said with a smile in front of the old lady.

"What you said is right, what I want to say is related to Yi'er, of course, it is related to Wan'er, just now the medical officer told me, saying that Wan'er is pregnant, and it has been two months, yes, my Wang family is going to branch out again, this is a great thing. "For the old lady, no matter who is pregnant, she is the descendant of the Wang family, so she is naturally very happy.

"I see, my daughter-in-law hasn't heard about this...... Sister, congratulations!" Song Xinyou said with a hint of a smile.

"Hehe, I called you over today to tell you that since Wan'er is pregnant, there are some things she cares about, you don't have to worry about it, you are in charge, and you are afraid that it will be hard for a while. ”

"Please rest assured, mother-in-law, I will handle this matter properly. Hearing this from her mother-in-law, Song Xin hurriedly responded, paused, and said: "My husband has great ambitions and hopes for the six counties, as a woman, I will take care of the inner courtyard, so that my husband has no worries, and please rest assured." ”
