Chapter 702 Indifference

The Liu family army drove into Nanjing City in a mighty manner, and what they showed was their most powerful side.

This is also Liu Bu's original intention, allowing these people to see Liu Jun's power and then dare not fight easily or jump out to fight.

Some people are hidden among the people, making them afraid and unable to find them. They don’t know who the enemy is, so it’s easy to jump out. If innocent people are killed indiscriminately, their reputation will be ruined.

Although the upper class of the Liu family army was led by nobles like Liu Bu, the core of the Liu family army and its elites were still those who represented ordinary people, such as Liu Zhongyong, Xiao Ning, Liu Kang, Mao Shunli, etc. These people were ordinary soldiers, and they became upstarts because of their military merits.

The Liu family wanted to replace Zhu Ming and rule this area, the people he needed were very important. They were not like Emperor Taizu, who overthrew the rule of foreign races and obtained the country. Such a country winner can be said to be a national hero and a figure who will shine for thousands of years.

The Liu family is relatively different, because he was an official of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, he was a slave of the Zhu family. The rebellion of the slave creator was not in line with the mainstream values ​​of contemporary times.

I believe that even if they are spread here in the Liu family, they will not recommend or praise things like this.

So they must compete for the people's hearts and opinions in other aspects.

Of course, after the rise of the Liu family, they have been very smooth and smooth. They have done very well and have not been in adversity, so they have never done anything excessive.

After crossing Zhuque Street, Liu Bu entered the palace directly, entered from Donghua Gate, entered the imperial city, and then ascended to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He just bowed next to the throne, and then returned to his Eastern Palace to hold a banquet to entertain these generals.

Today is also the day when he rewards the three armies. After several days of calculation, they have listed the list of meritorious people and rewarded people. These people will receive various rewards, some will receive luxury houses, fields and shops, and some will receive treasures, money, and beauties.

All these things are obtained from the enemy, which is also the ruthless and cruel side of war. The winner takes all the winners and the losers have nothing.

Let’s not talk about anything else, for example, the most glorious and vast Duke Xu’s Mansion in Nanjing, was once equivalent to a palace. Duke Xu’s Mansion was the Dinghai Sword Needle of Nanjing City, supreme.

However, Nanjing City was broken, Duke Xu died in battle, and Duke Xu's mansion belonged to others. The more cruel ones were all sent to slaves, either to prison or to slaves, and the women were sent to war trophy and rewarded to the officers and soldiers.

Moreover, these also extend to all the officers and soldiers who participated in the city defense. Although these officers and soldiers who participated in the defense were killed in battle, Liu Jun got a roster and settled these people. All their property was confiscated and their families were all sent to slaves.

This is the characteristic of this era, which harms the family and the innocent.

This made Liu Jun have a large number of slaves, and these would be shared with the meritorious people. It can be said that most of their officers received money, food and rewards from beauties.

Here, the cruelty of war is fully revealed. Once defeated, there is nothing, there is no way out, and there is no other way out.

Because Liu Bu and his ruling group also understand the same thing, even if this matter wins over these people, it will be useless. The hatred between them is blood feud, and both sides cannot be reconciled, and only one side falls.

That's why Liu Bu expressed the feeling of: If the heaven has feelings, the heaven will grow old, and the right path on earth is vicissitudes.

The Nanjing city of the Ming Dynasty was captured, and the wealthy and nobles who were once noble were turned into slaves and became the spoils of the new masters. For example, their number one general Liu Zhongyong obtained a Marquis' Mansion, with hundreds of slaves and countless money and food.

Liu Zhongyong also refused all these things and accepted them all. The whole palace city was filled with joy. As for the miserable screams of the losers outside the city, no one cared about them.

What no one cares even more is the remains of the soldiers who died in battle in the straw sandals. Because they died in battle against Liu Jun, they could not get the treatment of martyrs, and were even forbidden from their families to restrain themselves. They all directly dug a huge pit and buried it. This is a very inhumane practice in the contemporary era where people are concerned about being buried and pursuing burial.

Even after the death row prisoner was cut off his head, his family was allowed to take back the body. Only those who were unforgivable and extremely evil were not allowed to restrain themselves, and let them be exposed to the sun and rain, and insects and ants were gnawed. This is one of the reasons for the panic in the city.

In this matter, Qian Qianyi and Situ Yiyi had begged Liu Bu, hoping that he could open the door, but Zhou Hui just said coldly and pushed it back. He said sinisterly: "The two lords are pleading for the enemy."

These Ming army officers and soldiers who died in the battle against Liu's army were defined as their unforgivable opponents. Those who surrendered would gain their understanding. Only those who fought against Liu's army must punish them and never give up easily. This is a matter of principle.

Zhou Hui's words scared Qian Qianyi and Situ Weiyi so much that their faces were pale and sweating profusely. They didn't do anything to mention this matter again.

Zhou Hui is nicknamed Qingzhu Snake, and he is cruel and cruel. He is targeted by him, either dead or imprisoned, his wife and daughter are slaves and others are humiliated.

Qian Qianyi sighed: "Our ability is really limited. Let the dead go with the wind, right? We should seek more things for the living."

Especially after Duke Xu died in battle, most of his subordinates died in battle with him, and his bodies fell into Liu Jun's hands, but after Liu Jun obtained the corpse of this important person, he did not treat it differently.

If it were another army, it might be cut off its heads to intimidate and intimidate his subordinates and force them to surrender.

Or if you kill a person with such a noble and powerful identity, you should be buried with a grand and generous manner to show their humanity and righteousness.

But Liu Bu did not do this, but instead took him and the officers and soldiers who died in battle to the crowded pit of the straw sandals and buried them.

Duke Xu was extremely rich and lived with the country. He had many children in his family, but all of these relatives were demoted to slaves, and there was no need to restrain others. His son asked in prison to allow him to go out to restrain his father, but he was told that he had been demoted to slaves and would be sent to the harem for his actions after castration.

It is a common practice to castrate prisoners of war and turn them into eunuchs. Not to mention anything else, for example, the famous eunuch Wang Zhi did this.

Situ Yi-Yuan had a friendship with Duke Xu. He wanted to restrain him instead of Xu Zi, which was a fulfillment of their kindness. However, Liu Bu refused firmly and disagreed with Situ Yi-Yuan to restrain him. Even if Situ Yi-Yuan personally pleaded with him, knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and bled bleeding, but Liu Bu just refused to nod and instead rewarded him with ten beauties and several fields.

Situ Yi-Yu sighed helplessly, and there was no other plan in front of him, so he could only do so.

Liu Bu understood the other party's demands very well and understood their approach. In this era, it was only one thing that the dead are the greatest and the peace of mind. Even if the great sin is, as long as it dies, it will disappear. Like them, the enemy's corpses are not allowed to be restrained and let the sun and rain be exposed. However, he still did it. This is to show that the Liu family's approach has always been to treat the enemy as cold and ruthless as ice and snow.

This is also a convention that he must implement throughout the process.

After Qian Qianyi served as the ambassador for comfort, he saved many people with his pen and orders, and many people listed as rebellious by Liu Jun. As long as he dared to protect him, Liu Bu let him go.

Liu Bu was extremely unhappy with Qian Qianyi, looked down on this man, thinking that he had no backbone, but since he was appointed as the ambassador to be responsible for the aftermath of Nanjing City, he would give him enough rights and due treatment.

Only in this matter did Liu Bu never retreat or let go, which was to think that he had to set a principle, which was unchangeable.

Even among some surrendered Ming soldiers, they received rewards, which were the relatives, friends and children of their former colleagues. These may have been the same as them, but now they have become prisoners and slaves.

The Liu army was rising and replacing the Ming Dynasty, but many laws implemented by the Ming Dynasty were also common in the Liu family, which is equivalent to universal values. For example, these defeated enemies were either killed or demoted to slaves, or turned into slaves, which was a relatively kind approach.

Even Emperor Taizu was so famous back then, he could kill him, and he was demoted to a slave until he could not kill him.

Moreover, Emperor Taizu was a cruel and ruthless person. It seems that he could raise his butcher knife to his own people and kill him in a big way, not to mention the enemy.

So Qian Qianyi and Situ Weiyi and others knew that this was cruel, realistic, and ruthless, but it was realistic.

As the owner of this city, since Liu Bu made a decision, no one could disobey it, and this matter was quite taboo. Both of them were keenly aware that the strong rise of the Liu family and the Ming Dynasty were rapidly despised by them. Those who came halfway through the Liu family were the two ministers that the historians and literati despised the most. As the two ministers, they had to stand firm. If they were still nostalgic, they would probably be suspicious.

The only person Situ didn't want to join the Liu family before, but in the end he still joined the Liu family. Since he joined the Liu family, he wanted to do it well and didn't want to be a slave of the three surnames. This made him very embarrassed, but he could only do so. He couldn't help but sigh: The king, general, finally, the loess is a piece of loess, where is the green mountains not buried!"
