Chapter 761: Under the Victory Monument
Liu Bu said coldly: "Why should I believe you?"
Dai Qianyuan swears to the sky, and he said, "The villain swears to the sky that if he cannot offer the city, he will be cut into pieces."
Liu Bu said: "When you go, you are afraid that the tiger will enter the deep mountains and the dragon will return to the sea. How can you cut it into pieces!"
Dai Qianyuan said: "The villain is willing to take his parents, wife and children here. If anything goes wrong, the whole family will be left to the adults."
Liu Bu said: "In order to survive, there are many people in this world who are willing to sell their parents, wife and children."
After saying this, Dai Qianyuan has no choice but to do anything. Trust is very important. The other party does not trust him at all, so there is no way to start all this.
At this time, Yang Shun came up with an idea. He threw Zhang Youwei in front of Qianyuan. He said loudly: "Killing this person is your claim to be your name." After that, he cut off the rope that tied Dai Qianyuan with one knife.
Zhang Youwei was a famous figure, the governor of Sichuan and the deputy commander of Zhu Xieyuan's army. If he killed him, there would be no place for Dai Qianyuan to stay in the Ming Dynasty.
This is a good trick. Dai Qianyuan had nothing to hesitate about. He immediately went up and wanted to strangle Zhang Youwei to death. He wanted to use a knife to kill him, but he had no knife in his hand and was afraid of asking others for a knife. Others thought he had ulterior motives, so he wanted to strangle Zhang Youwei to death with his hands to show his loyalty.
Dai Qianyuan was greedy for life and feared death. In order to survive, he could do anything. Except for not being able to kill his parents, wife and children, anyone could kill him.
Zhang Youwei was strangled by Dai Qianyuan. He was extremely angry and scolded fiercely: "The despicable villain must not die well."
Dai Qianyuan said viciously: "It will be better to die in the future than to die immediately."
Dai Qianyuan had a ferocious face, just wanted to kill Zhang Youwei as a confession, but he was pulled away by Burigud.
Burigude said: "It is not so easy to vote for a letter of fame."
When Dai Qianyuan wanted to strangle Zhang Youwei to death, he had a ferocious face and was very cruel. However, when he met Burigude, he immediately had a happy face and a flattering smile: "Please give me advice!"
Burigude said: "Zhang Youwei tortures and kills thousands of Chinese soldiers. Even if he is cut into pieces, it will be light. What do you think should you do?"
Dai Qianyuan said: "There are some conditions for cutting into pieces, but five horses should be able to dismember them."
Burigude said with a smile: "How about you say this, what should you do?"
Dai Qianyuan knew that life and death were at the forefront, so he agreed immediately without hesitation, but he said with a smile: "General, if you want to accomplish this, you can't rely on me alone, you have to need some help."
Liu Bu said coldly: "If you like, those who are willing to serve my Chinese Empire, you can be dispatched."
Dai Qianyuan was overjoyed and kowtowed a few times. Then he said to the group of officers who were kneeling on the ground and waiting for beheading: "Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to live in the Ming Dynasty. The destiny of heaven is in China. We will not change our destiny to the wise ruler. When will we wait? We do not seek personal glory and wealth, but only seek peace in the world and health of relatives and friends."
This guy is very good at speaking now. He surrendered to the Chinese Army not for himself, but for the world and his family.
In fact, Dai Qianyuan doesn’t need to know the righteousness. These people are all waiting to behead their heads and will die if they fight for themselves. Now there is a glimmer of hope. How could they refuse? They all rush to say, "I do! I do!"
Burigude winked and ordered his subordinates to be untied and immediately let them stand beside Dai Qianyuan. Nearly 200 officers and officials at the scene were all ready to be executed.
When Dai Qianyuan surrendered on the spot, most people expressed their willingness to surrender, and transformed themselves from the imperial government to the Chinese army, which was also the official army. In order to survive, they had no pressure at all.
However, there were still more than 30 people who were unwilling to surrender to the Chinese army. They knelt on the ground and remained silent. They neither dared to blame Dai Qianyuan for surrendering like this, nor did they dare to shamelessly wave their tails to beg for mercy at the Chinese army like others.
When Zhang Youwei saw so many people surrender, he was very angry and sighed in his heart: People's hearts are not as good as ever." But when he saw that more than 30 people were kneeling on the ground and would rather die than surrender, he still felt some comfort in his heart, and he was thinking: I am not alone.
Seeing that there were so many people who refused to surrender, Dai Qianyuan was a little embarrassed. He sneered: "I'm shameless."
Dai Qianyuan had reason to be angry. He was so shameless today that he begged for mercy to the Chinese army, in fact, to make everyone live and not have to be slaves. These people were not able to understand their painstaking efforts and thought that he was a greedy person who was afraid of death. This made him very angry, so he wanted to explain the righteousness to these people and pull them into the water.
General Liu Kang persuaded him, saying, "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. Since these people are unwilling to surrender to our Chinese army, why bother to force me?"
Although Dai Qianyuan pretended to be fierce and shameless, he was actually to make more people live.
Liu Kang smiled on the surface, kind and let others be free. In fact, he wanted to kill more people. He had many friends and was also in the Qingzhou Division. He would not let such a bloody revenge if he had the opportunity to take revenge.
After Yang Kang's words, Dai Qianyuan stopped saying anything. Since they had their own positions and their own choices, they would let their own destiny. Everyone looked at Liu Bu with the eyes of asking for instructions.
Liu Bu was always by the side, watching the farce coldly. Since these people made a choice, Liu Bu stopped talking and rode his horse away from the Monument of Victory.
The huge trauma caused by the defeat of Yiling to the Chinese army, especially Zhu Xieyuan's large-scale massacre of prisoners, made them deeply angry. After Liu Bu captured the city, he did not enter the city, but immediately went to the Desheng Monument, mainly to pay homage to the murdered soldiers.
The rioters in the eyes of the enemy are the heroes of the Chinese Army. They sacrificed gloriously for the cause of the Chinese Army.
The lives of Ming soldiers are fate, isn’t the lives of Chinese soldiers? Someone must be responsible for this. Mao Shengli died on the spot. If he had not died and had such a huge defeat, he would have been ordered to be executed by Liu Bu. As a general, all his subordinates would die. How could he survive alone? What is the point of living?
Liu Bu has no reason to let them go for the Ming army officials who caused such a tragedy. If they were other contemporary officers, even Dai Qianyuan and others would not be able to save their lives. Liu Bu just had a trace of human nature in his heart and was looking for a reason to let these people live. Since they didn't know the truth, don't blame him for being rude.
If you are facing the enemy, you must be cruel and ruthless. There is no human favor to tell you. If you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
After Liu Bu left the Desheng Monument, his personal corps left. They returned to the military camp outside the city to rest for a while. Yiling had just captured it and was not 100% safe and appeased, so they would not enter.
Liu Bu left, but the generals under his command had not left yet. They had to do something to convince the army and the three armies.
Burigude said to Dai Qianyuan sinisterly: "The five horses are dismembered, this is what you said. We have never seen it yet. Let us open our eyes."
Dai Qianyuan knew that the other party would not spare him easily today. Without a letter of fame, he would not be able to survive, and the other party would not trust him. Only by killing Zhang Youwei, the governor and official, would he have no way out and the Chinese army would have such a little trust in him.
Dai Qianyuan said fiercely: "Since these people don't know each other, the villain will send them all the way. Adults, please look at the villain's loyalty."
Near the entire Desheng Monument is a huge military camp, where countless Chinese soldiers gathered here, one to pay tribute to their comrades who died in battle, and the other to execute these Ming army prisoners and avenge their soldiers who died in battle. They were filled with great anger and hatred, and this revenge must be revenged.
The remaining officials were so scared that their faces were as dark as the ground. Finally, some people could not withstand the strong pressure and wanted to come over, but were rejected by Dai Qianyuan. Dai Qianyuan said, "What have you done long ago? Do you think the Chinese army is an inn? Come when you want to come, and leave when you want to? Since you are waiting for Zhu Ming, let's bury Zhu Ming now?"
Those who defected to Dai Qianyuan were also untied the ropes. Untied the ropes were not to give them freedom, but to give them convenience for movement, so that they could find ropes and horses, and they were responsible for the execution.
This is ironic. It was the Ming army who executed the Ming army.
In full view of everyone, they killed a large number of imperial officials in broad daylight. From then on, they had no way to go. Only in this way can the Chinese army dare to trust these people, otherwise who would dare to let them go?
It is a trivial matter to let them go, but they are afraid that after they are let go, they will become enemies with the Chinese army again, which will bring endless troubles.
If you do their job, you will not be able to stand firm in the world without power. If you say you have to kill someone, you will have to kill someone.
Only by making the enemy afraid and afraid can they stand between heaven and earth. Therefore, after they defeated the enemy, they took severe punishment measures, and these people all recognized and agreed.
The Ming army was killed by the Chinese army, which also made people feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of the world. Once they are careless, defeated by the enemy and fall into the hands of the enemy, they will end up being worse than death.
The Chinese army had extremely high pensions and treatment for soldiers who died in battle and were killed in battle. This treatment was enough to make their families live an extremely good life. However, the plan for the Qingzhou Division, which was wiped out by the annihilated Qingzhou Division, has not been released for a long time. Even the senior officials of the Chinese army believed that the other party had been defeated so badly and gave them pensions. How can they convince the public in the future?
