Emperor, you just tricked and killed 800 people, doesn't it count as killing?
He Qingfeng immediately understood that the emperor had no intention of listening to him, and Zhang Ye's army would definitely kill those wealthy families in the southeast.
Just like Tonglu, all the men were killed and the women were left to be assigned to the soldiers in the southern expedition.
The wealthy people in the southeast have a large population. How many people will be killed in this way? It is obvious that they can be more liberal and only kill the principal criminals and spare the accomplices. Isn't the emperor afraid of being scolded?
He Qingfeng raised his head and looked at Zhu Youde rudely: "Your Majesty, the wealthy families in the southeast are rebelling, but the people are still the people of Daliang. For example, if the children at home are disobedient, your majesty can just teach your parents a lesson, but there is no reason to kill your own children.
ah."
"It is natural that the wealthy clan should be killed for rebellion, but if they are involved too much, everyone in the Southeast will be in danger and the people will wither. In the future, it will be very difficult for the court to govern the Southeast!"
"You are worrying too much, how can I be implicated!"
He Qingfeng said angrily: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty and Zhang Ye's vague code words, can't you hear it? Your Majesty wants to massacre the wealthy families in the southeast. Zhang Ye killed 800 people in Tonglu. This kind of behavior is outrageous. Your Majesty is
"Renjun, you must govern the world with dignity and dignity. Now you have killed eight hundred people. It may be said that it is to frighten the rebel army. But if the sword is used as an order, then what is the use of the government? It is convenient for the army to govern the place!"
Zhang Ye turned around and sneered: "Master He, according to what you said, we can let those rebels go. Have you asked the officers and soldiers of the three armies what they think?"
"It's the end of the year. Most of the officers and soldiers have registered residence in the capital. Everyone wants to go home early to celebrate the New Year. Why not if the chaos can be quelled quickly? If the government is useful, there will be no chaos in the southeast today."
Zhu Youde wanted to stop him, because it was boring for his own people to argue, but when he saw that the young man was full of firepower, he immediately stopped talking.
This is a conflict between military representatives and civilian officials. Let’s take a look and talk about it.
He Qingfeng said: "Didn't I ever say that I would let the rebels go and only kill the culprits, and that the accomplices should be given a lighter sentence?"
Zhang Yedao: "Master He, bad people are bad people, good people are good people, those who commit crimes are criminals, and those who rebel are rebels. There is no difference between the culprit and the accomplice. Since they dare to rebel, they all deserve to die!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of rebels in the southeast. Are you going to kill them all?"
"Kill them all, kill them all, just regenerate them!" Zhang Ye said calmly: "Sir, there is no future in compromise. If those people rebelled, do you think any of them would have blood on their hands? A scholar's opinion is wrong for the country.
Jun!"
This was unbearable. Zhou Chaozong said quickly: "General Zhang, do you know that when the rebels rebel, there is a family behind each person. There are hundreds of thousands of rebels, and millions of people in the southeast are implicated behind them. You can kill millions."
Population?”
He is also a scholar.
Zhou Chaozong said: "It is easy for you to kill people, but when we govern the place, we have to worry about being assassinated by the people. Force can only conquer the place, but it cannot make the people willing. What I, the Liang court, want is a willing and upright person!"
"If not, what will the history books say about Your Majesty in the future? Have you considered it?"
Zhu Youde suddenly laughed and wanted to scold his mother. Zhou Chaozong is really interesting.
What are you doing involving yourself?
What does the history book say about me? Does it have anything to do with Zhou Chaozong? Do you need to remind him?
He is the one who compiles the history books. He has the final say on how to write them!
Civil servants have a dark heart, and they like to form gangs and play gang fight games.
Zhang Ye didn't care: "Do you know how many people died in Tonglu County and how many women from good families were ruined during the day the rebels were in Tonglu?"
"Your ideas are simply childish and naive!"
"Do you know how many families have been robbed by bandits, and their fathers and sons have died? If they do such things, they are considered accomplices in your words. According to my law, these people should also be executed, but in your words, it is easy
Song has become an accomplice and can be let off easily. Do you think that the law does not exist for me?"
He Qingfeng said: "Now we are putting down the rebellion, we don't care about the law..."
He stopped because Zhang Ye was staring at him fiercely.
"He Qingfeng, do you think we in Daliang can quell the chaos without having to enforce laws? Is this what you and other local officials think? How can the people not rebel? We and the army are guarding the king and maintaining the fairness of our laws in Daliang.
, Anyone who dares to break our laws in Daliang is an enemy of our army in Daliang."
Zhu Youde's eyes were very excited. He was a good young man with a very high level.
If you can say that the army is loyal to the law and loyal to the king, I will dare to make you the generalissimo.
Unfortunately, this is already Zhang Ye's limit.
Zhu Youde smiled and finally spoke, interrupting the two of them: "Okay, I know what you mean."
"You are all right, but this time the rebellion in the southeast is being quelled. Zhang Ye said it well. The rebellion in the southeast is essentially the provocation of the wealthy clans against our law in Daliang. Since I am personally conquering it, there is nothing to talk about when the army goes south!"
"The emperor also needs to uphold the law. As the emperor, I am responsible for guarding the laws and disciplines. If the laws and disciplines are stable, the people will naturally be at peace. Zhang Ye will be appointed as General Pingnan today and go south to conquer the main force of the rebels, sending 150,000 troops."
"Qing Zhou, Qing He, please cooperate in supplying food and grass. This matter ends here. Those who disobey the powerful clans will be destroyed. The military power of Daliang cannot be provoked!"
When Zhu Youde said it, it was the final word!
Zhang Ye and the others left.
When they got outside, He Qingfeng pulled Zhang Ye and said, "Do you know how many people will die if you go there?"
"What does it have to do with me!"
"you……"
"A certain person is a soldier. He previously served in the Inspection Department. Do you two adults know the sufferings of the people?"
"If weeds are not removed, good crops will not grow. This is common sense that all farmers know. Why don't you understand? It is better for the whole world to cry than for one family to cry?"
No nonsense, we are not from the same place, Zhang Ye will leave after saying this.
………………………………
After that, Zhang Ye led his army south to attack Zhaozhou, which was captured in three days. Lin Man led the partial army to attack Jinhua and encountered fierce resistance from the local armed forces.
Zhang Ye captured Zhaozhou and killed 30,000 enemy troops in pits. Zhaozhou's wealthy families were uprooted, with almost no survivors.
Zhang Ye was known as Living Yama in the capital. This time when he went south, his reputation as Living Yama became even louder.
Zhaozhou was captured, and Mingzhou was in sight. The rebels gathered a hundred thousand troops in Mingzhou, preparing to fight Zhang Ye to the death.
Both sides began to set up formations under Mingzhou City!
However, Zhang Ye directly ordered the artillery fire, which lasted for a whole morning. The Mingzhou rebel army immediately collapsed and hid in Mingzhou City and could not come out.
Zhao Bing wiped his sweat and walked into General Zhang Yepingnan's tent.
He is envious!
General Pingnan and Zhang Ye are already the official leading generals, while he and Lin Man are now at most deputy generals.
"how?"
Zhao Bing shook his head: "It's not very good. East Vietnam has really sent troops. Tan Ma found an East Vietnam warship on the beach. It is estimated that the number of people is about 10,000!"
With a bang, Zhang Ye's fist hit the desk!
"Dongyue really dares to come."
Originally, conquering Mingzhou was not a problem at all, but it was because Tan Ma discovered the Dongyue ship that Zhang Ye suspended his decision to attack Mingzhou.
