As cities one after another were captured by the Hetao, countless Baijing people were also forcibly dragged to Changhua by the Hetao to build the city. Since the Baijing people were ordered by Cassimbas to move into the city from the beginning, the population became larger.
The scale of the palace city is also larger than that of Mandan and Haixi.
When facing the Holy Sect of Paradise, Haotian was able to steal and exchange young children among them, but facing the aliens outside the Great Wall, Haotian would never show mercy.
"Husband, are we being too cruel?" Xian Lianchen said unbearably. In front of her, tens of thousands of people who paid homage to the capital were being escorted to Changhua, including many ignorant young children.
Haotian nodded and agreed with Xian Lianchen's words, but said to her: "Go and ask those children what they think and see what they will do in the future if we let them go today."
Xian Lianchen was puzzled, but he still walked up obediently, grabbed a young child casually, and after asking a few words, her face turned gloomy.
"What's wrong?" Haotian asked with a smile.
Xian Lianchen said bitterly: "He said that when he grows up, he will definitely kill all the people in the Celestial Dynasty."
Haotian sighed and said helplessly: "Lianchen, the conflict between the two nations cannot be resolved unless one party completely disappears or surrenders. A compassionate heart can only be towards one's own people and clansmen. Look at it.
Dongbo, for thousands of years, our Chinese dynasty has been extremely benevolent to them, but they, as soon as we weaken, they will immediately add insult to injury. For thousands of years, we have been repeating this path, and Dongbo has never been
There has been no repentance. Therefore, no matter how cruel the reality is, we must do it because someone must do it."
"Then can we completely eradicate the three Northeastern countries?" Xian Lianchen asked.
"No." Haotian said firmly.
Haotian's answer greatly exceeded the expectations of Xin Jiao and others. Several women, including Fu Ruoshui, looked at Haotian with interest. If anyone in the Chinese Dynasty could solve the border troubles in the north and eradicate the alien races outside the Great Wall,
Then it could only be the Haotian in front of me.
Although the empire under the rule of Haotian was far from reaching the most glorious period in China's history economically and culturally, its military strength was definitely comparable to, or even worse than, that of the reigning dynasty and the Han and Tang Dynasties.
And. If he can't eradicate the aliens outside the Great Wall, then who can eradicate them?
"The three Northeastern countries are too vast, and this is equivalent to the Sixteenth State of Youyun. However, there is not much land suitable for farming, so it is difficult for our people to survive by farming here. In addition, the bitter cold outside the Great Wall and the harsh environment
, so even during the Han and Tang Empires, they were able to rule here only by relying on force. When the national power of this dynasty declined, their control over this place gradually weakened, and then they retreated to the Great Wall. This place is too big.
, no matter how many troops we have, it is impossible to eradicate them all at once."
"What's going to happen?" Qiu Mu asked curiously.
Haotian smiled bitterly and said: "The war has already reached this point. What else is there to say? Life and death, it's as simple as that. Why did the three Northeastern countries go south to destroy our country? It's because they understood that once we became strong, they would never let go.
Pass them. This time, try to eradicate all the original settlements and local governments of the people of the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast as much as possible, and then deploy several powerful cavalry here to eliminate them in ten, even twenty or thirty years.
Completely eradicate them. If they are not of my race, their minds will be different, so they cannot be left alone."
Xue Qingcheng said with a smile: "Husband, didn't you intentionally hit me on the face?" She knew that Haotian had no ill intentions, but she was the patriarch and saint of the Scarlet Clan after all, so she had to reveal her identity.
"This is different. Although the Scarlet Clan has a different sect from ours, due to thousands of years of influence, the Scarlet Clan has almost integrated into our people of the Celestial Dynasty, apart from your nationality and religious beliefs, and can be considered the same race. Just like
The Qiang people are also an inseparable part of our Chinese nation. Both sides belong to the same civilization heritage, so they feel even closer." Haotian shook his head.
Xuexueqingcheng does not want to continue on this issue because Fu Ruoshui is still on the side. The Bloody Plateau has been the territory of the Shenzhou Dynasty since the beginning of the Junlin Tianxia Dynasty, and Goryeo is only a vassal state, and the status between the two is different. Haotian's words
Although the speaker does not mean it, the listener inevitably does.
"Husband, how are you going to govern the Northeast Plains?" Xue Qingcheng asked.
Speaking of this issue, Haotian has also been thinking about it recently and came up with an idea: "To be honest, I didn't want to kill all the three Northeastern countries at the beginning. At least those who slipped through the net will be left to them. After all, this is too much.
It was exhausting my energy. My idea at that time was to destroy the three Northeastern countries, kill all the main militants among them, and then move a large number of Chinese people out of the country. We will unite them with culture and ethnic groups. Fifty years later, these people will
The ethnic groups outside the Great Wall that do not have a long cultural inheritance will be integrated into our Chinese nation. If this policy can be maintained for a hundred years, then they will completely disappear from the long river of history."
"However, this idea has two big limitations. First, we have lost too much population. After so many years of war, the empire has lost two-thirds of its population. The number of people who can migrate outside the Great Wall is limited. In this way,
In the future, we will simply not be able to occupy a dominant position here. Once the nations outside the Great Wall become stronger, these people will become their slaves. Secondly, looking at thousands of years of history, it is really difficult for a policy to be maintained for hundreds of years.
I can't guarantee that there will be no faint kings among my descendants of Haotian, so I don't dare to take this risk. In this case, it is better to kill them all. In this way, when the people of China migrate to outside the Great Wall, they
The descendants that continue to reproduce and thrive are all members of the Shenzhou clan."
Qiu Mu asked doubtfully: "Will there be no war in this way?"
"No, they are both members of the Chinese clan. Even if there is a war, it will not be too bloody and cruel. At least they will never be able to do something like the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, which killed tens of millions of people. I don't believe that my descendants can be wise from generation to generation, but
I believe in the integrity and quality of our nation." Haotian said proudly.
Qiu Mu continued: "So, you decided to completely eradicate the alien races outside the Great Wall, replace their positions with the people of China, and then spend dozens or even hundreds of years to completely integrate this place into the scope of the China Dynasty?"
"This is just an idea of mine, but whether it can be done is still a question." Haotian nodded.
"Husband, I have never understood a question. Which organized countries like the three Northeastern countries pose a greater threat to us, or are political organizations like the nomadic peoples in the Northwest?" Zhang Yuewan also interjected and asked.
"It's hard to judge. What can I say? When a nation changes from migration to settlement and begins to create its own writing, that is when their nation undergoes a qualitative change. This is an expression of cross-civilization and represents their
The nation no longer relies on the force of the leader and the relationship of blood. With its own writing and fixed settlements, there will be a division of labor among various functions, which can accommodate people from other wandering ethnic groups and attract more people.
People came here to live together, and then their political power came into being. The strength of the nomadic people often relies on the overall strength of the tribe and the strong personal charm of the leader. This is a political power maintained by force. But countries are different. They already have their own inheritance methods.
, and has its own culture.”
Haotian thought for a moment, organized his thoughts and said: "Although the nomads are powerful, they are only powerful in terms of force. Apart from force, they hold nothing. Therefore, even if they can break into the Great Wall defense line, they will at most cause us huge harm.
, will not affect the process of our entire civilization. It is quite difficult to threaten the security of our entire nation. But regimes like the Three Northeastern Kingdoms are different. Just like the original Sixteen States of Youyun, what we are doing now
It’s exactly the same as what they did back then. If you give them thirty to fifty years, the Sixteen States of Youyun may not truly become their territory.”
"One means that one is a superficial threat, and the other is a fundamental threat." Zhang Yuewan asked rhetorically.
Haotian nodded: "Comparedly, a country with its own culture and organizational form is a greater threat. Just like the eradication of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, we lost nearly 300,000 soldiers. Because they have their own organizational form,
Therefore, the economic culture and comprehensive strength of the entire country can be mobilized to the greatest extent. They have city defense, can smelt iron and make tools by themselves, so our losses are quite huge. But the nomads are different. Iron Eagle and Mandan are
Our strength on the battlefield, at least before 619, could be considered evenly matched. But I bet that if our clan destroyed Tie Ying Qiu Ming, we would suffer at most 100,000 casualties. Because their strength is only maintained by force, and our force is stronger than theirs.
When they are strong, they can only kneel at our feet obediently."
"One hundred thousand, my lord, it seems that he has really done in-depth research on Tie Ying Qiu Ming." Luo Xiang's voice came from not far away. A person next to him had a thick veil on his face, and the grapefruit on his left arm was blowing in the wind.
Piaowu, but Haotian was quite familiar with his body shape, and said in surprise: "Brother Zhen, why are you here?"
Ge Zhen had his ears, eyes, hands, and nose cut off by Monserik. He should be lying on the bed now. Why is he running around behind Luo Xiang?
"Lord." As soon as Ge Zhen saw Haotian, he was about to kneel down.
Haotian frowned, but quickly supported him with both hands. If Ge Zhen wasn't injured, Haotian must have kicked him.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are not above the court, so there is no need to kneel down." Haotian said.
Ge Zhen was also very aware of Haotian's temper, so he stood up and said, "Lord, I heard that you are planning to let your subordinates return to the Holy Capital of Heaven to recuperate."
Haotian smiled and said: "Yes, you were injured too seriously, and some of the wounds have been infected, especially on the left arm. If you don't treat it in time and take a good rest, your life will be in danger. Don't tell me anything else. I, Haotian, took you with me back then."
A bunch of old brothers have left Qingyun, but now there are only more than fifty of you left, and I don’t want you to leave in such a senseless way."
"My lord, my subordinate is a soldier. He can still leap on a horse and fight, but he has not yet reached the stage of retirement." Ge Zhen said unconvinced.
"Since you are a soldier, you should understand what it means to obey orders. Let me tell you, let you go back to recuperate. This is not an advice, this is an order. You must obey it!" Haotian said unceremoniously: "Don't worry, you Falcon Legion
I will help you retain the position of cavalry commander and continue to take up the post after you recover from your injuries."
"That's not what my subordinate is talking about." Ge Zhen said anxiously: "My lord, although the injury on my subordinate's head seems serious, it will not have a big impact on the battle."
"Then your left arm has begun to suppurate." Haotian said.
Ge Zhen glanced at his half-broken arm that was still wrapped in gauze. Monselik had cut off both his and Shuai Kangning's arms to the elbow that day. Since they were on the run along the way, Ge Zhen and Shuai Kangning
There was never enough time to clean the wound, and by the time Fengjing's cavalry arrived, the wound had already suppurated. Shuai Kangning's was better, and Ge Zhen's condition was quite serious. If Fengjing hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid his wound would have suppurated.
And die.
Gritting his teeth, Ge Zhen pulled out the dagger from his waist with a swipe, raised half of his broken arm, and suddenly swung the dagger in his right hand down. As everyone was stunned, the small half of his arm wrapped in gauze fell to the ground, and blood suddenly poured out of his arm.
.
Luo Xiang came back to his senses at this time. Without saying a word, he connected his fingers and temporarily sealed Ge Zhen's acupuncture points. However, the blood was still flowing out. Fortunately, Xin Jiao was also around. Her medical skills were pretty good.
With their help, the two finally stopped Ge Zhen's bleeding.
"Lord, is it okay now?" Ge Zhen said through gritted teeth and endured the pain. His face was covered with gauze, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but everyone could feel his pain.
Haotian panted heavily. He had no idea that Ge Zhen could be so strong-willed. He was about to reprimand him, but listening to Ge Zhen's decisive tone, Haotian knew that it would be completely right if he let him go back to recuperate now.
After thinking about his insult, Haotian still looked at Luo Xiang for help.
Luo Xiang smiled bitterly: "My lord, why not agree to his request? Of course, he cannot go into battle until his injury is healed. If he is not allowed to participate in the battle with the Abbat people, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life."
Haotian had no choice but to nod and say: "Okay, I promise you. Sir, you'd better send him back to rest first. This kid, I really don't know what time to do it."
"Thank you, lord." Ge Zhen said reluctantly.
After the Hetao army pulled out all the cities in the southern part of Shensha City, the army began to slowly move northward, preparing to pull out all the cities in the northern part of Baijing before fighting the Abate people.
Before the Hetao army entered here, there were only a hundred thousand cavalry troops here. Meng Serik didn't know whether it was lard that fooled him or something else, but he actually agreed to Hekimul's proposal and let the tribe elder Tuo Simi lead ten soldiers.
Ten Thousand Warriors and Hekimur's 150,000 Baijing army took the initiative to attack Fengjing's Falcon Legion.
Feng Jing was well prepared and used a small plan to divert Tuo Smith's 100,000 soldiers, and led the main cavalry to attack Hekimur. The 150,000 soldiers led by Hekimur were quite powerful in combat. After all, these were worshipers.
He was the last elite of Beijing, but something happened suddenly. He never expected that Feng Jing would be so bold, and he only had less than 50,000 cavalry under his command, so Feng Jing was caught off guard.
If it were an upright battle, even with the respectful Falcon Legion, it would be difficult to defeat Hekimur's 150,000-strong army. But this was already the last foundation for the capital, and Hekimur was naturally unwilling to do so.
He was buried in the bloody battle with Hetao. As soon as he saw something was wrong, Hekimul immediately led his army to escape.
Feng Jing did not pursue, and turned around to deal with Tuo Smith's 100,000 infantrymen who were still a little dizzy after getting up in an orderly manner. It must be said that the Abat people are quite powerful in combat, and they who come from the far north are not.
Wearing any armor, he only had very simple weapons in his hands. Among all kinds of strange weapons, Feng Jing even saw many soldiers holding spears with spearheads made of animal bones or stones. At that time, he was a little confused.
Fainted.
Facing the impact of the Hetao cavalry, the Abate people all shouted loudly and rushed forward. Feng Jing secretly exclaimed that it was a pity. If such brave soldiers were in the Hetao army, what role would they play. But there is a typical example.
It is their tragedy to be led by generals with strong limbs and simple minds. Moreover, the braver the soldiers, the faster they will die.
Step by step, Tuo Simi's 100,000 troops were lured to the battlefield he had planned. Feng Jing immediately ordered the entire army to counterattack. Considering that the opponents had no armor and were all infantry, Feng Jing specially chose bows and arrows to greet them.
"Commander, isn't this too cruel?" Henghui couldn't help but say.
Feng Jing thought the same way. He was not a soft-hearted person. At least when massacring the people, Feng Jing was no more gentle than Dugu. But he looked at a hundred thousand brave and tenacious warriors in vain using their bodies as shields for their comrades behind them.
, tried to rush up to the Hetao for a close fight, but Feng Jing still couldn't bear it.
"Come here, please stop shooting for the time being and let them surrender. We will ensure their safety." Feng Jing suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Lan Gaoping said in surprise: "Commander, where is the master..."
Feng Jing interrupted him involuntarily and said in a deep voice: "Master, I have my commander in charge, Pan Zhongcheng, see if you can communicate with them."
Pan Zhongcheng was Fengjing's marching commander. He was once a slave of a big nobleman in Mandan. Fengjing's cavalry went out of the fortress, killed the nobleman on the way, and released all the slaves. Pan Zhongcheng followed Fengjing there.
of.
The language of the Abate people is somewhat similar to the Mandan language, but Fengjing himself couldn't understand it anyway, so he had to ask Pan Zhongcheng, who was relatively familiar with the Mandan language, to come on.
Pan Zhongcheng stood up and dismounted, and under the doubtful gazes of the Abbat people, he walked up with his hands spread out without any weapons. After a moment, Pan Zhongcheng turned around and returned.
"How's it going?" Feng Jing asked with concern.
"They cannot lose the honor of warriors. As warriors, they will never surrender." Pan Chongcheng said with emotion: "They said they hope we can fight them upright like heroes."
Fengjing hesitated for a moment and murmured: "Heroes, they should be considered heroes, right?"
"Commander, what did you say?" Lan Gaoping asked.
"Put away your bows and arrows and attack with the whole army. Since they hope to die a heroic death, then we will fulfill the last wish of these warriors!" Feng Jing shouted in a deep voice, and with a wave of his pear blossom gun, murderous intent surged into the sky.
