Chapter 2833: Slaughter and plunder humans and beasts
The last few words of Liu Yu's voice were deafening, like thunder from the sky, exploding in everyone's ears and shaking their hearts. Together with Liu Yu's resolute expression and clenched fists, they followed him for many years.
The brothers now understood that this was Liu Yu's final decision and it was what he said from his heart, and there could be no change.
Zhuge Changmin swallowed a sip of saliva and said with difficulty: "Well, Jinu, I didn't mean that just now, I meant..."
Liu Yu's tone was slightly slower, but still very firm and stern: "Changmin, I understand what you mean. We have been in the Beifu Army for more than 20 years and have experienced these things firsthand. Why did I pacify the army under Liu Zhenbei?
When they were in Wu Di, they had to break away from his command and take a thousand brothers to defend the isolated city of Haiyan? Isn't it because he couldn't stand his method of plundering troops? He didn't regard going to Wu Di to suppress rebellions and suppress bandits as a
It was to fight against rebellions for the country, but as a means to expand its strength and please the sergeants. Anyone in the Wu area who was a traitor could be plundered and treated as collaborators. This made many good people and native surnames who were originally loyal to the imperial court
The family was innocently implicated?"
Liu Yu's eyes were like lightning, and he cast his eyes on Shen Tianzi: "Tianzi, you said that in Wudi at that time, all those manor owners and common people who were said to be collaborators were like this? Could it be that hundreds of people in Wudi were like this?
Are all the people submissive and rebellious?"
Shen Tianzi shook his head: "Definitely not. Our Shen family took the initiative to join the demon thieves at that time, but about 80% of other families with the surname Wu Ditu did not actively join. The demon thieves sometimes sent people to these manors to persuade the owners of the manor.
We asked them to join, but most of them refused. After all, everyone wants to live a peaceful life, and not many people think that the demon thief will definitely win."
"However, Tianshi Dao has been spread in Wu for hundreds of years, and almost every family has someone who believes in the religion. Even if the manor owner does not agree, there will always be a few people in his manor who go to join the rebels. Therefore, Liu Zhenbei's army later
When they arrived, Tianshi Dao first did not engage in battle with the army and directly retreated to the sea. The army went to the countryside to interrogate people in the name of searching for their comrades. As long as someone participated in the rebellion, the entire estate would be labeled as a rebel comrade and confiscated.
For ordinary people, if one person in the village becomes a thief, it will also implicate the entire Zhuangzi. This is why when the demon thief came back for the second time, far more people joined them than when they first raised an army."
Liu Yu looked around and said in a deep voice: "Did you hear that, everyone? You were the witnesses and even the executors of many of these things at that time. Even during the Northern Expedition to the Huru, we never dealt with those people so harshly.
How can you win the hearts of the people by brutally dealing with the people in the name of punishing thieves? Even if you defeat Sun En and Lu Xun, how can the people of Wu, who have seeds of hatred planted in their hearts, stop rebelling?"
Liu Fan sighed: "What Brother Jinu said makes sense, but there is something you may not know. After you left, some of our soldiers also mentioned it to Liu Zhenbei, saying that we were officers and soldiers and could not
He did this, but Zhenbei said that this was Sima Yuanxian's secret order, in order to use this method to frighten those demon thieves who believed in the Tao of Heavenly Masters. If one person believed in the religion and rebelled, the entire village would be looted.
On the one hand, it can make the brothers rich so that their journey will not be in vain. On the other hand, it also prevents them from supporting the demon thieves in the future. After all, Wudi is the territory of the aristocratic families, and they have always looked down on our Beifu Army.
This is an opportunity to establish one’s authority..."
Liu Yu said sternly: "Establishing prestige? What kind of prestige is established? Prestige is established against the enemy. It is established by winning battles and killing the enemy on the battlefield. How can we establish prestige by raping, raping, and plundering our own people? This is establishing enmity."
! We are soldiers, soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, and the people of the Wu region are also the people of the Jin Dynasty. Facts have proved that when Sun En revolted the first time, not many people followed him, only 20,000 to 30,000 die-hard believers, because the bankers of the Wu region
My life was very miserable, and I wanted some spiritual sustenance, so I believed in the Tao of Heavenly Masters. Does this mean that all of them are thieves?"
"Liu Zhenbei's approach made them join the thieves in large numbers. The final result was that the family's manor collapsed, and the population of Wu was reduced by more than 80%. What benefits did our Beifu Army gain? The rebellion could have been easily put down.
, how many more people have we lost? How many brothers have left us forever in this war? Can this amount of money buy back the lives of hundreds of thousands of counter-rebellion lieutenants?"
Zhuge Changmin murmured: "Did we really do something wrong back then?"
Liu Yu said loudly: "What a big mistake! Liu Zhenbei did this for two reasons. First, after he regained his position as the commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army, in order to expand his strength, he quickly recruited a large number of troops after the fall of the former Qin Dynasty.
Bandits and horse thieves scattered all over the country enlisted in the army to increase the number of the Beifu army. They are different from our old Beifu brothers. They only fight for money and women. If they are not allowed to plunder, they will mutiny or flee if they do not get the benefits.
, Liu Zhenbei brought these hungry wolves to Wudi, just to let these tigers and wolves eat the people, become more loyal to him in the future, and become his private army!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "You heard it when you heard it. I said it in front of him. I had an argument with Zhenbei in front of him about this, and finally turned away and left. And I hadn't finished speaking. At that time
Zhenbei may have been bewitched by the mafia or even the Tiandao League, especially the Tiandao League. Now we know that the purpose of the black robe is to destroy the family and eliminate the mafia. This requires the mafia to stay in Wudi.
All the weapons, food and grass in the dark and the manor and farm in the bright were destroyed. On the one hand, the demon thieves started to rise, and on the other hand, Zhenbei led the tiger and wolf troops to burn, kill and loot in Wudi. In the end, their plot succeeded, and the Jin Dynasty was weakened.
The aristocratic family was unable to provide money and food, and then Huan Xuan took the opportunity to enter the capital to usurp the throne. If we hadn't established the righteousness, I'm afraid the Beifu Army would have eradicated it!"
Sun Chu took a breath of air: "Oh, listening to Jinu's analysis, this is really the truth. We are all kept in the dark, and we are still happy because we robbed so many things in Wu. Damn it!
"
Yu Qiujin's brows were furrowed, with a look of remorse on his face: "Yes, my two brothers and three nephews all died in the fight against the rebellion, and there were also more than two hundred subordinates who have been with me for many years.
They were all gone. At that time, I became red-blooded. When I saw the manors and villages with the Celestial Master and Taoists, I burned them and robbed them. I thought this was revenge. As a result, the revenge became more and more frequent. Later, all the people in Wu saw it.
Our eyes look like enemies, and I just want to kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
