Chapter 2930: Killing people is unkind and righteous
Shen Tianzi said bitterly: "Wang Canjun, what you said is too much. More than 200,000 Xianbei people are hiding in the city and dare not come out. When they see our unarmed Han civilians, they start to massacre them. When our army arrives, even if There are only a few thousand people, and they are too scared to fight. Do you still expect our soldiers to attack the city directly? We have captured tens of thousands of Xianbei people who want to enter the city. Even if they are common people, do you think we should kill them? Coward? Isn't dealing with these people under the city a way to lure the enemy into fighting? And building up the capital is also a way of frightening the enemy or luring them to leave the city and attack. It has been around since ancient times, so why is it the behavior of a coward? Already?"
Tan Shao nodded: "Yes, since ancient times, corpses of enemy soldiers have been piled up in Beijing to frighten the enemy and show off our military's martial arts. This cannot be simply said to be cruel."
Shen Tianzi said proudly: "Look, this temple in Beijing has existed since ancient times. I remember that Wu and Chu had this old custom in the past. If Yan thieves can kill the heads of our people, then we will pile them up in the capital." Guan, it is also disrespectful to come and not go back."
Wang Zhene said calmly: "Therefore, the Yan thieves did not dare to fight with our soldiers. They only dared to vent their anger on the unarmed Han civilians. We must also learn from them, and we only kill civilians to show off our martial arts." ,Yeah?"
Shen Tianzi's expression changed and he sneered: "These Xianbei people will become sergeants after entering the city. They will also go to the city to defend and even become soldiers like other Xianbei people. You know, Xianbei people never do anything. Production, both men and women, old and young, are capable of riding and shooting. Killing them will weaken the enemy's ability to defend the city in advance and avenge our innocent people. What's wrong with that?"
Wang Zhene sighed softly: "If you say so, then there is no problem for the Yan thieves to kidnap our people and invade Huaibei?"
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "Wang Canjun, please understand your position. You are a Han and a general of the Jin Dynasty. Why do you always have to speak for the Hulu?"
Wang Zhen'e said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because we are Han people, people with moral integrity, and we must respect etiquette, justice, integrity, and benevolence, so we cannot be like those beast-like barbarians who kill everyone and rob things when they see them. We can't kill like them without distinguishing between soldiers and civilians. If they kill Hulu and kill civilians on sight, then this kind of butcher will never be polite to Han people in the future. We are human beings. Soldiers who uphold benevolence and righteousness cannot allow themselves to degenerate into cold-blooded butchers!"
Shen Tianzi said solemnly: "Everyone can tell you the truth. If it is what you want, not only can we not avenge the tragic deaths of our people, but we must also treat these Xianbei people as uncles, with good food and drink, and also provide protection. , don’t let us Han people go to them to settle old scores over the past hundred years, right?”
Wang Zhene shook his head: "Since they are the people of Nanyan who were intercepted by our army, as long as they are willing to be my subjects of the Jin Dynasty, they should be treated equally. Those who do not want to submit to the Jin Dynasty should be treated separately, but since they are my subjects of the Jin Dynasty
They should be granted and allocated land just like the Han people, and they should also pay taxes and serve accordingly in return. As for protecting their lives and property, it is self-evident. Let me say it again, they did not
Those people who participated in killing us are legally innocent, and even if they are brought to justice, they cannot be implicated."
Tan Shao said in a deep voice: "If Wang joins the army, he is a little bit bookish. You also know that the Xianbei Hulu are barbaric and cruel. These people did not kill our people, not because they did not want to do it, but because they did not catch up. The same thing happened before
Tribal tribesmen and ordinary people also participated in the massacre of our civilians, so I think there is nothing wrong with establishing some authority. Our army in Linqu City killed 100,000 enemies, but we couldn't bring those corpses, so we can use these
Although it is against benevolence and righteousness for the Xianbei people who have not had time to enter the city to establish their authority, they can also be dealt with in a special manner during this special period. After all, they came from other places to Guanggu to enter the city, which determines their decision to do so at this time.
He is still loyal to Nanyan and is an enemy of the Jin Dynasty, and he does not want to be a subject of the Jin Dynasty."
Xiang Mihaha smiled: "Ah Shao said it well, benevolence and righteousness are meant for one's own people and people. Those who are determined to be our enemies and oppose us are enemies. Even if killing them is a bit excessive, but
It is impossible for them to survive and be treated as Han people in the Jin Dynasty. Just like those demon thieves from the Celestial Master Tao before, they were spared their lives, but they had to be slaves to atone for their sins. This is the minimum."
"Brother Jinu, I think what everyone said makes sense. Wang joined the army because he wanted to be benevolent and righteous to influence these Xianbei people, but I think it is not easy. As soon as the army arrived this time, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people in Qingzhou all ran away.
After entering Guanggu City and becoming our enemies, Murong Chao and Heipao will not surrender. They vow to be our enemies to the end. If they really want to fight, the hatred will become deeper and deeper. Perhaps, through this attack on the city
, the best choice is to eliminate all these stubborn Xianbei ugly people and prevent future troubles forever. Well, of course, my sister-in-law must be rescued first, and she cannot be destroyed with them!"
Liu Yu said expressionlessly: "The destruction of Yan this time is a military matter. How can it be done just because of one person? If we really decide to attack Guanggu, we don't care who lives or lives. Compared with destroying Yan, it is not worth it."
By the way, Tieniu, don’t mention this kind of thing in military discussions. What we want to discuss now is how to deal with the Xianbei people in the city. Your opinion is to simply wipe them all out and never cause further trouble, right? How many people are there?
You think so? Raise your right fist."
Most of the generals raised their right fists without hesitation. Only six or seven people, including Wang Zhene, Liu Zhong, and Zhu Lingshi, did not raise their hands. Shen Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, originally wanting to follow Shen Tianzi and Shen Linzi in raising their hands.
Shen Tianzi glared at him with dissatisfaction, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Xanthium, when did you become a mother-in-law like some people, believing in benevolence, righteousness, and reason all day long?"
Shen Qingzhi shook his head: "I was thinking about participating in Hebei. Tuoba Si did what you said to avoid future troubles and killed 70,000 Yan troops who surrendered. But the result was that when Yan was destroyed later, all places All the Xianbei tribesmen refused to surrender, which cost the Northern Wei Dynasty more than ten times. Even today, the hatred caused by the siege and plundering of the land has made the land of Hebei rebel and have been unable to be pacified, so that even today, There is no way to chase down the two Yans from the north and the south. We broke through Guanggu today and slaughtered all the more than 200,000 Xianbei people. It will indeed be refreshing for a while, but we will continue the Northern Expedition later, and there may be millions of barbarians who dare not If we surrender again and fight to the end with us, how many more lives of our soldiers will we have to sacrifice by then? How much more energy will we spend on appeasing the people after the war? Our main reason for sending troops is to punish the people and punish them. If we follow the example of the Hu people and aim at killing , then who is the guilty one?”
