After Xue Hong returned to camp, he issued a new military order prohibiting large-scale massacres of cities without reason.
There is no other way. First of all, if he really leads these seven thousand people to kill nine million people with steel swords, there will definitely be some overfed brats who will impeach him when he comes back to the court.
The transformation and evolution of Xue Hong's Taoist heart was at a time when the Taoist heart was fragile. He accidentally saw Baochai's jade body, and his Taoist heart was already unstable. After running around and fighting for days and killing people, Xue Hong's soul had become more and more dusty with blood.
Normally, Xue Hong would not frown even if he slaughtered ten more cities.
And now, the cause and effect and blood energy formed by many large-scale massacres in the city are really huge, and even Xue Hong can't help but feel palpitations.
Even if Xue Hong can rely on Dahuangting's body protection to live in peace, even if his Taoist heart changes and his soul is weakened, he can still protect his original heart, but others can't.
Once these seven thousand people make massacre and looting a habit from the beginning, they will be in big trouble when they return to the Ming Dynasty!
Whether these seven thousand people can kill most of the Japanese people, it will definitely take a year and a half! But the gain outweighs the loss.
Xue Hong still planned to follow the original strategy to push Japan back to the Warring States period, and fan the flames to cause internal strife and a large loss of population.
Indirect genocide is okay, but direct genocide is not allowed. Otherwise, there will be all kinds of troubles.
And there is still Confucianism and Buddhism. As long as Emperor Longqing orders people to compile history: The people of Japan are all citizens of China who left the country during the Qin Dynasty. Today they should return to China, and the country will naturally return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty!
Then let the Confucians make up some nonsense and send some monks to Japan to coax and scare them, and it will be done!
Besides, who will go mining after killing all the people? Population is not a resource, right?
After Xue Hong gave the order, although it was difficult for the soldiers to understand it, they could barely accept it.
After all, if you hang out with Xue Hong, the general, you will earn merit and money! They are willing to obey Xue Hong's orders for small matters.
In the commander's tent, Zhu Hui didn't quite understand: "Junchen, why did you suddenly issue an order prohibiting large-scale massacres of the city without any reason?
It is a rule not to seal the sword after entering the city for three days, not to mention this is a foreign race."
Xue Hong rubbed his eyebrows: "Have you not noticed that these seven thousand people have changed too much in a short period of time? They have become less and less serious about human life.
If this continues, when our troops return to the court, these 7,000 people may cause even greater trouble when they return to the capital camp."
Chen Chen looked a little heavy: "It's true, the morale of these soldiers has been rising during this period, and there will be an abnormal additional increase after each massacre.
At present, some of these people have begun to disobey discipline, and something will definitely happen if they continue!"
Xue Hong: "It is unrealistic to massacre all of Japan. If we really want to do this kind of thing, we can't do it with only 7,000 people!"
"It's better to wipe out the last forces of the shogunate as soon as possible, let Japan return to troubled times, and let them consume themselves."
Zhu Hui: "Well, there are ruins everywhere here, and I don't like it very much. It's really boring. Junchen, then just do what you want!"
Chen Chen: "I also listen to you."
Xue Hong nodded and passed down the military order: "The whole army will rest on the spot for two days. I will continue to take you to earn military industry!"
…
Two days later, Xue Hong led his troops straight to the location of the Emperor of Japan. Along the way, he encountered many small-scale samurai and some robbers composed of civilians, and they took the opportunity to escape.
The distance between Kawato and the seat of the Japanese royal family is not very far, and it takes a little more than a day to get there.
The old rule is to clear the ground with artillery fire, and then go into the city to hit the target!
Xue Hong and the other three were listening to the beautiful sound of artillery fire under the moonlight.
Ah~ My life in the Heavenly Kingdom is so simple and unpretentious. Either I am saving friendly neighbors, or I am on the way to save friendly neighbors. (??＞?? After dozens more rounds of artillery fire, the city was basically in ruins.
Xue Hong: "Enter the city to arrest...save the Japanese king and kill the rebels! Kill all those with weapons! Kill all those who resist! Don't accept the surrender of enemy soldiers! Enter the city!"
"kill!!!!"
The moment they formally attacked the city, both Zhu Hui and Chen Chen saw the wisdom of Xue Hong's order not to massacre the city for no reason.
The current state of these soldiers is so abnormal! Bloodthirsty, greedy, and excited. If Xue Hong hadn't accumulated enough prestige during this period, something might have happened!
After entering the city, the troops were also divided into three groups, one to rob the Japanese king, one to repair the military camp, and one to rob the big households in the city.
Most of the palace where the Japanese king lived had been destroyed by bombing.
Xue Hong: "General Manager Qian of the Firearms Battalion, Zuo Zhuzhu! Look, everything has been blown up like this. Where can we "rescue" the Japanese king?"
Zuo Zhuzhu felt very aggrieved: "General, when we were firing, you, the prince and the marquis all said that we should shoot twenty more! Twenty more. Isn't this your order?"
Xue Hong: "(=??Д??=)Okay then. You guys first search to see if there are any survivors, and if there are any, tell me immediately."
After searching for a while, we found a few survivors.
Fifteen boys and three girls.
Xue Hong took out the copper plate. If it was flower noodles, he would kill all the men... Well, it was flower noodles! Kill them!
Xue Hong looked at the remaining three women and saw that they were not very old. The oldest was only seven or eight years old. All three of them were noble and most likely belonged to the Japanese royal family.
Xue Hong looked at the three of them. Among them was a girl who was cowardly and the youngest, only about four years old.
Xue Hong's eyes lit up: "The Japanese king has been found! This little guy is the Japanese king! Kill those two. It is enough to keep one of the Japanese royal family."
As for whether the female doll is the Japanese royal family, no one cares. Xue Hong said she is, she is!
As soon as the Ming Dynasty canonization comes, who is in favor and who is against it?
Since Xue Hong's expedition, in more than two months, he has conquered thirty-one cities and killed more than two hundred thousand enemies! He has killed twenty-nine rebellious names!
Now at least one-third of the famous names in Japan have been cleared away by Xue Hong.
You can send battle reports back to Ming Dynasty.
Let’s just say that our department successfully rescued the old Japanese king, but he was tortured by the Tokugawa clan into a state of disgrace.
After being rescued by the Ming army, in order to express his gratitude, he had to hand over all the minerals in Japan to the Ming Emperor unconditionally.
Furthermore, he passed the title of King of Japan to his "only" daughter, and asked the Ming Dynasty to come to the country and send troops to protect her.
Well! That’s what the military newspaper wrote!!
As for the silver on the ship, Xue Hong 10%, Zhu Hui 10%, Chen Chen 10%, and the rest must be handed over to Emperor Longqing.
Although each of the trio only has 10% silver, people should be content. Besides, there is still a share of the Yinshan gold mine!
Xue Hong: "Tsk! No... who is that? The Japanese king is still a child, and you are carrying your legs like a chicken? You are doing it upside down!"
Then, Mr. Qian changed the Japanese king from carrying her legs to holding her neck and collar. As for the king's treatment? Bullshit! She was made a prisoner. Xue Hong was kind-hearted in sparing her life.
