Chapter 1367: 'The Treaty of Qin, Yuan and Jinyang' (1)
Chapter 1367: "Treaty of Jinyang between Qin and Yuan Dynasties" (Part 1)
Not long ago, Li Shimin sent troops disguised as Qin troops to intercept and kill hundreds of officials and frame them for Qin Hao. It can be said that it shocked the whole world and aroused discussion and discussion among most people in the world.
Not long after, Bai Qi's massacre of prisoners set off another hurricane throughout the world, and this time more people were talking about it than Li Shimin's time.
Regarding this matter, people from all walks of life all over the world have mixed opinions, some are praising and some are belittling, but in general, most of them understand it.
In today's tight social environment, the tolerance for the massacre of prisoners is extremely harsh. However, it is precisely under such a cruel social environment that people all over the world are destined to lack compassion and be able to take care of themselves.
That's pretty good, but it's not so fraternal as to classify foreign races as one's own.
Each of the Yuanmeng prisoners of war captured by the Qin army this time had Han blood on their hands. For most people in the world, it is true that death is not a pity for such heinous crimes.
In addition, the people of Hetao wrote letters begging the government to seek justice for them, which can be said to be what the people want, and Baiqi's massacre of prisoners can also be said to be in compliance with the people's wishes, so naturally there is not much to blame.
Of course, for a small number of corrupt scholars and those who have a heart for the Holy Mother, aren't foreigners human beings? You must know that life is equal, so it is natural to hold back and scold them in vain.
Even Dong Zhuo, the Great Demon King, had never done such a thing as slaughtering 160,000 prisoners at once, but Bai Qi dared to do it.
Therefore, in the hearts of these people who are overflowing with the heart of the Holy Mother, Bai Qi is simply the great devil who has surpassed Dong Zhuo, and they all want to drown Bai Qi alive with their saliva.
On the other side, when the news of Bai Qi's massacre of 160,000 Yuan Mongolian prisoners of war reached Boyan's ears, the Yuan-Meng envoy suddenly felt that the sky was about to collapse.
You know, there was such a voice from Longcheng before, saying that Qin Haoding was unwilling to see a unified grassland and was very likely to support Yuanmeng to fight against the invasion of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, as long as Yuanmeng was willing to pay a certain price, it might not be possible.
The captured soldiers cannot be redeemed.
Now that the Manchu and Qing dynasties have invaded the country, Yuanmeng has sent out all the members of this sect, just to prevent the country from being destroyed, and this has also made the entire Yuanmeng country very tense.
Yuanmeng was in urgent need of a large number of veterans and elite troops to fight against the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers, so these 320,000 captured soldiers had actually become the hope of Yuanmeng's senior officials to defeat the Manchus.
As a result, Bai Qi massacred all Yuan and Meng prisoners of war at one time, leaving only 160,000 slave soldiers who had no sense of belonging to Yuan and Meng. Now there was no hope for Yuan and Meng to defeat the Manchus, and they could only rely on
I went to fight for my life against the hundreds of thousands of Manchu troops.
After Boyan learned about this, he flew an eagle message to spread the news back to the country, and at the same time asked to see Qin Hao again to seek justice for the surrendered soldiers.
"Your Highness, Duke Qin, when your army accepted our surrender, you promised that you would never settle the scores. Why are you doing such a brutal thing as the massacre now? Aren't you afraid of breaking your promise and betraying the world?" Boyan said with grief and indignation.
I have to say that although Boyan is from Yuanmeng, when he talks about these high-sounding words, he is more Han-like than many Han people, but Qin Hao does not follow his example.
"I did promise not to settle the accounts later, but the person who issued the massacre order this time was not me, but my Grand Governor Bai Qi. What does this have to do with me?"
Qin Hao actually said this, Boyan couldn't help but secretly thought: Shameless.
Although the massacre of prisoners was apparently carried out by Bai Qi without permission, Boyan would not believe it even if he was beaten to death if there was no instruction from Qin Hao.
You yourself are afraid of being stigmatized, so you let your subordinates take the blame for you and throw all the responsibilities onto others.
People can't be so shameless, right?
Boyan originally thought that Qin Hao was a domineering monarch, but now he has a new understanding of his shamelessness. He is a peerless hero with both strength and softness. No wonder His Majesty Temujin, who would rather bend than bend, cannot defeat Qin Hao.
Although Boyan was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Hao, he did not dare to show it on his face. Qin Hao did not take it seriously and said to himself:
"You Yuan Meng did so many heinous things in Hetao, which made the people in Hetao complain. Millions of people signed the People's Letter, demanding severe punishment for prisoners of war and justice for the people.
Bai Qi could not withstand the pressure of the people, so he had no choice but to comply with the people's wishes, and I have already punished him extremely severely, so you should not worry about this matter."
Hearing what Qin Hao said, Boyan felt that his intelligence was insulted and that he had no choice but to do so.
He has learned a lot today, and he has truly seen what it means to turn black into white.
Boyan's teeth itched with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "May I ask Qin Gong, how did you punish Bai Qi?"
"I fined Bai Qi one year's salary."
Qin Hao looked like he should take it for granted and said: "How about it, is it heavy enough?"
"Ahem..."
Boyan was so angry at Qin Hao that he couldn't hold it back, so he lost his breath and coughed all of a sudden.
At this moment, all Boyan wanted to do was scold people. Your uncle is simply too much of a bully.
It was naturally impossible for Qin Hao to kill Bai Qi, but for such a big thing as the massacre of 160,000 prisoners of war, even if it was superficial, at least it would have to be a big deal.
But Qin Hao didn't even want to pretend, but he was fined a year's salary.
For a famous general like Bai Qi with real power, a year's salary is nothing, not even a drizzle of money. This is simply an honorable humiliation.
Boyan knew that from Qin Hao's side, he would definitely have no reason to come, and if he continued to stay, he would only bring humiliation to himself, so he decisively resigned and left.
Looking at the figure who left in anger, Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said lightly: "You are not overestimating your own capabilities."
Shortly after Boyan left Qin Hao, he learned that people from all over Bingzhou were transporting grain and grass at Zhenbeiguan. He immediately realized that Qin Hao might be impatient with the delay in Yuan-Meng negotiations, and it was very possible that he really
Send troops to attack Dragon City.
At this thought, Boyan was horrified. He quickly sent a letter to Longcheng about everything he had experienced in Jinyang, as well as the matter of food and grass, and waited for Tuo Lei from Longcheng to give him further negotiation instructions.

After receiving Boyan's flying eagle message, Longcheng's senior officials were immediately filled with grief.
One hundred and sixty thousand prisoners of war were massacred, and Qin Hao's extremely strong attitude made everyone unable to hold their heads up. A mood called despair enveloped the hearts of all Yuan Meng senior officials.
In the palace, Tuo Lei, who was wearing the imperial robe of Emperor Yuan, said with a bitter look on his face: "Kublai Khan, you have also seen that it is not me who is weak, but Qin Hao who is strong and unreasonable."
