Chapter 5: The Massacre
Representatives of the Ira, Ilibi, Elt, and Tairong successively expressed their dissatisfaction with the Mingji people, and the announcement of Ramogis also aroused the resentment of the Tugu people against the Mingji people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of the eight major races that exist in the New World, five are clearly hostile to the Mingji, and the other two naturally want to follow suit.
On March 10, 139 New Calendar, the Leiting Magician Associations issued a joint proclamation, directly condemning the actions of the Mingji people. On the 16th of the same month, the Anwick tribes also issued a joint proclamation, directly declaring war on the Mingji people.
The brutal and robber-loving Anwick are known for their notoriety, and the more foreigners scold them, hate them, and curse them, the more they feel accomplished. However, their notoriety has always been no match for the Mingji people, and in the eyes of the Anwick people, the "honest" Mingji people are not evil, at most they are annoying.
The Mingji people engage in massacres, and we Anwick people also engage in it! The Anwick people also kill wherever they go, and what they do is more hateful than the Mingji people. The slaughter of the Mingji people is just a simple massacre, but the slaughter of the Anwick people is to kill the men over ten years old first, and let the warriors ** women, and when the warriors have enjoyed enough, they can keep the women they like, and kill all the ones they don't like.
As for the children, the girls, regardless of their size, are dealt with in the manner mentioned above. The boy who is obedient stays, and the disobedient is killed. Obedient boys are brought back to the Anwick settlement, where they are educated and become slaves of the Anwicks. When fighting, the Anwick people will treat these slaves as cannon fodder and send them to their deaths, and when the cannon fodder is gone, their own warriors will go into battle.
The Anwick people have always looked down on the Mingji people, but the Mingji people have always stolen their limelight. No matter how many evil things the Anwick people have done, after talking about these evil things, the foreigners will always talk about the Mingji people, giving people the feeling that the Mingji people are more hateful than the Anwick people.
This made the Anwick people very unhappy. The more they look at the Mingji people, the more unpleasant they are, if it is not for the fact that they will not get much benefit from fighting the country of the Mingji people, and they will lose a large number of soldiers, they will definitely give priority to attacking the country of the Mingji people, and when the Mingji people are exterminated, they will attack the forces of other races.
Today, the Mingji people are publicly condemned by the six major races of the New World, which greatly stimulates the nerves of the Anwick people. The Anwick people insist that they are the first evil in the new world, and now the "honest" Mingji people steal the limelight, and then they explode.
The actions of the Anwick were completely expected by Gray, and his plan was originally intended to provoke the Anwick people to declare war on the Mingji and muddy the waters. In fact, in Gray's original plan, this hand could only be used after the Tairong nobles were destroyed. It takes time and a stable environment to integrate the Ilibi Alliance, as long as the Anwick people muddy the waters, the forces of all parties will not dare to act rashly, so that the Ilibi people have time to integrate their forces and a stable environment.
As the saying goes, plans are not as fast as changes, and Gray didn't expect that Chao Xin would inexplicably declare war on the Kingdom of Byrons, because this choice was unreasonable. The Kingdom of Byron has two solid allies, and there is also a United Kingdom, and its available combat power is several times that of the Kingdom of Chaoxin, and the two countries have no grievances and no enemies, so why did the Kingdom of Chaoxin declare war on the Kingdom of Byrons?
The most important thing is that the Chao Xin Kingdom has already declared war on the Xiaohu family because of Wei Xu's discordant plan, and in this case, they should not attack the Byron Kingdom. However, the people of Chaoxin who wanted to fight and were already crazy couldn't care about it so much, and at their strong request, the great prophet of Chaoxin could only declare war on the Kingdom of Byrons.
Maier originally wanted to teach Chaoxin a lesson, and then the two sides made unconditional peace. The coalition annihilated the main force of Chaoxin, and both Maier and Gray thought that Chaoxin would take the initiative to sue for peace, but the destruction of the main force stimulated the fighting spirit of Chaoxin, and Meier had to attack again to prevent the war from spreading to the mainland.
After learning the news of Mel's re-enrollment, Gray had a bad premonition, and it turned out that something really happened. At the beginning of January 139 of the new calendar, the anger of the coalition army spread to the country, and the call for "Dangping Chao Xin Guo" began to appear in the country, and a large number of officers of the city defense army submitted transfer applications, hoping to join the regular army and go to fight in Chao Xin. On January 9, the soldiers of the city defense army of Byrons wrote a blood letter on a white cloth to ask for battle, and all the soldiers of the city defense army, including a considerable number of police officers, cut their fingers and put their handprints on the blood book.
The blood book was sent directly to the Qingshi Palace, and thousands of people gathered outside the main gate, including many civilians. The guards of the Bluestone Palace were at a loss for what to do, so they could only send the blood book to Gray.
Because there were so many people who had blood on their handprints, a two-foot square white cloth was almost completely dyed red, and it was impossible to see what was written on it. Gray knew what was happening when he saw the blood cloth, and he immediately sent someone to inform Emperor Ira, asking him to issue a proclamation condemning the Chaoxin Kingdom and the Mingji people as soon as possible.
After this, Gray walked out of the Bluestone Palace and promised everyone in Byron City on behalf of Mel that no one would be left alive when the war ended.
The people were reassured by Gray, and then slowly dispersed. However, the "anti-DPRK Xinguo" craze did not end there, but quickly fermented into an "anti-Mingji" craze within a week. The people's enthusiasm for the war soared, and even children as young as five or six years old made of wood made of rudimentary weapons made of wood and said such terrible words as "kill the light and gather people" in their childish voices.
The Mingji people are hated by foreigners, and this is their own doing. But the excesses of their own citizens made Gray and Maier depressed for a long time. Father and son had little appetite during this time, and by the day the Anwick people declared war on the Mingji people, the two had lost a lot of weight.
Are Mingji people hateful?
Damn, very hateful, if they become your enemies, you will want to wipe them out of the world.
Do the Mingji people deserve to die?
When seeing this question, there may be many people who will answer in the affirmative without thinking, because everyone except the Mingji people wants to erase this race from the world. Gray and Maier also believe that Mingji deserve to die because their existence would endanger the normal life of other races, and Gray and Meier are among the "other races".
In the same way, Gray and Maier think that the Anwicks deserve to die because they are more hateful than the Minji. The Mingji people do evil, but they themselves don't know that they are doing evil. The Anwicks knew what they were doing when they did evil, but they did it anyway.
In fact, Anwick people's ideas are very right, and Mingji people are indeed "honest". They are just overly biased in their thinking, and lack normal recreational activities, so that they have developed a deformed character. They don't do harm with outright malice like the Anwicks, they just do what they think is right. In the end, the people of Mingji are just going down the wrong path. They are hateful, but they are also pitiful.
Gray and Maier know the hatred of the Mingji people, and they also know the pitifulness of the Mingji people. If a Mingji baby is placed in foster care with a foreign family other than the Anwick, he will not grow up to be as radical as his parents. The same is true for the Anwick people.
Because of this, Gray and Maier don't want to kill the Brightens. They want to keep the ignorant children, not to preserve the blood of the Mingji people, but because these children are innocent. But this idea is unrealistic, the Mingji people will not take the initiative to hand over the child, and it is almost impossible for the coalition forces to snatch the child from the Mingji people, and even if they can grab it, they will have to pay a great loss. The two could not exchange the lives of the allied soldiers for the lives of the children of the Mingji people, so in the end, Maier could only give an order, save if he could, and kill if he couldn't.
On April 1, 139 New Calendar, the coalition forces launched another attack on the state of Chaoxin. The coalition attacked three Mingji settlements at the same time, and this time instead of a conventional attack, the coalition forces focused on the settlement's water supply system, blowing up all the water trucks. In this way, the settlement of the Mingji people lost the supply of living water, and without the living water, the Mingji people had to put a lot of effort into food, wasting a lot of physical strength, energy and time.
The coalition forces besieged the city for several days after blowing up the water truck, and then set fire to the city to drive away the Mingji people in the city. After the water wheel was blown up, the water supply in the city was so short that there was no energy left to extinguish the fire, so they had to retreat in the direction where there was no fire. However, the coalition forces had been waiting in that direction for a long time, and when the persuasion to surrender failed, the coalition forces distanced themselves from the Mingji people and shot all the Mingji people in their line of sight with muskets and crossbows.
As for the village of the Mingji people, the difficulty of attacking is almost zero. During the siege, the coalition would send small troops to clear the villages to which the settlements belonged. Because the Mingji people had to listen to the prophet's lectures regularly, the village would not be too far from the city, nor would it be built in a remote place, so the coalition forces could clean up the surrounding villages without omission.
On 9 April, three settlements were captured. Maier issued a proclamation urging the Xin Kingdom to surrender, otherwise the coalition forces would slaughter the entire territory of the Xin Kingdom. The next day, Chao Xin issued a proclamation saying that it would be the "despicable invaders" who would be slaughtered.
And just like that, the war continued. Counting the time it takes to march, the coalition forces have been able to wipe out an average of one Chaoxin settlement per week, and have so far not captured any prisoners. Seeing that the coalition army began to slaughter the city, the people of Chaoxin actually cut themselves off the door, killed all the children who could not participate in the battle, and wanted to burn the jade with the coalition army.
The coalition forces didn't know what the people of Chao Xin had done, but who knew that Chao Xin actually wrote this matter on the announcement. In this way, the coalition army lost the last psychological burden, and all the soldiers became more at ease and worked harder to kill the enemy.
Due to the fact that the war with Asahin took much longer than expected, Maier's wedding to Ista, Lulu, and Yu Mingli had to be postponed. The three girls understood their fiancé's difficulties, and although they were a little disappointed, they still accepted the reality and obediently waited for Maier in the Bluestone Palace.
On May 18, the war in Chaoxin was still not over, but the good news came back from the Taerong Kingdom.
Wei Xu, a lieutenant general of the regular army, broke through the main city of the Laimao family, killed and captured a large number of family members, and the head of the Lailing family was captured by him himself. The Laiyu family is not a big family, and there are only four branches if you count the family. Before the main city of the main family was breached, the main city of the three divided families had already been breached.
Many members of the divided family fled to the main city of the family for refuge, and Yijuan's ex-husband was one of them. Originally, his family was the family, but his grandfather died three years ago, and the current family has won the position of the head of the family, so his family has become a separate family, and he has also lost the status of the eldest grandson of the head of the family. He fled to the main city of his family with his wife, a son and a daughter, the son was born to Yijuan, and the daughter was born to his remarried wife, who had just turned two years old in May.
Yijuan's son is six years old, no one has told him about Yijuan, and he has always regarded his father's remarried wife as his biological mother. After all, the child was born to her husband and the women of the other family, and the woman did not like him. However, the woman has a good heart, she has not abused the children born to her husband and ex-wife, but simply favors her daughter.
The child had always felt that his mother was cold to him, but he didn't know why. He asked a lot of people, but no one told him the answer. Because his father was ashamed of Yijuan, he didn't dare to face Yijuan's children, and always gave him a sense of alienation. Over time, he got used to this kind of life, and his personality became withdrawn and did not like to be close to people.
After the family's main city was breached, Wei Xu looked for Yijuan's ex-husband as usual. Although this man is indecisive, he has some guts. Wei Xu looked murderous when he was looking for someone, and the man was afraid of affecting his family, so he took the initiative to stand up and was arrested by Wei Xu's own soldiers. After Wei Xu caught this man, he scolded him with a stinking face, saying that he couldn't even protect his own woman and was not worthy of being a man. waited until Wei continued to scold enough, and then asked him where Yijuan's child was.
At first, the man refused to speak, but Wei Xu changed his face and persuaded him softly.
"You Laifu family has nothing left now. Not only now, but also in the future, you will have nothing. If you're lucky, you'll be able to stay alive, but if you're unlucky, you won't even be able to save your life. If you really think about your son, you should let him return to Miss Yijuan. Miss Yijuan's sister, the child's aunt, is the princess of our Byrons Kingdom. When the time comes, your son will become the concubine's nephew, a relative of His Majesty's King, and the future will be bright! Even if you don't get mixed with an official position, you can keep a good food and clothing, and your life is worry-free! Besides, aren't all your relatives with you? It's not hard to get a few people to torture and ask who your son is, I just don't want to torture people. If you understand my good intentions, it is best to hand over the child now and persuade him to return to his mother, or else you will bear the consequences. ”
The man struggled for a few minutes, and finally agreed to Wei Xu's request. He called his son to his side and told him about Yijuan. The boy was not surprised at all when he heard the truth, and his expression did not change at all. His father asked him to go to his biological mother, and he went to Wei Xu without looking back.
