Chapter 1364: Slaughtering Prisoners and Pressing (II)
Chapter 1364: Slaughtering Prisoners and Pressing (II)
Liu Bowen opposed the use of prisoners to exert pressure, of course, for Qin Hao's good.
Qin Hao's last time in order to defeat Xiang Yu, he dug up the Yellow Turban army flooded by the Han River, which had already caused Qin Hao to suffer for a long time, and it was not until Qin Hao formed a coalition to fight against Dong and publicized high-yield grain varieties that the infamy of this matter was completely offset.
Liu Bowen didn't want Qin Hao to leave any stains, but the reason why Qin Hao didn't listen to dissuasion and insisted on going his own way naturally also had his considerations, after all, if he didn't slaughter prisoners, how could he stimulate Bai Qi's 'human slaughter' attribute?
On the surface, Bai Qi now seems to be invincible in the art of war, which is quite a bit of 'solitary defeat', but at that time, he had not yet met an opponent of the same level.
Bai Qi came all the way, and all the people he met were Chen Youliang, Liu Xiu, Yang Lin, Wang Mang, Chen Qingzhi, and Murong Chui...... These generals who have not broken 100 basic commanders, of course, can be crushed strongly with the commander attribute of Bai Qi 105, but if they encounter an opponent whose basic commanders are not much different, Bai Qi may not be able to win as strongly as before.
Putting aside the others, Han Xin, Wu Qi and Sun Wu definitely have the strength to compete with Bai Qi, and their exclusive skills are obviously not ordinary skills, and they may not be weaker than Bai Qi after getting the increase in skills.
Bai Qi has not exploded any other skills so far, except for 'Human Slaughter', and I don't know if it will be exploded in the future, but Qin Hao estimates that Bai Qi will not have other skills that increase attributes in terms of permanent increase in basic attributes, such as 'Human Slaughter'.
In the absence of skill amplification, if Bai Qi's basic commander is not high enough, it will be too early in the future, and he may not be the opponent of these three people, so of course Qin Hao has to go all out to enhance Bai Qi's ability.
In addition to inspiring Bai Qi's 'human slaughter', Qin Hao's main reason for slaughtering is because these prisoners of war are all of different races, and they have just committed heinous crimes, and the hatred of Yuan Meng in the whole world has reached its peak.
Therefore, even if the slaughter of prisoners of war would have an impact on Qin Hao's reputation, with Qin Hao having just defeated Yuanmeng to protect China, his prestige had reached a peak, and the impact of the slaughter of prisoners on Qin Hao was almost negligible.
To sum up, the slaughter of prisoners, first, can put pressure on Yuanmeng, second, it can stimulate Bai Qi's 'human slaughter', and third, it will not have much impact on Qin Hao, so Qin Hao will continue to dissuade him from going his own way.
Of course, there are also disadvantages of the butcher, in addition to Qin Hao's reputation, the reconstruction of the Hetao is now in urgent need of a large number of laborers, and these prisoners of war are the best laborers, once the reconstruction of the butcher Hetao will slow down.
It was precisely based on this consideration that Qin Hao did not slaughter all the 320,000 Mongolian prisoners of war, but only slaughtered 160,000 of them from the Yuan and Mongolian nationalities, and kept another 160,000 slaves as laborers.
In general, the massacre of prisoners will have an impact on the reconstruction of the Loop, but it will only be temporary.
Killing these heinous Yuanmeng prisoners of war, in exchange for the hearts of millions of people in Hetao, as well as the huge war ore distribution on the Yuanmeng side, the reconstruction command of Hetao will be faster in the future and will never be slowed down, after all, Qin Hao has already summoned two million people to Hetao, and there will definitely be no shortage of labor in Hetao in the future.
Qin Hao was angry on the surface, and retaliated against the Yuanmeng prisoners of war, but in fact he was very calm, and he took everything into account.
Of course, others don't think so, they just think their lord is irrational, but that's nothing, after all, who hasn't had a temper yet.
Qin Hao is currently at a high-spirited age, and it is nothing to be willful occasionally, and it is not a big deal, so Liu Bowen did not continue to dissuade Qin Hao.
After Bai Qi received Qin Hao's slaughter order, the whole person stood up directly excitedly, during this time, he was disturbed by the prisoners of war.
In the battle of Hetao, Yuan Meng slaughtered and killed the people of Hetao too ruthlessly, and after the war, the basic family of Hetao wore linen and filial piety, and this feud was too big, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will not die.
Therefore, since the end of the war, there have been local people in Hetao every day, making trouble in front of Bai Qi's house, demanding the massacre of Yuan and Mongolian prisoners of war and avenging the dead relatives and friends.
Of course, Bai Qi also wanted to slaughter the prisoners, but without the order of the lord, how could he dare to give this order? After all, that's 320,000 people, not pigs.
Bai Qi was helpless against the people of Hetao, and had nothing to do, so he had to say to the people that he did not have this right, and the people could spontaneously submit the letter of the people to Yang, and if the Duke of Qin agreed, then he would naturally obey the order.
Bai Qi threw the pot to Qin Hao, and this throw directly threw out a book of 500,000 people, and the number of people was still increasing, almost scared all the ministers of Jinyang.
According to this trend, it is only a matter of time before one million people reach the total, and how many people are there in Hetao for naturalization?
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jinyang's high-level officials immediately held a meeting to discuss, and the final result was that they could not be killed.
Those who are officials must have the majesty of those who are officials, and they can't say whatever the people say, otherwise the people will have more excessive demands in the future.
Of course, this is just a scene, the main thing is that Qin Hao, who is the lord, does not speak, and the courtiers dare not take the responsibility of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war.
Now, Qin Hao finally spoke, and Bai Qi could finally directly solve this batch of Yuanmeng prisoners of war that he hated without worries, but he fell into another concern.
As soon as the slaughter incident comes out, it will definitely affect the reputation of his father-in-law, and Bai Qi, like Liu Bowen, does not want this incident to affect his father-in-law.
Anyway, this order was given in secret, and no one else knew, so Bai Qi decided not to accept this order, and instead used his own name to slaughter prisoners to help his lord resist this infamy.
"Governor, have you thought it through?"
Ran Min asked with a serious face, his eyes were full of admiration, anyway, he would never dare to do this without an order, otherwise there would only be a dead end.
"There is nothing to think about, and now the people of the Hetao are angry, and if these prisoners of war are not dealt with, they will inevitably cause a riot.
As a minister, you should take the initiative to share the worries of the Lord, but although the Lord has some intentions, it is not easy to give orders, and now is the time for me to share the worries of the Lord.
Rest assured, the Governor will bear the responsibility of the Governor, and you will only be coerced by the Governor. Bai Qi said with a cold face.
"What are the Metropolitan Governor's words, since we are here, we will never let the Metropolitan Governor bear it alone.
But we can understand your painstaking efforts, but others will not necessarily or even impeach you if they don't appreciate it, but will impeach you......"
Meng Tian said worriedly, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Qi raising his hand.
"These people are just clowns."
Speaking of this, the confidence on Bai Qi's face flashed, and he smiled lightly: "Don't worry, this governor still has some credit, and the lord will definitely protect me." ”
