In the winter of 1685 A.D., the Han king's troops entered Liaoxi, the Qing Shengjing general Dakma committed suicide, and the deputy general Zhengbai Banner Mongolian capital Langning Kaicheng surrendered, and the Han army was stationed in Shenyang without blood.

After Lin Feng commanded the army into Shenyang, he immediately disarmed the defenders of Shenyang, and all of them were driven into the school yard in the city to guard.

According to the archives of the officials previously seized in Beijing, the Han military government had made public the list of Qing court war criminals as early as a year ago, and this list had been submitted since Nurhachi, including Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Fulin, Xuanye and even other Manchu and Mongolian nobles, Han army banner traitors, after more than a year of repair and supplementation, it has been extremely perfect, although it is not so exhaustive, but there are not many who can escape pursuit. According to the order of Lin Feng, the king of the Han Dynasty, these war criminals were found to be responsible for the genocide crimes committed decades ago, among which there are historical witnesses such as the Shenyang Massacre, the Guangning Massacre, the Yangzhou Massacre, and the Jiangyin, Jiading, Shandong, Sichuan cases, etc., and the victims have found more than 19,624,000 people, including the Qing emperor, princes, county kings, scholars, generals of the unified army, and tens of thousands of officers, in addition to dying of illness in the early years, Xuan Ye and others were executed by the Han army in accordance with the law a year ago, and now they have occupied Shenyang, The first thing the Han army did was to hunt down war criminals.

After nearly two years of war attrition, because of the relationship between the two fronts, there are only more than 130,000 people left in the banner who have been stranded outside the pass, and the young and strong men have been exhausted, and these only remaining young and strong men have all become prisoners of the Han army. With Wang Shirong's order, the whole city was searched and arrested for two days and one night, and more than 1,000 military policemen accompanying the army, with the cooperation of the surrendered officials of Shenyang Prefecture, broke into their homes and seized houses according to the plan, and arrested a total of 4,361 war criminals and their families.

The next day, the Han army issued more than 20,000 people in Shenyang, and built a 15-zhang tall sacrificial platform in the western suburbs of Shenyang, Lin Feng led the generals of the whole army to pay tribute, and the people who enjoyed the sacrifice were Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yuan Chonghuan, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui (Meng), Xiong Tingbi and other nearly 100 ancestors and tens of millions of civilians who were killed in the war of aggression decades ago. The high platform is above, the green smoke is swirling, thousands of fires in the western suburbs are burning, the smoke and ashes almost cover the sky, the ice and snow in the western suburbs of Shenyang are melting, led by Lin Feng, 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of Shenyang citizens are kneeling and prostrating on the ground, the cheers are deafening, the bright red military uniforms are surging like a tide, and the earth trembles.

The bloody slaughter began under the altar, the criminals who were beheaded and sacrificed a total of 4,335 people, in addition to the Manchurian nobles, a large number of traitors such as the descendants of the famous traitor Fan Wencheng were also executed, thousands of death row prisoners from the gray-haired old man, down to the babbling young children, looking up, almost all of them were weak women and children, but at the insistence of a large number of soldiers led by Wang Shirong, Lin Feng had to be forced to approve of this extremely cruel atrocity.

The cold wind was howling, the snow was falling, and under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes, thousands of snow-bright ghost-headed knives were swung down, and the families and descendants of the war criminals arrested before, except for the twenty-six babies who were less than six months old, fell into a pool of scorching blood.

After returning to the city, Lin Feng was physically and mentally exhausted, but the generals around him were elated, and Wang Shirong was even more like drunk, his face was full of red and radiant, but Yu Lin Zhonglang made Rick's face full of anger, and his fists were clenched loudly.

"General Rick, you seem upset?!" Lin Feng glanced at it, sighed in his heart, but asked knowingly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!!" Rick bowed slightly, and then said angrily, "This is an atrocity...... It's just cruel, it's ...... This...... What a tarnished honor for the military!! My Majesty! His face was flushed, his mouth stammered, and his excitement and indignation were unobstructed.

"Yes, that's right, I also think it's atrocity!" To Rick's surprise, Lin Feng actually nodded straightforwardly.

Rick was stunned, and then said excitedly, "Then why are you doing this?!" ”

Before Lin Feng could speak, Wang Shirong on the side changed awe-inspiring and said angrily, "General Yulin, forgive your command—does the general know what these Tartars have done in our Central Plains?!" ”

"I know! They slaughter civilians, burn cities, destroy civilization, and they are indeed a mob! Rick looked at Wang Shirong without flinching, "But they are barbarians, we are civilized people, we are different from them, we can't slaughter innocents as unscrupulously as beasts!" And......" he turned to face Lin Feng, "and we are soldiers, and soldiers' swords are used against the enemy, not these poor old men and children!! ”

"These old and weak women and children are the enemy!!" Wang Shirong smiled coldly, looked up at the top of the hall, inadvertently flicked the dust on his cuffs, and glanced at Rick with disdain, "General Mo Ferrick still wants to argue with his subordinates about the Confucian way of benevolence?!" ”

Rick's eyes widened and he stared straight at Wang Shirong, "In the name of God, this is the most ridiculous lie I've ever heard!" ”

"Barbarian, what do you know?" Wang Shirong sneered and turned his head disdainfully, "Conquerors, soldiers first use power, leniency and then benevolence, and the combination of rigidity and softness complements each other, and the root of this troubled world can not be known by a martial artist!" ”

Rick was furious, couldn't bear it anymore, slammed the table, pointed at Wang Shirong's nose, and shouted, "Damn executioner, despicable conspirator, what else would you do but play these shameless tricks?!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and suddenly he pulled out his long sword, took off his gloves and smashed them on Wang Shirong's face, and said angrily, "Okay, damn bastard, if you still have a little sense of honor as a soldier, then pull out your sword!" ”

Lin Feng was furious, kicked over the desk in front of him, and said angrily, "General Rick, put away your sword!" He pointed at Rick, "Sir, obey orders, right away!!" ”

Rick snorted angrily and looked at Wang Shirong, and unwillingly put his sword into the sheath.

Lin Feng tried his best to calm his breathing, and was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "General Rick, do you know why I know that this is a criminal atrocity, but I still want to carry it out?!" ”

Rick was stunned, his eyes blank.

"Because I want other old and weak women and children to live!" Lin Feng pointed to the outside of the lobby, "Do you know that there are still 120,000 poor people who have surrendered in this city, and before that, my army plans to kill them all!" ”

"But...... What does the execution of those people have to do with this?! Rick was still confused.

"The dead can fight for the living to survive," Lin Feng looked at Rick quietly, his face was cold and ruthless, he stretched out a finger, "Revenge, only once, General Rick, I hope you can understand that in addition to being a soldier, I am also a king, and I must consider this matter from the perspective of a politician, so all I can do is try my best to control revenge within a tolerable range!" - As you know, the relatives of these captives committed heinous crimes in the Central Plains, and now, they must also pay for it! ”

Facing the puzzled gazes of the generals in the hall, Lin Feng slowly descended the steps, and said warmly, "Now that the damned people have been killed by us, the price they should pay has already been paid, so these remaining people are the people of the Great Han who have no sins, and they can survive in a relatively mild environment......" He looked at Rick and said softly, "Do you understand?" My general! ”

Rick was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized, and nodded, "That's what you mean...... A small amount of killing to defuse this national hatred? And then so that the survivors can live in peace?! ”

"'A safe life'?! ......" Lin Feng looked out of the door in a daze, suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "What's the difficulty, what is the difficulty...... Hatred has gone deep into my bones, and it's out of my reach! He lowered his head, "Or maybe only time can dilute it!" ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, and after a long silence, Rick sighed, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rude behavior just now!" ”

Lin Feng waved his hand and ordered Rick to get up, and said lightly, "It's nothing, you are a pure soldier and a good general, I like this virtue very much!" He shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I will give an order, these surviving poor people will be separated and relocated to Guangning, Jinzhou, Panjin, Haichengzi, Yingkou and other areas, more than 100,000 people will be incognito, sprinkled on this land like dust, living in Han villages as equals, and no one will ever investigate their past!" ”

A relieved smile appeared on Rick's face, "Very good, my majesty, this is your fulfillment of your promise to General Sabsu, right?!" ”

"Maybe!" Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "Whatever you think." ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... Lord! Wang Shirong, who had been embarrassed for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and bowed his hand to Lin Feng respectfully, "My lord, now the war criminals in Shenyang have all been brought to justice, but the first evil is still at large!" ”

"The first evil?!" Lin Feng was taken aback and said in amazement, "Where is the first evil?!" ”

"The chief of the Jian, Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji have committed great crimes, repeatedly offending our Huaxia and killing the Han people, and their tombs are still safe and sound, aren't they at large?!"

"!" Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Ji Yun, don't be too narrow-minded, although Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are enemies, they are also heroes in the world, we can't do that!" ”

"No, no!" Wang Shirong suddenly smiled weirdly, stepped forward, and said softly, "There is a plan, and these two fangs are being used!" ”

Lin Feng was startled, looked at Wang Shirong in a daze for a long time, his expression was hesitant, he struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally said in a dumb voice, "Please also say it clearly, Mr.!" ”

"Lord Qi, if it falls apart today, the Qing court will fall into the sky, before our army rumored the world, so that its legacy of prestige is also gone, and now it is even more invaded by our army into the old capital, so I think that it is the right time to establish the name of the king and the country!" Wang Shirong's eyebrows fluttered, and he said, "A certain dedication to the lord has a plan: the lord can send a partial general, so that thousands of people send Nurhachi and Huang Taiji to the hills, and then announce their crimes, pass on their corpses to the world, and clearly say: If there are governors in various places who serve the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they will all be the mortal enemies of my Han in the future!" ”

Lin Feng frowned and said, "They have always been the sworn enemies of our big man, wouldn't it be superfluous for Mr. to do this?!" ”

Wang Shirong smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "At this time, at that time, now Wu Sangui occupies Jiangnan, Shang Zhixin occupies Guangdong, Zheng Jing occupies Taiwan and Fujian, Yang Qilong erodes several provinces, Geerdan's army comes west, even Horqin has betrayed the alliance and broken off diplomatic relations, and now even the fundamental land has been captured by our army, what hope does the Qing court have?" He stroked his beard under his chin, and there was a touch of fierceness in his eyes, "Now the Qing court relies on it, the Han army's green camp army, the children of the Eight Banners are rotten and rotten, not worth talking about, Wang's plan is aimed at these half-hearted Han officials, green camp puppet army - the lord can pass the text in all directions, so that the only remaining provinces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must be braided, and the Han clothes are still !! ”

Hearing such a fierce political declaration, Rao is Lin Feng is such a bold person, he couldn't help but gasp, he stared at Wang Shirong deadly, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that Ji Yun taught me to be the enemy of the world?!" ”

"What 'people in the world'?!" Wang Shirong was dismissive, "In the past, the Manchu Qing Dynasty ordered to shave their hair and make it easy to wear, and the world was not divided, what happened to this 'man of the world'?!" Aren't you obedient?! ”

Lin Feng hesitated in his heart, looked at the generals in the hall, and all the generals lowered their heads together, avoiding his gaze, and were distressed for a while, and said with a helpless smile, "This matter ...... The matter ...... It's really shocking, isn't it?! ……”

Wang Shirong said, "If the lord wants to prosper the cause of the king and hegemon and look up to the world, he must do such an extraordinary thing!" He glanced at Lin Feng and laughed in a low voice, "In the past, Dolgon also commanded the world like this, isn't the lord even as good as the chief?!" ”

Knowing that it was Wang Shirong who was agitated, Lin Feng couldn't help but be angry in his heart, slapped the table, and shouted, "Mu Tianyan, this king ordered to immediately lead five thousand people to dig up the graves of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and drag the corpses out of Lao Tzu!" ”

When Mu Tianyan was awe-inspiringly ordered, he pulled out his long knife, pointed obliquely at the sky, and shouted angrily, "Widow ......" looked around, and all the generals of the Han army knelt down in unison, "...... The land is not more than a thousand miles; There are no more than a few dozens; There were no more than 100,000 soldiers; However, up and down in China, north and south of the river, who dares to be my thunderbolt?!!! ”
