After the interrogation, the disposition of the captives became a thorny issue.

The killing of prisoners is unknown, and wanton killing will destroy the foundation - Naohide doesn't want the white lord to end up becoming a monster with a layer of civilized skin.

Father Peter had a good reputation, and when he was at the temple, he often advised the Lucian soldiers not to oppress the Hezhe too much, and when he was captured, he had to answer all his questions, and the question of how to deal with him became a matter of contention.

Women and children are a red line, and further normative constraints are the laws of war and war crimes, and the relevant international consensus is the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions that originated in later generations — the First and Second Geneva Conventions of 1864 and 1909, and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907.

Captives are now dealt with only on the basis of the principle of due process in law, which has long been established in the Kingdom of England in the fourteenth century, and which in turn derives from the Magna Carta of Liberties of 1215, which states that "the nobility shall not be held accountable or harmed except by a judgment of national law."

The Judicial Assessment Institute is the judicial body of the white lord, and it also has branches in the military.

Peter could have escaped death, but Naohide, as a prosecutor, asked him two questions: As a priest with the army, did Peter have the right to resign? If so, why don't you take the initiative to leave after repeatedly dissuading the atrocities?

Peter defended that he had done his best and that all the results were God's arrangement, but the adjudicators unanimously disagreed with his assertion that he had witnessed the atrocities many times without leaving, and that the jury and the jury agreed that Peter should be sentenced to death for complicity in the murder of civilians and complicity in torture.

Fuso did not have a strict legal system at this time, and the "Prohibition of the Laws of the Imperial Family", the "Laws of the Samurai Family", and a series of other ordinances, such as the "One Country, One Castle Ordinance", "Kanei Ordinance", and "Prohibition of the Construction of Large Ships", were more like administrative regulations, and the two more important laws of the Edo period were the Keiyasu Goshosho and the Edo Town, which were the most important basic laws of the Edo period.

However, in many princely territories and even some imperial domains, these two codes were not widely implemented, for example, some feudal lords formulated their own laws with reference to the "Great Ming Law", and at the same time, Fuso still had no concept of the legal system, and the rule of man prevailed over the law.

There is still a long way to go to reform the old system, but as with today's trial, it will undoubtedly make the internal crowd more receptive to the practice of civilization as a slower but more powerful system than the sword.

After the trial, Naoyoshi Hori, the head of the land king, silently followed Naohide to inspect Woydtun, and after the inspection, he suddenly said, "If the result of the trial is to let Peter go, do you really let him go?" ”

In the previous discussion of the backbone of the commission, it was suggested that "none of the Lucia people should be spared", the reason is: the white lord attacked the Lucia without the order of the shogunate, and he should hide it for as long as he could before his strength was weak, and the human witness was a real hammer after all, so he should be killed. Because "this evil example cannot be made", everyone gave up the idea under the persuasion of Naohide and agreed to "show no mercy in the battle and ~ conduct a trial after the war".

Now that Hori Naoyoshi said such a thing, Naohide was not surprised at all, although the eighteen-year-old Hayato this year was a student raised by himself since childhood, but under the influence of the environment, it is not surprising that there is the idea of only winning, even Naohide himself was shaken before the war, after all, if the shogunate and the Lucia people are flanked on both sides, then the white lord who is still weak will definitely fall apart - there is no need to even fight, the shogunate only needs to send someone to reprimand and order everyone not to trade with the white lord.

"If we kill prisoners today, we may kill women and children tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, if we have no choice but to kill friends, wives, and children."

"But just because we don't kill others doesn't mean that others don't kill us." Naoyoshi Hori is only eighteen years old, although he is a young man

, but it is not yet mature, and it is not a great president who still refuses to extort tyranny from the people in a desperate situation, and still has a lot of fear of the world and life.

"It's hard to do good if you can't do anything. You can give in for a while, but it must be to achieve a better goal in the future, and the road of manhood is not easy to walk. Also, when attacking Miaotun, the prisoner's information should not be listened to and believed. ”

Speaking of the battle below, Naoyoshi Hori temporarily put all the confusion out of his mind, and he hurriedly followed Naohide to find a staff officer to determine the next battle plan.

In October last year, Naoyoshi Hori and Otou risked encountering the Ruthia warship to trade with various tribes, and had confirmed the information of Miaotun, but the situation of several tribes was somewhat contradictory, whether it was a hundred or two hundred or even more, they could not tell at all.

But at that time, Zalasi, the head of Voydtun, had the intention of rebelling against the Lucians, and his information was the most detailed and detailed, which was one of the reasons why the preset battlefield was placed in Voyidtun.

The original plan was to pay a lot of money and free relocation of the people in exchange for Zalasi's cooperation, but the Lucians themselves messed things up, and the bandits paid the due price for the atrocities.

According to the original plan, after successfully luring the snake out of the hole, if the losses of the Fengzhi were not large, they would continue to attack the enemy's outpost in Miaotun and the winter camp on the north bank of the river estuary.

But the original plan included a record of hiring locals who hated the Lucians to replenish their strength, but now that several nearby tunzi people have run out, they can only call in people from Voyidtun, but can Zalasi and the others agree?

Facts have proved that it is better to be a man or leave a line.

Voydtun expressed their full support for Naoxiu and others, one because of the incentive of the big victory, and the other reason was that the Lucian people did too much work.

Before he was released, he went to Miaotun residents to borrow money from his acquaintances - after being robbed many times, the tribe actually had nothing but outsiders to help.

But he found that the aborigines who originally lived in Miaotun were ten rooms and nine empty, and among the Tang merchants who were resident in Miaotun, as long as they dared to stay in winter, they had been killed, and the tribesmen who originally lived here were only some old and young, and most of the young and middle-aged people were killed by the Lusia people under an excuse.

In fact, this is the old trick of the Lusians - after establishing a post in an area, driving away all the people nearby to ensure safety, it would not have been so ruthless at the beginning, but after the governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, sent more than 200 soldiers one after another, the situation was out of control.

The military discipline of the Cossack cavalry was already bad, and it can even be said that there was basically no military discipline in the Far East, and under the stimulus of their wanton behavior, all the Lusians entered into a frenzy of atrocities.

Outer villages such as Voydtun were better, after all, they still needed to pay tribute for food and furs or provide manpower, so the Lusia people were actually merciful to them, but the temple where the outpost was located, the above demanded that the aborigines be cleared to make room for immigrants, so the atrocities were even worse.

After this encounter, Zalasi saw very clearly, everyone had no way to live, after he returned to the tribe, he was originally preparing for his wife and children not to be left, and everyone ran away after stocking up on some food, but he didn't expect to meet Naoxiu and others.

Last time, Naoyoshi Hori and the big head merchants were fairer, and they accumulated some trust. Naoxiu brought so many soldiers to Woydtun, and Zalasi, who had been the head of the company for more than ten years, had long seen that it was wrong, but if Naoxiu wanted to fight the Lusians, he must have raised his hands and feet in agreement, so he helped him with all his might.

But when it came to attacking Miaotun next, Zalasi was a little hesitant at first.

The Hezhe people made a living from fishing and hunting, and gained combat experience from life, and it was one thing to ambush the enemy in Voyid, but it was another to storm the enemy's lair. The Hezhe people prided themselves on their bravery, but after the atrocities of the Lucians and the baptism of this great war, they had a sense of reverence for firearms

After that, there was no way to resist without a musket.

Originally, there were only more than 300 people in the tunzi, but after being destroyed by Lucia, there were less than 30 adult men left - because of the standard of living and sanitary conditions, a large number of children died at that time, and when they grew into a young adult, there were 2.3 times the number of children, and the proportion of non-children was about 30% of the total, but the Hezhe tribe was more cruel and the elderly were even less.

Zalasi was afraid that Dingkou would be damaged again, and secondly, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him, and at the same time, he was afraid that after Zhuang Ding left, he would be attacked by the nearby tribes or attacked by the Lucians—life in the Northland was very difficult, and there were all kinds of threats.

But he didn't dare not agree, because Naohide promised him before the war that he could move all the tribes away, which was the best ending for the Voyd tribe - if he migrated on his own, at least half of the old and weak would die due to the lack of materials.

After this war and the previous conversation, Naoyoshi Hori seems to have matured in a day, of course, it can't be said that he was immature before, but now he has a sense of indescribable heaviness.

Naoyoshi Hori, the head of the land king, promised Zalasi through Horishito that the Lusians could leave fifty muskets for the tribe and that the number of troops could be reduced to fifteen, but this condition was not allowed to be changed.

Moreover, although the nearby tunzi had fled, he certainly could not run far, and he gave Zalasi three days to gather men on the condition that those who participated could be given muskets and food or other supplies; If it is a tribe, seven out of a hundred people can be moved by ship to other places to earn a living, just like Woydtun.

Hori Naoyoshiaki told Zalashi that in this attack on Miaotun, the Hezhe people would not be arranged to rush to the front, but it would not be easy, and they would have to search for fish that had slipped through the net room by room, and the casualties would definitely be higher than the battle of Woydtun, and they would not be reluctant not to participate.

Woydtun can only go to the dark with Zhixiu and others, hearing this, Zalasi no longer hesitated, and immediately sent people around to find people after agreeing to come down - the more people, the smaller the proportion of casualties, this simple truth Zalasi understands.

It's good to have the help of the head snake, Trintun and Biaoerguotun didn't run far, but just hid in the nearby mountains and forests - their food was also not enough to support the migration, plus a few small tribes that had slipped through the net before, they actually made up more than forty warriors.

More fighters is a good thing, but with it comes an increase in population.

All the tribes were frightened by the Lucians, and they all planned to migrate, so they successively moved to Woydtun, the total number of Hezhe people exceeded 1,000, and the current temperature is good, and the end of June is already late spring, so you can find a dry land to make do with, but how to solve the problem of eating?

Fortunately, the last time the Lucia people rode horses, more than 50 horses were killed at that time, and more than 20 were wounded, and more than 50 were caught.

Before the institute, he didn't raise horses at all, first, Fusang Ma Xiao Zhixiu couldn't look down on it, and second, he couldn't afford it.

This time, more than 50 war horses were retained, but Hori Naoyoshi and others insisted - according to Naohide's idea, in the future, naval warfare would be the main land battle, and all the maneuvers would rely on ships, and it would be useless to raise horses. But Naoyoshi Hori and others said that these horses were relatively tall and could be used for farming, and Naohide felt that it made sense.

During this period, on June 24, Manjiro Nakahama returned with a ship.

There are about more than 50 kilometers of road between Voydtun and Miaotun, and after calculating the time of all aspects, Naohide and Nakahama Manjiro agreed to return within ten days. If the Lusia people retreated in Miaotun during this time, then Zhixiu would have to retreat, after all, having to fight does not mean being brutal, and you can still find opportunities in the future, but it will be much more passive, and if you don't do it, you will have to let the Lusia people run rampant in the lower reaches of the Wulong River.

On June 25, all the soldiers boarded the ship, except for weapons, ammunition and three days' supplies, all other supplies were left in Voydtun, and Zalasi led people to stay behind.

In the afternoon of the same day, 148 regular soldiers of the White Lord and 61 soldiers of the Hezhe people brazenly launched an attack on the Lucian outpost in Miaotun.
