Chapter 159: Li Qingbiao and Zhao Qiang
When Li Huolian relied on his martial arts to kill the Mongolian generals, despair rose at the moment of the fight.
didn't need to be protected by others at all, Xu Shiji directly grabbed Li Huolian and his wife one by one in his hands, and used his internal force to stun the two.
But the other arhats and die-hard sect fans were not so lucky, more than twenty people died in the hands of Yang Yuji, and the others were poked to death by Qingji and Yang Zaixing, so this breakthrough battle only lasted for a quarter of an hour before it ended.
The vast majority of the 30,000 sect members surrendered, and only more than 1,000 were killed, and the sect leader Li Huolian and his wife were captured alive on the battlefield by Xu Shiji, while only three Mongolian elite cavalry were slightly injured.
30,000 captives, after careful screening, the fugitives who hid the heinous crimes were taken out and transferred to the prison, and the others were punished by Xu Shijie on the spot: farming for Yiwangfu, paying one percent of the rent, paying two percent of the tax, and keeping the rest for himself.
There is no way, although the land is nominally leased to the soldiers, but the soldiers are all war machines without families, and there is no way to farm the land, so this land has to find a way for other people to plant.
The Tiger Talisman bought from the book mall is not a person in the real sense. They were not visible when they were alive, but when they were dead, they quickly vanished, leaving no trace.
Not a single of the 30,000 prisoners in re-education through labor was willing to escape, and not only did none of them want to escape, but most of them cheered in public at the scene, thanking the Yiwang Mansion for giving them a bite to eat.
After Xu Shiji told them to report to Yiwang's Mansion, he took people back to the barracks.
What he didn't expect was that Gong Qianbai's policy of 30% land rent not only made 30,000 labor prisoners scramble to plant the land in the Yiwang Mansion, but there were even more than 100,000 people crying and queuing up to be traitors of the Fire Lotus Sect, and the whole family was a rebel of the Fire Lotus Sect, begging for punishment from the Yiwang Mansion......
Liu Bingzhong had no choice, so he added another 20,000 places, and the rest refused to accept it anyway, which made the people who were not selected cry bitterly.
Fortunately, Gong Qianbai soon came up with a policy: starting from the Ming Dynasty, all the ownerless land on Yidu Road will be rented to all people who have no land at the price of 20% and a half of land rent, and the land rented by each person shall not exceed five acres, and the offenders will be arrested and thrown into prison and thrown into the mining area for five years. This finally made those homeless people burst into tears and laugh.
……
In the barracks prison, Li Huolian and Zhang Cailian were held in two separate rooms, unable to see or hear each other.
Li Huolian's heart is now like ashes, and the ambition of the Fire Lotus Sect to develop and expand and occupy the Yizhou Road is completely gone, and he doesn't even have the luxury of saving his life.
Now he is just worried about a son and a daughter in his hometown. Although there are six Arhats watching, two of the six Arhats are outlaws, two are dying old men, and two are their mediocre brothers, as long as the news of his defeat and capture comes back, the six Arhats will definitely fall apart, and it is really unknown whether one of his sons and one daughter can survive.
In the other room, the despair in Zhang Cailian's heart was even worse than Li Huolian's, it was a deep powerlessness that even Li Huolian couldn't understand
"The Mongols are too strong, if they can't destroy themselves, the Han people will never be able to turn over!"
This is her biggest realization so far.
Squeak –
The door of the prison rang, and Zhang Cailian looked up, it was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl; The young man's face was quiet, as if entering this prison was no different from entering a famous mountain and river; The girl was simply expressionless.
"You have finally appeared, Mongol Lord! It's a pity that I can't kill you now! ”
Zhang Cailian glanced at Gong Qianbai's outfit and immediately judged his identity.
Gong Qianbai spread his hands: "Kill me, will the Fire Lotus Sect be able to defeat the Mongols and restore the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Qiang...... Aunt! ”
Zhang Cailian was shocked and looked at the young man incredulously: "How do you know?" Who the hell are you? ”
Gong Qianbai smiled and took two steps closer: "I also know that you have a distant nephew named Zhao Yu, who was originally the owner of the Dragon Palace, but now he has become a lost dog, and he is worried about how to make a comeback...... What about you? As a descendant of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, can you be willing to die before you get out of school? ”
"What can you do if you are unwilling, you Mongols can't be beaten, can you kneel down and beg you to withdraw from the Han family's land?"
Zhang Cailian's face was expressionless, and her tone was flat, but her words were unceremoniously.
"In that case, I'm not going to beat around the bush! I give you two choices, one is Li Huolian - oh, no, it's Li Qingbiao, let Li Qingbiao leave, and you and your son and daughter stay in Yiwangfu as hostages; The other is that your whole family will take refuge in me, let one of your sons and one daughter follow me for a few years, and then set you free! Pick it! ”
Gong Qianbai finished and looked at Zhang Cailian meaningfully.
Zhang Cailian hesitated, these two choices don't seem to be very different, but in fact, there is another mystery.
The first option is to keep her husband at the mercy of the Yiwang Mansion, which is likely to make him do some dirty things, while she and her children will be imprisoned, and it is unknown whether they will survive in the future.
The second choice is that this Mongolian prince wants to start with his own children and assimilate their family of four, which seems to be in a better situation, but in fact controls them from the heart.
But it is undeniable that their family of four can finally have a way to live, although they don't understand what the Mongolian prince in front of them is for.
Seeing that Zhang Cailian didn't say anything, Gong Qianbai told her another piece of news: "Li Qingbiao's choice is: If you two die, your son can also die, as long as you let your daughter go!" I promised him......"
"No!" Zhang Cailian's face changed greatly, "Please let go of my son, he is very good, very kind, and has not hurt anyone, please let him go......"
Gong Qianbai stared at her thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you not want your son to die, or do you not want to die yourself?" Or is it ...... You can't die? ”
Zhang Cailian's face turned pale, bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "If we all die, only my daughter is left, she will not live long!" They will not hesitate to turn her into a tool of revenge, I don't want to ......"
"The two choices I gave you didn't want you to die, so why didn't you choose?"
Zhang Cailian smiled bitterly: "Surrender to the Mongols, impossible!" ”
"Excellent! Both of you have passed the test, and you're free! Gong Qianbai nodded and said, "However, you have to promise me that you will remain incognito and not gather people to revolt again, can you do it?" ”
Zhang Cailian's face was full of consternation: "Why? You ......"
"I am a Han Chinese, and I am pretending to be the prince of Mongolia. When I exterminate your Fire Lotus Sect, I will simply watch your eighteen Arhats kill people indiscriminately! ”
