Section 298 Cold Wind 2
Although spies and telegrams contacted and confirmed in time, the poisonous gas filled the neighborhood, and it was impossible to go deep into it for a while to see how destroyed Li Qianshun's gang was.
Zhao Yue estimated that it was almost over, so he ordered the shelling to stop.
Now it's the turn of the fake Li Qianshun to perform.
In the sound of the nobles and lords of the Xia Kingdom who went out of the city fighting their teeth in the cold wind, the king of substitutes shouted at the electric horn held by the pirate soldiers into the city: "Listen to the people in the city, the lord of the country Li Qianshun used me as a substitute to pretend to surrender." He hid in the elite army of Ximen, trying to escape with the backbone nobles and bureaucrats under the elite escort of the Iron Harrier. The soldiers and civilians in front of the west gate and the armaments of the other city gates were all substitutes for the dead ghosts, all of whom were planned by the lord Li Qianshun and the nobles and lords to open the way for them to escape and charge into battle and distract the attention of the pirate army, and they were all abandoned victims. And the people of the city, you are all outcasts who serve as substitutes for the dead...... Li Qianshun doesn't care that if their gang escapes, they will completely anger the pirates and take revenge on you for massacre. If you are attacked, causing a lot of casualties and suffering, don't complain about the viciousness of the pirates. It was Li Qianshun, these wolf-hearted and noble lords, who played tricks and tricks, forcing the pirate army to make up their minds to use vicious methods. It was Li Qianshun who killed and harmed everyone. “
"Now I know that the pirate army of the pirate nation is truly merciful. They are here to overthrow the greedy, stupid, and tyrannical rule of Li Qianshun and others, and to rescue all of us and go overseas to live a warm, peaceful, peaceful, prosperous, and good life, but Li Qianshun and these people are reluctant to enjoy their own glory, wealth, and pleasure, and they are determined to fight to the end, which ruins everyone's future and benefits......"
The whip rained down on the bare boards of these nobles or bureaucrats outside the city, making these formerly arrogant, confident and proud fellows scream like pigs......
The frightened people and all kinds of armed men in the city were still sworn to resist under the bewitchment of the ruler, but they were frightened by the shelling and poisonous gas, and learned some secret things in the shouts and propaganda of the false king, saw the vicious and shameless intentions of the lords and nobles, and heard the pirates giving themselves hope for a way out in their disappointment and anger.
At this point, being able to survive is the first thing, and the other national feelings, loyalty to the Xia Kingdom, etc., are all secondary or even undesirable things, and the people in the city listened to the infiltrating screams of the nobles and lords outside the city, and after spying on the fierce toughness of the pirates against those who dared to deceive them and dare to fight them, in the fear and little hope for the invincible pirates against the ruler, and in the propaganda and demagogy of the substitute king, they found the ruler who wanted to kill the people of the city to settle accounts. The spontaneous pursuit of the civilians and some of the armies who were clamoring to resist the pirates suddenly began, and as more and more people participated, the momentum became so bold that more troops followed......
The human heart is providential, and it is fully certified here.
Before the pirate army entered the city, Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xia Kingdom for nearly a hundred years, collapsed and destroyed itself, and the city was automatically destroyed.
According to the strict orders of the pirates, from the private soldiers of the nobles and bureaucrats who went out of the city to disarm and engage in war horses, the first batch of surrenders, to the remnants of the palace guards, to the remnants of the iron harrier auxiliaries, to the remnants of the iron harriers, to the army in the city, and finally to the militia, after the weapons were confiscated, tens of thousands of people recruited from elsewhere were let go and left freely to go home to prepare to migrate.
The pirates ordered the private soldiers to kill the old men who had been beaten badly, and deliberately asked the private soldiers to kill the old master who was originally loyal.
This is a certificate of surrender, and it is also a test of the sincerity of surrender.
Anyone who hesitated to intercede with these noble lords and could not do anything was immediately killed by pirates.
Subsequently, the poisonous gas in the city had already dissipated in the cold wind, and the pirate army entered the city, and forced those private soldiers to capture and raid the homes of familiar noble masters, and ordered the palace guards and the few remaining iron harriers to go to the palace to arrest and raid, and ordered the iron harrier auxiliaries to raid the house of the iron harrier, and the surrendered army was responsible for raiding the other houses in the city....... Those who show hesitation or do something wrong will be immediately punished.
The wealth accumulated in the Xia capital city for nearly a hundred years was confiscated...... Personnel were mobilized, mobilized and organized.
Zhao Yue left 20,000 horses to guard and supervise the relocation, and he led the rest of the army, armed with the remaining private soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, iron harriers and auxiliary soldiers, palace guards and the Xia army of Xingqing Mansion as infantry armed, and used the guns and knives with the blades removed as weapons to carry out the clearing and raiding of the villages and tribes around Xingqing Mansion......
The various units of the Western Army that entered the Xia Kingdom gained momentum and satisfaction this time.
The 200-li Hengshan Mountain at the western end of the Song Dynasty was also a natural barrier for the Song Dynasty to enter the Western Xia, or the Western Xia Dynasty to enter the Song Dynasty. With extremely complicated feelings, the Western Army quickly turned over this mountain that did not know how much blood, tears and humiliation left behind the soldiers and civilians of the Western Army, and fiercely pounced into all parts of the Xia Kingdom under the supervision of the pirate army.
Xiping Mansion in the southeast of Xingqing City, the current head of the local old family, and also the famous general of the Xia State, Wei Mingrongke, gathered 50,000 people to guard this place, in a vain attempt to rely on the cement built cheaply from the Song State to build a tall and strong city to block the Western army's brazen attack, but under the bombardment of the pirate army, the city was broken in a blink of an eye and defeated.
The tens of thousands of people on Youzhou Road in Zuoxiang, which was used by the Xia State to specifically defend against the Song army, and tens of thousands of people on Yanzhou Road in Henan Province also twisted the city, but they also responded to the ruins of the city......
In the past, the Xia Cheng Defense Fortress, which had killed countless people in the Western Army, could not gnaw a little bit with the strength of milk, became an easy task in front of the pirate army. This time, the rapid attack success of the arrogant and arrogant Xia people honestly and hurriedly surrendered succeeded in shocking the Western Army participating in the battle, and they became more and more convinced and fearful of the combat effectiveness of the pirate army, and of course they were more full of good hopes for a new life, and they became more and more energetic to work.
The armies equipped on the left and right sides of the Xia State and the four lines of Henan and North Henan were destroyed or surrendered, and the ambitious general Li Yili was killed in battle.
The Xia army of 70,000 anti-Liao troops on Anbei Road in Hebei Province was also defeated, and then brought his family to surrender honestly to join the migration, and the general Yu Zangma was beheaded in the chaotic army. This guy keenly felt that the limelight was wrong, and at that time he was closely listening to the news of Xingqing Mansion and the Liao State, and was preparing to take people to flee to the north, and then seek to establish himself as the king or take refuge in the Liao State, and continue to support the army and become rich with the power in his hands.
The 50,000 Xia troops stationed in Helan Mountain in the northwest have disappeared as soon as the Chage army was destroyed by Zhao Yue.
At this point, the Western Army, plus, Commander Du in the West, Xiao Jiasui in the southeast, and Zhao Yue in the middle. The 50,000 rear army arranged by Zhao Yue in the north, everyone worked together, the Xia army and the people were useless in any high-strength mountain warfare cavalry battle, and the pirate coalition army was quickly pushed to all parts of the Xia country, and quickly defeated all the Xia forces that dared to block it all the way, Xia, You, Yin, Hui, Sui, Jing, Ling, Yan, Sheng, Wei, Ding, Yonghegan, Liang, Gua, Sha, Su and other states fell one after another, and the avalanche of Xia was really defeated.
Destroyed the Xia country, kidnapped or killed all his family, lost the country and relatives, the soldiers and warriors of the Xia army had no home to defend, and what could they do if they could fight.
With the assistance of pirates, the soldiers of the Western Army bravely defeated the Xia army that fell into the chaos of the army again and again, and the shame of the four major battles of the Snow Song Kingdom, such as the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, the Battle of Linfufeng, and the Battle of Dingchuanzhai, finally dissipated the haze that could not be erased in the hearts of generations of Northwest people.
The Qiang (Dangxiang), Han, Fan, Huique, Tata (Mongolian), Khitan and other ethnic groups living in the northwest were all forced to move to the western military defense area in the east by the increasingly strong cold winds, and then poured southeast down to the Yangtze River in Sichuan...... At this time, the Tibetans who surrendered first had already been transported away.
Such a large-scale and rapid migration is bound to be accompanied by catastrophe.
Women and children are a group of pirates who deliberately take care of and help, there are ox carts, horse carts, sheep carts to sit, nomads, and robber countries that plunder everywhere, Xia naturally has no shortage of cattle and horses, and pirates also let out a lot of war horses of not good quality to help the migrants set up carts to help migrate, so women and children will naturally not bear the disaster of rapid marching and migration. But the men don't have this treatment, and the nobles and lowly all walk with the car, drive the cart and pull the cart, feed and drive the livestock...... There is a lot of work to do, and under the long-distance fatigue, the old, weak, sick and disabled will naturally be unable to hold on, and they will fall down one after another......
It's a brutal process of elimination. The pirate army intended to do the same.
The empire does not want aliens to be dragged down into a burden on the country, it is not so soft-hearted and merciful, and it does not show any greatness and nobility at this moment, and it is tired or even self-sacrificing to influence aliens.
Conquest is a political and military act, it is not a matter of probation, but something that the vanquished have to obey honestly under the butcher's knife.
As a conqueror, it is useless for you to show the warmth and enthusiasm of Lei Feng to the vanquished person, he should hate you and hate you as much, and will see that you use false benevolence, false righteousness, noble benevolence and benevolence to buy people's hearts without talking wantonly with a butcher's knife, but the courage to resist and even deliberately retaliate has become bigger, and the danger and trouble have become bigger.
Since it is an act of war and plundering and bloodshed, since it is an aggressor with bloody hands, then we should not play the role of a benevolent God, and do not mix the elements of kindness and mercy with the effective deterrence and coercion formed by ferociousness and toughness. It is still fierce, tough, indifferent, and ruthless, ignoring the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and immediately butchering and beating the dishonest with a knife.
Historically, the Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty, captive 100,000 laborers and craftsmen and so on to the north as slaves, on the way as ferocious as wild beasts, all kinds of abuse and torture, and died a lot of prisoners, but there was really no dare to resist, and very few dared to escape, in the bloody terror one by one frightened trembling, honestly let fate naturally determine life and death.
That's human nature.
This is the natural obedience and obedience that man naturally shows to the strong under the pressure of power and the danger of death.
If, on the contrary, Jin Jun embodies the warmth and thoughtfulness of the various virgin angels to the captives, then the fun will be great.
There are few Jin soldiers, even fewer Jin soldiers participate in the escort, such a weak force dares to play benevolence, the captives are well fed, warmly dressed, sleep well, and have full physical strength and spirit, and in the face of the "enemy" who is not ferocious, there are those who are afraid of death and dare not resist, but how can there not be a large number of people waiting for the opportunity to escape? Jin Jun is merciful and humane, but how can he complete the escort?
The principle of conquest is the same, they are all bullying the weak with the strong, and bullying the benevolent; The main means to be employed must also be the same. Otherwise, you will only fail and bring shame upon yourself.
What can really influence these aliens is in the beautiful new life of the empire in the future.
Only when you feel that life in the empire is really good, and you feel that you have been taken captive by pirates and done the right thing, and you are blessed, then can you effectively integrate the different races.
The previous two large-scale defections and migrations of the Han people in the Song Kingdom also naturally occurred this kind of cruel elimination, which is not the best of both worlds, the Song State does not have so many cattle and horses to use to relocate, and the pirates can only use the river ships to support and respond as much as possible, but there are too many places that can not be taken care of can only be allowed to occur naturally by cruel elimination. Fortunately, the old, weak, sick and disabled either struggled to follow the migration and would rather fall on the road to a happy defection, or they couldn't hold on, and they didn't want to be so tired or even die, and they were nostalgic for their homeland, so they could choose to let their relatives go overseas to enjoy happiness, and they stayed behind to continue to be Song Min. Anyway, this physical condition can't survive for a few years, so I won't leave, and it's better to die in my hometown.
On the other hand, the pirate empire can only harden its heart towards its own nation, so how can the pirate army have ridiculously too much human love and care for these barbaric and ignorant wolf aliens who have been stained with the blood of the Han nation in the massacre and looting for generations?
What should be eliminated naturally will be eliminated.
This is also the disguised punishment and repayment of too many sins created by these barbarians against the Han nation.
Without paying enough with his life, without undergoing a cruel test, he could get the good life of the empire, what is so cheap in the world? It doesn't make sense. Moreover, how can these aliens cherish the hard-won good life when they get it easily and comfortably? How can you know how to be grateful in return?
We must not be accustomed to being of different races, let alone make them feel that they are a privileged group, and we must not let these people have the impression that the government should be extra kind and tolerant to them.
You are the vanquished, the ignorant and backward group, the inferior citizens of the empire, and you can only be loyal to the empire and work harder and contribute more to the empire than the Han people.
At least Zhao Yue has this kind of indifferent and tough mentality.
And these aliens, whether they are party members or Tibetan barbarians, do not have strong resentment and grievances against the pirates' fierce and indifferent to them, but feel that they should be. That's how the strong should be.
The angelic style is abnormal, it will make them suspect that the pirates are coaxing themselves, and they are afraid that after they are easily and smoothly abducted overseas, the pirates will immediately show their devilish faces, open mines, dig rivers........ All kinds of dangers and tired people will be added to their bodies, and after the exhaustion and torture are finished, they will be restless and want to resist.
With this mentality and understanding, this is when they invaded the Han people or other groups in the past, they used inhumane brutal massacres and abuses against the captive population. Only ferociousness can effectively fear the captives and honestly follow their lives. They don't treat their captives as human beings at all. There is no such concept of human rights, human dignity, leniency of prisoners, national equality and so on. What mercy does the wolf say to the sheep? There's no need for that. It is natural for wolves to eat sheep, where does equality come from? And so on.
Compared to their beastly behavior and attitudes, the pirates are already very benevolent and forgiving.
Taking care of women and children, this matter has already moved the barbarians.
As for the old, weak, sick and disabled relatives who fell, the barbarians did not have much intense grief and pain.
It's normal for the wolf to die, unable to keep up with the team's migration.
Therefore, in the eyes of Song Confucian scholars or scholars who were keen to show the nobility of gentlemen, the behavior of pirates was a barbaric and ferocious beastly act, and they would spit and impassionedly criticize them, but the barbarians themselves who endured all this did not have this awareness. However, the Han people under the Confucian regime, especially the rulers, always insisted on wishful thinking and benevolence to the alien race, showed all kinds of tolerance, generosity and even considerate indulgence, and expressed a good understanding of the various criminal acts and barbaric and cruel sins of the alien race, but imposed all kinds of harsh criticisms on the cruel exploitation and abuse of the people of the same race. I really don't know what to say. A very strange behavior of the ruler mentality. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is obsolete and cruel, and it pits the country and the nation, right?
