Chapter 104: Killing Prisoners and Building Jingguan
Lin Xiao ordered the more than ten captives to be isolated and interrogated one by one, and carefully interrogated whether the massacre of Longdun Village was true. As expected, those scum admitted all except for some details, and put the blame on the dead Li Chengrong in unison......
Lin Xiao's face was pale, his eyes coldly glanced at these clowns, and before he could speak, suddenly, a large number of people knelt down in the team, crying and wailing to the sky and the ground......
It turned out that most of these homeless people were the only ones in their families who escaped, and their relatives were either slaughtered or disappeared, and many people's homes were burned to the ground by the Qing soldiers.
In the face of these people who lost control of their emotions and wept endlessly, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be moved, more than 2,000 people in front of him were homeless, and everyone's experience was a tragic story.
"Folks, get up...... Get up ......"
With tears in his eyes, Lin Xiao leaned over and said in a loud voice.
A tough guy with iron bones, just now he was working for the righteous army, but now he is crying and paralyzed on the ground and crying, grief is like a flood that has opened the floodgates, surging out, and can no longer be stopped, if it is not for the great grievances, how can it be so gaffe?
Lin Xiao even persuaded several times to no avail, and none of the people could stand up, but persuaded and persuaded even himself to cry silently...... These hard-working people are all his compatriots and predecessors!
Finally, Lin Xiao made a decision.
He wiped away his tears, ordered all the captives to be brought over, and let them expose each other one by one, and finally identified more than 5,000 people who had committed the crime of burning and killing rape, more than 20% of the total number of captives!
Lin Xiao was furious and brazenly ordered to kill all the five thousand scum whose hands were stained with the blood of hundreds of people! At the same time, he ordered the remaining 20,000 captives to line up on the edge of the Yongjiang River to watch and accompany the beheading!
He wanted the captives to see for themselves what kind of retribution would be given to those who abused the people!
He wants these people to always remember what will happen to a scumbag who has no backbone and instead aids in abuse!
Lin Xiao hates traitors the most in his life, especially those scum who make traitors impressive, bully their compatriots more ruthlessly than their masters, and feel at ease, if these people are given the opportunity to reproduce, then hundreds of years later, how many more antisocial scum with distorted human nature will there be in this country?
Except for the battlefield, Lin Xiao has never killed so many people in his life, no! These are no longer people, they are devils!
After being silent for a long time, Lin Xiao finally hardened his heart, stared at his bloodshot eyes, gritted his teeth and ordered the execution!
These 5,000 scum, when they were about to go to the guillotine, were all paralyzed, and they were all carried by the execution soldiers, without exception. There is a good saying that only when their lives are threatened, such people will have a trace of remorse!
…… Finally, the water of the Yongjiang River changes color!
Lin Xiao didn't stop doing anything, and ordered to use the heads of these devils to build the Jingguan, and let those captives who watched the ceremony do it themselves.
When Qu Shiyun heard the news and hurriedly arrived, the Jingguan had already been built, and the honest Qu Pavilion was completely speechless when he saw this.
This, this, this is all free labor in the mine!
"Brother Shuangmu...... Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example! Kill the Prisoner...... Ominous! ”
The old man was so anxious that he didn't choose what to say, and Brother Shuangmu was called!
Killing prisoners will make it possible to meet such enemies again in the future, because they have no way to retreat and arouse a strong heart of resistance, in this era of cold weapons that kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves, it will greatly increase the difficulty of the road to victory, so all clever military strategists always emphasize attacking the heart first, which is the same as the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners implemented by Taizu more than 300 years later, and the establishment of a broad united front.
Even the half-civilized Manchu Dolgon knew that adopting Hong Chengchou's strategy of recruiting and surrendering rebellion, how could Qu Shiyun, the stalwart of the Southern Ming Dynasty, not know the pros and cons inside?
Therefore, Lin Xiao's reckless behavior made this stubborn old man angry and anxious!
However, in the face of Qu Ge's accusation, Lin Xiao not only had a shameless face, but held his head high and retorted eloquently:
"The Overseer's words are wrong!
Not to mention that such a thief's sin is unforgivable, even if I encounter such a desperate fight against me in the future, why should I be afraid? …… Not to mention that there are only hundreds of thousands of traitors recruited by Jiannu, even if there are millions of people, I, Lin Xiao, will also call it ashes! ”
Lin Xiao looked at the north with deep eyes, and his words were sonorous and loud!
When Qu Shiyun heard this, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but re-examine the young fellow in front of him.
"Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! Great! Great! ”
…… After staring at it for a long time, Qu Shiyun found that the back of the heroic young general in front of him had never been so tall, firm, and upright!
Lin Xiao saw that Qu Shiyun's expression was relaxed, but he never made a loss-making business, but he reverted to his old ways, and made a request that made Master Qu laugh, and even asked him to write an inscription for his own handwriting, and he wanted to remember it!
In fact, he already has a manuscript of the inscription, but he can't write it well, so even if he is scolded, he has to ask for it!
Lin Xiao is not afraid that his murderous reputation will spread far and wide, but he hopes that his murderous reputation can forever deter those filthy souls......
"Heaven is good, and God has a reason to stretch it; The heart is filial, and the husband will take revenge! …… Jingguan is based on, there are four people who make trouble, cut it! Le Shi testified that there are those who abuse the people, destroy them! …… Today, there is Daming Qinchuan Hou Lin Xiao, more than 5,000 from the first level, and the Beijing view is specially built here, and all parties are warned! …… Don't be unpredictable! ”
In the end, Qu Shiyun responded helplessly with a bitter face, the matter has come to this, what else can I do?
When all the prisoners returned to the camp, they were left with a puddle of water stains on the ground, and they were stinking......
Xiao Wang Dong got revenge and strongly asked to join the army, Lin Xiao saw that he was lonely and helpless, and he was quite good at a young age, so he handed him over to Yu Cheng to teach carefully, let him practice his body first, grow some muscles, and then maybe he can become an excellent sharpshooter in the future.
……
Two days later, it was the day of the Yongli Emperor's military parade.
Lin Xiao, who got up early in the morning, trained alone for a while, and taught Wang Dong a simple set of military physical boxing with great interest, and then quietly watched the soldiers perform morning exercises.
After breakfast, Lin Xiao took Ding Shuai and He Shouxin to check the gun emplacements, targets and other drill equipment again, and ordered He Shouxin to send guards to do a good job of safety and security around the gate and school field, and then returned to the barracks and quietly waited for the arrival of the imperial driver.
Zheng Guo on the other side of the school field also lined up early, and the size of the team of nearly 2,000 people was not small, which looked much stronger than Lin Xiao's more than 600 people, and the banners and armor were distinct, at least in terms of dress, they were much brighter.
Ding Shuai didn't care about this at all, and ordered the reference team to line up in the school field according to the company, and organized the Minfu team to sit far away from the west side of the field with the prisoners, as a spectator, he wanted to once again extinguish their inner desire to resist, so that they could spend the rest of their lives in honest labor, so as to redeem their crimes and cleanse their souls.
……
While waiting for the emperor to arrive, the soldiers of the righteous army in the school field were unwilling to be lonely, and one company after another invariably compared the military song, and the loud singing resounded in the sky, drifting far into the ears of Emperor Yongli and his party who had just left the city......
