Chapter 224: If you want them to tremble and tremble, the only way is to kill! Kill! Kill!

After Zhao Tianyou came back from Wudieling, he had been preparing for the opening of the lecture hall, and he didn't pay much attention to the battle of Humen Town, but he knew that he had won. The lineup of forty main gunboats of the South China Sea Fleet was dispatched, and if they could not defeat the Yuan soldiers who were preparing for a sneak attack, Du Hu and Ling Zhen could go directly to death, and it would be a waste of food to live.

The South China Sea Fleet's anti-sneak attack battle was commanded by Du Hu, and after the battle, he did not stay too long, and went directly back to Hong Kong Island to patrol, Du Hu did not set foot in Humen Town and Village at all, and naturally he would not know that there were 5,000 slaughtered corpses in the town.

Ling Zhen saw the tragic situation in Humen Town with his own eyes, and his heart was filled with righteous indignation, but he also controlled the impulse to kill the prisoners at the moment, and escorted them to Guangzhou City, where he prepared to be executed and beheaded at the city gate to pay tribute to the souls of the soldiers who died in the war.

However, it was opposed by Zhang Zhensun and other officials, because these prisoners were not Yuan people, but Han troops who surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and they fought with the army because the coercion of the Yuan army was not intended to kill the people of Humen Town.

And slaughtering his own clansmen to commemorate the soul of the heroes doesn't make sense or reason, this is why Wen Tianxiang also faintly objected, which made Ling Zhen feel very angry, so he specially came to Zhao Tianyou to complain about his grievances.

"Why don't you kill them on the spot? And a few more days of our hard-earned food, you know what's wrong? Having a ritual beheading execution at the city gate doesn't it make your face long? General Ling? Zhao Tianyou's heart was nameless, and the tone of his voice became stern, and a few questions immediately made Ling Zhen lower his head.

"General Zhao, I, I, I was wrong, I do have the idea of coveting fame in my heart, and I feel that I will have some face by beheading these prisoners of war in front of those civilian officials."

Zhao Tianyou suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "It's not wrong to want to have a long face, it's even more wrong to want to pay tribute to the souls of the dead warriors, the mistake is that these people shouldn't be allowed to live for a few more days, and they waste our food, do you know my opinion?" ”

"Hehe, I know General Zhao, I should execute these people before the corpses of the people in Humen Town, so that the people who haven't closed their eyes can leave with peace of mind!" Ling Zhen, who was bored, looked at Zhao Tianyou with a smirk.

"Okay, I'll do this, and I must give an account to the dead people! Lead the way, and I'll go to the adults to reason. ”

"Okay, General Zhao!"

From the beginning of dealing with pirates in Mengjia Fishing Village, Zhao Tianyou has taken extreme measures, I don't care if you have your intentions or not, anyway, when you come to kill me, it is already doomed, I have to kill you to live, why should I be cruel to myself?

Humane preferential treatment of prisoners of war, looking for suitable opportunities to exchange prisoners of war with the other side, so that they can be treated fairly, is a convention that can only be observed by each other when social civilization has evolved to a certain extent.

But according to Zhao You's understanding of the war, not to mention the various sensational massacres of prisoners during World War II, even in the recent wars led by the United States, which prisoner of war was treated fairly? The so-called humanitarianism is nothing more than the weak trying to fight for their own rights and interests, just as the strong pray for equal dialogue, and will never win the respect of the strong.

Only if you are powerful enough to deter him will someone try to sit down and talk to you about what humanitarianism is, what self-esteem and equal dialogue are. And now there will be no morality between the Meng Yuan and the Song Dynasty at all, the only thing that exists is desire and killing, and it is only dominated by the Yuan army, and the Song Dynasty has no right to speak at all.

In the entire history of the war of invasion of the Song Dynasty, there are credible figures recorded that nearly 60 million people in the Song Dynasty were slaughtered before and after the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and as many as eighty percent of the population registered in the household registration was removed. But why did the civil officials in Guangzhou object to Ling Zhen's killing of the prisoners? Zhao Tianyou didn't understand it very much, so he was angry all the way and went to Zhang Zhensun with Ling Zhen to theorize.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Ling proposed to kill the captives of the Yuan army to pay tribute to the dead soldiers and the souls of the people in the sky, I don't know why you are opposing?"

Zhao Tianyou was not polite and turned around at all, and directly raised the question in the hall, hoping that Zhang Zhensun in the hall and the civil officials below would show a relaxed attitude and give a step down to the end.

"Hey, General Zhao is here, that's the case, I'll explain it to General Zhao!" : Zhang Zhensun saw that Zhao Tianyou's tone was not good, and hurriedly sat up from behind the table, and walked to Zhao Tianyou's side in a few steps.

"General Zhao, after the trial, those prisoners of war are all Song people, some are surrendered troops and some are desperate people, and the murderers in Humen Town are not them. It would be unjust to execute them all now, and besides, my Great Song Dynasty, whether it is war or state affairs, has always been a state of etiquette......"

Zhao Tianyou said: "I don't care who they are, I just know that they are soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, riding war horses with swords and guns, stepping on other people's land, what are they not robbers?" Do you know why the officers and soldiers are losing and retreating, why so many Song people joined the Yuan soldiers, turned their swords and guns at their compatriots, and inherited thousands of years, you only learned the state of etiquette? ”

Zhang Zhensun didn't know how to answer Zhao Tianyou for a while, and more than a dozen civil officials who were doing it looked at each other, and no one dared to come up and talk.

"I just want to kill them, no matter what reason he joins the Yuan soldiers, just because they see their own people, the people of Humen Town die tragically in front of their eyes, they are no longer qualified to call themselves Han Chinese.

Maybe you will think that I have gone too far, but I don't care what you think, because I will do more things in the future, and I suggest that you do not give any more opinions at that time! All the soldiers of the Yuan Army who had been to Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, and Humen Town, and even all of Dong Wenbing's subordinates, did not leave any living mouth, and let the soldiers dispose of them at will. ”

"There are also ...... who have been to Changzhou"

After listening to Zhao Tianyou's words, Wen Tianxiang felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the policies of the Song Dynasty were too soft in the past, which made the invaders even more domineering. In the previous wars, the captured prisoners of the Yuan army had to be well guarded, fed with good food and drink, so that they could be sent back the next time they ceded land and sued for peace, so as to please the generals of the Yuan army.

But every cowardly performance made the Yuan Dynasty even more arrogant, took the silver you ceded, turned around and went to buy swords, re-armed and continued to fight you, and continued to cede land to you for money.

"Master Wen, do you think what I said is right? The only way to deal with an invading robber is for you to be more ruthless, vicious and stronger than him, to make him tremble and tremble at what he has done. ”

There were several generals in the hall who stood up and clapped the saber on their waists, and shouted the trumpet in their mouths.

"Kill, kill the invading bandits, kill the light soldiers, kill, kill, kill!"
