The intelligence officer asked, "Which unit are you from?" What tasks are performed here? ”

The second lieutenant said: "Report to the commander, I am Wei Yin, the second lieutenant commander of the second company of the third battalion of the 1579th Regiment of the 14th mixed brigade of Jinyi. By order No. 14 of the High Command, the policy of appeasement in the rear was carried out. These people are all potentially suspicious. In accordance with the directives of the appeasement policy, capital punishment was imposed in a state of emergency. ”

Huang Taiji looked at the women who fell under the soldiers' knives, and a trace of compassion suddenly rose in his heart: "What does this emergency mean?" ”

"Report sir, I don't know what it means, my superiors said, see the Uighurs, kill! See the Turks, kill! No mercy! Regardless of men and women, old and weak, regardless of rank, regardless of identity, all will be killed! ”

Huang Taiji was taken aback by this bloodthirsty and ruthless chief, and the wine seemed to be half awake. And those staff officers seemed to wake up even faster than him: "Whose order is this?" Who gave this order? ”

The second lieutenant said with a straight look: "It's our regiment commander." He ordered that the regiment's defense zone should be treated as a war zone, that all Uighur and Turkic elements should be treated as hostile elements, and that resolute measures should be taken to prevent an insurrection. ”

"Are these women also considered hostile?"

"Yes, sir, that's what we were told." Second Lieutenant Jinyiwei said very seriously. The staff officers looked at the women who were executed by the soldiers one by one, and could only shake their heads helplessly and move on.

The Jinyi Guard and the regular kingdom army are not the same system, and the two do not belong to each other. And if Jin Yiwei wants to do something and arrest someone, it's better to ask less and care less.

On the way back to the city, Huang Taiji saw small groups of brocade guards rushing into shops and residences, dragging men out and shooting them directly in the streets, and women were also executed with knives - leaving only some young women and children, where they went, Huang Taiji felt as if a dark cloud was pressing down on his heart.

This also happened in many cities of the Bactrian kingdom, such as the capital, Tianzhongcheng, where the Uighur population was almost all urgently executed, and one unconfirmed report reported that the Jinyiwei had requisitioned several medical schools to drain the blood of hundreds of healthy Uighurs and make them into specimens.

In the nearby province of Tochar, the provincial governor also issued an executive order requiring the Uighurs to leave the city immediately and not to carry personal belongings. As they left, they were taken on a train outside the city by heavily armed Jinyi Guard soldiers, and some insiders said they were sent to a place known as the "412 Research Institute", the contents of which have not yet been declassified.

In the eastern provinces of Anxi and Beiting, where the Uighur population was concentrated and historically cut off from their distant western relatives, the local governor did not give the foolish order to shoot the Uighurs. However, in these provinces, the Uighurs in the Yamen have come up with a number of constructive proposals to show their devotion to the kingdom: for example, to encourage their neighbors to report meritorious deeds and reward those who secretly believe in the Celestial Sect.

For the dishonest Turks, they put green strips of cloth on their doors, let their children wear green hats, forbade them to work as doctors, clerks, etc., and did not allow them to become staff members of the yamen, and issued them with certificates of good citizenship, and they had to carry them with them when they left their neighborhoods for inspection.

Soon, this set of measures was rolled out across the country.

The Ministry of Nattria sent an order to a factory in Chang'an Province in the Great Song Empire: it was hoped that they would be able to provide several different colors of household registration cards, using plain white for the Han Chinese, yellow for the Uighurs, green for the Turks, purple for the Cypriots, and blue for the Persians...... At the same time, the administrative organs of Xia also cooperated with the action of "clearing up the traitors" and changed the house numbers of almost all residents, so that people could see from a distance what ethnic group and what ingredients lived in the house.

While the army was fighting the rebels on the front lines, the brocade guards were also dutifully investigating possible dangerous elements in the city. Both the Uighur and Turkic inhabitants were urgently resettled, and they lost everything overnight – economic life, social status, reputation, and even a certain degree of personal freedom.

The indiscriminate rape of the Brocade Guards lasted about ten days, and about 20,000 residents of the kingdom were urgently executed without trial, not on any charge, except that the Brocade Guard's officers suspected that they might be potential lurkers.

There is no doubt that this behavior was tacitly approved by the military department and even the king of Xia. After the rebels' policy of slaughtering the city frightened some of the peaceful residents, the imperial court must adopt a certain iron-blooded policy to boost morale, and even simply say, to stop killing by killing, clearly telling the rebels that the kingdom has more efficient slaughter weapons, and their stupid policy can only attract the kingdom's revenge policy of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

But such a massacre must not be infinitely extended, otherwise it will cause panic among the inhabitants. Thus, after "appropriately" reducing the number of potential enemies, the Jinyiwei made some minor adjustments to their policy, pulling train after train of Uighurs and Turks who had been reported by their neighbors, exposed by their subordinates, and complained by their neighbors, to the lofty mountains of Tochar.

There, Uighur coolies built mysterious structures with high walls and patrolling guards, and anyone dressed in drudger clothing who tried to get close to the walls would be killed without warning.

Within the walls, imprisoned Uighurs and Turks worked in shackles on assembly lines—munitions factories that had to produce quantities of bullets, uniforms, bedding, grenades, and so on. If any of the assembly lines does not complete the predetermined quota, then the lighter will be starved and corporal punishment, and the general example will be to kill the chickens and monkeys and shoot one or two saboteurs.

In addition to the centralized factory, Jinyiwei also secretly selected some young and beautiful women from these people who were taken away, registered them numbered, and formed the infamous "Paradise in the Army" in later generations, providing physical and mental services for the soldiers who were fighting the rebellion on the front line - the so-called infamous is only the feeling of the good young hairs hundreds of years later, at that time, this matter was done very openly, and no one said no.

In addition, according to some special needs, Jinyiwei also got some rebel children from different places - in fact, whether they are rebels or not, all the family members of Jinyiwei are in Jinyiwei's words - and sent them to some special places according to some special needs. For example, in some snowy temples that believe in Tantra, Tantric monks often complain that there is not enough blood and skulls used as sacrifices to satisfy the gods, but this time they are well supplied, and in return, several Tantric masters put aside their views and organize a grand puja, mobilizing their followers to take up swords and spears to fight for the Xia King and kill the infidels!

Huang Taiji observed all this coldly in the Northern Command, and wrote down his feelings in his notebook. He is also thinking about what kind of people this is, those glorious buildings, exquisite Buddha statues undoubtedly show that they have a deep cultural attainment, advanced trains and guns armed the Xia army, they have the world's best surgical technology, astronomical attainments are also very profound, this is an ancient civilization with a long history, but at the same time, it can not change the bloodthirsty habits of barbarians. Huang Taiji had just been shocked to learn that the Xia king, in order to prove his selflessness, had ordered the execution of all the Uighur and Turkic concubines and their children in his harem – not a single one was left behind.

Tiger poison does not eat children, but Huang Taiji found that the bloodshed in the Xia royal family seems to far exceed that of any Central Plains dynasty, and even the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qianren during the Wuhu Rebellion are difficult to match.

"This is a cruel and terrifying nation, and how this peculiar national character was formed is really a question worth studying. It's just a pity that I'm just an officer, not a university professor......"
