Gao Shun returned to the county government and took a comfortable bath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
During dinner in the evening, Li Qiang quipped: "Haha, general, the county citizens have given you a nickname today." ”
"What's the nickname?"
"Iron-blooded military division, are you satisfied?"
"Haha, thank you for looking at me, this nickname is good, I like it; But tomorrow, I will continue to be iron-blooded, and I will carry out iron-blooded to the end, and I must be worthy of the nickname of iron-blooded military division, otherwise I will lose my reputation. "That being said, Gao Shun is suffering in his heart, is it because he has crossed him that he has become so cold-blooded? In his previous life, he had never even killed chickens; But think about it again, this is all forced by the environment, this world is the world of the jungle, if you don't kill the opponent, sooner or later you will be killed by the opponent, to survive in the troubled times, you can only keep killing, until you kill a peaceful and prosperous world, even if he is the enemy of the world, he has no hesitation, and he will never regret it.
Zhao Xiong said: "General, if you don't like Xianbei people, just kill them, why bother?" ”
Gao Shun said: "Killing them directly is cheap, you don't care about so much, let's think about how to ask His Majesty the Emperor for credit." ”
"I have already arranged for those county officials to write a chapter for the emperor, how can I write it."
In Gao Shun's mind, Xianbei and other foreign races were so barbaric that they came to the Han frontier many times a year to burn, kill and loot, and the Han people suffered greatly; Now the Xianbei captives are taken to the county people, they don't even dare to do it, such people are a waste of food, they deserve to be bullied, they don't deserve sympathy, this status quo must be changed, their blood nature must be aroused, otherwise the border county is in danger.
Li Qiang asked: "General, why do you have a completely different attitude towards Xianbei and towards the Xiongnu?" ”
Gao Shun explained: "This question is a good question, I guess a few of you have similar questions, today I will explain to you, the Huns were compressed by Xianbei to the area south of the Yellow River, and they were thugs who were captive by the Han court, so many years have passed, they have become accustomed to the life provided by the Han court, and have faded away from the murderous nature of the grassland peoples, most of the Huns do not want to return to the grassland, and they are so weak that they are not qualified to be our opponents, unless the external environment changes, and their murderous nature is re-aroused, Otherwise, they will be sheep in the future; Xianbei is different, they occupy the original territory of the Xiongnu, instead of the original Xiongnu's position, barbaric, inhumane, strong physique, vast territory, is a very strong opponent, I have to be cautious; So there is a difference in treatment between the two peoples. ”
"General, we generally understand."
"County Magistrate Zhao, order the county officials to bring the household registration of the county's personnel tomorrow and wait for the order at the west gate."
"Yes, General, I'll arrange it in a moment."
The next day, July 17, Gao Shun ordered his soldiers to escort 390 Huns to the west gate.
The people of the whole county came to the west gate early to wait, and no one wanted to be driven away from the county seat.
Gao Shun ordered the surviving 390 people to divide into 5 groups and fight again.
Gao Shun shouted to those Xianbei people: "Today is the last fight, the winner will join my army, and the loser will lose his qualifications, I hope you will do your best." ”
After eating 2 full meals in a row and resting for a night, the Xianbei people have recovered their physical strength, in order to survive, in order to win the final battle, today's fight is more exciting.
The fight took nearly 3 hours, a total of 195 winners, and they were re-tied.
Gao Shun asked people to check it, and still singled out the seriously injured Xianbei people, this time the fight was more intense, the number of seriously injured people reached 25, and there were 170 people who were lightly injured and intact.
"I don't want to be my slave." Gao Shun said to the 160 people.
No one is out of the ranks, they fight desperately, just hoping to live, even being a slave is better than dying, how can they quit now?
Gao Shun checked these people with the system map, and some people showed yellow, and some people still showed red, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately picked out the 10 people who showed red, and finally left 160 people.
"Do you know why I picked you out? I know you're not convinced, but I can see from your eyes, are you looking for revenge? ”
"No, we are willing to be slaves to adults." The 10 people who were selected were busy expressing their positions, but Gao Shun didn't want to leave these scourges.
Gao Shun continued: "No matter what you say, I won't imagine you, your performance just now made me dissatisfied, and you can't hide your eyes for people with ghosts, if you want to blame it, you shouldn't have such bad thoughts." ”
Seeing that he had lost his chance to live, the Xianbei people began to scold, "You are a demon, you must not die well." ”
"The tribesmen will avenge us, and you will be worse than us."
"You're a cold-blooded executioner."
"You will be punished, you will be punished by God."
"Haha, that's for later, but you're going to be punished now; Shut their mouths, I don't want to listen to this noise. ”
"Yes, Strategist." Immediately, pikemen stepped forward, tore a piece of linen from the Xianbei people's bodies, and shoved it into their mouths.
Gao Shun said to the 160 victors: "I want to congratulate you on becoming the final victors, from now on, you are my people, but the status is my slave, I hope that you will be on the battlefield in the future to achieve military exploits, as long as you obtain 10 heads, you will be released as slaves, enjoy the same treatment as my sergeants, the same salary every month, the same standard of promotion, are you willing?" ”
"Master, we do." These 160 people scrambled to answer, afraid that Gao Shun would change his mind if the answer was slow.
Gao Shun saw that these people were so knowledgeable, and immediately changed his name to the master, he was very pleased, and generally checked the attributes of the survivors, and the force value was above 55, which made him very satisfied, "You 160 people, divided into 16 squads, 10 people in each squad, are directly under my jurisdiction, and the food is the same as the current sergeant, but one person makes a mess or does not obey orders, and the whole squad is killed; If one of the squads makes a mess or doesn't obey orders, kill them all, and I hope you will always remember it. ”
"Yes, master." The Xianbei slaves shouted.
"Okay, now you guys watch me clean up the others; Tomorrow I will go to see you and give you a detachment and appoint a squad leader. ”
"Yes, master."
There are still 330 Xianbei people left, and these people have been sentenced to death by Gao Shun.
Gao Shun ordered, first singled out 80 Xianbei people, the weakest or seriously injured 70 and the 10 abusers, divided into 4 groups, and knelt in turn.
Then he ordered four county officials, each responsible for the household registration of a township, and when they read the names of the people, as long as they dared to cut a knife on the Xianbei people, they would make a mark on their household registration.
Finally, Gao Shun said to the county people: "After a while, I will ask people to call names, and the people who call their names will move forward in turn, and each person will cut the Xianbei people with a knife, and the bones must be deep and visible, otherwise it will not be counted; Those who do not cut or slip through the net will be driven out of Mayi County; Only children under the age of 10 can be exempted from cutting, do you understand? ”
"Understood."
Gao Shun motioned to the four county officials and said, "You can start." ”
All the people present were inevitably taken aback by Gao Shun's order, but some people were very excited and finally had a chance to take revenge; But some people are very embarrassed and afraid of this bloodshed.
Gao Shun hopes that in this way, people's blood will be aroused; If even the border people lose their blood, it will be the beginning of a disaster for this nation.
The county officials began to call their names in the order of household registration, and the first person to be called in each group was the three elders, followed by Sifu and Youxi; They knew that the orders of the military advisors could not be disobeyed, and they also set an example for the people of the county by calling them forward first.
When someone takes the lead, things are easy to do, and everyone does what they are told.
The soldier in charge of supervision shouted: "Except for the neck and face, you can cut it anywhere, if you cut the neck, you will die with a knife, it will be boring, if you cut your face to pieces, you will not be able to apply to the imperial court for war merits, everyone should pay attention when cutting." ”
Most people choose to cut off their arms, thighs, chest, calves and other parts, which are non-lethal parts anyway, even if they are cut dozens of times, they can't die in a short time, unless they bleed too much and die.
Especially those women, when they cut, they didn't dare to look at it, they closed their eyes and slashed indiscriminately, and their mouths were still muttering, "I cut, I cut, I cut!" "Regardless of the depth of the knife marks, as long as you cut more than 3 times in a row, and the knife bleeds, it is considered to be passed.
The Xianbei people were in unbearable pain and rolled on the ground.
Those who fainted in pain were immediately woken up by a bucket of cold water, and only those who were really dead were dragged aside, and the next county citizen was ordered to cut off their heads.
They were talking about the good of the new county magistrate, they were taken into the county seat, protected from the looting of the Xianbei barbarians, they had just eaten a full meal for a few days under the care of the county magistrate, no one wanted to lose this life, even if the military division's requirements were excessive, they had to insist on carrying it out, no one flinched, even if they shed tears, they had to insist on cutting the Xianbei prisoners a few times.
If there is death, there will be a new Xianbei person who will be pushed up and replaced.
The people of the four townships have been cut, followed by the residents of the county town, and the requirements are the same, and no one should think of being left to chance.
Someone began to vomit after a slash, trying to get through the trick, but was pulled back by the on-site watcher and slashed, and a certain effect must be achieved.
Moaning, cursing, crying, the sound was deafening, and Gao Shun was unmoved.
By the afternoon, the county magistrate's mouth was dry and his throat was almost hoarse, and he finally completed his task.
Gao Shun was very relieved that no one flinched.
And those Xianbei people who were cut down are dying and dying painfully on the ground.
"Demon, if you have the guts, kill us directly."
Gao Shun laughed in his heart, this kind of agitation method did not work for him, and said: "Okay, since you want to die quickly, then I will meet your requirements." ”
Therefore, all the cavalry of Gao Shun dismounted and whipped the 70 Xianbei people who were not yet dead with their horsewhips until they were killed. Each cavalry tun was assigned to 35 Xianbei people, Xu Fu and Cao Xing personally supervised, 35 people each time, the cycle forward, each person drew 3 whips, and they must be whipped into the flesh, otherwise they would be whipped by Xu Fu or Cao Xing.
The Xianbei people were smoked crying dad and shouting mother, ghosts crying wolf howling, and the crying sound went straight to the sky.
The onlookers shuddered, shuddered at this form of punishment, and were stunned by this rude way; They secretly decided that they would provoke less of this iron-blooded military division in the future.
When the 160 Xianbei slaves saw this scene, they secretly decided that they could not disobey the orders of this demon master at any time, otherwise they would not be able to survive or die at that time.
The blood of so many Xianbei people stained the earth red, and since then, the people of Mayi have called July Red July, and formed a tradition to choose vegetarian food as much as possible in July.
Gao Shun completely confirmed the title of iron-blooded military division, and later, not only did the aliens be terrified, but even the Han people were terrified when they heard his name.
