25. The war is over



more

Cheng Peng returned to the game and found that his game corner "Se" was sitting in a retreat in the quiet room, and his injuries had almost recovered, and because of this retreat, he had fully digested the gains of the previous adventure and battle, which had improved his martial arts cultivation a lot.

The reason why he had to spend a few days recuperating and healing, instead of dying directly once to refresh the character's state, was to gain martial arts cultivation.

The genus "nature" of martial arts cultivation is not directly manifested as offensive and defensive ability or basic "nature", but it is related to the speed and depth of learning new skills, as well as the subtlety of self-created skills.

His strongest skill at the moment is his self-created seven-star stunt "Gun of Annihilation", and this move is indeed very powerful, and it was the final word in the battle that killed Dorgon. Fully accumulating martial arts cultivation can make this skill better improve and develop, and it is also the most convenient way for him to continue to become stronger.

Cheng Peng clicked on the skill introduction and found that the completion of the Gun of Disintegration had really improved - this skill originally had no concept of "completion", until this time he used this trick to the limit, so he destroyed the three-star gold-level weapon Huolin Gun used to cast the spear, which activated the "completion" genus "sex". Adventure 25

[Gun of Annihilation: The spear-throwing skill created by player Cheng Peng forcibly blends a variety of forces into the spear-throwing, bursting out with earth-shattering power. However, because the combined power is too much and too strong, ordinary spears simply cannot withstand it, and it will be shattered before it is completely combined, and only gold-level spears can fully combine various powers to truly show the power of this move. Even so, it will cause the spear used to attack to explode completely, with no possibility of repair. 】

[Current skill level: seven stars.] The refinement process has been activated, and the current level of completion: 6%. Each time you destroy a weapon, you can get a completion level equivalent to the weapon star; Each time you experience a big battle and complete the cultivation and comprehension of the battle, you can get different levels of completion depending on the intensity of the battle. 】

Before Cheng Peng's retreat, the completion rate of the Spear of Destruction was three percent, which was obtained by destroying the three-star gold-level weapon Huolin Spear.

Just relying on destruction weapons to accumulate completion is undoubtedly a terrible thing - how rare are gold-level weapons! And it has to be a spear...... That's even harder! If you want to use this kind of ruined way to complete the Gun of Annihilation, don't say Cheng Peng, even the presidents of those big guilds can't afford it.

Therefore, the only thing he can really rely on is to retreat and comprehend combat experience.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that this completion is not very difficult to obtain, as long as he fights more fierce battles, he can naturally continue to comprehend, and sooner or later he can completely complete this skill!

Cheng Peng pondered this question as he pushed open the door of the retreat room. There was an NPC general waiting outside the gate, and when he saw him come out, he immediately invited him to the army to discuss the matter.

Judging from the general's military uniform, his grade is not low, and he is already a high-ranking official of the second and third grades, but in front of Cheng Peng, he is respectful, and he doesn't even dare to take a breath of air.

This is because Cheng Peng's identity is too terrifying - a peerless general in the late Han Dynasty, a Taoist who has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, a hero who turned the tide, and a son of destiny who has been recognized by Xuanyuan Sword...... These identities add up, even today's son Zhu Cihong, who lives in Nanjing and presides over the government, is also overshadowed, how dare this general not show 120,000 points of respect?

Cheng Peng followed the general who led the way to the council chamber, and happened to see Frank? Zhu and several leaders of the Illuminati were discussing something with Xu Tu and Shen Qi.

"Cheng, it's just the right time for you to come back!" When Frank saw Cheng Peng come in, he happily came over and hugged him, and his strength almost made him add additional internal injuries to his injuries that had not yet healed, "Thank you so much this time!" ”

"Everyone is like-minded, of course I will do my best, there is nothing to thank." Cheng Peng smiled, "I believe that most Chinese people in my position will do the same thing, which is really nothing." ”

The more humble he is, the more awe-inspiring Frank is - there are many people who have the ability, but there are only a few who have the ability but no shelf, and those who have the ability but do not take credit are even rarer than the giant pandas in the real world! For such a person, I can't overstate the respect!

"What are you discussing?" Cheng Peng didn't like the feeling of being respected and regarded as an idol, so he almost didn't have the feeling of being offered to the altar, so he changed the topic.

"We are discussing how to deal with the captives and what to do after the recovery of Liaodong." Xu Tu replied.

In this battle, the Qing army dispatched a total of 300,000 troops, except for the Jurchen Eight Banners and Wu Sangui who were surrounded by the Ming legion and almost wiped out in time, the remaining departments were defeated and left the main army and fled in a hurry, after the Ming army annihilated the enemy in the encirclement, it pursued all the way to the north, and pursued until Shanhaiguan, only to stop because the logistics could not keep up.

Although the Ming army also suffered heavy losses in the war, the almost 80,000 prisoners captured in the end alone were enough to make up for the losses in the battle, in addition, Frank and others also planned to continue to wave their troops north to destroy the Qing State and the Horqin Mongols who supported the Qing State!

Now they are discussing what to do with these 80,000 captives, and what to do after the Qing State and the Horqin Mongols are destroyed.

"Sounds pretty simple...... Cheng Peng was a little puzzled, "what's there to argue about?" Adventure 25

Frank smiled wryly and pulled out the minutes of the previous meetings.

I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, and there were many generals at the meeting who shouted that they would dig a big pit and bury all the prisoners, and they would directly kill the Jurchen and Mongol tribes!

"Actually, it's a really good idea, it's simple and straightforward." Xu Tu said, "It's just a waste of resources - I think we can gather the captives and all the Jurchen and Mongolian elite populations, throw them into the poor mountains and rivers to reclaim the wasteland, and use them to open mines and build roads...... Anyway, it's all ready-made labor, and it doesn't feel bad when it dies. ”

Cheng Peng was noncommittal, and asked Shen Qi's opinion.

"The war is over." Shen Qi said, "They suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and it is impossible to recover without one or two decades, even if they continue to squeeze cruelly, it is impossible to squeeze out more oil and water, it is better to let them recuperate, anyway, they can't turn the sky again." ”

Cheng Peng sighed secretly in his heart and turned his head to look at Frank: "So, what about your opinion?" ”

"I'm also a knight, slaughtering captives...... Plundering the strong and let the old and weak die in the cold winter...... Send the captives to the mines to be persecuted to death...... These things are too discrediting to do! And I really don't want to do it! "But it seems like it has to be done, otherwise it will not be easy to deal with either the actual interests or the emotional aspects of the boys!" ”

Cheng Peng nodded, indicating that he understood his difficulties.

Since ancient times, it has been said that "mercy does not lead the army", and the general who leads the army does not need the feeling of mercy, and coldly counts all the soldiers as numbers, which is the most respected famous general.

But since ancient times, no one has been able to achieve a career by simple cruelty and ruthlessness, and those who can achieve success and maintain it have won the hearts and minds of the people to a considerable extent and won relatively wide support - for this, "benevolence" is indispensable.

Of course, there is no contradiction between the two, because the former is the requirement of the "general", and the latter is the requirement of the "king".

The problem for Frank is that he is still a general, but at the same time he has to do the duty of king, and at the same time, he has to fight against his romantic chivalry.

It's a difficult decision to choose.

"So I have an opinion, would you be interested in hearing it?"

"Of course!"

"As far as I know, the Jurchen and Mongol armies were led by nobles, and the officers were probably the leaders of the tribes. After this war, their leader, the aristocratic class, must have suffered heavy losses - the proportion of nobles in the crowd was originally only a few percent, the Jurchen had a population of about 500,000, and the Horqin Mongols had about 300,000, and the nobles of the 800,000 population would not exceed 40,000. And now there may only be five or six thousand left......"

"Hmm...... But what should we do about it? ”

"My suggestion is to screen out the nobles and leaders of the Horqin Mongol and Jurchen tribes, and leave no men, women, and children!" Cheng Peng said coldly, "The remaining civilians moved into the interior, held a ceremony for them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, let them change their surnames to Chinese, speak Chinese, and dispersed to live in densely populated areas of the Han nationality, and were not allowed to migrate within three generations, and they were not allowed to intermarry with each other." The names 'Jurchen' and 'Horqin Mongols' were abolished, and they were uniformly called the people of the Beigui, and they were treated together with the Han people, neither persecuted nor treated preferentially, as usual. ”

“…… In this way, will not their nation be completely destroyed? Frank exclaimed, "Diaspora in Han areas, intermarriage with Han people for three generations, change Chinese surnames, speak Chinese, recognize ancestors and return to their ancestors...... After three generations, won't there be no Jurchens and Horqin Mongols? ”

"Is it any good for them or for the Han people to keep the names of these two ethnic groups?"

"That's right...... So what about the vacated territory? ”

"Then we will gradually develop the population from the south." Cheng Peng shrugged, "Anyway, I believe you have time." Adventure 25

And so it was settled.

Xu Tu: I really didn't expect that you still have such a ruthless and decisive side!

Cheng Peng: No, I just chose the most appropriate way in the long run.

——————

I don't know if this treatment plan will make many people dissatisfied?

But from Cheng Peng's point of view, it is probably impossible to have a more "violent" idea......

The second watch is complete!
