readx;
The news of Shang Xuanli's suicide with Xu Chao's master and apprentice was not known until two days later, when he had already entered the city of Bei'an, purging the remnants of the enemy and pacifying the surviving people of Beijing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For Buchen, it was not difficult to conquer Bei'an City, the city had no ability to hold on before Gong De Du Chi died, and after Gong De Du Chi died, there were no firm defenders, and there were only some barbarian thugs who had gone berserk!
After Buchen found that the fire in the city was on fire, he immediately stopped following Xuehu and ordered his army to start attacking the city.
The imperial army entered from the urn city, and in order to save time, they sent death squads to bury explosive packs under the next few city walls, and completely penetrated the perverted city defense of Bei'an in a few hours by relying on tragic sacrifices!
After that, the imperial army entered the city and began to suppress the orcs who smashed and burned them, although these orcs were crazy at this time, they didn't actually have much courage and fighting spirit, they just vented wantonly on the heads of the weak, and in the face of the wolf-like imperial army, they were almost crushed at the touch of a button!
The imperial army was not polite to these orcs, and under the leadership of the military judge, all the orc captives who were caught alive were punished on the street in accordance with the previous order of Buchen, and they were shot in the head!
Under such a resolute iron fist suppression, the smashing and burning of the orcs was quickly and completely stopped, and the remnants retreated into the Forbidden City to resist stubbornly.
Buchen entered the city with the army, while arranging the army to besiege the Forbidden City, while arranging the aftermath, after receiving the news that Xu Chao and Shang Xuanli committed suicide, he personally went to Xu Chao's mansion to see.
At this time, Xuanli's body had not been taken off, and he was still hanging on the beams of the room, staring at the corpse that was suffocating purple and his face was distorted, and said with a playful smile: "What, the strategist who has been trying to oppose me is such a delicate sissy, I thought it was a great husband with a Chinese face and a tall face!" ā
I have to say that although Shang Xuanli's body's facial features have been distorted, from the delicate corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he can still see this suave man before his death.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the bodies of these two traitors?" The officer in charge of searching for Shang Xuanli and Xu Chao on the side asked.
Buchen knew that this officer wanted to cut off the heads of these two dead people and pass on the first day to set an example, but he didn't have such a plan, after all, with the death of Gong Deduchi, the dark era has passed, and a new era is coming! In fact, Buchen intends to announce the complete abolition of those tortures that have been passed down since the feudal era after the Jingshi is completely pacified, and in the future, no matter how big the crime is committed in the Central Empire, it will only be a gun at most.
"Isn't there a pit being dug outside the city to bury the corpses of orcs? Just put these two guys in there. Buchen said lightly.
"Your Majesty, so... It's too cheap, aren't you? The officer frowned, and asked with some hesitation.
"No, no, no!" Buchen shook his finger at the officer and said with a smile: "A new era is about to begin, and in that era, the country no longer needs any cruel means to intimidate the people!" ā
With that, Buchen strode out of the room to deal with other things.
The officer watched as Buchen's back gradually disappeared from sight, he didn't know what the new era in Buchen's mouth was, but he intuitively felt that it was a beautiful era, and when he thought of this, his mind was also much broader, and he was no longer indignant that the two heinous guys had been dealt with cheaply.
"Take it down and transport it to the big pit outside the city!" The officer commanded his men in a brisk tone.
ā¦ā¦
The remnants of the orcs did not survive in the Forbidden City for long, Buchen had previously asked the Imperial Arsenal to study weapons of mass destruction against pure military fortresses, and finally the chief weapon research and development engineer Huang Daoshi selected a thing called "mustard poison gas" among the many materials provided by Buchen to start researching, and handed over the finished product to Buchen at the beginning of this year.
And in order for this southern expedition to be smooth sailing, Buchen naturally brought this thing with him.
On a day when the wind was right, the Imperial army evacuated the people near the Forbidden City, and then released mustard gas towards the Forbidden City, how could the orcs have such a shady thing in Buchen's hands? Suddenly, the path of this gas appeared, and soon the skin surface of the whole body was red, swollen, and ulcerated, and then coughed violently, and finally fell to the ground in endless pain......
After a day and a half of the gas dissipated, the imperial army cautiously entered the Forbidden City, at this time the siege city has become a huge tomb, which is littered with the horrific corpses of the orcs, but the imperial army did not take this lightly, and began to carry out a clean-up operation inside the Forbidden City under the advice of Buchen - Buchen's idea is very simple, poison gas is not omnipotent, maybe some fish that slipped through the net and survived.
In fact, his consideration is very reasonable, the Forbidden City, as a palace of the old empire, left a lot of secret passages and secret rooms at the beginning of its construction, and such a place is built underground, which can effectively shield the invasion of poisonous gas!
In the following nearly a month of clean-up operations, a total of thousands of orcs were searched from various tunnels.
Treating these captives, because the anger had almost subsided, Buchen did not let the army kill the generals, but sent auxiliaries to escort them back to the four towns of Wushan, and let them go to various mines with difficulties in mining together with the remnants of the ape and beast tribes who had taken refuge before.
However, unlike the first two, because of the great sins, these orc captives had to do hard labor for the rest of their lives......
After the end of the Forbidden City clean-up operation, the Bei'an War of Capture and Surrender was completely over.
Buchen inquired about the whereabouts of the other orcs from the captured orc leaders, and the answer was that as early as a few months ago, Gong Deduchi had already systematically transferred the old and weak women and children of the orcs and some of their elite forces to the northern forest sea, in an attempt to let the orcs survive again in their homeland and wait for the human empire to weaken again after hundreds of years......
It was impossible for Buchen to sit idly by and watch this happen, so he sent the 13th Cavalry Corps, composed of the Blood Clan, and several other light cavalry divisions to hunt down the remnants of these beasts.
At the same time, Buchen also sent the regular army of the empire with the mobilized auxiliaries to attack separately, radiating from Bei'an to the four directions of the eastern country, starting the war of unification of the eastern country in the real sense.
However, unlike the war with the orcs, the enemies faced in the war of unification were only the gentry who were unwilling to surrender their privileges, although these people were the head snakes of the land everywhere, and had very great power in the feudal state, but in the face of the overwhelming and powerful army, it was still not enough to see, so there was no need to elaborate on this seemingly huge war.
Only a year later, the entire Eastern Continent was completely pacified, and the orcs who fled north were all captured.
Buchen re-held a ceremony to worship the heavens on the outskirts of Bei'an, announcing the complete recovery of the Eastern Kingdom to the gods of the heavens and the ancestral gods of the Eastern People, and announcing that the Central Empire would replace the original Eastern Kingdom and become the ruler of the new era of this continent!
This ceremony was quite successful, although the people of Bei'an City were still not very interested in Buchen's thinking at this time, but they still watched the ceremony with the intention of joining in the fun, and under the leadership of the nurses, they shouted long live to Buchen Mountain, for the people of Bei'an at this time, it doesn't matter who rules Dongguo and Bei'an, as long as they don't force them to live a bad life.
Of course, this kind of thinking of theirs will definitely be vigorously reformed in the future......
After the ceremony, a new problem was put in front of the minister, that is, how to deal with the two million orc captives brought back by the cavalry!
