Chapter 1004: The Epilogue (3)

Although today's battle was won by Lin Ze's army with an overwhelming advantage, Lin Ze's heart was not happy about it.

Of course, Lin Ze was still very satisfied in his heart.

War is the best place to test the true strength of an army, and this time the performance of Lin Ze's army gave him a perfect answer.

With a number of more than 10,000, the 140,000 Qingzhou rebels were directly annihilated, although the nine layers of these Qingzhou rebels were ordinary civilians, but this battle feat was huge.

Lin Ze didn't laugh, and the reason was here.

His army is the Qingzhou rebels who have eliminated 140,000, but almost all of the people here are born at the bottom of the people, although they are on the enemy side, but, in the final analysis, they are just a group of poor people, they will become rebels, not because of the great flood in Qingzhou, not because of the inaction of the imperial court, not because they can no longer live, so they will rebel, they will become rebels, and they will fight against Lin Ze's army.

After eliminating so many rebels, Lin Ze would only have sadness in his heart, not any excitement.

If it were possible, Lin Ze would rather not have this battle feat, rather than take these rebels, who were all born from the bottom of the people, as his own war merit.

"Alas, Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering!" Lin Ze sighed in his heart.

No matter which dynasty or era, the common people are the weakest party, and there are few times when they are not guilty.

"Young Master, the battlefield is cleaned up, what should we do with those prisoners? Or are they still in the labor camp according to the previous practice?" Lin Hu came to Lin Ze's side and asked.

After being by Lin Ze's side for so long, Lin Hu has already understood Lin Ze's way of acting, and he also understands what he thinks of those people at the bottom in his heart, which is what Lin Hu wants to see the most.

Lin Hu was also born at the bottom, so he understood very well the hardships of the lives of the people at the bottom, and he also wanted to do something for the people at the bottom, but at that time, he himself was about to gain a firm foothold and wanted to help others, which was completely impossible.

Well, now that the master he followed, Lin Ze, is a person who truly loves the people, so Lin Hu's previous wish to do something for the people at the bottom is equivalent to a fulfillment.

The number of prisoners captured by them this time was nearly 110,000, and according to the previous practice, they had already been assigned to labor camps to receive labor reform, but Lin Hu knew very well that these people were still poor and miserable people at the bottom half a year ago, or a year ago, and they were not soldiers at all.

"That's a problem. Lin Ze lowered his head and thought about it, he obviously thought of this as well.

Lin Hu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then, standing aside and waiting for Lin Ze's order.

It took a full two minutes for Lin Ze to think about the problem.

"Lin Hu, let's get them into a labor camp to receive reform!" Lin Ze said directly.

"What, young master, this ......." Lin Hu's face was stunned, with his previous understanding of Lin Ze, Lin Ze should not have made such a decision, but why did Lin Ze make such a decision.

"Lin Hu, you are right to pity those people, I hope you will always have the hearts of such poor people in your heart. Lin Ze first affirmed Lin Hu's pity for the people at the bottom.

Then, he changed his words and said: "However, Lin Hu, you also score some differences here, and you have to have a code of conduct, or a bottom line." The people at the bottom are indeed pitiful, but as long as they make mistakes, they still have to accept punishment, and they can't because they are the people at the bottom, living in hardship, and they are very pitiful, so if they make mistakes, you pretend not to see them, or just preach and let them go, if you do this, it is a big mistake.

Because, you are indulging in sin. Once this person's criminal behavior is caught and not punished, then this person will definitely commit the same criminal behavior again, or even countless times, and the consequences will be even greater.

Just like these rebels in Qingzhou this time, we all know that they are all ordinary people at the bottom, and they will all embark on the road of no return to rebellion because they can't survive, but we can't just let them go because of these reasons.

Not to mention anything else, can you guarantee that these people really didn't commit any crimes during the time they rebelled?! Lin Hu, you should have seen with your own eyes the packages carried by those Qingzhou rebels, are there a lot of gold and silver jewelry stained with blood or something. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ze didn't say any more, and looked directly at Lin Hu beside him.

"Young Master, I was wrong!" Lin Hu said with a look of shame on his face.

Lin Hu was personally responsible for cleaning up the battlefield this time, so he had seen countless such blood-stained packages and gold and silver jewelry.

If it's one, two, ten, twenty, even a hundred, two hundred, it's nothing.

Isn't it said as the old saying goes, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and among so many people, there will always be a few rat droppings.

However, this time, the number of blood-stained gold and silver jewelry, as well as other belongings, that Lin Hu collected exceeded tens of thousands, and there was nothing to say about what this matter said.

Seeing Lin Hu's lost look, Lin Ze stepped forward and patted Lin Hu's shoulder and comforted: " Lin Hu, don't be too sad, although some of these captives have done something wrong, but I believe that most of them are still good, they still have a bottom line, and they can still be educated, so we can't just let them go so simply, but we must carefully identify the people inside to see if they have committed crimes, whether the crimes are serious or not, and then sentence them to different sentences according to different crimes, so that we can truly have a clear conscience. ”

"Well, young master, I listen to you!" Lin Hu said as he regained his spirits.

"That's good!" Seeing that Lin Hu had recovered his spirits, Lin Ze was relieved.

"Lin Hu, this matter will be handed over to you later, as long as there are innocent human lives in his hands, he will be sentenced heavily; if he only robs and does not harm people's lives, then he will be sentenced according to the crime of robbery; if he did not commit these crimes, but only participated in the rebel army, then he will be sentenced according to the length of time he has participated.

For example, if he has just participated in the program and has not yet participated in it for less than a month, he will be sentenced to one month of labor reform, and if the time is between one month and three months, the time for labor reform is directly half a year, and for those from half a year to one year, all of them are ten months. (The rebellion in Qingzhou has not been around for a year, so there won't be more than a year.) Lin Ze determined some standards for sentencing, and the rest of Lin Hu just had to follow this standard.

"Yes, young master, Lin Hu understands!" Lin Hu said with a serious face.

"No. 3, you said that these are just the troops that Lin Lixuan trained in less than half a year?Can the army under the command of the Lord be comparable to these armies of Lin Ze?" On a small hill full of trees a thousand meters away from the battlefield, a man in his thirties dressed in grass and trees asked the man next to him who was also dressed in the same costume.

No. 3's face was red and white at this time, he had already valued Lin Ze's army before, in his mind, this war, Lin Ze's side might be able to win, but it would definitely be a miserable victory, and there would not be a few left in the end.

When the time comes, he will follow the orders of the Governor's Mansion and bring some more rebels here until Lin Ze is eliminated.

It can be said that the calculations in the Governor's Palace are really fine.

However, no matter how refined his calculations were, they all failed in the face of the strong combat effectiveness of Lin Ze's army.

No. 3 never imagined that the combat effectiveness of the more than 10,000 cavalry under Lin Ze would be so strong, and in the face of the 140,000 Qingzhou rebels, not only was he not afraid, but he took the initiative to attack, and finally directly wiped out the 140,000 Qingzhou rebels.

The most chilling thing for him was that the casualties of Lin Ze's army were extremely small, definitely not more than a thousand, and the entire battle lasted two or three hours from the beginning to the end.

(In fact, the time to really end the battle was only more than half an hour, after the black dragon was captured alive and the other armies were dispersed, this battle could already be said to be over, as for the remaining one or two hours, it was just that Lin Ze's army was cleaning up the battlefield and grabbing the prisoners who knelt on the ground and surrendered.) )

The 140,000 Qingzhou rebels were wiped out in two or three hours, and this kind of combat efficiency made No. 3 dumbfounded.

Defeating the 140,000 Qingzhou rebels, No. 3 thinks that the Governor's Mansion can still do it, but this requires the Governor's Mansion to gather at least 100,000 troops and spend ten days and half a month to defeat the Qingzhou rebels.

Idea, this is just a defeat, not a total annihilation like Lin Ze's now.

In the past, No. 3 had always thought that the strength of the Governor's Palace was the strongest, but after watching this battle, he realized that he was actually a frog at the bottom of a well.

The number of troops in the hands of the Governor's Mansion is indeed quite a lot, there are more than 500,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness is much stronger than the rebels in Qingzhou, it seems that it has a great advantage over Lin Ze, but don't forget that like such a powerful cavalry, Lin Ze has 100,000 in his hands.

Thinking that Lin Ze had such a powerful heavy cavalry as 100,000 in his hands, No. 3's heart directly became cold, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, speechless.

The only thought in his heart now is to spread the news from here to the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible, so that the Governor's Mansion can dispel the idea of going against Lin Ze.
