In the garrison mansion, Zhang Fu was looking at a secret letter.

It was sent with the decree, and it is self-evident who wrote it.

The letter said that Zhu Qizhen was very concerned about the Ming people who had been taken captive to the grassland over the years, and hoped that Zhang Fu could seize this opportunity and negotiate with the ministries, The imperial court can provide some gold and silk grain to rescue the Ming people as much as possible.

Of course, if there are Mongolian ministries to vote, the Ming Dynasty should accept it, so as to show the demeanor of the country.

In addition to this incident, for the Varat captives, the holy decree says that leniency is given, only the great evil is punished, and they are free to come and go.

Those who are willing to stay, we welcome, and those who want to leave, we say goodbye.

And in this secret letter, Zhu Qizhen specially mentioned a word: for my use.

Zhang Fu is such a shrewd person, he can see His Majesty's true intentions at a glance.

What does it mean to take advantage of this opportunity? What is this opportunity?

His Majesty's intentions could not have been clearer, and this opportunity was naturally a great defeat for Warat, with heavy losses among the ministries.

Da Ming, take advantage of this good opportunity to send troops to the grassland.

Why do you send troops to the grasslands?

Of course, it is to save the people of the Ming Dynasty.

If you can get it back by yourself, is it really necessary to exchange it for silver?

If you really do this, then I'm afraid you will be a big fool.

If you do not treat silver as silver, it will be struck by lightning.

As for how the various tribes on the steppe come to vote?

That's easy, there are many ways.

Someone killed all your cattle and sheep and robbed you of your grain, tell me how you survived this winter?

Isn't that the only way left to go to Daming?

Of course, these things cannot be put on the surface, they can only be understood, not spoken.

How can the Son of Heaven and the Duke of the Ming Dynasty do such a thing?

Zhang Fu knew that he had to get this matter done before leaving and returning to Beijing.

Zhang Fu quickly found the right person.

Bauhinia Pass is guarded by Tao Jin.

Zhang Fu just nodded a few words, and Tao Jin already understood.

The first thing is easy to do, easy to do, and he likes to do it very much.

It is necessary to kill people.

If you don't kill people, people will think you're a bully.

The best way to intimidate them is to cut off their companions' heads in front of them.

This is deeply true of both the Ming Dynasty and the grassland.

It only takes two steps to kill the so-called great evil.

The first step is to determine the standard, which Zhang Fu determined.

The second step is to find out the person.

It's just that it's still very difficult to find out from the 3,000 people who meet the standards.

And it's almost impossible to count on the cooperation of those Warats.

Zhang Fu used a simple and crude method: hunger.

For two whole days, not a drop of water, not a grain of rice, were given to these Warats.

Soon, the Warats couldn't stand it anymore and became restless.

After killing a few people who wanted to take the lead in making trouble, the remaining Warat people could only starve obediently, scolding the Han people in their hearts.

For two days, the water and rice had not been touched by teeth, and almost all of the 3,000 or so people were so weak that they became soft-footed shrimps, and some of them were weak, and even fainted.

The Ming army drove them to the school yard at this time, and Tao Jin had been waiting on the stage for a long time.

Beside Tao Jin, there are more than a dozen steamed cakes.

When the Warats arrived at the schoolyard, they saw steamed cakes at first sight

, I can't take my eyes off it.

These people were already hungry, with a green light in their eyes, looking greedily at these steamed cakes, and did not leave for a moment.

Many people squirm in their throats and swallow saliva unconsciously.

Hunger makes them forget even their fears.

Tao Jin asked the interpreter to tell them: Among them, anyone who abuses and kills and humiliates the soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty is a great evildoer.

Those who are wicked will serve three years of forced labor for the Ming Dynasty to atone for their sins.

As for the others, Your Majesty is gracious, lenient and will not be held accountable.

It can be said that this standard set by Zhang Fu has been very loose.

If you add plundering property and the like, then it is not called only a great evil, it is a direct killing of prisoners.

I'm afraid that except for a few dolls, the rest are innocent.

Tao Jin specially emphasized that these steamed cakes are only shared by those who take the initiative to report and expose them.

In this report, it is necessary to tell the time, place, when, where, and what was done, so as to prevent someone from being bitten by a mad dog.

The whole school was silent.

The Warat people are also human beings, and they also need face, after all, no one wants to be a traitor.

Especially in front of the Han Chinese.

Tao Jin is not in a hurry at all, he believes that soon someone will be willing to be the first person.

In the face of hunger, everything is in vain.

Soon, someone made a choice.

When the first person set an example and devoured steamed cakes, the entire crowd of people in Varat instantly became like a river opening the gates.

Everyone racked their brains, scrambling to expose the people they knew, just to get a steamed cake.

Eating steamed cakes in his mouth, he comforted himself in his heart: It's okay, it's exposed, and the Han people don't want his life, they just let him work as a coolie for three years, it's okay, it's okay.

Soon, seven or eight hundred people were brought out.

They seem to accept their fate, and the coolies are coolies, so they can stutter, right?

Besides, when I find an opportunity to grab a horse and escape, I will come to rob you and kill you in the future.

Tao Jin showed a smile, he has led the army for many years, and he doesn't know what these people think.

People who are accustomed to murder and arson are used to buying and selling, do you expect him to be good, is it possible?

Tao Jin asked people to carry a few baskets of steamed cakes and put them in front of them.

These people rushed up and grabbed like crazy.

Tao Jin is not in a hurry, as the old saying goes, send people on the road, and there must be a severed meal.

When they were feasting, Tao Jin signaled, and a team of foot archers appeared in the school field and surrounded them.

These people who were surrounded immediately understood the intentions of the Ming army.

Where is this to let them do coolies, this is clearly to ask for their lives.

Which of these vicious people is willing to sit back and wait to die?

It's just that they have nothing, and two rounds of arrows rain down, whether they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, or fight to the death, the final result is that everyone has a few feather arrows stuck in their bodies, and either they can't die anymore, or they have breath left when they are dying.

Then, a team of soldiers skillfully stepped forward to mend their swords, retrieve the feather arrows, and cut off the heads.

The head was first salted with lime, and then it was distributed to this pass, and hung on top of it as an example.

As for the corpses in one place, they were naturally disposed of by these Varats, who were already trembling with fear.

In this world, there is no beauty difference who only eats and does not work, and it is very suitable for the Warat people to carry the Warat people.

Besides, this can also make them more memorable and deepen their impression.

After this, these Warats became much more docile.

Perhaps, it's because the thorns are basically completely clean.

Tao Jin happily enjoyed this good play.

As for whether there is any innocent wrongdoer in this, I think there should be.

But does that matter? It doesn't matter.
