Kill each other with evil and cut themselves off from heaven.

The urn city turned into a Shura field, cold iron, hot blood, crashing into the black of death, broken and mottled, shocking and dazzling.

Hideous faces, manic roars, tossing and staggering in the bloody wind and rain, with the most primitive instincts, killing and biting like wild beasts.

Reason and humanity have long since been annihilated, and only tyranny and madness remain.

There is no right or wrong, no intimacy, every figure in Scarlet's sight is a mortal enemy, just rush up to kill, or be killed.

Such a tragic scene made the hearts of the onlookers at the head of the city tremble, and the hands holding the bow and crossbow were trembling slightly.

Many civil officials quietly closed their eyes, unable to bear to look at them, and muttered Taoist Buddhist scriptures in an attempt to find some peace of mind.

And although Qian Long has been watching in a daze, his cheeks twitch from time to time, indicating that he, the initiator, is not at peace in his heart.

It lasted for more than half an hour before everything gradually subsided.

The two acres of flat land in the city were soaked in blood and covered with corpses of various shapes, and the surviving pirates were panting for breath on the corpses.

They didn't become Buddhas on the spot, they even forgot the number of three hundred, and the reason why they stopped was just that they were exhausted and couldn't kill anymore.

The leader who gave the first order was still alive, he swayed from the pile of corpses, holding a half-cut knife, stood up strongly, and howled in the sky, "I am alive! …… Lao Tzu is still alive! Let's go all over the world... Still alive! ”

The shrill voice was like the howling of a demon, and madness was in the midst of desolation.

The officers and soldiers in the city were inexplicably frightened, and subconsciously aimed Wangshan at him.

The chilling murderous aura made the leader stunned for a moment, and then laughed resentfully, "Hahaha...... Sure enough, I can't believe a word of the dog official's words! …… If you enter the mother, you will be deceived when you die, Lao Tzu really deserves it...... Come, shoot at this! ”

Zhao Shijian was about to give an order, but Qian Long waved his hand, "It is not easy for him to earn a life with his ability, just let him go, the others who are still alive are the same, anyway, there are less than a hundred in total." ”

"Those who survived were all extremely cruel, and if they were kept, they would cause trouble."

Zhao Shijian hesitated a little, and after speaking, he looked at Uncle Xie Fang with an inquiring gaze.

Uncle Xie Fang thought for a while, "Although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, since they are in the name of His Highness, they can't easily break their promises, send someone to clean up, and the injured can be saved......"

Zhao Shijian received the order and led his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and dispose of the corpses.

A fierce cannibalism made the atmosphere a little heavy, but in the end, the pressure of defending the city was relieved, and everyone's mentality was slightly relaxed.

At this time, the sun was almost setting, and Uncle Xie Fang and the others were about to return to Zicheng, but they found that there was something abnormal at the port.

I saw that dozens of large ships came to the dock and began to unload people.

Zhao Jujing was shocked, "Haikou is still increasing troops?" ”

"It seems that they are bound to win Quanzhou City." Uncle Xie Fang's brows tightened.

Immediately, Qian Long, who looked puzzled, handed the telescope to Uncle Xie Fang, "Xie Xiang, look at it, these Haikou seem to be very strange, very different from the previous ones. ”

Uncle Xie Fang hurriedly looked at it after taking it, and observed it carefully for a while before muttering, "It's actually the people of the Liuqiu Kingdom and the Vaisha Evil Country, they actually united, and they even colluded with the Haikou......

Qian Long was even more confused when he heard it, "I know if I beg you, but aren't there only wild people on it?" How can there be a country? And what the hell is this Vishah. ”

"It's true that the Liuqiu people are still very backward, and there is no serious country, and the Liuqiu country is just a title."

Zhou Mi saw that Uncle Xie Fang was still observing, so he explained on his behalf, "In fact, there are many different tribes on Liuqiu Island, with different levels of civilization, which can be roughly divided into two types. ”

"One can cultivate, can weave, everyone has a beard, pierces ears, women do not pierce ears, can build houses, plant thorns as fences, a large family of men and women, young and old, sleep together, even if they meet in Dunlun, they do not avoid each other, their dwellings have a ravine, a fence, and surrounded by flowing water, and observe the waxing and waning of the moon to judge the time, there are no goods of value, and there are no merchants and taxes."

"The tribes will also fight against each other, and most of them like to cut off the heads of the enemy as trophies and bring them back, and then empty their brains, peel off the flesh to make skeletons, and decorate them with dog hair and the like, and when they fight, they will wear masks on their faces, or offer them to the chief Yi Wang, who will hang these skeletons on a big tree or outside the house to commend the courage of the headhunters, and some tribes will even collect the corpses of the war dead, and then gather and eat them."

Many people were shocked to hear that this group of beggars was so barbaric and ferocious, and Qian Long even asked, "Is the body of this so-called war dead an enemy or his own people?" ”

Zhou Mi scratched his head, "Neither the ancient records nor the current exploration are detailed, and the customs of each tribe are different, so it may be possible. ”

"And what about their armaments?" Qian Long asked again.

Zhou Mi replied, "There are swords, lances, bows, arrows, swords, beryllium and other weapons, the form is quite complete, it stands to reason that their level of civilization should not have these, I carefully consulted the ancient books, and only found the clue." ”

"About six or seven hundred years ago, a group of highly civilized foreign forces landed on Liuqiu Island, conquered and ruled a large area, but they really established a country, I guess it may be the remnants of the Funan Kingdom after their country was annexed by Zhenla."

Zhou Mi said this, in fact, it is just the habit of the literati, but if you can learn more about the convection, everyone is willing to listen.

Therefore, he continued, "According to the Sui book, in the third year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Zhu Kuan to visit overseas exotic customs, and then Zhu Kuan met He Man and other Nanyang people in Guangzhou, and as a result, He Man and others induced Zhu Kuan to arrive at Liuqiu twice before and after, Zhu Kuan asked Liuqiu to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty, but was refused, and then Emperor Yang sent an army to levy Liuqiu, burned his palace and destroyed his country, and captured thousands of men and women and returned. ”

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for this annihilation, then if it had been allowed to develop until now, I am afraid that Liuqiu Island would have become a serious country, which would add a lot of obstacles to our development."

When Qian Long heard this, he laughed, "Then He Man is most likely a Zhenla person, using the Sui Dynasty to exterminate the remnants of Funan, and playing well to kill people with a knife, it is said that Emperor Yang of Sui is very happy, but some of his actions can be regarded as leaving a legacy, by the way, what is the other one you are talking about?" ”

After pondering his thoughts, he said, "The other can be classified as the Evil Kingdom of Vaishah, these people are almost completely uncivilized, dark-skinned, short, and naked, and look like wild beasts. ”

"Since the beginning of the Gandao period, some people in our dynasty have moved to Pinghu Island and cultivated on it, and then the people of the evil country on the opposite side often come to attack, loot crops, and force the Han people who were captured by them to be guides, and then plundered the first village of Shui'ao Wai along the coast of Quanzhou, and committed violence, killing countless people, and molesting their women, and killing them."

"These people should not have much production capacity, and the throwing guns they use must be tied with a rope of more than ten zhang in order to be recycled, and they rob anything that can be taken away, especially iron tools, such as the iron rings on the doors of the people, and the iron armor on the officers and soldiers who died in battle, and even the spoons and chopsticks.

At this time, Uncle Xie Fang put down his binoculars and was worried, "Although these two kinds of people are on Liuqiu Island, one mainly lives in the mountainous areas and lives by half-farming and half-hunting, and the other lives in the coastal areas, mainly fishing for a living, the two basically have no interaction, and even hostile to each other, but now they are united, which is not a big threat to Quanzhou City at the moment, but we people on Liuqiu Island are probably going to be in a worrying situation, not to mention that now that the supply is cut off, one will be wiped out if he is not careful, Then our efforts to develop the flow will be in vain, and what is more serious is that if the various tribes on the island are united from now on, we will have to pay many times more in the future. ”

Zhao Mengqi created a community of interests with the sugar industry as the core, and the development of Liuqiu is the basis for realizing this interest, without a sugarcane planting base, everything is impossible to talk about, and the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will naturally no longer support Yanwang's new policy.

Qian Long quickly figured this out, "In other words, some people deliberately let us know that the Liuqiu people have begun to unite, and use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail His Highness?" ”

Uncle Xie Fang nodded, "Yes, His Highness can stand firm now, and it is inseparable from those supporters who have gathered together by emerging industries, whether it is Taihu Lake Water Conservancy, the Royal Bank, or the training team of raising the army and building schools, to put it bluntly, His Highness has embezzled the investment provided by these supporters, and it is not a problem if there are huge returns to be expected in the future." ”

"However, once the flow of development encounters a major setback, those profit-seeking heroes will be shaken, and it is likely that they will withdraw their investment and support, so that His Royal Highness may have to make compromises in order to stabilize the situation and completely abandon the new policy plan for Fujian."

"If His Royal Highness compromises, it will not only lose the new policy of Fujian, but also the dominance of the flow of development, and then the dominance of the sugar industry and maritime trade."

Zhou Mi couldn't help but sigh, "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, aren't they afraid that they will never recover after failure?" ”

Uncle Xie Fang had a helpless wry smile on his face, "So they are unscrupulous, as long as they can win, then no matter what they do, they will not be held accountable, and even the vast majority of the world does not know what they have done at all, after all, only the victors are qualified to record and interpret history." ”

At this moment, the guards of Linzhangmen sent an urgent report that a large number of bandits had appeared on the other side of the Jinjiang River in the west of Quanzhou City, estimated to be no less than 30,000 people!

Everyone had expected the arrival of the bandits, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly and so much.

"It seems that even if His Highness does not compromise, these people are ready to fight hard."

Uncle Xie Fang pondered the situation for a moment, "Probably tomorrow, there will be more bandits coming, what we can do now is to report the situation in detail to His Highness, what to do, His Highness himself decides, perhaps, those people are also waiting for us to send the news out." ”

Half an hour later, the north gate of Quanzhou quietly opened to the heavenly gate, and a small group of cavalry drilled out and took advantage of the night to rush to Fuzhou.
