Chapter 0674 I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake
Just when Tokugawa Noshin united with the various tribes of the Wa Kingdom, as well as the Ezo people and the Xiong raiders, to march towards the grass castle, the Dadu Protector Gengji had already gathered 50,000 servants.
The servant army, subordinate to the Wei Empire, is actually similar in nature to the county soldiers and tuntian soldiers of the Wei Empire.
Geng Ji was on the square of Caozhi City and gathered 50,000 servant troops.
The treatment of the servant army was much worse than that of the real Wei army, but it was better than that of the army of the Wa State.
There are 50,000 servants, and some of the soldiers can't even get together a complete set of armor, but the weapons are all standard, and the cavalry is less, and the vast majority are still foot soldiers.
It is worth mentioning that the food, clothing, and housing of these servant troops were all borne by the Wei Empire, resulting in a relatively large annual military expenditure of the Wei State.
However, in order to reduce the burden of the empire, Ran Min has ordered these servants to reclaim the wasteland, build their own armor and weapons, build their own houses, and at the same time use the food produced in the land in exchange for money, which can basically maintain the operation of the capital protectorate.
Rao is like this, the Wei Empire's annual military expenditure is still terrifying!
When the servants of the army were constantly on the way, Geng Ji took the first step to gather the generals of the Japanese state in the servant army.
Most of the people who can serve as generals in the servant army are naturally Wei people, but because of the language barrier, Geng Ji cannot arrange more Wei army soldiers to serve as the generals of the servant army, resulting in a lot of Japanese people at the level of the servant army generals.
So under Geng Ji's summons, twenty-four Japanese generals with evil intentions rushed to meet him.
Originally, I thought it was just a simple routine meeting, or Geng Ji wanted to announce the war against the rebels, but I didn't think that Geng Ji was holding a banquet to entertain them.
Therefore, the Japanese generals all had all kinds of thoughts and frequently toasted to Geng Ji. Geng Ji tasted it lightly, and they all drank it all.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Geng Ji drank the wine glass in his hand, then played with the delicate wine glass, and said with a smile: "The sake of the Wa Kingdom is very mellow, and there is a hint of sweetness in the wine. It's a pity that this sake is too light, not as strong as my Wei wine, believe it or not, I can drink this sake for three catties! ”
"Most of them protect the sea!"
"Haha, the amount of alcohol that most of the people drink is naturally excellent. We've all drunk Wei wine, it's really mellow, and it makes people have an endless aftertaste, but the alcohol content is too high, and we only drank a few glasses before it's a little top! ”
Seeing the Japanese generals present complimenting themselves like this, Geng Ji smiled lightly, but the killing intent in his eyes was even worse.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that rebellions have broken out in various parts of the country, you must already know about it, right? I have just received information that the rebel army, led by Tokugawa Nobunobu, with a command of 100,000 men, has marched towards Kusashi Castle. ”
Hearing this, the Japanese generals seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, and they all expressed their loyalty.
"Tokugawa kept his word, this man was in vain to accept the king's favor! In vain to receive the Emperor! He also didn't want to think about it, if there was no wise leadership of the Great Protector, if there was no strong support from the Great Wei, would the Japanese Guoyan be able to pacify Ezo and bear attacks? ”
"That's it! Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! Please send troops immediately to quell the rebellion! The last general is willing to be a pioneer and make immortal contributions to the protection of the capital! ”
"The last shogun believes that under the wise leadership of the Great Protector, the rebels of Tokugawa will be decided!"
Feeling that the faces of these widows were really ugly, Geng Ji raised his head, looked at the ceiling above, and suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand, and with a "choking" sound, the wine glass suddenly shattered.
At this moment, hundreds of swords and axes suddenly rushed out from the two doors at the back of the hall, and in an instant, they surrounded all the Japanese generals present.
The Japanese generals were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and hurriedly said, "Dadu Hu, what are you doing?" ”
"Don't take Pontho for a fool!"
Geng Ji sneered, stood up and said, "I know, some of you have defected to the enemy, most of them may be traitors, and some of them may still have their hearts set on Great Wei." ”
Seeing Geng Ji's murderous intent, some Japanese generals who had a fluke mentality trembled and said: "Dadu Hu, I didn't rebel!" Although Tokugawa Shouxin sent someone to contact me, and also promised heavy profits to the last general, giving gold and silver to the last general, but the last general's loyalty to the capital protection and the loyalty to the Great Wei can be seen by the sun and the moon! ”
"Yes! Dadu Hu, please be aware of it! I have never defected to the enemy! ”
"Dadu Hu, don't be impulsive! You know the loyalty of the last general, others can surrender to the enemy, and Tokugawa is trustworthy and secretly communicates private funds, but the last general has absolutely none! ”
The Japanese generals were terrified and begged for mercy.
But Geng Ji didn't have any pity at all, and with a decisive wave of his hand, he let the sword and axe men rush forward and kill all the Japanese generals present.
"Kill!"
Because it was a banquet, and according to the rules of the Metropolitan Protectorate, the generals were not allowed to carry weapons when they saw the Metropolitan Protector on weekdays, so before entering this hall, before entering the Metropolitan Protectorate, these Japanese generals were all detained, and in the face of the heavily armed sword and axe hands, they had no room for resistance.
Soon, 200 sword and axe men killed all 24 Japanese generals. But they are generals after all, and they still have a little martial arts and strength, so when they were fighting, they also killed six sword and axe men.
Geng Ji didn't want to poison the wine and food, but it was too risky to do so.
When the Japanese generals were all killed, the entire hall of the Imperial Palace was covered with corpses, dripping with blood, and the strong smell of blood was disgusting. Geng Ji waved his hand and asked people to clean up the hall.
At this time, Li Wei walked into this hall and saw the corpses of the Japanese generals all over the ground, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Geng Jijin: "Dadu Hu, are you too cruel to do this?" Twenty Japanese generals, after all, they are all pulled up by us, how can we say that they also have the grace of understanding, maybe some of the generals did not defect to the enemy, why did you kill them all in one go? ”
At this time, in Li Wei's heart, Geng Ji seemed to have become a murderous person.
But Geng Ji didn't seem to feel guilty at all, instead squinted at the corpses that were carried out, and sneered: "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one." It is true that it is impossible for all of these Japanese generals to defect to the enemy, but most of them have already accepted the bribes of Tokugawa and promised to defect, and the remaining part is by no means in their hearts towards the Great Wei, most of them are some opportunists! ”
"This ......"
"Li Wei, you can't treat these Japanese people with the values of treating our Wei people. For thousands of years, I don't know how many people with lofty ideals have adhered to the morality in their hearts, adhered to the will of loyalty, and kept the festival of humility and retreat! But these Japanese people, who do not obey the king, do not know etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can they be treated the same as my Wei people? ”
Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's it." In any case, the death of these Japanese generals has also created favorable conditions for us to control the servant army. Most of the guards, 50,000 servants have gathered in the school grounds, waiting for your instructions! ”
"Let's go."
Geng Ji then took Li Wei to the school field and climbed on the high platform.
Looking at the servant sergeants and soldiers who were arranged in an orderly manner, wearing red battle clothes and wearing various armors, Geng Ji then waved his hand and asked people to hang the heads of those executed Japanese generals on the high platform, so that this kind of servant army could have a good look.
And as soon as they saw these sudden heads, the non-commissioned officers of the servant army were startled. Many people had already recognized their commanders, and they couldn't help but feel a commotion, and they all exchanged their heads and whispered, and at the same time showed unkind glances to the Wei soldiers on all sides.
