Wang Ziteng is really a ruthless person, he is ruthless to his enemies, and even more ruthless to himself!

Great Xia implemented the mode of confinement of the Western Regions, and Suzhou was already the westernmost point that the center could actually control.

To the west of Suzhou, it is now completely controlled by the rebels of the Western Regions, and the imperial army stationed in Hami and other places earlier fought and retreated at the beginning of the rebellion, retreating to Jiayuguan to garrison and defend.

In addition to the army scouts and the secret agents of the Dragon Guard, there are almost no officials and garrisons of the imperial court in various parts of the Western Regions, so there is no talk of internal and external cooperation.

After several tentative attacks in a row, Wang Ziteng agreed on a crazy plan with Liu Hong and others.

On the seventh day of the eighth month, Wang Ziteng led 10,000 elites from Suzhou to the south, passed through the Qilian Mountains, and then took advantage of the high mountains to cover them, along the Qilian Mountains all the way to the west, and arrived at 300 miles south of the sandbank.

After a few days of repair, he climbed the mountain again without fear of life and death, and climbed the snow-capped mountain with strong willpower.

At this time, Wang Zitengbu had been reduced by more than 2,000 troops from the initial 10,000 troops, almost all of whom were sacrificed on the difficult way to cross the Qilian Mountains and the Great Snow Mountains.

At the same time, Ningxia Zhongwei commander Tongzhi Changwei also led an army of 10,000 troops through the rare northern desert north of the Great Wall and appeared north of the sandbank.

Nature has taken the lives of more than 4,000 Great Xia elites, but at the same time, it has also honed the powerful spirit of the army to regard death as home.

In just half a day, the sandbar, which was an important supply town for the rebels, was recovered by the imperial court. Thousands of troops then broke up and attacked the rebels' supply lines.

Wang Ziteng led the integrated 10,000 men across the underworld and appeared less than thirty miles behind the rebels.

On September 18, Liu Hong, who received the news, ordered the whole army to attack and began a counterattack against the rebels who had besieged Jiayuguan for several months.

Under the front and rear attacks, the 150,000 rebels who lost their food and grass supplies were directly defeated by the imperial army totaling more than 70,000, and Ju Lingtai, the king of Gaochang who was in charge of commanding the coalition army, was killed by arrows in the chaos.

The rest of the high-ranking people in the Western Regions either died or fled, and the 150,000 rebels were beheaded 30,000 and more than 50,000 captured......

It is said that this rebel army has been almost pacified by now, and Liu Hong has already planned to follow the usual practice to put up a list of people and implement the way of kinghood.

In the name of General Pingxi, Wang Ziteng ordered the 80,000 reserve troops stationed in Hexi to cross the Jiayu Pass and divide his troops to pursue the fleeing rebels.

The most shocking thing is that Wang Ziteng, who had acted cautiously in the past, ordered the prisoners to be killed despite everyone's opposition.

All the 50,000 rebels captured in the Western Regions were beheaded and set up a Beijing Temple outside Shazhou City.

Later, he threw a military and government affairs to the crown prince Liu Hong, and he led people to start from Shazhou and go all the way to the west to slaughter the three kingdoms of Shanshan, Chechi, and Hami in the Western Regions.

According to Liu Hong's report, Wang Ziteng almost wiped out a country in three days.

There are soldiers and civilians in the city, but there are those who resist, and there is no mercy for killing. The monarchs and ministers of the Three Kingdoms, except for those who surrendered, were all beheaded by Wang Ziteng.

According to the information received by Liu Hong, at least half of them were slaughtered by Wang Ziteng.

"Damn, Wang Ziteng is crazy!"

Jia Cong really couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth, he didn't even have to think about it, this matter would set off an irrepressible storm in the DPRK.

No matter how domineering the Great Xia monarchs and ministers are in their hearts, the benevolence and righteousness on the face must be maintained. This is the basis for the Celestial Empire to maintain the tributary system for thousands of years, and the word benevolence and righteousness cannot be abandoned for the time being.

Killing prisoners, slaughtering cities and destroying the country, who was the last one to do this? What's the end?

I can't remember! But in this way, none of them ended well.

Jia Cong secretly glanced at Liu Heng, who was sitting on the main seat, and the emperor's face sank like water, and he always remained silent.

Several important ministers in the tent had not yet recovered from the content of the report, and the great eunuch Xia Shouzhong was already trembling slightly, pursing his lips.

Grandpa Tian, what Wang Ziteng did this time directly subverted the ruling foundation of the previous dynasties against the fetters region.

If one is not done well, the four sides of the state government and the vassal parliaments are indignant......

"Your Majesty, the minister is done."

Jia Cong respectfully put the song on the table, and whispered to remind the emperor who had been silent for a long time.

The big guy doesn't speak, the pressure in the account is so great!

Liu Heng only hummed and continued to remain silent.

In the end, it was Xia Lingxing, the second assistant of the cabinet, who spoke first: "The old minister thinks that His Majesty should immediately issue an edict to order Wang Ziteng to stop slaughtering the city, and if he continues to kill, there will be no one in the Western Regions." ”

"It's too late, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sent out of Shazhou on September 24, calculate the time, the sixteen countries of the Western Regions have already been slaughtered by the prince."

Although the British Duke Zhang Yue had never been to the Western Regions, he also knew that most of the so-called Sixteen Kingdoms in the Western Regions were no more than the size of a city.

The most populous is Gaochang, with only a few hundred thousand people.

In the face of the elite of the imperial court led by Wang Ziteng, it is estimated that most of the sixteen kingdoms have been wiped out.

Wait for the emperor's will to send thousands of miles to the Western Regions, and then send it to the front of the army...... The daylilies are cold!

Xia Lingxing's brows furrowed, and he said helplessly: "Yes, it's too late." For the sake of today's plan, the imperial court can only send troops to the Western Regions as soon as possible to re-station, and transfer officials to forcibly withdraw the feudal domain and set up counties, and implement the way of kinghood. ”

He added meaningfully: "Your Majesty had better make a decree to strip Prince Tengyi of his official position, order someone to escort him back to Beijing to punish his crimes, and give justice to those innocent people of the Western Regions who died in vain." ”

This innocent person died in vain...... My Pavilion Boss, where did you come from to die innocently? It's really innocent, we can't admit it!

The emperor didn't nod, but looked at Jia Cong, who was eating melons on the side: "Jia Cong, what do you think?" ”

Yes?

"The minister thinks that what General Wang did is actually not much wrong......

Well?

Jia Cong's answer surprised the monarchs and ministers in the tent, and the contradictions between Jia, Lin, and Wang were clear.

Didn't you fall into the well this time?

"The minister thinks that since the countries of the Western Regions dare to rebel against the Celestial Empire, they should be prepared to bear the wrath of the Celestial Empire. Otherwise, the people of the Han family who died in the Western Regions, and the soldiers of Great Xia who died in the battle of counterinsurgency, would not have died in vain? ”

Jia Cong bowed his hand to everyone and said: "The monarchs seem to have forgotten that when the Western Regions rebelled, those innocent people and merchants who died innocently under the rebels' swords, what are their crimes?" Just because they are Han Chinese? I don't say that the people under the rule of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions are all guilty people, but I think that the people killed by General Wang should be people who resisted the imperial army with weapons. ”

"Since you are holding a knife against Wang Shi, you are not innocent!"

"At least Master Wang will not slaughter unarmed civilians and kill the guilty, what's wrong with General Wang?"

At the beginning, the Western Regions followed the rebellion of the Xining Army, and the Han people who originally lived in the Western Regions as merchants can be said to be the first victims.

What's wrong with them? Just because he has food and money in his hands, he has become the soul of the rebels in the Western Regions.

Moreover, many of the people under the rule of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions coveted the wealth of the Han people, and did all kinds of evil acts of burning, killing and looting.

It's like hell, this is the scene of the Western Regions described to Jia Cong by the people who fled to Hexi at the beginning.

Jia Cong hated Wang Ziteng a lot, but he shouldn't have died under such a strange reason.

If Wang Ziteng dies because of this today, and the people of his Rijia family lead troops to the battle, will they also be escorted back to Beijing for similar strange reasons?

As for the trapping and killing of prisoners......

In the military law of Great Xia, there has never been a rule that says that prisoners are not allowed to be killed, at least not on the surface!

Jia Cong bowed to Liu Heng: "The minister thinks that Wang Ziteng's only crime is to destroy the domain without an edict." However, the general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, the Western Regions are too far away from the capital, there are some flaws, His Majesty will issue an edict to apply for punishment, there is no reason to win the battle and be punished......"

"Hmm."

Liu Heng looked at the few people in the tent, Zhang Yue was smiling and nodding at Jia Cong, Xia Lingxing frowned and didn't speak, Shen Shi and Wen Lian looked solemn and silent.

"First return the prince to the capital, Zhang Qing and Xia Qing ......"

"The old minister is here."

"The Governor's Mansion will discuss and choose a suitable person to replace Wang Ziteng. The cabinet drafted a strategy for the abolition of the feudal domain and the establishment of the county, and the dispatch of people should raise grain and grass. Just in time for the year ago, the center officially took over the Western Regions. ”

Liu Heng seemed to have made up his mind, and issued one after another: "As for the other feudal states and feudal states, let the Dragon Guards keep an eye on it recently, dare to be subordinate, and destroy it!" ”

When Jia Cong walked out of the imperial tent with a few people, it was already dawn.

The old man Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You young people dare to think and dare to say, Xiao Jia Cong, the future of the Great Xia military will be handed over to you." ”

"You really look up to me, in fact, the junior was also frightened by General Wang's operation just now."

It's fucking crazy!

slaughtering cities and destroying the country, killing prisoners, and killing the lord of the vassal country......

Any crime is enough to cut down the lord and dismiss the official and go to prison to be punished severely, that is, just in time when Great Xia was planning to abolish the feudal domain and establish a county, and strengthen the centralization of power.

But in the past few years, the emperor couldn't protect him even if he wanted to.

Zhang Yue raised his finger and pointed to the imperial tent, and said in Jia Cong's ear: "How dare Wang Ziteng do this? This is...... Ideas, get it. ”

Jia Cong didn't understand anything, he nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Then General Wang must be able to understand, dare to do this, at least the younger generation can't be so crazy." ”

"You're not bad, you can put aside your hatred and say something fair today."

Zhang Yue turned his gaze to the three Xia Lingxing who were discussing in a whisper while walking not far away, and smiled helplessly: "The old man also knows that they have no selfish intentions, but the difference between civil and military is so wonderful, they just don't think so, and they have to do that." But in this way, it is too unfair to our martial artists! ”

Jia Cong nodded subconsciously, and the gap between Wenchen and the generals was inadvertently widening more and more.

There is no mercy to talk about in war, but politics will not work without mercy.

This is an unsolvable chess, unless there is only the voice of Daxia left on the chessboard, and it is truly the king of the world.

……

The news of the suppression of the rebellion in the Western Regions soon spread throughout the Iron Net Mountain, and it was said that such a great victory would have caused the camp to be full of joy a long time ago.

But the actions of the commander Wang Ziteng made the civil and military officials not know how to evaluate it, and they all set their eyes on the emperor's tent, wanting to see the emperor's attitude clearly.

However, except for a limited number of important ministers, no one could guess the emperor's thoughts.

On the contrary, when Mrs. Xing was talking to the girl boy at home about this matter, she said crookedly: "Wang Ziteng is afraid that he will be idle......"

"How does my wife know?"

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Cong, who asked her in surprise: "Isn't this obvious?" Wang Ziteng connected the two rebellions in Xining and the Western Regions, with such a great achievement, what is it to kill a few people? Even if it is really to appease the anger of the people, it is impossible to really punish him, otherwise who will die for His Majesty in the future? The merits and demerits are offset, and at most it is already very good to go to a real job and give a casual gift. ”

Baoyu's expression was extremely complicated, Wang Ziteng was his own uncle, and he was very good to him. But when I think of my uncle killing so many people......

"I don't even know what to say, how can my uncle kill so many people? Shouldn't the kings be implemented to pacify the places after winning the war? ”

Daiyu remembered the tragedy in the Western Regions that Jia Cong had told her before, her face turned pale, and then her expression became resolute.

She shook her head: "How can there be immortals in war?" As long as you have a sword in your hand, you are an enemy, and kindness to your enemies is cruelty to yourself. If all the rebels are not killed, the Western Regions will never be peaceful, let alone the way of kingization. ”

"Sister Lin, why do you say that?"

Baoyu looked at Daiyu who was shouting and shouting in surprise, and she couldn't overlap her at this time with the figure who was weak and couldn't take care of herself, and was about to cry when she saw falling flowers.

Daiyu said leisurely: "The premise of the way of Wang Hua is stability, otherwise the officials will not be able to get out of the yamen, how can they promote benevolence and righteousness?" ”

Mrs. Xing didn't understand this, she just relied on what she had seen and heard over the years to make basic judgments.

However, she is the daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, and she subconsciously feels that what Daiyu said is right.

The daughter-in-law of the military general's family should be like this.

On the contrary, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xiangyun are a little worse, in the end, they have been raised in the deep boudoir for a long time, and their knowledge is not as good as Daiyu, who has traveled thousands of miles.

As for Xiao Xichun, who gnawed on the jerky...... Forget it, she's still a child, and I guess she can't understand these at all.

It seems that in order to reflect Madame Xing's judgment, it was sent to the Western Regions together with the holy decree summoning Wang Ziteng back to Beijing, as well as the emperor's disposition of Wang Ziteng.

The general of Pingxi and the prince of Ningyuan County, Teng, had meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, but he killed the lord of the vassal state without the permission of the holy decree to destroy the country and eliminate the vassal domain, which caused panic among the people of the Western Regions and was contrary to the benevolence and righteousness of the king of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Remembering his great contribution to the country, he was removed from the rank of general of Pingxi, removed from his post of commander of nine provinces, and demoted to the first rank. The edict ordered him to return to Beijing with the title of secretary of the Ministry of War to prepare for the establishment of the Great Xia Military Academy to educate talents for the country.

When this news came out, there was an uproar in Iron Net Mountain.

The civil officials felt that their impeachment had been responded to by the emperor in the past few days, and although it did not achieve the desired effect, at least the emperor had reduced Wang Ziteng's marquis title and removed him from his actual position.

However, the generals did not feel that the emperor had handled it unfairly, because they all saw that the Wang family had completely gotten rid of the predicament this time and came back to life.

On the day the holy decree was sent, the emperor borrowed the name of Yuan Chun to send an edict to Wang Ziteng's wife, asking him to send someone to Jinzhou to pick up Wang Ziteng's outer mother and son back to Beijing.

When Jia Cong learned the news, his whole body was numb, and the emperor was too damaged.

Is this a reward for Wang Ziteng or does he want the royal family to be restless? Good guy, it's true that the life of the Wang family has been saved, but the Wang family will definitely have a restless house from now on, and if it is not good, it will have to make a drama of the rise of concubines and the competition of wives and concubines.

……

Warat Khan...... No, it is now the Metropolitan Governor of the Northern Protectorate of Daxia An, and Wang Yilan of Shunyi County, who came to find Jia Cong on the second day of the official start of the hunt.

After the news of the Western Regions spread in the Iron Net Mountain yesterday, Yilan's back was cold.

It's so dangerous, Warat almost became the second Western Regions.

"If you have something to say, you look at me with such eyes, I'm afraid!"

Jia Cong shuddered, and Yi Lan put away his resentful eyes.

He opened his mouth and plucked up the courage to ask: "Uncle Yongfeng, you give me a thorough explanation, in case Ah Luo is too unwilling to belong to Great Xia and raise troops to resist Wang Shi, Wara...... Will the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate also be slaughtered? ”

Jia Cong looked at Yi Lan, whose eyes were full of red silk, thought about it and said truthfully: "It's not enough to slaughter the city, but if Ah Luo Taizhen leads a large army to fight against Wang Shi, it is inevitable to fight." As for how many people will die, to be honest, I can't guarantee it. ”

As Daiyu said before, the premise of Wanghua is stability. Without a stable environment, everything is in the air.

If Arotai dares to resist, the Hexi army will immediately move north and completely kill all the resistance forces of the Anbei Protectorate.

"I ......"

Yilan hesitated, sighed and made a decision.

"Uncle Yongfeng, I want to go back to the grassland and go back with the angels of the imperial court!"

Jia Cong understood what Yilan was doing this, but he couldn't give an answer.

"This matter still has to be done by yourself to your majesty, but you have this heart is very surprising to me, I have to say, you are a real man, I admire you!"

Yilan smiled bitterly: "Let's start and finish well, after all, I am their former khan." ”

It was not only Yilan who was frightened by Wang Ziteng's bloody methods, but the envoys of the feudal domains in the hunting ground of Iron Net Mountain were all trembling, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would provoke the emperor, and the slaughter of the city and the destruction of the country would be staged on their own land.

In particular, the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, after seeing the officials of the Ministry of Rites, nodded their heads and flattered them to the extreme, and no longer dared to mention the matter of letting the Celestial Empire "return" Changbai Mountain.

As for the Ministry of Rites' request to them to ask the rebellious people of the former Dongping palace who had fled to Goryeo, the Goryeo envoys nodded like chickens pecking rice, hoping that this would quickly spread the news back to the royal city, and let the king tie up all the people and horses of the Qian family and send them to the north bank of the Yalu River.

……

Woowoowoo......

The events of the court had little effect on the hunt, especially on the young men who were screaming.

After Jia Cong sent Yilan away, he changed into a strong suit and stepped on a war donkey and left the camp.

Today, he discussed with Baoyu, Wei Ruolan and others that he wanted to compete with the group of prisoners in Guozijian to test riding and shooting.

This competition was originally just a contest of the teenagers' will, but because of the invitation of He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as a judge, and the participation of the two Niangniang's younger brothers and nephews, it soon became a grand event for the teenagers in the hunting ground.

The sons and nephews of Wenchen and the nephews of military generals were divided into two factions, and the number of people who participated in the competition soon reached nearly 100 people.

not only wanted to be the judge of this competition with He Yaomin, but also came up with a great reward.

The first three of the riding and archery competition were given from the six-pin Zhongxian lieutenant, and the first three of the poetry and writing competition were given from the six-pin Chenglang Sanguan.

If you enter the top three in both tests, you will be given a five-grade dismissal official and a one-grade promotion to a senior official.

As soon as the news spread, there were even more teenagers who were eager to try, including almost the entire hunting ground.

When Jia Cong arrived at the school field, there were young men in fresh clothes and angry horses everywhere, and there were girls sitting on the high platform.

Jia Cong, who was riding a war donkey, became the focus of attention as soon as he entered the school field, after all, the donkey with pigtails and grinning and spitting at the horses around him was unique and unique!

"Brother Cong, ...... here"

As soon as Wei Ruolan shouted, she was interrupted by the scholar next to her, only to hear the scholar say leisurely: "Yongfeng Bo is the only disciple of Mr. Qingteng, and he is a Confucian talent, so he should naturally come to our side!" ”
