The massacre in Izumo involved hundreds of thousands of people. Anyone who actively participated in the anti-theft alliance or was even involved with the anti-theft alliance would be killed without mercy.
There will definitely be people here who want to kill someone, but in order to show their loyalty and ability to do things, the Thirty-One Kingdom would definitely rather kill someone by mistake than let them go.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.
If Li Zhen is blamed afterwards because he did things poorly, then it would be better to kill more people. Who cares how many people are killed anyway?
Li Zhen does not understand the situation in Izumo and does not want to understand it. He only needs to know that this massacre can be burned into the hearts of everyone in the Ten Thousand Stars Islands. In this way, no one will dare to rebel in the future.
heart.
Only blood and tears can be remembered in people's hearts.
At the border of Izumo Country, Li Zhen and others sat leisurely in a temporary pavilion, drinking wine, tasting delicious food, and waiting for news from the front.
Outside the pavilion, Ancestor Yougui, Tu Liusun, Zheng Jiao and others were waiting respectfully.
Towards evening, a Three Tribulation Immortal came outside the pavilion, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Your Majesty, all those who participate in the anti-theft alliance will be annihilated."
"How many people were killed?"
Li Zhen drank the wine in the glass and asked softly.
"A total of more than 100,000 people were recorded."
The other party replied.
When Jiang Shang in the pavilion heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to have 100,000 people dead. He couldn't help but feel resentful and asked without hesitation: "Really killed so many people?"
"I don't think there will be any lies."
Li Zhen replied calmly.
Jiang Shang asked again: "Is it necessary to kill so many people?"
Li Zhen saw Jiang Shang's excitement and resistance, and poured himself a glass of wine calmly. The Ghost Ancestor and others outside the pavilion lowered their heads and did not dare to look into the pavilion.
Li Zhen signaled Jiang Shangmo to get excited and explained: "If the anti-bandit alliance had not happened, then these 100,000 people would not have died, and even if there was a rebellion in the future, there would not have been such a large-scale killing.
"
"Why do we need to kill so many people? The main reason is that the anti-theft alliance has really shaken my rule in the Ten Thousand Stars Islands. This is absolutely not allowed."
"If I don't act ruthlessly this time, will organizations like the Anti-Piracy Alliance appear again in the future? The answer is yes, because the countries in the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago are under military rule, and in order to better govern and control them in a short period of time,
The power structures of various countries have not been purged, they have only been tied up with ropes. As a result, many people will secretly feel rebellious because their rights have not been lost. As long as their rights are still there, they will have ambitions."
"This anti-theft alliance is a good example."
Jiang Shang didn't seem to understand, but he could tell that Brother Zhen had a reason to do this, and it was also to reduce the number of deaths in the future.
"My thoughts are not only applicable to the Wanxing Islands, but also apply to the Nanping Domain."
Li Zhen continued, as if he was explaining to Jiang Shang, and also as if he was trying to convince himself, explaining that deep down in his heart, he also resisted so many people.
Li Zhen is a decisive person who kills, and he will never show mercy when he should kill, but he rarely kills, and every time he kills the other person, there is an unforgivable reason.
"Nowadays, people in the Nanping Territory basically know that the Ten Thousand Stars Islands are under my rule. If the matter of the anti-theft alliance is not handled with thunderous means and spreads to the Nanping Territory, the countries in the Nanping Territory that have been surrendered by force will
Will he also feel rebellious?"
Li Zhen drank the wine in the cup, stood up, looked in the direction of the imperial capital of the Izumo Kingdom, and said: "The Nanping Domain has a population of one billion, and its resources and strength are several times that of the Wanxing Islands. Once Nanping Domain
If the same thing happens in the Domain, the harm will be much greater than the Ten Thousand Stars Islands, because that is my foundation."
"The 110,000 people from the Idea Cloud Kingdom were killed to be seen by all the countries in the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago and also for the Nanping Territory. Tell them that this is the fate they will face if they dare to rebel."
"Although I don't understand any big principles, I know that governing a country cannot rely solely on force to suppress it. It requires a combination of kindness and power."
Jiang Shang expressed his opinion.
When Li Zhen heard this, he smiled and was very surprised that Jiang Shang would have such an opinion. In his mind, Jiang Shang was still a carefree child, who had no worries about eating and drinking every day, was undiminished in his playfulness, and was happy and happy.
"If you can say the words 'benevolence and power', you have made great progress!"
Li Zhen suggested: "It seems that after returning to the imperial capital, I have to find a good teacher for you and teach you well. You will definitely become my brother's right-hand man in the future."
"Pull him down!"
When Jiang Shang saw Li Zhen bringing the topic to him, he suddenly had a conflicted expression on his face.
Li Zhen didn't force it. After all, this was something that Senior Jiang and Senior Wan should worry about. As long as he didn't bring Jiang Shang into the ditch, it would be fine.
"What you just said about 'applying both kindness and power' is right, but the country of China has developed too fast in my hands, and will develop even faster in the future. In this way, the state power institutions that it submits to cannot be eliminated, because governing a country is not
It is not an easy thing. Let them govern themselves. This will save me and the court a lot of energy. Of course, it will also cause some troubles. There are pros and cons, but in this case, force deterrence is the best solution. Of course, these methods are
Temporarily, as time goes by, the imperial court will slowly penetrate, slowly take over the government affairs of the subject country, and assimilate it, and when the time is right, it can change the strategy of governing the country."
Li Zhen didn't have much involvement in court affairs, but that doesn't mean he didn't have strategies for governing the country. Don't forget, he was the first choice for the prince back then. He couldn't become the prince based on his spiritual talent and strength alone. He could only be a
Prince of Zhenguo.
Jiang Shang heard so much and said no more. Everyone outside the pavilion couldn't help but admire Li Zhen after hearing what he said.
Li Zhen's work is never as simple as it seems on the surface.

The sea thousands of miles away from Izumo Country.
The boy sat on the back of a giant sea turtle, waiting for his sister to return from the underwater canyon. He thought he would have to wait for several days or even longer, but he never thought that only half a day had passed when a white light appeared under the sea, and then his sister flew out of the sea.
"elder sister!"
The boy was very happy to see his sister and exclaimed: "Sister got the dragon ball so soon?"
The elder sister looked embarrassed at this time, and her eyes were full of disappointment. It was obvious that the matter of seizing the Dragon Ball was not going well.
The elder sister came to the younger brother, shook her head and said: "Don't talk about the dragon beads, the elder sister has been lingering at the door, and the water palace inside has not been entered at all."
"What?!"
The younger brother was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said: "The water palace down there is so powerful? My sister can't get in?"
"There are endless water monsters at the gate of the Water Palace. They seem to have been corroded by something, and they are violent and crazy. My sister really can't break through their obstruction, so she can only withdraw first."
My sister was very helpless, and at the same time she was still a little scared. If she didn't have a valuable treasure with her and broke in rashly, all her bones would be eaten.
"What should I do?"
The younger brother looked disappointed and said, "Otherwise we won't go in."
My sister shook her head and said firmly: "I will definitely go in, but I have to think of a way."
As she spoke, an idea flashed in my sister's mind, and she had a plan in mind, but she was not sure that the other party would help.
