Hearing Lin Fan say to kill 10,000 people first, not only these soldiers were frightened, but Li Jiantai was also frightened. Killing 10,000 people directly was too much!
"This! General, we! We are innocent!"
One person said tremblingly.
"Hmph! You tarsal maggots, the imperial court recruited you to defend the imperial city and feed you. That is the emperor's favor, but you dare to despise it like this!"
"You are eating food from the imperial court, but you dare to violate military discipline. Do you know that those who violate military discipline will be guilty of annihilating the nine tribes?"
"There is a man who goes to people's homes and insults them. If you don't stop him, then no one will be innocent. Who is there? If he is a man, please stand up for me!"
"If no one comes forward, I want you to report it. If we don't get 10,000 people today, I will kill any 10,000 people! Tomorrow, I will come again, and it will still be 10,000 people!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Master Lin!"
Li Jiantai was shocked and worried that Lin Fan would really kill him.
Li Jiantai was frightened back by Lin Fan's look, and all the soldiers were stunned. However, no one identified them, and they were still lucky, thinking that Lin Fan would not really kill them.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! Kill! When will we kill 10,000 dogs?"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Yes! Sir!"
Ten thousand tigers and leopards rode forward, killing anyone on sight, and the soldiers began to beg for mercy.
"Sir! We were wrong! We know we were wrong!"
"Sir, don't kill me. I will report and expose. I know who went to people's homes!"
"Sir, I made a report. I didn't go. I know that several people went. Don't kill me!"
…
The soldiers kept shouting, but Lin Fan didn't listen to the shouts of these people at all. He had just given these people a chance, and if they didn't want them, he would have no choice but to kill them!
"Damn it! This court is so unreasonable, brothers, let's just rebel!"
"Fuck! We are human beings too, so we are being killed at will. Are we being treated as beasts?
Brothers, follow me and kill together!"
"Brothers, we have a large number of people. If we kill them directly, I don't believe it. How can they be our opponents?
Kill them, escape from the imperial city, and go to King Chuang!"
Some among the soldiers shouted.
Some people responded and began to resist fiercely. However, the more they resisted, the more ferociously the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry killed them. Even if there were a hundred people in this group, they were no match for one Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry originally planned to kill 10,000 people, but now they have killed almost 20,000 people. Some people still resisted, so the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry continued to kill.
"Ah! We don't dare anymore! Please don't kill us!"
"Sir! We were wrong. We didn't resist. Please let us go!"
The remaining people all knelt on the ground. Lin Fan ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to stop. He looked at these people indifferently and said, "Who has gone to the people's homes?"
"My lord! Him! All three of them have gone!"
"Sir, I heard them say that they defiled a young girl a few days ago!"
"Sir, these people have committed a heinous crime by robbing the poultry raised in people's homes!"
This time, Lin Fan gave the order, and many people came forward to identify the people who had entered people's homes.
Lin Fan had people pull out those people, and eventually more than a thousand people were pulled out. He asked the Jin Yiwei to take these people to Caishikou and kill them, and pile the bodies of the murdered people at Caishikou for public display.
Only in this way can the anger of the people in the city be calmed!
As for the remaining people, what awaits them will be the most rigorous training. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed in one word!
What Li Jiantai saw was frightening. The five thousand soldiers behind him were also sweating on their foreheads, for fear that they would be the next to lose their heads.
"Hmph! You have taken the food from the imperial court, and your family members have received favors from the imperial court. You must work for the imperial court. From now on, anyone who dares to act lax will be killed without mercy!"
"A bunch of shameless cowards! Wherever the intruder Li Zicheng went, he burned, killed and looted everywhere. You still want to follow him?
Then your family’s lives will be at risk!”
"Even if there is something wrong with the imperial court, it has never treated you like this! If you are still a man, go kill the intruders and fight for peace for the Ming Dynasty. This way, you and your families can have enough to eat!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"This! Sir, we know we were wrong, and we will definitely obey orders in the future!"
"Sir, we will never dare to do it again. From now on, we will do whatever the court asks us to do!"
…
The soldiers all trembled and said, "Nearly 30,000 people died today, and 110,000 people died in an instant, with more than 80,000 people left."
Lin Fan looked at Li Jiantai and said: "Li Shangshu, each of these 80,000 people will be divided into groups of 100, and your 5,000 people will form centurions to manage them separately."
"From today on, you will not go to court. Every day when hundreds of officials go to court, you will lead these people to run around the city and circle the capital!"
"After the rebellion, everyone must train. You must supervise the troops on site. Three days later, I will check your training results. If you are still as lax as now, kill all these people!"
When Lin Fan said the last two words, his voice was cold and without any emotion. After hearing this, all the soldiers felt chills running down their spines.
Li Jiantai looked at the panic and surrender on the faces of these people. He had completely accepted Lin Fan's methods. From today on, he would never question Lin Fan's decision again.
"Master Lin, I will organize them right now and supervise their training. If anyone else fails to abide by the discipline, I will kill them without mercy!"
Li Jiantai said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan led his people out of the military camp and came to Caishikou. They saw no fewer than ten thousand people gathered at Caishikou. The people all looked at the corpses on the ground and cursed.
"Damn it! Someone among them has defiled my wife. He deserves to be killed ten thousand times!"
"Woo! Someone among them has defiled my daughter and deserves to be killed! Mr. Lin did the right thing!"
"Master Lin is really the savior of our Ming Dynasty. Without his decisive killing, these people may still do evil! Killing so many people is right!"
…
Listening to the voices of the people, Lin Fan felt very emotional. If a dynasty did not have strict military discipline, it would make the people suffer!
"Common people! I, Lin Fan, promise that from today on, no one will dare to break into private houses again. However, the bodies of these people are piled up here. They will rot over time and will be infected with diseases. I will kill them
Throw the bodies out!"
Lin Fan said loudly.
"Ah! It's Mr. Lin!"
"Mr. Lin, we just need to take a look and vent our anger. Please hurry up and have these corpses disposed of!"
When the common people saw Lin Fan, they said excitedly.
