Chapter 167 Devastated (the third one, please vote, please subscribe)
"The city of Chongqing was destroyed, and everyone below the governor Chen Shiying died. The Western Army massacred them. They did not seal the sword for three days, and the river was stained."
Counting crosses, but it is as heavy as a thousand stones.
"Your Highness——"
Qin Liangyu reminded.
"Chongqing City is broken!"
Zhu Yixi's eyes were moist and she said in a deep voice: "The Western bandits are tyrannical, and Governor Chen died for his country——"
With that said, the information was handed to the two of them.
Qin Liangyu and Qin Yiming were reading the book, their expressions were in a trance, especially since they couldn't believe it.
It took a while for the two of them to react and said with tears: "I waited, but it was still a step too late after all."
Seeing this, Zhu Yixi said angrily: "The Western thieves are really hateful."
"I would like to help Your Highness to destroy the Western thieves." The aunt and nephew hurriedly said, cupping their hands.
Therefore, Zhu Yixi held a swearing-in meeting in Wan County, gathering squires, merchants, and chieftains from several nearby states, and was bound to destroy the Western bandits.
After gathering the Shizhu native soldiers, Zhu Yixi took 50,000 troops and headed for Chongqing.
Along the way, I had a great time passing through many obstacles.
Zhongzhou, Fengzhou, Fuzhou, and then Chongqing City.
At this time, the city of Chongqing was in a state of chaos.
The city walls collapsed, half of the city was reduced to ruins, corpses were everywhere, and crows and other birds were constantly wandering in the sky.
Wild beasts were constantly roaming among the collapsed houses, and their lips were stained with blood. They were not afraid of the arrival of the army at all.
On the river surface, schools of fish are eager to gather together and are unwilling to leave. They are extremely plump.
"Your Highness, there are many human bones in the bellies of these fish."
Li Jizu said with a nonchalant expression, his eyes fixed on the few fat fish that were caught.
"I'm going to inform you that fishing for fish is not allowed near Chongqing."
Zhu Yixi looked at the blood-black city wall and the fishy smell in her nose that refused to go away for a long time, and couldn't help but command in a deep voice:
"In addition, kill all the wild animals in the city, bury the corpses, and look for the surviving people."
"As you command!"
Tens of thousands of Qin troops searched on a large scale. The meat of wild beasts was extremely tempting to them, much more disgusting than the direct disgust of fish.
"Your Highness!" Qin Liangyu became more and more sentimental as he got older, and his eyes were red: "Let us also search. It is very convenient for the soldiers to climb up and down."
"Can!"
Zhu Yixi nodded and focused on Qin Yiming: "General Qin, your butt is okay!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I applied the ointment and everything is fine."
Qin Yiming felt hot and said hurriedly.
I was beaten before and had long been forgotten.
"That's good!" Zhu Yixi nodded with a smile.
Compared with Qin Liangyu, Zhu Yixi's target was Qin Yiming.
Qin Liangyu is too loyal and too selfish. Naturally, such a person can be 100% assured, but he cannot be trusted.
For example, Ming Yingzong knew very well that Yu Qian was an important minister of the country and an important minister who could turn the tide, but he was so stubborn that he must be executed.
The public is public and the private is private.
In front of the Ming Dynasty and himself, the Emperor Jingmen valued himself more.
Similarly, Zhu Yixi also has selfish motives.
Although Nan Ming is important, it is not as important as himself.
Just like why he kept Zuo Liangyu, he just wanted to block him in the middle, so as not to upset Nan Ming's group of people.
Therefore, people like Qin Yiming, who have shortcomings and take care of both public and private affairs, are more likeable.
Qin Liangyu felt quite worried when she saw the two chatting more and more happily. She understood Zhu Yixi's thoughts, but she did not stop them.
Because Zhu Yixi was originally from the clan, and in a sense, he could also represent the Ming Dynasty.
After chatting for a while and glancing at Qin Liangyu, Zhu Yixi's eyes returned to the rubble, exploring carefully.
"Your Highness, the city has not been explored yet, so be careful of the danger."
Sun Xuan jumped up with her long legs and stretched out her hand to stop him.
"It's okay. There are hundreds of personal guards protecting you. Our people are everywhere. What are you afraid of?"
Zhu Yixi shook her head and walked away.
When he got deeper into Chongqing, he realized that the scene in front of him was still beyond his expectation.
A large number of human organs were randomly abandoned in the streets and alleys. Many children, who were only a few years old and could not even walk, were stabbed to death with knives and guns and hung on the roof beams, doors and windows.
The women were brutally raped and left with their eyes open and their bodies covered with disgrace.
When he entered the house, he saw a woman dying with anger on her face. Beside her, the child was thrown on the table, her husband was killed, and the bodies of her family members were right in front of him. He wanted to die but could not.
The tragic sight of each family is unbearable to look at.
"Son, please speak, son——"
At this time, a ragged woman with disheveled hair emerged from a certain gap, holding her baby in her arms, and shouted.
Seeing everyone, she stood up quickly, raised her son and said, "Save my son quickly, please save my son -"
"I'll give you anything, no matter what!"
As she said this, she actually tore off her clothes and stood naked in front of everyone. She was covered in bruises, redness and swelling. She said nonchalantly and wildly: "I can do anything. I can save my son soon."
"Your Highness——"
The crowd gathered around and looked alert.
Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes and looked up.
The child in his arms has shriveled up and is lifeless.
"Take her down!"
Zhu Yixi sighed.
"No, save my son quickly, he was just thrown, he can survive..."
The woman was struggling, holding the baby in her arms, and yelling. Her eyes had already lost any aura.
"A mother without children is worse off than dead."
When Qin Liangyu saw this, he couldn't bear to say: "Your Highness is kind and did not expose her delusion, but if she continues, life or death will be even more uncertain. It is better to send her on her way..."
Zhu Yixi shook her head, with a hint of unbearability in her eyes: "Treat her first, if it doesn't work, then reunite her mother and son."
He knew that such a crazy person had little hope, but after all, it was a human life, and it was within his power, so why not try?
When they got here, Zhu Yixi's nose was already filled with the smell of corpse.
Many corpses were laid randomly. In the past ten days, the eyes, noses, or stomachs of the corpses were all mutilated, and many livers had disappeared.
It doesn't take much thinking to know that it must be caused by birds or wild animals pecking at it.
The injuries and claw marks on the corpse were more obvious.
However, when she thought that it was not man-made, Zhu Yixi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bring Zhang Dingguo here and let him see the masterpiece of the Great Western Army!"
"Yes!" Sun Xuan covered her mouth and nose and responded hurriedly.
Soon, Li Dingguo was taken to Chongqing City. He looked at the devastation and lowered his head without saying a word.
Zhu Yixi sneered and said: "I know you, the military discipline is the strictest in the Western Army and never disturbs the people. However, you can't control the behavior of other soldiers and horses and let them do whatever they want."
"This is the true face of the Daxi Army. Why are you so ashamed?"
After a long time, Li Dingguo raised his head, opened his lips, and said: "This is just a necessary sacrifice to establish a great cause."
After hearing this, Zhu Yixi sneered and said: "In order for Zhang Xianzhong to become king and emperor, he would sacrifice and injure millions or tens of millions of people. Is this worth it?"
"Zhang Dingguo, you were just a beggar, how are you different from the people in the city? What does the war have to do with them?"
