When Zhu Hengshi heard this, he turned around and saw that the young warrior who came to report had an unusual look on his face. He was a little surprised, a little embarrassed and a little angry. He couldn't help but ask: "Jun Xiaolin, what happened?"
"Lord, Commander, go and take a look at these damn beasts!" Kobayashi Kiji said angrily.
"What on earth is going on?" Zhu Hengshi had some vague guesses, but still asked.
"Commander, Mr. Xiao Lin is still young and cannot speak. This is what happened." At this time, another older man hurried over and whispered something to Zhu Hengshi in his ear.
"That's how it is!" Zhu Hengshi also became angry and said to Adeshi: "What a good thing you did!"
"Sir, I did not do such things, they were all done by people with higher officials than me! I dare to swear to the Lord, no, to the Buddha, I have never done such a thing!" Adeshi immediately said
He knelt down and said.
"Whether you did it or not, there will be an investigation! If you are involved, you can't escape even if you swear!" Zhu Hengshi said a few words, turned to the older samurai and said: "Xiyuan Jun,
Take me to see it!"
"What's going on?" Kitabi Genshin, who didn't know what happened and was still a little confused, asked.
"Yuan Xin, you stay here and don't follow me." Zhu Hengshi said and followed Xiyuan Zhengyi.
Beibi Yuanxin pulled Adeshi up from his knees and asked loudly: "What on earth is going on?"
…
…
Zhu Hengshi followed Xiyuan Zhengyi to a place. At this time, the sky had turned white. With the help of the dim light, he looked from a distance and saw a camp. Even in the dim light, he could see that the camp was very simple. As he walked closer, he saw a camp.
Look, he noticed that many tents in the camp were broken. He poked his head in and saw that there was no one inside. Some bedding piled up with unknown things were spread on the ground, but the ground was still wet and wet in some places.
He was wet. He reached out to pick up a quilt and grabbed it hard, but it broke.
He walked out of the tent and looked at the ragged people who were being sorted by the warriors of the Baiyi Guard. Seeing their obvious oriental faces, he said to Nishizono Masaki: "Are they all Han?"
"Commander, they are all Han Chinese, there are no Mongols or Westerners. It is said that they are in the camp on the other side."
"In addition, a pit where people were buried was found near the camp. I took a rough look and found that there were at least thousands of corpses. According to the account of the captured Xilu, the people who were killed before were not buried in that pit, but
There is another place." Xiyuan Zhengyi replied.
"These damn beasts!" Zhu Hengshi said bitterly.
Fuso samurai are probably the first group of people in the world to have a clear concept of a country. Although Fuso implements a feudal state-building system similar to the West, because it is isolated overseas, the local feudal lords have not switched to other monarchs.
Perhaps, a feudal system with Fuso characteristics was gradually formed, and the samurai also had a strong sense of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, which was completely different from the West.
Now they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so they regard the people of the Ming Dynasty as their compatriots. In particular, the appearance of most Xilu is completely different from that of the Orientals, and they feel like compatriots with the Han people even though the difference can be seen at a glance.
Even more intense. Although they usually look down on ordinary people, they are still very angry when they see them being humiliated, abused and even killed in this way.
"Execute all Xilu found in this camp!" Zhu Hengshi ordered.
"Your Majesty, Commander, please think twice." Saizono Zhengyi said: "First of all, this treatment violated the orders of His Majesty and General Xu. Although they certainly would not say that your Majesty did not do a good job after learning about it, they still violated it.
Military order."
"Secondly, if all of them are executed, it will be difficult to continue investigating many things. Therefore, I think the commander should not kill them for the time being."
Xiyuan Zhengyi came to the Ming Dynasty from Fusang not long ago, and his background was unusual. He was a pirate recruited by the Southern Dynasty when it was fighting against the Northern Dynasty. He didn't even have a surname. The surname Xiyuan was given to him and he was not received.
There is not much samurai education, and there is not much concept of country, so I can still analyze it calmly at this time.
"This! No, I can't swallow this breath. Send me an order to pull out the lower-ranking Xilu from this camp and chop off their heads!"
Several warriors on the side were already filled with righteous indignation. After hearing the order, they immediately stretched out their hands to pull out a few people, pushed them to the ground, and cut off their heads with a sword.
"Hang the head on the railing and don't take it off!" Zhu Hengshi said again.
"What's going on? Zhu Hengshi, why did you suddenly start killing people again? I didn't hear the sound of fighting?" At this time, these two sentences suddenly came from the entrance of the camp, and at the same time, two people walked in.
Zhu Hengshi raised his head and took a look, took a few steps forward and bowed and said: "Zhu Hengshi, commander of the Baiyi Guards, has met General Xu and General Song."
These two people were Xu Huizu and Song Sheng. After Xu Huizu gave the order, he led Song Sheng towards this side. When they arrived outside the camp, Zhu Hengshi had already led his troops into the camp. At that time, shouts were heard in the camp.
The two of them waited outside for a while when the shouting of killing stopped. After the shouting of killing stopped, they walked in under escort.
Zhu Hengshi was the highest military commander surrounding the guards of the Xilu camp, which was equivalent to being temporarily awarded the title of general. So Xu Huizu and Song Sheng looked for Zhu Hengshi as soon as they came in, but as soon as they reached the gate of the camp, they heard Zhu Hengshi's murderous orders
.
"Commander Zhu is not polite." Xu Huizu said. At the same time, he glanced around a few times: "Is this the place where the Xilu arranged the prisoners?"
"General Xu, this is not a place where the Westerners arrange prisoners, but a place where they arrange the Ming people they captured!" Zhu Hengshi said.
"People of the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Huizu's face changed slightly: "People captured in Turpan and other places before?"
"Yes, General."
"How many people are there in total now?" Xu Huizu asked again.
"General Xu, according to the statistical book of Xilu, there are more than 15,000 people in total. However, according to the person in charge of Xilu, this book is not very accurate. The actual number of people should be less than this, about one thousand
More than 4,000 people."
"I remember that His Highness King Qin once said that he had settled more than 40,000 people west of Yiwu City, but now there are only so few left." Xu Huizu whispered.
"When there is always prosperity, the people suffer, and when there is death, the people suffer." Song Sheng sighed.
"I dare to ask General Xu, what should be done with these Western captives who guard the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Hengshi said excitedly: "They mistreat the people of the Ming Dynasty so much, they should all be executed without delay!"
"Is Lingchi's execution excessive? Just behead them all and hang their heads up and don't take them off," Song Sheng said.
Before Xu Huizu could say anything, he saw another warrior running over. He said to Zhu Hengshi with a sad and angry look on his face: "Master Commander, to the east, to the east, we have discovered a few more rows of houses."
"Are they the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Hengshi asked.
"Yes, they are all women."
"You mean? Lead the way! I'm going to take a look!" Zhu Hengshi said this and was about to take a step forward when he remembered that Xu Huizu and Song Sheng were still there. He turned around and said to them: "General Xu, Song...
…”
"You don't have to say anything, we will go with you." Xu Huizu said with a slightly trembling voice.
A few of them quickly came to these rows of houses, lifted the door curtain of a house, and immediately saw an unforgettable scene: dozens of disheveled young women huddled on small beds, some even
He was covered in blood, and when he saw someone coming in, he immediately shrank into his quilt. Through the dim light, you could see that some people had obvious scars on their bodies, and even their faces were bruised and bruised; some people were missing an arm, but
Still in the house.
"Are you all citizens of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Hengshi asked.
Hearing that the people who came were speaking Chinese, most people raised their heads and looked at them in surprise. Someone asked: "Who are you?"
"We are the soldiers of heaven! We have defeated the Xilu!" Zhu Hengshi shouted.
"Defeated the Xilu? You mean the Ming Dynasty has defeated them? Is this true?"
"It's true! The Xilu have been defeated and you have been liberated!" Zhu Hengshi said and suddenly started crying.
Along with Zhu Hengshi's cry, the women in the room suddenly shouted madly: "These beasts have been defeated! These beasts have been defeated!"
Then they started wailing loudly, and some of them shouted like crazy, jumping up and waving their arms randomly regardless of their disheveled clothes.
Xu Huizu and Song Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and walked out of the house.
"It's so miserable, it's so miserable. All the Xilu who were guarding them had to be executed in Ling Chi!" Song Sheng said.
"Do you think this matter is only related to the Xilu who guarded them?" Xu Huizu said.
"Could it be that His Majesty will..." Song Sheng guessed.
"Your Majesty will never let this matter go lightly. When it comes to such matters, your Majesty today is completely different from the previous emperors, and also completely different from previous emperors." Xu Huizu said.
"Fifteen thousand pieces of clothing and enough food to feed fifteen thousand people were transported, and a few cooks were called to cook for them."
"The rescued people will be counted according to the city where they were before being captured. After this is completed and the accurate number of people is obtained, people whose native place is under the jurisdiction of the King of Qin, whether they are military doctors or others, will be called to claim them.
My relatives." Xu Huizu ordered one of the guards.
The guard agreed, and then asked: "Can these women be included in the separate statistics?"
"Women here are counted separately."
"Yes, General." The guard ordered to retreat.
Xu Huizu turned to Song Sheng again: "Now, the two of us are waiting here to report the matter to His Majesty after the accurate total number of people comes out."
He looked at the ground again and murmured softly: "I don't know how many more heads will fall to the ground. This land will turn blood red in the future."
