Chapter 702

Liu's army marched into Nanjing. What they showed was their most powerful side.

This is also Liu Bu's original intention, so that these people can see the power of Liu Jun, and then dare not easily fight or jump out to fight.

Some people hide among the people, so that they dare not and can't find out. They don't know who the enemy is. It's easy to jump out. If they kill innocent people indiscriminately, it will also discredit their Liu family army.

Although the upper class of Liu Jiajun is led by aristocrats such as Liu Bu, the core and elite of Liu Jiajun are still people representing ordinary people, such as Liu Zhongyong, Xiao Ning, Liu Kang, Mao Shunli, etc. these people are ordinary soldiers who have become upstarts because of their accumulated military achievements.

To replace Zhu Ming and rule this place, the support of the people he needs is also very important. Unlike the Taizu emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the alien rule and won the country. Such a winner can be said to be a national hero and shining through the ages.

The Liu family is relatively different, even more because he is an official of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, he is the servant of the Zhu family. The slave creates the opposition of the master, which is not in line with the mainstream values of the contemporary era.

I believe that even if it is spread in the Liu family, they will not recommend and praise such things.

Therefore, they must compete for popular support and public opinion in other aspects.

Of course, after the rise of the Liu family, he has always been very smooth, with the wind and water, doing very well, and has not been in any adversity, so he has not done anything too much.

After crossing Zhuque street, Liu Bu directly entered the Imperial Palace, entered from the Donghua gate, went straight to the Imperial City, and then boarded the Taihe hall. He just saluted next to the throne, and then returned to his east palace to hold a banquet in honor of these generals.

Today is also the day for him to reward the three armed forces. After several days of calculation, they have listed the list of meritorious persons and recipients. These people will receive all kinds of rewards. Some will get luxury houses, fields and shops, and others will get treasures, money and food and beautiful women.

All these things are obtained from the enemy, which is also the ruthless and cruel side of the war. The winners take all and the losers have nothing.

Let's not mention anything else. For example, the most brilliant and vast Duke Xu's Government in Nanjing used to exist like a palace. Duke Xu's government is the sea god needle in Nanjing, which is supreme.

However, when the city of Nanjing was broken and Duke Xu died in the war, the Duke Xu's government was also owned by others. What is more cruel is that all the men in the government were distributed as slaves, either imprisoned or distributed as slaves, and the women were distributed as booty to the officers and soldiers.

Moreover, these also extended to all officers and soldiers participating in the urban defense war. Although these officers and soldiers died in the war, Liu Jun got a roster and liquidated these people. All their property was confiscated and their families were distributed as slaves.

This is the characteristic of this era. It brings disaster to families and innocent people.

This makes Liu Jun have a large number of slaves, which will be shared with meritorious people. It can be said that most of their officers have received money, food and beautiful women.

Here, the cruelty of the war is fully revealed. Once the war is defeated, there is nothing, there is no way out and there is no other way out.

Because Liu Bu and his ruling group also understand one thing very well. Even if they win over these people again, it is useless. Their hatred is blood feud. The two sides cannot reconcile, and only one side falls.

That's why Liu Bu will say: If heaven is affectionate, heaven is also old. The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life. My feelings.

The city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty was conquered, and the former powerful nobles were turned into slaves and became the booty of the new master. For example, their top general Liu Zhongyong won a marquis house, with hundreds of slaves and countless money and food.

Liu Zhongyong did not refuse to accept all these things. The whole palace city was full of joy, but no one cared about the sad cry of the losers outside the city.

What nobody cares more is the remains of those officers and soldiers who died in the battle in Caoxie gorge. Because these people died in the battle against Liu Jun, they can't get the treatment of martyrs. Even their families are prohibited from converging. They directly dug a huge pit and buried it. This is a very inhumane practice in the contemporary era of paying attention to burial for peace and pursuing burial.

Even after the head of a condemned prisoner is cut off, his family members are allowed to recover the body. Only those heinous and heinous criminals are not allowed to converge and let them be exposed to the sun and rain and eaten by insects and ants, which is also one of the reasons for the panic in the city.

On this matter, Qian Qianyi and situ only begged Liu Bu to open up, but Zhou Hui just said a cold word and pushed it back. He said with Yin pity: "the two adults are pleading for the enemy."

These officers and soldiers of the Ming army who died in the fight against Liu Jun are defined as enemies and unforgivable opponents. Those who surrender will get their understanding. Only those who fight against Liu Jun must be punished and never spared. This is a matter of principle.

Zhou Hui's words made Qian Qianyi and situ pale and sweating. They didn't mention it again.

Zhou Hui, also known as green bamboo snake, has a poisonous mouth and a cruel heart. Those he targets are either dead or imprisoned. His wife and daughter are slaves and are humiliated by others.

Qian Qianyi sighed: "our ability is really limited. Let the dead go with the wind? We should seek more things for the living."

Especially after the death of Duke Xu, most of his subordinates died with him, and his bodies also fell into the hands of Liu Jun, but Liu Jun did not treat them differently after he obtained the body of this important person.

If it was another army, it might cut off its head to intimidate and intimidate his subordinates and force them to surrender.

Or kill a person with such a noble and powerful status. They should be solemnly buried to show their humanization and benevolence.

However, Liu Bu did not do so, but dragged him and these dead officers and soldiers to the mass grave in Caoxie gorge to bury them.

The dignified Duke Xu is extremely wealthy and retired with the country, and there are many children in his family. However, all of these children's relatives have been demoted to slaves, and there is no need to converge. His son asked him to go out to converge for his father in prison, but he was told that he has been demoted to a slave and will be sent to the harem after castration.

Castrating prisoners of war and turning them into eunuchs is also a popular practice. For example, Wang Zhi, a famous eunuch, came here.

Situ Weiyi had a friendship with Duke Xu. He wanted to replace Xu Zi to restrain him, which could be regarded as a round of their affection. However, Liu Bu resolutely refused and disagreed with situ Weiyi. Even though situ Weiyi begged him personally, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and bled, but Liu Bu just didn't nod, Instead, he rewarded ten beautiful women and several fields.

Situ sighed helplessly. He had no other choice but to do so.

Liu Bu understands each other's demands very well and understands their practices. In this era, the dead are big and safe. Even the greatest crime will disappear as long as he dies. Like them, the enemy's bodies are not allowed to converge. It's a little too much to let them be exposed to the sun and rain, but he still did it, This is to show that his Liu family's approach has always been to treat the enemy as ruthless as ice and snow.

This is also a practice that he must always implement.

For example, after Qian Qianyi served as a pacifying ambassador, he saved many people with his pen and orders. There were many people listed as rebels by Liu Jun. as long as he dared to protect, Liu Bu released him.

Liu Bu was very unhappy with Qian Qianyi. He looked down on him and thought he had no backbone. However, since he was appointed as a pacifying ambassador to take charge of the aftermath of Nanjing, he would be given enough rights and due treatment.

Only in this matter, Liu Bu never flinched or let go, which means that he must set a principle, which is unchangeable.

Even among the officers and soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered, they were awarded prizes, which were the relatives, friends and children of their former colleagues. These may have been their equal before, but now they have become prisoners and slaves.

Liu Jun is rising and replacing Daming, but many laws implemented by Daming are also common here in the Liu family, which is equivalent to universal values. Like these defeated enemies, it is a relatively benevolent way to kill, demote or become slaves.

Even the emperor Taizu, who had such a good reputation in those years, could kill as soon as he could. He was demoted as a slave only when he couldn't finish killing.

Moreover, Emperor Taizu was a cruel and ruthless man. Let's see that he could raise a butcher's knife and kill his own people, let alone the enemy.

So Qian Qianyi, situ and others know that this is cruel, realistic and ruthless, but it is reality.

Liu Bu, as the master of this city, since he has made a decision, no one can disobey him, and this matter is quite taboo. They are both acutely aware that the strong rise of the Liu family and the rapid decline of Daming are the two ministers most despised by historians and scholars, You have to stand firm. If you still remember the old lord, you will be suspected.

Situ was the only one who didn't want to take refuge in the Liu family before. He finally took refuge in the Liu family. Since he took refuge in the Liu family, he wanted to work hard and didn't want to be a family slave with three surnames, which made him very embarrassed, but he could only do so. He couldn't help but sigh: the prince will be the prime minister. After all, there will be no burial on the green mountain! "

Qian Qianyi sighed: "the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red for several times."
