Qiming 1158

Chapter 579
Several adult sons of Tudan Hexi have joined the army in other places and established their own businesses.

Now that the country is in ruins, the life and death of his sons are unknown. Although he is heartbroken, he also feels that his sons are likely to die in battle.

His grown-up daughters are also married and live in Kanto. At the stall where the Restoration Army swept the world, he felt that his daughters would also die.

That was something he could no longer take into account.

With him at the moment, there are only three underage sons and five underage daughters.

They looked at their blood-stained father in horror.

"Don't blame me, I can't let you be humiliated. If the Liberation Army captures you, it will make you suffer inhuman pain. Compared with this, it is better to die under the sword of the father, at least the father will not make you feel pain. "

He approached step by step, and the sons and daughters stepped back, begging for mercy, hoping that their father would spare them and let them go and make a living.

They don't want to die.

The oldest son, 13 years old, wept bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tudan Hexi, begging his father to let him live.

Tu Danhe was startled with joy, and then suddenly became furious.

"When the country was falling, you actually knelt down and begged for mercy? Do you want to be a slave to the subjugation and survive? As a father, I would rather die than surrender, and you are my son. How can I allow you to surrender?"

Tu Dan He was so angry that he jumped up with his hair and beard open, raised his knife and killed the son neatly.

Then, without stopping, he swung the knife forward and killed the remaining six children in a row. Each one was killed with a single blow without any extra movement. He tried to release the children quickly and without pain.

In this regard, Tu Dan Hexi, a murderer with decades of experience, is very professional. He can make the victim die neatly with just one knife, and with a little snack, he can make the other party feel no pain until death. .

This is also his last tenderness to his family.

In the end, only the five-year-old daughter of the family was killed by him.

He only got this daughter when he was in his sixtieth year. He loves her very much on weekdays, treats her like a pearl in his hand, and cares for her in every possible way. He is afraid that it will be broken when he holds it in his hand, and that it will melt when he holds it in his mouth.

But now, he wants to kill the most beloved daughter with his own hands.

Du Dan Hexi suddenly felt good luck.

Why is this so?
He doesn't understand.

The little daughter was frightened by him, shivering and motionless, just stood there watching Tu Dan Hexi kill all her brothers and sisters.

Tu Dan Hexi stepped forward with a knife to kill her, raised the knife, looked at the young daughter's wooden eyes, but couldn't do it anyway.

In the end, he threw away the knife, knelt on the ground and held his little daughter in his arms, bursting into tears.

But as the cry of the Restoration Army got closer and closer, Tu Shan Hexi remembered what happened to the young emperors and concubines of the Zhao Song royal family when they attacked the Song south, and he still made a decision.

She must not fall into the hands of the Restoration Army and become a plaything for thieves!
So he picked up the knife on the ground again, held his little daughter in his arms, clenched the handle of the knife with trembling hands, pointed the tip of the knife to the back of his little daughter, and stabbed it hard in desperation.

The sharp point of the knife penetrated the bodies of the two people.

Tudan Hexi just hugged his little daughter and died together.

When Zhou Zhi led the troops with red eyes to Tu Dan Hexi's mansion, he saw such a scene with his own eyes.

Looking at the women in Chinese clothes who died everywhere, the young children, and the appearance of Tu Dan Hexi and his young daughter dying together, the boiling blood in Zhou Zhi's body cooled down.

He shook his head and sighed, thinking of the beggars who dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground along the way.

"Shut up their corpses. Although he is an enemy, those who die generously deserve more respect than those who survive."

Zhou Zhi ordered the bodies of Tudan Hexi's family to be collected and buried together.

The Battle of Chang'an ended in this way. The top military and political leader of the Jin Army in Guanzhong area died in Chang'an City, which announced the end of the Jin Army's revolt under unified command in the Guanzhong area.

This end is not a trivial matter. Although there are tens of thousands of Jin troops in the Guanzhong area, there is no unified command since then. Each department can only fight against each other and fight against the unified command of the Restoration Army. The disadvantage is very large.

The possibility of being beaten by each of them is really great.

But who can change this situation?
They can't change.

After the capture of Chang'an City, in order to restore the security and order of Chang'an City as soon as possible, Zhang Yuejing ordered the siege troops to quickly withdraw from the city, stationed outside the city, and could not enter the city without an order.

Then he ordered his own personal troops to enter the city to temporarily act as a security force to maintain law and order, so as to restore order in the city as soon as possible.
Then he announced the policies of the Restoration Army in the city, and posted an Anmin notice, announcing that the city of Chang'an would return to normal from now on, and the residents of the city should report their news to the officials in Chang'an City, register their household registration, and accept the rule of the Restoration Army.

As long as you register your household registration, you can get the protection of the Restoration Army and the necessary living materials.

The Restoration Army did not kill, loot, harass, or even enter the city, so the people of Chang'an could rest assured.

The policy is set like this, and the propaganda also says the same. The people of Chang'an are hungry and have no other choice. They respond to the call of the Restoration Army in twos and threes and fight for their lives.

But when it comes to execution, the current situation in Chang'an City is not simple at all.

According to the report of the captured officials, Zhang Yuejing learned that Tu Shan Hexi had carried out a massacre in Chang'an City before, killing many of the city's dignitaries and wealthy households at the beginning.

Then Tu Dan Hexi held the banner of collecting supplies to fight the Restoration Army, and condoned the army to harm the residents of the city. From the rich to the ordinary households, no one was spared.

Private property was plundered, and many people were killed in order to protect their property and their families, which was described as miserable.

The discipline and morality of the military and soldiers were corrupted, and many female relatives of the city residents were plundered into the army and became slaves, subjected to inhuman torture.

In just over a month, more than 3 residents died in Chang'an City, and there was no time to burn them or dig pits to bury them.

According to the investigation of the current situation of Chang'an City by the Restoration Army, Zhang Yuejing learned that most of the residents of the city who were issued to serve the army were skinny and skinny, and they were obviously tortured badly.

Not only that, there are thousands of women in the Chang'an City barracks, all in ragged clothes and in extremely poor health. Many were tortured to death, and their bodies were not even complete.

Most of the soldiers defending the city were in good condition, with ruddy complexions. Obviously, there was no shortage of food and drink, and there was no fear of starvation.

This situation made Zhang Yuejing very annoyed, and immediately ordered the officers of the Military Judicial Division of the army to conduct a thorough investigation of the evil deeds of the captured defenders, and prepared to select some of the most heinous ones for public trial and execute them first.

These heinous bastards don't deserve to be coolies, they don't deserve to live.

When Zhou Zhi learned of the incident, his face went dark, and he personally led someone to dig out the body of Tu Dan Hexi, who had just been buried. Said to hang up for seven days before putting it down.

After he is put down, he will not be buried. Instead, his body will be set on fire, his bones will be smashed and ashes will be thrown away, and he will do so publicly, in order to comfort the souls of the unjustly killed in the city and to appease the hearts of the city.

Tu Dan Hexi left a mess and left the huge Chang'an City and huge troubles to Zhang Yuejing, who was forced to take on the responsibility of restoring the vitality of Chang'an City.

On the one hand, he counted the number of surviving people in the city, tried to reunite the families who were forced to separate, and then distributed the food seized in the city as relief food to the residents of the city.

Then he sent people out to attack the rural areas and restore the material supply to Chang'an City from the rural areas as soon as possible.

After such an operation, Zhang Yuejing was able to stabilize the situation in Chang'an City, and did not cause a larger-scale humanitarian disaster in Chang'an City.

Capturing a city only requires pure military means, but occupying a city requires a lot more, especially the goal of the Restoration Army is not to fight and leave, but to occupy and govern, even as Chang'an is an important city in Guanzhong, in the future The Guanzhong area also holds great significance.

So Zhang Yuejing could only move forward temporarily, and ordered his army to sweep the area around Jingzhao Mansion and occupy all of Jingzhao Mansion. During this period, Zhang Yuejing would stay in Chang'an City and be solely responsible for all security around Chang'an City.
