Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 315: Concentration, murder, surprise and submission

"May I ask, Sir Si Cheng, what are we supposed to do?"

When Yuwen Tao and other people from Daxia received the order and were about to leave the hall, Yu Bin from Xiling could not help but speak, but his tone was clearly filled with anger.

The more than 10,000 Digging Realm who currently control the garrison are all from the seven families of Zhaoyang, Xiling, Baiyuan, Dongkang, Yucheng, Songyuan, and Changning.

The digging missions of the seven families would naturally be led by the leaders or high-level officials of the seven families.

After Xia Hong conquered Longshan, at most he only allowed Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing to take over the military power of the three families of Yucheng, Songyuan and Changning.

Xia Chuan had just arrived when he took away all the military power from them so swiftly and decisively. As a result, not only Yu Bin, but also Hou Jing, Dong Zhong and Wu Ningyuan all looked unhappy.

Yu Bin was asking what he should do, but in fact he was expressing his dissatisfaction with having his military power taken away. Everyone present could hear it. Yuwen Tao and others who were about to withdraw from the hall stopped immediately and stared at Yu Bin with unfriendly expressions.

Being stared at by fifteen people at the same time, Yu Bin suddenly looked a little regretful.

Everyone else could hear it, including Xia Chuan.

"Captain Yu, do you still want to continue leading the troops?"

Xia Chuan did not answer, but bluntly pointed out Yu Bin's thoughts and asked him if he still wanted to continue leading the troops.

Although Xia Chuan's tone was calm and there was no threat in it.

But when Yu Bin looked up and met his extremely indifferent gaze, his heart still skipped a beat, and then he reacted and quickly lowered his head.

"My subordinates dare not!"

After Yu Bin said these four words, the expressions of Hou Jing, Dong Zhong, Wu Ningyuan and the other six people dimmed slightly, and they all looked obviously disappointed.

"That's good. You seven have just joined and may not be clear about our rules. All personnel above the Digging Realm in Daxia are under the unified jurisdiction of the Hunting Department, one of the six departments. The current head of the Hunting Department is Yuwen Tao in front of you."

Xia Chuan paused for a moment, then continued, "So from now on, not only the more than 10,000 Digging Realms, but also the seven of you, will all follow Yu Wen Si Zheng's orders. Do you understand?"

Xia Chuan deliberately emphasized the last four words.

The seven people stiffened slightly, then turned around sensibly, bowed to Yuwen Tao at the same time, and said in unison:

"Your subordinate greets Yuwen Sizheng."

"No need to be polite. We are about to reorganize those 10,000 people. We still need your cooperation. Please come in!"

Yuwen Tao was so smart that he immediately understood Xia Chuan's intention and directly asked the seven people to cooperate with him in reorganizing the Digging Realm.

After experiencing this series of suppression from Xia Chuan, the seven people naturally did not dare to raise any objections. They all bowed and nodded repeatedly, showing a cooperative attitude.

"Chen Yingba, Wu Tianxing, the two of you will set out now to count the current population, inventory materials, and various minerals in the seven garrisons of Zhaoyang, Xiling, Baiyuan, Dongkang, Yucheng, Songyuan, and Changning, and notify everyone in the seven garrisons to start packing up in the next two days. By the tenth day at the latest, I will send a large army to relocate them all to Xiacheng.

If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!"

Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing both showed bitterness on their faces. They had just heard that Xia Chuan suppressed Hou Jing and his seven men, and they had a bad feeling in their hearts. Now that they were assigned these hard and tiring tasks, they truly confirmed that Xia Chuan was blaming them for Xia Hong's assassination last night.

But the two of them were already feeling guilty at the moment, so they naturally did not dare to refute anything. They quickly bowed and nodded: "I obey your command."

"Okay, it's almost night, everyone should go about their business!"

Everyone bowed and saluted, then quickly walked out of the hall.

Xia Chuan turned around, bowed to the platform behind him, and walked out.

"You are so eager to take away the military power of Hou Jing and the other seven, and you still think they will serve Daxia obediently? You are dreaming!"

In the living room behind the high platform in the main hall, Li Xuanling, wrapped in a velvet blanket, half-lying on the bed, looked at Xia Hong who was practicing beside him and sneered.

Xia Hong sat cross-legged without moving, his body surrounded by blood and energy, and the flesh and blood under his skin was moving slightly with his breathing, as if he didn't hear her voice at all.

"All the camps in Longyou are similar to the Longshan model. They are all ruled by one or two or three high-ranking families. The reason you were able to instigate the seven families to rebel this time was because of their hatred for Longshan. If you want all the people of these seven families to truly integrate into Daxia, you can't treat Hou Jing like this..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I won't spare the Li family!"

Li Xuanling's expression froze after being interrupted. He clenched his fists under the blanket, and then his eyes gradually turned red. His voice suddenly softened as he said, "Since you have decided to let me marry you, why bother killing them? You don't want your wife to be someone who wants to kill you all the time, do you?"

call…………

Xia Hong took a deep breath, and the surrounding blood and energy immediately returned to his body through his pores. Then he turned to look at Li Xuanling beside him and suddenly laughed.

"You were also going to be soft?"

He suddenly got inspired, pinched Li Xuanling's chin, and sneered, "Your biggest problem is that you look down on others. You mistake straw for treasure. You look down on everything except what you think is precious!
Did I ever say that I wanted Hou Jing and his people to work for me obediently?
Zhaoyang, Xiling, Baiyuan, Dongkang, the four families have a total of 110,000 people. What I have always strived for are the majority among them, not what you call the top leaders. If they really have the ability to unite the people below, they would not be like your Longshan, which was finally annexed by my Great Xia.

You overestimate those so-called senior executives you mention.

This is the letter Meng Tian just sent to me, come and take a look!"

Xia Hong suddenly took out a piece of animal skin scroll from his chest and threw it on the bed.

Meng Tian?

Hearing the name, Li Xuanling was stunned at first, then he picked up the animal skin scroll. After reading the contents on it, his face suddenly turned pale.

What was recorded on the animal skin scroll was all the conversations between Meng Ying, Jiang Ping, and Sun Yan after they returned to the cell, including their plan to collude with others to force Da Xia to let the four siblings go. He remembered everything clearly.

"You even bribed Meng Tian?"

"Does it need to be bribed?"

Xia Hong sneered and said disdainfully, "Since we conquered Longshan last night, there has been a steady stream of Longshan people expressing their loyalty to Daxia. Meng Tian is just one of them. There are at least three or four hundred high-ranking outsiders like him, and the number of ordinary people below is even more numerous."

Li Xuanling was obviously greatly shocked and his expression was dull.

Meng Tian’s identity is really special.

His father Meng Ying was one of the Eight Vajras of Longshan, and his loyalty to the Li family was unquestionable. However, Meng Tian, ​​a high-ranking member of Longshan in an absolute sense, turned to Daxia so quickly, which shows how unpopular the Li family is.

There are still three or four hundred high-ranking officials like Meng Tian.

"Guess if there is anyone in your Li family who has pledged loyalty to Daxia in order to survive?"

Xia Hong continued to attack Li Xuanling's heart, and before she could answer, he continued, "Even Meng Tian, ​​a core member of the upper echelons, has no loyalty to your Li family, let alone the ordinary people below.

Your so-called high-level rule has long been riddled with holes!

Just like the 130,000 people in your Longshan, whether they can be integrated into Daxia is not decided by the Li family; the seven families with a total of 110,000 people are also not something that Hou Jing and others who are at the cold-resistant level can decide.

The resource allocation model of the camp in Longyou has long been determined. I only need to divide them a little bit, and a large number of people will turn to Daxia. The reason is very simple..."

Longyou is too unfair to ordinary people. All camps follow the same rules as Longshan in resource allocation. All resources are unconditionally inclined towards the most core family or several families.

Xia Hong had already seen this from the time he first saw the elite system of the Hive and then his deeper understanding of Longyou.

The Beehive Chen Family, the Zhaoyang Hou Family, the Longshan Li Family, the Wushuang Wu Family, the Hanqiong Han Family... The Twelve Families of Longyou are not so much twelve giant camps as twelve large families that control a large population and act independently.

“You twelve families are like poisonous insects, constantly sucking blood from more than 400,000 people in Longyou, enjoying their supplies while maintaining your supreme position. Without external intervention, those people below are powerless to resist, so of course you can continue to play this trick.

But once a powerful external force intervenes, your twelve families will immediately be retaliated and attacked by everyone, just like what happened to the Li family tonight!"

Xia Hong paused after saying this, and continued with a sneer: "If the four families of Hou Jing are smart, they will know that keeping a low profile is the best way for them to save their lives. If they dare to have any inappropriate thoughts, the Li family tonight will be their tomorrow."

After hearing these words and realizing that all the Li family members would not escape death, Li Xuanling raised his head and stared at Xia Hong, not hiding the raging hatred in his eyes at all.

However, Xia Hong looked indifferent, and continued with a sneer:
"I don't care if you want to kill me all the time. What matters most is whether you have the ability to kill me. Before you have this ability, you'd better be honest and don't ask for trouble!"

pop... pop... pop...

As Li Xuanling's expression became more and more ashamed and angry, the sounds coming out of her throat gradually became stranger and stranger.

………………

On the seventh day of the seventh month in the second year of Daxia, night fell as expected.

After Xia Chuan's warning, the attitude of Hou Jing and his seven men had obviously changed greatly. This could be seen from the fact that it took Yuwen Tao less than an hour to reorganize the more than 10,000 Digging Realm soldiers.

After the reorganization of more than 10,000 people, Yue Feng and his ten men immediately took their respective teams of 1,000 men and began to drive all the people scattered throughout the garrison to the north area dungeon for assembly.

Twelve thousand people is a huge mobilization no matter what they do, so it is naturally not going to be smooth. However, with Xia Chuan's order, Yuwen Tao, Yue Feng and others were not so polite.

"Listen carefully, I will say this only once. Anyone who fails to gather outside the North District dungeon within half an hour will be charged with disobeying the Secretary and sentenced to three years of corvée labor!"

As Yuwen Tao signaled Yue Feng and others to pass on the order, the entire garrison immediately became lively. Crowds of people came out of their houses and gathered outside the dungeon in the north area.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I don't know. Are we going to be imprisoned at the North District dungeon?"

"How is it possible? There are over 100,000 people, and we can't lock them all up even if we want to?"

"Longshan has changed its owner. What else could it be for asking us to go to the dungeon at this time? It must be to deal with the Li family and those Diggers in the dungeon!"

"My father is imprisoned in the dungeon right now. Daxia wants to kill him?"

"Not really. There are more than 7,000 Diggers locked up in the dungeon. Daxia probably won't dare to kill them all."

"Look over there in the main building. The people imprisoned in the main building have also arrived."

"Those seem to be the families of Meng Ying, Jiang Ping, and more than a dozen others. Didn't they defect to Da Xia? Why are they coming to the dungeon?"

"I don't know. Go quickly. The people behind are getting more and more anxious."

........................

It took more than two hours for more than 120,000 people to reach the North District. The space outside the dungeon in the North District was not large, so it was impossible to accommodate 120,000 people smoothly.

Thanks to Xia Chuan who specially ordered the demolition of all the surrounding buildings, leaving a huge square of one kilometer square. Then, ten teams of one thousand people led by Yuwen Tao maintained order while dividing the crowd into ten groups, so that everyone was able to gather together smoothly.

Everyone was facing the direction of the dungeon, and near the entrance to the dungeon, a five-meter-high temporary platform had been built with wood, obviously for everyone to see.

More than 100,000 people gathered together, and if anyone coughed it would be a big deal. The whole square was filled with noise and there was no order at all.

On the high platform, Yuwen Tao frowned slightly when he saw that the people below were too noisy. He bowed to Xia Chuan beside him and said, "Si Cheng, everyone is here. Should we silence them?"

Hearing Yuwen Tao's words, Xia Chuan shook his head and nodded directly to Peng Bo next to him.

Peng Bo bowed in understanding and walked to the back of the platform.

"Uh...uh..."

"Well……"

………………

Soon, soldiers of the Yunjiao Army wearing light gold armor walked out from behind the platform. Each of them held a prisoner in his hands. Without exception, the prisoners had their scapula pierced by iron hooks, and their mouths were stuffed with sawdust. They were unable to speak and could only make noises.

"That is, Master Xuanping from the Council?"

"And his son is here too."

"Lord Xuan Qiu is here too."

“They are all members of the Li clan!”

"Not only that, Master Xuanqiu's husband, Master Yang Fengping is here too."

"Their son, Yang Gan, is also in the first row."

"They are all Li's relatives and maternal relatives!"

...............

There were a total of twenty-nine people pulled out in the first batch. In addition to the twenty-seven people led by Li Xuanping who attacked the first floor last night, there were two who were seriously injured in the previous attack on the beehive. They were all of them with the cultivation level of cold-resistant, and their identities were either members of the Li family or relatives by marriage.

The identities of the prisoners on the platform soon spread through word of mouth and reached the ears of everyone below.

To all the people below, these twenty-nine cold-resistant-level warriors were all big shots that were out of their reach in normal times. They were forced by the soldiers of Da Xia to kneel on the high platform in front of them. One could imagine the huge psychological shock these people were enduring at this moment.

Without exception, everyone stared at the platform with eyes wide open.

The noise in the square was dying down at a very fast speed.

As Yue Feng and ten other Great Xia Cold-Proof Class soldiers walked behind the prisoners and raised their butcher knives, the expressions of everyone below became incredible.

No way?
Click...

Bangdang...

As Xia Chuan waved his hand lightly, Yue Feng and his ten men raised their butcher knives at the same time, and the ten men led by Li Xuanping in the first row were beheaded instantly.

The sound of the butcher's knife and the sound of the human head rolling on the ground were almost simultaneous.

The last trace of noise in the square disappeared completely along with the tumbling of ten heads. Everyone's already wide-open eyes were now filled with astonishment and horror, and disbelief.

Of course, there is a hint of joy hidden deep in his eyes!
Click...

Click...

Yue Feng and his ten men came for two more rounds. After all the twenty-nine people on the platform were killed, dozens of golden-armored soldiers immediately rushed out to collect the bodies.

After the platform was cleared, Xia Chuan waved again.

Hmmm……

Another group of people were brought up by the soldiers in golden armor. This time there were more than a hundred prisoners, almost filling up the entire platform. The executioners were changed to the soldiers of the Yunjiao Army who brought them up.

Click...

The Yunjiao army raised their swords and slashed, and heads rolled down the platform.

Xia Chuan still didn't say anything, but just continued waving in the stunned gazes of everyone.

This cycle repeated six times.

After Gaotai had killed at least seven or eight hundred people, Xiachuan finally stopped waving.

Snap……

When a person's head was chopped off, the amount of blood that spurted out was already extremely alarming. Coupled with the fact that Gao Tai had killed nearly 800 people in succession, the entire platform was almost dyed red with blood, and a lot of blood was even dripping down along the eaves of the platform.

This scene of a river of blood was the result of the execution of the Yunjiao soldiers, including Yuwen Tao, Yue Feng, Hou Jing and other cold-resistant soldiers standing on the high platform, all of whom looked a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people below. They were already silent as a mouse at this moment, not daring to move. Some babies who were crying for food had their mouths covered tightly by the adults, not allowing them to make any sound.

"Everyone!"

Xia Chuan walked slowly to the front of the platform, gathering his energy in his throat. When the square was the quietest, his voice immediately reached everyone's ears.

"The Li family of Longshan has exploited the people, oppressed the good, and enslaved more than 400,000 people in Longyou for decades, arousing the anger of the people, the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Now that my leader Xia Hong has taken control of Longshan, how can I tolerate it?"

Xia Chuan's last question was shouted out angrily, pointing at the last wave of corpses on the platform that had not yet been collected.

In the entire square, almost six or seven people were so frightened that they shuddered.

"A total of 788 people were executed just now, of which 438 were those who put up serious resistance while defending the city last night, and the rest were all members of the Li family..."

The casualties among the Yunjiao army soldiers during the siege last night were actually not that great. The casualties were mainly from the Digging Realm of the four Zhaoyang families and the three Yucheng families. These 438 people who were said to have put up serious resistance had more than two lives on their hands.

Xia Chuan executed these people out of consideration for the feelings of the more than 10,000 Digging Realm warriors from the seven families. So when he announced it, the expressions of the 10,000 Digging Realm warriors who were maintaining order in the square were obviously relieved.

"The entire Li family and their relatives have a total of 372 people. According to their crimes of disobeying the leader and resisting the Xia army, they should all be executed. However, our leader is kind and not a bloodthirsty person. He said that not everyone in the Li family is ruthless, so he pardoned some of the Li family's relatives, as well as..."

Xia Chuan paused for a moment before continuing:
"Li Tiancheng, Li Xuanling, Li Xuanyan, and Li Xuandu."

Wow…………

As soon as these four names were read out, there was an uproar below.

Obviously, Daxia's pardon of these four people was beyond everyone's expectations.

They killed more than 300 people, almost all of the Li family, but didn't kill these four most crucial ones. It's really hard for most people to understand;

But there were still some people in the crowd who showed surprise.

Meng Ying was one of them, not only him, but also Sun Yan, Jiang Ping, including the seriously injured Yue Qian, Song Kang, Cheng Guang and so on... This group of people accounted for almost more than a quarter of the crowd, at least more than 30,000 people.

“Although Li Tiancheng, Li Xuanyan, and Li Xuandu were the core culprits of the Li family, they were able to turn back from their mistakes and lead the people to surrender in time, reducing a large number of unnecessary casualties. Therefore, the leader gave them leniency at his discretion. Although the death penalty can be avoided, the punishment for living cannot be avoided.

Li Xuanyan and Li Xuandu were ordered to leave Longshan within five days and not to set foot on Longyou land within ten years.

Considering that Li Tiancheng is already old and has made great contributions by surrendering, the leader allows him to stay in Daxia and live out his days."

After hearing the results of the handling of these three people, Meng Ying and others nodded slightly, but then they looked up like everyone else and looked at Xia Chuan with curiosity.

There is still one person left to talk about, Li Xuanling!

Xia Chuan also knew what everyone was waiting for, and after a pause he continued:

"Although the former leader of Longshan, Li Xuanling, is a member of the Li clan, he is very clear about justice. Not only did he surrender voluntarily, he also assisted the leader in successfully capturing Li Xuanping and other members of the Li clan's cold-weather protection team. He has made great contributions to Daxia, and the leader has rewarded him."

………………

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, including Meng Ying, Jiang Ping, Sun Yan, and the other eight people who almost followed Li Xuanling to the main building to assassinate Xia Hong last night. They were also stunned.

The others didn't know what Li Xuanling had done, but the eleven of them knew it clearly. Why did Xia Chuan say such a thing?
Their confusion was soon resolved with Xia Chuan's next words.

"By the way, in order to better and faster integrate the Longshan population into Daxia, the leader has decided to choose a date to marry Li Xuanling after returning to Xiacheng."

Wow…………

"So it's a marriage!"

"The two leaders are getting married, so aren't we still Longshan people?"

"So that's how it is, that's what I was thinking..."

…………

The whole audience was suddenly excited.

The originally heavy atmosphere immediately eased a lot.

After experiencing a series of psychological fluctuations, the expressions of Meng Ying and the other eleven people gradually calmed down. They first looked up at Xia Chuan on the stage, then turned their heads to look in the direction of the main building, and a look of admiration appeared on their faces.

"So that's how it is. Leader Xia's methods are truly astonishing..."

"I'm afraid there's no better way to deal with it than this!"

"Longshan's defeat this time was truly deserved..."

"I am convinced. I am completely convinced!"
