Song Dynasty

Chapter 163 Proposal ([-])

Wang Shen's spirit was greatly lifted: "Chen Da, tell me."

There was a flash of light in Chen Da's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "It's still what the military envoy said just now. The bandit army will only regret it after being beaten by the general. In today's battle, the knife was cut on Cao Cheng's body, and he died. My own people, and other bandits don’t know to be afraid. Just let them feel the same way.”

"I feel empathy, how can I feel empathy?" Wang Shen couldn't help asking, his heart moved.

Chen Da's voice was even lower: "Military envoy, you might as well take all the 4000 captives captured to the riverside and kill them one by one in front of the bandit army. [-] people, if you do something, you will have to kill them no matter what." Two hours. Seeing so many heads rolling to the ground, the bandit army can naturally understand the miserable end after the defeat, and they have to weigh the consequences of offending the military envoy."

The hairs on the back of Wang Shen's neck stood on end, 4000 people, this is 4000 people, if you say kill them, you will kill them?
Yes, just like what Chen Da said, it would take two hours to kill him no matter what.At that time, wouldn't the Yangtze River be dyed red?

What is the concept of 4000 people? People are crowded with each other, and standing together can at least fill a large football field.One can imagine what a terrifying scene it would be at that time.

The army attacked the city, attacked Qichun with more than [-] people, and sacrificed thousands of people. It was a hell on earth. As a modern person, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.If Chen Da does this to himself again, won't he be afraid of having nightmares in the future?
"Giggle/" Wang Shen laughed softly, and the laughter continued.

Chen Da felt that something was wrong, his forehead was full of sweat the size of soybeans: "Jun...junjun, military envoy..."

"Get out!" Wang Shen pointed at the door.

"What... military envoy."

"Get out!" Wang Shen was furious, and shouted: "Chen Da, it is ominous to kill prisoners, and you will be punished by heaven. Last time in Qichun, a certain one just listened to your nonsense and drove the prisoners to attack the city. What happened? Not only did they fail Being able to take down the old thief Kong has killed so many people. Go out and listen to what other people say about me, Wang Shen, a butcher, a star killer, and a wild beast. A certain man punished the people and punished the bandits and rebels, but now With such a reputation, how will I be recorded in the history of the future? Human beings are different from animals because they have compassion and forgiveness. Do you want to trap me in injustice? ?”

Chen Da is in charge of the Military Law Department. In addition to maintaining military discipline and rectifying internal affairs, he is also responsible for arranging detailed operations and investigating the enemy's minor tasks.After all, he is a spy chief.

He used to be a subaltern of the yamen, in charge of criminal names, depressed and unwilling, and also vicious and vicious.After being used carefully by Wang Shen, he has no bottom line in doing things, he is simply a vicious dog, and he dares to bite anyone.

Because of him, his reputation was almost ruined.

Wang Shen had been fighting for a whole day and was already exhausted to death, the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and he drew out the horizontal knife with a clang.

Unexpectedly, Chen Da did not run away, but straightened his neck: "Military envoy, my subordinates are loyal to you. The general asked how to retreat from the enemy, and the subordinates will naturally answer the truth. If you really want to use the knife, how can anyone dare to fight against you in the future?" Are you speaking in front of me?" At this moment, he spoke fluently and stopped stuttering.

"You, you, are you trying to bully me?"

"Father, don't!" At this moment, Qin Sizhao came. He hurriedly grabbed Wang Shen's hand and persuaded him, "Judge Chen Jun is not guilty of death, how can he use the knife. Daddy, if you fight hard for a day, your son will still serve you, old man." Have you rested earlier?"

While talking, he kept giving Chen Da winks: "Judge Chen Jun, don't you hurry up, do you have to make daddy angry to be reconciled?"

Chen Da still refused to leave: "The military envoy has a benevolent heart and refuses to kill the prisoners. We naturally admire them in our hearts. If he refuses, he might as well chop off the heads of the enemy's fallen corpses and build a Jingguan. Rebellious officials and thieves punished by the national law. In this way, it can also deter bandits."

"Well, it's okay." Wang Shen's heart moved, and most of his anger subsided.He yawned for a long time: "You can figure it out, I'm already tired, and I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Besides, after the enemy retreats, those corpses must be collected and buried."

"Yes, this subordinate must do this properly."

After Chen Da left happily and Qin Sizhao's attendant Wang Shen washed his feet and went to bed, it was already about twelve o'clock in the middle of the night Beijing time.He whispered: "Father, I don't see that Judge Chen Jun is a strong order."

Wang Shen smiled: "What kind of order is strong, it's just Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, and Lai Junchen. This kind of petty official from the grassroots, once he occupies a high position and holds real power, he blindly strives hard. If he wants to stand in front of the world Even if they show their means, they can't put themselves in the right position. The pattern in their chests is still a bit small."

Qin Sizhao looked thoughtful: "My son has been educated. It seems that the governance of the country depends on a gentleman from a wealthy family."

"Gentleman, gentleman..." Wang Shen smiled, but didn't go any further.

Gentleman, are the scholars and gentry from rich families in the Song Dynasty really gentlemen?But to govern the country, one cannot do without relying on these people.After all, the management of a country and a region cannot rely on warriors.Shi Shen is the only intellectual in this era, who else can you use if you don't use them?
It would be an earth-shaking revolution to re-train by yourself. I don't have such ability, means and courage, so it's better not to bother with this god.

High-level intellectuals, gentry and subordinates such as Chen Da, small intellectuals and bureaucrats from the middle and lower classes must all use it, and none of them can be neglected.

"Daddy."

Seeing Qin Sizhao's eagerness for knowledge, Wang Shen asked, "Si Zhao, you were running around in the army and in Huangzhou a while ago, and your studies have been wasted?"

Qin Sizhao: "Don't dare, my son does his homework every day, otherwise the teacher will not spare me."

Wang Shen: "Did you come from Ying Xiang just now? What's going on there?"

Qin Sizhao replied: "Uncle and Auntie Du had such a quarrel, and Uncle was so angry that he went back to the barracks. There wept together, and Mother was trying to persuade him."

Wang Shen laughed loudly: "Let her go, pregnant women can be forgiven for doing a little bit."

More than 4000 corpses of Cao Chengjun who died in battle were dragged to the bank of the Yangtze River by Chen Da on the second day, their heads were beheaded one by one, and they were piled up into three mountains.

In order to cut off these heads, the soldiers worked all night, until the knives were curled, and they were not finished until dawn.

Chen Da was also ruthless enough to directly throw the headless corpse into the Yangtze River.

In the blink of an eye, a dense layer of human bodies floated on the river.

The body floated on the water for three days before being dispersed by the river current.Thick corpses floated on the broad Yangtze River, and a large swarm of flies came and buzzed and landed, and then were blown away by the strong wind.

Chen Da also sent people to approach the bandit army's fleet by boat, saying that Cao Cheng's army and Yang Zaixing's troops had been completely wiped out by our army envoys, and that none of the captured thieves could be kept, and they would all be executed on the spot.If you want to fight, go ahead and fight.When the time comes, don't blame our army for being ruthless.

Wang Shen has earned a great reputation on the battlefield in the past year. When they heard that he was begging Li Yu in Huaixi, and Jiankang cut him off, the leaders of the various bandits didn't take it seriously. possible.

Now, seeing the river full of headless corpses, he realized what kind of opponent he was facing.
