Chapter 717 Within ten years, the northern captives will no longer be in trouble
Over the years, the implementation of the policy of civil unification, military respect and military inferiority has brought subtle changes, making the attitudes of civil officials before Tumubao and civil officials after Tumubao to the army and generals very different.

But now it has been too long since the Civil Fortress, and the civil servants have been aloof for too long. They were born without knowing what is called Han and Tang heroism, what is called a real soldier, and what is called a real defense of the home and country.

At this moment, looking at the figures they calculated by themselves, they seem to...understand...

This is martial arts, right?This is the magnificent martial arts of the era when the king ascended the altar to worship the general, right?That only exists in the history books, and it becomes the material for their chats after dinner, right?

Huo Qubing... Wei Qing... Li Jing... Li Ji... Xu Da... Lan Yu...

These demon god-like names are too far away from them, so far away that they can almost turn a blind eye to them.

Think about it, these brilliant names, let’s take a look again, those Qiu Ba who are good at exploiting the common people and servilely watch the gate when they meet someone with a higher status, on one side are war wolves and fierce tigers, and on the other hand they are meowing. How can such a difference make people feel emotional?

Even if you see these sick cats, these sick cats with the names of soldiers, you probably won't feel the slightest bit of fear, right?

It has not been a year or two since society discriminated against soldiers and despised soldiers.
But when they saw such a terrible record, such a number, it felt like when they wrote it on paper, the ink turned into scarlet blood...

Not one or two officials have been frightened in the past two days.

Think again about the scene where those soldiers escorted the ten northern captive nobles back to the capital with great fanfare!
Ten people were carried by ten donkey carts, their hands, ankles and necks were tied with iron chains, and they were tied to a cross wooden frame. Several pieces of cloth were hung on it, and the identity and name of this person were written, so-and-so numbered 10 The leader of the tribe, the uncle of Khan, the son, the big leader, etc., each of them is the leader of hundreds of thousands of northern captives. What does it mean for them to be captured?
It means a hearty victory...

Along the way, people kept shouting that the Ming army had won a great victory and killed hundreds of thousands of northern prisoners.

Those captives were locked up firmly, in a state of distress, and escorted to Beijing by a 500-strong army to present to His Majesty the Emperor. Along the way, there were countless people watching the excitement, shouting and shouting. How intense was the scene?

I don't know who took the lead, but the gang of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables smashed on them, and those people who had suffered enough from the northern captives were just slightly instigated, and they smashed the leaders of the northern captives like crazy, no matter where they were, they smashed them, Those people usually live a dignified life, and they don't change their nature after being captured for a while, how can they bear such treatment?
He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Needless to say, it really scared many people.

As a result, the healthy soldiers who were escorted were not happy. One of the leaders yelled, "How dare you be arrogant? Hit me." Dozens of soldiers immediately rushed into the car and beat them with fists, without using weapons. , just combined fists and feet, a fat beating, the nose was bruised and the face was swollen, and the face looked like a dyeing workshop, that look!
Really relieved, really, some officials who witnessed it had to say that it was really relieved, the people immediately felt confident, and someone backed them up. smashed all the way.

Later, His Majesty the Emperor, Longyan Dayue, personally ordered the prisoner-offering army to escort the prisoners to the gate of the imperial city. His Majesty the Emperor appeared at the gate of the imperial city in person. How many people were watching?
His Majesty the Emperor also personally decreed that he directly rejected the sentencing proposals from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. Some of these northern captives were beheaded, some were beheaded, some were hanged, and there was a particularly ferocious prisoner who refused to confess his love. He was ordered to be executed by Ling Chi to comfort the soldiers and common people on the frontier who had suffered a lot.

That's really relieving, don't want it.

Those guys who were invincible in everyone's impression in the past will cry, beg for mercy, speak soft words, and pee their pants when life and death are at stake. Cowardly.

The tragic but wonderful execution touched the people and officials in the capital extremely strongly. After that, the whole capital was discussing the hearty victory at the Daming Border Pass.

No one knows the exact number, but everyone can say the word "hundreds of thousands", and everyone dares to say it, then hundreds of thousands, anyway, that's what the "athletes" who escorted the prisoners back to victory said so.

Yes, now the people in the capital don't talk about the army anymore, they call it "Jianer".

This change in appellation reflects a change in people's hearts. In the past few days, many people have taken the initiative to send food and drinks to the camp of five hundred "athletes" outside the capital, saying that they want to thank them for killing the northern captives, and also Give them a peaceful life, otherwise they will be terrified all day long, fearing that they will be beaten to the door by the northern captives.

This is the first time in how many years?

The common people don't know the exact figures, but now the officials have probably figured them out, and they handed over the figures to Shi Xing. When Shi Xing received the report, he gasped a few times, his hands were shaking, and he swallowed hard. After spitting, he asked in disbelief——

"Are you sure?"

really?
The official in charge of statistics smiled wryly.

"There will only be more, not less. After this battle, within ten years, the northern captives will no longer be a problem..."

They could only tell Shi Xing in this way, Shi Xing stopped talking, and was about to enter the palace with a complicated expression.

The emperor asked Shi Xing to give him the exact number as soon as possible by name. He wanted to see it, and Shi Xing dared not neglect it.

In the past few days, the emperor's prestige has risen sharply. He frequently met with big boss officials in the palace, and discussed with them various aftermaths after the big victory. He seemed a lot more arbitrary, and many suggestions were given to him. , must follow his will.

For example, the Minister of Rites went out of the city to welcome the triumphant army on behalf of the emperor, how many miles of decorations were installed, how many people gathered to watch and applaud, which palace gate did the army enter through, which palace received meritorious generals, the number of rewards, and the number of officials. Ah or something.

On these issues, the emperor appears to be extremely strong and does not allow them to have any objections. I am the boss and I have the final say. The bosses are a little depressed, but at this stall, they somehow feel that they do not have the confidence to argue with the emperor...

What is going on here?
