The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 751
The killing continued until night fell, and after the last resistance force was finally suppressed, the entire imperial capital slowly returned to calm.The Tianhua army tightly controlled the entire city, driving the civilians to clear the dead bodies out of the city, and use a lot of water to wash the blood on the ground.As a result, the canals in the city turned into dark red bloody water, flowing to the river outside the city, and immediately dyed the river into a river of blood, stretching for dozens of miles.

On the second day, Lin Yifan finally entered the city slowly surrounded by the army.After a night of cleaning, the city had long since disappeared from the previous mess. If it weren't for the traces of knives and arrows remaining in the surrounding houses, as well as a faint trace of blood, it would have been as if the previous war had never existed at all.

After Lin Yifan arrived at the palace, he saw many ministers of Dongyang and concubines kneeling on both sides of the hall, buried their heads deeply on the ground, trembling.

Lin Yifan glanced at them indifferently, and walked straight into the hall without paying any attention.It has to be said that although Dongyang is a small country, the construction of this palace is indeed no worse than his palace in Huayuan.Although it is not much different from the Central Plains Palace in general, it is rich in certain characteristics of Dongyang, and it is more refined than the Central Plains in terms of details.

Lin Yifan stepped onto the throne and sat on it.At this time, all the generals immediately understood, and immediately bowed to each other: "The ministers and others congratulate Your Majesty on winning the Dongyang Imperial Capital. Long live Your Majesty, and the glory of the sky will prevail!"

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "The siege of the city and the removal of the fortress are all the achievements of the soldiers, what has I to do with it? You don't need to flatter me, let's talk about the result of this battle."

Niu Dali hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics last night, from the landing to the capture of the imperial capital, our army had a total of more than 6000 casualties, of which more than 12 were killed in battle. More than [-] enemy troops were wiped out, and there were no prisoners. There is no way to escape and hide among the people."

"I don't think there are so many casualties in our army. It's really hateful." Lin Yifan's face darkened, "And those soldiers who hide among the people are all hidden dangers, and they must all be found out."

"I obey the order." Niu Dali quickly agreed, then hesitated, and asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with those people outside?"

Only then did Lin Yifan think of the surrendered ministers kneeling in a row outside, he couldn't help but frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Bring them in."

Soon, a group of surrendered ministers filed in, knelt down on the ground, and shouted in blunt Central Plains dialect: "The guilty ministers kowtow to His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Lin Yifan looked at these Dongyang people, and said coldly: "You can know why I personally led the army to attack Dongyang country?"

The ministers couldn't help trembling with fear when they heard the words. Of course they knew that when the Cao family envoys came to join forces that day, many of them also played a role in fueling the flames.

Sure enough, Lin Yifan looked at them with a sneer, "Among you, who supported Dongyang and Cao's alliance to invade the Central Plains? Correct me, and I will spare you from death."

When the ministers heard the words, they immediately raised their heads, accusing and exposing each other.The surrendered ministers who were pointed out by the crowd suddenly turned pale with fright, poured out feces and urine, and collapsed on the ground.

Lin Yifan waved his hands in disgust, and shouted loudly: "Come here, pull them out and chop them up, and destroy their family."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, the guilty minister will never dare again."

"The guilty minister is willing to take the crime and make meritorious service, and ask His Majesty for forgiveness!". . . .

However, no matter how much they cried and begged, Lin Yifan remained unmoved. These people deserved to die, and he also needed to kill some people to frighten the other people.

The officials who survived the catastrophe, although thankful that they did not support the Western Expedition, saw that those colleagues were dragged out to be executed, and the family would suffer, so they couldn't help showing fear, for fear that if they were not careful, they would follow in their footsteps.

Fortunately, after Lin Yifan dealt with a group of people, he had no intention of killing them.The destruction of Dongyang at this time is just the beginning.What they have to face later is the counterattack of the princes from all walks of life.Therefore, maintaining the stability of the control area becomes very important.And if you want to stabilize the imperial capital, you need the assistance of these surrenders.

Therefore, Lin Yifan comforted them a few words to let them relax.They were then appointed to serve as important positions in the empire, responsible for assisting the army to stabilize order.

But then, the series of decrees issued by Lin Yifan surprised all the officials, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

"As you assist the army, the whole city issued a notice to hide the bandit soldiers from the people. If you surrender to our army within one day, you will not die. Anyone who dares to hide the bandit soldiers must report to the army within two days. Fang reports, otherwise the whole family will be convicted and imprisoned together.”

"Issued another notice, telling the people in the city that after two days, anyone who reports where the bandits are hiding will be rewarded by the government, and all the property of those who hide the bandits will be theirs."

After dismissing all the officials, only a group of concubines and heirs of Emperor Dongyang remained.Lin Yifan looked at them indifferently, wondering if the generals did it on purpose, among these concubines and heirs, there was not a single man, all of them were young beauties, kneeling on the ground at this moment, trembling, looking very pitiful.

Lin Yifan couldn't help but glanced at Niu Dali, and sneered, "Dali, what do you mean?"

Niu Dali shook his shoulders slightly, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you have been fighting abroad for a long time, and now you have finally won the Dongyang Palace. I just thought that this place can just be used as your Majesty's temporary visit, leaving some women to serve His Majesty lives."

"Hmph, over the years, you have become more and more petty." Lin Yifan laughed angrily, "Forget it, for the sake of my sake, let's not care about it this time."

"Your Majesty forgive me, I will never dare again." Niu Dali couldn't help sweating on his back, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"Okay, these girls, just leave a few to serve me, and the rest will be divided among you generals." Lin Yifan waved his hands and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." All the generals couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately bowed down.

Lin Yifan immediately waved away the crowd and walked towards the harem led by the guards.Just like what Niu Dali said, for more than a month, the bones and skeletons of the bumps on the sea were about to fall apart, and there was constant marching and fighting along the way, and there was not much time for rest.Right now, he just wants to take a good bath and then sleep.

Lin Yifan leaned in the bathtub, enjoying the pleasure of soaking his body in hot water, and felt that most of the fatigue in his body disappeared immediately.It has to be said that the emperor of Dongyang really enjoys it. In the palace, it is too extravagant to build such a huge bath just for bathing.However, he was also slightly moved. Wouldn't it be beautiful to build one in the Huayuan Palace and take Qing'er and Yunyang to take a bath together?

But when he thought about the cost of building this bath, he shook his head regretfully, and secretly warned himself that he should lead by example and not indulge in extravagance.

At this moment, he felt a faint fragrance, and put his hands on Lin Yifan's shoulders.
