Chapter 1366 Massacre of prisoners and pressure (Part 2)
Chapter 1364: Massacre of prisoners and pressure (Part 2)
Liu Bowen opposed the massacre of prisoners as a means of exerting pressure, and of course it was for Qin Hao's good.
The last time Qin Hao dug up the Han River and flooded the Yellow Turban army in order to defeat Xiang Yu, Qin Hao had suffered a long time of infamy. It was not until Qin Hao formed a coalition to attack Dong and disclosed high-yielding grain varieties that this matter was brought to light. The infamy was completely offset.
Liu Bowen didn’t want Qin Hao to leave any stain, but the reason why Qin Hao refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on going his own way naturally had his considerations. After all, if he didn’t slaughter the prisoners, how could he stimulate Bai Qi’s ‘human slaughter’ attribute?
On the surface, Bai Qi now seems to be invincible in the art of war, and he has a bit of a "lonely seeking defeat" meaning, but at that time, he had not yet encountered an opponent of the same level.
Along the way, all Bai Qi encountered were Chen Youliang, Liu Xiu, Yang Lin, Wang Mang, Chen Qingzhi, Murong Chui... these generals whose basic commander level had not exceeded 100. Of course, with Bai Qi's command attribute of 105, he could crush them. But if he encounters an opponent whose basic commanders are not much different, Bai Qi may not be able to win as strongly as before.
Leaving aside everything else, Han Xin, Wu Qi and Sun Wu definitely have the strength to compete with Bai Qi, and their exclusive skills are obviously extraordinary skills. After receiving the increase in skills, they may not be weaker than Bai Qi.
Apart from 'Human Slaughter', Bai Qi has not revealed any other skills so far, and I don't know if they will be revealed in the future. However, Qin Hao estimates that 'Human Slaughter' is a skill that permanently increases basic attributes. Bai Qi should be There are no other skills that increase attributes.
In the absence of skill increase, if Bai Qi's basic commander is not high enough, he may not be the opponent of these three people in the future, so of course Qin Hao must find ways to enhance Bai Qi's abilities.
In addition to inspiring Bai Qi's "human massacre", the main reason why Qin Hao slaughtered people was because these prisoners of war were all aliens and had just committed a heinous crime. The hatred of Yuan Meng in the world had reached its peak.
Therefore, even if the massacre of prisoners of war will have an impact on Qin Hao's reputation, since Qin Hao has just defeated Yuan Meng to protect China, his prestige has reached a peak, and the impact of massacre of prisoners of war on Qin Hao is almost negligible.
To sum up, the massacre of prisoners can, firstly, put pressure on Yuanmeng, secondly, it can inspire Bai Qi's "human massacre", and thirdly, it will not have much impact on Qin Hao, so Qin Hao kept discouraging him from going his own way.
Of course, there are also disadvantages to massacre of prisoners. In addition to Qin Hao's reputation, the reconstruction of the Hetao is now in urgent need of a large number of laborers, and these prisoners of war are the best labor force. Once the massacre of prisoners is carried out, the reconstruction of the Hetao will also slow down.
It was precisely based on this consideration that Qin Hao did not massacre all the 320,000 Yuan-Mongolian prisoners of war, but only wanted to massacre 160,000 Yuan-Mongolian prisoners of war, while retaining the other 160,000 slaves as laborers.
In general, although the massacre of prisoners will have an impact on the reconstruction of the Hetao, this is only temporary.
By killing these heinous Yuanmeng prisoners of war, in exchange for the support of millions of people in Hetao and the huge war compensation from Yuanmeng, the reconstruction and command of Hetao will be faster and will not be slower in the future. After all, Qin Hao has already put great pressure on Hetao. With a population of two million summoned, there will definitely be no shortage of labor in the Hetao in the future.
Qin Hao was angry on the surface and massacred the Yuanmeng prisoners of war in retaliation. In fact, he was very calm and took everything into consideration.
Of course, others don’t think so. They only think that their master is irrational, but that’s okay, after all, no one has a temper.
Qin Hao is currently at a high-spirited age, and it is okay to be willful occasionally, and it is not a big mistake, so Liu Bowen did not continue to dissuade Qin Hao.
After receiving Qin Hao's massacre order, Bai Qi stood up excitedly. During this period, he was disturbed by the prisoners of war.
In the Battle of Hetao, Yuan and Meng massacred the people of Hetao too hard. After the war, almost every family in Hetao wore sackcloth and wore mourning. This feud was so great that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would never end.
Therefore, since the end of the war, local people in Hetao have been making trouble in front of Bai Qi's house every day, demanding the massacre of Yuan and Meng prisoners of war to avenge their dead relatives and friends. Of course Bai Qi also wanted to slaughter the prisoners, but without the Lord's order, how could he dare to issue such an order? After all, those are 320,000 people, not pigs.
Bai Qi had no choice but to do anything to the people in Hetao, so he had no choice but to make it clear to the people that he had no such right. The people could voluntarily submit the Wanmin Letter to Jinyang. If Qin Gong agreed, he would naturally obey the order.
Bai Qi threw the pot to Qin Hao, and with this throw, there were 500,000 people in Wan Minshu, and the number was still increasing, almost scaring the Jinyang officials to the point of peeing.
According to this trend, it will only be a matter of time before the number of people reaches one million. How many people are there in the Hetao naturalized population?
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jinyang's senior management immediately held a meeting to discuss, and the final result was that he could not be killed.
Officials must have the dignity of being an official. They cannot just follow what the people say. Otherwise, if the people have more excessive demands in the future, will they comply or not?
Of course, this was just a scene. The main reason was that Qin Hao, the lord, did not say anything, and the ministers did not dare to take the responsibility of massacring hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war.
Now that Qin Hao finally spoke, Bai Qi could finally deal with these Yuanmeng prisoners of war that he hated without any worries, but he was caught in another worry.
If the prisoner massacre incident occurs, it will definitely affect the reputation of his lord, and Bai Qi, like Liu Bowen, does not want this incident to affect his lord.
Since this order was given secretly and no one else knew about it, Bai Qi decided not to accept the order and instead used his own name to massacre the prisoners to help his lord fight against the infamy.
“Grand Governor, have you thought it through?”
Ran Min asked with a serious face, his eyes full of admiration. Anyway, he would never dare to do this without an order, otherwise there would be only death.
“There is nothing to consider. Now the people of Hetao are very angry. If these prisoners of war are not dealt with, riots will definitely occur.
As ministers, you should take the initiative to share the worries of the Lord. However, although the Lord intends to do some things, it is difficult to give orders. Now it is time for us to share the worries of the Lord.
Everyone, please rest assured that the slaughter of prisoners will be fully borne by me. You are just being coerced by me. Bai Qi said with a cold expression.
“What are you saying, Governor? Since we are here, we will never let the Governor bear the responsibility alone.
However, we can understand your painstaking efforts, but others may not. Not only will they not appreciate it, but they will impeach you..."
Meng Tian said worriedly. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Qi raising his hand.
“These people are just clowns.”
At this point, a look of confidence flashed across Bai Qi's face, and he smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, I still have some achievements to make, my lord, he will definitely protect me."
