Four Hundred and Five: Move the Capital to Chenzhou (11)
"My dear, be elegant and pay attention to your image. WwΩW.LieWen.Cc"
Xu Ke couldn't help but cover his face. Is this the true face of the son of the noble family?
Feng Jin, who attaches great importance to rules, secretly felt lucky.
Fortunately, the swear word she said was "I" instead of "I", otherwise how would it end?
Jiang Pengji calmed down for a while, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging anger in her heart.
She said to the troops with a cold face, "Don't be afraid, tell me all the information you have found out."
However, Jiang Pengji's momentum just now was too fierce, and the troops were scared enough. It took two breaths for them to find their voices.
"I followed the order of the young master and went to Xiangyang County to investigate the news. However, I found something wrong as soon as I arrived at the border of Xiangyang County. I found many corpses of civilians, all of whom were exposed in the wilderness with their families. The cause of death was neither due to earthquake injuries nor hunger or epidemics. After some identification, they all died from axes, hatchets, sticks or other heavy objects..."
After starting to speak, the soldier was no longer nervous, and spoke fluently, with clear pronunciation.
He continued to clasp his hands and reported, "...Not only that, after repeated inspections, I found that these civilians should have encountered enemies with far more numbers than themselves during their escape, and were beaten to death by the other side, with almost no struggle. Most of the men died miserably, while women or girls were pulled aside and died tragically after suffering varying degrees of humiliation. Such evil deeds are despicable."
It is true that they are a mob.
This exploration team found many such corpses at the border of Xiangyang County. Not only did they die miserably, but their clothes or valuables were rudely snatched away. Many people were naked, their bodies exposed to the scorching sun, and they died with their eyes open.
Jiang Pengji listened calmly, his expression did not change at all, but the atmosphere around him was a little solemn, and the audience in the live broadcast room also stopped chatting and farting, as if they were infected by the solemn and murderous atmosphere on the scene, and they couldn't help but want to straighten their backs and take it seriously.
Jiang Pengji's voice became colder, "Go on."
The soldier said, "Several of us pretended to be refugees. After entering Xiangyang County, we were interrogated several times. After several attempts, we learned that Xiangyang County had been occupied by a blue-clothed army three days after the earthquake, and the Xiangyang County mansion was occupied."
"Blue-clothed army..." Feng Jin sat on the side and murmured, as if he didn't expect a group of rabble to break through Xiangyang County.
The county government of Xiangyang County was very poor, but it had some soldiers, plus the servants of the local gentry, adding up to at least one or two thousand, not to mention three or five thousand. These people faced a group of mobs with hoes, hatchets, and axes, and they lost so easily?
"Besides that, is there any other specific information?"
Jiang Pengji frowned, and she wanted to ride on the big white horse and lead people to kill. For her, her things were hers, and the things she liked were also hers. Whoever dared to stretch his claws into her territory, he would chop off one claw after another!
Not only that, according to the story of the troops, these Qingyi soldiers were not good stuff at all.
Now she is the county magistrate of Xiangyang County, Xiangyang County is her territory, and the people above are protected by her.
The Qingyi soldiers really don't care about their lives.
The troops said, "We have been waiting in Xiangyang County for two days and found that the Qingyi Army is not an ordinary mob. One of them is called the Nine Generals of the Qingyi Army. He is strong and sturdy, holding two huge axes. The gate of Xiangyang County was chopped into pieces by his axe. All officials of Xiangyang County were killed, and the gentry and nobles were purged, with countless deaths and injuries."
The tragic scenes that the troops saw were more than just this, there were even more unbearable scenes.
The leader of the Qingyi Army confiscated the homes of the gentry and nobles, beheaded all the men who were taller than the shaft of the cart, and used those who were shorter as prostitutes. As for the women, not only were they tied to a rope with hemp rope, but they were also ordered to show their bodies to others as military performers of the Qingyi Army.
All the people of the Qingyi Army are eligible to enjoy it. If anyone resists, most of them will end up with a dead body.
The troops did not hide anything and told everything they saw and knew.
Jiang Pengji sneered and crushed the ceramic bowl in her hand. Even Feng Jin, who was usually calm and composed, had a murderous look on his face.
The audience in the live broadcast room finally realized that this was the rhythm of a fight.
[Nutri-Express]: No - didn't they say that the Qingyi Army were all civilians before? Why are they so unscrupulous?
[Potato and Beef Shredded Rice Bowl]: These evil deeds are simply not something that humans can do. They are all beasts!
[Genius Guo Fengxiao]: Although I also think that the Qingyi Army is not human, but a group of beasts, have you listened carefully to the report of the troops? I personally think that it is terrifying to think about it. The origin of the Qingyi Army is mostly bandits or robbers. This earthquake caused Wanzhou to almost collapse. The court patted its butt and moved the capital directly. If the anchor hadn't written a petition, it is estimated that even the civilians in Shangjing would have died...
Due to the input word limit, this audience quickly typed another paragraph.
[Genius Guo Fengxiao]: The inaction of the Dongqing royal family and the emperor's stupidity and idiocy became the last straw that drove these mobs crazy. So they picked up their axes and carrying poles, retaliated crazily, and even committed such inhumane atrocities. By the way, the real ancient wars were far more cruel than these. If you don't believe me, you can check the Five Barbarians' Rebellion and what a two-legged sheep is.
[Old Driver Lian Meng]: I have a feeling that live broadcasts will be bloody from now on. Those who have the psychological endurance should quit live broadcasts as soon as possible to avoid psychological trauma. In addition, whether the Qingyi Army was a victim before or not, this is not a reason for them to commit violence.
The barrage almost covered the entire virtual screen tightly, and the messages were almost one page per second.
Jiang Pengji didn't have time to look at those records at this moment.
She had already had the intention to kill.
If she didn't kill the foreign mobs who went to her territory and killed her people, how could she be willing!
Feng Jin saw her thoughts and lowered his eyes and said, "Lanting, we still have two thousand troops in Fengyi County to rescue the disaster. Now we only have one thousand troops and one thousand imperial guards. They have traveled a long distance and are exhausted, but the Qingyi Army has more than ten thousand mobs. If we want to attack Xiangyang County, we must not act recklessly. We need to make a comprehensive plan. At least, you have to settle the people who follow you."
"I know." Jiang Pengji put his ten fingers together, as if thinking.
If she hadn't brought nearly 20,000 civilians from the capital, she would have counted the people and marched to Xiangyang County.
Attacking and defending are two completely different concepts, especially when the defending side has a large number of people and can rely on the convenience of the houses and terrain.
If the two thousand people were not carefully arranged and all were pulled over, even if they could be captured, the result would be heavy casualties.
