By the time Guan Qi let the three of them arrive at the council hall, they were almost there.
After the three of them saluted and took their seats, Wei Ci still looked absent-minded and pale.
Jiang Pengji frowned slightly. If there is no major matter, according to Wei Ci's sense of responsibility, she will not be distracted in public affairs.
After looking around, she was sure that all the confidants who could come were here, so Jiang Pengji cleared her throat and said the reason for the emergency call.
"I received an urgent secret letter from Nansheng this morning. The Nansheng Allied Forces captured the four hinterlands and captured more than one million people. After the discussion of the Allied princes, the decision to slaughter the four barbarians was unanimously approved." Jiang Pengji's eyes were calm, as if to say A trivial matter.
Everyone had heard the wind before they came, but when they really heard the news from Jiang Pengji's mouth, Yang Si and others were also moved. People are dying in a chaotic world, and wars always kill people. They were mentally prepared, but they slaughtered millions of people all at once...
Li Yun tentatively said, "Millions of young men?"
Jiang Pengji said angrily, "The population of the four southern barbarians is not large. After the chaos in the past ten years, how could there be a million young men? If there were such a million young men, they would have swept the Nansheng Allied Forces. Most of the population consists of elderly people, women and children, and babies, perhaps even a fetus in the womb of a woman. The Nansheng Allied Forces are venting their hatred of destroying the country and the family, but they are too cruel.”
The four southern barbarians have been fighting for years, and the rate of consumption of young adults cannot keep up with the rate of replenishment. Coupled with the epidemic last year, the combat power has been severely damaged. If the weather had not turned cold soon after the outbreak of the epidemic, which had somewhat suppressed the epidemic, more people would have been killed by the epidemic.
In ancient times, the medical level was poor, the awareness of hygiene was poor, the awareness of prevention was poor, and the medical resources were in short supply. Once an epidemic broke out, the casualties would definitely be more tragic than the earthquake in Beijing back then. Is it true? According to Jiang Pengji's knowledge, there were several large-scale epidemics in this era, which affected a wide range. The number of casualties from each epidemic was more than one million. It should be noted that the entire population of Dongqing is only over 20 million!
Qi Guanrang frowned and said, "Even if it is the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family, the method of massacring and destroying the family is really cruel."
Pushing forward hundreds of years, wars and slaughter are very common, but as time goes by, genocide has long been unpopular.
No one said how many people were killed during the war, but after more victories, few people would continue to slaughter prisoners unless their own rations were insufficient. Under normal circumstances, the victors relegated defeated prisoners to slavery, trafficked people, or used them as cheap corvée labor.
Most of the above prisoners refer to the soldiers who participated in the war but were defeated, but most of the prisoners massacred by the Nansheng Allied Forces were old and weak women and children.
"Don't say who is cruel, the Nansheng Allied Forces and the Nanman Four Groups are the same raccoon dog in my opinion." Jiang Pengji snorted, "When the Nanman Four tribes slaughtered the people of Nansheng, I didn't see their subordinates showing mercy. In the early days of the founding of Nansheng, in order to prevent the chaos of the southern barbarians, hundreds of thousands of southern barbarians were seized and served as soldiers, and more than 200,000 died in battle. Nansheng also claimed to be the suzerain state of the four southern barbarians. Nine, sending troops to suppress it several times, slaughtering more than 100,000 Nanmen, this is a bad debt!"
In the early days of the founding of Nansheng, how many nobles relied on the blood steamed buns of the four southern barbarians to plump their pockets
Forcibly arrest them as slaves, doing the heaviest work for the least food.
Don't treat them as human beings, just as talking animals!
The hatred of the four southern barbarians towards Nansheng was not forced out by these people
After the growth of the four southern barbarians, they destroyed Nansheng, and the princes of Nansheng joined forces to counterattack the southern barbarians, until they made the decision to slaughter one million people.
It’s okay to exterminate the clan, but don’t use the banner of justice for revenge, how clean do you really think you are
Among the lords of the Nansheng Allied Forces, how many ancestors have enjoyed the sweetness of the blood steamed buns from the four tribes of Nanman
Jiang Pengji felt that this group of people was also interesting, and they played the double standard quite smoothly.
To fight is to fight, to kill is to kill, to annihilate a family is to annihilate, so don’t use messy excuses to decorate peace.
"A murderer should have the consciousness of being killed!"
Seeing that Jiang Pengji's words became more and more outrageous, Qi Guanrang and Wei Ci coughed in unison.
The two looked at each other in the air, and quickly staggered their gazes.
Jiang Pengji rubbed her head and said, and had to brake to stop her mouth and deal with this content vaguely.
It's not that she's cowardly, it's just that Nan Sheng and Nan Man are not the main body of today's discussion, so there's no need to waste time.
"Nansheng is next to me, and Zhangzhou is the land under the control of Yang Tao, the prince of Nansheng. If Yang Tao has ambitions, the three counties of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Hu have no natural danger protection, and it is very easy to fall, and the lord has to guard against it." Yang Si stood up and turned the corner. "If Nansheng is not threatened by foreign aggression, he will only need three to five years of cultivation to recover his vitality, and then he will become a serious trouble for his confidants. According to the minister's opinion, we need to make early countermeasures."
This is not called robbery, it is called prevention before it happens!
Who let this kid Yang Tao occupy Zhangzhou
Zhangzhou is a great hidden danger for the three places of Zhejiang County, Hu County and Hu County.
Because there is not enough natural insurance.
If Yang Tao sent troops from Zhangzhou, the defense of these three places would be extremely difficult, and who could rest assured.
However, the three counties are relatively rich places under the rule of Jiang Pengji, and the Hu county is a big producer. Once lost, the loss can be fatal!
Anyway, Nansheng had already destroyed Nanman, and Jiang Pengji chose this opportunity to send troops, and the world could not accuse her of anything.
"Jingrong's worries are exactly what I worry about." Jiang Pengji said, "What opinions do you have on this?"
Even though Jiang Pengji already had the Zhan Shen Dao in her hand, she was hungry and thirsty, but she still had to go through the process.
Fighting does not mean that you can fight, and you have to search your guts to find a legitimate excuse before fighting.
Can't say "because I suspect Yang Tao will beat me in the future, so I'm going to strangle him now"
She and Yang Tao are not friends, but they are not enemies either. The two have cooperated twice, and there seems to be no reason for conflict.
Jiang Pengji has an excuse, but she needs her subordinates to cooperate with her to turn over the old accounts.
Feng Zhen's trembling wit has come to understand.
An excuse for war
Just happened to have one! Last year, when her lord cleaned up Tao, Tao played a suffocating operation, trying to make her and Yang Tao have a grudge. However, this matter was suppressed by the lord, and Yang Tao was also busy in the Nansheng battlefield, and did not give any response.
Fengxin's mood changed, and he immediately had an idea.
Here Jiang Pengji was sharpening his knife, but Yang Tao, who was far away in Nansheng, didn't know it at all.
Not only that, he also suffered a minor illness, and lost weight in a few days.
As Yang Tao's close friend, Yan Lin naturally knew where the root of the disease was.
To put it bluntly, Yang Tao is still too pure and kind.
If it weren't for this, Yang Tao wouldn't have witnessed such a disease after the Nanman was exterminated.
