Chapter 26 On Why Prisoners Are Killed

"Zhang Mo, here's a good book for you!" Rolling up the silk cloth, Li Ming threw it to Zhang Mo directly.He has already learned this martial skill, not to mention it, and it is not a powerful martial skill in itself, just give it if you give it, there is no psychological pressure.

"Thank you, Captain, thank you, Captain!" Zhang Mo first replied politely, and after seeing the contents inside the cloth, he became excited and sincerely thanked him again.

"Anyone of you who are interested can learn it. After all, it's just a basic level of martial arts." Li Ming said indifferently.

Zhu Yong stepped forward when he heard the words, and said to him in a low voice: "Even if it is a basic martial skill, not everyone is qualified to learn it. Among other things, find a suitable partner and sell this martial skill. Always money!"

One thousand copper coins is considered consistent, two wheat cakes only cost one five baht, and four wheat cakes plus a plate of green vegetables do not exceed three copper coins a day. This is the food expenses that many people need for a day.One thousand copper coins, not considering the meat, is enough for a person's food expenses for more than half a year.

A pot of rice wine costs only fifty cash, a small dish of mutton costs only thirty cash, and a widow with a half-closed door costs only a hundred cash.No wonder, Zhu Yong would say that Li Ming was willing.

"Cough, Zhang Mo, let's discuss it... If you sell this cheat book one day..." Li Ming coughed lightly.

"The last general will definitely offer it all!" Zhang Mo was not stupid, so he agreed directly.

"Don't worry, just give me two hundred coins, and you can share the remaining eight hundred coins!" Li Ming said embarrassingly.

"Then I really thank the captain!" Zhu Yong joked after hearing the words.

"Sir, the captives have been counted. Only 300 Yellow Turban stragglers were captured, and the remaining [-] have scattered away. Please give me instructions on how to deal with these prisoners!" Yang Le and Simpi also came back one after another. Among them, Yang Le stepped forward first, and asked with his hands clasped.

"How about our deaths?" Li Ming was not in a hurry, and looked directly at Simpi.

"Five people were killed, 30 people were injured, a big victory!" Simpi was very excited at the moment. He had just set out for half a day, and he won more with less, and it was still a big victory.As for the death of five people, it can be completely ignored in front of this record.

"We only have 900 people. How about absorbing all the 2000 Yellow Turban stragglers? Anyway, we just plan to recruit [-] people!" Li Ming thought for a while and suggested.

"No!" But he didn't expect that he just raised it, not only Zhu Yong, but the other three people also objected immediately.

"Why?" Li Ming couldn't figure it out. There were more than 200 Yellow Turban stragglers, all young and strong, and all of them had combat effectiveness.Not to mention Lao Cao, hasn't he also been included?It's called Qingzhou soldiers!
"We only have 900 people. If they suddenly riot, it will be difficult for us to control. And they are all rebels. They have already enjoyed the pleasure and benefits of rebellion, and it is impossible for them to settle down. As long as they are dissatisfied with their treatment, It is very likely that there will be an uproar in the camp, which will lead to a change in the camp!" Zhu Yong said solemnly, Li Ming saw determination in his eyes, and he would firmly prevent Li Ming from recruiting these people no matter what.

"They are all Zhang Jiao's believers, not pure rioters!" Simpi knew better, "As long as Zhang Jiao is not dead, they will not rise up again with an order. Before killing Zhang Jiao, all the Yellow Turbans Thieves are dangerous! Maybe many of them are civilians who are coerced, but we can't take risks!"

After Simpi said that, Li Ming finally understood.Why in history, Lao Cao could incorporate Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and Baibo and Heishan Yellow Turbans.Ganqing Zhang Jiao was dead at the time, and these remnants of the Yellow Turbans had changed from believers to pure traitors.

Indeed, religious elements cannot be treated equally with ordinary people, especially fanatics.For an illusory ideal and his belief, they can even turn into human bombs and carry out suicide attacks.This situation is almost too common in later generations.

"Then what should they do? Sell it to the local wealthy family for some money?" Li Ming pointed to the captives not far away.

"No!" Simpi shook his head, "The slaves rebelled, and the owners must also bear certain responsibilities. So as long as they are not stupid, no one will buy them. And many of them rebelled because they couldn't survive. , if they know that there is still a way out after defeat, then they will continue to rebel."

"Yes! Only by letting them know how much the cost of rebellion is, there will be fewer rebellions in the land of China in the future! Therefore, there is only one countermeasure against rebellion in all dynasties, and that is 'kill all'! Of course, There are exceptions, but this exception does not apply to the current Yellow Turban bandits!" Zhu Yong solemnly reminded.

"So, to kill?" Li Ming couldn't believe it, this was [-] human lives, not [-] pigs!
"That's the only way! Even if it might make the yellow scarf thieves in the future desperately resist, but at this stage, we can only deal with it like this!" Zhu Yong nodded affirmatively.

"Huh..." Li Ming felt that he was about to suffocate, [-] lives were so worthless.

"In batches, find a few hidden places!" Li Ming said slowly.

"Here!" The three breathed a sigh of relief, they could see Li Ming's sympathy for these captives, and they were really worried that Li Ming would recruit them or let them go.

In fact, what Li Ming didn't know was that in history, when Zhu Jun broke the Bocai Ministry, he also murdered tens of thousands of prisoners.Huangfusong and Lu Zhi's tribe are similar, they have only one strategy against the Yellow Turban Bandits, and that is to kill them all and never tolerate them!

In addition, there are 200 people now, will there be tens of thousands in the future?How will the extra soldiers be supported, or should they be dismissed on the spot?As long as you start, then others come to seek refuge, can they still refuse so decisively?

If he rebelled, not only was he not punished, but he became an officer, then what would the other common people think, they would rebel one after another.Not to mention, in recent years, the rebellion situation in various places has indeed become more and more intense.

The key point is that there are still many powerful and landlords, and I am afraid that they are also waiting to join the army to gain some military merits.If the position is taken by the former Yellow Turban thief, what do others think?Not only will it disgust other families, but it will also lower their taste.If these aristocratic families deliberately slander, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the few of them.

In this era of underdeveloped communication, if one's reputation is damaged, the impact may be life-long!
200 people were finally taken to a remote place by three people to be executed secretly, and the corpses were cremated on the spot according to Li Ming's order.All the heads were collected and transported back for meritorious service.The quartermaster under Zhu Jun's command will conduct an inspection, and if there are no old, weak, women or children, they will register and report to Zhu Jun, and then record the merits.

At this time, these heads can be buried or burned on the spot.

Of course, this is nearly [-] heads in real terms, and Zhu Jun is not the kind of existence who would withhold military achievements, so naturally there is no need to worry.Li Ming was also in a slump at the moment, so he rode his horse directly to the county seat and silently watched the gate of the county seat open.
