Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh: Disposal of captives

"Brother and sister-in-law, please save my little brother, he doesn't want to die!"

There is great terror between life and death, and not everyone can accept death as home. Holding Ma Qiancheng's legs, Ma Qian cried so miserably.

"Qiansi, if I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place! You committed a major crime of treason. How did you ask your elder brother to save you?"

Ma Qiancheng, who was in a complicated mood, couldn't help but smile helplessly as he saw his brother, who had been competing with him for the position of Shizhu's governor, kneeling in front of him with his mother's support.

Speaking of which, a large part of the reason why Ma Qiansi ended up where he is today is because of his and Ma Qiancheng's common mother, Qin.

As the Ma family came from the Han to the barbarians, logically speaking, it is natural for the eldest son to inherit. Therefore, the position of the Shizhu Xuanfu envoy should be inherited by Ma Qiancheng.

However, due to various reasons, the Qin family, who previously held the post of Shizhu's Xuanfu envoy, preferred his younger son Ma Qiansi and wanted Ma Qiansi to succeed him.

Therefore, in order to strengthen Ma Qiansi's ability to seize the direct heir, the Qin family sought out foreign aid for Ma Qiansi. In the end, she married her lover Yang Yinglong and allowed Ma Qiansi to take Yang Yinglong's daughter.

So this time Yang Yinglong rebelled, regardless of whether it was voluntary or not, Ma Qiansi joined the rebels anyway, and ended up being buried with Yang Yinglong.

"It's cold, give those underage children some extra clothes!"

Just as Ma Qiansi was crying and hugging Ma Qiancheng's thighs, begging for help, on the other side, looking at the children of the Yang clan in the square who were shivering either because of fear or the cold, Wang Bing

But he couldn't help but think of his own children.

"The order goes down, Yang's rebellion will be dealt with according to his own laws, and the troops will not abuse him!"

Finally, because of those children, Wang Bing, who was filled with compassion, sighed secretly and issued an order not to abuse the Yang clan members.

"The champion's great kindness will be remembered by the sinners, and he will be repaid with a ring of grass in the next life!"

After hearing Wang Bing's two orders one after another, the Yang clan members who had previously looked blank except for the low sobbing of some women, children, and children, now all knelt down to Wang Bing with sincere expressions on their faces.

"Haha, speaking of you, I am still the executioner who destroyed your Yang family! You naturally don't have to thank the executioner!"

Shaking his head, Wang Bing didn't take the Yang family's gratitude to heart at all. Since these people were born in the Yang family, and since they enjoyed the wealthy and prosperous life when the Yang family was prosperous, they naturally have to bear the responsibilities of the Yang family.

The punishment for the crime committed.

The reason why he ordered not to abuse these Yang family members was just because he thought of his own children, and it was out of pity for those children, not because he felt wronged against the Yang family.

What's more, although the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that those who conspire to rebel or commit serious treason, regardless of whether they are principals or accomplices, will be punished. Grandfathers, sons, grandsons, brothers and people who live with them will also be executed, but those under the age of sixteen will be spared death.

Therefore, his order to 'treat' those children is not considered an extra-legal favor.

However, although Wang Bing himself did not take this small favor to heart, how could the person who received this favor remain indifferent?



"Come here, hurry up for eight hundred miles and try to get the good news to His Majesty before the last court meeting at the end of the year!"

After temporarily dealing with the affairs of the Yang clan, Wang Bing immediately sent out the victory documents, which was a settlement for the twenty-fourth year of Wanli. At the same time, the little fat man was able to settle a worry and live a good year.

!

"Lao San, what should we do with those rebel prisoners?"

Just after Wang Bing sent someone to send away the victory report, Hu Dabiao and others put a big problem in front of Wang Bing.

Speaking of which, except for this final battle of attacking and hoarding, except for Zhu Heling and An Jiangchen who did not strictly implement Wang Bing's "Three Execution Orders" in order to rush for time, the rest of the army strictly implemented this military order.

.

Therefore, until the capture of Hailongtun, the Ming army did not take any prisoners in this Pingbo battle.

However, this time they took over 30,000 rebel prisoners in this offensive. Therefore, Hu Dabiao and others, who were undecided about whether to continue to implement the previous military orders, could only push this problem to him.

General Broadcasting Strategy.

"Oh, let me think about it again!"

Wang Bing also had a headache about this prisoner. Although he was furious because of the Qijiang murder case and issued the extremely cruel "Three Execution Orders" to the soldiers and civilians of Bozhou, he still killed so many people along the way.

Finally, the anger in Wang Bing's heart was basically gone.

In addition to the influence of his 'previous life', Wang Bing actually had a good impression of these southwestern 'ethnic brothers'. Now that the war was over, it was indeed unbearable for him to order the killing of prisoners again.

However, regarding the policy regarding this prisoner, the little fat man had already made it clear that no prisoners would be kept in this battle; secondly, he himself had also issued a "three execution orders". If the order was changed overnight, it would be a bit...

"Forget it, let the brothers work hard for two more days to screen these rebel prisoners of war again. Anyone who participated in the Qijiang massacre will be killed! The rest, who are short of manpower right now, can be used as road construction workers!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Bing still couldn't bring himself to kill all the rebel prisoners. The "Three Execution Orders" issued before the expedition were naturally invalidated now.

"General, we don't know who participated in the Qijiang massacre. How can we identify them? Is it possible to let them tell for themselves? But who would be so stupid?"

Upon hearing the order given by Wang Bing, the generals were immediately speechless.

"Haha, what's so difficult about this? Can't we just let them expose each other?"

Seeing everyone's speechless look, Wang Bing couldn't help but feel a little gloating as he got rid of the problem.

"Report on each other? Then if they bite each other..."

Regarding the method given by Wang Bing, the heroine Qin Liangyu couldn't help but frown. Under this attack, there will definitely be someone who has been wronged...

"Haha, then there is nothing we can do. We can only blame them for making careless friends and being unpopular!"

Seeing Qin Liang's frowning expression, Wang Bing waved his hand indifferently.

"I am not Lord Qingtian, and I have no obligation to distinguish the authenticity for them. What's more, since these people have rebelled, they should die. Moreover, His Majesty has already decreed that no prisoners will be kept in this battle, and I resist the decree.

The risks involved gave some of them a chance to survive, which can be regarded as an act of kindness and justice."

"It was the last general who was abrupt!"

Hearing what Wang Bing said, Qin Liangyu remembered that the emperor had made it clear before the war that no prisoners would be taken in this battle.

"Haha, let them do this, General Qin doesn't have to participate!"

Seeing the guilty look on the other party's face, Wang Bing waved his hand again, but for the first time, he addressed Qin Liangyu as "general".
