【Is the war over?】

【Is it finally over?】

Jun Baozhu confirmed with the system.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and the only sound that could be heard was the emperor's heavy breathing.

After receiving a positive response from the system, Jun Baozhu said:

[How is the Ninth Prince's brother? ]

[After being sent to the Fourth Prince by the secret guards, I persuaded the Fourth Prince to rush to the front line immediately, but it was too late? ]

......

Jun Baozhu was silent for a moment and then said:

[Except for the last 20,000 who surrendered, were all the rest of the Pingxi Army wiped out? ]

[Will he bring disaster to the imperial court in the future? ]

【Won't?】

Jun Baozhu couldn't say the word "good".

If it were in the past, Jun Baozhu would have jumped for joy after hearing the latest news revealed by the system, but at this moment, her eyes were wide open but she couldn't laugh.

But, I repeated in my heart:

[After properly settling the prisoners of war, the fourth prince took the initiative to stay and clean up the battlefield...]

[Brother Ninth Prince, take people to clean up Prince Cheng's lair? ]

[Fourth Prince, are you afraid that Ninth Prince will be sad by making such an arrangement? ]

[The Ninth Prince held back his grief and sent two secret guards to investigate the Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Hepingxi Army's armory? ]

[Also lead 5,000 Pingxi troops to sweep Prince Cheng's mansion? ]

[The results of the battle were fruitful. In addition to finding fifty boxes of gold and one hundred boxes of silver in Prince Cheng's mansion, several other places where property and weapons were hidden were found in the secret room of Prince Cheng's mansion? ]

[How could Prince Cheng accumulate so much wealth in less than 30 years of occupying the West? ]

[What?! In the western mountains, they not only hide an iron mine, but also a gold mine and a silver mine? ]

[These gold and silver were all poured privately, and according to the account books, they were circulated to the four surrounding countries...]

[Iron ore is collected and smelted in one, and mainly flows to Xiangshan State...]

[Xiangshan Kingdom? Xiangshan Kingdom again! ]

Jun Baozhu couldn't help but feel scared.

[Fortunately, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince strengthened the defense of the capital in advance, so weapons, iron ore, and strangers could not enter...]

[Otherwise, with the endless supply of weapons made from iron ore and a large amount of gold and silver as support, the consequences for the people of the capital and even the imperial palace... would be disastrous! ]

[Did we find good stuff in the Pingxi Army's base camp? Improved heavy bow blueprints, finished heavy bows, hundreds of them, and countless heavy bows and arrows? ]

Jun Baozhu took a breath again.

[If it weren't for the fact that the Pingxi Army was caught off guard and thought they had won, they would have left the heavy bows to celebrate...]

[Even if the Dongzhao Army arrives, with so many weapons in stock, if they want to decide the outcome, the Pingxi Army will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties...]

[No wonder Prince Cheng is so confident. He owns countless mineral deposits, countless gold and silver, has money and weapons, can recruit soldiers and trade. No wonder he is so unscrupulous and not afraid of the court! ]

Hearing this, the prince looked towards the emperor...

Sure enough, the emperor's bloodless face turned even paler, and his hands that were holding the back of the chair were trembling slightly.

The father who was once as majestic as a mountain was about to be swallowed up by overwhelming frustration and self-blame...

On that day, even though the meal was served as usual, no one was willing to pick up their chopsticks at the table.

One hundred thousand people died!

In less than three days, one hundred thousand people died!

If the initial consumption is included, a total of 120,000 people died!

Less than half a month!

No one has ever seen a million corpses, but how many families would have been destroyed if there were 120,000 people?

The key is that they are all citizens of Dafeng!

Compatriots kill each other and relatives mutilate themselves.

When it got dark, Jun Baozhu asked the system:

[How are the Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince's brothers doing now? ]

Although the battle was over and there was no danger for the time being, Jun Baozhu was secretly worried about her brother, the Ninth Prince.

[Prince Cheng's mansion was sealed, the army was temporarily requisitioned, where was the Pingxi Army's original station? 】

[The Ninth Prince was so excited that he couldn't rest at all. The Fourth Prince saw that something was wrong and knocked the Ninth Prince unconscious. He asked the doctor to prescribe tranquilizers so that the Ninth Prince could rest for a while? ]

The queen's eyes were red and her face showed heartache.

[The fourth prince is methodical in his work. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he has fully sought the opinions of the veterans of the Eastern Recruiting Army...]

[The corpse cannot stay at the scene for too long, otherwise it is easy for a plague to break out. ]

[Inside the military tent, he discussed with the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Recruiting Army for a long time, determined the rules, and pushed forward in an orderly manner? ]

[Fourth Prince, write to the magistrates of the ten surrounding counties and the ten counties that are receiving the people...]

[The people who have been relocated will not be withdrawn for the time being. Once the bodies are cleaned up and the site is disinfected, and there is no plague, the people can move back. ]

[The imperial court will provide assistance, and the ten counties that have been taken over will continue to do a good job in resettling the people and properly arrange for their food, clothing, housing and medical care.]

[The vacant ten county magistrates were mainly responsible for raising medicinal materials and medicines, recruiting doctors, and jointly preventing the plague. Of course, the expenses were borne by the court.]

[Here, Fourth Prince, of course you have to confiscate Prince Cheng's property.]

[According to the reminders of the generals and veterans of the Dongzhao Army, all soldiers took off their cloth, covered their mouths and noses, and began to dig pits...]

[When the surrounding county magistrates prepare doctors and medicinal materials, the exposed corpses are likely to begin to rot and become diseased...]

[Under the command of the Fourth Prince and the leader, the soldiers advanced in an orderly manner, digging pits, building wooden frames, and carrying corpses...]

[No time to distinguish the identities, there are too many corpses! ]

【Burn in a deep pit and bury on the spot.】

[The entire battlefield was like hell on earth, with flames burning everywhere, burning the bodies of compatriots or opponents, but they were all Dafeng people...]

Not only did the people at the table lose their appetite, Jun Baozhu lowered her head and vomited.

I vomited for the next three days.

He was not very active in drinking milk, and his round little face became visibly sunken. Everyone who saw him felt very distressed.

I didn't hear any other thoughts, but seeing her reaction like that, I knew what was going on.

Three days later, Jun Baozhu's eyes suddenly widened and she spoke from her heart.

【Burning finished? 】

Everyone's expression tensed, and Jun Baozhu also had a serious expression.

[Have all the bodies been dealt with? ]

[Following the doctor's advice, I picked up some quicklime, sprinkled it in the urn, buried it thoroughly, and then covered it with soil? ]

[The Ninth Prince's brother has woken up? He ordered everyone to put up a sign at the burial site, and asked the county magistrate to help invite monks from nearby temples to come and pray for the deceased's soul? ]

The hall was silent.

Jun Baozhu's childish voice echoed in the air.

[Even if I am saved, in my next life, I will not use weapons or hoes anymore...]

[Be faithful to your duties, stay with your family, and live a long life...]

This is the first time the prince sees his father cry.

He stood up silently and stood in front of his father, allowing him to cry as much as he wanted and maintain his dignity and respect...
