Chapter 428: Training Ground Flag Sacrifice 1
Xiao Si had the coffin carried out, then turned and asked, "Does the prince have any other instructions?"
"And the brothers in their guard company were buried with honor, and their families received generous pensions. Don't blame me for being cruel. If they didn't have other intentions, I wouldn't have taken their lives." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"The prince is merciful, but they are ungrateful and deserve this fate," said Xiao Si.
"Is there anyone in Beijing who opposes us?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"No more! Those who should be eliminated have been eliminated, and those left in the court are all loyal." Xiao Si said.
"Loyal? Most of them only appear to be loyal. As long as we show any signs of defeat, you will see! They will definitely jump for joy!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"If that day really comes, I will personally send them off!" Xiao Si said.
"I guess there won't be such a day. We will set off south to Jinan Prefecture tomorrow. There is no need to leave too many people in the capital. Come south with me. This time it will be another bloody storm!" Zhao Xiaofei said with emotion.
"Your Highness, they don't understand the way of heaven!" Xiao Si said.
Zhao Xiaofei was very surprised and asked, "Do you still understand what the Way of Heaven is?"
"Yes, I have read a lot of books since I became an official. Although I cannot compare with those scholars, I have also understood many principles." Xiao Si said with a smile.
"Oh! Tell me about it!" Zhao Xiaofei was quite interested.
"The chaos in the world has finally been calmed down, and the people should be allowed to recuperate! Instead of fighting over who will rule, aren't those sitting in power all members of the Zhu family?" Xiao Si said.
"You understand everything, but those officials and celebrities don't understand?" Zhao Xiaofei asked. Before Xiao Si could answer, Zhao Xiaofei continued, "They understand everything, but they can't let go of power or profit! Since they can't let go, let's make them give up their lives!"
When they returned to the palace that night, Zhaoren held the child in his arms and said to Zhao Xiaofei with a smile, "Husband, the baby looks so much like you!"
Zhao Xiaofei's heart warmed when he saw his daughter's adorable appearance. He reached out and hugged the girl, and named her Ruyi.
"Husband, is this the last battle? After the battle, will the world really be at peace?" Princess Zhaoren looked at Zhao Xiaofei and asked.
"I don't know! But a lot of people will die this time!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Why do they do this? The Ming Dynasty has given them a lot. Isn't my sister the empress?" Princess Zhaoren said.
"People are greedy. They are not angry because your sister became the queen, but because she did not get more power and more opportunities to make money." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"When our father asked them to contribute, they refused and refused. Now that the world is at peace, they are rebelling regardless of the wishes of the people. You can't let them go this time. All the men will be beheaded. All the women will be sent to the Jiaofang Bureau to be prostitutes. The Ming Dynasty can no longer be too kind to them." Princess Zhaoren said.
"Okay! I promise you! I will be leaving tomorrow, and Bumbutai and her son will be used as sacrifices." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I have Ruyi with me now, so it's not convenient for me to accompany you. Let Yunying accompany you south!" said Princess Zhaoren.
"No, it should be quick this time! The army they organized can be called an army? It's simply a mob!" Zhao Xiaofei said confidently.
He now commands the most capable and best-armed troops in the world. He can annihilate whomever he pleases. Don't be fooled by the southern landlords, gentry, and maritime merchants boasting of a million-strong army. Even if they truly had a million, how much fighting power could they possess?
Princess Zhaoren did not serve Zhao Xiaofei, but gradually grew up and became sensible. She pushed her husband into Li Sihong's room.
Li Sihong called Kou Baimen and Shen Yunying over. Li Sihong played the pipa while Kou Baimen danced for Zhao Xiaofei. Only Shen Yunying had nothing to do. She felt very embarrassed and could only wait on the side.
Kou Baimen had given birth to a child, but her figure was still as good as ever. Li Sihong had gained some weight in recent years, but she was definitely not fat.
Four people sleeping on the same quilt, huh! I wonder if Zhao Xiaofei's waist will break?
The next day, several women dressed Zhao Xiaofei and put on his armor. Xiao Si led his horse and guards to the Fengtai camp. He would lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Jinan and rendezvous there.
The Kenan Army now has 400,000 men who are truly capable of fighting, and 100,000 who have fought in the battles against Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng and in the Northern Expedition to Liaodong.
Zhao Xiaofei had left two hundred thousand men in the capital, fifty thousand of whom were battle-experienced. The remaining fifty thousand were well-trained, and protecting the capital was no problem. The Kennan Army in Liaodong remained largely unmoved.
Zhao Xiaofei asked the remaining 40,000 people who had been to the battlefield to go south first, and left 10,000 people to be led south by him personally.
In the training ground of Fengtai Camp, tens of thousands of people stood there quietly, waiting for the prince in their minds to come and inspect them.
Zhao Xiaofei rode into the training ground with his guards, and Bumbutai and Fulin were tied to pillars.
Bumbutai looked listless, her hair disheveled. It was thought that she and her son had perished in Huang Degong's rebellion, but it turned out they were both fine. Immediately, they were abducted by several Kenan Army soldiers and brought to the capital along with Zhao Xiaokun.
Months passed, and Bumbutai had been tortured beyond recognition. The soldiers guarding her would use her to satisfy their lust when they felt like it. When they were unhappy, they would beat her up and vent their lust again. They simply wouldn't let her die, and the Jinyiwei said if Fulin wanted to live a few more days, he shouldn't commit suicide.
After a woman becomes a mother, she is willing to sacrifice anything to allow her child to live even for one more day, so Bumbutai endured inhuman treatment.
