During the Daming dynasty, the Ma family and the Li family were both famous generals. They had the titles of East Li and West Ma. But now the Li family was desolate and the Ma family was dominant. The emperor would never be happy.
The competition and confrontation between the Li family and the Ma family, led by Li Rusong, might be a means of the emperor.
Ma Wei didn't know what the emperor had in store.
Ma Wei only knew that in the next five years, the Ma family would have to tuck its tail between its legs.
Xiao Ruxun was a person who liked to set big goals and then achieve them step by step. He liked to stabilize the rear first and then attack the people in front. When he did things, he must have internal stability.
The Northern Expedition to the Northern Barbarians to solve the troubles of the Northern Barbarians was a big goal. The war would not end soon, and it required the strength of the whole country. Once something happened in the country, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun made a five-year plan to build the Daqin into an iron plate in five years.
Anyone who tried to stop Xiao Ruxun from building the Daqin into an iron plate would be hammered to death by Xiao Ruxun without mercy. Those who died in the great purge were proof.
Xiao Ruxun was decisive and merciless. He liked to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no trouble for himself in the future.
If he became an enemy, then he must be the most terrible enemy of anyone in the world.
It was because Ma Wei had a basic understanding of Xiao Ruxun and the emperor that he could know the meaning behind everything the emperor did.
At present, it could be said that Xiao Ruxun could do whatever he wanted to do in Daqin. He only needed to move his mouth, and countless people would do it for him. Not to mention other things, the existence of Blackwater was enough to make people feel afraid.
The infiltration of Country R had reached such a degree that a few people could help the army make great contributions and play an unimaginable effect. The horror of the Blackwater troops was self-evident.
What if such people were used for internal infiltration and surveillance?
Just like the Imperial Bodyguard under Emperor Taizu of the former Ming Dynasty.
They knew what the ministers wore, what they ate, and what they said.
This was the least he could do.
Therefore, Ma Wei was cautious with his words and actions. He also warned the rest of the Ma family to be cautious with their words and actions. They must not be caught.
Otherwise, once Ma Shi's weakness was caught, it was hard to say whether Xiao Ruxun would show mercy or not.
Xiao Ruxun was no longer a general, he was the emperor.
It could be seen from Li Wenyuan's fate.
He used to be one of the commanding generals of the seven camps, but what about now?
He was still an ordinary policeman in Myanmar, muddle-headed, unable to see the future, nor did he dare to look at the past.
It was said that Zheng Ying and Li Wenyuan had written to each other. Li Wenyuan said that he had realized his mistake and wanted to ask Zheng Ying to plead on his behalf to Xiao Ruxun. Zheng Ying wanted to plead on Li Wenyuan's behalf because they used to be superior and subordinate. At the very least, he wanted to transfer him back to Beijing.
What was the result? It was said that before the army set out, Zheng Ying was called to the Imperial Palace and scolded. He ran out with his tail between his legs and went back to Xiangyang overnight.
If it were not for the credit of the conquest of Bozhou, it was estimated that Zheng Ying would not have a good end.
They did not know what happened to Li Wenyuan after that. Anyway, it was estimated that he had no hope of returning to the Central Plains in this life.
Similarly, there were some old friends in Myanmar, but they were now also in Myanmar, under strict detention and surveillance.
The cold heart of the iron-blooded emperor did not allow anyone to resist him.
Xiao Ruxun's power was getting bigger and bigger, to the point that they had to tremble in front of him and did not dare to raise their heads.
In the face of such a powerful emperor, who dared to resist?
Anyway, if Ma Wei did not dare, probably no one dared.
At present, the days of power, soldiers, status, and treatment were really much better than the days before Ming Dynasty. Why should he think about those trivial things?
Ma Wei began to think about how to dispel Xiao Ruxun's doubts and prove Ma Shi's eternal loyalty to Xiao Ruxun and Daqin.
At the same time, in Kyushu Island's Feizhen Country, Liu Tai and Chai Guozhu joined hands to carry out the first population screening officially.
With the help of the local garrison, the population screening team counted the population of each village one by one. After spending a lot of time, they came up with a population of more than 40,000 people. Among them, there were 6,103 young men, 7,537 young women, and the rest were old, weak, sick, and disabled.
On the 27th day of the fourth month of the second year of Longwu, which was the day when Ma Wei learned that the Emperor of Japan was captured alive, the population screening team began to move. Starting from the first village, they ordered the young men, young women, and the old, weak, sick, and disabled to be divided into three groups.
The young men stayed where they were, while the young women and the old, weak, sick, and disabled began to move in the same direction.
Some of these people's families were separated. At first, they didn't understand why, but when they saw that their families were going to be taken away, they immediately panicked and wanted to rush forward to take back their families. At this time, the newly formed Self-Defense Force under the jurisdiction of the Nihon Autonomous Association began to move.
They waved their sticks and rushed forward. While using their sticks to open the way, they shouted loudly, saying that this was just a normal inspection, and that they would be sent back soon.
However, the angry young men didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, they excitedly attacked the defensive line of the Self-Defense Force.
The defensive line was in danger.
Chai Guozhu shook his head. He couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hand, and a group of Daqin elites rushed forward. They pulled out their swords and began to hack.
Whoever rushed to the front would be beheaded. Whoever shouted the loudest and moved the most would be beheaded. After a few heads were chopped off, blood spurted out. Well, everything was over.
One after another, they cried out in terror and retreated backward. The elite soldiers of Qin army continued slaughtering their way into the group of young and muscular men, killing over one hundred men in a row. Finally, the young and muscular men lost their courage and dared not to move even a little bit. They could only watch helplessly as the young and muscular women, as well as the old and the weak, were brought away.
After that, Chai Guozhu and Liu Tai severely reprimanded the head of the Nihon Self-Defense Force, Ishikawa Hideichi.
"If you can't control the situation, then I don't know what the Daqin needs you for! If the Daqin is responsible for everything, and the Daqin army is responsible for controlling the situation, then what are you for? "
Ishikawa Hideichi was a Japanese official who had surrendered. Faced with Chai Guozhu's reprimand, he was frightened. He kept bowing and apologizing, saying that he would definitely reorganize the team. Then he turned around and loudly scolded the Nihon Self-Defense Force.
The wooden sticks given to them were very hard. If they really wanted to use them, they could definitely kill people. Chai Guozhu simply didn't mention any targets. He directly asked them to kill people in the next operation. If there was no blood, then they would be the first targets.
Ishikawa Hideichi was shocked. After thinking about it, he felt that if they didn't do this, they wouldn't be able to survive. So he ordered them to do as the Qin Army said.
"If we don't kill those unruly people, we won't be able to survive. Only by killing them can we survive!"
