Chapter 2087: Qingying Alliance (Part 1)
"What?"
After hearing Chu Ying's words, Wanyan Honglie was immediately shocked. He had long known that Chu Ying was a cruel and narrow-minded person, but he did not expect that he would be so cruel and wanted to force himself to eat human flesh to prove his loyalty. This is simply unreasonable.
Wanyan Honglie was completely angered and cursed angrily: "Chu Ying, you, you are so crazy, how could Aixinjueluo be so evil like you..."
Chu Ying interrupted again and said with a look of disdain: "Everything you say is false, only food that can satisfy your hunger is real.
When it comes time to run out of food, I would like to see how much strength you, Wanyan Honglie, have left. "
"I, Wanyan Honglie, hereby swear that even if I starve to death, I will never eat human flesh."
"hehe……"
Seeing Chu Ying and Wanyan Honglie arguing non-stop, Nurhachi was also a little upset and said displeased: "Shut up, everyone."
"twitter."
Both of them shut up honestly upon hearing this.
After Nurhaci pondered for a while, he said, "There is no need to mention the two-legged sheep matter. I will not agree. The Qing Dynasty has not reached that point yet."
"But Ama, if you don't eat these two-legged sheep, I'm afraid it won't be possible to hold on until you can recapture Lulong..."
Before Chu Ying finished speaking, he didn't dare to continue talking. He found that his father was staring at him.
Nurhachi glared at Chu Ying fiercely. He knew that his eldest son was stupid, but he didn't expect that he was so stupid that he couldn't even understand the meaning of his own words.
He just said it, but it hasn't reached that point yet, and the meaning is already obvious. After the food is cut off, and when the situation is really exhausted, human flesh can be considered to replace the military ration. After all, who cares about reputation if his life is gone.
But Chu Ying didn't hear such a simple truth. It's no wonder that Chu Ying was obviously the eldest son, but Nurhachi chose Huang Taiji as the prince.
Cannibalism and other unscrupulous things could indeed be done when the Manchus were still in the tribal era before the founding of the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Manchus at that time were uncivilized, just like savages who drank blood like hair and had no idea what civilization was.
But now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has established a country, has been educated, and has its own civilization, if they still dare to openly engage in such things as cannibalism, it is tantamount to self-destruction and classifying themselves as savages.
Not to mention that the people cannot accept this, even Nurhachi himself cannot accept it. Anyone who dares to do this is tantamount to secluded from the entire Manchu people.
Therefore, no matter what, it was impossible for Nurhachi to issue an explicit order to slaughter the people and use their human flesh as food for the army.
However, if it came in secret, although the Manchu and Qing senior officials would still have a grudge against it, considering that Nurhachi was also trying to protect himself, most people would definitely pretend not to see it and downplay the matter bit by bit.
Eventually, this matter will become a taboo that no one wants to mention again.
Not everyone is Chu Ying, and they can’t even understand such a simple truth. Most people present understood what Nurhaci meant. Although there was some resistance in their hearts, they could also understand Nurhaci’s difficulties. After all, eating people at that time would always It's better than starving to death.
Moreover, even if they eat human flesh, it will only be eaten by the lower-level soldiers. They, the high-level generals, will definitely not eat it. When they really want to eat human flesh, it means that the Qing army has completely run out of food and cannot even eat human flesh.
After Wanyan Honglie understood what Nurhaci meant, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He could not accept the matter of cannibalism no matter what. He did not want to eat it himself, nor did he want others to eat it, so he wanted to stand up and persuade Nurhaci to give up this matter. Thought, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Jin Wushu.
Wanyan Honglie struggled for a few times, but Jin Wushu refused to let go, so he looked at him dissatisfied, but Jin Wushu shook his head at him seriously, and said a few words without making any sound.
Wanyan Honglie understood Jin Wushu's mouth movements, and he felt as if he was struck by lightning. His face turned pale, and he stood back in despair without saying a word. He never stood up and said a word after that.
In the next few days, all the corpses of people who starved to death in Wuzhu and Junmi counties disappeared overnight, which suddenly caused uneasiness among the people in the city.
The old people in the city recalled the fear of being eaten by foreigners. Although it was still in the Wuhuan era, the Manchus were the descendants of the Wuhuan people.
Fearing that they would become food for foreigners, some people came together to the county government to demand an explanation and asked that the city gate be opened to let them out.
For these troublemakers, the Manchus had only one way to deal with them, kill them until they were frightened, and kill them until no one dared to cause trouble.
After killing all the troublemakers, the Manchus also gave an explanation in order to appease the people in the city.
The reason why all the corpses in the city have disappeared is to prevent the corpses from rotting and causing a plague. Currently, all the corpses have been cremated.
Regarding Nurhachi's explanation, although the people in the city were doubtful, they had no choice. If they resisted, they would die immediately, but if they did not resist, they could survive for a while.
Afterwards, Nurhachi let Chu Ying go. In order to prevent the hungry people from causing trouble, he imprisoned all the people who had no food to eat and were waiting to starve to death.
In fact, the disappeared corpses of people who starved to death, as well as these hungry people who were about to starve to death, were all the food reserves of the Qing Dynasty.
The reason why he did not go on a killing spree was not due to Nurhaci's conscience, but because the Qing Dynasty had not yet reached its end, but in order to make the best use of the materials without wasting anything, they collected the bodies of the dying people in advance and waited for them. After his death, he was made into dried meat.
It has to be said that under Qin Hao's pressing step by step, Nurhaci has been driven to panic, and now he can really do anything.
At the same time, brothers Yinzhen and Yinhu, who went to Japan and Sanhan to seek reinforcements, finally sent back the news.
Brothers Yinzhen and Yinhu went to Japan and Sanhan respectively. Yinzhen lobbied Oda Nobunaga, while Yinzhen lobbied Wang Mang.
The Three Hans were relatively close to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, so it was Yinhu who saw Wang Mang first and immediately informed Wang Mang of his intention to come.
Wang Mang, who concentrated on conquering the Three Korean Peninsula and destroyed several countries in a row, was about to unify South Korea. When he learned that 200,000 Qing troops were trapped in Youbeiping, and now the Qing army needed his navy to contain the Qin army's navy, Wang Mang's face changed. His expression is wonderful.
Wang Mang was very conflicted in his heart. He did not want to see the Qin army defeat the Qing army to increase Qin Hao's power, but he also hoped that the Qin army could weaken the Qing army, because only in this way could he hope to unify the three Koreas.
Wang Mang did not immediately agree to Yinhu's request. After considering it for several days, he rejected Yinhu's request to send troops.
