"Want to come up and try it?"
A voice came from above. The noble man clenched his fists, his expression changed several times, and finally he knelt down with a plop.
Resist?
Even the king was defeated and the prince was hanged in public. Why should he resist?
"Sir, please let go of the dog, I am willing to give half of my family property!"
"Very good." Chen Xing grabbed the man's son by the collar and threw it off. The son of aristocratic family screamed and fell off the gallows, threw himself on the dog and gnawed the mud.
"Father, why should you give him money? Who is he?"
"He is just a country bumpkin, a country dog, we don't need to be afraid at all!" The aristocratic son struggled to get up and grabbed the corner of his father's clothes, "Father, you beat him, you beat him! Beat him to death!"
In the eyes of over-indulged children, parents are omnipotent. Even the commander-in-chief of a group of armies who faces the destruction of a city and the country can still rush forward and beat the enemy until they are full of teeth.
"Presumptuous!" The noble man was furious and slapped his son hard on the face. The palms contained spiritual energy, which directly slapped the opponent in circles several times, spurting out teeth mixed with blood.
Before the noble man could recover from his dizziness, the aristocratic man grabbed him by the collar and roared, "If you dare to say another word, I will beat you to death on the spot!"
"How could I have given birth to a fool like you!" The noble man was trembling with anger. "If you want to die, die by yourself. Don't hurt us!"
"Get out, get out of here, get away!"
In his father's rage, the aristocratic son rolled away and ran away.
"Bah, bang, bang!" There was a sound of applause from above.
The noble man raised his head and saw a devilish sneer.
"It seems that Wei Haitang's legacy can finally be changed in the future."
The aristocratic man's face was extremely ugly. He hurriedly saluted Chen Xing and turned to leave.
People were pointing and talking behind him, saying words such as "he has no way to teach his children", "arrogant and domineering" and "deserves it". The aristocratic man lost his face and fled quickly, like a bereaved dog.
"Ahem!"
Chen Xing coughed twice, and the surrounding area immediately became quiet.
"I am a very simple person. If others do not embarrass me, I will not embarrass others..."
Pairs of eyes looked over, listening carefully to every word he said.
"So to most of the people here, I was friendly and approachable."
"But for a small group of recalcitrants, those rebels who oppose my lord, the fifth princess of the Malan royal family, Her Royal Highness Aaliyah, I will be a nightmare that they cannot wake up from!"
After a long silence, warm applause broke out, led by some close nobles.
After finishing his speech, Chen Xing returned to the Silver Castle Hall and summoned his senior generals to discuss the next steps.
Attending the meeting were deputy generals of the PLA
Xiang Caidi, commander-in-chief and commander of the Chinese Army Corps, Lin Shiyuan, chief of staff, Huo Zui and Rat, commanders of the first and second elite regiments of the Guards, Da Mao, commander of the reconnaissance brigade, Ye Yangzhengxiong, commander of the gendarmerie brigade, Lai Lai, commander of the Right Army Corps Leonka, the commander of the left army, Baron Prader, the quartermaster Lu Shanhai, as well as the commanders of the logistics brigade and the reserve army.
"Sir, the Silver Claw surrender army has been placed on the horse racing slope outside the city, led by Li Zhi, the former Silver Claw national advisor."
"Boss, a funeral team has been established, and the farewell ceremony for the body will be held in five days."
"Supreme Commander-in-Chief, various inspection teams selected from the Gendarmerie Brigade have successfully entered seven urban institutions, namely the City Hall, City Defense Department, Security Department, Taxation Department, Judicial Department, Agriculture Department, and Industry Department."
"The temporary ruling power has been certified by the system, can issue temporary decrees, and assume corresponding obligations..."
After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Chen Xing raised the first topic of the day - how to deal with the direct and collateral members of the former Silver Claw family.
Maybe the topic was quite sensitive and no one took the initiative to speak up. Chen Xing glanced at Ye Yang Zhengxiong. The two made eye contact, and Ye Yang Zhengxiong immediately understood that his son-in-law wanted him to take the lead in speaking. He immediately cleared his throat and said, "According to the practice of noble wars, the direct blood relatives of the ruler of the defeated party are at the full discretion of the victorious party. They can be deprived of their human rights and right to life, exiled to the Black Death Continent or reduced to war slaves, and can be traded freely. , are not protected by the Human Convention of the Human Survival Committee, and those under the age of fourteen are sent to the Outer Continent Correctional Facility. Those who are not direct blood relatives retain their original identities and enjoy the right to inherit the territory."
"What's your suggestion?" Chen Xing asked.
Ye Yang Zhengxiong thought for a while and said, "According to the previous practice of the Black Feather Principality, the male direct blood relatives are exiled to the Black Death Continent, and the women are distributed to officers or sold directly abroad."
Chen Xing nodded, Ye Yang Zhengxiong sat down, then looked around and asked, "What do you think of Commander Ye Yang's proposal?"
He paused and asked, "Should we distribute it to the officers, or sell it directly?"
"Isn't this too cruel?" Huo Zui couldn't help but stand up, "We are teachers of justice, how can we do something so unethical as human trafficking?"
"This is not about buying and selling people, Captain Huozui." Ye Yang Zhengxiong stood up with his hands on the table, stared into Huozui's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with morality, it is a noble tradition passed down for thousands of years, King Cheng Defeat!"
"The Human Survival Committee has abolished slavery a long time ago! No, it was abolished before the catastrophe!" Rat stood up and supported.
"Absurd!" Baron Prader stood up and said, "All our actions are legal and approved by the Human Survival Committee, including the treatment of direct blood relatives of the defeated, as well as the contract of the palace maid, are all subject to The system protects it!”
"I support what Captain Huozui said." Lelionka stood up and expressed his stance. "We are dream chasers, here for our ideals. We cannot let the stereotypes of the world tarnish our noble dreams."
"Can dreams be eaten?" Lu Shanhai stood up and asked, Lelionka frowned and did not answer. The former continued, “If we can sell these people, we can
to get a lot of money. We are very short of money now. Brothers’ pensions, money for building cemeteries, purchasing mechas, replenishing fuel and ammunition, military rations and supplies are all money! "
After Lu Shanhai finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.
Chen Xing did not rush to express his position, but just watched quietly.
There are now three different factions in the expeditionary force. It is not obvious at ordinary times, but when there is a conflict of ideas, it will become obvious.
One faction is represented by Huozui, Rat, Lelionka and others. The mercenaries who come together for a common ideal can be called the "ideal faction".
The other faction is represented by Ye Yang Zhengxiong, Baron Prader, Lu Shanhai and others. They are either nobles or businessmen. They pursue maximizing interests and can be called the "realist faction".
The third faction is the "neutral faction" represented by Xiang Caidi, Da Mao and others, who don't have many principles or ideas.
After a long time, Huozui took a deep breath and said, "I know we are short of money, but we can think of other ways. If Tienuo is here..."
"Tie Nuo is not here." Chen Xing interrupted Huo Zui.
"No, I mean, if something like this happens to Tienuo..."
Chen Xing interrupted him again, "I'm not Tie Nuo."
Huozui was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He quickly bowed his head to Chen Xing and apologized, "Boss, I'm sorry, I was too emotional just now."
Chen Xing looked at Huozui, then raised his head, looked around, glanced across everyone's faces, and slowly said, "I hope that everyone sitting here, whether for ideals or interests, please remember Stay, this is a war..."
"A war that is both realistic and cruel!"
"Only by putting aside differences and seeking common ground while reserving differences can we achieve final victory."
"So, I beg you, no matter what decision I make today, please believe in me and support me!"
Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, he continued, "I don't think kindness to the enemy can bring us victory."
"I want all hostile countries to see what consequences they will face."
"So I decided that all the direct relatives of Wei Haitang, the men will be exiled to the Black Death Continent, and the women will be sold to New Edo in the central wilderness."
"All the funds obtained will be used for pensions, and this order will be implemented by Lu Shanhai!"
"Yes!" Lu Shanhai stood up and responded.
"Antique calligraphy and paintings, famous guns and luxury cars, yachts and aerostats are all being auctioned at the same time!"
"Collect the pension as soon as possible and distribute it to the family members!"
"yes!"
"That concludes today's meeting."
"You guys go back and think about it, how did we get to where we are today?"
"Where should we go in the future..."
