Tudan Hexi's adult sons all joined the army in other places and started their own businesses.
Now that the country has been lost, his sons' lives and deaths are unknown. Although he is heartbroken, he also feels that there is a high probability that his sons died in the war.
His adult daughter was also married and living in Kanto. When the Liberation Army was sweeping the world, he felt that his daughters would also inevitably die.
That was something he could no longer take care of.
Currently, there are only three underage sons and five underage daughters with him.
They looked at their father covered in blood in horror.
"Don't blame me, I can't let you be humiliated. If the Liberation Army captures you, you will suffer inhuman pain. Compared with this, it is better to die under the knife of your father. At least your father will not make you feel pain. "
He approached step by step, and his sons and daughters retreated step by step, constantly begging for mercy, hoping that their father could spare them and let them live so that they could make a living.
They don't want to die.
The oldest son, who was thirteen years old, cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Tu Dan Hexi, and begged his father to let him live.
Tu Dan Hexi was startled, and then suddenly became furious.
"When the country is in ruins, you actually kneel down and beg for mercy? Do you want to live as a slave of the country? As a father, I would rather die than surrender, and you are my son. How can I allow you to kneel down and surrender?"
Tu Dan Hexi was so angry that he rushed forward with his hair and beard spread out. He raised his knife and killed his son neatly.
Then he didn't stop, swung his knife forward, and killed the remaining six children in succession. Each one was killed with one knife, without any unnecessary movements, striving to free the children quickly and without pain.
In this regard, Tu Dan Hexi, a murderer with decades of experience, is very professional. He can make the victim die neatly with just one knife. With a little care, he can make the victim feel no pain until death. .
This was also his last tenderness to his family.
In the end, all that was left in the family was his youngest daughter, who had just turned five.
He only got this daughter when he was in his sixtieth year. He loved her very much and treated her like the apple of his eye. He treated her with the utmost care, holding her in his hand for fear of breaking and holding her in his mouth for fear of melting.
But now, he wanted to kill his most beloved daughter with his own hands.
Tu Dan Hexi suddenly felt that fate was playing tricks on people.
Why is this so?
He doesn't understand.
The younger daughter was so frightened by him that she shivered and remained motionless, just standing and watching Tu Dan Hexi kill all her brothers and sisters.
Tu Dan Hexi came forward with a knife to kill her. He raised the knife and looked at his little daughter's dull eyes, but he couldn't kill her no matter what.
Finally, he threw away the knife, knelt on the ground, held his little daughter in his arms, and broke down crying.
However, as the shouts of killing from the Liberation Army got closer and closer, Tu Dan Hexi remembered what happened to the young imperial concubines of the Zhao and Song royal families when they went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and he still made a decision.
We must not let her fall into the hands of the Liberation Army and become a plaything of thieves!
So he picked up the knife on the ground again, held his little daughter in his arms, clenched the handle of the knife with his trembling hands, pointed the tip of the knife at the back of the little daughter's heart, and stabbed hard in despair.
The sharp tip of the knife penetrated the bodies of two people.
Tudan Hexi held his little daughter in his arms and died together.
When Zhou Zhi led his troops to Tu Dan Hexi's mansion with red eyes, he saw such a scene with his own eyes.
Seeing the dead women in fine clothes and young children lying all over the place, as well as Tu Dan Hexi and his little daughter dying together, the boiling blood in Zhou Zhi's body cooled down.
He shook his head and sighed, thinking of the beggars he saw along the way throwing away their weapons and kneeling on the ground.
"Collect their corpses. Although he is an enemy, those who die generously are more worthy of respect than those who live by themselves."
Zhou Zhi ordered that the bodies of Tudan Hexi's family be collected and buried together.
The Battle of Chang'an ended in this way. The highest military and political leader of the Jin Army in the Guanzhong area died in Chang'an City, which declared the end of the resistance of the Jin Army under unified command in the Guanzhong area.
This end is not a trivial matter. Although there are still tens of thousands of Jin troops in the Guanzhong area, they have not been under unified command since then. Each department can only fight independently and fight against the unified command of the Liberation Army, which is at a huge disadvantage.
The possibility of being defeated by each one is really very high.
But who can change this situation?
They can't change.
After capturing Chang'an City, in order to restore public security and order in Chang'an City as soon as possible, Zhang Yuejing ordered the siege troops to quickly withdraw from the city and station outside the city. They were not allowed to enter the city without orders.
Then he ordered his own soldiers to be stationed in the city to temporarily act as security forces to maintain public order in order to restore order in the city as soon as possible.
Then he announced the policy of the Liberation Army in the city, posted a notice to calm the people, announcing that Chang'an City would return to normal from now on, and all residents in the city should report their news to the government in Chang'an City, register their household registration, and accept the rule of the Liberation Army.
As long as you register your household registration, you can get protection and necessary living supplies from the Liberation Army.
The Liberation Army will not kill, loot, or harass, and they may not even enter the city. The people of Chang'an can rest assured.
The policy was stipulated in this way, and the propaganda said this. The people of Chang'an were hungry and had no other choice. They responded to the call of the Liberation Army in twos and threes and fought for a way to survive.
But when it comes to execution, the current situation in Chang'an City is not simple at all.
According to the reports of captured officials, Zhang Yuejing learned that Tu Dan Hexi had launched a massacre in Chang'an City before, killing many dignitaries and wealthy households in the city from the beginning.
Then Tu Dan Hexi, under the banner of collecting supplies to fight against the Liberation Army, allowed the army to harm the residents of the city. No one was spared, from wealthy households to ordinary households.
Private property was looted, and many people were killed trying to protect their property and family members. The situation was miserable.
Military discipline and morals were corrupt, and many female relatives of the city residents were plundered and taken to the army as slaves, where they were subjected to inhuman torture.
In just over a month, more than 30,000 residents died in Chang'an City, and there was no time to even burn them or dig pits to bury them.
Based on the Liberation Army's investigation of the current situation in Chang'an City, Zhang Yuejing learned that most of the city residents who had been signed to serve in the army were skinny and skinny, and had obviously been severely tortured.
Not only that, there were thousands of women in the military camp in Chang'an City. They were all in ragged clothes and in extremely poor physical condition. Many of them were tortured to death, and their bodies were not even complete.
Most of the soldiers who defended the city were in good condition, with rosy complexions. It was obvious that there was no shortage of food and drink, and there was no fear of hunger.
This situation made Zhang Yuejing very angry. He ordered the personnel of the Military Justice Department of the army to investigate the evil deeds of the captured defenders and prepare to select some of the most heinous ones for public trial and execution first.
These heinous bastards don't even deserve to be coolies, they don't deserve to live.
When Zhou Zhi learned about this, his face darkened. He personally led people to dig out the body of Tu Dan Hexi who had just been buried. After treating it with lime, he hung his body directly at the gate of Chang'an City for public display. It was said that it would only be put down after seven days.
After he lays him down, he will not bury him, but will set his body on fire, crush his bones and spread the ashes. This will be done publicly to comfort the souls of the unjust dead in the city and appease the hearts of the people in the city.
Tu Dan Hexi left a mess and left the huge Chang'an City and huge trouble to Zhang Yuejing. Zhang Yuejing was forced to take on the responsibility of restoring the vitality of Chang'an City.
On the one hand, he counted the number of surviving people in the city and tried his best to reunite the families who were forced to separate. Then he distributed the food seized in the city as relief food to the residents in the city.
Then he sent people out to attack the rural areas and restore the supply of materials to Chang'an City in the rural areas as soon as possible.
After such operations, Zhang Yuejing was able to stabilize the situation in Chang'an City and prevent a larger-scale humanitarian disaster from happening in Chang'an City.
Capturing a city only requires pure military means, but occupying a city requires more efforts. Especially the purpose of the Liberation Army is not to hit and leave, but to occupy and govern. Even Chang'an, as an important town in Guanzhong, will be in the future. The Guanzhong region also has great significance.
So Zhang Yuejing could only move forward temporarily, ordering his troops to sweep the area around Jingzhao Mansion and occupy all of Jingzhao Mansion. During this period, Zhang Yuejing would stay in Chang'an City and be fully responsible for all public security around Chang'an City.
