The informant's denial relieved the Jin Dynasty courtiers who had proposed having relations with Japan.
But apparently, they relaxed too soon.
Because the informant went on to say: "According to the knife wounds detected on the corpse, many of them are made of wolf bones, which can be clearly extracted from the wounds. Due to different wounds, nearly half of them have extracted this substance, so , we believe that at least half of the murderers of the village massacre are Beidi people."
The informant was not a local official, but the head of the government office responsible for investigating the case.
What he said did not take any position, it was just stating a fact.
Are most of the murderers of the village massacre from Beidi?
Who doesn’t know that after Beidi people came to Daxing, they often gathered in groups to do things together.
Thinking about it this way, the murderer of the village massacre can only be a Beidi person!
The Beidi people went to the inland sea to cause trouble. What did they want?
The faces of the courtiers sent by the King of Jin to attend the meeting were now blue and white, white and black.
Since the death of Beidi's imperial master, Beidi's envoy has been replaced by Descartes, and he has given them treasures in private, asking them to give them advice after the competition, and if Beidi loses, let Daxing show his great power. His demeanor allowed the countries in the Western Regions not to care about him, and he was able to release a warm grassland and water area for the people of Beidi to spend the winter.
Beidi can even exchange for double the land. When Daxing tides over the difficulties for them, they will definitely be grateful for Daxing's kindness and become friends forever.
fart!
It's all fart!
He talked to them about eternal friendship, but turned around and massacred an entire fishing village in North Hebei Province.
That is the place with abundant military force in North Hebei Province!
When Ning Feng went to Jibei Road to recruit troops, they thought it would be difficult. They were waiting for the Ning family to be in danger so that they could ask the King of Jin to help them, in order to coerce and win over the Ning family.
As a result, once the village massacre case came out, and with the instigation of the righteous people who followed the Ning Mansion, not to mention 50,000 soldiers, but 100,000 soldiers could be recruited.
"Why are you silent? Is it because you don't feel anything about the dead villagers and the dead Daxing people?"
boom!
Zhou Gan slapped the armrest.
The gold paint on the chair armrests was so shaken that it cracked into moire patterns.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Can I calm down my anger and bring the massacred villagers back to life?"
Zhou Qian knew about Beidi's ambitions, but he didn't expect that Beidi people would commit such a heinous crime at this juncture.
"Pass my decree to allocate five million taels of silver to Ning Feng, quickly recruit 50,000 troops, and go north immediately!"
These five million silver taels are the only silver taels left in Zhou Qian's private treasury so far.
He originally wanted to buy a war horse.
Now we can only use it to recruit troops first.
Without soldiers, war horses are useless.
But without the people, no matter how much territory is guarded, it will only be a wasteland.
"I have decreed that all Beidi people in Daxing should immediately cooperate with the officials at all levels to register and confirm their whereabouts every three days. The murderer of the village massacre must be arrested and brought to justice!"
Zhou Qian knew that the possibility of catching the murderer was extremely slim.
but.
He can no longer allow his people to be invaded by foreigners within his jurisdiction!
"There are also all the prefectures and county offices in Jiangnan Province. They will do their best to allocate some silver coins immediately to provide training for old soldiers and ordinary people in their prime to prevent disasters at sea."
"Merchants going overseas can apply to the local government for military protection at their own expense."
The first item undoubtedly puts considerable expenditure pressure on local governments.
But the second article shifted this pressure to the merchants, and the courtiers below did not dare to speak out against it.
Anyway, merchants will only pay this money if it is profitable.
The main thing to prevent from maritime troubles is Japanese pirates.
Once you encounter Japanese pirates while sailing at sea, your life will be at risk if your feathers are plucked.
If there are government manpower and ship power to protect them, although some profits will be lost, at least lives can be protected in this turbulent moment.
Zhou Qian issued several orders in succession.
Seeing that the courtiers did not object, especially those from the Zhuhe faction, they shut their mouths, but there was no sense of accomplishment in their hearts.
Should have known so.
He shouldn't care about the demeanor of a great country and engage in this competition!
Not only did Hua Yi lose his life and Ning Wuyan was seriously injured, but this village massacre also occurred.
"Come here, send heavy troops to guard the Xiyi Pavilion to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to harm the envoys from various countries. The competition will proceed as normal tomorrow. I want to see what the Beidi envoy thinks of this matter!"
…
Inside the Xiyi Pavilion.
When Descarnato learned about the village massacre, he was shocked.
He ordered Taro Kishizumi to make up his mind to leave Daxing, and persuaded the Emperor of Japan to lead troops to attack Daxing.
But he didn't expect that his subordinates' way of doing things was so extreme, and they didn't deal with the aftermath properly, so that Daxing Wu Zuo found out the evidence.
Now, the mistake that was originally made by Taro Kishizumi can only be borne by the people of Beidi.
boom!
Descartes knocked down the table in front of him with a slap, and was furious.
"I wasted so much effort to cultivate a Japanese chess piece. Now the chess piece has come in handy, but it has also implicated Beidi. Emperor Daxing recruited troops to defend against our Beidi, and I still want the Japanese to take action first. , Daxing was caught off guard. Just when the recruitment was completed, the new soldiers went south, and the Daxing Emperor's defense focus moved south, he joined forces with the Japanese to form a front for mutual assistance between the north and the south. "
"Now Emperor Daxing will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to send more troops to the north. He may also be prepared for turmoil at sea, these stupid people!"
Massacre the village.
It is no stranger to Beidi soldiers who often harass the border.
Descartes used those wolf soldiers because he wanted them to lead Japanese soldiers in battle and enhance the strength of Japan.
Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot.
These wolf soldiers are wild wolves on the battlefield, and they become stronger when they are strong.
In the stable territory of Daxing, the methods of doing things were still as cruel as wild wolves on the grassland, which led to such disasters.
"I should have warned them not to go too far when they brutally destroyed Taro Kishisaki's face."
At this point, Descartes could only sigh helplessly.
But Amao felt his whole body trembling after hearing this.
Nothing else.
It was he who suggested the disfigurement.
Although Taro Kishizumi could hide his face or disguise himself, he could evade interrogation at various levels in Daxing, but there was no way his face would be disfigured once and for all.
If it hadn't been for the evidence left behind in the massacre, Amao wouldn't have felt that his subordinates had done anything wrong.
The only reason to blame was that Taro Kishisaki had lived in that fishing village for too long and had feelings for the fisher girl in the village and didn't want to leave.
Since Taro Kishizaki's identity may be discovered by the villagers of the local fishing village.
Isn't it normal to kill people and silence them before leaving?
What Beidi does is to occupy the territory of Daxing and seize the most fertile soil.
If the original local people don't agree to give it to them, won't they still have to be massacred in the end?
Amao couldn't think of any difference, and he didn't think about it.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Amao felt that this was the most important thing to know right now.
Because the clanging sound of the heavy armored soldiers of the Beijing Guards coming was heard outside.
Emperor Daxing made it clear that he wanted to go to war with Beidi.
Whether to stay or go must be decided immediately.
