People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 452 You killed the leader! I’m so sad! Hahahaha… I’m so sad!!

In fact, Zhu Di had always wanted to get rid of these leaders and had always wanted to find a reason.

But it’s hard to find this reason.

Especially now that they have just surrendered, if we kill these leaders directly, the people below will not be convinced.

Not to mention that the surrendered Mongols were dissatisfied, even the Ming army might think this was too despicable.

Although there is no such thing as killing prisoners being inauspicious, since those individuals surrendered voluntarily and since they have been accepted, they should not be treated differently.

Then they should be properly resettled, otherwise no one will be willing to surrender in the future.

When the time comes, everyone will still have to fight hard battles, and it will be the soldiers who will suffer.

So Zhu Di was in a dilemma.

But what was unexpected was that the leaders couldn't help themselves that night.

They have long been very dissatisfied with Monk and Tuhaj.

Especially after learning from Jihatu, it turned out that all this was just a conspiracy between this father and son.

Their goal is to let their people rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder, so that they can get all the benefits in the end.

What are the benefits?

Since their own people were serving as cannon fodder in the front, the father and son could say to the Ming Dynasty: We still have the strength to fight. If we continue to fight, you, the Ming Dynasty, will also suffer a lot. Can you surrender?

Everyone will benefit after we recruit them.

We don't need to be destroyed, and you don't need to waste so much energy trying to destroy us.

There are benefits for everyone.

But all the benefits went to Monk and his son.

What about me and the others? What did I get?
All you get is the fate of cannon fodder?
What you get is a deception.

Thinking of this, the four leaders couldn't help themselves.

So that night they broke into the tents of Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, and stabbed them to death.

In fact, even if there were only four people with bare hands, they would probably be able to bite and beat Monk and Tuhaji to death.

But it's more satisfying to carry a dagger.

When Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng came to the tent of Monk and Tuhaji, they were actually quite shocked when they saw the scene before them.

Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, were stabbed like a torn sack, covered in blood, their eyes were still open, their bodies were pale, and the unwillingness was written all over their faces.

That expression, that despair, was definitely not acted.

This shows how unwilling they were to die.

Of course.

Of course they were unwilling to accept this.

Although the ultimate goal has not been achieved yet - to become the only dominant power and be recruited, and then enjoy the best rights.

They even thought that in order to appease himself, they might even confer the title of Duke or King on himself.

But what was unexpected was that he now surrendered along with most of the leaders.

Such a result would certainly greatly reduce the value of his title.

So he was actually very unwilling.

But what I didn't expect was that something even more unacceptable happened.

The remaining four leaders rushed directly into his tent and killed both of them.

Now they don't have to feel unwilling to accept the consequences anymore.

Zhu Di saw the two corpses on the ground and then looked at the four leaders who had been controlled.

The four leaders also calmed down at this time.

In fact, they have only now finally figured out one thing.

That means they are no longer on their grassland.

Now the Ming army has the final say.

As prisoners of the Ming army, how could you fight among yourself and kill each other?
Maybe the Ming army could use these captives, but you killed them for no reason. Do you really think you are the leaders?
At this time, Zhu Di wanted to show off his status as the commander of the Ming army, and he said loudly and against his will: "You are so bold, who do you think you are?

You are prisoners. You surrendered to our Ming army. You should be under our Ming army's custody and should abide by our Ming army's military discipline and law. You killed people without authorization. Do you know that you have seriously violated our Ming army's military law? "

The four leaders turned pale when they heard this.

Especially when he heard Zhu Di's extremely angry tone at this moment, he even wanted to kneel down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, we killed our internal enemies. You don't know how hateful these two are. We will never live in peace if we don't kill them."

This is what happened, but how could Zhu Di understand it?
Or he simply won't understand.

Because he just wanted to use this incident to get rid of them.

Zhu Di said loudly and righteously, "No matter what hatred you have, no matter what grievances you have, it is my Ming Dynasty that has the final say here, not you.

You are not allowed to kill people casually here. If I allow you to kill people casually, how can I lead the team in the future?"

So he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!"

The officers and soldiers outside immediately came forward and took them all away.

Next, Zhu Di immediately summoned the captains of thousands and tens of thousands of men from other tribes, asked them to gather together and seriously discuss the matter.

These tribal leaders who killed thousands of men were somewhat unwilling to accept the result.

But when he heard that the four leaders had sneaked into the tents of Monk and Tuhaji in the middle of the night and killed them, he felt very guilty.

Even if you have a grudge or a grievance, you can just take revenge on the spot. How can you launch a sneak attack?
Moreover, the attack was launched inside the enemy's prisoner camp.

Doing so is really disrespectful to the Ming army, so it is understandable that the Ming army wants to punish them now.

So they all lowered their heads, probably not daring to speak at all.

Or there is nothing to say at all.

After seeing their statements, Zhu Di immediately said: "Tomorrow we will call all the prisoners to hold a meeting to let everyone know how hateful these people are now.

They have violated the military law of our Ming Dynasty. If our Ming Dynasty military law does not stop them, our Ming Dynasty will have no way to survive in the future.

You all saw it, it's not that we didn't give them a chance, it's really their own fault."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he left immediately without giving them any chance to discuss.

The remaining captains of thousands and tens of thousands of men looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that the matter would turn out like this.

They never imagined that their leader could be so petty.

Even though they had already surrendered, they still ran into other people's tents to seek revenge.

This is really hard to understand. No wonder His Royal Highness is so angry. I would be angry too if I were in his shoes.

Early the next morning, Zhu Di tied up the four leaders and put them at the front of the parade ground.

Below are the captured Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongolian cavalry had been sleeping all night last night and no one knew what had happened.

But some screams were also heard.

At first they thought it was just the noise made by people playing with each other.

But no one expected that today the four leaders would be tied up and tied to the textbooks.

Zhu Di stood on a three-meter-high platform at the front of the parade ground and said loudly to the prisoners below: "Look at these four people.

I know many of you know them.

They are the leaders of your tribe. They are high above you and beyond your reach.

Because you always think they are fair and strict.

I have always thought that they are great people, but now I want to tell you that these people have done something extremely disgusting."

Those Mongolian warriors in the parade ground are actually quite simple men.

As soon as I heard about this, I immediately became interested.

"So what happened?"

"Why did the Ming army's attitude change so drastically in the blink of an eye?"

"We have put our leaders on display. If the Ming army doesn't give us a good explanation, we will even mutiny. We can't bear such humiliation anyway."

Zhu Di certainly knew what the soldiers on the parade ground were thinking.

So he said it on the spot, "Now that you are captives, I should have listened to all the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately I didn't expect that last night when Monk and Tuhaji were resting.

These four men broke into the tents of Monk and Tuhaji with daggers in hand and brutally killed them.

As he said this, he waved his hand and someone naturally carried the bodies of the father and son over.

"Let's see!!"

Even though it was covered with white cloth, the blood still seeped out. Everyone knew how horrible it was.

When the white cloth was removed, everyone saw the father and son's bodies which looked like rags.

This angered the people of the Khorchin tribe, and they shouted loudly, "You bastards, how dare you kill our leader? He is the great leader, and you dare to kill him. You have no law."

"Your Majesty must make the decision for us."

"Yes, you must decide for us."

"The murderers must be severely punished. These people cannot be allowed to stay."

"Now they dare to kill people in the prisoner camp. Even if they go to Ming Dynasty, they will still be lawless."

"If you don't punish them, they will become a nuisance sooner or later if they stay."

"You bastards, how dare you kill the leader, the great leader. He is the great leader of all tribes in our Horqin grassland tribe. How dare you kill him? You must have had evil ambitions for a long time."

Everyone in the Khorchin tribe looked at the four tied-up leaders at this time, and they were filled with anger.

They never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

This is a great act of treason. Even on the grassland, this crime is enough to be skinned alive and offered to the Eternal Heaven.

When the four tribes saw their leaders kneeling there, they were angry at first.

But when he heard what Zhu Di said, he immediately lowered his head.

This is really going too far and is really embarrassing.

If you really have the ability, go to the battlefield and fight with real swords and guns.

How is it possible to sneak attack someone while they are sleeping?

He even brought a dagger with him and stabbed the man to death. This is simply a cowardly act.

A true warrior should face both father and son head-on and kill them both.

Instead of being like it is now, it really makes everyone feel embarrassed.

At this time, someone else said, "Your Highness, although they killed our leader, they are not guilty of death. At least they are still our leaders. Can you spare their lives for the sake of our surrender? Even if you let them return to the grassland to graze, it is better than killing them."

The people of the Khorchin tribe immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? If our leader was killed, isn't that a big deal?"

"That's the great chief. Do you still have a little bit of the great chief in your heart?"

"If it weren't for the great leader who surrendered with us, you wouldn't be able to stand here at all. You might have died with people like Lajiji."

"You are still saying such sarcastic words now. Even the leader dares to kill you. What can't you do in the future?"

"I think your highness did the right thing. He should tie them up and kill them in front of everyone. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the chief?"

Zhu Di heard the discussion below and shouted from the high platform, "Brothers, we have accepted your surrender and actually regard you as brothers.

Even if there is any hatred among you, we believe that it can be resolved through reconciliation.

We even hope to treat you with a better environment so that you can eliminate your hatred for each other and win the battle.

However, no one expected that these four people were so narrow-minded that they were unwilling to let Monk and Tuhaji go even after they surrendered.

I think you must have a doubt in your heart. If you let such a person lead you, do you think you will still have a good life?

The military laws of our Ming Dynasty are extremely strict and will never excuse anyone.

Even if they are surrendered leaders, even if they may be of great use in the future, they must be punished if they have violated our military laws.

Now that you have joined the army of my Ming Dynasty, you are a member of our Ming Dynasty, a member of our army, and you should abide by our military laws.

Now I will enforce military law with my authority as commander-in-chief. If you are not convinced, you can stand up.

Even if you want to rebel, you can do so.”

When Zhu Di said this, the people of the Khorchin tribe immediately erupted, "Kill! Kill them! We must kill them! Avenge our leader!"

"Yes, kill them. Such cowardly behavior is despised by us even on the grassland."

Even the warriors of their own tribe felt ashamed at this time.

So someone stood up angrily and said, "Yes, kill them. People like them are shameful. Even if they are our leaders who do such things, we feel ashamed."

"If there is any real grudge, report it to His Royal Highness the Great Ming Prince and then have a real fight with real swords and guns. Then you will be considered as men.

You actually went to assassinate secretly, are you still a human being?"

"It would be even more embarrassing for us to follow people like you."

"Kill them, kill them. We are willing to elect a new leader!"

In such a situation of public outrage, even if someone wanted to plead for mercy, once they heard this and saw this atmosphere, they could only remain silent. It was really hard to argue about this matter...
