Zhu Zhan Xin's interest was piqued when he heard this. He waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion standing guard in front of him immediately retreated.
"Esteemed Great Ming's envoy, Wala's subordinate Zieger has come late to receive you.”
Zieger said hurriedly. Then, his eyes glanced at Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji.
He was stunned at first, then lowered his head again.
"Big brother, this guy actually knows how to speak?”
Zhu Zhan was a little surprised that he had been talking about the people of Wala.
"Fifth Younger Brother, my Great Ming has already intimidated the four seas for a long time. Not to mention this Wala, there are few tribes in the north of the desert that do not know of my Great Ming's prestige!”
Zhu Zhanji explained, his tone full of pride.
After Zhu Zhan Xin heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes in his heart. If Da Ming was really that awesome, then how did these people dare to harass Da Ming time and time again?
On the other side, Zhu Zhanji rode his horse to Zieg.
"We are not Great Ming's messengers.”
"Since he is a citizen of the Celestial Empire, he is an envoy.”
Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He felt really comfortable with the sound of 'Heavenly Emperor'.
In history, only the Great Tang could be called the Heavenly Dynasty.
The other party's praise meant that Great Ming was like the Great Tang of the past.
"Alright, big brother, what are you doing?”
Zhu Zhanji couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, Zhu Zhanji would be fooled silly by him.
Didn't he know what was going on in his heart?
If you don't have the ability, don't even think about it.
When Zhu Zhanji heard his words, he was also a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain his purpose of coming, Zhu Zhanji spoke.
"Stop wasting time. Go and capture all the living people. Kill all those who resist.”
"No, Fifth Brother."
Before Zhu Zhanji could finish speaking, the soldiers had already rushed down.
Sieg's face turned pale as he hurriedly said.
"I wonder how we offended you and why you attacked us.”
"Your Wala has gone south several times. Is this reason enough?”
Zhu Zhanji also realized that he was here to fight and destroy Wala, not to visit.
After saying that, he called out to the soldiers beside him.
"Bring him along."
After he finished speaking, he walked to Zhu Zhanxin's side.
"Let's go and see how many people are here.”
Then, the two of them rode down.
By the time they arrived, the soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion had already pulled out the people from the tribe and surrounded them.
The old, weak, women, and children huddled together, their eyes filled with fear that could not be hidden.
"Your Highness, a total of 231 people.”
Batum walked in front of Zhu Zhan Xin and said. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Zhan Xin.
"It's all women and children. Big Brother, it seems that we've found the right person.”
There were only women and children left in the tribe, which meant that their men must have followed the Wala army.
As for why he didn't go hunting…
When have you ever seen an entire tribe of men go out hunting?
It was obvious that he had been dragged to war.
"Fifth brother, how should we deal with these people?”
Zhu Zhanji asked as he looked at the old, weak, women, and children.
"How should we deal with it? Of course, he had to kill them all. Otherwise, would he still be able to feed them?”
Zhu Zhanxin pursed his lips. Wasn't he here to do this?
"Kill what?"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned. He saw that there were still children who had not been weaned inside. Did he just kill them all?
"Hmm?"
"I say, big brother, what are you thinking? You actually pity them. Have you forgotten the tragedy recorded in the history books?”
Zhu Zhan Xin sneered.
Zhu Zhanji immediately stopped talking.
How could they forget that this was a humiliation that was carved into the bones of every Han?
In history, how many times had the nomadic tribes harmed the Han people?
During the chaos of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han people were treated like two-legged sheep and almost killed!
If it wasn't for the fact that the Heavenly King of Wu Dao, Ran Minzhen, led the Han people to fight back and issued the order to kill the Hu people, the Han people would have been exterminated.
And the shame of the Northern Song Dynasty, how many people did they kill?
This was only in history. Based on the current records of Great Ming, they had repeatedly violated Great Ming.
If he left these people behind now, perhaps in the future, they would grow up to be thieves who violated Da Ming.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji looked at those people. In addition to fear in the eyes of many children, there was also a lingering hatred.
Zhu Zhanji understood that this was the feud between the two sides, the hatred in their bones, and there was no room for reconciliation.
What if they were allowed to harm their descendants today?
At this moment, he made up his mind that he would never become a sinner of Da Ming, even if his hands were stained with blood.
"High Ambassador!"
Just as Zhu Zhanji made up his mind, Zieger ran over in a panic.
"High Ambassador, these children are innocent. They are not even as tall as a horse and do not even know how to use arrows.”
"If you want to kill me, kill me. Don't drag the child down with you.”
He knelt on the ground and begged them.
"This is the rule of the grasslands. If two tribes start a war and one side loses, all the men in that tribe will be killed.”
"However, only the children who can't reach the height of a horse can survive. They are doing this to ensure the survival of the tribe.”
Zhu Zhanji explained.
Zieger's meaning was obvious. If you want to kill him, kill him and leave those children who were no taller than a horse.
As for the women, they didn't count. He didn't care if they were killed or taken away. In the eyes of the grassland people, only children were the future of the tribe.
"Humph, we are not from the grasslands. According to their rules, why don't they follow my Great Ming's rules?”
"If they were law-abiding, they wouldn't be like this.”
Zhu Zhan Xin sneered. Then, he looked at the people from the tribes and coldly spat out a word.
"Kill them!"
Zieg instantly collapsed to the ground. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
However, after Zhu Zhan gave the order, those soldiers did not immediately take action.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation. They were also men from the grasslands, so they naturally knew this rule.
Moreover, they were warriors. If they were sent to battle, there would be no problem at all. Even if they died in battle, they would not regret it.
However, if they were to lay their hands on these old, weak, women, and children, wouldn't they become butchers and executioners?
At this time, Batum gritted his teeth and went forward to kneel down on one knee in front of Zhu Zhan Xin.
"Your Highness, please let these children go. We are willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness!”
