Four hundred people.

Give it as you say it.

No wonder the cabinet came to report the message in person.

Even Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War, was anxious.

In fact, he has good intentions.

If Zhang Jingyi let all these prisoners go, there will be no one to pursue them later. Do you really think that those censors who are pestering each other are easy to provoke?

As long as you grasp this mistake, no matter how great you make, they can make countless attacks!

At that time, this stain may be settled sooner or later.

There have been many people like Cui Chengxiu who have made great contributions in the 250th year of the Ming Dynasty, but if you are not careful, you will be killed and killed.

Because... you always have stains, you can always be caught, and this stain is constantly expanding until people all over the world start to spread such rumors. Then, if you, Zhang Jingyi, jump into the Yellow River, can't clean it.

So Choi Chengxiu came to report quickly, because His Majesty had hope to issue an order to stop the envoy.

As long as the prisoners are stopped and brought back, the Ming Zhengdian punishment will be passed on, then this matter will be over.

Emperor Tianqi seemed very surprised at this time. He didn't think that Zhang Jingyi was such a kind person. He handed over these Jiannu prisoners to Zhang Jingyi, which also proved his trust in Zhang Jingyi.

But... Zhang Jing did this and was quite unfair.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but remember that his money had disappeared, so he couldn't help but scold: "I won't forgive him."

He said this, but he still hoped that Zhang Jingyi could give a reasonable explanation.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jing entered the palace to meet him.

He saluted Emperor Tianqi and then said, "Your Majesty... looks a little haggard. I wonder who angered Your Majesty?"

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but curse. I thought of those stocks, and I hadn't slept all night, and I was worried all night about the Liao Sheng business. I was so embarrassed to say such things now.

At this moment, the new and old accounts were all in front of me. Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "I heard that you have let the prisoners go?"

"Yes." Zhang Jingyi answered very seriously.

Suddenly, Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, and both showed a look of worry.

Cui Chengxiu was anxious: "It's a good thing, why did you release people? These are four hundred Jiannu people! Once the tiger is released and the mountain will cause endless harm. What's more, let's take the Jiannu envoy back to Liaodong... Isn't Zhang Qianhu worried that someone would sue Zhang Qianhu for an affair with Jiannu?"

Zhang Jingyi said directly: "If I affair with Jiannu, then who else in the world doesn't affair with Jiannu?"

This is quite confident. You can doubt others, but it would be a joke to doubt me, Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi then looked at Emperor Tianqi and said with a solemn expression: "Yes, I did this, but I did this because I... realized the profound meaning of Your Majesty and the Jiannu people, so I dared to do so."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say with a suspicion: "What is my deep meaning?"

Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "From the moment when Your Majesty killed Amin in front of the envoy, I knew that Your Majesty and Jiannu were irreconcilable and there was no possibility of peace. Since there was no harmony, then fight to the death."

Zhang Jing paused and said, "The so-called death battle is to use all means to win! No matter how much you pay, try any method or means, as long as you can increase your chances of winning, you must use it all, and you will never leave any backup plan."

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions became even more confused.

Zhang Jingyi continued directly: "These prisoners were let go, but the news may not be found out clearly on the Ministry of War. I divided the more than 400 prisoners into three types, one of which is the military officers of the Han people on Jiannu. These people... are naturally going to die. I have ordered people to behead all four Han military officers. Their heads are still hanging outside the Qianhu Station in Xincheng!"

"I kill them to tell everyone that anyone who is accomplices of the tiger will surely die and will never be able to be able to be able to do so! This is true for these military officers, and so is Li Yongfang. If someone is for glory and wealth, then... sooner or later, I will definitely settle the matter to the end."

Emperor Apocalypse nodded: "Where is the second type?"

"The second type is the ordinary soldiers. These soldiers are all Liao people. What can they do? Their family and parents live in Liaodong for generations. They do not understand the principles of family, country and world. They only know that they are in the army to eat food and support their families. They are just enslaved by the Jiannu and the military officers of the Han people. If we even kill these people, then... those Han soldiers who depend on Jiannu, dare not do their best to follow Jiannu? After all, if the Ming Dynasty wins, they will die sooner or later. Is it that good that they will release them back intact. Not only that, each person also distributed three taels of silver as compensation for their future return to Liaodong. In this way, they will definitely think that if the Ming Dynasty wins in the future, the Ming army will not make things difficult for them, and may even give them preferential treatment. Will they still do their best when they really come to the battlefield?"

"What's more, when so many people go back, their experiences in the capital will naturally spread to ten or ten. Everyone knows that I, the Ming Dynasty, thinks that the same clan and clan, will not kill them. These ordinary Han soldiers will inevitably be shaken."

"Being a military officer is death, but if you only follow the Jiannu people to serve as a soldier and eat food, it can consume the Jiannu people's food. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Jiannu people, it has nothing to do with them. Anyone who cares about the Ming Dynasty who was once their parents' country would not fight to the death. But once the army of the Han soldiers was shaken, the Jiannu people would inevitably be suspicious of these. The conflict between Jiannu and the Han people in Liao and Liao existed. Once this contradiction expands, it will only benefit but not harm for our Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Aoki was so stunning at this time.

He felt more and more that Zhang Jingyi was a very thoughtful person, so he said, "And what, what should those Jiannu people do? Why did they even let them go?"

Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "Of course these people should be let go! I have said that there is no room for change between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu. For victory, any means must be done. This third kind of person is these Jiannu people! I... tell you the truth, and I... before I released, I had blinded all the eyes of these nearly 200 Jiannu people."

Emperor Aoki immediately took a breath.

However, Huang Liji, Sun Chengzong and Cui Chengxiu were also immersed in the ears at this time.

Only Emperor Apocalypse could not help but say, "Why... is this?"

"Consuming them." Zhang Jingyi said in a cold tone: "If they blind their eyes, they will never be able to ride horses or shoot arrows! When they returned to Liaodong, what will the Jiannu people treat them? If they think they have become waste and abandon them directly, after all, these people are of the same clan as them, how can they give up their own people of the same clan? Deliberately neglect them? But neglecting them will definitely make people feel cold! These Jiannu people risked their lives and dared not say that they have made any great contributions, but they also worked hard. But as the leader, they actually abandoned them, so how could the Jiannu people not feel sad?"

"So, I have expected that the chiefs of Jiannu will not only not kill or give up them, but will even give them special kindness. These blind Jiannu people have become wasteful people. They cannot even take care of themselves, so they can only be carefully cared for for the rest of their lives. How many people need to serve a blind man and live a good life? Let's do this. Their food needs at least the surplus grain and livestock paid by three or five households to ensure abundance! In other words, just supplying these two hundred people may need to waste the farming income of thousands of households."

"Not only that, they cannot take care of themselves on weekdays, and they must have two slaves to take care of themselves at any time. Therefore, these two hundred people need to spend four or five hundred manpower. At the lowest limit, if there are no 1,500 or even two thousand households, these people will not be able to live a wealthy life. I let two hundred wastes go, but the Jiannu people have added two hundred burdens. What's wrong with this?"

"What's more, when the Jiannu people saw those Han soldiers coming back intact, they also received the travel expenses from their ministers. However, the Jiannu people of the same clan and clan all became blind and became burdens. Although the upper-class Jiannu chief was very sober and rational, he naturally knew that at this time, he had to rely on the Han people to stabilize Liaodong and use the military sources of the Han people in Liaodong to continue to fight with our Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. But the Jiannu people in the lower-class were afraid that they would be even more indignant. If someone spreads some rumors, the conflicts between them would be more intense."

"Your Majesty, my actions are all about consuming the power of the Jiannu people little by little. I will consume a little today and a little tomorrow. I will weaken Jiannu without any means or cost. This is the outcome. Of course, I will act without authorization and die. Please forgive me."

Emperor Aoki was moved when he heard this.

This trick is so brilliant.

It can be said that people have made the best use of it.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi with a sincere expression and shook his head, "I have handed these Jiannu prisoners to you to deal with, but I never expected that your conspiracy would be so far-reaching! But I, after hearing the words of the Lords, seemed to be unable to hold back my anger."

This is indeed the truth of Emperor Apocalypse.
