Chapter 9 The Immortal Minister

At the beginning of the battle, Han Qing actually kept his hands. He only spent two or three minutes with great strength. He didn't even pull out his knife, but used the scabbard to hit those who rushed.

But Han Qing soon found that the eyes of these defeated soldiers were all red, and they had no intention of leaving their hands. They wanted to kill Han Qing.

Han Qing, who inherited the memory of this era, told Han Qing that he should never be merciful at this time, otherwise he would only harm himself.

So Han Qing pulled out his knife and cut and killed without mercy.

Whether Han Qing's sword is the best one in the eight armories of the Song Dynasty is unknown. Han Qing only knows that his sword must be the heaviest one in the eight armories of the Song Dynasty - it's just a one handed sword, with a total weight of nine jin, six liang and six yuan, heavier than most maces.

With such a heavy knife and Han Qingli's great power, people who are often struck by him are cut off with one stroke, which is very bloody.

In this way, Han Qing didn't cut down ten people, and no one dared to approach him anymore.

Han Qing's close soldiers are all full of food. Facing the defeated soldiers who are so hungry that they can hardly walk, they work together in a group of three and act decisively and ruthlessly.

In addition, close soldiers have weapons in hand, while most of the defeated soldiers are bare handed.

Often ten or twenty defeated soldiers are not the opponents of three close soldiers.

To say the least, even if one or two close soldiers are beaten down by the defeated disabled soldiers, there will soon be another close soldier to take the place of the defeated close soldiers and continue to fight with the defeated disabled soldiers in a group of three.

The defeated soldiers became more and more frightened.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer disabled soldiers and defeated generals rushing forward - many of them, when they see that the situation is not good, are very smart to retreat to a distance to watch.

Soon, Han Qing took his 500 close soldiers to kill or overthrow all the defeated soldiers who dared to rush forward, pacified the riot and rescued a group of officials from the Ministry of Household.

By the way, in this process, Han Qing killed the two brothers Xin Daozong and Xin Qizong, who had encouraged the defeated soldiers to kill themselves, so that the defeated soldiers saw Han Qing's vindictive attitude and shocked all the defeated soldiers.

Han Qing ordered his own soldiers to tie up all the remaining soldiers and defeated generals in the whole camp.

The defeated soldiers who could not run out of the closed camp and could not fight the soldiers, had to be honestly captured and left to Han Qing.

Han Qing did not go to salute Mei and ask for instructions, but directly dealt with it: "The officers above the commander in charge should go out and stand to the left."

Many officers walked out dejectedly, then walked to the left and stood still.

Of course, there are also many clever officers who continue to hide in the crowd.

What made these clever officers secretly happy was that Han Qing did not investigate who was still an officer.

Han Qing said to the officers who came out, "The officers who did the fighting should go out and go to the left."

Some officers stepped out and stood to the far left.

During this process, many officers were lucky enough to do something, but they didn't go out.

Han Qing still hasn't studied deeply.

Han Qing turned to the junior Wei Yong again and said, "Those who didn't do anything should step out and stand to the right."

Hearing Han Qing's order, several thousand people stood out of Hulala, leaving only a few hundred people.

After looking at the four groups of defeated soldiers, Han Qing said, "The people who knocked down my own soldiers should go out."

Not to mention, a dozen people bravely stood out.

When everyone stood still, Han Qingcai announced his punishment decision: "Wei Yong who fought against me will be punished with ten army staffs each, and the rest will be punished with twenty army staffs each. The officer who fought against me will be punished with twenty army staffs each, and the rest will be punished with forty army staffs each. If they fail to do so, the punishment will be doubled. The army staff of Wei Yong and officers will be 40 and 80 respectively. "

Han Qing also explained: "Those who commit insurrection must be severely punished. However, soldiers will win a war, and losing is a crime. Therefore, those who win will be given a lighter punishment, and those who lose will be given a heavier punishment."

Those who did not participate in the fight quit and asked Han Qing: "We have not joined the war again, why should we also be punished more than those who did it?"

Han Qing glared and scolded: "Seeing that his robes were fighting, he would not help or kill others. It's a great favor. How dare you argue?"

The order given by the soldiers to Han Qing was carried out without any discount. When Han Qing waved his hand, they went to execution separately.

After a while, the camp began to howl, which was unbearable to hear.

After ordering people to deal with the hundreds of deaths and injuries, Han Qingcai came to Mei and said, "My husband, I have come to reply."

Plum saluted, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Ziju (Han Qing's word) is really a strong general."

At the moment of the mutiny, Mei Zhili's face turned white with fear. He thought that Han Qing had caused great trouble. He who recommended Han Qing must also be implicated.

Unexpectedly, Han Qing easily suppressed the riot of 4500 people with only 500 people.

As for the dead and wounded, what is it?

The most worthless thing now is the lives of the defeated soldiers. Even if they had a choice, Zhao Huan and some Song officials hoped that the defeated soldiers who wasted precious food and might cause trouble at any time would die.

Therefore, Han Qing's killing and injuring some defeated soldiers is not a bad thing, nor is it important at all. What is important is that Han Qingzhen can clean up these defeated soldiers to understand the advantages of the Imperial Court.

After praising Han Qing, Mei Zhili was puzzled: "There is only one thing I don't know. Why did Ziju punish them like this?"

Han Qing took Mei Zhili aside and whispered, "My husband, I don't mean that if the Jin people leave, the Song Dynasty will be free. If the Jin people leave, they will come back again. There are also Xixia, Tubo, Dali, Li Dynasty, and Zhancheng. If there is no strong army to protect China, China will be bullied sooner or later. Therefore, the last generals hope to inspire the blood of these soldiers so that they can defend their families and the country in the future. "

Mei Zhili then understood Han Qing's hard work.

After hesitating for a while, Han Qing said again, "I will think that it is not easy for Jin Ren to leave this time, so we should make preparations in case."

Mei bowed and his heart tightened. He lowered his voice and asked, "Ziju is saying that the Jin people may break the agreement?"

Han Qing said in a deep voice, "We must guard against it."

Mei Zhili thought for a while, and thought that although the Jin people were greedy, they didn't seem to break the agreement. He then said, "Ziju was too careful."

Han Qing did not argue, but said: "Not the best."

The two men were silent for a while, and Mei saluted Han Qing before reminding him: "Yes, Ziju, many officers didn't listen to your order and went out on their own initiative. You should deal with this matter carefully, otherwise it will make people feel unfair and cause trouble again."

"Just want to discuss this with my husband."

Han Qing looked at the officers who were out of the line and continued: "Today's battalions are in a mess, which is inconvenient for the imperial court to control. I will ask your majesty to reorganize them according to the existing officers so that the imperial court can control the army."

At the beginning, Mei did not respond to the salute.

However, Mei Zhili soon figured it out. Han Qing wanted to get rid of those officers who were hiding. "You are not willing to admit that you are an officer. Then you should be a low rank captain. Don't make a fuss. It's your own choice. If you break your teeth, you will swallow them."

To understand this, Mei Zhili admired Han Qing more and more: "Take one step and look at three steps, and do everything without leakage. What a great minister!"
