Chapter 215 Worry, Temporary Withdrawal

However, kill?

But how easy is it?

Not to mention the difficulty, even if we really have the ability to massacre these millions of refugees.

So the general who issued this order.

In the end, how should we face the condemnation and scorn of the whole world?
Just this number, millions of unarmed refugees!

If this is really an order for a massacre.

How great a sin would that be?
Imagine those innocent lives lost in the midst of swordplay.

Rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the fields.

Such a scene is simply chilling.

Such killing is not only an extreme disregard and trampling of life.

It is also a huge challenge to human morality and conscience!
Therefore, whether it is true or not.

The general who gave the order to massacre the refugees.

In the end, you have to apologize to the whole world!

This sin of killing must never be committed!

On the battlefield, the two armies fought, swords flashed, and blood flowed like a river.

This is the cruelty of war and also the inevitability of history.

In such an environment, no matter how many people are killed, it will not cause criticism or condemnation.

Because war is cruel.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

This is an iron law since ancient times.

Even if you annihilate all the military forces of an empire, millions of troops.

Others will only praise you as the God of War and the God of Killing on the battlefield.

Because that is your achievement, your honor, the glory you earned with your blood and life on the battlefield.

But, wielding a butcher knife at a group of unarmed refugees.

That's another story.

Refugees are victims of war and helpless in life.

They left their homes and wandered around just to find a place to settle down.

They were unarmed and had no power to resist, so they could only be slaughtered.

And as a general, if he gave the order to massacre them.

That is a cruel and inhumane act!

The massacre of refugees is not only a disregard and trampling of human life.

It is also an extreme challenge to humanity, morality and justice.

Such behavior will arouse anger and condemnation from people all over the world.

And those generals who gave the orders for the massacre.

It will also be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Become a sinner who will be infamous for eternity.

Such a general is no longer a hero on the battlefield.

Instead, he became a butcher!
He is a demon that all righteous people in the world want to kill as soon as possible!

By then, they will be under pressure from various schools of thought and even the Jianghu dynasty.

No one can protect the person who gave the order!
Each school of thought holds unique ideas and values.

They may have some academic debates, but when faced with such inhumane behavior.

We will also unite and speak out together.

Even those old monsters of Confucianism who hide in the school all day long and talk about "zhihuzheya".

Although he usually lived in seclusion, he was committed to the education of knowledge and morality.

But once you encounter such an incident that violates human ethics and tramples on life.

They will definitely be alarmed and stand up without hesitation to uphold justice.

The Jianghu Dynasty, as another major force in ancient society, will not sit idly by.

Although people in the underworld often act based on personal preferences and loyalty.

But they also have their own moral bottom line and sense of justice.

Faced with this kind of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, the public will inevitably be outraged.

By the time.

If the ruler of the dynasty does not want to be decent.

Then they will help the emperor of the dynasty to look good!

In the event of public outrage.

Even if the lord of the dynasty holds the Taoist soldiers, he dare not say anything more.

Although the Taoist soldiers are powerful, they cannot resist the support of the people.

If he insisted on defending the general who ordered the massacre of refugees.

Then he will lose the support of the people and lose the world.

In ancient society, the support of the people was an important factor in determining the rise and fall of a dynasty.

The ruler of the dynasty who has lost the support of the people.

Just like a tree without roots or water without a source, it cannot last long.

After all, Confucianism controls the middle and lower-level bureaucrats of most dynasties.

This is undeniable, both in history and in reality.

Confucianism, with its profound cultural heritage and moral concepts.

It has profoundly influenced the thoughts of emperors and scholars of all dynasties.

Therefore, Confucianism never clearly stands on the side of any force in political struggles.

But its influence is everywhere, controlling the fate of the dynasty at all times.

Confucian neutrality is not true neutrality.

Although they do not directly participate in the struggle for power.

However, it indirectly influences the exercise of power by controlling education and public opinion.

By training a large number of bureaucrats and scholars.

Inject Confucian ideas and values ​​into every area of ​​the dynasty, including politics, economy, and culture.

In this way, even if Confucianism itself does not hold real power.

He was also able to exert a profound influence on the dynasty through his disciples and believers.

Therefore, once the Confucianism is completely offended.

That means you have lost the support of this huge class of bureaucrats and scholars.

This will directly lead to your dynasty getting into trouble in various fields such as politics, economy, and culture.

Without the support of Confucianism, the dynasty would lose a large number of bureaucrats and scholars.

These bureaucrats and scholars are the foundation of the operation of the dynasty.

Without them, the dynasty would be like an empty city, without any vitality or vigor.

What’s more serious is that offending Confucianism will cause social unrest and turmoil.

Confucianism has a wide influence in society.

Once Confucianism is thoroughly offended, society's morality and values ​​will fall into chaos.

This will lead to social unrest and instability, and may even trigger popular resistance and uprising.

Under such circumstances, the dynasty's rule will become precarious and will not be far from complete collapse.

Therefore, above the Confucian Tianwu Continent.

No matter which dynasty or dynasty, no one dared to offend Confucianism easily.

They know that although Confucianism does not take a clear stance, its influence is everywhere.

Only by respecting and treating Confucianism well can the stability and prosperity of the dynasty be maintained.

Otherwise, it would offend Confucianism.

Then the fate of the dynasty will become unpredictable.

It may even be on the brink of collapse.

Yang Su had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He turned and looked at the soldiers around him, although they were all brave and fearless.

But after a day of fierce fighting, they could not hide the fatigue on their faces.

"Ugh!"

"Withdraw."

This is not the time to get entangled.

Instead of wasting manpower here, it is better to conserve strength and look for a better opportunity to fight.

So Yang Su decisively ordered a retreat.

The voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

As his orders were passed down, the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty retreated in an orderly manner like a tide, leaving behind an empty battlefield.

On the Hongwu Ming army side, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan did not pursue the victory.

They stood on a high place, watching their opponents leave, without much joy on their faces.

They knew that this was just a small battle to test each other.

It does not mean the end of the war, but may be the beginning of a longer confrontation.
