Chapter 1095(1/2)
The nature of weapons is to kill people. Ming's weapons engineers obviously took it a step further and turned it into a weapon that can hurt people.
Li Xiao held a green thing in his hand and squeezed it with his hands. It was made of engineering plastic.
I didn't expect that Daming's chemical industry would develop to this extent, and engineering plastics would be invented.
Li Xiao couldn't even imagine this kind of speed.
The thing in my hand is about the size of a table tennis ball and looks like a fruit.
No one will notice that this kind of thing will directly destroy a person's hands or feet.
That's right, it's a bomb.
In addition to explosives, there are countless steel balls.
After the safety is released after being thrown from high altitude, just touch it with your hands or feet, and more than a hundred steel balls will immediately fly out.
It is said that it is powerful enough to penetrate human bones!
People in mountainous areas lack medical care, hot weather and poor sanitary conditions.
It is inevitable that the wound will become inflamed. After the injury, you have to cut off your hands and feet, or wait for septicemia and die.
Li Xiao believed that Ming Dynasty's weapons researchers had achieved the ultimate in cost control.
They're already here to do the maximum damage with the minimum amount of damage.
In jungle warfare, the best weapon is actually the air force.
Looking down from the sky, he sprinkled these things around wherever there was smoke. Li Xiao couldn't even imagine what kind of miserable situation those rebels with their families would be in.
The most terrifying thing is that engineering plastics have excellent plasticity.
In other words, this thing can change into various shapes.
Sometimes it's a fruit, sometimes it's a dark, dry branch.
Sometimes it's even a yellow clod of soil or a gray stone.
God knows what could be deadly around you.
As long as one person steps on something and explodes, the consequence is that everyone will think that the things around them will explode.
This is the psychological deterrent of things like landmines!
The ground is covered with such things. Let alone the rebels who dare not stay in the forest, no one dares to enter the forest now.
Li Xiao even saw several children who had just had their legs amputated.
With their young eyes and big eyes, they obviously still don’t know what they have experienced.
Thick gauze was wrapped around their thin arms. Without Daming's anti-inflammatory drugs, their pain would have increased many times.
Because the traditional anti-inflammatory method is to chop off the hands and feet with a knife and then burn them with fire.
Until the wound is burnt, it is considered that the inflammation has been successfully cured.
The most outrageous thing is that the entire process was performed without anesthesia.
No wonder six out of ten people cannot survive this primitive amputation surgery.
"Commander, thank you for arranging a plane to come over.
We repaired Nanning Airport in two months, and the planes arrived and quickly destroyed the rebel anti-aircraft guns." Zuo Liangyu's temples were already gray.
Obviously, the new appointment has given him a second career.
"The plane was not damaged?" Although he knew the result, Li Xiao still asked.
"The plane is too fast for the anti-aircraft guns to react. Generally speaking, if you fire a few shots, it will be blown up by the bombs dropped.
There were also some anti-aircraft guns hidden, and someone came over to inform us.
The plane was flying at a low altitude, and the air waves it raised blew away the camouflaged branches and other things.
Once the bomb is dropped, nothing will happen."
"Snitch?" Li Xiao was a little confused. He didn't expect these chieftains to have such simple minds.
How could Ming let them go so easily despite all his efforts?
What do you think!
Li Xiao had given the order, and a life would be overturned if a stone was fired.
"Commander! I can't stay in the mountains any longer.
The anti-aircraft guns were killed, and the airships were divided into pieces and wandered around the woods all day long.
Wherever you see smoke during the day, there is fire wherever you see it at night.
Take the airship near the number collection and throw these things on the ground. Anyway, there is everything, so throw it down as hard as you can.
The airship has a long idle time and can fly for more than twelve hours. This is not a problem!
After surrounding people, they took advantage of the low air pressure in the morning to throw chlorine gas bombs.
Those who escaped said that they could not cook food and had no place to take shelter from the rain.
I finally found a cave on a rainy day, and a few people came down from the airship. They blocked the entrance of the cave with cannonballs and poured chlorine gas into it desperately.
Many times, when people die, they end up in a hole. Young and old alike...!"
Li Xiao was a little dumbfounded. This Zuo Liangyu is a fucking genius. He can use chlorine bombs so well!
This guy definitely does this a lot overseas.
"Your troops...!" Li Xiao heard Zuo Liangyu's tactics and didn't understand what his troops were doing.
After all, the forest is now full of dangerous explosives. No one dares to go in!
Those who come out will either have their hands and feet damaged by the explosion. Those who are unlucky will die on the spot. That is an absolute narrow escape!
"My soldiers are stationed at the edge of the forest, patrolling day and night. If they see anyone emerging from the forest, they will be arrested and any adult male will be killed with one shot.
This child and woman... are still waiting for instructions from the commander."
"It's nonsense. Didn't the Marshal say it before? If a person's head is stabbed, the house will be burned. Are you blind or deaf?"
Yuan Chonghuan, who was following Li Xiao, reprimanded him loudly.
Zuo Liangyu served as a regiment leader under him, but did not dare to say a word even after being reprimanded by Yuan Chonghuan.
"Women and children are sent to the Western Regions. Since you don't want to stay in the southwest, let's go to the northwest." Li Xiao said lightly, which decided the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.
"Commander, these Miao and Zhuang barbarians are not of my race. If they survive, there may be something unexpected...!"
Yuan Chonghuan's words made Li Xiao feel that it was right not to let him be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
This pure nationalist always holds the saying that people who are not of my race must have different hearts!
This is what he did to the Jurchens back then.
The Jurchen tribe had grown so large that only less than 10,000 people remained in the Liaodong Peninsula.
Li Xiao felt that Sun Yuanhua forced the Miao and Zhuangman chieftains to rebel. The real front-end operator was probably this guy.
"Mr. Governor, I'm afraid this is a bit much. After all, they are all old people and children!
And there are quite a few who did not participate in Liuzhou's rebellion at all. They were all coerced!
There are even people like Gongga Tusi who have taken direct refuge with us.
We have all been killed and everyone is gone. What use does this place have for us!"
Zuo Liangyu, who was pointed in the nose and scolded by Yuan Chonghuan and didn't dare to speak back, actually spoke back at this time.
"Loyalty needs to be proven with blood.
Those who did not participate in the massacre of Liuzhou can let them go. However, they need to show enough loyalty.
The rebellion in Guangxi has been put down, but the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou has not yet been resolved.
Kunming is still besieged by rebels from time to time!
Although Guiyang can be defended, it is also very difficult.
Send them some rifles and let them go to Yunnan and Guizhou to prove their loyalty.
Anyway, blood will be shed, and their blood will be the blood of those rebels. Choose for yourself!"
Li Xiao's words determined the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.
Not all chieftains participated in this rebellion.
Many of them waited and watched with a prudent attitude of protecting themselves, and some simply opened the gate of the village and surrendered when the Ming army arrived.
Now Li Xiao's intention is obvious, arm them and let them go to Yunnan and Guizhou to participate in the operation to annihilate the local rebels.
It is said that the rebels are annihilated, but as Li Xiao said, a head kills a house too much.
God knows what these people will do to survive.
"Use barbarians to control barbarians! The commander-in-chief is wise." Yuan Chonghuan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately bowed to Li Xiao.
