One person shouted angrily.
Yuwen Chengqing also whispered in Qin Yu's ear, "These people control half of the wealth of the Chu State. If we kill them, at most we can get the gold and silver in their treasury, but we will lose all their businesses. The loss will be heavy!"
"General Yuwen, your knowledge is still too shallow. These people should still control most of Chu's arable land. Killing them will plunge Chu into long-term chaos, and it will be difficult to restore farming in a short period of time."
Qin Yu said directly.
Yuwen Chengqing frowned and his expression became even uglier. If even the farmland would be affected, then he couldn't kill these people.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
Qin Yu suddenly said.
Then, Yuwen Chengqing saw Qin Yu take a pack of explosives from Yu Desheng's hand, light it, and throw it directly into the crowd.
Bang!
There was a loud bang, and hundreds of nobles were killed or injured. Qin Yu took out another explosive pack, lit it and threw it in. There was another loud bang, and another hundred people died!
At this moment, there was fear in the eyes of these noble families.
"You! You really dare to kill us! Don't you want the resources we control? Do you know that the tax we pay every year is no less than five million taels!"
One person said in horror.
"So what? The total amount of silver in your treasury is definitely no less than 50 million taels. This is the total amount of your tax revenue for the past ten years. Within ten years, this prince is confident that he can support a noble family to replace you!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
Gum!
Everyone swallowed hard and looked at Qin Yu with fear in their eyes!
What they are proud of is their business and the taxes they can bring to the court, but these are worthless in Qin Yu's eyes!
"Your Highness! We know we were wrong, please forgive us!"
One person just admitted defeat.
"Your Highness! I know I was wrong. If you will let us go, we will definitely repay you!"
Immediately afterwards, the noble families knelt down and admitted their mistakes.
Yuwen Chengqing looked at Qin Yu in shock. Did he know that these people were not as tough as they appeared, or did he simply think that these people were useless?
"This prince doesn't need rewards from people like you, but I'm not a bloodthirsty person. I just counted, and there are about twenty of you!"
"And this prince only needs five, so I will order a massacre. Only the five families who survive will be eligible to surrender!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
what!
Yuwen Chengqing stared at Qin Yu with his eyes wide open. These people have agreed to surrender. Daliang can obtain the resources of these people, and the national treasury will be enriched in a short time!
And Qin Yu actually wanted to kill most of them!
"You! How can you be so vicious! We have all agreed to surrender, yet you still want to kill us!"
One person gritted his teeth and said.
"When conquering a city, the people in it must be massacred. You insisted on standing out and being the first to do so. If I don't kill you to establish my authority, wouldn't that be a waste of your kindness?"
Qin Yu said coldly.
Then he waved his hand, and immediately a thousand Red Flame Iron Cavalry came out and began to slaughter the nobles of Pegasus City!
"Stop! As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to let these people go and promise not to massacre the city, I swear that I will be His Royal Highness's servant for the rest of my life!"
At this time, a cute little girl appeared and looked at Qin Yu and said.
