The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Do you think you're tough?"

Zhang Ye stared at his pretending to be strong expression and asked calmly.

"It's already been done. Can you let me go, if you're tough or not?"

The bandit leader gritted his teeth and said.

He knew very well that he was now in a desperate situation and that there was no way he could escape the impending death.

Instead of crying and begging like a stray dog ​​in front of the enemy, it is better to stand up straight and fight to the end like a tough guy. Even if you cannot escape death in the end, you can still leave a reputation as a tough guy in the world and make people in the future respect you.

"Okay, I like your toughness."

A smile appeared on Zhang Ye's lips, but his eyes became colder.

"You think you can live without it, because your family has enough food and clothing, and they can continue to live a good life without you, right?"

The bandit leader, who had a cold face the previous second, had a flash of doubt and fear in his eyes when he heard this, but he remained silent, acting as if he was ready to kill or chop you up as you please.

"Dig out his identity information for me. Everyone at home, including his wife, children, parents, relatives, and neighbors, anyone who knows his identity and has benefited from his privileges, arrest them all."

Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes, but the smile on his face never stopped.

"Do you know why banditry has never been eradicated? First, the current social management system is clearly flawed. When emergencies or illegal and criminal acts occur, law enforcement agencies are often unable to arrive at the scene quickly and implement effective control measures."

"It is precisely because of this lag and uncertainty that a deep-seated mentality of luck has gradually emerged among criminals. These criminals believe that even if they commit heinous and wicked acts, they can escape legal sanctions by exploiting loopholes that prevent law enforcement from responding immediately, thus becoming increasingly impunity in their criminal activities."

The cold voice in this frigid wilderness was like needles piercing the hearts of many bandits.

It is undeniable that what Zhang Ye said makes some sense. If law enforcement agencies were spread throughout Donglu, they would have no chance of reaching their current scale.

But Fang Yu couldn't be blamed for this. After all, they had just arrived in Donglu and were already trying their best to develop.

"Secondly, the punishment isn't harsh enough. After a period of development, bandit leaders like these have already accumulated a lot of money. Even if they are caught and killed, they feel it's worth it. They enjoy themselves, and their families can live the rest of their lives in peace and prosperity."

"In today's situation, ordinary people can't even afford a full meal, yet they are able to work hard and create wealth that countless people cannot accumulate in their entire lives. Anyone who is not a fool would choose this!"

"So, if we want to put an end to this, if we want them to learn a lesson and make them feel pain, we have to use some drastic measures!"

Having said this, Zhang Ye turned around, stared at the bandit leader's face which was covered in sweat, and gave instructions in a very serious tone.

"Kill all the people I just mentioned, confiscate their property, and prevent the next three generations of their clan from enjoying any government benefits!"

poof...

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit leader fell to the ground like a noodle, his whole body twitching and his eyes dull. He no longer had the rebellious look he had just had. Instead, he begged for mercy in a trembling and sobbing voice.

"Sir, spare my life, sir!"

"Sir, I became a bandit and massacred civilians. I deserve death. My family, young and old, were not involved in this. They are all innocent!"

At this moment, not only the bandit leader was crying and begging for mercy, but even his younger brothers were frightened and at a loss, they were extremely panicked and all knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

I have to say that Zhang Ye's move was extremely cruel. Not only would he slaughter your entire family, but also your relatives, friends, and even neighbors.

Moreover, starting from your generation, the next three generations will all have no future. Even if all your family members are dead, the next three generations of relatives will suffer.

This decision is so murderous and heartbreaking that it makes people feel uneasy even after death.

Just imagine, if a family has such a relative, even if he dies, he will have no peace in the underworld, and the next three generations will probably curse him for more than a hundred years!

This kind of punishment is comparable to digging up one's ancestors' graves. Very few people can withstand it. No matter how tough a man you are, you probably cannot accept the punishment of collective punishment!

Unless you meet someone who is naturally cold-blooded and completely disregards family and friendship.

Otherwise, no one among the people of Daxia can withstand this move!

"Do you regret it now?"

Zhang Ye looked at the bandits in front of him who were wailing and bleeding from their heads, and suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

This is exactly the effect he wants. Only by making these people afraid and afraid to move when they remember the price they have to pay, can the meaning of punishment be realized.

"Kill them all!"

In the end, Zhang Ye still did not let these people go. With a command, the soldiers of the guard company gathered together and shot them all to death regardless of their wailing.

As for the issue of collective punishment, Zhang Ye did not plan to implement it immediately, but handed the matter over to Fang Yu.

"Starting tomorrow, this news will be on the front page of the Dawn Newspaper. Within three months, the three provinces of Donglu, Wuyue, and Huishan will launch a comprehensive anti-bandit campaign. During these three months, those who voluntarily return, are willing to learn and mend their ways, will be forgiven!"

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Three months later, if anyone becomes a bandit again or repeats the same mistake, or becomes a bandit again, they will be punished according to the previous sentence. Their entire family will be punished as well. There will be no leniency!"

"Yes, Marshal!"

Fang Yu quickly wrote down his instructions and did not object to the rule.

Yes, extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary times, especially at such a chaotic moment. If we don't use thundering measures to deter these people, it will be extremely difficult to completely wipe them out.
