"These more than 7,000 people are all good at body training. I will continue to select them throughout the Western Region and gather 10,000 people as soon as possible."

Jiang Yao couldn't help but be very happy when he heard that more than 7,000 people had been selected from the entire army.

More than he imagined.

This is the benefit of the Ming army's high recruitment threshold.

As the Ming army marched northward, more and more monks from poor families followed the Ming army back to their hometown. In just a few days, more than a million people gathered!

However, along the way, we saw bones exposed in the wild and sparsely populated areas, all traces left by the charming tapir.

I don't know how many people were eaten by the charming tapirs and galloping wolf ferocious beasts. Many more people fled their hometowns. Only then did they dare to come back after learning that the Ming army had won a great victory.

In less than half a month, more than 30 million Jin clan people returned to the three states.

Since these days, Jiang Yao's will power has been skyrocketing. By the second day of the first lunar month of the second year of Hongwu, his will power has exceeded the eight million mark!

Far more than before the war.

It was only then that the growth of willingness slowed down.

When the Ming army arrived at Gaoyang Tiancheng, the royal city of the Jin clan, they were stunned.

The originally prosperous largest city in the Western Region has now become a ghost on earth.

Huge hills of bones were piled up inside and outside the city, and the stench could be smelled for hundreds of miles.

These mountains of white bones all bear the marks of gnawed teeth.

The huge city wall is covered with human skins with hair on them. The entire Gaoyang Tiancheng is covered with complete human skins.

The Charming Tapir tribe likes to eat offal and brain marrow most. After eating the offal and brain marrow, they eat meat and suck out the marrow.

As for skinning and heaping bones, that's not boring, it's for sacrifice.

After they dried the human skin, they re-draped it on the human bones and used it as fuel to burn fires to worship the charming tapir gods such as the God Zhipo and the Chilang God.

This is the "Burnt Bone Sacrifice" of the Charming Tapir Tribe, a ritual that existed in ancient times.

So many human bones and skins were of course prepared by the Charming Tapir Soldiers to hold the "Burnt Bone Sacrifice".

Seeing this scene, the murderous intention and anger of the Ming army turned into reality.

In the huge Gaoyang Tiancheng, not a single living person from before could be seen.

lifeless.

A huge pool appeared in the square inside the Jin clan's palace.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army felt their scalps numb as soon as their consciousness was swept away.

In the pool, there were densely packed corpses arranged neatly.

They were all the corpses of young female nuns, and they were all completely naked.

The number of corpses is no less than a million!

They all died after their souls were extracted, with no wounds. They were just soaked in blue salt water, pickled according to the method of the Charming Tapir Tribe, and prepared as delicious spiritual food.

Pickled fresh!

Many Jin clan monks who came back with the Ming army saw the corpses in the huge pickling pool. When they found their familiar faces, they suddenly burst into earth-shattering screams.

"Little sister!"

"Second sister!"

"Yunniang!"

"My son!"

"ah--"

For a time, the entire Gaoyang Tiancheng was filled with hatred and weeping!

When the Jin nobles and ministers saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.

Seeing the extremely miserable Gaoyang Tiancheng and hearing the earth-shattering cries and curses, Jin Li and others looked ashen as death.

The coldness they had never felt before made them want to disappear immediately and never come back again.

Jiang Yao looked at the bones, human skins, and pickled corpses everywhere, and said to himself:
Chapter completed!
