Nevestus doesn't have family in QiCharlemagne wrote:Firstly, Dong Ke would have had Nevestivus' entire family slain before he even got back to Qi. That kind of insubordination would never be tolerated in the Zheng Empire.
Never claimed ol Zhefu was compassionate. You saw what he did to Qing Bu yeah?But Secondly, Dong Ke would have just paid the ransom, and then flogged his officers for shooting their mouths off in another ruler's audience hall.
Despite the fact that some of it is impossible for me to do (build a Zhao/Yin fort??) We do not negotiate with terrorists!
But Thirdly, I do give credit to Nevestivus for being more compassionate than Zhefu in the first place.
