Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 162
As the main buildings in the government office, especially the lobby with the upright plaque hanging, collapsed until they were burned down and turned into ruins.

It marked the complete disappearance of the Dashun regime that had just ruled here for a few months from Kaifeng Mansion. Although after dozens of battles, there was hardly an inch of intact land inside and outside Kaifeng City, but at the very least, it was back under the rule of Daming.

"General, the city has been captured. Let's see if the soldiers can relax now." Not long after the government office was burned down, Liu Zeqing, Xu Dingguo, and Gao Jie approached Zhang Yong.

The general feudal army, after capturing the enemy's city, will definitely indulge the soldiers to plunder wantonly, which has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the main residents in the city.

It doesn't even matter whether the city belongs to the enemy, after all, soldiers and officials don't care about these trivial issues to them.

"Don't ask me about this matter. Your Majesty only ordered me to attack the city. Now that the city has been captured, I have no responsibilities or rights." Zhang Yong's head is very rigid, and his headquarters has only [-] troops brought from Shandong Come over to the army adapted from the rebel army.

So he thinks that he can only manage his own 3 people, while the three departments of Gao Jie, Xu Dingguo, and Liu Zeqing are not within his management scope, and he should not intervene or manage them.

"But General, the soldiers have worked so hard for so long, if you don't let them relax, I'm afraid there will be trouble." Xu Dingguo's words were faintly threatening.

"The Kaifeng Mansion is the Eastern Capital, and the Eastern Capital is the Shige Department. You should ask him." Zhang Yong didn't understand Xu Dingguo's implication, but by chance, he kicked the ball to Shi Kefa.

"Okay, then let's ask the Shi Ge Department." Xu Dingguo didn't expect that Zhang Yong would be as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine, so he had to give up the permission to be robbed here.

Xu Dingguo is a greedy guy. He is not like a soldier, but more like a businessman. When attacking the city, he always put on a show and refused to contribute. When the city was breached, he ran like a dog asking for meat. faster than anyone else.

In fact, he was just using the banner of soldiers to blackmail Shangguan. No matter what happens in the end, he will definitely be the one who gets the most benefits.

"What, you are going to plunder for three days!" Shi Kefa almost jumped out of his chair in shock after hearing the request from the three of Xu Dinguo.

"Yes, my lord, the soldiers are too tired from attacking the city, if they are not allowed to relax, there will definitely be trouble." Xu Dingguo and Liu Zeqing fanned the flames.

"Besides, our officers and soldiers have always plundered bandit cities for three days. There is no reason for the soldiers to suppress them and not release them." Xu Dingguo brought up the bad habits of the officers and soldiers in the mainland during the bandit suppression period.

"No, no." Shi Kefa firmly refused.

He thought that the Kaifeng Mansion fought several years of wars in the last years of Chongzhen, and its population had already decreased by more than two-thirds. Now it has been besieged for more than ten days, and it is expected that a large number of artillery shells will be fired in the city, which will affect tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city. people.

Although the current Kaifeng Prefecture has a high political status, it is the prefectural government, the provincial capital, and the eastern capital, but its population is probably not as large as some small cities in the south that have not suffered from war.

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to watch the soldiers mutiny?" Xu Dingguo dared to threaten Shi Kefa with the mutiny. It seems that he has almost talked with Chiqing.

"You dare to threaten me!" Shi Kefa glared.

Originally, Gao Jie and his fellow warlords with titles were arrogant and domineering, but he didn't expect that a mere Henan general in Xu Dingguo would dare to behave wildly in front of his Shige department.

"The last general doesn't dare, he just told the adults the facts." Xu Dingguo said unhurriedly.

It seems that he is not afraid of Shi Kefa's anger at all. After all, Shi Kefa's soldiers are only 3000, but he has [-] to [-].

Moreover, he, Gao Jie, and Liu Zeqing are all semi-independent warlords. They support each other and are not afraid of the court at all.

"Hmph, Shen Liangru, His Majesty's Fujun envoy, is in the army. I will let him comfort the soldiers. You should stay outside the city. Supplies and rewards will be sent to the camp in a few days." Seeing Xu Dingguo, Shi Kefa said softly. Let's talk about it, and we won't pursue his fault. If it's true to the end, it's not necessarily who suffers.

Shi Kefa brought Shen Liangru out not to play football, this should have been Shen Liangru's job, Shi Kefa just let everyone perform their duties.

Besides, as a stay-at-home man in the eastern capital, he couldn't always care about these things. He had to start planning the reconstruction of Kaifeng Mansion, and at the same time rebuild the ruling institutions of the Ming court in the Henan area.

This is also a very important military event, and it can even be said to be no less important than fighting on the front line.

"Master Gebu, I see that there are a lot of open spaces in the city when we enter the city this time. Why don't some soldiers station in the city? The conditions outside the city are too harsh, which is not conducive to the recuperation of wounded soldiers."

Xu Dingguo was really aggressive, so he got the promise of rewarding the army and asked to enter the city to be stationed.

"No, there are a lot of ruins and rubbish in the city, and the cleaning is too cumbersome. It's better to be empty and clean outside the city. It's better to continue camping outside the city."

Shi Kefa rejected him without even thinking about it, jokingly, no one may know what kind of wishful thinking Xu Dingguo was planning, but everyone knows his bad intentions.

Shi Kefa dared to guarantee that once he allowed the wounded soldiers to enter the city, Xu Dingguo would slowly bring in all the troops from outside the city, and in the end he would even turn the hostess into the main force, occupying Kaifeng City and becoming the king.

"Well, since your lord insists on this, the last general can only obey."

Obviously he is the aggressive person, but he still pretends to be innocent. Shi Kefa thinks that Xu Dingguo is really hateful and can be killed.

Xu Dingguo thought to himself, this old official has a meticulous mind, it seems that he can only think long-term.

Speaking of this, the three people and Shi Kefa really had nothing to talk about, so they had to leave.

After the fall of Kaifeng City, they were stationed in the city to maintain law and order. The soldiers guarding the various government offices were Shi Kefa's pacesetter battalions, while Zhang Yong's [-] infantry troops guarded the four walls.

As for Gao Jie, Xu Dingguo, and Liu Zeqing, they were stationed outside the city, and they were not allowed to enter the city without a transfer order, and they were not allowed to leave the station without authorization.

Because the Zhou Palace in the city is the property of the royal family, Shi Kefa and others did not dare to tamper with it. They even sent troops to affix seals and patrol day and night to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing wall tiles, floor tiles, and wood.

As for other government offices in the city, they were all used by the original officials, so Shi Kefa and Shen Liangru had no official offices available for a while.

In the end, they had no choice but to find an open space in the city, and hastily built two courtyard houses with bricks, stones and wood as their official offices and residences.
