If it were the original Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely be reluctant to abandon Liaoyang after capturing it, and would most likely choose to follow Shen Yongmao's advice.

However, the current Emperor Chongzhen got a truth from the history that he had heard and heard. After Wei Mulan relayed it, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but said with admiration: "If you save the land and lose the people, everyone and the land will be lost; if you save the people and lose the land, everyone will lose the land." All are saved! You are truly worthy of Your Majesty. You can express such simple and easy-to-understand principles. It is really a blessing for our Ming Dynasty and the blessing of Dongjiang!"

After sighing, he saw that Wei Mulan had no more orders to relay, so he loudly ordered: "Come, according to your Majesty's orders, open the warehouse and put food in!"

Lu Xiangsheng could not take away all the supplies in Liaoyang City no matter what. Rather than burning it, it is better to distribute it to the people in the city. This kind of thing, for Emperor Chongzhen who came from later generations, was as habitual as drinking water.

At this time, Liaoyang City, although the war has ended, is still under martial law. When the people in the city heard the sound of fighting, they hid in their homes and were worried. Whenever there is a war, the people will definitely suffer disaster. This has been the case since ancient times.

Later, I heard someone shouting on the street that the Ming army was coming and they defeated Jianlu. This made many people doubtful. The Ming army suddenly captured Liaoyang, which seemed to be a daydream.

They didn't have the guts to go out, but they could peek through the crack in the door. Most of the people patrolling the streets were original Han slaves and Koreans, and there were not many Ming troops. They couldn't believe what they saw. Most of them were members of the family hiding in the room discussing.

To be honest, although the people of Liaoyang were not very fond of the previous rule of the Ming army, after the rule of Jianlu, they realized that although there were various problems in the previous Ming army period, they could at least treat them as human beings. People of the same race are not the lowest of the bunch and can be bullied by anyone. Therefore, they also welcomed the arrival of the Ming army in their hearts.

But they also know how bad the Ming army is every time they face Jianlu. Even last year, Jianlu went to the pass to grab a handful, which made them despair of the Ming army's combat effectiveness. They felt that it was impossible for the Ming army to conquer Liaoyang again.

Every household had different opinions, and many people were speculating about what was happening outside with anxiety about the future, when they heard shouts of opening warehouses to release grain.

At this time, as long as the people of Liaoyang heard the shouting, they immediately put aside all arguments. For them, eating is the first thing. Whether they believed it or were doubtful, they all took the containers at home and timidly went out under the temptation of eating.

Slowly, heads appeared on the deserted street. When they saw the soldiers standing on the street, they all nodded and bowed habitually.

The order has been passed down, and the soldiers said to them one by one with smiles on their faces: "Master Zhongcheng has ordered you to go to the official square and collect food and supplies there. Don't mess around, don't rob, everyone has it!"

As a result, the crowd slowly gathered in the official square. Along the way, the patrols did not commit any crimes, which made the people of Liaoyang more and more courageous.

When they arrived at the square and saw a hill-like pile of Jianlu's corpses not far from the government office, as well as the corpses of other groups of soldiers who usually worked hard to help Jianlu, they couldn't help but get excited. Sure enough, we won! If seeing was not believing, the long-standing impression that Jianlu was invincible would not be so easy to reverse.

At the warehouse next to the square, food has been laid out, and soldiers are placing food there. When every citizen comes forward to receive food, the soldier responsible for distributing it will say to them: "According to the emperor's decree, I will distribute food to you!"

The people in Liaoyang who had received the grain looked at the heavy grains in their hands and thought of the corpses of Jianlu they had seen along the way. They were sure that the weather in Liaoyang had changed, and they couldn't help but burst into tears. In Liaoyang City, voices of sincere gratitude to the emperor for his kindness finally rang out.

The opening of the warehouse this time is not just about distributing food. Except for the needs of the army, all other supplies were distributed. This matter was busy until noon, and then it came to an end.

By this time, the Ming army, which had taken the time to rest after the battle, also took a little rest. Lu Xiangsheng then ordered a public trial of Babuhai and other Jianlu prisoners.

Obviously, this kind of thing must be Emperor Chongzhen's idea. The people of Liaoyang were very obedient this time and once again swarmed out and gathered in the square to accuse Jianlu with blood and tears. Lu Xiangsheng didn't even need to order the execution, and just threw the Jianlu into the middle of the people. However, after a short time, all the Jianlu, including Babuhai, turned into a ball of flesh.

Out of the resentment accumulated in their hearts, the people of Liaoyang fell to their knees one after another, either shouting long live the emperor or offering immortality tablets to Lu Xiangsheng. The prestige of Ming Dynasty and Lu Xiangsheng reached its peak at this time.

Wei Mulan was right next to Lu Xiangsheng, taking a few selective photos of what had just happened and sent them to Emperor Chongzhen, and put them in the folder for the liberation of Liaoyang. These will be valuable historical materials in the future and will be of considerable historical significance.

But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly in his heart. He had no choice but to announce bad news.

After the scene calmed down, Lu Xiangsheng said loudly: "The imperial court is not ready to regain Liaodong yet, but you can rest assured that the emperor is personally doing everything he can to prepare. The day of regaining Liaodong must not be far away!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people of Liaoyang recovered from their excitement and were replaced by confusion. They didn't know what Governor Denglai meant when he said this.

Only a few people with quick minds, thinking about the distribution of supplies and the guerrilla style of the Dongjiang Army in the past, vaguely noticed something, and their expressions changed a little.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Governor Denglai say again: "The emperor knows that the people of Liaodong have suffered too much, so he sent an order for me to make a surprise attack from thousands of miles away to teach the Jianlu captives a lesson and warn them not to act recklessly. If you dare to bully our Liaodong people, That’s what happens!”

Having said this, Lu Xiangsheng pointed at the ball of meat, and then continued: "There are also non-Jurchens who helped the Jurchens to harm you and other people. I have killed them and avenged the victimized people!"

After saying this, he pointed to the mountain of corpses. Some of the previous Han soldiers and Han slaves identified by Gao Yingyuan and Han Wu had already been executed to prevent possible backlash.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard about it in the morning, he secretly said it was a pity. Otherwise, these people also have public trial value, even more valuable than Babu Hai and others. It's just that Lu Xiangsheng and the others took care of it early without realizing it.
