Iron Dynasty

The soldiers walked out of Chuzhou City one by one.

The soldiers who surrendered were all required to drop their weapons and remove their armor, leaving only a commoner.

The soldiers of the Nanzheng Army took flintlock guns to supervise the soldiers who came out of the city to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Following the soldiers, Xiao Han also walked out of the city.

Lu Fei had been waiting for Xiao Han, and when he saw Xiao Han coming out, he said, Your Highness, you have made a wise decision, otherwise I don't know how many soldiers will die in vain.

General Lu said that Xiao Wang made this decision because he felt sorry for the soldiers. I hope that General Lu can speak a few words for Xiao Wang in front of His Highness in the future.

Of course there's no problem with this, I'll keep my word. Lu Fei said.

Xiao Han smiled bitterly, Thank you, General.

Lu Fei nodded. At this time, he asked Luo Hong to take Xiao Han to a tent to take care of him. Like King Wei, Xiao Han also belonged to the royal family. hands-on.

Taking Xiao Han into custody, Lu Fei frowned as he looked at the many prisoners, Bai Mu noticed Lu Fei's expression, he said: General, this is troublesome, these soldiers are too many, stay in the army for our rations It’s not enough to eat, and it’s a hidden danger to leave these people behind.”

Lu Fei was also thinking about this issue. He said: These people are a burden to us now. In this way, after these soldiers have eaten, they will be given three days of dry food for each of them and let them return to their hometowns.

Well, this is a way. Bai Mu nodded, these more than 100,000 people will also eat them down.

Lu Fei said: And letting these soldiers go back can also promote our kindness, and at the same time destroy the morale of other city defenders.

After making a plan to deal with the prisoners, Lu Fei sent people to send the battle situation in Chuzhou City to Qingzhou City. The next day he asked the soldiers to distribute dry food to the prisoners for three days. The people of the country, and they will also be the people of the country in the future, and it is because of this thought that he will be so generous.

After getting the dry food, the captured soldiers left the Nanzhen army camp one after another. At the same time, Lu Fei began to rectify the southern expedition army and marched towards the southern city. Today, the Weidi Tongzhou, Yangzhou, Jinling City, Pengzhou City, Huaizhou City, and Chuzhou Army are all located. All were conquered, and only seven cities remained.

The distance between these seven cities is very close, and Lu Fei believes that he can take these seven cities within a month.

Qingzhou.

Three days after Lu Fei took Chuzhou City, Xiao Han and Zhan Bao arrived at the Qingzhou Camp.

Xiao Ming, who got the news, took Fiji to the Qingzhou Camp as soon as possible.

When seeing Xiao Han in the cage, Fiji said: Your Highness, that's right, this is Xiao Han, the eldest son of King Wei.

His Royal Highness, this is Lu Fei's battle report. This time, 120,000 troops were dropped. After Lu Fei seized their weapons and armor, he gave them three days of dry food to let them leave on their own. Niu Ben said.

Fiji nodded when he heard the words, and he said: Lu Fei handled it well this time. These soldiers who stayed in the army are also consuming food. It's better to let them go back to farming.

Xiao Ming glanced at the battle report. It was the same as what Niu Ben said. These soldiers were no longer a threat to the Southern Expedition Army, but they were a burden to Qingzhou. If he turned these people into slaves, it would inevitably cause the people of Wei to suffer. Dissatisfied, let them go on their own is the best choice.

He didn't stay at Bowen College for nothing during this time. Xiao Ming said.

At this time, Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Han. In the battle report, Lu Fei said that he promised to spare Xiao Han's life and asked Xiao Ming to spare Xiao Han's death. He said to Xiao Han: You and I are both royal family members. There is also some credit for the surrender of the soldiers, this king will not kill you, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the death penalty cannot escape, this king decided to demote you to the Ryukyu Island as a commoner, are you willing?

Xiao Han felt sorrow in his heart, and he was already prepared for this result. He said, Thank you, Your Highness, Long En. It's just that the sinner has something to ask for. Please, Your Highness, will reunite the sinner with his family.

If they are still in Jinling City, this king will bring them to Qingzhou and go to Ryukyu with you. Xiao Ming said, although he didn't like Wei Wang's family very much, but now that he has promised them, and Xiao Han He can only give Xiao Han a way to survive.

But keeping him in Fengguo will inevitably have some thoughts in the minds of Weidi's remnants, so he sent Xiao Han to Ryukyu. In such a place surrounded by the sea, he was unable to fly and could no longer make waves.

Having said this, Xiao Ming motioned to the officers to temporarily detain Xiao Han, and then the three of them went to Niuben's camp.

There was a huge sand table in Niu Ben's tent at this time. This sand table was the city and topographic map of Wei Di. Niu Ben pointed to the seven cities that had not been conquered and said, Your Highness, now there are only these seven cities left. When the city is over, Lu Fei will continue to rectify his army, and if the north and the south attack, within a month or so, the Wei land will be pacified.

Xiao Ming nodded, Chuzhou City's army surrendered, Wei Di has already gone, and now he is just picking up some remnants of defeated soldiers, the problem is not big, now his most annoying thing is not the war but how to deal with so many cities.

Fiji is a little excited. Now that they have won a city like Weidi, these cities must be managed by officials. In this way, officials in Chang'an who have nothing to do in Qingzhou have a place to go.

So he said: His Royal Highness, it is time to prepare the officials of the government for these cities.

Xiao Ming nodded. It was precisely because of this problem that he brought Fiji out this time. The thirteen prefectures in Weidi have a large population, and a large number of officials must be required to manage this place.

These officials from Chang'an are proficient in government affairs one by one. Even if they no longer study in Bowen College, they can manage Wei Di. Now that they have learned the knowledge of Bowen College, there is no problem.

In this case, you will assess them in the past two days, and if they are qualified, they will be assigned corresponding positions. Xiao Ming said.

Fiji nodded, he was better at this than Xiao Ming.

Niu Ben said: His Royal Highness, what should we do with the defenders of these cities? Wei Di has just been captured, and it will inevitably be flooded with chaotic troops and thieves for a period of time. We must guard against it.

Xiao Ming had already had his own thoughts on this issue. He couldn't set up an army in every state, so he said, This problem is not difficult. You help the main government to establish a local guardhouse, and the guardhouse will be responsible for local security.

The guard station in Xiao Ming's mouth is the guard station in the last government reform, which is basically equivalent to a modern police agency.

However, because Wei Di may be very chaotic for a while, he will increase the number of personnel in the guard.
