Lord of Ming Dynasty

After Xiao Fei left, Zhang Qiang and Gu Yuesheng were busy cleaning up Chen Youzheng's mess.

Generally speaking, Chen Youzheng's stall is easy to talk about.

Let the dead and injured be buried by the common people, and the wounded should be transported back to Xiaogan to be healed by the military doctors of the Huaxia Army. After some treatment, the seriously injured should be transported to Wuhan to settle down.

The slightly wounded were treated and settled in Xiaogan County, where they were asked to do what they could do, such as training the streets with the militia, such as cleaning the courtyard and the barracks.

Prisoner camps have garrison officers who screen them out. They will be screened there based on their previous experience. Those who surrendered to the Qing army were detained for three years, those who were originally Chen Youzheng’s anti-reverse army were detained for two years, and those who did not harm the people were detained for two years. Those who have harmed the common people will be imprisoned for five years, and those who have committed serious crimes will be imprisoned for ten years. This punishment also applies to the anti-anti army who was originally the Qing army.

Those who are innocent have been following the army anyway, fighting against the Qing army, and have a good reputation and have been imprisoned for one year. If they intend to join the Huaxia Army, they will be imprisoned for five months, and then sent to the low-level militia to become militiamen. Served as soldiers in the militia at the same level, and the generals were imprisoned for three months, and then directly joined the garrison and became officers of the cold weapon force, promoted and used.

Like Chen Youzheng, after a long talk, he actively moved closer to the Huaxia Army, so he was directly appointed as the commander of a garrison battalion in one place, transferred back to Jiangxi Prefecture, asked Mi Chun to watch him, and assigned him a A batch of personal guards, watching him, protecting him.

A large number of old and weak women and children were detained for a month, and after screening, they were directly resettled to nearby villages and county towns, or sent back to their hometowns.

They will be monitored by the local militia in their hometowns or new villages. After one year, if they have not committed any serious crimes, the surveillance will be lifted, their household registration will be processed, and they will become ordinary people and enjoy the treatment of ordinary people in the Huaxia Army.

Zhang Qiang thought that after Li Guo was dealt with, he would release those relatives back, let their family reunite, and be honestly the people of the Huaxia Army.

He believed that these people were just coerced and did not do much evil. Some people even hated or disliked the Dashun Army, but loved the Huaxia Army. There should be many such people. The Huaxia Army can quickly stabilize this place and restore the people's livelihood here Let the officials sent to start the construction of people's livelihood as soon as possible, so that the Huaxia Army does not need to subsidize them. After all, restoring the local ecology and people's livelihood, fighting, requires a lot of money, manpower, and material resources. The rapid development in the past few years, but one by one, there are many places that need money. Let them be self-reliant and generate more tax revenue for the Huaxia Army is what the Huaxia Army has to do.

But such a process, Zhang Qiang thought, would take at least a year to be fully completed.

The Qing Army, He Tengjiao, and Li Guo's Loyalty Battalion had a lot of trouble in Hubei Province.

The Huaxia Army must be tax-free in the two states of Huzhou, Guangzhou and Hubei for one year, or even one and a half years, two years, or maybe three years, so that the livelihood here can be completely restored.

It took nearly ten years for the Huaxia Army to build Zhejiang Province beyond the strength and appearance of the most prosperous period of Ming Dynasty. Fujian Prefecture is slowly catching up, getting rid of poverty, getting rid of wars, and getting rid of blood transfusions. The rise has made a contribution, and Jiangxi Prefecture is still under construction. Although there are some taxes, Kehe also falls on the local area, and it is also facing the threat of the Nanming Kingdom, and has to bear part of the military expenses of the militia and village guards. A large number of regular army troops are stationed to guard against the Nanming Kingdom and Yongli Daming.

But half of Guangdong, half of Anhui, and half of Suzhou are completely at the border, within the scope of the war, the development of people's livelihood is slow, and the increase in population makes this development even slower. Zhang Qiang plans to transfer the people in these places in the next step Some went to Huzhou, Guangzhou and Hubei Province to make up for the embarrassment of people fleeing due to the war, and not seeing a single person for hundreds or hundreds of miles.

Just when Zhang Qiang was busy for a few days and the Huaxia army was shifting their focus to lay siege to Li Guo's Dashun army, Xiao Fei ran over again.

"Governor, Li Guo's envoy is back again. This time, he proposed that he can accept the reorganization of the Huaxia Army, but some senior officers, generals, and officials of the Zhongzhen Camp hope to be pardoned by the Huaxia Army. Be held accountable and want to continue leading the army."

Chapter 487 I'm Not Here 1

"Fight, what are you talking about, just take them down for me. I tell you not to talk about favors, merits, or politics with the enemy. Just use the army to crush them. It's just a dying struggle. Why did you go?" Zhang Qiang was very angry. Anxious, he was already feeling a little tired after spending countless efforts and energy for a few small forces that couldn't get on the stage.

Gu Yuesheng walked in, just in time to hear Zhang Qiang's impatient words, came up to comfort Zhang Qiang and said, "Governor, calm down, I think General Xiao Fei also wants to make things more satisfactory, after all, those coerced people will We also want to be our people, and don’t commit murder if we can, lest they hold a grudge against us and cannot regain it all at once, and we will have to spend time, energy and painstaking efforts to resolve the hatred in their hearts in the future.”

"There is no hatred. Since you come to serve as soldiers and eat food, you should think that they will lose their lives at all times. Even if they are forced, you should know how to be prepared to be killed. If they dare to hold grudges after the war, they will be sent to hard labor. Go to the camp, anyway, the regions where we develop the economy develop the economy, but these newly occupied regions need a lot of hard labor to sacrifice, so that the Huaxia Army can unify the world as soon as possible in the future, their sacrifice is worth it."

Zhang Qiang didn't want to show Gu Yuesheng's face at all, he just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, and then free up troops to deal with He Tengjiao, the governor of the Yongli Ming Dynasty who was entrenched in the other half of Hubei Province.

Gu Yuesheng had an ugly look on his face, but he couldn't get angry with Zhang Qiang, because he is a king and they are ministers.

The Huaxia Army does not have any masters who humiliate officials to death, but there is no censor system, and there is no censor who is not afraid of death. All major issues are decided by the governor and they are implemented. All civil affairs are discussed by the cabinet. Everyone expresses their opinions, and then the prime minister and deputy prime minister make a decision, and then release it to the cabinet ministers below for implementation.

All military affairs are managed by Wei Wuji, and all major military decisions are put forward by the governor, or executed by himself, or handed over to each branch of the army, or handed over to Wei Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of National Defense, to watch and execute, and the Ministry of Military Intelligence is responsible for external supervision and implementation. , the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for the implementation of internal supervision and implementation.

In short, the governor has the final say on everything.

The governor is the king, the emperor, and he said that you must implement it and not disobey it.

Xiao Fei stood on the side, couldn't help but say a few words, "General Governor, let's talk to them, maybe we can take them down without bloodshed, at least we can make them give up using so many civilians as cannon fodder to consume our army's ammunition , These troops are different from the previous ones, that is, soldiers, and civilian husbands also serve as soldiers, and they have nothing to do if they are captured, and they can't blame others if they are killed.

But these people are real local people. If we kill one less person, we will have less enmity. This will be of great help to Master Gu’s rule and management here in the future. With them, we don’t need to work hard to recruit troops or manage people’s livelihood. up. "

Zhang Qiang waved his hand impatiently, "Let's see, my purpose is very simple, to end the battle here as soon as possible, let this place be turned into a forward starting base, and make preparations for the new Qing army led by Hong Chengchou to enter Henan Prefecture and surround Hong Chengchou in the next step." Prepare."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, within three days, the general will definitely take down the Jingzhou Mansion, and hand over the complete Jingzhou Mansion to the Governor-General, the governor of Hubei Province, and Lord Gu, the governor, to manage it." Xiao Fei issued a military order.

At Xiaodukou, Wangchang Town, Suizhou, Li Guo was wearing a maroon cloak, riding on a variegated war horse, looking back at Qianjiang County, and then to Jingzhou Prefecture.

Gao Yigong next to him was also in the same attire, half a step behind, looking back at the two places with infinite emotion like him.

After a while, Li Guo asked, "Uncle Gao, has the Queen Mother left?"

Li Guo, also known as Li Chixin, is Li Zicheng's nephew. After the defeat of Dashun, he retreated to the south with the first army. He mainly fought against He Tengjiao of the Southern Ming Dynasty. One who was beaten by the Qing army fled into the mountains and disappeared, and the other who was beaten by the Huaxia army retreated to Xiangyang Mansion. They led the defeated generals and were surrounded by the Huaxia army in Jingzhou Mansion.

Gao Yigong is the brother of Li Zicheng's Empress Gao. His seniority is higher than him, and his qualifications are deeper than him. In the camp, Li Guo had a higher status and status than him. Although Gao Yigong was the queen's brother, the Dashun army also called Gao the queen mother because she gave birth to Li Zicheng's son, but the son was still young. The soldiers and horses are dominated by Li Guo.

Li Guo's prestige in the entire Dashun Army is obviously higher, because Li Zicheng intentionally let him inherit his mantle and career when he was alive.

Now Li Guo is the soul of the Loyalty Battalion, the chief general, Gao Yigong can only be subdued and under his leadership in the name of the Gao Brothers, although Gao Yigong's prestige and prestige, military exploits, and status in the Dashun Army are not enough. Not small, but not bigger than Li Guo.

"It has been sent away in a small black awning boat. Five boats form a team. The soldiers pretended to be fishermen walking on the river. From here, they arrived outside Xuancheng and landed at a hidden ferry."

Gao Yigong replied.

"Are you sure you can avoid the Huaxia Army's interrogation?" Li Guo asked calmly.

"Yes, the Huaxia Army just came to Hubei Province, and most of the soldiers are not familiar with the way of life here. We also recruited the nearby people to the area of ​​Jingzhou Prefecture, and sent those who were not taken away to the village. Those who can act and fight are all As cannon fodder soldiers, they were sent to an important defensive area, and they staged a show that seemed to be desperately defending Jingzhou Mansion with live ammunition. Therefore, it was impossible for the Huaxia Army to know what we were doing, and it was impossible to identify the fishing boat walking on the river. Our people played it."

"Then I'm relieved," he nodded.

"How far have our elites gone?" Li Guo asked again.

"General Ma Tengyun led the team to protect the Queen Mother. The first wave of two thousand soldiers from the old battalion has almost landed. Those who are leaving are the elite veterans of my battalion. In the middle of the night, they will be your soldiers, Commander."

After taking a breath, he continued: "Anyway, our former veterans will retreat tonight. The strength is about 1. In the end, it depends on how much can be transported. Big ships cannot be used, only small boats can be used. This will not attract the attention of the enemy. Of course, some weapons and food and supplies will be taken away by large ships at risk, and General Zhang Neng, who is very good at water, will lead his water battalion to protect them, and the number of them is about [-]."

"Get it, fight, huh—" Several knights dressed in the Zhongzhen Battalion of the Dashun Army rushed directly to Li Guo and Gao Yigong, got off their horses, and ran to them, "Report to the commander, the general of the Huaxia Army Xiao Fei agreed to negotiate with us, and the negotiating official is dealing with the Huaxia Army under the guard of the dead, trying to delay the time for the Huaxia Army to attack Jingzhou Mansion."

Chapter 488 I'm Not Here 2

Gao Yigong said with emotion: "I hope he can delay the Huaxia Army for a while longer and buy us more time. If it can reach midnight tomorrow night, the old battalions of the remaining generals can also be transferred. Let's first Go to Xuancheng, and then go back to Xiangyang Mansion to fight against the Huaxia Army with Mr. He or take the mountain road to Nanyang County, and then enter Henan Mansion to continue fighting with the Qing army. I wonder if we can bypass Xiangyang Mansion and cross the Han River again to Sishan Prefecture Kuidong and Hao Yaoqi, Yuan Dizong and Liu Tichun's remaining troops joined forces and took refuge in Wen'an's cultural supervisor."

Li Guo shook his head, and first said to the knights: "Go back to Jingzhou Mansion right away and pass on my military order. Dear generals, hand over the task of defense to other lieutenants, and then they must take their old battalion to Jingzhou Mansion to wait. , and at the same time take over the city defense of Jingzhou Mansion, with General Liu as the general and other people as assistants. If the Huaxia Army attacks Jingzhou Mansion, it must be resisted first, and it must last at least three days to buy time for the main force to shift. After three days, come here Cross the river and go north, I will wait for them in Nanyang."

Gao Yigong added: "If the situation changes, they can break through on their own and find another way to Nanyang Mansion." He turned his head and glanced at Li Guo, wondering why he chose the border between the Qing army and Lu Guohong Chengchou's Qing army It is definitely not as important as taking a large army into the mountains of Sishan Prefecture, at least the strength of the Qing army there is quite weak now.

The Qing army is now in conflict, and even they know it. The confrontation between the brothers Hauge and Shunzhi will be an earth-shattering battle. It is impossible to end the curtain if the heir to the throne is not determined.

The cavalry who sent the order went away, Li Guo said to Gao Yigong: "Get ready, you take your old battalion and go first, fast, the Huaxia army is too powerful, we can't beat it, I never thought about it from the beginning To defeat the Huaxia Army, first abandon the old and weak, women and children to Chen Youzheng, and then give him some newly recruited soldiers who have followed us for a short time. I just want him to hold the Huaxia Army back for us. Preparation time, but still not enough time.

The Huaxia Army is simply an elite army that does not know how tired it is. In less than a few days, we have already surrounded us like iron barrels. If there is no such waterway as the Han River, we might not be able to survive this time. It is about to fight to the death with his Huaxia Army.

Alas, sometimes I would like to see what kind of hero it is that turned an insurgent army into a huge monster-like colossus that even the Qing army was afraid of within ten years, but we don't have that It's time, politically, he is our enemy. If he is in Longwu Nanming, maybe we still have the possibility to cooperate, but they have grown into the rebels of a country that can shake the country like we used to, and in the future they can only be Enemy gone.Either you die or I live. In the matter of the national system, brothers and sons will turn their faces and kill each other... "

"Then——, take care, Commander, I will wait for you with the Queen Mother in Nanyang." Gao Yigong clasped his fists and said to Li Guo.

"Let's go, Uncle Gao," he waved.

The night is dark, all parties have their own considerations, all parties have their own actions, and all parties have their own paths. In Xiangyang Mansion, He Tengjiao, the governor of Yongli Daming, a bachelor, is good at escaping and winning over A talented person who is good at letting others serve as cannon fodder for him. Governor He Tengjiao, who has dealt with the Qing army for more than ten years and dragged the Qing army to death, already has a premonition that his days are numbered.

He Tengjiao was walking around in his mansion, there were no servants beside him, only a few generals and officials he trusted, as well as an aide and a master.
