The leading troops of the Ming army continued their offensive, and the soldiers and horses that followed began to collect prisoners of war.
The Qing army had a large number of prisoners of war, but the Ming army handled them very simply and roughly!
They were not tied up with ropes or shackles on them.
Even their weapons were not taken away!
Just cut off their braids, that's all.
The method is very simple and crude, but it is definitely very effective.
In this battle, Lu Wenji showed ruthlessness when he ordered his troops to kill the deserters and route them.
Zhu Hongyu even dared to guarantee that even if these surrendered Qing soldiers who had their pigtails cut off could escape back, they would not end up well.
After these soldiers who surrendered from the Qing army had their pigtails cut off, if they wanted to survive, they had no choice but to follow the Ming Dynasty to the end!
In fact, these Qing soldiers had little resistance to changing their clothes and working for the Ming Dynasty again.
Isn’t that what being a soldier is?
Whose food you eat, whose salary you take, you will work your life for!
The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty made no difference to them!
Besides, most of these green soldiers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty were also soldiers from the Ming Guards.
After the Qing army entered the south of the Yangtze River, they betrayed their old employer and jumped ship to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now that their old employer is back, they will switch jobs and continue working there. Is there any problem?
It's true that I don't look good on the face, but that's all.
Is it because the food and wages issued by Ming Dynasty are no longer good? Or is it that the head on the neck is no longer wanted?
They will carry it to the end only when they are full and full!
Anyway, that’s what Jia Qijin thinks!
A group of prisoners of war huddled in the trench, with shivering expressions on their faces.
With the end of the Ming army's offensive, the fighting temporarily stopped.
The Qing army lost most of its fortifications on the beach, and a large number of troops either died in battle or surrendered.
Unable to continue counterattack and land on the Ming army!
The landing Ming army was also temporarily unable to continue the attack due to successive hard battles and charges.
Both sides need repairs, so the fighting is temporarily suspended.
After the war stopped, Ming Dynasty had enough energy to deal with prisoners of war like Jia Qijin.
Looking at the basket of money placed in front of him and others, and the basket of big white steamed buns that looked very much like women's stuff...
Smelling the aroma of steamed buns in the air, Jia Qijin couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
White flour steamed buns, how long has it been since he had white flour steamed buns?
He can't even remember it himself!
Normally in the army, the Qing government would be reluctant to give the bulky soldiers such poor steamed buns to eat, so it would be nice to have some miscellaneous grains.
At this moment, an officer of the Ming Army stood in front of all of them, looked around, and spoke.
"His Royal Highness, Jian Guo, has a decree: Surrender without killing!"
"So, you can relax, His Royal Highness the Governor has made it clear that if I don't kill you, I won't kill you!"
Just when all the Qing army prisoners of war looked happy, the Ming army officer spoke again.
"It's just that you are shameless and immoral, betrayed the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to the Qing Tartars, and became traitors to the country!"
"Now that I have repented and surrendered, although I can escape the death penalty, I cannot escape the living penalty!"
"The young man must be thrown into a labor camp according to his fault and must do hard labor for a certain period of time to atone for his sins!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many Qing soldiers who surrendered changed.
"This...this! This is hard labor!"
"No, I don't want to do hard labor. It's better to die happily than to do hard labor!"
"Yes, no hard labor, no hard labor! I want to go home!"
"..."
Jia Qijin squatted in the crowd with a bitter look on his face.
To do hard labor, doesn't it mean that you have to work without enough food every day, and you don't get to see your children? Even if you make the slightest mistake or are lazy, you will be beaten to death?
That’s not how people live at all!
He was really a little scared!
Want to resist?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jia Qijin saw the Ming soldiers with upright postures, fierce expressions and murderous intent all around him.
And those bayonets flashing with cold light...
In an instant, as soon as this bold idea came up, he killed it himself.
Damn it, isn’t it good to be alive?
No matter how hard the hard labor is, it is better than falling on your head.
Just as there was a commotion in the crowd, the Ming Army officer spoke again.
"However, His Royal Highness, the Supervisor, remembers that you and others voluntarily surrendered before the battle, and still has loyalty and compassion in his heart, and is ready to give you and others a chance to be exempted from hard labor..."
The faces of the surrendered soldiers of the Qing army changed, and they all spoke.
"what chance?"
"Are you asking us to do something?"
"Anything is possible!"
"..."
The officer of the Ming Army spoke.
"His Royal Highness the Governor has a decree!"
"Those who defect before the formation will be exempted from all past culpability, but if there are any gains, they will be credited with merit and be given money and land."
"Here is the money, here is the chance of getting away with it!"
"It depends on whether you can grasp it!"
As he spoke, the Ming army officer kicked down the bamboo basket full of copper coins next to him.
The copper coins and silver coins in the frame were scattered all over the floor!
Ming Jun Junguang looked around with burning eyes, and then spoke.
"Please prick up your fucking ears and listen!"
"Have you seen these money? Copper coins, silver coins, they are all fucking prepared for you!"
"As long as you can achieve military exploits, the money will be yours!"
"..."
Jia Qijin stared at the copper and silver coins scattered on the ground with red eyes, and his breathing became quite heavy.
Panting heavily!
To be honest, he wants this money!
…
The truce between the two sides lasted less than half an hour before the fighting started again.
After resting for a while, the barrel of the Ming naval gun finished cooling down and began to fire again!
With the support of naval and artillery groups, the Ming army took the initiative to launch an attack.
Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, a scene appeared on the battlefield that made Lu Wenji want to vomit blood.
The Ming army was filled with darkness, shouting to kill!
However, these Ming troops who came to kill were all uniforms of the Qing army's green camp.
If there is any difference between these Ming and Qing army green camps, it is that they do not have braids!
The Ming army's offensive was overwhelming. Under the pressure of the supervising team and the stimulation of a large amount of gold and silver, these green soldiers showed good combat effectiveness.
It’s not just the Qing army that knows how to use the command team, the Ming army can also use it!
Rows of musketeers finished reloading, formed a neat formation, marched forward, and followed the charging green battalion soldiers to hold the formation.
If the green soldiers in front dare to retreat without orders, what awaits them will be neat rows of rifles.
Even the naval artillery group that is currently providing sufficient fire cover for them to attack the Qing army's fortifications will change their targets.
Beat them to death!
Listen to the roar of a continuous line of heavy artillery.
Jia Qijin, who was still unsure at first, suddenly wasn't afraid anymore!
In people's perception of this era, the power of artillery has been greatly exaggerated.
It was even exaggerated to the extent that everyone thought the artillery was invincible!
In this era, listening to the roar of one's own heavy artillery, no matter how timid a soldier is, can muster the courage to fight the enemy.
"kill!"
"Kill the Hulu and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
On the front line of the battlefield, the Qing army and the Ming army collided.
But those fighting together were all Green Camp soldiers.
On the battlefield, there were constant sounds of fighting, but overall, it was the Ming army that was suppressing the Qing army.
After all, the fire support that Ming Dynasty's naval gun group can provide is no joke!
You know, in terms of the firepower of the Ming Dynasty's naval gun group, it can be regarded as one of the best heavy artillery groups in the world!
