After saying that, he knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed several times to Lu Maode.
Then, he got up and left!
When Lu Maode saw this, he didn't take it seriously. He picked up an oil lamp at hand and threw it on the wall filled with kerosene.
With a bang, the fire spread quickly and ignited the firewood piled in the lobby.
Lu Maode paid no attention to the growing fire around him, sat back on the chair, beat the rhythm with his hands, and sang the song "Dingjun Mountain".
When his son was young, he loved to pester him every day and ask him to sing songs to him!
The song that Lu Maode sings most often is this section of "Dingjun Mountain".
"At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were three divisions, and the war was restless. He led his men and horses to resist Cao's soldiers, and he wanted to settle the world."
"Bashu is stable and relies on Jingxiang. It unites with Wu and resists Cao to guard the border. A single heart supports the country and reverses the Han Dynasty and the Jin family."
"..."
The music is melodious and melodious, and accompanied by the crackling sound of burning wood, it actually sounds exceptionally beautiful.
Outside, the shouts of killing are getting closer and closer!
However, the fire at the governor's office is getting bigger and bigger.
Wow!
Finally, the load-bearing pillars of the house were burned out, and the heavy roof collapsed.
In the fire, the figure singing with a melodious voice was instantly submerged in the ruins.
As the governor's office collapsed in the fire, the remaining governor's soldiers also lost the courage to resist to the end and began to surrender in large areas.
A large number of Ming troops began to enter the city and took control of key places in the city, such as granaries, treasury, arsenal and other places.
And began to tidy up the order in the city, put up the notice of peace and security, and crack down on the green-skinned gangsters who fished in troubled waters!
The wealthy gentry in the city also sent manpower to help the Ming army take over Guilin City.
Liu Shantai hasn't entered the city yet, but is standing on a hill outside Guilin, looking in the direction of Guilin.
Beside him, Zhang Xiushan, Wen Xu and others stood respectfully.
Liu Shantai looked away from the Guilin City in the distance and said in a gentle tone.
"This general will remember the merits of these few in my heart!"
"When the army reports its victory to the imperial court, your names and surnames will also appear in front of His Highness the Supervisor."
After hearing this, everyone spoke excitedly.
"We understand!"
"Thank you for the promotion, General!"
Wen Xu, who fought fiercely on the battlefield last night and showed great bravery, actually seemed a little reserved in front of Liu Shantai.
To have one's name mentioned in the Heavens is a very honorable thing for the warriors of this era.
Looking at Liu Shantai standing in front of him, Wen Xu boldly asked.
"Uncle, will I be able to continue to lead troops and fight on the battlefield in the future, so as to contribute to the Ming Dynasty's drive to drive out the Tartars and restore China?"
He is still young now, and he doesn't want to be a rich and idle man for the rest of his life!
I still want to continue fighting on the battlefield for fame and fortune!
Seeing Wen Xu's cautious look, Liu Shantai didn't put on any airs and said very gently.
"Of course it's okay!"
"The Ming Dynasty wants to expedition to the north to regain its homeland, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and reproduce the great achievements of Emperor Taizu!"
"It's the right time to employ people!"
"As long as you surrender with the determination to fight against the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will never refuse!"
"Now that the general has returned, it is a great achievement. I think His Highness will not hesitate to reward him. As long as the general can go to the military academy for a period of time, he can continue to lead the army after he comes out!"
"During this period of further training, the general's military rank and rank will be retained!"
"After graduating from the military academy, they will all be on the same level, or promoted and transferred!"
When Wen Xu heard this, although his mood was still a little low, he still nodded and said.
"The general understands!"
He knew that Ming Dynasty was dismantling their military power.
Mountain tops are not allowed to appear in the army, or even further, semi-independent warlords are not allowed to exist.
But now that the matter has come to this, it is too late for Wen Xu and others to regret.
We can only pray that the Ming Dynasty Supervisor will keep his word and will not leave them idle after depriving them of their military power.
Zhu Hongyu knows how to compromise, but he also knows that some things can be compromised, but some things must not be compromised.
He could choose to compromise with the landlords and gentry in terms of local political structure, exchange temporary compromises with them for their support, and quickly ensure his control over the local area.
This further ensured the stability of the army's rear and the imperial court's ability to carry out the most basic conscription and tax collection.
What is this called?
This is called fucking "Dan Bo"!
The most fundamental reason is that these landlords and gentry have put down their swords when they picked up their pens.
Although Zhu Hongyu encourages local governments to set up team training, the quality of those team training is ultimately limited.
Fighting is out of the question!
At most, they were fighting in groups, or working as a civilian husband, responsible for logistics and transportation during the war.
After all, the threat is limited!
However, those Green Camp soldiers who surrendered in an organized manner were different.
Most of these green soldiers have war experience, have the most basic level of organization, hold knife handles in their hands, and often kill people with blood.
If the Green Camp soldiers start causing trouble, they will pose a much greater threat than the militia.
Must be broken up and reorganized!
Zhu Hongyu would never give in on military power just for the sake of a group of defeated generals!
If anyone surrenders, the army must be disbanded and reorganized, and junior officers must be re-promoted or transferred from the old army.
Senior generals must go to military academies for further training!
These are the rules!
Because Zhu Hongyu must ensure his absolute control over the army.
…
The news that Guilin City changed hands spread like it had wings!
It spread very quickly throughout Guangxi!
The local state capitals in Guangxi sent letters of surrender to Guilin one after another, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hongyu also began to distribute letters of appointment on a large scale.
No matter who holds the power, at least the power structure must be established first.
Let’s talk about the next thing later!
Because he understands that no matter how dark and backward order is, it is better than disorder!
No doubt about this!
The action of the Ming court, apart from distributing letters of appointment, was to order the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army to prepare for the establishment of the Guilin Recruit Camp and prepare to recruit troops in Guilin.
Another more important point is to send tax officials to Guangxi to prepare for tax collection and local tax collection.
…
Guilin fell, and the influence of changes in Guangxi continued to spread!
The Qing court was shocked again!
How long does it take!
Both Guangdong and Guangxi were captured by the Ming Dynasty!
In Hunan, which is close to Guangxi, the state capitals of Yunnan and Guizhou responded accordingly and prepared their troops to prepare for the Ming army's attack.
An urgent letter was sent all the way to the capital in the north at a speed of eight hundred miles!
…
Wu Sangui, who was still working hard in Kunming, received the news that Guilin changed hands and Guangxi changed its flag, and the expression on his face was moved.
He once again clearly realized that the Qing Dynasty's power in the south was deeply shaken!
Liu Xuanchu on the side spoke to persuade.
"Your Majesty, if you can't do anything right now, when will you wait?"
"Now that Guangxi has changed hands, Hunan's military strength is also being restrained by the Ming Dynasty, and Jiangxi and Jiangnan are in chaos."
"The Qing court no longer has many mobile troops in the entire south!"
"If Your Majesty takes action now, great things will happen!"
Wu Sangui's current advantage is huge, and the three southwestern provinces are basically his voice.
In addition, the main force of the Qing army at this time was attracted by the Ming army and the Jingnan army!
As long as Wu Sangui raises his troops, no one will be able to stop his expansion in a short period of time.
