The prefectures and counties that were not captured were also fortified and defended the city, fearing that spies would sneak in. At this time, no more refugees would be admitted.
Some people are timid and afraid of death, fearing that they will be severely punished if caught by Yangxin's defenders, but what's the point of escaping? Most of them will starve to death or freeze to death on the road. Even so, they will be forced to attack Yangxin by the soldiers.
Nearly half of the civilians were scattered, but more than half of them did not escape, or they escaped and then came back, leaving themselves to fate and whatever they could do.
There were so many captured civilian women that they were all imprisoned directly in the Zhulongpo camp outside the city.
Lin Fu, surrounded by everyone, first went to the Zhulongpo camp to inspect the civilians imprisoned in the camp.
This prison camp is located in the northeast corner of Zhulongpo, just north of Yangxin City. It has no other structures except trench walls and a few simple shelters. Sixty-seven thousand civilians are concentrated here, dressed in rags or
In the camp where they were squatting or sitting, the cold wind blew, and they just huddled together to keep warm. They were cold and hungry, shivering and resigned to their fate.
After opening the camp, a large number of armored soldiers went in to drive them away, suppressed the captured civilians and placed strict security on them. An open space was cleared. Lin Fu, Yuan Jianhai, Yuan Yan, Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others walked in. The guards were also very nervous.
, we still don’t know how many rebels are mixed among the civilians, and the screening work has not yet begun.
"They are so pitiful." Yuan Yan looked at the captured civilians in the camp who were suppressed and squatted on the ground and did not dare to stand up. Seeing their trembling and frightened expressions, she remembered her panic when she escaped from Jinan City.
It seems like a nightmare that I can never get rid of in my lifetime.
"Little princess, not everyone deserves sympathy. These are untouchables who deserve to be killed. It would not be a pity even if Master Lin chopped off their heads. If they hadn't transported grain and grass to the soldiers and built trenches,
How could the captive soldiers attack Yangxin by making war tools, and how could the Yangxin defenders have so many casualties?" Zuo Tanggui became active again, and he educated the little princess Yuan Yan in a serious manner. Even if he said the wrong thing at this time, at least he didn't have to.
Like Ye Youren, he retaliated against Lin Fu and rushed to the top of the city to defend the city. Thinking of this colleague who chopped off Lin Fu's head at the top of the city to enforce military law, Zuotang Guixin felt both fear and hatred for Lin Fu.
Yuan Yan didn't take Zuo Tanggui's words seriously and looked at Lin Fu.
Lin Fu didn't say anything, looked back at Yuan Yan and smiled.
These civilians were at fault for helping the soldiers attack Yangxin and aggravating the casualties of the Yangxin defenders. For ordinary people, they had to pay land taxes and ding taxes to survive, and were oppressed and exploited by officials and gentry. They survived without receiving any benefits from the court.
How can we expect them to die for the Dai Viet Dynasty?
This is not a question of liquidation after the war. The key is that the soldiers robbed as many as 300,000 to 400,000 Dingkou this time. If these civilians are severely liquidated, or even sentenced to death, it will only cause the 300,000 to 400,000 people to be robbed.
Dingkou was determined to follow Donglu.
Lin Fu didn't know what the final decision of the court would be, but some officials were weak in resisting and were very good at liquidating ordinary people. He was very familiar with this situation. More importantly, it involved the land issue. To liquidate one person,
You can deprive one person of his land, not to mention those court officials who claim to be noble, the local squires will also be very active in the liquidation. Perhaps the officials and squires were more active and more harmful than these common people when they surrendered to the Eastern captives.
Big, but they also have more ways to exonerate themselves.
"I know that most of you are under coercion. If someone puts a knife to my neck, I will do something against my will." Lin Fu asked the guards in front of him to step aside.
He directly shouted to the civilians in the village who were holding captives, "No one will willingly transport food to the captors and beat their own countrymen and relatives. I know the pain in your heart, and neither the imperial court nor the government will pursue your crime."
The captors are about to retreat. You can stay here for a while and wait for your return home. If you don’t have enough clothes to carry the cold, you have to report to the guards. Although Yang Xin doesn’t have any extra clothes, he can still peel some off the dead body. I hope
Don't mind, taboo. Although the food you eat will not be very good, I am here to give it to you to ensure that you will not starve to death... Now there is a problem. I know that some rebels and some soldiers will take off their armor.
They pretend to be ordinary people and hide among you. They are also the executioners who murder your relatives and your fellow villagers. They are also the executioners who force you to kill your own relatives and fellow townsmen. If you find suspicious strangers around you, you must take the initiative to tell the guards. Once
It is proven that they are captives and rebels, and those who report them are not only innocent, but also meritorious..."
The captured civilians who were suppressed by the bullets of a large number of armored soldiers were shocked and confused. They didn't know whether it was better to believe Lin Fu's words or to continue to remain silent. Some people were even worried about what they would do if the captured soldiers came back and killed them again.
Lin Fu said to Zhao Qingshan, who was in charge of the Zhulongpo garrison: "Captured civilians are not allowed to be registered, and their villagers are not allowed to be questioned. We must treat civilians, rebels, rebel military attaches, and captive soldiers differently. Confirm that there are no problems with the civilians.
, you can force them to do some chores, help organize the camp, clean up the battlefield, and transport supplies, which can be regarded as an opportunity for them to prove their merits. They should not be rough in doing things, and they must absolutely prohibit the people below from abusing prisoners! There must be a dedicated person responsible for the interrogation work, it has nothing to do with it.
People who participate in interrogations and torture prisoners must be severely punished and must not be tolerated. You must remember: an elite division that has fought a hundred battles is forged with iron-like discipline, not cruelty and inhumanity."
After leaving the camp where the captured civilian husbands were detained, Lin Fu went to inspect the Zhulongpo camp situation.
In fact, without Lin Fu's orders, the Jinzhong Army and Shao Wu Army followed the Jiangdong Left Army to camp at Zhulongpo, and also set up a healing camp on Zhulongpo.
The casualties suffered by the defenders were heavy, but relatively speaking, Min Yong and the defenders of Yuanyang Xin, who had no combat experience, suffered a greater proportion of casualties, accounting for more than three-quarters of the more than 3,000 casualties in the defenders. On the one hand, Min Yong and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
Yuan Yangxin's defenders lacked courage and lacked combat experience on the one hand; the old soldiers could better protect themselves on the battlefield and cooperate with their colleagues to kill the enemy.
On the other hand, Shao Wujun, who went out of the city to counterattack last night, was furious. In the end, his array could not be guaranteed. There were some undue casualties in chasing down the defeated troops who had almost no resistance. When they fled to Yangxin, Shao Wujun
There are more than 1,000 men, and they will be strengthened to make up for the full strength of 1,200 men. At this time, only 600 men can still carry weapons and continue fighting. The reduction ratio of Jinzhong Army is much better than that of Shaowu Army. 300 men have entered the city.
So far, there are still nearly two hundred people who have maintained their combat capabilities, and the Jiangdong Left Army has reduced its numbers by almost the same ratio.
The reinforcements led by Zhou Pu and Zhao Qingshan last night were mainly to participate in the rout, and there were almost no casualties. The biggest reason for the attrition was that there were many people walking in the snow at night.
Lin Fu inspected the healing camp and ordered the army doctors to use enough medicine for the wounded, keep up with nutrition, and try to save everyone. These wounded soldiers are not only heroic killers in battle, but healing their injuries is a precious asset, even if
Those who are too disabled to return to the team will not be abandoned by Lin Fu.
It is necessary to give the generals the honor of fighting bravely, to give them a sense of belonging, and not to make them feel that they may be abandoned even if they fight bravely. Although Jiyunshe has to pay more to achieve this, it is
It must be done.
Things after the war seemed to be always more complicated than before the war. Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang, and Sun Shangwang were all at the mouth of the Jinhai vortex. Zhou Pu, Zhao Qingshan, and Ning Zechen were not good at such trivial matters with greater political significance.
, Lin Fu could only bite the bullet on his own.
After Lin Fu inspected the treatment camp, Zhao Qingshan sent someone to report that his speech just now had an effect. The civilians began to report the hidden rebels and captives, and now more than ten people have been uncovered.
Dispelling worries and appeasing people is a technical job, Lin Fu sighed secretly. They don't know the situation on the Jinhai side yet, otherwise they would have to move Lin Mengde over and it would be easier for him.
*************
The captured civilians were all imprisoned outside the city. Last night, nearly 1,200 surrendered soldiers were captured at the Guyuan battlefield in the northwest of Yangxin City. Including the previous captures, there were almost 1,400 surrendered soldiers and were detained in several places in the city.
The most important one is the county prison.
Last night, 567 Japanese soldiers were directly killed on the Guyuan battlefield. Adding in the previous and last night's battle results in the city, this city defense battle still achieved the record of killing more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, even if they were not killed or captured.
The captured rebels and Yangxin's battle to defend the city can also be called brilliant.
Lin Fu, surrounded by people, came to the yard in front of the county prison.
He squinted at the cold and dark gate of the county prison. Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and other Shao Wujun generals were looking at him. Lin Fu stood on the ground for a while and ordered: "Bring out all the military attachés above the rank and file of the surrendered troops."
!”
"Master Lin, do you still remember me? The younger one is Sheng Tianxi, the captain of Zhaowu School in Liangzhe Admiral's Mansion. In the Admiral's Mansion in Jinan, I even toasted to Master Lin." Sheng Tianxi put on the heavy shackles and handed over to the prisoner.
When he came to the yard, he saw Lin Fu and others waiting in the yard for a long time. He wanted to throw himself at Lin Fu's feet to plead for mercy, but the guards held him firmly in place. He then lay down and kowtowed to Lin Fu.
He kowtowed continuously, his forehead was knocked on the cold ground without stopping, and the blood did not stop. He confessed with tears and snot, "It was Zhao Jinlong who wanted to defect to Donglu, so he asked his subordinates to hold swords between me, Colonel Zhou, and Sun."
The school captain's neck gave up the south gate of Jinan. I refused to betray Jinan City to my death. I wished I could kill myself on the spot. It was Zhao Jinlong who tied me up with a hemp rope. I couldn't even die. I heard that School Captain Sun
He is already dead. Later, that bastard Zhou Zhizhong was confused by Zhao Jinlong and decided to surrender to Donglu, but I was not willing to surrender to the enemy. I led troops to attack the city, not really to attack the city. I was born as a Dai Viet.
Death is Dai Viet's ghost. Even if you die, you must do something meaningful to Dai Viet. I led the troops to attack because I wanted to enter the city and take refuge with Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin, when you gave the order, I did not hesitate at all when killing the soldiers.
?Master Lin, you have to make the decision for me! I am not willing to surrender to the bandits! I am really not willing to surrender to the bandits! Master Lin makes the decision for me, and I am willing to work as a cow and a horse for Master Lin from now on!"
Sheng Tianxi's tears and nose ran down together. He knew that the only person who could decide his fate was not others, but Lin Fu in front of him. Lin Fu could change his forced surrender last night into actively leading troops to kill the prisoners anyway with a stroke of his pen.
If you perform well in defending the city, you will naturally be exempted from the death penalty, and maybe you can keep your official position.
"Stand up first. I know what you have done." Lin Fu knelt down, patted Sheng Tianxi on the shoulder, looked at his tearful face with a kind attitude, and asked, "Rebellion and surrender of Zhejiang soldiers
Are all the captured military attachés here? Are there any left behind?"
Sheng Tianxi only hoped to save the dog's life, and was eager to show his merit in front of Lin Fu. He immediately pointed out that among the three military attaches hidden among the ordinary soldiers, one of them was the deputy battalion commander of the Linqing garrison.
Most of the soldiers who rebelled would be sent to the army in the end, and their nephews might also be sent to the army. The garrison would be more dangerous and difficult, but most of them would not be killed directly. Military attaches and generals would have to spend a lot of money to save their lives.
After many twists and turns, the senior generals still wanted to see if there was anyone in the court who could speak for them, but now some superficial crimes were inevitable. Pretending to be an ordinary soldier would save them a lot of suffering.
The three rebel military attaches were immediately pulled out of the prison.
Lin Fu squinted at the more than 40 rebel military attachés, squinted at the sky for a while, and then slowly said: "The military merits are insufficient, and someone Lin wants to use your heads as a favor, I'm sorry to you all!
" He waved his hand and ordered the rebellious military attachés and generals to be escorted out and tortured.
