The performance of Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui this time was so disappointing. Now that so many defeated soldiers and their families have been gathered, to be honest, no one is interested.
In fact, it is difficult for the Northern Expeditionary Army to expand any further, and any further expansion will cause indigestion.
"What do you think?" Zhu Yihai asked.
"If you ask me, these are cowardly soldiers. They don't want any of them. There are more than 50,000 people. They haven't fired an arrow. They were so frightened that the camp collapsed. It's a wonder in the world. Why do you want such soldiers? Just kill them. All weapons and equipment are confiscated, and then you can do whatever you have to do." Zhang Mingzhen said bluntly.
Academician Shen Chenquan suggested that so many people must be properly accommodated and cannot be left alone.
"How to manage? There are tens of thousands of people. The total number is as many as our Northern Expeditionary Army. If we take him with us, wouldn't it be a huge burden? This is just food. How much do we need to eat in a day?"
Xu Shiqi stroked his beard, "Didn't His Highness say that he wanted to open up base areas in the inland mountainous areas of Sanwu's lakes and islands? I think we can disarm these soldiers who brought their families with them and return them to the fields, and let them disperse on the islands in Taihu Lake. There are areas in the mountainous areas for farming. You can also mine and build workshops, build weapons and equipment, build warships, etc."
"It's not easy for these people to come all the way south. They bring their families with them, all of whom are refugees. Just because they refuse to surrender and still protect the Ming Dynasty, they cannot be abandoned casually. Otherwise, how will the world be appeased in the future?"
It was difficult for Zhang Minzhen to refute what the old bachelor said.
Zhu Yihai also nodded when he heard this, "In this way, a group of Huang Wu's two tribes who are skilled in martial arts, bows and horses will be selected to add to the eight towns of the imperial camp, and then ten thousand people will be selected and organized into a regiment to practice local bravery, and the rest will Either they cultivate the fields, or they mine and manufacture for the workers."
"We can also send some people back to eastern Zhejiang for resettlement."
"We must do this now and resettle these people as soon as possible, otherwise the Tatars will come and they will drag us down."
After discussing for a while, the meeting ended.
Zhu Yihai summoned Wu Zhikui.
When Wu Zhikui came in, he bowed down respectfully, and Zhu Yihai stretched out his hand to support him.
"General Wu, I have a mission for you."
"Your Highness, but there is something wrong, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." After experiencing this great defeat, Wu Zhikui, who was once known as a Confucian general, was ashamed and ashamed, especially after seeing the Northern Expedition led by Lu Jianguo. How he easily captured the city of Suzhou, how he swept the surrounding areas like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and how he annihilated the Fubiao elite who were stubbornly resisting in just half a day, made him even more impressed.
Compare this to the dandy King Yiyang of Chongming, who made judgments from above. This is the true wise king.
"This task requires you to shave your head, are you willing?"
Wu Zhikui was stunned.
After half a day, he finally understood the mission given to him by Zhu Yihai, which actually asked him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it was a fake surrender. Zhu Yihai planned to gather up the defeated troops of Huang and Wu, select tens of thousands of people to form a regiment to practice rural bravery, and then They were led by Wu Zhikui, who then led these soldiers to shave their heads and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
"Surrender to Zhejiang pacifier Yan Wogong?"
"Well, surrender to him."
······
Songjiang Prefecture, Huating County.
Bolo once again passed through this prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River, feeling that it was much bleaker than the last time he went south. Yan Ming, the son of Duke Yan, stayed behind in Songjiang City. He explained to Bolo the current situation in Songjiang.
It is said that the last time Shen Youlong and other Ming Dynasty veterans rebelled, their instigation threatened many people. Afterwards, they launched a brutal purge of the wealthy gentry and wealthy households in Songjiang Prefecture who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. They killed many people and ransacked many homes, so now the shops cannot be opened. The market is deserted and there is no one on the street.
Duke Yan led Li Yuchun and others to quell the rebellion. Many rebels fled in all directions, and many people in the city also fled.
Bolo was very satisfied after hearing the explanation. He didn't care how many wealthy gentrymen who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were killed by the rebels. They were all Han people anyway, and he didn't care whether it was very desolate now. What he cared more about was that there were no rebels in Songjiang anymore. Songjiang Prefecture returned to Qing control, and that was enough.
As for the rest, who cares.
Commander-in-Chief Tong Yangjia has been observing Songjiang Fucheng, trying to find evidence of Yan Woggong's fraud, but whether it was a visit or an inquiry, the information obtained showed that there had indeed just been a major rebellion here, and Yan Woggong and others were peaceful. The rebellion broke out very quickly and severely damaged the rebels.
The treasury is empty and the city is deserted, but this does not affect the great achievements of Yan Wo Ging Chao.
Under Yan Ming's introduction, Boluo met Songjiang Lieutenant General Shen Pan, who had returned from the uprising. He was very satisfied with this repeated villain who started out as a water pirate.
The worse the family background, the more he likes it, because such talents will not be as smelly and tough as those old people and young people from the Ming Dynasty, and will not shout about sacrificing their lives to revolt to become benevolent, and so on. As long as it is beneficial, they will work towards it. They will follow whoever is stronger. People like this who have no bottom line of principles are the best to take advantage of.
Patting Shen Pan's newly shaved forehead, Boluo conferred on him the title of registered chief soldier and deputy chief soldier, and held Songjiang.
"Do a good job and wipe out more rebels and rebels. Report their heads to receive rewards in exchange for your merits!"
"Slave, I will." Shen Pan said with a flattering look on his face.
In the end, Bolo had a serious face and said, "Not everyone can be a slave. You haven't joined the banner and you are not qualified to call yourself a slave. Work hard and make some achievements. When the time comes, Ben Beile will personally ask the court to grant you the banner." .”
"How much hair has Songjiang shaved off now?"
"My slave has now shaved the heads of all the people in the city, including the Taoist priests."
Bo Luo was startled, "The Taoist priest also shaved his head? You are really neat in doing things, hahaha, Taoist priests actually don't need to shave, so no one resists shaving their hair?"
"Yes, there are many people who don't care about life and death. The imperial court issued a decree saying that they should keep their hair or not, and they should keep their hair or not. As a result, some stubborn people said they would rather die than shave, so the humble position fulfilled them. If they don't shave, they will have their heads chopped off. When Baile entered the city, he should have seen a Jingguan outside the city. It was the heads of those fierce species that were chopped off. There were more than 800 heads piled up to build a Jingguan."
"Oh, so that's where the mound of dirt came from."
Shen Pan said flatteringly, "I cut off these stubborn people in my humble position, and then had their heads shaved. Even if they died, I had to shave them. After they were shaved, they were piled with earth seals into a jingguan and stood outside the city." Shock those dog bones."
Bolo laughed at this.
What he didn't know was that the Jingguan that Shen Pan was talking about was indeed there, but it was not the Han people who refused to shave their heads, but the traitors who led the party and had their heads chopped off and piled there after being suppressed.
"In fact, humble positions are just based on strict and appeasing orders."
Bo Luo called over Yan Ming, the son of Duke Yan, and said, "Your father worked hard for the imperial court and was rewarded. I think you are also a talented person, and you can manage well if you stay in Su Song. I will appoint you to act as the magistrate of Songjiang and request orders from the imperial court on my behalf." When the time comes, you will be officially appointed as an official. Do your best, and the court will not mistreat a loyal person."
Yan Ming also nodded and bowed, full of flattery, which made Bolo feel very comfortable. On the other hand, Tong Yangjia kept frowning, always feeling that there was something wrong, but he couldn't find it for a while.
At this time, Yan Wogong had already arrived near Suzhou. Wu Zhikui, who had been ordered to shave his head, brought more than a dozen veteran generals to the coalition camp of Li Yuchun and Zheng Jiwu, and knelt down to the comfort envoy Yan Wugong to surrender.
"He led his troops of 12,000 men to beg for surrender to Duke Yan, requesting to join us in the Qing Dynasty and serve the Qing Dynasty. Please take pity on Duke Yan and accept us."
Yan Wogong came out with Li Yuchun, Zheng Jiwu and more than a dozen generals.
"Hey, General Wu knows his mistakes and can correct them. There is no great virtue. Please get up quickly and follow me into the camp. Let's drink three glasses of wine and congratulate you on your return!"
