Chapter Seventy-Four: Zhanjiangdu Immigrants Go South

This was the case with most armies in ancient times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs long as the Lord is killed, then this army is almost finished.

Yu Wenhua is not the main general of the Xiaoguo army. It's just that he has a noble status, but in the current situation, he is more of a general than the main general. Therefore, with his death, the morale of these cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army suddenly plummeted. They looked at the soldiers of Li Qinjun who were still waiting for them, felt the transformation of the momentum of these novices after the continuous increase, and then looked at the dim city gate behind them, but they had no confidence in whether they could escape at all.

"Descend to avoid death!" Li Qin shouted loudly.

The victory was decided, and he didn't want to do more slaughter.

This was great news for these still hesitant cavalrymen. They let out a sigh of relief, and as soon as their hands let go, their weapons falling into the dust. They rolled over and dismounted, and fell to their knees, bowing their heads deeply in the dirt moistened with blood and flesh.

After Li Qin had his soldiers come forward and drive these surrenderers to the side of the barracks, and pointed them at them with three hundred musketeers and a dry of heavy firepower, so that they would not dare to act rashly, he ordered the head of Yu Wenhua and to pass on to the front army, so as to order the surrender of the Xiaoguo army.

Yu Wenhuaji's death was a critical juncture for the entire Jiangdu Campaign.

With his death, the morale of the Xiaoguo Army, which had been fighting hard, was even lowered.

The soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army knew that they had completely lost this battle. In order to save their lives, they made the choice that was best for them - they surrendered.

With their surrender, Yuwen Zhihe and Yuwen Chengdu wanted to escape with a cadre of Yuwen Valve's personal soldiers, but they were caught up by Su Dingfang and Shen Luoyan. After a fight, Yu Wenzhi was shot several times and was pierced through the heart by Su Dingfang. And Yuwen Chengdu was escorted by twenty family members and fled in embarrassment after paying the price of one eye and one arm.

At this point, Li Qin's Battle of Jiangdu finally ended. Despite the twists and turns in the middle, he still laughed at the end.

By the time the sun set in the west, the battle in Jiangdu City was basically over. On the one hand, Li Qin ordered people to maintain order in the city, summoned the people to clean up the battlefield and clean up the ruins, and on the other hand, he stationed in the Yangzhou Guard's Mansion, released those officials who refused to adhere to Yu Wenhua and had not yet been killed, comforted them, and asked them to help him deal with the current situation and do a good job of moving the people of Yangzhou City to the south.

At that time, above the hall left by Jiangdu, only Li Qin, a fifth-rank official, was in the first place. The officials and ministers who were rescued by Li Qin stood under the hall and made promises to Li Qin, regardless of their rank. Only a few people dared to talk to Li Qin.

With Yang Guang's death, they knew that the Great Sui had been completely finished, and their original glorious official positions had become useless at this time. Now, no matter what title he originally had, he had to be a high-ranking official in front of the man above, and obey his arrangement.

This is also a matter of no choice, the situation is already like this, where will these people who have been surrendered to the sea for a long time and have seen the rise and fall of the Great Sui choose the mantis arm as a car.

The sky has fallen, the sky has changed, and we have to recalculate where to go.

So, here they talked with Li Qin, laughing and trying to figure out what Li Qin's arrangements were for them.

“…… So this Yangzhou City, Hou Ye doesn't want to ask for it anymore? After hearing what Li Qin meant, Rong Guogong came to protect his eyes wide, and he looked incredulous: "It's a pity to give up such a big strong city so much." ”

"Although Yangzhou City is good, I don't have the ability to defend him! Want to come back here...... I still have at least another year or two. ”

Li Qin pondered and said:

"The Yangtze River is a little too wide for me, and my navy is not strong enough. Now my strength is in the south of the Yangtze River, and I can't do anything about this lonely city in the north of the Yangtze River. Moving the people of Yangzhou City, the government treasury, and the money and grain to Jiangning is my best choice now. ”

"Jiangning...... That's a good place too. Laihu'er nodded.

"Give up Yangzhou, is the Hou Ye going to live in the south of the Yangtze River?" Pei Yun, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, whispered about Li Qin's intentions, and he persuaded Li Qin: "Lord Hou can defeat 100,000 Xiaoguo elites with 20,000 mighty troops, and his troops can be at their peak." Hou Ye has such a strong army, why doesn't he sweep the world? ”

"Of course, I haven't given up in the world, but now my strength is still a little too poor, and I still need more time to develop and improve. In the past, the king of Chuzhuang said: 'If you don't fly for three years, you will soar to the sky; If you don't sing for three years, the song will be amazing! I want to learn from him. Li Qin said with a smile. From Fang Cai's words, he could see that Pei Yun had the intention of taking refuge in himself.

"Isn't that enough?" Pei Yun was a little surprised: "Master Hou, don't be too careful." ”

"I don't want to just build a new dynasty and have future generations suffer from two or three hundred years of reincarnation. To create a new era and do something groundbreaking is what I want in my heart. So, my current strength is not enough. The attack on Jiangdu was to avenge the first emperor, and the second was to deter Du Fuwei, Li Zitong and others. Li Qin revealed a little bit of his ambition.

"I see!" Everyone in the hall was stunned. Although they were still a little puzzled by Li Qin's caution in their hearts, they could accept Li Qin's explanation for giving them a fairly acceptable explanation.

"So how does Master Hou plan to settle us?" Pei Yun asked again.

"I wish the servants to stay, and those who do not want to go!" Li Qin said flatly: "You can go to Dangtu and have a look...... I'm glad if you're willing to stay and help me. If you want to go back to Guanzhong, I will pay for the journey...... Try to get you guys back. ”

"Got it!" Everyone smiled and nodded. In fact, they all know in their hearts that they can't go back this time.

When you get to Dangtu, that's where you get to Li Qin. Do you want to come out again after you go in? That's just hard. And the world is so chaotic, the road back to the north has been blocked by all kinds of rebels to return to Guanzhong, even if I want to go back, I am afraid that I will have to go through a thrilling journey. Maybe at some point, you will meet the rebels and be killed by the rebels - it's too dangerous.

Everyone is not stupid, and naturally knows such a terrible nature.

However, they did not point it out, because they all knew that no matter what Li Qin's thoughts were, as long as he could say so and make such a statement, it would be enough.

The situation is stronger than people, and they have to accept their fate.

"So, for Yang Hao, the king of Qin who is good friends with Yu Wenzhi and his good friends, how is the Hou Ye going to entertain him? There are also clans and relatives of the Sui Dynasty...... I heard that they were all killed today in Danyang Palace Square. The men of the Sui family in Jiangdu are gone, and only women are left, what are the arrangements for these people? Yu Shinan, the emperor's living room, asked.

"Don't regard it as a clan, scatter it for the people, and let it go! The government provided him with two taels of silver per month to support his livelihood. If there are children under the age of 18, they are allowed to enter the official school, and they will work as officials in the future, and they will be at their own convenience. Li Qin smiled and said his thoughts.

"Don't give a knighthood, give it to the people...... Wouldn't that be too harsh? Yu Shinan was dumbfounded by the method Li Qin said, "Since ancient times, there has never been such a harsh treatment of the previous dynasty clan. ”

"Mistreatment? Does this count? ”

Li Qin chuckled and shook his head:

"Circle the clans of the previous dynasty together, raise them as pigs, and bully them when they are unhappy from time to time...... I can't help it! Laissez-faire for the people, silver subsidies, and equal treatment, I think this is the greatest care for them.

The era of the Yang family has passed, so let them pass it completely. Don't let these people and their descendants spend their lives in the weird eyes of others. ”

"This ......" Li Qin's words Yu Shinan thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. After being silent for a while, Yu Shinan said loudly: "Master Hou is not afraid that there will be people in the future......"

"Afraid of what?"

Li Qin waved his hand indifferently:

"If someone dares to rebel, then put it down completely. If I can't suppress the rebellion, cause chaos in the world, and can't hold the world, then I will admit it.

Now I don't have to think about it that much. Since you want to dominate the world, you have to show the corresponding bearing, and I am afraid that it will not be a big thing. ”

"Okay!" Since Li Qin said so, Yu Shinan could only agree.

"So...... Hou Ye doesn't plan to make the people in the Sui room emperor? Pei Yun asked again.

"I take my country. Make them emperors now, and then usurp the throne later...... Forget about such a thing. Li Qin shook his head and refused.

"But such a destiny ......" Yu Shinan was a little entangled.

"The destiny of heaven is mine, and the destiny of heaven is in the people. As long as I can stabilize the world and make the people rich, my destiny will be secure. If this is not done, the collapse of the country will be inevitable. Li Qin said confidently, his words full of resoluteness.

Since Li Qin insisted on this, then they had nothing to say.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. They can only walk around first and take a look!

At the moment, Li Qin asked Yu Shinan to write an article, which was copied by Chu Suiliang, and made a public announcement of his intention to migrate the people of Yangzhou City, and pasted it on the streets and alleys of Jiangdu, so as to announce that the people knew.

At the same time, he summoned the gang members in Jiangdu City and asked them to cooperate with him.

Now that he is the master of Jiangdu, he has the support of the army in his hands, and he is also a super master of the Array Slash Yu Culture, how can these gang members who are not even congenital want to go against his will.

So the rumors about Li Zitong and Du Fuwei wanting to go south spread in Jiangdu City, and the rumors were extremely exaggerated, and the two of them were terrible. The people of Jiangdu, who had only stabilized a little for a while, panicked and anxious again.

"What should I do?" The horror of the war plague has already happened to them once. They have a painful experience of the horror of the "chaotic soldiers", and they are absolutely unwilling to experience it again.

What to do?

The people of Yangzhou City petitioned Li Qin's soldiers and generals, begging them to stay and defend Jiangdu City, but they did not want to get Li Qin's orders, so they refused their requests without exception.

The people became more and more panicked, and the representatives they elected begged to see Li Qin.

In the lobby left behind in Jiangdu, Li Qin met with these people.

In response to their request, Li Qin shook his head lightly: "Jiangdu is a little far away from us. We don't have a strong enough water army, and we are no match for Li Zitong and Du Fuwei at all. The land of Jiangdu is flat and not conducive to defense. I don't want to throw my limited forces into this bottomless pit. ”

"So what do we do? Checkmate...... The people of Jiangdu have only recruited a military disaster, can you bear to let the people here suffer another military disaster? The representative of the people was an old man with a white beard, and in the face of Li Qin's refusal, he burst into tears, leaned on crutches, and begged Li Qin bitterly: "Please have mercy on us, general." ”

In the face of their pleas, Li Qin's face showed bitterness. He pondered for a long time, and then he reluctantly suggested: "It's impossible to continue to stay in Jiangdu." If we are afraid of encountering a military disaster, Lao Wang suggests that you go to Jiangning with me. There are fields, jobs, and security. I think you can start a new life there. ”

"Migrating south? Is this possible? The old man was amazed. It is difficult to leave his homeland, and he is still a little reluctant to do so. But Li Qin was resolutely unwilling to stay, so after thinking for a while, he could only reluctantly agree: "Okay! I'll go and persuade them. ”

Coming out of the Jiangdu Stay-at-Home Mansion, the old man explained the situation to the people and gave Li Qin's advice.

Migrating south, moving across the river - such a troublesome thing the people did not want, but now they have no better choice, and in the end they can only agree with a bitter face.

And so, the migration began. In order to prevent some people from being idle and muddy water monsters, Li Qin specially sent 3,000 soldiers to maintain order in the city, and another 2,000 people were dispatched to assist the people in moving.

When the polite soldiers appeared in front of the people, the people were really worried. But these soldiers of Li Chin reversed their views with their performance.

The whole migration work is carried out in an orderly manner.

From the day after Li Qin captured Jiangdu, a large number of ships carried the people of Jiangdu south.

In just one day, more than 20,000 people crossed the river. Later, with the arrival of the Giant Kun Gang, the Haisha Gang, the Bamboo Flower Gang and other gang ships, more people were transported south every day.

At this time, the news of Li Qin's capture of Jiangdu had already spread.

Both Du Fuwei and Li Zitong heard about the annihilation of the Xiaoguo army.

Li Zitong was taken aback and didn't dare to make any changes. After finding out that Li Qin had only 20,000 men and horses in Jiangdu, Du Fuwei sent his son Wang Xiongdan to lead 30,000 troops to pick up the bargain, but he was defeated by Su Dingfang on the plain between Jiangdu and Gaoyou with 8,000 soldiers and horses from Shenji Town and Saddle Garrison Town.

In the battle, only more than 1,000 of Wang Xiongdan's 30,000 troops fled back to Gaoyou, and the rest of the Tai were half killed in battle, and only some were captured by Su Dingfang.

Du Fuwei could not help but be surprised when he heard from Wang Xiongdan about the powerful and powerful weapons in Li Qin's army.

"Could it be that the famous green corpse guest in the rivers and lakes is Li Qin?" He was surprised to remember that he had met that group of people, and he couldn't help but have this suspicion in his heart.
