Chapter 75: Yan Yingyuan was angry

A traitorous eunuch has already been captured alive by the army of the Great Tomorrow, and he still dares to question him, Yan Yingyuan is even more disgusted with him in his heart. Yan Yingyuan smiled coldly and hugged his fists in the direction of Jingshi:

"Thanks to the love of the Son of Heaven, let this general ascend to the sky in one step, I am Yan Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Yangzhou."

Yan Yingyuan said, reached out and took a flintlock pistol, and raised his hand to shoot it.

"Bang ......"

"Oops...... My legs ......"

A gunshot rang out, Du Zhizhi's left leg was broken by Yan Yingyuan, Du Zhizhi screamed in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

The last few guards around him were already seriously injured, and they were powerless to save him.

But before his howling could cease, three more soldiers handed him flintlock muskets.

"Bang Bang ......"

There were three more gunshots, and Du Zhizhi's limbs were all broken by Yan Yingyuan, and the damned traitor Du Zhizhi's limbs were all wasted, and he could only wail when he lay on the ground.

Yan Yingyuan's four shots were clean and neat, and he barely aimed at him, and Li Yan and the red lady looked at him with appreciation.

The couple hugged Yan Yingyuan and smiled:

"General Yan is good at marksmanship, and the emperor is really accurate."

"The general's wife has won the award, and Yan is also blind, let me fight ten more times, but I guess I won't be able to hit......"

"Haha......"

Yan Yingyuan was very modest, thanked Li Yan and his wife, and casually threw the flintlock pistol to his subordinates.

When he was first transferred to Li Yan, Li Yan and the red lady saw that he was young, with fine skin and tender meat, and thought that he had no real talent.

But in today's battle at the city gate, Yan Yingyuan killed three rebels in an instant with a swing of his sword, and then took the lead in the rebel formation, he killed at least ten people by himself, and he was very brave.

The rarest thing is that he was not injured at all, and he continued to fight, and the rebels did not dare to get close and retreated.

Now he is showing his accurate marksmanship, which makes Li Yan and his wife understand that the emperor did not send Yan Yingyuan to lead the army to Baijun, it turned out to be really a fierce general.

Today's fraudulent opening of the city gate is also a tactic jointly formulated by Yan Yingyuan and them, because there is no siege battle, so that the Ming army can avoid many casualties.

No matter what dynasty you are in, no matter how outstanding your strength is, once there is a siege battle, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

It can be said that every city that has been captured has been exchanged for the blood and lives of the soldiers.

Where would Li Yan and his wife know,

Historically, Yan Yingyuan led the people of Jiangyin to fight against the more than 100,000 troops captured from the east.

In the end, he killed three princes and eighteen generals of the Eastern Captivity, eliminated more than 70,000 Eastern captives and puppet troops, and finally the whole city was killed in battle, and only about 50 people survived.

After Yan Yingyuan threw the flintlock pistol to his subordinates, he looked at Du Zhizhi like a dead dog, and ordered:

"Come on, send this person to the Beijing Division, hand it over to the emperor for disposal, and his personal soldiers will correct the law on the spot."

"Yes"

After Yan Yingyuan dealt with Du Zhizhi's rank, he began to post notices for the people.

And he asked people to use all the gold and silver collected from Du Zhizhi, about more than 150,000 taels, to sell grain to relieve the people of the city.

And Li Yan gave an order to gather all the soldiers who had surrendered at Juyong Pass, and he wanted to give a lecture.

Soon all the surrendered troops at Juyong Pass were assembled, more than 3,000 soldiers, nearly 1,000 people were killed in the battle, and the rest all surrendered, and there were more than 2,000 rebels.

These soldiers of the Ming Dynasty followed Du Zhizhi to surrender to the Liukou, and now they all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty again, and they were very conflicted and regretful in their hearts.

Of course, for ordinary soldiers, they don't have the ability to fight, and they can't decide anything, unless they commit suicide and martyrdom, which not everyone can do.

Seeing the majestic Ming army in front of him.

The rebels all felt unreal, they were too well equipped, and the soldiers were full of spirit, not at all like the previous Ming army.

And they can only bow their heads, full of guilt and wait for the results of their disposition, maybe disbanded, or all beheaded.

Li Yan and the Red Lady walked in front of these soldiers who had betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

Behind the two of them were ten female soldiers of the Women's Army and ten Iron Knights of Xuanjia, which not only had beautiful scenery, but also gave people enough shock to produce a powerful psychological deterrent to the rebels.

Li Yan's majestic gaze quickly swept over these rebels, and then began to speak:

"You used to be my Ming soldiers, but you betrayed your country and relatives, and actually surrendered to Li Zicheng with Du Zhizhi.

Now that there are many displaced people and the country is in a serious division, when the son of Shengming decided to redistribute the land, and the military salary was also paid on time, and there was an increase on the original basis.

The emperor knows that your betrayal of the court was not voluntary, and he has decided to pardon you for capital crimes, and if you still want to continue to serve the country, you can stay.

Of course, if you don't want to fight everywhere, you can also disband and return to the field, and the court will not force it.

But

It is absolutely forbidden to harass the people and violate laws and disciplines.

You must not go back to your old business and become a traitor again.

Once discovered, it will not be tolerated, and the whole family will be wiped out.

Now I will give you half a pillar of incense time to think about it, and after half a pillar of incense, I want to know your answer. ”

As soon as Li Yan's words fell, a thousand-captain standing at the front took a step forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again, and his forehead was already blurred with flesh and blood after a few clicks.

I saw that his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but let the tears fall:

"General, we don't have anything to think about, we are Ming soldiers, but we just followed the wrong general, and now the villain has decided to continue to be loyal to the country, thank you to the emperor for your grace, thank you for the general's grace not to kill."

"Yes, don't think about it, we are willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it is the dead eunuchs who harm us, we will definitely be good people, be a qualified Ming soldier, we are willing to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty, please accept our ......"

Like a collapsed domino, under the leadership of the thousand-commander, more than 2,000 soldiers all knelt in front of Li Yan and his wife.

Yan Yingyuan, who then rushed to the scene, couldn't help but have a little red in his eyes when he saw this scene, who said that my Ming soldiers were weak and selfish, just because they didn't meet a good general.

Like Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, all of them were killed in battle, and no one surrendered to the east.

Li Yanhong's lady was also touched, and Li Yan raised his hand to let everyone get up:

"Soldiers, calm down, since you are willing to turn back, this general will accept you today, and from today onwards, Juyong Pass will be handed over to you, I hope you will do what you say."

The rebels kowtowed again and again, expressing their gratitude to Li Yan and the imperial court:

"Thank you, General, we are willing to live and die with Ju Yongguan, and we are locked up in people."

During this period of time, the surrendered soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who had a little conscience, were tormented in their hearts, and as a soldier, they did not fight for the divided Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, under the orders of the surrendering faction and the great eunuch Du Zhizhi, they kept bullying and looting the people, and most of the soldiers could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
