Ning Yu briefly told Li Fu about the idea of compiling "The Biography of Erchen", and if he wants to operate this matter well, it is not a simple list of names, but it also involves many other issues, and it will even affect the unification in the future.

Li Fu didn't feel strange about Ning Yu's idea, but he had some doubts in his heart, "It's not a problem to write "The Biography of Erchen", but most of the descendants of these people have military power in their hands, and to a large extent, they are soldiers of the green battalion. ”

Ning Yu naturally understands this truth, but in this matter, he is more stubborn, "The foundation of my restoration of the Han army is to rejuvenate the Han family, to inherit the great unification of the Ming Dynasty, trace back to the source, and stabilize people's hearts." If we open up to these people in the future, what will be the foundation for our army? ”

Li Fu was a little silent, he didn't understand the righteousness in Ning Yu's heart, but he thought that it was too unworthy to do so, the interests involved behind those people were too big, even if he wanted to settle old accounts, he could wait until the great cause was unified, and then slowly liquidate and not eat, and now he put these people into another book so directly, which is a little irrational.

However, what Ning Yu wanted to do, Li Fu was not good at openly opposing, so he was ordered to retreat, and now that Jiangning is established, many things are still complicated, so for a period of time, the Governor's Office has been brightly lit, and everyone is so busy that they can't stop.

As night fell, Ning Yu walked out of the tent wearing a single coat, the smell of gunsmoke in the air had not completely dissipated, mixed with a little blood, which made people feel a little pungent.

In the distance, a bright color appeared in the dark night, where a large pit had been dug, and the firewood piled up in it was burning, and many soldiers of the Fu Han Army were carrying the corpses and throwing them inside, and then adding firewood to make the flames burn more and more vigorously.

This is the practice of the Fu Han army after each battle, Ning Yu began to do this as early as when he started the army, in this era after the catastrophe there is often a major epidemic, the reason is that the corpse is not processed in time, resulting in a large number of viruses in the wanton spread, so it is necessary to dispose of the corpse in time to avoid the epidemic as much as possible.

"Long live the Grand Governor!"

A group of soldiers around the fire found Ning Yu wearing single clothes, and their expressions were full of admiration and fanaticism, and the ideological education in the Fu Han army has never stopped, especially the Praetorian Brigade is the seedling of the whole army, and the loyalty to Ning Yu is incomparable.

Ning Yu hadn't gotten along with the officers and soldiers below so close for a long time, so now that he saw the faces of these soldiers, most of them were a little unfamiliar, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Which regiment are you from?"

One of the soldiers at the head gave a military salute and said respectfully: "Governor Qiyu, his subordinate is Zhao Chengli, the camp tent of the second battalion of the third regiment of the Praetorian Guard Brigade, and he led his troops to carry out the task of burning corpses. ”

Ning Yu quickly went through it in his mind, but he had an impression in his heart, and said with emotion: "I remember you, you are a group of people who rushed to the forefront after the Battle of Jiujiang, and many of us died at that time, but you survived." ”

In the current Fuhan Army, regardless of the middle and high-level officers, the bottom such as captains and company commanders, or even battalion commanders, if they want to be promoted, the easiest way is to go first, that is, to rush to the front. If you can survive, it is a meritorious service, and if you die, then you can only die.

Even if the officers who come out of the martial arts hall have to go through such a thing on the battlefield, to put it bluntly, fighting at the bottom is a matter of morale, to see who can resist more, to see who is more afraid of death, at this time the officer's leading role will become very large, and even in the barracks there has been a situation If the officer does not take the lead, then he will soon be kicked down, and the people below will not be convinced.

This has also caused the casualty rate of the current middle and low-level officers of the Fu Han Army to be terrifying, but in this way, there are still many people who want to become low-level officers, and the reason is naturally that the rewards for officers in the Fu Han Army are also very generous, which are much stronger than small soldiers. And only when the officer reaches the regimental level will he not pay attention to the charge, after all, this time is more of a test of command ability.

Zhao Chengli was a relatively honest man, his face turned red, "I didn't expect the Metropolitan Governor to remember his humble duties..... It's really ....... to be humble," he said, and his eyes turned a little red.

There is no soldier who does not want to be remembered by the general, because it is not only remembered but also recognized.

Ning Yu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Recently, the Wuchang Lecture Martial Arts Association has held the second officer training regiment, which is mainly for officers at the company and battalion level, I have already written your name on it, and I will study hard after returning to Wuchang." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Chengli's face turned red, he clenched his fist and pounded it his chest, and the whole person trembled slightly.

The soldiers on the side looked at Zhao Chengli with envy, who in the army doesn't know? The officer training corps is not simple, especially for ordinary soldiers, if they want to be promoted to the company and battalion level, as long as they are not afraid of death and have a little luck, it is not impossible, but if they want to be promoted to the regimental level or above, the officer training corps has become an unavoidable hurdle.

The next day, the gate of Jiangning was opened, and a big banner of the Fu Han Army was inserted on the city tower, and a big 'Ning' word was written on the fiery red flag, fluttering in the wind.

After a night of fear, the people in Jiangning City finally opened the door of their homes, and many people probed their brains out, only to find that the street was not a scene full of corpses, except for some dry red marks on the ground, they could only see some walls, inlaid with deformed lead bullets.

Many people gathered around a wall, where several well-dressed soldiers of the Fu Han Army were reciting aloud some of the policies of the Fu Han Army, but many of them were shouting from time to time.

"The officers and soldiers of the Fu Han Army entering the city are strictly forbidden to harass the people, it is strictly forbidden to commit adultery and plunder, and it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell by force.

"The Fu Han Army will organize the Military Judge Advocate Office to temporarily control Jiangning City, and all relevant livelihood matters will be jointly handled by the Governor's Office and the Military Justice Department, and anyone who has grievances can go to the Military Justice Department to complain!"

.........

The city began to become lively, and the soldiers of the Fu Han army also lined up in a neat line and began to march towards the city, and everyone's faces were filled with confident and eager smiles.

The people on the side saw the army entering the city, and they were still a little flustered, but seeing that the Fu Han army did not have the slightest intention of killing, they slowly let down their vigilance at the moment, and just looked at the figure of the Fu Han army and sighed.

"The teacher of the king, the teacher of the king!"

An old man with gray hair sighed again and again, he had experienced war, so he naturally knew what this Qing Dynasty soldier was, how could he be like this autumn without committing any crimes?

When the army entered the city, the entire Jiangning City was not completely harmonious, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army had blocked the gentry and clans in Jiangning City who were dependent on the Qing court, especially the Jiangnan Weaving Cao Mansion, which has now become a slaughter.

Everyone in the Cao Mansion has been driven out of the mansion and locked up in the compound, and there are rows of soldiers of the Fu Han Army standing nearby, their faces are very solemn, especially looking at the braids behind the heads of the men of the Cao family, with a bit of mockery.

Cao Fu is not in Jiangning now, he was sent by Fan Shiyi to Yang Zongren's side, responsible for recruiting group training, so when the Cao family broke down in Jiangning City, they had no backbone, and they didn't even know where to run, so that the entire family was blocked in the mansion.

Cao Zhan, who was only ten years old, knelt in the courtyard with his mother, his face was a little dazed, and the men with bayonets looked at him with a bit of disdain in their eyes, as if they were looking at a chicken that was about to be slaughtered.

The female relatives on the side originally planned to commit suicide, but when they found that these soldiers had not done anything except to drive everyone out, their hearts were half relieved, and the idea of suicide was no longer there.

It's just that those soldiers didn't let them go, but it made these Cao family feel frightened, speaking of identity, the Cao family was naturally a prominent family in the Qing Dynasty, but on the side of the Fu Han Army, they were real traitors.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the palace gate, and a general of the Fu Han Army in a big red army uniform walked in, he was wearing black cowhide boots, and his expression was not angry and arrogant.

"According to the order of the Dadu Governor, the Cao clan since the beginning of the ancestor Cao Zhenyan, was the former official of the Ming Dynasty, but he threw himself into the captives to kill the children of my Han family, and washed the people of Datong in blood, his sins are unforgivable, and now his thieves are dead, and the special general Cao Zhenyan and Cao Xi father and son dig graves and dig graves, crush bones and scatter ashes, and the Cao clan people are all in the coolie camp, and they will not be forgiven for life!"

The bloody words almost frightened the kneeling Cao clansmen, and they even had incontinence, so they fell to the ground and began to wail in pain, but no one dared to stand up and object.

The liquidation action of the Fu Han army was fierce and ruthless, the Cao family's mansion was soon banned, and the people of the big and small clans were also directly escorted to the prisoner car, their destination may be a certain mine, or a certain construction site, but the young Cao Zhan was pressed into the prisoner car, looking at the huge Cao Mansion behind him, but he let out a sigh different from that of a child.

"It seems...... This shouldn't be the case......"

In the history of later generations, it will take several years for the complete collapse of the Cao family, and it is only the confiscation of all the property, but it is not like now, the whole family is in prison, and the future is completely bleak.

In fact, Ning Yu was also a little hesitant when he disposed of the Cao family, the reason is very simple, it is not a pity for the Cao family to die, but the Cao family produced a Cao Xueqin, and also wrote a masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions".

It's just that after Ning Yu checked what Cao Zhenyan did, the unbearable in his heart was completely dispelled, it turned out that this Cao Zhenyan was originally an official of the Ming Dynasty, but he took refuge in the Qing army, and even became a clothed slave under Dolgon, and later made many military exploits, that's all, Cao Zhenyan and his eldest son Cao Xi (that is, Cao Yin's father) also participated in the Datong massacre, more than 780,000 Datong people and more than 50,000 bare-handed pawns, all died under their swords.

Later, Datong also erected a stone stele, which recorded the slaughter of the city by the Cao family's father and son, "The change of Wuzi, who is not a child, mistakenly fell into the soup fire, mourned the people, and the liver and brain were smeared." Right and wrong are indisputable, jade is burned, covered with Chu ape disaster forest, city fire and fish, this is also the reason and the situation must come, look at this Wucheng, compared to the Wu Palace Jin room, bow for the grass, for the lonely ghost field, five reading spring and autumn. The philosopher is sad of separation, and he can't bear to let go. ”

In this case, let alone a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions", even if it is ten, Ning Yu will not have the slightest hesitation, after all, he has no right to forgive the Cao family for the people who died under the knife of the Cao family's father and son.

For Jiangning, Ning Yu has deep expectations, but if you want to completely enter Jiangning, you still need to continue to clean Jiangning thoroughly, unlike Anhui and Jiangxi, Ning Yu is unwilling to continue to compromise in Jiangning, at least now there is no need to worry about the Jiangnan gentry who have been scared.

At the same time, the people in Jiangning City cheered one after another, because the Fu Han Army had issued a new proclamation, abolishing all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also abolishing the so-called fire consumption of silver and showdowns, Jiangnan will be exempted from taxes this year, and it will be necessary to pay regular taxes next year.

Of course, this step is actually a common measure taken by the Fu Han army since it came to the present, in order to naturally stabilize people's hearts in the shortest possible time, and then achieve a smooth transition, so that the conquered land can be included in the scope of rule more quickly, from this point of view, it is much more important than those taxes and silver.

Of course, the effect of this measure is also very good, at least the minds of many people in Jiangning City have begun to change, from Chu Wei to Wang Shi Zhengshuo, the distance between this is not very far, at least these decrees of the Fu Han Army are enough to make people change their minds.

After all, since ancient times, the people's requirements are not high, as long as they can ensure a bite to eat, even if they are very busy every day, they will not make a fuss, after all, living is the biggest purpose. But if they don't even have the right to live, then they can only do it with a knife.

While the people's hearts gradually leaned towards the Fu Han army, the scissors in the city began to get busy, and many people directly twisted their braids to show their support for the Fu Han army. Of course, there were also some old diehards loyal to the Manchu Qing who would rather not go out than cut off the pig's tail to show their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

However, for Ning Yu, these people are at most some old stubborns who don't know what to do, anyway, those who enter and leave the city to keep braids are levied a tax of five taels of silver braids, and Ning Yu is not losing money in this business.

On July 22, a dozen ships loaded with captives from the Han and Qing armies marched west along the Yangtze River for Wuchang, where they were to be sent to the mines around Wuchang, and some of the good ones were selected for short-term light labor.

Of course, there is also a group of special people on the ship, that is, a group of gentry from Jiangnan who took refuge in the Han Army, this time they went to Wuchang, one is to meet the big master on the surface, and the other is to discuss the pattern of Jiangnan after the war.

After all, after this battle, the world will also enter the stage of reshuffling.
