Zhu Youlang's attitude is very clear, and there are many kinds of green battalion soldiers.

Among them, there were those who "surrendered" during the period before and after the Qing army entered the customs, and there were also those who were forced to change their court with the main general after Sun Kewang's rebellion.

The former has been thoroughly assimilated, and is no different from the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Killing compatriots, these green battalion soldiers are even more ruthless than the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

In Zhu Youlang's view, this kind of green battalion soldiers, whether officers or soldiers, should not stay.

As for those who have just been cleared, and have not yet had time to assimilate, although they are guilty, their sins are not unto death.

Zhu Youlang also agreed with Li Dingguo's argument that it was not a wise move to kill prisoners on a large scale, so that in the future, the Qing soldiers knew that they would die if they were captured, and they would inevitably resist desperately. In this way, the Ming soldiers will add a lot of unnecessary damage.

But killing only the officers is not enough to deter, and so many prisoners can eat a lot of food, and there is not so much food for them at the moment.

So Zhu Youlang decided to kill a group of criminally sinful Green Battalion soldiers, leaving some who were not seriously wrong.

After understanding the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, Li Dingguo felt that it was very reasonable.

Ordinary soldiers should also bear the corresponding responsibility for mistakes, but some are capital crimes and some can live.

"In that case, how does Your Majesty think you should distinguish between these types of captives?"

Li Dingguo raised the doubts in his heart.

These green battalion soldiers have all shaved their hair, and there is not much difference in appearance.

"It's so simple that ordinary soldiers can identify it. One or two may have omissions, but the more people say it, the less likely it is to be wrong. ”

Zhu Youlang paused and said: "Killing those who are extremely guilty of the worst crimes, leaving the rest to be scattered to mine and work as coolies, can be regarded as atonement." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Dingguo gave a slap in the face at the right time.

Zhu Youlang smiled noncommittally and continued: "It is said that this battle has gained a lot, although there is not much food, but there is a lot of money, it should be enough to pay the soldiers for a period of time. ”

The problem of the Yongli court is still too poor.

Looting the Qing army seemed to be a good option.

...

...

When the Ming soldiers told the Green Camp captives that they needed to identify each other with those who had been imprisoned for a long time and had committed great crimes, they couldn't help but look at each other.

What does Ming Jun want to do?

Maybe it's to be treated differently, right?

Otherwise, what should be done separately?

Among them, many of the soldiers under the command of Sun Kewang had some relationship with the soldiers under the command of King Jin.

Although there was a quarrel between Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, the soldiers below did not have any deep hatred.

Well, the Ming army must have wanted to single out those soldiers of the original "Daxi" department and leave them alive.

After a fierce ideological struggle, they decided to take the initiative to reveal their identities.

"Huzi, it's me, I'm Tie Niu."

"Brother Xuzi, I'm the second pillar."

"Third Brother Zhao, we are from the same village. I am He Chang, the second son of the He family next to the widow's house at the head of the village. ”

For a while, the captives of the Green Battalion spoke one after another, and I couldn't stop saying anything.

Soon, the Ming army completed the identification of the green battalion soldiers.

Of the 30,000 people captured, only 3,000 were originally surrendered before and after entering the customs, and almost all of the rest were the original Yungui Ming army that followed Sun Kewang to surrender to the Qing.

It's also easy to check your identity, after all, you can hear it from the accent, and there are many people who already know each other.

He was not surprised when this news was reported to Zhu Youlang. On the contrary, it is also common sense.

After all, the Qing army has been in the customs for a long time, and most of the green battalion soldiers have been stationed in various places.

It is unrealistic to transfer all the green battalion soldiers to attack Yunnan, and the Qing army should be able to drive the original Yunnan-Guiming army that followed Sun Kewang to surrender.

"Put to death those heinous Green Battalion soldiers."

Zhu Youlang made this decision to tell the world that anyone must pay the price for the decision they make, and don't think that if there are too many evildoers, they will be able to get away with it.

At this point, Zhu Youlang and the Ming court were principled and did everything to eliminate evil.

This move is also a warning to those soldiers who have just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty that they must have a scale of good and evil in their hearts.

If they are confused for a while, they can still be saved, but if they do not repent and gradually turn black, then they will be caught by the Ming army and will not escape death.

At this moment, the selected Green Camp villains had been pushed out, and a row of a hundred people knelt on the ground.

They knew that they would not escape death, and their mouths were full of foul language.

The soldiers of the Ming army were not polite, and they cut off their heads one by one when they raised their knives.

The head rolled to the ground like a watermelon, and blood spurted out like a pillar and spilled all over the ground.

It took a lot of time for the Ming army to kill the 3,000 Green Battalion villains and those officers.

The heads were left for military exploitation, and the bodies were buried in pre-dug pits.

The captives who watched from afar were dumbfounded.

Although the Ming army did not kill them, they instinctively felt fear, their faces were pale, their legs were weak, and some of them were timid and even peed hot under their crotch.

Mom, fortunately, they confided their identities in time. If he was mistaken for a veteran of the Green Battalion by the Ming Army, wouldn't he have become a ghost under the knife now?

At this moment, the smell of blood in the air was so strong that it was like a slaughterhouse.

Anyway, it's good to survive.

It is better to be used as a coolie, and to be a cow or a horse than to go to see the king of Hades.

...

...

"Your Majesty, our army has gained a lot this time, but it's a pity that the Wu thief ran away again."

Li Dingguo said with some regret.

I have to say that Wu Sangui's ability to run away is really good.

After Li Dingguo found out, although he ordered someone to chase after him in time, he did not catch up.

"I want to see what the thief will say when he sees the thief."

Zhu Youlang smiled faintly and said: "However, there should be no military disaster in Yunnan in the short term, and we must seize the time to rest and train the troops." ”

At this moment, the direction of history has finally undergone some deflection.

It's not a big deflection, but it's a good start.

Zhu Youlang is also becoming more and more confident, and resisting the Qing Dynasty is not an impossible task.

"I don't know what the situation is with the king of Yanping."

The Son of Heaven suddenly mentioned Zheng Chenggong, but Li Dingguo was taken aback.

He couldn't figure out what His Majesty meant by this question, so he remained silent.

"I'll talk about it casually."

Zhu Youlang didn't seem to want to continue chatting on this topic, and changed the conversation and said: "Calculate carefully, Yiling should have received the news, I really can't wait to meet Inspector Wen." ”

Wen Anzhi is the most outstanding existence among the Wenchen of the Southern Ming Dynasty known to Zhu Youlang, and the generals under him are sufficient, but the Wenchen is extremely lacking.

There is no way to send the crown prince to Yiling to raise the army, and transfer Wen Anzhi back to the court to preside over the overall situation of the cabinet. After all, Zhu Youlang alone can't handle the complicated government affairs even if he is exhausted, and he urgently needs a right-hand man!
