"Master..."

Tumen. When the soldiers around him heard the Tumen. When they chose to surrender, they all paid attention to it, and some even wanted to say something of advice.

"Alright, don't say anything. If you don't want to surrender to me, you can only borrow your head. "Tumen. At this moment, his face was already fierce, he looked around, and said viciously.

Tumen. The Eight Banners soldiers everywhere they looked lowered their heads one after another.

To say that one of the most powerful abilities of the Manchu Qing is to "train people", like boiling eagles. It can train people like animals that are at ease, and those who do not obey will be killed in a similar way. The closer you get to the controlled area of the capital, the more powerful it is, and the more obvious the docility of the people becomes.

Strict hierarchy has always been advocated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong also supported this order to the level of perversion. Even if Shangguan is wrong, and dares to skip the level to make a small report, you are right and wrong.

Because Qianlong didn't like people who didn't follow the "rules", which was not conducive to his pyramid management.

"This master has all descended, what are we going to fight?" The Eight Banners soldiers who were bowing their heads thought one after another.

For the righteousness of the court and the like, those only exist in dramas, what does it have to do with them? All they could get in touch with was their own superiors. Obedience to their masters is something they have to learn from an early age.

Human instinct is to live.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners, who are accustomed to accepting their fate, as long as they can save their lives, even if others do not surrender, they will also think that they can surrender and live. Not to mention that the master still surrendered?

With the surrender of Yinbinmen, the entire outer city of Jingzhou was officially occupied by the bandit army.

The siege went smoothly beyond the expectations of all the siege bandits. I thought that it would be the same as a few days ago, and I would need to fight hard, but I didn't expect that it would be so easy to take the entire outer city of Jingzhou.

Although this battle was still commanded by Ma Jiulu and others, what all the soldiers of the bandit suppression army saw was that as soon as Zhang Rui arrived in Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City was easily taken.

Because of this, the soldiers in the bandit army have deepened their awe of Zhang Rui.

The bandit army wrapped up the green battalion soldiers who surrendered, and together surrounded the entire Jingzhou city. In order to accommodate so many soldiers and horses, the bandit army even demolished some houses near the city.

At this moment, Qian Lushan, who was arranging guidance work outside the city, saw Zhang Ruizheng coming over, so he hurriedly went up to greet him and asked, "Sixth brother, are you here?" ”

"Well, Lushan. Did you tell the host when you demolished the house? Did you give compensation? Zhang Rui asked.

"According to your orders, the people have spoken, and the silver has been compensated according to the approximate market price." Qian Lushan immediately replied seriously.

As an old man who has come from Zhilian Mountain, Qian Lushan naturally knows. Although Zhang Rui usually looks kind, he doesn't care about many small things. The only thing that concerns the bandit army and the people must not be the same thing.

"That's good, this war is going on, and the people who are least vulnerable are ordinary people. It is also helpless to forcibly demolish their houses, so you can give as much as you can! Let them lose less. Zhang Rui nodded with satisfaction with Qian Lushan's work attitude and said.

"Yes, that is, the sixth brother is benevolent and righteous. Throughout the ages, no one has cared about this. Qian Lushan said with emotion.

Although the bandit suppression army demanded benevolence and righteousness, Qian Lushan, who was doing the guidance work, felt that Zhang Rui was too benevolent and righteous. This is all a battlefield, and I still take care of the lives of a few people, and sure enough, I still have a long way to go in my work.

In Qian Lushan's opinion, there is probably no more benevolent leader in this world than the sixth brother, and I don't know if it's good or bad.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Rui is too benevolent and righteous, and it is not good to have the cruelty of the emperor, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

But fortunately, Zhang Rui is not pedantic. Otherwise, the work of suppressing the bandit army will be really difficult to do.

However, Zhang Rui felt that the reputation among the people was more important than that bit of silver.

After all, now that a lot of seizures have been made, and the bandit army has not yet begun economic construction, and the treasury is sufficient, there is no need to ruin one's reputation for that small amount of silver, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Since ancient times, fame and fortune have been said, and being famous will naturally be beneficial. This kind of compensation can also better set an example for the army, so that they will not be in trouble in the future, which is really a lot of money.

"Sixth brother, this city full of people and horses is guarding the inner city wall, should we let those green battalion soldiers who surrendered to attack the city?" Ma Jiulu, who ran over not far from the side, asked Zhang Rui.

"Kaiyuan, what do you think?" Zhang Rui did not directly answer Ma Jiulu's question, but asked Wang Kaiyuan beside him.

"Sixth brother, this is a test for me, I want to come to the things prepared by the sixth brother and it's time to use them now!" Wang Kaiyuan replied to Zhang Ruizuo.

Zhang Rui looked at Wang Kaiyuan but smiled, nodded and said to Ma Jiulu:

"Commander Ma, I think you also know what I asked you to do, so you don't have to wait now?"

"Can it be used? Sixth brother. Ma Jiulu suddenly remembered the big iron buckets that Zhang Rui had prepared for them before. However, remembering that Zhang Rui said before that he could use it without it, he was a little puzzled.

"Of course you can, things are made for use." Zhang Rui looked at Ma Jiulu's doubts and replied affirmatively.

"By the way, those newly recruited green battalion soldiers don't need them to attack the city, just let them watch from the sidelines." Zhang Rui then commanded.

"Why?" Ma Jiulu was at a loss.

Not only did Ma Jiulu not understand, but even Wang Kaiyuan, Qian Lushan and others on the side didn't understand why Zhang Rui ordered like this.

In this battle, who did not let the troops go up first to consume the enemy's strength. So they were all staring at Zhang Rui with a pair of eyes seeking answers.

"For deterrence. Let them understand that even if they don't surrender, I will be the best in the world in terms of bandit army, and we can easily take this city. Zhang Rui looked at it and replied.

"Yes, follow the instructions of the sixth brother." Zhang Rui's strange statement obviously did not convince the people present, but Ma Jiulu had to answer him.

"Well, it's almost noon. Lushan, arrange it first, and prepare more meat at noon so that the soldiers can eat a full meal first. Zhang Rui didn't explain more, just looked at the sun in the sky and commanded.

"Sixth brother, it's only been a short time since the morning eclipse. Or, while this Manchurian has not yet gained a firm foothold, I will let the soldiers attack and then talk about it? Ma Jiulu heard that Zhang Rui asked the army to stop for lunch, and hurriedly suggested.

"That's right, Sixth Brother. What Commander Ma said is not unreasonable. As the saying goes, one drum is blown, and three drums are rested. Now that the morale of our army is high, we can take this full city. Wang Kaiyuan also followed suit.

"You have a point, but you can relax. This full city, even if they are full of people to gain a firm foothold? It doesn't take a few hours to take it down. Zhang Rui patted Ma Jiulu's shoulder beside him, looked at the city wall and said with disdain.

"In my opinion, this city is less important than the hunger of my bandit soldiers. I just let those who surrendered know that the invincible Manchurians in their hearts are just like that. ”

"Yes, Sixth Brother, I'll arrange it." Maybe it was Zhang Rui's domineering appearance that made Qian Lushan infected, but I saw Qian Lushan answer Zhang Rui with excitement on his face.
