Chapter 131: Physical Annihilation
After the neat regiment wiped out the elders in the hall, the assault team did not stop and turned to the Fushou Palace behind the Chengtian Palace.
Before the mother and son were captured, the commando team's mission was only half completed.
However, after capturing luxury Chongming alive and strangling the elders, the resistance in the main village was basically gone, and the assault team entered the Fushou Palace where the mother and son lived very smoothly.
With the arrested extravagant Chongming in front, there was no need to persuade him, and the mother and son of An Wei did not have any resistance, and they were obediently restrained.
Before the assault team took Yu Chongming and An Wei to the pass, seeing that the general situation had turned, the more than 1,000 rebels guarding the pass surrendered.
After the Ming army successfully received the pass, Lu Xiangsheng followed the army into the main village of Anxi, and then summoned the tribes below the Shuixi clan to discuss the matter.
Because An Bangyan took away most of the Ding Zhuang in Shuixi, most of the people who stayed in the villages at this time were the weak, women and children.
After passing the heads of each department to the villages, most of the villages spontaneously tied up the heads of the families.
The Chengtian Temple had been swept out at this time, and Lu Xiangsheng sat on the main seat with a golden sword, surrounded by guards and soldiers armed with firearms.
When the new heads of various departments came into the hall to vote for their names, Lu Xiangsheng greeted him enthusiastically, and the staff officers checked the names of the eighteen Dong villages in Shuixi in turn.
But until the sun moved to the west, there were still two of the eighteen Dong villages that did not show up.
Lu Xiangsheng's face slowly sank, and he decided not to wait, he handed over his name, and the strength of the officials and soldiers had to be demonstrated to them.
After beckoning Li Tengjiao, Lu Xiangsheng whispered a few words, and after Li Tengjiao went out, the atmosphere in the hall immediately cooled down.
Everyone guessed what Lu Xiangsheng meant, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't hide it.
"If you want to invite the guest, you don't want to come, so you have to go to the door in person."
Although Lu Xiangsheng said these two words with a smile, no one from the leaders below who came on behalf of the clan dared to laugh, and they all lowered their heads and drank the tea in front of them, and they didn't dare to come out.
The two cottages are not very far from the main village, and you can play back and forth in half an hour.
So, without letting these troops wait, a few round heads were quickly brought up by the soldiers of the new army.
And Li Tengjiao came up and whispered a few words to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he still smiled at the leaders.
"Shimu Mountain and Gaoling Village have been leveled, do any of you want the women and children in these two villages?"
As soon as the words were finished, the room was full of shock, and one of the timid leaders even dropped the teacup to the ground.
In half an hour, the two villages were served, and listening to the tone, it seemed that the adult males in the village had been slaughtered.
Although they often do this kind of cottage fire and extinguish everything, when this thing comes out of the mouths of the officials and soldiers, they are still frightened, and after calming down, they are even more afraid.
Without anyone urging, after seeing these heads they knew, all the clan leaders knelt down and praised the official army Tianwei.
But he said words of praise in his mouth, but in his heart he was secretly glad that he had come.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't let them get up, but said slowly.
"Leader Sheng and Leader Xin, you two came the earliest, then these two villages, you two will be divided."
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng's words fell, the two people in front of him were overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to thank him.
And the leaders behind probably scolded their mothers in their hearts.
After the capture of Shuixi, Lu Xiangsheng reported the good news to Jingshi and Guiyang, and began to purge Shuixi.
Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, An's has taken root in Shuixi, and has been inherited for more than 1,000 years.
It is not easy to uproot the roots of the An clan in Shuixi for thousands of years, but Lu Xiangsheng adopted a simple and crude method, using brute control and barbarism, and using the tribes that have a dislike for the An clan to clean up, and the effect is immediate.
As a string of heads was hung in front of the main village in Shuixi, the influence of the Shuixi clan was basically eliminated.
Lu Xiangsheng remembered that once when the Son of Heaven gave a lecture to martial arts students again, he mentioned a term, which seemed to be called 'physical elimination'.
Lu Xiangsheng felt that what he was doing now should be physical elimination.
At the same time, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, Zhu Youzhen looked at the urgent report sent from Guizhou and also mentioned this term.
Although Lao Lu's approach is somewhat anti-human, this practice of physical extermination is once and for all. ”
Zhu Youzhen sighed, and beckoned Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side.
"Go to the cabinet and invite the elders."
Wang Chengen didn't dare to slack off, and trotted to the cabinet.
During this period of time near the New Year's Festival, all roads in the world have stopped a lot, there are no floods and droughts in winter, and there has been little rain in the north in recent years, and the snow disaster has not occurred.
And it's almost the New Year, and there is no movement in the East Captivity, and in the past year, with the strong support of Zhu Youzhen, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town has been replaced with a shotgun.
After eating and drinking, Dongjiang Town has not been less than the coastal areas of Huo Huodong's captivity this year.
Moreover, under the guidance of Zhu Youzhen, the officers and men of Dongjiang Town no longer aimed at recovering the land, but took the harassment war to the extreme.
Burning forts, filling wells, firing black guns, robbing the grain transport teams of the Eastern Prisoners, and changing places with one shot, although their own side also suffered losses, but the entire coast of the Eastern Capture was restless.
Huang Taiji was helpless, and also organized several encirclement and suppression, but the effect was not obvious, and when the Ming army retreated to the island, the Eight Banners Army could only sigh.
In the Tianjin Binhai Special Economic Zone, under the guidance of the idea of building while trading, although it was still in the infrastructure construction stage, there were already ships coming to trade, and the imperial court had already received the benefits of opening the sea.
Under the preferential policy of grain tax exemption, grain merchants from Huguang in the south of the Yangtze River have transported grain from Huguang and Jiangnan to the port of Tianjin at the risk of their ships capsizing.
Compared with taking the canal and land routes, starting from the Yangtze River, going down the river, and going north after going to sea, the capacity has increased a lot, but the freight has decreased, and no one collects taxes along the way, so the cost can be saved a lot.
Merchants pursue profits, only the interests are enough, and some people on the sea and land, who were afraid of dangerous paths, have gradually begun to leave.
This winter, there was no large-scale outburst of displaced people in the north, and the opening of Tianjin to the sea was also one of the reasons.
And what made Zhu Youzhen even happier was that it was profitable to see that it was profitable to traffic grain, and the rice from Jiaozhi was also transported to Tianjin, although the ships were all from the Zheng family, but Zhu Youzhen was still very happy to have grain to be delivered.
After Zheng Zhilong was given a holy decree commendation and a false title, more rice came from Jiaozhi.
