After listening to Li Xiao's question, Wanyan Yechen, who knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, closed his eyes tightly and did not say a word. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing this, Li Xiao thought that he couldn't understand Chinese, and was about to call for a translator, but he didn't expect that at this time, Xu Erxian, the deputy general of the Han army who had surrendered, strode over, kicked Wanyan Yechen who pretended to be a dead dog to the ground, and scolded: "Wanyan Yechen, you dog mongrel!" Are you still pretending that you can't understand Chinese? Grandpa is going to kick you to death today! ”

Xu Erxian looked indignant, and stepped forward to kick again, but was stopped by Li Xiao in a low voice.

Xu Erxian turned his head, with a flattering and flattering smile on his face, and said to Li Xiao: "Tang Guogong, this person is Wanyan Yechen, the main general of Lushun City. This guy can understand Chinese, but now he is pretending to be dead in front of adults, which is really hateful! ”

Li Xiao nodded lightly: "Oh, my father knows, you can retreat first." ”

Xu Erxian retreated, Li Xiao sneered, and said to Wanyan Yechen: "Okay, don't pretend to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty in front of your father." If you really want to die, why don't you fight with our army to the end? Wouldn't it be a shame to run away first and then be caught? “

Listening to Li Xiao's heart-wrenching words, Wanyan Yechen's face was blushing, he slowly opened his eyes, but there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Alas, Wanyan is incompetent, the defeated army lost the city, Tang Guogong's words are really unspeakable." Let's go, now that I have fallen into the hands of your Tang army, I want to kill or chop, but I have to deal with it. “

Liu Guoneng on the side snorted coldly, brushed the ground and drew a knife in his hand: "Dog-inned Tartar, since you want to die so much, Lao Tzu will fulfill you!" ”

Liu Guoneng was about to slash, but was stopped by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked at Yan Yechen expressionlessly, and tried his best to resist the urge to cut off this person's dog head in one fell swoop.

If it was just to avenge the people of Jinzhou that day, of course, it would be the happiest to kill all the Qing troops who had surrendered. It's just that in Li Xiao's heart, there is a voice that keeps reminding him that taking in and adapting this Wanyan Yechen and these Qing troops will be more helpful for his future development.

After all, these Manchurian soldiers and horses defending the city are all elite in a hundred battles, and in a way, they are an extremely valuable asset. If this batch of soldiers and horses, like the Manchurian Qing army collected in the border city of the town before, first subdued, then reformed through labor, and finally completed the sinicization, and then absorbed into the use, it is the best choice.

It would be most appropriate if these fierce and combative guys could finally serve their own loyalty, go to the vast and boundless Southeast Asia, and slaughter the local lowly natives who are stubborn because of their belief in a certain religion, so as to expand their territory and take the entire Philippines and Indonesia islands, as well as the more distant Australia, under their own rule.

In addition, if these Manchurian soldiers and horses can be collected for their own use, and these guys who can fight for themselves can be killed, then this will also be a major blow to the Qing chieftain Huang Taiji. If he saw that these Manchurian elites who had been cultivated after years of bloody battles eventually became part of the Tang Army, and in turn to fight against the Qing court, it would definitely make Huang Taiji's heart ache. And for the entire Qing Dynasty, it will be a heavy blow.

Li Xiao Thaksin, such an approach should be a better way to take revenge than simply killing people to vent anger.

Li Xiao stared straight at Wanyan Yechen who was kneeling on the ground, and was speechless for a long time, and finally, he opened his mouth and said lightly: "Wanyan Yechen, my father doesn't talk nonsense with you." If you are willing to surrender to our army, then my father can give you a chance to live. If not, the entire Lushun City is full of soldiers, and my father will not be left behind, and all of them will be killed! You think about it. ”

Wanyan Yechen raised his head, his slender eyes, brown and yellow pupils, full of suspicion, a suspicious look.

Hearing that Li Xiao actually had the intention of recruiting himself, Wanyan Yechen didn't feel his heart move.

Wanyan Yechen originally thought that Li Xiao would be like the rest of the Ming army, after finally capturing the Manchurian soldiers, he immediately beheaded the imperial court to ask for merit, but he didn't expect that Li Xiao's intention was to accept all the more than 2,200 Manchurian soldiers under his command, but he was really surprised.

Wanyan Yechen sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that Li Xiao's ambition was far greater than that of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

So, do you really want to take refuge in him? Wanyan Yechen carefully calculated in his heart.

From this point of view, from this point of view, since then, he has completely surrendered to the Tang Army and worked hard for the Tang Army, which has become the only way out and the only choice.

Besides, this Li Xiao has such ambitions, there will be a lot of big and small battles in the future, and if he can serve him loyally, he will not worry about not having the opportunity to be promoted.

Hmph, damn it, it doesn't matter who he works for, isn't it all about getting promoted and making a fortune, and sealing his wife and son? Since the road to return to the Qing court has been cut off, it is also the best way out for himself to serve the Tang Army and fight for a future in the Tang Army.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Yechen gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Since Tang Guogong is so high-minded, if he is not interested in the bottom, wouldn't he be asking for his own death?" I am finished with Yan Yechen, and I am willing to serve the adults and the Tang Army from now on! ”

Li Xiao smiled: "Very good, Wanyan Yechen, you can go right in time and serve my Tang Army, this father is really pleased." There is a saying that those who know the times are handsome, and with your martial arts and talents, you will definitely be able to find a better future in our army in the future, and you will be promoted to become rich. Come on, untie him. ”

When the soldiers next to him untied Wanyan Yechen, Liu Guoneng, the deputy general of Xingzhong Town, also sneered and said next to him: "Wanyan Yechen, even if you know the current affairs, do you know that the original generals of the Qing army, such as Chata, Ebilun, Karamu, Samushka, etc., have been loyal and serving since they joined Lord Li, and now they are all important generals in our Tang army." As long as you work hard, your future official position may not be below them. ”

Liu Guoneng said lightly, but it caused an uproar in Wanyan Yechen's heart.

He asked with a pale face, "Aren't Chatta, Ebilun, and Samushka all killed in battle?" Why did they all serve in the Tang Army? ”

Liu Guoneng laughed and said: "You idiot, that Qing Chief Taiji, in order to calm people's hearts, he deceived you like this." It is not difficult for you to have a chance to see them again in our army. ”

Wanyan Yechen smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.

After the rope was all untied, he knelt down in front of Li Xiao and said loudly: "The slave has finished Yan Yechen and has seen Tang Guogong." ”

Li Xiao smiled and helped him up, and then asked Wanyan Yechen and other Qing troops to take them down first.

At this time, all kinds of situations in the city have also been counted by the Supervision Department.

According to the inventory of the city treasury, a total of more than 800 taels of gold, more than 44,000 taels of silver, more than 30,000 stones of grain, and a lot of other armor, weapons, and ordnance were seized.

According to statistics, there are about 8,000 people in Lushun City, most of whom moved from villages and towns in Jinzhou and nearby prefectures and counties after the Qing army massacred the city that day.

"The general ordered the people of the city to give an hour to bring their luggage and belongings, pack their own bags, and then together with the surrendered Han soldiers and Qing troops, they were escorted by a general army of our army, and all of them boarded the ship and returned to Dengzhou, Shandong. If you don't comply, you will be killed! “

"Order!"

As soon as Li Xiao gave this order, the whole city suddenly cried and shook the sky.

It's just that under the cold blade of the Tang army, no one dared to disobey Li Xiao's order.

The people of each family, helping the old and the young, dragging their families with their mouths, carrying large and small luggage, crying in a low voice, gathered in the city square from various streets and alleys.

When the more than 8,000 civilians were escorted to the square, there were civil servants of the Tang Army's Supervisory Department who stood on the stage and announced to them the Tang Army's policy and where they were going next.

After the governor and civil servant finished speaking, the people immediately began to whisper.

"Taiwan? We want Taiwan? What is Taiwan? ”

"Uncle Chen, didn't you hear clearly? The civil official said that it was in the territory south of the Ming Dynasty, just opposite Fujian. It is said that when we get over there, those who are willing to farm will be given ten acres of land per family, and those who are willing to go to the workshop to do things and those who are willing to do business can also be free to do so, so that the livelihood of our people does not have to worry. ”

"Well, I hope so. Since this southern Liaoning fell into the hands of the Qing captives, we look forward to the arrival of the king every day, but I didn't expect the king to finally come, but he wanted to force us to leave from the land of our ancestors. “

"Daddy, what do you have to give up. We are in this Golden State City, there is no land and no job, relying on those full people to work as hired laborers to make a living, not to mention the tired work every day, if you don't do a good job, you will be whipped and scolded by these Manchurians, and even cut off your head, where is this life of people? It's better to go to Taiwan, there is a field to plant, there is work to do, and no one comes to beat and scold us, even if we leave this homeland in southern Liaoning, why is there anything reluctant? “

"That's it, Master Wang does this, isn't there no way? In this land of Golden State, the two countries are at war, and the swords and soldiers are endless, how can our people survive. It's better to go south to Taiwan to live, at least you can try to be stable. Didn't you listen to what the civil official said, growing rice over there, one acre of land can produce at least two stones of rice, and two seasons a year is 40 stone of grain, but the life of this family is happy and worry-free. “

The people chattered and discussed, everyone's faces, from the initial panic and anxiety, gradually turned into the color of anticipation and yearning, and the crying that was originally clear and audible was no longer audible.

In the twilight, all the people and the Han soldiers and the Manchurian Qing army who had been captured by the Tang army left the ruined east gate and traveled all the way east to Lushunkou, boarding the ships returning south to Shandong.

After sending them to Dengzhou, these sailor ships would immediately return north to meet the Tang army in Jinzhou.

It's just that after these people and the captured Qing army arrived in Shandong, what awaited them was a different fate.

The common people will be sent to Jeju Island first, and then transferred from Jeju to Taiwan, while those Qing soldiers will be sent to labor camp first, and then decide how to use it next according to the situation.

According to Li Xiao's request, the soldiers and horses of the former Dongjiang Town, such as Xu Erxian's troops, were reformed through labor for about half a year, and then scattered and assigned to various units of the Tang Army, starting with auxiliary soldiers, and then slowly promoted to war soldiers.

And those Manchurian soldiers, all sent to Tielong City to dig iron ore, is expected to be a year of labor reform, during this time, to complete the sinicization and identity change, and then also dismantled and assigned to, the Tang Army's existing various Manchurian troops.

As for Xu Erxian and Wanyan Yechen, they were all sent to the Pingnan Battalion in Taiwan, serving under Li Dingguo's account, and receiving the discipline and management of the Tang Army's superintendents.

In the middle of the night, the entire city of Arthur finally quieted down.

It's just that in the command room of the Tang Army, which was temporarily served by the Lushun official mansion, there was a bright candle. Li Xiao and Liu Guoneng are nervously discussing the next further actions.

"Lord Li, to be honest, I really didn't expect that our army's attack on this Lushun City would be so smooth. This battle is so fucking cool. Liu Guoneng said to Li Xiao with a smile.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "The reason why our army was able to win this battle so quickly is nothing more than two reasons. ”

"Oh, I'm willing to hear about it."

"These two reasons, one is that our army's artillery is sharp, and it can directly collapse the city wall of Arthur hundreds of paces away, which is the basis for our army's rapid victory. The second is that Yan Yechen failed to deal with it, first, he could not abandon the city in time to escape, and second, he did not dare to fight with our army to the end. ”

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Liu Guoneng recognized it very much, he nodded, and asked Li Xiao again: "Tang Guogong, then how should our army act next?" ”

Li Xiao pointed to the map on the wall: "Our army is here, it was originally a sneak attack, so we need to hurry up and act." In the next two days, our army was divided into two divisions, one of which attacked from Lushun to the north, and conquered Muchangyi, Qingniwa, and South Guam all the way, until finally captured the county seat of Jinxian. The other is to seize the time to sweep the four fields of Jinzhou, collect all the people and grain in various places, and let them and the rest of the people in the states and towns be transported to Dengzhou in a unified manner. “

When Li Xiao said this, a ruthless color crossed his face, and he said coldly: "As for all counties and towns, as well as villages and fields, they will all be destroyed, burn if they can be burned, and demolish if they can be demolished, and we must make the entire Golden State become a white land and ruins!" ”

Liu Guoneng promised loudly, and then asked Li Xiao: "Lord Li, then in your opinion, how long will it take for the main force of the Qing army in the Qing court to arrive?" “

Li Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then when Yan Yechen attacked our army, he had already sent cavalry to Shengjing and other prefectures and counties to move reinforcements. In the opinion of this officer, the neighboring states and counties have insufficient troops, and they may not be able to come to the aid of Jinzhou, and our army should not have any substantial threat in Jinzhou. ”

Li Xiao paused and replied: "It will take at least two days to report the news from Jinzhou to Shenyang, and then the land of Shenyang will send people to Liaoxi to report to the emperor Taiji about our army's invasion of Jinzhou." And Huang Taiji, who got the news, could arrange for the Qing army to rescue urgently, so that it would take eight or nine days at the earliest for the main force of the Qing army to rush to Jinzhou. And these eight or nine days are enough for our army to completely destroy Jinzhou. “

Listening to Li Xiao's analysis, Liu Guoneng admired it very much.

With an extremely comfortable face, he hadn't spoken yet, but he heard Li Xiao pointing to the map, and said with blazing eyes: "There is a way, and you have to look back at Shu." If everything goes well, after our army has swept away the entire Jinzhou, we can also seize the time and directly attack the Fuzhou Acropolis in the northwest, so as to completely destroy the two places of Jinzhou together, and give this Tartar Qing court an even heavier blow! ”
