Xu Shiyang learned about the battle situation in the north and south roads in the Zhujiazhuang compound:

In the south, the Qingzhou army conquered Hujiazhuang, killed 500 enemies, captured about 4,300 strong men and half dings, and more than 15,000 women, girls and children;

In the north, the Qingzhou army conquered Lijiazhuang almost at the same time, killing more than 1,000 enemies, capturing about 4,000 Zhuangding and half Ding, and about 16,000 women, girls and children;

Here in Zhujiazhuang, the Qingzhou army killed 800 enemies, captured 4,000 Zhuangding and half Ding, and 18,000 women, girls and children;

A total of more than 12,000 strong men were captured by the three roads, and nearly 50,000 women, girls and children!

seized 200 taels of gold, more than 3,000 taels of silver, 80,000 taels of copper, 200,000 pieces of iron, more than 3,000 pieces of silk, and 10,000 pieces of variegated cloth;

In addition, there are 2,000 cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, 10,000 pigs and sheep, and 40,000 chickens, ducks and geese;

More than 100,000 stone of grain!

The Qingzhou army in the three places lost a total of 59 people, more than 200 wounded, and nearly 20 horses.

Even if you don't count the strategic goal of cutting off the Grand Canal, this achievement can be described as a slight loss and a huge result!

Especially the tens of thousands of strong men, if they can be digested smoothly, the overall strength of the Qingzhou Army will definitely step onto a new level.

Of course, there is still a lot of aftermath work to deal with before this, and the other is that the Heqin fleet is about to enter the territory of Qi Province, and Xu Shiyang still has to do a good job of interception.

The aftermath work is divided into several parts, which are carried out simultaneously:

For the high-level leaders of the three canal dock forts, Xu Muhe's opinion was that all the men should be killed, and the women should be given to the meritorious officers as slaves.

Xu Shiyang was resolutely opposed to this, and he made it clear that he would not agree with any opinion of using Han people as slaves, and would rather kill these women and children than allow them to be turned into slaves.

Xu Muhe couldn't resist Xu Shiyang, who held the military power, and could only retreat a few steps in the end.

According to Xu Shiyang's opinion, all the captured upper cores of the canal dock fort were tried by temporary courts, and traitors who committed major acts of defecting to the enemy or abusing and killing their compatriots were sentenced to death.

The rest were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and according to the treatment of ordinary people, they were transferred to Qingzhou to open up wasteland and farm land, and serve hard labor.

If there is no definite evidence to prove that they are guilty of traitor or oppression of the common people, they will be pardoned, but they will be migrated to Qingzhou with the men, and they will be allowed to farm and work as ordinary civilians.

The three Zhuang Ke who are kept in captivity on weekdays, because they can only dance knives and guns on weekdays, can be regarded as some bravery, so they are guilty, and the rest are put into the trap camp for use.

Those with family members also moved to Qingzhou according to the treatment of civilians and were dispersed.

The remaining Zhuang Ding group, which is the largest and most highly valued, Xu Shiyang made it clear that if there is no clear crime, they will all be pardoned.

According to Xu Shiyang's plan, half of the 12,000 strong men should have scattered and migrated to various parts of Qingzhou, renting official fields to make a living.

The other half will also be selected from the strongest and obedient 2,000 men to be put into the new barracks and trained for use.

Xu Muhe didn't have much opinion on how to use Zhuang Ding Zhuangke, but he very much wanted to kill the chickens and monkeys, wipe out the three high-ranking families, and at least give him a certain punishment even if his family members were not slaves.

After all, he is the head of the family, and Xu Shiyang can't completely ignore Xu Muhe's opinions, so in the end he can only agree to let Xu Muhe serve as a judge and try the high-level officials of Sanzhuang.

It is conceivable that except for a few who surrendered voluntarily, most adult men surnamed Zhu Hu Li San will not end well.

Of course, Xu Shiyang didn't want to care about it anymore, he thought that he was benevolent to these vanquished, after all, most of them really deserved the crime of traitors.

Xu Shiyang has a lot of things to do next.

First of all, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who died in battle, Xu Shiyang personally organized the ceremony of sending the soul into the earth to show solemnity.

The wounded soldiers should also be comforted, and the wounded soldiers who have lost their ability to fight, Xu Shiyang originally planned to give them 30 acres of good land and two cows, and let them rent them out to make a living.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this was a reuse of land and draft animals, and there was still a risk of being oppressed.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang changed his approach:

He set aside 100,000 mu of good land and 300,000 mu of wasteland in the newly conquered area in northern Qingzhou, and set up an agricultural company with this as capital, with Xu Mujiang, who had re-emerged from the mountains, as the general manager of the company, to recruit displaced people and arrange production.

Soldiers who are wounded and incapacitated can get a stake in the agricultural company and receive dividends on an annual basis.

In addition, Xu Shiyang built a Invalides Courtyard near the Qingzhou capital city, which was also the main station of the new barracks.

There are several benefits to doing so:

The first is to prevent soldiers who have been discharged from the army due to injuries from being bullied when they return to their places.

Second, disabled veterans living together can be a morale-boosting banner for recruits: they can teach recruits some battlefield experience, and they can also suggest that recruits will provide for themselves even if they are injured as long as they join the new army.

In addition, veterans can also do some manual work within their ability, raise some chickens and ducks, etc., and earn some extra money to subsidize their families.

The burial of the dead is for the living, and the kindness of the disabled is also for the able-bodied.

These tasks cannot be done on a whim, and they can be thrown aside if they can't be remembered, they require long-term and unremitting perseverance, and they also need to constantly find and solve problems.

In this way, the soldiers can feel that their status has been improved and guaranteed.

Then again, what kind of work can be slack?

After determining the treatment of the dead and the disabled, Xu Shiyang asked his father to come forward and personally wrote a notice and posted it directly at the entrance of the military camp and the subordinate prefectures and counties, so as to achieve the purpose of publicizing it.

Then he moved on to the next task.

The first is the further transformation of the Forces nouvelles:

All units separately summed up the experience of this battle, and it was necessary to find out the problems, find out the deficiencies, and improve them. It is also necessary to sum up good experiences and strive to carry them forward in the future.

At the same time, Xu Shiyang separately ordered Luan Tingyu and Sun Li, two cavalry officers, to compile cavalry regulations, Xu Shisong, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao to be responsible for compiling infantry regulations, Gongsun Sheng and Li Jinghuai to compile artillery regulations, and Feng Sanhu to be responsible for recruiting training regulations.

All the regulations must be refined, changed, and standardized in terms of the original military discipline and weapons operation norms, and then handed over to Xu Shiyang for summary and revision, and trial implementation.

Military regulations have their inherent drawbacks, such as over-compliance with them, which can make troops rigid and lack initiative.

But this is a shortcoming that will appear a long time later, and now, if all the troops can fight in strict accordance with the regulations, Xu Shiyang will only be ecstatic, because it means that he only needs to bring a group of farmers in the fields and throw them into the new barracks to revise the regulations for three months, and then he can be put into the army as a qualified cannon fodder.

And to fight manpower, no matter which way of Tartar, it is impossible to fight the Han people.

Another big move is Xu Shiyang's intention to establish a political organization.

The organization, tentatively named the "Guoshi Association", is composed mainly of young people who share his political will, which will be the basis of Xu Shiyang's rule in the future.

At present, Xu Shiyang is still compiling the program, constitution and other guiding documents of the National Scholars' Association, and he plans to start recruiting young people in the territory and building the framework of this political organization once the time is ripe.
