After repelling Yan Lou's room, Xu Shiyang turned around, gathered the scattered troops a little, and then captured Gaizhou in only two hours.

Then he spent three days tying up all the people of the city and taking them out of the city.

The final statistics show that there are more than 200 Tartar men and Banding in the city, a little more than 300 Han men, and another 600 Khitan, Xiren, Bohai and Goryeo.

In addition, there are more than 3,000 Tartar women and children, 4,000 Han women and children, and a little more than 7,000 women and children of other ethnic groups.

More than 15,000 people in total.

And that's just the income of Gaizhou.

Most of the people do not live in the city, not in the Great Zhou in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone the Jurchens in Liaodong, and most of Xu Shiyang's harvest is still obtained outside the city.

He plundered almost all the villages and forts on both sides of the Qing River near Gaizhou, plus Gaizhou, and received no less than 50,000 women and children before and after, which was definitely a rare harvest for Qi Province, which lacked population.

Moreover, this time, Xu Shiyang did not select and kill all the captives as usual, but ordered to kill all the male Jurchens over the age of 12 among the captives, regardless of whether they were raw or cooked.

The others didn't kill any of them this time.

According to the previous rules, all the Han men, women, and children in the city were released and scattered to live in various parts of Qi Province.

Women of Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Goryeo and other ethnic groups scattered to Qi Province as commoners, and were sent to meritorious people as concubines.

Jurchen women, as slaves, were directly handed over to the human market for sale.

As for the children of foreign races, whether they were Khitan or Jurchen, they were all concentrated in the newly established labor reform schools.

These labor schools do not teach knowledge, but are supervised by the New Army, and these foreign children are instilled with loyalty to the Han Chinese and hatred of aliens (including their own) every day, and then military education and productive labor within their capacity each occupy half of the time.

Xu Shiyang was accustomed to making the best use of his resources, and since the children of the Han people should sharpen their knives and devote a lot of their time to studying, and then go to better jobs when they become adults, then the children of foreign nationalities should remain illiterate and use their blood and labor to serve the new regime.

Of course, Xu Shiyang will leave a path for everyone to be promoted - even the slave class.

He planned to gradually implement a new merit system, such as a soldier going to the battlefield and beheading the enemy, which can be counted as a merit; Farmers have cultivated state-owned land for ten years and paid taxes on time and in quantity, and each dump can be counted as a credit; Workers complete production tasks on time and with good quality, and every 1,000 working hours can be counted as a credit.

The calculation of the credit will be fine-tuned, such as the income from clearing the land and cultivating the land, and the different types of workers, the level of credit should be somewhat different.

According to Xu Shiyang's vision, a slave could be promoted to a commoner after receiving twenty merits, and a commoner could become a commoner after receiving ten merits.

In this way, foreign slaves could also have the opportunity to become real people, which was very difficult, but anything was possible if there was hope.

Xu Shiyang's income in Gaizhou City is mainly in property.

Gaizhou was the residence of the Jurchen Bo Ji Lie Wanyan Lou Room before, and his mansion was in Gaizhou, this time Xu Shiyang conquered this place and captured all the wives and concubines of the Wanyan Lou Room and several young sons.

Of course, for Xu Shiyang, a Jurchen family member is not worth paying too much attention to - it is not much different from an ordinary captive, just the same way to deal with it.

However, the wealth looted by Yan Lou and his Jurchen nobles for twenty years all fell into the hands of Xu Shiyang without exception.

Even the real Jurchens actually did not have much money, because Liaodong was exhausted, and all the necessities of life, including grain, cloth and salt, were all expensive, and most of the wealth obtained by the robbery of ordinary Tartar armor soldiers was consumed on these ordinary commodities, and finally deposited in the hands of nobles at all levels.

Jurchens like Wanyan Lou Room were extremely vigorous, and Xu Shiyang searched all kinds of gold, silver, jade and jewelry worth 500,000 yuan from his home at one time.

Other treasures, such as all kinds of copper and iron coins, silk satin furs, bronze porcelain, etc., are estimated to have about 500,000 yuan.

And Xu Shiyang's belongings in Gaizhou City are harvested by the whole family, and it is estimated that there will be three million yuan.

Even for today's Qi Province, this is a considerable wealth.

Moreover, Xu Shiyang found a surprise that was somewhat extraordinary: this kind of war actually does not lose money.

In the past, Xu Shiyang's impression of war was that "when the cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold". Fighting a war is indeed a huge amount of work, especially now that the Qi army has more and more firearms, once it enters a state of war, the troops' salaries, the consumption of gunpowder and lead bullets, the damage to weapons, and the pensions of the casualties are all large expenses that are enough to cause headaches.

However, now it seems that if you want to do this battle every time, and you can get a few thousand horses in addition to grabbing a large number of people, wealth, and livestock, then the war expenditure is relatively not a big problem.

In particular, two days later, when the Qi army on Lianyun Island began to go home by boat separately, a clipper ship delivered new news:

The Zhiyuan Brigade commanded by Lin Chong and the Yuyuan Brigade commanded by Sun Li maneuvered by boat and ambushed the retreating Wanyan Lou Room less than 20 miles north of Wuyi Village.

This Jurchen Bo Jilie, who had just eaten the defeated battle, did not expect that there would be such a powerful new force ambushing him in front of his hometown, and the newly defeated armored soldiers under his command who were terrified almost collapsed on the spot, and Wanyan Lou Room could only use the previous armored cavalry to resist the repeated attacks of the two field brigades.

The results speak for themselves.

Lin Chong and Sun Li beheaded 617 levels, captured more than 500 Tartars, and a mentally broken Meng An led more than 300 armor soldiers to surrender to Sun Li's entire system.

Although Wanyan Lou still escaped, the two brigades captured 1,500 war horses and thousands of sets of armor and soldiers.

The latter is not important to Xu Shiyang, but in this situation, the Tatars have lost so much ordnance, and it is almost impossible to replenish them in a few years.

After receiving the news of the victory, Xu Shiyang endured the excitement in his heart and handed the good news to several brigade commanders who were excited.

"Now it's a real win."

徐世杨 says:

"Inform the whole army, let's go home."

There was a moment of silence.

Then, Li Jinghuai suddenly shouted loudly: "Victory!! ”

"Victorious !!"

Feng Sanhu, Xie Zhen, Luan Tingyu and others cheered at the same time.

Then there were the officers of the battalions and companies, and finally even the ordinary soldiers cheered:

"Victorious !!"

……

In September of the first year of Longdao of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xu Shiyang led the new army of Qi Province to crisscross near Gaizhou in eastern Liaodong for 40 days, successively beheaded more than 5,000 Jin troops, captured more than 50,000 people of various ethnic groups, and liberated 15,000 plundered Han people.

Xu Shiyang ordered all the Tartar heads to be piled up in front of the gate of Gaizhou City, and built into a Jingguan to deter the Tartars.

Subsequently, the Qi army set fire to the city of Gaizhou, burning the already empty Gaizhou into a blank field.
