Tao Dawu was captured alive, the rest of the rebels surrendered one after another, and Li Guo led his troops to control Yiyang City. [[〈八一小{Say〔〔网 }]].>8)1)Z]).? Ｃ］Ｏ〉Ｍ

Outside the city, Mo Liqin led an army to kill Xiao Lianhao's rebels and collapsed.

Because the number of rebels was too large, there were about 60,000 rebels fighting out of the city, and although the rebels suffered heavy losses, Xiao Lianhao took the opportunity to escape and led two or three thousand soldiers to Ningxiang.

The remaining rebels saw that they could not fight and could not escape, and the main general ran away again, so they surrendered to the officers and soldiers one after another.

Mo Li ordered the people to escort these rebel prisoners into Yiyang City, cleaning up the battlefield and controlling the situation in Yiyang City.

It was busy until noon, and the results of this battle were not counted.

In this battle, a total of more than 6,000 rebels were killed, and Xiao Lianhao led 3,000 people to escape, and the rest surrendered to the official army.

The rebels seized countless grains, grasses, supplies, horses, weapons, etc., and harvested a lot.

As for the New Liao Army, the losses were not large, only more than 800 people were killed, and most of them were killed in the siege battles at the beginning, and in today's field battle, the New Liao Army suffered almost no casualties.

At this time, the situation in the city had been controlled and stabilized, all the remnants of the rebels had been searched out, and all the city walls had been replaced by soldiers of the New Liao Army.

As in the past, every time a city was recovered, Moli quickly sent people to post a notice to calm the people, so that everyone should not panic and stabilize order. Starting from Zaoyang, every time after recovering the city, there was also a piece of military discipline of the new Liao army drawn up by Moli along with the Anmin proclamation.

The military discipline of this new Liao army was formed by Mo Li borrowing from the three major disciplines and eight points of attention of the people's army in later generations, and the core content is mainly three points: First, all actions are subject to command. This is natural, what kind of army is if you don't listen to the command. Second, don't take a stitch from the masses. This is also the difference between the New Liao Army and other so-called official armies, and the New Liao Army will never allow soldiers to ask for things from the people. 3. No one shall accept a private banquet from the government or the squires in his private name.

In addition, combat bravery is the most important criterion for promotion in the army, and it is not allowed to molest, and it is forbidden to buy and sell by force.

As soon as these three disciplines and eight points of attention came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the people, and there was a lot of discussion. When did the army of the Ming Dynasty have a general discipline posted, and Mo Li also wrote it in the back, welcome all walks of life to supervise, such as the existing new Liao army soldiers have violated discipline, welcome to report, once verified, the whistleblower will be heavily rewarded.

In this way, the people are all praised, clapping their hands, and Moli is not pretentious, every time he goes to a city, he organizes a military police picket team to accept the people's reports and complaints and suggestions at any time, and also deals with several cases of soldiers' violations of discipline, mostly some minor violations of discipline, but the handling of these soldiers has won the appreciation and support of many people.

Now, whether in Zaoyang, Yicheng, or Changyang, the strict military discipline of the new Liao army has left a strong impression on the people, and many people have begun to call them the Mojia army, comparing them with the Qi family army of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang.

Even in Yiyang, Xingdu, Jingmen, Jingzhou and other cities where the new Liao army had not been stationed, the impression left by the new Liao army on the local people was also quite good, because when they passed through these places, it could be said that they really did not commit any crimes in the autumn, that is, they asked the local state capital to raise grain and grass, and the new Liao army did not enter the city, but only sent a small number of transport teams to be responsible for transportation, just to avoid disturbing the people.

And this time, in addition to the Anmin proclamation and the military discipline of the new Liao army, Moli also sent people to post a recruitment list to recruit talented people to assist in handling various affairs. At the same time, new recruits were also recruited and trained, and the strength of the new Liao army was enriched, and preparations were made to recover Changsha, Yuezhou, Wuchang and other places.

Yiyang was occupied by the rebels for several days, many of the original officials were fleeing, dying, and surrendering, and now the new Liao army has just recovered Yiyang, and many administrative affairs are not handled by manpower, if the imperial court is reappointed, the daylily is cold, and a temporary administrative system must be re-established as soon as possible to restore the local administrative order in Yiyang.

Fortunately, Mo Li's current identity is the governor of Huguang, and this local administration is also under his jurisdiction, so there is nothing wrong with his approach. In the past, he would have had no right to interfere in these local affairs.

After posting the notice, the new Liao army restored order in the city while identifying and selecting those rebel prisoners.

First of all, for those who were forced to obey, after making sure that they had not done any evil deeds, they all taught a lesson and then released them to go home, and let them go home. Of course, if they are willing to join the new Liao army, they are naturally welcome.

This group accounts for a large proportion, more than 30,000 people. Among them, more than 4,000 people are willing to join the New Liao Army and become a member of it.

The weapons and equipment and spiritual outlook of the new Liao army amazed them, and there were many enthusiastic people among these young and strong, seeing that the new Liao army only took two or three days (the real battle was only half a day) to recover Yiyang, and there were no casualties themselves, such combat effectiveness, how could such military prestige not make them fall for it? It is not difficult to understand that these young men also want to be such soldiers who can fight well.

In this year, only if you are strong enough, can you not be bullied by others and live well.

Except for the more than 4,000 young men who joined the New Liao Army, the rest of the people went home to live.

In addition, there are nearly 30,000 rebels raised by Tu Yongzhong, the king of Shuntian, since he went all the way south, and among these people, it is difficult to find a few who have not been stained with the blood of the people.

Of course, these people could not simply be let go, and dozens of the most heinous rebel leaders were taken to the open space outside the city to be beheaded and displayed to the public after their crimes were confirmed, so as to deter the thieves.

Most of the rest are guys who have done some bad things to a greater or lesser extent, and they can't be released or killed, so they have to be temporarily imprisoned in their cells.

But you can't keep these people in vain, not to mention that there are so many people in the prison. Considering that there is about to be a series of battles with the rebels, I am afraid that the current strength alone will not be enough to support the next big battles against bandits. These people, trained to do so, even as a reserve, are a good supplement.

Therefore, Mo Li ordered these prisoners to be reorganized into the army as a reserve. Excluding the old, weak, wounded, and sick, there were still 21,000 people, plus more than 4,000 young and strong people who went first, all of them were organized into five new barracks, and told them at the reorganization meeting that if they wanted to live, they had to be brave in exchange for atonement for their crimes.

These captives had no choice but to undergo rigorous drills under the leadership of the officers and veterans of the new Liao army in preparation for the reconquest of Changsha.

A few days ago, the exact news came that on the same day that Moli recovered Yiyang, more than 100,000 troops led by Zhang Xianzhong, Tu Yongzhong, and Hu Jianqing also broke through Changsha City, and Changsha General Shen Gang led his troops to surrender to the rebels.

After Zhang Xianzhong and others broke through Changsha, they occupied the palace of King Ji, and King Ji was nowhere to be found, and the huge wealth hidden in the house was also divided by Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Because Zhang Xianzhong had the most people and horses, and he was the first to attack Changsha, Zhang Xianzhong naturally moved into King Ji's mansion to live, King Ji didn't know where to go, but several of his concubines and concubines were occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, so unhappy. Tu Yongzhong, Hu Jianqing and others didn't dare to say anything.

After hearing the news, in view of the large number of rebels, it was decided to suspend the march to Changsha, and first reorganize and train the prisoners of Yiyang for a period of time before marching to Changsha.

These captives are mostly rabble, and their training will not have any effect for a while and a half, unless they adopt the law of eleven killing, as in Putai, they can stimulate their powerful combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

However, the law of eleven killings is too brutal, it has always been resisted and criticized by public morality, and it is easy to let yourself be infamous for being brutal and unkind, and it has a bad reputation in the court and among the people.

And the eleventh smash law may not necessarily be able to successfully stimulate the combat effectiveness of the troops, it is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, the power will increase greatly, and if you use it badly, it is likely to injure yourself by mistake. Not to mention anything else, just these two or thirty thousand prisoners were forced to hurry, and the riot was enough for the New Liao Army to drink a pot.

Therefore, Mo Li did not plan to use the Eleven Smash Law again, but planned to train them slowly first, and carry out a thorough transformation and transformation of them in terms of ideology, equipment, and physical fitness.

In order to solve the problem of weapons and equipment, when Changyang went south, Mo Li sent people to Lingchuan City, Pingyang Prefecture, to tell Wei Hong, who stayed in Lingchuan, and Lei Luo and others in the firearms battalion, and asked them to start moving the weapons research institute, distillery, and cement factory in Lingchuan to Huguanglai.

Now, with the development of the situation, it is imperative for the new Liao army to expand, and the team has also exhibited soldiers, and this training cannot be left behind. Since it is necessary to train, of course, it is impossible to train empty-handed, and it is necessary to equip more and more advanced weapons such as flint guns as soon as possible.

Due to the long distance, Mo Li asked them to follow the officers and soldiers of Cheng Qingzhu's department, who would go south later, to ensure safety. Because at the same time, there were also Mrs. Yuan, Ruan, Yuan Chengzhi, Lin Guo's mother and son, and others who followed south.

When Yuan Chengzhi's mother and son were first rescued, when everyone was discussing where to settle, they chose Huguang, but they didn't expect that more than a year later, they really set foot in the treasure land of Huguang. Sometimes when I think about it, it's really emotional.

Moli already regarded Huguang as his home base.

As for those old and weak captives, there are also nearly 10,000 people, and of course it is impossible for so many people to raise them in vain.

Now it is the spring ploughing season, Mo Li ordered the people to organize these captives to go to the wasteland and mountains outside the city to open up wasteland and farm, and set up a large government farm, the main labor is these captives, anyway, the free labor does not have to be used in vain, as long as they are given a meal to eat, they can work for you, although it is a kind of exploitation, but it is not a punishment for them.
