At the same time, Li Guo was making some arrangements with Gao Yigong.

Walked 100,000 old and weak women and children, and the weakest ones left behind were at least forty-five to fifty strong old men who could dig pits and build walls, and the ancient old people were born to do physical work, plus Li Guo did not treat them harshly, and cared for them from time to time, so their hearts were very high, and their loyalty to the loyalty camp was also high. Tossed outside the Jingzhou Mansion for several days.

Several trenches were dug, several forts and camps were built, and the 200,000 young men who had been brought by the loyal battalion were put into them, so that they no longer lived in those dens and straw huts, and each of them received weapons, at least a kitchen knife or a bamboo spear in each hand, and some people carried homemade bows and arrows.

It can be said that Li Guo completely armed this group of people as soldiers this time.

There were also some strong women in the army, who were used to carry supplies and cook in the army, do laundry, chop wood, and boil water.

It can be said that the Dashun army is an expert in the management of the people, and there is no one better at managing the huge number of people from all directions, towns and villages.

Looking down from the sky, the entire Jingzhou Mansion is a huge military camp, or a place of labor.

From the prefecture city, to the county seat, to the towns, there are people working, either repairing the city wall, digging the moat, or repairing the river, and then building the camp, or harvesting crops and fruits in the field, and cutting down trees.

Every place seems to be preparing for a big war before it comes.

All this was mastered by Zhang Qiang, and at the same time, it was also summarized by the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Department, and then sent to Xiao Fei's headquarters, it can be said that the Huaxia Army knows more about the situation in Jingzhou Mansion than Li Guo.

Looking at the costumes in the city, there are about 30,000 elite soldiers and 70,000 strongest young men working, and about a few thousand old people and women are fighting as a logistical support army.

In the county towns around Jingzhou Prefecture, there are thousands of regular soldiers and thousands of people in each county town, and there are more than 10,000 troops stationed on the main roads in all directions, and a large battalion has been built to protect these county seats, ready to rescue these county towns at any time.

In Qianjiang County, in the direction of Xiaogan, there are 30,000 troops stationed and 50,000 people working, ready to meet the Huaxia army at any time.

And just when the Huaxia Army ended the siege of Chen Youzheng and successfully eliminated Chen Youzheng's Anyway Army, and was busy reorganizing and screening those people, Xiao Fei came and said to Zhang Qiang: "Governor Dadu, Li Guo sent a letter of surrender, hoping to surrender our army." ”

"Ah, he's thinking of surrendering us?" Zhang Qiang was surprised, when will Li Guo succumb to others?

Did he receive the news that Chen Youzheng was surrounded and annihilated?

Was he scared?

He learned that the Huaxia army had surrounded him on all sides, and his Dashun army had realized that it was irrational to fight to the death with the Huaxia army?

"Did he really surrender to us?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Xiao Fei said: "He sent a messenger, that messenger was the original official of Yongli Daming, and then the Qing army called, he surrendered to the Qing army, and then He Tengjiao fought back, he was anyway, after Li Guo arrived, he surrendered Li Guo's Dashun army, judging from his behavior, he was not treated by Li Guo, otherwise he would not be sent as a messenger, so that even if we kill him, Li Guo will not feel distressed, because he is not a general or official of their Dashun army." ”

"What did the messenger say? Does Li Guo have any other requirements? For example, what about the officer or his troops? Zhang Qiang knew that Li Guo surrendered, and people like him, or people who wanted to make a difference, couldn't surrender so easily, they were the kind of people who would never surrender to the enemy until the last moment, and would even commit suicide to show their will.

"The envoy said that it is okay for Dashun to surrender and be loyal to the Huaxia Army, but the Huaxia Army must ensure that Dashun is still self-contained, retain all the officers and soldiers of the Dashun Army, and provide weapons and artillery for the Huaxia Army, and the Dashun Army can fight against the Qing Army, but not with the Yongli Daming, and he Li Guo wants to become a brigade commander of the Guards Brigade of the Huaxia Army, and the official position is at least Admiral." After that, Xiao Fei said a lot of words.

It's nothing more than officials, soldiers, money, territory, and power, but they don't want the Huaxia army to control them, they are in charge of their turf.

These conditions are simply slaughtering, surrendering can surrender so righteous and awe-inspiring, and I am not ashamed, I really think that the Huaxia Army is pinched by persimmons, soft and not sloppy.

Xiao Fei said to Zhang Qiang tentatively: "Or, let's promise them first?" Delay for a while, let's drive He Tengjiao out of Hubei Prefecture first, He Tengjiao is a dog skin plaster or a cunning old fox, if you let it go, maybe what harm will it cause us? We are about to fight Hong Chengchou's Lu Guoqing troops, solve the problem of Hubei Prefecture as soon as possible, or appease them and let them be honest, and then we will send people into their barracks and slowly clean them up with soft knives? ”

"Hehe," Zhang Qiang smiled at Xiao Fei, "Do you think I might agree to such a thing?" Since the Huaxia Army became an army, has it not been weak to anyone? I don't want to leave the problem to be solved later, they will also be a big trouble in the future, I am not Chongzhen, nor Yang Guodong, let alone Yang He, or Sun Chuanting, I can't get rid of it, let them resurge, only war, only elimination is the purpose of the Huaxia Army, if you can't completely surrender, let's talk with them with knives and guns, and never things that can't be done with guns can be negotiated with mouths. Do you understand? ”

Xiao Fei was sweating profusely, "Yes, Metropolitan Governor, I understand, I will immediately arrange for them to be encircled and suppressed, and I will not agree to the conditions they propose." ”

After Xiao Fei left, Zhang Qiang and Gu Yuesheng were busy cleaning up Chen Youzheng's mess.

Chen Youzheng's stall is generally easy to say.

The dead and wounded bodies were buried by the people, the wounded were transported back to Xiaogan for the Chinese army's military doctors to be treated, and the seriously wounded were transported to Wuhan Prefecture to settle down, where to set up a prisoner camp for the wounded, and where to recuperate.

After the lightly wounded were treated, they settled in Xiaogan County, and let them do what they could, such as training the streets with the militia, such as cleaning the courtyard and cleaning the barracks, which were guarded by the militia first and sent to the prisoner camp later.

The prisoner camp has garrison officers who screen them, and where they will be screened based on their previous experience, those who have surrendered to the Qing army have been imprisoned for three years, those who have been Chen Youzheng's anti-army have been imprisoned for two years, those who have harmed the people have been imprisoned for five years, and those who have committed heinous crimes will be imprisoned for ten years, and this punishment is also applicable to the anti-rebel army who was originally the Qing army.

Those who are innocent have been following the anti-Japanese army, fighting the Qing army, and have a good reputation for one year, if they intend to join the Huaxia Army, they will be imprisoned for five months, and then sent to the low-level ranks of the militia to become militiamen, and those who have the ability to serve as soldiers in the high-level militia ranks, and the generals will be imprisoned for three months, and then directly join the garrison troops, become officers of the cold weapons unit, and be promoted and used.

Like Chen Youzheng, after a long conversation, he took the initiative to move closer to the Huaxia Army, so he was directly appointed as the commander of the garrison battalion in a place, transferred back to Jiangxi Prefecture, and asked Mi Chun to watch him, and assigned him a group of personal guards to watch him and protect him.

A large number of elderly and weak women and children were detained for a month, and after some screening, they were directly resettled in nearby villages and county seats, or they were released back to their hometowns.

They will be monitored by the local militia in their hometown or new village, and after a year, if there is no serious misconduct, they will be released from surveillance, they will be registered, and they will become ordinary people, enjoying the treatment of ordinary people in the Huaxia Army.

Zhang Qiang thought that after Li Guo was solved, he would put those relatives back as well, let their families reunite, and honestly become the people of the Huaxia Army.

He believes that these people are just coerced, there is not much evil, and even some people hate or dislike the Dashun army, they still love the Huaxia army, there should be a lot of such people, the Huaxia army can quickly stabilize this place, restore the people's livelihood here, and let the officials sent to start the people's livelihood construction as soon as possible, so that the Huaxia army does not need to subsidize them, after all, it takes a lot of money, manpower, and material resources to restore the local ecology and people's livelihood, and to fight. But one by one, there are many places where money is needed, so it is what the Huaxia Army has to do to make them self-reliant and generate more taxes for the Huaxia Army.

But such a process, Zhang Qiang thinks, will take at least a year to complete completely.

The Qing army and He Tengjiao, Li Guo's loyal battalion was not easy to toss in Hubei Prefecture.

The Huaxia Army had to be exempt from taxes in Huzhou, Guangzhou, and Hubei Prefecture for one year, or even one and a half years, two years, or three years, so that their livelihoods could be completely restored.

It took nearly ten years of hard work for the Chinese military to build Zhejiang Prefecture beyond the strength and appearance of the most prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty, Fujian Prefecture is slowly catching up, is getting rid of poverty, getting rid of war, getting rid of blood transfusion, and has contributed to the rise of the overall national strength of the Chinese army, and Jiangxi Prefecture is still under construction, although there are some taxes, but also fell on the local area, but also faced the threat of the Southern Ming Kingdom, and have to bear part of the militia and village guards military expenses, there are still a large number of regular army units stationed in the local area, Guard against the Southern Ming Kingdom and the Yongli Ming Dynasty.

Half of Guangdong, half of Anhui, and half of Suzhou are completely on the border, and within the scope of the war, the development of people's livelihood is slow, and the increase in population makes this development even slower.

Just when Zhang Qiang had been busy for a few days, and the Huaxia army was shifting its focus to besieging Li Guo's Dashun army, Xiao Fei ran over again.

"Governor Dadu, Li Guo's envoy is back, he proposed this time that he can accept the reorganization of the Huaxia Army, but some senior officers, generals, and officials of the loyal battalion hope to be pardoned by the Huaxia Army, and at the same time he himself hopes not to be held accountable, and hopes to continue to lead the troops."
