After a scolding of his head and face, Zhang Qiang sat back in the chair, took the tea handed by the guard, and took a sip, the tea moistened Zhang Qiang's throat, and the heat made Zhang Qiang's whole body comfortable, Zhang Qiang closed his eyes and felt the fragrance of the tea.

He Jinzhan knelt on the ground tremblingly, and he didn't dare to come out.

After a long time, Zhang Qiangcai said: "I still have to be punished," He Jin sighed in his heart, Zhang Qiang said leisurely: "But you can wear the guilt and make meritorious service," He Jinxin put it down, just don't die.

Zhang Qiang sat up and leaned over to look at He Jin who was kneeling on the ground, "At present, the seven counties of Jinhua Mansion have been recovered, and even Longyou County in Quzhou has been occupied by me, but Yongkang County is still in the hands of the Qing army, where are the five thousand Qing troops, give you ten days to take Yongkang County and recover the entire Yongkang County, can you do it?" ”

"This," He Jin was embarrassed, five thousand Qing troops, even if those were all Han army flags, all of them were local guards, but the enemy relied on the city to hold on, and he only had more than 300 old men under him, this Zhang Qiang wanted to send himself to death, but now he didn't agree, Zhang Qiang gave an order, he would be pushed out and beheaded, which made him feel embarrassed.

"Allow you to select a thousand Qing soldiers among the captives, but you must take Yongkang County for me, otherwise, I will chase you to the end of the cape, and I will also kill you." Zhang Qiang said coldly.

He Jin heard that there could be a thousand Qing soldiers to take prisoners, and immediately said: "The last general obeys the order, and he will definitely take Yongkang County," although he didn't know if he could do it, but he knew that if he hesitated a little longer, this guy would not be polite to himself, he suffered a lot of crimes in the prisoner camp, and he shuddered with the article that Zhang Qiang had made, "Work to death with great crimes," he shuddered.

He found out from where Lin Yangcheng found out that Ruan Dacheng was beheaded by Zhang Qiang, Chen Jia was beheaded, Cha Gang was imprisoned, Sunit fled, Qiu Quan was beheaded, Ma Bao and others were abused in the prisoner camp, and they couldn't survive and die, most of the Qing soldiers captured in this battle were beheaded, and the remaining 7,000 people were screened and added to the ranks of the rebel army, and the rest, including the 4,500 prisoners captured before, were sent to do work, clean up the city, dig roads, farm, and open mines, and at least 50 died every day because they were overwhelmed, stoned to death, or executed by the rebel soldiers who oversaw the work.

This made him not have the slightest sense of resistance.

"Let's go down." Zhang Qiang picked up the teacup again, and Zhu Dayou walked over, "Lord He, congratulations, please." ”

He Jin stood up, laughed, and walked backwards out of the lobby.

After coming back, Zhu Dayou took an account book and said to Zhang Qiang: "My lord, the seizure statistics have been out." ”

"Read" Zhang Qiang waved his hand and whispered.

"In this battle, our army captured a total of 100 carts of grain and grass for the enemy, totaling 20,000 stones, 2 taels of silver, 150,000 taels, 7,500 pieces of armor, 8,700 weapons, 1,200 horses, gunpowder, 350 barrels, 27 cannons, 15,000 pieces of cloth, 1,000 catties of iron ingots, 1,200 catties of copper ingots, 2,500 guns of firearms, 200 muskets, and 35 short-fired guns."

"In addition, there were 25 siege vehicles, 350 ladders, 1,700 horses, 1,700 furs, 15 carts of various materials, 2,200 enemy soldiers, 25 craftsmen, 30 blacksmiths, 5 captured merchants, 320 Ming people, and 150 young women."

Speaking of this, he stopped and smiled at Zhang Qiang and said, "My lord, you see, there are no maids in the mansion, do you want to choose some to come in and serve you." ”

Although Zhang Qiang is a man, he is still an otaku, and he also looked forward to the day when there would be a group of beautiful women around him, but thinking that those women were captured by the Qing army and ravaged, if he recruited them into the mansion again, it seemed that he was a little too dirty, his morality did not allow him to do this, and waved his hand, "They are also quite pitiful, just give them some silver taels and let them go home." If there is nowhere to go, send someone to settle them, let them sew clothes for the army, do what they can, and don't embarrass them. ”

Zhu Dayou immediately smiled and said, "My lord is benevolent and righteous." ”

Zhang Qiang smiled, "Anything else?" ”

Zhu Dayou was just about to report again, when he heard a voice, "Report, Lord Zhou Congee is in a hurry." ”

Zhang Qiang frowned, worried in his heart, could it be that the Qing army came from Taizhou or Lishui?

Zhu Dayou saw Zhang Qiang's face change, full of worry, and a little anxious, and shouted, "Come in." ”

A herald ran in and knelt down in the hall, "Report to your lord, Lord Zhou Congee will report to you, Lord Du Ge led his troops back to Wuyi County, Lord Zhou Congee sent a villain to report, how to arrange Lord Du Ge." ”

Zhang Qiang stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, okay," he was just when he was employing people, but he didn't expect Du Ge to come back, and now he has another general, at least a confidant general, He Jin, Lin cultivated the loyalty of these two people, and it can't be compared with Du Ge at all.

"Send someone to bring Lord Du Ge over, and I will summon him here." Zhang Qiang said.

"Yes, yes." Zhu Dayou shouted, waved his hand, and went out with the herald.

Du Ge's return brought Zhang Qiang only a moment of joy, but he had to consider many things, Jinhua Mansion was already guarded on all sides, and the prisoners could be used to work, open mines, farm, build roads, clean up the garbage in various counties, repair the city walls, build houses, there was no shortage of people, although nearly 9,000 captives were added to his troops after screening, but there were still more than 10,000 captives who could be used to do these things, the key is that there are not so many talents who manage civil affairs and make overall arrangements for these people.

Zhou Congee is half of it, but his main job is still a general, leading troops to fight, these generals in Zhang Qiang's hands are all promoted by some ordinary soldiers, combat experience, and knowledge are not very high, except for Zhou Congee, most of them are illiterate, or reckless people who recognize a few words, Du Ge has returned, he is better than others, You Haibo's henchman, the training is still good, but he is still an ordinary general, not a civil affairs talent.

It would be nice if You Haibo also came back.

This expansion of the army, so that Zhang Qiang's troops directly expanded from more than 3,000 troops to more than 15,000 troops, the team has grown, but the combat effectiveness has declined, this is inevitable, although those Han army flags, the Ming army has a certain combat effectiveness, but no one will systematically train these soldiers, fight a tailwind war, once the enemy is several times his own, then whether it is the soldiers of these ordinary generals under his command, or the soldiers who have just expanded, they will not last long before they collapse, so he is very anxious now, He wanted to settle down and conduct a series of training to stabilize the morale of the troops and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

And the best way is to have their own riding and cutting instructor skills, these trained soldiers have shown good discipline, persistence, will not collapse so easily in the face of the enemy, can fight the enemy for a long time.
