459 It's hard to say anything about retreating
If it was the original Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely be reluctant to throw it away after capturing Liaoyang, and it is very likely that he would choose to follow Shen Yongmao's advice.
However, today's Emperor Chongzhen has got a truth from the history that he has heard and seen, and after it was relayed by Wei Mulan, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but admire: "If you lose your land, you will lose your land; Save people and lose land, people and land survive! It is really worthy of Your Majesty, to be able to say such an easy-to-understand reason, it is really my luck to be Ming, and the blessing of Dongjiang! ”
After sighing, he saw that Wei Mulan had no more will, so he ordered loudly: "Come, according to Your Majesty's will, open a warehouse and release grain!" ”
The materials in Liaoyang City, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't take all the materials with him no matter what. Rather than burn it, it is better to distribute it to the people of the city. This kind of thing, for Emperor Chongzhen, who has crossed over from later generations, is as accustomed to doing this as drinking water.
At this time, Liaoyang City, although the war has ended, is still under martial law. When the people in the city heard the sound of fighting, they hid in their homes and were worried. But whenever there is a war, the common people will definitely suffer, and this is basically an exception since ancient times.
Later, I heard someone on the street shouting that the Ming army was coming, and they also won the Jianyu. This made many people suspicious, and the Ming army suddenly took Liaoyang, which seemed to be a pipe dream.
They don't have the courage to go out, but they can peek through the cracks in the door. Most of the people patrolling the streets were original Han Nu and Koreans, and there were not many Ming troops. They couldn't believe what they saw, and most of the family hid in the house and discussed.
To tell the truth, although the people of Liaoyang were not very interested in the previous Ming army rule, after the rule of Jianlu, they found out that although there were various problems in the previous Ming army, they were at least regarded as human beings, they were of the same clan, not the last people, and anyone could bully them. Therefore, they also welcomed the arrival of the Ming army in their hearts.
But every time the Ming army dealt with Shang Jian, they also knew how bad. Even last year, Jianyu went to Guannei to grab a handful, which made them despair of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and felt that the Ming army could recapture Liaoyang, which was really impossible.
The opinions of each family could not be unified, and many people were guessing what was happening outside with anxiety about the future, only to hear the shouts of opening the warehouse and releasing grain.
This time, as long as the people of Liaoyang heard the shouting, they immediately put down all the arguments. For them, eating is the number one thing. Whether they believe it or doubt it, under the temptation of eating, they all cowered and went out with the containers at home.
Slowly, a person appeared on the empty street, and when he saw the soldiers standing on the street, he habitually nodded his head.
The order had been handed down, and the soldiers said to them with a smile on their faces: "Lord Zhongcheng has an order, you will go to the official office square and receive food and supplies there." Don't mess around, don't rob, there's something for everyone! ”
So, the crowd slowly converged on the official square. Along the way, the patrol soldiers did not commit any crimes, which made the people of Liaoyang more and more courageous.
When they arrived at the square, they couldn't help but get excited when they saw the corpses of the mountain-like Jianyu piled up not far in front of the official office, as well as the corpses of other groups of soldiers who usually worked hard to help Jianlu. Sure enough, I won! If it weren't for seeing is believing, the long-standing impression of invincibility would not be so easy to reverse.
At the warehouse on the edge of the square, there was already grain laid out, and there were soldiers there to put it. When each of the people came forward to receive the grain, the soldier in charge of the distribution would say to them: "By the emperor's order, I will distribute the grain to you!" ”
The people of Liaoyang, who received the grain, looked at the heavy grain in their hands, remembered the corpse of Jianyu they had seen along the way, and determined that the sky in Liaoyang had changed, and they couldn't help but cry one by one. In Liaoyang City, a call for sincere thanks to the emperor finally sounded.
This opening of the warehouse to release grain is not just about distributing grain. All but what the army needed was distributed. It wasn't until noon that the matter was over.
And at this time, the Ming army, which had seized the time to rest after the war, also rested a little. Lu Xiangsheng then ordered a public trial of Babuhai and other prisoners.
Obviously, this kind of thing must be Emperor Chongzhen's idea again. The people of Liaoyang were very obedient this time, and they swarmed out again, gathered in the square, and complained about Jianyu with blood and tears. Lu Xiangsheng didn't even need to order the execution, and directly threw the prisoners among the people, but it didn't take long for all the prisoners, including Babuhai, to become a mess of meat.
Out of the resentment accumulated in their hearts, the people of Liaoyang fell to their knees one after another, either shouting long live the emperor or offering Lu Xiangsheng an immortal tablet. The prestige of Da Ming and Lu Xiangsheng reached its peak at this time.
Wei Mulan was by Lu Xiangsheng's side, and selectively took a few photos of what had just happened and passed them to Emperor Chongzhen, and put them in the folder for the liberation of Liaoyang. These are all valuable historical materials in the future, and they are of great historical significance.
But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly in his heart, there was no way, he had to announce bad news.
After the scene quieted down, Lu Xiangsheng said loudly: "The imperial court is not ready to recover Liaodong, but you can rest assured, the emperor is personally doing his best and is making every effort to prepare, and the day of recovering Liaodong must not be far away!" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people of Liaoyang recovered from their excitement and were replaced by confusion. They don't know what Governor Denglai means when he says this?
Only a few people whose brains turned quickly thought of the distribution of supplies and the guerrilla style of the Dongjiang Army in the past, and faintly noticed something, and their faces changed a little.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the governor of Na Denglai say again: "The emperor knows that the people of Liaodong have suffered too much, so he sent an order to the official to raid thousands of miles to teach Jianlu a lesson and warn them not to act recklessly." If you dare to oppress the people of Liaodong, that will be the end!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the lump of meat with his finger, and then continued: "There are also non-Jurchen people, who helped the Jurchens to kill the people such as Er, and the official has already destroyed them and avenged those victimized people!" ”
After saying this, he pointed to the corpse mountain again. Some of the previous Han troops, those identified by Gao Yingyuan and Han Wu among the Han slaves, had already been executed in order to prevent a possible backlash.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard about it in the morning, he secretly said that it was a pity. Otherwise, these people are also worthy of public trial, even more valuable than them in the Babu Sea. It's just that Lu Xiangsheng didn't realize it, so they disposed of it themselves.
