Chapter 145: Breaking the Castle
It must be explained that scholars will be treated preferentially wherever they are, although Jiannu is barbaric, but they also need scholars, so the scholars in Liaodong, except for a limited number of backbone, after being brutally slaughtered for resisting the brutal rule of the old slaves, the remaining scholars are basically used by Jiannu, such as the documents of the army and the government, the housekeepers of the rich households, etc., and even the western seat of the Tartars, so these scholars are regarded as accomplices of the Tartars, and they are also degraded as slaves.
Under the rule of the Black Armor Army, slaves have no other way than to be upgraded to civilians because of their military merits, so these Tartars and traitors are degraded to slaves, and basically there is no hope of getting rid of slaves in this life, which can be regarded as Yang Wenli's selfishness, he said that all people are equal, but in fact, he is still unwilling to let them go easily.
The soldiers publicized the conditions for the logistics department to recruit scholars in various prisons, and those students bravely signed up one by one. The environment in this prison is too bad, except for the Liu family, almost all the upper class people in the city have been reduced to slaves, you can imagine how crowded the prison is, almost full of people, and there is almost no place to stand.
"According to what you have done in the past, you should have been put to death, but God has the virtue of a good life, and my black armor army does not want to kill more, so I will reduce all of you to slaves to see the aftermath.
Those who are willing to help our Black Armor Army are counted as civilians for the time being, and they can take their families out to live alone, and there is a small amount of Fenglu to support their families.
For further policy, I have to ask the Grand Commander before I can tell you.
Remember, although you and your family are temporarily free, you and your family are still slaves and are not allowed to leave the city at will, and those who are caught will be severely punished......"
The soldiers released those scholars from the prison and brought them to Li Huaixuan, and when he counted as many as one hundred and thirty-five, his heart was immediately happy, but he still did not forget to warn them.
"Thank you, my lord, for your magnanimity, the minions and others know that they are guilty and dare not ask for more." These soft-boned scholars all knelt down and worshipped, at this time, they have also become traitors, and they can no longer be high.
"Hmmm! Get up! Those who work hard, the official will not treat those who are wrong, and if they steal and cheat, the official also has thunderous means to deal with them. ”
……
With the addition of these 1350 scholars, the work of storing the property was progressing very quickly, but it had to take three days, so the work of the servant army to check and make the books had to be postponed for a few days.
……
Now that current affairs have changed dramatically, Liu Xingzuo is no longer a garrison in Fuzhou, so he also let out the garrison mansion and invited Yang Renyue to move in.
Fuzhou Gangke, there are many things, but several chief officials don't have to be respectful in everything, and it is the same to sit in the garrison and give orders. Therefore, soon after entering the city, the brothers Yang Renyue and the Liu brothers sat in the garrison mansion drinking tea and chatting.
"General Liu, although the Grand Commander has appointed you as the commander of the servant army in advance, the specific military rank and military position have not been detailed, and I can't confer the title on you, and besides, you must also go to Changsheng Island to meet the Grand Commander in person, this is the rule.
Now that there is nothing to do, it is better to do it sooner rather than later, I will send a slave to take you to Changsheng Island to meet the commander, I don't know what General Liu wants? While chatting over tea, Yang Renyue made a request.
"It should be! You're welcome! It is an honor to have the privilege of meeting the Grand Commander. Since he has taken refuge in the Black Armor Army, Liu Xingzuo is also a bachelor, so he agreed in one bite.
Liu Xingzuo really wanted to see the legendary commander, the two had never met, and they were separated from the north and the south, but the commander said that he had been friends with him for a long time, and it was very strange anyway. Moreover, with such a strong team and loyal subordinates, the commander is also very human, Liu Xingzuo is very interested in meeting him.
Liu Xingzuo went to meet Yang Wenli and didn't mention it for the time being, first talked about the officers and soldiers of Yang Rentian's general banner who crossed the sea and landed at Nanxunkou, and there were still dozens of defenders in Nanxunkou, so those Tartars did not escape, but chose to stick to the fortress.
There is no way, the military law of Jiannu is extremely strict, as long as they escape, they will not be able to die sooner or later, and the whole family will be executed, so they can only fight desperately.
The Tartar hedgehogs were huddled in the city, and Yang Rentian's department had no way for a while, because they didn't have any siege equipment. The four-meter-high city wall, although not high, cannot be climbed empty-handed, and the defenders will resist.
After the two Tartars who were skilled in self-armed archery were shot to death by the two Black Armor Commanders with heavy arrows from a distance, the Tartars in the fort no longer dared to show their heads, and hid in the dead corners of the bows and arrows, and the Black Armor Army had no good way to take them for a while.
"Big brother, these Tartars have become shrinking turtles, it seems that we only have to build siege equipment." After scolding uselessly, Yang Renyu said helplessly to Yang Rentian.
"Build what? We don't know how to build ladders and crash cars, and we haven't seen them, so let's build some ladders? Yang Rentian said distressedly.
"Don't be so complicated, it's too time-consuming, just climb the ladder, there are not many Tartars in the fort at all, I am sure to use the ladder to rush into the fort." Yang Renyu said nonchalantly.
"Good! Director Lu, I order your logistics department to speed up the construction of ten ladders, and there must be no mistakes! Yang Rentian saw that there was no way to be helpless like this, so he immediately ordered.
"Obey" Lu Chuanzong saluted a standard military salute and promised loudly, after a long time, he also adapted to the identity of a soldier, and everything was carried out in strict accordance with the military law and order, so these military law rules and regulations were edited by him!
It is not easy to build ten ladders, the materials are, the Liaodong trees at the end of the Ming Dynasty are piled up, the tools are there, the ships are equipped with carpentry tools, the logistics department is naturally prepared, but the people are not professional, no soldier will do carpentry work, to them do ladders, it is equivalent to making them embroidery as difficult.
Therefore, although Yang Rentianbu landed early and besieged Nanxunkou, he did nothing until the afternoon, no, he still shot two Tartars, but it was useless.
This made Yang Rentian anxious, he walked to the scene of making the ladder, and shouted loudly: "Don't chisel, tie it up with a strong rope, otherwise when will I wait?" ”
"Yes"...... The soldiers who were struggling to make the ladder were busy agreeing.
It is very difficult to make mortise and tenon joints with chiseling holes, but it is easy to tie them into ladders with ropes, mainly because the materials have been made, and dozens of soldiers have done it together, and ten rough ladders have been made in less than half a pillar of incense.
Before the siege, Yang Renyu made tactical arrangements for his officers: "The first army is in charge of a ladder, the first person to go up rushes up with a round shield on the top of his head, goes up to the city wall, and can defend with a shield to protect the latecomers, and the second person who goes up can use a bow and arrow to strike remotely, and the people below must use a bow and arrow to protect the impacting person, you know?" ”
"Got it," all the officers replied aloud.
In fact, he was too worried, the Tartars were just trapped beasts, they were too few in number, and there was nothing they could do about the fully armored Black Armor Army, and even more helpless was that they couldn't go to the city at all, and the arrows of the officers above the commander of the Black Armor Army were too accurate, just like a blocker, so the Tartars could only watch the Black Armor Army climb the simple ladder to the fort wall, and then the Nanxunkou Forts fell.
