Chapter 343: Surrender and Disarm

"General Xu, General Wang's share has been delivered." King Baseton said respectfully.

"All the female prisoners can be handed over to this one, and the money and property can be handed over to these people." Xu Chengming didn't bother to review the loot, anyway, all the loot was to be used to pay off the debt, and he only needed to send the quartermaster to hand it over directly.

"Lord Wang, I am under Xu Xinsu." Xu Xinsu smiled and came up.

"Hello Lord Xu!" King Baseton also said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm just a grass farmer." Xu Xinsu said modestly.

"Lord Xu is polite!" King Baseton said politely. King Basethong felt that Xu Xinsu could come and go freely in the barracks, and he must also be a character.

"I want to do business with the prince, I don't know if the prince is willing?" Xu Xinsu said.

"Lord Xu is polite, please give me orders?" King Baseton said.

"I heard that there are two or three million people under the rule of King Donghu, I don't know if it's true or not?" Xu Xinsu asked.

"Xiao Wang heard that Donghu has a population of 2.6 million." King Baseton replied suspiciously.

"Don't hide it from the prince, I am a businessman, specializing in selling female slaves, and I want to buy female slaves from the prince, and the price guarantees the prince's satisfaction." Xu Xinsu said frankly.

Xu Xinsu can be sure that Xu Chengming is different from King Baseton, if he wants to rely on Xu Chengming to plunder the women of Donghu, it is a very unreliable thing, Xu Chengming will only provide him with an equivalent female slave at most, then his trip is in vain, and King Basetong is different, they can do something like slaughtering the city, so there is no pressure on them to sell female slaves.

"This ......" King Basethong looked at Xu Chengming, after he participated in the Battle of Ava, his army was about to withdraw to Siam, he did not dare to stay in the territory of the Ming Dynasty for no reason.

"Lord Admiral, I thought that I could let the prince stay in Donghu temporarily, there are some things that we can't do, but the prince can do it." Ma Xianglin saw the opportunity and said.

Xu Chengming is a little clear, he immediately understood what Ma Xianglin meant, let him set up troops to loot people and property, he was really hesitant, and even if he gritted his teeth and did it, he would leave a handle, and now this matter is done by King Basetong, he can not only complete His Majesty's will, but also leave no handle for people, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

"Lord, after the capture of Ava, I will ask Your Majesty to allow the prince's army to stay in Donghu for half a year, and we will ask for both men and women of appropriate age, and in return, all the property obtained during this period will belong to the prince, including the money obtained from the sale of the women, but the prince will provide me with 500,000 men." Ma Xianglin said.

"This ...... Of course you can, but if Your Majesty blames Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang can't afford it. King Baseton said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty means to keep the land and not people, this matter is inconvenient for us to do, you also know the situation in the Ming Dynasty, but the prince is convenient, if Your Majesty is to blame, we will take care of this matter." Ma Xianglin assured.

"Forgive the little king, this is ......," King Basethong asked suspiciously.

"Ma Xianglin, the son of the Governor of Chengdu and the Governor of Qin." Xu Chengming introduced.

"Long admiration, long admiration." King Basetun said politely, "General Arima has come forward, and this matter is naturally fine." ”

"Lord Wang, there is one more thing that needs the help of the prince." Xu Chengming said.

"Please General Xu say it directly, Xiao Wang doesn't dare to disobey." King Baseton said happily. He originally thought that assisting Daming to send troops to Donghu this time would be a loss-making deal, but he didn't expect to make a lot of money in the end.

"There are signs of rebellion in Donghu, and tonight I need the prince's cooperation to disarm all the troops and imprison them." Xu Chengming said.

"Yes, General. But what time is it set for tonight? King Basetun asked.

"Sub-hour." Xu Chengming said.

……

At three o'clock, Bodao was invited to Xu Chengming's camp.

"I wonder why the general summoned me late at night?" Bodao asked, confused.

"Now there are rumors about the barracks, I wonder if the general has heard of these rumors?" Xu Chengming asked.

"Please forgive the General!" Bodao plopped and fell to his knees.

"I know that this matter has nothing to do with the general, I just hope that the general and the general will cooperate to find out the person who spreads the rumors." Xu Chengming smiled and lifted Bodao Daodao.

"Definitely, definitely, I don't know how the general needs the last general?" Bodao asked.

"Tonight, all the troops are disarmed, and this general will send people to review them one by one, and no one is allowed to possess weapons until the review is clear." Xu Chengming said.

"No, I'll go and deliver the general's order right now." Bodao said immediately.

"Don't worry, this matter must be made after perfect arrangements can be implemented, otherwise it is extremely easy to cause mutiny." Xu Chengming said.

"No." Bodao replied respectfully. He didn't dare to ask more questions at this time, he had to clear up the relationship.

……

At the moment, there was a sudden cannon fire outside the barracks, and the entire barracks was surrounded by the Siamese army and the Ming legion. The soldiers all woke up from their sleep, and many were at a loss as they looked at the torches everywhere.

At this moment, Bodao held a loudspeaker and personally ordered: "Recently, rumors have spread in the military camp, and General Xu hopes that the whole army will cooperate to find out the people who spread rumors. ”

At the same time, Ma Xianglin led the dragoons to cut the entire barracks into several areas, and the barracks were now full of sounds: "This time, only the people who spread rumors will be investigated, and the rest of the people are not guilty", "No one is allowed to carry weapons, and they should leave the barracks in order to stand by in the designated place"......

The whole process went very smoothly, except for a little commotion at the beginning, the rest of the time the troops were quiet and orderly. This may be the so-called Stockholm effect!

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the disarmed soldiers began to be sent to the empire in batches to build roads. The explanation given by the Ming army was that the soldiers would be sent to the Chengdu Governor's Mansion for training. Although many of the soldiers were skeptical of this explanation, many more chose to believe it.

In order to divert the surrendered troops, the Ming army did not attack Ava for the next few days, and it was not until October 21 that the Ming army began a new offensive against Ava.

This offensive was personally led by the Ming army, and the Ming army and the Siamese army agreed that the Ming army would be responsible for breaking through the city gates, and the Siamese army would be responsible for clearing the city. In other words, the Ming army was only responsible for breaking through Ava, and the Siamese army was responsible for slaughtering the city, and seventy percent of the property obtained went to the Ming army and thirty percent to Siam, but the extremely rich wealth of the Donghu royal family must be left to the Ming army.

After the first three days of onslaught, Xu Chengming was already very clear about the defense of Ava City, including the location of Ava City's artillery, the situation of the city wall, the situation of the defenders in all directions, and so on.
