Chapter 209: Atonement [Fifth Update]

[Thank you for 'Kangkang You' 588]

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Chen Ming had already led a large army down the river. But the Fu Han Army still had troops in the three towns of Wuhan, and it was the Green Battalion prisoners of war that Chen Ming captured. One by one, their braids were forcibly cut off, and their autographs and handprints were left underneath a large, large notice.

Each team is organized with one for each team.

The above or cursed the wild boar Pikang Mazi, and at the same time scolded the Manchu **** is not as good, Qianlong is completely rubbish.

If this thing is obtained by the Manchu Qing government, according to the map, the home addresses recorded on the roster of the officers and soldiers of the green battalion are very complete, and their whole family will be doomed.

Liu Wu had proposed to Chen Ming that the faces of these captives be engraved with anti-Qing and Han restoration, forcing them to follow the Fu Han army and completely part ways with the Manchu Qing. I have to say that this is a very vicious and vicious plan. [Thank you book friends, I am a little chapter wolf for your support (*^__^*) hee hee ......]

As long as the face is engraved, it is to run to the edge of the sky, and as long as the Manchu Qing is still sitting in the world, it will not be good. Even if the traces are destroyed with a soldering iron, as long as the matter spreads, it is also in danger of losing its head at any time. This method is really easy, very easy, and you can get a huge effect in a short period of time.

But in Chen Ming's heart, the army is very sacred. Even if someone carved words on his face, he hoped that it would be the eight-character army instead of the flower-legged army. [The Flower Leg Army is Zhang Jun's troops, and there is one of them in the kneeling statue in front of Yue Fei Temple. Tattoos were popular in the Song Dynasty, and some tattoos were also a symbol of men's bravery. But the Flower Leg Army is not, Zhang Jun is greedy for money, enslaves the sergeant as a laborer, and works for him to build a building. In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping on the way, Zhang Jun then ordered a brocade pattern to be tattooed, from the arm to the ankle all over the body, the folk called: the flower leg army.

And there should be a lot of people in the eight-character army who know. Wang Yan, serve the country with all his heart, and swear to kill the gold thief! 】

He believes that although Liu Wu's method is very effective, it will lead to a bad phenomenon: the army will be invisibly divided into two parts, and the soldiers who take the initiative to join the army will discriminate against the captured soldiers. In the long run, it is definitely not conducive to the building of the army.

The 'liberation soldiers' of the year did not say that they would be discriminated against in the ranks, and they were pointed at and ridiculed. This is the premise for the rapid movement of the liberation soldiers into the ranks.

Of course, when Chen Ming sits firmly in the country, no, as long as the general's mansion has laid a foundation, he can completely let the captive soldiers retire, and it seems that the discrimination has been eliminated. But can the word 'discrimination' really be eliminated? The original goal is gone, and the role of habit is very huge and stubborn, for example, if you change the goal, you will continue to discriminate against another goal. Will this really have no effect on the long-term development of the army?

After thinking about it, Chen Ming still rejected Liu Wu's devil-like and seductive proposal, and chose one notice after another.

The proclamation proved to be effective. Two or three thousand captives, after signing this proclamation, all lost their souls one by one.

For these soldiers at the bottom of the Qing army and the leaders at the lowest level, Qianlong, Kang Mazi, and Wild Boar Skin are all heavenly figures, not to mention insults and curses, their daily conversations will not appear in these people's names at all. The distance between the two sides is too large. Just like the average fart in the 21st century, would they talk about the ****** committee members all day long? If we imagine the gap between the 21st century and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in terms of information, society, and so on, we can see how shocking such an impact is for these low-level soldiers and grass-roots soldiers.

Chen Ming left two battalions in Wuchang, one each in Hanyang and Hankou. These troops, together with two or three thousand captive soldiers, escorted 20,000 captives of the banner people to stay in the three towns of Wuhan, like a sweet cake that firmly attracted the eyes of the Sichuan Green Battalion.

After Chen Ming took Wuchang, he stayed in the three towns of Wuhan for more than ten days, and the Sichuan Green Battalion would not also stop in Jingzhou, and when Chen Ming led his troops down the south, six or seven thousand Sichuan Green Battalion soldiers had already 'recovered' Qianjiang and were ready to move towards Hanchuan.

Just as the green battalion in Jiangxi is rapidly assembling towards Jiujiang and Hukou, Anhui has also transferred back men and horses from the Henan battlefield to aid Anqing. There are also green camps in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all of which are assembling along the Yangtze River.

Chen Ming broke through the Huangzhou Mansion, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jiujiang in Jiangxi.

He also didn't know how long his troops left in the three towns of Wuhan could delay Hubei. This is not just a war consideration, Chen Ming also has political considerations. How many of the 20,000 flagmen will die? How many died in the Qing soldiers and died under the knife of the green battalion? The occupation of Wuchang by the Fu Han army and the loss of Wuchang are completely different in meaning for the whole world. Not to mention that the node of the three towns of Wuhan was occupied by the Fu Han army, how much impact it could have on the operation of money, grain, and material resources in the Manchu and Huguang areas. This place was stuck by the Han army, and the Qing army could not use the Han River and the Yangtze River, and the northward transportation line of Huguang money and grain was almost paralyzed.

Almost all of the bannermen captured in Jingzhou City were left behind in the three towns of Wuhan, and only some of the vest soldiers and their dependents were taken away by the Fu Han army. Of course, Chen Ming didn't let these vest soldiers fight for him, but let these vest soldiers be breeders. In the future, they will be part of the logistics unit of the Fuhan Army Horse Team.

At the same time, he also did this to weaken the strength of the Qing army. If these people run away, they will be a scourge in the future. Chen Ming, the infantry of the Eight Banners, didn't care, of course, there were other arrangements, not only for the infantry armor, but for the entire young and strong class. As for these vest soldiers, they should be honestly prisoners. Following the team down the river, in the cavalry battalion that was loaded with horses, the newly arrived prisoners of war of the Eight Banners performed well. Let's not talk about the ability at work -- in all fairness, Chen Kaishan didn't think that these people were much better than ordinary horsemen, but Chen Ming had already stuffed these people in, and Chen Kaishan had nothing to say -- at least these prisoners of war were all honest and decadent.

A few days before the departure of the army, the will issued by the Qianlong Emperor has been transmitted to Chen Ming in time by the secret camp, Chen Ming immediately let people let go in the capture of the bannermen, but more than 20,000 Jingzhou bannermen did not believe it, until the eve of the departure of the army There was a notice from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the three towns of Wuhan, and these non-nationals who were expelled were like twenty years old, completely depressed.

Chen Ming understands the psychological feelings of these Jingzhou banner people at this moment. This is like the Red Russian old man in World War II, the front line was defeated, and the soldiers entered the German prisoner camp as prisoners one by one, but they did not really want to betray the motherland, and at this time, the radio station reported that their families were beaten as traitors and suffered the deepest misfortune. That feeling is similar to the feelings of the people in Jingzhou Banner at the moment.

They were abandoned and abandoned, and their master and son further knocked them all to the ground, expelled them, and ceased to be bannermen, which can be said to have deprived them of their last dignity and hope.

Now the 20,000 bannermen are divided and arranged in Hanyang and Wuchang, and Hankou is not arranged, and many people's spirits are numb and stunned. Every day in Wuchang, news came to Chen Ming on the boat, reporting the news there. Chen Yongsheng, who was sitting in Wuchang, of course, noticed the mental state of these banner people.

Chen Ming didn't feel unbearable for what happened to these 20,000 people. didn't completely slaughter them, Chen Ming was already kind-hearted. It is also good to be at the mercy of them like this now. Compared to the bloody sins created by these people's ancestors, what is this?

Even if it is atonement, it is at best a profit. The real big head is yet to come. (To be continued.) )
