On the second day of stability in the city, Lu Hanqiang ordered the whole army to wear linen and filial piety, and held a grand burial for the people who died in the war. Heaven's Voice'.『 ⒉

As soon as this order came out, the people of the whole city were grateful to Dade, but the last thing Lu Hanqiang expected was that his tens of thousands of troops were all relieved, their psychological blows, and their ability to withstand was far inferior to that of decision-makers, and their guilt needed to be vented, and this time Lu Hanqiang gave them a chance to vent, so they voluntarily wore linen and filial piety, and held a grand funeral for these compatriots who they killed with their own hands.

For such a result, Lu Hanqiang was very pleased, and couldn't help but let out a long breath: "The army I led has not finally become an emotionless killing machine, it is still a group with the warmth and coldness of the world, as long as there is a conscience, as long as there is a soul, then in this world, your own group can go further." ”

In this siege, a total of 3,000 compatriots died, including those who were slaughtered by Jiannu. The original public cemetery in the west of Guangning City, can no longer bury these souls who have died of grievances, so Lu Hanqiang decided, he will dig a huge pit, bury the three thousand bodies, the corpses of his comrades collectively, and then order Hua Shuliang to join the army, allocate 1,000 taels of silver, in front of this so-called mass grave, set up a tall monument, the inscription is Lu Hanqiang personally wrote, very simple, for the rise and fall of the country, for the unification of the Ming Dynasty and the people who dedicated themselves, immortal. This move once again touched the Han people who lived after a hundred battles, and the people's hearts were completely inclined to the Ming Dynasty and completely restored Lu Hanqiang's reputation.

After all this was over, Lu Hanqiang personally interrogated the Quang Ninh county magistrate, a civil official with a pale and weak face. At that time, he was frightened unconscious countless times, and was woken up with cold water countless times, and now he was forced to kneel in front of Lu Hanqiang, who was already a walking corpse and lost a little soul.

Lu Hanqiang looked at this person and asked lightly, "Do you understand Chinese?" ”

As a result, this county order replied indifferently: "This official is also a Han person, this official is a Jinshi and the first in the second year of the Apocalypse, and was sent here at that time, when Guangning County was still in the hands of my Ming Dynasty, as a result, the Jin rose, the court was weak, and Guangning was lost, and I could only compromise and seek perfection, hoping to save the lives of a group of Han people, so I surrendered to Houjin, and was wronged as a traitor, and made this county order, what was the result?" Later, Jin was changed to the Manchu Qing, and the Manchu Qing entered the city, and in order to deter and disobey, they slaughtered a batch, and I couldn't do anything, but when the official army subdued Guangning County. So what? Under the pretext of Tong Jiannu, he slaughtered another batch, and so on and so forth, this lord, do you know? When I first took office, there were 20,000 people in Quang Ninh County, and 70,000 women and children, but now? You come to kill a batch, he comes to kill a batch, and now there are less than 10,000 left, this lord, I don't want to beg you for my life, because I have long been numb, and life doesn't mean much to me. I beg you, my lord, not to kill again, the people you just killed defending the city, whether they were coerced or not, I can think that you are helpless, but now that they have become the people under your rule, you can spare their lives. Saying that, he kowtowed to Lu Hanqiang respectfully and standardly, which made Lu Hanqiang feel very uncomfortable.

For such a person with a conscience, Lu Hanqiang sighed in his heart, and nodded lightly, "Actually, I don't kill people, not only do I not kill people, but just now, I also buried those people who were unjustly killed by me and erected a monument to commemorate him, but since you have such a conscience, then I hope you can still do one thing for me." ”

This prefectural order doesn't matter, "My lord, let's talk about it." ”

Lu Hanqiang said: "I will let you go to Montenegro County, and I will let you inform the defenders of Montenegro County of what I did in Quang Ninh County, so that they know what kind of thunderbolt I will be if I drive the people to defend the city as a meat shield?" ”

Regarding Lu Hanqiang's request, this county order readily agreed, "As long as there are fewer deaths and injuries for the people of Liaodong, this official is willing to run this leg for the adults." Then he stood up and walked straight out.

At this time, Lu Hanqiang squinted his eyes and suddenly said, "If you can come out of Montenegro alive, if after my investigation, you really did not harm the people of Guangning County, and I will always keep the position of the county order of Guangning County." ”

When this county order heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, and then he said without replying, "Guangning has now returned to the arms of Daming, I am already satisfied, my mission has been completed, if I can come out of Montenegro, I think I should go home, my home is in Dengfeng, Henan, where there are my wife, children, fathers, and elders, I haven't seen them for a long, long time?" ”

Lu Hanqiang asked playfully, "Don't you have a small family in Guangning?" ”

The county magistrate said lightly, "Why do I want to marry and start a family in such a barbarian place, I am a dignified Han Chinese, my roots are in the Central Plains, and the land of my ancestors is in the Central Plains." Then he walked away.

What is this? Is it the backbone of the Han people? Lu Hanqiang smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say.

When he left, the county government of Guangning County became Lu Hanqiang's supervisor, and in the evening, Lu Hanqiang summoned his generals again, and held an emergency military meeting in the lobby of the Yamen of Guangning County.

Lu Hanqiang habitually put his hands behind his back, paced in the middle of the lobby, paced slowly, thought slowly, and said slowly, "This time, we seized the county seat of Guangning by means of thunderbolts, such a degree should be unexpected by Huang Taiji, then, I think according to Huang Taiji's military strength, he will think that Guangning is the outpost battle with me, and Montenegro will be the rear of Guangning, therefore, I don't think there will be many defenders in Montenegro, this should be common sense, so I decided not to give Huang Taiji a little chance to react, Starting tomorrow, the army will continue to assault Montenegro and take Montenegro in one fell swoop, and then we will garrison Montenegro City, preparing to resist Huang Taiji's counterattack, and completely take Quang Ninh, Yizhou, and Daling River. Connected into a solid iron triangle, this land in western Liaoxi will truly become our stable rear, therefore, this time I will not ask for your opinions, I decide, Jin Hengguang's column will return to the army in Daling River, while repairing, while monitoring the Jiannu in the southeast direction, and then send an order to Zhao Xiaoming of the garrison Daling River, let Zhao Xiaoming with the help of Xu Jie join the army, assault Yizhou Wei, and take Yizhou Wei to me completely. Then, Zhao Xiaoming's column was stationed in Yizhou, and after occupying Qinghemen, it was guarded against the north, and Bac Ninh was now stationed in Hengguang's column, and Brother Chen Che was the garrison of Guangning and served as the county commander, and the main force of my brigade and Brother Da Zhuang, as well as 15ooo cavalry, killed Benshan County, and when the time came, we could tell the emperor victory. ”

The generals agreed.
