Chapter 218: A Great Victory

"It's good!" After Zhu Bayi pondered for a while, he nodded quickly, "When Zhang Shicheng and them are gone, I will immediately send someone to send you across the Yellow River!" But you have to remember to me, don't harm the people when you get there. Otherwise, even if Zhu wants to pull you, the other red scarves will not let you go! ”

"Yes! The last will obey! Wang Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to receive it.

Since he heard about Zhang Jiusi and Wang Kerou, he has been planning to get a piece of land for himself, and now that he has finally got his wish, how can he not be overjoyed? ! As for not harming the people or anything, even if there is no Zhu Eighty-one to advise, he will pay attention to restraining military discipline. There is no other reason, Gaoyou's declaration makes it clear. Whoever wants to harm the common people can be swallowed up by others at will. And if he didn't harm the people, if the other Red Turban princes wanted to annex him, they would slap the face of the person who presided over the alliance in the first place, and Zhu Tuhu and Sesame Li and the others would definitely not stand idly by.

Zhu Eighty-one didn't know that Wang Xuan had already seen the stakes in his stomach, and seeing that this person agreed happily, he couldn't help but smile and admonished: "Since you are from a local noble family, you should know that if the land rent is high, the tenants would rather leave their hometowns than rent land from your family again." In fact, governing the place is almost the same thing, if you treat the people too harshly, it is equivalent to forcing them to flee. It's better to collect less taxes and accumulate some popularity. If there are more people, there will naturally be more food, and other miscellaneous harvests will also rise with the tide. ”

"The lesson of the chief manager is that the last general will definitely keep these words in his heart and do it at all times. In the past few years, he followed the people behind the joy and did not spend money to help the abuse, and it has been seen that wherever those people rise up, almost all of them are due to the excessive exploitation of the government! Wang Xuan hurriedly saluted again and swore an oath.

"Well, it's good that you understand!" Zhu Bayi glanced at him and nodded approvingly. This Zhu Highway is decided, and it is not counted as one Sun Bofu to be supported, but two more Wang Xuande will be raised, maybe there will be Zhang Mengde and Li Mengde in the future. But it's better to do this than to let these good men die in your own hands. It was stronger than forcing them into a corner, and they had to go back to the Mengyuan court. (Note 1)

"In my Huai'an army, many generals are from the north of the Yellow River. If General Wang goes over there, please take care of it! Lu Lu had thought that it was a completely different matter, and he found an opportunity to knock in a low voice.

He has always disagreed with Zhu Eighty-one's practice of raising tigers. However, in front of the big guy, he must maintain the authority of this grandson-in-law, so he can only use some small means to prevent trouble.

When Wang Xuan heard this, he nodded his head hurriedly, and swore that he would take good care of the brothers' families, and would never dare to let everyone have worries. Otherwise, Lu Changshi could raise troops to cross the river at any time to ask for guilt.

"If only you understood!" Lu Luzeng also glanced at him and said in a completely different tone.

If the gambling oath worked, the Great Yuan Dynasty would not have caused a lot of smoke. However, on the occasion of this great victory, there is no need to say more about some bad things, and it will not have any effect to say them. Therefore, the old master just knocked casually, and then turned his head to look at the other situation on the battlefield.

At this moment, the work of exterminating and destroying troops on the battlefield has basically come to an end. A large number of Mengyuan soldiers were escorted by the Red Turban Army, which numbered less than one-tenth of them, and marched in groups to the temporary prisoner settlement on the side of the canal. There are no less than 20,000 people who have been gathered, and it looks like a large area of black pressure. 6 And some of them who had been caught from farther afield, walked up to the edge of the canal.

However, most of these captives, except for the appearance of wolf bèi, did not have much fear on their faces. Everyone knows that the person in charge of the Southern Expedition this time is Zhu Butcher. Zhu Butcher has always been willing to stay and stay when he is caught as a soldier, and he is unwilling to stay and be released at the expense of the journey. We will never do such things as killing people and abusing prisoners. If you're lucky, you might be able to mix in a few full meals and some travel expenses, which is even more cost-effective than when you were in the army.

Even the captured Mongol soldiers did not appear to be depressed after being caught. Zhu butchers are not easy to kill, whether Han or Mongolian, soldiers or officials, if he is caught, as long as he does not arouse the anger of the people, at most he will be fined a sum of ransom silver. The Yangzhou area is relatively wealthy, and there is little turmoil, and those Mongolian soldiers are not even bothered to go to the city, so naturally they don't have time to do anything to arouse the anger of the people.

The only one who looked more frightened was the captured Tanma Red Army. As a nomadic people who were conquered by the Jurchens and Mongols successively, the Khitans have long since lost their homeland. Serving as a soldier is almost the only way out for these people. Even if Zhu Eighty-one was released on the spot without any ransom, they didn't know where they should go and what else they could do? And if they continue to eat the food and salary of the imperial court and go against the Huai'an army, that spray is hundreds of projectiles, and it is engraved in their memories like a nightmare. Therefore, they are like walking corpses, with empty eyes and lost souls.

"Don't worry, God won't die of hunger!" Many of the Huai'an Army auxiliaries who were responsible for guarding the prisoners were converted from the previous prisoners. Seeing the appearance of the Tanma Red Army, he immediately guessed their general thoughts. For the sake of the overall tranquility of the prisoner camp, he took the initiative to step forward and comforted in a low voice, "Look at my brother, I was caught by the Huai'an army on the edge of the Yellow River in the first place. Aren't you living a good life now? Don't worry, our manager Zhu is a bodhisattva, and he will definitely not give people a way to live! ”

"I can only fight!" The appeased person was a hundred households of the Red Army, who looked up at the other party and responded stupidly.

"Then join the Huai'an Army! Look at my brother's body, as long as he stays in the auxiliary camp for two or three months, I'm afraid that he won't be able to be a soldier?! Even if you can't be an officer, staying in the auxiliary barracks is still an officer, and the military salary is not less than that of the soldiers, and the top will not deduct it! ”

"I don't want to fight anymore, I'm tired!" Tanma Red Army Baihu sighed, still listless. It's not that they haven't lost battles before, but it's the first time in their lives that they have lost a battle like they are today. This led to a deep sense of frustration hanging over each of them, feeling that they simply could not go to war again. Even if he did, he couldn't adapt to the weapons and tactics of the Huai'an army, so he simply gave up on himself.

"Then be an instructor!" The leader of the auxiliary soldiers glanced at the Khitan centurion's lap legs, and continued to comfort loudly, "Those who can ride horses will be equestrian instructors, those who can use guns will be spear instructors, and those who can shoot arrows will teach recruits to shoot arrows." As long as you really have the ability, you will never be able to delay. In our auxiliary barracks, many of the instructors were Mongols. People don't care, who are you doing with or not?! I really don't like to live in the barracks, and I can go to the elementary school of the government to be that, that or something, a physical education teacher. Teach a group of children to dance with knives and sticks every day! The salary is not much lower than that of being a soldier, and you don't have to pin your head to the waistband of your pants all day! ”

"Really? Can the Khitans also be teachers? Not only the centurion, but also the eyes of the Khitan people around him lit up, and they asked with a little expectation.

Disarmament and return to the field, after all, is an unrealistic dream. They don't know how to farm, and their hometown far away has long become a strange memory. But teaching a group of children to dance with knives and sticks, bend bows and ride horses is not a very complicated thing. The Khitans' own children also need to be taught by their parents from an early age in order to become a qualified soldier. In terms of talent and qualifications, there is no difference between other people's children.

"Really, it's not just the Khitans. In the primary school, the Semu who taught arithmetic and the Mongols who taught wrestling all grabbed a lot of them. The leader of the auxiliaries nodded and replied very proudly, "But there is a little bit that the original four-part method is not particular. The Han people killed by the Mongols still paid for their lives, and the Han people killed the Mongols, the same! ”

"That's, that's!" All the Khitan men nodded one after another. In the fourth-class ethnic division system of the Mengyuan court, they have always been treated as Han people. The status is only higher than that of the Han people in the south, and far inferior to the Mongols and Semu. Therefore, there is no contradiction to the abolition of the difference in rank of the Huai'an Army. Deep down, there is even a little bit of approval.

"I'll tell you the truth! The head of our family, it is the reincarnation of the Buddha! The little leader of the auxiliary soldiers finally eliminated the hidden danger as he wished, and his mouth immediately lost the door, and his voice was lowered, and his face was full of mystery, "Buddha, have you heard of it?" In the eyes of the Buddha, all people are equal. There is no difference between Han, Khitan, Mongolian, and Semu at all. It's all people, they all have one nose and two eyes, and everyone is the same! You brothers rest here first, and I'll go elsewhere. Manager Zhu is a very good person, we can't delay his old man's affairs! ”

As he spoke, he left a few Khitans who were in a state of mind, turned around and walked towards the other captives. As he walked, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't worry, sit down, sit down, relax." Have any of you ever heard of Mr. Zhu, who killed innocent people indiscriminately? Haven't heard of it! If you haven't heard of it, don't be afraid. Lao Tzu, like you, was also arrested after losing the battle. Look at Lao Tzu now."

"The Grand Duke!" "The Grand Duke!" His words were quickly drowned out by a burst of cheers from a landslide and tsunami. Zhu Eighty-one, Mao Gui and others came over, and the Huai'an soldiers who had won the battle happily gathered around the past, expressing their most sincere worship to the heroes in their hearts in the way they knew. 30,000 (not counting the auxiliaries on your side) and 120,000 (one on the other side counts as one), and the battle is won. Zhu Dudu led everyone and once again created a miracle. Following behind such a hero, why do you worry that the future will not be bright?!

Note 1: In the official history, after Zhang Shicheng was attacked by Zhu Yuanzhang, he once surrendered to the Mengyuan court and was named Tai Lieutenant.
