Of course, the captives who are in charge of officials will definitely not be released. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Feng's release scope only includes ordinary green battalion soldiers, not to mention those high-ranking officers such as guerrilla capitalists, even the lowest-level foreign commissioners can't be released, these people add up to one or two thousand, and they happen to be thrown to Keelung Coal Mine to work as coolies, and then let their families take money to ransom people, saying that those who can become officers have more or less a bit of family business, and they don't knock on these people.

As for the staff generals, deputy generals, and general soldiers further up, then you don't have to be polite.

This time, a total of three lieutenants and eight staff officers were captured, and all of them were pushed to the execution ground to train the recruits with bayonets.

Although theoretically these people are richer in the family, the current Yang Dashuai doesn't pay so much attention to money or not, after all, his warehouse is full of silver and gold, and it is not inferior to these people.

Amid the constant cursing and pleading of the Qing army officers who were escorted to the transport ship with handcuffs and leg shackles, a large table was also placed at the ferry not far from them, behind which sat several Ming army officers, and behind them were large wooden boxes. The front of the box is Yang Feng's head, and the double dragon playing with pearls on the reverse side is piled up with silver coins with one or two or five characters of silver, and the white flowers are dazzling in the sun, and the released green battalion soldiers line up to walk past the table, each of them receives a silver coin and boards the free ferry to cross the river, and then they can go wherever they like.

"Brothers of the Qing army, everyone is Han, Han people don't fight Han people, our Yang Dashuai raised troops just to kill the Tartars and restore the country of our Han people, when the Tartars entered the customs, how many people were killed? How many good things were grabbed? Do any of you have ancestors who did not die at the hands of the Tartars, and who of you did not have things robbed by the Tartars? Who hasn't been robbed of their land when they were staking land? Yang Dashuai just wants to take us to avenge the blood feud of the year, and snatch back all the silver and land they robbed.

The marshal also knows that you are not having an easy time, you go to the battlefield to bleed hard, the military salary is also swallowed by the officials, the little silver in your hand can't even support the family, the wife and children are hungry and screaming, and you can't even wear new clothes all year round, although you are fighting with us and being caught, even if you kill you, there is nothing to say, but the marshal has a good heart, and knows that if you die, the wives and children at home will have to starve to death, so he specially released him to go home, and this dollar is your travel expenses. ”

A loyal and honest Ming army officer stood at the table, holding a paper tube in his hand and shouting.

Of course, I don't know if these are useful or not, anyway, in the eyes of those Ming officers and soldiers and ordinary people who watched the excitement, this is indeed quite stupid, but this evaluation is a bit disrespectful to Yang Dashuai, so everyone has to attribute it to Dashuai's good heart, after all, he is a disciple of the gods, so he must be compassionate.

"Handsome!"

At this moment, with a shout of long voices, a bright group of cuirassiers roared in.

These cavalry were different from the others, a total of thirty-six people, all the tallest war horses, in addition to the necessary red robes and silver armor, each with a red cloak, in addition to the saber pistol short rifle, each person was equipped with a spear, and there was a small pennant on the spear, on which was a golden dragon with teeth and claws.

Well, the name of this cavalry is the Dragoons.

In Yang Feng's design, the cavalry brigade of the Ming army being formed is actually the European version of dragoons, mounted infantry, and high-speed motorized infantry, because he does not need cavalry at all to impact the infantry phalanx of the Qing army, he only needs the infantry to line up and fire constantly at a distance of one hundred and fifty zhang, which is enough to disperse the infantry phalanx of the Qing army, after all, the latter's arquebus at this distance, the probability of hitting the Ming army is simply negligible.

In this case, he still needs a fart cavalryman.

And his dragoons were separate heavy cavalry, specially designed to deal with European infantry phalanxes when they went out to invade later, and there were also those famous cavalry, such as the Russian Cossacks, Polish hussars, and Ottoman cavalry, etc., the reason why they began to train from now on was mainly ......

The main thing is that he wants to pretend to be forced.

Thirty-six war horses stepped on the thrilling sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry on horseback were all more than one meter seventy-five tall, with red robes, silver helmets and silver armor, red helmets on helmets, cloaks raised behind them, black leather boots on their feet were wiped to the silhouette of a person, holding a cold and shining spear, and a small pennant on the spear hunted and danced, and the momentum made many girls and daughters-in-law in the crowd who were watching the excitement ripple in spring.

As for the cavalry, of course, in front of him is Yang Dashuai.

Speaking of which, many of the prisoners here have seen how ferocious he is on the battlefield, and at this time, when they see him, their legs can't help but weaken, and they all kneel down one by one.

"What is this for? Get up! ”

Yang Feng was very satisfied with this effect, and took the war horse and said with an amiable expression.

How dare those captives get up, this guy in front of him has at least thousands of Qing soldiers on his hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a murderous demon king, let alone standing up in front of him at this time, those Qing prisoners don't even dare to look at him.

"What? It doesn't work for me to talk? ”

Yang Feng's eyes widened and he shouted.

Those Qing prisoners all stood up at once.

"I'm here to see off your brothers, although we have just fought, but as long as you have the blood of the Han people in your body, then you are all my brothers, even if you go back and are still forced by the Tartars to go back to the battlefield, I still regard you as my brothers, and I will release you if I catch you again, but I need you to remember that this world is ours, not those Tartars, they killed our people and robbed our land, is that all?"

Yang Feng controlled the war horse and walked in front of those Qing prisoners.

"No, you can't forget it.

The blood of the millions of relatives in the Jiashen national disaster cannot be shed in vain, the once masters of this land cannot become slaves of the Tartars, the blood debt they owe must be repaid with blood, and everything they have robbed us must be repaid to us.

Remember your names, your Han Chinese.

Remember who you are, you are the masters of this land.

Remember your ancestors, your ancestors did not have this tail on their heads!

Remember it all! ”

As soon as Yang Feng finished speaking, he lifted the reins, and the big white horse immediately neighed and stood up, and then he turned around, and took the team of dragoons as when he came just now, stepping on the thrilling sound of horses' hooves and leaving quickly like a gust of wind.

Now how many military affairs are waiting for him to deal with, not only military, but even the civil affairs have to be personally arrested by him, after all, the original main officials basically committed suicide, and now the three places in Ningbo can only be temporarily managed by the military of the Marshal's Mansion, and until now he has not found a suitable Ningbo prefect, originally Shao Tingcai is the most suitable, but unfortunately the latter is responsible for military production is inseparable.

Of course, these are small things, and the most important thing is the next war.

And just after the capture of Ningbo, the third brigade led by Du You immediately went south to seize Fenghua, and a battalion of the first brigade seized Xikou, both of which the Qing army fled without a fight, so that together with Cixi, which had been occupied, the Ming army completely completed the closure of this plain. The Qing army retreated to Yuyao, Shengzhou, and Ninghai, and confronted the Ming army in these three strongholds, of which Shengzhou and Ninghai had to pass through a large area of mountainous areas, for the Ming army, which was extremely dependent on logistics and lacked land transportation capabilities, it was certainly not the direction of attack, and the main target of the next attack was definitely Yuyao.

However, in the short term, Yang Feng is not allowed to consider the next offensive issue.

He must first complete the expansion of the army.

He then transferred back the third battalion from Keelung, and it was already a waste for this battalion to continue to stay there, at this time, even in the Hsinchu area, there were just more than 100 Han people in the past, and further north were all barren mountains and mountains, at most there were a bit of Pingpu tribes, and the Qing army in Taiwan did not have the ability to fight through the environment of more than 100 miles, coupled with the Ming navy's control of the sea, and the Qing army's occupation area was constantly making trouble, Taiwan's general soldier Zhang Yulin simply regarded Keelung as if it did not exist.

Moreover, during this time, the total strength of Lao Chen's Keelung garrison has also expanded to more than 3,000 people, all of whom are veterans of the former Zheng family, although Yang Feng only equipped them with purchased smoothbore flintlock pistols under the excuse of insufficient production, but the combat effectiveness is not something that the thousands of green battalions under Zhang Yulin can deal with.

After the third battalion was withdrawn in this way, with this battalion as the backbone, and some officers from the other brigades, the fourth brigade was formed, and the fourth infantry battalion of the other three brigades was also formed in the same way, and then the rest was training. There is also the cavalry brigade, this brigade is no different from the infantry brigade in terms of establishment, after all, they still have to be used as infantry in real war, in fact, no one under Yang Feng knows cavalry combat, and his subordinates can't even make up a brigade that can ride horses. However, unlike the infantry brigade, the artillery of this cavalry brigade is all small four-and-a-half-pound guns, after all, as a unit that needs high-speed mobility, the nine-pound cannon is a bit heavy for them.

It doesn't matter if it's four and a half pounds.

This kind of small cannon is only more than 1,000 catties even if the gun body with the gun carriage is counted as a whole, and two war horses can pull it over the mountains and mountains, even in the soft terrain of the south, it will not be affected too much, but it is not easy to do this with the weight of the 2,000 catties of the nine-jin cannon.

As for the heavy artillery brigade, this is still not within the scope of Yang Feng's establishment for the time being, and in his current combat environment, he has to build a bunch of multi-ton cannons, not to mention long-range maneuvers, even those small bridges in the water towns can't be crossed, let alone the 24-pound howitzers in the plan, in terms of the terrifying weight of that thing, it is estimated that if you want to use this thing to fight south of the Huai River, you have to go to repair the bridge and repair the road in advance.

In this way, Yang Feng's new round of army expansion plan was rapidly launched, as for the source of soldiers, it is not worth mentioning at all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this area, and the people are full of enthusiasm for joining the Ming army.

However, although the war with Kang Mazi came to an end, the war between Yang Dashuai and others began.

"Quick, quick!"

Sun Sheng, who had been promoted to lieutenant and served as the captain, urged dozens of soldiers beside him while running briskly, and quickly stopped in front of a large mansion in the surprised eyes of passers-by, and then he waved back, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward, raised their feet and kicked on the gate suddenly, and the unlocked gate opened in response, and then the Ming army with bayonets and rifles swarmed in.

"What are you going to do?"

An old man wearing a brocade robe and looking very wealthy walked out surrounded by more than a dozen house slaves and asked with a dignified face.

"Chen Wenqi, right?"

Sun Sheng looked at him and said.

The latter nodded with a gloomy face.

"On the order of the marshal, Chen Wenqi, a villager of Yinxian County, did not think of serving the country loyally at this time of national crisis, but colluded with the Tartars to commit misdeeds, and was immediately arrested."

Sun Sheng immediately took out an arrest warrant and read it according to what he had memorized before.

Well, he was actually illiterate.

"Ridiculous, since the army entered the city, the old man has been closed for many days, how can he collude with the imperial court!"

The old man rebuked angrily.

"Old Chen, you are a subordinate of the Tartars as an aisle, and one of your two sons is in the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and the other is in Dangzhi County, Jiangxi, you said that you and the Tartars did not collude, can you believe this? Also, what's the deal with the braid you've hidden under your hat? The marshal's order is to keep your head without braids, and to keep braids without your head, are you still thinking about being a slave to the Tartars? And what happened to the court you just said? Are you still worried about the Tartars coming back? ”

Sun Sheng said as he took the hat off the old man's head with a short gun, and then the braid inside fell off, and the old man's face changed suddenly.

"Cuffed!"

Sun Sheng said with a sneer.

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, quickly handcuffed the old man, and in the midst of a large number of idlers outside, they directly escorted them to the prisoner car parked in front of the door and went straight to the Marshal's Mansion.

At the same time, a similar scene was staged in Ningbo, Cixi, Fenghua and other places at the same time, a large number of Ming troops acted separately, directly broke into the homes of landlords who had relatives under Kang Mazi, and arrested all the principals of their families, all of whom were charged with the same crime, colluding with the Tartars to commit misdeeds, arresting more than 100 people in just one day, and then all of them were imprisoned in the Dashuaifu, and for a time the entire Ningbo three places were stunned.

After all, before this, the Ming army behaved extremely civilized, and it was still very uncomfortable to suddenly show its fangs.

However, what is strange is that Yang Dashuai only arrests landlords, and only arrests those major landlords, such as Chen Wenqi, who has more than 20,000 acres of land at home, but the merchants, those factory owners who open various workshops, he has not touched anything, even if they do have relatives in their families who are officials outside, they are not arrested, of course, in addition to these, there are also a large number of land businessmen must also be arrested.

However, stunned, it still has no impact on the order of the three places, after all, these people have nothing to do with the common people, and the common people should do the same.
