"Killing prisoners is ominous!"

Early the next morning, Liu Jun completed the screening work, and then, as usual, pulled the bandit leaders, leaders, backbones, and those cruel bandits who had a lot of blood debts out of the camp, and then they were to be publicly executed.

When Li Shuchu heard about it, he hurriedly came to dissuade him. Li Shuchu is not entirely pedantic, but he also admires Liu Jun, remembers that Liu Jun once saved his daughter's love, and worries about Liu Jun's reputation. After all, if you get into a reputation for killing, I'm afraid that it won't be good to spread it, and besides, maybe the imperial history of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China will impeach him for killing prisoners, and his good military exploits will become a stain if he doesn't get it right.

"I am not killing innocents indiscriminately, but I am just executing those brutal people, whose hands are already stained with blood, not only those officers and soldiers, but also those innocent people, who are innocent." Liu Jun said calmly to Li Shuchu, "For those who can be saved, we will not give up, and we will treat them differently after the punishment." Otherwise, if you just blindly let them go, wouldn't it be too cheap for them, and these people will rebel at any time after they go back. ”

Liu Jun doesn't like to kill, but some people really don't need to stay. If these people are not killed, then there will only be more and more rebels in the future, and appropriate beheading can still have a certain deterrent effect.

Originally, someone suggested that Liu Jun cut off the big toes of these people, so that it would not be a problem to farm and walk, but he could not carry weight and run, and of course he could no longer rebel from thieves, but Liu Jun refused to be so cheap to them.

"Some people are better killed." Mei Zhihuan and others have become accustomed to Liu Jun's set, and they also stood up to support Liu Jun at this time. "Don't worry, it's only a few bandits who have been killed."

There were more than 60,000 people in the camp, more than 40,000 thieves, more than 10,000 thieves' families, and more than 10,000 people. Liu Jun only killed about 3,000, and Zhang Xianzhong was captured in the first battle of the mud ditch. More than 3,000 old thieves under his command were almost killed in battle, Cao Cao fled and took more than 3,000 with him, and Zhang Kewang and others also took hundreds of them. Therefore, in fact, there are not many old thieves left among those captives, and many of them have only joined the bandits this year.

Liu Jun executed all the more than 3,000 of the thieves who were in heavy blood debts, and they were still publicly executed, and tens of thousands of prisoners watched the execution and were directly beheaded. The ministries took turns acting as executioners. The beheaded level was preserved, and Liu Jun was directly included in the beheading level of the array. And detailed standards were made for the special numbering of those leaders and leaders.

As for the other bandits, it turned out that the imperial court was generally escorted back to the local area for resettlement, or resettled on the spot. However, Liu Jun and Mei Zhihuan are not at ease, and it is irresponsible to place them casually. After Liu Jun discussed with Mei Zhihuan and others, the result was to bring these people back to Huguang.

To be precise, these people were all received by Liu Jun.

Liu Jun's plan for these people is that those people who have been arrested, if there is still a family willing to return, let them go back. Those who are already homeless can go to Huguang with him, and he will organize these people to camp in the mountains at the western foot of Qihuang Dabie Mountain. With as many people as they collectively farmed, Liu Jun provided them with seeds, cattle and farm tools, etc., and some of the harvest from cultivating the fields was kept by them. Part of it was given to Liu Jun.

And for those captives, they were also distinguished by the age of the thieves and the severity of the crimes they committed among the bandits. Of course, most of those who have killed people and even killed people and raped women have been executed, and the rest have not been executed, but there have also been murders and looting. will be sent to the mine to work, and Liu Jun will also give them a salary, but their personal restrictions will be somewhat restricted. These people are equivalent to labor reform, and the time of labor reform is determined by performance.

For those who may have joined for a long time, but have no bad deeds, they will be arranged to go to the workshop to work, and these people will be monitored and managed, and they cannot leave at will. The last one, those who have joined the bandits for a shorter time and are cleaner, will be arranged to go to Tuntian.

In short, the resettlement plan proposed by Liu Jun still made Mei Zhihuan and them very tempted. After all, Liu Jun will accept these people, they will be placed and managed, and they will not be thrown aside at will, as long as these captives are managed and can live, the possibility of a second rebellion is very rare.

As for whether Liu Jun is equivalent to getting a lot of cheap labor at once, Mei Zhihuan and the others don't care, even so, what does it matter, all they want is to successfully settle these people, and then stop making trouble in the future. Moreover, it is not so easy to settle these people, and there is still a lot of investment in the early stage, whether it is to mine or work, or even to go to the tuntian, it will cost money.

On the other hand, Liu Jun took the money to recruit miners, craftsmen, and homeless people, would he not be able to recruit them?

In short, the plan proposed by Liu Jun is a win-win plan. Mei Zhihuan and the others settled tens of thousands of prisoners, and Liu Jun got a batch of cheaper labor.

Most of the captives' families were let back to their families, and those whose families had died in battle, or had escaped, Liu Jun would marry them to single captives who had no wives, so that they could reorganize their family life, and by the way, the old people and children in the old camp were also taken in by them.

"We must immediately start sending these people back to Huguang in batches for resettlement."

Liu Jun looked at the prisoners in that battalion and said slowly. Tens of thousands of prisoners were taken at once, although it was also a military achievement, but it suddenly made Liu Jun and them extremely burdened.

Now in the Tangjiawan camp, nearly 100,000 horses have gathered. There are more than 60,000 prisoners, in addition to nearly 20,000 Huguang soldiers and white pole soldiers, after the defeat of Dachang City, although Yang Sichang ran to Daning City to make peace with Zuo Liangyu, and ordered all the troops and horses to converge in Daning, but there are still many defeated troops to Tangjiawan, plus thousands of Beijing troops led by the fierce tiger and Hu Dawei of the Beijing camp, also arrived in Tangjiawan, so that Tangjiawan now has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

100,000 horses, to support and maintain, you need a lot of grain and grass, and several soldiers and horses do not have many war horses, otherwise the demand is even more.

At present, tens of thousands of prisoners only have one meal a day, and the officers and men do not deliberately starve them, but in order to reduce the pressure on supply, while not letting them have enough to eat, it can indeed prevent these prisoners from having enough food and energy to make trouble.

Liu Jun has already begun to organize a fleet to transport these prisoners back to Huguang for resettlement, on the other hand, there are a large number of trophies that are anxious to be transported back, before the battle of Tangjiawan, Liu Jun has captured a large number of trophies, swords, guns, armor, war horses, mules, carts, gold and silver jewelry, grain and grass and other kinds of booty. After arriving in Tangjiawan, Cao Cao sent 200,000 taels worth of property before and after, Liu Jun divided 100,000, and then Cao Cao fled, only taking a small part of the gold and silver, and the rest of the large amount of property and grain and grass were all thrown in Tangjiawan, and then became Liu Jun's trophies.

It was a very rich booty, Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao they fought for more than ten years, and they had accumulated a lot of money, although they had surrendered to the imperial court last year, and they also took out a lot to bribe officials, but their money was still retained.

In the end, Liu Jun's nine-headed bird got half of the money because he was the main force of the battle, and Mei Zhihuan, Qin Liangyu, Li Changgeng, Yuan Jixian and other battalions shared the remaining half. As for Li Shuchu, Hu Dawei, and Fierce as a Tiger, they have no share at all.

Before and after, after Liu Jun marched into Sichuan, the seized and divided property was worth at least hundreds of thousands, which was still profitable compared to the cost of his 10,000 troops.

Liu Jun is most concerned about war horses, after he negotiated and exchanged with other battalions, Liu Jun now got more than 3,000 horses, plus his original hundreds, Liu Jun has almost more than 4,000 horses. With so many war horses, Liu Jun planned to expand his cavalry into a cavalry battalion alone.

Even if it is only a cavalry infantry battalion, it can improve the combat effectiveness of the nine-headed bird a lot and have the ability to pursue. Otherwise, if they encounter a situation like Cao Cao this time, they will throw away their baggage and run away, and they can only stare dryly again.

Yang Sichang fled to Daning City in embarrassment, joined Zuo Liangyu's troops and horses, and then recalled Chen Hongfan's Henan soldiers, and was pursuing Cao Cao all the way into Hanzhong, Shaanxi. Yang Sichang originally summoned the fierce tiger and Hu Dawei to lead the Beijing army to converge, but unfortunately the two ignored it, and now they follow Mei Zhihuan and Liu Jun all day long.

Mei Zhihuan also received a message from Yang Sichang, but Mei Zhihuan refused to go on the grounds that his troops had recently fought continuously, the army was tired and tired, and there was a lack of food and grass.

Yang Sichang was suffocating to death, but he also knew that he couldn't move Mei Zhihuan at all now, so he had to take Zuo Liangyu, Chen Hongfan and other soldiers and horses to chase Cao Cao fiercely, bent on annihilating these fish that slipped through the net in order to save some face. But Cao Cao and the others rode forward, but they couldn't chase them if they wanted to, and the more they chased, the farther away they became.

Mei Zhihuan is now with Liu Jun and Qin Liangyu, and they have long been on the same mind, and no one can erase their exploits after fighting until now, so there is no need for them to chase and mention it now, there is no need, and they can't catch up.

Anyway, Zhuo Jie's messenger had already gone to Beijing, and Yang Sichang had planted a big heel this time. previously judged that the bandit fled in the wrong direction, but Mei Zhihuan judged it correctly, and as a result, he had to write a chapter to the emperor to fight a lawsuit with Mei Zhihuan, and finally proved that he was the stupid person. If that's all there is to it, it's nothing.

But Mei Zhihuan was in the south, with only 10,000 soldiers and horses from several battalions such as Liu Jun, he fought successively, and captured Zhang Xianzhong alive. And Yang Sichang, all the way slowly can't catch up, the last pass has been surrounded by bandits, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he commanded, but there was a mutiny and escape, and this is not counted, in the end, not only missed the great opportunity to annihilate the enemy, but also let thousands of defeated and fleeing bandits break the city guarded by more than 20,000 people, and Yang Sichang's more than 20,000 people, but without a single shot, the whole army was defeated and scattered, in any case, Yang Sichang is performing badly this time, especially compared with Prime Minister Mei Zhihuan, It's a world of difference.

Whether Yang Sichang, the superintendent, can sit down is a big question. (To be continued......)
