336 The power of the captivity policy
PS: Thank you for the support of a wandering scholar, thank you!
I have to work overtime in the morning, and I go to carry milk powder for my daughter in the afternoon, and I guess I have to come back in the evening, so there is another chapter that is estimated to be updated until around 21:30.
In the Great Wall defense system of Yansui, Qingshui Camp is one of the important nodes. Compared with several other points, this place has been used by the Heavenly Army, at least the terrain is familiar.
If it weren't for the fact that the disaster victims in the pass would have to be sent out at that time, the Heavenly Army could also give up fighting here and choose a remote place to enter the pass. Although the road is a little more difficult, you can lose fewer people without fighting. But if you want to send a relatively large number of disaster victims out of the customs, you naturally have to take the official road, so that the Heavenly Army must control the Qingshui Camp.
Now that the information has been collected from the chimneys, it is more certain that the Heavenly Army will be able to take down this place at a relatively small cost, killing two birds with one stone.
After a careful plan in advance, he lurked directly outside the Great Wall under the cover of night. The most adept and elite men in the reconnaissance company launched a sneak attack at the third watch in the middle of the night.
No one thought that the progress would be easier and easier than Hu Guang and others had estimated, as if there were no people patrolling at night in the Qingshui Battalion.
After half an hour, Hu Guang had already led the army into the Qingshui camp and occupied this place for the second time for the night.
Cheng Mouse, the commander of the reconnaissance company, told Hu Guangyu: "These Ming troops have only put a few sentry posts, and these sentry posts are still sleeping. On the contrary, there were a little more people on the side of the gate, and they were more vigilant, but they were solved with a little fighting. ”
He paused, and then explained with a little surprise: "When the battle happened, we shouted surrender and not kill, and asked the heavenly army to treat the prisoners preferentially, they were really obedient, and this battle was so easy!" ”
Speaking of which. He said with emotion: "When my subordinates were in the grassland before, I always heard that the border army of the Ming army was powerful, and the pass was difficult to fight. It's our turn to fight, how can it be so easy! ”
An Gui is one of Hu Guang's bodyguards, and he is usually relatively low-key, just following Hu Guang. Not much to talk about. But now that Cheng Mouse told him, he also heard it, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Because in his understanding, the nine-sided town is indeed the most elite place of the Ming army, which is to defend against the enemy on the grassland, logically speaking, it should not be solved so easily. Otherwise, this place close to the Great Wall, it is estimated that the Han people will be extinct.
Hu Hansan listened to it. Instead, he laughed, obviously in a very comfortable mood, and said with a little pride: "What's so strange about this, because we are called the Heavenly Army, and we are the poor people's own team!" ”
Li Dingguo was also a little proud, he saw that a few people who joined the Heavenly Army on the grassland were still a little confused, so he also explained: "Before we called the Heavenly Army, we were active in the Fugu area, and many Ming troops were captured by us. Knowing our reputation as the Celestial Army. ”
A few people suddenly realized that this was the case. And at this time. Liu Daneng also said with a little emotion: "In the past, Childe ...... The chief wanted to implement this policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, and asked us to strictly abide by the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, but I really did not expect that there would be so many benefits at that time. ”
Hu Hansan listened and nodded approvingly. At that time. It was the chief who asked for it, and although he and others did not agree with it, because it was the chief's request, they just complied with it. Unexpectedly, this time I entered the customs. But I have enjoyed the power of this seemingly woman-like policy.
Hu Guang listened to them discussing this, and he was a little happy in his heart. It seems that in the days to come, there is no need to enforce the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and they will naturally consciously abide by them when they have tasted the benefits.
However, the Qingshui Battalion was able to fight down without much effort, and there was still a certain element of luck.
The original Shimizu camp was destroyed last year, the original defenders have been killed or scattered, and many of the defenses have been dismantled. Therefore, after the Ming army recovered here, no one wanted to be in charge of it.
As a result, those who lost the battle in contact with the Heavenly Army and did not have much power in the army were thrown here. Including Ding Hai, he was captured by the Heavenly Army, and he couldn't work hard in the war, so he was settled by the Autumn Queen and thrown to the chimney to be the dun army.
The leader of the Ming army of the Qingshui battalion was only a general, and when he was advancing to suppress the heavenly army, he belonged to the fastest escape in the former army. At the beginning, the Qingshui battalion was breached in the direction of the pass, and now the pass is not very peaceful, so when he deployed his troops, he focused on the side of the pass.
As for the outside of the pass, there are so many chimneys to defend, if there is really a Mongolian army to attack, there will always be a signal from the chimneys, so it is careless.
When the Heavenly Army broke through and appeared in the Qingshui Camp, these Ming troops knew that the defeat was decided, and they knew that the enemy who came in was called the Heavenly Army, so they naturally had no intention of resisting, and gave up early and became prisoners.
Hu Guang thought about it for a while, and immediately asked people to lead the way and go over to see those Ming prisoners.
Under the light of the torches, there were about seven or eight hundred people squatting in the small school yard in the Qingshui camp. When I saw a group of Heavenly Armies coming over, there was a slight commotion. However, the surroundings were full of soldiers called the Heavenly Army, and it immediately quieted down.
With the help of the firelight, Hu Guang glanced at the captives. I can't help but sigh in my heart, this is the famous Ming border army, these are completely a group of people called Huazi! Look at the tattered military robes on their bodies one by one, and the look of the sluggish. Whether it is the dress or their spirit, there is no military appearance at all.
When he saw that these captives were all looking at him, he smiled and said loudly: "I am Hu Guang, and I believe that many of you know the policy of our Heavenly Army. I repeat here once again, as long as you are not a person who has done evil, and does not have the blood of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army in your hands, you need not have any worries. ”
When Hu Guang said this, many of the prisoners were nodding, obviously they knew the policy of calling the Heavenly Army.
"We asked the Heavenly Army to enter the customs this time, mainly to help the disaster victims, so that they can go to live in the places controlled by the Heavenly Army. At least one thing I can guarantee is that as long as the Heavenly Army has something to eat, there will be no hungry person. By the way, no matter the old, weak, women or children, as long as they are alive, we call the army of heaven to accept it, because we are called the army of heaven! ”
As soon as Hu Guang's words fell, several captives shouted at the same time: "My lord, we want to join the Heavenly Army!" ”
At the beginning of them, the other captives shouted as well. Since the elderly and children can do it, what are the worries?
An Gui was not far from Hu Guang, looking at all this, he was even more firm in his heart. If the heavenly army is called to sit in the world, then the poor people will inevitably live better than they are now!
Hu Guang did not stay here long, and after saying a few more words, he asked the revolutionaries in the army to explain their policies to them. If you are willing to join the registration information of the Heavenly Army, if you are not there and can't join the Heavenly Army, you are not reluctant, and when you call the Heavenly Army back to the grassland, you will let them go.
It was already late at night, and Hu Guang was also busy for a day to rest. But Cheng Mouse hasn't yet, he is leading his subordinates to learn about the situation in the pass from these captives, so that the chief can make some decisions tomorrow. (To be continued......)
