Although the Mawei army entered the city, it still maintained strict military discipline and did not infringe on any civilians. Even if there were panicked people on the road, they didn't bother. A few frightened and panicked into the ranks of the warriors, and the warriors only comforted them with gentle words, and then continued to walk forward. These behaviors made the people of Dapu County extremely strange, they had never seen such a good army, that is, the garrison green battalion of the county, which often oppressed the people.

After listening to Qin Qiong's words of opening the city and surrendering within a limited time on the city gate tower before, Wang Xian Ling didn't take the two hundred horsetail troops outside the city seriously at all. He was worried about when the other party's large army would come, just a few hundred people, it was impossible to break the city gate, an hour ago, he had already sent a fast horse to Meizhou and Chaozhou for help, presumably the rescue troops would arrive in less than two days. Wang Xianling actually had another thing in mind, if the large army of Meizhou or Chaozhou could arrive early, then he would not have to open the city and surrender, if the large army of the Mawei army arrived, and his own reinforcements did not arrive, then he would go out of the city and surrender. The key is not to let the two hundred horsetail troops in front of you enter the city, in that case, it will appear that you are too incompetent.

But what he didn't expect was that the combat ability of the Mawei Army was far beyond his imagination, and when the time limit came, it only took an hour to take the whole city. At this moment, in the county office, Wang Xianling was so frightened that he trembled, it was really beyond his expectations that the Mawei Army could break through the county seat so quickly. Wang Xianling can't be said to be a good person, and he can be regarded as a corrupt official, but the target of greed is not ordinary people. This is something to be commended. During the three years he took office. It was also the three years of Dapu's fastest development. As commerce and trade became more and more prosperous, the wealthy people of Daura became more and more wealthy, and as a result, the amount of money supplied to the prefectural magistrates began to double. As for the scattered silver on the common people, forget it. Even if it is looted, it will not be much, so it is better to use your brains more to think about how to get some meat out of the mouths of those rich people.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Qin, what is the next move? Is it to report the victory to the large army immediately? "At the North City Gate. Zhang Hu asked Qin Qiong for instructions. He still took the four gates of the city, but he did not need to divide his troops to garrison them. After taking a few targets in the city, the troops who had previously blocked the city gate immediately withdrew to the north gate. There were only two hundred of them, so it would be better to gather together to be safe. In case someone in the city organizes a counterattack, wait until the night to take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack, and disperse it will be easy to be broken one by one. And to gather together as now and occupy the favorable terrain at the gates of the city, even if the enemy has two thousand to attack, can defend it.

"It is necessary to repay the victory, otherwise who will continue the merits of the brothers? Send a herald immediately. Inform the division headquarters that we will take Dapu County along the way. Sixty enemies were killed, more than 400 were captured, and none of them suffered any casualties. Hehe, I'm thinking, we should be the first team to win a county, if it's really like I think, then we're the first to get the first credit! Qin Qiong said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, head gong, that is the easiest to be remembered by the prince, no, it is remembered by the metropolitan governor.

"I'll do it right away. By the way, the battalion commander, according to the order of the General Staff, several big families in the city have been charged, do you need to detain them all in the county jail? Zhang Hu was just about to turn around, but suddenly thought of something and then asked.

Geng Jingzhong's idea of attacking Guangdong was not a day or two, he had long known Shang Kexi's reaction in the reduction of the domain, so he had already ordered the intelligence department to develop forces in Guangdong, and the Fuzhou headquarters had a record of some necessary information. For this war, it also means another reshuffle of the world's forces. If Geng Jingzhong wants to transform the world according to his ideals, then he must destroy the interests of a large part of the existing interest groups. For example, several wealthy families in the city were accused of being rich and unkind, and Geng Jingzhong needed to use their heads to appease people's hearts, and at the same time needed their property to supply military supplies, and more importantly, to use their land to realize their ideals.

At that time, Li Zicheng's original theme of the Dashun Army was to wait for the noble and the lowly, and the land was free of grain. The slogan: "Meet the king, the king will not pay for the king." It spread all over the world, but Li Zicheng did not implement the slogan, and the people below disobeyed the yang and the yin, and the robbery of civilians and the harm to the innocent also happened from time to time, and it could even be said that it was frequent. And Geng Jingzhong also wanted to do this, but the method was to change. The land property is to be divided, what if there is not so much land property? In the future, every time a place is captured, the landlords who are rich and unkind will take down the place, and those who are responsible for the crime will be beheaded on the spot, and those who are less responsible will be fined and confiscated land and some money. In this way, there is also sufficient land for the Ministry of Administration to operate.

"Wait, I guess tomorrow, the students of the Ministry of Government Affairs will arrive, what should we do when the time comes, those people are better than us. We're only in charge of the campaign, and we're not in charge of the rest. Qin Qiong shook his head and said with a smile. They are soldiers, as long as they obey orders, and now that their task has been completed, they can be pulled out when the follow-up team comes up. This small city doesn't need their elite troops to garrison it, just let those recruits come.

Zhang Hu nodded clearly: "That's right, we are a sharp knife army, attacking the city and pulling out the village is our specialty, this management place, the two of us together are not as good as a fledgling student baby." By the way, I don't know if the recruits in the back will be able to arrive before noon tomorrow, but they have also received some training, so it shouldn't be too bad! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, although they are called recruits, they were originally the escort team of Princess Fang, and their daily training is not much less than that in the barracks, but they haven't seen blood like us. The Governor sent them out to follow us, just to train them. Qin Qiong said this, and admiration arose. There are a total of 100 princess shops in the 45 counties of Fujian, and there are a large number of guards from the production workshops to the sales stores. In particular, the caravans responsible for delivering goods to the mainland were even larger, with each team exceeding 100 people. In total, there are nearly 10,000 guards in this princess mansion alone.

The first batch has been joining the team for seven years, and later new people have joined. In addition to doing some hard work in normal times, the rest of the time is basically training, although the intensity of training is not as strict and hard as in the barracks, but over the years, it still exceeds the level of the green battalion soldiers in other provinces. These nearly 10,000 escort teams are also elite, that is, the dozen or so teams that run the interior all the year round, with a number of nearly 2,000.

In this expedition, the convoy was also mobilized, with a total number of 5,000 people, all of whom had been in the province all year round, to form a new army, which was responsible for garrisoning and guarding the city after the occupation. One of the main tasks is to garrison, and the other is to cooperate with the officials of the Ministry of Government Affairs to manage the place. After all, the regular Mawei Marine Army is not many in number, the total number is so 40,000, 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops are still on Luzon Island, there are less than 30,000 people here, excluding the troops stationed in Fujian, only 20,000 can be used for conquest, so it is not cost-effective to use such a treasure to defend the city. And at this time, the new formation of soldiers formed by these convoys came in handy.

"Hey, that's what I said. When I was on vacation before, I also met the members of the escort team, and they were not bad, a bit of a military man. But after all, they are not the guards who go out of the province to deliver goods all year round, and if those people are killed, I am not worried at all! Zhang Hu said.

"Yes, haven't we envied those guys in the barracks in the past two years, damn, they can always meet a few blind robbers every year, and add credit to themselves, so we can only stare at the sidelines. If you want to give those opportunities to our brothers, I'm afraid that there is already an extra star on my shoulder at this moment! When Zhang Hu said this, Qin Qiong immediately remembered the past, and he was still a little haunted until now.

Zhang Hu also nodded and said: "But they are not a regular army after all, and if they kill a few bandits, they will not be promoted, but they will be rewarded with some more money!" ”

"Who says there's no promotion? If this is like the group of escorts in the back, and it is transformed into a new army, then all the previous credits will be used immediately. Among them, those who have killed the enemy have merit, and now they are also the squad leaders and squadron leaders in the escort team, and there are also those who have been promoted to the captains and vice-captains of each escort team, as long as most of them order the reorganization, they will immediately become the same as us! Remember what the Metropolitan said before? Don't treat any brother badly, as long as you make a meritorious service, it is recorded in black and white. Qin Qiong glanced at Zhang Hu and said.

"Well, anyway, those brothers did take advantage! Hey, I don't envy them, now our opportunity has come, as long as we make more meritorious contributions next, hehe" Zhang Hu has already begun to think about the scene of his meritorious service receiving awards and returning to his hometown.

At noon the next day, Wang Xianling, who was looking forward to reinforcements, and several large families such as the Zhu family were completely desperate, although they wanted to surrender and move closer to the Mawei Army the moment they were charged, but unfortunately it was too late. Although their letters for help have been sent to Meizhou and Chaozhou Mansions, the people they ask for help are also too busy to take care of themselves at the moment, let alone divide the team to rescue them. In this expedition, the Mawei Army dispatched a total of 35,000 naval and land armies, and Qin Qiong and them could only be regarded as the first small detachment. The three battalions of the 1st Division had arrived at Meizhou Prefecture at this moment, and by the way, they had already taken another county seat near Longyan in addition to Dapu County, Jiaoling County. The 3,000 horsetail army has arrived under the capital city of Meizhou at this moment and is waiting to attack the city.

And the same is true on the Chaozhou side, the goal of the Mawei Navy is not Chaozhou, but to go straight to Guangzhou Mansion, which is still at sea at the moment. However, the 1st Squadron and the accompanying 2,000 Artillery Division and 2,000 troops of the 2nd Division had already landed at the wharf in Chao'an County, Chaozhou, and were heading for the capital city of Chaozhou. Chaozhou has 5,000 newly arrived Pingnan Wang troops, plus the original green battalion soldiers totaling more than 6,000 people, although there are only 4,000 marines ashore, but the pressure on them is also very great, and they dare not arbitrarily divide the army to go to other places to rescue.
