Chapter 252: The Question of Prisoners

On the plains, the speed of the cavalry was superior to that of the infantry. Zhu Youcheng's cavalry had already rushed to the rear of the enemy with a charge, and the rebels were swept from behind.

The Lord will be captured, the retreat will be sealed again, and there will be only one way to surrender in front of the rebels. But the rebels did not dare to surrender, just now when kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, the Ming army's iron cavalry stepped directly on their heads, and again, their heads were not cast in copper and iron, and they could not be stepped on badly.

Fortunately, Xu Yan saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and rushed down with more than forty Yiren youths. The four knights were very clever, knowing that they were not as skilled as Jinyiwei, and shouted "surrender to death" in Yi language, while slashing with a scimitar. Of course, their shouting was by no means to take prisoners, but to sue the rebels, who were also Yi people, and could be regarded as fellow countrymen. As the saying goes, when a fellow sees a fellow, he gets a knife in the back. Let's not do that kind of immoral thing, we will give you a knife in front of you openly. In fact, the content of their shouting is irrelevant, the key is to say it in the Yiren language. The content of their shouting can actually be changed to something else, for example, Zhu Youcheng, you lack virtue and smoke, you have no asshole when you have a child, and so on, but they are afraid that Jinyiwei will hear it, so they changed the words that are very correct when they hear it.

Unexpectedly, this slogan, which was originally a foolish slogan, was very effective, and when they heard the persuasion of the cordial native language, the Yiren rebels actually hula la and knelt down, and the rebels actually had people to help these Yiren compatriots persuade them to surrender, and they shouted together.

Zhu Youcheng was gearing up, trying to repair the rebels, but looking at the battlefield, there were few standing opponents. If you attack the enemy army who surrenders, they are not Jiannu or Japanese slaves, and they will not be able to do so.

Fortunately, no matter which unit there is, there are always some diehards who don't know the situation, and Zhu Youcheng saw that there was a Yiren who was slashing with a knife nearby. He urged his horse forward, distracted, but he didn't expect a shot to fly from the oblique blade. Nailed the Yiren to the ground, and the Yiren immediately died so that he could no longer die.

Zhu Youcheng was furious, and looked back to see that it was the good thing that the troubled ghost had ruined him, but saw Wang Feng smile apologetically at him, beat his horse over, and pulled out the steel spear that was pierced in the rebels. Look for the next unlucky ghost who will fight to the end.

There are too few recalcitrant opponents on the battlefield, and each of the 5,000 cavalry can get an enemy, so it is often a group of cavalry against an infantry, and the rebels are simply bullied home. There is one more horse than others, and the martial arts are still high, plus there are many people, so you can't let people live?

The cavalry ignored the rebels' grievances, and after a sudden attack, the rebels fell down with bloody holes all over their bodies. Jin Yiwei's spear skills have been practiced for many years. The blood holes pierced in the body, no matter which one of them is enough to kill. It's not that Jinyiwei is tyrannical because of so many blood holes, it's because everyone is fighting for merit. The Jinyi guards killed ferociously, the rebels were terrified, and even more surrendered.

After cleaning up the die-hard rebels, the Jinyi guard began to capture prisoners. For the captives, Jinyiwei has always cared too much. They threw the rope to the rebels on their knees, giving them a choice. Either tied to each other, or. Hey......

The rebels couldn't help but cry, they were too bullying, even if the brocade guards were invincible in the world, they couldn't treat the prisoners like this. Let's choose for ourselves, so can I choose not to tie up? However, these words, Yi people are just talking psychologically. Seeing the tip of the spear, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva and obediently tied each other, and the bundle was particularly strong, lest the uncle of Jinyiwei be dissatisfied.

Finish dealing with things on the battlefield. Zhu Youcheng looked at the sky, it was already dark. It is not realistic to go back to the camp again, and the danger factor is very high in the middle of the night. Anyway, among the seized materials, there were camping materials, so Zhu Youcheng asked Jinyiwei to camp on the spot.

The battlefield statisticians came to report that Jinyi Wei had killed one person, seriously injured three people, and slightly injured 67 people. Five thousand against twenty thousand, only at such a small price, Jinyiwei was a complete victory, but Zhu Youcheng was still in a heavy mood, because another young and precious life was lost on the battlefield. With a wave of his hand, he asked people to collect the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers, but the guards reported that the corpses could not be collected, because the brocade guard died at the hands of his own people. He was hit by an arrow from the rebels in front of the door, and accidentally fell off his horse, and the brocade guards behind him avoided it, and the soldier was trampled by the chaotic horse, and now he is ......

Zhu Youcheng trembled, the situation he was most afraid of appeared, although the soldiers were not afraid of death, but such a tragic death would definitely give the soldiers a strong stimulus, once it was not handled properly, it would bury a stab in the hearts of the soldiers, affecting future battles.

Zhu Youcheng ordered people to go to the camp quickly, invited Daoist He Zihong, and did things for the sacrificed Jinyi guards. Of course, by the way, Yu Jiayan was also invited to treat the injured Jinyiwei.

Sure enough, when the Jinyi Guard soldiers heard that their comrades-in-arms had died so tragically, their faces were gloomy, as if they were preoccupied. It wasn't until He Zihong's ritual was over that they returned to normal. Zhu You said sincerely, it seems that it is still very reasonable for the Western army to have priests.

In less than an hour of fighting, the number of dead and wounded of the rebels reached 3,000, and the remaining 15,000 were taken prisoner. Zhu Youcheng had no sympathy for the rebels' wounded, the seriously wounded did not need to waste precious medicine at all, and directly cut off their heads as combat merits, while the lightly wounded were only hastily bandaged. Want to take medication? Jinyiwei himself is not enough, how can it be wasted on you?

When dealing with the remaining 15,000 Yiren, everyone was in trouble. The total number of prisoners was three times the number of Jinyi guards, and the guards became a big problem. Not only that, but there is also a bigger problem of food. When the Jinyi Guards were in Tongren Mansion, they replenished the grain and grass, but this was limited to five thousand Jinyi Guards. Now that Zhu Youcheng's team has swelled to 20,000 people, where can I find the rest of the grain and grass. If it's in other provinces, it's fine, but Guizhou itself is poor in products, coupled with the rebellion of luxury, the local area has become a piece of erosion, and the treasury is so empty that even the rats have to move, where can they get food?

The generals attending the meeting all knew that in fact, there was a very simple way to deal with this problem, which was to kill prisoners. Killing prisoners is very simple, for example, take the captives to the valley, and then block the mouth of the valley, and a fire can kill them; Or put arsenic in their food, which can also be easily poured on. It is a pity that none of the generals were Jiannu or Japanese slaves, and did not develop the bad habit of slaughtering prisoners. If they were to bring down fifteen thousand enemy troops on the battlefield, they would not even frown, but let them kill so many prisoners who had laid down their arms, they would not be able to make up their minds.

However, Gu Long said bluntly: "My lord, even if the captives are so troublesome, it is better to kill them all." ”

All the generals, including Zhu Youcheng, were shocked and stared at Gu Long with strange eyes. This kid is really poisonous, he will not change his face when he kills his own people, and he will be a member of the Jinyi Guard in the future.

The other Yi youths echoed one after another, but Wen Ruian said, "My lord, you don't have to kill them all. Because according to my observation, there is not a single black Yi among those Yi people, all of them are babies. The baby is not so loyal to An Bangyan, and participating in the rebellion is not at the behest of the head of the family, or he wants to have a full meal. Instead of worrying that those people will rebel, adults can take advantage of them. Their hearts are full of anger towards Heiyi, but they can't resist because of Heiyi's many minions. ”

The social structure of the Yi people is actually very primitive, especially the tribes in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are still in a slave society. The slave owner was called Heiyi, and the slaves under him were called Wazi, and Heiyi adopted a brutal and bloody rule over the slaves. Most of the slaves were their own people, that is, the Yi people, and there were also some captives taken from foreign tribes. During the Ming Dynasty, the Yi people were very honest and did not dare to plunder the Ming population as babies, but in the Mite Qing Dynasty, due to the selection and connivance of the Jiannu, the Yi people began to kidnap the Han people as slaves.

In the memory of the previous life, the government at that time took advantage of the contradiction between Heiyi and Wazi to dismantle the Tusi regime in one fell swoop. It seems that this time it is necessary to copy the policies of later generations, liberate the baby, and use the Yi people to defeat the Yi people.

As for the food problem, Zhu Youcheng has no need to worry. There are many Yi tribes in this area, and I believe that those Yi children are very happy to take Jinyi Guard to raid Heiyi's home. As long as one or two are copied, the food problem should be solved.

Zhu Youcheng laughed, and already had a plan in his heart on how to deal with the Yi captives.

To make good use of this group of Yi captives, the first task is to arouse their bitter hatred for Heiyi. If Liu Jingting or Ling Mengchu were here at this time, it would be good to give them the task of propaganda. But now Zhu Youcheng has no choice but to be a Feng woman again, re-operate, and come up with a propaganda plan.

The baby is illiterate, does not understand Chinese, writes novels, and says that commenting on books for them to appreciate, that must not work. Zhu Youcheng chose a form that is suitable for all ages and is popular with everyone - drama.

The script written by Zhu Youcheng is "The White-Haired Girl". The original storyline was that Xi'er was bullied by the landlord Lao Cai, fled into the mountains, and turned her hair gray due to years of malnutrition. Zhu Youcheng changed the name of the villain Huang Shiren to An Bangyan, and his identity was also changed from an ordinary landlord to Heiyi.

Among the carriages led by Zhu Youcheng, several of them are performance carriages, and as long as the walls of the carriages on three sides are turned over, they become a stage. And the actor is also ready-made, that is, the nurse in the medical care of thousands of households. The people in the medical and nursing households were all generalists, and they made the military rations for the march, played the accompaniment of singing during the march, treated the wounded after the battle, and performed the drama during the rest time.

However, although the nurses in the thousands of households are competent, they do not speak Yiyi. The four knights and the Yiren youths took the initiative to ask for help, dubbed them in the play, and translated the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty into the Yiren native language.

After the performance of the play, the captives were in a sensation, their eyes full of anger, and their resentment against Heiyi was overflowing. The shameless Zhu Youcheng's treacherous plan succeeded again. (To be continued......)
