On the second day after it was determined that Wang Tong would lead the army to evacuate Jiaozhou City, Li Yuntian hurried to Sanjiang Mansion with dozens of Xiaowu soldiers, 3,000 Xuanhua guards, and 2,000 native soldiers to deal with the chaotic situation.

Because Jiaozhi is now full of devastation and a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, Li Yuntian needs manpower to handle various affairs, but there is no one available around him, so he will bring the more than 200 Xiaowu army sergeants to do things, some of them will be reorganized and destroyed, and some of them will supervise the resettlement of the victims, and only these dozens of guards will be left around him.

Although Li Qingzheng and Zhao Weide recruited a lot of strong men from the people, making the strength of Xuanhua City reach more than 10,000 people, the soldiers were worried, and Li Yuntian reluctantly selected 3,000 people after relaxing the physical examination requirements.

Different from the soldiers of the Xuanhua City Guard, the local soldiers sent by several Tusi Yamen under the Xuanhua Mansion were accepted by Li Yuntian, who was not old, weak, sick and disabled.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, if he wants to fight a tough battle in Sanjiang Mansion, these two thousand native soldiers will be the most important bargaining chip in his hands and the key to his victory.

The reason is very simple, for the Tusi they are the private property of each Tusi, once the Tusi orders them to fight to the death, their battle will be stronger than the soldiers of the Xuanhua City Guard, otherwise they will be unable to escape death even if they go back alive, and their families will also be unlucky.

In order to enable the toasts to provide as many high-quality soldiers as possible, Li Yuntian gave each native soldier a salary of one tael of silver per month, three taels of silver for the wounded, and five taels of silver for the war dead.

Of course, this salary and pension money are not for the local soldiers, but for the Tusi to which they belong, and since the local soldiers are the private property of the Tusi, the money they earn will of course go to the Tusi.

Not only that, Li Yuntian also said that after recruiting native soldiers to join the army, he would pay a one-time salary of five months to his Tusi.

In Jiaozhi, two taels of silver are enough for a family's expenses for a year, Li Yuntian took out so much white silver at once, and in the eyes of the few Tusi in Xuanhua Mansion, it was completely a profitable business, and they were all moved, and selected the young and middle-aged people in their respective Tusi Yamen to send to Xuanhua City.

Li Yuntian did what he said, as long as those young people were recruited by Shun Lì, then he would hand over five months' salary to the officials of the Tusi Yamen who sent the young men to the Tusi Yamen, so that they would go back happily with boxes of silver.

He knew that there was no reason to talk about the mob that had fallen into a frenzy, so he ordered the heads of those mobs to be cut off and hung on the city gate to set an example.

Although this method seems a little cruel, it has to be said that it is very useful, since Li Yuntian left, the mob in this county suddenly stopped, and no one dared to blatantly make trouble anymore.

When Li Yuntian arrived at Sanjiang City, nearly 1,000 mobs and rebels had died under the swords of the soldiers and native soldiers who accompanied him along the way, which not only effectively deterred the mobs in the areas along the way, but also played a very good role in training troops, and at the same time announced to the outside world his hard-line attitude in the Jiaozhi war.

Because the soldiers and civilians who followed Wang Tong to evacuate the Jiaozhou Mansion gathered in Sanjiang City, and Sanjiang City could not accommodate so many people, most of the soldiers and civilians could only be stationed outside the city, sleeping in the open air, starving, and miserable.

Although they had only been stationed outside Sanjiang City for five or six days, the places where the soldiers and civilians gathered were already as noisy, dirty and chaotic as those victims outside Xuanhua City.

What is particularly unfortunate is that a moderate rain fell in Sanjiang Prefecture two days ago, which undoubtedly made the situation of these soldiers and civilians even worse.

After learning the news that Li Yuntian had rushed to Sanjiang City, all the officials in Sanjiang City went out of the city to greet him and greet the arrival of the highest military and political chief official in Jiaozhi.

However, as the highest-ranking official in Jiaozhi, Chengshan Bo Wang Tong did not appear at the scene to greet him.

It was not that Wang Tong deliberately neglected Li Yuntian, but after knowing that Emperor Xuande had sent troops to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, he knew that he had broken into a catastrophe, so he was discouraged and took the initiative to enter the prison of Sanjiang Mansion to wait for the fate of the imperial court.

Li Yuntian's arrival caused the soldiers and civilians outside the city to gather on both sides of the road, stretching their heads to look at the supposed general Nan who was surrounded by all the officials and entered the city.

Since Wang Tong, who knew Li Yuntian, was in prison, and none of the officials at the scene had seen him, no one doubted the identity of the supposed general.

Li Yuntian rode on his horse, quietly looked at the unkempt, haggard, and dull-eyed soldiers and civilians gathered on both sides of the road, and shook his head secretly, and from the dim eyes of those soldiers and civilians, he keenly realized that they were full of despair about the way out in the future.

After all, even the governance of the three divisions of Jiaozhi has been lost, can Jiaozhi still be held by the Ming army?

Once the Ming army is defeated again, then they will leave their homeland, and the hard work of more than ten or twenty years in Jiaozhi will come to naught.

After entering the city, it is assumed that the first thing General Nan did after entering the city was to go to the prison to see Wang Tong and ask him why he had negotiated peace with the rebels privately and withdrew his troops from Jiaozhou City.

Wearing handcuffs and leg irons, Wang Tong looked haggard and was taken by the jailers into a clean wing room in the courtyard of the prison, where in addition to the supposed General Nan and Li Yuntian, there were guards to disguise Li Yuntian's identity.

After the jailer sent Wang Tong in, he left in a witty way, and he wanted to open Wang Tong's handcuffs and shackles, but Wang Tong refused. The handcuffs and shackles were put on by Wang Tong himself, and he knew that he was guilty of a serious crime, so he wore torture instruments himself.

As soon as the jailer left, the guards guarding the outside immediately closed the door and forbade anyone to approach.

"Uncle Chengshan, why did you negotiate peace with the rebels privately and give up Jiaozhou City to the rebels for nothing?"

Wang Tong was slightly stunned when he saw the hypothetical general, and immediately found that the "Dingnan general" standing in front of him was not Li Yuntian, just when he was stunned, Li Yuntian, who was standing behind the hypothetical general, stepped forward and looked at him quietly and asked.

The relationship between the nobles in the capital is close and complicated, according to the seniority, Li Yuntian should call Wang Tong "Uncle Wang", but now Wang Tong has broken into a catastrophe, which makes the Jiaozhi shape further deteriorate, Li Yuntian, as the highest military and political chief of Jiaozhi, represented the imperial court when interrogating him, not when he set up friendships.!^!
