After the Han army defeated the Wu army, the general trend was achieved.

The Wu army no longer had the will to fight, and soon, all parts of Yangzhou surrendered.

Even if there are those who refuse to surrender, they are not the opponents of the Han army.

Lin Zhengyang entered Jinling, looking at the former capital of Wu State, there was only a thin white gas left above, and there was not much joy in his heart.

To be honest, now, having experienced a lot of war, I am not very excited about this kind of big victory.

In particular, this victory was planned from the very beginning.

Once that freshness is gone, all that remains is Xiao Suo.

Seeing the corpses, like garbage, being cleaned and disposed of, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

It is about "things hurt their kind", or "seeing life and not bear to see it die".

People also feel sad when they see their own kind of people who resemble themselves die, and they can't bear to see them die when they are alive······· The so-called one-thought kindness is nothing more than that.

It happened before his eyes, and he was touched to see it with his own eyes.

If it happened in a distant place, the subordinates reported how many people were killed in battle, even if it was more, as long as they didn't witness it with their own eyes, they would only talk about the numbers that these strangers regarded as cold?

In the final analysis, this so-called benevolence of human beings is nothing more than such a superficial thing·······

Sighing slightly in his heart, Lin Zhengyang instructed the attendant clerks beside him:

"Write down, whether it is our army or the enemy, the corpses of the dead in battle must be burned to avoid causing a plague."

"In addition, it is necessary to prepare utensils to hold the ashes of our army's fallen soldiers, and engrave their origins, lives, ages, origins, official positions, etc······ Write it down again, and from now on, our soldiers and soldiers must have identity plates, or wooden plates, or copper and iron, or gold medals······ in order to identify them. ”

The clerks who accompanied him immediately worked hard to write, and the pen and paper around him were all carried with him, in case he needed it at this time.

After making a note of it. The herald was handed over to the rear.

After that, he entered Jinling under heavy escort.

After the battle, the people here were panicked, and the streets were completely devoid of pedestrians, except for a group of soldiers under martial law.

Whether it is a pawnshop for rice, grain and cloth, the door is closed, lest it be affected by the war.

The rich and prosperous Jinling is such a depressed image.

That's the effect of war.

"Please move, Your Majesty, the city has not yet been cleared, in order to prevent Xiaoxiao from taking advantage of the chaos, the minister has ordered someone to clean up, it will take half an hour."

A miscellaneous general, kneeling on one knee, reported on the military situation ahead.

Jinling is also an ancient city, with a population of nearly one million, especially Wu Hou has been operating here for decades, and it is really difficult to say how many henchmen still exist here.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to go deep into the city at this time.

Lin Zhengyang was wearing a black robe with a black armor on the outside, and nodded slowly.

"What is the whereabouts of Wu Hou?"

"This ·······"

The miscellaneous general immediately replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general and others really failed to find any trace of Marquis Wu, and only captured Marquis Wu's three sons and married his daughters."

"According to the people in the city, I saw several sea ships before, and they hurriedly left the port, and it seemed that they had gone to sea."

"Perhaps····· Can you catch up now? ”

Lin Zhengyang waved his hand absently, smiled, and said:

"It's a sea ship that runs old by sea, and it's different from the land, rivers and waterways, let the sailor chase it, and when it comes to the sea, I don't know who is chasing whom!"

The inland rivers and lakes are very different from the sea and land.

If nothing else, the ships used are not the same.

A sailor who has never run over the sea and land, playing with a bunch of pirates on the sea, really doesn't know how to die·········

It's just ······ Sea?

Lin Zhengyang was a little funny.

Everyone wants to go to sea, if overseas is really so good, why don't you see the Central Plains Heavenly Sons of the past dynasties developing overseas?

At this time, there were no more overseas islands than in later generations, and they were inaccessible wilderness areas.

If you want to develop it, it will take you a decade or two to operate.

Even so, there is a prerequisite for having a reliable navy.

Without the foundation of the interior, it is not so easy to maintain the navy.

How much can the overseas population have? Even though many people have taken refuge in the sea after years of war, is the total population of one million?

Perhaps only about 100,000, but the population would have to be scattered across different islands.

Relying on this amount of manpower, if we want to clear out the wilderness that has never been reclaimed and develop it again, there is not a small amount of capital that needs to be invested.

Only losers, at this time, go to sea to gamble.

Lin Zhengyang sits on the inland and has a great country, and he can't take care of that side at this time, so he will temporarily let Wu Hou and Zhen Baoyu fight.

However······· When the world is at its best, it's time to assemble an elite navy capable of ocean voyages.

By that time, the islands in the coastal area, these two estimates have also been reclaimed, huh······ Just took over, and it was another breath.

The so-called predecessors planted trees and later people enjoyed the shade!

The plan has been decided, and Lin Zhengyang didn't bother with it.

Now that the left and right are now in the general trend, the south has been decided, and they are connected, and no one can turn the sky upside down.

As for the disposition of this Marquis Wu's family········

Lin Zhengyang frowned slightly.

Above the sky, a light rain gradually rose, and the clothes were wet and silent.

The people around him didn't dare to speak, just waited quietly.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhengyang still felt that there was no need to be too embarrassed, after all, the son of Wu Hou was also the son of the clan of the previous dynasty, and a few people could survive until now.

"The third son of Wu Hou, how old is he now?"

The general replied

"I look like I'm about four or five years old."

Four or five years old······

Lin Zhengyang didn't care much about it in his heart, so he took the opportunity to order the attendant scribe to record:

"I remembered the merits of governing and protecting the people in Wu Hou, and allowed his three sons and a female dependents to be innocent, and they were named long-lived uncles, and they were given a mansion and 3,000 acres of land······· Alas, so be it. ”

Saying this, Lin Zhengyang looked around and said:

"Wu Hou is really meritorious, I came all the way east, and most of the counties I saw were dilapidated, the people were ten rooms and nine empty, and the number of refugees was unknown."

"On the side of the road, I once saw white bones exposed in the wilderness, and the fertile land was ruined by the soldiers and civilians, and there was no harvest for several years······ As a result, there was a tragedy of human relations, and the people had to change children and eat each other·······"

Speaking of this, Lin Zhengyang really sighed deeply in his heart.

These tragic scenes, even the traversers, feel shocked·······

"Yangzhou has been stable for decades, Wu Hou has meritorious deeds, and I originally intended that if he could obey the heavenly soldiers, he should not hesitate to spare the prince, Danshu iron coupons, hereditary replacement······· It's a pity that it's not wise after all; It ended up like this. ”

"I am now rewarding his family for being kind to them······ After all, in the future, the people of Yangzhou will be my people. ”
