Chapter 37: Transformation
The explosions and screams that gradually came made Shan Haitao's heart sink to the bottom, and a trace of bad thoughts shrouded his heart.
When he rushed to Dongcheng, the scene in front of him completely fulfilled his inner guess, these flag soldiers in front of him were chased and beaten by a group of Ming soldiers with muskets, and the flag soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
"My lord, shall we fight?"
"Hit the hair, hurry up and run from Xicheng!"
These Han soldiers with blue flags were all beaten to ashes, and they stayed in Isn't it still a break, so there was a dramatic scene in Gaoyao City, and there were not a few soldiers who were killed by the green battalion soldiers and the flag soldiers who grabbed each other.
Shan Haitao, who galloped all the way to Xicheng, found that there was no Ming army here, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he was confused, hesitated for a moment and stopped, not in a hurry to get out of the city, and was ready to wait for the follow-up to flee to come and collect some pieces of walking, so as not to go back so gloomy.
After waiting for a long time, I saw a group of flag soldiers and battalion soldiers running over crying wolf, the number of people was less than 100, and there was no Ming army chasing behind. Shan Haitao took a look, and saw that there were only a few dozen flag soldiers inside, and among them, the blue flag Han Army Qianzong Xiao was also embarrassed in it, and he couldn't help but sink suddenly, knowing that it was not good, it seemed that most of his subordinates were caught up by the Ming army, and eighty percent had no chance to escape.
Shan Haitao looked at Xiao Stock, and angry flames flashed in his eyes, it was these bannermen and his subordinates who grabbed the road, and his own men and horses would lose so much.
"My lord, let's go!"
The leader of the soldiers looked anxiously behind him, and whispered to Shan Haitao not to wait, Shan Haitao sighed, nodded slightly and beat his horse out of the city, Xiao Dian saw that Shan Haitao ran out of the city, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the remnants of his men out of the city gate and rushed away, for fear of being overtaken.
The two of them had just left the city gate not far away, but a large group of Ming troops appeared on both sides of the empty city gate.
The sudden appearance of the Ming army made Shan Haitao stunned and strangled his mount, the Ming army was menacing, and his heart was not good, Shan Haitao subconsciously hit the horse and ran backwards: "There is an ambush, there is an ambush, go back to the city, go back to the city quickly!" ”
Xiao Dian next to him showed a bitter face, stopped, and looked at the city gate behind him in despair: "It's over, it's too late." ”
Shan Haitao's face changed, and he turned his head to look at the city gate, only to find that the city gate was slowly closing, and at the same time, the gate of hope in his heart was closed.
A large number of Ming troops appeared on the city wall at some point, holding muskets at the Qing army below.
"Surrender!"
In this open space, Shan Haitao understood that these people were living targets, and they couldn't escape, and the only way to survive was to surrender.
"Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender."
"I'm Han, don't kill me"
One after another, the soldiers put down their weapons and knelt on the ground, knowing that the general trend was gone, Shan Haitao threw away the weapons in his hands in defeat, dismounted and bowed his head.
Seeing that after cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Si walked to Yang An's side and whispered in his ear: "General, is it according to the old rules to surrender?" ”
The old rule that Zhao Si said is to kill officials but not soldiers, and let the green battalion soldiers kill officials as a vote.
Yang An was silent, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"It's all cleaned up, there will be a tough battle to fight next, these people are hidden dangers to stay, and besides, this group of crazy fanatics should pay for the blood debt of the people in the city."
Yang An's tone was calm and comfortable, but it made Zhao Si feel a chill for no reason, and respectfully led his subordinates to the cemetery far away from the city to become farmers.
When Shan Haitao and others were driven to the dug pit, Shan Haitao couldn't figure out what was going on, he was still thinking about being recruited by the generals of the Ming army, and saw what benefits he could win when he saw it.
Under the persecution of the Ming army's bright sword, all the Qing troops and Shan Haitao were forced into the big pit dug up, and when the Ming army with shovels above dug the soil on the heads of the people below, no matter how stupid people were, they understood that these Ming troops were going to kill themselves alive.
Suddenly, the sound of the Qing army's abuse in the pit resounded over the cemetery, and the Qing army, who was unwilling to wait for death, wanted to struggle to jump out of the pit, but they were greeted by the cold blades of the Ming army above, and the blood rendered the soil brown, which was shocking.
Looking at the dying and struggling people in the pit, looking at their angry and desperate eyes, Yang An's heart trembled, and a trace of unbearable thought rose in his heart, wanting to stop the pit killing.
Closing his eyes, his mind still echoed with the despair of everyone before he died, biting his lips, and constantly hinting to himself in his heart, they deserve to die, you don't have a burden in your heart.
After repeating this many times, Yang An calmed down.
Yang An already felt uncomfortable after killing hundreds of people, but when he saw the soldiers around him looking at him, in addition to the basic respect for Shangguan, there was also a trace of awe in the depths of his eyes.
This made Yang An want to kill the god Bai Qikeng and kill millions of soldiers of Zhao State, if it was really a crime to kill one, and Tu Wan was a hero; Slaughtered nine million, it was for the male of the male.
Where the heart desires, dare not speak falsely.
In the name of his hundred years of benevolence and righteousness, I only wish to bring a trace of majesty to this land with the three-foot green edge in my hand.
Looking at the sky, where heroes don't kill.
When Zhu Defei saw Yang An again, he couldn't help but be surprised.
In the past, although Yang An was amazing, but the whole thing looked like an ordinary person, and in modern terms, it was a kind of dick silk temperament, but now Yang An exudes a trace of heroic temperament, which makes people can't help but surrender.
"Uncle Zhu, how is the population arrangement in the city?"
"It's all arranged, that Ren Changhe is a good hand in people's livelihood, and with his help, I have saved a lot of trouble."
"In that case, let's see if he can and absorb him."
Yang An took out a hardcover book from his arms and handed it to Zhu Defei, who had seen such a beautifully packaged thing before, and was not surprised, but seeing Yang An's solemn face, he took it carefully.
"Now that we have occupied a city, this is the livelihood strategy that I have sorted out for future development, you can see if there is anything that is not suitable, and we will discuss it together."
Zhu Defei took the book and carefully flipped through a few pages, the shock on his face quickly spread, and his voice trembled, "Virtuous nephew, this is what you think, virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew is a great talent!" ”
The things developed by Yang An in the past made Zhu Defei think that he only knew how to use obscene skills, but he didn't expect that Yang An was indeed a talented person.
Yang An gave Zhu Defei a detailed description of each item on the book "military merit awarding system, compulsory military service system, commercial tax law...... and so on, which Yang An found from the modern website, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the past and the present.
"But to give the soldiers and military fields, but there is a trouble, I have calculated that there are about 100,000 acres of fertile land in the city, but all of them are the fields of the big families in the city, if you want to rob their fields, it is undoubtedly to cut their flesh and blood, move their roots!"
Facing Zhu Defei's worried appearance, Yang An's face remained unchanged and said: "The big families in Gaoyao City are all in Dongcheng, and this time Dongcheng is the most seriously affected, a large part of them have disappeared, then their fields will be used as public land, as for the remaining only a small number of people, we can give a certain amount of compensation, if you don't know the current affairs......"
"If we continue to promote the high-yielding rice seeds I brought, we will definitely get a huge harvest."
Zhu Defei heard that Yang An's tone was not good, and he didn't say much at the moment.
When the notice of all the policies was posted the next day, the city of Gaoyao suddenly exploded, and the ordinary people who got the land were naturally grateful to Yang An, and some people even set up a longevity card for Yang An at home. And those big families exploded the pot and secretly discussed to make a move, but before they could act, they were destroyed by Yang An, who had been waiting for a long time, with thunderous means.
After taking Gaoyao City, Yang An sent people to contact Li Dingguo's Ministry of Nanming, with Li Dingguo's containment, the Qing army in Guangzhou did not dare to move, and the Qing army in Zhaoqing Mansion was afraid of the Yang army that could annihilate Gaoyao City silently, and Yang An sent troops to feint Zhaoqing Mansion, which frightened the Qing troops in Zhaoqing Mansion and retreated in the city.
Yang An took this opportunity to take in the homeless people on a large scale, and the attraction of having a place for people to live in these years was not intended to be a light in the darkness, Yang An recruited young and strong soldiers among the homeless, and gave them land to settle down in Gaoyao City.
