The battle ended before midnight.

To pacify the city, the Daming Dragon Flag was carefully erected by the officers and soldiers again.

Inside and outside the city, countless fires were lit.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who had just finished a battle to capture the city, did not rest here, but led the people of Pingding City to clean up the battlefield.

Under the city gates.

Zhang Zhiyuan, who wanted to go to check the casualties of the soldiers, was stopped by a group of civilians.

The leader is the person who deliberately smashed the rolling stone away when he first landed in the city.

Zhang Zhiyuan stopped and looked at the people blocking the city gate.

Before he could speak, the people were already on their knees.

"Thank you, General, for leading the troops and killing these damned widows."

"Thank you, generals."

Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands.

The soldiers beside him were even more advanced, and they came to the people and helped them up one by one.

His own generals have never liked such things.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the people of Pingding City who were always under the authority of the thieves in the past few days, and his face was solemn: "As a Ming army, it is our duty to defend the territory. This was attacked and harassed by thieves in Jindong, which caused you to be humiliated, and now that the thieves have been removed, you can live with peace of mind. ”

The leading people walked up to Zhang Zhiyuan, and their faces were still worried: "General, the county order is dead, and all the people in the yamen have been killed by thieves." And all the soldiers and servants of the city died. There are still a lot of thieves outside, will the general always be in the city with his army? ”

The four cities of eastern Jin are now in the hands of thieves, and now only this city of Pingding has just been relieved.

The people of the city also knew in their hearts that the army would definitely go out to continue the slaughter of the thieves.

It's just that these days, how many people in the city have been harassed by thieves, and people are afraid.

Zhang Zhiyuan's face was gloomy, and on the street behind the city gate, there were still the corpses of countless people in the city who had not had time to converge.

The first thing he did after taking Pingding City was to take people around the city.

A thief should be cut with a thousand cuts.

In just a few days, all the people in the Pingding City Government were killed, the women and children were bullied, and they died tragically in the county government's back house.

Not to mention the women of the city.

If it weren't for the thieves, they would have to beware of the imperial court soldiers and horses coming to conquer and suppress, but I was afraid that the women in the city would cry.

And the people who dare to complain and be dissatisfied, as long as they are seen, will be severely beaten at best, and directly beheaded.

The widowers who were arrested by the Ming Dynasty and brought to Shanxi Province to dig coal vented their anger that had been hidden in their hearts for many days in the past few days.

Looking at the people in front of him who asked the army to stay.

Zhang Zhiyuan clenched his fists tightly.

According to the original plan, after capturing Pingding City, he would take his headquarters directly south to Leping County.

After the imperial court soldiers and horses recaptured the four cities of eastern Jin, it did not mean that the matter was over.

It is also necessary to divide troops to go to various mining areas to eliminate the thieves who are still scattered in the mining areas.

"General."

The deputy general led the people from the city, and just heard that the people were invited, he couldn't help frowning and shouting beside Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan raised his hand and looked at the people in front of him with a solemn face: "Everyone, although the thieves in Pingding City have been ambushed. However, there are still a few thieves in the north of the city in the east of Jindong, and the order of the general is to completely eliminate the thieves in the east of Jindong.

What you have invited, you will know. It's just that the army still has military orders, and it is difficult to garrison the city of Pingding. Ben will leave a thousand men to garrison the city this time, and wait for the army to start early tomorrow morning.

You don't have to worry, I think that tomorrow after noon, at the latest, at dusk, His Royal Highness King Yan will rush to Pingding City with a large army. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan is also coming?"

When the people heard that Zhu Di, the king of Yan who was far away in Beiping, also came with soldiers and horses, they were only surprised for a while.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at these people who had been humiliated in just a few days, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

After several more reassurances, the people were persuaded to disperse.

At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan looked inside and outside the city gate.

"Give orders to the whole army, and do as they are ordered. After dealing with the affairs of Pingding Prefecture, rest on the spot, bury the pot and cook rice early tomorrow morning, and go south to Leping County. ”

The lieutenant was shocked.

Commander Zhang's military order was issued a long time ago.

All thieves, whether dead or alive, are killed and buried.

It's just that after seeing the scene in Pingding City with their own eyes, no one will feel that there is anything wrong with such a military order.

The military order was soon communicated to the whole army again.

In the darkness of the night.

The people of Pingding City, who could not rest in peace, looked at the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and began to urge those thieves who had surrendered to dig pits in places outside the city where it was difficult for the sun to shine.

From time to time, the horsewhip was drawn on the thieves who were digging pits and slacking off.

The surrounding Ming soldiers had no mercy in their eyes.

Under the hard supervision of the soldiers of the Ming army, in just half an hour, a huge hole was dug by the thieves who had surrendered.

"Throw the corpses in."

Zhang Zhiyuan's lieutenant personally supervised the work and gave the order.

The thieves began to throw into the pit the corpses of their companions who had been collected by the soldiers and civilians in the city and moved outside the city under the supervision of a new round of officers and soldiers.

This one took even less.

But a quarter of an hour.

When the thieves feel that they have done their job, they just need to refill the pit with earth.

The adjutant general's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly: "You guys, go in too." ”

There was a thief who understood the official dialect of the Central Plains, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Da Ming wants to kill them alive!

A chirping sound that the officers and soldiers present did not understand sounded.

The thieves gradually understood, and their eyes showed fear and anger, and they began to roar boldly at the officers and soldiers.

The adjutant general's face turned cold, and he was about to order the officers and soldiers to advance.

Zhang Zhiyuan had already arrived here on horseback.

On horseback, Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the thieves who began to appear chaotic, and immediately pulled out his long knife.

"Press it up! If you dare to disobey, you will be killed on the spot! ”

With the order of the commander-in-chief, the officers and soldiers suddenly showed their swords and guns.

"Kill!"

Outside the pacification city, the battle has been decided, but the shouts of the Ming army were heard again.

It's still the sword and shield soldiers in front, and the spearmen in the back.

Around the large crater, the range began to shrink forward.

The thieves never thought that the Ming army would be so determined, and they became more and more crowded in the panic.

In a short time, some people standing on the edge of the pit stumbled and fell into the pit.

"Kill!"

The officers and soldiers continued to shout in unison.

There were thieves who dared not to retreat, and soon attracted the killing of the Ming officers and soldiers.

In the dark of night.

The wails of the thieves began to be heard, and under the pressure of the Ming officers and soldiers, people continued to fall into the pit.

The officers and men walked steadily.

Even if there are thieves who fall to the ground, they cannot delay their steps.

Zhang Zhiyuan sat on horseback, quietly watching everything in front of him, and he didn't even notice that the deputy general was beside him.

The adjutant general listened to the wails of the thieves who kept falling into the pit, frowned slightly, looked up at Zhang Zhiyuan on horseback, and whispered: "General, if you kill like this, will the general be slandered by the Chinese officials?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zhiyuan only realized that the deputy general was beside him at this time, and looked down at the deputy general with a sideways eye: "Did the general do something wrong?" ”

"This ......" The adjutant general hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help reminding: "The benevolence and righteousness of the national dynasty were rare when the Northern Expedition was in the first place. The reason why the DPRK and China have brought the Japanese here over the years is also to dig coal mines and save the suffering of the people of our court.

As far as the Chinese officials of the DPRK are concerned, the general may feel that the general's murderous nature is more bloody, which is inconsistent with the benevolence and righteousness of this dynasty. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan sneered: "Our department was ordered to eliminate the thieves, annihilate the thief army, and dig a pit to bury the remains of the thieves in the middle of the night, so that they can be buried in the ground, so as not to cause local epidemics." Is not our army doing what is right? Not a teacher of righteousness? ”

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment, and the surprised look on his face was unmistakable.

Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at the deputy general lightly.

"Did you say yes or no?"

The adjutant general nodded blankly: "What the general said is extremely true. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said softly: "How the Jingshi Center discusses, that's their business." As a military general, we should know that everything should be based on military orders. How to make the commander's military orders go smoothly is what we should think about.

As for the DPRK? I'll wait for an explanation to those civil officials who don't know the geometry of swords and guns, and don't know the geometry of the weight of soldiers, and that's it. ”

The adjutant general nodded as if he didn't understand, turned his head and gave another order, urging the officers and soldiers to speed up.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the scene in front of him and smiled.

He still hasn't said a word.

That is, Taisun is the one who dislikes the Japanese people the most in the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find a widow in Yingzhou today within thousands of miles.

Yes, according to the news Zhang Zhiyuan got, they are all widows.

As for use......

Zhang Zhiyuan is reluctant to recall.

He could only say that Tie Xuan's guy was too frustrated.

As soon as he thought of Tie Xuan, Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts couldn't help but be stretched.

According to the news from the DPRK, this time, the two princes of the Southern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition returned to Beijing and became the king, and Tie Xuan probably wanted to return to Beijing together.

He already has the post of walking in the Wenhua Palace, as well as the post of the Ministry of War, if everything is not wrong, he will either enter the cabinet or preside over the Ministry of War.

Tie Xuan, a crazy guy, is going back to Beijing.

As long as Zhang Zhiyuan thought of this matter, he was very curious about the changes in the situation in the next short time.

Just when Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts were flying.

The thieves in front of them had all been driven into the pit by the officers and soldiers.

At this time, the people under the city wall finally understood the intentions of the officers and soldiers.

No one needs to summon them.

The people soon spontaneously rushed over with shovels and rakes.

"Rest the soldiers."

"I'll just do this little thing."

"The small people don't know how to do things, but this thing that deals with the land is the most familiar."

He was able to bury the thieves who had ravaged the city with his own hands, but the people in the city were delighted.

The generals on the edge of the pit looked at Zhang Zhiyuan with consulted eyes.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the scene and was surrounded by people, and more people in the city rushed over.

He nodded immediately.

Forthwith.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

The excavated soil began to be backfilled into the pit.

The officers and soldiers of the Ma military camp, who were already preparing on the sidelines, had not yet started their work, and the horses stepped on the backfilled holes.

Began to have people pulling the stone stone and guarding it.

The simple people of the Ming Dynasty, the reasons in their mouths are still difficult to refute.

Leveling the land, which can be compared to the stone stone.

In the face of such reasons for the people, no one can find fault.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are the ones who are most familiar with the land.

And at the end of the hour of the Son, the army began to rest.

Halfway through the hour, the army began to move south along the official road to Leping County under the watchful eyes of the people of the city.

Yue three days.

At the head of Shouyang City, a military report was sent to Zhu Yunxi through the military horse scout.

Zhu Yunxi, who was dressed in soft armor, bowed his head to review the military newspaper, and then handed it over to Cao Zhen and others beside him.

After reading the military report, several generals were silent.

Cao Zhen laughed twice: "The little killing god is really a little killing god." Originally, the ministers read the military newspaper of the Governor's Office, and it was often seen that it was famous, and at first I thought that this was just the fame of Beiping. When I see it today, it's really my big Ming Xiao killing God! ”

"The thieves in Pingding Prefecture and Leping County were all killed by Zhang Zhiyuan, and now they have been divided into troops to clear all mining areas in eastern Jindong. He commanded his headquarters to rush to Meng County, which was to continue to kill the thieves in Meng County. ”

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were gloomy.

Cao Zhen thought that the imperial grandson was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Zhiyuan's move.

He immediately spoke: "The soldiers are very fast, and I think Zhang Zhiyuan came to this decision in order not to let the army be sent by the thieves and delay the military aircraft." Weichen was a little surprised that His Royal Highness King Yan would personally lead the troops into Shanxi. ”

At the end, Cao Zhen changed the topic.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked up at the northeast of Shouyang City.

According to the military report of the past two days, his fourth uncle is probably already besieging Mengxian County.

It should be Zhang Zhiyuan's blessing.

The clan prince of the Ming Dynasty can be called to besiege the city for his soldiers, so as to wait for his troops to come and receive his military exploits.

As for the fourth uncle coming to Shanxi Road, it did surprise Zhu Yunxi.

The imperial court has a strict ban, but the fourth uncle can ignore the ban and lead troops south into Shanxi.

If it weren't for the fact that he came to quell the rebellion this time, or if he sealed the country without authorization, he would have been able to convict the court of a crime.

As for Cao Zhen talking about this at this time......

Zhu Yunxi looked at the other party sideways: "The army sorted out the report and submitted it to Yingtian, and said that under the turmoil in Shanxi Province, the number of thieves rebelled, and the distribution was wide, in order to protect the safety of the Jin people, the orders carried out by the army were all led by the rapid suppression of the turmoil." ”

This is the imperial grandson himself covering up the pit for Zhang Zhiyuan to kill the thieves.

Cao Zhen nodded: "Wei Ben went to the northwest to quell the turmoil, and there were also accompanying officials from the Shanxi Prefecture to the south of Taiyuan Mansion who went south with troops. His Royal Highness's northern tour was originally to discuss the exchange of markets with Warat and inspect the border passes. It's just that it's deep winter now, and the roads are covered with snow, whether Your Highness wants to stay in Taiyuan, or ......"

The biggest danger in Shanxi Province was when he was in Taiyuan City, when the reinforcements did not arrive, they were all occupied by Changsun Gong, Li Wenxiang and other anti-thieves.

After the birthday banquet of Zhu Li, the king of Jin, Taiyuan City was occupied by the imperial court soldiers and horses, and the anti-thieves were eliminated, and the situation in Shanxi Province was completely reversed.

As for the current rebel rebellion, for Shanxi Province, where the army is gathered at the moment, it is just a matter of time.

Even, no one mentioned that Henan soldiers or closer Datong soldiers should be transferred to participate in the counterinsurgency.

Zhu Yunxi opened his arms and slapped on the city wall.

"Collect Shouyang City, gather soldiers and horses, and go to see the fourth uncle."
