After Wang Cong left, Zhu Gaoxu led people into the scene.

Fuchengyi has a wall, originally only a few hundred square meters, the Yan army used this place to collect and surrender, so that the troops built a wooden fence, surrounded by thousands of square meters.

Except for a few houses in the middle, the front and back are flat on the left and right.

Before, thousands of captives were crowded here, but now there are few people, and it looks empty.

There were about 300 guards watching, and it was relatively stable.

"Chen Wen, go and bring the official out first." Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and asked Chen Wen to bring a hundred people in.

After a while, there were seventy or eighty officers inside, and groups of ten people were tied hand and foot, and slowly moved out.

Usually, those who refuse to surrender are more generals, and then the cronies and soldiers who follow them will also resist.

Zhu Gaoxu stood in front of everyone, and everyone looked at him quietly.

Someone in the "tui" crowd suddenly spat on the ground.

"Mother's." Zhou Hu carried a big axe and stared at the crowd, trying to find out.

"I am Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, and victory or defeat on the battlefield is still a common thing." Zhu Gaoxu said slowly at this time: "You guys don't stop fighting, and it's not your fault that you were defeated. ”

"We are actually all people of the Ming Dynasty, so there is really no need to fight to the death."

"The real enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the remnants of the Yuan Army outside the Guanwai, and that is the enemy who bullies and oppresses our Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, many people's faces softened slightly.

"This king is the bloodline of the Great Ming Taizu." Zhu Gaoxu continued: "It is really a last resort to raise troops and appease, just because the butcher's knife of the imperial court has been put on the heads of our father and son, if it is replaced by you, I believe you will also fight for the sake of your family." ”

"There is nothing to argue about right and wrong, because if we win, the court will become a thief, and we are justice."

"Therefore, this king's sense, your useful body, should be kept for the future to fight against the Tartars." Zhu Gaoxu's voice became more and more indignant and awe-inspiring: "Follow me." ”

"I want to lead the servants, make meritorious deeds, and expel the Tartars."

To the officers, Zhu Gaoxu plans to be reasonable, this is our Ming old Zhu family, and they are all surnamed Zhu when they fight for each other, why do you bother with who to follow?

In case we win, we are the imperial court, and Zhu Yunwen will become a thief.

Zhu Gaoxu's words are not as simple and rude as Zhu Di, but the effect is not bad.

In fact, many people may want to surrender in their hearts, but you use a threatening tone to say to them, surrender or not? If you don't descend, you will cut off your head, some people are very unhappy, so they don't say a word, and would rather die, after all, some ancients still talk about face.

Zhu Gaoxu gave everyone the direction to go down the stairs, and by the way, he also drew a big pie to remind them that the benefits of successful rebellions have always far exceeded those of counterinsurgency.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the crowd came out, plopped up, and fell to his knees.

The crowd was in a group of ten, and this man came out and took the other nine out of the queue, as if there was a large crowd.

"The last general is Yan Qiang, who originally followed the king of Gaoyang County." But it was a deputy thousand households who took the lead.

This kind of thing is easy for someone to take the lead, and immediately people knelt down one after another, and expressed their willingness to follow Zhu Gaoxu, and some people said that Wang Yongwu of Gaoyang County was invincible yesterday and had long admired Yunyun.

In the end, there were about 50 people at the scene who were willing to surrender to Zhu Gaoxu, and about 20 more people were still silent, one of them, a little older Qianhu, still knew Xu Xiang, and he said loudly: "Brother Xu Xiang, give us a good time, let us follow the old general." ”

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to look at Xu Xiang and wave his hand.

Xu Xiang immediately led the group to the river.

"Chop" Xu Xiang did not hesitate.

Fluttering, the scene was full of people.

Then Zhu Gaoxu brought the soldiers out, a team of 100 people.

It is relatively simple and direct to talk to the soldiers, follow me Zhu Gaoxu, send silver, salt, food, and land every month, and go to the south in the future, bring your family together, and divide ten acres into Ding, and five acres when you see it.

Zhu Gaoxu was quick at that time, and in order to win people's hearts, he said very happily, this is also Zhu Di, the king of Yanyan.

Among the remaining more than 700 people, most of them chose to follow Zhu Gaoxu, but there were also dozens of old stubborns, and when they were pulled to the river, they kowtowed a few times in the direction of Zhending City, and they were held up.

On the same day, the Yan army attacked the city in front, and the corpses in the Zihe River behind blocked the river, and there were heads and corpses everywhere.

Considering that the same is true in the Hutuo River, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't understand why Zhu Di likes to cut off his head by the river, isn't this a proper polluted water source?

Not to mention that their army was stationed by the river, and they had to drink the water by the river.

Anyway, Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to drink it, so he found another small river pond, used the water in the river pond, and even boiled all the water in the camp before drinking.

On that day, Zhu Gaoxu ran two battalions, and finally received more than 1,200 new generals, reported to King Yan, and brought them to his own camp.

Zhu Gaoxu fought so fiercely that King Yan also intended to let him expand his army.

After this battle, Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses increased again, reaching more than 3,000 people.

After Zhu Gaoxu returned to the camp, the camp was full of his soldiers and horses, some were collecting and sorting out bows and arrows, and some were distributing horses.

In this battle, King Yan got more than 10,000 war horses, and Zhu Gaoxu divided more than 1,000, and now more than 3,000 people in his entire army have horses, and he was also assigned according to the war horses just now.

But his favorite is the bow and arrow, piercing armor, chain mail and other armor.

After each battle, he gave priority to letting people grab these spoils, which made his soldiers and horses heavy armor rate, second to none among all the soldiers and horses of King Yan.

Yan Qiang, the new generals, all followed behind Zhu Gaoxu, and they were all surprised to see the mountains of bows and arrows in Zhu Gaoxu's camp.

"Although His Highness's salvo of soldiers and horses is not strong, it is still quite stressful for us." There was a thousand households in the crowd.

His tone was a little unconvinced, because he was the one who had just commanded the infantry battalion to confront Zhu Gaoxu on the right flank.

This person's name is Hong Zheng, and Yan Qiang is still a fellow countryman, both from Guangxi, and he is Jin Rong's subordinate.

Yan Qiang was the first to surrender just now, because he heard rumors outside that Zhu Gaoxu sent Geng Bingwen's body back and released Jin Rong.

Hong Zhengjue's Zhu Gaoxu subordinates had many arrows and bows, and almost everyone had a bow, but many people's archery skills were a mess, but there was no way, there were many people on the battlefield at that time, and they shot randomly on the opposite side, as long as they shot into the crowd, they would be injured.

"Hahaha." Zhu Gaoxu laughed when he heard this: "This is called punching the master to death, it's okay if the archery is not allowed, let's make up the numbers." ”

"Our Nanning Wei is a few bows." One of the hundred households muttered.

Zhu Gaoxu listened to these people and found that the accents were very special: "You are all from Guangxi? ”

"Mostly." Everyone said.

Among those who surrendered to Zhu Gaoxu, more than half were from Guangxi, and eighty percent of them were from Nanningwei.

And the commander of Nanning Wei is Jin Rong, the commander of Nanning Wei in front of Jin Rong is Wu Jie, Wu Jie also led troops to help this time, but by the time King Yan defeated Geng Bingwen, his soldiers and horses had not yet arrived at the scene.

Jin Rong's subordinates are actually elite soldiers and strong generals, and they followed the pacification of Liangguang and Guangzhou, and fought every year.

Zhu Gaoxu listened thoughtfully, because the Guangxi soldiers in this era are still quite strong, mainly because the imperial court used more troops in Liangguang during the Hongwu period than in the north, if this army often fights, it must be more elite, and there are a small number of natives among them, who are even more powerful.

He deliberately took these generals to see his results, and then led them around and came to the back camp.

There was a huge camp of wounded soldiers in the back barracks, and the lightly wounded ones were now placed here.

Four healers and dozens of young soldiers were busy in front of the doctors.

Zhu Gaoxu snatched a folk man named Li He from Xiongxian County and sent him back to Beiping.

After that, in Juzhou, Yongqing County, Gu'an County and other cities captured by the Yan army, four Langzhong were robbed, pulled into the camp, each of them was given five taels of silver per month, and the family members were sent to Beiping, and a few Langzhong had no choice but to follow Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu also selected 30 young and lively soldiers in the battalion and asked them to learn to take care of the wounded soldiers.

In this way, Zhu Gaoxu's field clinic was the first to be established in Daming.

When the generals saw that there were actually four Lang Zhong in Zhu Gaoxu's camp, they all looked incredulous.

You must know that Geng Bingwen's 130,000 army only brought four doctors from Beijing, plus local recruitment, there are no more than ten doctors (Langzhong) in the whole army.

This is still when there is a war, and when there is no war, a few guards cannot be assigned a healer.

Everyone looked at Zhu Gaoxu's concerned greetings to the wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers' expressions were excited, and some even cried on the spot, and everyone looked at each other.

If the king of Gaoyang County can treat the soldiers well, he will inevitably treat them well.

After turning around the camp, Zhu Gaoxu recruited all his henchmen into the camp and redistributed.

Zhu Gaoxu's battalion is now called the vanguard of the Chinese army.

Xu Xiang had already reported to the king of Yan and was promoted to command, and the whole army was divided into three battalions, each with more than 1,000 people.

Zhu Gaoxu himself led the guard Zhongying, Chen Wen of thousands of households, Song Meng and Zhou Hu of deputy thousands of households, and 12 people from 100 households.

Xu Xiang led Wei Zuoying, Wang Bin of thousands of households, Wang You, deputy of thousands of households, Zhang Jie, Yang Yun, and eleven people from 100 households.

Weida led the right battalion, thousands of households Weida, deputy thousand households Hong Zheng, Sheng Jian, Zheng Xing, 100 households and 11 people.

Veda was able to lead a battalion because his daughter was Zhu Gaoxu's wife.

There is nothing else, Zhu Gaoxu believes that the last thing he wants to die on the battlefield must be counted as one of Weida.

Hong Zheng and Zhu Gaochu fought, and Zhu Gaochu felt that he was still relatively good, so he was assigned to Wei Da, and a large number of Guangxi soldiers were also on Hong Zheng's side to show Zhu Gaoxu's trust.

Because his soldiers and horses were identified as cavalry, they were not sent out to attack the city after the integration.

Zhu Gaoxu took his soldiers and horses to practice riding and archery nearby, and at the same time sent people around to find out if there were any pigs and sheep to feed the brothers.

Although everyone trained hard, the king of Gaoyang was very good to everyone, and the food was better than that of other battalions, so the brothers supported the king of Gaoyang very much.
