"General, the statistics of last night's battle are out."

On October 26, the morning of the first day of the occupation of Quanzhou Mansion, Chen Ying walked in front of Su Yan with a tired look and two dark circles under her eyes.

Su Yan took the book he handed over and looked down at it.

Because the city was taken by night attack, the casualties of the rebels were not many, more than 5,000 people participated in the siege, less than 200 were killed, and the Qing army defending the city was completely annihilated.

Before the siege, a full 5,000 Qing soldiers, minus those who died in battle, and those who disappeared in the melee last night (most likely took off their uniforms and fled to a residential area to hide), a total of nearly 4,000 people became prisoners in a daze—most of them had not fully woken up from their sleep, and saw the rebels rushing towards them with murderous spirit, without the intention of resisting, and then they laid down their weapons and became surrenderers.

Among them also included the subordinates who surrendered with Li Liancheng, they originally thought that they were in a group with the rebels who entered the city, but the rebels turned around and surrounded them first, they wanted to resist, but in the face of the muzzle of the black hole, the idea of resistance was suddenly forgotten, and they surrendered obediently with Li Liancheng.

The reason why Su Yan attacked Li Liancheng and confiscated their weapons was actually Chen Shitai's suggestion.

On the night when Chen Shitai personally sneaked into Quanzhou City and came back, he later suggested that Su Yan had better hand over Li Liancheng's weapons after entering the city and put him in custody, Su Yan was still a little puzzled, and after careful questioning, he learned that Li Liancheng often mentioned Zheng Yiguan in front of Chen Shitai before he surrendered to the enemy, and said that if there was a chance, he really wanted to follow Zheng Yiguan and become the overlord of the sea.

Chen Shitai was worried that he would take advantage of the chaos in the night raid to attack Quanzhou Port with his subordinates, seize the ship and go to sea, which would have an adverse impact on Su Yan's next rule of Quanzhou, so he proposed to temporarily detain him first.

Su Yan originally didn't care about this, but after seeing Li Liancheng anxiously asking for silver taels, he thought of Chen Shitai's suggestion, and for the sake of insurance, he still arrested Li Liancheng first.

Throwing his thoughts out of his mind, Su Yan continued to check the records in the book.

The biggest harvest this time is the money, grain, and cloth piled up like a hill in the treasury of Quanzhou City Government, a large number of knives, guns, bows, crossbows and arrows and thousands of sets of armor in the arsenal of the martial arts arena, which were originally used to guard against Zhu Chenggong at sea, but now they all fell into the hands of Su Yan.

So much so that now for Su Yan, money is no longer a problem at all, and he now has a lot of money and doesn't know how to spend it.

Putting down the book, Su Yan said: "All the 4,000 captured Qing soldiers will be sent to the barracks for training, and after the training is completed, they will be distributed." ”

"Yes, General." Chen Ying clenched his fists to receive the order, he paused, and asked, "What about the captured townsmen and brave men?" What to do with them. ”

"Them?" Su Yan thought about it for a while, and the brave and strong people who were recruited by Shen Wei basically surrendered, and Su Yan still remembered that Li Liancheng said that most of them were gangsters who had nothing to do.

"I remember that there are some iron mines in Anxi, so I will send them to the mines to work."

"Yes." Chen Ying didn't object, this kind of joining the Qing army to fight against the righteous army, it was all merciful to them if they didn't cut it directly, as for how long they could live in a mine with a bad working environment, it was not something he considered.

After Chen Ying left, Su Yan opened up the system space again, included the artillery foundry and the Admiralty in the construction sequence, recruited three teams of 1st line infantry, and included the 4,000 Qing soldiers in the whole training queue.

This operation cost him more than 8,000 taels of silver.

Then he summoned one of his generals, two civil officials, a gentleman, and a spy whom the system had rewarded him.

A moment later, the guards came to report that five people had asked to meet Su Yan and ordered him to bring people in, and five people of different ages and clothes walked out.

Among the five people, the young man standing on the far left was dressed in a red general's uniform, tall and muscular, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, an angular face, and a handsome appearance.

On his right, there are three people who are also wearing robes and collars, wearing the common square scarves of scholars, and the one on the far right is the most ordinary people's clothing, with a headscarf around their heads.

"Welcome all five of you to join our army, let's introduce ourselves first." Su Yan said, raising his hand to signal that the young man in the general's uniform should start first.

The young man did not shirk it, he stepped forward, gave a military salute, and said: "General Hui, his subordinate is named Su Ci, he is your distant brother, he just returned from Nanyang today, learned the tactics of the Taixi countries, and made good use of firearms. ”

Su Yan nodded with satisfaction, although he didn't know why he arranged the identity of a distant clan brother, but fortunately, he also had a commander who was proficient in firearms.

After Su Ci finished speaking, he took a step back and returned to his original position, and the first person on his right then bowed and saluted, and said: "Subordinate Chen Qiao, raise people for the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and meet the lord." ”

"Subordinate Xie Kan, Chongzhen raised people for thirteen years and met the lord."

"His subordinate He Jiuyun, not long after returning from a study tour in the Taixi countries, heard that the general wanted to carry out firearms, so he came to meet him."

"His subordinate Wang Yuanyong, the former Chaobei Town Fusi Fujian Thousand Households tried 100 households, and met the general."

After the five of them introduced themselves, coupled with the personal attributes of the system, Su Yan also had a better understanding of them.

First of all, Su Ci, his star rating is the same as himself, but he has one more characteristic: he is good at using artillery, Su Yan is ready to form a battalion with a high firearms penetration rate, including riflemen and artillery, which is specially under the command of Su Ci.

Chen Qiao and Xie Kan are both people of the Chongzhen Dynasty, in terms of personal attributes, Chen Qiao is partial to the people's livelihood, and Xie Kan is partial to prison, Su Yan is ready to appoint Chen Qiao as the new prefect, and Xie Kan is appointed as the same knowledge, in charge of arresting and criminalizing prisons.

He Jiuyun is a gentleman, Su Yan didn't expect him to wear the costume of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, he originally thought that the other party would be the same as the game, wearing a Western European tuxedo and a white wig.

The role of a gentleman is the same as in the game, which is to send him to the school to accelerate the research of science and technology, so Su Yan ordered him to sacrifice wine for the school to assist in the unlocking of new technology.

Needless to say, Wang Yuanyong is a spy rewarded by the system, but he was arranged to try the identity of a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and Su Yan also made the best use of it, since he was born in Jinyiwei, Su Yan is now short of manpower to collect intelligence, so he ordered him to recruit people in Quanzhou Mansion and reorganize a Jinyiwei who obeyed Su Yan's orders.
