Meng Qiaofang said this with a basis.

Because the retreat route was blocked, the rebels gathered in Dengzhou City and could not get out.

Since there was no way out, they risked their lives to defend it.

Chen Hongfan and others commanded the Changping soldiers, Miyun soldiers, and Tianjin soldiers...... They besieged the city on three sides and attacked the city several times, but no substantial progress was made.

Only then did Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin think of the Liaodong Army and felt that they should go into battle.

It's just that due to the pull of Chen Hongfan, Deng Xi and others, there has been no official decision.

But according to Meng Qiaofang's estimate, the Ming army will not be able to hold on for a few more days.

Liu Zhilun also knew, he got up and said: "Leave this matter to me, I will definitely handle this matter properly." ”

"The same is true of the marshal, Mr. Fan, and General Zu."

Meng Qiaofang nodded.

As a result, 8,000 captives were divided into separate captives.

Then interrogated one by one.

In the end, these captives saw their leader, who was read out and beheaded in front of the people of Huang County.

There are also companions who have committed great crimes, who are shackled through the streets and imprisoned for life.

The captives were all frightened by their own danger.

After taking a bath, some of the captives were taken to the martial arts arena and sat cross-legged under the stage.

Liu Zhilun, dressed as a Confucian student, appeared in front of them.

"Guys, you should be glad to be here."

Liu Zhilun said loudly: "Appearing here means that you have committed a small crime. The commander is lenient and allows you to make meritorious deeds. ”

The captives breathed a sigh of relief.

They felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Jianjun's words, and if he couldn't live, he wouldn't bother talking.

"But that doesn't mean you don't have anything to do." Liu Zhilun's face changed.

The hearts of the captives that had just been put down were instantly raised.

"Some of you steal chickens and dogs, some gather to gamble, some go to the Qinglou and don't give money, and some rob the house......

Liu Zhilun said with a serious face: "I ask you! Such military discipline, such ability.

Do you receive a generous monthly salary of three taels of silver per month?

Are you worthy of a pound of rice?

Deserve to get a few sets of clothes, the family deserves to get a share of land, deserve to participate in a blind date conference, and marry a mother-in-law! ”

The captives couldn't even raise their heads.

Those who are thin-skinned or have a little conscience are so ashamed that their ears are red.

Whatever the reason for joining the rebels in the first place, they always did bad things.

"Therefore, it is not an empty phrase to allow you to 'make meritorious deeds.'"

Liu Zhilun waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers pushed the cart in.

Hearing the footsteps, the captives instinctively trembled, and when they looked up, they realized that the cart they were pushing was filled with new clothes.

This batch of clothes was transported from Jinzhou Port to Laizhou, and then from Laizhou to Huangxian.

"To show your determination to change your mind, throw away the clothes on me and go and change into clean new clothes!"

Liu Zhilun said agitatedly: "From now on, you are a member of the Liaodong Army with glory. Under the leadership of Yang Dashuai, he broke the captives in the east and collected Mongolia in the west, won a wife and a son, and lived forever! ”

The captives were so excited that they got up and ran to the car.

"Line up and get dressed in an orderly manner!"

The general who is responsible for the distribution arranges loudly.

Each captive was given a set of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a hat, and they were not afraid of being ashamed and changed on the spot.

Change back to your original position.

Liu Zhilun took the barber to see which hair was scattered and sorted it out on the spot.

When this was done, the captives had a new look.

"According to the order of the Great Marshal's Mansion, from now on, you will be reorganized into an infantry division, numbered the new First Division, which means that you have changed your mind and face differently from the past."

As soon as Liu Zhilun's words fell, a general of the Liaodong Army stood up.

The general raised his fist and shouted: "The new first division, shake Liaodong." ”

"The new first division, shaking Liaodong."

"Be louder."

"The new first division, earthquake Liaodong!"

Prisoners of a similar situation were reorganized one after another, and there was still a group of prisoners, and the number was not large.

They were all terrified.

Because, the worst group has been beheaded, and the evil group has been imprisoned forever.

But they thought they hadn't done anything bad, but they couldn't get it together. I thought that Liu Zhilun and others were blinded by slander and treated them as waste, with no value in reorganization.

When these prisoners were brought to the martial arts arena and saw several cauldrons standing in the arena, their hearts sank to the bottom.

Wood was burning at the bottom of the pot, and boiling water was bubbling in the pot.

He...... They're not going to treat us like food, are they? The captive thought in fear.

Now, they are unarmed, and they are no match for the Liaodong Army at all.

One by one, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they walked into the martial arts arena dejectedly.

Liu Zhilun saw it and smiled: "Why are you all downcast, all raise your heads." ”

Some people lifted, some people lifted and lowered, and some people didn't.

Liu Zhilun laughed: "I think, you must have misunderstood, this pot is about to cook mutton soup." ”

As if to confirm his words, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army pushed the mutton in, threw it into the bubbling pot, and then added condiments such as chili peppers, and cooked it slowly.

"You were all coerced, and after joining the rebels, you were ostracized because you couldn't do those evil things, and you were beaten and kicked."

Liu Zhilun explained: "Now some people have paid the price for their actions, and some have changed their minds and joined the Liaodong Army.

All kinds of grievances and grievances can't be said in three days. In the future, you will also join the Liaodong Army and work with them.

Beating, scolding, and corporal punishment are absolutely not allowed in the Liaodong Army, so you can rest assured.

As for grievances, these mutton soups were compensated by the Liaodong Army on their behalf.

Not only that, but the warriors who have made meritorious achievements in taking the lead and killing the enemy will also come to this martial arts arena and dine with everyone.

Each of you will be rewarded with three taels of silver, and five taels of silver for settling-in expenses, which is a tribute to your kindness and courage.

You guys are worth the money! ”

Hearing these words, the captives wept. How many grievances they have suffered on weekdays because they refuse to go along with the dirt, they all cried out all at once.

Liu Zhilun didn't speak again, just looked at them quietly.

From them, Liu Zhilun seemed to see the soldiers composed of the homeless people he once brought.

In this chaotic world, human life is like a mustard, alas!

When they had cried enough, the mutton soup was ready.

Liu Zhilun ordered to distribute dishes and chopsticks to everyone, and he took a pair of dishes and chopsticks himself.

Then, Meng Qiaofang came in with soldiers who had made meritorious contributions.

The cooks served everyone a bowl of mutton soup and handed out two authentic Shandong flatbreads.

"Come, let's eat!" Meng Qiaofang raised the bowl.

The captives and soldiers raised their bowls with smiles on their faces.

Then everyone sat on the ground and drank the soup while eating the bread.

Or flatbread dipped in soup, that's called a fragrant.

After this period of reorganization, by the end of May, a total of 6,000 soldiers had been reorganized.

After such a long time of attacking, Deng Xi and others have given up the siege, and they have to go to the first division of the Liaodong Army!
