Chapter 168 Centralized Management of Prisoners of War and Methods to Increase the Right to Speak in the Qianlong Dynasty
"The long hair in the south is making a lot of trouble, everyone should cheer up, don't be careless, your head will be cut off by the long hair!"
On the city wall, several green battalion soldiers gathered together, chatting without a word, Li Youwen couldn't help but wrap the thin clothes on his body, exhale, and leaned to the torch as much as possible.
When the night cooled down, the logistics and armaments of their Guiyang Mansion were all greedy by the officials, and all that was sent to Li Youwen was a military uniform of seriously unqualified quality.
He Li Youwen, to put it bluntly, is not actually a green battalion soldier.
It's just that there are too few soldiers in Guiyang Mansion, and they are eaten empty by the adults, and now they hear that the south is making long hair, and they are afraid that the court will be held accountable, so they will randomly arrest some strong men and form a 'Xiangyong', because it is in Hunan, so this Xiangyong army is called the Hunan Army.
But in any case, the worry beating in Li Youwen's heart now is not this thin military uniform, but the long hair in the south.
Although the Ming army's offensive was fierce, some wealthy merchants, officials and remnants of the defeated army fled to Hunan, crying to the local yamen about the "cruelty" of Changmao.
In their conversation, Longhair wasn't your average hateful.
They confiscated fertile land, confiscated property, forced people to cut their braids, and gave land to the people...... Eh, wait a minute.
Thinking of this, Li Youwen suddenly felt that these long hairs were also quite good, and it would be better if he didn't cut his braids: after all, in the Qing Dynasty, cutting braids was a capital crime.
Although Li Youwen was moved, he also heard that these long-haired people killed people one by one without blinking, although they gave the people land, but in fact, they let the people work for them, and they worked hard for a year, and they couldn't get a grain of rice, so they had to be taken away by long-hair.
In addition, Long Hair also takes pleasure in eating people, each Long Hair eats ten children and two adults every day, and only the docile people can be slaves for them.
Thinking of this, Li Youwen couldn't help but shudder, a little scared.
Of course, some people say that long hair is not long hair at all, they are soldiers of the previous Zhu dynasty, all with white helmets and white armor, saying that they are wearing linen and filial piety for Emperor Chongzhen, which is the dynasty of our Han people......
Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, so that Li Youwen, a common man, can't tell the difference at all, so he can only hold on to the gun given to him by the yamen...... It's a red tassel gun.
How important was the musket in the Qing Dynasty, how could it be given to the mud legs? It's impossible to even give mud legs, and being able to give them uniform is enough to prove that the emperor's grace is mighty.
"Lao Li, scared?"
Suddenly, beside Li Youwen, a bearded man who looked like a veteran oil pat him and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be afraid, we have this." ”
With that, he pointed to the cannon on the city wall.
This cannon looks like it has been around for some years, and it is quite rough, but when it is placed on it, it gives people a very safe feeling, which also makes Li Youwen's heart calm.
Yes, our city is not an ordinary city, but there are artillery!
If those long-haired people dare to come, they will shoot directly and blow them up!
"These cannons have been in the yamen for seventy or eighty years, and I heard that they followed the regent to fight and pacified the three feudatories, which are the weapons of my Qing Dynasty, and I finally have time to use them today."
The bearded man laughed loudly, and then said to Li Youwen: "You just put your heart in your stomach, our Guiyang Mansion is a mansion, even if you want to fight, you have to throw thousands of corpses to take it!" ”
"After this battle, when the time comes, we will have the merit of counterinsurgency, I will be the chief soldier, and you will be the general, wouldn't it be beautiful?!"
With a burning beard and eyes, he looks very confident and thoughtful, but Li Youwen does not have so many ambitions, for him, he just wants to live, and what general soldiers, generals, etc., are not in his thoughts.
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
With this indifferent mentality, Li Youwen actually squatted on the city wall, leaned against the city wall, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard a chaotic sound, and the voice of a bearded man came from his ears: "Hey, wake up, wake up!" ”
Li Youwen woke up from his sleep in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a big face with a beard.
He was stunned for a moment, but then he became fiercely nervous: "What's wrong?" Is it the long hair? ”
"It's the prefect who has come to comfort the army!" The bearded voice was a little excited.
Hearing this, Li Youwen was a little bored, and was about to turn over, but when he went to sleep, he heard the beard continue: "We can each get a bowl of meat porridge with shredded meat tonight, and a reward money!" ”
"A penny!"
Hearing this, Li Youwen couldn't help but gasp: "Why is the official master so generous, and he actually gives so much reward!" ”
It doesn't matter what the meat porridge is, but the reward makes Li Youwen's spirit shocked, and he feels that he suddenly has the motivation to fight.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
The prefect of Guiyang looked polite, stood on the city wall with a smile, looked at the surrounding green battalion soldiers, and said to everyone: "This official knows, you have all worked hard!" In order to defend the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, they are all heroes of the country! ”
"If you win this battle, after conquering Guangzhou, you won't seal the knife for three days!"
Although Guangzhou was originally the territory of the Qing court, this did not affect him as a reward and was rewarded by the Qing court.
But......
It seems that someone has heard what the problem is.
"Conquer Guangzhou?"
Some people looked at each other and didn't understand what it meant.
Didn't they come to defend the city?
Is it possible to take the initiative to attack?!
This...... This......
The smart people were shocked, and for most people, they didn't hear the words of the prefect, but just shouted excitedly, saying something like 'Long live the Qing Dynasty' and 'Long live the emperor'.
Seeing this, the prefect of Guiyang couldn't help laughing, and then stretched out his hand, signaled the family behind him to put down the money, and said to the green battalion soldiers on the entire city wall: "Since this is the case, let's ......."
It's just that before he finished his words, there was a sudden 'boom' sound in the sky.
This voice couldn't help but make them stunned, and the prefect subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but the next moment, he felt a burst of heat around him!
"Boom ——!!!"
"Ahh
The cannon landed on the prefect's position with unmistakable accuracy, and in an instant, blood rained down on the entire city wall.
"Ah~!"
"Shelling, we are attacked!"
"Quick, hide!"
“……”
In an instant, the entire city wall was in a panic.
Li Youwen was already stupid, there were bullet marks left by shells everywhere, and various artillery points fell, making Li Youwen already in a trance.
His luck was better, under the first round of dense artillery salvos, he was only hit by a few small stones, cutting his forehead, blood gurgling out of his forehead, feeling the cold blood close to his face, Li Youwen reacted at this time, stood up in a panic, and wanted to escape.
The prefect has been blown into seven or eight pieces, and the bearded man next to him is only half of his body, still crawling, without the slightest appearance like he said he wanted to be the chief soldier, Li Youwen was even more frightened in his heart, he dared to look under the city gate, but he saw it like stars, countless torches flickered, and they moved forward together.
"Kill!"
"First on, first on!"
“……”
The noisy sound and the dust of the earth shrouded in the night, Li Youwen was so frightened that he trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only hide behind the pier of the city wall, trembling, and at the same time threw away the red tassel gun in his hand, holding his head, not daring to make any movement.
The entire Guiyang City was in a mess.
Guiyang City encountered the elite of the Xuande and Jingtai dynasties, and in Guiyang Mansion, there were only hundreds of soldiers and horses, and some strong men were captured, and they barely made up 3,000, most of whom couldn't even understand the queue, so they were naturally powerless to resist the attack of the Ming army.
Just as soon as the cannon sounded, it was completely dispersed.
The troops of the entire Hunan and Hubei, under the command of Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang on the front line, were all concentrated in the city of Changsha.
This Chen Huizu was the governor of Hubei, and he was quickly promoted after the war, and became the temporary governor of Huguang, and was under the command of the thief Fuyuan general Wen Fu, but now the general Wen Fu has not yet arrived, so Chen Huizu plans to exchange space for time......
It also belongs to the master of micro-manipulation.
Li Youwen naturally didn't know what the big man thought, and he could only bless these long hairs outside now if they weren't as terrible as rumored.
There were a few gunshots in Guiyang City, and the Qing army, which had some old firearms, still wanted to resist, hiding behind the bunker and shooting carefully, but unexpectedly was immediately shot by the Ming army's firepower, which frightened the Qing army and did not dare to come out at all, and was finally stabbed into a sieve by countless bayonets of the Ming army.
"You, get up!"
Suddenly, a familiar accent came from behind Li Youwen, Li Youwen turned around cautiously, and saw that the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at him, so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, and quickly kowtowed: "The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life!" ”
Seeing Li Youwen surrender, the Ming army did not embarrass Li Youwen, and then said: "You are from the local green camp?" ”
"It's not."
Li Youwen replied honestly: "The prefect and the local Master Liu and Master Chen jointly funded the formation of the township Yong, which is called the 'Hunan Army'. ”
"Hunan Army?"
The soldiers of the Ming army obviously laughed dryly, and then said: "What kind of rabble are you, and you dare to call it the 'Hunan Army'?!" It's really a shame on me Hunan! ”
This Ming army soldier is obviously also from Hunan.
However, the soldier did not embarrass Li Youwen much, and then shouted into the distance: "Take a rope here, tie it early, hand it over to His Majesty Jiajing as soon as possible, and our work will be completed!" ”
Although they are 'fellow villagers', there is nothing worth saying about the officers and men of the Ming army.
Since it is an enemy of it, then it is not possible to care about any fellow townsman and different towns, and this is a few hundred years later, for this Ming army soldier, the opposite side is 'Jiannu's soldiers', there is nothing to say.
In this way, Li Youwen was captured by the Ming army in ignorance, and he did not have any intention of being co-opted, but was assembled, escorted by an army, and went south.
Li Youwen glanced at Guiyang City.
An unfamiliar banner had been hoisted at the head of Guiyang City, a city that seemed invincible to him, but it was only half an hour before it fell into the hands of 'Long Hair'.
The speed of these 'long hairs' made Li Youwen deeply afraid.
"It's, it's terrible!"
At the same time, a terrible thought also appeared in his heart: "These long hairs have arrested us, maybe they want to hoard them as military rations, right?!" ”
In this regard, Li Youwen had no choice but to silently pray in his heart that these 'long hairs' were to capture him back as slaves for farming.
……
In Guilin Mansion, Zhu Houxi's face was dark.
He never expected that Zhu Zhanji was so simple and rude, and he used all the captured prisoners of war as slaves to pay off his debts.
How so...... did not violate the rules formulated by Zhu Houxi before: you can't use the people of the Ming Dynasty as slaves.
These are all prisoners of war of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what do they have to do with the people of the Ming Dynasty?
Today, there are 30,000 or 40,000 prisoners of war gathered in Guilin Mansion, and this number is still rising.
Zhu Di, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile lightly when he saw Zhu Houxi's appearance, and then said comfortably: "This Zhanji, I really thought of a good way...... But Hou Xi, you don't have to worry, I have already asked Gao Xu, Li Bin, Liu Rong, and Song Sheng to lead 30,000 troops to attack Xingyi Mansion, and I will set off in a few days. ”
Zhu Di said with a smile: "This method is good, all the prisoners I beat will be handed over to Hou Yu to pay off your debts, and then it will be hard for Hou Xi to integrate the prisoners in the rear!" ”
Zhu Di also owes Zhu Houxi a slave!
Not only Zhu Di, but also many people.
Zhu Houxi felt that he might not be able to participate in this battle, so he could only be a prisoner of war handler.
But......
That's not bad.
The corners of Zhu Houxi's mouth rose slightly.
For prisoners of war, these kings who are eager to expand their territory naturally feel that it is a burden, but for Zhu Houxi, it is not bad.
After all, in the Qianlong Dynasty, Zhu Houxi could only arrange 15,000 soldiers, but if these prisoners of war were used, then Jiajing's right to speak in the Qianlong Dynasty was not just 15,000.
"Okay."
Zhu Houxi nodded, and continued: "Chengzu, I will let the Jianzhou battalion of Merge Bi and Tu Mo's Manchurian battalion assist you, although they are Manchurians, they fight fiercely, and they are especially good at slaughtering Manchu cities. ”
"If there are any captives, let them be escorted back...... If the war is unfavorable, the Jianzhou battalion and the Manchurian battalion will also be put into battle. ”
Zhu Houxi smiled: "Chengzu doesn't have to worry about casualties, just let it go...... As long as the two minions of Tu Mo and Bibi do not die, the soldiers and horses of the Jianzhou battalion and the Manchurian battalion are enough. ”
Hearing Zhu Houxi's words, Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then agreed to this proposal without hesitation.
"Good!"
After Zhu Di nodded solemnly, he suddenly said to Zhu Houxi with a strange face: "There is one more thing, Houxi...... No, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Jiajing, discuss a matter. ”
"Chengzu, you say."
Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Next time I am called, can I use Taizong?" ”
"Okay Chengzu, I know Chengzu."
Looking at Zhu Houxi's expression that seemed to be smiling, Zhu Di could only forcibly suppress the idea that he wanted to go up and punch.
After all, you can't beat it.
"Alright, I'm gone!"
