Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 516 Disposal of Prisoners

Without Li Dingguo's report, Zhu Youjian stood at the top of the city with a telescope in his hand, and he had already seen the situation on the battlefield clearly.

How did the soldiers know what Zhu Youjian was thinking, they thought the emperor was just killing the rebels.

In fact, Zhu Youjian was going to kill all the Matalan soldiers who came to attack the city, not because he was cruel and merciless.

He mainly wanted to avenge those compatriots who were massacred by the natives in later generations.

"Your Majesty, those Matalan soldiers were stupefied by Daming's thunderous fury. Look, they don't even have the courage to resist."

Qi Jiguang was also paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, and he also saw all this clearly.

He put down the binoculars, said to Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian nodded, all of this was as he expected.

The weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty are beyond the imagination of these natives. It can be said that they are armed to the teeth.

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"Qi Jiguang, in your opinion, how do you deal with these captives? Are they all pushed into trenches and buried?"

Qi Jiguang hastily cupped his hands again:

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, I can't kill these captives who have lost their resistance. Give them a hundred guts, and they won't dare to fight against me, Da Ming again. Let them attack Mata Lan King Capital and others. islands.

If we only use our own soldiers, there will not be enough personnel. It is the best choice to use the soldiers who are sincerely loyal to Daming and let them bite dogs. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? "

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Originally, I didn't intend to let them go. Since General Qi pleaded for them, I will hand them over to you, but one thing must be remembered: kill all rebels on the spot, no matter who they are."

Qi Jiguang smiled confidently, and hurriedly thanked:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I obey the order!"

After receiving the decree, Qi Jiguang immediately issued an order:
"Come here, inform the two generals Huang Degong and Li Dingguo, let them take in the Matalan soldiers who have lost their resistance, and train them to quickly familiarize themselves with the use of flintlock guns, and let them attack Matalan King City in three days."

"Yes"

The messenger galloped out of the city and conveyed Qi Jiguang's order to Li Dingguo and Huang Degong.

"General, the governor has an order for you to accept these prisoners..."

The messenger conveyed Qi Jiguang's exact words to Li Dingguo and Huang Degong verbatim.

"Understood, go back and tell the governor, we will immediately recruit these prisoners."

"Yes"

After Li Dingguo and Huang Degong took the order, and after the two discussed it, Li Dingguo called an interpreter:

"Order these captives to line up immediately, and the governor will give a lecture."

"Yes"

The interpreter of the Ming army turned around and went to the small leaders of the Matalan prisoners and said:

"The general has an order to accept your surrender and let the soldiers line up immediately. The two generals of Ming Dynasty will give a lecture."

"Really? Thank you, General of the Celestial Dynasty, for not killing him. We will definitely do our best for Daming."

The words of translation immediately made the little leaders burst into tears of gratitude, and kowtowed their heads on the ground.

They don't need to die, they are still soldiers of Ming Dynasty. Although they are puppet soldiers and cannon fodder of Ming Dynasty, at least they won't be killed now.

With the power of the Ming army, even if it is cannon fodder, they think it is worth it, who would dare to fight against Ming.

Several small chiefs were the leaders of the native soldiers who surrendered. After they got up from the ground, they happily came to the soldiers under their command and shouted:

"Brothers, get up and line up for me. General Da Ming has promised not to kill us and accept our surrender. We will never fight against the army of the Celestial Dynasty again. Quickly line up and wait for the Lord Celestial Dynasty to speak."

The Matalan soldiers thought they were going to be killed today, but when they heard the headman's words, it was like a prisoner who was pushed to the guillotine and suddenly acquitted.

"Really? We're not dreaming, are we? The Emperor of Ming Dynasty let us go? That's great, thank the Emperor of Heaven for not killing us..."

Seeing the happy appearance of their subordinates, the leaders were also very happy, and they all felt that they had made the right bet.

Under the command of the leader, five thousand Ma Dalan soldiers quickly lined up to wait for General Daming to speak.

Li Dingguo and Huang Degong came over immediately after seeing them line up.

But seeing their formation, the two were a little dumbfounded.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty lined up neatly, with their heads held high and their chests held high.

Although these captured soldiers tried their best to line up, their formation was in a mess.

"Come on, teach them how to line up."

Li Dingguo gave an order, and immediately dozens of soldiers of the Ming army began to instruct the prisoners how to line up and stand.

"Stand up straight, with your head held high, and those behind you look forward, like a straight line. If you find someone who can't do it, you will be punished on the spot."

A bad formation means being executed on the spot. This time the Ma Dalan captives were frightened, and they all obediently followed the Ming army's requirements.

In the face of life and death, they finally stood up like human beings, and within a short time of incense, they almost succeeded in forming a formation.

Although it is still a little crooked, it is much better than before, at least it looks like a formation.

Li Dingguo knew that they had never been trained in this way, and it was not easy to do so, so he didn't continue to force them.

Seeing that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their eyes to look at the Ming army, Li Dingguo said sharply:
"Hold your head up and straighten your backs. You are already soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, not the undisciplined Matalan soldiers of the past."

"Yes"

Under the stern eyes of Li Dingguo and Huang Degong, the captured soldiers of Ma Dalan slowly straightened up and looked up at Li Dingguo, Huang Feiyu and others.

Although their eyes were a little dodgy, for fear of offending Daming Grandpas, they already dared to raise their heads.

Li Dingguo nodded in satisfaction, and began to lecture:
"From now on, you have become members of the Ming Army, that is, soldiers who cooperate with the Ming Army. We will temporarily call you the Ming Alliance Army. Your original leader is still your direct boss, but Daming will send a warlord to station.

From now on here, the people of Ming Dynasty will be first-class citizens, and you will be citizens second only to the people of Ming Dynasty, and you will cooperate with Ming Dynasty to manage this place.

As long as your family members sincerely submit to Da Ming, Da Ming will not hold them accountable and will give them the same status as you.

If you perform well enough, Daming will give you the best rewards, not only silver, but also the same honor as the citizens of Daming.

Remember, all things must be based on Daming's interests, and you must not do anything that endangers Daming, otherwise the whole family will be responsible together with you.

You have to practice formation every morning. Daming will have instructors commanding, and at the same time practicing marksmanship, we will give you firearms.

If it is found that someone has done something unfavorable to Daming, such as violating regulations, being corrupt, or wanting to rebel.Not only will individuals be killed, but your entire team and family members will be executed on the spot. I hope you will supervise each other.

That's all I'm asking you to do for the time being, how about it?Can you all do it?Answer Ben Dudu! "
