Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 99
On the bank of Mayao Lake, in the prison camp.

Li Yuchun was in a state of panic all day long, always thinking that the next moment the Ming army would drag him to dig out his heart and soul. Now his mind is full of those people he killed during the bloodbath in Yangzhou, as well as Xiashi Town and Zhu The miserable faces of the people who were massacred in their family village were still shaking.

"I knew it would be better to kill myself with one knife." Li Yuchun sighed to Mr. Yan.

"The military sect must not give up on itself. Unless it is absolutely necessary, there is always a glimmer of hope, maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

"Now that it is in the hands of the Ming army, there is no way out. I shouldn't have hesitated then."

Although he also thought that the Ming army would not let him be the executioner, he didn't have the courage to kill himself, and he was reluctant to die.Finally, I lamented Mr. Yan's perseverance. If he could escape, he would definitely not treat Mr. Yan badly.

······
In the lake, in Zhu Yihai's ship, all the generals gathered.

After the victory, everyone's faces were full of joy.

One trick is to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and successfully wiped out five hundred Tartars and five hundred traitors on the bank of Mayao Lake. This is a tough battle and it is exciting.

Shen Wenzhong, the supervisory censor and assistant supervisory office, proposed to drag all the Tartars captured alive to Zhujiazhuang, behead them in public, then attack Zhujiazhuang, and cut off all the remaining traitors.

"These people's hands are stained with the blood of my Ming soldiers and common people, and none of them can be left behind."

Chen Qianfu suggested that the captives Li Yuchun, Ji Shiha and others go to Zhujiazhuang to persuade them to surrender, so as to prevent the 500 people left behind in Zhujiazhuang from fighting trapped beasts and avoiding casualties.

But no matter who it is, they have no intention of letting go of these Tartar traitors.

It's not enough for them to die a thousand times.

In this battle, the enemy dispatched 600 Jurchen cavalry infantry, [-] light cavalry from Li Yuchun's family, and [-] cavalry infantry, a total of [-]. They killed more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people. None of them escaped.

Tartar Jia Lazhangjing Jishiha was seriously injured and captured, while Li Yuchun led his troops to surrender after being besieged.

The Ming army captured more than 500 intact war horses, more than 200 slightly injured war horses, and many horses were killed or seriously injured and could not be used. In addition, many armors were seized, which were basically usable.

In particular, the five hundred soldiers of the Tartars were all in cavalry infantry armor, and their entire set of cotton armor was very good. Their bows and knives were also good. 400 people are also well equipped.

Now these armor weapons are basically captured by the Ming army.

However, Zhu Yihai was not too happy looking at these statistical reports. It might be a great victory for them, but for the Tartars, it was almost like pulling out their hairs.

Hangzhou Boluo has more than 30 elite soldiers from the Eight Banners, and there are many traitors and puppet troops led by Zhang Cunren and Tianxiong. This army is no less than [-], and it is just a partial division of Nanjing Duoduo. Duoduo stationed in Nanjing has [-] men Thousands of horses.

Annihilate one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred.

The generals were discussing how to execute these prisoners, how to distribute the captured armor, weapons and horses, etc., but Zhu Yihai was thinking about longer-term issues.

Zhujiazhuang still has more than 3000 puppet troops. This battle wiped out Li Yuchun's main force, especially after capturing the two main generals. Zhujiazhuang must have no fighting spirit. If you resist desperately, you may increase a lot of casualties.

Another one, even if Zhujiazhuang is taken down and Li Yuchun's entire army is wiped out, what's the next step?

Li Yuchun was only the deputy commander-in-chief of Jiaxing, Xiezhen, appointed by the Tartars. There were also commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang, and even the general Boluo of the Southern Expedition.

When the news of Li Yuchun's annihilation spread back to Hangzhou, I'm afraid there will be more Qing troops coming, and even Bo Luo will lead the army to come, but Zhu Yihai's new army of ten thousand people will definitely not be able to defeat him.

"The newly seized war horses, armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows, I propose to give priority to the flag bearer battalion and Yulin battalion, and the firearms to the Shenji battalion." Admiral Zhang Mingzhen suggested.

Ruan Jin said at this time, "The general thinks it's time to set up a water camp."

Zhu Yihai withdrew his thoughts, "The seized weapons and horses should be divided among the battalions equally. It would not be fair to the other battalions to give them to the Hbayashi battalion. weapons, etc., half of the captured battalion leaders can be kept for themselves, and the remaining half will be handed over to the battalions.”

Thousands of sets of equipment and hundreds of horses were distributed equally among the battalions, but in fact, they were not much.

But still have a bowl of water level.

"If you seize half of the equipment you keep for yourself, if you have surplus, you can exchange what you need with other battalions based on the principle of fairness and voluntariness."

"As for the establishment of the water battalion division, I think it's time. This time, General Ruan and others performed outstandingly, so they formally established the navy division. The battalion is named Fubo. First, four battalions will be established. Each battalion will still consist of 180 regular soldiers. With [-] long husbands. The existing ships in the army are assigned to the naval battalion for unified dispatch."

Ruan Jin's water combat skills are obvious to all, and this time he also made a lot of contributions. Zhu Yihai naturally fulfilled his promise and awarded Ruan Jin the commander of Fubo Battalion and the rank of general.

"Give Zhang Ying the sub-command of the Fubo Battalion, add the rank of guerrilla general, and divide the front and rear battalions, and give Ruan Mei the sub-command of the Fubo Battalion, add the rank of guerrilla general, and divide the left and right battalions."

"Give Ruan Jun, Gu Zhong, Zheng Lin, and Luo Yunzhang the positions of the front, rear, left, and right battalion officers of the Fubo Camp of the Navy Division, and the title of Du Si."

For the newly established water battalion, the seven generals appointed by Zhu Yihai were all one level higher than the normal ranks. The seven Ruan Jin, Ruan Mei and Ruan Jun were cousins. The veteran of the guard camp, who followed Wang Chuangzi and was the first to vote for Zhu Yihai, was also a Fujianese. He was good at sailing and knew how to use firearms.

Gu Zhong and the others were originally the officers of Wang Zhiren's township, and they were all from the Shuibing.

"Let's set up another horse camp."

This time against the Tartars, Zhu Yihai felt that it was still necessary to form a cavalry unit.

The cavalry and archers were selected from the battalions to form a horse battalion, and the new battalion was named Jinwu. First, the left and right battalions were built, each with 500 people.

Therefore, the whole army consisted of the fourth battalion of Zhejiang Zhenbiao, the fourth battalion of Shenji Battalion of Jingying, the fourth battalion of Yongwei Battalion, the fourth battalion of Bannerman Battalion, the fourth battalion of Habayashi, and the fourth battalion of Shizhong Battalion of Zhejiang Army. And newly established the fourth battalion of the Fubo battalion of the Navy, and the second battalion of the Jinwu battalion of the pro-army cavalry.

A total of 24 infantry battalions, 5000 naval battalions, 400 cavalry battalions, a total of [-] battalions, [-] people in Zhengyong, and [-] assistants.

However, the 24th Battalion of Habayashi in the [-]th Battalion of the Land Battalion is relatively special.

From 500 soldiers to [-] auxiliary soldiers when crossing the sea, now it will expand to [-] in one fell swoop, and the army will be doubled in just half a month. Everyone feels that it is a bit fast, and they are unwilling to stop. After all, the Tartars will come next time There may be more and stronger soldiers and horses.

It's just that the army has doubled, and there will be a shortage of weapons and armor, and even more veterans.

"Are you going to pick some from the captured puppet army?" Zhang Mingzhen asked tentatively.

Zhu Yihai didn't like to use those captive soldiers with corrupt military discipline, but Zhang Mingzhen pointed out at this time that it is true that there is a lack of experienced veterans in the army. After expansion and expansion, there are too few veterans in the army.When the troops were separated from Songpu, Ningbo, and Wang Zhiren, Zhu Yihai led 3000 people northward, and Yuyao was expanded to ten battalions.

Now it has been expanded twice, three thousand has changed to twenty thousand, and the expansion has been seven times faster, and the veterans are less than [-]%, which is very dangerous.

"After careful screening, select some to keep." Zhu Yihai finally had to compromise, but he still emphasized that if there is too much blood on his hands, don't do it.

Even if they are retained, they must be completely dismantled and observed for use.Once disobedient and disobedient to military discipline, strict discipline will be imposed, and he will be expelled if he commits another crime.

"Those bloody debts are all killed."

"The captive Tartars were all killed."

Zhu Yihai said the final decision coldly. The Tartars captured more than [-] soldiers, nearly half of them. Many of them were wounded soldiers. After they were surrounded, they were still very fierce and caused many casualties to the Ming army.

For these people, it is impossible for Zhu Yihai to release them, nor is it possible to persuade them to surrender and keep them.

No one has the slightest opinion on this decision.

Since the Tartars invaded, they never treated the Ming people as human beings, so why did the Ming army care about their life and death, instead of torturing them and directly executing them, it was considered kindness to them.

Otherwise, if Shen Wenzhong is to deal with it, his suggestion is to send these people to mines or shipyards in eastern Zhejiang to do slave labor until they die.

Talking about kindness to these people is cruelty to one's own people.

Although Zhu Yihai has not been in Daming for a long time, he seems to be a little numb to killing. Anyway, if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will not be polite to you.

Thinking of the Yangzhou Massacre, Zhu Yihai couldn't be more merciful.

At the end of the meeting, Zhu Yihai agreed to hand over the more than 300 Li Yuchun's subordinates to the battalions for selection and supplementation. Everyone left happily. Nobody wants it, and the rest basically won't go to waste and will definitely be snatched up by the battalions.

At this time, an experienced veteran is very sought-after, and they may not care whether these people have killed many people before.

As for whether they are reliable or obedient, these things will not trouble them. Zhang Mingzhen is an old hooligan, and Ruan Jin is a pirate. Those guys don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp. You can do whatever you want before, but in their hands, it’s the dragon. If the tiger has to lie down, there must be a way to subdue them and integrate them into the camp.

There were more than 300 people scattered among nearly 2 people, so there was no need to worry too much, although this still made Zhu Yihai feel a little uncomfortable, feeling that these people were not pure enough, and his new army felt tarnished after accepting them.

But due to the situation, he finally had to compromise.

Zhu Yihai left Chen Qianfu behind, and after a while, Yang Boxing, who had been promoted to the commander of the Yulin Battalion, came in, followed by a man in a cloak.

The cloak was taken off, but it was Yan Wogong who showed off his scalp.

"Students greet His Highness."

"Yan Qing has worked hard, please sit down."

Zhu Yihai first took out the secret decree that he had previously sealed as Yan Wogong, conferring Jinshi background, and conferring editorship on the Imperial Academy.

"Sure enough, Yan Qing fulfilled his mission, successfully lured the thief into ambush, and helped our army win a great victory."

"The student is just atoning for his sins and making up for his uncle's mistakes."

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. If you are alone, you will be awarded a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, and you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

Thank you so much.

"Originally Thief Li has been captured, and Yan Qing should come back from this dangerous mission, but I just have an idea, and I want to trouble Yan Qing again, I don't know if Yan Qing is willing to work hard again?"

My father-in-law Yan immediately said, "Is it related to Zhujiazhuang's Li thief guards? I have a plan to help His Royal Highness take down Zhujiazhuang without bloodshed."

"Oh, let me tell you!" Zhu Yihai was even more amazed at this scholar who shaved his hair and kept his braids and sneaked into the enemy camp for the country.

　It's going to be on the shelves today, everyone, please remember to help me pre-order it, please!
