Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 772 The Ming Army Has Entered the City

Someone in the main hall seemed to be yelling something at the end, and someone who could understand said something, "I will not let you go if you become a ghost", but these words were quickly drowned in the roar of the artillery.

Although the shells fired by the artillery were nothing more than iron balls and shot balls, the firing of dozens of cannons was enough to completely destroy the palace.

After the second round of shelling, the screams were no longer heard. After the second round of shelling, the entire palace began to collapse, and there was no need to bombard it. The Spearmen of the Huwei Army and the soldiers of Ji Town who had not participated in the battle all the time Finally joined the battlefield, what they have to do is sort out the people under the ruins, and make up for those who haven't been killed.

The bodies of Senggeduleng, Lalik and Sanniangzi were all found under the ruins. In the offensive and defensive battles of the palace, the Tartar soldiers killed and injured nearly 3000 people. To be precise, 3000 people were killed in battle. Such a death rate, Even higher than when defending the city.

"The property in the palace and the warehouses in the city are strictly guarded, and the generals and soldiers who dare to stretch out their hands will act according to military law!"

After Wang Tong said this, Ma Yong, who was born in Datong Town, wanted to argue after hearing this, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't open his mouth.

The cavalry in Datong Town and the cavalry of the Huwei Army are also familiar, and the friendship between Ma Yong and Ma Sanbiao is even better.

After the simple discussion was over and the generals went out to make arrangements, Ma Yong and Ma Sanbiao complained privately:
"The commander-in-chief is too unreasonable. The brothers desperately followed into the city, but the things in the palace and warehouse were not allowed to be touched. What's the point of that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Sanbiao laughed back and said:
"You're out of your mind. What is the commander in chief? He's talking about the palace and public treasuries. There are so many rich Tartars in this city. Why are you staring at these big heads so stupidly?"

After being told this, Ma Yong from Datong Town suddenly realized, slapped his forehead and said with a dry smile:

"I didn't expect people like Dashuai to make fuss about words. I'm confused, I'm confused!"

Ever since Wang Tong led the army out of the fortress, he acted simply and without any ambiguity, but today's words contained several meanings, which made everyone who was used to the swift and swift not react for a while.

After the Ming army closed all the gates of Guihua City, the siege battle finally came to an end. Because Guihua City is a city of herdsmen, there are also large areas of corrals in the city, where a large number of livestock are kept in captivity. There are several areas dedicated to placing tents for foreign dignitaries.

These open spaces were all used, either for the luggage of the Ming army, or for the dead soldiers of the opposing Ming army. The weather was cold, so there was no need to worry about the decay of the corpses. After simple treatment, they could wait for arrangements.

The laborers who work on these guys are not the security guards and chief husbands of the Huwei Army, nor the soldiers of Ji Town. The peasant husband began to work.

In the street fighting, some of the buildings that the Tartars relied on were directly smashed with logs, some were directly burned by fire, and some were directly destroyed by artillery.

When fighting for life and death, naturally they don't care so much, but when the fighting stops, these ruins must be sorted out, otherwise the army will not be mobilized smoothly, and the big event will be delayed.
These ruins were all thrown outside the gap in the city wall, and a simple fort was built there with discarded bricks and stones. The gap will definitely be called a loophole in the city defense. A firearms fortification was built directly.

Four three-jin cannons and three hundred gunners were stationed there, and a battalion of Jizhen soldiers was placed nearby, which was enough to guard against the enemy who charged in from here.

That night, the gate to the south was opened, and several big fires were lit. The men in the city brought out the corpses of the Tartars and burned them. Although the weather was cold, but just in case, all the belongings of these people were looted. , as extra money for the soldiers to work hard for a day.

Although the main hall of the palace was destroyed, it was still the most suitable place to live in Guihua City, with a closed defense, comfortable rooms, and many beauties of various ethnic groups.

It can also be seen that the city was broken so suddenly, and the nobles of the Ida Department hadn't had time to slaughter their concubines, wives and daughters. Because they were afraid of being insulted by the enemy, it almost became a tradition to kill the female relatives after the defeat.

Despite all the benefits, Wang Tong did not make this mistake. He captured the enemy's capital and slept in the enemy's palace. If someone had ulterior motives, it would not be worth it.

Wang Tong still set up a command tent in the city. The place where he was located was the place where the Royal Palace Guards were stationed. The place is spacious, and the two regiments of Tiger's Might Army can be dispatched nearby, which is very convenient.

The cavalry immediately began to repair, and the infantry had two battalions responsible for patrolling and guarding. The city was divided into various defense areas, guarded by the Huwei army and Jizhen soldiers.

A team of one hundred people, the heavily armed Ming army began to patrol the city, and the situation has almost settled down. Occasionally there is resistance, and occasionally there are shouts of killing from somewhere, but these are not the mainstream anymore.

The smell of burning corpses outside the city filled the whole city. People in the military camp were used to seeing life and death, so they didn't care. There were big pots everywhere in the camp, and mutton and beef were rolling in the pot, and the aroma was also wafting.

Most of the soldiers had expressions of excitement and exhaustion on their faces. For them, today was really not a hard battle. It was really not tiring to kill the defeated and unresisting Tartar soldiers.

The firecrackers and artillerymen worked much harder, and the people on duty had to work hard. The people who took a break after shifts just slept soundly in tents or by the campfire, and the exhaustion of the day was turned up at this time.

Wang Tong listened to the reports of the generals in his military tent. Although it was late at night, he could not rest as the commander. Entering Guihua City did not mean that he could sit back and relax. Things are just getting started.

Several city gates have been arranged for defense, Yang Jin led people to go out to inspect everywhere, and the spy leader lurking in the city is coming to report again.

Sanjiang Commercial Firm, Jinhe Commercial Firm, Yongsheng Commercial Firm, and some large and small commercial firms are all owned by the Huwei Army. They have been operating in Shanxi for a long time, and they have been doing business with the Tartars. Naturally, they are in the city again. To make money, and to inquire about the news, the Tartars looted and looted the property of the Han people yesterday. On the contrary, they have been trained in this area, and they have not suffered any casualties since they were hidden, and they can come to lead the way when the army enters the city.

"Speaking of which, you are the group of people recruited by Zhang Shiqiang when I first went to Tianjin Wei, but I didn't expect to see you here in Guihua City."

Wang Tong smiled and said to a young man that when he first arrived in Tianjin Wei, he placed eyeliner in the homes of Bing Beidao and others in the city. Zhang Shiqiang recruited a group of young people in the capital and Tongzhou. After Wang Tong completely controlled Tianjin Wei, These young people were regarded as the backbone and sent to various places.

"The commander-in-chief still remembers the villain, and the villain is terrified."

The leader of the detailed operation quickly stood up to answer, Wang Tong waved his hand with a smile, and said:
"There is nothing to panic about. After this time, your business must continue. This Guihua City is a treasure land. The tribes in the west and east, and the merchants in Mobei and Daming will all do business here and expand their business here. , the money earned is enough to maintain this side, and it is also enough for you to be rich for several generations."

The leader of the detailed operation surnamed Chen paused, and said with a thoughtful face:
"Marshal, what do you mean is that we want to make a big business here, and let our Tianjin Wei firm take the lead?"

"Naturally, if such a good place is built, it can't just be a fortress or something. It must be well managed. Look at the fertile fields outside the city. Although there is only one harvest a year, it is already rich enough. The title deed You should hurry up and fix things like that, this is the real wealth.”

Wang Tong's advantage is that besides military affairs, he is also proficient in economics. What he said is the most valuable thing in Guihua City.

There are indeed many gold and silver treasures in the city, but Guihua City itself is naturally a trade center for various ministries of the grassland. The vast and fertile fields around the Tumo River around Guihua City, as well as these pastures, are where the real wealth lies. After these things, the golden mountains and the silver seas will naturally come rolling in.

Moreover, these things are much more low-key than the gold and silver belongings of the nobles of the royal family, and almost no one will notice them. "Marshal, Niu Gengang, a merchant from Guihua City, led the gentry of the Han people in the city to seek an audience!"

Watching Wang Tong turn his gaze, the leader of the meticulous team said:
"Niu Gengang's ancestors had already defected to the Tartars, and he was considered as the number one rich man in the city. However, although this man was trying to make money, he was not treated well because of his Han nationality. Otherwise, he would not be a businessman."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and said:
"I heard that the Tartar soldiers looted the Han people yesterday, and Niu Gengang's property was also affected. I don't know if he understands the saying 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different', let him in!!"

*************
"Commander, Caomin has been in the land of the Tartars for a long time, and his heart is for his homeland. Today, the commander-in-chief led the heavenly army to come. Caomin and others are really happy!"

Niu Gengang knelt on the ground and said there with a grateful expression. Wang Tong sat on a chair and looked at him with a smile. There were more than a dozen people kneeling behind Niu Gengang. They were all wealthy people with big bellies. They should be Han businessmen in the city. , Wang Tong asked with a smile:

"Did the officers and soldiers enter the city, and your family and property were disturbed and lost?"

"Tianjunqiu has committed no crimes, and the military discipline is strict. Caomin and others are very grateful."

After saying this, Niu Gen just raised his head and took a peek, then straightened up and said again:

"Marshal, Cao Min and others have arrested a person who is a prisoner of the imperial court!!"
