In fact, if there are a large number of prisoners after a large-scale battle, few people will actually kill them. Because manpower is the best resource, especially for the army, the best weapon for killing people is people.
Not only this battle left an indelible mark on Zhuo Bufan in everyone's hearts, but also established an almost magical image. Moreover, the way Zhuo Bufan handled the prisoners this time was also eye-opening. A large amount of gold and silver treasures were seized from the eight princes' palaces in the city, including hundreds of thousands of taels of silver alone. Zhuo Bufan was not polite at all at this time. The jewelry and other items were used as military pay, and they were all returned to Shenlong Mountain, and he directly sent the third battalion back. And those hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were actually divided by him. []
It was not given to Liu Liangzuo and the others, but to the prisoners.
The division is not a random and even distribution, but a gathering of prisoners. Anyone who is willing to be recruited into the army can be recruited by Liu Liangzuo and Hong Chengchou at their discretion. Those who are unwilling and want to go home will be given five taels of silver per person as travel expenses. At this time, although Liu Liangzuo and others were surprised, they followed their instructions. Huang Degong finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up.
"Zhuo Bufan, you, you actually released the rebels privately, and then disposed of the captured war profits privately! I, I want to report it to the court!" Not to mention the matter of releasing the prisoners privately, just disposing of the seized war profits privately is already a violation of criminal law. The imperial court, that is, the emperor, must tell you what to do with the spoils of war. Huang Degong thought he had grasped Zhuo Bufan's handle, but he didn't get any benefits, so he finally took action.
Zhuo Bufan smiled contemptuously. When Zhou Tong saw someone hurting his brother, he glared and was about to slap him. The big bald head and big head that no longer grew hair were really scary. It was only Zhuo Bufan who held him back that prevented Huang Degong. When the ball is kicked.
Zhuo Bufan suddenly smiled and hugged the frightened Huang Degong, and whispered into his ear: "Tell me, how much percent do you want?"
Huang Degong tried his best to resist Zhuo Bufan, and said solemnly: "As an official of the imperial court, I will not deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors to line my own pockets." Suddenly his face changed, and he whispered: "General Zhuo is indeed a sensible person, and I won't talk nonsense." Success is enough." For Huang Degong, this was already a huge concession. If he hadn't seen that he was about to be excluded, got angry and had no capital, how could he have suffered such a big loss.
Zhuo Bufan nodded, turned around and said loudly: "Did you hear that, little boy? Mr. Huang wants 20%, and it's all prepared for him!"
Huang Degong was so anxious that he waved his hands, but when he saw Zhou Tong who was suddenly overjoyed, he immediately had a very bad feeling.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ I saw the personal guards outside, with their sabers half drawn from their waists, glaring angrily.
¡°Ouch~~Ouch~~Help~~~~¡±
Zhou Tong¡¯s hearty laughter and Huang Degong¡¯s pig-killing screams echoed in the air. Huang Degong¡¯s cronies shrank their necks, as if they had suddenly become deafened collectively.
The money was distributed in an orderly manner. About 10,000 to 20,000 people voluntarily gave up their travel expenses to join the Dahua army. Most of them were people who could feed themselves and the whole family, or they were people who did not know anything else after fighting. They were soldiers. For them, it's just a matter of making a living. Originally, they wanted to join the mighty general's team, but Zhuo Bufan didn't want anyone, so they had no choice but to give up. Most of the remaining people have family concerns, and many of them were forcibly recruited. Now that there is no coercion and travel expenses, the five taels of silver are wasted. It is enough to just go back to Sichuan.
Zhuo Bufan didn¡¯t care at all when Huang Degong left, nor did he care how he organized himself after he returned. Today is the day when the Dragon Army shows off its power, and it is also the day when I break through my heart and realize the importance of my family and country. In the past, it was just a teenager's mentality to follow his own heart. Today, he finally understood why Li Zhi had been unwilling to agree to assist him. After all, a person does not live alone. From birth to adulthood, he has the life inheritance of his relatives and the care and concern of his lover. With a home, life becomes complete, with love, life is no longer lonely. The family is regarded as an individual, and the country is regarded as everyone. The foundation of the country is the family, and the rise and fall of the country is related to the survival of the family. In other words, the path of Shenlong Mountain should be followed. Powerful individuals formed the invincible Shenlong Army and established the powerful Shenlong Mountain. Having strong strength is not enough. Uniting the wise people all over the world and using the power of the people to build a powerful Chinese nation from a mountain to a county, from a county to a province is the right path in the future.
Liu Liangzuo and others followed Zhuo Bufan's wishes and distributed travel expenses, but they arranged for soldiers to explain clearly to everyone who received the money that it was a gift from the mighty General Zhuo Bufan. You can save your lives and still receive the money and return home. You Everyone must remember the kindness of the mighty general.
In Liu Liangzuo¡¯s words: ¡°We are really doing good deeds, but we can¡¯t give away our money in vain while others don¡¯t know.¡±?Ours is good. "Zhuo Bufan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he understood that this approach was very useful.
Zhang Xianzhong's body was finally found. The guards responsible for the search were all disgraced. The bluestone bricks of the city wall bombarded by the Shenlong Cannon were all turned into powder, and dust filled the sky whenever they moved. It was said that it was a corpse, but only a head was found, and a piece of shrapnel cut into the neck. The cut was extremely neat, and it was no worse than the execution with the Ghost Head Sword. Zhuo Bufan looked at the head of Zhang Xianzhong, whom he had met once, and was quite moved. If you were a hero for the rest of his life, he would be just as miserable and miserable after death, with no one to collect his body. Zhuo Bufan originally wanted to bury Zhang Xianzhong, but he had already taken in the rebels and disposed of the captured things, but it was hard to lose the leader. After being sprinkled with lime and put into a wooden box, this Xianzhong's head was handed over to Liu Liangzuo and Hong Chengchou to jointly report to the court. Naturally, it was a great achievement with many benefits.
It took three or four days to finish it. It was early morning again. Zhuo Bufan got up early, walked out of the hall, and saw the old locust tree at a glance.
This is the city of Chao County. It was Li Weisheng's former residence. It was actually intact in the fire. Zhuo Bufan simply used this place as his temporary residence. Take a stroll in the yard and stretch your muscles. Hearing the noise coming from outside the courtyard, I became interested in going out for a walk. When I walked to the gate, I saw dozens of holes that were still eye-catching on the door, some of which still had arrow clusters left, which were the traces left by Li Weisheng when he broke out of the siege that day.
Seeing the arrow marks, Zhuo Bufan thought of Zhang Sheng, such a young and handsome man who disappeared in this vast world in the blink of an eye. During these days, how many lives were turned into a piece of loess outside the city. In the future, countless lives will inevitably wither. Although we understand some of the principles of the cycle of life and death, it still makes people feel melancholy.
Outside the hospital, a large number of Dahua soldiers and a large number of ordinary people were busy cleaning up the ruins and burying the bodies. Except for the street of the Eighth Prince's Palace and a few houses here, almost everything else in the city has been turned into ruins. Fortunately, it was winter, so the corpse would not rot quickly, otherwise there would be no way to live in the city. Since Dahua has won and wiped out the rebels, the original people of Dahua will naturally return one after another. Although their homeland is no longer there, it can always be rebuilt as long as their lives are saved. Those Dahua soldiers were all Liu Liangzuo's subordinates. Hong Chengchou's tribe had already won and moved north. After the court dealt with it, they naturally had to return to the outside of the pass as soon as possible. The situation outside the pass was still not very optimistic.
The city was in ruins. Zhuo Bufan strolled to the shore of Xicheng. All the corpses in the water had been fished out and transported out of the city for burial. Now, these large wooden boats were moored on the dilapidated pier.
Taking a deep breath of the cold water vapor that seemed to smell like gunpowder smoke, Zhuo Bufan walked towards a wooden boat. In the front of the wooden boat, two Divine Dragon Cannons were placed. At this time, several Divine Dragon Army soldiers were carefully wiping the cannon bodies and using a A log wrapped in soft cloth was used to clean the inside of the barrel.
"General!" A man walked out of the cabin and saw Zhuo Bufan walking towards him. He shouted in surprise and came up to him. It was Xing Tianhu who had disappeared for a long time.
Zhuo Bufan stepped forward, hammered Xing Tianhu's generous chest, and said with a smile: "Well done. I have been busy with General Bai and the prisoners these days, so I didn't come to see you. When I get back to Shenlong Mountain, I will celebrate your success."
Xing Tianhu rubbed his chest and said with a smile: "General, if it's not your good strategy, how can I get any credit?"
"Hey, you are an honest person and you have learned how to flatter me. Well, you have a future, you have a future."
At this time, the Shenlong Army soldiers on board the ships had already gathered around them excitedly. They were really suffocating. They stayed in the lake for not only a day or two, but to practice water bombardment. In the end, they blocked the waterway docks and annihilated them in the decisive battle. The enemy's naval force cuts off the enemy's rear route. Among them, there were more than a dozen water masters from the Shenyin Camp. It was they who sneaked into the dock without anyone noticing and placed Shenlong Thunder on each ship, thus ensuring the complete annihilation of the enemy.
Zhuo Bufan boarded the wooden boat with great interest, looked at the remaining masts of the ship in the water, and smacked his lips. The battle at the dock was beautiful, and not a single ship escaped.
On the bow of the wooden ship, two divine dragon cannons were embedded there. Several slits were cut into the ship's plank, and the tall wheels of the Shenlong Cannon were embedded firmly. With the help of the device on the gun mount that can move left and right at a small angle for easy aiming, it became a fixed fort. It is this design that ensures the safety of water on the water. Shooting stability.
Zhuo Bufan nodded repeatedly. It can be seen that Xing Tianhu and the others have worked hard. The most powerful thing about the current Shenlong Army is not its advanced weapons and outstanding personal qualities, but its ability to adapt to the situation and its habit of being diligent in using its brain and good at summarizing. This is an advantage that no one can match in the future.
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at Chaoxian County from the lake, everything is devastated and burnt everywhere. However, amidst this devastation, more and more people are joining the ranks of rebuilding their homes.The gray colors of Hanfu, the colorful colors of young girls and young wives, and the red tassels of Dahua soldiers are all over the ruins.
