Chapter 1,179 Use Newcomers to Explain Although he didn¡¯t see how Hullens and Kirkbo died, he could imagine it. The angry people in Eastern Xinjiang will beat them into a pulp and will never show mercy because they are old people. It's like Hullens and Kirkbo didn't feel pity because they were old people. In fact, things like this always happen in this world. Because he is older, he can be forgiven easily. People will always say, forget it, he is already so old, forgive him. Or because he is too young, people will say, forget it, he is still so young, forgive him. This is a group of kind-hearted people. When this group of kind-hearted people become violent and start killing people, one can imagine how much hatred they bear. Fang Jie doesn¡¯t want to think too much about such things. When it comes to human nature, it always makes him feel incredible. After returning from Wei An's camp, Fang Jie met Chu Juzheng. The down-and-out emperor finally had some confidence now that he had an army in his hands. His life had been dark since the fall of Dong Chu, and Mu Guangling would not really do anything to help him. In Mu Mansion, he was like a prisoner. But at least he¡¯s alive. "Prince" Chu Juzheng bowed slightly and tried his best to maintain his dignity as the emperor of Chu. Of course, only he and his down-and-out subordinates are still trying their best to maintain this trace of dignity. How sad is it to have to work hard to maintain the honor of being an emperor after the country is destroyed? Chu Juzheng smiled and acted gentle. But he was angry in his heart because Fang Jie handed over more than 100,000 prisoners of war to him. "I don't know how to deal with the prisoners of war?" he asked. Fang Jie smiled and replied: "I thought Your Majesty knew, but it turns out Your Majesty didn't know." This sentence didn't sound very meaningful, but Chu Juzheng's face turned slightly red. Logically speaking, there was no need for him to ask. Because he knew that everyone in the Chu army was now strongly demanding that those prisoners of war be executed. But Chu Juzheng didn't dare. He was afraid that the foreigners' revenge would fall on him. In his opinion, Fang Jie was also worried about this, so he handed over all the prisoners of war to him. But he was wrong. "If your Majesty is kind, you can keep them or let them go." Fang Jie said slowly: "I just think that these people are the enemies that the Chu people should face most. Although Dongjiang is also It is being invaded by foreigners, but Eastern Xinjiang is still there. Your Majesty's country" Fang Jie paused and did not continue to say the next few words, but turned to something else: "However, your Majesty's army currently has no troops. Food and grass supplies are not very abundant for my army, so I can't provide anything for your majesty for the time being. If your majesty thinks you can support those prisoners of war, you need to find a way yourself. " Chu Juzheng's face is not good-looking, but he is not the emperor now. , no matter how ugly his face is, it won't make Fang Jie worry about anything. In fact, even if he was still the emperor of Chu, Fang Jie wouldn't care whether he looked good or not. "I just think that killing so many people is against the harmony of nature." "Oh" Fang Jie said, "You can do whatever you want." Chu Juzheng cursed in his heart. The man in front of him who looked so young couldn't even throw water at him. Enter. "I think it's better to do this. After all, these surrendered soldiers are killed anyway, so why not send them to fight with Leman. These people have already been made prisoners, and Leman will not treat them well, so they should not defect back again. "What do you think, Your Majesty?" "I have already given these people to you." Fang Jie waved his hand: "It is Your Majesty's business. As for what you want to do, you don't need to discuss it with me. To put it nicely, Your Majesty." You and your army are temporarily staying in Eastern Xinjiang. To put it bluntly, you are on the run. If you can forgive the foreigners for losing your country and your family, what else can I say?" Fang Xie stood up and stretched out. Body: "Your Majesty is so kind-hearted, I kind of understand why Chu State was destroyed." "You!" Chu Juzheng's face suddenly changed, and he pointed at Fang Jie but did not dare to continue talking. Fang Jie glanced at him indifferently: "Do you want to restore the country? Do you want to restore the country without my help? If Your Majesty feels that you can leave, feel free. If you feel that you can't leave, you should still show some sincerity. Yes. I remember that people in Green Forest had to submit a petition before they joined Only after submitting the petition would others accept and trust them. What do you think of these people in Green Forest? " Chu Juzheng? A buzz in my mind? Only then did I understand what Fang Jie meant. Fang Jie just can¡¯t trust them. The Chu army must fight side by side with the Black Flag Army before they can return to Dong Chu, but Fang Jie cannot trust them. Therefore, Fang Jie needs them to express their stance, and the more than 100,000 prisoners of war must surrender. As long as the Chu people killed those prisoners of war, they would really have no way out. In the past, Lyman could surrender them. After killing these prisoners of war, Lyman would definitely not surrender them again. Fang Jie may not expect them to do much on the battlefield, but Fang Jie doesn't want them to hold back either. "Okay okay!" Chu Juzheng stood up and hugged Fang Jie: "I'm here to hand over this certificate of surrender." The military information was sent in the evening, and it was very urgent. Fang Jie peeled off the wax paint on the envelope, took out the letter and read it. The letter came from Phoenix Station and was a personal letter from Nalan Dingdong. The letter said that Lyman's army was now less than 150 miles away from the Phoenix Tower. According to the information from the scout investigation, Lyman had brought at least more than 600,000 troops. And this army, the most elite army of the Opuru Empire, is Lyman's direct army. In order to stimulate the domestic nobles to participate in the war, Lyman allowed the nobles to obtain maximum benefits. Therefore, in the past ten years, the number of noble troops in the Opuru Empire has increased exponentially. For example, Hullens' Black Morning Glory. You must know that the Hullens family was only a second-rate family in a third-rate country at the beginning. Now it has hundreds of thousands of troops in two principalities. This kind of development is terrifying. "The cavalry of all armies will set out in two days." Fang Jie handed the general information to Sanjinhou Wu and then ordered: "All cavalry must prepare what they need within these two days, and must arrive at Phoenix Tower within ten days." The current Black Flag Army has a total cavalry strength of about 100,000. In this era, the amount of materials, money and food consumed to support such a large cavalry was an astronomical figure. That is to say, a behemoth like Fang Jie Youhuo Tongtian Xingxing is behind it. If it were anyone else, he might not even be able to support 20,000 cavalry. Even when the Sui Dynasty was completely victorious, even if the Sui Dynasty had war horses to raise, raising 100,000 cavalry with the power of the entire Sui Dynasty was already the limit. After all, at that time, Huotong Tianxiaxing would definitely not use all its strength to supply the army. Relying on money and food from the national treasury is simply not enough. You must know that before Li Yuanshan rebelled, he once raised a heavy cavalry force. With Li Yuanshan¡¯s dominance in the northwest, he could not allow the size of the heavy cavalry to exceed three thousand despite his almost land-grabbing plunder. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It can make an originally prosperous Daozhi become stretched. How much more so in a place as exhausted as the northwest? "Here" the military generals agreed. "I will set off with the cavalry, and the rest of the troops will be left to Sanjinhou." Fang Jie looked at Wu Yiyi, who quickly leaned over and said, "I accept your order." "We are fighting against the enemy outside, but we are also at home. Can't ignore it." Fang Jie suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the war, but this sentence made all the generals in the tent feel tense. Because they all knew that if Fang Jie mentioned his family without any warning, he must have some important arrangements. And this seemingly abrupt arrangement must be because something at home caught Fang Jie's attention. "I have sent people to Yunnan Road to transfer Wei Xiting back to the capital." Fang explained: "The affairs in the court are too trivial and complicated, and it is obviously beyond the capabilities of a single person. Wei Xiting has done a good job in Yunnan Road and can be reused. In addition, I He was asked to recruit 50,000 troops from Yunnan Province, and he is estimated to have set off now. Cui Zhongzhen's troops are responsible for the garrison of Chang'an City. Although the troops are not too small, they are still somewhat weak. Wei Xiting's 50,000 troops will be stationed in Gyeonggi Province. " As soon as these words were said, all the generals were shocked. ¡°Obviously, something happened in the court. "It's just to replenish the troops." Fang Jie saw the color change on everyone's faces, explained lightly and continued: "In addition, I have good news for youSong Zihui defeated the Mongolian and Yuan troops near Fangu City in the northwest. , killing 100,000 enemies. Now the Meng Yuan people have been seriously injured, and I am afraid that they will not be able to recover within 20 years. I have ordered Song Zihui to be promoted to the military governor of the northwest, and I have given full authority over the war against the Mongolian Yuan people. He will deal with it." After hearing that Meng Yuan was defeated, the generals relaxed. "There's one more thing." Fang explained: "After killing Yang Shunhui, I didn't let the army come back. The first was because of lack of food and grass. The second was because I was worried that those people would not obey discipline. But these days, that army has successivelyThis time they sent people over and asked to join the Black Flag Army This was because they really couldn't survive anymore. They had no food and support, and even if they had 100,000 people, they would do nothing. Sowho of you is willing to take over that team? " Fang Jie asked. Everyone below fell silent. "No one is willing to give up the army that they have led for many years and have become familiar with it, and take over an unfamiliar army with no loyalty at all. After all, on the battlefield It¡¯s better to lead the team with ease. ¡°I¡will go. "After a while, Chen Dingnan stood up and clasped his fists and said. "I am also willing to go." Du Dingbei stood up and clasped his fists. "Dingnan, you have other things to do, leave it to Du Dingbei. " Fang Jie glanced at Du Dingbei, who quickly fell to the ground and said, "I will live up to my lord's trust. " "Get up. Fang explained: "You choose some people to take with you later, and then bring a batch of food, grass and luggage." I'll ask Sanjinhou to help you. Once you get there, don't rush to let them start a war. As for when to enter the war, I will send someone to tell you. " At this time, everyone realized that Fang Jie didn't want them to lead that army at all. He must have thought about letting Du Ding go north, but Fang Jie was worried that his generals were not convinced, so that's why he was like this Q. Fang Jie knew very well that it would not be a good thing for the war to let these people leave the team he was familiar with, and Du Dingbei was too young, and he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among his subordinates if he was rashly entrusted with important tasks. Du Dingbei bowed his head and said, "Actually, Du Dingbei didn't react at first, because Fang Jie didn't talk to him. Now he was so excited that he was finally leading an army of 100,000 people. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty on the left and right! For a young man like him, it is nothing more than a meteoric rise! He looked at Fang Jie and knew what he should do to repay his lord's kindness.
