Qiming 1158

Chapter 1283 This question is a bit straightforward
When Su Haisheng arrived in Chengdu, Chen Qixian had already made some arrangements for the city.

For example, send all the original Song troops to the outside of Chengdu, build camps to accommodate them, and ask them to hand over all their weapons and equipment to become official soldiers, and send troops to supervise them.

Another example is that officers and soldiers are supervised separately. The officers live on one side and the soldiers live on the other side, and the two sides do not touch each other.

All the local civil and military officials of the Chengdu court who were originally arrested by Ma Yongkang and others in a mutiny were placed in the large courtyard in the southeast corner of Chengdu City.

Ma Yongkang and others were also effectively placed under house arrest, but as surrenderers, they could receive preferential treatment.

They can live in their original residence, with their families, and have three meals a day, but they are not allowed to go out for no reason, and they need to be guarded by Ming army soldiers at the door of the house.

At the same time, Chen Qixian opened up the city of Chengdu, allowing ordinary people in the city to resume daily activities such as woodcutting, etc., and sent troops to sweep up restless gangs inside and outside Chengdu, making the city of Chengdu slowly returning to normal.

Accompanied by the guards, Su Haisheng went to meet with Ma Yongkang, Wu Ting and other major decision-makers who surrendered this time, thanked them, and recognized that their actions were correct and brought great success to the Ming Kingdom. meritorious.

As for the credit, future living arrangements, etc., Su Haisheng can't make up his own mind, but they can go to Zhongdu to meet Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin will comprehensively consider what they have done and give them a reasonable post-war disposal plan.

"Of course, don't worry, your surrender this time is of great significance to Daming, so the Central Capital will also fully consider your arrangements, you will be properly settled, and you don't have to worry about any other problems. "

Su Haisheng euphemistically expressed that the Ming Kingdom would not cross the river and demolish the bridge to kill them all.

This statement made Ma Yongkang and others very happy.

However, some of Su Haisheng's next questions made them a little embarrassed.

"This time you have indeed made a lot of credit, but I heard that you are the main promoters of supporting Zhao Buxi as the emperor to fight against the Ming Dynasty. The supporters at that time, and the surrender now, what are you thinking about? what?"

Su Haisheng sat on a chair, drinking tea while watching them with great interest.

As the leader of the group of ministers, Ma Yongkang must of course dare to stand up and answer Su Haisheng's question instead of the big guy.

"The commander doesn't know. The reason why we established the new emperor before is because we have many misunderstandings about Da Ming, plus the real panic, and the requests of some local people in Sichuan and Shu. Whenever there is a big chaos, people always want to To protect ourselves, we have established a new king at that time, which is completely in line with the hearts of Sichuan and Shu people."

Su Haisheng took a sip of tea and smiled.

"The hearts of Chuanshu people, that is to say, the old and rich landlords in Chuanshu hope that you will establish a new king to protect their interests?"

Landlord old wealth?

defend their interests?
It's...a bit straightforward.

Ma Yongkang's euphemistic wording was very direct in Su Haisheng's mouth, and Su Haisheng really did not have the idea of ​​going around with him.

His voice became serious.

"I know what you are worried about, it is nothing more than worry that Daming will liquidate you, including those old landlords, who must not want to lose their land wealth, Daming is clear about this, including your surrender this time, Daming It is also very clear why.

That's why I want to tell you that Daming is not someone who will liquidate it. Those who have made contributions and those who are purely reactionary have different policies on Daming's side. As long as they are landlords, they will all be liquidated. This is also incorrect. , as long as it is an official, it is wrong to have all their heads beheaded.

Daming will not ignore the credits you have made, nor will Daming ignore the mistakes you have made. These two are things that Daming needs to consider when facing his former enemies. Don't worry, Daming will definitely give you justice. Even if you never wanted justice. "

Su Haisheng's statement made the hearts of a group of subordinate ministers beat faster and felt uneasy.

But in the end, Su Haisheng regained his harmonious tone and smiled.

"Having said that, you surrendered to Daming purely for your own consideration, but this time, you did the right thing. The army under my command reduced the casualties by nearly [-]%, and also reduced a lot of money expenditure. , which saved Daming a huge amount of military expenditures. Daming will never ignore this credit.

Originally, Da Ming was ready to spend billions of dollars for this war, and the casualties exceeded 800 soldiers, but because of your surrender, the casualties of the Da Ming army so far have been less than [-], and the military expenditure is also very small, far away from China. The Ming emperor in the capital was very happy for this. "

The last sentence was spoken, and the big stone in the hearts of this group finally fell to the ground.

It seems that this wave of them has made a lot of credit for Daming, and the Emperor of Daming is very happy for this, and is very willing to treat their group of surrenderers kindly because of this.

The actual loss is reduced, which is equivalent to Daming's blood profit, and for this blood profit, it should not be too much to give them a relatively good pension, right?
Among the officials present, the youngest was 30-year-old Wu Ting, and the oldest was almost 70 years old. He was just waiting to take care of his old age. He has been fighting like this until now, just asking for a peaceful old age, and a fallen leaf returning to its roots in peace and stability. stable.

This requirement cannot be overstated in any way.

Compared with the luck of Ma Yongkang and others, the relatively young Wu Ting thought a little more.

He was surprised.

Because even without the obstruction of the Shu Road, the Ming army still encountered some enemies and some resistance along the way. However, under such resistance, the Ming army actually had less than 800 people in the military operations of more than two months. casualties.

This is a military operation with a total force of 7 troops.

Wu Ting didn't even know whether the Ming army was too strong or the Song army was too expensive.

When Su Hai was born, he brought Wu Gong, who had been by his side all the time. Wu Gong was able to meet his cousin. The two were also the "big heroes" of this military operation. This wave of meeting is full of emotion.

Wu Gong was allowed to go to Wu Lin's tomb, and together with Wu Ting, he made a request to Su Haisheng, requesting that the deceased members of the Wu family, including Wu Jie and Wu Lin, be removed from the land of Sichuan and Shu. Instead, they were buried in their hometown ancestral graves, and let them return to their roots.

To this request, Su Haisheng nodded and agreed.

He specially arranged a team of people to assist the members of the Wu family to move the tombs of the deceased Wu Jie, Wu Lin and others to their hometown in Guanzhong, so that they can return to their roots.

After a series of things were done, Su Haisheng went to see Zhao Buyi in particular.
