Chapter 158 Make a new contribution
The performance of Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui this time is too disappointing.Now that so many rout soldiers and their families have been gathered, to be honest, no one is interested.

In fact, it is difficult for the Northern Expeditionary Army to expand, and if it expands, it will cause indigestion.

"What do you think?" Zhu Yihai asked.

"If you want me to say, these are cowardly soldiers. I don't want any of them. There are more than 5 people. The battalion screams collapsed after being frightened. It's an anecdote in the world. Why do you need such soldiers? Just kill them All the weapons and equipment are confiscated, and then what to do." Zhang Mingzhen said bluntly.

Shen Chenquan, a bachelor, suggested that so many people should be properly accommodated, and they should not be ignored like this.

"What do you do? There are tens of thousands of people, adding up to the same number as our Northern Expeditionary Army. Wouldn't it be a huge burden to bring him along? This is just food, how much do we have to eat a day?"

Xu Shiqi stroked his beard, "Didn't Your Highness say that you want to open up bases in the inland mountainous areas on the lake islands of Sanwu? I think it is possible to disband these soldiers with their families and return them to the fields, and let them disperse on the islands in Taihu Lake. There are various places in the mountainous area, farming and farming. You can also dig mines and build workshops, build weapons and equipment, and build warships, etc."

"It's not easy for these people to come all the way to the south. Those who drag their families with them are all refugees. Just because they refuse to surrender and still support Daming, they can't just abandon them casually. Otherwise, how will they appease the world in the future?"

It was hard for Zhang Mingzhen to refute the old scholar's words.

Zhu Yihai also nodded when he heard it, "In this way, a group of Gong Maqiang who is proficient in martial arts in the second part of Huang and Wu will be selected to supplement the eight towns of the imperial camp, and then ten thousand people will be selected to organize them into a regiment to practice Xiangyong. Or farming the land, or mining and manufacturing for workers."

"It is also possible to send some people back to eastern Zhejiang for resettlement."

"Let's do this now, and arrange these people as soon as possible, otherwise the Tartars will come and drag us down."

After discussing for a while, the meeting ended.

Zhu Yihai summoned Wu Zhikui.

When Wu Zhikui came in, he bowed down respectfully, and Zhu Yihai stretched out his hand to help.

"General Wu, I have a mission for you."

"Your Highness, but there is something wrong, and I will go through fire and water." After this defeat, Wu Zhikui, who was once known as a Confucian general, was ashamed and ashamed, especially after seeing the Northern Expedition led by Lu Jianguo himself. How easy it was to win the city of Suzhou, and how the autumn wind swept across the surrounding area like fallen leaves, and after just half a day annihilated the stubborn Fubiao elite, he was even more admirable.

In contrast to the dandy King Yiyang in Chongming, the judge is the real king of Ming Dynasty.

"This task requires you to shave your hair, are you willing?"

Wu Zhikui was stunned.

After a long time, he finally understood that the task Zhu Yihai gave him was to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it was a false surrender. Zhu Yihai planned to gather tens of thousands of defeated soldiers from Huang and Wu's two divisions to form a regiment to practice Xiangyong. Under the command of Wu Zhikui, he will lead these soldiers to shave their heads and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

"Surrender to Yan Wogong, the comfort envoy of Zhejiang?"

"Well, surrender to him."

······
Songjiang Prefecture, Huating County.

Boluo passed this prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River again, feeling much more bleak than the last time he went south.Yan Ming, the son of Yan Wogong, stayed behind in Songjiang City, and he explained to Boluo the current situation in Songjiang.

It is said that last time Shen Youlong and other Ming Dynasty elders rebelled and instigated many people. Afterwards, they brutally cleaned up the wealthy gentry and wealthy households in Songjiang Prefecture City who belonged to the Qing Dynasty, killing many people and copying many houses, so now the shops are closed. The market is deserted and the streets are deserted.

Yan Wogong brought Li Yuchun and others to quell the rebellion. Many rebels fled in all directions, and many people in the city also fled.

Bo Luo was very satisfied after hearing the explanation. He didn't care how many big gentry families who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were killed by the rebels. They were all Han people anyway, and he didn't care if it was lonely and deserted now. It is enough that the Songjiang Mansion is back under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

As for the rest, who cares.

Tong Yangjia, the general soldier, has been observing Songjiang Fucheng, looking for evidence of Yan Wogong's fraud, but whether it is visiting or asking, the news he got shows that there has indeed just experienced a big rebellion here, and Yan Wogong and the others are flat. The rebellion was very rapid and hit the rebels hard.

The treasury is empty and the city is deserted, but this does not affect my great achievements in strictness, fairness and chaos.

Under Yan Ming's introduction, Bo Luo met Shen Pan, the vice-general of Songjiang who had returned from the uprising.

The more bad the family background, the more he likes it, because this kind of talent will not be as stinky and hard as those old and young of the Ming Dynasty, and will not shout to sacrifice their lives to rebel for benevolence, obey the integrity and die for the country and so on.As long as it is beneficial, they will go to whoever is strong, and they will follow whoever is strong. This kind of people who have no bottom line of principle are the best to use.

Patting Shen Pan's newly shaved forehead, Bo Luo awarded him the title of Chief Soldier Officer, and the real title of Deputy Chief Soldier, Zhen Songjiang.

"Work hard, wipe out more rebels and rioters, and report to the leader to receive credit for rewards!"

"Slave must." Shen Pan flattered his face.

As a result, Boluo was stern, "Not everyone can be a slave. You have not entered the flag, and you are not qualified to call yourself a slave. Work hard and make some contributions. At that time, Ben Baylor will personally ask the court to grant you the flag." .”

"How much has Songjiang shaved now?"

"The slaves have already shaved the heads of all the people in the city, even the Taoist priests."

Boluo was taken aback, "Have Taoist priests shaved too? You are really neat, hahaha, Taoist priests don't need to shave their hair, so no one resists shaving their hair?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people who don't know how to live and die. The imperial court issued a decree saying that they should keep their hair but not their hair. As a result, some stubborn people shouted that they would rather die than shave, so the humble job fulfilled them. If they don't shave, they will beheaded. When Baylor entered the city, he should have seen a Jingguan outside the city, that is, the heads of those stubborn species were chopped off, and more than 800 heads were piled up to form a Jingguan."

"Oh, so that's how the mound came from."

Shen Pan flatteringly said, "The humble officials chopped off these stubborn people, and then let people shave the heads of these severed heads. Even if they died, they had to shave their heads. After the shaved, they were piled up with soil to form a Jingguan, and stood outside the city. Shock those dog bones."

Bolo laughed.

What he didn't know was that the Jingguan mentioned by Shen Pan was indeed there, but it wasn't the Han people who refused to shave their hair, but those traitors who led the way, whose heads were cut off and piled up there after being suppressed.

"Humble posts are actually just acting under the order of strict appeasement."

Bo Luo called over to Yan Ming, my father-in-law’s son, Yan Ming, “Your father worked hard for the court and was rewarded. I think you are also a good-looking talent, and Su Song is also good at staying behind, so I entrust you to act as the prefect of Songjiang and petition the court on my behalf. At that time, you will be officially appointed as an official, work hard, and the court will not treat loyal people badly."

Yan Ming also nodded and bowed, full of flattery, which made Boluo very comfortable, but Tong Yangjia kept frowning, always feeling that there was something wrong, but couldn't find it for a while.

At this time, Yan Wogong had already arrived near Suzhou. Wu Zhikui, who was ordered to shave his hair, brought a dozen veteran generals to the coalition camp of Li Yuchun and Zheng Jiwu, and knelt down to the comfort envoy Yan Wogong.

"Leading 1 people from the Ministry, begged to surrender to Duke Yan, and asked to join us in the Qing Dynasty and serve the Qing Dynasty. Please accept me with mercy."

Yan Wogong came out with more than a dozen generals including Li Yuchun and Zheng Jiwu.

"Hey, General Wu knows that mistakes can be corrected. There is nothing good about it. Please get up quickly and follow me into the camp. Have three drinks and congratulate you on your surrender!"
