When Lu Xiangsheng finished his work according to Zhong Jinwei's order, it was already the end of Xu Dynasty.Most of the army has seized the time to rest, but Zhong Jinwei and others are still awake and still in a meeting.

Under the auspices of Zhong Jinwei, every general present discussed how to safely withdraw to Zhangzi Island, and it was not until late at night that they came up with a plan.

If it wasn't for the rescued Han people, if it wasn't for the trophies, the chances of the army withdrawing safely would be high, and there would be no need to negotiate for such a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky in the east was just a little pale, and when the ground was just a little bright, the soldiers of the Ming army went to various places in Shenyang City to issue orders, telling all the Han people to go to the square in front of the palace within an hour. Assemble, it will not expire.

After venting their revenge overnight, most of the Han people have woken up from their hatred and excitement.Hearing the orders of the king's officers and soldiers like heavenly soldiers and generals, they all rushed to the palace consciously.

There are also some Han people who have been making a fuss all night, and are looking for a comfortable room to sleep soundly.There are still a very small number who neither slept nor obeyed the orders of the soldiers of the Ming army, and were doing what they wanted to do.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the Ming army regained their energy and strength.And their mounts were basically replaced with new ones.It has to be said that the sudden and rapid siege left the things in Shenyang basically undamaged, including a large number of war horses.

Jianlu's treasury has already been loaded, and Zhong Jinwei felt that the amount of goods captured by the eight major Shanxi merchants before was really negligible compared to this.

Of course, this is also an exaggeration.No matter what, it was the first time for Zhong Jinwei to see so much property.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the square stood in the shape of "eight" with the big yamen as the center.

Zhong Jinwei was standing on the steps of the big yamen. Seeing that the Han people had gathered almost, he began to speak: "Some of you are from Liaodong, and some of you are from the people in the pass. They were all oppressed by the Jian captives, and the pain you suffered, just don't talk about it." The court also knows."

As soon as the senior officials of Wang Shizhong spoke, the original buzz in the square disappeared, and they all listened to Zhong Jinwei's speech.

Almost every Han Chinese present was separated from their loved ones forever.I usually control my emotions and don't show them, so as not to be beaten and scolded by Jianlu.Now turning over, and after another night of venting, the emotions have eased, thinking of their tragic experience, many men are secretly crying.

"I, Marquis Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, according to the emperor's order, came here to save everyone. I say this to tell you that the imperial court has not forgotten you, and the emperor remembers you."

Zhong Jinwei is already very good at talking, and all the credit must be given to Emperor Chongzhen first.This has nothing to do with whether the relationship between Zhong Jinwei and Emperor Chongzhen is still harmonious, but the kingly way of getting along with the company leaders as a wage earner.

"In the past, the imperial court had difficulties and couldn't win. But now it's different. Since I can come for the first time, of course I will come again for the second and third time. One day, the entire Liaodong will be restored, and the construction of The captives will be wiped out, and I stand here today, which is the best proof."

In any case, with this sudden surrender of the Master Wang as an endorsement, these Han people who were originally disappointed in the Ming army were full of trust again.Now hearing Zhong Jinwei's words, most of them will not doubt whether it can be realized.

"But this time, I'm just here to explore the way, and I don't bring many troops. I believe you have already seen this, so I will face a serious problem next."

"We have occupied Jianlu's puppet capital, and everyone has seen the situation in the city. No matter what the purpose is, Jianlu will definitely counterattack. As for how many soldiers and horses Jianlu will come, and when they will come, I don't know. So we can only prepare for the worst.”

Hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, the Han people in the square woke up suddenly, and a tense atmosphere permeated among them again.

If I was caught by Jianlu again, I don't need to think about what will happen based on those Jianlu's virtues that don't treat Han people as human beings.

Secondly, these Han people have been venting all night, and their pockets are already bulging, imagining that they can live a better life in the future.Suddenly they found that their dreams seemed far away, and it was still a question of whether their lives could be saved.

Most of the Han people focused on the Marquis of Zhongxing, and now the Ming army is their backbone.

"If you have a place to go, you can leave now on your own, and I won't interfere. If you have no place to go, you are welcome to return to Daming, and you can return to Dongjiang Town in the Dandong area with the army."

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he looked at the people in the square.After waiting for a while, I realized that only a very small number of people left the square and scattered in all directions.

Most of these people were accomplices to Jianlu and those who had dealt cruel blows to their fellow clansmen.They were afraid of reckoning after the fall, so they chose to leave.

Zhong Jinwei waited until there was no more movement in the square before continuing: "If you are all willing to follow the army back to the Dandong area, you must accept the command of the army, otherwise it will affect the march of the army, which is not good for you or the army. If you are not willing Yes, please leave now."

Shenyang is in the hinterland of Jianlu. If you escape back to the Dandong area by your own ability, obviously the success rate will not be too high.Not to mention the Jianlu who met the brigade, even a few Jianlu who visited the horses could stay in Liaodong forever.

Therefore, very few people left this time.Most of these people had a lot of belongings in their arms, and they chose to leave because they were afraid that the Ming army would see the money and they felt that they had a good ability to escape.

"Okay, since you are willing to obey the command of the army and trust Da Ming's army, you are welcome to return to Daming together with the army. Next, you will be organized. I hope everyone will maintain order and obey the command. Once the formation is completed, you will also be organized for the time being. As a member of the army, if you don’t obey military orders, you can also follow military laws. If you don’t want to, you can leave now.”

After Zhong Jinwei said this, another part left.These people had a bad impression of the Ming army in the past. Although they were grateful to the Ming army in front of them, they were afraid that if something happened along the way, they would use the excuse of violating military discipline, and there would be no place to appeal for grievances if they were hacked.

Zhong Jinwei kept his promise and didn't care about those who left. After he finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to start grouping the Han people in the square.

Of course, the grouping is carried out by many people at the same time, otherwise there are so many people, it is not known when it will be grouped.

In fact, the so-called grouping is just a detachment, so that they can be orderly on the way back to Dandong.Otherwise, marching in disorder will be less efficient and not conducive to retreat.

Most of these Han people are middle-aged men, and a small number of them are young women.After the grouping was over, it was almost noon.

At this time, the square was no longer the crowded crowd before, but queues formed one after another, each queue led by a Ming soldier.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Jinwei ordered: "The whole army has a full meal and then retreats."
