Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1007 Three Lights Strategy
"The Tartars, men, women, and children are all tied with ropes, like mules and horses."

Many literati who accompanied the army recorded in this way, followed by a few words of emotion, saying that they had never seen such a tragic death.However, after these literati return to the pass, they are often served by one or two young Jurchen women. There are many specialties such as fur and old ginseng, and they are more good at management. They also have Zhuangzi outside the side wall, which is rare. What is written down.

The property and people escorted back to the side wall by the head of the Li family were all sold off. Such seizures must be sold at a price far below the market price. There is no loss or loss, as long as the purchase is good. Yes, this population only eats and doesn't need wages, as long as they raise a bunch of boys to watch over them.

Liao Town lacks other things. There is no shortage of young and strong people who like to wield guns and sticks. It is difficult for these people to do farm work, but it is still possible to be a nursing home. It is manpower, and one more person earns one more point.

As for the fields outside the side wall, it is neither a general nor a tycoon, it is not capable of managing it, and ordinary people do not expect to go out independently.

But there are also some people who suggest that we go into partnership, or a certain tyrant takes the lead, and everyone invests money in others to make a fortune outside the side wall. The fields outside the side wall may not see money for a while, but in the long run, how could it not Get rich, you said to be careful, if the tartars come back again, they will be killed and arrested, how to fight back, I haven't heard of any Lao Shizi merchant group in Guannei and Datong, they have come here with money.

Land, goods, and population are being sold out continuously. In Beizhili, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, many merchants have rushed over with money. A large number of local and foreign merchants are waiting in Shenyang City and Fushun. A wave of loot arrives.

The guy who said benevolence and morality in the account took the lead. Since it takes time to transport the loot back and forth, why don't we come and buy it ourselves.

From Fushun Pass to Hetuala, there are horse and infantry soldiers of the Ming army stationed. The villages along the way have been washed clean. There is no danger on the road. Come here with money and buy directly from the army. The army lacks transport escorts The price will be much cheaper. If you bring some goods needed by the army and sell them back and forth, it will be even more beneficial. Moreover, you can look at the fields and roads along the way. If you buy property here, you can also plan as soon as possible.

With a good vision and being able to be ahead of others, it is difficult not to make a fortune. This official who is full of benevolence and morality has made a fortune, but it has impressed everyone in the army.

There is such a person who started, and the latecomers followed suit. Businessmen want to make money, and no one will think that the muddy road is hard. Besides, there are soldiers guarding them, so there is no need to worry about safety. It's over here.

According to the Li family's opinion, it is safer to send the spoils to Liao Town for distribution, and the price can be higher, but people from Ji Town, Datong, Xuanfu and even Huwei Army are willing to sell them locally. The small abacus of the town, this thing is too lucrative, whoever handles it can get more, why bother to let the Liaozhen family swallow it up, and besides, the Marin branch and the Sun Shoulian branch in the Liao town are gradually becoming forces, I also don't want the Li family to eat too much by themselves.

Wang Tong acquiesced to this. To be honest, he also admired that "benevolence and morality". The greater the benefits of future reclamation, let these fearful merchants see the fertileness of the white mountains and black waters, and see how much benefit they will have. Encourage those who are bold and let them bring their own swords and guns to plunder and burn.

Although the army was on the way, the news in the north and Liao Town was still unimpeded. When Wang Tong's army left the customs, the armed forces of the naturalized merchant group began to gather soldiers and horses, and began to march towards Duolun.

The foundation of the Chahar tribe is originally in the north of Duolun. They have not established a stable foothold in Duolun, and they have no way to fight against the wolf-like business groups. Moreover, fighting Duolun is different from fighting other places. The cavalry near the city are full of energy, and even Ningxia is interested.

Because Duolun is the place with the most abundant water and grass on the grassland, and Guihua City is also a good place. However, the armed forces of merchant groups and farms have already filled up good places everywhere, and there are too many vassal tribes, but Duolun is different. It is a good pasture and a good hunting ground, and the Marquis of Dingbei and the business group have already made a wish. There must be a pasture here for the meritorious ministers. Who doesn't want a piece of such water and grass land, and who doesn't want to get more.

Although everyone knew that the naturalized business group wanted to build a walled city farm here, as long as they could demarcate pastures, obtain supplies from the nearby walled city farm, and sell the livestock to the nearby business firms, that would be a better situation.

The size of the ranch and the location of the ranch depend on how each family fights. People in the city say nothing else, but they are used to fighting desperately.

The good men on the grassland now know that as long as they dare to work hard, they don't have to worry about prosperity and wealth. The business group never treats people badly. With this guarantee, everyone naturally flocks to them.

Most of Horqin's forces were dispatched to the north and east of Liao Town. The few battles in Liao Town had severely damaged their vitality.

The carts armed by the merchant group and the firearms combined guards have not yet been dispatched. Relying on the fierce pursuit of the people in the city, the Horqin tribe is almost unable to hold Duolun, and the small tribes of the vassals have betrayed one after another.

*****************
Wang Tong never looked at the military merit book now, the reason is very simple, now all the soldiers and horses report their meritorious service every day, how many Tartars are captured today, and how many will be captured tomorrow.

The reason for such a record is that the people of Hetuala fled one after another. Originally, after Nurhachi left with his soldiers and relatives, the Jurchen nobles of Hetuala also sent people to ask Wang Tong to surrender. Thinking that Wang Tong didn't accept it at all, but drove him back instead.

It is clear that envoys were sent here earlier, saying that they are willing to fight or surrender, but now they are all focused on fighting. Under such circumstances, the people of Hetuala are all fleeing one after another. It is a small city, how can it resist it? Can withstand the attack of this nearly [-] troops.

The military achievements reported by various military newspapers are all the records of intercepting the escapees. The people around the camp are extremely prosperous, and the infantry of Liao Town and Ji Town charge a small fee to help escort the slaves back to Liao Town. , the merchants who came to buy and sell were very enthusiastic, and every prisoner caught was a piece of money, whoever was not happy to arrest people.

Scattered into small groups, the Jurchen soldiers and horses who harassed the Ming army in the mountains and countryside disappeared without a trace. There were even Jurchens who went to the Ming army to take the initiative to report the location of the soldiers and horses of the Jianzhou team. There were no villages to provide them with supplies, and no villages to provide them with temporary shelters. In the stationed area, the Jianzhou Jurchen squad that practiced guerrilla harassment tactics gradually lost the soil for survival, and the cavalry of the Ming army also increased the scope and frequency of patrols.

Many Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses hiding in the mountains were forced to go down the mountain to look for food, and then they were discovered by the patrolling Ming army horses and wiped out all of them.

The army only approached Hetuala at the end of March, and the troops approached the city, but almost half of the Jianzhou area was washed and wiped out, and all the villages were destroyed. From Fushun Pass to the city of Hetuala, the road was full of Han Chinese caravans transporting goods and slaves , it seems to be extremely prosperous.

There are less than 6000 people in the city of Hetuala, and resistance is a joke. Wang Tong refused to allow them to surrender, and he was arrested by the Ming army as a slave if he wanted to run out.

In the end, hundreds of desperate Jurchen soldiers under the city of Hetuala charged towards the army. The gates of the city were kept closed, as if they were waiting to die.

****************
"Marshal, the four hundred defenders of the city have all been wiped out."

The person who came to report this had a strange look on his face. This number was really not worth mentioning in front of Wang Tong, and Wang Tong shook his head and smiled.

"Datong Ma Yong, Xuanfu Li Sanshi, you lead all the soldiers and horses into the city, and Zu Chengxun leads a thousand cavalry to assist. From now until the sun goes down, I don't care what you do in the city. After the sun goes down, I will Set fire to the city, if you don't come out, stay in the city with the Tartars!"

After hearing this sentence, the generals below looked at each other with excited expressions. Wang Tong's words were tantamount to letting them do whatever they wanted in the city and have a good day.

After everyone agreed with a bang, they led the troops out to deploy. The rest of the armies were in a state of alert. The cavalry of the Huwei Army crossed Hetuala and continued to search and explore the way to the northeast, but the state of the whole army was equivalent to camping and stopping. Stationed.

After the cannon blasted the city gate, several frontier soldiers poured into the city of Hetuala. After a while, the city began to boil over, and laughter, shouting, and crying could be heard vaguely.

"Marshal, if you treat these people so indulgently, you may be unable to restrain them in the future and cause trouble!"

The others didn't speak, but Cai Nan took the opportunity to persuade and said, after all, if the military discipline is loosened, even if the Huwei army is strictly restrained, seeing the friendly troops so indulgent will also affect the morale.

Although Hetuala and Hetuala are the capitals of Jianzhou Jurchen, the Eastern Expeditionary Army obviously didn't stop there and would continue to march. If the soldiers are indulged like this now, there will definitely be troubles in the future.

Wang Tong waved his hand to make the guards back down, rubbed his forehead, and said to Cai Nan with a smile:
"These frontier soldiers, do you expect them to fight and harm the common people? This is what they are good at. That's fine. Let the Tartars see our intransigent style, kill all those who dare to resist, and burn them All the strongholds that dare to resist, let them be afraid."

When it was dark, the cavalry in the city began to withdraw. Everyone was stained with blood, but their faces were excited and tired. The next step was to set fire
