The sun sets every day, and the evening scenery next to you is usually very beautiful on sunny days.
But the scenery that attracted Zhang Ning tonight was not the natural scenery on the banks of the Lishui River, but the scene of the prisoner camp.
He and several military generals and guards were patrolling around the camp when they suddenly stopped beside the prisoner camp.
Everyone followed Zhang Ning's gaze and the surrendered soldiers were having a meal.The soldiers in the camp had eaten it, and then they borrowed the pot, bowl and chopsticks and allocated military rations.
I haven't seen such a delicious meal in a long time. Many people snuggled the rice in front of their faces after eating the bowl.
Zhang Ning was very surprised to see that when he was an official, he had seen some officials reflecting the miserable words of military households. For example, Yang Shiqi had a memorial saying that the soldiers in the garrison in various places were hungry and thin...
The short line of words from the imperial officials did not expect to be so important.
Zhang Ning saw it with his own eyes and immediately understood it.
When he turned his head, he was touching the gaze of his close bodyguard Xu Wenjun, and there was nothing to say with her. Then he looked at Zhou Mengxiong, but he stopped talking, but finally didn't speak.
He kicked the horse and left the prisoner camp and continued to patrol the camp.
Since killing Wu Yong to silence him, Zhang Ning felt that his ideas were constantly changing. He originally thought that he had become cold-blooded and ruthless, but today he found that some deep-rooted concepts were not easy to change.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he remembered that he would drive away these prisoners to die tomorrow.
Rushing the surrendered soldiers to poach the wall, Liu Heju, who was guarding the city, would not sit idly by and would definitely order attacks and massacres these people. In fact, any competent general would give such orders; if the surrendered soldiers ran back, Zhang Ning would still order the massacre to serve as a warning to You, otherwise he would definitely not be able to force others to go over...
It's so inhumane. These military households are like serfs, and they are originally poor people.
But he thought again, if he was always so kind and ruthless, how could he win?The capture of Yongding Guard has great strategic significance and can be ignored!
He kept convinced himself: Although people call themselves the spirit of all things, they are still following the laws of the jungle and the strong are prey on the weak. The masses of fish have huge desires; what can losers do, complain about themselves...
He really doesn't like the feeling of self-pity.
The desire for victory, the hatred of shame...
He felt that he was indeed a person who could not afford to lose, and was fragile and easy to lose.
Zhang Ning's face was gloomy and sunny. The last afterglow of the sun was reflected on her face, and her skin seemed to have turned orange and yellow.
What is the chance of winning when General Zhou’s method of digging the wall?Zhang Ning turned his head again and asked calmly.
Zhou Mengxiong pondered for a moment and said: It’s hard to make a conclusion.Since Your Highness has made up his mind to attack the city, only this method is enough, you can't build a cloud ladder ants, and six or seven hundred people are definitely not enough to lose weight... In the battle yesterday, after watching, I felt that the range of the firearms in the army should be more than one hundred steps, and they are well trained and able to use the rotational shooting method proposed by King Mu of Yunnan.We can use this tactic to drive the surrendered soldiers to fill the river, then dig walls under the city, and use wood, ignition and oil arrows to resist the enemy. At this time, our army used firearms to cover the enemy at a hundred steps, with the purpose of killing and injuring the enemy.In this way, the loss of the surrendered soldiers can be exchanged for the troops and supplies of the defenders.When the surrendered soldiers were killed or injured, they would build bamboo rafts to cross the river, and surrounded and force nearby military households to continue this method.In time, the defenders could not support the casualties and losses, and they might surrender.
Zhang Ning asked: Can you estimate the exchange comparison? How many Ding Fu can be killed in exchange for the life of a defender?
This... Zhou Mengxiong thought about it. Our army shot from the back and blocked it. It depends on the soldiers' shooting skills. It is estimated that ten people can kill one or two enemy soldiers.Is our army sufficient ammunition?
Gunpowder is enough.
Zhang Ning said that he plundered a lot of sulfur from Shimen County, and with the raw materials, he made enough gunpowder, because muskets were not consumed much, and if the lead bullet was not enough, it would not take too much time to make it now.
Zhang Ning asked again: If the surrendered soldiers are over and cross the river to capture people, will the military households and the people hide in the mountains?
Zhou Mengxiong replied cautiously: It is very likely, maybe it is not easy to catch Ding.
Zhang Ning suddenly found that Zhou Mengxiong was looking at him with a strange look. Such eyes made him feel uncomfortable all over, as if he had been seen through.
For some reason, Zhang Ning was reluctant to let people see through him and habitually wanted to disguise him.
But he asked the question just now, wasn’t he just looking for reasons for himself?
Maybe he already has the answer to how to decide.
It just needs a reason, or an excuse.
He thought of his father, and perhaps he regretted his decision after his failure, right?
Perhaps one day when you are mermaid, you will hate yourself for being indecisive when you have the chance to be fishy!
Zhang Ning held the sword around his waist with his left hand, and he felt sweat soaked in his palm, and it was wet and slippery.
If you don’t go to the battlefield to command the battle in person, it will be much easier to make decisions. What is the fate of more than 400 surrendered soldiers? It’s just a number, not a group of people who swallow their tigers and choke their food.
Things cannot be done and cannot be forced.Let’s take the two counties of Cili and Shimen first, get the supplies and then make plans for a long time. What do you think?He finally spoke.
Zhou Mengxiong first agreed: That's right. It is reported that Zhu Yong mobilized the main force of the official army to deal with the Miao people in Luxi. The troops east of Yongding Guard were empty, and the defenses of each county were fragile, so it was very easy to attack.First take all the places along the Lishui coast, then take Dayongsuo, Jiuxiwei and other cities. The Yongding Guards have suffered heavy losses and are difficult to fight in the field. They have become an isolated city, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it...
Zhang Ning turned around and looked at the generals with a search expression. Wei Bin and others were dull... At the slightly larger strategic level, these generals seemed to have little knowledge and were really helpless.
However, Zhou Mengxiong became more and more excited as he spoke: If the Miao people could hold Zhu Yong in Chenzhou, the situation would be very good; we rely on the territory in the northwest of Dongting to expand our army and prepare for war, and in a few months, the troops reached a scale, and we would have the capital to win the Changde Prefecture.If Changde Prefecture is captured, the wealthy land of Dongting fish and rice will not be as strong as the same... Not only will Wuchang be shaken, but the capital and the world will be moved by it.
Zhang Ning nodded and acted calmly.
Seeing the red light on Zhou Mengxiong's face, he couldn't help but think about the person's position...
Is Zhou Mengxiong sent down from above for other purposes? Although Zhang Ning did not find any evidence to support it, he was just a speculation, but he did not doubt this; however, intuition, Zhou Mengxiong's position was not that simple. If he really followed Emperor Jianwen and ran out of Nanjing, he should miss the glory of the past?
How to deal with surrendered soldiers?Wei Bin asked.
When Zhou Mengxiong heard this, he looked at Zhang Ning with an interesting look. Zhang Ning actually hated such a look.
His tone also became less friendly: What can be done? Could it be that more than 400 people were killed together?
Wei Bin said: I am afraid that when we leave, these surrendered soldiers will become pawns of the official army again, and will become enemies with us again after being armed.
Zhang Ning said decisively this time: You can see that those people have different accents and are forced to be military households from other places, so they will be satisfied with the food they give them.First, I will make a name and tell them that those who are willing to join us will have food and military pay; those who are unwilling to pay travel expenses to let them get out, and they will be cut off next time they are captured.
His tone was stiff and there was no intention of negotiation. Wei Bin didn't say much, but just clasped his fists and said: Yes.
The next morning, after the surrendered soldiers figured out the situation, half of the people were willing to join the gang; most of the others had married and had children in Yongdingwei's military farming, and most of them said they wanted to escape.
Even if the Yongding Guard had not encountered such a disaster, it had run away a lot before, otherwise the acropolis with a total of five or six thousand soldiers would not have only such a few soldiers.
The military households had a relatively simple idea, because they had seen the power of the rebels and had rice and meat to eat. In addition, they didn't know where to stay, so they simply joined the group.
The soldiers cut down trees and bamboo to build many rafts, and sent the surrendered soldiers who were unwilling to rebel across the river. Each of them sent some food and food, and then sent them away.
The remaining more than 200 people were reorganized and organized into the first and second brigades of the right scepter; the generals above the team selected personnel from the Zhuque Army, and the newly added soldiers had no weapons or flags for the time being.
As for Zhang Ning's order, the registration of the item was not implemented, and many generals could not even recognize the words, which was a bit time-consuming to handle.
Zhang Ning's men expanded to about a thousand people. Everyone drew rafts to cross the river one after another, and transported the baggage and a dozen wounded soldiers to the other side. Because of the simple tools, they all crossed the river until the afternoon.
The officials in the Acropolis were just watching the fun, and had no intention of leaving the city to fight again.
The army marched eastward from the north shore. After walking for two days, they cut wood and built ships to cross the river again, because the mountain roads on the north shore became increasingly difficult to walk.
If the Yongding Acropolis was not stuck in the middle, people wouldn't have to cross the river twice.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the army arrived outside Cili County.
The magistrate of Cili County committed suicide two months ago, and there seemed to be no superior. The officials found out that it was Zhang Ning's men who came back, so they simply opened the city and surrendered.
Zhang Ning did not disappoint the officials and people of Cili County. After leading the army into the city, he strictly ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people.
However, military rations must be replenished to those officials.
After a day of rest, Yao Erlang's left whistle Fifth Brigade was left to garrison, urging local officials and gentry to raise military supplies; the main force continued to march east along the river.
When he arrived in Shimen County, the familiar Wang Dianshi saw that Zhang Ning had brought so many soldiers to him, so he took the initiative to open the door to greet him.
County Magistrate Wang was punished, but this old guy was still in office, without any change.
Zhou Mengxiong was stunned by the lack of bloodshed all the way.
Zhang Ning told the generals a little proudly about the benefits of military discipline, and it gradually began to take effect...
These counties know that they can't defeat them even if they resist, and they won't be killed when they open the door and surrender. Fools know how to choose. As for the risk of being punished by the court afterwards, there is nothing they can do. It would be better for a hero to lose money in front of him than to be killed now.
But the scenery that attracted Zhang Ning tonight was not the natural scenery on the banks of the Lishui River, but the scene of the prisoner camp.
He and several military generals and guards were patrolling around the camp when they suddenly stopped beside the prisoner camp.
