The horse grew very fast. In a few months, the Qianlixue recommended by Feng Youxian was obviously bigger. Zhang Ning rode on its back. Its raised head was very compatible with the conqueror's arrogant aura.
Zhang Ning looked up at the ruined city tower after the war ravaged, and a team of soldiers had already inserted the yellow-bottomed Vermilion Bird flag onto the top of the city.
The officials kneeling on the roadside outside the city gate were already lying in dignity and were not even attracted by the direct eyes.
Many officials in Changde Prefecture have run away, but there are still many officials left. Most of them are local local snakes. Their family property is in Changde. They usually act as a domineering over the people and are people who directly control grassroots power.
Amid the sound of the beating of the skin drum, teams of Suzaku Army soldiers formed a formation and officially entered Changde Mansion City.
Countless iron shoes trampled on the ground neatly, making loud and shocking footsteps. The sound of power alone seemed to indicate force.
The nearby Taoyuan, Wuling and other places have surrendered rapidly, and I believe that Longyang County in the southwest will also surrender.
Prefectures and counties may not support the rebels' occupation, but they do not want to make unnecessary sacrifices for this civil war to show their integrity.
Only Yu Qian dares to order extraordinary things when extraordinary people do extraordinary things.Zhang Ning looked back and sighed.
Everyone then laughed sporadically, most of whom were ridiculed, and only the winners were qualified to laugh at others like this.
However, most of them misunderstood Zhang Ning's meaning, and Zhang Ning did not mean to mock Yu Qian.
He remembered Yu Qian's performance in the defense of Beijing in historical materials. At that time, hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the Beijing camp were almost lost, and the court was shrouded in a pessimistic atmosphere. Some even advocated moving the capital, but Yu Qian became the pro-war faction and was ordered to be in danger. But this time he gave up retreating so easily, which was not very consistent with Zhang Ning's impression.
However, in Zhang Ning's rational thinking, Yu Qian's actions from the perspective of war itself are undoubtedly the best choice. The firearm phalanx of the Suzaku Army has led the military development of this era, and the conventional infantry of the official army is usually impossible to defeat the firearm phalanx.
A Ming Dynasty person was inevitably limited to his thinking at that time, let alone a literati. Yu Qian was able to recognize the situation of the war so quickly, rather than be stubborn on the concept of the number of troops, which also surprised Zhang Ning.
At this moment, Wei Bin, commander of Yongding Camp, said calmly: It’s a pity that the Ma Corps failed to pursue it in time, otherwise the results would be much greater.
Wei Bin obviously expressed dissatisfaction and blame on Feng Youxian. In addition to being right, he may also be right to others.
Feng Youxian was a newly joined person, but he was in an important position as soon as he came, and he was inevitably separated from the elderly in the Vermillion Bird Army.
Chen Gai is Wei Bin's subordinate, and he is a person who is unrestrained. At this time, he also said in a joke-like tone: Commander Feng can't bear to chase and beat the poor bandits, so he deliberately let it go, right?
Feng Youxian's face looked very ugly. Even Zhang Ning felt that this sentence was reasonable. Feng Youxian's extremely surrendered generals were indeed not cruel enough to the official army...
However, this seems very reasonable to Zhang Ning, which shows that Feng Youxian is not a crazy extreme person.
Zhang Ning said a few words to Feng Youxian: Even I didn’t expect the government army to really run away. Who would have thought so before?After confirming the facts, Commander Feng was transferred to pursue him with horse soldiers. He must have been worried that he would be able to walk slowly after he was attacked... General Feng, is that true?
At that time, except for part of the main force of the official army retreated from the waterway, most of them retreated to Yiyang through Longyang City, discarding most of the baggage but taking away a large number of horses.
Zhang Ning's central army concluded from many signs that they were indeed going to run, and immediately dispatched the horse corps to pursue and expand the results of the battle, and the cavalry commander was Feng Youxian.
Feng Youxian said seriously: The prince is clear about it, that's exactly what it means.After our army was dispatched to cross Longyang City, most of the enemy might have approached Yiyang. At that time, not only were the cities in Longyang County still under the hands of the government troops, but the garrisons in Yiyang and other places were not weak.My cavalry went deeper alone, and there was no place we controlled or clear around us. The general was a little worried, and even missed the matter. Please punish the prince.
Being cautious is not a big mistake, although he lost his chances of fighting as a result.
Zhang Ning nodded, then reached out and patted Feng Youxian's arm in a gentle manner, and said to the left and right, no matter what, the battle in Shichang Bay will determine the overall situation.General Feng deserves his true contribution, who do you disagree?
Feng Youxian hurriedly lowered his posture and said, "I dare not take it as a lie, I really can't bear the first merit."If the prince had not coordinated the overall situation and Lord Wei (Wei Bin) was good at cutting off the fighter opportunity, where would he be able to make a contribution?The last general is just obedient and doing his own duties, not seeking merits but seeking no mistakes.
He spoke in an official voice in a very sophisticated manner, and his expression was extremely modest and sincere, but Zhang Ning really didn't think that these words came from Feng Youxian's true intentions.
Feng Youxian is just a young man. If he is so humble and has no ambition and ambition, he should farm at home instead of turning to the Vermilion Bird Army and returning to the mountain. Feng Youxian said this, probably just didn't want to offend others.
Zhang Ning didn't point it out, but just said earnestly: The road ahead is still difficult and dangerous. I hope you don't forget the overall situation. Everything is fair and not disappoint those who have the ability and make contributions.
This sentence was clearly said to Feng Youxian, but in fact it was for the civil servants and generals present to listen to it.
Finally, a general spoke: Commander Feng is the first to be successful, brothers are convinced.Everyone agreed.
Wei Bin finally said: Speaking of the Battle of Shichang Bay, someone also recognizes Commander Feng's ability. If he is idle another day, the brothers in the camp will set up wine to celebrate your achievements.
Feng Youxian hurriedly said: It is better to obey orders than to be respectful to the officials.
Zhang Ning smiled and said: It’s good to drink happily, drunkenness hurts your body.
The Suzaku Army drove into Changde City, controlled all the major traffic routes, and all the official armed forces surrendered.The next day, along with several small troops who blocked the Suzaku Army in the south, surrendered.
Regarding the prisoners, some generals yelled to chop off their brothers who died in Lizhou, because some of these prisoners of war in the official army were subordinates of Qin Yousheng who participated in the battle in Lizhou.
But Zhang Ning immediately rejected the requests of the generals without thinking.
The Senate quickly ordered that the captive identity list should be counted first, and all officers and soldiers below the general flag officers were released, so that they could go home to reunite with their families.
The officers were to be tried, and some generals who participated in the massacre were executed, and the Senate used a new crime for the first time as a war criminal.
The reason why Zhang Ning wanted to release the captured soldiers was very simple. It is unlikely that people would pose any threat to the Suzaku Army after they were released. This was just a civil war. At the same time, the idea of weakening the potential of the imperial court's war through killing is meaningless. There are millions of people with only military household registration in the Ming Dynasty. How many can you kill?
Immediately afterwards, some conventional laws were promulgated one after another. In addition to reiterating the internal reconciliation of military discipline and not disturbing the people's crimes, the People's Bills were also posted. The new rulers made many solemn promises to the local governments and soldiers to calm the people's hearts and let the people have their own affairs.
Zhang Ning did not ask about these matters, and the Senate Department made arrangements every day. Zhang Ning once again felt that the important role of establishing this yamen really reduced a lot of burden for him. Many things that he could not imagine alone could be done by officials themselves.
Perhaps Zhang Ning felt that he needed creative approaches, and after he arrived in Changde, he issued an unusual decree called "Equal Military and Civilians".
It was ordered that all prefectures and counties under their rule be abolished, and all military households will be changed to nationality. In the future, there will be no restrictions on the imperial examination and business.
This law was actually extraordinary at this time. In the past, military households were actually second-class citizens, and they might not be much better than cheap people. They were not only discriminated against in society, but also subject to many restrictions. They could not be in the imperial examinations or business, and were also hereditary, similar to semi-slaves.
It is proven that the children of military households are usually from the same origin. People from the national origin are not willing to marry them. People do not want their descendants to have no chance to make a comeback for generations.
Taizu said: I raise a million soldiers without spending a grain of rice for the people. Dreams are good, but reality goes against my wishes. The Ming Dynasty has only been established for less than 60 years, and the combat effectiveness of the army has declined day by day, and at the same time, countless problems have quickly extended.
When Zhang Ning was discussing affairs with Zhu Wenguan, he discussed in an article that he believed that military status was a bad policy.
He believed that the national military preparation is the responsibility of everyone from top to bottom, and there is no reason to only allow a part of the people to bear both military service and provide military rations. This statement is unfair; a fair approach is that from royal family members, nobles, civil servants, and civil servants, to the people, everyone should contribute to military preparations.
The government orders had almost no resistance. Like Chenzhou, Changde was under the rule of the Zhuque Army from the day the city was broken. The former officials had no right to speak and could only surrender to the iron hooves and rely on their breath to survive. However, no matter whether it is civil officials or generals within the Zhuque Army, daily management of government and military affairs was the key, and this policy did not conflict with their interests.
However, there were a few civil officials with some knowledge that the military system was actually made by Taizu, and it was considered an ancestral system. However, since Zhang Ning, as Taizu's descendants, all the descendants violated the ancestral system, the people below were not great scholars, and no one was too lazy to care about it.
In fact, in Zhang Ning's view, a policy that is too unfair, even the ancestral system of the charter cannot last long.
After the mid-Ming Dynasty, serious problems arose because in the past, they used to maintain national defense by exploiting military households. Soon the government's troops were corrupt and it was difficult to maintain military expenditure. Instead, they had to bear the burden of the treasury, which dragged down the entire finance, and military expenditure became the largest treasury expenditure. Zhang Ning believed that the military system also bears certain responsibilities for the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty.
However, he was unable to design a new system to replace the abolition of the established national policy of the court; however, this problem is not a problem at the moment. He faces how to defeat powerful enemies, not how to govern the country.
Zhang Ning stood on the head of Changde Mansion, looking at the rivers, fields and mountains in his sight for a long time. He thought that a person's eyes were indeed determined by the location; just a few years ago, he never really cared about these things, but only saw how his family lived.
Zhang Ning looked up at the ruined city tower after the war ravaged, and a team of soldiers had already inserted the yellow-bottomed Vermilion Bird flag onto the top of the city.
The officials kneeling on the roadside outside the city gate were already lying in dignity and were not even attracted by the direct eyes.
