Since entering the city, Yang Zhen has actually been thinking about the issue of discipline. However, he currently lacks the means to unite everyone and inspire morale. As a last resort, he has no choice but to encourage people by entering the city and plundering them.

Now that the city has been destroyed, the previous goal has been achieved, but seeing the scene in the city, Yang Zhen still feels unhappy and depressed. For a moment, he doesn't know whether his previous decision was right or wrong.

Facing the Manchu Tatars on the battlefield, as well as the two traitorous Tartars who were aiding the tyrants and working as slaves, he would certainly not be merciful, but when it came to the old, weak, women and children kneeling on their knees, it was difficult for him to do so.

This is also the reason why when he was in Yilipo, he asked everyone else to enter the city while he stayed in Yilipo to take care of the finishing touches.

What should be done still has to be done, but he just lets others do it. Although it is somewhat hypocritical of a gentleman staying away from the chef, what can he do? This is the only thing he can do at the moment.

However, just as he entered the city, Zhang Chen's words made him determined that the future advance battalion of the Eastern Expedition should become a new army with strict discipline, a new army through and through.

At least you can't kill women and children, you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you can't plunder people. Once you do such things, how different is this team from the Liaodong Army?!

This is not because Yang Zhen is pedantic or has a woman's heart, but it means that a person must have a bottom line, and some things below the bottom line cannot be done no matter how hard it is.

As for facing enemies, especially enemies on the battlefield and enemies invading China, there is nothing to say. As long as the enemy can be destroyed and oneself saved, any means can be adopted. Yang Zhen is still very clear about this.

Let's say that Yang Zhen entered the city and delivered a righteous speech in front of a group of old brothers from the advance battalion at the city gate. Then he left Zhang Guogan to lead a team of musketeers to guard the north gate, and everyone else followed him to the city.

go.

Zhang Chen led others to clear the way, and after a while, the group arrived at the gate of Zhangjing Mansion in the city.

At this time, someone had already entered the Zhangjing Mansion to report the news. Yuan Jin, Lu Pinqi, Li Lu, Gao Chengyou, Yu Liangtai, and Hu Dabao came out from the courtyard gate laughing and laughing.

"Brother General! Brother General! What a wonderful achievement! We have only been here for a few days. Brother, you first defeat Xuguan Fort, and then Xiongyue City! Who has done this feat? Only Marshal Mao can do it when he captured Zhenjiang.

Comparable!"

As soon as Yang Zhen and his party arrived at the gate of Tatar Zhangjing Mansion in Xiongyue City, they saw a bunch of people pouring out. The first one was Yuan Jin.

Yuan Jin, who was full of joy, immediately started shouting loudly as soon as he saw Yang Zhen's face a few steps away, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was here:

"Brother General Soldier! You have to know that this is Xiongyue City where six hundred Tatars with white flags are stationed! It's a real six hundred Tatars with white flags!"

"Hey - Brother Yuan! In addition to these 600 genuine Tatar bannermen and armored men with white flags, there are also two thousand Tatars in armor in this city.

Woolen cloth!"

"That's right! There are more than 600 Tatars in Xiongyue City! There are all kinds of Tatars, and if you add them all together, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are 3,000 Tatars! Just talking about the heads chopped off by the big guys, there are always 2,000

Come on!"

As soon as Yuan Jin finished speaking, Lu Pinqi, Li Lu, Gao Chengyou and Hu Dabao also spoke one after another, each of them smiling and talking lively, as if they were teasing Yuan Jin or reporting to Yang Zhen.

From the Battle of Yilipo early yesterday morning, to the Battle of Jiulongdi, to the Battle of Xuguanbao, and now to the complete capture of Xiongyue City, it seems that it has been a long time, but in fact, in detail,

The total time is just a little more than one day and one night.

After all calculations, it will only take a little more than twelve hours.

In these little more than twelve hours, Yang Zhen led such a patchwork team to fight continuously, and he was victorious. It is indeed not easy to achieve such victory and results.

.

Yang Zhen was also very satisfied with this.

Therefore, although the words spoken by Yuan Jin and others sounded a bit blatant, what they said was quite true, and it was very useful to listen to Yang Zhen's ears at this time.

When Yang Zhen saw everyone coming out, he quickly walked a few steps, smiled and stepped forward, hugged Yuan who was the first to greet him, then nodded to the others, and was immediately cheered and supported by everyone.

, entered Zhangjing Mansion.

This Zhangjing Mansion in the city, which was full of Tatars, was rebuilt from the original Xiong Yue Post, but the basic shape of Xiong Yue Post was still maintained.

The original Xiongyue Station had three courtyards in front and back. The two courtyards in the front were the public rooms of the post station, and the one in the back was where the post officials and postmen lived and slept.

Now, this place has been changed to Zhangjing Mansion. The original basic layout of the three courtyards of the inn has not changed, but the left and right sides of the entire courtyard have opened doors, each occupying a cross-courtyard.

The larger courtyard to the east is the school ground where Tatar Zhang Jing practiced military exercises. At this time, the school ground was crowded with people of all kinds, wailing and wailing.

The courtyard to the west is slightly smaller in size, but it is where the public treasury of Zhangjing Mansion in Xiongyue City is located. Yang Zhen, led by everyone, entered the courtyard gate and saw a row of round and pointed grain crops inside.

Hoard.

Looking more closely, this grain store is divided into two straight lines, each with five seats. Although each building is not too big, if it is full, it will not hold a hundred stones of grain.

Enough.

Although the Manchu Tatars now have the so-called Qing Dynasty, the high-level officials no longer use the Eight Banners method of the Later Jin Dynasty, but they still do not adopt the method of assigning officials in their rear areas, especially at the lower levels.

.

Especially in Xiongyue, a newly built city, there were no Han official directors assigned, and there were no civil officials such as prefects, county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates.

The people in charge in the city, or officials, are the various levels of Zhang Jing stationed by the Manchu Tatars, and Zhang Jing's residence is both a private residence and an official residence.

Therefore, this Zhang Jing Mansion is basically the same as the previous Xiong Yueyi Mansion, with a public-private structure in the front. The front is the official office where Zhang Jing works, and the back is the private residence where Zhang Jing lives.

At present, the regulations and system for local governance by the Manchu and Qing Tatars are still in their infancy. A public treasury for Niu Lu Zhangjing is located in the official office of Zhangjing Mansion.

The so-called public treasury is a place where the Tatars of Niulu are used to centrally store and transfer grain, grass and military supplies during expeditions. In normal times, it is a centralized storage and transfer place for all kinds of money and grain materials to be paid to the emperor.

This time, the West Cross Courtyard of Zhangjing Mansion in Xiongyue City has become the location of the public treasury of the two Niu Lu.

All kinds of things, including those brought by Jia La Zhangjing Zhangkushan with a white flag, to be distributed, were also temporarily stored in the so-called public treasury of Zhangjing Mansion.

Yang Zhen, surrounded by everyone, came to one of the grain stores and gestured to open it and take a look.

At this time, Hu Dabao stepped forward, holding a bone in his hand, and smashed it towards the locked place. With a "bang", the lock suddenly broke.

Hu Dabao stepped forward and kicked hard, but with a "bang", the small door made of wooden boards fell down.

Everyone followed Yang Zhen and went forward to take a look. They saw dozens of sacks stacked in the grain store, as well as a pile of helmets, armor, saddles, shields and other items scattered around.

Yang Zhen bent down and lowered his head, entered through the narrow door, opened a sack and took a look, but saw that the sack was full of unhusked rice.

Yang Zhen came out of the grain store and asked others to open all the grain stores and check them one by one. There were supplies in the ten grain storehouses and two corner rooms in the entire Xikua Yard.

Among them, six of them are granaries, filled with grains. Some are bags of unhulled rice, some are bags of wheat, and many are bags of millet and sorghum.

There are four more. In addition to food, there is also a large amount of ordnance. There are many flags and drums, armor, crossbows, swords, shields, arrowheads, and a large number of spears and spearheads used for marching and fighting.

The other two corner rooms, although not full, were also stocked with large quantities of beef tendons, antlers, saddles, horse gear and other useful items.

After completing this trip and checking the northeast and west of the public treasury, Yang Zhen felt a little more at ease. At least with these things, Xiongyue City was not defeated in vain this time.

"Besides this Xikuoyuan, what else can you gain?"

Yang Zhen led everyone out while talking to Lu Pinqi and others beside him.

Lu Pinqi replied with a smile: "As for the harvest, to be honest with you, sir, we destroyed Xiongyue City, sir, and you let go so generously, you will still gain something!"

"But - speaking of harvest, none of us' harvest can be as good as that of Li Youji under your command, sir! As soon as Li Youji came up, he went straight to the Zhangjing Mansion and sealed the public treasury first! Then

The inner residence of Zhang Jing Mansion at the back was also sealed!

"I've seen so much of Xiongyue City that even if we dig deep and rob it all, I'm afraid we still won't be able to catch up with the public treasury and the inner chamber of Zhangjing Mansion! Don't you think so? Hahahaha!"

When Lu Pinqi said this, other people such as Miao Naicheng, Gao Chengyou, Hu Dabao, and Yu Liangtai also started shouting: "That's right! That's right! The gold, silver, wealth and silk in this city are not as good as the treasury of Zhang Jing Mansion."
Chapter completed!
