Chapter 145: Stable rear
As he said that, Zhao Xusheng turned to his side and pointed at the two of them and said, "Look at the Sakhana and Zhalari who have received you these days. One of them is the Jurchens and the other is the Xibe. Now one is the general of our army and the other is the guerrilla general of our army. They can, and you can do the same."
Sahana and Zarari stood up.
Sakhana said, "Everyone, my father is Mangourtai, and he was once one of the four belles of the Qing Dynasty. Because he had offended Huang Taiji before, he suppressed my father everywhere after he ascended the throne and became emperor. Even after my father passed away, he was framed for rebellion by him. I pity my father fought for the Qing Dynasty all his life, but in the end my family was confiscated and his descendants became slaves. If it weren't for the general's intake, I, Sakhana, would have died without a burial place. Just imagine, if they treat their own people like this, what do you think of them?"
Sakhana became more and more excited as he spoke, "The Jurchens totaled less than one million, but the warriors were only more than 200,000, but they were insatiable. They were not satisfied with occupying Liaodong, and they still wanted to occupy the Central Plains and seize the world. Look at it now! The army of the commander-in-chief has attacked Jianzhou and captured Xiuyan City. I believe that the entire Liaodong will be able to be recaptured soon. Everyone, follow the Qing Dynasty and will only have a dead end in the end. Only the commander-in-chief can treat us equally and give us a chance. Following the commander-in-chief to fight the enemy bravely, it is not impossible to be named a marquis and prime minister in the future. You must not miss such a God-given opportunity!"
Zhao Xusheng looked at Sahana and thought to himself that this guy was too good to speak! This mouth could be a force for thousands of elite soldiers. He waved his hand and stopped Sahana from continuing to say it. Too much is not enough, and he knew very well. "Everyone, I will give you three days to consider. When will you agree or disagree, you will give me a correct letter."
Zhao Xusheng paused and smiled faintly: "Now the war around Xiuyan City has come to an end. It is not a matter of tens of thousands of troops having a meal every day, and it is time to move. I might as well tell you that in the future, the entire southern Liaoning, including Xiuyan City, will be the rear of our army. I cannot allow any future troubles to be left behind. Anyone who dares to resist will be wiped out. After you go back, you should think carefully and choose the wrong step. It may be a broken bone."
Zhao Xusheng's words were calm, but his tone was full of murderous aura. Everyone present was trembling in their hearts and had no mood to eat a banquet.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed. The two Jurchens stayed, with hesitant expressions. "General, can we save our lives by just following the three you said?"
Zhao Xusheng looked at them, shook his head and said, "You are different."
Seeing the two people's faces change suddenly, Zhao Xusheng said in a deep voice: "You are Jurchens. Although you are not Jianzhou Jurchens, you enjoy the same treatment as the bannermen. It depends on which piece of the fields you occupy is not the best? Which piece is not robbed? But are you farming these excellent fertile fields yourself? How do you oppress the Han people in daily life and how do you slaughter them at will? Do you think these things can be passed by just saying the past? Even if I say the past, will you believe it, and dare to believe it?"
Looking at the two people who were pale and unable to speak for a long time, Zhao Xusheng calmed down his tone. "By population, each Jurchen retains ten acres of fertile land, and all the remaining ones are classified as officials. Your private property remains unchanged, but all the slaves must be handed over. Give up the fort where you live, and the government will place you a new residence."
The younger man among the two said, "Give up the fort, then we will not even have the power to resist. What if you attack us again?"
Zhao Xusheng glanced at him, "If you don't give up, can that dwarf fort protect you? I will tell you that you don't want to surrender in this army. But you want to destroy the soldiers who will kill you all. If you don't believe me, you can go back to prepare for war. You guys, women, old and young, and how long can you stop me?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Please don't get angry, General. The little people believe in the general, but they are not allowed to do so. We come to surrender the general, and we should abide by everything the general said. But please forgive us a little, so that most people can feel at ease, so as not to cause any trouble."
Zhao Xusheng nodded, "This is reasonable. Let's do it! After you surrender, the government can concentrate you in one place and allow you to retain other weapons other than armor. This is OK!"
The middle-aged man looked happy, "The people of the little ethnic group thanked the general."
Zhao Xusheng waved his hand, "Don't thank me first. Like everyone else, you must do the three things I said. Those who have worked as officers in the Qing army before will not be allowed to enter our army. Also, you must understand that kindness is limited, opportunities are not always available, but human life is only once. If you rebel again, I will not be so easy to talk to next time."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not."
Early the next morning, the people who were still sleeping were awakened by a noise. They came out of the quilt and opened the window. They saw Wu Zhiying riding into the city from afar, with several heads hanging behind the horse.
Behind him, nearly a thousand cavalry were in a strict formation, escorting more than a thousand prisoners into the city one by one, with a grand momentum.
After escorting all the prisoners around the street, dozens of leaders were pushed out. They were beheaded in public on the street, and their heads were hung above the city.
When the tribal leaders left, they looked at the heads and were both shocked and frightened, prompting them to make a decision faster.
In the next month, people kept coming to Xiuyan City to hand over the number of registered people in the tribe. Zhao Xusheng sent people to their tribe to recruit young and strong men from it, and soon recruited nearly 5,000 people.
A month later, Zhao Xusheng began to eliminate tribes that were still unwilling to surrender. With the participation of tribal soldiers who were familiar with the local situation, and with the absolute dominance of the troops, everything went very smoothly.
Except for a few who escaped into the mountains and forests, they have not been wiped out for the time being. Anyone who knows where they are stationed will be suppressed.
Apart from those who were killed, nearly 10,000 were captured.
Zhao Xusheng completely broke them up, and the Han people, Jurchens, Mongolians and other tribesmen lived in a mixed relationship, and placed them in the original Qing army manor around Xiuyan City.
In order to better control, Zhao Xusheng sent special officials and military generals to supervise them. As for the bandits who fled into the mountains, Zhao Xusheng sent a small group of troops to continue to clean up them.
