Before the stick of incense was lit, the offensive and defensive battle of Baoding Fucheng ended. The Peking Army's blue sky and red sun flag was hung high on the city. As for the inside of the city, the soldiers and civilians either surrendered or fled from the west gate in a panic, and the Peking Army did not pursue them.
, let those people escape.
However, only a few escaped. The soldiers and civilians in the city had long heard that the Peking Army would not kill or plunder, so most of them stayed in defiance. People closed their homes and closed their doors. The streets quickly returned to calm. Occasionally, some ruffians wanted to take advantage of the situation and rob them.
, were all killed by the Peking Army's city patrol team.
"Master Wan's Peking Army is really powerful. They captured a big city in such a short time." Liu Wanpi, who was watching the battle along with her, said with a smile. In fact, she was more worried than happy because the Peiping Army had the spirit to fight in the field.
With cavalry, siege artillery, and warships sailing across the sea, in the near future, the Peiping Army will sweep across the world and be unbeatable, and there will be no place in the world for the Song Army to stand.
"The Peiping Army does not belong to me alone, but to everyone." Wan Lei waved his hand and said: "Our army's strategic mission has been completed. Now we have to face the Ming Army's counterattack. The battle situation in the north will be turbulent. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
, if you Song Army don’t take the opportunity to cause trouble, there won’t be this shop after passing this village.”
"We understand this, it's just that we lack artillery..."
"I've said before, artillery is not for sale. I sold you nearly a hundred of them as an exception before. I have done my best to show my kindness. Don't mention it again." Wan Lei stopped Liu Wan and rode into the city.
In fact, Wan Lei also saw that Mrs. Liu and his group wanted to hoard artillery. The purpose was not only to rebel against Ming Dynasty, but also to hoard capital in order to compete for the world in the future. Wan Lei was not a fool and would not sell artillery to his potential enemies. Liu
Wan couldn't get the artillery, so in the end he had no choice but to leave with strong reluctance.
"Mr. Wan, the results and damage have been counted. Please take a look." As soon as Wan Lei arrived at the city gate, Zhou Tianshou, who entered the city first, came to see him and handed a stack of paper into his hand.
Wan Lei just glanced at it and said: "Start putting up notices to bring peace to the people, and start implementing martial law and curfew."
"This has already been done. Should we send someone to deliver a message to Beiping City and ask administrative and educational personnel to be sent there?" Zhou Tianshou asked. As a commander of the military region, he is mature and capable and can do many things. However,
This was the first time the Peking Army expanded its territory. Wan Lei came to supervise the army. On some important issues, he had to ask Wan Lei for instructions before making decisions.
"Let's not rush this. Since the two prefectures of Baoding and Hejian are newly merged into Shuntian Prefecture, military control must be implemented for at least one year. During this transition period, everything will be done according to the planned plan. First, some people will be selected from the local area.
Go to Shuntian Prefecture to study, and then be sent back to establish the same military and political institutions at all levels as Shuntian Prefecture."
It is easier to attack a city than to defend it. Wan Lei still understands this truth. Regarding the two newly occupied areas of Baoding and Hejian, the people and the people of Shuntian Prefecture are not of the same mind. If one is not managed well, the people will have opinions and even irritate
It becomes a rebellion, so be careful.
In order to bring the people of the two prefectures of Baoding and Hejian back home, the party committee headed by Wan Lei has already prepared several sets of measures. The most important one is tax exemption and exemption from service. All the people in the two prefectures who are law-abiding and law-abiding can be classified as citizens and can be allocated
If you own land of more than ten acres, you will enjoy a three-year tax exemption and be exempted from all corvées.
Those who are not very law-abiding are classified as residents and are not allocated land. They can only rent land from the government for farming and have to pay one-thirtieth of the land rent every year. The assessment period for residents is three years. If there is no land within three years,
If you have a criminal record and have no evasion of land rent and land tax, you can be promoted to a citizen and enjoy equal rights and obligations with other citizens.
There is no good policy for those who are stubborn and unrepentant. They will all be forced to work as slave labor. From now on, they will only have to dig coal in the wells and mine in the mountains. In short, let them do all the hard, tiring and dangerous work, and it will not matter whether they can survive.
, then it depends on whether his life is big enough.
Baoding Fucheng can only be regarded as a small city, with a radius of only a few miles. It cannot be compared with Beiping City. Wan Lei entered the city and saw that both sides of the streets were dilapidated. It had been several years since the Yan army's rebellion, but there was still no
There has been reconstruction, which shows that the abilities of officials at all levels in Baoding Prefecture are not very good. In the alleys, some ragged beggars can often be seen huddled in the corners. It can be seen from the faces of those disheveled people that they are living a life of hunger and cold.
.
Wan Lei didn't have time to lament the hardships of the people's livelihood. As usual, after entering the city, he would first reward the troops, then meet with the local elders, comfort them with kind words, and then start meeting prisoners of war at all levels. Since most of the officials ran away from the west gate,
Therefore, not many officials were captured.
In the yamen of Baoding Prefecture, Wan Lei was sitting on a Taishi chair. Beneath him were kneeling a Ming army general and a fifth-grade civil servant. They were Sheng Yong, the chief general of the garrison, and Lin Weiye, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture. They were both government and military officials.
The top leaders of Baoding Prefecture, others can abandon the city and flee, but they cannot.
It's not because they have integrity and loyalty, but because the crime of losing a government is enough to cost their heads. Everyone on the left and right will die. They would rather live or die with the city. After death, they can be recognized as loyal and loyal, and they can also give to their descendants.
Earn a pension. If you abandon the city and flee, you will get nothing, and the whole family may be in trouble.
Wan Lei naturally knew that these two guys would seek death, but then again, one of these two guys was a defeated general and the other was an incompetent prefect. Neither of them were capable people. To Wan Lei, their
Life or death is not worth mentioning, but Wan Lei had other reasons for taking the time to see them.
"You two, I'm not afraid to tell you bluntly, I will kill at least one of you two." Wan Lei looked at the two tied-up people in front of him coldly, his eyes seemed to be looking at two dead people.
"Since we have been defeated by you, we have no thought of living. We have to do whatever we want to kill or behead ourselves." Sheng Yong looked straight at Wan Lei, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
"No, you were defeated not in my hands, but in your own hands." Wan Lei shook his head and sneered: "In the two prefectures of Baoding and Hejian, refugees are everywhere and mourners are everywhere. You are officials and generals, not
Thinking about the people hanging upside down, but not breaking up with the people
You are still trying to exploit the people more and more, causing people's resentment to boil. How can there be any reason to be invincible? The Peiping Army went south this time to save the people. Of course, they can respond to every call. You don't even understand the principle of people's support. There is no reason to be invincible.
.”
"Winning or losing is just luck, don't talk nonsense, it's up to you whether you want to kill or behead him." Sheng Yong still didn't lower his head, staring directly at Wan Lei, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill Wan Lei.
"You Peiping Army are just traitors. Even if we let you capture Baoding Mansion, you will not be able to escape the word thief!" Magistrate Lin also shouted angrily.
"Whether our Peiping army is a bandit army or a rebel army is not decided by you, let alone the court, but by the people. I believe the world will have its own fair judgment." Wan Lei shook his head again and said to the guard: "
Pull them down, give them a good meal tonight, and push them out at noon tomorrow to show their heads to the public, in order to show their common sense."
Since neither of them had the intention to defect, Wan Lei didn't bother to keep them anymore, so he simply killed them all to calm the anger of the refugees in Baoding and Hejian. Of course, in order to make the name of the Peking Army Rebels more famous, he killed them all.
At the same time, these two people should be charged with some crimes to make the people hate them even more.
As for the charges, they are easy to find. In short, not many officials in the Ming Dynasty were clean, and now that the Peiping Army is in charge, even if they are as clean as water, with the ability of loyal and loyal guards, they can be made into greedy ink.
