"You put down your weapons and come out, or we will attack."
Su Xiong arranged for his soldiers to shout to the other side, fearing that the other side was pretending to surrender.
After Su He's usual training, he would explain some military knowledge to them.
Su Xiong was puzzled how his brother, who had been playing together since childhood, suddenly became literate and knew so much.
However, he was very thirsty for knowledge and crazily absorbed Professor Su He's military knowledge. He especially remembered the fake surrender.
When the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty heard Su He's request, they hesitated for a while and then stepped out from behind the carriage.
In front of Su Xiong and others, they threw aside their bows, arrows, matchlocks and sabers.
This officer was the most special. He was lying on a wooden board and was carried out by his men.
When he came out, he said very forcefully: "Give me the same troops, and you guys will be done for.
If I hadn't been injured and couldn't run, I wouldn't have stayed here.
In order not to harm my brothers, I surrender to you, and I will definitely not be unable to defeat you."
"No matter what, you lose. Tie them up and let the others clean up the battlefield." Su Xiong ordered.
When Su He saw that the war was over, he led a company of soldiers down Wo Niu Slope to meet Su Xiong.
"Commander Su, there are two deserters in the Second Company, and I have executed them according to military discipline.
The military law enforcement team has recorded in detail the meritorious service of each soldier, and is now sorting out the seized materials."
Su Ying saw Su He coming and immediately stepped forward to report.
"There are only two. It seems that our usual education has a very good effect."
Su He was very satisfied. There were only two deserters. This ratio was really not high.
Su He walked to the center of the battlefield. The scene was very tragic, and the power of granular gunpowder was well-known.
He saw some soldiers vomiting immediately after seeing this scene.
These soldiers are just not used to the battlefield, and they will become veterans after experiencing a few more battles.
Su Xiong walked to Su He and reported: "Commander Su, we have won a great victory and completely defeated this Ming army.
I just briefly asked the prisoners. Ming generals Zhao Qingqianhu and Dianshi Wangkong were both killed by landmines.
Except for the servants who were captured by us, almost all of them were wiped out.
Only most of the soldiers from the Inspection Department fled.
All the baggage of the Ming army was captured by us."
After Su Xiong introduced the results of the battle, he introduced the casualties with a sad face.
"We were besieging the remnants of the Ming army and were attacked by long-range fire.
Nine of our troops were killed and 22 seriously wounded."
Su He nodded and ordered: "Try your best to take care of the seriously injured, collect the bodies of the dead soldiers, and record their identities.
The enemy prisoners and lightly wounded were brought back to Sujiacun, and the seriously wounded were given a happy life.
All the bodies of those who died were cremated."
"Commander Su, will our soldiers also be cremated?" Su Xiong hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Military disasters will inevitably lead to great epidemics, and cremating corpses can greatly reduce the spread of the plague.
Act according to the order and strengthen the ideological education of the soldiers so that they understand this matter."
Suhe vigorously promoted cremation, and this order was beyond doubt.
The three major infectious diseases in ancient times, smallpox, cholera, and plague, were so terrifying that once a major epidemic broke out, everything in the house would be empty.
In ancient times, it was important to rest in peace when the ashes were buried. He would continue to strengthen publicity so that the ashes would be buried in peace.
"Okay, I'll personally explain it to the families of the fallen soldiers."
Su Xiong agreed. He remembered the surrender of the officers and soldiers and asked:
"Commander Su, you said before that if you defeat the army, if you capture prisoners, they will be screened and educated by us, and those with good character can be absorbed into the team.
Those with bad character, especially the Ming Dynasty officers who committed many evil deeds, must be directly judged.
But, you haven’t mentioned what to do with those who surrender?
Now a group of officers and soldiers surrendered to us.
They caused us more casualties, and now the soldiers are saying they will execute them."
"Nonsense, there will definitely be casualties in the war, and the mood of the soldiers is understandable.
But they can't let their tempers run wild. After the other side surrenders, they will be executed for killing our soldiers in battle.
Once such a trend is formed and all the officers and soldiers we encounter refuse to retreat, how many people will die?"
Su He immediately reprimanded him, saying that this kind of atmosphere should not be allowed to form.
The Ming Dynasty's civilian military command and logistics collapsed, resulting in more defeats and fewer victories.
The quality of ordinary soldiers, especially the nine frontier troops, is still very good.
If the rebel team wants to develop and grow, it cannot do without the transformation of prisoners of war.
"Where is that officer? I'm curious about him."
Su Xiong pointed to a carriage and said: "I don't know if I'm pretending to be sick when I'm lying on the carriage. There are no injuries on my body, but I can't get up."
Su He led the guards and walked towards the carriage pointed by Su Xiong.
This is a heavy baggage carriage. The supplies have been unloaded, leaving only a wooden board.
Lying on the wooden board was an officer in his twenties.
The armor and weapons were removed from his body, and there were two captured soldiers taking care of him.
Seeing his pale face and whether there were any wounds on his body, Su He understood that he had been injured by the mine shock wave.
The mine had a small charge and was not hit by the fragments. It was only injured by the shock wave and recovered after a few days of rest.
Zhang Yuliang saw Su He and reluctantly pushed himself up to sit up.
"You must be Commander Su Hesu, the rebel leader."
"I didn't even give my name. How could you draw my portrait so quickly?"
"No, I just observed the behavior of other soldiers.
The soldiers guarding outside had anger in their eyes when they looked at me.
That person couldn't be restrained just now, and their eyes changed when you came."
Su He looked at the Ming Dynasty officer in front of him. His observation was very keen. He was a handsome man.
"Can you introduce yourself? What are your thoughts after the surrender?"
Su He didn't test around the bush, he asked directly, he was the one taking the initiative.
Zhang Yuliang introduced his life experience to Su He in detail.
He was born into a hereditary family of 100 people in Liaoyang City, Liaodong Province. The slaves conquered Liaoyang and they escaped from the city.
They were later captured by the imperial court and sentenced to exile as border troops.
Because his father could make cannons, they were sold to Zhao Qingqianhu at a high price.
Zhang Yuliang said that his family was sold like goods. His face was filled with shame and anger.
"Commander Su, I only know how to fight. Now I have a dark history of surrendering to rebels. Even if I return to the Ming Dynasty, I will not be reused.
If Commander Su can accept me, I am willing to serve you."
When Zhang Yuliang saw the landmines and grenades, he knew that this rebel bandit was not simple.
The size of the grenade can be clearly seen, but the power of the black powder explosion is far greater than the gunpowder they usually use.
Zhang Yuliang, who is good at using firearms, knows that this means that firearms will completely dominate the war, and he can also exert his own value.
Su He went up to hold Zhang Yuliang's hand and said excitedly: "Welcome to join."
"Zhang Yuliang, I see that your soldiers are very skilled in using firearms. If you have such skills, why haven't you been reused by the Ming Dynasty?"
Su He was very confused. The Ming Dynasty was in troubled times, and talents like him should not be buried.
Zhang Yuliang smiled bitterly and said: "The imperial court is full of party disputes.
My father was from a hereditary household. At that time, Xiong Jinglue wanted to make cannons to defend the slaves, so he sent my father and others to Guangzhou to learn how to make cannons from the Hongmao Fans.
I also went with him and learned how to use firearms from Hong Mao Fan.
Xiong Junlue lost Liaodong and was executed because of party disputes.
As long as the Donglin Party is in power, people directly related to Xiong Jinglue like me will not be used.
Our family was sentenced to exile, which was also related to the party struggle.
So many people escaped from the city, but nothing happened."
After hearing this, Su He understood that Zhang Yuliang was on the losing side of the party struggle.
No matter how talented he is, he will never be reused by the court.
Xiong Jingluo's understanding of Suhe, Xiong Tingbi's strategy of Liaodong in Ming Dynasty.
If the Ming Dynasty had re-employed Xiong Tingbi, even the Jian slaves would not be able to conquer Liaodong.
