He Qiu worked for a hundred households under Jiang Xuan, but he was actually an ordinary military household. Chongzhen not only allowed him to speak in the tent, but even explained his doubts in a sincere and sincere manner. Such an approachable attitude made everyone feel like spring breeze.
"Then the third thing is that no matter which side the surrendered soldiers go to, they are consuming the food and grass on the opposite side. Isn't it another result of the battle? I am short of food and grass, and the other side is not much better."
Chongzhen considered the matter of prisoners of war very carefully. He focused on the policies of preferential treatment of prisoners of war in later generations. If these scheming methods are properly implemented, they can disintegrate the enemy's war spirit. This is consistent with the military strategist's idea of attacking the heart first and forcing the surrounding people to do so.
In such an environment, it is no longer easy to surrender without killing, and it is too early to talk about preferential treatment.
He persuaded everyone with his words and set the tone for the matter. As for the follow-up arrangements, Chongzhen had already drafted them, so he skipped them for now.
When you win, you will naturally be celebrated and rewarded.
Chongzhen Jinguo said that all those present, those with a household of less than 100 were directly promoted to the position of trial 100 households and served as sentry officers in the camp; those with households above 100 and those with 1000 households were directly promoted to the post of 1000 households, with general duties, and so on.
He was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of Datong, Wang Jinchao, to the rank of Commander-in-Chief, Qianshi, to the second rank.
Jiang Xuan was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital and was promoted to the third rank.
He promoted the commander-in-chief of the camp who did not close the camp at night, and promoted the officials of thousands of households to command the general affairs, and was promoted to the fifth rank.
In the Tang Dynasty, Tong was not rewarded for his merits and demerits, so he took back his former acknowledgment of his fate, changed his position to the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong, and retained his official position and reduced his rank to see the effect.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Wang Cheng'en took the lead in bowing down, and the others all bowed together to thank the Emperor for his kindness.
"After you return, there is no need to be stingy. Promote more outstanding sergeants. Just prepare a list and submit it to me. I will agree to it. In addition, there is no need to dismantle the existing military stronghold here. You can make your own arrangements and be stationed here to rest and recuperate later. I will
We will send people to bring food and wine to reward the whole army."
"promise!"
"Remember to go back to the city early tomorrow morning to discuss matters. Let's all go down." Long live the Lord waved his hand, and the generals obeyed the order and left. As the excitement of victory gradually subsided, Chongzhen pressed his right chin with his hand and just leaned on the chair to fight.
Take a nap.
After leaving the camp, Jiang Xuan was extremely anxious. He had not seen Jiang Gu since he returned to the camp. He thought he had someone else to do, but it turned out that His Majesty had not mentioned a word to his brother just now.
"Uncle Wang." Jiang Xuan caught up with Wang Jinchao and called him uncle.
Of course Wang Jinchao knew what he was coming for. He walked so fast without even trying to escape. Oh, really. Wang Jinchao turned around, looked at Jiang Xuan and said, "What's wrong?"
"Where's my brother?"
Wang Jinchao first shut up and looked at Jiang Xuan speechless for a long time. Finally, he sighed and told in detail the whole story of Jiang Xuan's rebellion. He secretly advised Jiang Xuan not to think nonsense. He was worried that Jiang Xuan was young and energetic, so
He and His Majesty had a mutual grudge, but Jiang Xuan's response was beyond his expectation.
"Repetitive villains deserve what they deserve." After hearing this, Jiang Xuan said eight words coldly.
"Well, your brother is still in prison. Do you want to see him?" Wang Jinchao asked, if he only wanted to see him once, he could help.
"In this case, I'll trouble Uncle Wang." Jiang Xuan clasped his fists and saluted, which was regarded as acknowledgment.
"You come with me to the city. You have to talk to the prince first about this matter."
.......
The two rode back to the city, where the peasants were carrying corpses outside the city. There was a strong smell of burning in the air. After asking all the way, they found Wang Chengen in a courtyard. He was preparing to leave.
People clean the house.
Wang Chengen first asked about Chongzhen's situation, and then he felt relieved when he learned that everything was fine. He patted his chest subconsciously. Before the two of them could ask questions, Wang Chengen glanced at Jiang Xuan and said to Wang Jinchao: "I'm here to see someone, right?
?”
"That's right. Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Jinchao was extremely respectful.
"No need to worry, Long Live Lord said before, if General Jiang wants to see you, you can't stop him." While speaking, Wang Chengen saw Wang Jinchao trying to take something out of his arms, so he slapped his hand away and said, "Stop, I'm not happy now.
This set, come with me."
Wang Jinchao stupidly took back the filial piety money that he had prepared, but he never expected that the prince was actually a man with two sleeves.
Following Wang Chengen's footsteps, he walked through the hall and walked to the backyard. He raised his feet and pushed aside the wooden boards covering the ground, revealing a cellar.
"You also know that this prisoner has entered the city. I am worried that the thieves will kill him, so I have to put him here."
"It should, it should."
Jiang Xuan slowly walked into the cellar without saying a word. Wang Jinchao followed him in while complimenting him, but was grabbed by Wang Chengen. The father-in-law's half-smiling look seemed to say, "You don't have to do it." Wang Jinchao nodded knowingly and said:
"Understand."
Since Jiang Quan was imprisoned, except for the physical pain he suffered in the first few days, he has not been subjected to much abuse since then. He is provided with two meager meals a day, and his wife is in the corner, so there is a stench of urine and feces.
The lighting inside was not good. Jiang Xiang heard footsteps but couldn't see the person coming. He said feebly: "Kill me, kill me."
"If you really want to die, I will send you on your way."
This voice was extremely familiar, and a bright light suddenly appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes. He stretched out his hand and touched it, and said hurriedly: "But my brother is here, but my brother Ah Xuan!"
The darkness covered all the emotions. As soon as my brother Ah Xuan came out, the visitor fell into a long silence. Jiang Juan groped for a hard object in the darkness, which seemed to be an armor plate, and tried to hug it. It was his leg.
"Ah Xuan, please save me. I don't want to be imprisoned anymore. Who loved you the most when you were a child? Have you forgotten?" Jiang Xuan tried to pull away his left leg, but finally caught the "life-saving straw", Jiang Yu said.
Nothing will loosen.
"You are back, you must have done something good, right? Go and beg Your Majesty, beg him." This was a cry.
The person below him kept asking for help, and Jiang Xuan finally spoke.
"Brother, since you are greedy for life and afraid of death, why do you always do such treacherous things?"
"Where does this treachery come from? Brother, don't you understand that my destiny is determined by my fate? Ask yourself, does the family named Zhu care about the life and death of everyone in the world?"
"Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are the things my father taught me before he died."
"Oh, you are so foolish and loyal! If your brother had lived on that little salary, would he have been able to wait until today? He would have been dead long ago." The conversation box opened, and Jiang Yan's crying voice disappeared, and his words were full of reality and dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty has given you a chance, and I have given you a chance. I don't understand, why are you still like this?"
Jiang Yan grabbed the page and said angrily: "Are you fucking stupid? Can't you see that Zhu is trying to seize my military power? Why should I, Jiang Xiang, still be slaughtered?"
"Okay, I'll get you out."
"Really? Hurry, go quickly, don't keep me waiting any longer."
"Shua..." "Shua..." The gentle friction sound stretched into a long line, and Jiang Xuan shed hot tears.
........
When Jiang Xuan slowly walked out of the cellar, the blood stains on his shoes told everything. Wang Chengen stepped back to get out of the way. Jiang Xuan leaned over and bowed deeply to the two of them before leaving.
"This is..." Wang Jinchao pointed to the cellar, and the two looked at each other knowingly.
