Chapter 218: Great Victory "That's fine."
After Zhu Bayi thought about it for a while, he nodded quickly, "Once Zhang Shicheng and the others are sent away, I will immediately send someone to take you across the Yellow River.
But you have to remember not to harm the people when you get there.
Otherwise, even if Zhu wants to give you a hand, and other red scarves will not let you go."
"I finally obey your orders."
Wang Xuan was overjoyed and quickly bowed down to accept the order.
Ever since he heard about Zhang Jiusi and Wang Kerou, he had been planning to get a piece of land for himself.
Now that he finally got his wish, how could he not be overjoyed?
As for not harming the people, even without Zhu Bayi He was told that he would also pay attention to military discipline.
There is no other reason.
It is clearly stated in the Gaoyou Declaration.
Anyone who harms the common people can be freed to annex his tribe and territory.
And if he had not harmed the people, if other red scarf princes wanted to annex him, it would be a slap in the face of the person who presided over the alliance.
Zhu Tuhu, Sesame Li and others would definitely not stand idly by.
Zhu Bayi didn't know that Wang Xuan had already seen through the stakes.
Seeing that this man agreed happily, he couldn't help but smiled and warned: "Since you are from a prominent local family, you should know that if the land rent When the income is high, the tenants would rather leave their homes than return to their hometowns.
Your family rents farmland.
In fact, the same principle applies to local governance.
If you treat the people too harshly, it is equivalent to forcing them to flee.
It is better to collect less taxes and accumulate some popularity.
If you have more people, you will naturally have more food and gifts.
Various miscellaneous harvests will also rise with the tide.”
"The lesson learned by the general manager is that the general will definitely keep these words in mind and always act accordingly.
In the past few years, the general followed behind Huan Huan Bu Hua to help the tyrants, and he once discovered that all those people who rose up in rebellion Almost all of them are due to excessive exploitation by the government."
Wang Xuan quickly bowed again and promised firmly.
"Well, as long as you understand."
Zhu Bayi glanced at him and nodded approvingly.
He, Zhu Gongde, is determined to support him.
Not only does he support Sun Bofu, but he also needs to support two more Wang Xuande.
Maybe there will be Zhang Mengde and Li Mengde in the future.
But doing this is better than letting these good men die in their own hands.
It would be better for them to be forced into desperation and have to seek refuge with the Mongolian and Yuan court again.
Note 1 "Many generals in our Huai'an army are from the north of the Yellow River.
If General Wang goes there, please take care of him."
Lu Zeng was thinking about something else entirely.
He found an opportunity and whispered.
He had always disapproved of Zhu Bayi's approach of raising tigers to create trouble.
However, in front of the big guys, he had to maintain the authority of his grandson-in-law, so he could only use some small means to nip it in the bud.
After hearing this, Wang Xuan nodded hurriedly and swore that he would take good care of the brothers' families and would never let anyone have any worries.
Otherwise, Lu Changshi could bring troops across the river to question the crime at any time.
"As long as you understand," Lu Zeng also glanced at him and said in a completely different tone.
If the oath worked, the Great Yuan Dynasty would not be at war.
However, on the occasion of a great victory, there is no need to say more words that are embarrassing, and they will not have any effect.
Therefore, the old master just knocked around casually and turned to look at other situations on the battlefield.
At this moment, the work of exterminating the defeated troops on the battlefield has basically come to an end.

Large numbers of Mongolian and Yuan soldiers were escorted by the Red Turban Army, which numbered less than one-tenth of their number.
They walked in groups towards the temporarily opened prisoner settlement point on the edge of the canal.
There were no less than 20,000 people gathered there, and it looked like a huge area of darkness.
One after another, some were caught from further places, walking towards the edge of the canal one step at a time.
However, apart from looking rather miserable, most of these prisoners did not have much fear on their faces.
Everyone knows that the person in charge of the Southern Expedition this time is Butcher Zhu.
Butcher Zhu always kept those who were soldiers if they wanted to, and released them with travel expenses if they didn't want to.
Things like trapping, killing and torturing prisoners will never be done.
If you're lucky, you might be able to get a few good meals and some travel expenses, which is even more cost-effective than when you were a soldier.
Even the captive Mongolian soldiers did not look very depressed after being caught.
Butcher Zhu was not easy to kill.
Regardless of whether he was a Han or a Mongolian, a soldier or an official, if he was caught, as long as he did not arouse public outrage, he would at most be fined a sum of money to redeem his life.
The Yangzhou area was relatively prosperous and rarely experienced turmoil.
The Mongolian soldiers were usually too lazy to leave the city, so naturally they had no time to do anything to arouse public anger.
The only one who looked more frightened was the captured Tanma Red Army.
As a nomadic people conquered by the Jurchens and Mongols, the Khitan people no longer have their homeland.
Fighting as a soldier is almost the only way out for these people.
Even if they were released by Zhu Bayi on the spot without collecting any ransom, they would not know where they should go or what else they could do and continue to receive food and wages from the court.
If they went against the Huai'an army, they would be sprayed with hundreds of pills.
The projectile artillery was engraved in their memories like a nightmare.
Therefore, each of them is like a walking zombie, with empty eyes and a lost soul.
"Don't worry, you will die from hunger."
Many of the Huai'an Army auxiliary soldiers who were responsible for guarding the prisoners were former prisoners.
Seeing the appearance of the Tanma Red Army soldiers, I immediately guessed their general thoughts.
For the sake of the overall peace of the prisoner camp, he took the initiative to come forward and comforted in a low voice, "Look, brother, I was captured by the Huai'an Army on the edge of the Yellow River.
I am still alive and well.
Don't worry, our manager Zhu He has a bodhisattva heart and will never deny people a way to live."
"I only know how to fight."
The person being comforted was a member of the Red Army, who raised his head and looked at the other person, and responded angrily.
"Then join the Huai'an Army.
Look at my figure.
As long as I stay in the auxiliary barracks for two or three months, I'm afraid I won't be able to become a soldier.
Even if I can't become a soldier, I can still be an official if I stay in the auxiliary barracks and get military pay."
No less than a soldier, and the superiors won’t take any advantage.”
"I don't want to fight anymore, I'm tired."
Tanma Red Army Baihu sighed, still listless.
It was not that they had never been defeated before, but this was the first time in their lives that they had lost a battle like this.
This made each of them feel a deep sense of frustration, feeling that they could no longer go to the battlefield.
Even if he got in, he couldn't adapt to the weapons and tactics of the Huai'an Army, so he simply gave up on himself.
"Then become instructors."
The leader of the auxiliary troops glanced at the bandy legs of the Khitan centurion and continued to console him loudly, "Those who can ride horses should become equestrian instructors, those who can shoot can become spearmanship instructors, and those who can shoot can teach new soldiers how to shoot. .
As long as you are really capable, you will never be delayed.
There are many teachers in our auxiliary barracks.
The officer is a Mongolian.
People don't care who you work with.

If you really don't like living in a military camp, you can go to the government's primary school and be a physical education teacher, teaching a group of children how to dance with a stick every day.
It’s not much lower than being a soldier, and you don’t have to tuck your head into your belt all day long.”
"Real Khitan people can also be teachers."
Not only the centurion, but also the eyes of the surrounding Khitan people lit up, and they asked with some expectation.
After all, being disarmed and returning home is an unrealistic dream.
They don't know how to farm, and their hometown far beyond the Great Wall has long become a strange memory.
But teaching a group of children to wield swords, sticks, bows and ride horses is not a very complicated matter.
The children of the Khitan people also need to be taught by their parents from an early age in order to become qualified soldiers.
In terms of talent and qualifications, they are no different from other children.
"Really, it's not just the Khitans.
In the primary school, there are a lot of Semu who teach arithmetic and Mongolians who teach wrestling."
The leader of the auxiliary army nodded and responded very proudly, "It's just a little bit.
It turns out that the quartering method is no longer important.
The Han people killed by the Mongols will still pay for their lives, and the same will be true for the Han people who killed the Mongols."
"That's right, that's right."
All the Khitan men nodded.
In the four-class ethnic classification system of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, they were always treated as Han people.
Their status is only higher than that of the Han people in the south, and far inferior to that of the Mongols and Semu.
Therefore, there is no resistance at all to the elimination of grade differences in the Huai'an Army.
Deep down, there was even a little bit of approval.
"To tell you the truth, the manager of our family is the reincarnation of the Buddha."
The little leader of the auxiliary army finally eliminated the hidden danger as he wished. , have you heard that in the eyes of Buddha, all people are equal?
There is no difference between Han people, Khitan people, Mongolian people, and Semu people.
They all have the same nose and two eyes.
You guys, rest assured here, I’ll go somewhere else.
It’s a good idea.
Man, we can't delay his old man's affairs."
As he spoke, he left behind a few Khitans who were at ease and turned around and walked towards the other prisoners.
As he walked, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't worry, sit down, sit down, and relax.
Who of you has heard of Mr.
Zhu who kills innocent people indiscriminately?
If you haven't, don't be afraid.
If you haven't, don't be afraid. .
I was defeated and captured just like you.
Look at me now."
"Grand Governor" "Grand Governor" His words were quickly drowned out by the cheers of a landslide and tsunami.
Zhu Bayi, Mao Gui and others came over, and the Huai'an soldiers who had won the battle happily gathered around and expressed their most sincere admiration to the heroes in their hearts in the way they knew.
The 30,000 auxiliary troops on your side do not count against the 120,000 on the other side, and you can win the battle if you have one on the other side.
Governor Zhu led everyone and once again created a miracle.
With such a hero behind you, why should you worry that your future will not be bright?
