Chapter 141: The Evidence Is Conclusive
The "Red Banner Army" successfully captured two towns and cities, and seized a lot of materials and 20,000 or 30,000 stone of grain, which were all trophies that the Later Jin Army looted and prepared to bring back to Liaodong.
On the two occasions, no knights of the "Red Banner Army" were killed, more than 20 people were wounded, no serious wounded, and dozens of people died in the chaotic battles in the nursing homes and righteous people, which was entirely due to their lack of armor protection.
In the two battles, he killed three of the Jiannu white-armored soldiers plus one member of Bashikuba Yala, killed thirty-five armored men, attacked and killed one member of the Tartar centurion, fifty-six Tartar soldiers, and more than 100 bannermen and clothed slaves were beheaded together.
The Mongol Tatars found that they were running really fast, and the "Red Banner Army" was moving fast enough, but they still ran about ten horsemen and failed to completely annihilate them.
No wonder the grassland people have plagued the Han people for thousands of years, and the Han people have fought snakes and not died many times, and the reason is that the Han people can completely beat them, but they really can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Getting a small 200 is enough to repay the merit once, Zheng Guochang Lezizi wrote a good news and sent the family to gallop with the men and horses to gallop to the Beijing Division, and the rest of the Ming soldiers and horses have not seen any movement, so he can get 200 small at his fingertips, of course, especially showing his face.
Liang Tingdong was also very happy to see his friend's good news, Zheng Guochang was able to lead the troops to recover Yongping Mansion, but he tried his best to recommend it, and of course he had a bright face with credit.
The Son of Heaven was naturally happy to see the good news, and just a few days ago he got the good news of Zunhua, although he didn't get much, but Liu Zhilun and Huang Han and others were willing to take the risk to save thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty who were about to be plagued by Dongnu, and Liu Zhilun actually beheaded a member of Jiannu's white armor soldiers.
Liu Zhilun was promoted by the emperor from a small Shu Jishi to be entrusted with important tasks, he not only made repeated military exploits but also shot Jiannu Bayala with his own hands, the young Chongzhen was very proud in his heart, and felt that he knew how to make good use of people, and he was naturally a generation of Ming Jun.
This time, Zheng Guochang took the lead in making meritorious contributions, and it was the "Red Flag Army" that he gave favor to take the lead, Chongzhen felt even more face-saving, and deepened his impression of the Huang family's father and son.
After the emperor's dictation must be given to the first meritorious minister, after the military department and the cabinet were collegial, Huang Yizhou got the false knowledge of the commander of the left guard from the three products of Dongsheng, and actually gave Luanzhou to garrison, and finally entered the ranks of generals.
The Ministry of War approved the Luanzhou garrison battalion with a number of 1,360 troops, which is still three cavalry and seven infantry, which is exactly the same as the standard and treatment of Huang Han's Yongping garrison battalion.
This time, it was clarified that the location of the Huangyi Prefecture garrison camp was Kaiping Town, which had just been recovered.
This was entirely the result of Huang Han's schemes, and in the Ming Dynasty, Hazelnut Town was much richer and more prosperous than the chaotic Kaiping Town, and Huang Han took these two towns and arrested many squires who had voluntarily surrendered to the Jin army.
After a surprise interrogation, Huang Han found that the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the late Ming Dynasty were really not fighting alone, most of them had the power of the clan, and there were people in the court.
The captured squire knew that the fact that Jin surrendered was that the lice on the bald man's head were clearly displayed, and there was no need to torture to extract a confession when he was interrogated, and these soft bones were completely explained like beans poured from a bamboo tube.
After Huang Han got their signed confessions, he began to deliberately release the water.
So, the traitor's family began to find a way to rescue the family owner, and of course the silver was spent like running water. Soon they found out that there was a civilian official in the "Red Banner Army" who was an acquaintance and a native of the country, and everyone went to him for help without exception.
Gao Youmou has been busy with his affairs as the head of the army, and the workload of interrogating more than 100 squires and landlords is so great that as long as they can write quickly in the "Red Banner Army" have been transferred to participate.
Huang Kezao, Liu Zaiqi and other people who had read books for a few years before, because of the passable calligraphy, had to transcribe a large number of confessions recorded in pencils every day, and even Tian Xiang and Red Sleeves and a few handmaidens who wrote well with the brush came to help.
Gao Youmou and Zheng Xiaowen, the two serious talents, are of course even busier.
After being busy for three or four days, Gao Youmou breathed a sigh of relief, but the next thing that gave him even more headaches came to the door, that is, more than a dozen Luanzhou wang clans begged him for accommodation, and they wanted to get out the criminals with conclusive evidence from the hands of the "Red Flag Army".
Gao Youmou was one of the chief officials involved in the interrogation, and he wrote more than a dozen confessions from these big family squires.
How did he not know that the "Red Banner Army" had slashed these people with one sword, and then raided their homes.
But seeing that many township parties begged for accommodation with snot and tears, and expressed their willingness to spend money to eliminate disasters and beg for their own good words, Gao Zhimou could only reluctantly go to Huang Han to explore his words.
Seeing Gu Zuo's high scheming Huang Han, of course, he knew it, he pretended to sigh and said: "I can't imagine that Jiannu and Tartar have entered the pass, and there are so many scholars and scholars who have been raised by the imperial court and have forgotten their ancestors and surrendered those beasts, I really hate to kill them all and raid their homes." ”
Gao Youmou, who was embarrassed, listened to Huang Han's words, and his eyes lit up, as if this young and vigorous general was not ready to kill those people.
He got up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Huang, the lowly position is a native of Luanzhou, the Gao family also has industries in Kaiping Town and Hazelnut Town, and has some dealings with these big families. ”
Huang Han said: "Master Gao, this official also knows that these people chose to surrender because of the situation, and they were not willing, but what is integrity? Where did their sages read? ”
Gao Youmou heard the voice outside the strings, and echoed: "They really read the book into the dog's belly, of course the adults can't let them go, and they must be punished heavily." Do you think you can save their lives? ”
Huang Han said: "How can you set an example if you don't want their heads?" These people can't learn a lesson, where will there be pain, in case the next Jiannu comes back, maybe they will surrender. ”
Gao Youmou said firmly: "There is a way for them to learn from their pain, and the adults can let these people pay for forgiveness!" Naturally, they will be heartbroken when they lose a lot of money. ”
"Alas! For the sake of the face of the high master, the official can spare their lives, and whether or not to let them get rid of their crimes and go home depends on how they behave next. How about leaving this matter to you? ”
"Thank you for your trust, rest assured, you know how to do it, and it is impossible to let them go easily."
Gao Youmou negotiated amicably with the traitors with conclusive evidence in an attitude of asking for money and not dying, and finally laughed at 200,000 mu of land and 300,000 taels of snowflake silver and let go of all the local tyrants and inferior gentry.
After all, he was from a big family, and he was comfortable dealing with these clan squires.
