Chapter 159: Like a Wolf Like a Tiger
Mao Weizhang's standard battalion totaled more than 3,500 people, of which in addition to the 100 Jinyi guards brought by Bi Denghan, the remaining more than 3,400 were either elite veterans from Dongjiang Town, or from Liaodong Han people who were exiled to North Korea.

These Liaodong refugees who were exiled to Korea from Tieling, Kaiyuan, Quang Ninh, Shenyang, Liaoyang, as well as Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou on the Liaodong Peninsula were all strong men who survived hardships and wars. They have long been accustomed to burning, killing, and looting, and when they were in exile in North Korea, they did not harm North Korea.
Under the harsh training of Chen Jisheng, Mao Youde and others, especially the 400 Dongjiang Town veterans and 100 Jinyi Guard captains, they are now all like wolves and tigers. Looking at the Jeju county town in front of him, everyone was gearing up and excited.
Chen Jisheng keenly felt the restlessness hidden in the hearts of the soldiers under his command, and said to Mao Weizhang: "My lord, I will go overseas with this newly recruited 3,000 standard battalion, and now we can only rely on these soldiers in front of us. However, after all, this group of soldiers has only been recruited for two months, and they have not yet fully returned to their hearts. Adults and I, if we want to completely subdue the hearts of this generation, there is a rare opportunity in front of us. ”
Looking at Mao Weizhang, who was still hesitating, Chen Jisheng continued: "My lord, now I can't wait for more than 3,000 people, and the population of the island is more than ten times that of me, if I don't make a decision, I'm afraid it won't be my blessing!" Please make a decision early! ”
Mao Weizhang naturally realized this, he was a civil official from a scholar, and he had this adventure by chance, of course, he also wanted to really subdue the military heart of the standard camp, and from then on, he was like a finger and established a greater career.
Looking at the crying sound coming from the city in front of him, Mao Weizhang of course knew what Mao Youde's department was doing, and he pondered for a moment, and finally said: "What Ding Fu said is reasonable!" As the so-called non-own race, their hearts will be different! Now we are alone overseas, and we should be cautious in everything! In order to prevent the soldiers and people of the county town from being unfavorable to our army, after the army entered the city, except for the county government treasury, all the treasures of the county were sealed, and the other people and wealth were killed if they could be killed, and they were taken if they were desirable. If there is resistance, all will be killed! ”
Chen Jisheng was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the army to enter the city, and what Mao Weizhang said to Chen Jisheng naturally spread to all the soldiers at an unprecedented speed, and this time it was really a morale surge instantly.
Chen Jisheng simply assigned the area in the city, and more than 1,500 soldiers under his command rushed into the city.
At this moment, the Jeju county town in front of me really quickly turned into a real hell.
It's not that Mao Wei is ruthless, but the Chinese scholars and doctors of this era all have a concept that if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different, and they generally regard the alien races around China as Yidi beasts, and they do not regard them as equal people with the descendants of China.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, most of the Han ruling class in the land of China think so, such as Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, Beidi and other names, which contain the meaning of non-my race.
Although the Joseon Li dynasty calls itself Little China, and has always been loyal and clear since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it has been changed to Hou Jin Jianyu last year, and now since it is in an enemy country, what else is there to say.
And just like that, another nearly day passed. In the afternoon, seeing the sunset, Mao Weizhang asked Bi Denghan, who had already returned to his side, to send people into the city to order the knife to be collected, and began to restore order in the city.
Fortunately, Chen Jisheng had a lot of eyes when he led the army into the city, and announced a military order, that is, only killing, not arson, otherwise, today's Yingzhou City may be a scorched earth.
The residents of the city are already weak, and they have not encountered a war for many years, and they naturally have no chance of being spared when they encounter the wolf-like soldiers of the standard battalion of the Dongjiang Town Supervisor.
These Liaodong refugees, who have witnessed countless human tragedies in Liaodong, have long been as hard as iron and have never been soft when they kill people.
Almost all of the nearly 20,000 people in the city mentioned by Lin Chuanfu and Lin Chuanbao were killed, and only a few hundred threatless old and weak women and children survived.
Now these people are under the command of Chen Ji's subordinates, along with the two or three hundred captured pirates in Yingzhouao, cleaning up the corpses in the city.
In the end, it took two full days to clean up the current Yingzhou City with all the soldiers working together, and then it was suitable for the army to settle in.
On the third day after Mao Weizhang and the Chinese army entered Yingzhou City, Chen Jisheng and Mao Youde set out from Yingzhou City with their respective units to conquer the scattered villages on the island.
With the old example in the original Jeju City, the soldiers of each department were naturally quite enthusiastic, Chen Jisheng temporarily divided the entire standard battalion of the supervision army into 500 people as a way, except for Bi Denghan's 500 Chinese troops who stayed in Yingzhou City, the rest were divided into six roads, each carrying two Fran machine guns, and the whole island was divided into six directions, led by Lin Chuanfu, Lin Chuanbao, Luo Achou and others, respectively, to go to various parts of the island to arrest young and strong, and exterminate the disobedient.
By late May, there was no longer a single Tamna and Korean village on the vast island of Yingzhou. The original 40,000 or 50,000 indigenous residents on Yingzhou Island were either killed or annexed, and none of them were spared.
By the end of May, the soldiers of the various road sign battalions distributed in six places on the island gathered outside the port of Seogwipo and surrounded the port of Seogwipo from the east, west and north.
Chen Shrimp Boy, known as Chen Xiasheng, has been a pirate since he was a child, and he believes in the strong of the jungle, so he has always been who defects to whom and who is attached to whom.
Since learning that these people who are now occupying Jeju Island are the officials and soldiers of Donggang Town in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xizai immediately dispelled the idea of fighting in court.
Of course, the general Ming official army Chen Xiazai is not afraid, but Dongjiang Town, it is different, in his understanding, those people under the command of Dongjiang Mao Dashuai are said to be Ming officials, but they are simply the ancestors of a group of pirates, which are much more ruthless than the big and small pirates around Jeju Island. After all, no matter how strong these pirates are, they can't be stronger than Dongjiang Mao Dashuai.
So after recognizing the situation, Chen Xiazai decisively chose to surrender and attach, and was taken by Chen Jisheng to today's Yingzhou City to meet Mao Weizhang.
And Mao Weizhang was also very simple, seeing that Chen Shrimp was sincerely attached, he incorporated the pirates under Chen Shrimp into the standard battalion of the prison army, and continued to garrison Seogwipo as the front battalion alone, and first appointed Chen Shrimp Boy, that is, Chen Xiasheng, as the Seogwipo coastal defense guerrilla, and at the same time took Chen Shrimp Boy's younger brother Chen Qiuzai under his account as the general manager of the Chinese army.
Considering the performance of the Lin Chuanfu brothers and their pirate gang in the process of occupying Yingzhou Island, Mao Weizhang also appointed Lin Chuanfu as the rear battalion commander of the standard battalion, and led the two or three hundred pirates of Yingzhouao, cooperating with Mao Youde's department, guarding and managing the indigenous young captives captured by various crusading forces, supervising these quarrying, rebuilding Yingzhou City, and the port and wharf of Yingzhouao.
In this way, after more than a month of conquest, the former Jeju Island has become the Yingju Island of the Ming Dynasty. The will of Emperor Chongzhen conveyed by Gao Shiming to Mao Weizhang was finally successfully completed.
