Chapter 218: Outside Xuzhou City

Xuzhou is a battleground for soldiers, but today's Xuzhou City has long been replaced with a big red Ming flag, and the green flag of the Qing army in the former green camp has long been gone. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info the gate of the city, the auxiliaries and the people in the uniforms stood at the door, and the auxiliaries and the people also stood on the city tower, these auxiliaries and the people who had been incorporated into the Ming army wore the Qing army's uniforms, and wore the Qing army hat on their heads, but the red tassels on the hat were removed. These auxiliaries and Minzhuang are all the green battalion Qing army that has just been anyway.

The main force of the Qing army led by Dadu was completely annihilated in the decisive battle between the two Huai, and the Huai'an area was relieved of the threat of hanging lakes on the ground, and the canal channel was reopened.

The Ming army opened the canal, and the main army went north along the canal. When the Ming army arrived in Xuzhou, this important city that should have been a battleground for soldiers was actually captured by the Ming army without blood, and the Qing court prefect, staff and officials in the city who defended the city opened the door and surrendered with the green camp Qing army and Minzhuang.

Wang Yu's soldiers took Xuzhou without blood, and the Qing court officials who surrendered to Cheng retained their original ranks, but Wang Yu did not appoint these personnel as they did other warlords, but transferred the surrendered Xuzhou prefect and staff to other places, among which the Xuzhou prefect was transferred to Quzhou as the prefect, and the Xuzhou staff general was transferred to Anqing as a general. As for the other surrendered officials, they were also arranged separately, and the petty officials and small officials from the local people were not easy to transfer for the time being, so they were placed on the spot in the locality, but after they were incorporated into the system of the Ming Dynasty, they would be assessed and rearranged in the future, and those who could not pass the assessment would be brushed down.

As for whether the people who are brushed down will be dissatisfied, or even rebel, it doesn't matter, you don't have the ability, or you are corrupt and bribery and don't do good things, and you deserve to be brushed down. Want to rebel and make trouble? Do you really treat the army as air?

As for the Qing soldiers and low-ranking officers anyway, they were re-screened, and some unqualified ones were cut out of the army, and they were given a sum of money to go home; The qualified Qing soldiers remained, and after being dispersed, they were distributed to the various units. However, most of the remaining Qing soldiers are not qualified to become soldiers, so they can only start with auxiliary soldiers and people.

The Cao Gang, a powerful gang that once controlled the canal, had millions of young people, and had the energy to call the wind and rain on both sides of the canal, has now disappeared.

The Cao Gang was mainly shipwrights and dock workers, and there was no formal Cao Gang in that era, and the real Green Gang was established during the Yongzheng period. But the underworld has been an organization in China for thousands of years, and the Song Dynasty had a splash. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the group of people who survived on the canal also had their own gangs, and their means of livelihood were the boats that came and went to the canal. Behind these gangs are the merchants on the canal, and in the background are the yamen at all levels, as well as the soldiers on the canal.

With the defeat of the Qing army all the way, the Cao soldiers were incorporated into the soldiers, and as a result, the whole army was annihilated, the dead and wounded, the captured and captured, and the lost and separated, the once powerful Cao Yun Green Battalion has been wiped out, and most of the more than 100,000 Cao soldiers are now in the Ming army prisoner of war camp, waiting for their fate, either being incorporated into the railway soldiers, or being sent to various places as farmers.

The merchants on the canal have long been finished, since the Ming army captured Huguang and Nanjing, and the transportation was completely interrupted, the Qing court, which unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, sent Wang Xi to kill these merchants in the name of cleaning up the corrupt officials.

Merchants who had lost power and were useless to the imperial court were simply powerless to resist the butcher's knives of the Qing army, and these merchants were beheaded one after another, and their families were sent into slavery. There were also a large number of Qing court officials who were unlucky, because of the interruption of Cao Yun, these officials were useless to the Qing court, and they were also slaughtered as fat pigs.

After the soldiers, the officials, and the merchants, the boatmen and dock workers were scattered. The Qing court, which had almost lost all of its sailors, incorporated most of the boatmen and dock workers into the navy division, and as a result, the navy division was completely wiped out, and now those boatmen and dock workers have either escaped and gone to various lakes to become water bandits, or have been imprisoned in prisoner of war camps. There were also some shipwrights and dock workers, who had already been incorporated into the Green Camp and went to Korea when the Qing court was preparing to enter Korea. However, their fate was not much better, as the Qing court dispatched troops stationed in Korea back to Guannai, as a result, these newly incorporated Qing troops into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were also annihilated in the Battle of Lianghuai and the Battle of Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition respectively, some of them were killed, and the rest were captured.

Coupled with the threat of the hanging lake on the ground a while ago, the once prosperous banks of the canal are now sparsely populated, and the women, children, old and weak who were not conscripted by the Qing court to serve as soldiers have also left their hometowns under the arrangement of the Heaven and Earth Society to avoid the possible burst of Hongze Lake.

When the mighty Ming army fleet passed through the canal, it could be seen that the houses on both sides of the river were already ten rooms and nine empty, and there was no trace of cooking smoke in the middle of noon, and the farmland was barren and turned into a weedy field.

Wang Yu stood on the bow of the steam river gunboat, looking at the desolate scene on both sides of the canal, and sighed in his heart: years of war and chaos have brought profound disasters to the people. Although it is said that in this time and space in the original history, it was a short period of peace after the collapse of the Kuidong Thirteen Families and before the rise of the Three Feudatories, there was no war, and the common people rarely starved to death due to the introduction of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, and the population began to grow rapidly. But because Wang Xinyu traveled to this era and became Wang Yu, history was changed and the war was prolonged. However, Wang Yu believed that this war was very necessary, although it brought disaster to the common people, but after more than 200 years of continuous rule of the Qing court, it brought disaster to the future of China! The Chinese became slaves, and the Opium War, the Anglo-French Alliance, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Eight-Power Alliance, the Chinese people gradually became proud of China and gradually became a foreigner, and the civilization of China lagged far behind the white skin.

In the 21st century, the white skin controls the largest amount of territory in the world, and more than one billion people in China have been suppressed by the white skin even if they want to return their normal sea power, and in terms of living space, the yellow race has been suppressed in the space of the world.

Why didn't the white skin suppress the, but the yellow race? Because Whiteskin is well aware that are not IQ enough to pose a threat to them, and East Asians are the smartest people in the world.

For the sake of the living space of the descendants of China in the future, it is worth it for the people of today to pay a certain sacrifice.

Outside Xuzhou, it has become a huge refugee camp, which is crowded with women, children, old and weak who have moved from both sides of the canal. Most of their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers are now in the Ming prisoner of war camps, and some have been killed. These people were originally the families of canal boatmen and dock workers.

Seeing Nanwang's convoy approaching Xuzhou, the people in the refugee camp knelt on the ground and shouted Chitose.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, get up!" Wang Yu made a gesture.

The refugees got up, and a gray-haired old lady stood up on crutches and stepped forward with the help of her granddaughter. The vigilant soldiers immediately stopped the grandfather and grandson.
