"General, the Tartars in Zhenjiang City have been cleaned up by us, including a Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, more than a dozen Tartar generals, and nearly three hundred Tartar soldiers.

In addition to the more than 170 Tartars who died in the battle, the rest of the more than 100 Tartars and more than 1,000 traitor soldiers were all imprisoned by us in the prison. ”

After Li Zixiao came to Zhenjiang, Luo Chao reported to him the specific situation in Zhenjiang.

"Well, how many Tartars are there in the city, besides those Tartar soldiers." Li Zixiao asked.

Li Zixiao knew that after Huang Taiji captured the entire Guanwai, he sent a lot of Tartar soldiers to guard the cities, and by the way, he brought many Tartars to live in the cities.

After these Tatars entered the city, they all enjoyed privileges, and their status was higher than that of ordinary people in the city.

Even, these Tartars would build an inner city to expel the surrounding aboriginal people for these Tartars to live in.

In the eyes of these Tatars, the Han people throughout the whole process are their minions, and these Tatars will not be punished for killing or committing crimes on weekdays.

However, when Luo Chao captured Zhenjiang, according to Li Zixiao's order, he was the first to liquidate the Tartar soldiers in the city and these Tartar people.

At this time, after Luo Chao heard Li Zixiao's words, he replied in a deep voice: "General Qiyu, in Zhenjiang City, there are a total of 438 Tartar households, a total of 1,338 people.

Of these, more than 900 were women, the rest were men, and only 36 were adult men, most of whom were disabled.

The remaining 300 or so men, children and old people over 50 years old, are now all under our control. ”

"Hmph, there are so many people, there are only about thirty adult men, and there are enough strange left." Dong Zhuang, who was on the side, said.

"yes, I didn't expect that." Luo Chao said with emotion.

Li Zixiao smiled slightly and said, "There's nothing surprising, all the adult Tartars have gone to war as soldiers."

There are only five or six hundred thousand people in the whole Tartar clan, and all the men have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they must join the army when they become adults, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Tartar army.

The Tartars lack population, after all, they have seized such a vast land outside the pass, and no one produces for them, and it is also in vain, otherwise the Tartars often enter the pass to rob the population! ”

"The general is right, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have attacked Mongolia and Korea, and it was just to pull the two younger brothers.

At the same time, at this time, the Mongolian Eight Banners Army under the Tartars, as well as the so-called Eight Banners of the Han Army, added up to several times the number of the Tartar Army. ”

Luo Chao nodded approvingly and added.

"General, what to do with those Tartar prisoners and traitor army prisoners?" Luo Chao asked Li Zixiao for instructions.

"Business as usual." Li Zixiao spit out two words indifferently.

"Yes, my subordinates know." When Luo Chao heard Li Zixiao say this, of course he knew what to do.

"In the future, you don't need to ask me for instructions on such things, you lords will be able to decide and carry out it for yourself."

Li Zixiao added again.

"My subordinates understand, what should I do with those Tartars in the city?"

Luo Chao nodded in response, and then asked Li Zixiao again for instructions.

After all, these Tartars are not like those Tartar soldiers, they are not soldiers, and there are old and weak women and children among them.

But they did have the identity of the Tartars, which made Luo Chao himself not know what to do, after all, their White Dragon Army had never captured so many Tartars alive before.

The White Dragon Army has never had a precedent for how to deal with these Tartar people, so Luo Chao can only ask Li Zixiao.

After listening to Luo Chao's inquiry, he was also silent for a moment, and then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Zixiao's eyes, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.

At this time, Li Zixiao looked at Luo Chao, Zhao Zilong, Lu Yuan and other generals next to him, and said solemnly: "I will only say this order you heard next.

You have to remember that if you encounter a similar situation in the future, no one will ask me for instructions again. ”

When everyone saw Li Zixiao's expression, they all froze, knowing that what Li Zixiao was going to say must be an important instruction, and they all showed solemn expressions and listened carefully.

"First, all the men who are imprisoned who are taller than the wheels will be scorned!"

Saying that, Li Zixiao made a cross-cutting action in his hand, which means that he couldn't be more clear, and suddenly made Luo Chao and the others widen their eyes.

The height of the wheel can reach the height of the wheel, about exactly when the child is seven or eight years old, and the older child can basically remember things.

In this way, everyone basically understands Li Zixiao's order.

Li Zixiao continued: "These children should be sent to Tamna Road to establish an orphanage, and these children can be raised as ordinary orphans.

As for the women, they were all sent to Tamna Island and used as slaves. ”

After listening to Li Zixiao's words, everyone understood Li Zixiao's ultimate intention, in short, to get rid of all the threats and leave no trouble.

As for the Tartar women, there is no need to worry at all, this era is still an era of male power after all, and Li Zixiao will not slaughter women and children.

There are also those Tartar children, maybe in more than ten years, they will grow up to be loyal to Li Zixiao.

"You understand?"

"Yes. The subordinates understood. Hearing Li Zixiao's inquiry, everyone responded in unison.

"Okay." Li Zixiao nodded.

In this way, Li Zixiao's treatment of the captured Tartar people, from this moment on, has officially become a rule in the White Dragon Army that is not written on the surface.

"Zilong, did the scouts sent out find any traces of the Tartars?"

At this time, Li Zixiao turned his face to look at Zhao Zilong and asked him.

Li Zixiao learned from Luo Chao that there was a Tartar cavalry of nearly 4,000 people, which appeared outside Zhenjiang City two days ago, and even attacked Jiulian Xinbao.

But in the end, this Tartar cavalry hit the head and broke the blood flow under the new fort of the Ninth Company, and finally took the initiative to retreat.

And after Li Zixiao arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, he asked Zhao Zilong to send scouts to go out to find the traces of this Tartar cavalry.

After Zhao Zilong heard Li Zixiao's inquiry, he also bowed down and said, "General Qiqi, two of the three waves of scouts we sent out have already returned.

It's just that they still haven't found any trace of the enemy's cavalry, the general, do you want your subordinates to take the troops out in person. ”

"It's okay, you take the scouts out to continue the search, and once you find the traces of this Tartar cavalry, report it immediately." Li Zixiao looked at Zhao Zilong and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my subordinates will receive orders, and I will go down to arrange for leaving the city." Zhao Zilong responded excitedly.

Two days later, Zhao Zilong, who went out of the city to look for the Tartar cavalry of Ilgen Jue Luo Doro, returned to Zhenjiang Fort, but still did not find any trace of this Tartar cavalry.

"Ilgen Jue Luo Doro, this old thief, is very cunning!" After Li Zixiao learned the news, he said with a gloomy face.

You must know that according to the previous information, Li Zixiao knew that Ilgen Jueluo Doro had a cavalry of nearly 4,000 in his hands, which was a very strong force.

At this time, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro saw that the White Dragon Army was strong, so he did not take the initiative to fight, but hid in the shadows.

It's like a poisonous snake, maybe it will come out at any time and bite the White Dragon Army.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zilong failed to find this Tartar cavalry, and with the men and horses led by Zhou Dazhu crossed the Yalu River, and then a large army, rushed from Phi Dao to Zhenjiang.

As a result, at this time, Li Zixiao gathered more than 26,000 people in Zhenjiang.

For the Tartar vacuum, which they were in at this time, this was a force that could subvert the rule of the Tartars.

At this time, Li Zixiao knew that the time was ripe and it was time to take the next step, since Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo did not come out, then Li Zixiao forced him out.

"It's time to send an order to the commanders of each battalion, and immediately send the commander's account, and the whole army will enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time."

With Li Zixiao's order, the whole army of the White Dragon Army entered a state of combat readiness, and at the same time, the battalion commanders went to his tent to hold a combat meeting.

"The general has issued an order for combat readiness, and it looks like a war is coming, and this time I must make meritorious service, at least a third-level combat merit.

After the war, when I get a reward, I can send my tiger to the best private school in our county.

If one day, my family Hu'er can be admitted to the general's literary hall, and my old Liu family can be regarded as an ancestor with green smoke. ”

With the sound of the White Dragon Army's combat preparation drums, many soldiers rushed out of the camp one after another, and a White Dragon Army commander said to his fellow villagers next to him.

"Haha, that's right, old Liutou, if your Hu'er is really admitted to the Wentang, I will agree to marry my eldest girl to your Hu'er.

It's a pity that the little cub in my family didn't know how to read since he was a child, and pestered me every day to teach him martial arts.

But it's okay, my little cub is quite able to endure hardships, he is out of play in Kawentang, let him take the martial arts hall in the future, maybe my Tang family can also produce a general! ”

The other captain of the White Dragon Army on the side also said with a smile.

More than 20,000 soldiers of the White Dragon Army and the City Defense Army began their pre-war mobilization with the White Dragon Army's combat readiness order.

And because of the rich reward system for military merits in the White Dragon Army, these soldiers of the White Dragon Army and the City Defense Army are eager to make contributions on the battlefield, so as to change the fate of themselves and their families.

At this time, in Li Zixiao's tent, with the arrival of Luo Chao, Zhou Dazhu and other generals of the White Dragon Army, Li Zixiao directly began to issue combat orders.

"Now I order, Luo Chao leads the main force of the Flying Eagle Battalion, plus three battalions of 5,000 city defense troops, with a team of artillery, to attack Tang Station, which is the first route army.

Your combat mission is to march in the northwest direction, attack the soup station, and then take Phoenix for me.

Since Ilgen thinks that this old thief is hiding and refuses to come out, then you will give me his lair and see if he can hide.

Luo Chao, take the order. Li Zixiao picked up an arrow and said to Luo Chao.

"The subordinate takes the order." Luo Chao stepped forward, took the arrow, and shouted loudly.

"The Second Route Army, led by the pioneer battalion, plus three battalions of 5,000 city defense soldiers, accompanied by a team of artillery, led by Zhou Dazhu, went north to attack the dangerous mountain fort and Changdian.

Zhou Dazhu, ordered. Li Zixiao picked up another arrow and ordered Zhou Dazhu.

"The subordinate takes the order."

"Third Route Army ......" Speaking of this, Li Zixiao deliberately paused, and then looked at Zhao Zilong.

Then, he continued: "The Third Route Army is somewhat special, with Zhao Zilong commanding the two battalions of 'Hound Dog' and 'Hyena' to attack Xuancheng in the west.

This will only give you a team of artillery, and will not give you other horses, Zhao Zilong, do you dare to take orders? ”

"Why don't you dare, your subordinates take orders."

Zhao Zilong couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, strode out, and took the order.

At this time, Li Zixiao turned his head, looked at the two people next to him, Shuiichiro Yoshino and Yokokawa Fujino, and said in a cold voice: "Next, both of you must obey General Zhao Zilong's orders.

His words are my words, and at the same time, according to the old rules, you bring back the head of the Tartar that you have slain, and exchange a real Tartar head for ten taels of silver. ”

"Hey! Yoshino obeys his master's orders. Shuiichiro Yoshino immediately bent down in response.

"Hey, Fujino also obeys the master's orders." Fujino Yokokawa also followed closely and responded.

At this time, after the last time, Li Zixiao asked Shuiichiro Yoshino and Yokokawa Fujino to return to Japan to recruit people.

At this time, Shuichiro Yoshino had more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers under his command, and Fujino Yokokawa also had nearly 1,500 Japanese soldiers under his command.

Most of these Japanese soldiers were ronins and wandering samurai recruited from Japan, and these people were not very loyal to Li Zixiao.

Most of them are here for money, and Li Zixiao doesn't care about this, and the combat effectiveness of these Japanese soldiers is really strong, and it is worth it for Li Zixiao to throw some silver.

Don't look at these Japanese soldiers, they are not tall, but they are extremely fierce in battle, and they are not afraid of death, and they may not be as elite as the White Dragon Army.

But it is definitely much stronger than the guards of the Ming Dynasty at this time, otherwise it would not have allowed the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty to run rampant at this time, but the imperial court was unable to clear it.

You must know that at this time, Japan was less than 50 years after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death

The period when Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan can be regarded as the most powerful era in Japan.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to rely on a small island country and mobilize the strength of the country to raise more than 200,000 troops to attack Korea.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, a total of 100,000 troops were sent to help Korea, and it took seven years to completely smash Japan's attempt to occupy Korea.

In this battle, the strong combat power of the Japanese soldiers has to be said to have been fully reflected.

If it weren't for the Ming army's reliance on the superiority of firearms and equipment, as well as its control of sea power, to cut off Japan's grain routes, this battle is estimated to have lasted longer.

At the same time, this time Li Zixiao did not equip Zhao Zilong with many white dragon soldiers and horses, but let him lead these two Japanese military camps alone, isn't it a test for him!

Zhao Zilong obviously knows this, this is a challenge and an opportunity, he readily accepts it, he has confidence in himself.
