The White Dragon Army not only has strict military discipline, but also rewards and punishments.
Li Zixiao knows that it is difficult to last long to lead an army by relying on strict military discipline alone.
If he wanted his soldiers to be happy when they heard the battle, he had to give the soldiers a hope and expectation, so he also set a strict reward and punishment system.
Just like the white dragon sergeants of this squad now, they eliminated five rebels just now, and according to the reward standard stipulated by Li Zixiao, they can be regarded as completing a small achievement.
In each team, there is a clerk, who is responsible for the daily record of military exploits, and when a soldier's merits accumulate to a certain extent, he can be promoted or can be rewarded with money.
Strict military discipline, brutal training, and a generous reward system have created this powerful army under Li Zixiao.
The gunfire in Huai'an City gradually became smaller, and the rebels in the city were either annihilated or surrendered.
A small number of people also ran into the houses and hid, but it was only a matter of time before they were found as time went on.
By noon, all the rebellious soldiers in Huai'an City had been basically surrounded and suppressed.
More than 1,000 rebels, except for those who were killed, the remaining more than 400 were all escorted to a large flat land outside the south gate of Huai'an.
At this time, Li Zixiao stood on a mound with a calm face, and beside him stood Yao Xinyu, the prefect of Huai'an, and Han 6 Shan, the commander of Tongzhi.
This is the first time the two have seen Li Zixiao, and their first reaction when they see Li Zixiao is that he is too young.
At this time, Li Zixiao was only in his early twenties, and he sat in the position of a second-class member of the imperial court, and he was indeed a little young.
So all along, Li Zixiao continued his beard and tried to make himself look majestic.
However, Han Liushan and Yao Xinyu did not despise Li Zixiao because of his youth.
On the contrary, the two of them were a little frightened, how could it be easy to fool a person who could achieve such a status at this young age.
Since the two of them came over, Li Zixiao only said a few words to the two of them at the beginning.
After giving two orders to the two of them, he ignored the two of them and kept them hanging aside.
And Li Zixiao gave the two of them an order to send officials to beat gongs and drums in Huai'an City to inform the people in the city.
The rebellion has been quelled, and General Pingyuan has to go outside the south gate and execute the rebels in a public trial.
After hearing the news, countless people poured out of the southern city, many of them victims of the previous disaster of the rebellion.
In the afternoon, around the open space outside the south gate of Huai'an, more and more people gathered in Huai'an City, densely packed with tens of thousands of people, crowding the huge wilderness.
Soon, Li Zixiao asked without looking back: "Governor Yao, have all the people in the city arrived?" ”
Yao Xinyu wiped the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the general's words, according to your orders, at least one person from every family will come, and some even the whole family will be present." ”
"Hmm!" Li Zixiao nodded.
At this time, several white dragon soldiers, pushing and shoving more than a dozen rebels, came over.
For a chief, he walked up to Li Zixiao and reported loudly: "General Qiyu, the lowly rank and others have captured the brains that instigated the rebellion of the soldiers, please show me!" ”
"Well, well done!"
Li Zixiao said loudly: "You have made great contributions, and you will be rewarded together after returning to Xuzhou!" ”
"General Xie!"
After hearing this, the head of the White Dragon Army raised his head and gave Li Zixiao a military salute, and then led people back to the queue.
Li Zixiao had a grim face, and slowly walked in front of these people, seeing these officers who were obviously dressed more brightly than the average chaotic army.
One of them is wearing a relatively complete cotton armor, Li Zixiao guessed that this person is most likely Zhu Dagui, and there are several hundred households next to him.
Li Zixiao sneered: "You guys are really powerful? Dare to even rebel! ”
"My lord, spare your life! The villains were also forced to be helpless, so they followed Zhu Deputy Qianhu and led the brothers out to beg for food. ”
As soon as Li Zixiao's words were finished, the hundreds of households who were kneeling knelt down and kowtowed, crying, even if their hands were tied, it would not delay them kowtow.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Next to him, Zhu Dagui's mouth was blocked with a dirty cloth, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.
Of course Li Zixiao won't let this guy speak, this guy is the only one who knows the inside story, but he was instigated by Zhang Fugui to dare to come out and make a mutiny.
At this time, Li Zixiao would never let this Zhu Dagui tell this inside story on the spot, and at the same time, Li Zixiao also had a trace of dissatisfaction with Zhang Fugui in his heart.
'Damn second dog, you still need Lao Tzu to wipe your ass. ’
Li Zixiao is barely satisfied with his number one intelligence leader, on the one hand, because Zhang Fugui is loyal enough to him, which is very important.
But on the other hand, Zhang Fugui's shortcoming is that his ability is limited, after all, his background determines these, and what he did in this Huai'an mutiny was not to make Li Zixiao particularly satisfied.
In particular, he instigated Zhu Dagui to mutiny, such a big thing was not reported in advance, although he was authorized to Zhang Fugui at the beginning, but it still made Li Zixiao dissatisfied.
After all, if this matter is not well controlled, it will cause a big mess, and if there is a mistake in the middle, let Zhu Dagui leak the news.
This will be extremely unfavorable to Li Zixiao, and even if the people of Huai'an know the inside story, Li Zixiao will definitely be hostile to the people of Huai'an when he wants to enter Huai'an.
Looking at the people who were killed by those chaotic troops and all over the streets just now, you can see how much the people of Huai'an hate the officials who mutined at this time.
At this time, Li Zixiao was also sweating in his heart, Zhu Dagui had already been sentenced to death, and he didn't even have a chance to speak beforehand.
Han Liushan and Yao Xinyu next to them also wondered why Li Zixiao blocked Zhu Dagui's mouth, but both of them were weak at this time, worried that Li Zixiao would hold them accountable, so they didn't take the initiative to speak.
As soon as Li Zixiao's words fell, one of the hundred households continued to beg for mercy: "My lord, the villain was also confused for a while, and after listening to Zhu Dagui's bewitchment, he did such a foolish thing.
Moreover, we have been without money for three months, but the brothers also have wives and children to support at home, and the villains just want to make a fuss and ask Shangguan for some money.
Adult, the little one really didn't expect things to come to this point, everything is Zhu Dagui's attention, you just spare the villain this time! ”
This officer looked like a smart man, although he also knew that things were in trouble today, but they had lost their minds a little before, and they had killed so many innocent people.
But at this time, they could only put all the blame on Zhu Dagui, and they didn't see Zhu Dagui's mouth blocked.
"Hmph, I don't dare you be instructed by anyone, you have set up arson and plundered, and killed innocents indiscriminately, this is an indisputable fact, as long as you have the blood of the people on your hands, you will die today."
Li Zixiao's demeanor was cold, and his tone was more like a cold current in the Arctic, as if it could freeze people, and Li Zixiao's hand holding the handle of the knife was holding it tighter at the moment.
"I know that you all want to live, but unfortunately I can't agree.
You and your minions have committed an unpardonable sin, and in half an hour, my ruler will use your blood to pay tribute to the souls of those people who died in vain! ”
"What? You can't do that, my lord! ”
The hundreds of households and the rebellious soldiers behind them, when they heard the tone of the adult in front of them, planned to execute them all.
Including Zhu Dagui, who was gagged, hundreds of tied rebels were all in an uproar.
It wasn't until the white dragon soldiers who had been eyeing and watching them around them struck hard with the spears and birds in their hands that they were pressed down by them.
Li Zixiao's cold face did not fluctuate at all, these people he was going to kill, because only with their more than 400 heads could he calm the anger of the people in Huai'an City.
At the same time, in this way, Li Zixiao can easily win over the people of Huai'an and gain their support, and when this matter is understood, his entry into Huai'an will be a matter of course, and no one can stop him.
However, Li Zixiao's words made Han Liushan on the side a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "General, these are all captives, and it is ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, do you really want to execute them all?" ”
Li Zixiao turned his head and glanced at Han Liushan coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Lord Han, you are wrong, they are not prisoners, but rebels.
Moreover, what great sins they have committed in the city, do your eyes not see? If you don't kill them, it's not enough to make people angry. ”
"But ......"
Han Liushan still wanted to say something, but now Li Zixiao no longer paid attention to him, which made Han Liushan sigh and said in his heart: My boss is really ruthless, more than 400 people will kill him when he says he will kill him.
Yao Xinyu, the prefect of Huai'an on the side, was even more frightened, and was obviously frightened by Li Zixiao's decision.
In fact, over the years, many officers and soldiers of the guards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have mutinied, and most of them are also for salary, but the imperial court generally focuses on pensions.
Or it is to punish evil, and for most of the other soldiers who followed, they adopted a forgiving attitude, after all, they still need to be guarded everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Li Zixiao didn't plan to do this this time, he had the White Dragon Army under his command, and there was no need for these old soldiers to guard all places.
At this time, Li Zixiao walked to a mound and said loudly to the surrounding people: "Folks, I am Li Zixiao, the commander of Xuzhou, and I am also responsible for your defense here.
It was all the fault of the officer, who failed to arrive in time to arrange the defense, but I did not expect that some people would be so bold and reckless and do such an intolerable evil thing.
This official takes care of everyone, this time as long as the hands of the rebellious soldiers stained with the blood of the people, this official will never tolerate it, will not let go of one, all of them will be executed, and the dead people will be given justice. ”
As soon as Li Zixiao's words fell, he saw many people around him rushing out, but they were stopped by the thousands of 'Flying Feather Battalion' soldiers who were on guard around him.
"The general is benevolent and righteous, you must not let go of these murderers, my poor young lady, who was given by these brutes...... Woooooo ”
"Woo, my lord, avenge my parents, they also burned down my house and robbed my family of belongings......"
Those people cried and shouted, because they couldn't come, so they had to kneel down and kowtow to Li Zixiao from afar.
One by one, they cried bitterly, these are all families, and there are family members who have been killed by the rebels.
"Yes, these people deserve to die, kill well, I support this General Li."
"That's right, I also support it, fortunately my family lives in the middle of nowhere, and my family is a small family, so I didn't attract the attention of these rebels, otherwise most of them would have suffered."
"Yes, Master Liu's house next to me is the worst, dozens of people in the whole family were killed by these rebels, and a large box of silver was brought out from their house.
Those rebellious troops just fell in love with the silver of Master Liu's family, it was really a crime, Master Liu was a good person, and the things bought by the Liu family's shops have always been fair.
And every time the year is bad, the Liu family also sets up a shed to give porridge, and many neighbors around have received the favor of the Liu family, but unfortunately good people don't live long! God don't open your eyes! ”
Many of the onlookers in the back also opened their mouths to discuss, and they were all indignant, expressing their support for Li Zixiao's attempt to kill these rebels.
Here, Li Zixiao's eyes turned to the tied rebels, and continued: "I think everyone has heard of the military discipline of the Yue family army under Grandpa Yue's command back then.
Back then, Grandpa Yue said: "Freezing to death does not demolish the house, starving to death does not disturb the people", what are we waiting for to be soldiers, at the big one is to protect the family and defend the country, and to say the small one is to keep the peace of one side.
If our generation of soldiers can't do this, they will already be ashamed of the battle robes on their bodies, but if they want to harm their own compatriots and their brothers and sisters, it is simply inferior to beasts.
Look at what you have done, and you still look like a soldier. Look at the iniquity of your own hands. ”
After speaking, Li Zixiao waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers brought corpses and placed them in front of everyone.
The corpses, men and women, old and young, died in a horrible state, the men were slightly better, and the women were almost all insulted.
Looking at those naked and disproportionately dead women, as well as the frightened and resentful expressions on their faces before they died, all the people around them were angry, and the scolding became louder and louder.
Those who had relatives who had died in the turmoil wept bitterly, and many of them even recognized the bodies of their own relatives and threw themselves over and wept.
Hundreds of corpses were placed on the ground, and the effect of so many corpses placed in front of them was amazing, and the air in the wilderness seemed to condense.
Li Zixiao turned around again, faced Han Liushan and asked lightly, "Lord Han, do you still think that these rebels are prisoners?" Do you think they should be forgiven? ”
