Lin Weiye was shocked: "Still chasing? Today's fight is so fierce, the first regiment's losses are not light, do you want to rest and recuperate? ”

"Chase, must chase. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Xia Nan's expression was firm, "Being able to make the invincible Tartars take the initiative to give up their baggage and retreat, it means that they have been beaten by us, and their morale is completely lost, and it will be easy to fight next time." We can't let them slow down this and take advantage of his illness to kill him. ”

Sima De also came up and said: "The general is right, the Tartars are demoralized, and the whole army is tired, but we still have two regiments that have not fought much, and it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue." We have made a lot of efforts to come here from Qiongzhou Mansion, and it is not easy to come here, but it is not something that can be satisfied with a few Tartar heads, if only we could win the head of Abatai. ”

Xia Nan said: "That's right, it is advisable to chase after the poor with the remainder, and not to become a famous overlord." The population of the Tartars is not large, and there are only a handful of experienced generals like Abatai, and if you can completely annihilate this army with the blue flag, kill or capture Abatai, not to mention cutting off a finger of Huang Taiji, at least it will stab him hard. He stretched out his hand to the north, "The reactionaries must not be given a chance to breathe, they must be annihilated quickly, the order must be given, the battlefield must be cleaned, and then the whole army will board the ship and go all the way north!" None of the others knew the meaning of the reactionary in this last sentence, only Lin Weiye showed a knowing smile, and as for the heroic poem, only the two of them could understand the source.

Wei Lianheng and Huang Han cleaned up the battlefield, collected the wounded soldiers, received the booty discarded by the Houjin army and the captured civilians, and then came to Xia Nan to ask for instructions on what to do with the corpses and booty of the enemy and us.

Xia Nanxian affirmed Huang Hansheng's merits: "Hansheng performed very heroically today, commanded well, blocked the Tartar army of 10,000 or 20,000 with a regiment, killed countless enemies, and should be remembered for the first credit today!" ”

Huang Hansheng couldn't hide his excitement and saluted: "General Xie praises, this is what his subordinates should do." ”

"As for the corpse...... Xia Nan thought for a while, "The soldiers who died in our army are unrealistic to travel thousands of miles back to Lingao, according to the badge to record the number and name, the corpse will be cremated on the spot, and then put it in an urn and take it away, mark the name, and after returning to Lingao, it will be buried in a unified manner." I will build a martyr's cemetery to house these martyrs, and engrave a monument to commemorate them, and their families will also pay a monthly pension -- even if the soldiers of the Qiong Navy die, they are better than the officers and soldiers. ”

Everyone said: "The general is benevolent, and the soldiers will definitely thank the general." ”

"You're welcome to the corpse of the Tartar. If it weren't for the fear of causing a plague, I would have thrown them into the wilderness and fed them to jackals and wild dogs. Xia Nan said, "Find some young and strong people, loosen their bonds, and let them dig pits and bury the tartars." Presumably, they have suffered a lot at the hands of the Tartars, and maybe they still have blood debts, so they should be very hard to bury the enemy with their own hands, right? ”

Wei Lianheng asked: "Then what to do with these people, should they let each go home or ......?"

Xia Nan smiled slyly: "We have to make up for the battle damage, how can we let go of the ready-made strong men sent to the door?" Send two companies to send these people back to Dengzhou first, and let my father-in-law include them in the military first, and then come to receive them after our class teacher. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. The general is really black-bellied, so many people, or locals, say that if they are included in the military registration, they will be included in the military registration, and it can be said that they are not ruthless.

Wei Lianheng was born in the Wei Institute, and he knew the hatred and rejection of the shackles of military registration by the low-level military households, so he hesitated: "General, these people are all locals, and they are not like the hungry people we recruited before, and they are ruined and homeless, so it is a little inappropriate to rashly include them in the military registration and become military households?" ”

Xia Nan snorted: "Do you think that Tartars are all good men and women?" After arresting so many young people, the people in their village must have been killed, maybe even the village will be burned, and it will be homeless. We dragged them to serve as soldiers so that they would find a way to live, so that they would not starve to death. Besides, we go north to fight the Tartars, and I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth, what if we don't turn them into military households and run out? When they come back, they will be turned into battalion soldiers, and they will be paid the same as our soldiers. ”

The military household of the Ming Dynasty is hereditary, without permission can not leave the nationality, nor can you do business or engage in other occupations, the design was originally to reserve the national military resources, to the end of the Ming Dynasty has become a tight spell to imprison the military household, the military household has become a farmer called Huazi, the guard is also decayed, there is no combat effectiveness at all, completely lost the original meaning. Xia Nan temporarily turned these people into military households, so that they could be guarded in the name of the government and forbidden to escape.

After hearing such an arrangement, Wei Lianheng felt that it was a safe way, so he no longer dissuaded him.

Huang Hansheng thought of another angle: "Is it too little to escort these people?" Roughly speaking, these people are 10,000 people smaller, and most of them are young and strong......"

Xia Nan waved his hand: "It's simple, when the tartar is buried, then tie it with a rope, and connect it in a long line like now, a soldier with a loaded gun, guarding one hundred and eighty people is no problem." Whoever dares to make a moth, or wants to escape, will be killed on the spot in the name of the Tartar! ”

Huang Hansheng shrank his head, in this way, no one would joke with their lives, and it seemed feasible to escort nearly 20,000 people in a row.

The arrangements were made, Wei Lianheng and Huang Hansheng were preparing to go down to command the cremation of their own people and bury the Tartars, Sima De spoke: "Wait, general, it's a pity that the corpses of the Tartars are all buried, it is better to cut off the heads and send them to the capital to receive merit." ”

Xia Nan was a little puzzled, "I didn't kill these Tartars for Chongzhen...... Besides, I was named an earl, and I was rewarded with a first-class order, and it was still hot, so Chongzhen couldn't give me any reward in such a short time, right? ”

Sima De persuaded: "General Mingjian, it is precisely because it is not for the emperor to kill the Tartars that he wants these credits. The head was sent to the capital, and it didn't matter whether the emperor gave a reward or not, or what reward he gave, the important thing was that the general's exploits were announced to the world through the hands of the imperial court, so that everyone in the world knew that the general dared to fight the Tartars head-on, and could kill thousands of real Tartars. In this way, the general's reputation for being good at fighting and his reputation for resisting the Tartars will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people......"

Xia Nan was tempted, this is a good thing, through the channels of the imperial court, show that he can fight well, and at the same time establish a positive image of his courage to fight against the Tartars, if he is more brazen, buy some literati to sing praises and virtues, a hero who turns the tide and supports the building will come out, this is to buy people's hearts for the future to win the world.

Without much hesitation, he agreed to Sima De's proposal. "Mr. Sima has a point, so let's do it, cut down the heads of the Tartars, save them, and send them to the capital."
