It is Xingtai's duty to screen prisoners, but he is still afraid that once this matter is started, it will be endless. According to incomplete statistics this time, after the war, the Ningxiang Army captured more than 10,000 Qing soldiers. Coupled with the capture in the last battle, there are twenty or thirty thousand.

There are so many enemies that can't be killed, so they can only be screened one by one.

The captives of the Han military banner don't have to worry, after all, they are Han Chinese. These people can be used by me after a period of indoctrination. Moreover, according to Marquis Sun's idea, these Han troops are unusable, in this case, it is better to send them to the Qin army for Gao Jie to control.

Xingping Bo Gaojie is a murderous person, and only his thunderous methods can suppress this group of ruffians in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty.

He doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Han army, but the problem is that the Jianzhou army is in trouble.

These captives are all the main forces of the Eight Banners, the elite of the old battle.

For so many years, in addition to suffering big losses under the Ningxiang Army, on the battlefield, whether it is against the Mongols, the Chuang Army, or the Ming Army, they are almost devastating and invincible. After the accumulation of victories one after another, they have developed their arrogant temperament, and they feel that our Jianzhou army and Jianzhou talents are the world's first-class powerhouses. All living beings in the world are only worthy of being our minions.

It would be easier said than done to recover these people, even if they were so badly defeated this time.

Moreover, screening the prisoners of Jianzhou is also a cumbersome and big project. You first have to figure out their names and what positions they hold in the Jianzhou Army. Secondly, you have to gather them to study and brainwash.

In this way, if you want to do this errand well, you can't do it in a year and a half

。

By that time, the Northern Expedition would have already been completed.

Yes, the officers of the Military Adjustment Office are civilian, and to put it bluntly, it is an institution similar to the Lifan Yuan: screening prisoners, recruiting foreign races, liaising with various military towns in Jiangbei, and coordinating military-civilian relations.

The Military Adjustment Office has been very much valued by Hou Ye recently, otherwise with his and Zhou Zhongying's ranks, they would not be qualified to participate in today's high-level military meeting. Because of this, the Military Coordination Office has a lot of power.

However, Xingtaizhi is not here, as a Jianzhou person, it is instinctive to be eager to fight and establish meritorious service on the battlefield. Moreover, because he is a native of Jianzhou, in fact, everyone in the military town is estranged from him, intentionally or unintentionally, and there is a vague taste of treating him as an outsider. If [Marshmallow] wants to completely integrate into this group, he can only cut off the heads of Jianzhou people more on the battlefield, so as to prove his loyalty to Hou Ye and prove that he has completely broken off with Jianzhou.

Staying in the rear to deal with the problem of prisoners, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will not be able to catch up, this is the last chance for me to gain the approval of the Ningxiang Military Group!

Xingtai's thoughts Sun Yuan didn't know, he smiled faintly: "Xingtai, no matter where you do things, isn't it also for my Ningxiang Army, but if you make merits, my Yangzhou Town will not forget you." ”

Seeing that Hou Ye meant to let himself stay, Xingtai was anxious: "But...... Hou Ye ......"

Sun Yuan waved his hand, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Xingtai, you must have heard the shouts of the soldiers of the whole army, everyone wants to go on the Northern Expedition, but it is not so easy to really want the Northern Expedition, and, according to a certain person, I am afraid that there will be no way to go to Beijing this autumn." ”

"How?" Everyone else fell silent and looked at Sun Yuan suspiciously. It's the height of summer, and it's just over a month before the cool autumn season. Autumn is the season of using troops, and such a hot day has been fought, and there is no reason not to take advantage of the great victory of the Battle of Yangzhou to go north to Yanyun.

Immediately, Wen Jianjian said: "Master Hou, now that the Eight Banners of Jiannu are all lost here, Shandong Zhunta was dragged by Liu Chun in Huai'an, and his little people are not worth mentioning." If the troops are sent north now, the northern provinces can be passed on to the decided. As for Beijing, does Jiannu still have troops to defend? ”

"Yes, it doesn't make sense not to fight Beijing at this time." Everyone screamed.

"Silence, silence!" Chen Tieshan shouted: "What kind of system is it that there is such a noise in front of the Hou Ye? ”

When he shouted, everyone's hearts sank and they became honest again

。

Fu Shan said slowly at this time: "This year's battle has been fought, and we will talk about recovering Beijing next year." Those of you who lead troops, you only know how to shout and fight, but you don't know that the so-called war is not just about bringing a unit out to kill, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive! In this battle of Yangzhou, we basically didn't have any seizures, according to what Guan Tao just said, it was a loss-making deal. In this battle, our Yangzhou town dispatched 20,000 main army forces, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 navy and 100 warships. The total number of auxiliaries and civilian men exceeds 200,000, and it can be said that all the manpower that can be mobilized in the entire Yangzhou town has been used cleanly. ”

"There are so many men and horses to eat and drink, especially the cost of cavalry, which is a big one. To tell the truth, our town's savings in the past few years have been drained by this battle. Everything has to wait until the autumn harvest...... No, our territory is too small, and the autumn tax collected is simply not enough to support the Northern Expedition. We can only rely on sea trade, hoping to raise enough military funds through the North Korean and Japanese routes during the Spring Festival. ”

Fu Shan said eloquently: "You are shouting about this year's Northern Expedition, do you want to be hungry?" ”

An officer said: "Master Hou, Mr. Qingzhu, we can eat with the army!" ”

"Jokes, bastards!" Fu Shan shouted: "Hundreds of thousands of horses, you want to eat with the army, is it possible?" We are the Ningxiang Army, not Li Chuang, are we still robbing the people? Also, the north has been plagued by disasters every year, wars every year, and has been completely destroyed, and after crossing the Huai River, it is thousands of miles of uninhabited, not to mention replenishing grain, and you can't even find a root grass, so you can go there? ”

"Also, our Northern Expedition, in fact, we won't fight much, and the main figure is Xuanfu. Gathering the hearts of the people, building a yamen, and setting up officials to manage the place, it is necessary to scatter a lot of disaster relief money and food. ”

Hearing Fu Shan's reprimand, the officer's face was red, and he said, "I'm just going to say it." ”

Everyone burst out laughing, and after laughing, they were also a little depressed, and they couldn't strike while the iron was hot to recover the north, which was really annoying.

A family, a clan, a group, and finally a country, there is really no money to do everything!

Fu Shan finally said to Xingtai: "Xingtai, you just have to do your own errands, and you don't have to think about anything else." ”

Xingtai: "Yes, the last general knows. ”

Sun Yuan: "Fortunately, it will be sunny and rainy for a while in the past two days, and the weather is not too hot, otherwise, the plague in the old camp of Jiannu will be epidemic, Lord Qing, what are you going to do about epidemic prevention?" ”

Fu Shan said: "Chief Soldier, the matter of epidemic prevention is nothing more than three points: first, isolate patients; second, bury the corpse deeply; Third, thorough disinfection

。 ”

He pointed his fingers and said: "The more than 10,000 Qing prisoners captured by our army this time first took off all their clothes, shaved off their hair, and burned them. Then take a bath, change clothes, and take a decoction. A prisoner camp was set up for a unit of 1,000 people, and they were held strictly for a month, and if there was not a single sick person, they were sent to Yangzhou Town. ”

"Lime kilns everywhere are working overnight to make quicklime. From tomorrow, we will mobilize the displaced people and the people who have suffered from the military disaster to bury the corpses of Jiannu and disinfect them with lime all over the enemy's old camp. As for the mobilized people, they were given a certain ration every day in lieu of work. ”

Sun Yuan: "There is another case that is very important, most of the dead in Jiannu were due to the plague, and it is said that they should be cremated. However, this matter is not to mention the trouble, and the second is that it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so it can only be buried deeply. The problem is that Yangzhou is a water town, and I am afraid that the corpses will decompose and pollute the groundwater, and the people will be infected with diseases after eating the well water. ”

Fu Shan: "The chief officer is extremely worried, I have already thought about this matter, and I have already prescribed a prescription, and someone has sent a large number of medicinal materials from behind, ready to put them in the well water. It's just that there are too many wells within a radius of 100 miles, and the medicinal materials are not enough. ”

Sun Yuan: "Yes, but it's troublesome. ”

At this time, the donkey suddenly shouted: "Master Hou, this matter is easy, I have a way to ensure that the medicinal materials are enough." ”

Sun Yuan: "What good ideas can you have as a donkey?" ”

The donkey was not convinced: "Hou Ye is too underestimated, according to the following, in fact, after the military disaster in this radius of a hundred miles, a large number of people fled, and there was not much population left, and there was no need for so many wells." I just sent someone out to fill in the extra well...... No, no, no, you don't need to be so troublesome, so you send troops to guard it and don't let people drink it. In each village, there is only one well with medicine left for everyone to eat. In this case, isn't the medicine enough? ”

Fu Shan: "Hey, you donkey can't see some resourcefulness, this is a good idea!" ”

"It's a wonderful way, so let's do it." Sun Yuan nodded, and lifted his spirits: "Okay, everyone's mood should not be so low, after all, we have fought a big victory, you wait for such a look, so that people who don't understand see it, and think that we have suffered a big loss." By the way, continue to discuss the merits of each battalion, what was the result of this battle, and where were Duoduo, Han Dai, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming? ”
