Chapter 106: The Strategy of the Three Lights

"Tartar men, women, and children are tied with ropes, like mules and horses."

Many literati who accompanied the army recorded like this, and then they often sighed a few words, saying that they had never seen such a miserable person in life and death. However www.biquge.info after these literati returned to Guannei, there were often one or two young Jurchen women around them, and there were many special products such as fur and old ginseng, and they were even more good at management, and there were Zhuangzi outside the side wall, so there were few written records of this.

The property and population escorted back to the side wall by the head army of the Li family were all sold, and such seizures must be sold at a price far below the market price, and there is nothing to lose or lose, as long as there is nothing that is not profitable, this population only eats and does not need to be paid, as long as it is to raise a group of boys to watch it.

Liao Town is lacking in others, there is no shortage of young people who like to dance with guns and sticks, these people are difficult to do farm work, it is still possible to do a nursing home, not to mention that it is outside the border wall, Liao Town still has a large amount of land that has not been cultivated, what is lacking is manpower, and one more person will earn one more point.

As for the fields outside the side wall, it is not a town general, not a big man, it is not a skill to operate, and this ordinary person does not expect to go out independently.

But there are also people who advocate that everyone partner, or a strong leader, everyone invests money and invests people, and makes a fortune outside the side wall, and the fields outside the side wall may not be able to see silver for a while, but in the long run, how can it not be rich, you say to be careful, in case the Tartars come back again, the Tartars are about to be killed and caught, how to fight back, I haven't heard of any Laoshzi merchant group in Guannai and Datong, who have come over with silver.

Fields, goods, and population, a steady stream of sales, Beizhili, especially in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, has already been a lot of merchants with silver rushed over, a large number of local and foreign businessmen are in Shenyang City and Fushun waiting for the arrival of the next wave of booty.

The brother who said benevolence, righteousness and morality in the handsome tent had taken the lead, since it takes time to transport the spoils of war back and forth, it is better for us to come and buy them ourselves.

From Fushun Pass to Hetuala, there are horse infantry soldiers of the Ming army stationed, the villages along the way are washed, there is no danger on the road, take the silver to come, buy directly from the army, the army has less trouble with transportation and escort, the price must be much cheaper, if you bring some goods that the army needs, sell back and forth, it is more profitable, and then you can look at the fields and roads along the way, if you buy an industry here, you can also plan as soon as possible.

With accurate vision, he can be ahead of others, and it is difficult to make a fortune without thinking about it, this official who is full of benevolence and morality has made a fortune, but it has impressed the army.

There are such people who have started, and the latecomers have followed, and the businessmen have made a fortune in order to make money, and no one will be afraid that the muddy roads are hard, and there are guards to and fro, and there is no need to worry about safety.

According to the meaning of the Li family, it is safer to send the loot to Liaozhen to the territory of Liaozhen, and the price can be higher, but the people of Jizhen, Datong, Xuanfu and even Huweijun are willing to sell on the spot, everyone understands the small abacus of Liaozhen, this thing is too oily and watery, whoever handles it can catch more, why bother to let the Liaozhen family swallow it, and besides, now the Ma Lin and Sun Shoulian in Liaozhen are gradually becoming forces, and they don't want the Li family to eat too much.

Wang Tong acquiesced to this, to be honest, he was also impressed by the "benevolence, righteousness and morality", what he said was beautiful, but he was very organized, and he could not underestimate the sour and rotten literati, and the more people who followed the army to buy booty, the greater the benefits for future reclamation, so that these fearful merchants could see the fertility of the white mountains and black waters, and see how many benefits there were, and encourage those who were bold to let them carry their own swords and guns to loot and burn.

Although the army was on the way, the news in the north and Liaozhen was still unimpeded, and when Wang Tong's army left the customs, the armed forces of the naturalized merchant group began to gather troops and horses and began to march towards Duolun.

The foundation of the Chahar Department is in the north of Duolun, they have a firm foothold in Duolun, and there is no way to confront the wolf-like merchant groups, and fighting Duolun is different from fighting other places, the cavalry around the city of Guihua is full of energy, and even the Ningxia side is interested.

Because Duolun is the most abundant place of water and grass on the grassland, and the Naturalization City is also a good place, but the merchant group and the farms have been filled with good places everywhere, and there are too many vassal tribes, but Duolun is different, this is a good pasture and a good hunting ground by nature, and the Dingbei Marquis and the merchant group have made a wish, and the pasture must be set aside here for the meritorious man, such a water meadow, who doesn't want a piece, who doesn't want to take more.

Although it is also known that the naturalized merchant group wants to establish a walled farm here, as long as they can designate pastures, they can obtain supplies in the nearby walled farms, and sell livestock to the nearest trading houses, which is a better situation.

The size of the ranch and the location depend on how each family fights, and the city leaders say that nothing else is possible, but they are used to fighting desperately.

The good men on the grassland now know that as long as they dare to work hard, they don't have to worry about prosperity and wealth, and the business group never treats people badly.

Most of the forces of the Horqin Department were transferred to the north and east of Liao Town, and a few battles in Liao Town greatly damaged their vitality, and at the same time, they had to be careful and guarded, and they couldn't take care of Duolun's side for a while.

The escort team of the merchant group's armed carts and firearms has not yet been dispatched, and it is closely relying on the fierce pursuit of the city's side, and the Horqin tribe is almost unable to hold Duolun, and the small tribes of the vassals have betrayed one after another.

Wang Tong never looks at the military merit books now, the reason is very simple, now all the soldiers and horses are reporting their merits every day, how many Tartars are captured today, and how many are captured tomorrow.

The reason for such a record is that the people of Hetuala fled one after another, and after Nurhachi left with his soldiers and horses and relatives, the Jurchen nobles of Hetuara also sent people to Wang Tong's side to ask for surrender, who would have thought that Wang Tong's side would not accept it at all, but drove people back.

It is clear that he also sent envoys before, saying that he is willing to fight or surrender, but now he is thinking about fighting, in this situation, the people of Hetuara have fled, it is a small city, how can it withstand the attack of this nearly 100,000 army.

The military exploits reported by the various military reports are the records of these interceptors and escapees, the people on the edge of the camp are extremely prosperous, and the Liaozhen infantry and Jizhen infantry can help escort the slaves back to Liaozhen for a small fee, and the merchants who come to buy and sell are very enthusiastic, and the capture of a prisoner is a piece of silver, who is not happy to arrest people.

Scattered into small teams, the Jurchen soldiers and horses who harassed the Ming army in the mountains and countryside all disappeared, and even the Jurchens went to the Ming army to take the initiative to report the location of the Jianzhou squad, there were no villages to provide them with support, no villages to provide them with temporary stationing, the Jianzhou Jurchen squads that carried out guerrilla harassment tactics gradually lost the soil for survival, and the cavalry of the Ming army also increased the scope and frequency of patrols.

Many Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses hiding in the mountains were forced to go down the mountain in search of food, and then they were discovered by the patrolling Ming army horse team and all of them were exterminated.

At the end of March, the army approached Hetuala, but almost half of the Jianzhou area was washed and cleared, and all the villages were destroyed.

Hetuara now has less than 6,000 people in the city, resistance is a joke, and Wang Tong did not agree to their surrender, and if he wanted to run out, he was captured by the Ming army as a slave.

In the end, hundreds of desperate Jurchen soldiers under the city of Hetuara charged the army, and the gates of the city remained closed, as if they were waiting for death.

"Marshal, the four hundred defenders under the city have all been annihilated."

The look of the person who came to report this was a little strange, this number was indeed not worth mentioning in front of Wang Tong, Wang Tong also shook his head and smiled.

"Datong Ma Yong, Xuanfu Li Sanshi, you lead all the soldiers and horses into the city, Zu Chengxun led a thousand cavalry to assist, from this time to the sun set, you don't care what you do in the city, after the sun sets, I want to set fire to the city, if you don't come out, you will be in the city with the Tartars!"

After hearing this, the following cadres looked at each other, all of them looked excited, Wang Tong's words were tantamount to indulging them to act recklessly in the city and live happily for a day.

After each of them agreed, they led the troops out and set up, and the rest of the armies were in a state of alert, while the cavalry of the Huwei Army crossed Hetuara and continued to search and explore the way in the northeast direction, but the state of the whole army was equivalent to camping and stationing.

After the cannon blasted open the city gates, several border soldiers poured into the city of Hetuala, and in a short time the city began to boil, and you could faintly hear laughter and shouting, and you could also hear crying.

"Dashuai, if you are so indulgent to these people, I am afraid that you will not be able to restrain yourself in the future and cause trouble!"

The others didn't speak, but Cai Nan found an opportunity to advise and say, after all, once the military discipline is relaxed, even if the Huwei army is strictly restrained, but watching the friendly army so indulgent will also affect morale.

Although Hetuara is the capital of the Jurchens of Jianzhou, the Eastern Expedition army obviously does not end here, and it will continue to march, if you indulge the soldiers like this now, there will definitely be trouble next.

Wang Tong waved his hand to let the guards all retreat, fleshed their foreheads, and said to Cai Nan with a smile:

"These border soldiers, do you expect them to go to war and harm the common people, this is what they are good at, so it's okay, let the Tartars see our style of agitating dogs, kill all those who dare to resist, burn all the walled cities that dare to resist, and make them afraid."

When it was dark, the cavalry in the city began to withdraw, and everyone was stained with blood, but there was an excited and tired look on their faces, and the next thing was to set fire
