Chapter 771: The Ming Army Has Entered the City

readx;

In this hall, there seems to be someone shouting something at the end, and those who can understand it will not let go of what it is to become a ghost...... but these words are quickly drowned out in the roar of artillery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the shells fired by the artillery were nothing more than iron balls and lead balls, the fire of dozens of cannons was enough to completely destroy this palace.

After the second round of shelling, the screams could no longer be heard, after the second round of shelling, the entire hall began to collapse, and then there was no need to bombard, the spearmen of the Huwei Army and the soldiers of Jizhen, who had not participated in the battle, finally joined the battlefield, all they had to do was to sort out the people under the ruins, and make up for the ones who were not killed.

The corpses of the monks and the three ladies were all found under the ruins, and in the offensive and defensive battles of the palace, the Tartar soldiers were killed and wounded nearly 3,000 people, to be precise, 3,000 people were killed in battle, and the rate of such a battle death was even higher than when defending the city.

"The goods in the palace and the warehouses in the city are all strictly guarded, and the generals and soldiers dare to stretch out their hands to act according to military law!"

Wang Tong said this, and after Ma Yong, who was born in Datong Town, heard this, he wanted to fight, but he hesitated and still didn't open his mouth.

The cavalry on the side of Datong Town and the horse team of the Huwei Army are also familiar with each other, and the friendship between Ma Yong and Ma Sanbiao is even better, and it is said that the two of them have climbed up to relatives.

After the simple discussion, the generals went out to arrange, Ma Yong and Ma Sanbiao complained privately: "The handsome man is too unkind, the brothers followed him into the city desperately, but the things in the palace and the warehouse were not allowed to be touched, what else did this mean." ……

As soon as he finished speaking, he was laughed back by Ma Sanbiao, and said: "Your brain is broken, what is the handsome, what are you talking about the palace and various public treasury, there are so many rich prisoners in this city, why don't you reach out and not get full, what are you doing stupidly staring at these big heads!" ”

When he was said this, Ma Yong from Datong Town suddenly realized, patted his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that characters like Dashuai would actually make a fuss about words, confused, confused!" ”

Since Wang Tong led the army out of the fortress, he acted simply and neatly, without any ambiguity, but today's words contained several meanings, so that everyone who was used to being simple and neat did not react for a while.

After the Ming army closed the gates of Guihua City, the siege battle finally came to an end, because Guihua City is a herdsman's city, so there is also a large area of corrals in the city, a large number of livestock are raised, and there are several areas dedicated to the tents of foreign nobles.

These vacant spaces are all used, either to dock the weight of Ming Mou, or to dock the corpses of the Ming army killed in battle, the weather is cold, do not worry about the decay of the corpse, after simple treatment, you can wait for the arrangement.

In fact, all the people of the Ming army, even the coachmen who drove the car, took up their weapons and assisted in the security of the city, and recruited local people to start working.

In the street fighting, some of the buildings that the prisoners relied on were directly destroyed by large logs, some were directly destroyed by fire, and some were directly destroyed by artillery.

When fighting to the death, naturally I can't care so much, but when the war stops, these ruins must be sorted out, otherwise the army will not be able to move smoothly, and the big thing will be delayed.

These ruins were thrown outside the gap in the city wall, and a simple fort was built there with abandoned masonry and earth, and the gap will be called a loophole in the city defense, and it is not realistic to repair and improve it with rammed earth masonry in a short time, so a firearm fortification was built directly.

Four three-pound guns and 300 fire commanders were stationed there, and a battalion of Jizhen soldiers was placed nearby, which was enough to guard against the enemy who came in from here.

That night, the southern gate of the city was opened, several large fires were lit, and the people of the city brought out the corpses of the prisoners and burned them, and although the weather was cold, it was necessary to take precautions, and the belongings of these people were all scavenged, and the money of the marching soldiers was used for the day's hard work.

Despite the destruction of the main hall of the royal palace, it was still the most suitable place to live in the Naturalized City, with a closed defense, comfortable rooms, and many beautiful women of all races.

It can also be seen that the city was broken so suddenly, and the nobles of the Alta tribe had not had time to slaughter their concubines, wives and daughters, because they were afraid of being humiliated by the old people, and it almost became a tradition to kill their daughters after the defeat.

Despite such and such benefits, Wang Tong did not make this mistake, capturing the capital of the enemy country and sleeping in the enemy's palace, which is really not worth it if it is raised by people with unpredictable ambitions.

Wang Tong still set up a handsome tent in the city, and the place where he was originally stationed by the palace guards, which was spacious, and the two regiments of the Huwei Army were dispatched nearby, which was very convenient.

The cavalry immediately began to repair, and the infantry had two battalions to patrol and guard, and the city was divided into various defense areas, which were guarded by the Huwei Army and the Jizhen Army.

A team of 100 people, the heavily armed Ming army began to patrol the city, and the situation almost settled down, occasionally there was resistance, and occasionally shouts of killing came from somewhere, but this was not the mainstream anymore.

The smell of burning corpses outside the city permeated the city, and the people in the barracks were accustomed to seeing life and death, but it didn't matter, there were cauldrons everywhere in the camp, and the mutton and beef were tumbling in the pots, and the fragrance and office were wafting.

Most of the soldiers had a mixture of excitement and exhaustion on their faces, for them it was really not too hard to fight today, and it was really not tiring to kill the defeated and the soldiers who did not resist.

The fire commanders and artillery had to work harder, and the people on duty had to be strong, and the people who were resting in shifts fell asleep directly in the tents or by the campfire, and the fatigue of the day was turned up at this time.

Wang Tong listened to the reports of the generals everywhere in his military tent, although it was late at night, but as the commander-in-chief, he could not rest, entering the Naturalization City did not mean that he could sit back and relax, and a thousand things had just begun.

Several city gates have been arranged, Yang Jin led people to go out to inspect everywhere, and the leader of the fine work lurking in the city is coming to report again.

Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Jinhe Commercial Bank, Yongsheng Commercial Bank and some large and small commercial houses, are the industries of the Huwei military system, they have been operating in Shanxi for a long time, and the business with the Tartars has also been going on, they are naturally making money in the city, and inquiring about the news, yesterday the captives coaxed and looted the Han industry, but they are because after this training, they have not suffered any casualties in the hidden area, and they can also come to guide the way when the army enters the city.

"Speaking of which, you are the group of people recruited by Zhang Shiqiang when Ben Shuai first went to Tianjin Wei, but I didn't expect to see you here in Naturalization City."

Wang Tong said to a young man with a smile, when he first arrived in Tianjin Wei, he planted eyeliner in the homes of Bing Beidao and others in the city, Zhang Shiqiang recruited a group of young people in Beijing and Tongzhou, and after Wang Tong completely controlled Tianjin Wei, these young people were sent everywhere as backbones.

"The big man still remembers the villain, and the villain is terrified."

The leader of the fine work hurriedly stood up and answered, Wang Tong smiled and waved his hand, and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, after this time you have finished your business and continue to do it, this naturalization city is a treasure land, the tribes in the west and east, the merchants of Mobei and Daming, will do business here, and the business will be bigger here, and the money earned will be enough to maintain this side, and it will be enough for you to be rich for several lifetimes." ”

The leader of the fine work surnamed Chen paused, and said thoughtfully: "What does the big marshal mean is to develop business here, and our Tianjin Wei business house will lead it?" ……

"Naturally, such a good place is down, naturally you can't just make a fortress or something, you have to manage it well, you look at those fertile fields outside the city, although there is only one harvest a year, but it is rich enough, you have to get things like the title deed quickly, this is the real wealth......

Wang Tong's advantage is that in addition to military and political affairs, he is also proficient in the way of economy, and what he said is the most valuable thing in this naturalization city.

There are indeed many gold and silver treasures in the city, but the Naturalization City itself is naturally a center of trade for all parts of the grassland, and the vast fertile fields of Tumo River around the Naturalization City, as well as these grasslands, this is where the real wealth lies.

And these things, much more low-key than the gold and silver property of those royal nobles, almost no one will pay attention, this fine work leader has a look of admiration on his face, and he was about to say a few words, but he heard someone outside the military tent report, "Marshal, Niu Genzhou, a merchant in Naturalization City, led the Han people in the city to ask for a meeting!" ”

Seeing that Wang Tong's eyes turned around, the leader of the fine work spoke: "Niu Gengang has already taken refuge in the sect, and he is considered a wealthy man in the city, but although this person is in the camp, he is not welcomed because of his Han status, otherwise he would not be doing this businessman's business." ”

Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said: "I heard that yesterday the captives were taught to loot the Han people, and the industry of this Niugen Prefecture was also affected, I don't know if he understands that the heart of the 'non-my race' will be different, let him in!" ”

"Dashuai, the grass people have been in the land of the religion for a long time, and their hearts are towards the homeland, today the big marshal led the heavenly army to come, and the grass people and others are really overjoyed!"

Niu Gengang knelt on the ground and said there with a grateful expression, Wang Tong sat on the chair and looked at him with a smile, Niu Gengang knelt behind more than a dozen people, looking at the rich and noble people with big bellies, they should all be Han Ming merchants in the city, Wang Tong asked with a smile: "The officers and soldiers entered the city, have your family and property been disturbed and lost?" ”

"Tianjun Qiu has not committed any crimes, the military discipline is strict, and the grass people and others are not grateful."

After saying this, Niu Gengang raised his head and peeked at it, straightened up and said again: "Dashuai, the grass people and others have caught a person, and he is a prisoner of the imperial court!" ”
