The prefectures and counties that have not been captured are also fortified and cleared, and the cities are defended to the death, for fear that the spies will be mixed in, and they will no longer contain the displaced people at this time.

Some people are timid and afraid of death, afraid that they will be severely punished if they are caught by the Yangxin defenders, but what is the point of running away? Most of them will starve to death and freeze to death on the road. That's the case, nearly half of the people who coerced the captives to attack Yangxin scattered, but more than half of the people did not escape, or they fled and returned, resigned to their fate and disposed of.

There were too many prisoners, and they were all directly imprisoned in the Zhulongpo camp outside the city.

Surrounded by everyone, Lin Tie first went to the Zhulongpo camp to inspect the people who were imprisoned in the camp.

This captives are in the northeast corner of Zhulongpo, which is also in the north of Yangxin City, there is no other structure except for the moat wall and a few simple shelters, and six or seven thousand people are concentrated here.

Open the camp, first a large number of soldiers went in to drive away, bomb and suppress the captured people and put them on strict guard, clear out a vacant land, Lin Jian and Yuan Jianhai, Yuan Yan, Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others walked in, the guards were also very nervous, I don't know how many chaotic soldiers are mixed in the people, and the screening work has not yet begun.

"They're so pathetic." Yuan Yan looked at the captured people who were squatting on the ground under the pressure of bullets in the camp and did not dare to stand up, looking at their trembling and frightened looks, she remembered her panic when she escaped from Jinan City, as if it was a nightmare that she could never get rid of in her lifetime.

"Little county lord, not everyone deserves sympathy, these are untouchables who should be killed, even if Lord Lin cuts off their heads, it is not a pity. If they hadn't transported grain and grass, built trenches, and built war equipment for the captives, how could the captives attack Yangxin, and where would the Yangxin defenders have so many casualties? "Zuo Tanggui is active again, and he is serious about educating the little county lord Yuan Yan. At this time, even if he said the wrong thing, at least he didn't have to take revenge on Lin Lian like Ye Youren and rush to the city to defend the city. Thinking of this colleague who cut off Lin Bin's head at the head of the city to correct military law, Zuo Tang Guixin was afraid and hated Lin Bin.

Yuan Yan didn't care about Zuo Tanggui's words, and looked at Lin Tie.

Lin Yan didn't say anything, glanced back at Yuan Yan, and smiled.

It was at fault for these people to help the captives attack Yangxin and increase the casualties of the Yangxin defenders. For ordinary people, they paid land and taxes to live, were oppressed and exploited by officials and squires, and did not receive half of the benefits of the imperial court if they survived, so how could they be expected to die for the Dayue Dynasty?

This is not a question of post-war liquidation, the key is that the captives plundered as many as 300,000 or 400,000 Dingkou this time, and if these people are severely liquidated and even sentenced to death, it will only prompt the plundered 300,000 or 400,000 Dingkou to follow the Dongkou with an iron heart.

Lin Jian didn't know what the final decision of the imperial court would be, but some officials did not resist effectively, but they were very expert in liquidating ordinary people, and he knew this situation very well. More critical to the land issue, liquidating one person, you can strip off one person's land, not to mention those court officials who promise to be high, the local squires will also be very active in the liquidation, maybe the officials, squires in the surrender of the East captives, than these small people, more harmful, but they also have more ways to exonerate themselves.

"I know that the vast majority of you are coerced, and if someone puts a knife on my neck, I will do something against my will," Lin Jian let the guards in front of him get out of the way, and he shouted directly to the people who were captured in the village, "No one will willingly transport food to the thieves to beat their own villagers and relatives, I know the bitterness in your hearts, and the court and the government will not investigate your crimes." The thieves are about to retreat, you should live here for a while and wait to return home, if you don't have enough clothes to wear and not freeze, you have to report to the guards. Although Yangxin doesn't have any extra clothes, he can still peel some off the dead people, so I hope you don't mind and taboo it. The food will not be very good, but I am here to make sure that you will not starve to death...... Now there is a problem, I know that some rebels, some captives take off their armor and hide among you as ordinary people, they are also the executioners who mutilate your relatives and your fellow villagers, and they are also the executioners who force you to mutilate your own relatives and your own townspeople, and if you find suspicious strangers around you, you should take the initiative to tell the guards, once it is confirmed that they are captives and rebels, the people who report them are not only not guilty, but also meritorious......"

The captured people who were suppressed by a large number of armor bullets were shocked, and they didn't know whether it was better to believe Lin Lian's words or continue to remain silent, and some were even worried about what would happen if the captives came back?

Lin Jian said to Zhao Qingshan, who was in charge of the garrison of Zhulongpo: "Captured people are not allowed to register on the register, and they are not allowed to question their villagers. If you confirm that there is no problem, you can drive them to do some miscellaneous work, help tidy up the camp, clean up the battlefield, and transport materials, which can be regarded as giving them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they must not be rude in their work, and it is necessary to absolutely prohibit the abuse of prisoners by the people below! Specialized personnel should be responsible for the interrogation work, and unrelated persons should participate in the interrogation, and the torture of prisoners should be counted as severe punishment, and they must not be tolerated. You must remember to me: the elite army of a hundred battles is built with iron discipline, not brutality and inhumanity. ”

Leaving the camp where the captured husbands were held, Lin Jian went to inspect the situation of the Zhulongpo garrison.

In fact, there was no need for Lin Tie's orders, the Jin Zhong Army and the Shao Wu Army were stationed in Zhulongpo with the Jiangdong Left Army, and another healing camp was also set up on Zhulongpo.

The casualties of defending the city were heavy, but relatively speaking, the casualties of the Minyong and Yuanyang Xin's defending army, who had no combat experience, accounted for more than three-quarters of the more than 3,000 casualties in the defense of the city. On the one hand, the lack of courage of the Minyong and Yuanyang Faithful Defenders, and on the other hand, the lack of combat experience; The pawn can better protect himself on the battlefield and cooperate with his colleagues to kill the enemy.

However, Shao Wujun, who went out of the city to counterattack last night, was red-eyed, and in the end, his own array could not be guaranteed, and there were some undeserved casualties among the routs who had almost no resistance in the pursuit. When he avoided Yangxin, Shao Wujun had more than 1,000 people, and he would strengthen and replenish it to a full strength of 1,200 people, and at this time, only 600 people could still continue to fight with weapons. The attrition ratio of the Jinzhong Army is much better than that of the Shao Wu Army, with 300 people entering the city, and nearly 200 people still maintain their combat ability, and the attrition of the Jiangdong Left Army is also about this ratio.

The reinforcements led by Zhou Pu and Zhao Qingshan last night were mainly to participate in the rout battle, and there were almost no casualties, and the biggest reason for the attrition was that there were many people who were cramped in the snow at night.

Lin Jian inspected the healing camp and instructed the soldiers to use enough medicine and nutrition for the wounded, and to try to save everyone. These wounded are not only heroic killers in battle, but healing their injuries is a valuable asset, even if those who are seriously disabled and can no longer return to the team, Lin Jian will not abandon them.

It is necessary to give the soldiers the glory of fighting bravely, to give them a sense of belonging, and not to make them feel that fighting bravely may be abandoned. Although to do this, Jiyun Society has to pay more costs, but this must be done.

Things after the war seem to be more complicated than before the war, Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang, and Sun Shangwang are all at the mouth of the Jinhai vortex, and Zhou Pu, Zhao Qingshan, and Ning Zechen are not good at this kind of trivial matter with greater political significance, so Lin Jian can only bite the bullet himself.

After Lin Jian inspected the treatment camp, Zhao Qingshan sent someone to report the news, saying that his speech just now had had an effect, and the people began to report the hidden rebels and captives, and now more than a dozen people have been found.

Dispelling worries and reassuring people's hearts is a technical job, Lin Jian sighed secretly. They don't know the situation on the Jinhai side yet, otherwise they will have to be more relaxed if they transfer Lin Mengde over.

***********

Last night, nearly 1,200 prisoners were captured and surrendered on the battlefield in the valley in the northwest of Yangxin City, and in addition to the previous captures, there were almost 1,400 surrendered soldiers in several places in the city, the most important one was the county prison.

Last night, 567 captives were directly killed on the battlefield of Tanihara, plus the results of the previous and last night's battles in the city, this city defense battle still achieved a record of killing more than 1,000 captives, even if it is not counted for the rebels killed or captured, Yangxin defended the city, and it can be called brilliant.

Lin Tie was surrounded by everyone and came to the courtyard in front of the county jail.

He squinted at the cold and dark gate of the county prison, and Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and other generals of the Shao Wu Army all looked at him. Lin Jian stood on the field for a while, and ordered: "Bring out all the military attaches above the rank of commander in the surrendered army!" ”

"Lord Lin, do you remember me, the younger one is the captain of the Zhaowu Colonel of the Liangzhejiang Governor's Mansion, Shengtianxi? In the Jinan Governor's Mansion, the little one also toasted Lord Lin, "Sheng Tianxi put on a heavy flail and escorted him to the courtyard, he saw that Lin Tie and everyone had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and wanted to plead at Lin Bin's feet, but he pressed the guard to the same place, so he lay on the spot and kowtowed to Lin Bin, kept kowtowing, and the forehead knocked on the cold ground and the blood did not stop, and he confessed with a handful of snot and tears, "It is Zhao Jinlong's brute who wants to take refuge in the east, and let Hu Cong take the knife holder on the neck of me and Captain Zhou and Captain Sun to abandon the south gate of Jinan, I don't want to betray Jinan City to death, I can't wait to kill myself on the spot, it's Zhao Jinlong's beast who tied me with hemp rope, I can't even die - I heard that Captain Sun is dead, Zhou Zhizhong's bastard later confused Zhao Jinlong, and he also voted for Dongyu with an iron heart, but I am not willing to surrender to the enemy. I led the troops to attack the city, not really to attack the city, I was born as a person of Dayue, and died as a ghost of Dayue, even if I died, I had to do something meaningful to Dayue, I actually wanted to enter the city to join Lord Lin. Lord Lin, when you gave the order, did I hesitate to kill the captives? Lord Lin, you have to make decisions for the little one! I am not willing to surrender to the thief! I am not willing to surrender to the thief! Lord Lin is the master of the little one, and the little one is willing to be a cow and a horse for Lord Lin from now on! ”

Sheng Tianxi's tears and snot flowed down together, he knew that the only thing that could decide his fate was not someone else, but Lin Tie in front of him, Lin Tie only had to bend his pen and change his forced surrender last night to take the initiative to lead the troops to kill the prisoners and defend the city anyway, the capital crime could naturally be avoided, and maybe he could keep his official position.

"You stand up first, I know what you've done," Lin Jian squatted down, patted Sheng Tianxi's shoulder, looked at his tearful face with a kind attitude, and asked, "All the captured military attaches in the rebel Zhejiang soldiers are here?" Are there any leftovers? ”

Sheng Tianxi only wanted to save the dog's life, and was anxious to show his merit in front of Lin Lian, and immediately pointed out that one of the three military attaches hidden in the ordinary soldiers was still the deputy battalion commander of the Linqing guards.

Most of the soldiers who defected were sentenced to be confiscated in the end, and perhaps even their sons and nephews were sentenced to be confiscated into the army, and the garrison place would be more dangerous and difficult, but most of them would not be killed directly. Military attachés and generals have to take a lot of trouble to save their lives, and senior generals still have to see if there is anyone in the court to speak for them, but now a crime of flesh and flesh is indispensable, and pretending to be an ordinary soldier can reduce a lot of suffering.

The three defecting military attaches were immediately pulled out of the prison.

Lin Jian squinted at the more than forty rebel military attachés, his eyes narrowed and looked at the sky for a while, and then he said slowly: "The military merits are insufficient, Lin wants to borrow your head for use, I'm sorry for you!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered the rebel military attachés and generals to be taken out for torture.
