Thinking about it carefully, Emperor Longwu had no more than three ways to deal with these captives.

One of the ways is to put on death row and be raised and slowly indoctrinated.

If the country is strong, this method can also be used.

But now, now, right now, right now, how can you make Emperor Longwu, who is already stretched thin in material and financial resources, embarrassed?

......

The second method is to behead the public and boost morale.

Although this method is relieving, although it is very satisfying, who can it show it?

You must know that in the territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty, most of the young and middle-aged people have joined the Northern Expedition. The rest are just women, children, the old and weak, no matter how high their morale is, what is the use?

Moreover, this division of troops to escort and evacuate is likely to delay the fighters.

......

The third way is to send people to negotiate and exchange prisoners.

Although this method is good and very much in line with the character of Emperor Longwu, who loves the people like a son, the question is who to change it for?

And most importantly, is there anyone else to change?

In the face of the powerful power of the Qing army, under the temptation of favorable conditions, most of the people captured by the Ming Dynasty were very familiar with current affairs and had already changed their ways.

Those who look at the wind and descend, those who "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", and those who "climb another high branch" are like carp crossing the river, and there are countless of them.

And for the very few who do not know the current affairs and resolutely do not surrender, the Qing army will not be soft and will be killed directly!

Otherwise, what's the use of keeping it?

I'm sorry, I don't have that patience, and I don't have that much spare work.

Not to mention the waste of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, it is extremely unpleasant!

......

It is impossible to collect it as used, and it is not advisable to escort it to the rear, so how to deal with these hot mountains?

Just release it?

Impossible!

For a tiger and wolf army like the Qing army, how can they be merciful and let the tiger return to the mountain?

The truth of "fighting a snake does not die but is bitten", for a person like Huang Daozhou, how can he not know?

Therefore, this method is tantamount to a fantasy, and it is absolutely impossible!

......

Carrying it with the army?

It's!

Not to mention a living person who will wait for an opportunity to resist and sneak away, even if it is 2,000 corpses, it is difficult to carry them with the army.

Untie the foot acupoints and let them walk on their own?

Nor is it advisable!

Because, if you are a little negligent, most of you will take advantage of the gap.

Only a small number of troops can be divided into 24-hour guards.

However, this is too labor-intensive.

Let the horses carry the horses?

It's too draining!

Moreover, war horses were a scarce thing for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

And how can it be the turn of these captives to enjoy?

This is not feasible, that is not advisable, so there is only one way to die for them, and it must be a decisive decision!

Because, the big war will start soon, so why bother with it?

......

The reason why Hua Feng did not order the killing, and when he was captured, he did not make a ruthless move, was mainly based on three considerations.

First, battlefield discipline requires this.

That is, no one is allowed to dispose of captives at will.

If there are more than three people and less than five people, it can be disposed of by the heads of each road.

More than five people, less than ten people, after the head of each road disposed of, must be reported.

If there are more than 10 people, they must be reported to the Supreme Commander for disposal.

As the head of the First Army, which commanded more than 5,000 people, Hua Feng must lead by example and strictly abide by discipline.

"Strict people are strict first". It is not strict, how can it be convincing?

......

Second, I don't want to get too much blood on my hands.

Although they are hostile sides, they are also human lives in the end.

Even if Hua Feng is decisive in killing, he is not a person who loves to kill.

As a last resort, he will never be stained with blood.

Therefore, it was the best choice to hand over these 2,000 prisoners to Huang Daozhou, the supreme commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

......

Third, it is convenient to clean up the battlefield.

With the martial arts of Hua Feng, Meng Qi, Xiao Yun, and Duan Jinchao, it is not difficult to kill these two thousand cavalry if they are ruthless.

But in this way, it is bound to make flesh and blood fly everywhere, and it is not conducive to cleaning up the battlefield.

No matter how heavy the rain is, no matter how fierce the wind is, and how thoroughly it is cleaned, there must be a slight smell of blood on the ground and in the air.

And veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.

In this way, it is very easy to arouse the vigilance of the enemy's troops, and the strategic ambush is likely to fail and be aborted as a result.

......

Under the leadership of Meng Qi, Ren Yong, Duan Jinchao, Jiang Nannan, Meng Qingqing and others, the training was carried out in an orderly and impressive manner, and the results were excellent.

At this time, the most idle person is the main general Hua Feng.

It seems that on the battlefield, it is far more important to be able to use your brain than to be able to use your hands.

It seems that the phrase "one hero and three gangs" does have some truth.

If Hua Feng's brain is not enough and the arrangement is unreasonable, the situation will definitely not be as good as it is in such a good place.

In the turmoil of people's hearts, under the joy of a great victory and victory in the first battle, after the extra 2,000 horses and 2,000 cavalry out of thin air, the chaos without noise is unbearable, even if it burns high incense!

......

If Hua Feng did everything himself, not only would he not be able to take care of it, but he would discourage the enthusiasm of Ren Yong, Jiang Nannan and others.

For the way of the general, the heart should be cured first.

Therefore, with great leadership art, he only grasps the general direction and only acts as the helmsman and leader.

As for how to exert his strength and how to achieve the set goals, he rarely asked, and allowed a few capable people to exert their subjective initiative.

In this way, Huafeng not only fell relaxed and leisurely, but also activated everyone, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

......

The training of the four units is in full swing, and the results are extremely obvious.

Among them, the cavalry battalion grasped the most tightly and made the fastest progress.

Under the guidance and supervision of the three leaders, the 600 cavalry had memorized the basic essentials of horsemanship. The normal galloping of the horse is no longer hindered.

But if you want to do archery, fighting, leaning over and other actions on the back of a running horse, you still can't catch it.

It can be said that at present, this cavalry has not yet formed combat effectiveness, but is just a toothless tiger that cannot cause real damage to people.

It's okay to pull the tiger skin and pull the banner and bluff, but it's just a useless death to really go into battle and kill the enemy.

......

The entire cavalry battalion was trained extremely hard and conscientiously.

After all, they also know that they will become the trump card troops in the hands of the general Hua generals and the fist force of the front army.

In the cavalry battalion, if their combat strength is not even as good as that of ordinary soldiers, how can they still see people? What sense of superiority do they have? How can they be worthy of the great trust of General Hua?

......

Such an intense state of training for the battle made Hua Feng very satisfied.

However, he was still worried about the growth rate of the cavalry battalion.

The war will start soon, and as a surprise soldier and fist in his hands, with the combat ability of the current cavalry battalion, it is obviously not enough to be competent.

Under the situation of tight time, heavy tasks, and poor foundation, how can the cavalry battalion form combat effectiveness as soon as possible? How can this important and practical problem be solved?

Hua Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought again. I want to talk about "Chivalry and Invincible" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
