Dominate the Country

Chapter 209 Atonement [Fifth Update]

[Thanks to ‘Kang Kang Ni’ 588]

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Chen Ming had already led a large army down the river. But the Fu Han Army still had troops in the three towns of Wuhan, and they were the Green Camp prisoners of war that Chen Ming had captured. One by one, their braids were forcibly cut off, and they left their autographs and handprints, which were all under a very large notice.

Organized by team, one for each team.

It either cursed the wild boar skin Kang Mazi, and at the same time cursed the Qing Dynasty as worse than ****, and Qianlong was completely rubbish.

Each Green Camp soldier whose name was left on it also left the organization of his original team. If this thing was obtained by the Qing government, the family addresses recorded on the roster of Green Camp officers and soldiers were very complete, and their whole family would be finished.

Liu Wu once suggested to Chen Ming that he should carve "Anti-Qing and Fu Han" on the faces of these captives, forcing them to follow the Fu Han Army and completely part ways with the Qing Dynasty. I have to say that this is a very vicious and ruthless plan to wipe out the whole family. [Thanks to my book friend Xiao Zhanglang for his support (*^__^*) Hehe...]

As long as the words are engraved on the face, even if you run away to the horizon, as long as the Qing Dynasty still rules the world, nothing will happen. Even if you use a soldering iron to destroy the traces, as long as the story spreads, you will still be in danger of losing your head at any time. This method is really easy, very easy, and it can achieve huge results in a short period of time.

But in Chen Ming's heart, the army is very sacred. Even if someone engraves words on his face, he hopes it is the Eight Characters Army instead of the Flower Legs Army. [The Flower Legs Army is Zhang Jun's army, and there is one of them in the kneeling statue in front of Yue Fei Temple. Tattoos were popular in the Song Dynasty, and some tattoos were still a symbol of masculinity. But the Flower Legs Army was not. Zhang Jun was greedy for money and enslaved soldiers as laborers to build buildings for him. In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping on the way, Zhang Jun ordered them to be tattooed with brocade patterns, from arms to ankles, all over the body, and the people called it: Flower Legs Army.

Many people in the Eight Characters Army should know about this. Wang Yan, serve the country with all your heart and swear to kill the Jin thieves! 】

He believes that although Liu Wu's method is very effective, it will lead to a bad phenomenon: the army will be divided into two parts invisibly, and the soldiers who actively join the army will discriminate against the captured soldiers. In the long run, it is definitely not conducive to the construction of the army.

The "liberation soldiers" back then did not say that they would be discriminated against and laughed at in the team. This is the premise for the rapid transportation of the liberation soldiers into the team.

Of course, when Chen Ming sits firmly in power, no, as long as the general's mansion has a solid foundation, he can completely let the captured soldiers retire, seemingly eliminating discrimination. But can the thing called "discrimination" really be eliminated? The original target is gone, and changing a target to continue discrimination is, for example, the region, the role of habit is very huge and stubborn. Will this really have no impact on the long-term development of the army?

After thinking about it, Chen Ming still rejected Liu Wu's devilish and tempting proposal, and chose to post notices one by one.

Facts have proved that this notice is still very effective. After signing the notice, the two or three thousand captives were all in despair.

For the lower-level soldiers and the most basic military leaders of the Qing army, Qianlong, Kang Mazi, and Ye Zhupi were all figures from heaven. Not to mention insults and curses, their names would never appear in their daily conversations. The gap between the two sides is too big. Just like ordinary people in the 21st century would always talk about the committee members? Imagine the gap between the 21st century and the Qing Dynasty in terms of information, society, etc., and you can know how shocking such an impact is to these lower-level soldiers and grassroots military leaders?

Chen Ming left two battalions in Wuchang, and one battalion each in Hanyang and Hankou. These troops, together with two or three thousand captive soldiers, escorted 20,000 bannermen captives to stay in the three towns of Wuhan, like a sweet cake firmly attracting the eyes of the Sichuan Green Camp.

After Chen Ming captured Wuchang, he stayed in the three towns of Wuhan for more than ten days. The Sichuan Green Camp would not stay in Jingzhou. When Chen Ming led his troops southward along the river, six or seven thousand Sichuan Green Camp soldiers had already "recovered" Qianjiang and were ready to move towards Hanchuan.

Just as the Green Camp in Jiangxi was rapidly gathering towards Jiujiang and Hukou, Anhui had also transferred troops from the battlefield in Henan to support Anqing. There were also Green Camps in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all gathering along the Yangtze River.

Chen Ming broke through Huangzhou Prefecture and headed straight for Jiujiang in Jiangxi.

He didn't know how long the troops he left in the three towns of Wuhan could delay Hubei. This was not just a war consideration. Chen Ming also had political considerations in mind. How many of the 20,000 bannermen would die? How many died at the hands of the Qing soldiers and the Green Camp? The significance of the Fu Han Army occupying Wuchang and losing Wuchang was completely different for the whole world. Not to mention that the Wuhan Three Towns node was occupied by the Fu Han Army, which would have a great impact on the circulation of money, grain and material resources in the Huguang region of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army could not use the Han River and the Yangtze River here, and the Huguang money and grain transportation route to the north was almost paralyzed.

Almost all the captured bannermen in Jingzhou City were left in the Wuhan Three Towns, and only a part of the horse armor soldiers and their families were taken away by the Fu Han Army. Of course, Chen Ming did not let these horse armor soldiers fight for him, but let them be breeders. In the future, they will be part of the Fu Han Army's cavalry logistics force.

At the same time, he did this to weaken the strength of the Qing army. If these people run away, they will be trouble in the future. Chen Ming, the Eight Banners infantry, didn't care. Of course, he had other arrangements. He was not only targeting the infantry, but the entire young and strong class. As for these horse armor soldiers, they should just be prisoners. Following the team down the river, in the cavalry camp where they were loaded on the ship together with the horses, the newly arrived Eight Banners prisoners performed well. Let's not talk about their work ability first-in all, Chen Kaishan didn't think they were much better than ordinary grooms, but Chen Ming had already stuffed these people in, and Chen Kaishan had nothing to say-at least these prisoners were very honest and their spirits were very decadent.

A few days before the army set out, the decree issued by Emperor Qianlong had been promptly passed to Chen Ming by the secret camp. Chen Ming immediately had people spread the word among the captive bannermen, but no one of the more than 20,000 Jingzhou bannermen believed it until the Qing Dynasty's notice was passed to the three towns of Wuhan on the eve of the departure of the large army. These non-nationals who were expelled from the nationality were completely decadent, just like they had aged twenty years.

Chen Ming understood the psychological feelings of these Jingzhou bannermen at this moment. This is just like the Red Russians in World War II. The front line was defeated, and the soldiers entered the German prisoner camps one by one as prisoners, but they did not really want to betray their motherland. At this time, the radio station reported that their families were labeled traitors and suffered the most painful misfortune. That feeling is similar to the feelings of the Jingzhou bannermen at the moment.

They were abandoned and abandoned, and their masters further knocked them all to the ground, expelled them from the nationality, and no longer bannermen, which can be said to have deprived them of their last dignity and hope.

Now the 20,000 bannermen were divided and arranged in Hanyang and Wuchang, but not in Hankou. Many people were in a state of numbness and daze. Every day, news from Wuchang reached Chen Ming on the boat, reporting the news there. Chen Yongsheng, who was in charge of Wuchang, certainly noticed the mental state of these bannermen.

Chen Ming did not feel sorry for the fate of the 20,000 people. Chen Ming was kind-hearted for not completely slaughtering them. It was also kind to manipulate them like this now. Compared with the bloody sins committed by the ancestors of these people, this was nothing.

Even if it was atonement, it would at most be interest. The real big head was still to come.
