No matter how evil they do, humans are still humans and cannot transform into other creatures.
When the war horse tramples the battle formation, the flying blood is warm, and the severed limbs are no different from you and me.
War is the final answer when irreconcilable conflicts come to an end. No one likes war, so we must respect war even more.
When it comes to war, denial is laughable.
Huang Daquan entered the battlefield from the other side and observed the battle from an extremely close distance.
The same scene may appear differently in the eyes of different people.
One party will kill the other party and compete in the most primitive way. From now on, there is a class living, called the strong. The one who loses is naturally the 'weak' and has to accept the give and take of the strong.
But again, one kills the other. The class barriers between them have been smoothed out in the simplest way. Death is fair, the blood of both sides flows together, it does not matter which side's blood is black.
Huang Daquan observed the battlefield carefully and did not feel that he was stronger than others from this violent action.
Rather, I feel more personally the pain of the people at the bottom.
"The battle situation is similar to what we judged. The rebel army has collapsed. The refugees are fleeing. We can let the second echelon responsible for collecting the prisoners start taking action in advance! If they move faster, the pressure on the supply team sent out to buy food and grass can be reduced. a little."
Huang Daquan recalled the possibilities discussed in several cadre meetings and Huang Yi's emphasis on putting the people first.
"Once so many guys who have been on the battlefield are spread into nearby villages, it will be a disaster."
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely bring the order!"
In the era of cold weapons, only a small number of people were actually killed on the battlefield. Especially the rebels with varying qualities like this. When the leader dies, it's easy for them to disperse.
Huang Yi lacks a population, and the refugees here who are collaborating with the rebels have lost the land they depend on for survival. If they are allowed to scatter, they will have to rise again sooner or later.
This is not Huang Yi's unfounded guess.
The Ming Dynasty successfully suppressed rebellions several times, but each time it failed to eradicate the scourge.
The fundamental reason is that ordinary people can no longer survive.
"Force them back step by step, eat away at the scattered refugees bit by bit, gather them, and transform them!"
Huang Daquan kept Huang Yi's request in mind and actively planned to implement the Xinghe Army step by step.
As Huang Daquan's order arrived, the second echelon of the Xinghe Army, responsible for rounding up the defeated army, had already set off.
The teams that took the property captured on the battlefield in the past few days and went to nearby villages to collect food and grass were fully armed. They would remind the villages to be on guard along the way.
If necessary, we will set up on-site defenses to help the people resist these defeated soldiers who have become rogues!

"Master Zhu! You died unjustly!"
"You shouldn't trust these damn rebels! Are you asking for peace? What kind of security are you recruiting? My uncle died on the city wall. Can a call for peace bring my uncle back to life?"
"Sir Zhu Wannian must have been framed! He is the toughest and toughest man I have ever seen. There is absolutely no way he would agree to such a ridiculous idea as recruitment!"
"Yes! It's the officials who are fighting for power again! Everyone has seen it! When we were besieged before, which ones were distracted and which ones were flirting with the rebels!"
The battle took place so close to Laizhou City.
Because there were city defense troops outside the city participating in the defense, the tragic news of Zhu Wannian being transferred to the flag was quickly spread back to the city.
And because Huang Dayong and his men were stationed in the city for rest.
The wind of public opinion is becoming more violent, and it is not without its source!
The wind was mixed with sharp blades, pointing directly at the biggest driver of this recruitment! Liu Yulie, Master Liu!
Zhu Wannian is well-known in Laizhou, and he gained the admiration of all people during his long defense of the city.
And now, their Lord Zhu died tragically outside the city. When the siege has been solved? Die before dawn?
Under the influence of the Xinghe Army propaganda team, people in the streets even began to talk about how Zhu Wannian was yelling at him.
"Folks! We, the Xinghe Army, must give Mr. Zhu justice. We, the Xinghe Army, have been in the city for a few days. We hope that the folks can give us some recognition of the Xinghe Army! Now is the critical moment when the two armies are fighting. We The Xinghe Army is fighting far away from the base area and is short of supplies. I would also like to ask the fellow villagers to do it for your convenience. If there is food that can be scraped up at home, the Xinghe Army is willing to bid for it!"
"Soldier! Stop coaxing people. I've never heard of a soldier paying."
"Hey, you pockmarked guy, don't act so careless here. The young man from Xinghe Army helped me carry water yesterday."
"That's right, I've also come into contact with them. These soldiers are really different."
"Yesterday I found a fellow villager in the Xinghe Army, woo woo woo."
"That's right, have you ever seen soldiers sleeping on the streets without a place to sleep? They are all young men, and they look distressing."
"Yes, it seems that the city defense camp is trying to force me to sleep."
The propagandist standing high up stretched out his hand and tugged on his red armband, cleared his throat and continued shouting, "Don't worry, folks! Our Xinghe Army will not take a stitch from the people! As long as it is supplies, we will pay for them!"

Fang Huai is dead, and of course he is dead. There were quite a few people who launched the counterattack with him, but none of them could compare with Huang Dazhi. These knights around Huang Dazhi have all experienced the baptism of the real horse people on the prairie, and have gone head-to-head with those elite cavalry!
This is a guy with no reputation in history, not to mention that the arrival of Xing Hejun has lowered the head of the originally dazzling character?
The news of Li Jiucheng's death reached Huang Yi's desk, leaving old Huangtou Huang Yi stunned for a while.
The guy who stirred up troubles in history died so easily?
"Send the order and say that the cannon that killed Li Jiuzheng was Sun Yuanhua's. Then inform the comrades in the artillery camp that there will be extra food tonight!"
Li Jiucheng's premature death is not necessarily a good thing for Huang Yi, which means that the first wave of rebels' collapse will release more deserters than expected.
Huang Yi was confident that he could transform the remaining rebels into his own warriors after the screening, but that would take time. Before that, I'm afraid I have to speed up a bit.
Originally, we wanted to delay the siege of Dengzhou until the weather turned cold and we could no longer ferry, because we were afraid that Li Jiucheng would flee by ferry as happened in history and gain an advantage over Huang Taiji's men.
Now there is no such problem. Only Kong Youde is left in charge, and the Xinghe Army has a great chance of a quick victory!
"Huang Daquan's crow's mouth seems to have been opened. He said he would prevent the rebel leader from dying suddenly, and he really did it right!" Huang Yi laughed in the tent and said, "Here comes someone! Start the preparation plan and notify everyone. The army is ready to pursue! The vanguard troops take action!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
