General Zhennan, I think it would be better to cut down the useless waste and waste of food in the city. When we were still outside the Pass, the army was short of food. Didn't Emperor Taizu do the same thing? There were many more people killed at that time than now. But after our army survived, they all praised Emperor Taizu for his correct decision. "At this time, a Manchu general with a yellow flag stood up and said with determination.
Hearing this, You Shouren couldn't help but frown.
I originally thought this was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. Forget about anything else, as we said during the discussion, the rebels are now outside the city, and everything in the city is focused on maintaining stability. With this random killing and chaos in the city, if the rebels choose to attack the city at this time, how can they defend it? I really don’t know what this Manchu is thinking.
When Niu Hulu Fu Sen heard this, he wanted to go over and slap this pushy guy to death immediately.
Yes, Emperor Taizu dared to do this because no one could do anything to him. But does he, Niu Hulu Fu Sen, dare to give such an order? After the war was over, when the imperial court planned to settle accounts and hold those responsible accountable, Niu Hulu Fu Sen was the first person who couldn't escape.
"General Zhennan, gentlemen, Yongqi thinks that it is inappropriate to kill the people in the city at this time. Why don't we let the families in the city who have no fighting ability be released from the city to the rebels?" At this time, Aixinjueluo Yong Qi suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Niu Hulu, Fu Sen and others all looked at Aixinjueluo Yongqi.
"The rebels have been pretending to be benevolent and righteous teachers! We can keep these people's food and send them out of the city." Aixinjueluo Yongqi stood up from his seat and continued said.
"Faced with the people who have no food, if the rebels don't rescue them, they will slap themselves in the face, so that the world will see clearly their hypocrisy. But if the rebels choose to rescue them, they will consume a lot of their military rations, which can alleviate the Our pressure. In this way, after releasing those people, we can save our army's food and at the same time consume the rebels' food, why not?"
"Fifth Brother's method is good, but it will cause dissatisfaction among the people!" You Shouren could not help but whisper.
For thousands of years, when the enemy attacked, they always said that they would share the same hatred with the enemy, but I had never heard of them pushing the people away when the enemy besieged the city. The fifth prince really dared to say this.
"I think Fifth Elder Brother's method works. This rebel has always regarded himself as a Han army. Letting the people in the city go out, whether they kill them or not, is extremely beneficial to us." A Green Camp The general stood up and echoed Aixinjueluo Yongqi's words.
At this time, there was a lot of discussion below. Many of the Eight Banners generals from Manchuria and Mongolia supported the idea of the general with the yellow flag just now.
After all, although the people released have little fighting ability, the rebels can at least use them as cannon fodder to fill the moat and so on.
However, more people support Aixinjueluo Yongqi's statement.
It's not that they suddenly became kind-hearted. In fact, they don't have much feeling about the life and death of those people, and if they can kill those people, maybe they can still take a small advantage. However, as far as the current city defense situation is concerned, it is really not suitable for unrest in Xuzhou City at this time, otherwise once the rebels take the opportunity to attack the city, they will definitely be defeated.
The weather is hot now. If they massacre all the people in the city, and if the corpses are not properly handled, plague will easily occur. At that time, Xuzhou City will not need rebels to attack the city. The rebels will only need to surround Xuzhou City for a month or two, and they will all be dead.
Of course, the more important thing is that once they pick up the butcher's knife and slaughter the people in the city, judging from the attitude of the rebels, it will be impossible for them to surrender, and the rebels will definitely kill them all.
Surrender is their last retreat, so they cannot block their retreat no matter what. Especially the Green Camp generals among them will not agree to let the Manchus massacre the people in Xuzhou City.
In the past, when these green camps were asked to surrender to the rebels, they might still resist because they were afraid that the rebels would not succeed. But now it seems that joining the rebels is also a good choice. After all, the rebels are also Han Chinese, and their ability to follow the dragon in the future will definitely be no worse than it is now.
"Fifth Brother Renyi, of course we know, but we are afraid that some people are secretly thinking of surrendering to their Han people!" At this moment, a strange and sinister voice sounded, causing the surrounding area to be filled with anger.
Looking around, it was a Manchurian border army general who was talking nonsense.
When these border troops came with the imperial order, the imperial court tacitly agreed that as long as they could defeat the rebels, they would be allowed to plunder the cities occupied by the rebels for three days without sealing the sword.
However, they never dreamed that the rebels would be so difficult to defeat. For so long, except for conquering a few small villages and villages for looting, they have never conquered any larger county town.
And among the villages they plundered, many of them were robbed in advance even before the bandit suppression troops occupied them. The name is not to leave any supplies for the rebels.
I felt sorry for the robbed villagers and asked the government for help, but those officials dared not care about these ferocious Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers, so they had no choice but to let it go.
Since they went south, they had not looted much but suffered a lot of losses. The Eight Banners frontier troops were also holding back their anger. Now they were surrounded by the bandit suppressing army and unable to move in Xuzhou City. There was nowhere to spread their anger. Naturally, Throw away the green camp that is one level below you.
"Okay, Mohaza, what are you talking about? Immediately apologize to all the green camp generals, otherwise don't blame me for engaging in military law against you..." At this moment, Niu Hulu Fu Sen immediately spoke out and scolded the Manchurian general.
"Hey, I accept your order." The Manchurian general apologized to the Green Camp general present with a face full of reluctance.
However, although the Manchu general did not mean to apologize much, the green camp generals did not necessarily have a good attitude towards him. It was just because of Niu Hulu, Fu Sen and others that no conflict occurred here.
"This matter is over. I am not allowed to hear any such words in the future..." Niu Hulu Fu Sen said to everyone present as if he were a peacemaker.
"Yes (嗻)..."
…
"That's right. All of you, my lords, are rare capable ministers and good generals in our Qing Dynasty. Your merits will naturally be remembered by the court, and you will be rewarded based on your merits in the future. So, please continue to unite, and in order to strengthen our The Qing Dynasty will continue to work hard." Aixinjueluo Yongqi also stood up and persuaded.
