As time went by, the Ming army gradually established a firm foothold in the Xiangfan area, and the people of Xiangfan often recognized and reunited with their relatives.
The appearance of relatives also made some women who wanted to commit suicide no longer think about it, but there were also some women who seemed to have figured it out and committed suicide after seeing their relatives.
The Ming army wanted to take care of such a huge trauma, but they really couldn't. In the end, Wen Anzhi personally took action and brought a group of instructors to the women's wards, preaching to them about exploitation and oppression all day long.
Then he mentioned the female workers in the handicraft factories in the Ming Dynasty, and mentioned that they worked hard to make money and were praised by their families, parents and brothers.
Wen Anzhi also told these women the story he heard about Xiao Cui, the first female member of the Renaissance Society, and told them the story of "The White-Haired Girl" many times.
Ku Toupo's tireless preaching and persuasion really had a good effect.
Some women took Wen Anzhi's hand and begged him on the spot, saying that they wanted to work in factories in other places. They did not want to stay in this sad place and wanted to stay away from here. In that case, they might be able to start over.
As long as they don't seek short-sightedness, of course everything will be fine. Wen Anzhi agreed to many people to help them coordinate their work and stay away from Xiangfan.
Of course, there are also a large number of women who became pregnant after being abused by Song soldiers, which is more difficult to deal with. .
Of course the inhumane bastard doesn't care whether she's pregnant or not, and just continues to humiliate and ignore her. Some women have already had miscarriages, and some don't know whether they're lucky or not, or whether they're pregnant.
Of course, most of them were unwilling to give birth to children, so at the strong request of these women, Wen Anzhi nodded and asked the doctors to prepare abortion pills to help these women have abortions, and then help them recuperate.
In addition, there are a very small number of women who believe that the crime is not as bad as the child and cannot bear to have an abortion. Wen Anzhi also respects their choice.
The most difficult thing is the disagreement with her family. The woman wants to give birth to a child, but her family is strongly opposed and must demand an abortion. The doctors are in a dilemma.
They quarreled fiercely and almost got physical. Wen Anzhi took the trouble to do his job over and over again, stopping the one who wanted to hit him. He even got hit several times and endured the pain to reconcile many conflicts.
The war is simple to fight, it's just a matter of whether it's conquered or not, whether it's death or not, but the civil settlement after the war always feels like it can't be solved at all in less than half a year.
Of course, the Song Dynasty didn't care about this kind of thing at all. The Ming Dynasty did and had to invest a lot of resources and energy in this matter.
Zhang Yuejing expressed his regret for this.
"I'm sorry, Anzhi, I've left all these things to you... I really don't know what to do. Compared with these things, I actually feel that marching and fighting is the easiest thing."
"I should also be responsible for these things. It's enough for you to take care of the army and fight the war. We haven't won this battle yet. Civil affairs is inherently complicated. If we take care of this side, we have to take care of that side. Taking care of people is often in a dilemma and suffers from both sides..."
Wen Anzhi rubbed his swollen face and shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Yuejing sighed.
"Does it hurt?"
Wen Anzhi shook his head.
"My face doesn't hurt, but my heart hurts. Those girls are only in their teens, and they have been tortured to this point. The youngest one is only twelve years old. Their family asked them to have abortions. Why don't they feel pain in their hearts? I looked at them. Crying and making noise, I only regretted that I didn’t lead the troops in earlier..."
Zhang Yuejing was silent for a long time after hearing this. He felt that he had a lot to say, but when the words came to his lips, nothing came out.
The chaos among the people in the two cities of Xiangfan lasted for about half a month, and all the conflicts broke out during this period.
Wen Anzhi put a lot of effort into this and reconciled many family conflicts.
He tirelessly led the revival propaganda team to explain the Ming Dynasty's policies and handicraft factories, so as to comfort the people, especially those women who were seriously traumatized.
His efforts finally had some effect, and the conflicts among the people gradually subsided. With the return of Xiangfan residents from more distant places, some conflicts are expected to break out one after another, but Wen Anzhi, who has experience in handling them, is no longer afraid.
During this period of time, the Ming army completed the attack on the Guanghua Army, Junzhou, Fangzhou, Suizhou, Xinyang Army and other places around Xiangfan.
After the two main armies of 120,000 people were annihilated by the Ming army, the Song army completely lost its resistance in the Jinghu area. Jinghu has become the possession of the Ming army, and taking it down is like picking something out of a bag.
After the defeat of the Song army, the officials, powerful and wealthy people from various places who were the first to get the news fled on a large scale. The Ming army pursued those who could catch up, and let go of those who could not catch up. Anyway, it was only a matter of time.
The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to say.
Most of these powerful and wealthy people had read "Hongwu Political Treatise" and knew some of the contents in it, so when they saw the Ming army coming, they ran away quickly and did not dare to stay at all, for fear that they would be caught and hanged by the Ming army.
That is to say, they run fast, otherwise they would really have to hang a lot of people for the Ming army.
Anyway, those local wealthy households, powerful officials and bureaucrats in the Second City of Xiangfan who relied on the Song army to survive were wiped out by the Ming army.
One by one among these guys, they are all full of crimes and none of them are clean, so the way to deal with them is very simple.
Public trials, property confiscation, exile in Jishi Prefecture, etc. Those who had committed extremely heinous crimes and had extremely bad reputations were directly tried and hanged together with Song Army officers.
With a set of combined punches, the rich, powerful, and bureaucrats in many places around the Xiangfan area were wiped out. It also saved the Ming army the effort of arresting and eliminating them everywhere, which can be regarded as a contribution.
At the same time, after the initial wave of casualties, many sick and wounded people in the Second City of Xiangfan were rescued by Ming army doctors and gradually recovered and were able to go to the ground for activities.
A considerable number of malnourished people gradually recovered after drinking fish, meat and vegetable porridge for a while, and they were considered alive. They all said that after surviving this difficulty, they would still be able to live in the future.
Starting in mid-to-late June, young men in the Xiangfan area began to actively request to join the army.
The series of actions taken by the Ming army after they captured Xiangfan naturally contrasted sharply with those of the Song army.
The Song army treated them extremely cruelly.
The Ming army tried its best to treat them, resettle them, keep them alive, and give them food.
After a brief period of discomfort among the local people, and after confirming that this was not a dream or the Last Supper, they threw themselves into the arms of the Ming Dynasty.
They were grateful to the relevant personnel of the Ming Dynasty and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their gratitude. Many people said on the spot that they had left the Song Dynasty and were citizens of the Ming Dynasty from now on and had no connection with the Song Dynasty.
Since they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, they must fight for the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty says one, they will not say the other. If the Ming Dynasty says to go east, they will never go west. This life was saved by the Ming Dynasty, so it will naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty. From now on Don’t live for yourself, live for the Ming Dynasty.
Before that, some young and strong men took the initiative to plead guilty to the Ming army, expressing their hope to apologize for their irrational behavior in the city at that time.
In the street fighting stage after the city was broken, in Fancheng, some Ming troops were attacked by armed men because they were wearing Song army uniforms. The Ming troops maintained restraint and did not fight back.
Later, after a series of things happened, the people of Xiangfan fully surrendered to the Ming army. After these young men recovered, they regained their senses. Thinking of what they had done before, they felt that they had done something wrong, so they went to the Ming army, hoping to apologize to the person involved.
Wen Anzhi took some time to meet these young men, who talked to him with emotion.
"I couldn't believe that there was such a large army in the world before. Only after seeing it with my own eyes did I know that the rumors were true. The Ming army was indeed the king of the world. We were so angry that we attacked the king. The king ignored the blame and gave us medical treatment. Help reunite our families...
We never dared to think about these things before, but now they have happened, and we don’t know how to repay the army. We have no other advantages, only this life. If the army does not dislike it, we are willing to join the army and serve as the Ming Dynasty from now on. Going up mountains of swords and seas of fire, frowning, you are not a man. "
They all expressed their willingness to fight for the Ming Dynasty through swords and seas of fire. From then on, they would cut ties with the Southern Song Dynasty and become only the people of the Ming Dynasty.
