The battle ended before midnight.
After pacifying the city, the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag was carefully erected by the officers and soldiers again.
Outside the city, countless fires were lit.
The soldiers of the Ming army who had just finished a battle to seize the city did not rest there. Instead, they led the people of Pingding City to clean up the battlefield.
Under the city gate.
Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to go to check the casualties of the soldiers, but was stopped by a group of civilians.
The leader was the same person who deliberately knocked the rolling stone aside when he first entered the city.
Zhang Zhiyuan stopped and looked at the people blocking the city gate.
Before he could speak, the people had already knelt down.
"Thank you, General, for leading the troops and killing these damn Japanese workers."
"Commons, thank you, General."
Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands.
The soldiers around him arrived in front of the people in advance and helped him up one by one.
My general never liked this kind of thing.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the people of Pingding City, who had been under the lewd force of the Japanese bandits in the past few days, with a solemn expression: "We are Ming soldiers, and it is our duty to defend the territory. This time, the bandits in eastern Jin Dynasty harassed you, causing you all to be humiliated. , now that the thieves have been eliminated, you can live in peace."
The leading citizen walked up to Zhang Zhiyuan, his face still worried and said: "General, the county magistrate is dead, and everyone in the government office has been killed by thieves. All the soldiers and officers in the city are also dead. Outside , there are many thieves, will the general lead the army to guard the city all the time?"
All four cities in eastern Shanxi have fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates, and only Pingding City has just been rescued.
The people in the city also knew that the army would definitely go out to continue to suppress the bandits.
But these days, many homes in the city have been invaded by thieves, and people are terrified.
Zhang Zhiyuan's face was gloomy. On the street behind the city gate, there were countless corpses of the people in the city who had not had time to restrain themselves.
The first thing he did after taking Pingding City was to take people on a tour of the city.
The Japanese pirates should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
In just a few days, all the officials in Pingding City were killed. Women and children were bullied and died tragically in the county government house.
Not to mention those women in the city.
If it weren't for the Japanese bandits, we would have to be wary of the imperial troops coming to conquer and suppress them. I'm afraid the women in the city would cry when they were pacified.
As for the people who dared to complain and be dissatisfied, as long as they were seen, they would be beaten severely, and at worst, they would be cut off.
The Japanese workers who were captured by the Ming Dynasty to dig coal in Shanxi Road vented the anger that had been hidden in their hearts for many years in the past few days.
Looking at the people in front of them begging the army to stay.
Zhang Zhiyuan clenched his fists tightly.
According to the original plan, after capturing Pingding City, he would lead his headquarters directly south to Leping County.
After the imperial troops recaptured the four cities in eastern Shanxi, it did not mean that the matter was over.
We also need to divide our troops to go to various mining areas to clear out the Japanese bandits that are entrenched in the mining areas and scattered around.
"General."
The deputy general led his people and rushed over from the city. He just heard the people's invitation and couldn't help but frowned and shouted next to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan raised his hands and looked at the people in front of him solemnly: "Everyone, although the thieves in Pingding City have been put to death. However, there are still several thieves from the north of the city in the east of Jin Dynasty who have stolen the property. The general's military order is to completely wipe out the thieves in the east of Jin Dynasty.
I will also be aware of the invitations from all the fellow villagers. It's just that the army still has military orders, so it is difficult to garrison Pingding City. Originally, a thousand people would be left to garrison the city, waiting for the army to set out early tomorrow morning.
You don’t have to worry. After noon tomorrow, or at dusk at the latest, His Highness King Yan will rush to Pingding City with his army. "
"His Royal Highness King Yan is coming too?"
The people were surprised when they heard that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was far away in Peiping, also came with his troops.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at these people who had been humiliated in just a few days, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
After several more attempts at appeasement, the people were persuaded to disperse.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan looked inside and outside the city gate.
"Instruct the whole army to act according to the order. After handling the affairs of pacifying Dingzhou, rest on the spot. Tomorrow morning we will bury the pots and make rice and set off south to Leping County."
The deputy general was shocked.
Commander Zhang's military order had been issued long ago.
All Japanese bandits, whether dead or alive, were killed and buried.
But after seeing the scene in Pingding City with their own eyes, no one would think there was anything wrong with such a military order.
The military order was quickly circulated to the entire army again.
In the night.
The people of Pingding City, who could not rest, looked at the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and began to urge the surrendered Japanese bandits to dig holes outside the city in places where there was no sunlight.
From time to time, the horse whip would hit the Japanese thieves who were slacking off in digging holes.
The surrounding Ming army officers and soldiers showed no mercy in their eyes.
Under the hard work of the Ming army soldiers, within half an hour, a huge hole was dug by the Japanese bandits who had surrendered.
"Throw all the corpses in."
Zhang Zhiyuan's deputy general personally supervised the work and gave orders.
Under the new round of supervision by the officers and soldiers, the Japanese bandits began to throw the corpses of their companions that had been collected by the soldiers and civilians in the city and moved outside the city into the pit.
This time it took even less time.
It was only a quarter of an hour.
When the Japanese pirates felt that their work was done, they only needed to refill the hole with soil.
The deputy general's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly: "You guys, go in too."
There were Japanese pirates who understood the Mandarin of the Central Plains, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Daming wants to trap and kill them alive!
There was a chirping sound that the officers and soldiers present could not understand.
The Japanese thieves gradually understood, fear and anger showed in their eyes, and they began to boldly roar at the officers and soldiers.
The deputy general's face turned cold, and he was about to order the officers and soldiers to advance.
Zhang Zhiyuan has already arrived here on horseback.
On horseback, Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the Japanese bandits who were beginning to appear in confusion, and immediately pulled out his long sword.
"Press up! Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot!"
Following the general's order, the officers and soldiers immediately showed their swords and guns.
"kill!"
Outside the city, the war was settled, but the Ming army's shouts of killing were heard again.
The sword and shield soldiers are still in front and the spear soldiers are behind.
Around the big pit here, it began to shrink forward.
The Japanese bandits never thought that the Ming army would be so determined, and they became more and more crowded in panic.
Not long after, someone standing by the pit stumbled and fell into the pit.
"kill!"
The officers and soldiers continued to shout kill in unison.
Those Japanese pirates who dared not retreat were soon attacked and killed by the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers.
In the dark night.
The wails of the Japanese pirates began to sound. Under the pressing steps of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, people kept falling into the pit.
The officers and soldiers walked steadily.
Even the Japanese bandits who fell to the ground could not delay their progress.
Zhang Zhiyuan sat high on the horse and watched everything in front of him quietly, not even noticing that the deputy general was approaching.
The deputy general frowned slightly as he listened to the wails of the Japanese bandits who continued to fall into the pit. He looked up at Zhang Zhiyuan on horseback and whispered: "General, if you kill like this, will the general incur slander from the civil servants of the DPRK?" "
"Huh?" Only then did Zhang Zhiyuan realize that the deputy general was beside him, and he looked down at the deputy general: "Did I do something wrong?"
"This..." the deputy general hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but remind him: "The benevolence and righteousness of the country, even during the Northern Expedition in the Yuan Dynasty, there was rarely such a thing that could kill and surrender the soldiers. It was also the case that the Japanese were brought here in the past years. In order to dig coal mines and save the suffering of the people of our country.
The general's entrapment and killing of the soldiers may have caused the civil servants of the court to feel that the general's murderous nature would increase the bloodshed, which was inconsistent with the benevolence and righteousness of the court. "
Zhang Zhiyuan sneered: "Our army was ordered to wipe out the Japanese bandits and annihilate all the bandit troops. We stayed late at night and dug holes to bury the corpses of the bandits so that they could be buried safely and not spread an epidemic to the local area. Isn't our army doing benevolent and righteous things? Isn't it benevolent and righteous? Teacher?"
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and the surprised look on his face was clearly revealed.
Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at the deputy general lightly.
"You say yes or no?"
The lieutenant general nodded blankly: "What the general said is absolutely true."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said softly: "What the central committee of the capital discusses is their business. As military generals, we should know that everything should be based on military orders. How to make the commander's military orders run smoothly is what we should do Things to think about.
As for North Korea and China? Let me give an explanation to those civil servants who don't know how heavy swords and guns are, or how heavy soldiers carry, and that's it. "
The deputy general nodded in understanding, turned around and gave the order again, urging the officers and soldiers to speed up.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.
He didn't say anything yet.
That is, Taisun was the person who disliked Japanese people the most in the Ming Dynasty.
If not, it would be impossible to find a Japanese within a thousand miles in Yingzhou today.
Even if there are, according to the information Zhang Zhiyuan got, they are all Japanese women.
As for the use...
Zhang Zhiyuan is reluctant to recall.
He could only say that Tie Xuan was too crazy.
When he thought of Tie Xuan, Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts couldn't help but be stretched.
According to the news from the court, this time the two princes from the Southern and Eastern Expeditions returned to Beijing to be promoted to princes, and Tie Xuan would probably return to Beijing together.
He already has the job of walking in the Wenhua Palace and the job of the Ministry of War. If nothing goes wrong, he will either join the cabinet or preside over the Ministry of War.
Tie Xuan, this crazy guy, is going back to Beijing.
Whenever Zhang Zhiyuan thinks about this matter, he becomes more curious about the changes in the DPRK situation in the near future.
Just when Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts were racing.
The Japanese bandits in front have all been driven into the pit by the officers and soldiers.
At this time, the people under the city wall finally understood the intentions of the officers and soldiers.
No need to be summoned.
The people quickly rushed over spontaneously with shovels and rakes.
"Gentlemen, take a rest."
"I'll just do this little thing."
"The common people don't know how to do other things, but dealing with the land is something they are most familiar with."
Being able to personally bury the Japanese thieves who had ruined Pingding City made the people in the city extremely happy.
The generals at the pit looked at Zhang Zhiyuan with inquiring eyes.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the scene and was surrounded by people, and more people were coming from the city.
He nodded immediately.
immediately.
The crowd burst into cheers.
The soil that was dug out began to be filled back into the pit.
The officers and soldiers of the Ma Army Camp who were already ready on the side had not yet started working, and their horses stepped on the backfilled holes.
Then some people started to hold Shi Luo aside.
The simple people of the Ming Dynasty still gave reasons that were difficult to refute.
For leveling the land, nothing can be as effective as a stone roller.
Faced with the common people's reasons, no one can find fault.
The people of Ming Dynasty are the ones who are most familiar with the land.
Towards the end of the period, the army began to rest.
Halfway through Yinshi, the army began to march southward to Leping County along the official road under the watchful eyes of the people in the city.
Over three days.
At the top of Shouyang City, a military report was delivered to Zhu Yunxi through military and horse scouts.
Zhu Yunxi, who was wearing soft armor, lowered his head to read the military report and handed it over to Cao Zhen and others beside him.
Several military generals were silent after reading the military report.
Cao Zhen actually laughed twice: "The little God of Killing is indeed a little God of Killing. Originally, when I read the military reports of the Governor's Mansion, I often saw his reputation. At first I thought it was just the people in Beiping who made him famous. When I saw it today, I took it seriously. It’s me, the Little Killer God of Ming Dynasty!”
"All the Japanese bandits in Pingding Prefecture and Leping County were trapped and killed by Zhang Zhiyuan, and his troops have been divided into various mining areas in eastern Shanxi to clean them up. He commanded his headquarters to rush to Meng County, in order to continue to kill the Japanese bandits in Meng County. "
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dark.
Cao Zhen thought that the emperor's grandson was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Zhiyuan's move.
He immediately said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. I think Zhang Zhiyuan made this decision in order to prevent the army from being surrendered by the Japanese bandits and delaying the military flight. The minister was a little surprised that His Highness King Yan would personally lead the troops into Shanxi."
Finally, Cao Zhen changed the topic.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked up to the northeast of Shouyang City.
According to the military reports of the past two days, my fourth uncle has probably surrounded Meng County with troops.
It should be Zhang Zhiyuan's blessing.
He could ask the clan kings of the Ming Dynasty to surround the city with their troops, waiting for them to lead the troops and receive their military exploits.
As for the fourth uncle coming to Shanxi Road, Zhu Yunxi was indeed a little surprised.
The imperial court had strict prohibitions, but the fourth uncle was able to ignore the prohibitions and lead troops south to Shanxi.
If it wasn't that he was here to put down a rebellion, or that he had sealed the country without authorization, he could be convicted by the court.
As for Cao Zhen talking about this matter at this time...
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at the other party: "The army compiled the report and submitted it to Yingtian. He said that under the turmoil in Shanxi Road, the Japanese pirates rebelled. They were numerous and widely distributed. To protect the safety of the Jin people, the army did what they did. The orders are all aimed at quickly suppressing the unrest."
This is the emperor's grandson personally covering up and killing Japanese pirates for Zhang Zhiyuan.
Cao Zhen nodded: "Wei Bi went to the northwest to quell the turmoil, and officials from Shanxi Prefecture south of Taiyuan Prefecture also went south with troops. His Highness's northern tour was originally intended to discuss mutual trade with Wala and inspect the border. But it's just that the current situation is deep. In winter, the roads are covered with snow. Should Your Highness stay in Taiyuan, or..."
The greatest danger on the Shanxi Road was when we were in Taiyuan City before reinforcements arrived and were occupied by rebels such as Changsun Gong and Li Wenxiang.
After the birthday banquet of King Zhu Fang of the First Jin Dynasty, Taiyuan City was occupied by the imperial troops and the rebels were eliminated. The situation in Shanxi Road was completely turned around.
As for the current Japanese rebellion, for Shanxi Road where the army is gathering at the moment, it is just a matter of time.
In fact, no one mentioned during the whole process that Henan soldiers or the closer Datong soldiers would be mobilized to participate in countering the rebellion.
Zhu Yunxi opened his arms and slapped them on the city wall.
"Reorganize Shouyang City, gather troops and horses, it's time for me to go see my fourth uncle."
