The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 310
In the original history, Kong Youde was fully prepared and took away more than 300 various artillery pieces, and countless other firearms. In addition to firecrackers and other portable ones, there were also a small number of other artillery pieces on warships, especially Hongyi cannons. The general's gun and others were all captured by Wang Weizhong.

There was also a large amount of firearms and supplies, but they did not come in time to take them away. Kong Youde mainly took away people and gold and silver things.

Dengzhou has been guarded for so long in history because a lot of gunpowder materials were hoarded here in the Yuanhua era, and now they are all occupied by Ding Yi.

Ding Yi can't be blamed, because the rest of the ministries don't pay much attention to firearms at the moment, even if they occupy them, they can't take them away. It's too troublesome to transport Hongyi cannons. Only Wu Sangui thinks of guns.

Ding Yi also surrendered [-] troops after the war. Because there were too many surrendered troops, even Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses were called by him to guard the prisoners.

In fact, at the beginning, he only took his own and Xu's surrendered troops, but he didn't know who it was, and whispered to the outside world that Ding Yi offered five coins, silver, armor and weapons in exchange for one of his surrendered troops.

Originally all the generals wanted to chop off their heads for money, but now everyone understands that firstly, the court has no money, secondly, the heads of the rebels are worthless, and thirdly, after winning the battle, it is impossible to kill them again .

Ding Yi offered five coins for each soldier, and was willing to exchange all kinds of armor and weapons for the soldiers, and the price was quite good.

For example, a piece of cotton armor and a knife are worth at least three or four taels.

Even if some don't have cotton armor, mandarin duck shirts are still money.

So after the war, the generals from all walks of life brought their surrendered troops to exchange things, money, supplies, and horses and mules with Ding Yi.

Because Ding Yi also robbed thousands of horse mules.

Originally, Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian were the last to deal with the surrender, but both of them took advantage of Ding Yi. Ding Yi also said that Dengzhou was in chaos, and a thousand things were waiting to be done. These surrendered troops can be used to rebuild the city and stockpile Tian resumed business.

Both of them felt that it made sense, not to mention that they received Ding Yi's money, so they both turned a blind eye.

In this way, Ding Yi exchanged half of the mules and a large number of armored weapons for the soldiers.In the end, a total of [-] soldiers were received.

Among them, there was almost no money. That night, Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo organized soldiers and horses, first selected the soldiers from Liaodong, and got [-] soldiers and horses.

The rest of the armies were all soldiers from the Ming army who were defeated by Kong Youde and some civilians who had been conscripted temporarily.

Ding Yi ordered that no matter whether it was the Liaodong soldiers or other Ming troops, all above the general should be beheaded, and they were all beheaded that night.

Xu Fuzou was on the side at that time, his face changed slightly when he heard this.

A few days ago, they told the Dongjiang people not to fight the Dongjiang people. As a result, when they surrendered, they chopped off all the people above the general manager.

He has always regarded Ding Yi as a brother and friend, and now he can faintly feel Ding Yi's majesty, which is even more terrifying than Yuan Chonghuan's back then.

It didn't take long for Ding Yi's order to spread, and the soldiers outside reported to Wang Weizhong to see him.

Ding Yi summoned Wang Weizhong.

As soon as Wang Weizhong came in, he knelt down without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Ding Yi looked at him strangely.

"Master Ding, I——" It turned out that Wang Weizhong wanted to ask Ding Yi for a favor.

This time Ding Yi was going to kill more than the general, but after Wang Weizhong pulled out the person who was going to be cut, he unexpectedly met a cousin Wang Weiguo who hadn't seen him for many years.

The two grew up together in the village, and when the Tartars entered the village, Wang Weiguo ran away first, and their family ran away later.

Wang Weiguo later went to Phi Island, and Wang Weizhong first went to Yizhou and then to Xu Dabao.

Goodbye for many years, but I didn't expect to cut off his head.

Wang Weizhong begged for mercy on behalf of Wang Weiguo, and said that Wang Weiguo was determined to kill the Tartars, but he was coerced.

Of course, he probably knew that he shouldn't do this, so he knelt there in fear.

After listening to Ding Yi, he thought for a while: "You call him in and let me have a look."

Then someone called Lu Chao over.

Lu Chao has always been in charge of the work of the Dengzhou Intelligence Department, and Ding Yi brought him here this time because he had something to do.

Wang Weizhong was overjoyed, got up quickly, and brought Wang Weiguo in after a while.

Wang Weiguo looks similar to Wang Weizhong in appearance, a bit simple and honest, and tall and strong.

Seeing Ding Yi, he immediately knelt down and called himself a sinner.

Ding Yi said slowly: "You have to think about it clearly. If I let him go, he will fall into the grass and become a bandit, or he will rebel again. What should I do?"

Wang Weizhong immediately said: "Then I don't have the face to see you again, I have to die to thank you."

Wang Weiguo's face was flushed red: "I swear, I will never rebel again, even if I die, I will not harm brother Zhong."

"How can I trust you?" Ding Yi asked.

Lu Chao who just came in also said: "Brother Wei Zhong is an honest man, we don't know you well."

Wang Weiguo was stunned for a while, his face turned red, and then he murmured: "Brother Zhong knows me."

Wang Weizhong nodded again and again: "He is an honest man just like me."

Ding Yi got up, walked around, and finally stopped: "Both of you get up."

The two didn't dare to move, so Lu Chao went straight over and pulled them up.

"Lord Ding?" Wang Weizhong asked with red eyes.

"It's okay if I let you go, but you can do something for me." Ding Yi said.

"I am willing." Wang Weiguo was overjoyed: "Lord Ding, spare my life, I will be Lord Ding's man from now on." Kneeling down again, he kowtowed a few times.

Ding Yi thought to himself, this person is dishonest, much more slippery than Wang Weizhong, but for Wang Weizhong's sake, he can try it, and it doesn't matter if he fails.

That night, Wang Weiguo fled with less than 200 of his former cronies, and the Ming army knew nothing about it.

After they escaped, they first found a mountain nest and went in, and did not come out until the court army had withdrawn.

Then Ding Yi summoned Liaodong troops and walked into the camp.

The soldiers gathered around one after another, and some people were already scared, for fear of being massacred.

"General Ding, you said that Dongjiang people don't fight Dongjiang people." Someone shouted from the side.

"General Ding, we knew we were wrong and shouldn't have rebelled." Some people also quickly admitted their mistakes.

Ding Yi looked at Zhujun, and suddenly said with a sad expression: "Brothers, I remember that I lived in Zhenjiang when I was a child. I was only 12 years old, and the later Jin Tartars suddenly invaded—"

"They are cruel and brutal, killing everyone they see, killing our parents and mothers, and humiliating our sisters and sisters --- oh, I swore at that time that when I grow up, I will fight the Tartars in blood, and Houjin, and never die --- To avenge our Liao people—"

Ding Yi said sadly, talking as he walked, all the Liaodong soldiers bowed their heads in shame, and many people also sobbed when they thought of what happened in their hometown.

The crowd didn't know who it was, anyway, it was dark at night, and they suddenly burst into tears and knelt down: "General Ding, we were wrong."

"We shouldn't rebel, we shouldn't beat our own people, if we have the ability, we should kill the Empress Jin Tartars—wow—" The loud voice sounded very much like Zhao Dashan, who was selected from Wang Weizhong's battalion. rushed in with the prisoners of war.

Then the extras knelt down everywhere in the crowd, and many of them also cried and confessed.

Master Ding, we were wrong, we wanted to go back to Phi Island to fight the empress Jin Tartar.

Give us a chance.

Soon all Liaodong soldiers knelt down and cried bitterly.

In the barracks that night, there were people everywhere who passed on what happened to Lord Ding's hometown Zhenjiang. Many Liao soldiers were ashamed and wept, vowing to return to Liaodong to fight the Tartars.

Some people also said sarcastic and unpleasant words, but most of them were taken away when they were divided into camps the next day and never came back.

Because when Ding Yi collected the surrendered troops, he selected more than 100 old brothers from Wang Weizhong's battalion to mix into the surrendered troops, and specially picked out veterans and assassins.

The next day, after more than 500 Liao soldiers were disrupted, they were temporarily assigned to the camps of Wang Weizhong and Yan Xiong.

On the day of entering the camp, each person will be paid one tael of the current month's salary in advance, and another shimi will be paid later.

The soldiers who surrendered were all ecstatic, and everyone praised Lord Ding for his benevolence.

These surrendered soldiers suddenly changed, and began to escort other surrendered soldiers to repair and build the city in Dengzhou, and restore order. Many felt like a dream, but they believed that following Master Ding was the best choice, so that they could fight back to their hometown.

Especially these days, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are bragging all day long, recovering Fuzhou and Jinzhou, this is a major event that the Liao people will never forget.
