The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 217 Can't Be Serious

By the time the large troops of the Restoration Army arrived outside Qiongzhou City, Li Guangyuan had successfully taken over the security of Qiongzhou City.

Li Guangyuan in armor stood in front of the Qiongzhou gentry, enjoying the compliments from the Qiongzhou gentry while preparing to meet the main force led by Zhu Hongyu.

On both sides of the road and on the city wall, there were all the soldiers of the Restoration Army in red armor!

These soldiers were very vigilant, blocking the gentry from Qiongzhou behind them, preventing them from getting close to Zhu Hongyu.

The flag of the Qing army at the top of the city has long been replaced by the twelve-pointed February flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the red-bottomed black dragon flag of the Liberation Army.

Zhu Hongyu rode a tall horse and wore a golden armor to the gate of Qiongzhou Fucheng.

The expression on his face made it impossible to see his anger at all!

The more this is the case, the more everyone can feel a sense of oppression coming to their faces.

Beside Zhu Hongyu was a personal guard in heavy armor.

In the back, there was a musketeer of the Liberation Army with a musket on his back and his steps were very neat.

Seeing Zhu Hongyu coming on horseback, Li Guangyuan hammered his chest hard with his right hand. The plate armor on his body was knocked, and there was a muffled sound.

"The final general has met His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

The recovery army on both sides of the road and at the head of the city also beat their chests in salute.

"I have seen His Highness Jian Guo!"

The big gentry simply knelt down, their foreheads touched the ground, their buttocks were raised high, and they spoke.

"I will pay my respects to His Highness Jian Guo!"

During the negotiations with Li Guangyuan, these big gentry families already knew that Zheng Chenggong was not the only one who killed Qiongzhou in this battle.

Headed by the newly established Daming State Supervisor!
Zhu Hongyu got off his horse and said.

"All soldiers are exempt!"

"All the sages in the village are exempt from courtesy!"

The soldiers of the Restoration Army put down their fists that hammered their chests, and then resumed their vigilance, staring fixedly at the landlords and gentry.

Those wealthy gentry were relieved when they heard the news, knowing that there was a high probability that their wealth and lives would be saved!
Among the crowd, the oldest Wen Liangchen got up from the ground tremblingly and said.

"My elders in Qiongzhou, in order to regain Qiongzhou and rescue us from the Qing captives, the master of the Ming Dynasty prepared a banquet and rewards of gold and silver. Please give us your honor, Your Highness Jian Guo!"

Wen Liangchen looked at Zhu Hongyu in front of him, marveling at his youth, but still acted according to the script agreed by both parties.

Zhu Hongyu came forward, grabbed Wen Liangchen's hand, and said.

"It's because our clan is incompetent. I'm sorry for the ancestors and clans, and even the mountains and rivers fell into the hands of the Qing captives."

"All the virtuous elders of the village were murdered by the Qing captives, how can we have the face to accept the rewards of the elders now?!"

Although Zhu Hongyu looked down on these grass and soft bones.

However, one cannot be too serious in life!

Although these grass and soft bones are annoying, they are still needed by the Liberation Army if they want to control Qiongzhou in a short period of time.

Besides, since people have come to welcome Master Wang, no matter what I do, I have to make a corresponding gesture and finish singing this scene.

A group of people entered Qiongzhou City.

Zhu Hongyu also wanted these people to help him stabilize the place, so he ordered to accept the rewards from these big gentry.

He knew that if he didn't accept the reward, the hearts of these wealthy gentry would not be able to settle down!

If these big gentry can't feel at ease, the whole Qiongzhou will not be stable.

Originally, Zhu Hongyu thought that after occupying Qiongzhou, he would stay in the government office of Qiongzhou.

However, at this time, the Qiongzhou government office had been cremated into scorched earth by He Wenwei.

Zhu Hongyu was in a bit of a dilemma.

I don't know whether to order the army to camp outside the city, or to simply clean up the Qiongzhou government office, just when the ruins are going up and down.

Wen Liangchen stood up and said.

"Reporting to Your Highness Jian Guo, I have a courtyard in Qiongzhou City, and I am willing to dedicate it to His Highness, so that His Highness can stay temporarily."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, as if he agreed.

……

The Ming army kept moving and continued to clear up the law and order in Qiongzhou City.

Focus on cracking down on those green-skinned gangsters who take advantage of the war to loot the city and take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhu Hongyu stayed in Wen Liangchen's other courtyard, and then ordered to prepare a large-scale reward for the army that landed in Qiongzhou.

And order people to take in the prisoners of war who were captured in this battle!
Zheng Chenggong also ordered Zheng Jun to disembark except for some people on duty on the ship, and prepare for repairs in Qiongzhou.

The soldiers below can be repaired and can receive rewards, but Zhu Hongyu is not idle at all!
There are still many things that need him to be busy after the war!
For example, review the results of the battle reported below, the captures and prisoners obtained, the casualties of one's own side, and determine the military rewards.

Review the mistakes made in this battle, prepare for the effective rule of Qiongzhou, and plan the next war strategy.

What's more, Zhu Hongyu also had to show his face at the celebration banquet.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't avoid many things!
Flipping through the report on the results of this battle in his hand, Zhu Hongyu's expression was quite relaxed.

From the naval battle to the landing battle, the Ming army almost wiped out the Qing army's garrison in Qiongzhou, and the total number of casualties before and after it was only 300.

Such a disparate casualty ratio, the Ming army vs. the Qing army, has never been fought before!
No matter from which point of view, this Qiongzhou battle can also be called a big victory.

During this battle, the Ming army also seized a large amount of cold weapons such as swords and armor, as well as a lot of gold and silver.

In other words, all the rewards given by the Qiongzhou government government to the Qing army now belong to the Guangfu army.

After all, the Qing army had become prisoners of war, so it would be nice to save their lives, and forget about money!
Zhu Hongyu personally instructed and ordered to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle.

Zheng Jun gave the cash directly, but the Guangfu Army issued vouchers.

After yawning, running around for days, and today's battle, Zhu Hongyu felt tired.

After stretching himself, the guard beside him brought him a cup of strong tea.

After taking a sip of strong tea, the bitter feeling exploded on the tip of his tongue, but it lifted his spirits.

He asked about the time, and knew that it was just nightfall, and it didn't take long for the sky to darken.

At this time, Li Guangyuan came to his door and asked to see him.

Zhu Hongyu said.

"come in!"

Li Guangyuan said.

"Your Highness, everyone at the celebration banquet is waiting for you to come forward!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Understood, lead the way ahead!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu got up from his seat and closed the document in hand.

Then, accompanied by Li Guangyuan, he walked out of the mansion and went to the largest restaurant in Qiongzhou city.

On the streets of Qiongzhou, soldiers of the Ming army are everywhere on guard.

It turned out that the servants of the government office were forced to go to work, and they yelled while posting the Anmin Announcement along the street.

"Wang Shi enters the city, the people don't worry!"

"Military discipline is strict, and there will be no disturbance to the people!"

"Buy and pay, humble and polite!"

"The four peoples are safe, and the army and the people are integrated!"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo has a decree that the Ming army will not be lightly forgiven if they disturb the people and harm the people, loot the place, and grab the women of the people by force!"

"The murderer dies, the wounding and theft are punished!"
