Anti Qing

Chapter 75 Looting (please order first!)
The big black banner had already been set up in the earthen village. Under the flag, Li Zijing stopped and watched, the shouts of killing gradually weakened in his ears.

This is not a battle at all. The scale of this Chen family village is very small, and most of the so-called servants who hold knives and guns to resist have hardly received any training.

Throwing away the knives and guns, they are nothing but a group of hooligans. It is okay to bully the honest people. When they meet the regular army, they can only be crushed.

Even the ordinary soldiers of the former battalion are all uniformly dressed. From fighting will to armaments, they are not comparable to these local ruffians.

Facing Wu Zhaosheng's attack, the defense of Tuzhai collapsed almost instantly.

There was indeed nothing interesting about this battle. The reason why Li Zijing asked Wu Zhaosheng and Hao Yaoqi to lead the army separately was because he wanted to see their choices.

After entering the Tuzhai, Wu Zhaosheng immediately issued a military order. Although there were sporadic indiscriminate killings, they were quickly stopped.

Most of the local soldiers who surrendered survived, but the head of the Chen family died in the chaos.

His wives and concubines who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape have also been captured, and under the fierce eyes of several elite cavalry, they shivered together and kept trembling.

Li Zijing lowered his eyebrows and took a look, and found that these women were surrounded by scattered jewelry, and they were indeed pretty.

Even from the perspective of modern people, these panic-stricken Chen family wives and concubines are more eye-catching than those Internet celebrities who live in beauty in later generations.

But Li Zijing didn't care about it, he just glanced at it and then closed his eyes.

Life is not completely out of danger, so how can you care about your children's personal relationship?
"General Zhi, how do you arrange these people?"

Wu Zhaosheng put away his saber, walked up to Li Zijing, and made a fist-cup salute respectfully.

Li Zijing turned his head to stare, and found that the rest of the people in the earth village had been restrained in one place and only obeyed his orders.

"General Ma, it's not easy to rebuild Longju Village, and His Majesty doesn't have any extra supplies for you, so the supplies and personnel of these two villages will be handed over to you."

"How to use them to rebuild Longju Village is up to you."

Ma Shitai was taken aback, feeling really sorry in his heart, and said repeatedly.

"What an embarrassment. Without the assistance of King Chuang's front battalion, the two earthen villages would not be able to deal with them in ten days and a half months."

"When King Xiao Chuang leaves, please bring what you can take with you, and don't refuse anymore."

Li Zijing glanced around, and slightly exerted his hand on the bridle.

It's not the same thing if you don't take anything after fighting two battles. Li Zijing wanted to agree, but the soldiers in the front battalion would not agree either.

What's more, if you go to Xiangyang, you also need start-up funds. You can take some away to reward the army, or you can keep it in Xiangyang.

After pondering for a while, Li Zijing still nodded.

"That's fine too."

Seeing this, Ma Shitai finally felt relieved.

If Li Zijing doesn't take anything, he always feels that he owes too much.

In this attack on the Chenjia Tuzhai, none of Wu Zhaosheng's more than 3000 Qing troops were killed, and more than [-] people were injured.

Of course, there are not many people in the village who can shoot arrows, and they don't have any heavy weapons. Most of these people were hit by the arrows on the mountain.

There are also a few people who have scratches on the outside of the skin caused by stepping on the ground, slipping and bumping.

When he returns to the army, he will be fine if he is bandaged by the doctor accompanying the army.

While the two were talking, Yiqi suddenly came running down the mountain.

But when he saw that it was a fine cavalry wearing a black arrow suit, he said immediately.

"Report to General Zhi, the flag officer has captured the water and dry dock!"

Li Zijing nodded slightly, and rode away.

Thirty riders followed behind, their manes flying and smoke billowing up.

Ma Shitai looked at Li Zijing's back with a little curiosity on his face, then turned around and ordered his subordinates to sort out the supplies.

As for capturing the hundreds of people in the Chen family village, he had his own arrangements.

From Chenjiazhai to the water and land wharf on the east side of the original city of Longjuzhai, it takes about four miles. After descending the mountain, although there are high mountains and mountains along the way, the official road is still smooth.

Traveling from the inland, there was no worry about the enemy setting up an ambush. Li Zijing and his party all rode horses, and within an hour, they arrived at the second battlefield.

Li Zijing frowned slightly when he arrived at the water and drought dock.

The flood and dry wharf in Longjuzhai was born from the north-south water transport, and has now developed into a huge commercial hub in the mainland.

Outside the pier at this moment, there are many large and small ships moored, among which merchant ships are the main ones, and most of them are subordinate to local ship gangs.

It's just that there are more or less a lot of corpses on these ships, and there are also a lot of cargo floating on the water.

"Isn't the war over? Why are there still shouts of killing?"

The Jingqi stared blankly, then smiled.

"The general Zhi misunderstood, it is the flag officer who is cleaning the battlefield."

Clean up the battlefield?

Li Zijing stared forward and only heard the screams and shouts of killing in the water and dry dock. He rode his horse in to have a look, and only then did he discover the problem.

The air in the flood and dry wharf was filled with the smell of blood several times stronger than that of Chenjiazhai. The soldiers of the front battalion were searching for supplies everywhere.

Li Zijing suddenly understood why Hao Yaoqi had been a flag officer after working for so many years.

Why did he not be taken seriously in the Chinese army? This time Wu Zhaosheng and Hao Yaoqi led the troops out, and the handling after the war can be said to be very different.

Wu Zhaosheng immediately ordered the surrender to avoid death, controlled all supplies and prisoners, and waited for his own arrangement.

For some unknown reason, Hao Yaoqi led the former battalion to plunder at the water and dry dock.

It wasn't just the landlords and boat gangs that were robbed, many stalls were kicked over, and even the merchants and hawkers near the water and dry docks were also robbed.

In Li Zijing's eyes, the soldiers in the front battalion are no different from those rogues who robbed their homes.

There were shouts and chaos everywhere.

In Li Zijing's impression, the Dashun Army should have completely got rid of this bad habit of looting and killing indiscriminately after the war a long time ago.

Back in Beijing, Li Zicheng issued repeated orders, ordering the Dashun army to prohibit looting after entering the city, and promulgated strict military regulations.

The Dashun Army has always done the same, and it is rare for them to plunder places.

Since Li Zijing crossed, it was the first time he saw the Dashun army looting places.

If you give people this kind of image outside, is this still called a rebel army, is this still called doing justice for the sky?
Of course, this wasn't just Hao Yaoqi's problem. Li Zijing had never explicitly prohibited looting before.

It's time to take this opportunity and set a new rule for them.

We must completely put an end to the trend of rogues!

Li Zijing's tone was low, and there was no joy on his face after the victory.

"Pass on the general's military order."

"All the members of my former battalion, stop killing and looting immediately, and all surrenders and supplies will be handed over to the garrison for custody."

The Jingqi saw the displeasure on Li Zijing's face, and was startled, although he didn't know where the taboo was violated, he hurriedly left with his fists in his arms.

Not long after, Hao Yaoqi, with an excited face, rushed back with a knife in his hand.

He didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, he grinned.

"General Zhi, you are here!"

"What kind of boat gang? It's just a group of mobs who can't help fighting!"

Li Zijing's eyes moved slightly, looking him up and down.

The black arrow jacket on Hao Yaoqi's body was already stained blacker by blood, and the goose-wing knife he was carrying was also covered in blood.

Li Zijing didn't just get angry right here, but endured the anger in his heart, and spoke in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Send the order to hand over the flood and dry dock to Ma Shitai immediately."

With that said, Li Zijing turned and left.

"Promotion! Military discussion!"

　Please make the first order, there will be two more later.
