The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 403 Stunned
The defenders, who were knocked out of their wits by the sudden attack, began to surrender, and the number gradually increased. Shang Muming and Ruan Dan immediately organized the surrendering troops and arranged for them to speak out through the interpreter sent by the Guangnan Kingdom.

The content is, of course, to surrender to avoid death and resist a dead end. The army of this country is relatively poor, not only low in combat effectiveness but also weak in willpower. In fact, most Buddhist countries do not have a strong army. Only Japan has a Bushido spirit which is an alternative.

Soon there were military officers who led the troops to surrender in an organized way. It was more effective to use the military officers to persuade others to surrender again. By noon, the city lost its resistance, and the whole city surrendered without exception.

There is no military power in Southeast Asia. The French who used hot weapons swept Southeast Asia more than 100 years later and did not have many soldiers. They fought like a broken bamboo all the way until they were stopped in China.

The so-called strong cities in the Middle Ages lost their former glory under the fire of hot weapons and artillery, and the defense of the city was not as effective as the defense of crisscross trenches.

Of course, the level of the general who defends the city is very important. In history, the military hero Shi Kefa guarded Yangzhou, a strong city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. .

The Manchu army had almost no sharp firearms, such as Huang's field artillery, flintlock rifles, etc., and most of the people who attacked Yangzhou were surrendered troops and belonged to mobs.

Sometimes people who stand on the moral high ground may not be talented. Although they are high-spirited and upright, they are a disaster rather than a blessing to the country and the nation.

The Guangnan army besieging the city on the south, north, and west sides of Xialiao knew that the Ming army was attacking the city today, and they also received orders from General Ruan Fukang to cooperate with the attack.

Ruan Fukang is the king's confidant general, also a member of the royal family, and Ruan Fuyuan's cousin. He doesn't think that the Ming army will easily take down Liaocheng, and thinks that today should be a tentative attack.

Therefore, the order he issued to cooperate with the attack was perfunctory, and the order was not firm. The generals of Guangnan Kingdom discounted it when they executed it.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers and civilians of Guangnan Kingdom were stunned. They found that when they woke up, the head of Xialiao city had changed to the king's flag, and the red "Ming" flags were fluttering on the head of the city.

The generals desperately rubbed their eyes thinking they were dazzled, but everything in front of them was not an illusion, but a real existence. They all had chills on their backs. The fighting power of the Ming army was too terrifying. How did they do it?

The Ming army in Xialiao City was very busy, not busy killing people and setting fire, but busy collecting gold, silver, treasures, pearls and agates.

Ruan Dan and Shang Muming spread the word among the soldiers and civilians in Xialiao City. It is the soldiers and officials of Lancang Kingdom who are of Han descent who can understand Chinese. They all came to report that the powerful army of the motherland is coming. Daming welcomes you to take your family home with you. .

Soon more than 300 people came, many of them were officials from the Lancang Kingdom. Huang Sheng met with a few Chinese who could speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, comforted them, and arranged for them to go to publicity. The motherland who can speak Chinese does not dislike them, and takes them home in the same way.

This time the number tripled to more than 700. Most of them were officials and businessmen, and there were very few common people. This is normal. Because the Chinese in Southeast Asia are harder and smarter than the locals, they often live better than most of the aborigines.

Therefore, the main reason for every Chinese exclusion in Southeast Asia is that the Chinese have wealth but no force, and the wealth accumulated in the end will be snatched away by the rioting natives and they will lose their lives.

Huang Sheng knows that it is debatable whether these 700 people are really of Han descent, but this is not important. At this time, they think they are Han, and they will be brought to work and live in the Huang family system for a few years.

The Huang family needs a large number of Chinese who used to live in Southeast Asia to work, and these people will become guides and translators when they seize Southeast Asia.

Those who claimed to be of Han descent would have their property preserved. This regulation alone excited many people, and they immediately stood on the side of the Ming army to assist the Ming army in confiscating their property.

On the second day, all the belongings that could be found had been loaded into the car, but Huang Sheng was not satisfied with such a result at all. The next step was to learn the trick of the wedding dress king Li Duyan - copy pay.

After being reported by the Han people, the dignitaries, wealthy businessmen in Xialiao City were given special care, and jars filled with gold buried in the ground were dug out continuously. This place was often attacked by enemy countries, and the rich people all bought properties in Xialiao City. Hiding one's wealth is a compulsory course for every rich man.

There are no banks here, and almost none of them hide gold at home, because this country is different from Ming Dynasty, they love gold, and of course the standard of wealth is measured by how much gold they own.

This is an occupying country with no people of its own, and everyone is an enemy. Huang Sheng is not a moral gentleman, he is a naked villain. No matter who he is, all precious metals must be handed over.

It doesn't matter if you are reluctant to part with wealth, let's see if they want money but not life?
If they are thirsty or hungry, they will talk for two days. If they have not understood how there is no way to have eggs under the nest, and are willing to give up their lives and money, then the Ming army will help them.

Later, it was discovered that as long as they were not given water for a long time, someone would immediately take out gold and silver treasures to buy water to drink. What should I do if I don’t have these things?Wouldn't they really want to die of thirst and hunger?

No, God has the virtue of loving life, Huang Sheng is very kind, and will always give people opportunities.They can report neighbors' property for water and food!Only one day later, the same kind of bite appeared, and there were no more secrets at all.

Whistleblowers emerge one after another, the person who was informed was hurt and began to fight back, and the informer was informed again, and repeated several cycles, morality disappeared, and there was no binding force at all.

Huang Sheng didn't care if the enemy was moral or not. He only noticed that the carts of gold were dazzling, as if he saw hundreds of fleets crossing the vast Pacific Ocean to conquer South and North America.

The Ming army was stationed in Xialiao City. No one from Guangnan Kingdom dared to ask questions, and no one dared to talk about the [-]% of the spoils. This is the benefit of having a strong military force. Others have to obey and dare not disobey.

After seven days of salary checks, the soldiers of the Huang family thought that there was no more oil and water to come to an end. There was 10,000+ shi of grain in Xialiao City. .

The rest were given to the soldiers and civilians who surrendered according to the head. As for whether the Guangnan National Army entered the city and robbed the food, Huang Sheng didn't know and couldn't care.

This is where Huang Sheng's viciousness comes in. He eats a big stick first, and finally throws down a bunch of carrots. It is estimated that the surrendered troops and civilians in Xialiao will soon find that the Ming army is too merciful, much better than the vicious Guangnan army.

Because the soldiers and civilians in Xialiao had no precious metals but had a lot of food, the Guangnan Kingdom, as the occupiers, probably would not let the food go. If they robbed the gold and silver treasures, they would not kill people, but if the food was robbed, many people would starve to death.

More than 1 people ate up all the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep in the entire city. In fact, more than a dozen war elephants were captured.

When the Ming army retreated, they not only took away 22 families of Han descent, but also selected more than [-] healthy women aged [-] to [-] to take back.
