Chapter 771 The Ming army has entered the city

Someone in this hall seemed to be shouting something in the end. Those who could understand said that they would become evil spirits and would not let go..." But these words were quickly submerged in the roar of artillery.

Although the shells fired by the cannon were just iron balls and shot puts, the firing of dozens of cannons was enough to completely destroy the palace.

After the second round of artillery, there was no scream. After the second round of artillery, the entire hall began to collapse, and there was no need to bombard him. The spear soldiers of the Huwei Army and the soldiers from Jizhen who had not participated in the war finally joined the battlefield. All they had to do was to sort out the people under the ruins and make up for the ones that were not killed.

The bodies of Senggedu Gulen, Salike and the Sanniangzi were all revealed in the ruins. In the offensive and defensive battles in the palace, nearly 3,000 Tartar soldiers were killed or injured, to be precise, 3,000 people were killed in battle. This rate of death was even higher than when defending the city.

"The property in the palace and warehouses in the city are strictly guarded, and the generals and soldiers dare to extend their hands to act in military law!"

Wang Tong said this. After hearing this, Ma Yong, who was born in Datong Town, wanted to compete for the show, but hesitated and still didn't open his mouth.

The cavalry in Datong Town and the Huwei Army's cavalry were also familiar with each other. Ma Yong and Ma Sanbiao had a good relationship. It is said that the two of them were having fun and even got into relatives.

After the simple discussion was completed, the generals went out to arrange it, and Ma Yong complained privately to Ma Sanbiao: "The general is too unkind. The brothers followed him into the city hard, but the things in the palace and warehouse were not allowed to be touched. What's the point...

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Sanbiao smiled back and said, "You are so crazy. What is the commander? It's about the palace and the public treasury everywhere. There are so many rich sects in this city. Why don't you get enough of it? Why are you staring at these big heads stupidly?"

After saying this, Ma Yong from Datong Town suddenly realized it, slapped his forehead and said with a dry smile: "I didn't expect that such a figure as Da Zheng would make a fuss about words, I was confused, confused!"

Since Wang Tong led his troops out of the frontier, he has been acting frankly without any ambiguity. Today's words contain several meanings, which makes everyone who is used to being frankly fail to react for a while.

After the Ming army closed the gates of Guihua City, the battle to siege finally came to a stage. Because Guihua City is a city of herdsmen, there are also large areas of corrals in the city, with large numbers of livestock in the city, and several areas where foreign nobles are specially placed.

These open spaces were used, either to be docked at Mingmu's tillage, or to the bodies of soldiers killed by the Ming army on the other side. The weather was cold and there was no need to worry about the decay of the corpse. After a simple treatment, you could wait for arrangements.

The laborers who were these guys were not the security guards and chief men of the Huwei Army, nor were they the military soldiers of Jizhen. In fact, everyone in the Ming army, even the drivers who drove the car, picked up weapons and assisted public security in the city, and the civilians who recruited the locals began to work.

During street fighting, some buildings that the sects rely on were directly destroyed with big trees, some were directly burned by fire, and some were directly bombarded by artillery.

When fighting for life and death, we naturally don’t care about so many things, but the war stops, and these ruins must be sorted out, otherwise the army will not be mobilized smoothly and will delay major events.

These ruins were thrown outside the gap in the city wall. A simple fort was built there with abandoned bricks, stones, and earthworks. The gap will definitely be called a loophole in the city defense. It is not realistic to use rammed earth bricks and stones to repair and improve them in a short period of time, so a firearm fortification was built directly.

Four three-pound cannons and three hundred fire commanders were stationed there, and a battalion of Jizhen soldiers was also placed nearby, which was enough to prevent the enemies who assaulted in from here.

That night, the city gate to the south was opened, several fires were lit, and the civilians in the city transported the corpses of the sects out to burn them. Although the weather was cold, we should also prevent them from being plundered, and the extra money they had worked hard for the marching soldiers.

Although the main hall of the royal palace was destroyed, it is still the most suitable place for living in the naturalized city, with a closed defense, a comfortable room, and many beauties of all races.

It can also be seen that the city was broken so suddenly. Before the nobles of Altan's tribe had time to massacre their concubines, wives and daughters, because they were afraid of being humiliated by old friends, killing their relatives after being defeated almost became a tradition.

Despite all these and other benefits, Wang Tong did not make this mistake, conquering the enemy's capital and sleeping in the enemy's palace. If someone is tall and has ulterior motives, it is really not worth it.

Wang Tong still set up a commander's tent in the city. The place where he was was the original place where the Royal Palace Guard was stationed. It was spacious and the two regiments of the Tiger and Wei Army were dispatched nearby, which was very convenient.

The cavalry immediately began to repair, while the infantry had two battalions responsible for patrolling and guarding the police. The city was divided into various defense areas, guarded by Huwei Army and Jizhen Army.

A team of 100 people, the fully armed Ming army began patrolling the city, and the situation almost settled down. Sometimes there was resistance, and occasionally there were shouts of killing from somewhere, but this was not the mainstream.

The smell of burning corpses outside the city spread throughout the city. People in the military camp were used to life and death, so it didn't matter. There were big pots everywhere in the camp, and lamb and beef rolling in the pot, and the fragrance was scattered.

Most of the soldiers had a look of excitement and fatigue on their faces. For them, there was no hard battle today. They were really not tired from killing and defeated soldiers and the unresisted sect soldiers.

The fire commander and artillery are much harder, and the people on duty must be energetic. The people who change shifts and rest directly sleep in the tent or by the bonfire. The fatigue of the whole day is overturned at this time.

Wang Tong listened to the reports of military generals everywhere in his military tent. Although it was late at night, as the commander, he could not rest. Entering Guihua City did not mean that he could rest assured. Thousands of things had just begun.

Defense was arranged at several gates. Yang Jin took his men to go out to patrol everywhere. The leader lurking in the city was coming to report again.

Sanjiang Trading Company, Jinhe Trading Company, Yongsheng Trading Company and some large and small businesses are all industries of the Huwei Army system. They have been operating in Shanxi for a long time and their business with the Tartars has been ongoing. They naturally make money in the city and inquire about the news. Yesterday, they were taught the enemy to loot and loot the Han industry. However, because of this training, they had no casualties and injuries. They could come to lead the way when the army entered the city.

"Speaking of this, you are the group of people recruited by Zhang Shiqiang when I first went to Tianjin Wei, but I didn't expect to see them in Guihua City."

Wang Tong smiled and said to a young man that he had just arrived at Tianjin Wei and placed eyeliners at the homes of Bing Beidao and others in the city. Zhang Shiqiang recruited a group of young people in the capital and Tongzhou. After Wang Tong completely controlled Tianjin Wei, these young people were treated as backbones and sent to various places.

"The Grand Marshal still remembers the villain, and the villain is frightened."

The fine leader quickly stood up and answered. Wang Tong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Nothing is so scared. After you finish your business this time, you will continue to do your business. This Guihua City is a treasure land. The tribes in the west and east, the merchants in Mobei and the Ming Dynasty will do business here. Make the business bigger here. The money you earn is enough to maintain this place and it is enough for you to be rich for many lifetimes."

The fine-worked leader named Chen paused and said with thoughtful thought: "Master General means that we should promote business here and be led by our Tianjin Health Trading Company?...

"Of course, if you buy such a good place, you can't just make a fortress or something. You have to manage it well. Look at the fertile fields outside the city. Although there is only one season of harvest a year, it is already rich enough. You must do things like land deeds as soon as possible. This is the real wealth...

Wang Tong's advantage is that he is not only proficient in the economic path, but also in the military and political affairs. What he said is the most valuable thing in this naturalized city.

There are indeed many gold, silver and treasures in the city, but Guihua City itself is naturally the center of trade in various grasslands. The vast fertile fields of Tumochuan and these grasslands around Guihua City are also the real wealth. If you control these, you will naturally be in the sea of ​​gold and silver.

Moreover, these things are much more low-key than the gold, silver and wealth of the royal nobles, and almost no one will pay attention to them. The head of this fine work showed admiration on his face. Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard someone outside the military tent informing him, "The Great Marshal, the merchant of Guihua City, Niu Genzhou, led the Han people in the city to seek a visit!"

Seeing Wang Tong's eyes turn, the leader said in detail, "Niu Gengang's ancestors have already defected to the sects and are considered as a wealthy man in the city. However, although this man is in charge, he is not popular because of his identity as a Han, otherwise he would not have done the business of this businessman."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said, "I heard that yesterday the enfeoffed soldiers and plundered the Han people, and the industry in Niugenzhou was also affected. I wonder if he understood that 'not my race' would have different hearts. Let him come in with this sentence!!"

"Master, Caomin has been in the land of the sect for a long time, and his heart is on his homeland. Today, the Master led the Heavenly Army to come. Caomin and others are really happy!"

Niu Gengang knelt on the ground and said with a tone of gratitude. Wang Tong sat on the chair and looked at him with a smile. There were more than a dozen people kneeling behind Niu Gengang. They all looked at the rich and powerful figures with big belly. They should be Hanmin businessmen in the city. Wang Tong asked with a smile: "The officers and soldiers entered the city, have you ever been disturbed and lost?"

"The Tianjun has no offense, the military discipline is strict, and Caomin and others are grateful."
