When Zhalari left, Zhao Xusheng looked at Wu Zhiying speechlessly. "Wu Zhiying, Wu Guerrilla, when is this now, where is this place? What should I say and what should not be said, don't you understand? Besides, what kind of person Zhalari is, don't you know? You really have gained the ability to exert anger on him."

Wu Zhiying looked ugly, "My general just couldn't bear to see him talking for Manlu."

Zhao Xusheng waved his hand and stopped him from saying to the bottom. "I know you are angry and wish you could kill all the Jurchens. But the Manchus occupied Liaodong for a long time. If we want to recover Liaodong at the lowest cost, we must not only fight against them in terms of military strength, but also fight against them in terms of the people's hearts. There are many other tribes around Xiuyan City, and there are few Han people. At present, our army has many soldiers here, and we can still suppress them. If the army leaves in the future, how can we ensure that they do not rebel? Killing them all is easy, but the subsequent impact is too great, which is really not advisable. We should be very cautious in handling these things, and we should not have a gap with our colleagues for foreign affairs."

Wu Zhiying was silent for a moment and bowed to apologize: "I realized that I was wrong."

Zhao Xusheng's face relaxed slightly, nodded slightly, turned around and took out a Tang newspaper from the desk, and handed it to him, "You have made great contributions to the capture of Xiuyan City this time. This is a war report written by Li Dingliao, which ranks the same as the military achievements of his generals Gao Shilin and Lan Zhide. With this great contribution, plus the previous ones, it should be enough to move you to the general of the party. I will write this letter of protection, what do you want?"

Wu Zhiying was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Li Ding's Congress would ask for me for me, and he didn't expect that Zhao Xusheng was willing to recommend him. His face was excited, "I thanked the general."

Zhao Xusheng waved his hand, "This is what you deserve. Whether you succeed or not depends on the governor. But to ensure this, you have to work hard and make some more military achievements."

Wu Zhiying quickly understood, "Please give me advice."

Zhao Xusheng said: "There is a place forty miles southeast of Xiuyan City, called Huangqi Fort. Originally, there were only 200 soldiers stationed, and the chief general was a Han general named Zhang Shengcai, which was not worth mentioning. However, the Qing army was defeated and he did not leave. Instead, he took the opportunity to collect Qing army's defeated troops and strengthen his strength. So far, there are more than 2,000 people, most of them are Qing soldiers who are good at fighting. He gave up Huangqi Fort and led these people to the nearby mountains, and held on the dangerous side. I sent someone to find him, wanting to surrender him to try to save trouble. But Zhang Shengcai actually wanted to keep his existing army and wanted me to appoint him as a guerrilla general."

Wu Zhiying was shocked and thought to himself that Zhang Youcai was really a big face. He had been a guerrilla general for so long. Why is he a surrender?

Zhao Xusheng continued: "Not only that, Zhang Youcai was trying to force me to agree, probably to show his strength! He actually sent someone to attack our army's grain transport team, robbed a lot of food, and killed and injured more than 20 people. He was so unaware of advancing and retreating that he could not tolerate him."

Wu Zhiying said calmly: "General, what should you do if you want me?"

Zhao Xusheng said: "The scouts I sent out have already explored his situation and knew that there was a small path that could lead directly to the back mountain for sneak attacks. Take your cavalry with you! Set off immediately and wipe him out. It is best to bring the prisoners back to me before the matter here is over."

Wu Zhiying hugged her fists, stopped talking, and turned around and left.

at night.

More than forty people gathered in the lobby, and there were various foods placed on the table in front of them. The built-in charcoal stove added a bit of warmth to this cold winter.

But at this moment, they were not in the mood to eat, and their eyes were all looking at the two people sitting at the last place, with a rat-tail of money, with their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

There was no singing and dancing in the hall, and no one spoke, which seemed very embarrassing.

With a sing, Zhao Xusheng stepped into the lobby, and the others stood up to salute.

Zhao Xusheng sat in the main seat and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down. "Everything is busy and it's too late. The commander-in-chief stipulated that wine should not be drunk in the army. I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you."

He picked up the teacup on the desk, picked it up to greet everyone, and then drank it all.

Zhao Xusheng was treating everyone to eat, but he was not polite to them. He had a full meal first. "Everyone, it is not easy to get these good things in the cold winter. Don't be polite, eat whatever you want. We'll talk about it slowly when we're done."

After eating two cups of tea in silence, the others didn't know what happened, but Zhao Xusheng was really full. He pushed the plate in front of him, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's time to talk about the main business. You guys arrived three or four days ago, and today we were late. But whether it came early or late, since we came, it means that you don't want to be enemies with our army anymore. I'll make a few requests here. If you can do it, everything will be easy. If you can't, I will still let you go back. Then I will send troops to destroy your tribe."

Zhao Xusheng spoke calmly, but at this moment they could undoubtedly be stormy waves, and their hearts were immediately raised.

Zhao Xusheng continued: "It's simple to say, there are only three in total. First, I want the population details of your tribe, including the number of people, men and women, age, etc. From then on, you all have returned to China. Second, among you, there are Han people, Jurchens, Xibe people, Oroqen people, and Mongolians. Some are in charge of farming and hunting. The government will not change your current lifestyle. What did you do in the past, and you can continue to do that in the future. But the government will send people to your tribe, which you can think is surveillance or control. In short, this person must be sent."

Everyone was in a state of great turmoil, but they also understood their situation and quickly stopped and looked at Zhao Xusheng.

Zhao Xusheng continued: "The third and most important ones. Since you are naturalized in China, you should enjoy the same equal treatment as the Han people. According to the recruitment model of Han people, five Dings will draw one. Within one month, you will send your people to Xiuyan City and join the army as soldiers."

There was another whisper.

After a while, a tribe leader stood up and said to Zhao Xusheng: "General, every time a war was about to start, the Jurchens recruited soldiers from our tribes. But at that time, we were asked to carry our own weapons, war horses, and go out with the army. Is this what the general said?"
