The Ulsan border road crossing battle only lasted for more than five hours, the miscellaneous troops led by Guo Huben had just entered the battlefield, the battle was over, the soldiers in Ulsan who took part in the battle were busy catching prisoners, Guo Huben exclaimed that he was out of luck, it was obvious that his troops could not get the battle credit, so he could only order his men to join in catching the prisoners.
The battle commanded by Chu Chao Hui was fought numbly and the result of the battle was brilliant, the army of 48,000, the number of people who escaped from the battlefield was less than 500, the commander-in-chief Xi Sima was captured alive, the other generals were either killed in battle, captured or surrendered, more than one thousand of Wangdu Huben were killed in battle, more than two thousand were wounded, and the other fourteen thousand or so of Huben were surrendered. Compared to Wangdu Huben, the casualty figures of the auxiliary soldiers who did not fight doubled, with more than 2,000 corpses and around 5,000 lightly and seriously wounded.
Most of the casualties in the royal capital were caused by being trampled by their own people in the confusion, and the number of those who actually died under the swords of the Ulsan soldiers was less than a thousand. On the side of the Ulsan army, only a hundred or so soldiers were lost, most of these lost soldiers were Wei Ren's men, and there were more than three hundred light and heavy casualties in the whole army.
After the big battle, the miscellaneous troops that did not enter the battlefield to fight were responsible for taking care of the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. Physically fit surrendered Huben were asked to dig pits to bury the corpses, seriously wounded on both sides of the enemy were carried by Huben prisoners to the temporary hospital next to the battlefield, Jiang Gui led more than a hundred medics into the intense rescue, more than 7,000 wounded, busy they were overwhelmed, in the end, Chu Chao Hui had to send more than three hundred soldiers to assist, the valley and the soldiers of Nambu have been through a simple medical training, those who are lightly wounded will be taken care of by these soldiers. The soldiers in the valley and Nanbu have been trained in simple medical care. Of course, the treatment is to save the Ulsan soldiers first, and when the Ulsan light wounded are treated, then it is the turn of the serious wounded of the royal army.
The large number of wounded soldiers gave Chu Chao Hui a headache, but the captures after cleaning the battlefield made Chu Chao Hui grin. A total of eleven hundred horses, two hundred and fifty intact chariots, seven thousand pairs of complete armor, tens of thousands of pieces of fragmented armor, and countless weapons were collected from the battlefield. Chu Chao Hui calculated the cost of the war, the value of those thousands of horses alone could make the cost of the Ulsan outfits recover.
"West Sima, goodbye!" Chu Chao Hui received the five-tied enemy general with a smile.
"Bah! Treacherous villain, playing with sorcery, winning!" West Sima cursed at the sight of Chu Chaohui, his defeat was really unwilling and too inexplicable.
Because Chu Chao Hui ordered the soldiers to collect all the armor and weapons on the captives regardless of their status, a set of soft armor that was heavily purchased from the western region was also stripped from the Western Sima, and now this great general who was in charge of an army of 50,000 people was only wearing an inner shirt, and the whole person was in a sorry state.
"Haha, you're not as skilled as the others, but you're still talking tough. My Ulsan army has been waiting for your army for a whole hour, and the attack was also initiated by your army first, if Chu Mou was a treacherous villain and initiated the impact when your army's position was unstable, how much better would your army's fate be than now?" Chu Chaohui raised his eyebrows, not angry at all, to this defeated general, he didn't need to bother with more words, because Xi Sima's fate was destined to be executed, he helped Ripple Ji take over the throne, with too much blood sticking to his hands, it was impossible for both the Hussar General and the Western Marquis to let him off the hook.
"The confrontation was about etiquette, but our army surrendered why didn't we treat them with etiquette, not only did we collect our weapons, but also stripped away the Huben's battle clothes." West Sima was chastised by Chu Chao Hui and was speechless, thinking of his current wretchedness, he found another reason to chastise.
Chu Chao Hui sneered, this West Sima also do not know how to mix to the position of Sima, more than twenty years ago, the king of Wu can not be so pedantic, if the king of Wu at that time on the losing side of the gentleman's etiquette, Wei's royal family will not be left with Wei Shen three brothers, those small vassal states will not be included in the territory of the State of Wu, the State of Wu will not be more than twenty years to deter around the vassal states.
"Is it necessary to speak of the manners of a gentleman to those who steal a country? For villains, Chu has always preferred a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye!" Chu Chaohui was not interested in trying to reason with this rigid and unenlightened person, he ordered the Western Secretary and other officers to be put into a prison wagon and escorted to Dacheng to be handed over to Zheng Yuming for disposal.
The news of the great victory in the front was spread back to Dacheng the next day, and the nobles and feudal lords of Dacheng were extremely excited. After the loss of the 50,000 troops that the king's capital was conquering, the comparison between Ripple Ji and Azure Mountain's strength was immediately reversed, turning Azure Mountain's strength into Azure Mountain's strength being stronger than that of the king's capital. All the people of Ulsan had more confidence in defeating Yi Ji.
While the people of Ulsan were happy, Zheng Yuming was busy worrying, the arrangement of the 14,000 Huben who surrendered to the army and the 23,000 auxiliary soldiers was too much of a headache, and the food and drink of nearly 40,000 people was killing people. In addition to these prisoners, there are more than seven thousand wounded soldiers, also testing the finances of Ulsan.
The famous general of Qin, Bai Qi, designed to surround the Zhao army for 46 days and then killed the surrendered soldiers, food and grass is the main reason, Qin also at that time almost ate the food, to look after 400,000 prisoners, there is no ability, not to kill can not continue to attack, and put back for fear of becoming a rebel force in the future, hungry and unable to resist the captives of Zhao were killed by the pit of Bai Qi buried in the earth.
Zheng Yuming felt his scalp numb whenever he saw this part of history, how could he not think of a general who would be so cruel as to disregard 400,000 lives and would order all of them to be executed. It was only after he received 40,000 captives that he somewhat understood Bai Qi's cruel approach, which was typical of the dead Taoist friends.
In addition to more than 40,000 prisoners testing the Ulsan finances, more than 20,000 people brought by the Western Marquis also have to spend a lot of money to arrange, in the face of financial pressures, Zheng Yuming that is, he refused to do Bai Qi, but also can not affect the Chu Chaohui later on the king's capital to use the army. Zheng Yuming could only think of ways to realize the money.
First of all, the money changers in Nambu began to issue a war bond, the annual return of six percent of the principal, this bond was launched, we do not understand what it is, Zheng Yuming let people everywhere to post instructions, people in Nambu and Dacheng know, buy this paper coupon, a year later you can money money money. Zheng Yuming's reputation is too good, the people of Nambu have money in hand are enthusiastically purchased, Dacheng's aristocrats are also large sums of money purchased, the soldiers in the army are basically in the hands of the payroll converted into bonds, and the slaves in the valley, but also in Zheng Yuming's permission to the account of the money into bonds back to their respective residences to keep.
In addition to the bonds, Zheng Yuming took out the two sets of tableware in the villa and told Wu Mu to take them to the Great Vassals to sell.
"Gongzi, this treasure is really going to be sold?" Wu Mu with a crying voice, the twenty-first century tableware is too beautiful, see Wu Mu tears are coming out, such a beautiful treasure, really can not afford to fall to other countries.
"Can't sell it, it costs money to fight." Zheng Yuming also can not afford to give up, with the current kiln making porcelain technology development speed, a hundred years later can not make such a perfect thing.
"Gongzi." Wu Mu's throat went dry as he opened his mouth to speak.
After Zheng Yuming's identity became the third son of the King of Wu, the Wu family was ecstatic, Wu Da was Zheng Yuming's sworn brother, and after Zheng Yuming became the Duke of Wu, the Wu family was also instantly ranked among the nobility. To Zheng Yuming defeated Ripple Ji, later became the head of a country, Wu family most longing.
Qin all the vassals of the state master to start a big war, first of all is to increase taxes, and then is to recruit auxiliary troops, a war after the princes and nobles, no one property will be lost, after the victory, they can also share the war dividends, the identity of the nobles of the Huben will also be rewarded by the military service, only to do auxiliary soldiers of the civilian population, not only nothing, the war consumption but also by the burden of their own. Such a practice to Zheng Yuming here, but against a, Zheng Yuming a did not increase taxes, two did not pull auxiliary soldiers, war costs all out of pocket. Since ancient times, this kind of benevolent princes only Zheng Yuming one.
"Your Excellency, there is more than half a million gold in Mu's family, and he is willing to offer it all to your Excellency!" Wu Mu's head was so hot that he wanted to offer all of his family's assets.
"No! No! How can Yuming accept Brother Wu's family property." Zheng Yuming froze, Wu Mu was a businessman who valued money, and now he was willing to offer all of his family's belongings, which surprised Zheng Yuming.
"If Gongzi can pour his family's money for the righteous path, so can Mu!" The more Zheng Yuming pushed back, the more resolute Wu Mu's attitude of offering gold became.
"Let's do it this way, brother Wu's money will be taken as all the bonds." Wu Mu's resolute attitude made Zheng Yuming take a step back, the bonds had been sold out and Zheng Yuming wanted to print an additional batch.
The matter of Wu Mu spending half a million gold to buy bonds quickly spread among the nobles of Dacheng, Chen Meng heard about it and immediately chased and bought 100,000 gold, and the second batch of bonds that Zheng Yuming reprinted didn't take long to sell out.
After the two batches of bonds were sold, Zheng Yuming's hands were immediately loose financially, and he, together with Chu Chao-hui, made proper arrangements for the 40,000 men who had surrendered.
Fourteen thousand Huben can not be put back for fear that they go back to rejoin the royal capital army, Chu Chao Hui sifted out five thousand people to fill up their own army, these five thousand Huben have nothing to do with the West Sima and Jiang Dafu, is the original North Sima and the hands of the feudal lords of all parts of the Huben, they are not supportive of Ripple Ji and Duke Yong, they are very happy to join the crusade against Ripple Ji in the army.
The remaining 9,000 Huben were escorted to Nangbu to build protection, Nangbu and the valley, after the slope has been connected, the three areas of the northwest, north and northeast of the city wall must be built, by the river bank of the Yangtze River should be built dykes and high walls, dykes are for flood control, high walls are to prevent the enemy from the water up to the shore to attack the Nangbu and the valley. This group of Huben do hard labor is not called labor service, called labor reform, because they follow the treacherous princess made a big mistake, Zheng Yuming sentenced them to labor reform for one year to atone for their sins.
The protected back slopes, valleys and south ports will become a new type of city, twice the size of Dacheng.
The night the auxiliary soldiers surrendered, they drank white porridge and ate white steamed buns, and the next day they had dried corn rice, not only dried rice, but also three meals a day, and occasionally white rice which they had never eaten before, and the food they ate as prisoners was better than what they had eaten at home. In the face of such good treatment, most of the auxiliary soldiers were grateful and called Gongzi Ming saint, the future saint of Wu.
The treatment program for these 23,000 auxiliary soldiers is that those who want to go home are issued dry rations, and those who don't want to go home can work as temporary laborers in Nambu, and those who want to work as temporary laborers have to register at the civil affairs office in Dacheng and receive a temporary ID card before they can find their own jobs.
Half of the auxiliary soldiers chose to go back with dry rations because they were homesick, while the other half chose to stay in Dacheng and work as short-term laborers. There was a lot of civil engineering and water conservancy work going on in Dacheng and Nambu, which required a lot of labor, and the short-term jobs paid well, which attracted these auxiliary soldiers.
Those Huben and soldiers who were injured were treated in the same way when their wounds healed.
After arranging the prisoners of war, the people brought by Xihou also had to be resettled, these people were good at raising herdsmen, Zheng Yuming encouraged them to migrate to Su Plain, which could grow grain and raise herdsmen, with abundant rainfall, and much better conditions than the barren Xihou fiefdom. After hearing about the conditions of Su Plain, some of the people of Xihou Fiefdom chose to settle there, while the other part had feelings for their homeland and still chose to return to their fiefdom. The people who went to Su Plain were taken over by Yu Kui to make arrangements, the people who returned to the fiefdom were escorted by Chu Chao Hui who sent a small team of men and horses, the Western Marquis and the Shizi Sheng didn't leave the Ulsan Monarch's mansion, the Western Marquis was not able to move around because of his poor health.
The Ulsan crusading army won a great victory at Dokou, returned to Dacheng to do a little rest and regrouped to approach the royal capital, this time, Zheng Yuming followed the army as Gongziming.
After receiving the news of the defeat of the entire army, Ripple Ji of the royal capital was so shocked that her face turned pale and her demeanor was in a state of panic.
