The artillery fire and beacon smoke of the whole city were the last Elegy of the Wei King's rule of Jinling City.
Ye Qingyun led the soldiers to rush into the Wei palace, and finally they only found some maidservants and servants who had not had time to escape.
"The king of Wei must have escaped." Ye Qingyun frowned, which was in his expectation. After all, the strategy they adopted was the same as last time. They besieged the city on three sides and let the enemy escape on the other side.
Now, the most important purpose of the war is to occupy Jinling City. As long as Jinling City is broken, the South and north of Wei will fall into their hands, and Wei will face the situation of North-South attack.
"You guys stay and watch the Wei palace. The other soldiers come with me to take the Jinling palace." Ye Qingyun looks solemn. Wei is rich and well-known all over the world. If he takes the imperial treasury, it will greatly solve the financial problems of the feudal state, which is also a great credit to him.
Having said that, he continued to lead the soldiers to attack the south across the Wei palace.
Today, the city of Jinling is still in chaos. The soldiers of Wei army have no desire to fight. They either surrender or seize the opportunity to rob inside the city and flee outside the city. Along the way, ye Qingyun seldom meets decent resistance.
After entering the city, the war became very smooth. The soldiers of Dengzhou army poured into the city from three sides. In the evening, they basically occupied Jinling City and took over the government office, treasury, granary, barracks and other facilities in the city.
When night falls, ye Qingyun wipes the blood on his sword. He can't remember how many soldiers fell under his sword today, but fortunately, the war is over.
"Dudu, there is a man calling himself Zhang Yi outside the city. He said that the king of Wei is in his hands." One of the captains stooped and said.
Ye Qingyun stops wiping the parts and says, "Zhang Yi? Who is this
"Zhang Yi's family is the largest in Jinling City, and his daughter is the imperial concubine of Wei." At this time, a voice sounded and Li San came in from outside the camp.
"Zhang Jia?" Ye Qing sneered: "they are really smart."
"It's not surprising that even a fool can see that Wei's situation is gone, and it's better to wait for a new leader now." Li San said faintly that when he attacked the city, he went outside Jinling City. Now every time he captured a city, the secret guards had to enter. On the one hand, it was a matter of propaganda, and on the other hand, it was a matter of eliminating the local powerful families.
This purge includes two aspects: one is to provide intelligence to strangle and kill those who have different intentions, and the other is to supervise the dissolution of the tribe, hand over the family property and completely become the common people.
In order to reduce the casualties of soldiers and disintegrate the will of resistance, Xiao Ming did not adopt the policy of extermination.
It is also because of this policy that many rich families still have illusions, hoping to keep their foundation by making contributions. There have been similar cases in the war against the counties near Pengzhou City.
"Another new owner? Well, it's better to kill them all. " After what happened in Yangzhou City, ye Qingyun now has a great hatred for the rich.
"You can't, if your highness didn't allow the aristocrats to surrender, you 30000 people could occupy Jinling so easily? The massacre in Yangzhou is said to be for revenge. In fact, it's just for you to raise military supplies. At present, the haos in Qingzhou are only the main culprits who have died. Other people have been moved to various places to work in agriculture. Now they are in peace. "
Ye Qingyun nodded," Your Highness is still going to do this this time? "
" it's not true. Your highness said that this time the powerful families in Wei were handed over to the local people for trial. Those who committed the most heinous crimes were decapitated, and those who followed them served as soldiers, while those who were innocent were reduced to the common people, and their property was not collected. "
"Ha ha, it's worthy of your highness. This method is much worse than that of the feudal aristocracy. In this way, the aristocracy of Wei has disappeared."
Li San nodded his head. His duty this time is to set up the militia and production teams in each state and county. After Jinling City is stable, it will be the trial of the haos. But before that, even the surrendered haos will be detained temporarily.
The two chatted for a while, when ye Qingyun motioned for Zhang Yi to come in.
After a while, wearing a patched dress, Zhang Yi came in. Behind him was the embarrassed king of Wei.
"I have seen the governor. Zhang Yite, the head of Zhang family in Jinling City, Cao min, dedicated the king of Wei to the governor." Zhang Yi said nervously.
Ye Qingyun takes a look at Zhang Yi. He is half a hundred years old, with gray hair and thin figure. With his patched clothes, he looks like a beggar.
Li San and ye Qingyun are surprised to see Zhang Yi's shape.
Then they looked at the king of Wei. Ye Qingyun had not seen the king of Wei, but Li San had seen the king of Wei. At this time, he said, "Your Highness, you know why you should have been here. If your highness had promised to form an alliance, you don't have to be a prisoner now."
"Son of a bitch, I can be bullied by you. Even if I lose, I'm Xiao Ming's uncle. When I get to Qingzhou City, I have to treat him as well." The king of Wei scolded.
Then he turned to Zhang Yi: "you are greedy for your family's property. Instead of running away in time, you have caught my king to ask for credit. I really hate that I didn't kill your family."
Zhang Yi's face turned blue and white. As the king of Wei said, after the Dengzhou army invaded Jinling City, he ordered his family members to clean up the gold and silver. But when he was ready to leave, the Dengzhou army had completely occupied Jinling City.When he was in despair, he found the king of Wei mixed in the crowd. Originally, under the persuasion of the officials, the king of Wei was finally ready to flee, but it was too late, so he had a plan in his heart, which was to capture the king of Wei and make atonement for his exploits.
In the face of the Wei King's scolding, Li San didn't like it. He said lightly: "the royal highness of the king of Qi has always thought that the royal highness of the king of Qi colluded with the Qingzhou aristocrats to murder him. It depends on his Highness's nature whether he can serve him well."
When the king of Wei heard the words, he looked very ugly.
Ye Qingyun said: "you ordered soldiers to plunder and slaughter, and more than 100000 innocent people died in Yangzhou city. How can your highness get around you, the faint king?"
After that, he said to the soldiers in the account, "imprison Zhang Yi and the king of Wei, and wait for his Highness's order."
"Yes. "The soldiers immediately pointed bayonets at Zhang Yi and the king of Wei.
Zhang Yi was shocked. He called out: "the governor must have made a mistake. Even if the grassroots captured the king of Wei, they had no success, but they had no fault."
"Hum, you are the head of the Zhang clan in Jinling City, and your daughter is the side concubine of the king of Wei. Should you be stupid? What's more, it's shameless of you to betray your master. " Ye Qingyun said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi felt as if he was in mourning, and his body began to tremble.
When they were detained, Li San said, "the general situation of Jinling City has been decided. It's only a matter of time before Xiao Han, the son of the king of Wei, is trapped in Chuzhou. The remaining few major generals are not worth mentioning."
Ye Qingyun nodded his head. The battle of Jinling City can be said to be the first battle.
