Chapter 85 Aftercare
A large number of Xing Tianjun poured into the city from the gaps in the east and west wall like a flood, and then poured into the streets and alleys like mercury. Xiao Tianjian was the second group to lead troops into the city. When he stepped on Kaifeng City, he couldn't help but be shocked. For a moment, because of the prosperity of Kaifeng City, it was He rarely saw it. The other was to see the bombs around the city wall. Almost all the buildings within a few hundred steps were destroyed, forming a large number of ruins.
Originally, Gao Mingheng Mingming dug a deep trench in the city wall to prevent the Xing Tianjun from digging a hole in the ground into the city. However, when the city wall was blown up and collapsed, a large number of masonry and soil fell on the trench, and the trench was filled in at once, which did not play a role in blocking the Xing Tian Army at all, and the city collapsed. Almost none of the officers and soldiers in the collapsed area were spared. They were either blown up on the spot or killed by the earthquake. Many people were directly buried by the ruins. The death was terrible one by one.
It was also because of the sudden explosion that the determination to resist in the city was completely destroyed. After the Xing Tian Army entered the city, the street fighting was not as fierce as expected. Most of the living defenders and the people directly chose to kneel down and surrender. Only a few people chose to resist desperately, and the battle was approaching. At noon, most of the area of Kaifeng City had been controlled by the Xingtian Army, leaving only the South Gate and Zhou Wangfu with some officers and soldiers fighting desperately. However, as a large number of Xingtian troops entered the city, the firemen had begun to gather towards these places of last resistance.
At this time, the north gate was also controlled by the Xingtian Army. A group of defenders knew that the general situation had gone, so they took the initiative to open the gate and surrender to the Xingtian Army. More criminal soldiers began to enter the city from the north gate. At the same time, they also brought some three-pound cannons into the city. They were urged by the officers to rush to the place where they were still fighting fiercely to be responsible for the attack. .
At noon, the south gate of the city was suddenly opened. Chen Yongfu, the general of Kaifeng, led by his son Chen De, who led less than 2,000 defeated soldiers, finally began to break out from the South Gate and gave up the resistance in Kaifeng.
At this time, the sound of gunfire in the fierce battle around Zhou Wangfu gradually stopped, and soon came the news that Zhou Wangfu was conquered by the Xingtian army.
Xiao Tianjian is also completely relaxed at this time. Isn't the indestructible Kaifeng City still taken down by me? Let's see what face Chongzhen's second brother has.
By the afternoon, Xiao Tianjian had moved the Shuai Mansion to the mansion of Kaifeng Mansion, and the departments began to spread the important battle situation one after another.
Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, was the first to bear the brunt. After the destruction of the city in the west of the city, he saw that Kaifeng was not guaranteed. He found a place to hang the beam and committed suicide. The bodies had been found and had been collected. For these senior officials in the city, Xiao Tianjian had ordered them to capture them as raw as possible before the war. As for their bodies, they should not be desecrate. It should be properly collected.
After all, it is not wrong for them to choose a monarch who is loyal to them, and their determination is also admirable. The brave should not be insulted, so after Gao Mingheng committed suicide, the body was quickly found and properly protected.
In addition to Gao Mingheng, the Xingtian Army also arrested a lot of Henan officials, among which many officials chose to commit suicide and die like Gao Mingheng. These people were quickly found regardless of life and death. Those who should be detained and those who should be imprisoned were collected.
Of course, many officials chose to take the initiative to surrender after the city was destroyed, and these people were also temporarily retained to help the people in the city.
As for Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, he was also captured on the spot, including the princess and royal relatives in the royal palace. A total of more than 200 people were arrested and sent to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion and imprisoned.
In the official prison of Kaifeng, after entering the city, a lot of people were still detained. For these people, Xiao Tianjian ordered them to be released and went home separately. However, before the release, he also arrested a few pawns and asked about the identity of the people in it. For those bad guys who should be detained, naturally If it can't be released, it will be killed directly. After the province is released, it will be a scourge.
But the news immediately followed made Xiao Tianjian still a little angry. Although the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution of the Left had warned them in advance, let them restrain their soldiers and generals, do not harm the people after entering the city, smash and rob them everywhere, and humiliate women, but after all, there are more ruffians among them, and A lot of things that shouldn't have happened. For this reason, the guards of the Xing Tianjun bombed them in the city, and these men of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo even clashed with the guards.
Xiao Tianjian immediately sent the order. As long as he found these people who were in disorder, they should be arrested and ordered to return, He Yilong and others would go down to control their generals, and strictly ordered them that those who should be killed should not be tolerated. The reputation of Xing Tianjun must not be damaged by them.
After hearing the military order, he jumped angrily and scolded. He immediately found He Yilong, Lin Cultiv and others and asked them to do this matter quickly.
These people also know that the Xing Tianjun army is disciplined and strict. They have said everything they should say in advance. They restrain their subordinates not to mess around and do things according to the instructions of Xing Tianjun. However, there are still people who don't listen to them and start to mess around in the city, which is equivalent to slapting them in the face, so they immediately pat their chest. It is guaranteed that it will never be tolerated.
After a day, the situation in Kaifeng City stabilized a lot. More than 200 people were arrested by the riot soldiers of the 5th Battalion of Gezuo alone. These people either broke into people's homes and robbed them, or hid seized things, or humiliated women. In short, there were all kinds of bad things. Some people even when they were found. Hou also copied the guy to resist, and as a result, he was directly killed on the spot by the Xing Tianjun Guards Supervision Team.
These people Xiao Tianjian went to see it in person, and then called them back to them and asked them to claim their own men. As for how to deal with it, Xiao Tianjian only said that you can do it yourself!
Ma Yinglong, He Yilong, Lin Cultivation, He Jin and other five people were angry to death one by one. After claiming their respective subordinates, they found that many of them were their trusted subordinates, and these people begged for their lives, and they dared not dare in the future.
But the old back was the first to scold: "Before I entered the city, I gave you these bastards to make it clear. Now we have returned to the Xing Tianjun, and all the rules are handled according to the orders of the general. You also open your eyes and look at the people under the general. How many of them are like you bastards? The ugly words are in front of me. Now you are begging for mercy. It's too late! Come on, kill! Give me one without leaving it, and it's all pushed out and cut!"
As a result, Lao Hui's men immediately pushed the selected group of people out, fell to the ground one by one, and cut these people to the ground with a knife.
Although He Yilong was reluctant, he did this all the time. If he didn't do it, Xiao Tianjian's men would wear small shoes in the future. I'm afraid that he would not be able to fool around in the Xing Tianjun in the future, so he gritted his teeth and ordered his men to be pushed out and cut off, although there were even some of them. One is his own nephew, and he has no mercy.
With the lead of Lao Hui and He Yilong, the other three had no way out. After gritting their teeth and scolding, they ordered to push these men out and cut them off.
The result was a great shock to these old troops of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion who newly joined the Xingtian Army. More than 200 heads were cut down. They also knew that the military discipline of the Xingtian Army was not a joke, so they immediately restrained a lot and dared not to mess around again.
With Xiao Tianjian's order, after controlling the situation, the siege troops immediately began to leave only a small number of soldiers in various departments to maintain order in the city. A large number of soldiers, horses and surrendered troops withdrew from the city and returned to the battalion outside the city to rest.
As for Chen Yongfu, who escaped from the South Gate, he could not really escape. The Xingtian Army outside the city had already dug a lot of pits waiting for them. As a result, as soon as about 2,000 soldiers left the city, they fell and turned over outside the city. Then the cavalry of the Xingtian Army blocked them. After a fight, Chen Yongfu looked at it. Unable to get out, he finally had to dismount and announce his surrender. Situ Liang took them down their father and son, tied them to the city and gave them to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian did not talk to the two of them, but directly asked them whether to surrender or not. Over the years, Chen Yongfu has not been against Xing Tianjun for a year or two, and Chen Yongfu, as an old man, can also see the strength of Xing Tianjun under Xiao Tianjian's command. As a martial artist, he does not have Gao Mingheng and Yang Wenyue. After thinking about it, even if Wenchen was willing to surrender, he would keep his son, as well as his wife and concubine, who he had put in the city and didn't have time to take away.
As for the king of Zhou, not before the city was broken, the king of Zhou paid money and gave people to help guard the city or something. However, after he was really caught, Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, became loose and scared and begged for mercy. Xiao Tianjian asked him if he was willing to surrender. Zhu Gongyu even kowtowed without even thinking about it, and The king of Zhou surrendered to his children, so there was nothing to insist on, so the king of Zhou expressed their willingness to surrender to Xing Tianjun.
Originally, it was a waste of food to keep the king of Zhou's family. Xiao Tianjian thought that they were useless, so he simply killed them, but he was persuaded by Li Xin that it was at least a signboard to keep them. Even the king of Zhou surrendered Xing Tianjun, so for many officials and royal families in the court in the future, it is an example. It's better not to kill the King of Zhou than to kill him. After all, because the King of Chongfu, who resisted strongly, has been killed. This royal family can't really kill one by one. It can't kill the world's surnamed Zhu!
So after thinking about it, Xiao Tianjian still left the Zhou Wang family, but if they want to enjoy the good days of the past, it is definitely impossible. After the king of Zhou surrendered, he was sent by Xiao Tianjian to Lushi County and found a place to settle them. As long as they don't starve to death, it is enough.
