Chapter 174 Entering Kaifeng

Later generations in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Qing army chose the former.

The Qing rulers from Nurhaci, Huang Taiji and Dorgon were all known for their fierceness and cruelty in history.

Their approach is usually "the fire broke out in the city gate and the fish in the pond are affected." That is to say, once the city breaks, the city and the land is broken, and no matter whether they participate in the resistance or do not participate in the resistance, they will all be massacred or plundered as slaves and servants.

The flood of Kaifeng, the three slaughter of Chengdu, the ten days of Yangzhou, the three slaughter of Jiading, the eighty-one day of Jiangyin, etc., and countless massacres suppressed the Han people's resistance.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Liberation Army chose the latter - to treat prisoners preferentially. The offensive in the late stage of the Liberation War was a devastating defeat, with flags coming, and large numbers of national and military surrendering.

Of course, this is definitely not just that simple, and the reason is not so single, but the attitude towards prisoners is indeed one of the factors that result.

During the Chenjiazhuang period, Chen Xun treated the prisoners of the imperial guards who came to encircle and suppress the enemy army very well. Now many prisoners choose to stay in the jurisdiction of the military government, contributing to the development and construction of the military government.

Even the prisoners who chose to return to their hometown promoted various good policies of the military government in the local area, and the benefits of military government rule were indescribable.

Now facing the situation where the more than 40,000 Jin soldiers, among which the Jurchens and other ethnic groups are half, Chen Xun must be treated with caution.

"I can guarantee that as long as the soldiers who have not violated the Han people can survive." This is Chen Xun's condition.

Even if he was trying to force the Jin army to death, he would not intend to let go of the sinful Jin soldiers and generals.

At worst, these Jin soldiers could break through, but as long as the Chen family army continued to develop, one day they would still fall into the hands of the Chen family army.

The difference is just to let them survive for a few more days.

"This..." Jin Jiang didn't know how to explain: "There are too few people who meet this requirement, and it is too difficult to define."

This is the truth.

There are very few Jin soldiers who have no sin to be selected from them.

Moreover, in this era, it is too much work to define whether tens of thousands of people have violated the Han people before.

Jin will be self-aware. Chen Xun's guarantee is the same as there is no guarantee when the Jin army's behavior in Kaifeng City.

"As long as you do not kill good people or violate women and children, you can let them work hard to atone for your sins." Chen Xun relaxed some conditions slightly and then added: "This is my bottom line."

"How to define it?" Jin Jiang asked.

This question shows that Chen Xun's conditions did not exceed the bottom line discussed by the Jin people before.

Stay stable!

"I will hold a public trial meeting in Kaifeng City. Everyone will come to the stage to accept the public trial of Kaifeng people. If the conditions are confirmed, they will be killed and paid off on the spot."

"If the guilt is slightly less serious, you will enter the labor camp and work and atone for your sins. The length of work will be determined according to the degree of the sin, and the life of work will be granted to you according to the degree of the sin."

"If you do not do evil, you will be admitted to the labor camp for three years and then regain your freedom."

Everyone present knew that the third situation Chen Xun mentioned was that among the more than 40,000 golden soldiers, they probably couldn't even get all their hands together.

You know, these Jin soldiers fought from north of Shanhaiguan to Kaifeng, so how could they not do evil on the way?

Considering that some of them happened to have not done any evil in Kaifeng, Chen Xun added in his heart: "At that time, they will be asked to report each other. As long as they report other people's guilt, they can relieve some of their own guilt. A dog bites a dog and has a mouthful of hair. If anyone can escape like this, it would be a fate."

It is estimated that Jin Jiang, who was present, also realized this and considered that it was impossible for all the people in Kaifeng City to attend the public trial meeting. He was lucky enough to think that many people would escape the disaster.

For a moment, the scene was a little silent.

"You can go to the side to discuss, but I'm not sure when the Zhang Yejun in the city will fight. He is not our Chen family army, but from Guangzhou. As a general Song who has experienced the Battle of Kaifeng from beginning to end, how will he treat the Jin soldiers and prisoners? No need to say, you can think of it yourself. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance at that time." After Chen Xun said that, he took the Chen family army away, leaving some space for these people.

Time passed slowly. At the time of Si, although the Jin generals in the military formation were discussing in a low voice, they should have argued very fiercely at the blushing appearance.

Among them, Jin General, who was more sinful, must have firmly opposed it, but Wanyan Zongwang was in Chen Xun's hands, and they did not dare to make a decision that ignored him.

"Notify Pei Ren and give these Jin people more effort." Chen Xun ordered.

Several snow pigeons flew into the sky, entered Kaifeng City from the sky, and finally fell in Kaifeng inner city.

Soon, Anyuan Gate, on the easternmost side of the north wall of Kaifeng inner city, was opened from the inside, and more than 30,000 Song soldiers rushed out from the inside, gradually approaching the Jin army controlled area.

For a time, Kaifeng City was filled with gongs, drums, horns and other warnings and commands. The defenders on Jingyang Gate were transferred directly opposite the Chen family army, and the defenders were obviously sparse.

General Jin, who was discussing, also discovered this phenomenon and understood that the inner city's Uncle Zhang attacked.

Think about the "grenades" used by the Chen family army before, which can be described as a weapon of street fighting. As long as Zhang Shuye opens any of the four gates of the north wall of Kaifeng's outer city and lets the Chen family army in, the Jin army in the city will be over.

At that time, not only will he have to accept the trial of the Chen family army, but also Zhang Shuye’s trial. Maybe he will be buried alive?

"How can the Chen family army ensure that everything you said before can do it?" Jin General, who was in charge, planned to struggle for a while.

"As far as I reversed the situation of the Kaifeng War, if I don't have the final say, no one can tell the final say in Kaifeng's realm." At any time, strength is the strongest trump card to impress the opponent.

"General Chen, we surrender."

...

Next, Chen Xun used Wanyan Zonghan's face and the cooperation of several Jin generals to begin to accept the surrender of the Jin army in an established manner.

Under Pei Ren's instructions, Zhang Shuye stopped attacking the Jin soldiers and retreated to the inner city of Kaifeng.

And after entering the inner city, the city gate was closed again, and as usual, he did not "welcome" Chen family army enthusiastically.

Chen Xun was not surprised by this scene.

Internal fighting and internal fighting and external fighting have always been the characteristics of these literati.

The main force of the Jin army is still in Fengqiu, and Zhang Shuye has listed the Chen family army as one of the potential enemies and has begun to be on guard.

On April 13, Ke Lei's fleet entered Kaifeng City from Tongjinmen (Dongshuimen) along the Bian River, not only brought a large amount of material supplies, but also brought 20,000 well-trained Xuzhou recruits.

Chen Xun's manpower was finally no longer nervous.

With these new recruits in place, the Chen family was finally able to use the Jin soldiers to capture them, organize them to start repairing the Kaifeng city wall, clearing the moat, and preparing the city guard equipment.
