    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 312

    The battle in the provincial capital lasted until the evening, and the Qinghe army completely controlled this city with a population of more than 100,000.

    Surrounded by a group of officers, Chen Ziang rode his horse into the city. As soon as he reached the corridor, a strong bloody smell rushed towards him, making people sick.

    After passing through the long city gate corridor, they rode their horses into the city, and as far as they could see, there were ruins and ruins.

    Many houses were burned by the rout soldiers. Although the flames had been extinguished, there were still green smoke, and many houses were burnt down to nothing but their skeletons, blackened.

    The streets are littered with piled corpses, blood is gurgling, and some soldiers of the Qinghe Army with knives are still wandering around, looking for remnants of the enemy.

    Seeing the scene of this city after the battle, Chen Ziang also had mixed feelings. It is not easy to build a city, but it is a matter of minutes to destroy it.

    "Issuing an order to set up a list to reassure the people, each banner battalion strictly restrains the soldiers, and must not disturb the people."

    Chen Zi'ang and his Qinghe army were originally a mob of peasants who could not survive and gathered to rebel against the imperial court.

    Although they are constantly being regularized and their combat effectiveness is constantly increasing, they can never forget that they have a relationship with the general public that blood is thicker than water.

    Therefore, after Chen Zi'ang saw the tragic situation in the city, he couldn't bear to see the people in the city suffer from military chaos again, so he demanded that the troops be strictly restrained.

    "The general has an order that the ministries restrain the soldiers and not disturb the people!"

    Several messengers galloped out along the street, shouting all the way, and their voices resounded through the streets and alleys.

    "General!"

    Not long after Chen Ziang and the others walked along the street, Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, greeted him with more than a dozen officers.

    Han Feng, the head of the flag regiment, also personally took the lead in the battle, his blood-stained shirt, clanging and walking, a little more iron-blooded and ruthless.

    Their Twelfth Banner Regiment performed well in this siege battle. Although they suffered heavy casualties, Chen Ziang still remembered their crazy energy.

    At the beginning, many officers of the Qinghe Army felt that it was a burden for Chen Ziang to take in Han Feng and his troops.

    Because they only have 20,000 soldiers with weak combat effectiveness, and the other 40,000 to 50,000 are old and weak women and children who can only open their mouths to eat.

    But Han Feng and the others risked their lives in this battle. They used their actual actions to tell Chen Ziang that they were not waste.

    "Brother Han, your Twelfth Banner Regiment fought well this time, and you will draw up a list later, and I will reward you for your merits."

    When Chen Ziang saw Han Feng covered in blood, he also publicly expressed his approval of their battle.

    "Thank you, General!"

    After hearing Chen Ziang's words, Han Feng also showed joy on his face, because they fought bloody battles and it was a great honor to be recognized by the chief.

    "What's going on in the city now?" Chen Ziang asked.

    "Report to General, the remnants of the enemy have been wiped out."

    "very good."

    "Where are the provincial governors and others?"

    "We haven't found it yet, so it must have escaped. I'll send someone to pursue it right away." Hearing Chen Ziang's question, Han Feng said hastily.

    Chen Ziang waved his hand and stopped Han Feng: "Forget it, let the brothers rest. A bare-bones governor is just a governor. Even if he escapes, he won't be able to cause any trouble."

    In fact, the Governor of Luyang Province was killed during the war, and became a pile of rotten meat that no one could recognize.

    While Chen Ziang and the others were talking, Lei Ming, the new deputy head of the Ninth Banner Regiment, also brought people over.

    Lei Ming and the others pretended to be reinforcements and deceived the city into the chaos, which allowed Chen Ziang and the others to capture the city. It can be said that they made great contributions.

    Chen Zi'ang valued Lei Ming, the former general of the Black Cavalry Battalion, so he did not hesitate to praise him.

    Their Second Corps of the Qinghe Army can be said to have a complex composition. When he went north from Qinghe Province, he only brought 8,000 cavalry.

    But now they are strong and strong, and the original eight thousand cavalry brothers were almost lost in a series of fierce battles.

    Now their Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army is completely like a different group of people, including children from good families recruited along the way, some adapted from prisoners of war, and bandits.

    ? Now there is a troop of the imperial court, the Black Cavalry Army, joining in, as well asThe Montenegrin rebel army led by Han Feng who newly defected to them.

    Their Second Legion is now like a hodgepodge, it can be said that everyone has it, and the ingredients are quite complicated.

    Chen Zi'ang is the head of the legion. Because there are too many people under him, he has to consider the checks and balances among them while trying to make a bowl of water equal.

    Therefore, after he praised the 12th Banner Regiment led by Han Feng, he then praised Lei Ming and their cavalry unit, making both sides feel honored, but also faintly regarded each other as competitors.

    Although the capital of Luyang Province was also in turmoil, with uprisings happening one after another, in general, the treasury was still full.

    After Chen Ziang entered the city, he also personally inspected the various treasuries. When he saw the warehouses full of grain and money, he was also full of smiles.

    ? Although they paid a price for attacking the capital of Luyang Province, in general, the gains were considerable.

    According to the old rules, Chen Ziang kept part of the food as military rations, and distributed most of it directly to the poor people to help them live.

    It's just that Chen Zi'ang didn't carry out the method of cracking down on rich and powerful families and distributing fields to poor people, because the imperial army was watching from one side, and they didn't have this condition.

    When Chen Ziang and the others were patrolling the city along the street, a soldier with a hurried expression suddenly rushed over from a distance.

    "General, it's bad, someone robbed the court!"

    The soldier rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, pointing to the vegetable market entrance in the distance.

    "What's going on?" Chen Ziang frowned and asked.

    The soldier replied hastily: "We are executing the arrested corrupt officials, but a group of people rushed out to rob the execution ground and want to save them!"

    "Go, go and have a look."

    Chen Ziang didn't expect that their Qinghe Army had already taken control of the provincial capital, and they would dare to take risks against them.

    Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, also had a bad face. He just reported that the remnants of the enemy had been wiped out, but now something like this happened.

    "Quickly mobilize soldiers and horses for reinforcements!"

    After Han Feng gave an order to an officer beside him, he followed Chen Ziang's pace closely.

    Chen Zi'ang and his group quickly arrived at the execution ground at Caishikou with their personal guards.

    I saw a crowd of people here, countless people holding kitchen knives and sticks, surrounded the entrance of Caishi, three floors outside and three floors inside, the number of people was at least a thousand.

    And inside surrounded by groups.  A group of soldiers from the Qinghe Army had their swords out of their sheaths, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

    Chen Ziang and the others didn't dare to move forward rashly, so they had to hide in a small alley next to them, observe from a distance, and wait for reinforcements.

    "Let Master Qin go, let Master Qin go!"

    While surrounding the soldiers of the Qinghe Army, these common people shouted excitedly one by one, and the atmosphere seemed extraordinarily tense.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
