I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 116: Surrender

"My lord, withdraw."

Lu Guangzu's lieutenant saw that the situation was not right and immediately persuaded him.

"Withdraw, where do you withdraw? Really, the cavalry of the Ming army are vegetarian?"

Lu Guangzu vomited. He regrets that he is going to die. He knew that he could not resist it. It would be better to surrender at the beginning, so that anyway, he would be able to take credit for it anyway.

But now, if you surrender after the city is broken, there will be no credit.

As for the escape proposed by the lieutenant, he didn't even think about it.

He knew that the Ming Army had a cavalry unit, and it must be waiting on the road to Nanjing at this time. It was extremely difficult for them to pass this blockade.

Moreover, they played almost no role in hindering Wu Jun in Jiangning, and they would also be punished when they returned to Nanjing.

Lu Guangzu has already planned to surrender. As for the family's problems, there are actually ways. As long as he does not pursue high-ranking officials, he can choose to remain anonymous and let Wu Jun announce that he has died in battle, and then he will change his name and be a small official in Wu Jun. It is not easy for the Qing army to find out. .

If there is a chance to take his family back secretly, or if Wu Jun hits the north, he can go out of the mountain with a high profile and try to make a comeback.

Because of the backwardness of communication, this trick is still very useful in this era, and many people have used this trick.

In this way, Lu Guangzu's starting point will be very low, and the status he can achieve in the future will certainly not be high. However, this is the best way to save your own life and the lives of your family.

Lu Guangzu chose to surrender, and the other officials below were even more unscrupulous. Their officials were too small, and the Qing court didn't bother to guard their families.

Jiangning City was quickly taken down. The defenders inside killed hundreds of people in the battle, and almost all of them surrendered, and a small part of them were missing.

It may be that once the weapons are thrown away, the military uniforms are taken off, and the houses become common people.

These are all minutiae and irrelevant to the overall situation. Wu Changqing didn't bother to send people to conduct house-to-house searches.

As for Wu Jun's loss, there were only a few dozen people, which was not worth mentioning compared with the 80,000 army.

Lu Guangzu was taken to Wu Changqing and knelt down, and said: "The criminal general Lu Guangzu has seen the general."

"Why do you think you are, you have to surrender if I attack the wall. Isn't the article I just wrote about persuading you to surrender? Isn't you moved?

Wu Changqing sarcastically said that this guy is too ignorant to praise. What's the point of stubborn resistance with such an obvious strength comparison?

In the past, it was so simple to surrender in the face of the Qing army, but it was so twitchy to surrender.

The other generals laughed when they heard the words. Wu Changqing's way of speaking also felt very interesting for their winning side.

Lu Guangzu was a little surprised when he heard this. He couldn't understand Wu Changqing's humor.

He sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to argue, he could only say: "The general is brilliant, he is ignorant and doesn't appreciate it. Defeating a general deserves a thousand deaths. I hope the general can see that I did not order resistance and spare my life. ."

He didn't dare to expect any official position anymore, and it would be enough if he could survive.

Looking at the extremely humble Lu Guangzu, Wu Changqing has no interest in mocking anymore. "First become a thousand households in my place and perform well before returning to office."

Wu Changqing now has a particularly short supply of officers, especially senior officers like Lu Guangzu with rich experience.

So, even if this guy is a little uncomfortable, Wu Changqing still chose to use him.

When the military academy develops, this guy will be eliminated in the future.

After Wu Changqing is about to take Nanjing, he will formally establish a military academy, preparing to train officers of all levels.

He now has more and more troops, but his command is getting more and more troublesome. Most of the generals in the army are seriously inadequate.

If they do not carry out advanced studies as soon as possible, continuing to blindly expand the army will not do any good, and will only leave a big hidden danger.

Therefore, Wu Changqing is going to take a long rest after taking Nanjing, training officers, reorganizing the army, and trying his best to change in the direction of future generations to improve combat effectiveness.

"Um, thank you for the general's kindness, but I just want to be the head of a hundred households."

Lu Guangzu didn't know that Wu Changqing was short of officers, so he was surprised by Wu Changqing's generosity. A general like him who was forced to surrender would not start too high.

As for the head of a thousand households, he is already an intermediate officer in the army, and he can regain his official position as a guerrilla officer in the future with a little contribution.

Lu Guangzu did not dare to accept this kind of preferential treatment. After all, it would be more difficult for the head of a thousand households to hide their names.

Oh?

Wu Changqing is a little curious, this is the first time he has seen someone who is too official.

"My family members are all in the north. If the Qing court knows that I surrender to the general, my family will be met with misfortune. Therefore, I want to stay anonymous and be a small hundred households."

Lu Guangzu explained.

When he said this, Wu Changqing understood.

Suddenly he also discovered that the Qing army's move was really ruthless, detaining family members, and those high-ranking officers would not surrender even if they died.

After all, filial piety is very important in this era. If a person kills his family for his own life, his reputation will be completely stinky.

Even if you can marry another wife and have children in the future, you will definitely be guilty for a long time.

"Then do a hundred households first, and tell Master Dai the address of your family, and he will make arrangements to find a way to rescue your family."

Knowing the reason why Lu Guangzu didn't dare to surrender, and didn't dare to be a high official, Wu Changqing felt better for his senses.

This guy is at least somewhat human, after all, he takes care of family affection. It's not like some people just care about their own lives and surrender without any scruples.

Anyway, as long as he is powerful and powerful, his wife can marry at any time, and his son can give birth at any time.

Except that Lu Guangzu’s handling is more troublesome, the handling of other demotions is much easier. According to the old method, they will be disrupted with the original soldiers and let them command the soldiers they are not familiar with.

Although this will slightly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, it can effectively prevent rebellion.

Among the seven thousand soldiers who had surrendered, all the green camp soldiers who wanted to go home paid one or two silvers, and those who wanted to continue to serve as soldiers were paid the first two and two army salaries, and were incorporated into the army.

And those two thousand Eight Banners Army, their loyalty to the Qing court is relatively high, naturally they can't let them leave casually, otherwise they can return to Nanjing by turning around.

These people were broken up and divided into several troops.

When attacking Nanjing, these people can be sent to fill the moat, dig tunnels, and consume the enemy's defense materials. The surrender is someone who does this kind of work professionally.

This kind of soldier who is more difficult to surrender will feel a little bit painful for Wu Changqing if he dies. However, this is the best way to deal with it.

Not many soldiers chose to take the money home. After all, most of the reason why they joined the army before was because they couldn't live without land.

Even after returning home, he still has to come to serve as a soldier. Rather than that, it is better to stay now and get one or two more military pay.
