Chapter 525 Amnesty
At noon, according to the agreement, His Highness the Crown Prince formally issued a series of amnesty orders to the Qing royal family.
According to the original Ming Dynasty laws, everyone should have been beheaded by the Meridian Gate, but now they have left a life for them, including Dorgon, all people can survive.
"The Ming army is mighty, the Ming army is mighty!"
After the amnesty order was promulgated, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers shouted around the capital, which also made them feel relieved. After all, this was a phased victory. The initial mission of occupying the capital was completed.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made the capital his ultimate goal when he made the Northern Expedition, he still remembered it now!
Although they kept winning along the way, many people still lost their names. Everyone thought that the war would end soon, and now it has finally arrived.
Of course, some militants were dissatisfied with each other. They thought there would be a big war around the capital, but now they suddenly announced a peace talk, and the peace talks were successful, which made them unable to accept it.
Running from Nanjing from afar, did you stand outside the capital for a few days? Is this battle over?
There were still 70,000 to 80,000 people around the capital, and they also ran over. When the Ming army first entered the Zhili territory, they really couldn't get along well with these people.
It is mainly because the Ming army left a bad impression in the past. Now a few months have passed. Although it has not reached the level of military and civilian relationship, the two sides have gotten along well, at least they will not be wary of each other.
Moreover, many ordinary people who had no food to eat found a living in the Ming army, so of course it was impossible to arrange everyone.
As for those who have not found a living, they should temporarily lend you some living materials according to the court's lending policy, and repay them to the court when you have the ability to repay them. This can be regarded as resettlement of them in advance.
When new dynasties were established in all dynasties, they had to face the defeat of the entire society. However, due to the lending policy of the new dynasty, the production recovery of the entire society was more than ten times faster than that of other dynasties.
Take the territory around the capital for example. According to the original estimates of the imperial officials, it is already quite good to be able to resume production within ten years.
However, under the new policy of His Royal Highness, less than half a year has passed, and forty percent of the land has been used. This speed has to make everyone sigh that His Royal Highness is really the savior of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's already been agreed upon. Could it be that these people want to find trouble again?"
Hu Qiang looked up at the sun in the sky. According to the agreed time before, all four city gates should be opened, and the Qing people should have walked out of the city gates. But now the four city gates are still closed. Will there be any trouble in the end?
"General, don't worry. Look at the city wall. Their Eight Banners Dragon Banners have been removed. The lower officials will probably bear fruit soon."
Zhao Fangzheng said comfortingly, indeed, as he said, the soldiers on the city wall have retreated. In this era, the concept of time is not very strong, so it is okay to give them more time.
After about half an incense stick, the city gate of the south gate was slowly opened.
The Ming soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief. They were the same as the general's thoughts just now. If these Qing people repent, we would never accept any form of peace talks this time and would have to beat them up.
After the gate of Nancheng opened, the army that was standing in front was the defensive walls, and they were among the few elite troops left in the Qing Dynasty.
At this moment, after walking out of the city gate fifty meters as agreed before, he put his weapons in front and then gathered on the left, where a huge circle had been drawn for them, and everyone would gather here, waiting for the next arrangement of the Ming Dynasty court.
"Tell your brothers, keep calm. Even if something special happens, you can't do it too much. Now we have not grasped the whole situation. When these people come out of the city, then whatever we say is what we say."
Hu Qiang was still a little worried. The fight between the two sides was so bloody that it was impossible for them to become good friends for the time being, so they had to remind their subordinates not to relax too much, and not to be too urgent.
Because of the previous incident, it is also a tense situation to be surrendered now. All the soldiers are loaded with bullets. If someone dares to plot against others, the killing on the spot is likely to happen.
In addition to the Nancheng, the other three city gates were also opened, and some surrendered soldiers began to slowly walk out of the capital. Now an hour has passed. According to statistics from the Ming Dynasty, 8,500 soldiers have already walked out of the city.
However, His Royal Highness and many generals were still very nervous. There were 8,500 soldiers sounded a lot, but compared with the Qing soldiers in the entire capital, this was still only a small part of them.
So it is not time to be happy yet, we have to continue to wait for more Qing soldiers to come out of the city.
“Are the roads around them blocked?”
Zhu Cilang said with some concern, afraid that some of the people would be mixed with the common people, so he took advantage of the relaxation of our spirits and then found a chance to run away. At that time, there would be no way to punish them.
"If you go back to His Highness, our army has set up inspection posts for all roads leaving the capital within 30 miles of the capital. In these few days, it is allowed to enter and leave."
After hearing Hu Qiang's answer, Zhu Cilang was relieved to check the ward, and he only had the primary ability to identify.
If someone pretends to be more similar, I am afraid these soldiers will not be able to tell the difference. There are only a few days left, so I should just do it more strictly and never let these people who are extremely guilty and go out.
According to the old rules, all the surrendered soldiers were grouped into ten, and tied their right arm with ropes.
No matter whether you eat, drink, defecate, or urinate, you must be together. If one person runs away, you can think about the consequences of the remaining nine people.
The first batch of Qing Dynasty soldiers had a total of 17,000 people. Now it has been completed. Next are the Mongolian cavalry in the city...
Next…
