In the meeting hall, Wang Baobao was taken out of the prison. After being locked up for only a day, this once elegant and elegant Dayuan general and powerful official seemed to have aged by more than ten years. His face was pale and his expression was gloomy, like a walking corpse that had lost its spirit.
Zhu Biao thought to himself, It seems that the death of 170,000 Yuan Dynasty soldiers has dealt a huge blow to Wang Baobao!
However, it was understandable. Although they had only met once, Zhu Biao could tell that Wang Baobao was definitely an extremely confident and responsible person. He must have always seen himself as a minister who revived the Dayuan Empire during its decline and often took it upon himself to revive the glory of the past. However, this time, he personally buried the remaining main army that could compete with the Ming Dynasty. It was equivalent to personally destroying the hope of the revival of Dayuan. From a famous minister to a sinful minister who destroyed the country, this fluctuation was too great. He would definitely find it difficult to adapt in a short time. The strong sense of guilt was torturing him.
In psychology, this was called extreme self-denial and self-destruction caused by a strong sense of guilt.
Zhu Biao even suspected that if it wasn't for the fact that Minmin Timur was still alive and Wang Baobao was concerned about her, he would have committed suicide in prison.
Of course, these were the opinions of Zhu Biao, who had read some miscellaneous books on psychology in modern times. His brain had been developed to 13%, and he had a deep impression of what he had read before.
For example, he could completely write down every novel that he had read in the modern era, which had millions of words. He could also completely restore every movie that he had seen, including what the characters did, said, and had micro-expressions in every scene.
"Kuokuo Timur, I am Commander Xu Da. We can be considered old rivals. We even fought in Shandong at the end of October last year. However, in the past, we were all in our respective formations, so we couldn't meet each other. Now that we have finally met in person, I have always praised you and said that you are a strange man in the world!”
Wang Baobao smiled bitterly." Xu Da, Xu Tiande. I know that you are the number one general under Zhu Yuanzhang. I am completely convinced that you have defeated him!"”
Xu Da laughed loudly and said," Kuokuo Timur, you guessed wrong this time, and you were very wrong. You didn't lose to me, Xu Da, but to the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty. You used Bianliang as bait to lure you out of the capital, and then our army waited for you at ease. These were all the Crown Prince's plans, and I, Xu Da, was only the executor!”
"What?" When Wang Baobao heard this news, he was very surprised. He looked at the thirteen-year-old youth who was sitting on the first seat on Xu Da's left. He was wearing a bright yellow python robe. His expression changed unpredictably, sometimes green and sometimes white. Finally, he looked up at the sky and sighed sadly."To think that I, Kuokuo Timur, who prided myself as a famous general of the world, would actually be defeated by a child! Longevity Heaven, how cruel are you to me! Puff!"
After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a dejected expression.
Xu Da quickly got someone to carry Kuokuo Timur down and instructed the military doctor to take a look at him.
"Originally, we were prepared to persuade him to help us go to the capital to summon Emperor Yuan Shun to surrender, but now, we haven't even talked about this matter, and he's already spitting blood from anger!”Xu Da shook his head and pretended to sigh.
Zhu Biao was also very embarrassed. From the beginning to the end, he had been sitting there obediently without saying a word. Was he being shot while lying down?
Chang Yuchun chuckled." If our Old Chang were Wang Baobao, he would vomit blood if he knew that he lost to a thirteen-year-old young man after being called a famous general for his entire life. Moreover, he even pawned his underwear!”
Deng Yu thought it was right.
Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by these three people. He decided to change the topic."Since we can't discuss the surrender now, let's talk about how to deal with the captured Yuan Dynasty soldiers. This time, Wang Baobao brought 170,000 soldiers with him. Excluding those who died and those who escaped, there are a total of 133,000 people. "If I take them all in, then adding on the 80,000 elite Mongol soldiers in Bianliang, that means that my army will have more than 210,000 Mongol soldiers!
"Our northern expedition army, including General Deng's Shandong soldiers, only has less than 250,000 soldiers. The proportion of Mongolian soldiers is already close to half. This is a very unstable factor. If someone colludes and causes a mutiny, the consequences will be unimaginable! Do the three beloved ministers have any good suggestions on how to properly settle these Mongolian soldiers?”
Once this question was thrown out, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Deng Yu couldn't relax either.
Indeed, it was common to take in captives after a war. This could replenish the army, but the proportion of captives could not exceed one-fifth. If it did not exceed one-fifth, it could still be controlled. If it exceeded this ratio, it would not be safe. Once someone secretly contacted them, it would be difficult to suppress them. The Northern Expedition Army now had nearly one-half of them. If it was not handled in time, it would be a gunpowder barrel that could explode at any time!
Chang Yuchun slammed the table and muttered fiercely,""Kill them! He could only learn from Baiqi and kill 150,000 to 150,000 captives. He had to control the number of Mongolian soldiers within 50,000 to 100,000. Otherwise, it would be troublesome! If you can't do it, we'll go often!”
Deng Yu wanted to say something but stopped. There was a saying in the army that killing prisoners was ominous, let alone killing so many people at once.
Xu Da didn't agree with Chang Yuchun's method either.""There are so many young and strong men. They are all good labor. Killing them would be a waste. It's not worth it.”
Xu Da's words reminded Zhu Biao. He suddenly realized that the Yangtze River basin often flooded, and the Ming Dynasty's capital, Yingtian Prefecture, was located downstream of the Yangtze River. Once the river flooded, it was easy to be flooded. Therefore, controlling the Yangtze River floods had always been one of the top priorities of the imperial court. Why not send these captured soldiers to the Yangtze River to build dams? Good free labor!
