I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"General, what to do with these prisoners?"

Li Shaobin asked.

"It's an old rule, the Han people surrender, and all the Tartars are killed."

Liu Hansan said that he felt that Wu Changqing hated the Manchu and Qing Tatars very much, so he made this suggestion.

But in fact, the original body has a deep prejudice against the Manchus, and now Wu Changqing has no prejudice against the Manchus, after all, he is from the 21st century.

At that time, the Manchus and Hans had already become a family, and it was a family of Manchus and Hans.

Moreover, Manchus and Hans are extremely indistinguishable from the outside unless they go through their hukou books.

In Wu Changqing's view, there is no need to separate them into two ethnic groups. Wouldn't it be better to call them the Huaxia ethnic group?

Of course, in this day and age, there is still a big hatred and estrangement between the Han people and the Manchu people. Wu Changqing can't rush to call out the Manchu-Han family, otherwise the soldiers under his command will not agree.

Of course, he wouldn't go and kill and abuse these Manchu soldiers.

"No, killing these captives will only increase the Manchus' hostility to us and strengthen their will to fight to the death. The Manchus can tolerate and surrender our Han soldiers, and we can also recruit and surrender Manchu Tatar soldiers.

I want to let the Manchus in the north know that as long as they surrender to me, they can get a good home, and I want to disintegrate their fighting spirit. "

Wu Changqing found an excuse to cover up the real reason why he didn't want to kill Manchu soldiers.

This rhetoric is also very convincing. After all, killing unarmed prisoners is a hurtful thing, and most generals are not willing to do so.

"But General, if we don't kill these Manchus, the people will probably be unhappy. After all, they have slaughtered so many of our people."

Liu Hansan said that public opinion also needs to be considered.

Today, the Han people in the south must hate the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to the core, and they can't wait to burn them to ashes.

"I will find a way to guide public opinion and transfer the hatred of the people to the leader of the Manchu Tatars. In short, I will not kill prisoners at will, and this matter does not need to be discussed again. Next, you just need to take good care of it. As for the Han prisoners, the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers should be imprisoned first, and I will send someone to carry out special reforms.”

Wu Changqing said that he planned to persuade the captives of Manchu and Mongolia to surrender, and accept those who could persuade them to surrender. If you really don't want to surrender, then throw it directly into the mine to mine.

It can be exploited, but not indiscriminately killed. This is Wu Changqing's principle.

As for public opinion, this is actually quite simple. His newspaper was not for fun.

It is only necessary to ask Wei Ziwen to write a few articles, allocating the crime of massacred people to the generals of the Qing Dynasty, implying that ordinary soldiers are only acting on orders, and the people's resentment towards ordinary soldiers will naturally weaken.

Of course, it is not so easy to forgive completely, and it will take time to complete the national integration.

"Then Azige, did you escort him to Shaoxing and let the court behead him to show the public and inspire people's hearts?"

Qian Sule suggested that the Manchu Qing had sent many princes surnamed Zhu to Beijing to be beheaded and displayed to the public. Now they have finally caught an authentic prince of the Qing Dynasty, and of course they have to take revenge.

However, Wu Changqing did not want this.

Directly beheading Azig is the most evil, and there is not much practical benefit.

However, if the Manchu Qing was asked to use money to redeem people, it could be exchanged for a large amount of money to expand the army.

How can a British prince be exchanged for 50,000 taels?

If Hong Chengchou was caught, Wu Changqing would not exchange it even if the Manchu Qing took 100,000 taels. After all, Hong Chengchou had strategy and talent, and his value was far more than 100,000 taels.

And Azige, I'm sorry, apart from his special status, there is really nothing worthy of Wu Changqing's attention.

Although there is a lot of bravery, it is a pity that this kind of bravery does not help much in a big battle.

Especially now that Wu Jun is still gradually entering the era of hot weapons, bravery is even more vulnerable in front of firearms.

If the Qing Dynasty was willing to exchange fifty thousand taels of silver, Wu Changqing would agree without hesitation.

On the contrary, if the Manchu Qing wanted to redeem those Manchu generals at the middle and lower levels, Wu Changqing would not agree. After all, these middle and low-level Manchu generals were the backbone of an army.

"I can't cut it, it's too wasteful. I'm going to send an envoy to Nanjing and ask them to redeem the people with 100,000 taels of silver."

Wu Changqing said.

"No general, wouldn't that let the tiger return to the mountain?" Qian Sule quickly persuaded.

"Let the tiger return to the mountain, Mr. Qian looks down on this Aziger too much. Putting Aziger back will not have any effect on us, but without these 100,000 taels of silver, the speed of our army expansion will slow down."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Wu Changqing's tone. These bastard generals only knew how to fight and didn't worry about military pay. He was supporting them all by himself.

If you don't know how expensive Chai Mi is, how can these guys know how much money it takes to maintain an army of 100,000 people.

This......

Qian Sule was speechless all of a sudden. He didn't actually say that he really thought Azige was so powerful, but the symbolic meaning of beheading Aziger was great.

However, Wu Changqing used money to block him, and he had nothing to do.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is naturally more tangible than a symbolic meaning.

"I'm in favor of exchanging Azig for money. Now our army is going to carry out the next round of military expansion, and there is a lot of pressure on military spending."

Dai Zhijun is in charge of logistics, and he also pays more attention to practical interests.

Unless someone can turn out 100,000 taels of silver to solve the problem of military spending, they will not dare to mention the matter of escorting Azige back to Shaoxing.

However, Qian Sule was worried, worried that Wu Changqing's unauthorized proposition would make Zhu Yihai of Lu Jianguo unhappy.

After all, for Zhu Yihai, this symbolism is very important and can add a lot of prestige to him.

More importantly, the money Wu Changqing exchanged will not be turned over, which will not benefit Zhu Yihai at all.

"What if the Qing army refuses to change?"

Xiong Rulin asked, they still care about prostitution in exchange for 100,000 taels, and the Qing army did not agree.

"If they don't exchange, I will escort Azige to the gate of Nanjing and torture him in front of them until they pay.

If they didn't pay for it, I'm afraid other Manchu generals would not dare to take the lead in the charge in the future. "

Wu Changqing said that if the other party does not change, it will be a great blow to their morale.

More importantly, Azig is Dorgon's brother and a prince. With this special identity, his affairs are destined to become a big problem.

Those who are at odds with Azige will oppose paying the money, and those who have a good relationship with Azige will insist on paying. If the two forces can split and fight because of this, Wu Changqing can snicker.

Of course, this is obviously unlikely.
