Chapter 612: Unworthy of Ancestors

The Battle of Jinzhou lasted for two days and one night, until Zhu Cihong led the Royal Forest Army to return, the entire battlefield stopped, and only the nail Huzu Dale still led the ancestral family to stick to Jinzhou City.

In this battle, the Ming army attacked and pursued the routed soldiers, beheaded nearly 30,000 enemies, and captured more than 40,000 Qing troops, of which tens of thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners were killed and wounded, and they were almost destroyed.

Killed Suke Saha, the owner of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, Turg, the owner of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, the royal camp of Dolgon, Baya Laqizhang Jing Bahana, four people of the Eight Banners Han Army, Joseon, and Dongying Banners, twenty-seven people from Jialazhangjing, and ninety-five people from Niulu Zhangjing.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Qing, and Zhu Cihong, the nemesis of the Qing Dynasty, took over the Yongwei camp.

After several battles, the Manchurian soldiers of the Eight Banners were almost wiped out, and there were not many young people over the age of fourteen in the whole clan, and it would take at least ten years for Dolgon to re-establish the Manchurian Eight Banners.

Without the deterrence of the Eight Banners, there would inevitably be chaos within the Qing court, and the cards would be reshuffled again.

After this war, the Manchu Qing were no longer capable of fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army was able to recover the entire territory of Liaodong before the autumn sowing, pacify the people, and distribute land.

In the Jinzhou War, the losses of the Ming army were also very large, the number of casualties of the Jingwu army was as high as 5,000, the Tianwu army lost more than 3,000 soldiers, the Liaodong army was more than 6,000 people, and Zhu Youneng's Zhenghuang Banner 6,000 people were basically exhausted, and the rest were still fighting Jinzhou City.

On the banks of the Xiaoling River, there are densely packed with makeshift tents, full of wounded soldiers, military doctors and people, and medicines such as hemostasis and plague avoidance pills are transported here one by one.

The various units of the Ming army searched for the remnants of the Qing army around the battlefield, and at the same time collected the captured prisoners, and the civilian service of the army also entered the battlefield to sweep, bury the corpses, collect the captured booty, and so on.

The surrounding cannons rumbled, Jinzhou City has become a lonely city, and Zu Dale in the city is also very clear about his situation, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, his cousin Zu Dashou is gone, and his nephew Wu Sangui has also run away, and Jinzhou City is difficult to preserve.

Now there are only three ways in front of him, one is to continue to hold on and wait for reinforcements, the second is to break through, and the third is to surrender.

But everyone knows that this young Emperor Tianwu is cruel to traitors, and he is prone to raiding his family and exterminating his family, who can stand it!

In fact, at this time, including Zu Dale, no one has any hope for reinforcements, even Zu Dashou's eldest son Zu Zerun has run away, where did he get any reinforcements.

I just hope that everyone will break through with their abilities, and if they can't get out, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

In general breakout battles, only a few can successfully get out, and the vast majority of people will become cannon fodder.

However, this time it was an exception, Zu Dale, Zu Kefa and other main figures of the ancestral family led some people and horses, and broke through from three directions of Jinzhou City at the same time overnight at the fifth watch, and were wrapped dumplings without accident.

Faced with the muzzles and muzzles of the black holes, the Jinzhou soldiers basically chose to surrender on their knees.

The Ming army entered Jinzhou City in a mighty way, and when it reached the archway in the city, Zhu Cihong looked up at the archway more than ten meters high in front of him and frowned.

This memorial arch is the imperial court for the ancestor of the longevity of the Gong Gong archway, carved with a double dragon, with a horse riding out map, a screed figure and a variety of sea beasts, lotus patterns and other exquisite patterns. (History is in Ningyuan, history changes in this book)

After the Liaodong War, Wu Sangui was awarded the title of Pingxi Bo, Zu Dashou was not knighted, Emperor Chongzhen in order to appease the ancestral family, but also in order to arouse the loyalty and courage of the ancestral family, this is the archway for them, give the "loyalty, courage and wisdom" four words, praise Zu Dashou loyalty, wisdom and courage.

It turns out that the ancestral family finally became a bitch to set up the archway......

Zhu Cihong pointed to this memorial arch and said, "I'll blow it up later!" ”

Xu Sheng nodded in response, only to hear Zhu Cihong ask again: "What about the people of the ancestral family?" What about Wu Sangui's two or five boys? ”

"Your Majesty, Zu Dashou was killed in the escape, Wu Sangui and Zu Zerun ran away, Zu Dale and Zu Kefa broke through and were captured....."

Zhu Cihong sighed and said secretly: "This Wu Sangui can run, is this to inherit Liu Zeqing's title of the first in the world?" ”

"Come on, drag Zu Dale and the others up!"

With Xu Sheng's shout, a group of cavalry dragged a group of Qing generals with their hands tied, cheering and running.

Zhu Cihong looked at Zu Dale, who was no stranger to him, and his heart was a little complicated.

The power of the ancestral family is deeply rooted in Liaodong, especially in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the ancestral family is flourishing.

At that time, Yuan Chonghuan, who resigned at home, had just been reactivated by Chongzhen, and there was a mutiny in Ningyuan in Liaodong, and the thirteen battalions of Ningyuan, which had no salary for four months, were in chaos, kidnapping the governor and blackmailing the imperial court, only Zu Dale's battalion did not move, and finally Yuan Chonghuan quelled the mutiny, and the ancestral family was also commended.

The change of Jisi, the Central Plains suppression, several generals of the ancestral family contributed a lot, and they were constantly promoted, even Lu Xiangsheng praised Zu Dale, and the soldiers who came to the aid of the suppression, but the Liao Ding under the command of Zu Dale and Zu Kuan was the strongest, and the most thieves were killed.

However, Zu Dale and others had a close personal relationship with Sun Degong, who had already committed treason, and had long had the ambition to descend to Jin, half of the ancestral family was in the Qing Dynasty, half was in the Ming Dynasty, and they ate it all, and they disregarded the national righteousness for the sake of the family's interests......

Xu Sheng pointed to one of the Qing generals and said: "Your Majesty, the one with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks is Xia Chengde, you used to ask your ministers to remember this person, saying that you would cut him with a thousand knives and exterminate his family!" ”

"Is it the traitor who sold the old general Jin in the twelfth year of Chongzhen and dedicated the city to Dolgon?"

"Yes, that's him!"

Zhu Cihong glanced at Xia Chengde in disgust, and said, "Then he will be cut by a thousand knives and exterminated!" I hate such a traitor, and I'd better blow up his ancestral grave too! ”

An official said: "This ..... Your Majesty, isn't there something wrong with that....."

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "Traitors don't deserve to have ancestors!" They're bitched! ”

The unkempt Xia Chengde immediately fell to the ground when he heard this, shouting: "Your Majesty, the slave ......"

Under the plot, he found that the title was wrong, and he immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, the last general has been wronged, and the last general deliberately went to the Ming Dynasty for the sake ......of the Ming Dynasty."

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a Royal Forest soldier slammed the butt of his gun on the back of Xia Chengde's head, stopping his noise, and then two brocade guards took over and dragged him away to prepare for a Ling Chi test.

Zhu Cihong swept around the two Tartars of Zu Dale, there was no more turmoil in his heart, and waved and said, "It's all disposed of, Ling Chi!" In the future, all the traitors will be executed, and they will be cut by a thousand knives! ”

Zhu Cihong was also thinking about it, it's time to change the "Da Ming Law", and these traitors, we should compile a book of biography of the two ministers, traitors or something, and compile them into school textbooks to educate and warn future generations.

In addition to these traitorous Tartars, there were many more traitor officials and captives.

Zhu Cihong thought about it again and again, and decided to use it once and exile all the traitor officials to the area of Jiayuguan to build the great northwest.

For the tens of thousands of captured Qing troops, those with combat power can be selected to form a captive army, called the sin army, that is, the cannon fodder regiment, to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty and reduce the losses of the Ming army.

The weak among the captives, those who are malnourished and have difficulty marching, are not suitable for soldiers, can be dragged to the labor camp to build a new Liaodong.

As for those seriously wounded prisoners of war, those who were scrapped by poisonous smoke bombs, and those who were even struggling with labor reform, they were all executed one after another!

Daming is not a charitable court, and it does not raise waste people! Especially prisoners of war! Those who have no use value will all die, this is the reality.

After the war, it was not easy for even its own citizens to survive, and some resources were distributed to prisoners? Eat fart!
