Chapter 377: Killing the Prisoner

Zhu Cihong looked at the corpses all over the ground and knew that although the battle was a great victory, it also sacrificed many soldiers of the Ming army.

He looked at Yang Qili beside him and asked, "Which group of men and horses was the first to land on the north shore?" ”

Yang Qili replied: "Back to Your Highness, it is the men and horses of my Tianwu Army, it seems to be the department of Master Sun." ”

Sun Yingyuan laughed and said: "It is the third regiment of the first brigade of our department, which is the commander of that regiment." ”

He pointed to Qi Guangyang, who was repairing not far away, and ordered someone to bring him to meet the crown prince, and then said: "Liu Dawei, the commander of the previous three regiments, died on the shore, and the deputy regiment commander took over the command as usual, and rushed to the front, and was the first general of our army to fight on the north shore, and he also beheaded eighteen people in a row, and suffered six knife wounds!" ”

Zhu Cihong raised his eyebrows, looking at the deputy regiment commander who was hurrying over, but saw that this person was only a young man about twenty years old, and being able to be promoted to the position of deputy regiment commander in Tianwu Army at such an age shows that this person's ability is extraordinary.

"What's your name!" Zhu Cihong looked at the young general and asked.

The deputy head of the regiment clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general will be far away Qi Guangyang!" ”

"Dingyuan Qi Guangyang......" Zhu Cihong muttered silently, always feeling that this sentence was somewhat familiar, it seemed that Qi Jiguang had always been named after Dingyuan Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang's ancestor Qi Xiang, whose ancestral home is Dingyuan, Fengyang Prefecture, once served as a personal soldier of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, followed Emperor Taizu to fight for many years, and later died when he followed the blue jade expedition to Yunnan, and his descendants were hereditary generals Mingwei in Dengzhou, Shandong.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's suspicious expression, Sun Yingyuan explained: "Your Highness, Qi Guangyang is a member of the Dingyuan Qi clan and the grandson of Wulie Qi Jin. ”

Qi Jin is Qi Jiguang's nephew of the same sect, and he followed Qi Jiguang to fight in the north and south all the year round, from the south to fight the Mongols in the north.

Zhu Cihong suddenly understood that Qi Jin died in the Hunhe River twenty years ago, and the remnants of the Qi family's army disappeared since then, no wonder this Qi Guangyang was so desperate.

He sighed: "It turns out that after Zhongliang, there is a successor to the Qi family's army!" ”

Qi Guangyang's face was sad, since the death of his grandfather Qi Jin, several uncles have settled in Dingyuan, unwilling to enter the court as an official, he grew up listening to the story of the Qi family army since he was a child, and he has been determined to be like Qi Shaobao, like his grandfather Qi Jin, to be a famous general, and to avenge the Qi family army!

When the Tianwu Army recruited troops in Fengyang Mansion, Qi Guangyang joined the army with a vision of ideals, and then fought with the Tianwu Army, and through several years of hard work, he rose from a small soldier all the way to the deputy regiment commander, and he emerged in the Battle of the Hunhe River, and completed his dream step by step.

Zhu Cihong encouraged him, Qi Guangyang's heart moved, and he was even more determined to strive for the goal of becoming a famous general.

As he spoke, suddenly there was a commotion in the distance: "Spore Smecta!" ”

Smecta? North Korean soldiers? Zhu Cihong was stunned, he didn't expect to meet North Koreans here.

He looked around, only to see a group of captives similar to the Qing army's attire shouting there, these prisoners were also wearing cotton armor with bubble nails, some of the helmets had three-pronged rods on the top, and some of the helmets did not know where they had fallen, revealing long hair that was different from the Qing army.

Zhu remembered the boasting of some Koreans in later generations, saying that in the Battle of Songjin, thousands of Korean musketeers participated in the battle, and they were the ones who turned the tide of the war, and the Koreans believed that the Manchu Qing were able to achieve victory because of their artillery (arquebus).

For example, the "Records of the Li Dynasty of North Korea" recorded: "Yes, the Han soldiers died a lot, and the people who were hit by the artillery were seven or eight out of ten, and the Han people hated our country more and more since then." ”

That is to say, seventy or eighty percent of the Ming army was killed by North Korean artillery, and since then the Han people have begun to hate North Korea, Zhu Cihong really doesn't understand why the sticks are so confident.......

Yang Qili saw that the crown prince dared to be interested in these Koreans, so he ordered someone to drag a few Korean soldiers.

Zhu Cihong asked: "Is it a North Korean soldier?" ”

The North Korean soldier nodded again and again and said, "Master...... ...... Grandpa"

With a sonorous sound, Xu Sheng had already drawn out the sword, pointed at him viciously, and shouted, "Grandpa? Presumptuous, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, do you dare to climb the relationship and pretend to be a royal family? ”

Zhu Cihong felt funny, the North Korean soldier replied yes, but it was transliterated by Xu Sheng as grandfather.

The North Korean soldier was immediately frightened, and hurriedly said, "Ah, you! Ahh ”

Xu Sheng kicked it to the ground and said, "Yo, yo, yo, your mother!" ”

A North Korean general hiding behind couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked out and said in fluent Chinese: "Your Majesty the Minister, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire!" ”

Like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the upper echelons of North Korea can also speak Chinese, this North Korean general obviously knew that he had nothing to hide, so he had to come out to try his luck, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea have always loved and cared, and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty should not embarrass himself......

Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said, "What's the matter, Li Liang joined Jiannu and couldn't wait to send troops to flatter Huang Taiji?" ”

Seeing that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty had a bad face, the Korean general was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a plop and explained: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't misunderstand, the Ming Dynasty is as kind as a mountain in a small country, and the lord of our country dare not forget it. ”

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "You want to shirk responsibility as a last resort? Take it down! ”

The Korean general felt bad, and he panicked even more, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, His Royal Highness spares his life, the small country is forced to be helpless, and the ministers are also acting according to orders......"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand impatiently, and several guards of the Yongwei Battalion immediately dragged him far away.

Gu Wei of the Ministry of Military Justice asked: "Your Highness, what should we do with these prisoners?" ”

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "All the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Korean prisoners were killed, all the Han army flag officers were executed, all the flag soldiers who went to the pass were executed, and the rest of the people were screened and then disposed of!" ”

How many people must be killed, and a chill immediately swelled up in everyone's hearts.

Mao Yuanyi hesitated: "Your Highness, these Korean soldiers were also killed?" They ......"

He wanted to say that they were once the hardcore vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and if they were sent to Jingshi and let the Holy Lord adjudicate, they would definitely not be killed, and they would be grateful to Dai De and return to China to reflect on it, so as to show the grace of the Ming Dynasty, so as to let other vassal states around them know that the Ming Dynasty was tolerant.

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "You remember, no matter who dares to go against my Ming Dynasty and dare to kill my Tianwu Army, there is only one way to die!" ”

The surrounding Tianwu army generals immediately lifted their spirits and their emotions were high, the crown prince's words were more precious than any guarantee, and they completely regarded the Tianwu Army as their own pro-army and put it in the same supreme position as the country!

This is cohesion, maybe Zhu Cihong alone can't save the Ming Dynasty, but he now has 100,000 Tianwu soldiers standing behind him, they are the new ruling class of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and they are Zhu Cihong's sword to change the sky and overthrow all the rotten times!

Not only that, Zhu Cihong's next step is to fight for the titles of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army, go to Jiangnan to grab land and women, give them the best resources, defend the imperial power with military power, chop the waves, and recreate the world!

Zhu Cihong asked Yang Qili: "What is the situation of the other armies?" ”

Yang Qili said respectfully: "All the armies are gathering in Shengjing, and everyone is rushing to be the first to capture Shengjing and be knighted!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "The Eight Banners Army is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and it is not difficult to defeat Shengjing, you should also prepare, and strive to let my Tianwu Army lead the city and go down in history!" ”

The generals of the Tianwu Army immediately shouted: "The last general will give orders and guarantee the completion of the task!" ”
