PS: Continue to ask for collections, subscriptions, and monthly passes!
"On the 21st day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Ministry of Labor was ordered to pursue the remnants of slaves and thieves in the direction of Jinan Mansion, and chased them to the vicinity of Wangsupu Village. The Beijing guerrilla led by Wu was frustrated in this siege, and the enemy was arrogant and stubborn. The headquarters then went into attack, firing a volley of fire with firearms, and then assaulting with all bayonets. He Changqing, the commander of the first team of the left outpost of the post department, took the lead in rushing to the front of the remnants of the enemy and fought the enemy with bayonets. Suddenly, a tall slave and thief general rushed out of the pool of blood, dressed in gilded armor and holding a steel knife, glaring at He Changqing angrily. He Jiachang was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do. At this time, the elder Lin Huai, the commander of his armor behind him, shouted loudly and stabbed the leader of the slave thief with a bayonet, but was unexpectedly blocked by the thief with the big knife in his hand. At this time, He Jiachang stabbed with the bayonet in his hand, and the bayonet pierced three layers of armor and stabbed the leader in the ribs. However, the thief was so fierce that instead of falling, he held the long fire gun of Hejia in his hand and tried in vain to pull the bayonet out of himself. When the two sides were at a stalemate, Lin Huaichang and Xiao Biao, a soldier with the armor, rushed forward to make up for a knife, and the thief fell to the ground in despair. After the captives identified and confessed, and the belongings of the leader of the slave and thieves were verified, there was no doubt that they were the owners of the Red Banner of the pseudo-Qing rebel thief, the pretending to be the king of the county, and the general of Yangwu. ”
On the lobby of Changqing County, which was temporarily set up as a line, looking at the military intelligence documents that were hastily drafted in Weida Port, although he had already been mentally prepared for a great victory, Shouhan's hand still trembled slightly.
In this battle, if a Manchu prince-level general can be killed, it can be described as an unprecedented victory. It is no less than the so-called Ningyuan victory that was touted to heaven. Old Nurhachi died in that battle more than half a year later. I'm going to kill you on the spot!
"Have you ever really identified it?!" In order to prevent the joke that the national army killed Liu Bocheng many times, Shouhan was still very cautious and asked the officer who reported the news again.
"That's right! The captured Manchurian soldiers were crying and screaming. Just in case, Brigadier Wu also captured a few captives with red flag Manchuria and white flag Manchuria to identify, and these dog thieves unanimously confirmed that it was Yue Tuo! ”
"General!? What do you say? ”
Wang Chengen, who had just passed the cannon addiction, was so shocked that he dropped the hot cocoa in his hand to the ground, and the delicate glass shattered on the spot, splashing the cocoa all over him. But at this time, he couldn't care about that much, he and Wang Dehua stepped forward to surround Shouhan one left and one right, and their four eyes stared at Shouhan's face like a wolf.
Shouhan tried to calm down. I plan to learn from Xie An's "The children have broken the thief!" "The clouds are light and the wind is light. However, I can't cultivate at home.
"The garrison brigade has come to report the success paperwork. They beheaded the slave chieftain and pretended to be the king of the county! ”
In the midst of the two princes' tears of joy, Shouhan stepped into the courtyard, "Hehe! Yue Tuo! This Jinan is the end of your life! You can hide from smallpox, but you can't escape the bayonet! The cycle of retribution is unpleasant! ”
The city soon erupted in the sound of sporadic firecrackers. The frightened people of Changqing got the news of the killing of the thief I giant chief Yuetuo. Start celebrating in your own way. Soon. The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, good news followed.
"Our department killed the master of the Yellow Flag of the Pseudo-Eight Banners of Mongolia! Capture its woven golden dragon silk, armor, seals, and more! ”
"Our department has captured the master of the white flag of the puppet Eight Banners Mongolia! Seized its woven gold dragon silk, honor guard and other items! ”
"Our department has captured two people, the pseudo-Zhengzheng Red Banner, Manchuria, Jialazhangjing! Capture flags, armor and more! ”
"Our department killed three ...... of the fake white flag, Manchurian Niulu, Zhangjing"
The succession of good news made people feel a little aesthetically fatigued, and at first the good news came when firecrackers were set off in the city to celebrate. But the good news has come more, and the sound of firecrackers has become much less.
However, after breakfast, a piece of news made the whole city boil!
"My lord! Lord! My Guards Brigade was born and captured the puppet inlaid red flag Manchurian flag master, the puppet slave chieftain Anping Beledudu! ”
On the official road leading from the east gate of Changqing to Jinan Mansion, a wooden pillar hastily converted from a house beam stood on a tattered carriage, and Anping Beledudu, the eldest son and eldest grandson of Nurhachi, was tied up to resemble a pig about to be slaughtered. In order to ensure that Du Du could be safely sent to Shouhan, Lu Yunsheng transferred a battalion of troops to escort him along the way to prevent the remnants of Jiannu from robbing Du Du, and at the same time, in order to keep the secret, prohibiting the people along the way from watching and approaching.
Hearing that the puppet Qing Anping Baylor was escorted into the county office, Wang Dehua grabbed an embroidered spring knife and rushed to the courtyard, and rushed straight to the carriage that bound Du Du.
"Princess, what do you mean?!"
Ordered someone to snatch the knife from his hand, and Shouhan stared at him coldly.
"We're going to cut him! I want to vent my evil anger for the emperor! We want to avenge the death of the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"You slashed him with a sword, but you fulfilled him! If you slash him with one sword, hundreds of thousands, millions of Ming people who were killed and captured by them will be able to come back to life? ”
"Princess, it's better to be restless, just listen to the general's arrangement! General, when will we go north to take this and the slave chieftain to your majesty? ”
Wang Chengen played a round between Shouhan and Wang Dehua, so as not to quarrel between the two sides. Wang Dehua was also quick to see the opportunity, and he knew very well that Shouhan didn't speak, and he couldn't even touch the corners of Du Du's clothes. Since Wang Chengen came out and said that it was appropriate, even if he got off the donkey. Unexpectedly, Du Du began to scold over there.
"Come on! Kill me! You steered donkey! Eggless goods! ”
"Lao Tzu is in Jinan Mansion, and he occupies the Dewang Mansion of your Ming Zhu family, and King De's wife, concubine, daughter-in-law, and daughter sleep next to each other! Lao Tzu's fifteenth uncle put several concubines of King De on a bed and slept in turns! ”
"Although Lao Tzu was defeated and captured, I still have 100,000 tigers and wolves in Jinan in the Qing Dynasty! You'd better kill me right away! If Lao Tzu's fourteenth and fifteenth uncles lead a large army to come, capture you alive, and fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will tell you to survive and not die! ”
This insult insults other people's wives and daughters, and is rude. and when it comes to the royal face, the three of them can't help but have angry faces.
"Princess, this official will hand over this thief chief to you to dispose of. I heard that there are dozens of criminal laws in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the group of unsuccessful people under my command have always wanted to see it, and my father-in-law can train this guy at will. As long as you don't kill or cripple! ”
Hearing Shouhan's opening, Wang Dehua couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Don't worry, my lord!" Although it is not a good hand to follow our family south this time, and this Changqing does not have such a complete set of torture tools, but our family can still regulate this thief chief who wants to die! And it's all skin trauma. It won't hurt your muscles and bones! ”
Ordered Du Du to be taken to the prison and kept under strict guard. Wang Dehua rushed to choose a good hand and prepared to torture Du Du.
"My lord, we are now in battle to kill Yue Tuo and capture Du Du alive, and the results of the battle have been extremely grand since the Wanli Dynasty pacified Yang Yinglong. I wonder what the adults are going to do next? ”
Wang Chengen cautiously asked Shouhan about his next course of action.
Defeated Manchuria is the Red Banner Nu Chieftain Yueto. The eldest grandson of Nurhachi was captured. False inlay red flag Manchurian flag lord Anping Beledudu. It's a miracle. As a loyal servant, he felt obliged to reward Chong Zai for finding out the details of the Shouhan.
"Father-in-law, the battle is not over yet. The results of the battle have not yet been counted, is it too early to say this at this time? ”
Shouhan played a beautiful Tai Chi boxing and gently prevaricated Wang Chengen's questioning.
Wang Chengen has been in the court for a long time and has seen too many storms, but what he has experienced in recent days has exceeded what he has experienced in the previous decades. Such a great victory, the two Manchurian banner owners of Dongnu who entered the prison were captured to the death, and the Mongolian Eight Banners that entered the customs with them were almost wiped out.
"What this official means, the results of the Battle of Changqing have not been counted clearly, and the casualties of our army have not been counted, how can you say what should be done after that?"
This was said in a high-sounding and upright manner, and Wang Chengen didn't want to ask again, so he had to follow Shouhan back to the lobby stupidly.
Above the lobby, Li Peiting, Wang Bao and others were crackling and calculating, feverishly counting all kinds of numbers killed and captured.
However, to Shouhan's delight, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses came from the direction of Laizhou, and at the same time hundreds of truckloads of heavy grain and grass were transported, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of insufficient troops in his hands.
In addition to bringing seven or eight characters such as the local leaders and incense masters of the Cao Gang to see the Shouhan, these soldiers and horses who escorted the baggage came to see the Han guard, but also brought more than 1,000 military merit heads.
Along the Daqing River, because of the close relationship with the Nanzhong Army for many years, the Cao Gang braved the danger of a shortage of soldiers and horses, gathered thousands of gangs in their hands, and walked along the river to break the ice, towing big boats all the way, or helping hired vehicles to provide mule and horse transportation.
"It's a pity that we arrived a day late, and if we arrived in time, we could have caught up with the Tartars!" When the battalion officer heard that the battle had just ended, he couldn't help beating his chest, regretting that he had lost a great opportunity to make meritorious service.
After collecting all kinds of supplies such as grain, grass, ammunition and other supplies they escorted, Wang Bao patted him on the shoulder, "You have traveled day and night, braved the wind and snow to transport the baggage, this credit is not smaller than breaking the enemy on the battlefield, killing the generals and capturing the flag, or even greater." What's more, you also gained more than 1,000 heads along the way, didn't you also harvest more than 1,000 heads? ”
"Your Excellency!" The battalion officer jumped up and confessed, "Those are all small bandits who came to harass along the way, intending to rob our army of food and grass supplies. ”
"These are the bandits of the Smelling Fragrance Sect."
A incense master of the Cao Gang relieved the siege for the battalion officers from the side.
Since the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Xu Hongru organized a rebellion in Shandong, claiming to be the "Mahayana Xingsheng" of Zhongxing Fulie Emperor Jianyuan, and was quickly suppressed, the descendants of Wang Sen, the founder of the Wenxiang Sect, reinstated the Wenxiang Sect and renamed it the Mahayana Qingchamen, in order to escape the blow of the Ming Dynasty regime controlled by Wei Zhongxian, who had a bad reputation and low historical evaluation. However, the common people and the people in the rivers and lakes are still accustomed to calling them the Smelling Fragrance Sect.
"That's right! It's these bandits! How dare you beat our idea! It's ridiculous that before the war, you have to chant the Buddha's name and runic water, and rush over in a mess. As soon as the brothers hit the firecracker, they fell down, and then the brothers of the Cao Gang rushed up with us, and there were these military merit heads! ”
After a few words of encouragement, the battalion officer led his men to the barracks to settle down happily and replace the brothers who had been fighting outside for a day. Give them time to recuperate.
Killings and captures and own casualties are still being counted.
"In this battle, our army beheaded a total of 4,755 heads of Dongnu and Tatar slaves. 1,750 Dongnu and Tatar slave thieves were captured, more than 450 heavy armor dead soldiers were captured, more than 750 Qiding were killed, and the rest were Yu Ding and Baoyi Aha in the banner, and miscellaneous servants with the army. More than 3,000 pairs of armor, more than 2,000 war horses, more than 3,000 mules and horses, and the weight of ordnance vehicles was not counted. ”
According to the prisoners' confessions, they were the Guanning army in Shanhai Town, Ningyuan Town, Jizhen Town, Yutian Town and other places, and were captured in the Battle of Jize. Acts as a pseudo-clear coating. Ask us to give them the treatment of Ming officers and soldiers. and distributed military salaries, food, and diets. Or send them to the Texas Reinforcement General Soldier Zukuan. ”
I've seen shameless, I've never seen such brazenness to the extreme!
Shouhan was so angry by Guan Ningjun's remarks that he laughed instead of anger.
In any case, the gains in this battle were huge, and the more than 2,000 taels of Red Banner Manchuria and 5,000 Eight Banners of Mongolia that Yue Tuo and Du Du brought to Changqing were basically all buried here. Even the more than 10,000 people sent by the two white flags to cheer him on were defeated. Captive! Even Yue Tuo and Du Du himself. It is also difficult to escape the fate of being killed and captured.
This battle. For Jiannu, it was definitely the worst defeat since Nurhachi raised his army. Even if there are still two red flags in Jinan, Baoding, Shenyang and other places, but within a few years, these two Manchurian flags will also be greatly damaged!
But. Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself. The casualties of the South China Army were also huge.
In order to obtain the head of more than 1,000 real slaves, kill thousands of Mongolian Eight Banners, and capture more than 1,000 real slaves and Tatar slaves, the Southern Chinese Army killed more than 600 people, lightly injured more than 1,000 people, seriously injured more than 400 in the battles of the Changqing Dynasty in the past few days, and what is even more fatal is the non-combat attrition. The South Central Army, which is mainly composed of personnel from the Lingnan, south, central tropical, and subtropical regions, suffered a large amount of frostbite in the face of the severe cold weather in Shandong.
Nearly 10 percent or nearly 20 percent of the army suffered from frostbite to varying degrees.
"My lord, this is the battle damage reported from everywhere. Please take a look. ”
Wang Bao carefully handed the clearly transcribed casualties of each brigade and regiment to Shouhan, who was bowing his head and pondering.
"General, what do you think we should do with these captives?" Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen gradually woke up from the ecstasy after winning the war, and consciously put themselves in the position of subordinates, asking Shouhan for strategies.
Thousands of prisoners, including the real slaves, Tatar slaves, and rebellious Han people, the number of these captives even exceeds the number of combatable soldiers in the Nanzhong Army at the moment, if there is a change, then it is a situation of victory and defeat.
"Attached to the rebellious officials and army, the state used the people's fat and the people to anoint them, did not think of killing thieves to protect the people, reported to Jun's grace, and went down to Anlishu, but he was willing to rebel and build slaves. slaughtered soldiers and civilians everywhere, broke through Chengchizhou County, and plundered official and private property. If this generation is left in the world, how can it show my great law? How can we comfort the souls of innocent soldiers and civilians who have been killed in heaven? ”
Shouhan said his intentions with a cold face.
"Those who are attached to the rebel and build slaves and act for the tiger are no longer my Ming officials. This generation shall not remain in the world. Slaughter them all! ”
"Slaughter them all?!"
These words made Wu Guji, who had been standing behind Wang Chengen, tremble, that was a member of the Guan Ning Army more than 3,000 years ago, what is the Guan Ning Army? That is the group that has been in contact with each other for many years and is each other's in-laws, that is, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, who dared to kill Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, but did not dare to move Guan Ningjun. That's the reason, rat bogey.
But this master is about to behead all the more than 3,000 Guan Ning troops with one mouth!
However, the two princes saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
General Li's move, of course, played a role in killing a hundred people, but he also set himself against the entire Liaoxi military town.
On the twenty-third day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, outside the west gate of Changqing, at noon.
At the foot of the mass grave post, the magistrate organized people to dig several huge soil pits overnight, ready to be used to bury the dead bodies. More than 4,000 captured Qing soldiers with their thumbs tied were escorted here by the Nanzhong Army and armed Minzhuang, each armed with swords and guns.
Among the captured Qing soldiers, in addition to the 200 Manchurian bannermen with a slightly slightly positive appearance and relatively good health, 300 of the remaining more than 450 heavy armored soldiers were selected to make other arrangements. The rest, whether they were Bao Yi Ahha, miscellaneous servants, Yu Ding, Qi Ding, Armored People, Baya Soldiers, Qiang, Dividing Pashku, Niu Lu Zhangjing, etc., were all tied together. The 500 people who were selected were tied to the side with the same ropes and knelt down to watch the ceremony.
"We are the official army of the imperial court! You can't do this to me! ”
"Lao Tzu is a third-grade general of the imperial court! You killed the court officials without authorization, and Lao Tzu will sue you! ”
The former Guan Ningjun who had been stripped of their armor and the two white flags wrapped in Niu Lu writhed their bodies in horror, struggled hard, and kept screaming and scolding, trying to escape the fate of death.
"No nonsense! Fire! ”
Wang Bao, who was in charge of the beheading, said coldly. Several rows of firearms were fired towards the ranks of the captives, suddenly. The fiercest and most vicious groups of captives who struggled and screamed fell silent.
Not far from them. Gathered a large area of black pressure to watch the beheading of these Tartars of the Changqing people, the Tartars raged all over Shandong, so that the people were not at peace, and I don't know how many people were killed and killed. There was an angry shouting and scolding. Countless pieces of dirt and rocks were thrown. smashed the heads of those Qing soldiers and their heads were bleeding and trembling. There is no arrogance and domineering in the past, and the fierce gods are vicious.
"The hour has come! Execute! ”
Originally, the executioners were drawn from the three brigades and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Battalion, but Changqing's father pleaded several times. It is said that these Jiannu slaughtered Shandong, and if it weren't for the adults to fight the enemy here, I am afraid that it will be the same fate as the people of Jinan Prefecture, and I beg my lordship to allow my children in Changqing County to participate in the execution!
As a result, the methods and methods of execution were full of variety, which fully reflected the wisdom and skill level of the Chinese people.
On the side of the Guards Brigade of the South Central Army, it is completely a slaughter method of factory-based production. A squad of musketeers, with four teams behind them, either reloading ammunition or preparing to replace overly tired executioners. Immediately after a platoon of guns had been fired, the firing officers handed back the empty guns with their left hand, and with their right hands they took the loaded muskets, and some of the fifty prisoners of war who had been tied up in a string were brought over and fired another round of firearms. After that, someone carried Jiannu's short-handled axe and cut off the heads one by one and threw them into the lime for disposal.
The officers and men of the 3rd Brigade and the Garrison Brigade have taken a different approach. The bayonet is red.
"In this battle, the brothers all attacked with bayonets after three rounds of shooting, but some brothers were a little timid and softer! When it comes to life and death, you are a little short of yin and yang! If you don't want to die by yourself, give Lao Tzu a good way to practice! ”
Wu Biao, who was born in a reckless manner, was full of foul language even when he was mobilizing, pointing to the hundreds of prisoners who were escorted in front of the queue.
"I've already told them that if anyone survives our three bayonet assaults, God won't let him die! Lao Tzu pleaded with the lord and spared him the death penalty! ”
The soldiers of the garrison brigade shouted, and with their bayonet guns, they ran viciously towards the opposite side, smashing hundreds of prisoners in confusion and rushing over. In an instant, blood splattered.
The people of Changqing have fully exerted their imagination, and several leading figures have listed various civil criminal laws one by one, but the most difficult thing is that they are arguing, and in desperation, everyone has adopted a compromise method.
The servants and armed men pulled the captives out of the crowd one by one, cut off his hands and feet in front of the captives, and threw them at the people, who were already eyeing him, and the people threw the bricks, stones, and sticks in their hands at the bitter and wailing fellow until he was so confused that he could no longer make a sound.
Seeing this cruel and violent scene, several prisoners who usually took pleasure in killing people were so frightened that they became incontinent and smelled all over their bodies. There was also a strong desire for death, a tiger pounced, rushed to the people with a knife and gun in his hand, and hit his body straight on the tip of the gun.
Several leaders of the people who were in charge of the execution seemed to have become red in the eyes of everyone, and they kept waving the machetes that had gaps in their hands to greet the surroundings.
"Our family has always thought that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the most ruthless and the most vicious. Looking at it today, if this people's heart is full of anger, how much more vicious than Jinyi Weidong Factory is a hundred times more spicy? ! ”
Wang Chengen, who watched the execution, wiped the fine sweat that came out of his forehead, and secretly thought to himself. (To be continued......)
