420 Kill!
This must be necessary, how could Emperor Chongzhen believe that Azig would really go and kill Huang Taiji!
Believe it or not, after Azig fled back to Liaodong, he immediately changed his tune, saying how he had gone through hardships and escaped from the tiger's mouth of the Ming Kingdom, and as for the death of Zilharang, it was definitely not his doing. If there are any rumors on Mingguo's side, it must be slandering him!
These things, Emperor Chongzhen can think of with his toes. He still let Azig go, just rewarded him with a Grade A eavesdropping seed, and asked him to return to Liaodong to be a "gold medal undercover agent" of the Ming Dynasty.
Relatively speaking, the last time I let Dolgon go back as an undercover agent, I didn't send back much very useful information, because Dolgon was locked up in the Zongren Mansion by Huang Taiji, and he thought about it all day long.
And this Azig is also a high-level Jianyu, although he lost this battle, he is not the boss, so after escaping back, he has a greater chance of making meritorious contributions, so that he can access the high-level secrets of Jianyu.
In addition, there is another meaning to let Azig go back, that is, let him first watch the captives of various ethnic groups in Liaodong kill the Jianzhou Jurchen captives, even if he knows that this is due to pressure, but watching such a thing happen, with Azig's temper and character, he will definitely mind very much. Put him back in Liaodong, maybe he can be a-stirring stick.
As for Zilharang, firstly, this person is a famous general in Jianyu, and secondly, his background determines that he cannot compete for power and profit in Jianyu. It can be said that he is a loyal subordinate of Huang Taiji. This is different from Dorgon.
There was another reason why Emperor Chongzhen decided not to let him go back but to kill him. It was Zilharang who led the army to burn, kill and loot in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and harmed so many Ming people, if he was caught in Guihua City and let him go back, it would not be easy to give the people an explanation.
For all these reasons, Zilharan was destined to die.
Of course, the culprit of the disaster in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty is the Fa-rectification, but many of his subordinates who participated in the evil are still gasping for breath.
Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen had an indifferent face, glanced at the non-Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars outside the city, and then suddenly ordered Jinyi Wei to command Tongzhi Wu Zhongdao: "Wu Qing immediately take people to the North Gate camp, build a tomb for me who died in battle, erect a stone tablet, and I will personally inscribe it." In addition, I will dig a big pit for those Tartars outside the city, bury the bones of those Ming people, and also erect a stone tablet, and I will also have an inscription. ”
Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately came back to his senses and immediately took the order.
Emperor Chongzhen faced the scorching cold wind, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "After the Hetao really belongs to the Ming Dynasty, I will build a memorial hall here, and the list of all the Ming soldiers who died in the war must be kept here, and their heroic deeds will also be recorded in the museum." ”
At this time, although the city of Guihua had been conquered, Emperor Chongzhen did not plan to occupy it, and when the army became stronger in the future, he would come back sooner or later. Today's troops must concentrate on dealing with Liaodong Jianyu.
The surrounding Ming army generals, especially Hu Dawei and He Renlong, couldn't help but be very excited when they heard that Emperor Chongzhen attached so much importance to their men who died in battle. The two stepped forward together, knelt down on one knee to Emperor Chongzhen, and said loudly: "The last general will thank heaven!" ”
"The emperor's grace is mighty, and the last general swears allegiance to the death!" The other generals followed, kneeling on one knee to express their excitement.
Leaving a name in the world, this is probably something that Chinese people engrave in their bones. If I could, I would be more than happy to do so. Wu Sangui inscribed "blood debt and blood repayment", and after thinking for a while, he added his name, which is not the embodiment of this complex.
However, most people must be unknown. However, now the emperor personally wrote an inscription, personally memorialized, and promised to build a memorial hall, which can be heard from the name, and the Ming soldiers who died in this battle, their names will be passed down to future generations.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that they were so excited, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, and immediately said to them seriously: "I have already had an idea, to build another martyr's shrine on the edge of the Jingshi Taimiao, all the Ming people who defend the family and defend the country and die for the Ming Dynasty are qualified to enter the Martyrs' Shrine, enjoy my Ming incense, and coexist with the country!" After returning to Beijing this time, I will explain this time. ”
Hearing this, these generals, even the surrounding Ming army soldiers, the Jinyi guard captain and the attendants who accompanied them, couldn't help but be surprised.
Although they felt that the emperor had paid enough attention to the big-headed soldiers, they didn't expect that they would attach so much importance to it!
There is no doubt that those who defend the country and die for the Ming Dynasty definitely include all the Ming soldiers who died in battle, which means that these people who are here will be able to enter the martyr's shrine if they die on the battlefield, enjoy the Ming incense forever, and coexist with the country!
People in this era still have a very strong complex: after death, they can enter the ancestral hall, isn't it just to enjoy the incense, not to be forgotten, and not to become a lonely ghost!
Now, this martyr's shrine is definitely much more glorious than any ancestral hall! If you die, you can enter the Martyrs' Shrine, of course, it is the best!
At the head of the city, they were excited, and below the city, those Tartars were a little panicked, and they were driven away by the soldiers of the Ming army, not knowing what they were going to do?
Especially when the order came down and asked them to dig a big pit, they panicked even more.
But fortunately, some of the Tartars were asked to carry the bones of the Ming people, and they knew that digging a pit meant that.
Thinking that his life is still in the hands of the Ming army, thinking that if he performs better, he will have more chances to live, and maybe he can go further and become a member of the Ming army, and he will no longer be a prisoner!
Thinking so, these Tartars did not care about their hunger or exhaustion, and immediately began to work hard.
In this winter, it is definitely not easy to dig a big hole. However, Emperor Chongzhen waited for an hour or so, and Wu Zhong came back to reply to the decree.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard that everything he had ordered had been done, he ordered the whole army to assemble.
Immediately, outside the north gate of the Naturalization City, a sea of red seemed to appear. It's like the whole grassland, all the soldiers of the Ming army wearing red mandarin duck robes.
They stood in a circle, looking solemnly at a huge tomb in the center of the circle, and opposite him, there was a much smaller tombstone, and in front of both graves, there was a huge tombstone, but it was still blank.
The sky was overcast, it looked like it was about to snow, and the raging north wind was whining, blowing the Ming army flag and making a "whoosh" sound. Other than that, there was no other sound.
Emperor Chongzhen stood in front of these two tombs, and after looking at them for a while, he took a red pen from the hand of the inner servant Lan Tianbao, strode forward, and first stood at the tombstone in front of the tomb where the bones of the Ming people were buried, and inscribed a line of blood-colored font: "Blood debt and blood repayment, this is my promise!" ”
Then, he turned around and walked to another tombstone, and inscribed a line of words with "brushing": "The martyrs of the Ming Dynasty are resting with the country!" ”
After finishing writing, he casually threw the red pen to Lan Tianbao, and then turned to look at the Ming soldiers in front of him, and shouted: "Come on, blood sacrifice to the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty who died in vain!" ”
"The last will obey!" When He Renlong and Hu Dawei, who had already received orders in advance, heard this, they both came out of the ranks, responded loudly, and turned around and walked away.
After a while, the soldiers of the Ming army in the hussar battalion escorted those Tartars to the grave, and they lined up one after another, and the voices of shouting and reprimanding continued to sound: "Kneel, kneel down ......"
At this time, although these Tartars felt a little bit wrong, but when they were before, they had exhausted their physical strength, and they had no strength to resist at all, so they could only be at the mercy of the Ming soldiers.
A few thousand Tartars, and there really aren't many in the sea of red. However, in front of the tomb, it occupies a very large area.
Hu Dawei and He Renlong were on their side, seeing that their subordinates had already taken the Tartars to him. They turned around together and looked at Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen's face was solemn, and he just waved his hand. Hu Dawei and He Renlong turned around together and ordered loudly.
"Blood sacrifice to the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, kill!"
"Blood sacrifice to the people of the Ming Dynasty, kill!"
As the word "kill" came out of the two of them, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time did not hesitate to swing their knives and cut them down.
These Tartars also thought that they had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and if they listened to the words of the Ming Dynasty and killed the original master, they would have a chance to live.
If it's just a normal battle between the two sides, then maybe there really is such a possibility.
However, this time, it was they who ravaged the northwest of the Ming Dynasty and brought great disasters to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many innocent people died in vain. Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition was to avenge the people of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, so how could he spare these executioners!
Besides, there is not much food in the Ming Dynasty, so why waste food! Slaughtered directly, avenged the people of the Ming Dynasty, and proved that blood debt and blood repayment are by no means empty words! As long as the enemies of the Ming Dynasty dare to take action against the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will also take revenge with blood!
The king was angry and bled for a thousand miles.
Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that thousands of Tartar heads were separated from his body, and the blood that spurted out stained the grassland in front of the tomb red.
After paying tribute to the Ming army killed in battle and the people killed in vain, Emperor Chongzhen did not stay in Guihua City anymore and immediately issued an order to return to Guannai.
The scene of the blood sacrifice was never touched again. In front of the two tombs, there were the corpses of Tartars with different heads, and they were lined up in many rows, and they fell to the ground like that.
When the Ming army set off, sparse snowflakes began to fall.
As the year approached, snow finally began to fall on the grasslands.
It was also for this reason that Emperor Chongzhen did not stay long and immediately returned to Guannei. Otherwise, if the snow is heavy and the snow is too deep, I am afraid that you will not be able to go back to Kannai.
In the battle of Naturalization City, in addition to the Azig who was released, of course, there were also a few Tartars who escaped, such as Yingordai, who ran away directly when he saw that the situation was not good, and he really ran away. At this point, Emperor Chongzhen saw that the eavesdropping seed on his body was still working, and he knew that this person had a big life, and he still wanted to continue to be the "gold medal undercover" of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, those who were not defeated head-on by the Ming army were the elite cavalry of the Urad Department and the Chahar Division. At this time, they simply hurried back to their tribal camp without stopping, one east and one west, like two torrents, slowly began to diverge, or one hundred and two hundred, or twelve thousand, separated from the large army, and rushed to the camp of their respective small tribes.
In this one, where a large tribal camp of the Chahar tribe was located in the east, a group of about 2,000 Chahar cavalry finally rushed back. Then, they couldn't believe their eyes.
The camp, which was once huge, was almost reduced to ashes. I don't know where to put together the yurt, just alone in the ashes.
Originally, there were still a lot of people in the camp, and there were hardly any people in sight.
When the leader of the Chahar Department saw it, of course, he broke into those yurts.
However, just outside the yurt, he suddenly saw piles of bones, and then smelled the smell of meat coming from the yurt. Suddenly, the whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was motionless.
The people in the yurt also heard the movement, and many people rushed out to see the movement, and after seeing the situation clearly, they all fell to the ground in fright, not daring to move.
In fact, if there is a plague of livestock on the grassland, if the tribe is hungry, it will also be easy to eat. This kind of tragedy was recorded in the late Ming Dynasty.
However, this kind of thing happens to other tribes, and it's nothing, the key is that it happens to himself, and the leader of the Chahar tribe can't stand it a little. If he can bring 2,000 elites out, it is enough to show that his tribe is a big tribe.
When he came to his senses, he went crazy and tried to cut people. However, those who were lying on the ground were not willing to be cut down, and they all cried out.
"You took all the food from the clan to Qingguo, what else can we eat?"
"You took out all the soldiers in the clan to help the Qing Kingdom, and the Ming army came over, and it was only two or three thousand people, where were you at that time?"
"It was you who offended the Ming Kingdom, but we all suffered. Look at the tribes, it's all gone, it's you, it's your sins......"
“……”
In the face of these accusations, how can they be refuted?
If it weren't for helping Qing Guo again and again, in the end, not only did it not exchange for Qing Guo's promise, but it brought the disaster of exterminating the clan to the clan!
Thinking of all this, the leader of the Chahar Department looked at the wooden sign of "Blood Debt and Blood Repayment" standing there by Wu Sangui, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, as if he wanted to pour out all the endless regrets in his heart to the immortal heaven.
No matter how crazy he is, he has to face a reality in the end: the people in the clan are basically gone. And the little grain and grass that the army brought with it will also be eaten. Seeing that it is about to snow, what should I do next?
This happened in almost every camp of the Urat and Chahar tribes, and almost all the clan leaders faced such a problem.
