The troops of the Jingbian Fort Army marched west along the post road and went straight to the Jingshi, and along the way Liu Renyu ordered not to enter the towns along the way, but to eat their own dry food.

When they returned to their division, the cavalrymen at the front of the line carried urns containing the ashes of the fallen soldiers.

"General, when our Jingbianbao army went out to fight, there were a full 3,000 soldiers, and now there are 1,700 people left, and 1,300 people have died." Li Jiye sighed and said to Liu Renyu, the general beside him.

When the rest of the generals heard this, their faces turned pale.

Among the various departments under Liu Renyu's command, only Li Jiye's casualties were relatively small, and the rest of the troops suffered relatively large casualties.

"Gentlemen, the man and the Han join the army, and there will be a day when the horse leather shroud will be there, which is normal. The heroes have sacrificed their lives for the country, what we have to do is to take care of their afterlife, and we can't chill the living, can you understand? Liu Renyu said solemnly.

"The lowly rank is written down." Li Jiye and the other military attachés of Jingbian Fort said in unison.

"Well, let's go, Jingshi is still far away."

****

The Jingbian Fort Army went all the way to the west, and did not pass through the villages and towns and fortresses, but specially picked a small road to walk, but when they arrived at Shanhaiguan, they could not bypass it anyway, and could only march through the Guancheng, he first sent someone to talk to the general army of Shanhaiguan, saying that he was going to take his men from Shanhaiguan to pass, hoping that the other party could let him go.

Of course, the garrison commander in Shanhaiguan will let him go, but he has long heard that the front line has won a big victory, and he knows it, and the entire army and people in Shanhaiguan will also know about it, and of course they will welcome the triumphant return of Wang Shi.

On the day when Liu Renyu led his troops into Shanhaiguan, the general army of Shanhaiguan specially led troops to greet him, which was very grand, and he originally wanted to leave Liu Renyu and other military attachés of the Jingbianbao Army to eat, but Liu Renyu politely refused.

So the general army of Shanhaiguan accompanied Liu Renyu and other Jingbian Fort troops through Shanhaiguan.

After the soldiers and civilians in Guancheng got the news that the Jingbianbao army was going to pass through Shanhaiguan, they all gathered on both sides of the street early, holding rotten vegetable leaves, stones, mud and other items in their hands, planning to wait for the Jiannu captives to pass by, so that they could greet them.

After all, the people of Liaodong have been miserable by Houjin in recent years, and many of the people in this Guancheng have escaped from Shenyang, Tieling, Fushun, and Guangning, and have a deep blood feud with Houjin.

Originally, among these surrendered Houjin soldiers, there were very few real Jurchens, and more than half of them were Han Chinese who were taken away by the Houjin.

These Han people told Liu Renyu many times that they were very innocent and were forced to do bad things, and hoped that Liu Renyu could give them a chance to be new people and work for the Ming Dynasty again.

For such a request, Liu Renyu refused without thinking about it.

Because these Han people who were pawns of Aha must have been accomplices of Houjin in previous wars, and they also profited from Houjin.

Since you have received benefits, you naturally have to take risks.

Liu Renyu thought about Jiannu Kou committing Jingshi, the emperor was very faceless, and the emperor wanted face very much, and now he happened to have more than 1,000 captured Jiannu in his hands, and he could send them to Jingshi to tour the streets, so that the people of Jingshi could beat these captured Jiannu out of anger. The people are happy, and the emperor's face is gone.

As for whether the emperor will kill these prisoners in the end, it depends on the creation of these Houjin soldiers.

When Liu Renyu's Jingbianbao army entered Shanhaiguan and passed through the city, the people in the city were stunned at first, and they were very surprised by the unique marching method of the Jingbianbao army.

I saw that several soldiers of Jingbian Fort were carrying a large urn in front of them, and there were three spiritual tablets on top of the urn.

Some literate people recognized that the words on the spiritual seat were the words of the martyr so-and-so or the spiritual seat of so-and-so.

Ordinary people were completely indifferent to the behavior of the Jingbianbao army, but those soldiers were very touched by this scene.

What kind of soldiers and horses are this, they attach so much importance to the dead soldiers, and it is not the officers who walk in front of the team, but the spiritual position.

This idea did not last long, because the Jiannu captives were soon escorted over and entered the sight of the soldiers and civilians in Shanhaiguan.

So the soldiers and civilians in Shanhaiguan were completely boiling, and the anger in their hearts against Jiannu was completely ignited.

"Beat Jiannu, beat his mother."

"Avenge my dead family."

"Folks, fight."

After a manic shout.

Rotten leaves, rotten eggs, mud, stones, saliva, these debris flew all over the Houjin captives.

Those Houjin captives who dragged a pig's tail behind their heads were all beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, so they were not miserable.

There are even some Kanto big men who feel that it is not enjoyable to smash it like this, so they go directly forward, display eighteen kinds of martial arts, and punch and kick these Jiannu.

Someone takes the lead, and naturally someone responds.

Seeing that more and more people wanted to come forward and beat these Houjin prisoners, Liu Renyu hurriedly dissuaded loudly: "Fellow villagers, you can only beat Jiannu, but you must have a serious attack, whoever beats Jiannu to death, the official wants to pay for his life, because these Jiannu will be sent to Jingshi to sacrifice prisoners." ”

When the soldiers and civilians heard this, some of them were timid and gave up, while some of them were bold and felt that it would not matter if they continued to fight, as long as they did not fight to death.

So after some twists and turns in the Shanhaiguan, when I left the customs, the faces of the thousand Houjin captives were like being stung by bees, and they were swollen in many places, and they were blue and purple everywhere, which looked extremely miserable.

Although their appearance was miserable, fortunately, none of them died, and the sacrifice of prisoners was not greatly affected.

Affected by this incident, Liu Renyu didn't dare to bring Jiannu into the villages and towns of Beizhili again.

You must know that from November of the second year of Chongzhen, to May of the third year of Chongzhen, killing and plundering everywhere in Beizhili, the hatred between the people here and Jiannu is quite great.

Therefore, when the Jingbian Fort army marched, they took remote paths, and Liu Renyu also specially ordered the Houjin captives to wear cloaks, so as not to reveal their identities with their eye-catching pig tails.

After walking for another four days, the Jingbianbao army arrived in Tongzhou County, east of the Beijing Division, and when they arrived at this place, they could not go any further, because of the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the army did not get the military order, and dared to drive directly under the city wall of the Beijing Division, no matter how many people there were in this army, it was regarded as a rebellion.

Liu Renyu walked to Tongzhou County and set up camp outside Tongzhou County.

According to the usual practice, the county order of Tongzhou County will immediately close the city gate and be ready for it, and he will never do anything like rewarding the king.

And the guards of the squad army, Kuaishou, Qingzhuang and gentry in Tongzhou County also went up to the city wall, closely monitoring every move of the Jingbian Fort army.

Liu Renyu was accustomed to this, and he didn't care at all, he immediately sent a messenger to enter the city from Chaoyangmen, and went to the military headquarters to report that his troops had arrived in Tongzhou County, near the left side of the Beijing Division, how to sacrifice prisoners, and asked the imperial court to issue an order.

The military department couldn't do anything about this matter, so it was naturally reported to the cabinet department, and the cabinet department reported it to the inner court, and finally Wang Chengen reported the news to Chongzhen.

However, he said that Chongzhen had been in a very good mood since he heard about the victory of the Daling River, so when he heard that Liu Renyu had arrived in Tongzhou, which was close to the left of the Beijing Division, he said to Wang Chengen without thinking about it: "Let Liu Aiqing bring his loyal and righteous people to the capital, and they will arrest the slaves, so let them take them on a tour of the streets, and after the street tour is over, the captives will be handed over to the soldiers and horses of the five cities to be guarded first, and they will be beheaded on a certain day." As for Liu Aiqing's people, let them all come to the palace and let me meet them. ”

"Long live the master, there are more than 1,000 people under Liu Renyu's hands, and they are all afraid that it will be inappropriate to come to the palace." Wang Chengen said.

"It's the same thing that the companion said, if they all come, the officials of the Honglu Temple and the General Administration Department are afraid that they will be busy to death. Let's just let Liu Aiqing's whole army enter the Beijing Division, and let the people see what the Wang Division that defeated Jiannu was like. Then there are not too many people who enter the palace, just let Liu Aiqing and his right-hand men come to see me. Chongzhen smiled.

"Long live the master, the report is a big deal, is it in the Imperial Palace?" Wang Chengen asked again.

"Of course, it is a great dynasty, the imperial court is victorious, such a big happy event, so that the officials above the fourth grade are all happy, when it is over, I have to go to the Taimiao to tell the ancestors, so that the ancestors are also happy. Liu Aiqing knows the rules in the palace, but his subordinates may not know, companion, you send a subordinate over and teach them the rules. Chongzhen admonished.

"Yes, long live the master, the old slave will do it." Wang Chengen received the order and went away.
