[134] Eat dry and wipe clean, and leave
Song Youliang rode a horse and slowly came out of the Great Political Palace, and there were all the mutilated corpses of Jiannu and the Ming army who were lying on the Jiannu woman and working hard. Song Youliang came out on horseback, bypassed a corner, and didn't walk out long before he arrived at the concentration area of the mansions of the prince and the bellors.
Here, in addition to killing men and women, the soldiers of the Ming army also gave full play to their imagination and experimented with various methods of torture and killing on Jiannu's body one by one. Some broke open the lower abdomen of the Jiannu woman, dug it out of the palace, and then put it on the head of the Jiannu woman. The intestines of the slave men were dug out, and then nailed to the door frame like a beaded curtain. There are those who cut off Jiannu's hands and feet, pierce their eyes, cut off their tongues, and make Jiannu wriggle on the ground like maggots. There is also a big guillotine knife to stop Jiannu from the waist and cut it, and then let them compete to see who can climb farther. In short, the imagination of the masses is abundant and boundless
Wu Tingbin, Zhang Guang, and Zhang Yuliu were ordered to immediately control Jiannu's arsenal, grain depot and money depot as soon as they entered the city, and after the three of them counted them, they reported the numbers to Song Youliang.
"The arsenal has 30,000 knives, 30,000 guns, 10,000 bows, 6,000 armor, arrows, and gunpowder, and it is impossible to count them."
"The grain depot has 200,000 stone of grain and 60,000 catties of dried meat. There are also some miscellaneous grains that are being counted. ”
"There are 200,000 taels of gold, 7,000,000 taels of silver, and 6,000 pearls the size of an egg. The rest of the mink and ginseng are still being counted. ”
After listening to this, Song Youliang scolded: "Dead Jiannu, I don't know how much blood and tears of the Han people have been stained with these belongings." After that, he said to the three generals: "Pass the order, sink half of the weapons in the arsenal into the Hunhe River, and distribute the rest to the Han people in the city." The rest were destroyed, and along with the arsenal, they were blown up with gunpowder in the arsenal. ”
"Order~" Wu Tingbin took the order and left
"We only take ten days' rations of grain in the grain depot, and before we leave tomorrow, the Han people in the city can take it themselves, and the rest will be burned."
"Order~" Zhang Guang also took the order and left
"The gold and silver are too heavy to carry, so we will take the pearls and precious stones, and only 50,000 taels of gold and silver each. The rest also sank into the nearby river, and if any of the soldiers had hidden them, they were to be put to death. ”
"Order~" Zhang Yuliu also hurried down to arrange
At ten o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, with a loud sound of shaking the mountains, tens of thousands of catties of explosives in the Jiannu arsenal exploded together, and the huge shock wave and air wave completely destroyed the remaining buildings in Shengjing City. The power of this explosion is that Song Youliang still feels it after he has walked out of the four miles. Along with the destruction, there is also the Tanglin of the wild boar skin of the old Jiannu. Song Youliang specially ordered someone to use the gunpowder seized from the Jiannu arsenal to blow up the coffin of the wild boar skin, and then crush the bones of the old Jiannu wild boar skin and scatter ashes, and then pour feces and urine into the coffin.
After everything was done, Song Youliang led the army south in the direction of Korea
Starting from Nurhachi, to his successor Huang Taiji, in order to make their Jiannu Eight Banners cavalry move quickly, nothing else was done, that is, the maintenance of the official roads in Liaodong was done well, especially for the main official roads in Liaodong, and they were widened, strengthened and leveled, so that the invincible Jiannu cavalry in the field could gallop freely in Liaodong, but it was also cheap Song Youliang could flash people as soon as possible after killing people and setting fires. On 29 May, he evacuated Shengjing at noon, and before evening, he passed Weiningbao on the Taizi River. This fort had already been conquered by the vanguard of Cheng Lianhu, and at this time it was controlled by the liberated Han Chinese
When entering Shengjing, Song Youliang's team was only 10,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 were left on the way to retreat. Now when I left Shengjing, the team had become nearly 40,000 people. Because the original Han people in Shengjing and the Han people along the way also volunteered to join Song Youliang's team, most of them were young and middle-aged, and they all received weapons from Shengjing's arsenal. Song Youliang organized them into three battalions. He was specially responsible for guarding the few captives who were not killed, including Fan Wencheng, Xifu, Ganglin, Ning Wanme, Ma Guozhu, Zhang Cunren, Huang Taiji's concubines (except Concubine Zhuang), and Huang Taiji's sons (except Haoge and Fulin), as well as the Jiannu nobles who stayed in Shengjing and did not escape, numbering about one hundred and fifty. Although these three battalions were all recruits, they clearly knew that if they were captured by Jiannu again, they would die and have no place to bury, so they all had the determination to fight to the death, and they were also very careful in guarding these prisoners.
In order to prevent Jiannu from chasing and killing, Song Youliang left many traps along the way of retreat, such as planting ambushes and thunderstorms on the road, or killing a prisoner of Jiannu on the way, and then making the corpse into barbecue. The fragrant smell of meat lured out the black bears that had not long finished hibernation, the hungry wolves and other fierce beasts, and made a free escort for Song Youliang to return to the palace.
At this time, Song Youliang was munching on jerky while listening to Ximen Jian's gesture on the map.
Ximen Jian, who has not shown up for a long time, has been undercover in North Korea for a long time, and his mission is to help the Korean rebels train soldiers and horses and transmit information. He took out a detailed topographical map of Liaodong, pointed to Weining Fort, and said, "Junmen, we are here now." Ximenjian's finger slid to the east, "To the east, you can reach Hetuala, the old capital of Jiannu, and to the south is the direction of our retreat, Korea." ”
"Oops!" Song Youliang was halfway through his jerky, and suddenly screamed, startling Ximenjian, Li Xin, Zhang Yuliu and others
"Military Gate? What's wrong? Li Xin hurriedly asked
"When we were in Shengjing, we only cared about burning, killing and looting, and relieving hatred was relieving hatred, but the Jiannu in Shengjing City were almost killed, if no one went to report to Huang Taiji, how could we shake the military heart of Jiannu?" Song Youliang patted his forehead, looking distressed
Zhang Yuliu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't we also capture a lot of nobles who built slaves?" Why don't you just pick one or two of them and deliberately let them go to ventilate and report the news? ”
"The military can rest assured of this." Li Xin said with a smile: "Did the military gate ever remember the old eunuch who killed Jiannu and the little eunuch Xiao Chunzi who identified the chief of Jiannu?" ”
"Remember~" Song Youliang asked, "Are you saying that this person is allowed to ventilate and report the news?" ”
Li Xin said: "Fei Ye~ Along the way, in order to learn more about Jiannu, my subordinates had a long talk with him all the way. He said that the day before we entered Shenyang, Concubine Chen was seriously ill, and the palace had sent someone to the front line in Jinzhou to inform Huang Taiji and ask him to come back to see Concubine Chen for the last time. ”
"yes, how did I forget that?" Song Youliang then remembered that in history, Concubine Chen was seriously ill, and Huang Taiji left the army on the front line in Jinzhou, and traveled day and night, and a few horses ran to death, and returned to Shengjing overnight, but he still didn't catch up with the last meeting of Hai Lanzhu. Perhaps, at this moment, Huang Taiji is dispatching troops, preparing to catch up with himself to take revenge.
In fact, Huang Taiji did return to Shenyang the day after the Ming army withdrew, and the scene in front of him made him almost collapse. The city of Shengjing, which he had painstakingly managed, left only ruins and corpses all over the ground. When Huang Taiji approached the gate of the city, he was startled by countless crows pecking at the corpses, and the number of crows was as large as dark clouds in the sky.
Near the city gates, thousands of squirming and crawling on the ground with their eyes pierced, their tongues cut out, their hands and feet cut off, and they struggled like maggots in the mud soaked in blood and human bodies. They could not speak, only let out cries of pain. Inside the city gate, the corpses of Jiannu's family members were even more congested in the streets and alleys, and Huang Taiji could not enter at all on horseback. Most of the male corpses were disemboweled, or cut off the work, and the female corpses were all naked, with teeth bite marks on both breasts, and the lower bodies were filthy, apparently suffered before death.
Walking further in the direction of the inner city, it is even more miserable. If the corpses in the outer city are at least whole corpses, then none of the corpses in the inner city are intact. On the steps of the main hall lie crookedly more than a dozen large guillotines, and on the side of the guillotines are the corpses that have been cut into pieces, and these corpses are covered in every corner of the ruins of the main hall. Every time Huang Taiji takes a step, he may step on a palm or a calf
Huang Taiji didn't cry or roar, and suddenly, he stopped and stood on two naked female corpses. Immediately, his fat body was for a while, and then the whole person began to tremble. Facing the sky on his back is Hai Lanzhu's corpse~~~ Next to Hai Lanzhu is the female corpse that was facing up, and there are a few big characters written on the back of the corpse - Song Youliang, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, visited here, and there was an arrow drawn under a few powerful Chinese characters, pointing directly at the organ that Song Youliang had visited. Huang Taiji carefully turned the corpse over, as if he was afraid of waking up half of the sleeping man, it was Bumu Butai's corpse
"Song Manzi~~" Huang Taiji couldn't hold on any longer, he looked up to the sky and roared, and a stream of hot blood gushed out from his nose, "Ah~" He opened his arms and leaned back weakly, as if he was about to fall
"Your Majesty~" A few close-fitting barrays hurriedly supported Huang Taiji, "Imperial Doctor~ Find Imperial Doctor." ”
"Get out of the way~" Seeing that the crumbling Huang Taiji suddenly stabilized his body, he touched a section of the beam that was still smoking with his hand, and then covered his nose that was still dripping blood with his hand, and said with resentment: "The carbon ash is not cold, the Ming army has a long-distance sneak attack, there will not be many people, the three warehouses are destroyed, they have looted a lot of treasures, and they can't go fast." Dokodo, you immediately go and mobilize all the men around who can ride horses, the Ming army must not have gone far, you must find them. ”
"Chirp~" Duo Keduo's family also lives in Shengjing City, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it is more than auspicious, and Duo Keduo didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately rushed away
"Cha Kemu~ You tell everyone that Sheng Jing sees everything, and he is not allowed to say a word, and after returning to Jinzhou, he will say that everything is fine in Sheng Jing."
"Chirp~" Chakmu is a Mongolian, and his family is far away in the steppe, so his mood is a little calmer, at this moment he admires Huang Taiji's concentration very much, and when he encounters such a big change, he can still plan back and forth calmly.
"It's just~ Your Majesty, Sheng Kyoto is like this, do we still want to go to Jinzhou to fight?" Chuck Mu asked
"Of course we are withdrawing, but if we retreat like this, Hong Chengchou, that old thief, is likely to chase after our tail and bite us. So~~" Huang Taiji took out a dagger from his boots and cut off a strand of hair from Hai Lanzhu's head and put it in his arms
