Chapter 120: The Massacre of Seoul

Azig really had an urge to get rid of all these generals one by one.

But is it possible? It's not just that the law doesn't blame the public, but many of these people are Manchurian generals, who are related to him, and they say that the so-called Manchurian surnames are just dozens of families headed by Aixin Jueluo. These are the Manchurian roots.

Now that the Manchu generals are already in a state of disarray, how can he kill all these generals, not to mention, how should he explain after these deaths, it is a question of who will fill the vacancies after these people die.

Azig said, "Since you are convicted, each of you will receive fifty lashes. ”

"Lord Wang, now that you are employing people, do you want to send the criminal law power and dispose of it after the war?" Tuhai had been by Azig's side, admonishing.

Azig's face, which had always been cruel and tyrannical, suddenly calmed down, with the appearance of a virtuous monk. said calmly: "When employing people, don't need it." The tone was full of a sense of loss.

As a general, Azig may be tyrannical, cruel, or arrogant, but he is the most realistic.

An unrealistic general is doomed to defeat on the battlefield, because the battlefield is the most realistic.

After the first battle, the first thing Azig noticed was the formation of the Xia army, looking at the Han River, there were many big ships, and there were torn open cannon muzzles, and there were fire guns and spears below. and the rock-solid formation he had already seen.

In front of such a battle formation, Azig didn't have to fight to know what it was like.

Under the tactical arrangement, he rationally believed that this battle could not be fought and was a situation that was bound to be lost. However, his strategic sense of smell felt that such a retreat in this war represented the reality of the two countries' mutual strengths.

Even in the Battle of Anqing, the defeat of the Qing army was just a slight inferiority in the war. It's not that the Qing army doesn't have a chance to win, Azig reviewed it several times in his heart, and found that in this battle, the Qing army was arrogant and too arrogant.

Otherwise, with the prosperity of the Qing army and cavalry, if there is no decisive battle with the Xia army, where is there such a defeat, even if the situation is a little passive, it will not be the current situation.

But in today's battle, he saw that the Xia army's army did not dare to attack, and he really couldn't fight.

The difference in this made him feel bottomless, as if he was falling into the abyss. Empty, unsupported.

However, Azig was only momentarily distracted. Then there was nothing that could be done, and he disappeared without a trace, and said, "Send a team of people to watch them, and the rest of the people will follow me into Seoul." ”

At noon, the Xia army was still in a neat array, and half of the Xia army was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding dry food in their hands and drinking river water. It's a shift break. whereas

At this moment, all the men and horses were withdrawn from the formation, passed through the long pallets behind, and boarded the ships.

This is because this place is not too far from Ganghwa Island, and it can be reached in one day at most. As a result, the ships were quite crowded, but now the retreats were all soldiers, and they had experience in the transition to the sea. So although the ship is crowded, it is orderly. Only at this time, a column of smoke rose from a distance.

This column of smoke is like a signal. Immediately, columns of smoke rose one by one, and countless pillars of smoke converged together, covering the sky and the sun for a while. In addition to the already dim daylight, it is even more difficult to see farsightedly.

It seemed that boundless Lan Qi poured out, and the scenery several miles away was blurred, as if there was earth qi climbing towards the sky.

It's just that although I can't see it really, but the sound of crying and shouting faintly reaches the ears, and the sound has been transmitted several miles away, and it has changed its tone, and I can't hear what the specific shouting is, and I can't hear who is shouting.

I can only hear the emotions in these voices, which is the word "miserable".

Zhou Chang turned his head suddenly, his face pale and weak. One of his feet stumbled and held on to the side of the ship.

Among these people, that is, Zhou Chang stayed in Seoul for the longest time, and even two Korean nobles were stuffed around him, and this time they were also brought out. Although he lived a short life in Seoul, it was the first time in his life, and no one dared to refute it.

It was the first time to take power, the first time to be in charge, and the first time to participate in such an important battle.

Countless firsts, so that this time in Seoul is something he will never forget.

It's just that what did he bring to Seoul? Although he couldn't see the specific situation in Seoul at the moment, he could guess it with his toes. For a while, countless thoughts came to his heart, and his face changed. Suddenly, a hand slapped him on the shoulder.

Zhou Chang looked back, but it was Yang Shenzu, and immediately saluted and said, "I've seen the general." ”

"It's not a taste in my heart." Yang Shenzu said.

Zhou Chang said: "Xiaguan has read sage books since he was a child, and he will inevitably have compassion. ”

Yang Shenzu sighed and said: "Your Majesty and I are both from Henan, but Henan has been killed for nothing, such a scene has appeared in Henan more than once, if it weren't for Your Majesty blocking the East in Xiangyang, I'm afraid the south would have been less protected." It's good to have compassion, but it also has to be timed. It must be known that Xiaoren is a thief of Daren, and if you want this to happen in the world, there is only one way, to kill all the captives. ”

Zhou Chang saluted and said, "General Xie instructed, and the lower officials understood." ”

Yang Shenzu secretly said in his heart: "Young people still lack experience. ”

In fact, Yang Shenzu is only in his forties now, and he can be regarded as a fighter, but he has seen Liang Huafeng's command style

, but there is a feeling that he is getting old.

There is a kind of oldness, which is not the aging of the body, but the whole world has become unrecognizable, and the things that are familiar to me have disappeared one by one.

Just as Azig felt in his heart that the change in the Xia army made him secretly frightened in his heart, Yang Shenzu originally wanted to seek recovery with this battle, but now this idea has faded.

In Seoul.

"Kill." A large number of Qing troops entered through the gates.

The Qing army intercepted and killed on both flanks, and the most killed was the North Korean army. It can be said that the main force of the North Korean army was forcibly dispersed, but fortunately, it was Zhao Yi who pressed the formation in the back, so he gathered some men and horses and stabilized the position. But even if Zhao Yi has three heads and six arms, he can't save the rout.

When the day came, the news of the withdrawal of the small Korean court from Seoul spread throughout Seoul, and for a time the hearts of the people in Seoul were fluctuating. Panic.

The hearts of the people were scattered, and everyone felt that Seoul was going to fall, and so on. Zhao Yi's series of orders, whether correct or incorrect, there were not many people to carry them out, except for the city wall guarded by Zhao Yi, the soldiers on the other city gates were all thinking about how to escape.

Therefore, in just one morning, the Qing army attacked twice, and some people in Seoul surrendered.

In this way, the Qing army divided the way and killed it.

Zhao Yi took the Zhao family's family members to continue to resist on the street, was hacked to death with a knife, and then trampled into a pulp. So much so that later people can only know who he is by clothes.

As soon as the Qing army entered Seoul, it couldn't be contained.

The Qing army did not break the city without killing people, this is already a habit. Unless there is a strict order not to kill. But Azig is now angry, and he doesn't know where to send it, how can he give such an order. Even he himself has the intention of killing people to vent his anger.

So I don't care at all.

Moreover, since the dispatch of troops to North Korea, under Seoul, it has not been smooth. There was also some depression in morale among the troops. How to improve morale, naturally the soldiers have to kill and rob, eat enough, play enough, this morale will naturally come up.

Besides, Azig didn't know what Dolgon had sent him for. The essence of Korea is all in Seoul, and the slaughter of Seoul is complete, if you can't get a few million taels of silver. He didn't believe it. After all, this North Korea is a big country in the eastern part of the Strait, doesn't it have a little family background?

With this bit of family background, Azig had to explain to Dolgon to offset the successive defeats since the battle with the Xia army.

Azig thought like this, the massacre in Seoul was naturally extremely cruel, and he would never be sealed for ten consecutive days. Later, when the Xia army repeated Seoul, Seoul had become an empty city, a ghost town. Even later, when Korea became the province of Great Xia, there was one of the reasons for this massacre.

The eldest and the second are fighting, and the third one dies. Ancient and modern.
