The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners is so interesting that it is not only infinitely attractive to military generals, but also to ordinary soldiers.

Participating in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony and going to Beijing means that you will not only have the opportunity to observe the emperor's honor up close, but also experience the customs of the capital up close, and see the little lady with fine skin and tender meat that is not usually seen.

In addition to this, the most important thing is that you can also get extra good treatment, you can eat several extra meals of meat, drink several meals of broth, and eat several dry meals! There may be an additional bounty.

What a good thing this is for the sergeants who have been working hard all year round?

They knew very well in their hearts that after this battle, they would be separated from Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun could not always command them, the court would not allow it, and it was impossible to allow them to have such good treatment all the time.

In the future, it will be the same, one dry meal and two thin meals, or one dry meal and one thin meal, or even two thin meals, no meat, no oil, and even pickles may not be enough.

The smell of oil can't be tasted, the taste of meat can't be tasted, the saltiness is not necessarily enough, the feeling of dryness in the mouth seems to be coming back, and now this kind of eating meatloaf and drinking broth feels warm and has endless strength, the days are over.

In winter, you have to be frozen, and in summer, you have to be hot, there is no comfortable life to live all year round, and you have to be bullied by the director of the guard at every turn, and you have to do miscellaneous labor, and it is okay to be a private soldier, but it is as simple as not being hungry.

The days when I was cared for like Xiao Ruxun were really ...... Possible...... Gone forever, right?

With this in mind, an indescribable atmosphere slowly spread through the army, and in addition to the joy of victory, this atmosphere was also quite strong.

The reluctance to cling to the beloved general, that strong sense of belonging.

I don't know if we will be able to fight side by side again in the future.

Therefore, the triumphal sacrifice ceremony may be the last time to cooperate with each other, and there are really many people who want to go.

Needless to say, there are meritorious generals, naturally everyone can get benefits, everyone can go, and if the grassroots officers and ordinary soldiers below want to go, they have to compete for it, and the quota is limited, and there will be no exceptions to this.

And what is very depressing is that Xiao Ruxun's soldiers and horses and Li Rusong's soldiers and horses were all transferred from other places, and they passed through the Beijing division on the way back, whether they were counted in the ceremony or not, they could enjoy that kind of treatment, and not to mention anything else, didn't the Liaodong Army and the Zhennan Army play a big role in the war?

Places are even tighter.

Xiao Ruxun calculated that there were more than 2,300 people on his side who could be brought back, and more than 14,000 people on Li Rusong's side who could be brought back, and these people could not all be counted in the triumphant team, otherwise there would be too many people and it would be inappropriate.

The soldiers who made enough merit to participate in the triumphant surrender ceremony of the prisoners, to be honest, were not so many.

There are more than 1,500 people on his side who meet the standards, and if they can't be all on it, then there will be a 500 representative, and Li Rusong's side can't be all on it, and most of Nurhachi's Jurchen soldiers can't go, and they can only count a few leaders in the sequence of the Liaodong Army, barely counting 2,000 people.

In this way, there are 2,500 people, except for these 2,500 people, as well as the meritorious soldiers of the army in Jizhen, Taiyuan, Yulin and other places, after a rough screening, the people who meet the standards are about 10,000 people, and these people cannot all be taken away, otherwise it is still a very serious problem whether the fragile treasury on the side of the imperial court can support it.

Bringing back too much will also give people a feeling of not knowing the severity, although Xiao Ruxun is not afraid of the criticism of civil officials, but the way of being a minister must be observed, and everything must be rules.

Then screen and screen, and select about 5,000 people to take back to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

Xiao Ruxun gave an approximate figure here, and the army below began to fight openly and secretly, all kinds of tricks came out, you fought for me without mercy, and Li Rusong suddenly found that even if he was fierce, in such a situation, those generals actually gritted their teeth and did not retreat.

He couldn't help but feel very depressed.

The army was happily preparing to participate in the triumphal sacrifice ceremony, and by the way, they were waiting for the edict of the imperial court, but after the imperial court received the news of the great victory of the army, it was already in chaos.

At first, it was indeed a joy, because it was an extremely glorious victory against the Northern Captives not seen in decades.

This battle from the very beginning of the rout, Datong Shanxi all the way to retreat, the nine border defense line broke a big gap, the Central Plains shook, the Beijing division shook, and now 40,000 iron cavalry northern expedition to the Naturalized City, the big break of the Naturalization City Bei, arson to announce the mighty victory of the Celestial Empire......

It's only been a few months.

The Ming Dynasty spent the 26th year of the uneasy Wanli New Year in the panic of 100,000 captives from the north to Shanxi, but after the beginning of the year, after the famous general Xiao Ruxun led the army back to the north, the good news came one after another.

Recovering Shanxi, recovering Datong, killing Hukou and counterattacking, and the Northern Expedition to Naturalize City, the Ming army fought an extremely beautiful turnaround.

The first 100,000 northern captives who went south have already become the heads and bones, and the more than 300,000 Tumut tribes who moved south to try to occupy the magpie's nest were also killed by the Ming army, and 7788 of the 500,000 northern captives who killed Hukou were killed, and the northern captives who were entrenched in Guihua City did not know how many were killed......

How many were beheaded by the Ming army in this battle?

The Ministry of War sent someone to count it a little, before and after, since the army, Xiao Ruxun has never lost a battle, and has been winning battles, each time he beheads a lot, and the number of heads that can be counted as beheading is not less than 100,000.

As for the other heads that were cut off by the Ming army to make Jingguan, there were more than 200,000, no less than 200,000, and the heads alone were cut off 300,000, as for the dead......

The officials' hands were shaking as they counted the numbers.

They didn't dare to imagine such a number, and they didn't dare to imagine that so many heads were cut off by those Qiu Ba who they despised and ridiculed, for so many years, every time they won a victory, they were more than a dozen or dozens, and occasionally they dared to call a big victory if they broke a hundred, and now they cut off 100,000 heads in one go......

Is this a return to the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties? Back to the time when the Ming Dynasty was just established, did Taizu Chengzu go on the Northern Expedition to the grassland more than ten times and only called the Northern Captives his mother?

How could those Qiu Ba have become so violent? After this battle, he actually beat the northern captives to this point?

For some reason, a feeling of awe, almost to the point of fear, suddenly rose in their hearts.

It's like a comet...... No! What method did the general like a demon god use to bring out the military generals and soldiers on the nine sides who rarely fought outside the fortress to achieve this great cause?

Is that a person?
