In fact, when Xiao Ruxun saw the name of Yingzhou, he remembered the description in this very funny Wuzong record.

From a modern point of view, 100,000 people fought each other for a whole day, even if the weapon was a brick, I am afraid that there will not be only such a few casualties, this account itself is full of contradictions and loopholes, on the one hand, it is recorded that 100,000 people fought for a whole day, and on the other hand, it is recorded that the casualties are so low, how to look at how discordant.

Some modern historians deduced from some clues in the history books and later records of related wars that the Mongols were indeed defeated in the Battle of Yingzhou, and the casualties may not be low, I am afraid that it will be nearly 10,000, otherwise the little Mongolian prince will not dare to continue to invade in the future.

The impression that Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao gave to future generations can be summed up in just two words, absurd, but the true intention of being the emperor hidden under this absurd skin can also be glimpsed from this contradictory historical record-

Ming Wuzong was the only emperor in the Ming Dynasty who had direct contact with the army and led troops after the large-scale death of the military general Xungui of Ming Yingzong's Tumubao and the military power was fully controlled by the civilian officials headed by Yu Qian.

In terms of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was to require future generations to directly grasp the military power, and the way was naturally to drive the military in person, but after the huge historical turning point of the Tumubao Change, this power equivalent to obligation was blocked by civilian officials.

But Zhu Hou did so.

How remarkable is that?

From the fact that none of his predecessors and successive generations of emperors had direct contact with the army, it can be seen how powerful this guy is, how good he is at drilling, and how much he annoys the civil officials led by Yang Tinghe.

Yang Ting and this genius Shoufu were later knocked over by Emperor Jiajing, and what happened in the Ming Dynasty before and after he chose Emperor Jiajing, who had no background connections, to take charge of the Great Sect can be related to this time.

There is a terrible saying that was born.

Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to say that this was true, but judging from the civil officials he had come into contact with, the birth of this statement was not groundless, and he really didn't have a good impression of Yang Tinghe.

Now that he has come to Yingzhou, looking at the devastated land, he remembers that 80 years ago it was also devastated here, but what brought the Ming army was the joy of victory, and now, all that was left to him was endless sorrow.

Everything here is better than that of Shanyin County, and what Xiao Ruxun saw was either ruins or broken corpses, and the brutality of the northern captives was vividly reflected here.

Xiao Ruxun didn't meet the Beilu here, and Nurhachi, who was still moving forward, didn't meet the Beiyu, but Xiao Ruxun had never been so eager to meet the Beiyu as he was now, and then fight fiercely.

Set up an altar to worship the dead people here, after burning their bones, Xiao Ruxun continued to lead the troops forward, on the fourth day of the third month of the 26th year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun led the troops to arrive in Wuli Village, and at this time, Nurhachi had already led the troops to Huairen County, and he finally sent back the battle report that Xiao Ruxun wanted to see.

Nurhachi's sentinels found about 2,000 Bei captives stationed in Huairen County, and he also found out that there were a large number of Han people in Huairen, probably captured by the Bei captives as slaves, and the number was about 10,000.

Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered Li Rusong to lead a large army to continue to advance, and he himself led 300 cavalry of his personal guards to the garrison of Nurhachi, south of Huairen, overnight.

If there were Han prisoners, things would be different, and rescuing them was the key, and Nurhachi's Jurchen cavalry could not charge casually, and they had to plan carefully.

At dusk on the fifth day of the first month of March, Xiao Ruxun led people to arrive at the uninhabited small village where Nurhachi led his troops to station, Nurhachi waited for Xiao Ruxun here, and when Xiao Ruxun arrived, he took him to the north to explore the situation in Huairen County, Xiao Ruxun personally checked and determined the existence of Han captives in the city, this county is probably already a stronghold of the Beiyu, so that a little further north you must meet a large force of the Beiju.

"General Tong, there are Han people in the city right now, we can't blindly attack, otherwise it will make the Beiyu react, and it is more likely to threaten Han people, we must come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, I must save these Han people."

Xiao Ruxun gave this order to Nurhachi, and Nurhachi was very depressed about it.

You fight a war, you actually have to save people, I know that you Xiao Ruxun loves the people like a son, but do you want to be so willful? It's good to kill more than 2,000 northern captives, and the rest of the lives will naturally be saved, so you have to save them all......

Nurhachi felt like her brain hurt.

He is good at killing, not good at saving people.

"Governor Xiao, this, this last general is really not good at planning, if the governor has a way, the last general will naturally obey the order."

Xiao Ruxun also knew that it was really difficult to let this murderous demon save people, but at the moment he didn't know much about Huairen County, and the specific situation inside was not clear, and there was not enough time for him to design calmly, so he was actually a little annoyed for a while.

"Newspaper!! Shiro! We caught a small piece while patrolling outside the camp!! ”

One of Xiao Ruxun's personal guards rushed into the camp tent and reported his exploits to Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun's pro-soldier generals from Ningxia headquarters all call Xiao Ruxun Shiro, and if the foreign army wants to call this rather close name, it is okay to become the most accurate sharpshooter and join the pro-soldier guard.

Everyone in Zhennan is honored to call Xiao Ruxun "Shiro", which is also a means of motivating the military, and it has been proved that this method is still very good.

"Finesse?"

Xiao Ruxun frowned, and then looked at Nurhachi.

Nurhachi was furious: "Impossible! I was very cautious when I marched with my army, and I kept sending sentinels to search around, so it was impossible to be discovered! ”

"But that's really a fine work! Sneaky outside the village, we saw him suspicious, so we caught him, he was Han, and it was very strange that he had a rifled flint flint in his hand that only our guards could use. ”

The guard said firmly.

Xiao Ruxun frowned: "Rifled flint? Bring it to me. ”

The guards promised to go out, and after a while, there were voices from outside the tent, "I'm not a fine worker", "I am not a fine worker", "You fools", "Let go of me!" I'm a lifter", "I finally escaped and found you, and you actually said that I was a fine worker".

Xiao Ruxun felt very strange, and when the "fine work" was caught in the big tent, Xiao Ruxun took a closer look and felt that something was wrong.

With a white face and a thin body, he doesn't look like a person who begs for a living in such a place, how can this kind of person do fine work?

The guards handed over a flintlock firearm, Xiao Ruxun saw it, it was really a flintlock firearm produced in Burma Town, or rifled, this kind of gun did not have a thousand shots in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for his own army, only the emperor had ten rods given by himself, what kind of person is this guy, how can there be?

"Are you a fine worker?"

The man was pushed to his knees and argued loudly: "This general! I'm not a meticulous worker! My name is Xu Guangqi, and I am a lifter! ”

Xiao Ruxun was stunned for a moment.
