Chapter 286: Release Huang Taiji
Thank you for the monthly pass support of the old ugly Gao Ming!
……
The army responsible for screening between the Han and Jurchen people was the local army of Liaodong, and the Liaodong soldiers and the Houjin had a deep hatred, and the results of this task given to them can be imagined.
For the Han people, the Liaodong sergeant can barely restrain his emotions, if he does not cooperate, at most he will be beaten and scolded, but for the Jurchens, the Liaodong sergeant can not control his emotions at all, and the obedient are okay, after the robbery and adultery, the soldiers often do not kill, but if there is a slight resistance, what is ushered in is slaughter.
For all this, the high-level of the Ming army also turned a blind eye, they knew that the Ming and Houjin had too deep grievances, especially in Liaodong, not to mention that Houjin also slaughtered the city at every turn, and the soldiers had long been angry and needed to vent.
This night was destined to be a bloody night, as more than half of the Jurchens who were left behind in the city died overnight, and their wealth was looted by the soldiers. If it weren't for the law enforcement team, it might even turn into a mass massacre tonight.
On the third day of the fall of Shengjing, Mao Wenlong attacked Hetuala. Mao Wenlong's entire family was killed by the Houjin people, he had a deep hatred for the Houjin, and after he attacked Hetuala, his first order was to slaughter the city. Mao Wenlong's slaughter of the city was really wiped out, no matter men, women and children, not even poultry were left alive, the entire Hetuara was killed into a ghost city, after Mao Wenlong was killed, he still didn't understand his hatred, and then a fire burned the entire Hetuala.
After the fall of Hetuala, the Houjin army of Fushun also took the initiative to evacuate Fushun, and they did not dare to slaughter the city when they evacuated Fushun, and now Huang Taiji has fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
At the beginning of November, Zhu Youxiao rushed to Shengjing. After arriving in Shengjing, Zhu Youxiao first rewarded the heroes.
This time, the leading generals of the Middle Route Army each had their own rewards, Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong were both made counts, Lu Xiangsheng, You Shilu and others were awarded barons, and the East Road Army, only Mao Wenlong was named a baron, and the West Road Army was not rewarded.
After the reward was completed, Zhu Youxiao wanted to meet Huang Taiji, a hero. Aside from other factors, the evaluation of Huang Taiji in history is still extremely high.
Huang Taiji was soon brought to Zhu Youxiao. Although Huang Taiji was injured, he recovered well under the care of the Ming army's accompanying military medical officer.
"Don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan first reprimanded.
"I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I am no different from the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty." Huang Taiji said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, loosen the tie for Huang Taiji and give him a seat." ”
Huang Taiji didn't speak, and sat down on the stool that the guards had brought up.
"I won a big victory in this battle, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao said.
"The Ming army is only victorious in firearms." Huang Taiji said.
"Looks like you're still not convinced! I'll give you a chance, I'll let you go back this time, and I hope you won't let me down next time. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, don't ......" As soon as they heard Zhu Youxiao's words, the other generals immediately dissuaded.
"I have my own plans." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to interrupt the others.
"Your Majesty, don't let Huang Taiji go, Your Majesty's move is undoubtedly to let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!" Sun Chengzong still said unrelentingly.
"My teacher, don't you still believe in me? If I can defeat Huang Taiji today, he will definitely be able to do it tomorrow. Zhu Youxiao said.
"Great Tomorrow, it seems that your subordinates do not approve of your decision......" Huang Taiji sneered.
"You don't have to provoke me, I will let you go if I say I will let you go, and I will let me take a Baylor." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Come, bring all the captured Baylors." Zhu Youxiao continued.
Throughout the battle, the Ming army successively captured a total of four Baylors of the Later Jin, including Tang Gu, Mang Gurtai, Abatai and Babutai.
"You pick a Baylor." Zhu Youxiao said.
Choosing one of the four people really made Huang Taiji very difficult, and these four people were all his own brothers.
"Great Khan, choose me!" Abatai pleaded.
"Pick me, choose me, Great Khan!" Tang Gu also pleaded at this time.
"Don't even make any noise." Huang Taiji despised the two of them.
"You have a choice?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"I've chosen, I've chosen Mang Gurtai." Huang Taiji said.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I will let you and Abatai go." ”
"I said I chose Mang Gurtai." Huang Taiji emphasized.
"I said I would let you and Abatai go." Zhu Youxiao also emphasized.
"It is said that the great tomorrow is golden, why is it broken in the world today in front of everyone?" Huang Taiji said coldly.
"Think about it, did I agree with you to take your chosen Baylor with you? Maybe I mean the Baylor you chose must stay? Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, the generals of the Ming army in the hall laughed and said: "In this matter, the minister can prove it to His Majesty, and everything is as His Majesty said." ”
"Tomorrow, I'll wait if I can leave." Huang Taiji said expressionlessly.
"Of course, send Huang Taiji and Abatai away." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Farewell, today's grace, I will remember it in my heart." Huang Taiji said fiercely.
"Spread the decree and use the heads of Houjin captives to pay tribute to the dead soldiers." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
"No."
Hearing the news, Huang Taiji, who had just walked to the door, spurted out a mouthful of blood.
……
In the evening of the same day, Zhu Youxiao held a grand dinner to reward the officers and men of the three armed forces. In such a border area, even when rewarding the three armies, Zhu Youxiao strictly forbade drinking, and the garrison could not be relaxed for half a minute.
After rewarding the army, Sun Chengzong found Zhu Youxiao again to ask the reason for the release of Huang Taiji, in his opinion, the release of Huang Taiji was too incredible.
"Does my master want to hear the truth, or is it a lie?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"How do you tell the truth? What about lies? Sun Chengzong asked curiously.
"I am generous and benevolent, and I can't bear to kill Huang Taiji, and I and Huang Taiji also cherish heroes and heroes, so I let him go." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"And what about the truth?" Sun Chengzong said helplessly. Sun Chengzong knew that Zhu Youxiao hated Houjin more than most people, otherwise Zhu Youxiao would not have committed a taboo to massacre Houjin's captives.
"My goal has not been completed, both I and the empire need an enemy, there are too many conservative people in the empire, they don't know how to forge ahead and be content with the status quo, this is what I don't want to see, and now the only ones who can make the empire have a sense of urgency are Houjin and Huang Taiji." Zhu Youxiao explained.
"Houjin is a big trouble, not only is it always like a fish in the throat, Your Majesty needs enemies, and the Mongols are also enemies of the empire." Sun Chengzong said.
