On the Yamen Square, the ministers of civil and military affairs wore court robes and arranged according to their classes, and the Dharma Driving Halo Book, the Dan Majesty Halo Book, the Danqi Halo Book, the Battle Horse, the Infantry Five-Wheel Treasure Elephant, and the Band were neatly placed, all of which showed that an important ceremony would be held. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the sun is approaching the middle of the sky, the golden bell in the line rings for a long time, and the hundred officials kneel down in the direction of the yamen, at this time, a yellow Luo umbrella appeared in the square outside the governor's yamen, under the umbrella is dressed in a cyan dragon robe, and Zhu Youhua, who has a clear and handsome face, is surrounded by many guards, and sits on the throne that has already been placed. After a while, the bell stopped, and Baiguan got up. A young official of the Ministry of Rites came out of his shift, shouting loudly and clearly: "Prisoners! ”。

The royal camp pro-army on the square also shouted with the sound, and the sound shook the sky, and the momentum was magnificent. Soon, dozens of captives dressed in red prison uniforms, with white necklaces and shackles on their hands and feet, escorted by a hundred and ten tall and sturdy guards, walked into the governor's yamen square, and when they reached the center, the captives were pressed to their knees.

This is a prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and the prisoners kneeling below are Xu Yong, the former battalion commander under Zuo Liangyu, the deputy general Daniel Zhang, the deputy general Zhang Yingxiang, and the deputy general Xu Yuxian; Ma Jinzhong, the chief soldier of the rear battalion, Jin Shengheng, the deputy general Wang Deren, the deputy general Ma Shixiu and others; There are also Gu Gao, Chen Zhenhui, Lei Yanzuo and others who fled to Zuo Liangyu's army for political refuge. Most of the people knelt in the square and shrugged their heads, looking dejected.

At this time, the ceremony was still going on, the prisoners were found to be behind them, were loaded into the prisoner car, and paraded around the city, and then some military officials came forward to ask for instructions on how to deal with them, Zhu Youhua ordered to be taken into custody first, and then punished after agreeing on a disposal plan, and then hundreds of sergeants of the imperial battalion took over the prisoners and demoted generals from the military department officials, and escorted them out. Then, the civil and military officials knelt three times and bowed nine times to the emperor, congratulated the emperor, and after the ceremony, the big music was played, and in the music, the ceremony ended.

Offering prisoners, is a kind of military salute in the ancient Chinese five rites, the army goes out to win the victory, in addition to the sacrifice in the Taimiao, is to hold a grand ceremony, to the emperor to offer prisoners, and report the battle situation, please indicate the disposal of prisoners of war, this is a major ceremony to promote the national prestige.

In ancient times, the most important thing in a country was sacrifice and war, the so-called "major affairs of the country, only Rong and ritual". The sacrifice of prisoners is a major event that combines the two, and its importance can be imagined. In the Ming Dynasty, the people were full of reverence for ghosts and gods, and although Zhu Youhua was an atheist from later generations, he still attached great importance to the matter of sacrificing prisoners and treated it as a major event.

There is no better way to display military might and inspire people than to hold a grand and solemn ceremony for the sacrifice of prisoners.

For this reason, before the start of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Zhu Youhua also specially ordered people to expose the military report of the great victory in the Battle of Jiujiang, and played the report loudly along the way, so that the gentry and people of the Ming Dynasty knew that the imperial court had won a great victory. He also transmitted the details and results of the entire battle to various places in the form of a palace report, publicizing the military might of the central imperial camp and giving a great deterrent to those unstable feudal towns and gentry. Whoever dares to take the lead in rebellion is such a result!

The "Lubu" system began in the Later Wei Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, those who did not seal official documents were originally called "Lubu". Later Wei announced the victory with "Lubu". Whenever he conquered the battle, he wanted to make the world known, so he used a lacquer rod to write a good report. This method was later widely adopted, and Lubu became the "Book of Dedication" that "spread all over the world, and exposed the eyes and ears". Since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there has been the ritual of declaring cloth. At that time, hundreds of officials and envoys from all directions were gathered outside the Guangyang Gate to read out the Lubu. After the reading, the hundred officials danced and bowed again.

The victory of the princes over the enemy and the news of the victory to the Son of Heaven or the great powers, also known as Xianjie. The good news is generally read out in the court in the early dynasty, and it is called "Xuanjie". At the end of the war, if the enemy surrenders, there is a surrender ceremony.

Since the "strongest feudal town" Zuo Liangyu of the Southern Ming Dynasty raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch, the people of the entire south can be said to be panicked, and now that the imperial army has won the victory against the rebels, it is natural to publicize it from the inside out, so as to reshape the majesty of the imperial court, enhance the authority of the Son of Heaven, and enhance the gentry and the people's sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, as the news of the success of the pro-conquest army to quell the rebellion spread, the officials and people who supported the Ming dynasty in various places were very surprised and relieved, and some of the feudal towns at both ends of the first rat secretly rejoiced that they did not make a first bird. In particular, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian, after learning the results of this war, had a new understanding of the military strength of the imperial court, and finally began to attach importance to this "Zhangwu" regime that had not been established for a long time from the bottom of his heart.

The saddest thing is those Donglin gentry who have ghosts in their hearts, waiting to see the "Tumubao Change" this good show staged again, when they learned the news that the Son of Heaven took the pro-conquest army to destroy the thieves in a battle, they were all in disbelief, they didn't expect that the Nanming "No. 1 strong domain" Zuo Liangyu who pinned their hopes on was defeated so easily, or lost to a fledgling, they were not optimistic about it at all.

While they secretly scolded Zuo Liangyu for being incompetent, they were a little overwhelmed in their hearts, and they quickly clamped the fox's tail cleverly, restrained their behavior, and didn't dare to be too active under the nose of the imperial court anymore.

The political significance of the great victory in the Battle of Jiujiang began to come to the fore.

After the ceremony of surrendering the prisoners, Zhu Youhua immediately convened a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss how to deal with the surrender of troops and generals.

After some deliberation, Zhu Youhua finally decided: All Zuo Liangyu's cronies and generals directly cut down and killed chickens and monkeys. After all, among this batch of captive generals, there are still a few fierce generals who can fight tough battles, and it is a pity that they are all idle.

For example, the chief soldier Xu Yong, who was the governor He Tengjiao at the beginning; Later, he was subordinate to Zuo Liangyu, Marquis of Ningnan, and was the chief soldier.

Brave in battle, in the second year of Shunzhi (1645) in Jiujiang with Zuo Mengeng to the British prince Azige, the office of Jiujiang General Army, transferred to Changsha, Longwu had sent someone to lobby him anyway, Xu Yong killed the Longwu envoy, in the first year of 1648, Jin Shenghuan anyway, sent a messenger to lobby him anyway, Xu Yong killed the Ming envoy again, enough to be called a hardcore traitor.

In 1649, Prince Yingzheng defeated He Tengjiao, a scholar of Ming University. Transferred to the general army of Chenchang. In the ninth year of Shunzhi (1653), King Gui sent Bai Wenxuan to attack, drove the elephant as a array, broke the city, Xu Yongxiang was killed in battle, his wife Cao's family, Zi Zuotai and relatives 39 people were killed, it can be said that the last drop of blood was shed for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Shunzhi Emperor was grateful for his loyalty and bravery, and gave the prince Taibao, a second-class man who entered the world, and was loyal to the festival. It's a pity that in the Qianlong Dynasty, the case was overturned by Qianlong and condemned as a second minister, which is really a great irony.

There was also the adjutant general Daniel Zhang, who surrendered to Azig in Jiujiang in 1645 (the second year of Shunzhi), and recruited more than 700 people below the general army, and was awarded the title of guerrilla, under the command of Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi. With Meng Qiaofang, he moved to Shaanxi and Gansu, suppressed the uprisings of Milayin and Ding Guodong, and was promoted to the chief soldier of Gansu. Later, he followed Hong Chengchou through Huguang and Yunnan-Guizhou, and was promoted to the governor of Yunnan.

In the second year of Kangxi (1663), Daniel Zhang was reappointed as the governor of Gansu, and then guarded Gansu for more than ten years. During the San Francisco Rebellion, Daniel Zhang was made a general of Jing and a marquis of Jing rebellion, cutting off the Gansu rebels from Wu Sangui and adding a young master and prince.

In the twenty-third year of Kangxi (1684), Daniel Zhang went to Danshan to defend Qinghai Mongolia, and died of illness in Ganzhou on the way. Looking at his resume, in addition to clearing this stain, his ability to command troops is still very good, and it is no wonder that he has been reused by the Qing court all the way.

In addition, there are also Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and so on.

In the original history, these two people belonged to Zuo Liangyu at first, and then descended from Liangyuzi Zuo Mengeng, captured Jiangxi, and awarded the general army. In the second year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1648), because of the anger of the Qing court, the Qing court rewarded too thin, the governor of Jiangxi Zhang Yutian, and the governor of Jiangxi according to Dong Xuecheng coerced his money, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren returned to the Ming Dynasty in Nanchang, Jiangxi anyway, and invited Jiang Yueguang to revolt, captured and killed the governor of Jiangxi Zhang Yutian, the Qing Jiangxi governor Dong Xuecheng, and the political envoy Chi Changlong, and the Qing army was forced to withdraw from Hunan.

Soon, the Qing court sent an army of 100,000 mainly to besiege Nanchang with the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, and Jin Shenghuan sent people to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, for help, but He Tengjiao did not go to the rescue. In the case of lack of soldiers and food in the city, Jin and Wang still held on for eight or nine months, dragging the main force of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners for nearly a year, and Nanchang was breached, although the two died in glory. It can be regarded as one of the few fierce generals in the Southern Ming Dynasty. It is much stronger than Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo in the four towns of Jiangbei who have tens of thousands of soldiers and surrender without firing a shot.

After the end of the imperial meeting, Zhu Youhua ordered Zhu Dadian to sit directly in the military camp, use military ammunition to suppress the prisoners, screen and clean up the diehard henchmen of the Zuo family, and then reorganize the soldiers, merge this force and turn it into his own use.

In the cold winter, the wind roared angrily, and the operation of purging the prisoners of surrender had been carried out for three days unconsciously, and all the military schools were strictly checked, and with the assistance of the imperial battalion soldiers, a large number of Zuo Liangyu's clan relatives and township party members were arrested and directly escorted to the court to behead.

At the same time, Zhu Dadian, who was a thorny soldier and ruffian who provoked trouble in the camp, was also unrelenting, and constantly marched to kill people, and in two or three days, hundreds of human heads had been hung on the fence of the camp.

Of course, it is not good to blindly use force, and Zhu Dadian did not treat the obedient pawns well, and specially bought 100 pigs and sheep in the market to comfort them. At this point, the army's spirit was gradually convinced, and no one dared to make trouble anymore.

When Zhu Youhua patrolled and descended to the camp, there was no noise, and it was quiet everywhere as usual, so far he finally saw a little bit of Zhu Dadian, the means of the feudal minister.

After wandering around the camp for a while, Zhu Youhua went to the wounded barracks of the Imperial Camp to comfort the wounded sergeants.

In this battle, his own side suffered hundreds of casualties, although it was insignificant compared to the enemy's losses, but Zhu Youhua still felt a pain in his flesh.

These imperial battalion sergeants were cultivated by him with a lot of time, they were his most loyal subordinates, and they were also the capital that determined whether he could survive in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Youhua also knew that if he wanted the pro-army in the imperial camp to grow up quickly, he had to go through the baptism of blood, the big waves washed the sand, and the hundred refinements turned into gold, and some prices had to be paid.

He has nothing to say about the martyrs of the imperial camp, and he will definitely bury them well and bury them ceremoniously, so that their souls can rest in peace.

For the injured, Zhu Youhua will also hire the best ulcer doctor in the city (ancient surgeons) to treat them wholeheartedly, and the serious injuries are more difficult to treat, and some minor injuries will be taken care of a little better, so as not to cause wound inflammation, they will be alive again in a few days.

In the wounded barracks, an old doctor pointed to the two seriously injured soldiers beside him, and cautiously played to the emperor Zhu Youhua: "These two, one is a knife wound, and the other is a gunshot wound, although it is very serious, fortunately, it is not critical, the knife wound will be sewn up, put on some gold sore medicine, and stop the bleeding, and the wound will have a chance to heal if it does not suppurate after a few days."

The gunshot wound is a bit troublesome, look at this wound, it should be caused by a shotgun, although the lead is not deep, but the lead itself is poisonous, even if the lead is taken out, the internal flesh may be poisoned and fester, but the grass people will try to dig up the poisoned meat, and in the end whether it can avoid suppuration and heal, it depends on his creation. ”

Zhu Youhua nodded, the medical level of the Ming Dynasty was really primitive and simple, and the medical environment was relatively dirty, plus those ulcer doctors did not understand bacteriology, and the cloth strips bandaged before and after the operation were not disinfected could easily cause wound infection, and the mortality rate of seriously injured sergeants was very high, and almost all of them died of wound infection and suppuration.

At this point, Zhu Youhua had already reminded more than a dozen hired folk ulcer doctors in the wounded barracks in advance, asking them to put the cloth strips used to bandage the wounds in the steamer for a while and a half before using them, although those ulcer doctors did not know why the emperor wanted them to do that. However, combined with years of clinical experience, they found that it can indeed reduce the chance of wound suppuration and improve the survival rate of injured patients.
