After the victory of the Battle of Yijuyong Pass, after three consecutive days of inventory on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, more than 10,000 people from the five military camps under the command of Jiang Yingzhao and Heiyunlong worked together to finally clean up the corpses of the braided soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, and war horses that had been frozen together in layers outside the Juyong Pass.

The heads of the Tartars, shattered by the projectiles of artillery and muskets, and the fragments of severed arms left on the ice of the Wenyu River, not to mention it.

Just those that are still complete, and the money rattail braids that were cut off after being counted and the hair braids of the Mongol soldiers, have exceeded 26,000.

More than 17,000 tails of Jianyu pigs in the shape of money rat tails and more than 9,000 heads of Mongolian soldiers with hair are piled up on an open ground outside Juyong Pass, like two hills.

Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and others suggested that these mutilated corpses and ugly heads should all be poured with fierce fire oil and burned, but Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and refused.

It is easy to burn it down, but it is not enough for future generations to remember the fate of Hulu's invasion of China.

On the evening of December 20, Ma Shilong led the first town of the Guards Army to Huailai City, and while taking over Huailai City from Wang Tingchen, he also received more than 3,000 Han young men abandoned in Huailai City from Wang Tingchen and others.

The population of Huailai City had already been slaughtered by Jianju, and after being simply cleaned up, their bodies were dumped in a mountain col outside Huailai City.

The young men who remained behind were captured from Datong and Xuanfu, and were prepared to be brought back to Liaodong as property such as people, livestock, etc.

For Jianlu, on the one hand, these people could be used as civilian husbands with the army, helping them transport grain, grass, baggage, and various wealth and materials plundered from the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, these people were brought back and could be distributed to the meritorious personnel under it as captured slaves, that is, to the so-called armored people under the Eight Banners of Jianyu.

Now, the withdrawal of the Yellow Banner was very hasty, and these slaves were originally left to the Red Flag Banner Lord Yue Tuo to lead the army to supervise the escort of a large number of property looted from the customs to withdraw to the north, but because Mang Gurtai refused to stay behind but evacuated first, Yue Tuo, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, had to leave a large amount of property and leave in a hurry.

In addition to leaving a large number of looted grain, cloth, livestock and other property in Huailai City, Yue Tuo also left behind slaves who were used to guard and transport these materials.

These Han people, like those grain, livestock and other materials, became the captured goods of the 3,000 battalion soldiers.

On November 21, Ma Shilong, who had rested for a night in Huailai City, wanted to continue to lead his army to the northwest, so he had to send a battalion of cavalry to escort more than 3,000 young men who said they were prisoners but not prisoners, and who said they were refugees but did not look like refugees, and sent them back to Juyong Pass.

For this kind of person, the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen is very complicated now, not so much to mourn his misfortune, but to be angry with him.

Although these people are not physically strong and powerful, at least everyone has hands and feet.

If you can't defeat the enemy, won't you escape? If you can't escape, can't you take up arms and resist?

Your relatives have been killed, your belongings have been robbed, and your homes have been destroyed, but you have survived by stealing your life, working as a laborer for the Jianlu, and helping the enemy transport grain and grass and baggage, where is your blood? !

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a lot of such things happened, and the responsibility of these people to defend the country was all pushed to the imperial court, as if the survival of the Ming Dynasty was just the rise and fall of the old Zhu family, which had nothing to do with themselves.

There are often strange phenomena that amaze later generations, and only a few hundred or thousands of pigtailed soldiers can escort tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Han people to Dingkou, and go all the way north to Liaodong through the state.

Among them, if there is one person who dares to take the lead to resist, there will be no such scene.

Hundreds of years later, hundreds of thousands of people in the city of Nanjing were slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, and how many of them were beheaded by themselves who knelt on the ground?

Where did the bloody backbone of these people go?

Are they still not the descendants of the Chinese nation full of blood during the Qin and Han dynasties?

No matter how this situation came to be, now the Chongzhen Emperor has to work hard to change this.

These men were escorted back by a cavalry battalion in the first town of the Guards and handed over to the fifth army battalion guarding Juyong Pass.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Nan Juyi to lead a battalion leader of the five military camps to escort these young and strong Dingkou, and choose a place to build a larger-scale Zhenyu tower in the military capital of Juyong Pass, and poured the bodies and heads of more than 27,000 Jianjiao and Mengtar, all the boulders of Shixia Ridge and the cement walls produced in Gyeonggi, and sealed them in the tower as a ring for future generations.

On the evening of 23 November, the cavalry of the 1st Town of the Guards Army rushed from the direction of Huailai again, and escorted a group of more than 2,000 young and strong men to the 5th Army Battalion in Juyong Pass.

At the same time, he also brought the latest battle report to Emperor Chongzhen, who was a little idle in Juyong Guanzhong, in the area of Datong Xuanfu.

This battle report came from Wang Tingchen, the chief officer of the 3,000 battalion, and the commanders and commanders Hui Anbo and Zhang Qingzhen.

According to the battle report, at noon on 21 November, Liu Xingzhi, deputy commander of the 3,000 battalion, led more than 4,000 cavalrymen of the Tiger Dawei and Tiger Brigades to catch up with the men and horses escorting the heavy baggage led by Yue Tuo, the owner of the Red Banner Banner, near Jiming Mountain in the southeast of Xuanfu Town.

The tiger was mighty and fierce as a tiger, and then each led his cavalry to rush into the rear of the enemy army and engaged in a fierce battle with the red flag cavalry escorting the baggage.

Around mid-afternoon, Hou Shilu, the chief officer of Xuanfu Town, led the cavalry of Xuanfu Town out of the city to help, and later Wang Tingchen, the chief officer of the 3,000 battalions, led the main force of the 3,000 battalions to Jiming Mountain to join the battle group.

In the afternoon, more than 2,400 horsemen with red flags were surrounded and annihilated, and Yue Tuo, the owner of the red flag, broke through the encirclement and rushed to the direction of Datong.

Wang Tingchen and Zhang Qingzhen also said in their battle reports that in the battle of Jiming Mountain, more than 8,000 cavalry participated in the battle before and after the 3,000 battalions, and more than 3,000 cavalry participated in the battle in Xuanfu Town, and more than 1,800 casualties were killed and wounded in the two attacks.

In addition to annihilating most of the cavalry with red flags, Wang Tingchen and others also seized a large number of materials and details escorted by the red flags in the area of Jiming Mountain, including 181 two-wheeled carts such as horses, mules and oxen.

Among them, the valuables amounted to 115,500 taels of gold, 1248,600 taels of silver, more than 10 carts of various scattered copper coins and bronze utensils, and dozens of carts of silk and satin cloth.

In addition, there were more than 2,100 Han people who followed Jianyu to escort supplies.

Wang Tingchen, Zhang Qingzhen and others were worried that the seized gold and silver and other valuables would be lost on the way back to Juyongguan, so they first escorted them into the town of Xuanfu and temporarily stored them in the official treasury of the Xuanfu Governor's Yamen.

The horses captured in this battle were requested to be temporarily transferred to Xuanfu Town, and the captured Han Dingkou was sent by the 3,000 battalions to Huailai City in the rear, and then transferred to Juyong Pass by Ma Shilong.

And the population of more than 2,000 people was naturally handed over to Nanjuyi by Emperor Chongzhen, and incorporated into this new civil carpenter camp directly managed by the Governor's Office of Beizhili.

In the next few days, the direction of Xuanfu Town was frequently reported, and Hou Shilu, the chief officer of Xuanfu Town, successively recovered Wanquan Zuowei and Huai'anwei, while Ma Shilong led the vanguard of the first town of the Guards Army to also recover Baoan Prefecture and other places.

And Fang Zhenghua, who rushed to Zhangjiakou with a large number of people from Dongchang to order the arrest of the Jin merchants, also sent someone to send a secret report, the merchants of Zhangjiakou and Dushikou, including the Fan family, a total of 11 shops and warehouses of Shanxi Datong firms were seized, and all relevant personnel were taken down.

If there is an owner, the owner will grasp the owner, and the shopkeeper will grasp the shopkeeper, and the owner and the shopkeeper are there.

Among them, Fan Sanzhen, the eldest son of the Fan family, and Fan Yuxin, the eldest grandson of Fan Yongdou himself, were arrested by the staff of the East Factory in the Fan family's house in Zhangjiakou.

In addition to the Fan family's guarding industry in Zhangjiakou and Dushikou, who were arrested by Dongchang, there are still many leaders of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce who have been arrested in Zhangjiakou and Dushikou.

There are several names that are remembered by the Chongzhen Emperor today because they were on the list of the eight imperial merchants of the Internal Affairs Office after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

For example, Wang Dayu, the big shopkeeper of the Wang family business in Puzhou, Shanxi, Jin Liangyu, the proprietor of the Jin family firm in Yicheng, Shanxi, Liang Guest, the proprietor of the Liang family firm from Lingshi, Shanxi, and Tian Shenglan, the proprietor of the Tian family from Hequ, Shanxi.

Some were not included in the list of the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Dynasty Internal Affairs Office in later generations, such as Cao Sanxi, the proprietor of the Cao family from Taigu, Shanxi, Kang Siding, the proprietor of the Kang family, a wealthy merchant from Pingyang, Shanxi, and Zhang Shoutang, the son of the Zhang family in Puzhou, Shanxi.

At the same time, the wives, concubines, brothers, and nephews of these people, as well as the wives, concubines, nephews, and nephews of Wang Dengku, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa, and others who stayed in Zhangjiakou and Dushikou, were also quickly arrested and imprisoned by Fang Zhenghua, who led the army to search for the war, and Ni Yuanlu, the imperial historian of the Xuanfu Town Supervision Army, who had led the army to sit in Zhangjiakou since the imperial court ordered Xuanda to prepare for war.

During Wang Chonggu's tenure as the governor of Xuanda, these Jin merchants who came from all over Shanxi to monopolize the border trade of Zhangjiakou and Dushikou finally ushered in the retribution they deserved.

And the business empires they operated in Zhangjiakou and Dushikou for hundreds of years and decades also collapsed.

A large amount of gold and silver, as well as houses, shops, land and goods, accumulated by these large Jin merchants in Zhangjiakou, Dushikou and Longmen along the border, also fell into the hands of Dongchang.

Although how much ready-made gold and silver these people have, and how much gold and silver their various assets can be discounted, it still needs to be further counted and tortured by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

However, Emperor Chongzhen knew that with the Jin merchants' habit of hoking gold and silver ingots, he would definitely not let himself down this time.
