Chapter 210: Prisoners of War
Knowing that the prisoners of Zhushen were released and returned to Aixinguo, these people would be slaves if they did not die, and Sun Yi was a little unbearable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Daoist Jia said, "Lord Lidel, there must be no kindness of a woman at this time. If Aixinguo crosses the river, the people of the five townships of our Tiemu country will not survive! ”
Sun Yi secretly said that not only the people of the five townships, but also the hundreds of thousands of people in Tumut will not survive, and then there will be Jiading three massacres of Yangzhou for ten days.
Sun nodded in agreement, "Okay, you go and arrange it!" ”
The captives of the Aixin Kingdom turned out to be held together, and the coalition forces found out that it was not possible.
There are always people fighting, the Manchu Guardian bullies the armor soldiers, the Zhushen armor soldiers bully Aha, and the slave Aha helps the master bully other masters.
The coalition forces had to separate the captives, one place for the Manchu Protectors, one place for the Zhushen Jiashi, and one place for the slave Aha alone.
When Daoist Jia went to the place where the prisoners were held, he first gathered all the prisoners, and Yu Shengzhi talked about the rights of the Heavenly Constitution.
Then Jia Daoshi said, Yu Shengzhi's translation:
"Unlike you, each of us has the right to live and the right to escape, and we have vowed to defend the rights of our fellow citizens."
"You have traveled thousands of miles to come to us on a hot day, violating our right to live. If you violate even one person, you will provoke 50,000 of us. So our coalition took you prisoner. ”
"In the same way, the love of the new country has also captured some of our companions. Those of our comrades were unfortunately captured by the Aixin Kingdom because they rushed to the front of the line during the battle, and they are our heroes. Most importantly, each of our companions has the right to live, so we offer to exchange you for our companions. ”
"But," Jia Daoshi raised his voice, "Ai Xinguo has not replied!" ”
"We decided to take the initiative to send some of the captives back first to show our sincerity."
Jia Daoshi found that the captives were full of disbelief.
Nor did he expect the captives to believe it now, and went on to say:
"At the same time, let you bring a message to the people who love the steward of the new country, don't kill our captured companions, or I will make your life worse than death!"
Daoist Jia randomly selected a group of captives from Zhushen, asked these people to stand up, and loudly reported their names and places of origin to the remaining captives.
"They will be released on their own initiative, and all of you who are left will see the whole process of release," he announced. ”
Jia Daoshi had the soldiers escort all the captives to the riverbank, stripped the captives to be released until they were only underpants, and then divided them into four groups.
The first group of prisoners was responsible for informing the other side. They boarded a raft that floated from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the lower reaches of the Yellow River with white flags and drums, dropping a captive with a sheepskin fetus like laying eggs every other stretch of water.
As soon as the captives holding the sheepskin fetus reached the opposite bank by the current, Jia Daoshi immediately ordered the remaining three groups to release the captives and take three reed boats with white flags, separated by two miles of water, and quickly cross the river in three ways.
Seeing that the three reed boats were about to come into the range of the guns, the bow of the ship turned parallel to the east bank. The reed boat sailed down the river and dropped the captives.
The captives were held in groups of two, each holding a thick wooden stake. On the Yellow River, it forms a line of four or five miles long.
Attacking this line with artillery is absolutely wishful thinking, and attacking this line with a Manchurian bow is nine out of ten.
Abahai on the east bank of the Yellow River looked at this line and felt a heart jam. It didn't matter whether he gave the order to shoot or not, it was impossible for the order to be transmitted so far in a short period of time, not to mention that he didn't know what kind of order to give.
Ning Wan, the deputy general who accompanied Abahai, said to himself: "Why do they fly the white flag? What do they have to do with the white flag and the white flag? ”
The captives in the Yellow River kicked all the way to the shore with wooden stakes, and were once again teased by fate on the east bank.
Some of the captives became captives as soon as they came ashore; Some of the captives were shot in the water before they could reach the shore; and those who were less than 100 feet away from being shot and captured were entertained when they came ashore; Some of the captives went ashore, and the Manchu and Han armies ignored them, as if these captives did not exist.
Abahai sighed: "According to the rules of the army, if you don't wait for these people to approach, you should shoot them!" ”
Ning Wan took the opportunity to admonish: "Great Khan, marching thousands of miles, although victorious but still defeated. The soldiers were accustomed to looting in the past, but now they have not captured it for more than a month since they set off, and they have slackened. At the beginning, the defeat of Liaodong could be attributed to the first emperor by the Great Khan, and the defeat of Yongping by the Great Khan could be attributed to Erbeile. In this expedition to the steppe, did the Great Khan think about who could be blamed? ”
Abahai couldn't help laughing, "Rather put the style, that is, you dare to say this kind of thing to me!" ”
Ning Wan said with a straight face: "The Great Khan treats me like a father and son in my family, and the slave is like a liver and brain." I didn't have the ability to be the falcon of the Great Khan, so I was willing to be a lackey in front of the Great Khan's tent. ”
"The Great Khan, although the Great Khan has made up his mind to prepare to go south to plunder the Ming Kingdom. The slave still has to say that it is better to go back to the division to attack Shanhaiguan and then take Jinzhou easily. At present, Shenyang is empty, and the army of Daling River is unstable, if Zu Dashou in Jinzhou takes advantage of the ...... of sending troops, the Great Khan, those gold and silver women with small feet compared with the country, which is more important? ”
"Gongfu", Abahai called Ning to finish my watch, "You have already said this advice three times." I said it once in Shenyang before the army set out, once when we were discussing whether to go south a few days ago, and today is the third time. Don't say it a fourth time later. ”
Abahai slowed down, "Gongfu, you don't know about military affairs. I'll tell you the truth, even if you want to go back to your teacher, you can't go back now. The army is already running out of food. ”
"Uh, what?" , I almost jumped up.
Abahai said: "Our Eight Banners are soldiers who bring their own grain and grass, and in a month's time, the consumption should be almost over." If it weren't for the forward battalion saying that they had discovered the Chahar sentry and that there was another thing about Duo'er Hong, I would have led the army south. ”
"Some people complained that I attacked Qingshanzui because I didn't care about my brother's life or death, but in fact, they didn't know that Qingshanzui had to fight. You know that there are not a few Eight Banners soldiers who sell cattle and buy horses for this expedition. If you don't rob the southern country, how can you tell them to sell their lives again in the future? ”
"Great Khan, the minions still have to say ......"
"I know, I know, discipline is rectified, and everything is fairly distributed. You're right, but I'll have to do it one by one. What do you have to deal with the current situation of this group of captives? ”
"Great Khan, this is a poisonous ploy of the enemy soldiers. These prisoners who were released were to be punished for their crimes, and at the least they were to be sent into slavery. If the Great Khan had imposed military law, the rest of the captured would have to surrender to the enemy. If the Great Khan pardoned these returning captives and damaged the majesty of military law, the soldiers in the future would be lucky. ”
"The best strategy is the lesser of two evils. All of these prisoners were punished by military law, which deterred the army and abandoned the remaining prisoners. ”
"The middle strategy is that these people are dead to the soldiers of the Eight Banners; Alive, for the other captives on the other side. ”
"The next strategy is to make these people live and die, and no one knows."
Abahai was very interested, "How do you make these people dead to the Eight Banners soldiers and alive to the other captives?" ”
Ning Wan replied: "The returning prisoners are placed in death row camps, strictly guarded on weekdays, and used to charge the battle and siege the city during battle, or to die in battle or make meritorious contributions to be liberated." Spread the news to the enemy soldiers on the other side that these returned prisoners had been sent to the mountains to farm. ”
Abahai nodded in approval, and then asked: "The exchange of prisoners of war proposed by the other side, can the Gongfu have a countermeasure?" ”
Ning Wan smiled at me: "Great Khan, those who dare to resist my Eight Banners army will die, and those who take the initiative to surrender to my Eight Banners army can steal their lives." Our army has never been in the habit of taking prisoners of war on the battlefield. Since there are no prisoners of war, how can we exchange them? ”

Born as a traitor, died as a man - the historical Ning Wan me
There is no doubt that I am both a Manchu and a Chinese, and I have studied literature and history.
During the Shunzhi period, Ning Wan served as the president of the compilation and revision of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", served as the president of the compilation and revision of the "Taizong Shilu", and translated the "Three Kingdoms", "Hongwu Sermon" and other books are ironclad evidence.
Ning Wan I, born in 1593, was born in 1621 at the age of twenty-eight Confucian Ning Wan I was taken into exile after the fall of Liaoyang and given to Nurhachi's grandson, Bel Sakhalian (the third son of Daishan), as a slave. It can be said that Ning Wan has always been Han from birth to youth.
After I joined the Imperial Taiji Bunkan as a general in 1629, I was very active. The Manchu ministers of the history called him the first Hanchen, and the emperor Taiji and him were "sincere and sideways, heart-to-heart, and kind like a father and son".
Author's note: Ning Wan I am one year younger than Huang Taiji, it is estimated that Huang Taiji is like a father, and Ning Wan is like a son. Readers should pay attention to the fact that the "Records of Taizong" is compiled and president by Ning Wan.
In February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, his father, Huang Taiji, ordered that his son Ning finish his crimes, "reform the world, all things given by Qin are confiscated, dismissed, and still given Sahalan as a slave".
The reason is that the son does not study well and goes to gamble with others.
Huang Taiji is also really, does a father need a reason to clean up his son? As the old saying goes, "If you hit a child on a rainy day, you are idle".
I'm all zeroed in because of this. From slave to general, and from general to slave.
In fact, about Ning Wan and I was demoted to slavery, we can see the clues from Ning Wan's words when I was old:
"The minister secretly missed himself, Meng Lang in his prime, lazy and greedy, disappointed the first emperor, and was wasted for ten years. The emperor set Ding Yanjing, and he had to follow the forbidden land, look up at the face of the sky, and go to the public office, and those who abide by their duties will be here for another ten years. In the past ten years, he has been patient and tight-lipped and no longer a barking dog, but he is stupid and upright, and he is erected every time he encounters something. ”
-- When I was in the prime of life, I liked to point out other people's mistakes.
Ten years later.
In the second year of Shunzhi, the regent Dolgon enabled Ning Wanme, an official to a bachelor, a scholar, and a minister of parliament, and became the founder of the Qing Dynasty.
In April of the tenth year of Shunzhi, the minister of the Inner Court asked the emperor for instructions: "Is the class and rank of Ning Wan and me and Hong Chengyu and others arranged according to the Hanchen series?" ”
Emperor Shunzhi issued an edict: "Only Ning Wan and I will be the only one whose official rank is according to the rules of Manchurian University, and the rest are according to the official rules of the Han Dynasty." ”
So at least since the Shunzhi period, Ningwan has been a Manchu, and my descendants have always considered themselves Manchus.
It can be roughly inferred that Ning Wan's transformation from Han to Manchu should be in the Huang Taiji period.
This makes the evaluation of Ning Wan's history even more polarized: outright traitor; Brilliant Manjie.
In fact, the author believes that judging such a historical figure from the perspective of the "nation" of later generations is a bit awkward.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was no clear concept of "nation".
You scold Hong Chengchou for being a traitor, a second minister, and disloyal, and Hong Chengchou may bear it silently.
If you scold Hong Chengchou as a traitor, Hong Chengchou's ghost may come to you and ask you: "What is a traitor?" ”
The author's level is limited, his intelligence is average, and he does not have the strength and desire to give people a conclusion, so there are only simple "good guys" and "bad guys" in this book, and there are some bad and bad people who have time to mix.
After all, this is just a time-traveling novel, if the descendants of the Ning family, the descendants of the yellow belt and the red belt, including the descendants of the Zhu family, the descendants of the golden family, etc., etc., are not happy after reading it,
If you're not happy, you're not happy, you're going to bite me? Who made your ancestors a celebrity? Do you want to give it to me?
Just kidding.
-- I would like to make a solemn apology to you.
