Ningwan I lived up to the Great Khan's trust and succeeded in provoking riots in Kuku and Tuncheng, and the Mongols began to fight each other and throw stones at each other.

Overnight, the riots inexplicably escalated into riots.

Mongolian mobs began to loot shops, Mongolian mobs began to set fire to houses, Mongolian mobs began to attack lamas, Mongolian mobs began to destroy temples......

The Great Khan of Manchukuo, Abahai, decisively transferred his own yellow flag to protect the Silver Buddha Temple, the holy land of Buddhism. The Silver Buddha Temple is surrounded by yellow flags, and all people are forbidden to enter and exit. The Ombu Lama in the monastery repeatedly asked to see the Great Khan, but was stopped by the soldiers with yellow flags on the grounds of insecurity.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the sixth month, Abahai's stern proclamation hung at the gate of the Silver Buddha Temple, and two charred corpses hung on a large tree outside the Silver Buddha Temple.

It is said that it was two Manchurian soldiers who were loyal to the Buddha, who could not fight back in the face of the mob, scolded and scolded back, and were actually hung up and burned alive by the murderous Mongolian thugs!

The Great Khan Abahai was forced to terminate the Eight Banners Army from going out to perform important military affairs, and urgently transferred the Eight Banners back to the city to quell the riots.

Although the Eight Banners who returned to the city marched slowly, they immediately appeared outside the city.

The team of the Eight Banners mixed with a large number of cattle and sheep, and the volume became huge. The number of people in the Eight Banners was more than double that when they set off a few days ago, it turned out that each Eight Banners armor soldier had an additional Aha to follow, and there was more than one Aha around the guards and generals.

These Ahha's eyes were full of fear, and when they looked closely, there was a hint of happiness in the fear.

They should indeed be secretly glad that they could be spared death because they were selected by the Eight Banners to be Aha. Those who dared to confront the Manchurian soldiers, those who were a little stronger, and those villagers who couldn't say why at all, were all beheaded by the Manchurian soldiers under their noses.

The blood of the dead villagers sprayed Aha's face, and Aha didn't dare to wipe it. After the Manchurian soldiers cut off the heads of the villagers, Aha took the knife that was still dripping blood for his master. The Manchurian soldiers took the time to insult their sisters, the Eight Banners soldiers screamed, the girl cried silently, and Aha held the master's knife and closed his eyes and did not listen.

The Ahabs didn't dare to say a word, or even look at their masters, and all their minds were spent on how to lead the horses for their masters and how to carry the baggage for their masters.

The Eight Banners were stationed outside Kuku and Tuncheng, and the armored soldiers were ordered to enter the city to quell the chaos, and the military order was not to leave a single mouthful.

When the white flag broke, Duoduo Taiji heard the military order and immediately announced that he had been tired for days, was sick, and needed bed rest.

Great Khan Abahai shook his head and smiled bitterly, agreed to Le Duoduo's request to rest, and ordered Duo'er Hong to take over the white flag, and if Duo'er Red couldn't come over, he would hand it over to Haoge!

The children of the Eight Banners rushed into Kuku and Tun, killing people when they saw them, and the streets of Kuku and Tun were soaked with blood, and the corpses were piled up.

The massacre continued until the evening, and the Great Khan Abahai could not stand the smell of dead people all over the city, so he camped outside the city with the army of the Eight Banners.

The once prosperous Kuku and Tun became a dead city.

Dead silence, without a single sound.

In the soft moonlight, there are only ghosts.

Abahai specially sent people to the Silver Buddha Temple outside the city to investigate the movements of Lama Omubu. Return: The Ombu Lama recited the sutras all day and all night, and no longer asked to see the Great Khan.

Abahai then slept soundly.

On the sixth day of the first month of June, the solar term is hot, and each flag reports the harvest of going out and distributes the spoils of war in a unified manner.

To Abahai's surprise, the 500 people who went to the Yellow River gained very little, only 100 people, 2 camels, and 1,000 cattle and sheep.

A hundred prisoners, five hundred Manchurian armored soldiers can't be divided! And not a single horse!

The leader of the team replied that the people in the Yellow River area were very bad. Diao Min transferred his property early, and the fast-moving horses were not visible. At night, the team is often raided by bandits, and the hard-earned raw space collected during the day is often lost during the night. The bandits did everything, assassinated, poisoned, and could not be prevented, and the men and horses did not dare to disperse and loot.

Abahai pondered for a long time and asked, "Is there a lama temple in the Yellow River?" ”

The chief replied, "Not yet." ”

Abahai thought for a moment and said to himself: "That's no wonder. ”

Summing up the gains of the people and horses of the Eight Banners, as expected by the Great Khan Abahai, the food obtained was very small. To Abahai's relief, the Eight Banners army had destroyed all the crops in the field before leaving.

A total of 37,482 people were captured by the Eight Banners. Of them were 18,915 men, 18 camels, 42 horses and mules, 797 asses, 5,941 oxen, and 11,965 sheep and goats.

Of the 18,915 captives, all the other banners of the population had been enslaved by the armoured soldiers, except for 10 women and 10 girls of each banner promised by Abahai.

Of the 18,755 animals taken captive, only 42 horses and mules were used to fight with the army. In the battles of Kuku and Tun, the number of horses killed by the Eight Banners was far more than this number. Abahai ordered horses, mules, and donkeys to replenish the horses. The banners then rewarded the armorers with oxen as they deserved to the horses of their horses.

And of the rest of the cattle and sheep that were captured, they were to be offered to the Great Khan and to the Beylers.

Then take ten oxen and one hundred sheep for each banner, and one thousand sheep from the eight banners, and reward the Han officials who surrendered in Yongping and Dalinghe:

Jianchang Ma General Soldier Niu Liu, Yang Bai;

Ma General Soldier Officers Niu 4, Donkey 2, Sheep 80;

Deputy generals Zu Kefa, Zu Zehong, Zu Zerun, Han Daxun, Zhang Cunren, General Wang Bingguan, Liu Deputy General's son, Cao Gongcheng, Pei Guozhen, etc., each have four oxen, two donkeys, and eighty sheep;

Li Yun, Deng Changchun, Chen Bangxuan, Xue Dahu, each with three oxen, two donkeys, and sixty sheep, and forty horses and twenty donkeys;

Zhang Hongmo has four cattle and 80 sheep, and Vice General Meng, Vice General Ding and Vice General Yang have 3 cattle and 60 sheep each. The above four members, because they stayed in Shenyang and did not join the levy, did not give donkeys, but only rewarded cattle and sheep to show fairness.

Furthermore, the ministers who have positions in the Shen are counted according to the records of the cattle under their jurisdiction, and each ox is rewarded with one sheep.

The Great Khan Xiao Yu Yongping and the Han officials of the Great Linghe, the two sides are contrasted, and they should know that I am sincere and kind to you.

After this distribution, the remaining cattle were less than five thousand, and the sheep and goats less than ten thousand.

At present, the Manchurian army in Kuku and Tun, including Aha, has reached 30,000 people. Abahai ordered that cattle and sheep should be distributed according to the number of armor soldiers and used as military rations. And the rest of the sheep will be boiled in broth and eaten.

The Eight Banners collected all the goods they had obtained in the place of the Great Khan. The Great Khan Abahai wanted to divide with the people, but it was not enough.

The number of treasures obtained from the statistics is: 317 wool green cloth, 13 python satin leather jackets, 22 sable gray squirrel skin jackets with trimming, 44 plain satin python satin gowns, 10 python satin, 1 green makeup satin, 2 cloud satin, 81 satin, 3 flower carpets, 2 green carpets, 1 red carpet, 7 mink hats, 1 red felt, 6 satin mattresses;

Nine leopard skins, three gray squirrel skins, fifty otter skins, seventy fox skins, sixteen sand fox skins, three hundred and eighty-one gray squirrel skins, four lynx skins, seventeen mink skins, one sea otter skin, twenty-one tanuki skins;

Eight gold bars, 1,600 taels of silver, two golden Buddhas in front of the hat, three gold flowers behind the hat, and a pair of gold earrings for men.

The Great Khan ordered that all the goods be distributed to the poor families in the banner.

Abahai Xiaoyu said to the whole army, although the capture this time was small, the morale must not be low.

Manchukuo also has the Mongol army of Azig and the right-wing army of Zilharang, and these two roads will inevitably be rich in capture, and the time will reward the soldiers.

As soon as the right-wing army arrived, the whole army would carry red-coated cannons to the south to loot the rich Ming Dynasty, which would definitely be worth the trip!
