Chapter 709: After the War (Part II)

"The era of the Jurchens in Jianzhou is over. You'll have to do some more preparatory work after I'm gone. When I come back next time, we will go to Shenyang together and drive the Jianzhou Jurchens back to the deep mountains and old forests to hunt. With Gao Yang's eyesight, he naturally saw the uneasiness in Wu Sangui's heart. He didn't break it, just talked about his plan with a chuckle, and reached out and patted Wu Sangui's shoulder to show encouragement.

Gao Yang didn't want to go all the way to Huanglong, so he took the power of the big victory and killed all the way to Shenyang, completely killing the nest of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Part of the reason why he chose to return to Guannai after defeating the main force of the Manchu Qing was the long way north to Shenyang. And at this moment, the Manchu army has been reduced to a frightened bird. If you press it too hard, you may be forced to abandon Shenyang and scatter around, and completely become a rogue.

Gao Yang didn't have the time and mood to play guerrilla warfare with these hunters between the white mountains and black waters of the vast land. Gao Yang chose to give the Jianyu time to breathe. Let them restore their confidence, let them gather all the scattered forces by themselves, and let them be reluctant to give up Shenyang. Wait until the next time you go out of the customs, you can solve the last strength of the Jianyu in Shenyang at one time. Once and for all, even if there are still some small fish and shrimp at that time, it will no longer be a climate.

In addition to this main reason, there is another reason that Li Zicheng, who has been waiting for an opportunity, confirmed that Gao Yang's army has been out of the customs. Once again, he personally led the army to attack from the front line of Xuanda, surging in the direction of the Beijing Division.

People who want to do great things, people who want to control the world, it is impossible to choose to give up the pace of moving forward just because they encounter resistance. The last time the army entered Beijing, it was inexplicably driven away by Gao Yang, who jumped out of nowhere.

Although Li Zicheng has not been able to figure out what is going on, he can't stop if he wants to become a person in the world and continue to move forward with the Dashun Dynasty. He's just afraid of Gao Yang, who can't fully understand. The spies reported that Gao Yang had led the army out of the customs to fight with the Jurchens. Li Zicheng immediately seized the opportunity and rushed towards Jingshi quickly. He wanted to get things done before Gao Yang came back.

Li Zicheng's movements have always been monitored by Gao Yang. Even when he could go to where Gao Yang was clear.

Now the Manchu army, which posed the greatest threat to the Ming Empire, has been crushed. Having lost the powerful army that they relied on for their livelihood, the Jianzhou Jurchens were already exposed in front of Gao Yang like girls whose clothes had been torn off. As long as Gao Yang wants to, he can easily take it anytime and anywhere. It's just not time yet.

Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows to look at Wu Sangui. He chuckled and said, "Don't rush, take your time." By the time the army leaves the customs next time, all the things outside the customs can be resolved. ”

"The last will understand." Wu Sangui hurriedly saluted. He's not stupid, once the captives are gone, what else do you want Guan Ningjun to do? What will they do then? What is the way out for the Guanning Army, which is almost in a semi-divided state? It's just that this kind of thing can't be said now, and it can't be said in front of Gao Yang. Even if Gao Yang's heart is like a mirror, he will not break it at this time.

At this moment, the sound of the guards reporting came from outside the military tent. It turned out that Wu Xiang and Gao Di had already rushed over in the starry night.

Wu Xiang and Gao Di, who had been following dozens of miles behind Gaoyang's new army. After receiving that Gao Yang led his army and horses had defeated the main force of the Manchu Qing that came to block it in the daytime battle, and repeatedly confirmed. Shocked, he immediately left behind the brigade of soldiers. With the guards, they galloped all the way. Since I haven't been able to deliver charcoal in the snow before, the icing on the cake after the fact can't be missed.

Wu Sangui's father and son haven't seen each other for so long, and it is naturally embarrassing to suddenly get together. After talking to Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang and Gao Di were a sycophant shot at Gao Yang. What kind of compliments that make people blush and heartbeat can be spoken. There is no such thing as a lower limit at all. What world-famous martial arts, what is famous through the ages, and what is brilliant in the annals of history. Even Gao Yang, who has experienced a hundred battles, is about to get goosebumps when he hears it.

It was not easy to appease the two who were so emotional that they were a little crazy. When he got the news that Wu Xiang and Gao Di were coming, he was too excited, and Wang Chengen, who had been making trouble and hadn't slept yet, ran over and pulled a few people to drink. On this night, the laughter and laughter of the entire Ming army camp resounded throughout the four fields, and the noisy and lively atmosphere lasted until dawn.

And the Manchu captives who were imprisoned looked desperately at the Ming soldiers who had begun to become crazy. They knew that with the Ming Court's consistent style, their fate would inevitably be very miserable. After being decapitated, passing the head to the Nine Sides is the most common way to deal with it. As for those Jurchen nobles, there is a great possibility of being Lingchi! And it will be sacrificed to the temple!

These Manchu prisoners of war lamented their bleak fate. I didn't think about how they treated those Ming prisoners of war and ordinary Ming people when they won victories in the past. Their wanton ferocity is no more than vicious and the locust armies of later generations.

When the sky is getting brighter. The dragoons and the night guards who had traveled far to pursue the Manchu rout army came back one after another. Although their bodies are full of wind and dust, their complexions are better than one another. This large-scale pursuit was very rewarding!

Not much to say about the beheading, there are at least thousands of Manchu defeated soldiers who were captured alive! This was something that would have been unimaginable in the past. The main reason is that the military spirit of the Manchu army was scattered. I ran blindly in the black light for so long, and I was surrounded by hunger and thirst. I couldn't figure it out and committed suicide. Those who were desperate and collapsed, and those who wanted to live a little longer surrendered.

Among these captives were many of the most famous figures in later generations. Including a number of Manchu nobles, Mongolian nobles. There are also 'famous' people such as Shang Kexi and Kong Youde. Among them, the highest status is Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge.

This Manchu Qing Blue Flag owner was also unlucky. Originally, he led people to prepare to find Dolgon's bad luck, but he was disturbed by the dragoons and Wu Sangui. It was dark and unclear, and there were shouts of fighting everywhere. The figure swayed. The torches are dim. The groves everywhere also made Hauge dizzy in the darkness of the night.

Haug burrowed into the woods during a melee with the dragoons. The black lights blinded him to the direction, and as he rushed out of the woods, he crashed into a line of dragoons. Although his Bayala guards desperately guarded, trying to escort Haug to break out of the siege. But how can it be so easy for you to get out of the siege?

Not to mention. The dragoons had seen Haug's banner by the light of flashlights and torches. Where would such a big fish be easily let go. Under the 'bang' of muskets, the Bayala Protector around Hauge quickly decreased. By the time Hauge realized that the Ming army wanted to capture him alive, it was too late to kill himself in a hurry. Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hauge, the prince of Daqing and Shuosu, became a prisoner. The fate that awaited him must have been very bleak. Emperor Chongzhen really has a deep hatred for Jianyu! If it falls into his hands, it will definitely not end well.

Except for Hauge. The names of many Han army generals also made Gao Yang sigh that feng shui took turns. Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Zu Dashou! These are alive. Geng Zhongming commanded the artillery of the Tianyou Army to advance during yesterday's battle, and was hit by a shell when he tried to bring the Ming position into range. The whole person was almost shattered. It was only the identification of those captured Tianyou soldiers that confirmed that Geng Zhongming was dead.

In addition, there is a famous general, Hong Chengchou. He didn't die in battle, nor was he captured alive in the chaos of last night. After the Manchu army was dispersed, he followed Dolgon all the way to the outside of Ningyuan. When Wu Sangui sent troops to raid and cooperated with the dragoons to completely defeat the Manchu army. Hong Chengchou failed to break through. After discovering that there were Ming troops on all sides and there was no way to escape. In desperation, he thought that once he was caught, he would be imprisoned in the city, and he would be ashamed of his family. After looking up to the sky and sighing in regret, he committed suicide.

Other people can say that when Wu Sangui and others saw Zu Dashou, who was tied up by five flowers and dragged back by a war horse with a rope all the way. It's going to be urgent on the spot. He stepped forward to argue with the dragoons and tried to regain Zu Dashou. Of course, the dragoons didn't do it, they didn't recognize Wu Sangui and these generals. The two sides were so emotional that they almost fought.

It wasn't until Gao Yang received the news and rushed over that the emotional Wu family father and son stopped making noise with resentment. This is also in the New Army. If it had been changed to another army, with the temper of the Wu family's father and son and the consistent domineering of the Guan Ning army, they would have already fought a lot. It's just that in the face of the new army who picked up the muskets in their hands, the only remaining reason of the Wu family's father and son told them not to act rashly. That national teacher is not a good person! When the time came, others did not rescue them, but put themselves in.

"What do you want?" After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Gao Yang turned sideways and looked at Wu Sangui and his son. The expression on his face was unwavering, and he asked indifferently.

"Words from the Chinese teacher." Wu Sangui, who had a flexible mind, could feel the chill in Gao Yang's tone that was not sad or happy on the surface! Hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said cautiously, "After receiving the news that the Jianyu was scattered and assembled outside Ningyuan City, the last general sent troops to flank the attack. This news was passed on by General Zu to the last general. General Zu has made meritorious contributions! ”

Wu Sangui is very smart, he knows that if he just talks about his relationship with Zu Dashou, it will definitely make Gao Yang disgusted, and it can only be counterproductive. He simply said that Zu Dashou spread the enemy's situation and made a contribution. Trying to get forgiveness in exchange for this.

Sure enough, I heard Wu Sangui say this. Gao Yang's complexion immediately softened slightly. No longer with a look of obvious dissatisfaction. Wu Sangui could feel it, at least now the atmosphere was not so depressing as it had just now. (To be continued.) )
