"Dolgon killed himself!" Hearing the news, Cao Yue was excited, but also a little gloomy. In any case, Dolgon is a generation of heroes, a person who wrote a strong stroke in the original Chinese history in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is also an opponent that Cao Yue will never despise, even after the Ming army was equipped with a large number of firearms and severely damaged the Jiannu led by Dolgon several times, Cao Yue did not despise him.

Originally, Cao Yue thought that when he led his army to conquer Jiannu and conquered Shengjing, he would have another fight with Dolgon. When Dolgon was defeated once and for all, and he was taken prisoner, he would have met with him personally, had a good talk, and treated him accordingly.

To be honest, although Cao Yue hated Dorgon, he still admired his ability. It turns out that in history, Dolgon was able to develop the Manchu Qing Dynasty so strongly, enter the customs and gain a firm foothold, and finally occupy the whole of China, and Dolgon fully showed his majestic side. Such a person, even if he has committed a heinous crime, should be given the respect that a hero deserves.

It's just that I didn't expect that Dolgon would commit suicide after the defeat of the army, and he had the integrity of Emperor Chongzhen back then.

Cao Yue also instructed Cao Bianjiao to give Dolgon a generous burial, and not to humiliate his body and his family.

Azig, the half-brother of Dolgon, was also killed in the Battle of Shengjing, and Cao Yue also asked Cao Bianjiao to give him a funeral with corresponding treatment.

In addition to showing humanitarianism, Cao Yue also wanted to influence those Jiannu who were still resisting, including Duoduo. If you can influence them and let them surrender, then it will take a lot less effort to pacify the northeast.

Today's Cao Yue will no longer be reckless, although Jiannu has committed heinous crimes against the Han people, he does not want to repay in the same way. Today's Cao Yue. His mind has become very broad-minded, and what he is thinking about now is how to further expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty and conquer more nationalities and tribes. To conquer more peoples and tribes, in addition to guns, it is also necessary to use probation.

In layman's terms, it is a carrot and a stick, and conquest by force is a necessary means, but at the same time of conquest by force, some gentle means are applied. Then the success rate of conquest will be much greater. If the remnants of Jiannu can get out of the mountains and forests and give up the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, then the Northeast will soon be able to calm down. But if they resist to the end, the chaos in the Northeast will definitely last longer.

If this is the case, then the recovery of the large area of land outside the customs will definitely last for a long time, which Cao Yue does not want to see.

Therefore, he hoped that by burying Dolgon and Azig, he would be able to dissolve the fighting spirit of Jiannu.

The surrender of Bumu Butai and Fulin, Zhezhe and his public appeasement have greatly dissolved the fighting spirit of Jiannu. This can be seen from the time when the Ming army conquered outside the pass, and a very large number of Jiannu magnates chose to surrender. Their surrender did not mean surrender after defeat, but before the war began, or just at the beginning. Those who surrendered on their own initiative. These people knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not live long, and for the sake of their own future and the fate of their families, they chose to take this path, wanting to exchange their initiative for peace and wealth.

Cao Yue believed. Jiannu's fighting spirit will become weaker and weaker, and maybe Duoduo, who will lead the army to continue to resist one day, will also be beheaded by his own subordinates. Even if this does not happen. It is also a good thing to lure some of Duoduo's subordinates down.

When he broke through Shengjing, Cao Bianjiao also captured a lot of people, including many nobles who built slaves, and some Han people who surrendered to Jiannu. In the list that Cao Bianjiao reported to Cao Yue, there was a captive whose name aroused his interest, and this person was Fan Wencheng.

What kind of character Fan Wencheng is, Cao Yue naturally knows it. This is a traitor whose hands are stained with the blood of countless Han Chinese. Cao Yue knew that in history, Fan Wencheng was very trusted by Huang Taiji and Dolgon, and he was reused. History records that he served four Manchu emperors, and was the hand of the Manchu courtier, and most of the regulations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came from him.

Cao Yue hated the most is the traitor who betrayed the country to save the glory, he once issued a strict order, as long as there is a person who helps Jiannu to do things, he is willing to act as a traitor, he will be severely punished, and there will be no forgiveness for killing. Fan Wencheng was captured, and he could just use this person's head to reiterate the strict order again, warning the military and the people of the world not to act as traitors and work for foreign races at any time, otherwise the final outcome will be very miserable.

Cao Yue ordered Cao Bianjiao to escort Fan Wencheng to Nanjing, and he wanted to deal with this person personally. Although Cao Bianjiao could not understand why Cao Yue valued a captured vassal so much, he also readily sent someone to escort Fan Wencheng and his family to Nanjing.

After Fan Wencheng was escorted to Beijing, Cao Yue personally presided over an unprecedented public trial, and the captured Fan Wencheng and his family were escorted to the square in front of the imperial city for a public trial.

Fan Wencheng and his family, including his wife and concubine, children, and grandchildren, were all escorted to the public trial table. The official of the Criminal Department who presided over the public trial, after counting Fan Wencheng's crimes, announced that he would be sentenced to death and exterminate the nine clans.

After the public trial, Fan Wencheng, his wife, concubines, children, grandchildren, and followers were escorted into a prison van and toured around the city of Nanjing, where they were scolded and insulted by the soldiers and civilians of Nanjing.

In the end, Fan Wencheng was executed by Ling Chi, which is the legendary thousand cuts.

Fan Wencheng's sons: Fan Chengyin, Fan Chengmo, Fan Chengxun, Fan Chengbin, Fan Chenglie, Fan Chengzuo, because they helped their father do things, so that countless Han people died tragically under the Jiannu butcher's knife, and they also enjoyed the treatment of thousands of knives. His grandchildren: Fan Shichong, Fan Shiyi, Fan Shijie, Fan Shishou, and Fan Shiji were finally beheaded after witnessing the tragic end of their parents and grandparents.

At the same time as disposing of Fan Wencheng, Cao Yue also dealt with the surviving former Ming officials who first surrendered to the Liukou after the fall of Beijing, and then defected to Jiannu. These people who had no integrity were all beheaded, and their bodies were displayed in the public at the head of Nanjing.

Cao Yue also asked people to make the traitorous behavior of these traitors into a drama and sing it widely, wanting to spur the Ming army and people to maintain their bloody nature at all times, and must not bow to foreign captives, and must not betray the country to seek glory and betrayal, otherwise the end will be very miserable.

Cao Yue gave Dolgon and Azig a generous burial, but many people in the court did not understand such a severe treatment of Fan Wencheng, who became a traitor. It's just that no one dares to stand up and criticize Cao Yue's actions, after all, Cao Yue's treatment of Fan Wencheng like this is a very happy thing.

After Cao Yue disposed of Fan Wencheng and other traitors, he immediately proposed another thing, that is, to build martyrs' shrines and national memorial tombs in Nanjing and Beijing to bury and commemorate the martyrs who died in the war for the country.

The heroes who fought for the country will always be revered and remembered, and the traitors who betray the country for glory will always be spurned! (To be continued.) )
