At dawn, everything was settled, and the Ming army led by Cao Yue was in complete control of the situation.

After the war, more than 10,000 of them fled from the city, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people either died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Ming army or were burned to death by the raging fire.

More than 2,000 Jiannu teenagers, almost all of them have become unjust souls, and they will never have the opportunity to grow into brave and good warriors, and use the swords in their hands to demand the lives of the Ming people.

When the sun rose the next morning, the entire Shengjing City had become a purgatory on earth.

"Blood feud should be avenged with blood, let Jiannu always remember this disaster," Cao Yue said hatefully when he rode out of the palace full of energy, looking at the tragedy he had created. Compared with the disasters suffered by the Han people, the bad things he did in Shengjing this time are really insignificant. However, as a revolutionary soldier who grew up under the red flag of socialism, the massacre was really not an order that Cao Yue could ruthlessly order.

Women and children, as well as the old man, are innocent, this is what Cao Yue said to Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, Hai Lanzhu and others last night, of course, this is a lie on the scene. He ordered all the old people, as well as women, children, and adult women, to be spared, but to destroy all their homes, and to rob or destroy all their belongings. If you can't take it away, you must destroy it, otherwise the property left behind will become a war knife cut at the head of the Han people, Cao Yue wants to make the Manchu vitality greatly injured, and the emperor Taiji will be half dead.

Inside the palace, the fire was still burning, and the prince's Baylor mansion on both sides of the palace also continued to burn, and the thick black smoke soared up, which could be clearly seen dozens of miles away. There were also explosions in the city from time to time, and there were dozens of red-coated cannons in Shengjing City, as well as countless ammunition, except for the one department that he could take away, everything else had to be destroyed.

The red-clothed cannon was blown up, and the buildings and gates in Shengjing City were all blown up, and Cao Yue was ready to leave a piece of ruins to Huang Taiji. Cao Yue originally wanted to kill Dai Shan, but in the end he decided to spare his life and prepared to bring his people back to Songshan or Bei*jing to be sacrificed as trophies.

After dawn, the action of collecting treasures continued, Cao Yue listened to the opinions of Cao Jie and others, and prepared to find a place to bury the property that could not be taken away, so that not only could he plunder the property of Jiannu, but also left a way back for himself, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he could come and take these property again, which was a large amount of property, at least the wealth of the Ming Dynasty for several years.

Cao Yue also strictly ordered that the sergeants were not allowed to bring a lot of property privately, and he set a limit. If you bring too much property, it is inconvenient to move on the road, and you are caught up by the Jiannu Iron Horse, then it will be troublesome, after all, Liaodong is now the territory of Jiannu.

The women of Huang Taiji, including Empress Zhezhe, Bumu Butai, Hai Lanzhu, Namu Zhong and others have been driven out of the palace, and the palace has almost all been destroyed, making it difficult to live in them, Cao Yue did not kill them, and asked them to find a place to live outside the city.

The military camp that was originally set up outside the city was enough for them to live in.

Cao Jie is really Cao Yue's right-hand man, and in a day and a night, he buried all the belongings he got in a secret place. The other Ming sergeants continued to destroy Shengjing City, hunting down the escaped Jiannu men and preparing to evacuate.

Cao Yue decided that early tomorrow morning, he would evacuate Shengjing and seek an opportunity to return to Songshan or Guannei.

Cao Yue also wrote a letter to Huang Taiji, telling Huang Taiji in detail what he had done in Shengjing City.

At night, Cao Yue stayed alone with Bumu Butai, and he said to Bumu Butai with a cold face: "Even if you don't believe it, I still have to tell you that you Manchus are hostile to our Han people, and it will definitely be us Han people who will win in the end." More than 100,000 Manchurians, vainly trying to conquer nearly 200 million Han Chinese, you are really daydreaming. ”

"Your husband, Emperor Taiji, his time is running out, maybe this year will be his death, after his death, your son Fulin may be the only one who can ascend to the throne of Khan, and your influence among the Manchus will grow day by day. Today I spare the lives of your mother and son, and return your son a complete body, I just hope that you can recognize the situation clearly and stop being the enemy of my Ming Dynasty, so that you Manchu may be able to keep it, otherwise your entire clan will disappear into the dust of history and cease to exist. You think about it, think about it, and send someone to contact me. ”

The experience of the past few days, Bu Mu Butai, who doesn't know what mentality to use, looked at this man who was destined to be unforgettable in her life with complicated eyes, and finally just lowered her head blankly, not knowing what to say.

There is a little Bumu Butai who is very worried, I don't know if his aunt Zhezhe and other sisters will hate her, and if Huang Taiji will be angry with her after returning to Beijing. Because in the past two days, she has done a lot of things according to Cao Yue's instructions, and she told Cao Yue many things related to the secrets of the Qing Dynasty. Because her son's life was all in Cao Yue's hands, she had no choice.

Of course, Cao Yue also gave her special feelings, she didn't know what "feelings" she should have for this man, whether it was hatred, disgust, or something else. When she stayed alone with Cao Yue for a long time, dragging her tired body back to the tent in the middle of the night to sleep with Fu Lin, she couldn't sleep at all, and all she heard in her ears were these warning and threatening words that Cao Yue said at the end.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Songshan front, Manchu battalion.

Huang Taiji was convening his ministers in his big tent.

Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Su Wang Haoge, Prince Yu Duoduo, Wuying County King Azig, Rao Yu Belle Abatai and other clans and Dahai, Ganglin, Xifu, Sony and other Manchu Qing important ministers were all outside the list, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Li Yongfang, Tong Yangxing, Zhang Cunren and other Ming Dynasty ministers were also in the tent.

Huang Taiji's health is not good, he has been coughing up blood for the past few days, and his face looks very bad. The situation in the past few days, as well as the news from Shengjing, made him worried, and he couldn't eat well.

The news from Sheng Jing said that the favorite concubine Hai Lanzhu was in poor health, and it seemed that time was incomparable. Huang Taiji, who loves Hai Lanzhu very much, can't wait to fly back to Shengjing immediately and accompany Hai Lanzhu. However, the situation on the Matsuyama front was not optimistic, and he could not make up his mind to go back.

Because the Ming army fled without a fight, the Qing army finally won a complete victory, but the price paid was very large.

The positive blue flag led by Haoge almost suffered a catastrophe, Haoge himself was injured, and the two yellow flags also suffered heavy losses, which were difficult for Huang Taiji to accept. Also, although the Ming army was defeated, Hong Chengchou in Songshan City and Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City were still resisting stubbornly.

What's worse is that the defense in Songshan City is very stable, and the musket team on the head of the city gives the Qing army who is besieging the city very great lethality, and the Ming army has attacked the city for two consecutive days after escaping, and the Qing army has suffered heavy losses.

Huang Taiji had no choice but to postpone the siege and continue to adopt siege tactics, wanting to consume the morale of the Guangming Army and trap the Ming army defending the city. However, after the Ming army won several battles, the morale of the Ming army did not decrease, but rose.

In the middle of the night last night, Cao Bianjiao led the army out of the city to sneak attack, although the Qing army was fully prepared, but still suffered huge losses, and the Ming army retreated to the city under the cover of the musket team.

In this war, which lasted for almost two years, the Jurchen Eight Banners had lost nearly 20,000 bannermen, and such a huge loss was completely unbearable for Huang Taiji.

The losses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia are even greater, although the losses of the Qing army are less than those of the Ming army, but the war mobilization capacity of the Ming Dynasty is not known to be several times that of the Qing Dynasty, and the loss of tens of thousands of people is nothing to the Ming Dynasty with a total population of hundreds of millions, but the casualties of tens of thousands of bannermen are almost a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty.

Suffering such heavy losses, Songshan City and Jinzhou City were still firmly controlled by the Ming army, and Huang Taiji was certainly not willing to give up. But these two cities were not defeated for a day, and this decisive battle, which lasted for more than a year, could not be ended.

Before the war ended, the military consumption was very large, and now it is a disaster year, and the heavy burden is not something that the Qing Dynasty can bear.

Fortunately, when the Ming army fled, they left behind a large amount of grain and grass, and the grain on Bijia Mountain was enough for the Qing army to use for a long time.

But Huang Taiji, who was worried about Hai Lanzhu's condition, still hoped that the war would end as soon as possible, and he felt a little like an arrow.

The rumors in front of the emperor began, and the ministers under Huang Taiji: "Has the letter of persuasion written by my relatives entered Songshan Castle?" ”

Duoduo, who was in charge of this matter, said: "Before returning to the emperor, I had already shot into the city yesterday. ”

"Does Hong Chengchou have a response?"

Duoduo didn't answer, and the bachelor on the side, Ganglin, hesitated and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, there is, but there is ......."

Huang Taiji impatiently interrupted Gang Lin's words: "The letter is here!"

After reading the letter presented by Ganglin, Huang Taiji's face was pale, Hong Chengchou scolded the people for nothing in the letter, and scolded Huang Taiji for a bloody head, and Huang Taiji, who was in a bad mood, was angry and threw the letter far away.

Dolgon didn't know Chinese characters, so he hurriedly asked Ganglin on the side, what was said in the letter, Ganglin was helpless, so he had to say it briefly.

"How can it be!" Dolgon was furious, "Hong Chengchou dares to insult our ancestors like this, and his brother will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces." ”

Prince Su Haoge also knew the content of the letter, his face was flushed with anger, and he had a rare hatred with Dolgon: "Huang Ama, Hong Chengchou insulted my Jurchen ancestor with his disrespectful words, and when his sons captured him, he will be extremely humiliated, and then he will be cut with a thousand knives." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent, and everyone who was angrily denouncing Hong Chengchou stopped.

"What happened?" Huang Taiji's face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, go and take a look," after bowing to Jingao with a yellow flag, he threw the tent out.

Soon, Ao Bai returned to the tent, with an anxious look, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Shengjing is eight hundred miles away!"

"What?" Huang Taiji was startled, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "What happened in Shengjing, tell me quickly!"

"The Ming army attacked Shengjing, Shengjing is in danger!"

"What?" Not only Huang Taiji, but everyone else was frightened!
