Chapter 13: The Posture of the Victor

Thank you for the tipping of the Tiger Group Army and Fatty Fish! ---------

"This general is Cao Yue, the deputy general of the Cao General Army of the Ming Dynasty Eastern Cooperation Army, that day it was the general and Cao Zongbing who led the army into the camp of Huang Taiji, and almost ended his old nest, Huang Taiji did not learn a lesson, did not strengthen Shengjing's defense, then the general was not polite, this time completely copied his lair, haha," Cao Yue jumped off the horse and walked in front of Dai Shan step by step, "Back then, my father had defeated Huang Taiji and you Dai Shan under the city of Beijing, and now I am better than him, even the capital of your Jiannu, haha!"

Cao Yue said, unexpectedly raised the war knife in his hand and slashed at Dai Shan's right arm.

With a scream of "Ah......", Daishan's right arm was slashed, and blood flowed. Fortunately, Cao Yue didn't make a heavy hand, otherwise Dai Shan's right arm would have been wasted. The soldiers around Dai Shan wanted to rush forward to save them, but the arrows in the hands of several soldiers around Cao Yue knocked them to the ground, and no one dared to act rashly.

Dai Shan, who had been cut off his left arm, was shocked and angry, and he cried out with a dead face, "You...... Are you Cao Wenzhao's son? ”

Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, Dai Shan, the most heroic and warlike person, knows that the generals surnamed Cao who have defeated the Qing army are only Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao. Cao Bianjiao is still young, and the person in front of him, who calls himself Cao Yue, should be Cao Wenzhao's son. In the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji surrounded Bei*Beijing, and Cao Wenzhao followed Yuan Chonghuan into the king of Guanqin and made great achievements. In the following years, Cao Wenzhao defeated the Manchu army several times, and made many meritorious contributions in the battle against the Guannei civil uprising, and was well known to the Manchus.

"Yes, you still remember my father," Cao Yue looked at Dai Shan with a distorted face with a proud face, and then looked at the women and children who were hugging each other and were terrified, the sense of pride could not be described in words, but he did not forget the most important thing, and immediately gave the order, "Dai Shan, you immediately send someone to send an order inside and outside the city, and let all your subordinates lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”

Seeing Cao Yue's eyes fall on the women and children behind him, Dai Shan finally chose to compromise, leaving only one of the few personal soldiers left by his side, "Wu Qi, you immediately go and give orders to all the gates, put down your weapons, and stop resisting." ”

Huang Taiji's women and children were all in Cao Yue's hands, and he himself was a prisoner, and Dai Shan had no other choice.

The few remaining soldiers around Daishan were all wounded, as was the soldier named Wuqi. After hearing Daizen's order, Uchi protested a few words, and finally reluctantly went.

At this time, the battle outside the palace was raging.

According to Cao Yue's orders, Zhao Liang led more than 400 Ming troops to defend the Daqing Gate, and Cao Qian led more than 200 families to guard the south gate of Shengjing. Both of these places were fiercely attacked by the Qing army. Of course, the attack on the Great Qing Gate was far more fierce than that of the South Gate.

The imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty was attacked by the Ming army, and the Qing troops inside and outside the city all fought back like crazy.

Zhao Liang is an outstanding figure in the Cao army, following Cao Wenzhao for many years, in the battle of Songshan, he also fully appreciated the power of musket segmented shooting, so when he held the Great Qing Gate, he used the advantage of the city height to meet the attacking Qing army very easily. In the rows of musket fire, the Qing troops who attacked like a life fell outside the Qing Gate.

Most of the more than 1,000 bannermen with two yellow flags in the two barracks in the city were wiped out in the camp, and most of the remaining more than 2,000 Qing soldiers fell in the battle to recapture the Daqing Gate and the South Gate.

Dai Shan's orders were not effectively implemented, and the red-eyed Qing army was already in chaos, and many people rushed to kill desperately. Dai Shan's order caused even more confusion, and one part of the Qing army stopped resisting, while the other part continued to charge.

Although some of the muskets of the Ming army, which had ample ammunition, failed due to continuous firing, the tall city walls and the good quality of the sergeants made up for this shortcoming, and the battle between the two sides eventually turned into a one-sided massacre.

------------

"General Cao, as long as you leave here, this king is willing to give all the wealth in the city," the treacherous Dai Shan began to negotiate terms with Cao Yue after calming down. "This king is willing to follow you."

Except for the people around him who can't be harmed, he can give anything else, even his own life.

"Your wealth, originally my Daming, was stolen from my Daming, naturally everything has to be returned, as for your life, it also belongs to the general now, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with the general," Cao Yue disdained Daishan's proposal.

"That'...... You...... What are you doing? A sense of foreboding rose in Dai Shan's heart.

"Daishan, let me tell you, what you have done to the Ming army and civilians before, I will return it to you twice as much today!" Cao Yue was too lazy to talk to Dai Shan anymore, he ordered the family to tie up Dai Shan and several adult men around him, and then beheaded several of Dai Shan's personal soldiers in public, and the women and children who were his prisoners again were all taken into custody.

Originally, Cao Yue planned that after entering Shengjing City, he would kill all the people, whether women or children, but after watching a large group of helpless crying women and children huddled together, with a trembling look, his murderous spirit faded unconsciously.

He is not a beast, he can't do the same inhuman thing as the Manchu Jiannu, whether men, women, old or young.

However, he will not be too merciful, these Huang Taiji women and children fall into his hands, and he will definitely "deal with" them well. Of course, Cao Yue had to see the progress of the battle before deciding what to do with these women and children, if the battle in the city was not good, or the Qing army brigade returned to Shengjing, then he would take these women and children hostage, or even kill them all, and then abandon the city and flee.

Dai Shan, along with the women and children, were all imprisoned in the Chongzheng Palace, where he personally took a hundred families to guard them, while the rest of the men continued to clear the Manchu palace of the remaining resistance.

When arranging these and driving those women and children to the Chongzheng Palace, Cao Yue received a report that our army had completely controlled the situation in Shengjing, most of the Qing army had been annihilated, and our casualties were less than 100 cavalry.

Cao Yue was overjoyed by such a brilliant achievement, and he immediately ordered to continue to hunt down the remaining Jiannu men, and collect firearms and various ammunition in the city, as well as food, property, and horses, and prepare to retreat at any time.

The situation was under control, and Cao Yue's hanging heart finally relaxed. Thanks to Huang Taiji's all-out attack on Songshan and Jinzhou, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of, it was time for him to humiliate Huang Taiji and Jiannu.

Sitting on the dragon chair in the Chongzheng Palace, looking at the captives in the first hall, Cao Yue didn't know how to describe the sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He ordered the men and women in the captives to be separated, and Daishan to identify them.

At this time, Cao Jie came to report that his men and horses had killed Huang Taiji's fifth son, Shuosai, in the chaos.

Hearing this, Cao Yue sneered and ordered several children among the captives to be pulled out and beheaded. He knew that the boy who could live in the palace could only be the son of Huang Taiji, and he would cut the grass to eradicate the roots, and of course he would not leave Huang Taiji's son.

Huang Taiji's eldest son Hao Ge led the army to fight in Songshan, the second son Luoge, the third son Luo Bo and the eighth son Youyou, the fourth son Ye Bushu followed Huang Taiji in Songshan, and the fifth son Shuo Sai did not follow the expedition because he was only thirteen years old, and stayed in Shengjing to lead the two Yellow Banner Scouts, but died in the chaos. Those who remained in the palace were the youngest six sons Gao Sai, seven sons Chang Shu, nine sons Fulin, ten sons Tao Sai, and eleventh sons Bomu Bogol, and Gao Sai, Chang Shu, Fu Lin, Tao Sai, and Bo Mu Bogol were all taken prisoner by Cao Yue.

Without any mercy, Cao Yue ordered the sergeant to pull these people out and cut off their heads, and there was a cry in the hall, when the mother desperately protected her child, one of the women was particularly crazy, and she was desperately protecting the young children around her, and the other men were pulled away, she was still fiercely resisting.

Seeing this woman, Cao Yue frowned and thought for a while, strode in front of the mother and son, and then turned his head sideways and asked Dai Shan, who hurriedly followed: "Who is she?" ”

Dai Shan didn't dare to speak, so he could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy vigorously, asking Cao Yue to let these people go.

At this time, a dignified-looking woman rushed to the front, knelt down and begged Cao Yue for mercy: "General, save you and let them go, I am the queen of the Qing Dynasty, something is coming at me, please let them go, you kill me." ”

"The Empress of the Emperor?" Cao Yue didn't hear much about the queen of Huang Taiji, and he never watched the Qing palace drama in later generations, and he was also not interested in the Qing wear stories that later generations talked about, and among the women of Huang Taiji, he knew that he was later named the queen of Xiaozhuang, the woman named Da Yuer, and the sister of Xiaozhuang, it is said that she was born with charming bones, and her kung fu is very good in that regard, and she can make men want to die of Hai Lanzhu.

The woman who called herself the queen stood up and knelt down and begged him for mercy, but he was stunned. At this time, the woman who was desperately protecting the little boy just now also knelt down in front of Cao Yue, and after saying a word to the woman who claimed to be the queen, she begged Cao Yue for mercy in Chinese, "General, let them go, we are willing to bear any punishment, don't kill them, they are still children." ”

At this time, all the other women also knelt down, crying and begging for mercy.

"They are children, but in a few years, they will be the executioners who slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty," Cao Yue's tone was very cold, looking at the two women who could be described as beautiful while kneeling in front of him, "The more than two million Han people in Liaodong have all been killed by your Manchurians, and there are thousands of women and children among them, have you ever thought about how you feel today when you killed them?" ”

No one answered, and the woman's crying stopped, only some suppressed sobbing.

Seeing that no one answered, Cao Yue didn't bother to say anything indignant, walked up to Zhezhe, naturally reached out and lifted her chin, and asked lightly: "You are the queen of Huang Taiji?" ”

Zhezhe nodded slightly, lowered his eyes, and didn't dare to look at Cao Yue.

"The queen of Huang Taiji is not very good-looking, what kind of vision," Cao Yue muttered.

Zhezhe is actually quite good, but he is older, a woman in her forties, no matter how beautiful she is when she is young, she is already a broken flower, but her figure is still quite good, and she looks like a choppy wave.

Zhezhe didn't expect Cao Yue to say this, and was stunned for a moment, at this time Cao Yue had already let go of her, walked to the other side, and also reached out to lift the other woman kneeling beside Zhezhe, "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... I...... I am Daqing Yongfu Palace Zhuang Concubine Bumu Butai!"

"Oh?" Cao Yue's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai, nicknamed Da Yu'er?" ”
