Chapter 200: Sophistry

The so-called killing of good people and taking advantage of merit refers to the killing of good people to pretend to be the enemy (in ancient times, the number of heads was to invite war merits) and to take the war merit.

In ancient times, when you were a soldier in a war, the criteria for meritorious service awards were very simple, generally speaking, the more enemies you cut, the greater the credit. During the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers reported their merits, and they had to carry a string of heads to register, if it was a man's head, each one would be credited once, and two taels to ten taels of silver would be rewarded; If it is a woman's head, it will not be credited, and no money will be rewarded.

This was a positive incentive in the Ming Dynasty to encourage soldiers to kill more enemies, and only kill enemy men, because men are certainly quasi-warriors if they are not warriors. But in the specific implementation process, positive incentives have become negative incentives, and those who are soldiers are very happy to kill women, but they are not interested in killing men. There are two reasons: first, the cost of killing a man is too high, and it is easy to pay the price of life, and women are better to kill than men; Secondly, a woman's head can be passed off as a man's head, and it is not complicated to impersonate, you only need to glue a beard to those heads, or chop off the part below the throat, and then peel off the face.

In this way, it is easy to receive the silver bounty, and this kind of thing has long become an important source of money for the Ming Dynasty after hundreds of years of evolution.

Of course, there is no impermeable wall in the matter, and the bad behavior of the Ming Dynasty soldiers has long been obtained by the Mongols and Manchurians, which is also an important reason for them to laugh at the Ming Dynasty. However, today, the consternation in the hearts of these Qing soldiers can be imagined when they find that their boss is about to start killing like the enemy they laughed at in the past.

Muduka pretended to be bold and asked, "My lord, can we do this?" ”

Etuozhen also said to the side: "Yes, my lord, if you let Erbeile know, none of us will survive." ”

After listening to the words of these two people, everyone turned their eyes to Habato, and felt that the words of these two people were very reasonable. Some people say that since it is so easy to fake, it is too easy to make money, although it is not long to catch a few women and come back to cut off their heads? In fact, although in ancient times, both men and women had long hair, and the flesh and blood of the severed heads were blurred, rotten and stinky, even if they were not impersonated, it was difficult to distinguish between men and women, let alone after technical treatment? Rest assured, the imperial court has a way. Those who repay the merit will lift the head of the person and throw this bloody and fleshy human head into the water in front of the officials of the military department, and the head will float to the surface, and the back of the head will be genuine, and the back of the head will be fake.

Although this method cannot be explained by scientific reasoning, it was used by people in ancient times to test the authenticity of their military exploits. Of course, there are other methods such as scalp examination, tooth examination and other methods to check whether the human head is real or fake, so I will not describe them one by one here.

But even with so many detection methods, the killing of soldiers is still endless, and the means of forging heads are becoming more and more sophisticated, and they have to fight with the counterfeiters of later generations.

No, Guharto, who has always been known for his bravery, also thought of this method in order to survive, from despising counterfeiters to personally planning and launching fraud, how easy it is to switch roles here.

I saw Guharto snort coldly: "Do you think I am willing to use this method to escape and reduce the guilt? Do you know what awaits us if we return empty-handed. If it's lighter, it's a slave to the armorer, and if it's heavy, it's the end of the head, don't think that Erbeile will only kill me, if something happens to me, none of you can escape! ”

Gu Hato's cold words shook the hearts of the hundreds of surviving Qing soldiers, this possible surname is really too high, so high that no one can afford it.

As soon as some of the Qing soldiers turned around, they slashed the head of the newly captured North Korean woman next to them

It may be that this kind of thing is a self-taught skill for those who are soldiers, and these Qing soldiers are no worse than the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty after referring to each other for a while. For example, they will "accidentally" cut off the eyed ears and Adam's apples that may expose the target, and chop up the faces of the heads in order to make them more realistic, etc., through these means, the Qing soldiers quickly classified the heads of more than 230 women and nearly 300 men, tied a knot and hung them around their waists, and under the leadership of Guharto, they beat their horses and galloped towards the distance of Namhansanseong.

At this time, under the Namhansan Castle, from the sky, countless dense soldiers have surrounded the three walls of the Namhansan Fortress except for the southern wall, and countless soldiers are climbing along the ladder, and there are thousands of archers standing under the city wall, who are bending their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall also desperately fought back with bows and arrows, rocks and rolling logs, etc., and the battle was very fierce.

Two miles away from the city wall, there is a group of people standing quietly, this line of people is holding a black python in the big box, under this big line stands a man about forty years old, with a face of horizontal flesh, it looks like a fierce man, this man is wearing a set of very delicate black armor, two small eyes from time to time shoot a fierce gaze, people become frightened at first sight, this person is known as one of the four great Baylors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Erbeile Amin.

Amin is the second son of Shuerhaqi, the younger brother of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, who is fierce and cruel, relying on his identity to run rampant and domineering, and no one cares about him. During the war, he often plundered the army, and he did not do much to slaughter the city, and he was one of the most notorious princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The expulsion of the Manchu envoys from the whole of Korea made the Manchus very angry, so Huang Taiji specially sent this vicious dog known for his ferocity to teach the DPRK a lesson.

Today is the 43rd day since the Qing soldiers surrounded Namhansanseong, and during this period, Amin was unhurriedly exerting pressure on Namhansanseong, while cutting down trees to make siege tools and making preparations for the siege.

Although the Qing soldiers were not very good at attacking the city, but after dealing with the Ming army for so many years, the experience of attacking the city can be regarded as practiced, and what rushing cars, ladders, and shield cars came in handy.

Looking at the crumbling city wall, Amin was very proud in his heart, and said to Bel Shuoto, who had been standing beside him: "Shuoto, do you estimate that we will have a few more hours to take this small city and capture alive the Korean lord and their civil and military officials?" ”

Shuo Tuo replied respectfully, "Back to Erbeyler, my nephew estimates that it should be able to capture it in three hours, and if you send two more Jiala's troops to surround the south gate, it is estimated that the city can be broken in two hours." ”

Amin shook his head, "No, you can see that the resistance of the Korean soldiers on the city wall at this time is not fierce, that's because we left them a way to live." However, if we surround the South Gate, then the Korean subjects trapped inside will inevitably resist to the death, and even if we can capture the South Korean mountain fortress, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. This would be contrary to our original intentions. ”

Shuo Tuo looked admiring, and said respectfully: "What Er Belle said is extremely true, this point is that my nephew has not thought it through. ”

Amin smiled proudly: "That is, although those Han people are cowardly and incompetent, there is still some truth in the books they wrote, such as the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very good, this method of encircling three queyi is the method of siege that has been mentioned many times in the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Erbeile's method is high, it's really high!" Shuoto gave Amin a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

"Hahaha," Amin laughed out loud with joy in his heart.

Just when Amin was complacent, a Goshha walked up to Amin and whispered a few words in Amin's ear.

Shuoto, who was closest to Amin, immediately noticed that Amin's face suddenly sank, and he scolded fiercely: "Bring those minions to me!" ”

Soon, more than a dozen vest soldiers led several Qing officers in disarray, and then threw them to the ground.

"Bump"

Several people ate mouthfuls of dirt at the same time.

One of them raised his head, and it was Guharto, who had ordered his subordinates to prepare to kill the good and take the lead.

At this time, Guharto had long since lost the high-spirited look he had when he first got up today, and his originally fierce face was full of panic. I saw him fall to the ground and cry loudly: "Master, the Ming army is coming, and the minions have lost Incheon!" ”

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, a leather whip was whipped into Guharto's face, and a blood-red mark quickly bulged out on Guharto's originally fleshy face, followed by Amin's roaring voice.

"You damn minion, you say, how did you get rid of Incheon that I gave you? Say it quickly, or I'll peel your skin and light a sky lantern today!" ”

Frightened, Guharto lay on the ground and shouted: "Erbel, the slave has something to say, after you listen to the minion's words, you want to kill or chop the whole screen, you are the master, the slave has no words!" ”

Amin's face turned red, and he pointed at Guharto with a horsewhip and said, "Okay, I want to see what tricks you can say, if you can't say it, don't blame me for not thinking about the master-servant relationship for many years." ”

"Master, there is a reason why the minions lost Inchon today, this morning the Ming army sent ten huge warships, and they fired at the shore without saying a word. Hundreds of artillery bombarded together, and the minions were carefully arranged to bombard the station, and then they came down to the tens of thousands of Ming troops, and the minions led the soldiers to resist to the death, but after all, they were outnumbered, and finally lost Incheon, master, the minions can't stand you! ”

Thank you for the tip. The third update, this is even more to make up for yesterday's change, brothers, Ah Ding didn't break his promise
