Chapter 550: Defeat (2)
The fastest team of people around Chaolu was about six or seven hundred people, although the number was not very large, but they were all Mongolian riders, and in just one stick of incense, the knights surrounded Hong Chengchou's more than 100 people.
As the Tuanshan army grew stronger, many Mongol tribes who did not want to be attached to the Manchu Qing Dynasty went to Ningyuanwei and Guangningwei in Liaodong to ask for annexation. For these Mongolian tribes, Zhang Li did not exclude them, and also designated pastures for them to graze. The leaders of the Mongolian tribes were all invited to Jinzhou City by Zhang Li, where they were served with good food and drink, and some petty officials who did not care about anything were also sealed, see the "XX Consultative Conference" in later generations. The most important thing is that the organization of the small Mongolian tribes was dispersed, and those who were skilled in archers and horses joined the cavalry of the Tuanshan Army, and the rest of the people grazed and worked according to their convenience.
In this way, the leaders of the upper echelons of the small Mongolian tribes live without worrying about safety, let alone being cannon fodder for the "Mongolian Eight Banners", so the small life is quite nourishing; The ordinary herdsmen at the bottom found that working in the factories of Tuanshan Fort was far more profitable than grazing, and a considerable number of people entered the factories. Of course, the grazing is still the majority, but as time goes on, Zhang believes that more and more Mongolians will vote with their feet.
Just like these people under the command of Chaolu at this moment, they are the Mongolian knights who are attached to the Tuanshan Fort, after more than a year of training, they have become qualified warriors, regardless of race in the Tuanshan army, without discrimination......
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, Hong Chengchou's pro-army team dismounted and knelt down to ask for surrender, while Hong Chengchou was cloaked and stared viciously at the approaching Tuanshan army.
"Lord Zhang has an order, Hong Chengchou wants to catch this fang alive!" Chaolu shouted, and the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army dismounted one after another. Step by step, he approached Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou let out a long sigh and pulled out the long knife at his waist. The soldiers of the Tuanshan army obviously stagnated. Seems to understand what he's up to.
Hong Chengchou put the knife across his neck, and the whole person shook violently.
Seeing this, this scene. A regimental soldier beside Chaolu whispered: "Chief soldier of Chao, old thief Hong is going to commit suicide!" ”
Chao Lu glanced at Hong Chengchou, who was swinging a knife from the palace not far away, ah, no, he was about to commit suicide with a knife, he smiled, and said with a full heart: "Young man, you are too young!" If the old thief Hong was willing to commit suicide, he would have committed suicide when he was caught by the Tartars! Brethren. On the day, Master Zhang said, I want to live! ”
The soldiers agreed with a bang and continued to approach Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou's hand trembled more and more, he heard Chaolu's words very clearly, and his face suddenly turned like ashes. Although the knife in his hand did not cut his throat, Hong Chengchou's heart had already begun to drip blood: Zhang Zhang has always hated a "second minister" like himself, and since Zhang Zhang named him and said that he wanted to be caught alive, it was obviously not like Huang Taiji to surrender and rebel. I'm afraid that catching myself will be more terrifying than death!
Ling Chi ......
Hong Chengchou shuddered, he remembered the past when Yuan Chonghuan was Ling Chi at the entrance of the vegetable market in the second year of Chongzhen, it was really a knife that cut the flesh from the body!
Today is truly a sure death!
The corners of Hong Chengchou's eyes were sour, and he almost burst into tears - he was forty-four years old. It's not an early death......
"Maybe the glory and wealth have already been enjoyed, so what's the complaint?" Hong Chengchou muttered this sentence repeatedly. It seems that he wants to force himself to accept that he has to commit suicide.
If you don't commit suicide, you will fall into the hands of tension. I must have died a hundred times worse than I do now!
Hong Chengchou raised his right hand, wanting to use all his strength to cut his throat with a knife. But he found that his right hand didn't seem to obey the call, and it was soft, and he couldn't exert half of his strength.
"Well, if you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? ...... "Several soldiers of the Tuanshan Army have already approached within twenty steps of Hong Chengchou, and there is not much time left for Hong Taishi.
Hong Chengchou only felt that the cold sweat on his head was trickling down, and his vision had been blurred. In a blur, he seemed to see himself twenty years ago, the self who had just been in the field and was full of ambition to show his skills in the officialdom!
Although Wanli only passed the second-class fourteenth place in the forty-fourth year, he later had a prosperous official fortune, and in just over ten years, he soared to the top of the court, and finally became a member of the court of the second grade.
The champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua of that section later came to kneel and lick themselves, trying to pull the relationship to run for officials - during that time, that kind of scene, how smug they were!
Later, even if he was defeated and captured, because he had "great talent", he was deeply appreciated by Emperor Taizong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, and entrusted with an important task. After Huang Taiji's death, he obtained the position of Taishi through deliberate planning, and was in charge of nearly 100,000 troops in the entire Han Army Banner!
According to his next plan, he will soon be able to control the real power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, follow the old path of Cao Gong, and one day in the near future, he will be ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and it is not impossible to reign in the world!
It's a pity that I can't see this day after all.
All of this is the fault of that kid named Tension!
"Tension - you don't have to die well, and this master won't let you go!" Hong Chengchou shouted out this voice hoarsely, and then wiped it on his neck with a ruthless force, a bloody arrow gushed out, and the whole person fell to the ground and died!
Hong Chengchou just died......
The soldiers of the Tuanshan Army let out a sigh in unison, regretting that Hong Chengchou was not captured alive. Chao Lu shook his head, knowing that this turtle grandson was going to commit suicide, and he couldn't stop it.
Chao Lu walked up to Hong Chengchou's corpse, bent down and touched his snort, then kicked the corpse fiercely, and said fiercely: "It's really cheap, this bastard!" ”
After a pause, Chaolu said to the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army beside him: "Bring his body back to Kaesong!" ”
"Yes-" The soldiers agreed in unison, and carried Hong Chengchou's body onto the horse......
The road that Hong Chengchou ran was only one of the roads in which the Qing army was defeated, and there were a large number of Qing deserters who fled from other roads - in fact, they couldn't tell which road led where, so they just ran hard.
There were also many Qing troops who did not run along the road, but went into the mountains and forests, hoping to "find another way" and find a way to live.
Therefore, the pursuit army of the Tuanshan army was also divided into many units, which were available in all directions, and they chased until late at night, and arrested the scattered Qing army, and finally collected the troops and returned to Kaesong.
After Zhang Zhang learned that Hong Chengchou was conferred the head, he did not have too much joy, but strictly ordered Yesheng to immediately inquire about the movements of the Japanese army, and sent someone to contact Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Zhengcao to see how the battle situation was on their side......
