Chapter 546: Capturing Mother and Son Alive
The 5,000-3 Guards marched from west to east, from south to north, along the perimeter of Shengjing, but Li Xin was surprised to find that the Manchus had established too many Zhuangzi along Shengjing, and there were so many people that it was a jaw-dropping number of people. At this scale, 5,000 people is not enough. So Li Xin decisively ordered, and the remaining thousands of soldiers, totaling 3,000 auxiliaries, also swarmed up in the opposite direction, burning and killing all the way along the way, which made Li Xin jump endlessly.
Most of the people in Huangzhuang were Menghan slaves, but they still put up stubborn resistance, but the resistance of these people was almost vulnerable in front of the Three Guards. Mountains of grain were ignited, and a raging fire was kindled. Li Xin secretly regretted that if this grain could be brought back to the Guannai, how many lives could it save? This year's severe drought has hardly rained in many places throughout the summer, and the lack of green and yellow crops will last for half a year, which means that there will continue to be no harvest in the autumn harvest season, so that the whole winter and the spring and summer of the following year will fall into a desperate situation where food cannot be sustained.
These Mongol and Han slaves, who were organized by the nobles of the Eight Banners in the Imperial Village, often collapsed at the first touch, and the Three Guards entered the flock like wolves, and the battle soon turned into slaughter. If it is on the battle array, it is okay to kill the enemy to the death, but seeing many unarmed people being ruthlessly slashed and killed, I can't bear it. He ordered that as long as those who did not resist could be spared, they would be able to cut off the thumb of their right hand and live.
When a person shoots arrows with a knife, the right thumb has an irreplaceable role, if the right thumb is cut off, then this person is equal to half a waste person, and can no longer go to the battlefield. In this way, it also saves a lot of the body of the three guard soldiers.
"Is this move of the thirteenth brother merciful or black-hearted, these people are afraid that life will be better than death in the future..."Lu Jiu sighed on the side, but when he said it, there was a lot of schadenfreude in it. Lu Jiu was originally a horse thief, and he has been accustomed to life and death battles since he was a child, not to mention that the people who have suffered from the seedlings now are the Han scum who have long taken refuge in the Manchu Tartars.
Li Xin knew that the vast majority of these people were just for a bite to eat, in order to survive. The vast majority of them are facing the loess with their backs to the sky, eating in the soil all their lives, being tortured by thieves and being exploited by officials, and they know what emperor's court and what loyal monarch to serve the country......
The war horse was bumpy, and the three guards rushed to the next Huangzhuang, but suddenly heard someone shouting in surprise: "It seems that a big fish has been caught..."
Li Xin looked at it, and saw that the Three Guards Regiment surrounded the three white horse carts, and from the shape and scale of this carriage alone, I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary people can ride. Wakda, who had always been inseparable from Li Xin, changed his face suddenly, and although he quickly hid this change, he still did not escape Lu Jiu, who had been closely monitoring him.
"How, Lord Belle knows the owner of the carriage?"
Wakda hurriedly explained: "Li Da naturally doesn't know who is in the carriage, but he knows that this carriage is a thing in the palace..."
Something in the palace? Lu Jiu laughed, "So, there may not be any orphans and widows of Huang Taiji in this carriage?" "The so-called carriage in the palace is nothing more than the emperor's concubines and children, so Lu Jiu said this.
Wakda's temples were sweaty, and his face was already difficult to see, so he had to nod under Lu Jiu's urging.
By the time Li Xin, Lu Jiu and the others approached the three carriages, all the people in the carriages had been driven out, mostly old women and young women, as well as a few strange-looking men without beards, and the most conspicuous thing was a ten-year-old child who was frightened by such a battle and cried.
Lu Jiu smiled at Wakda: "How, do you know?" ”
Wakda nodded heavily, as if to say to himself, "How are they?" ”
In fact, without Wakda saying his identity, Li Xin can also guess that the origin of these people must not be simple, just by those few eunuchs without beards.
Among these three carriages were the mother and son of the Huang Taiji side concubine Yehenala clan and their entourage.
Although the richly dressed lady was also trembling with fright, and even faintly screaming tears in her eyes, she still said something to the soldier next to her in Manchu, and a pair of arms tightly protected the ten-year-old child behind her, Li Xin did not understand Manchu, and even admired the courage of this woman.
"This mother and son are Huang Taiji's side concubine Yehenara clan and his son Shuo Sai......"
Wakda didn't hide the identity of the Yehenara clan after all, and in fact, he couldn't hide it, because the woman who cared for her had already told her identity, and there were many people in the Three Guards who knew Manchu, so how could he hide it from their ears?
In fact, if it weren't for the people of the Aixin Jueluo royal family, Wakda would not have many scruples, after all, when he was in Shifang Temple, he pretended to be a Seketu and took the opportunity to kill the guards, and the three guards killed all the three thousand defenders, and they didn't even leave a single living mouth.
When he knew that the Manchu lady and the child in front of him were the orphans and widows of Huang Taiji, Li Xin felt that he had broken the iron shoes, and it took no effort at all, so he dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied him, leaving only an old woman to stay to take care of the mother and son, and then drove the three of them into one of the carriages and handed them over to a special person to take care of.
"General, I grabbed another Tartar to explore the horse, claiming to have come to see him on the order of Dai Shan."
Li Xinzhong moved, and it seemed that Dai Shan couldn't sit still when he watched the Sanwei army burn Huangzhuang around Shengjing. He really couldn't figure it out, how could Dai Shan dare to send almost all the main forces to the border of western Liaoning, wouldn't he shoot someone to take advantage of the situation?
In fact, since the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 20 years, the various departments outside the Guanxi have long been pacified, the Mongolian tribes in the west, and the Korean in the east have all surrendered, and after many years of operation by Huang Taiji, there has long been no enemy around Shengjing in Liaodong, and only Li Xin did not play his cards according to common sense, and dared to bypass the uninhabited saline-alkali land of the Liaohe River and cross the Juliu River to attack here.
"Akta has seen General Li, this is a handwritten letter from Prince Li, please take a look at it..."
That Manchu scout was really an envoy sent by Daishan, and he was afraid that his status in the Eight Banners Army was not low. Li Xin took the letter forwarded by his own soldiers, unfolded it and took a look, and his heart was indeed like this.
……
Dolgon's face was angry, he had just learned from the messenger who had gone to see Li Xin that the mother and son of the Yehnara clan had been captured alive by Li Xin on the way back to Shengjing. Instinctively told him that there must be two palaces behind this matter, but without evidence, he could only be sullen and helpless.
Dai Shan held the so-called "treaty" brought back by Akta, and grinned bitterly, "Fourteenth brother, come and see, this Nanban is also interesting, what kind of peace treaty do you want to conclude with my Daqing, this kid's words are also fresh, and the treaty is ......."
Hearing this, Dolgon snatched the so-called "treaty" from Dai Shan's hand, and Dai Shan saw that he was in an impatient mood and comforted, "Don't rob it, then Nanban sent it in duplicate." Then he unfolded another copy and pointed: "Within five years, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty shall not have any acts of war, and they will live in harmony...... It's a shame that he can figure it out......"
"If a piece of paper can restrain the war, I'm afraid that there will be no killing in this world for a long time, so what if you put a seal on him..."Dolgon replied coldly and with Daishan.
Dai Shan said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Nanban will not keep his promise..."
Dorgon asked, "Is there any other way?" Anyway, there is nothing to lose, so what about giving him a promise? ”
"What the fourteenth brother said is also reasonable." Dai Shan nodded, but changed his words again, "I didn't take the initiative to release the Han merchants buried in the city, and now I want to release these people...... "Of course Dai Shan was unwilling, but since the words had already been spoken, he had to pinch his nose and release the people. However, he still left behind, and only released a small number of merchants who had been verified, and the rest were still detained in Shengjing City without verification or proven guilt.
Li Xin looked at the treaty brought back by Akta, and saw that it was covered with two fist-sized and curved Yin inscription seals, which he naturally didn't know about Manchu, so he handed it over to Wakda for identification.
"See whose seal it is?"
Wakda couldn't help frowning with just a glance at it, "General Hui, this is the seal of Prince Li and Dorobezi Dolgon..."
Unexpectedly, Na Akta interjected: "I'm afraid you don't know, now Dolgon has restored the title of Prince Rui, and Prince Li is one of the four kings of the regent..." As for mentioning that Dorgon and Daishan were one of the four regent kings, the fear was that Li Xin would not admit that the stamped seal was ineffective. After all, even if the letter of state is exchanged, it should be the emperor's seal, but at present, the Great Qingxin Emperor has not succeeded to the throne, and Dolgon and Dai Shan are almost equal to the characters of the Great Qing Dynasty......
Li Xin took out a copper seal the size of a peach from the cooked cowhide bag around his waist, stamped the two treaties as well, and then handed one of them to Akta.
"The treaty is in duplicate, take this back and give it to Dorgon and Daishan..."
After Akta left, the merchants released from Shengjing City came to Li Xin's place one after another, but he found that there were very few people from the United Trading Company. The merchants had long been frightened, and when they saw that the imperial army's army had reached the outside of Shengjing City, they were all secretly frightened, but they had never been so sincerely grateful to the Ming army as they were in front of them, if it weren't for them, they would have been poisoned by the Tartars sooner or later.
One of them informed Li Xin of the news that Dai Shan had only released a small part of the merchants, and Li Xin smiled coldly after hearing this, "Since the old Dai Shan has gone back on his word, don't blame Li Xin for not believing it..."
On the wall of Shengjing City, Dolgon and Daishan still did not leave, and suddenly the soldiers pointed to the south and shouted: "There is smoke in the south..."
Daishan and Dolgon looked up to the southwest, and sure enough, they saw that the sky, which had been clean and clean, had been filled with thick smoke......
