Chapter 909: Shaving Order (Thank You for the Invincible Garlic Reward)
There were not many soldiers and horses in the Eight Banners of Jiannu, coupled with the heavy losses in recent years, and some of the elites were stolen by Yue Tuo, and now there is no need to worry about staying in Shengjing City, followed by Man Gui, Yu Zhigao and Cao Wenzhao also commanded their soldiers and horses to attack the city, and launched a siege and annihilation of those Jiannu who had no time to escape. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the past, those Jiannu who were extremely vicious to their coated minions, how can they still have a little arrogance in the past? or holding their heads and running away, or hiding in wells and pigsties, trying to escape the catastrophe; But now that the number of Ming troops has exceeded 100,000, under the search of 100,000 people, how many people can hide from their eyes?
After a day and a night of cleaning, more than 10,000 Jiannu soldiers in the city were killed, and the rest became prisoners of the Ming army. However, Lu Xiangsheng still understands the emperor's wishes, and now it takes coolies to open up the flow and control the river, if the people of the Ming Dynasty are recruited on a large scale, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, and it will also consume a lot of money and grain, which is far from cost-effective to use Jiannu.
He immediately ordered Cao Wenzhao to take a team of men and horses to escort these captives along the road where Yu Zhigao came to the sea, and then transport these captives back to the Central Plains through the warships of the sailors, where they will atone for their previous crimes, it is worth mentioning that in order to prevent these people from escaping, the imperial court came up with a way, all the prisoners who served hard labor must keep the previous money rat tail, and they must be shaved back every few days to distinguish themselves from the surrounding Ming people, once they appear elsewhere, They will be immediately discovered by the local people, and then arrested, even if they cut off their braids, their bald heads are just as eye-catching.
Because this rule was extremely effective and easy to use, it quickly became popular in all places where there were slave slaves, and it was supported by the imperial court, which specially formulated a regulation that was issued to the world, and in later generations this regulation was called the "shaving order".
When Li You received the report about this incident, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that Jiannu had been completely destroyed by himself, and the "hair shaving order" still spread, but the subject restricted by this rule had undergone earth-shaking changes, from a law that eliminated the pride of the Han people and forced them to grovel to the Qing Dynasty to a law to rectify the prisoners of Jiannu; Li You watched it for a long time before putting it down, don't give it retribution?
In the future, this braid also became the existence that those slaves and slaves hated deeply, and they tried their best to cut off the braid and keep it in a hairstyle as generous and decent as the people of the Central Plains, but only those who performed best and most obediently in the hard labor camp had the opportunity to be appreciated by the leaders of the hard labor camp and receive this honor.
After they have accumulated enough points for atonement, the camp will hold a meeting, and under everyone's attention, cut off the braids and shave the hair of these lucky people, and then let the hair grow naturally on the bald heads, and eventually grow into the same hairstyle as the Han people, and these people will also quit the front line of hard labor, become the overseer of the hard labor camp, and after the hair has completely grown, they will receive the final forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty, and from then on they can live like the people of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, those lucky people who are lucky enough to be qualified to shave their hair will sit in the center of the venue with a happy face, respectfully holding the rat's tail with both hands, waiting for the full-time shaver of the labor camp to cut off their braids and shave their hair, while the surrounding audience subconsciously groped for this braid that they hated, and secretly wondered in their hearts, when would they get rid of this hateful rat tail? Is it true to live like a human being like them?
However, although they hated the rat's tail so much, they would never dare to cut it off without permission, because according to the "shaving order", cutting off the braids without permission was regarded as a great rebellion, and the punishment of beheading was immediately punishable. Use the sword of the court to settle the enemy for them.
Therefore, on weekdays, even when they were working, these captives did not dare to relax their vigilance, and they must keep this braid safe, only in this way can they save their lives.
In this regard, Li You slowly accepted this reality after experiencing the initial jaw-dropping, which is not without benefits, at least in this world, there will probably be no more disgusting things like braids, right?
Of course, these are all things that will come later, and now Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui and Yu Zhigao and others will continue to exterminate the remaining remnants of Jiannu, and now Huang Taiji, Daishan and other Nurhachi's descendants have almost been killed, through the verification of the list and the interrogation of prisoners, Lu Xiangsheng learned that in addition to Yue Tuo, almost all of the other powerful factions in the Eight Banners Army were buried in Shengjing City, as long as Yue Tuo was solved, Jiannu has never been able to gather them together since then, becoming a plate of scattered sand, At least for a few decades, they will not have the strength to threaten the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong anymore.
Therefore, Yue Tuo has now become the target of Lu Xiangsheng's pursuit, he divided the army into several roads, Yu Zhigao and Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu and others each led their troops and horses from Shengjing, respectively, to exterminate the remnants of the surrounding Jiannu forces and even the Horqin tribe given to them, Lu Xiangsheng himself and Man Gui led the elite cavalry in the army to pursue along the direction of Yue Tuo's escape.
You must know that Yue Tuo still has Huang Taiji's two sons in his hands now, and when they grow up in the future, I'm afraid they won't want to avenge their father all the time, right? Although they may not be able to make the same waves as before, they will be troublesome after all, and it would be better if they could solve it this time.
More than 100,000 troops quickly spread out in the territory of Jiannu, the walled cities of Jiannu were easily broken by the Ming army, and the homeland occupied by this gang of robbers for many years finally returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
From then on, these people would carefully guard their braids while serving the Ming until the day they died or atoned for their sins.
