Chapter 330: Surrender

With the death of Daishan's Wang Qi Daxu by Li Dingguo's own hands, with the death of the puppet Qing Prince Li Daishan and Dorobel Karchu, and with the destruction of Longtuk and Goshha under his command, the war in Jinzhou ended completely.

The officers and men of the old base camp of the Jingbei Army, who had completely annihilated more than 10,000 taels of the main force of the Red Banner, carried the swords and spears in their hands one by one with a look on their faces, and ordered the surrendered Manchurian soldiers to drag the corpses on the battlefield together, and the corpses of the Jingbei soldiers who died in the battle were also collected.

These corpses were to be burned in a centralized manner to prevent the breeding of plague, of course, as the victors, the soldiers of the Jingbei Army who died in the battle must be buried in the ground, and Li Dingguo did not want to transport the soldiers who died in the battle back to Leiden.

Qingshan buried the bones of the loyal everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned, these Jingbei officers and soldiers who were blood-stained in the field for the interests of the nation, Li Dingguo thought that their best destination was the Great Black Mountain that would fight with the Qing army with the two red flags.

In addition to the soldiers who died in battle, the weapons, armor, and horses scattered on the battlefield were also gathered together in an orderly manner by the surrendered Manchurian Eight Banners.

According to the Lu Liang direct calculation of the Leyden soldiers who accompanied the army, in this Jinzhou defensive battle, the Jingbei Army had 864 soldiers killed, one-third of the thunderbolts were consumed, and there were still more than 1,100 pieces, and a lot of medicine was also lost, leaving only more than 11,000 catties.

However, the seizure was not small, more than 1,600 war horses were collected alone, plus the war horses of the Mongols who surrendered, this time, the war horses alone Jingbei Army captured more than 2,300 sets, in addition to 4,600 sets of cotton armor, 2,300 mounted guns, and countless other swords, spears, bows and arrows.

In terms of the Qing army, since the puppet Qing Prince Li Dai Shan, there were 17 generals and officers killed in battle, and more than 3,600 beheaded, which were basically captured by the Jingbei army when they were chasing each other, and many of them were trampled to death by the Qing army.

In the face of more than 6,000 Red Banner Manchurian soldiers who surrendered, Li Dingguo made a difficulty, killed them all, he was afraid that he would hurt the heavens and peace, let's stay, the Jingbei Army only brought 100,000 stones of grain and grass on this expedition, and there was a little shortage of food for themselves, where is there food to feed these animals, plus so many Manchurian prisoners, in case of chaos, wouldn't it be troublesome for yourself.

"General, back then, the Manchurians captured our Mongols, and when they treated the captives who surrendered, they all drew lots to decide life and death, but now that I have recovered Liaonan in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji will definitely not be reconciled, if this group of Manchurian soldiers is left as our cannon fodder, wouldn't it be a good thing."

As for Li Dingguo's worries, Namutu and Khaldemuni did not care, and when they saw Li Dingguo's hesitation, they put forward their own suggestions.

"What kind of lot, General Li, you hand over these Manchurian soldiers to me, and I have my own way to make them obedient and serve us well."

Pan Xuezhong was born in the Dongjiang Army, and he was used to seeing how the Manchurians forced the Ming army to surrender, so he also had a lot of experience in recruiting Manchurian soldiers.

"Oh, what is General Pan's plan?"

Li Dingguo frowned, when he was in Zhang Xianzhong's army, he only cared about marching and fighting, and did not pay much attention to administrative matters such as recruiting prisoners.

"General Li, let's go under Jinzhou Fort, take out all the big and small generals of these Manchurians, and then let the surrendered Manchurian soldiers kill their commanders, this matter is done, the Manchurians have strict orders, if the chief officer is damaged, the Niu Lu under its banner will be sent to Ningguta to be enslaved by the armored people."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, if you surrender these Manchurians, you can just let our people return to Leiden."

Seeing that Pan Xuezhong's words were conclusive, Li Dingguo immediately handed over the matter of dealing with the prisoners of the Qing army to Pan Xuezhong, and he also sent a letter to Li Xingzhi, who was marching to Shenyang, to report the victory and ask how to deal with the Mongols to whom Namutu and Khaldemuni belonged.

Pan Xuezhong was overjoyed, he had persisted on the island for so many years, waiting for this opportunity, and immediately sent a letter urging Zhang Wu, who was still in Lushun, to invite him to participate in the grand event.

Under the unfinished fortress in Jinzhou, the east wind was howling, and Pan Xuezhong and Zhang Wu, who came from Lushun, stood on the soil slope of the Daishan stationing festival with more than ten generals.

Thousands of heavily armed soldiers of the Jingbei Army drove the Manchurian prisoners of the Two Red Banners who were stationed in various places to the bottom of the dirt slope.

Under the coercion of the bright spears and broadswords of the Jingbei Army, more than 300 generals of the Red Banner were identified by the surrendered Manchurian soldiers.

No one dared to disobey, because if they did not agree to the murderous Ming soldiers, even the slightest delay, their swords and spears would mercilessly pierce the Manchurian soldiers who were questioning.

In an instant, more than 700 generals and generals of the two red flags were picked up by the Jingbei sergeants of the Ming army who were patrolling among the Manchurian soldiers, and then stripped off the thin underwear on their bodies, and knelt naked under the dirt slope.

The Manchurian generals who were driven out were very clear about their fate, because what the Jingbei Army was doing now, they had also done to the Ming people, the Mongols, and the Koreans.

"The general spared us, we are willing to be a cow and a horse for Daming!"

"The general will spare us, we are willing to return to Ming anyway and take you to Huang Taiji to fight the dog."

"Yes, it's the old slave, it's the old slave who forced us to slaughter you Han people, and we were also forced!"

When the executioners who once slaughtered the Han people became pigs and sheep to be slaughtered under the long knives of the Han people, they were equally afraid and would wag their tails and beg for mercy.

"You are also worthy to beg for mercy before the general? When your wives and children were enjoying the silver and gold you had brought back, did you ever think that you would be today? When you slaughtered the Han people in Liaodong and Gyeonggi, did you think about today? ”

Pan Xuezhong didn't care about the two Red Banner Manchurian generals who died and came alive because they were afraid of crying, waved his big hand heavily, and shouted: "Let's start!" ”

Piles of spears and broadswords were thrown in front of the surrendered Manchurians by the soldiers and civilians of the Jingbei Army.

"Kill them, and you will live, and whoever sees no blood with a sword or spear will die."

With Pan Xuezhong's order, the officers and soldiers of Jingbei who surrounded the Qing army prisoners raised the firearms in their hands and the spears in their hands to force the two Red Banner Manchurian soldiers to take prisoners.

One cannon after another was also stripped of its armor, revealing a swarthy muzzle, only the dim cold light on the muzzle made people tremble.

More than 6,000 Qing army prisoners looked at each other, their faces were pale, but they didn't dare to move when they looked at the long knife in front of them.

"Kill them, and you will live."

The surrounding Jingbei army was shouting again.

Under the coercion of the Jingbei Army, finally some Manchurian soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the weapons scattered on the ground, and forced their former bosses and masters, and no one dared to resist with a knife at this moment.

"Kill them, and you will live."

The surrounding Jingbei officers and soldiers shouted loudly again.

"Kill!"

The Manchurian soldiers, who were cornered, had no choice but to close their eyes and raise the swords and spears in their hands, and pounced on their former Niu Lu, Zuo Ling, Shen Ling, and Zhang Jing.

Someone took the lead, and the remaining Manchurian soldiers also took up their weapons and then roared angrily and rushed towards the Manchurian generals with two red flags.
