Chapter 376: Sacrifice to Mao Dashuai
"The last general will live up to the trust of the commander!"
Although Li Rui was unwilling to stay in this bitter cold land of Liaodong, he still faithfully obeyed Li Xingzhi's military orders.
"General Shang and General Geng, the Han army under your two was originally from the Dongjiang Army, and the commander intended to reorganize them into the combat sequence of the Ming army, so they were reorganized into the sixth town and the new sixth town of the Jingbei Army, what about the two of you temporarily serving as the towns of these two towns?"
Geng Zhongming is Chongzhen's seven-year surrender to the Qing, Shang Kexi is Chongzhen's eight-year rebellion, these two are not different from Li Yongfang and Sun Degong, and they did not enter the pass to loot before the Battle of Songjin, although they had slaughtered countless Han people in later generations, but Li Xingzhi still decided to give them another chance.
"The last general and others must obey the commander's orders!"
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked out of the queue and bowed down in front of Li Xingzhi.
"General Shang, Geng Liangjun, this commander is not like Mrs. Hong who can give you the title of prince and king, you won't have any complaints!"
Seeing that Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were so respectful, this time the Jingbei Army was able to capture Huang Taiji alive, and Zhi Shun and Huaishun Fan made great contributions, and Li Xingzhi did not forget to make a joke about Shang Kexi.
"Dashuai, don't look at what Huang Taiji has named us, but in the eyes of the last general, this prince is not as valuable as a capital division of the Ming Dynasty, and the last general was also forced to vote for the Tartar back then, and now there is a big handsome to preside over justice for us, we will definitely be desperate to serve the big marshal."
"Well, Ben Shuai has no doubts about the loyalty of the two generals, this time he will return to Shandong with Ben Shuai, if he makes another meritorious service, Ben Shuai will not hesitate to reward him!"
"The last general, thank you for the cultivation of the handsome!"
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming knocked their heads down again, what they said was actually true, although they were what kind of princes they were on the Manchu side, but in the final analysis, they were still Manchurian minions, and any Manchurian Niu Lu could show them a look at random.
"Okay, go down the notice, return to the division tomorrow, bring Namutai and Duoduo's son Doni and those little cubs of the Manchurian princes, Ben Shuai will pay tribute to Mao Dashuai on Shuangdao, Mr. Xu, you draft a memorial letter for Ben Shuai, Mr. Yang, Ben Shuai ordered you to be the prefect of Shenyang and assist General Li to guard Shenyang."
"The last general, subordinates, etc., must obey the commander's orders."
Since Li Xingzhi had already made up his mind, the generals naturally took the order and left.
On August 26, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Xingzhi immediately left the three towns under Li Rui's department to defend Shenyang according to the original plan, and he personally commanded the sixth town, the new six towns and the remaining more than 3,000 Manchurian and Han green flags and embarked on the journey back to southern Liaoning.
With the continuous expansion of the scale of the Jingbei Army, Li Xingzhi naturally had no way to do everything himself, and handed over military affairs and government affairs to his generals, which was also a matter of course.
Shenyang is more than 1,000 miles away from Jinzhou, and after bypassing Liaoyang, the Jingbei Army successfully arrived at Jinzhou Fort in early September.
At this time, Jinzhou Fort is no longer like Li Xingzhi when he just cut down Liao, it is a ruined wall, a five-sided fortress with a cement structure within a radius of seven or eight miles is stuck on the official road from Gaizhou to Lushun, and the left and right sides of the fort are about ten miles away from the vast sea, it can be said that as long as this fort is not broken, Lushun can be firmly in the hands of the Jingbei Army.
"The marshal conquered Shenyang in a war, captured the Tatar chieftain Huang Taiji, raised the country's prestige outside the territory, the ancient famous generals are unreachable, and the last general is the marshal, and the Jingbei army is congratulated!"
Li Dingguo, who was guarding Jinzhou, and Zhang Wu, the general of the fifth town who came from Lushun, saluted Li Xingzhi, who had returned to his division in victory, with a happy face.
"Ben Shuai just took advantage of the opportunity that the main force of the East Capture was still in Jinzhou to sneak attack, you are all brothers of Ben Shuai's trust, so don't be so vain."
Li Xingzhi waved his hand, signaled Li Dingguo, Zhang Wu and their generals to get up, and then said: "General Li, the defense of Jinzhou and Lushun will be handed over to you, and the marshal will let Pan Xuezhong lead fifty warships to assist you in garrisoning southern Liaoning, General Zhang, the war in the Central Plains is urgent, you quickly return to Lushun to order the military horses, and after the public sacrifice of Marshal Mao, return to Dengzhou with Ben Shuai." ”
"Oh, the last general will obey!"
The war report of the Central Plains was transmitted to Shenyang from southern Liaoning, and Li Dingguo, Zhang Wu, Lu Liangzhi and others actually received the news earlier than Li Xingzhi, and now Li Xingzhi is in a hurry to return to Shandong, and they also know the truth of the speed of the soldiers, so naturally they will not stop it.
September 9, Chung Yeung Festival.
Yuan Chonghuan unjustly killed Mao Wenlong's twin islands.
More than 18,000 soldiers of the Jingbei Army lined up in a neat queue in front of the general stone under the mouth of the West Lake, where Mao Wenlong was unjustly killed.
Li Xingzhi, Zhang Wu and Shang Kexi and other generals of the Jingbei Army all wore plain clothes and linen cloth and stood on both sides of the general's stone.
The bones of the monarch gradually turn white from the years,
Jun's heart shines brightly on Xikun.
If the personnel are good every year,
Tell the soul of Wei Nanyue.
Standing under the stone of the great general who was regarded as a god by the people of Liaodong, Li Xingzhi was also excited.
If it weren't for the lack of soldiers and horses in his hands, Li Xingzhi even considered taking advantage of the capture of Huang Taiji to conquer Liaoyang in one fell swoop, completely exterminate Dorgon's two white flags, and solve this great problem that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for 20 years.
After Li Bangjie presented incense and candles and other sacrifices, Xu Yixian, the counselor of the Military Marshal's Mansion, stepped forward and unfolded the sacrificial text written overnight and read aloud:
"Towards the old slave to build chaos in Liaozuo, the armies of Liaodong are helpless, only Mao Gongwenlong with 200 soldiers across the sea to attack Liao, the heart of loyalty, heaven and earth can be learned."
"After Mao Gong arrived in Liao, he went down to Zhenjiang, broke Lushun, took Phi Island, closed Kuandian, and then covered, Yao, Fu, and Hai four states, and recovered more than 1,000 miles of land in a few years, and collected 400,000 Liao people, although its ancient name will not be able to reach it!"
"Mao Gong is only loyal and righteous, although there is the solidity of Phi Island, but the soldiers are on the front line, Mao Gong in order to encourage the heart of the soldiers in front, but also placed his family in Tieshan, the battle of Ding Mao, 50,000 prisoners in the east committed North Korea, more than 200 members of the Mao Gong clan were all killed, only the son Mao Chengzuo survived, it was really full of loyalty."
"However, Yuan rebelled for a selfish desire, in the name of about grain, he killed Mao Shuai Wenlong on Shuangdao, so far southern Liaoning changed color, and the Tartars no longer had any worries, so there was a change in the past, the slaughter of Shandong, sad and sad, Mao Shuai's injustice was especially worse than Yue Wumu's unwarranted words!"
"Qing's father is not dead, Lu is not over, although Yuan Shun has been ambushed, but Mao Shuai's injustice has not yet been revealed, all the princes of the court have different intentions, and they have deceived Tiancong."
"Today, Penglai Hou, the commander of Shandong, Liaodong commander-in-chief Li Xingzhi adheres to the last wishes of the late Dongjiang Mao Marshal, the Northern Expedition, Lianke the land of southern Liaoning, and smashes the tiger's den, since October, more than 20,000 Dongfu chieftains, Zhunu chieftains in Shenyang, hope that Mao Shuai and the generals of the Dongjiang war are in the spirit of heaven, bless my Huaxia, exterminate the Dongjiao, and now I would like to sacrifice the Tartar chieftains captured in Shenyang in front of Mao Gongling, but ambush, still feast!"
Xu Yixian sacrificed the text, and Li Bangjie escorted the Manchurian princes such as Namutai, Doni, and Ledu to the general Shixia.
"Slash!"
Li Xingzhi gave a loud order, and hundreds of iron soldiers who acted as swords and axes swarmed up, and killed dozens of young cubs of Manchurian princes with only half a pillar of incense.
