Chapter 321: Capturing the Prisoners
The rebels were defeated.
Some of the routs ran and ran and regretted it.
But now there is no chance to surrender, as long as you squat, you will be trampled into mud, and many people will be pushed down by the people behind because they run a little slower, and they will never get up again.
There are also some people with big shoulders and round waists who have good martial arts, but because of their heavy weight, they are panting and sweating profusely before they can run far, and they are gradually overtaken by others, and after falling, they carry the dead man on their backs, although they are also trampled on, and finally become prisoners.
As for the people who were hacked to death and slashed by other runners, there were not a few.
The ground was littered with corpses with missing arms and legs, and knives, guns, rattan cards, axes, helmets, and armor were thrown everywhere, and if you accidentally stepped on them, you would be killed by the battalion or militia that caught up.
Li Zheng was a little old, and he couldn't outrun the young man, and under the light of a torch, he saw corpses all over the ground, and felt that if he chased down, he would run to a place where there was no river to block in the southwest.
Although a few more rebels can be killed, most of the rebels will run away, which is contrary to the original idea of Dingyuanhou.
Li Zheng stopped, took a few breaths, and gave an order to the guards around him: "Let the traitor drop his weapon, squat down with his head in his hands, and surrender without killing!" ”
The Ming soldiers who were chasing around began to shout: "Drop your weapons, squat down with your head in your hands, surrender and don't kill!" ”
"Drop your weapon, squat down with your head in your hands, surrender and don't kill!" The shouts gradually increased.
In the end, the entire pursuit scene shouted: "Drop your weapons, squat down with your head in your hands, surrender and don't kill!" ”
The effect was immediately apparent, and the people who ran behind suddenly got a way to live, and they all dropped their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands, and the pursuers ran forward from their side, without killing them.
The Anjia thieves who were still fleeing couldn't hear the howl of the ghost crying wolf when they were being slashed behind them, and only heard a shout behind them:
"Drop your weapon, squat down with your head in your hands, surrender and don't kill!"
I couldn't run anymore, and when I turned around and saw that the person who fled behind me was not killed, I squatted on the ground with my head in my hands and was safe, so I also squatted down with my head in my hands.
Guizhou is a place where Han and ethnic minorities live together, and Tusi soldiers can generally understand Chinese.
The Tusi soldiers who could hear the sound all surrendered, because they also fled to survive.
According to the rules of Tusi: if you become a deserter, you will be executed, and if you escape, you can only flee to the mountains as a homeless, since you don't have to die if you surrender, why do you have to run?
Originally, they were also coerced by the toast, and if the people of the Ming Dynasty don't do it, who wants to rebel? Only those who are motivated by the desire for profit will heed the encouragement of the An family and resolve to rebel.
There were thousands of dead and wounded in the stampede.
The Anjia army in the south of the city was pursued to the end by the town soldiers, battalion soldiers, and militia, and more than 30,000 prisoners were captured.
The Guiyang militia was responsible for guarding the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, and the wounded town soldiers, battalion soldiers, and militia were taken care of by the women in the city organized by the Guiyang female militia.
In fact, An Bangyan only had 50,000 elites, and only 20,000 were brought by An Bangyan during the siege of Guiyang, and the remaining 80,000 were all Tusi soldiers sent by Guizhou Xiaotusi, or young and strong ethnic minority tribes who were abducted.
Attacking the two south gates of Guiyang, except for An Bangyan's 3,000 musketeers, the remaining cannon fodder were all other Tusi soldiers.
Thousands of these miscellaneous soldiers were killed, thousands were killed by the townsmen, battalions, and militia during the rout, and more than 7,000 people died by trampling on each other.
More than half of the 3,000 musketeers of the An Jiajun were burned to death by a honeycomb detonated gunpowder, and the rest threw away the muskets when they fled in rout and fled in the middle of the cannon fodder, and it is difficult to count how many died.
An Bangyan's Furlong cannon was also ignited by Wang Hongyu's condescending twin Furlong cannons on the city wall, and most of the gunners were burned to death, and the Furlong cannon became a trophy.
After An Bangyan was captured alive, An Wei controlled 3,000 Shuixi Tusi soldiers, and it is estimated that 3,000 Shuixi Tusi soldiers were killed, and 4,000 escaped in the miscellaneous Tusi soldiers. Or scattered and escaped.
An Wei stood up to respond to the Ming army, controlled all the grain and grass of the rebels, and returned it to the imperial court.
Wang Hongyu arranged for the officials in Guiyang to organize the receipt of grain and grass handed over by Anwei, and organized the people to be responsible for the clothing, food, shelter and transportation of the armies from all walks of life.
The enemy forces in the east and west of the city also heard of the defeat and fled in full.
Liu Xiyuan, the defender of the east of the city, sent people to report to Wang Hongyu on the one hand, and sent scouts to contact the Shennong army and the Shizhu soldiers to intercept him, preventing him from escaping back to Kaiyang Prefecture, the base camp of Shuidong Tusi.
Wang Hongyu ordered the Zhenxiao soldiers to move from the south of the city to the east of the city to pursue the Shuidong Tusi soldiers, according to Liu Xiyuan's report: The Shuidong Tusi soldiers in the east of the city were fleeing north.
Previously, Wang Hongyu had sent the Shennong Army and the Shizhu White Pole Soldiers to intercept it, leaving the Hunhe Army and Youyang Soldiers to monitor the 30,000 Anjia elites who were ambushed.
The Zhenxiao soldiers, the Shennong army, and the Shizhu white pole soldiers attacked the Shuidong Tusi soldiers in the north and south.
Shuidong Tusi Song Wanhua was the earliest Tusi to besiege Guiyang this time, and the base camp of Shuidong Tusi was in Kaiyang Prefecture, northeast of Guiyang.
Kaiyang Prefecture is 200 miles away from Guiyang, and Wang Hongyu's Ming army was originally stationed on the road from Guiyang to Zunyi, not far from the direction in which the Tusi soldiers of Shuidong fled.
The Song family of Shuidong Tusi has made indelible contributions to the expansion of China's territory, and was once strong for a while, but gradually became the smallest of the four major Tusi in Guizhou.
In the generation of Song Wanhua, only Shuixi Tusi knew that An Bangyan was the first to follow, and followed An Bangyan to rebel. There must be something hateful about people who can be served, which is exactly what Song Wanhua is talking about.
The Shuidong Song clan was one of the first Han people to move into Guizhou from the Central Plains, and the Shuidong Song clan was originally from Zhenzhou, and the Sui Dynasty entered Guizhou.
At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Jingyang, a Zhending person, was ordered to conquer Duyun, Manzhou and other places to expel the Wuman from Manzhou; After taking the barbarian state, the Song clan continued to attack and expel the Wuman, and drove the Wuman to the south of the river, forming a pattern of water east and west of the water.
The Song Dynasty set up the Ningyuan Army Manzhou Governor's Mansion in present-day Kaiyang. Song Jingyang served as the governor of the capital. In other words, Kaiyang County, Guizhou is Kaiyang Prefecture, the base camp of the Song clan in Shuidong.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Yonggao was powerful and successively captured Gulong, Xintian and other places; In the second year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty, Song Yonggao was the pacification envoy of Guizhou, and moved to Juzhou, which was renamed Guizhou and used as the name of the official administrative region until now.
Shuidong included most of Kaiyang County, Xiuwen County, Qingzhen City, Pingba County, Puding County, Longli County, Guiding County and Huishui County in present-day Guiyang City.
The reason why Wang Hongyu sent such a strong lineup was because the ancestors of the Song family had made great contributions, and they were unwilling to kill too much like they did with the An family and other Tusi, and forcing Song Wanhua to surrender could avoid affecting the clansmen.
The leader of the thieves, Song Wanhua, must die, but many soldiers and horses under his command can live, and those who are coerced will be dealt with lightly, and those who take the initiative to instigate and kill will be severely punished.
Most of them were still coerced, and they responded when they heard that they didn't need to be severely punished.
In the north, there are Shennong troops and stone pillar white pole soldiers to block, and in the south, there are Zhenxiao soldiers in pursuit, and the enemy troops who do not respond have no way to escape.
In the end, Song Wanhua was captured by his subordinates and dedicated to Wang Hongyu.
The army under his command either surrendered or died.
