As soon as Abatai finished speaking, there were voices of agreement in the tent. Only Prince Heshuo Su, Hauge, had an angry look on his face and glanced at everyone fiercely.
Dorgon, who was sitting at the top, looked at Hauge with disdain and cursed in his heart: "What a fool."
After the debate continued for a while, the opinions had converged. Everyone agreed with Abatai's opinion, especially the Mongolian banner leaders and Beile. Then Dorgon raised his hand casually and waved it in the air.
, and immediately became quiet.
He slowly looked at the crowd again, and then said: "We have been waiting for one hundred thousand warriors to conquer the Ming Dynasty for half a year. During this period, we surrounded the Ming capital and killed the Ming governor Lu Xiangsheng.
Guan Ning's two troops and horses.
They penetrated more than 2,000 miles into the interior of the Ming Dynasty, conquered more than 70 prefectures and counties, and captured hundreds of Ming kings, princes, and officials. They captured more than 400,000 Dingkou, more than a million taels of gold and silver, and cattle.
Sheep, silk, grain, and grain are all in vain. This should be the best of the several conquests of the Qing Dynasty.
But this time, our Qing Dynasty promoted the military general, but the auxiliary Duke died here. This must be paid tribute with the blood and heads of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and also to make those hateful Ming generals long in memory.
However, the most urgent task is to escort the captives back to our Qing Dynasty to strengthen our national strength so that we can conquer the Ming Dynasty again in the future."
Dorgon's words were unanimously approved by everyone in the tent. Even if Hauge was a little reluctant, there was nothing he could do. The Mongolian banner leaders, Beile, were all smiles and satisfied.
There is no need to fight, and they will not suffer any more losses. After leaving the Ming Dynasty border, they can divide their cattle, sheep, wealth, and silk, and everyone looks happy.
Dorgon looked at them, his eyes full of contempt, and he said in a deep voice: "Send an order for all the ministries to go back, pick out all the old and weak among the captured Ming dogs, gather together ten thousand, and gather them together in the big city.
Inside the camp, when we get up to camp tomorrow morning,
Kill them all to honor the spirits of General Wu and Duke Fu!"
…………
On the tenth day of March, Fengrun North, where the Qing army’s camp once stood, was bright red.
Zhang Cheng, Sun Chuanting, Chen Xinjia and other generals were all stunned there, stunned by everything in front of them. They could not even shed tears. They opened their mouths wide, but could not make any sound. A feeling of powerlessness filled their whole bodies.
"Plop...Plop...Plop..."
Zhang Cheng was the first to kneel down, Sun Chuanting, Chen Xinjia, and Zu Dashou all knelt there one after another. Behind them was another row of generals, all of whom knelt down.
Everyone was kneeling there, but there was no sound, and no one cried. Only the cold wind of early spring blew by, blowing on them and blowing on their faces. Everyone felt as if they were in an ice cellar, feeling cold to the bone.
In front of them, piles of bloody human heads were piled up. Each pile contained a hundred heads. There were a hundred piles in total. Behind each pile of heads, there were a hundred headless corpses lying there.
They lay neatly, as if they were lining up to go to heaven. Not a single corpse showed any signs of resistance. They allowed the Tartars to slaughter them, as if death was more comfortable than living.
The bright red on the ground has solidified, and piles of human heads are placed on top of the bright red. The scene in front of you is like Arrow Hell, and the smell of blood fills the entire sky, making people suffocating.
"ah……"
Zhang Cheng roared heart-breakingly, and the shrill voice cut through the sky. Under his influence, the roars came in waves, and finally tens of thousands of people roared in unison, resounding throughout the sky.
Just like Zu Dashou, he also ate human flesh when he was in Daling River. In this scene, he was also extremely sad and angry. Everyone present was full of anger.
"What happened today must be paid for with the blood of the Tartars. Only the blood of the Tartars can wash away this place!" Zhang Cheng said angrily.
He forced himself to stand up, turned around and helped Chen Xinjia up. He could clearly feel that in Chen Xinjia's still trembling body, it was not anger, but fear, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of contempt in his heart.
Sun Chuanting stood up on his own. His face was full of anger, his eyes were blood red, and he said in a deep voice: "Every general obeys the order and immediately gathers troops to pursue the Tartars. Don't let them escape easily and retreat intact."
…………
On March 11, the Qing army that invaded the Ming Dynasty gathered in Qian'an, broke through the Qingshankou Pass, and began to retreat. Their army gathered in Qian'an to block the Ming army, and escorted the captives with auxiliary troops and soldiers.
The people and looted materials left Qingshan Pass.
On March 12, the Qing troops broke through Lengkou Pass. Since then, the Qing troops retreated in two groups. They left large troops outside to defend against the Ming army's attack, but used miscellaneous troops to escort the captured Dingkou and supplies out of the pass.
By March 17, Dorgon led the last 30,000 Qing troops to withdraw from the Ming Dynasty from Qingshan Pass and Lengkou and returned to the grassland. The Qing army's invasion of the invaders had just ended, and it was known as the "Wuyin Incident" in history.
”.
During this period, the Ming army also caused many disturbances, but did not organize a large-scale attack, nor did it affect the Qing army's plan to withdraw from the Ming Dynasty. However, it also caused the Qing army to pay nearly a thousand casualties.
In this battle, Dorgon, Du Du and others reported to Huang Taiji. They fought in the Ming Dynasty for more than five months, from Beijing to the border of Shanxi and back to Shandong. They attacked Jinan Prefecture and defeated it. They ravaged thousands of miles and the Ming soldiers were all over the country.
It is invincible, conquering one prefecture, three states and fifty-seven counties.
The governor of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng, was killed. The supervisory army rose up and retreated. They defeated the Xuan army and Guan Ning army of the Ming Dynasty. They captured alive Zhu Youshu, the king of virtue, Zhu Cizheng, the prince of the county, Zhu Cishang, the general of Fengguo, Feng Yunsheng, the eunuch who supervised the army, and more than a hundred imperial officials.
people.
They captured more than 362,300 people and animals, 4,339 taels of gold, 977,460 taels of silver, and no other valuables.
The Qing Dynasty's Yangwu General Beile Yuetuo and his assistant Duke Ma Zhan died in the army during the Ming Dynasty. This was the only thing that shocked and saddened Huang Taiji.
What is particularly hateful is that Yue Tuo's bones were taken away by the Ming army, and these two Qing clan members were actually killed by a small guerrilla general from the Ming Dynasty!
"Zhang Cheng, you are so hateful!"
After receiving Dorgon's report, he mourned him in court and personally stopped eating and drinking for three days.
…………
This time when the Qing army entered the fortress, there were more or less changes due to Zhang Cheng's unexpected arrival.
First of all, the Qing army's own losses were much greater than in history. The Qing army dispatched 100,000 troops and suffered losses of more than 20,000. In particular, the Zhenglan Banner under Hauge's command was almost crippled, which was at least more than in history.
Ten thousand men and horses were lost.
Moreover, their plundering profits were greatly reduced due to Zhang Cheng's interference. Although the gold and silver were still the same as before, the population and livestock were reduced by almost a quarter.
The most important thing is that Yue Tuo was killed. In history, Yue Tuo died of smallpox and his body was transported back to Shengjing.
Now, he was killed by Zhang Cheng with one blow, and his body was left in the Ming Dynasty. He was escorted to the capital by Zhang Cheng, presented in front of the emperor, and sacrificed in the Ming Ancestral Temple.
In the dark night, Zhang Cheng looked at the starry sky and sighed with tears in his eyes: "Zhang Cheng did his best!"
