He is neither a Han nor a Jurchen, but... a Korean!
Let's put it this way, before the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was no so-called Manchu at all. It was purely the product of the forcibly mixed tribes and ethnic groups in Liaodong, including many ethnic Koreans.
The 14th Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenghong Banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The founder of this unit was Han Yun, a Korean, and most of his soldiers were Koreans.
Historically, Han Yun participated in the Battle of Sarhu, the Battle of Songjin, the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and the battle to conquer North Korea. Han Yun has been fighting since the beginning of Huang Taiji's succession. Especially in several years
During the first expedition to North Korea, Han Yun had always been the vanguard guide. This guy even disguised himself as a North Korean official, personally sneaked into North Korea's Yiju City, set fire to cause chaos, and introduced the Qing army...
Han Yun's title is now the first-class light chariot captain (third rank).
Seeing that the moat was gradually being filled up by civilians, and the Eight Banners soldiers in the city were panicking, Han Yun summoned the soldiers and lectured: "Most of you, like me, are Koreans. But now there are no Koreans, only Manchus. The emperor's grace is so great, so great
The two emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all very kind to us. Those southern barbarians outside the city did not know how to submit to the Qing Dynasty, but they dared to lead troops to kill here. My fellow soldiers, our opportunity has come, even if we die, we will do it.
Guard Weining Camp for His Majesty, and guard Weining Camp for Prince Li (Dai Shan)! Defend the city to the death, long live the Qing Dynasty!"
"Defend the city to the death, long live the Qing Dynasty!" the crowd shouted.
These guys are completely brainwashed.
In other words, their life in the Manchus and Qing Dynasties was far better than staying in North Korea. The Manchu Qing Dynasties were their benefactors, and the King of North Korea was the villain who oppressed them.
In terms of treatment, they are already regarded as Manchus, and all men are classified as bannermen.
They belong to the Korean descent of Zhenghongqi!
Among the Koreans in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were two major Korean families, one was the Jin family and the other was the Han family.
Especially the Jin family, who doesn’t even have a surname, just a wrapper named Xindali. This guy has made many military exploits and has become the leader of Zhenghuang Banner. He is also the general manager of the Three Banners Firearms Battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is in charge of the Qing Emperor’s.
The Firearms Battalion is stationed in the Gongwei Imperial Palace in Shenyang.
As for Han Yun, he also has a younger brother named Han Ni, who is also a third-grade first-class light vehicle captain and is currently fighting with Dorgon.
"Father, there are many Han people in Weining Camp and Baihu City," Han Ji reminded, "Beware of Han people acting as internal collaborators!"
Han Yun said with a headache: "We really have to guard against the Han people."
There are too many Han craftsmen in Weining Camp and Baihu City.
When the Datong Army came to kill, Han Yun found out the news, so he made preparations to defend the city in advance. All the blacksmiths in Mingshan Valley and Ant Valley were quickly moved back to the city. In addition, most of the mountain products from the mountains in southern Liaoning were shipped.
Here, it was handled by Han craftsmen.
Han craftsmen, civilians, merchants, plus their families, accounted for 40% of the population in the two cities. This was after all the bannermen from the suburbs evacuated into the city.
Han Ji said: "How about...killing all the Han people?"
"No!"
Han Yun immediately dismissed it.
It's not that he treats the Han people well, but that these craftsmen are too important. If the Han family and his son dare to kill all the Han craftsmen, Daishan dares to kill them all.
After Han Yun thought carefully, he said: "Collect the iron tools of the Han people in the city, and even the kitchen knives are not allowed to be left. Those craftsmen's hammers and peeling knives, as long as they have iron, will be handed over within two days. If there are any private possessions, they will be handed over within two days.
It’s never too late to kill!”
"Boom boom boom!"
Cannons roared outside the city, and cannon fire was also fired from the top of the city.
In the city, all the Qing troops guarding the city were dispatched to search for all iron objects from house to house.
These soldiers will not be polite, and of course they will take the opportunity to extort and rob. I said if you have iron tools at home, you must still have iron tools hidden. If you don't give enough money, you will be beheaded!
"Master Jun, my family is really out of money. The price of food and salt has skyrocketed in the past two years. It's difficult to make ends meet even with a small business. How can we get money?"
In Baihu City, Han shopkeepers knelt down and begged.
A Qing soldier frowned and said, "Look again and again, and you can always get some money together. If that doesn't work, ask your neighbors to borrow some. We are old acquaintances, and I don't want to embarrass you."
The shop owner hesitated: "How about smoothing out all the accounts that Master Jun had recorded before?"
The Qing soldier was immediately furious: "Bastard, when did I owe you a debt?"
"Yes, I owe nothing, I owe nothing!" The shopkeeper kowtowed repeatedly and went back to the house to dig out some broken silver, about half a tael.
The Qing soldiers immediately took the money and left. They were stationed here and knew how much they could extort.
The shop owner collapsed to the ground and cried loudly: "How will I live in the future?"
Han Yun is also a battle-hardened man. Didn't he know that he would cause trouble?
Of course I know, but confiscating the iron tools of the Han people can effectively reduce the chance of riots. Even if you don't do this, if there are insiders, you will still set fires if you should.
As for the life and death of the Han people, does it have anything to do with Han Yun?
Facts have proved that the Han people who can still live in Liaodong have either become traitors or have become obedient people. After being extorted by the Qing army, there was still a Datong army outside the city, but no one dared to rise up.
They were just crying, just sad, just worried that they would have no money to buy food in the future.
On the seventh day, the ladder was built and mounted, and Lu Xiangsheng finally ordered to attack the city.
Baihu City is very small, with only two gates. It was built specifically to protect the iron field in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty only had a hundred troops stationed in this city, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had only a hundred troops stationed in it. At this moment, most of the people on the city are bannermen.
Shou.
One ladder after another slowly pushed towards the city wall.
Lin Zhidong's dragoons cruised between Weining Camp City and Baihu City, guarding against the Weining Camp defenders coming to cause trouble.
Weining Yingcheng.
Han Ji stood on the tower and asked, "Father, why don't you go out of the city to rescue me?"
Han Yun said: "It can't be saved. We can only hold on to Weining Camp, but we can't hold on to Baihu City. There are iron mines here, and there are gold mines 150 miles east. Prince Li will definitely bring troops to help. As long as we hold on to Weining
After a month of camp, Prince Li's reinforcements will arrive. As for Baihu City, if it is lost, it is lost, and we will take it back from now on."
Han Yun had already given up on Baihu City, and even the artillery in Baihu City was dismantled and moved to Weiningying City.
The arrows fired by the defenders were all blocked by the baffles of the ladder.
There are too few regular Eight Banners soldiers here, only fifty archers, and including those who can shoot, there are only a few hundred people. However, the Datong Army deployed hundreds of ladders, and the Eight Banners defenders couldn't even shoot at them!
Moreover, the city wall of Baihu City was too short, and the angle of the regular ladders was not steep, so the boiling oil and gold juice used to defend the city had little effect.
Zhang Mingzhen was still the first to get there. With three arrows stuck in his body, he suddenly turned over and jumped onto the city wall.
There was a wound on his neck, which was stabbed by the enemy's spear. He was also shot in the chest. Although it was blocked by armor, he almost fell.
This guy killed three Tatars one after another, and the soldiers who followed finally boarded the city. Under the leadership of Zhang Mingzhen, the city wall was quickly seized, and they were invincible along the way, chasing the Eight Banners soldiers and bannermen.
Seeing the Datong army occupying the city wall, the Tatars fled into the streets in panic. The people in the city still did not dare to resist, and they all trembled and hid in their homes.
It wasn't until a Tatar escaped into the backyard of a drugstore and lost his weapon when he climbed over the wall that civilians had the courage to take revenge.
The drugstore owner came out with his apprentice and a wooden stick in his hand.
The Tatar soldier scolded in a low voice: "Go back to the house, no one is allowed to say anything!"
The apprentice was so frightened that he immediately backed away. He actually dropped the stick and ran to hide in the house.
The drugstore owner went all out and shouted: "I fought with you, but I was forced to have no way to survive anyway! Come out and fight!"
The apprentices and the boss's family finally came out with various weapons, and some even carried the drawers of the medicine cabinet.
The Tatar kicked the pharmacy owner over, but was hugged from behind by his apprentice. After he got rid of the apprentice, he was hit in the head with a wooden stick by the owner's son.
After a lot of fighting, the Tatar was finally knocked unconscious and dragged to the street to report his merits to the Datong Army.
It was not until two hours later that more and more Han people, and even some Korean and Jurchen civilians, came to the street to check.
Because they discovered that after the Datong Army entered the city, they did not burn, kill, and loot, but instead worked hard to maintain law and order.
This Datong Army seems really different.
They are different from the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also different from the troops of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Regardless of whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, once the city is breached, it takes three days to plunder.
Elderly people have deep memories of this.
It is precisely because of this memory that no matter how miserable the people are, they will not help anyone fight, because no matter who wins, they will suffer.
There are also detailed works of Datong here to spread the benefits of the Datong court.
But no one believes it!
There were even traitors who reported on them, just to exchange for a few taels of silver reward, causing Datong to make sacrifices.
On the second day, the people in the city slept in fear all night and found that the Datong Army still did not burn, kill, and loot. They finally fully believed in the military discipline of the Datong Army.
"Commander, some local young men have joined the army!"
"Oh? Choose ten symbolically to help garrison Baihu City. If you don't want one, they will think blindly."
Lu Xiangsheng was very satisfied with this phenomenon. The people in the city actively surrendered to the army, which showed that the people recognized the Datong Army. They were willing to be under the rule of the Datong Army and did not want to return to the precarious situation before.
In Weiningying City next door, in the house of businessman Hong Chuxiu, Hong Yigong smiled and said: "Uncle, Baihu City has been conquered, is Weining Camp still far away? It's time to take action."
"What if...what should I do?" Hong Chuxiu hesitated.
Hong Chuxiu was a traitor who obtained the right to receive nearby wild ginseng by delivering messages to the Tatars.
Hong Yigong, however, was a master of Datong. He came here specifically to join his uncle, who had been dormant in Weining Camp for two years.
Hong Yigong said: "Uncle, to put it bluntly, you have been a traitor for more than ten years, how can you get a good deal in the new Datong Dynasty? My uncle took in his nephew, but he was also handed over to the Tatars for two years. Isn't he just keeping it?
Do you want to seek refuge with the Datong imperial court? If you don’t take action at this time, are you waiting to have your home confiscated by the Datong army?”
Hong Chuxiu was upset and walked around the room.
Hong Yigong laughed scornfully and stood up and said: "Since my uncle is undecided, I will go to the Tatars to surrender and fulfill my uncle's loyalty to the Tatar emperor."
