Chapter 2169: The Battle of Beiping between Qin and Qing Dynasties (End)
"I'm reporting to my lord, all 70,000 Eight Banners cavalry have been annihilated, leaving only a few stragglers scattered across dozens of miles, fleeing in confusion," Zhuge Liang said.
Qin Hao looked thoughtful. What Kong Ming said only started in the thousands. In addition, Long Qie still had thousands of defeated troops to encircle and suppress, and the Qing army still had at least nearly ten thousand stragglers left, so it was better to be cautious.
So he warned: "Don't worry, the main force of the Qing army has been destroyed. Even if we slow down a little, we can't let anyone go."
"Understood, the Grand Governor has sent troops to encircle and suppress them. With the Grand Governor's meticulousness and prudence, I think they will all be wiped out in a short time."
"Um."
Qin Hao nodded and said: "Our army annihilated 130,000 Manchu troops in the first battle, causing rivers of blood and corpses in Wuzhu and Junmi counties. It should be noted that the total population of the two counties was less than half of this number. In order to prevent the post-war
When a plague occurs, the bodies of the Qing soldiers are immediately burned on the spot."
"No." Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen nodded together.
"By the way, the bodies of the Qing soldiers will be burned, but the heads will be kept."
"Lord, why is this?" Zhuge Liang asked with a frown.
"All of them will be transported outside Lulong Fortress. I will use the heads of these 130,000 Qing soldiers to build an unprecedented Beijing temple, so that the Tatars will change their colors after hearing the news of Qin, and never dare to invade our border again." Qin Hao sneered.
.
Zhuge Liang's brows widened, and after hesitating for a while he said, "Although this can deter foreigners, it will also affect the lord's reputation for benevolence and righteousness."
The four kingdoms of Tang, Sui, Shu and Chu made great efforts to discredit Qin Hao. Whatever Qin Hao did, no matter whether it was right or wrong, they could always find fault in their mouths.
Therefore, even if Qin Hao did good things that benefited the country and the people, and the people of the four countries all inherited his blessings, under their unremitting slander, Qin Hao's reputation in the four countries can only be said to be mixed.
The Qin army did not keep any prisoners of war in this battle against the Qing Dynasty. Even if they were against foreigners, such a ruthless attitude would definitely leave a lasting impression. What they said in Zhujingguan would definitely become an excuse for the four countries to attack Qin Hao.
As a military advisor and a senior brother, Zhuge Liang hoped that Qin Hao could leave a good reputation in the history books of future generations. He did not seek all praise, that would be too false, but at least the name of benevolence and righteousness could not be lost.
Qin Hao knew that Zhuge Liang was doing it for his own good, but he also had his own considerations, so he said: "My king's benevolence and righteousness are only towards my own clan. I don't need benevolence and righteousness to deal with foreigners. I only need a sword."
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang didn't say much. His master's mind had been made up, and it was useless to persuade him.
"Let's go into the city and have a look."
With a wave of his hand, Qin Hao, surrounded by the army, headed for Wuzhong County with Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Zhang Liang and others.
Since the Qing Dynasty voluntarily abandoned the city, although the two counties of Wuzujunmi were not greatly damaged, the only thing that could be seen was the sparse population on the streets and the numbness in the eyes of the people.
The Qin army defeated the Qing army, and the Han people became the masters of Youbeiping. It was natural for the local people to welcome the King of Qin into the city with joy, but what they saw were indeed walking corpses, with no look of joy or cheers in their eyes.
There is also a sense of weakness.
All these are indicative of the heinous crimes committed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Youzhou.
Qin Hao glanced at Zhang Liang dissatisfied: "There is no need to engage in such ostentation in the future."
"promise."
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly. He understood very well why Qin Hao was angry. It was indeed quite unreasonable to force him to welcome Qin Hao.
Qin Hao had just entered the county house, and before he could even take a sip of hot tea, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen came to him.
Liu Bowen's face was solemn, with anger in his eyes, and he said in a serious voice: "My lord, according to the registers of the two counties, Wuzhong and Junmi counties had a total of more than 8,000 households before the war, with a total population of 35,000. Now after counting
There’s only a little over 20,000 left.”
Qin Hao clenched his fists unconsciously. Although he had expected this, he still couldn't help but be angry.
Where did the more than 15,000 people who disappeared from the two counties go? Apparently they were massacred by the Manchus and made into preserved meat.
Nearly half of the people in Wujing and Junmi counties were reduced to food for the Manchus, which was even more torturous for the living. No wonder the whole city looked lifeless.
"Report... report to my lord to find the human flesh warehouse hidden by the Qing army."
"Go, go quickly."
Under Nurhaci's governance, the Manchus had become civilized and were no longer uncivilized savages. They also understood etiquette, justice and shame. They did not dare to do things like cannibalism blatantly, so they naturally tried their best to hide it if they could.
After opening the warehouse door, what came into view was a strip of dried meat and bacon mixed with the aroma of meat. However, the civil and military officials of the Qin army not only had no intention of tasting it, but instead lay on the ground and retched, because the meat was not animal, bird, fish, but human flesh.
, and piled up like mountains.
Qin Hao's face was also very ugly. Even though he had killed countless people, this scene was so impactful to him that he had to endure it without spitting it out.
"Now the military advisor thinks this Jingguan should be cast?" Qin Hao asked.
Zhuge Liang, who had vomited a lot, suppressed the turbulence in his chest and gritted his teeth and said: "It must be cast, it must be cast. Only by casting this Jingguan can we frighten these beasts and let them know what to fear."
————————
One day later, Bai Qi, Long Qie, Huo Qubing, Su Dingfang and other generals jointly pursued and intercepted them, and all the tens of thousands of stragglers scattered east of Youbeiping were finally killed.
At this point, the Battle of Youbeiping came to an end, and 125,000 Qing troops were wiped out, including Nurhachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as well as Azig, Mulhaqi, Shuerhaqi, Fukang'an, and Longke
Duo, Hai Lancha, Seng Gelinqin and other high-level officials were captured alive, while the crown prince Huang Taiji, eldest brother Chu Ying, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Honglie, He Shen and others were captured alive.
Of course, the Qin army did not achieve such great results without paying a price.
After the war, the total casualties reached 15,000 troops, including 8,000 cavalry (including 800 barracks and 80 Nine Dragon Guards) and 7,000 infantry.
In addition, thirteen captains died in the battle, eight army commanders, six generals, and one general.
The general who died in the battle was Hu Luguang's younger brother, Hu Lü Qiangju. He was already injured. He was greedy for merit and rushed forward while chasing the Qing army. As a result, he was ambushed and shot to death by random arrows. It was really a pity.
Although the casualties were heavy, the result was even greater. There was no doubt that this was a great victory.
