Jiang Bingzhong, surrounded by officers, came to the gate of the city lord's palace.
At this time, soldiers from all sides had gathered and surrounded the courtyard.
Before the order to storm was issued, the door suddenly opened.
A group of people came out and knelt down in front of the door to ask for surrender.
A group of people were chattering in Mongolian. Jiang Bingzhong couldn't understand a word, so he asked: "What are these talking about?"
Dong Laifu quickly stepped forward and translated: "They were all saying they were willing to surrender. They tied up Oger and Ibili and presented them as gifts to the army. They asked the army not to harm their families."
Jiang Bingzhong nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief has an order. As long as the enemy lays down his arms, our army will give preferential treatment. No one is allowed to plunder private property, and is not allowed to beat, scold or abuse. All family members will be protected."
Dong Laifu immediately translated loudly in Mongolian. Hearing the enemy's general's promise, all the Mongolians breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they were not willing to fight. They all felt like they had been granted amnesty and took some generals who refused to surrender into custody.
came out.
In these years, under the oppression of Narenbaat'er, the Tumut tribe had a very difficult time surviving. These Mongolians actually knew some inside stories. The top Taijis in those days plotted to murder the prince to rebel. In fact, it was unpopular.
Narenbaat'er brought his troops back to settle accounts with them, and they felt very happy. In fact, they all sympathized with the prince and were not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Taijis.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize were on the platform and saw that the town had returned to calm. They understood that the battle was over. After a while, a large number of prisoners were escorted out of the south city gate.
Oger and Ibilita Bu Nang were carried on stretchers and walked in the procession. They both looked depressed. They never dreamed that Jining, after all, was a solid fortress outside the Great Wall, and that it fell so quickly.
But they were also a little lucky that the Ming Dynasty had captured them. If it fell into the hands of Zhebei, a bowl of kumiss would probably be indispensable. There would also have to be some ingredients in it.
Zhang Shize stretched out and said, "This battle is not difficult at all."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "Eighty thousand people, fighting more than 3,000 people, what else do you want. Besides, our technical equipment is so far ahead, it is a completely crushing style of play. They can resist for so long, which is already very good."
If it were a guard soldier, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for an hour."
Zhang Shize agreed. Indeed, this battle was a bit overkill.
"What to do with these prisoners? We can't take them to be naturalized."
"It's inconvenient for us to take prisoners. This time, I think there are about eight or nine hundred prisoners. I assigned the soldiers to two Mongolian families who surrendered. Let them form two battalions and follow us to attack Guihua City.
As for these officers and nobles, send people to escort them back to the capital and leave them to His Majesty. By the way, cut off the heads of the enemies who have been killed, nitrate them, and send them back together."
Zhang Shize said: "It's okay, but it's troublesome to carry it around."
Zhang Shize said with emotion: "The Ming Dynasty's military equipment has been depleted for too long. This time, we wiped out more than 3,000 Mongolians, which is a rare victory since Xuanzong. Your Majesty is very happy now."
"Yes, His Majesty spent so much money on the capital camp. These prisoners are enough for him to offer to the Ancestral Temple. It also makes him happy. He feels that the money was not wasted."
Yang Fan left a regiment to garrison in Jining. They were also responsible for the protection of the logistics transportation line from Guihua City to Jining. The regiment left behind in Zhangjiakou from Jining to the Great Wall was responsible for the protection.
This time a lot of horses were captured. The herdsmen outside Jining City drove their livestock into the city. This time they captured tens of thousands of horses, both war horses and slave horses. They were divided between the two remaining regiments and turned them into soldiers.
into mounted infantry.
These two regiments have horses, so they are given three-eyed muskets to each of them. This will make it easier for them to patrol the transportation line. After all, riding a horse is much more efficient than walking. As for them not being able to fight on horses, this is also simple.
.Just use the long spear and the three-eyed gun.
After a day of repairs in Jining, the army continued to set off, targeting the last outer fortress of Guihua City, Zhuozi Mountain City.
Two days later, four hundred miles of fast horses rushed into Fucheng Gate and headed straight for the imperial city. The three knights shouted "Victory in the Northwest" all the way, and asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate to open the door to let them pass.
Many people in the inner city crowded on the roadside to watch, and were still whispering excitedly.
"We won another battle, this time it's probably Uncle Dingyuan."
"It must be Uncle Dingyuan. The other generals haven't had decent results in many years."
"Isn't it? Starting from the temple, every time the news comes out, it's a defeat, a defeat, a defeat. It makes people feel discouraged. Alas!"
Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial when he saw Wang Chengen walking in with excitement on his face.
"You old dog, why are you so proud today?" Chongzhen scolded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy." Wang Chengen said quickly.
"What's the happy event?" Chongzhen was a little surprised. He didn't think of the Beijing camp for a while. Because the Beijing camp reported some time ago that it was to avoid the snowstorm and delay the exit. The army had been repairing in Zhangjiakou.
In the past two days, the Jinyi Guards have reported secretly that the heavy snowstorm outside the Great Wall has stopped. It is estimated that the army is about to set off.
"Your Majesty, the latest army has reported. Dingyuan Bo's army fought hard for two days and captured the fortified city of Jining outside the Great Wall three days ago. They wiped out more than 3,000 enemies. They captured more than 100 officers and nobles below the Iberita cloth bag. There were also
Two captains rose up in front of the formation and opened the city gates for our army to respond. The army has now marched towards Zhuozi Mountain City, the last outlying stronghold of Guihua City."
Chongzhen suddenly stood up. His face turned red. He seemed to be unable to believe his ears.
The first battle got off to a good start. Not only did they annihilate more than 3,000 people, they also captured the city of Jining in two days. Jining was a fortified city built by the Yuan Dynasty and was famous outside the Great Wall.
Chongzhen walked around excitedly, rubbing his hands. He said: "I know it, I know it. Uncle Dingyuan is good at using troops and is a good general in the world. As long as you use Uncle Dingyuan, he will not let me down every time. This time
Another big victory. It seems that Guihua City will be in the bag sooner or later."
"This is all due to His Majesty's great blessings. With God's blessing, Uncle Dingyuan was able to attack cities and forts one after another and sing triumphantly all the way."
Chongzhen became even more happy when he heard this. He laughed and scolded: "You old dog is the best at flattery. But this time the horse made me happy. I will reward you with a big front door cigarette."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately beamed. It was actually very hard for him to serve His Majesty, especially at night. Chongzhen was diligent and often worked late. He had to cheer up at all times. This cigarette is a good thing. It is very refreshing.
.
His Majesty was more happy to reward him with cigarettes than with money.
