Seeing that the hard-working prisoner porters had blocked the gate of Shanhaiguan with explosives, the fastest ones among them had to go back and forth five times. Zhu Youcong was about to order the entire army to retreat so that the artillery could set off the fire.
When he was carrying at least 20,000 kilograms of black powder, a burst of shrill shouts from the Tatars suddenly came from above the door.
"Surrender? Negotiate? What were you doing earlier?" Zhu Youcong shook his head, took out his ears, and asked Chongzhen next to him: "Brother, what are they shouting? My ears were injured by the cannon just now, so I can't hear.
It’s so clear!”
"Louder! What did you say? I can't hear you!" Chongzhen's performance was even more impressive, and he simply ignored Zhu Youcong's voice.
"Your Majesty..." Although Yuan Chonghuan was stunned by this new method of warfare, his hearing was still normal, so he decided to kindly remind the two deaf teenagers. Before he could say the next words, he
I noticed that the man next to me, Lu Xiangsheng, who was called the military commander, pulled his sleeves, and then scratched his neck with his hand.
"Brother Ziru, don't make mistakes..." As a victim, Gao Doushu knew very well how small-minded those two guys were. He just muttered a few words in the city of Beijing and was assigned to be the logistics captain. The unlucky Li Guopu was even more
He had to stay in Beijing to deal with the important ministers of the court. If Yuan Chonghuan was allowed to finish his words and disturb the good mood of the two people, he didn't know how he would be dealt with.
"Very good! Keep attacking!" Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Youcong nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, he called Shi Guoxiang beside him and said: "Remember to find the guy who fired the first shot later. This general will reward him heavily."
!”
Of course, they should be given a heavy reward. If it hadn't been for that one shot, at least all the transportation brigade would have been lost at Shanhaiguan. The 50,000-strong army might have suffered heavy casualties now, and this battle would probably be Zhu Youcong's death.
?’s war of humiliation, and history will move forward according to its original trajectory.
"Stop fighting! Look clearly, these are all your people!"
Damn it, this Ming army is so shameless! We, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, are willing to lower their noble heads and beg for surrender, so why do they keep fighting? In desperation, the Tatars had no choice but to change their shouts, feeling in their hearts
Pray silently, hoping that this last move can make them calm down for a while.
"Cease fire!" Chongzhen could not ignore the shouts from the city this time, and gave the order at the same time as Zhu Youcong.
On the Shanhaiguan Pass, rows of people wearing blue clothes and haggard faces suddenly appeared. There were even a few women and children hanging on the city wall. On the other side of the gate, many such people were tied up with long ladders and fell down.
.
"Shameless! I...I want..." Chongzhen looked at this scene and his eyes were so angry that he couldn't even speak clearly. He had been in the palace for a long time and never thought that such a scene would happen in the war.
"See clearly, these are all the people of your Ming Dynasty! We demand negotiation!" Seeing that the Ming army under the city no longer attacked, a few Tatars bravely hid behind the people and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty! General..." Lu Xiangsheng did not expect that the war would progress to this point. He had no choice but to pin his hopes on two young people. Attack? The first ones to be hit will be the innocent people! Armistice? Don't talk about yourself.
Without this right, if the Tatars were really allowed to escape, when they regain their strength, we don’t know what kind of disaster they would cause to the Ming Dynasty.
Yuan Chonghuan was shaking with anger. He had had small-scale confrontations with the Tatars in recent years. Although the Tatars often drove captured people to attack the city, like now, the city was full of unarmed people, waiting.
This is the first time he has seen you fight.
"Xiang Xian..." Zhu Youcong was even more speechless. He pulled Gao Doushu over and said, "Are there any civilians in your team who were captured and rescued this time?"...
"Yes! Yes!" Gao Doushu, who recovered from his anger, nodded quickly.
"Go! Hurry up and ask them to come and recognize you!" Although Zhu Youcong was angry, he also had to guard against the Tatars' tricks. There were many traitors in the enemy's team; if the Tatars were beaten anxiously, they would pretend to be common people.
, it is not impossible to stop your own attack!
"The Ming army below the city heard clearly! Our emperor knows that your Emperor Chongzhen is in the army! Now we are asking for negotiations!" Seeing that the people of the Ming Dynasty acting as cannon fodder had an effect, the Tatars also cheered up and shouted loudly: "
I'll give you a moment to think about it. If you don't agree, we will kill all the 300,000 prisoners in Shanhaiguan and then flee to the north!"
What to do now? As the saying goes, Zhu Youcong was unwilling to stop at Shanhaiguan, but he couldn't tolerate these innocent people falling in front of him.
After a little discussion, and with Chongzhen's permission, Zhu Youcong took over his loudspeaker and went to the edge of the city under heavy guards and shouted: "We can consider your opinions, but you must first put down a group of people to treat us."
Detailed screening!”
"Who are you?"
What he saw was just a fat little man about half his age, and he was not wearing the attire of an emperor. The Tatars in the pass did not dare to agree so easily.
"He is our General of the Ming Dynasty! I am the Son of the Ming Dynasty! I promise that once I confirm that all the people in the city are my people of the Ming Dynasty, I will agree to your negotiation requirements!" Chongzhen grabbed the iron trumpet and shouted at the city.
"Your Majesty, how about we run away now?" Seeing the last seedlings under his banner disappearing in the enemy's fire, Amin no longer wanted to stay. He just wanted to escape far away. Run, let's run now.
You have to run! Go back and take your tribe to find a place to recuperate and recuperate. Even if we are destined to fight against the blind bear in this life, we don’t want to see these demons from the Ming Dynasty!
"Go away!" Huang Taiji angrily kicked Amin away. His emperor Ama was really confused back then. How could he put such a coward in the top four Baylors with me? We can't block the Ming army here.
Where else should we run?
"Tatars in the city, listen, you are limited to release 5,000 people for us to screen within a quarter of an hour! Otherwise, I will immediately order an attack on the city!" Chongzhen was not in the mood to stay in the ice and snow, waiting for the enemy to discuss slowly.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Fan Wencheng almost slapped himself. How could I have forgotten that the supreme commander of the army under the city has been replaced? That was Chongzhen, the headstrong, unkind and unkind Ming Dynasty in history.
Emperor! If he is angered, he might actually order an attack on the city regardless of the lives of these ordinary people!
"Let them go!" What else can we do? Is it possible that we really have the ability to kill all these 300,000 prisoners first, and then escape smoothly? If nothing else, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to fill the door with gunpowder.
Shanhaiguan could not hold on anymore. "Let go 10,000! At the same time, order all the Eight Banners warriors to prepare to retreat with me first!"
Don’t you want five thousand? Why don’t we give you double? Huang Taiji thought, it must be impossible to open the city gate now. It would take most of the day to slowly hang down these ten thousand prisoners.
?As long as we see that the situation is not right, we can also lead a strategic retreat with others.
"Emperor Ming, we promise to release 10,000 people first! Don't fire!" The Tatars who were responsible for releasing the prisoners hid behind the people, fearing that the enemy would not keep their promises.
"Hehe... How about it? My trick works well!" Chongzhen looked at the people around him with a proud face, and his heart was even more happy. When Zhu Youcong secretly gave him this idea just now, he was still thinking
I really have no idea. Ordering the Tatars, is this something I dared to think about before? It seems that with the support of this army behind me, my life will become more and more comfortable in the future.
"The whole army retreats one mile, leaving enough space for those who leave the city!" Zhu Youcong had no time to pay attention to Chongzhen's show-off. He had to prevent the enemy from organizing a death squad to attack at this time! Since the Tatars all know how to lay landmines
Now, who can guarantee that they won’t come up with suicide bombs? Before the screening is completed, it’s better to isolate them first!…
Seeing that the Ming army was slowly retreating, the Tatars finally felt relieved. They began to set up hanging baskets at the top of the city. In order to prevent the unreasonable Ming emperor from getting impatient, they even
He had the guts to put down the long ladder and let the selected prisoners climb down on their own.
"Those who are leaving the city squat down and hold their heads with their hands!" At this time, many people had rushed outside the isolation area. The soldiers of the First Army shouted loudly and raised their rifles again. "If there are any unauthorized actions,
, shoot to death without mercy!"
"Gouwazi!" Uncle Sun saw that familiar figure from a long distance away. After they were rescued, they could have stayed in the capital to rest and wait to be assigned to various counties in Henan. But he really couldn't rest assured.
His son, after much effort, joined the team escorting grain and grass.
"Dad..." Gou Wazi was resigned to his fate and prepared to endure the miserable life after returning to Liaodong. He never expected that he would be able to see his relatives alive in this life.
"Nizi!" Not far away, Uncle Miao also discovered his daughter. He also followed the army with an uneasy mood. Along the way, he saw the emperor's personal expedition winning one after another, and the hope of rescuing his relatives was also gone.
It's getting bigger and bigger; I didn't expect that this day would really make him wait. Although he only saw his daughter, he was already in tears.
It has to be said that the Tatars put a lot of effort into selecting the first batch of released prisoners. As they were introduced into the army in batches, at least 90% of them found their relatives, and the remaining ones
There were also fellow villagers who acted as guarantors. For a time, the entire grain transportation team burst into tears. In just a few days, these innocent people could no longer restrain their emotions after experiencing life and death, and those who had not waited for their relatives were even more anxious.
To hope.
"Long live our emperor! Long live! Long live!" For the first time, these people shouted this slogan willingly. If it weren't for the wise emperor, they would never be able to get together again in this life.
"Everyone is safe! I promise you that as long as they are still in Shanhaiguan, I will try my best to rescue them!" Chongzhen heard the ministers' three cheers of long live countless times in the court, but this was also the first time he felt the sincere support.
