Chapter 373: Kill a Hundred and Make an Example of a Hundred
Due to the familiarity of the terrain, Ma Guangpu's four family members suddenly wandered to an alley not far from Yong'anmen Square, waiting for an opportunity to commit crimes.
Although most of their companions died at the hands of the Ming army, they never hated the Ming army, and at this time they all hated their identity as traitors.
The four traitors are not stupid, knowing their special status, it may not be easy to get the Ming army's pardon.
Therefore, when they met the Ming army on the road, they all hid in time, and did not lay down their weapons and surrendered directly, because they were unwilling to be pawns, and they must fight for their identity anyway.
What is most convincing? Jiannu's head! Therefore, Ma Laosan, Ma Xiaoqi and other three brothers said that they were dead, and they had to cut at least a fourth-level true slave before they could choose to stop and go to the Ming army to surrender.
They came to the back door of a house that looked pretty good, hid on both sides of the door, Ma Laosan muttered in a very authentic-sounding Jurchen language, the door opened, and a teenage Jiannu kid ran out, and was cut off by Ma Xiaojiu's head with a click.
The person behind shouted and hurriedly waved the shunzi too late, Ma Xiaoqi's short-handled axe had already been chopped off, and the person behind was a forty or fifty-year-old Jiannu veteran.
His instinct to fight was still there, and he rolled on the spot to dodge the fatal blow, and he grunted out of his mouth, presumably as a warning.
Seeing that the sneak attack was revealed, the four horses started to chop and chop indiscriminately to kill Lao Jiannu in an instant, and suddenly the bowstring sounded like a cracked silk, and two feathered arrows flew from the darkness, and the four horses were already mentally prepared.
They are Ma Guangpu's henchmen, and they are a living force that keeps their lives, not only with high force values, but also with the most training to use iron shields to quickly resist arrows.
The professional counterpart is invincible, and the Jiannu who shot the dark arrow did not succeed but exposed their position, which made Ma Laosan judge that there were not many enemies, maybe two or three, and it should not be more than four.
Because Jiannu started as a fishing and hunting, more than half of the men can shoot arrows, and there is a great opportunity to sneak attack, only two people can be sure that the enemy will not exceed four.
Ma Laosan was originally born in Shenyang Weili, Liaodong, and at this time, as long as he was fully armed, as long as he was not fighting in formation, the opponent was Jiannu Bayala, and he could fight.
Ma Xiaoqi and the other three are also the most powerful sword and shield hands in the family, and their strength is not to be underestimated, and they think that it is okay to fight three or four Jiannu Yu Ding and the like.
Not all of them are Yu Ding hiding here, there is really a Bayala among them, but unfortunately this white-armored soldier has been wounded by his younger brother, a Yu Ding, who was carried here to bandage, and the owner of this family is a horse armor wounded in the leg.
It was Ma Jia and Yu Ding who shot arrows in the moonlight, and the strength of the white armor soldier could no longer pull the bowstring, he struggled to pick up the sword, and the mother-in-law of the horse armor also silently picked up the scissors and dagger.
The family's resistance was futile, and the four traitors who were ready to surrender were captured at the fifth level, including Bayala and Ma Jia, which were enough to be forgiven.
Every time a piece of land is captured, the unprecedentedly motivated military service will keep up with the thorough clearing of the area, which is very different from when the state was captured, and not only did not carry out demolitions, but also repaired and maintained the houses that looked good as much as possible.
The work of military service is to chop off the head of the corpse, strip off the clothes and transport it to the deep pit dug in the north of the big black mountain outside the city for centralized burial, but it is very different from the time in Fuzhou, the vast majority of the corpses have no head, and they have long been chopped down by the Ming army as a certificate of merit.
Thousands of laborers also found a lot of dark rooms, cellars, and walls when they cleaned up their houses, and the Jiannu who hoped to be able to hide were discovered, and they could only jump out passively to fight, and the laborers also suffered casualties and thus gained.
The Dongjiang soldiers had adapted to the new management methods, and they all knew that the captured gold and silver treasures could not be hidden privately.
Because in the end, everyone will be taken in one by one by the law enforcement team organized by the Shenshu Battalion, Jinyiwei, Dongjiang Town, and the "Red Flag Army", and those who violate discipline will be killed.
So far, none of the "Red Banner Army" and the Jinyi Guard and Shenshu Battalion have been killed because of greed for money, and some of the military servants and Dongjiang soldiers have had their heads cut off by the law enforcement team.
Originally, Huang Han was not ready to directly kill more than a dozen people who were greedy and hid gold and jewelry, but Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua thought that tens of thousands of people could not be prevented here, and if law enforcement was not strict, they would be disrupted.
More than a dozen of their own heads hung on the city gate tower, and the propaganda team said over and over again that three of them had already won more than three levels in their hands, and they could have been promoted at least one level, and a head reward of more than 100 taels of silver, but now they were in a different place because of greed.
The bloody facts have taught the vast majority of people that after cutting off a dozen heads on the first day, the situation on the second day was completely different, and the law enforcement team was empty-handed.
Three days later, that is, on October 20 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the remnants of the enemy in Jinzhou were completely wiped out, except for less than 400 prisoners, the Ming army killed about 12,000 Houjin soldiers and civilians who took up arms to resist, of which more than 5,000 were young and middle-aged people, not all of them were Jurchens, and a small half were Qiding, Baoyi minions and Ahha.
There are many kinds of slaves in the Later Jin, including non-Jurchen tribes born and raised in eastern Liaodong, such as Oroqen, Hezhe, Yakutia, etc., and there are captured Mongols, Koreans, and the Han people who account for the largest proportion of slaves, and the Han people who are bullied the most.
However, because Nahai had carried out a massacre against the Han people before, there were not many Han people left except for the Han army in Jinzhou City.
Nine out of ten of the people killed by the Ming army were foreign nationalities that were obviously different from the Han people, so it can be seen that when they repay their merits, they can all be mixed up with the real slaves and young people, and the big deal is that they finally bargain with the military department and the household department to receive the beheading silver.
It is an indisputable fact that the Ming army killed Nahai, Mandarhan, and Hamudani, three famous and family members, and captured more than a dozen battle flags.
There was an accident in this offensive and defensive battle, that is, the woman who built the slave also participated in the defense of Jinzhou, and was finally killed about 2,000 on the spot.
There were really not many Han troops who seized the opportunity to surrender, only more than 300 people, and more than 2,000 Han women were rescued.
Seven or eight thousand horses, ploughing oxen, donkeys, and mules were seized, more than 2,000 pairs of iron armor were seized, more than 5,000 leather armor and cotton armor were seized, and countless cold weapons such as infantry bows, riding bows, arrows, knives and guns, axes, maces, and so on were obtained.
There are still more than 20,000 stones of grain in Jinzhou City, which have basically not been burned, and there are still 1,000 or more pigs and sheep in stock, which are now all left for the Ming army to feast on.
Now the busiest are the medical soldiers, because not only are there thousands of wounded soldiers in the Ming army, but most of the traitors in the city are wounded, and at least half of the rescued women are injured.
At this time, Liu Dashou and Guo Xiao really needed to be hard-hearted, and after they judged that the wounded who thought they would definitely die, they would easily stab the heart with a dagger to end the pain of the wounded.
Mao Chenglu, who won the honor of being the first, was triumphant, and his performance in this battle was indeed brave, which made Huang Han feel less resistant.
Because in history, he led his troops across the sea to join Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming's Denglai rebels.
It's just that Mao Chenglu was unlucky, he and Mao Youshun, Chen Guangfu, Su Yougong, etc. fled Dengzhou and were ambushed and captured by Huanglong near Lushunkou, and finally suffered a thousand knives at the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital.
