Flies were flying in the sky again, and the strong smell of blood caused scavengers within a radius of more than ten kilometers to rush over to participate in the feast left to them after another large-scale cannibalism of human creatures.

The Battle of Salhu, the Battle of Guangning, and several major battles in the historical documents of the Qing Dynasty in later generations are all recorded in the Ming army's hundreds of thousands, and the Qing army suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, regardless of whether this record is true or false! In a battle of 300,000 troops, the remnants of the Qing army's more than 126,000 troops were almost completely annihilated, while Dongjiang only paid the price of four or five hundred casualties.

If it were in the past, I am afraid that Mao Jue would definitely celebrate it in a big way, at least use his head to build another Beijing Temple, warning the nomads who have been in the Mongolian desert from Siberia to the later nomads that the Celestial Empire is not easy to provoke! But just as the soldiers of Dongjiang were gearing up, Mao Jue's handling of the victory was simply hasty and sloppy.

He didn't even bother to cut off his head, so he collected thousands of old and weak men from the captured Mongol camp to collect the corpses in the city, and more than 8,000 Koreans and Japanese people volunteered to help collect the corpses and pick up the belongings of the dead by the way. The army that had just finished the war of annihilation was strictly ordered by Mao Jue to retreat to the north of the Songhua River, and drove the Mongol camp to the south of the Songhua River.

The scene was really tragic, several huge deep pits were covered with a thick layer of coal, and after pouring fire oil and igniting it, the whole pit exuded an astonishing heat, and the red-hot coal was like the open mouth of hell.

The grassland captives and those money-hungry volunteers were carried out from the battlefield in the city to build slaves, and they were thrown directly into the pit, and in the blazing heat, a human body was quickly carbonized and turned into a handful of flying ashes.

Not only these, but in the west of Wula City, Jilin, next to the Songhua River, the Qing Army's Zuo Battalion also found the remains of people and animals like a hill, the cattle and horses that were driven to the city as cannon fodder and died, and the soldiers of the Ming Army who died in battle, all of which were put here to rot and stink, and the smell, even the Hegang sergeants did not have the courage to go in to collect the dead bodies of their comrades, so they could only spend silver to hire the Koreans to go in and collect them.

On the other hand, Mao Jue, Sun Chuanting, Song Xiance, and Fan Wenju were wrapped in white cloth like mummies, their faces were covered, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and they also entered the camp in the city of the Qing army.

Even if the battle is over and the enemy army is wiped out, the remaining camp can still provide a lot of information about the Qing State, and what makes Mao Jue particularly concerned is that it relies on the Qing army camp in the southeast corner, which is a dead camp.

Inside the tents, the amazing smell of rancid smell came out, before the Dongjiang army attacked, tens of thousands of corpses had been parked here, the weather had already become sultry, the corpses that had stopped here for an unknown period of time were rotting under the bacteria and heat, the skin was open, the yellow-green pus was flowing all over the ground, and countless maggots were twisted in the corpse's eye sockets, mouths, and wounds, and the scene was even more disgusting than hell.

Disgusting at the same time, Mao Jue couldn't help but palpitate, Huang Taiji is really an extremely terrible opponent, he is not only ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to his own people.

I am afraid that when he sent troops to Jilin Ula, he was already ready for a rout. The main force of the Qing army of more than 90,000 and the Mongolian cavalry of more than 60,000 did not know that before the war, they had been treated as victims by Huang Taiji and were destined not to return to Liaodong alive.

Whether it was the corpses of cattle, sheep and livestock or the corpses of the war dead during the siege, Huang Taiji did not bury them, he deliberately hoarded these corpses in order to summon this terrible demon in hell, the Black Death that once wiped out a small half of the population of Europe.

If it is a victory, the Qing army carrying the germs of the Black Death all the way north, constantly dying of disease, I am afraid that the shadow of the Black Death is stronger than the destructive power brought about by the slaughter of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, Mao Jue's pupils can even appear such a scene, in the towns and villages he worked hard to build, the Dongjiang hoarders who have formed families are coughing, spitting black blood in their mouths, and each family dies at home, and the Heilongjiang River Valley, which has just flourished for a few years, has once again turned into a dead land, and even the plague may flow into Japan, Korea, and Jiangnan along the trade routes.

Wasn't the Black Death in the West brought to Europe by fleeing Venetian merchants when the Mongol army besieged Constantinople? Once the plague spreads, the number of dead will be uncountable!

Even if this strategic goal was not achieved, Huang Taiji left the plague-infected army here and confronted the Ming army for ten days and a half months, and the plague also spread among Mao Jue's army, and the southward operation of the Dongjiang River would also be destroyed.

No matter how powerful the cannon is, it can't withstand these invisible deaths!

No wonder the battle against the Qing army last night went so smoothly, and no wonder Huang Taiji was able to leave all his main forces behind so easily.

But what he didn't expect was that, first, Dongjiang was so decisive and vicious, he launched an attack overnight that day, and Mao Jue's combat order was not to leave a living mouth! There were more than 110,000 Qing troops, and the huge source of infection was eliminated by him in a short period of time. Another point is that Mao Jue, a cheating guy, is as ubiquitous and irresistible as a poisonous miasma in the eyes of the ancients, just like a plague like the devil and gods, but in Mao Jue's eyes, he is objective to a little mouse and a flea, he knows how to resist these diseases!

instructed his subordinates to directly take oil and gunpowder to burn the seedbeds of these epidemics, and he didn't even look at the main account of the Chinese army left by Huang Taiji, just like the protagonist in the movie, he didn't look back at all about the raging fire behind him, Mao Jue was gloomy face and returned to the Dongjiang camp in the north, while hurriedly giving orders and commands.

"Lord Fan, you return to Acheng immediately, and immediately transfer all the coal and medicinal materials that can be mobilized from the train to the front line, the second stage of military assembly is canceled, and all those who can work will go down to the mine and the medicine garden, and send a message to the Tieshan Chamber of Commerce, and Ben will increase the price by 20% to buy Coptis chinensis, forsythia, Sophora, sulfur and other medicinal materials! It has to be fast!"

"Humble and saved!"

Not only did the Qing army break out of the black plague, but those Mongolian tribal camps were also infected, and this afternoon he went to count the bosses who watched several families of infected herdsmen with swollen necks, and suddenly fell to the ground when he walked, and died without kicking his legs, and there was a dead silence in the tent, and when he opened it, he found that the family had been dead for a long time!

Such a terrible illness happened right in front of him, and Fan Wenju's back was also covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and bowed directly to receive his life.

"Lord Sun, you have made meritorious contributions to garrisoning Jilin City, dragged the main force of Jianjiao for our army, and won the opportunity for the decisive battle, and immediately promoted you to the governor of Liaodong Governor's Mansion Tongzhi, this general ordered you to popularize the method of preventing plague in Jilin City, all towns and departments must cooperate, and dare to be lazy and resist the military law!"

Then on this opportunity, Mao Jue promoted Sun Chuanting to a wave of officials, and promoted this handsome talent to a key position, but he was not ambiguous, and immediately bowed heavily.

"Obedience!"

A few more personnel orders were issued, specific to the various chief officers, speaking kung fu, the group had already ridden through the ruins of the entire city, and returned to the last warehouse position, where, several holes smashed by the Qing army, hundreds of Dongjiang troops were holding bricks and cement to reseal, and the wall was built higher and tighter than before, and the vertical wall was extended with two layers of fine barbed wire, this war was not fought with people, but with rats! I don't allow these things to come with germs! The entire ruins will only need to be locked down through this winter before they can reopen again.

Seeing that the iron door behind him was slammed shut in a creaking sound, Song Xiance's huge head and eyes turned around twice like a mouse possessed, and then he was there with a fist.

"General! This plague is not a good thing! Our Dongjiang is afraid of the plague, why is he not afraid of the Qing country? Now half of the territory of Jianzhou is occupied by our Dongjiang River, those Jiannu Tartars are unprecedentedly concentrated in Shengjing, Liaoyang and other places, as long as these infected soldiers, sick rats and fleas are sent to Shengjing, from May to before winter, Shengjing will also break out of the plague, and treat others in their own way! Look at how he Huang Taiji guards!"

"In that case, even if the army can't move now, there is no hurry, and our division can wait for the winter epidemic to dissipate back then, and go to Shengjing to help the emperor Taiji collect the corpse."

This is indeed a poisonous plan, but you are unkind to me! The old boy has calculated Dongjiang like this, what if you use your method to clean up after you? Who knew that in Song Xiance's excited look, Mao Jue actually shook his head heavily.

"No!"

"General, why?"

Mao Jue is not a woman and child who talks about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and it is not once or twice that she tears the peace agreement and turns her face faster than turning the book, full of consternation, Song Xiance couldn't help but subconsciously asked, and Mao Jue who asked was also distressed.

"Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people still account for the majority, of course, those who have entered the banner and forgotten the death of their ancestors are innocent, but after all, there are still innocent people who have been plundered out of the Guannei, and there are seven or eight hundred thousand Liaodong tun people in the western Liaoning corridor who have just been annexed by the Qing people."

"It's not false that Ci is not in charge of the army! But after all, Dongjiang needs this part of the population to supplement the labor force, otherwise even if the Jiannu is destroyed, it is meaningless to get an empty Liaodong, in contrast, Ben would rather pay a certain sacrifice and more accurately eliminate these Jianzhou Jurchens. ”

"What the general said is very true!"

also suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he also shook his head with a muttered regret, but then another kind eye appeared in Song Xiance's eyes.

"General, Liaodong can't, then Mongolia can always do it! Outside our city, there are still more than 100,000 accounts! You see, neatly not? ”

The Mongolia of this era is not the kind and hospitable Mongolian brothers of later generations! When Mao Jue heard this, he suddenly suddenly followed suit.

"Whole! Of course!"

"This matter will be handed over to Lord Song to be fully responsible!"

"Humble command!"
