At the gate of Ningbo South City, there are a large number of flag people and old people and children in clothing, except for a few who are really full of eight banners, most of them are Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners. Those who have the ability to resist have been killed in the previous battles, and the remaining people are old people and children who have no ability to resist, and even babies in swaddling clothes.

In the city, there were still people who were escorted out one after another, many of them were hiding, but they were searched out by the Ming army. These people thought they were well hidden, but who knew that when they met Zhang Jie's soldiers, those veterans who had just changed from the green battalion soldiers to the Ming army, everyone was very sophisticated, and when they searched their homes, no matter how good your gold and silver treasures were, people hid there, and they couldn't escape Zhang Jie's soldiers, so they were searched out one by one.

Wang Xinyu pointed to the gray-haired and white-haired, pitiful-looking old Eight Banners, and analyzed the generals and soldiers around him: "Don't look at these old Tartars when they are old, you have to pity them!" If you don't believe it, just find an old Tartar and ask him if he had ever killed a Han when he was young! It's time to pay their blood debt! Although retribution came late, they still got the punishment they deserved! ”

"Brother-in-law, there are a lot of seven or eight-year-old children in it, and such a young child is going to be killed, this is too cruel, right?" Zheng Cong looked at the children in the crowd very uneasily.

Wang Xinyu replied: "When they slaughtered our children, did they consider being cruel or not? If we don't kill these Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners and Baoyi children, will they be able to take up arms and fight us when they grow up? Is it our enemy? Originally, they could have been sent to labor reform, but since they had already said in advance that they would slaughter the city, the clan had to do what it said, and it was absolutely impossible to change the order overnight, so none of these people could stay! ”

Zhu Shunshui, who served as a senior military academy officer, listened to Wang Xinyu's words and stepped forward and said: "Dashuai, the Tartars slaughtered our people because they owed us a blood debt, but we killed their children, so what is the difference between us and the Tartars?" You said that if a dog bites someone, can we bite it back? ”

Wang Xinyu sneered: "If the dog bites someone, we can't bite it back, but we can slaughter the dog, peel off its skin, and make it into Huajiang dog meat!" ”

When the slaughter order was issued, the Qing soldiers who had just turned out anyway, and the Manchurian soldiers who had been incorporated before, stood up one after another, and they would serve as the executioners of the slaughter of the bannermen and the coats. Those Manchurian soldiers were all Manchurian soldiers who were captured two or three years ago, and after labor reform, some of them joined the Ming army. Now let them slaughter the banner people and the cloth, and cut off their back road, so that they can no longer have different intentions.

Seeing that the green battalion soldiers who were wearing Qing soldier uniforms and had cut off their braids anyway came up with knives, many old Eight Banners were trembling with fright, kneeling on the ground and begging, and some were so frightened that they peed their pants. Back then, when they slaughtered Han people, Jianyin and other wives and daughters, they all watched others kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but they did not relent, and still continued their atrocities. The brutal are the most cowardly, and today it is their turn to lose their heads, and the instinct to survive makes them kneel down and beg for mercy from the green battalion soldiers who have just finished anyway.

Zhang Jie's soldiers did not have the slightest softness, remembering that usually these old Tartars did not regard themselves as human beings at all, and even some little Tartars dared to scold "barbarians" and "Han dogs" in front of the green battalion soldiers, but they could only endure it. Thinking of these things, the green battalion soldiers rose and fell anyway, whether they were old flag men or children, and their heads fell to the ground one after another.

Just when the knife was about to be cut down, a Manchurian old Baqi with crooked eyes and crooked mouth and a mouth full of lost teeth suddenly opened his eyes and scolded: "Dog barbarian! Let's kill Lao Tzu! When Lao Tzu was young, he killed hundreds of Han dogs! Ride hundreds of you barbarian women! It's enough to be dead! ”

"Old Tartar! Go to hell! A green battalion soldier anyway raised his sword and fell, and the white-haired head of the old Eight Banners flew up and rolled out a few feet away.

Anyway, the green battalion soldiers became more and more ferocious, at first they couldn't bear to slash and kill those flag men and clothed children, and when they killed them in the back, whether they were teenagers or children, they were all hacked to death. The babies of the banner people did not survive, those baby boys were snatched by the Ming army from the hands of the banner women, and after being put here, they were hacked to death by the green battalion soldiers with knives, stabbed to death with spears, or directly fell to death.

And those Eight Banners who wore the red uniforms of the Ming Army and were originally captured, in order to show their loyalty, they were not relentless at all during the execution, they raised their swords and killed those bannermen one by one.

These Manchurian soldiers were all drawn from the South Seas, and they suppressed the Sulu people in the South Seas, killing countless locals in Luzon, Borneo, and Natuna. Because of their outstanding performance, they were transferred from the Nanyang Company Escort Team and joined the Qiongzhou Army.

When a Manchurian soldier brandished a knife and cut off the heads of three old Eight Banners in a row, and was about to swing his knife to slash at the fourth Old Eight Banners, the old Eight Banners suddenly turned his head and looked at the Manchurian soldier in astonishment: "Bu Yantai! How are you! How did you put on a Han dog outfit? ”

Bu Yantai recognized this old Eight Banners, and he was the same Niu Lu, once a transparent Niu Lu warrior, it is said that Chongzhen entered the customs in the eleventh year, this old Eight Banners followed Yue Tuo all the way to Jinan, and killed countless people along the way. Later, Yue Tuo died of illness in Jinan, and the Jin army evacuated Jinan.

Seeing an old acquaintance here, Bu Yantai's hand holding the knife suddenly became weak, and he couldn't cut it down.

The old Eight Banners scolded: "Buyantai! You didn't come back from the Battle of Xiamen four years ago! We all thought you had died a heroic martyr! Who knew you would be a Han dog! You will get your retribution! ”

Bu Yantai was so angry that he raised his knife and cut off the head of Lao Baqi with a knife: "Go die!" Lao Tzu is not Buyantai! Lao Tzu is Han! It's called Yan Tai! ”

Turning his head, he saw a flag man child about seven or eight years old looking at him with angry eyes, as if he wanted to tear himself to pieces, Buyantai fiercely swung his knife and cut the flag man child in two.

"Don't blame us! If you want to complain, you will complain about Fan Chengmo! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have slaughtered the city! Buyantai yelled.

Wang Xinyu told the reporters accompanying the army: "Draw all the scenes of the slaughter of the city and prepare to send it to Hangzhou for publication." By the way, those Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers who joined us, don't draw, if you let the Tartar court know that they have joined us, their families will suffer! Now that they're with us, it's important for us to protect their families! ”

When Bu Yantai and those Manchurian soldiers heard this, they were very moved in their hearts: Yes, we are not Manchurians, we are all Chinese, and we are fighting for China!

After a morning of slaughter, almost all the men in the city's bannermen and coats, from the eighty-year-old man to the infant baby, were almost slaughtered. There are only a dozen or so men left in the city, and these lucky survivors are all coated babies who will later remarry with their mothers, and eventually change their surnames, and when they grow up, they don't even know who their biological father is.

At the gate of the East City Tower, the young woman lined up in a long line under the supervision of the soldiers, her eyes were glazed, and she walked out of the city in a daze. Only a few of these women are women who are full of the Eight Banners, and most of the others are women of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and women who are clothed and servants. Their ancestors were all Han Chinese, but they became banner people and baoyi, which was not actually what they wanted. It is precisely because of these reasons that Wang Xinyu did not order the killing of these women.

But not killing them does not mean that they will not be punished in any way, and their husbands and fathers must also bear some responsibility for the crimes committed against the Han Chinese.

For the whole night last night, the shouting and killing in the city never stopped, and the Ming soldiers in red clothes broke into the homes of every family in the city. The husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons of the vast majority of women were directly slashed by the Ming army. Some men were not hacked on the spot, but they were also taken away by the Ming army. The women who were taken away did not know whether the men in the family were dead or alive, but most of them were more than lucky.

Walking outside the city, the mountains of corpses outside the city were shocking, there were whole corpses, corpses with different heads, corpses broken in two, each corpse was striped, no different from the slaughtered pigs in the slaughterhouse. There are also severed limbs that have been smashed by shells, and there are even pieces of minced meat that can't tell what they are, and the minced meat that has been beaten by shells is the same as the pieces of meat that have been cut and broken down in the vegetable market.

Seeing the tragic situation of the corpses of the Qing soldiers and banner men outside the city, the women were so frightened that they lost their faces and screamed.

"Don't look at it! Go fast! The Ming sergeant urged the women to get on board.

The poor women did not dare to look any more and turned their heads to board the ship.

"It's a pity, some little girls are really good-looking, why don't you let us enjoy it before sending it away?" A soldier looked at several beautiful Han Baqi women and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

A chief knocked the soldier on the head: "Don't think about it! They were either sent to Qiongzhou or sent to work on an island in the north. It seems like it will take two to three years before they can regain their freedom! At that time, they will also be the people of our Ming Dynasty, do you still want to use the strong ones? ”

"Want a woman? Find a beautiful daughter-in-law by virtue of your military exploits! ”

At this time, someone said: "I heard that there are still some women who stayed here and were not sent away." Brothers can go and pick a daughter-in-law! Leave those women, I heard that they are all maids of big families, many of them are very good, they are no worse than those young ladies, and they can endure hardships! Why do you think we soldiers are looking for a young lady who has never served hard labor to come back? We are fighting and working hard outside, and we have to serve these helpless women when we go home? It's supposed to be a woman serving us! ”

"That's right!" A soldier said, "Finding a little maid who can endure hardships is our first choice!" Or do we have to serve women when we go home? ”

"Let's not think about it!" The general said stupidly, "There are not many women left, and they are all selected by those who have a certain degree of military exploits!" Want a daughter-in-law? Hurry up and make more achievements for Lao Tzu! ”

The reason why most of the maids were left behind was because Wang Xinyu believed that there was nothing wrong with those maids, most of the maids were originally Han Chinese, and they were all children of hard-working people, they were sold to the flag people's families since they were young, except for a few people who were lucky enough to become the personal maids of the young lady, most of the maids were slaves of the flag people, and they should not be punished.

In addition to the personal maids of the young lady and the lady were also sent away, the general rough maids, the maids who sweep the floor and wash the laundry, the maids who planted flowers, and the maids who burned the fire were all left.

There is no way to stay with the personal maids, they are actually similar to the young ladies of the big families, they are used to living a good life, they have almost lost their ability to work, and they leave these women to be assigned to their own soldiers, so who is serving whom? Therefore, the personal maids also went to hard labor with their masters, and when they had their own ability to survive, they could be sent back, and then they would be assigned to their own soldiers.

In the city, in the yamen of the former governor's mansion, more than 500 young women were imprisoned, they were originally the little maids of the banner people, and after the master was arrested, they were also sent here. The women were locked up in the big courtyard, they didn't know what fate they were about to face, and everyone hugged their heads and cried.

"It's time to pick a daughter-in-law!" A man's voice sounded outside.

One by one, the big men walked into the compound and began to choose women.

"Master Gong, this girl is beautiful, I don't know if you like it or not. And that one, how beautiful it looks. Seeing that Gong Xiaoda also came in to pick people, Zhang Jie, who was in charge of guarding these girls, came forward as if flattering and enthusiastically introduced him.

Who knew that Gong Xiaoda finally picked a woman who didn't look very beautiful and had a stout figure.

"Stout point, can work, pick a weak one, can only be seen at home! And the ass is big, so you can give birth to a son! Hahaha! Obviously, Gong Xiaoda was very satisfied with the woman he had chosen.

The woman was originally a rough maid chopping wood and carrying water, black and stout, and with a mediocre appearance, she originally thought that no one would take a fancy to her, but who knew that she was picked by a general, and she was naturally ecstatic.

Gong Xiaoda watched a thousand general manager under his command pick a flower maid with fine skin and tender meat, a slender figure and a delicate appearance, so he sneered: "Sophisticated! You picked such a thin woman, be careful that all you will give birth to in the future will be daughters! ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

The experienced Qian always blushed and said embarrassedly: "How beautiful my girl is!" Even if they give birth to daughters, they are willing! What's so bad about a daughter? A beautiful daughter can marry the son of a high-ranking official. ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed even more.

More than 500 maids were snatched up by officers and soldiers who had made great achievements in the blink of an eye, but there were still people who came to ask for daughters-in-law one after another. Zhang Jie coaxed them at first, saying that everyone was allotted.

But those people didn't know where they heard the news, saying that Zhang Jie still had women in his hands, pestering him, and asking him to hand over all the women. Zhang Jie had no choice but to hide himself, and the more than 100 maids who were originally going to be distributed to his cronies were released again and distributed to the officers and soldiers who came to ask for a daughter-in-law.
