The 467 massacre was also a means to win

[Today's first chapter is presented, and there will be another chapter later!] 】

Just when Li Sheng and Le Yu killed Agulie, more than 30 veterans of the White Dragon Army, as well as more than 100 soldiers under Leyu, had already cleared out more than 30 Tartar soldiers on Agulie's mansion.

In fact, except for a small number of these Tartar soldiers who stood guard and patrolled, were quietly killed, the remaining Tartar soldiers who were still sleeping in other rooms were cut off in their sleep.

Subsequently, Li Sheng found his seal signal from Agulie's study.

With Ah Gulie's Seal Signal Banner and his head, the next thing that Li Sheng and them carried out was even smoother.

Li Sheng took the old soldiers of the White Dragon Army, first changed into the military uniform of the Tartars, and then took Le Yu and them out of Agulie's mansion.

Subsequently, Li Sheng and Le Yu took advantage of the night to control the other two patrols first, and controlled the two Han generals under Le Yu who did not obey his orders.

"Brothers, Agulie is dead, the general of Zhenguo is coming soon, and the days of the Tartars will soon be over.

The general has abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the general of the town, brothers, think about the arrogance of those Tartars on weekdays, they once regarded us as brothers.

We are all Han Chinese, we are a family, and those who are willing to do it with me now will stand on our side, and if they are not willing to do it with us, give up their weapons, and we will keep you safe. ”

These two patrols were originally Le Yu's subordinates, and they were still in awe of Le Yu, plus the head of Ah Gulie that Li Sheng was holding high in his hand at this time.

The White Dragon soldiers and Le Yu's subordinates who surrounded them made them unable to resist one by one, and besides, these soldiers really didn't have much affection for the Tartars.

Soon, there were more than 200 people in the two patrols, two-thirds of whom were willing to follow Leyu, and the remaining one-third laid down their arms.

Li Sheng and Le Yu locked up all the soldiers who had laid down their weapons in a private house to ensure that they would not have an impact on the next action.

In this way, there are more than 250 people under Le Yu at this time, plus the 30 veterans of the White Dragon Army under Li Sheng, such a force has already made Li Sheng's victory in his hands.

Subsequently, Li Sheng used Agulie's order flag to first deceive the 200 Korean soldiers into opening the camp gate, and then captured these Korean soldiers in the barracks.

Originally, Li Sheng planned to lock up all these Korean soldiers, but he didn't know that the leading general of the 200-strong Korean soldiers actually took the initiative to surrender.

"My lord, we have already called back from the king, and we are willing to follow the adult."

Li Sheng looked at the North Korean general who spoke fluent Chinese, showing his loyalty excitedly, and a smile on his face.

This North Korean general is called Li Ping, and his father is the Minister of the Korean Dynasty and an official of the North Korean Tingming faction, and because of this, Li Ping is also interested in the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

Li Sheng's eyes looked to the side, the intelligence officer sent by Gu Xin, seeking his opinion, this person still had some understanding of Li Ping's situation, and whispered a few words in Li Sheng's ear.

"Okay, next, we're going to raid the Tartar camp, and we'll see how you do when the time comes." Li Sheng immediately decided to believe in this North Korean general.

Subsequently, Li Sheng took Le Yu, the Korean general Li Ping, and nearly 600 men and horses into the barracks of the Tartars and Mongols.

Because the remaining more than 100 Tartars all lived in the same barracks as the 600 Mongol soldiers. Li Sheng had no choice but to attack.

At this time, in order to completely win over Mongolia, Huang Taiji proposed 'Manchu and Han families', and the Tatar nobles and Mongolian nobles were frequently marrying.

At the same time, the other servant armies below the Tartar army were also divided into three, six, and nine ranks, and the Mongol soldiers were undoubtedly their most trusted and highest-status.

The second is the Korean soldiers, after Huang Taiji defeated the Joseon and made the Korean king Li Liang surrender, he forced Li Liang to send thousands of Korean soldiers to assist the Tatars in the battle.

And in order to win over his newly recognized little brother and let his generals take great care of the Korean soldiers.

Under the Tartars, the worst treatment is the Han Eight Banners, which cannot be compared with the Mongolian Eight Banners, fighting as cannon fodder, and being oppressed on weekdays.

Because those Tartar soldiers have never completely accepted these traitor soldiers, because they have never been able to erase their biggest identity, that is, Han people.

The enemies of the past, how can they say that they agree with it, and accept it when they say they accept it, even if it is the high-level Tartar who are willing to accept these traitor army for their own interests.

However, it does not mean that the Tartar soldiers below are willing to accept them.

In the eyes of many Tartar generals and soldiers, these cowardly Han soldiers are simply their minions, and they are qualified to sit on an equal footing with them.

Have you ever seen a master and a slave who enjoy the same treatment? Have you ever seen a slave who does not serve his master? Have you ever seen a master who doesn't beat and scold his minions?

It is precisely because of the oppression of these traitor soldiers by the Tartar soldiers on weekdays that Le Yu was able to pull out so many soldiers who were willing to work with him.

Li Sheng was able to recruit these traitor soldiers, but he had no confidence in recruiting Mongolian soldiers at all.

At this time, the Tartars and the Mongols were completely united, the two parties were already community of interests, and the chances of those Mongol soldiers betraying the Tatars were too small.

At the same time, those Mongol soldiers lived in the same barracks as the Tartars, and it was impossible for Li Sheng to recruit the 600 Mongol soldiers without disturbing the Tartars.

Once they are prepared, these 600 Mongol soldiers will resist and it will completely ruin tonight's event.

At this time, Li Sheng's greatest advantage was that he was resolute and calm, and at this time, he decisively made the decision to raid the Tartar and Mongol military camps.

Li Sheng decided to kill the Tartars and these Mongol soldiers together.

The raid went fairly smoothly, facing a surprise attack of more than 600 people led by Li Sheng and Le Yu.

Many sleeping Tartars and Mongol soldiers didn't have time to put on their armor or form a group, so they were rushed in and killed by the White Dragon Army and Le Yu's men.

Some of the Tartars and Mongol soldiers standing guard or patrolling, although they were also fierce, wanted to resist after discovering Li Sheng and them, and buy time for the other Tartars and Mongols in the camp.

However, Li Sheng didn't give these Tartars a chance at all, and the thirty veterans of the White Dragon Army who rushed to the front were all equipped with a short handcuff, which was far away from the Tartars.

And then there was no then, and it was because of this that even if they were discovered by the Tartars, it only took a very short time when they rushed into the Tartars and the Mongol barracks.

After Li Sheng led people to kill the barracks, he personally took the lead and rushed up with more than 600 people and horses.

Half an hour later, more than 500 Tartars and Mongol soldiers in the battalion, of which more than 100 Tatars were all killed, and the remaining 300 Mongol soldiers chose to surrender after failing to resist.

Li Sheng ordered these Mongols to be tied up and locked up in a few houses, and he did not dare to use these Mongol soldiers.

At this time, on the side of the Tartar military camp, the sound of guns and shouts of killing broke out, disturbing the other two traitor armies in Lushun City.

In the city of Arthur, in addition to a thousand Tartars, Mongols and Koreans, there were also a thousand traitor troops under Geng Zhongming, a total of three Han generals.

Le Yu is just one of them, and there are two other Han generals, commanding two other Han armies, totaling 600 people.

Moreover, these two Han generals are not full of resentment towards the Tartars like Le Yu, but they are desperately loyal to the Tartars.

One of the Han generals was extremely loyal to Geng Zhongming, so he would indirectly not betray the Tartars.

And the other Han general, it was completely because of the hind legs of the Jinzhou Tartar general.

is not only willing to be a slave to the Tartar general of the Golden State, but also marries a servant girl given by the Tartar general, which can be said to be a prosperous situation under the Tartars.

In this case, this Han general will not choose to surrender.

Therefore, when these two Han soldiers and horses found out that Li Sheng and Le Yu were anyway, they immediately led troops over to encircle and suppress them.

Even when these two Han generals saw Li Sheng's head held high and knew that the Tartars and the Mongol soldiers had been wiped out, they still did not choose to surrender, but ordered Li Sheng to be killed.

"Damn, these two sluts who are used to being slaves really don't know what to do." Le Yue said angrily.

"No way, some people are born with soft bones and are willing to be slaves, since they have chosen the wrong path, then let them pay.

Rush up, kill them all, and Lushun City will be in hand. Li Sheng walked up to Le Yu and said in a cold voice.

"Kill!"

In the dark night, at this time, the shouting and killing in Lushun City shook the sky, and the two teams fought fiercely.

The two sides are basically the same, and the test at this time is the morale of both sides.

In the end, under the leadership of Li Sheng and the thirty veterans of the White Dragon Army, they have been charging at the forefront, and after a fierce battle, Li Sheng finally defeated these two traitor armies.

Because, when Li Sheng was acting on his side, Gu Xin also took a group of people from the Intelligence Bureau lurking in Lushun and occupied various city gates in Lushun.

Therefore, the two defeated Han generals had no chance to escape from Lushun with the rout, and in the end the two were beheaded by Li Sheng, and the remaining more than 400 soldiers all surrendered.

By noon the next day, when the naval fleet led by Li Zixiao arrived outside the mouth of Lushun, Lushun had already been taken down by Li Sheng.

Li Zixiao did not immediately let the fleet enter the port, but stayed more than ten miles outside the port, and first sent a small force to take a small boat and quietly sailed into the port to investigate the situation.

Soon, the people sent by Li Zixiao came back.

They told Li Zixiao that the Port of Lushun had been taken, and the city and port of Lushun were all under control.

"Haha, Li Sheng, this kid, didn't disappoint me, and ordered the fleet to enter the harbor and let the soldiers prepare to land."

After Li Zixiao heard the news, he laughed, was in a very good mood, and ordered.

At noon on December 25 in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zixiao took 8,000 soldiers and sailed into Port Arthur in Liaodong by warship.

In order to get rid of the Han army's desire to rebel again, Li Sheng ordered the families of more than 200 Tartars in the city to be arrested after occupying Lushun.

Then, let these traitor soldiers kill them with their own hands, whether they are men and women, or old and weak women and children, they have not let go.

Li Sheng's approach was strongly opposed by Gu Xin, but Li Sheng still insisted on doing so.

After Li Zixiao arrived in Lushun, Gu Xin impeached Li Sheng to Li Zixiao as soon as possible, thinking that Li Sheng's move was too inappropriate and not in line with Wang Shi's actions.

When Li Zixiao learned the news, he frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Of course, Li Zixiao's current identity will definitely not give such an order again, but he has no intention of punishing Li Sheng for this kind of practice.

Because, Li Zixiao didn't think that Li Sheng had done anything wrong, and the war was originally cruel, bloody, and unscrupulous.

Those Tartars' families are killed and killed, and there is nothing to be particularly sympathized with.

In the Ming Dynasty, I didn't see you come out to sympathize with those criminals who raided their homes and exterminated their clans at every turn, and now you should be sympathetic to the enemy?

In Li Zixiao's view, ancient faith was also influenced too deeply by the Confucian ideas of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Is there still less people in the Ming Dynasty slaughtered by the Tartars?

Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about this land.

Ten years ago, when the Tartars conquered Phi Island, they slaughtered the island because the Ming army on the island insisted on not surrendering.

In the end, the Tartars killed more than 10,000 Ming troops on the island, and the ordinary people on the island were slaughtered as many as 40,000 or 50,000.

In the end, only more than 300 sailors remained, and more than 3,000 women and children remained.

Senseless massacres like the Tartars, on the one hand, were to vent their anger, and on the other hand, they were not to deter the Ming army and stabilize the territory they had just occupied.

Sometimes, in war, slaughter is also a means to win.

It's just that some slaughtered the soldiers, and some slaughtered the people.

Some are simply to vent their anger, while others have other purposes.

Back then, it was precisely because Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers after winning the Battle of Changping that Zhao directly suffered a great loss of vitality, and since then he has been in a slump and has lost the ability to compete for hegemony with Qin.

Otherwise, according to the rules of war at the time of the Warring States period, the victorious side often had to put back the surrendered soldiers, and then we would continue to fight.

There are not many soldiers who actually die in the war.

Think about it, if Bai Qi let go of the 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State back then, and let them return to Zhao State, it will not take a year for Zhao State to pull out an elite army again, and then compete with Qin State for the world.

You must know that at that time, the population of Zhao State was only a few million, and the 400,000 soldiers were all young and strong men.

Without these 400,000 young and strong men, it would be impossible for Zhao Guo to raise such an army, because there were no so many young and strong men in their country.

Unless, if Zhao Guo is given another fifty years of recuperation, he may be able to slowly recover his vitality, but the Qin State will give you this opportunity!

Bai Qi chose to kill in a pit, once and for all, and completely ended the endless war that followed.

Although Bai Qi's methods are cruel and he is called a 'butcher' by many people, it has to be said that people's strategic vision is long-term.

Therefore, even if Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, it would not prevent him from being the title of a generation of military gods.
