Originally, on the way here, Qi Wei and Zhao Zilong still had a headache, and when they arrived in Zhuozhou, they should choose the Tartar team to start.

In the end, they decided to meet Han Tong first and listen to Han Tong's opinion.

After all, at this time, if you want to talk about the general of the White Dragon Army, who knows the enemy situation in the Zhuozhou area at this time, it is of course Han Tong.

After the two of them led the army and found Han Tong to join him, Qi Wei and Zhao Zilong learned from Han Tong's mouth.

At this time, there were three main groups of people in the Zhuozhou Tartar Brigade, and there were dozens of small groups of people.

Just when Qi Wei, Han Tong and Zhao Zilong were discussing that they should start with the Tartar brigade first, Dai Jun brought back the news of the fall of Zhuozhou.

Qi Wei was happy about this, because it saved them the strength to look for Tartars everywhere, and at this time, they only needed to go straight to Zhuozhou City to kill them, and there was nothing wrong at all.

"How could the Tartars take Zhuozhou City so quickly, didn't General Han say just now that there are more than 7,000 defenders in Zhuozhou City, and the city defense is complete.

The Tartars had also tried to storm before, but failed. A few days have passed this time, and Zhuozhou City has been broken? ”

Zhao Zilong raised his doubts.

"According to the reports of other scouts under my command, the Tartars entered Zhuozhou City the night before, and it seems that someone took the initiative to open the city gate in the city and let the Tartar army enter the city.

By the early hours of this morning, the fighting in the city was not over.

At the beginning, there were not many Tartars who entered Zhuozhou City, but they mastered a city gate.

In the following day, thousands of surrounding Tartars received news one after another, and rushed towards Zhuozhou, and then Zhuozhou completely fell.

The defenders of the city also put up a fierce resistance, but they were still powerless. Han Tong said.

"It's a dead traitor again, there's no need to discuss it, let's immediately order all the people and kill Zhuozhou.

Let's go out for the first battle this time, and we will choose Zhuozhou. Zhao Zilong said angrily.

"Yes, you can." Qi Wei nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then please ask General Qi to give an order, we are all cavalry, and we can kill Zhuozhou in an hour at the earliest."

"When we arrive in Zhuozhou, the Tartars will definitely find us in advance, and they will definitely send cavalry out of the city to stop us.

When the time comes, the Tartars will go out of the city to obstruct our men and horses, and all of them will be handed over to my fire cavalry to solve.

Lao Han and Zilong, you will lead your respective cavalry and break into the city of Zhuozhou at the fastest speed. ”

Qi Wei admonished.

"Understood."

Thundered!

Immediately, the three groups led by Qi Wei, Han Tong and Zhao Zilong, totaling more than 8,000 people, turned into a torrent and rushed towards Zhuozhou City.

At this time, Zhuozhou City has already turned into a hell on earth.

Just the night before yesterday, a Ming military captain in the city took the initiative to mutiny, and took advantage of the vigil to open the east gate of Zhuozhou City, leading 2,000 Tartar soldiers outside the city into the city.

The following day, the army of Tartars, who had received news from the surrounding area, swarmed in, and Zhuozhou was completely captured by the Tartars.

By this morning, the Tartar army that entered Zhuozhou basically wiped out all the rebellious Ming soldiers in the city, and captured more than 3,000 people.

The main general of the Tartars, Haziye, ordered that all the 3,000 surrendered Ming soldiers be beheaded.

Because of their fierce resistance, which had caused many casualties to the Tartars, Haziye became angry and ordered the prisoners to be killed to vent his anger.

For these Tartars, what 'the two countries do not fight and do not kill each other', what 'do not kill prisoners', what 'do not kill women and children', are all.

For them, do they need a reason to kill, and if they are not happy, they will kill!

For a group of wild boar skins who have just come out of the mountains and forests, the code of civilization has no effect on them at all.

The brutality of the Tartars is basically no different from the original history.

At the same time, the Tartar lord Haziye also ordered that all women, children, children, and young men in the city be arrested and detained.

The only people they don't want are the elderly who are over 50 years old, or the sick and disabled.

At this time, the Tartars were in dire need of population, and those young and strong people were captured outside the customs, which were ready-made laborers, and they were needed for farming and mining.

And those women, needless to say, they are more important because they can have children.

As for the children, in a few years, when they grow up, they are ready-made slaves, of course, they cannot be spared, only the old and the sick and disabled, which are useless for the tartars.

In the same way, when the Tartars arrested people, they did not forget to loot the government offices in the city, and the money, grain, livestock, etc. of the ordinary people's homes were also left behind.

The policy of Zhuozhou City of Tartar is to 'seize the light', 'grab the light', and the 'killing' of the resistant, it is one short of 'burning it all'.

But these Tartar generals thought that these cities in the pass would be theirs sooner or later, and they would definitely enter the pass in a few years.

Therefore, these cities will be all owned by them in the future, how can they be burned down, don't think that these Tartars have a good heart.

"Woo woo, don't hit my father, mother, I'm afraid!"

In a common people's house in the city, two Tartar soldiers rushed in and directly arrested an adult man.

The adult man tried to resist, but was powerless in the face of the Tartar's steel knife, and after being beaten by two Tartars, he was taken away with a rope tied to his hands.

As for the little girl who had been crying beside her, as well as a middle-aged woman, when she finally saw that her head of the house was caught, she could only accept her fate and leave with her.

Such a situation is happening everywhere in the entire city of Zhuozhou at this time, and this is still good, there is no bloodshed.

But in the vast majority of cases, in the face of the capture of the Tartars, those people will resist, and these Tartar soldiers do not have so much patience.

But all those who resisted, they all stabbed them over, and they wanted to use their blood to tell the other rebels that whoever resisted would die.

In the process of arresting and looting people, these Tartar soldiers did not forget to show their beastly side and rape some beautiful women.

Killings, looting, and rape are happening everywhere in the city of Zhuozhou.

Someone was killed every moment, and screams, weeping, and wailing resounded in every corner of Zhuozhou City.

And in this moment of crisis, some former Ming officials in the city, or wealthy gentry, took the initiative to give away their property.

Even the women in the family flattered those Tartar generals and hooked up with the Tartar generals.

"Hey, everyone listens, everyone who comes in is lined up, and whoever walks around will be killed."

At this time, in the large courtyard of a wealthy family surnamed Shen, which was once the largest in Zhuozhou City, there was a steady stream of Tartar soldiers around them, and all the people they captured were sent here for temporary detention.

And the Shen family, which was once the richest family in Zhuozhou, had already taken refuge in the Tartars at this time, and the Shen family ordered the children of the family to assist the Tartars in managing the captured people.

For this reason, the Shen family offered five of the most beautiful women in the family to the Tartar lord Haziye, as well as a full 300,000 taels of silver.

They used their children and the wealth they had accumulated for half a lifetime to exchange the Tartars for the opportunity to be their lackeys in exchange for future glory and wealth.

Now, a child of the Shen family was yelling loudly at the women and children sent in by the Tartars.

Then, a few children of the Shen family will use ropes to tie up these women and children one by one, and then string them together to facilitate management and prevent them from escaping.

And the Tartars also need to be like the Shen family, the renegade of the Han family, to help the looting operations in the city of Zhuozhou, these Han people manage these people prisoners, which is more convenient than their Tartars.

"Haha, this wine is good, the food is delicious, and the woman is good, it's enough to be smart."

In the hall of the Shen family, at this time, a middle-aged tartar in armor was holding a woman, laughing, and the table was full of wine and food, which was extremely luxurious.

This person is Haziye, the chief general of the Tartar army who entered Zhuozhou, and at this time there are more than a dozen Ming officials from the major gentry families in Zhuozhou, or the Ming officials who have rebelled.

"General, what did he say?"

Shen Bing, the head of the Shen family, sat aside at this time and asked tremblingly.

"The general said that the wine and food you arranged are good, and the women are also good."

A general of the Han Eight Banners next to him glanced at Shen Bing and replied.

"That's, that's, for the general, it's all the best wine and food, the best woman." Shen Bing's face was flattering, and he patted his ass.

“%￥#@%……”

Haziye muttered in Tatar language again, and said a lot to Shen Bing and the others.

"The general said, you are very good, those who know the times are Junjie, and it is the most correct thing for you to take refuge in our Qing Dynasty, and you will be rich and glorious in the future.

When the people in the city are almost caught, you can follow our army and serve our Qing Dynasty from now on. ”

"This ......"

After Shen Bing and the others heard the words of this translator, their faces also showed struggle.

Originally, Shen Bing, the wealthy gentry of Zhuozhou, planned to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, and sent these Tartars, and after the Tartars left, they could still continue to dominate Zhuozhou.

What should I do if the people have been arrested, for these gentry and wealthy households, it is just tens of thousands of people, and it doesn't matter what they do if they are arrested.

When the Tartars were gone, they went out to bring back some of the homeless, and soon there would be many people in the city working for them.

They didn't actually think about it, and followed the Tartars, but now that Haziye has spoken, they dare to say no!

Including Shen Bing, seven or eight Zhuozhou gentry family owners, after looking at each other, they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, and also understood that they had no choice.

Immediately, Shen Bing and other wealthy gentry family owners immediately came out, knelt down to Haziye, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to serve my dogs and horses." ”

As for the Ming officials who were present who had taken refuge in the Tartars, needless to say, they had long been ready to follow the Tartars with all their hearts.

"Good."

Haziye saw Shen Bing and them take the initiative to kneel down, and said with a smile, but the eyes that looked at Shen Bing and the others were full of disdain and contempt.

If it weren't for Huang Taiji's previous order, they would have adjusted their policy towards the Han people again, preparing to absorb more Han people and use them for their use.

Haziye didn't bother to use these Han people, in the eyes of their Tartars, the Han people were slaves, and there were too many of these slaves, and some of them had to be killed.

At this time, Huang Taiji absorbed the Han people who were willing to take refuge in them and used them for their use, but treated the Han people who rebelled against them, then one word, kill!

At this time, in Zhuozhou City, nearly 10,000 Tartars have gathered.

In fact, the real Tartar soldiers in it are only 2,000 men and horses of the Tartar Banner and 1,000 men and horses of the Tartar Blue Banner.

As for the rest, all of them were Mongols and Han soldiers, accounting for more than two-thirds.

In the city of Zhuozhou, not all the wealthy gentry and officials are soft bones.

Some big families in the city refused to work for the Tartars, and some officials who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty even took their families and remnants of the officers and soldiers to resist.

As the saying goes, 'When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds', this sentence is the most suitable way to describe the situation in Zhuozhou at this time.

In the face of the butcher's knife of the Tartars, many gentry officials such as the Shen family chose to grovel and be dogs for the Tartars in exchange for a way to live.

But in the same way, there are also people who choose to resist to the end and never give in.

But more ordinary people, they can't resist like heroes, but they are also unwilling to die for these Tartars who killed his family and destroyed his homeland.

They just want to live, and for the sake of their families, they can only endure.

For those who rebelled against the Tartars, they were bloodily suppressed and slaughtered by the Tartars, whether it was men, women, women and children, children, and the elderly.

At this time, Zhuozhou guarded Zhang Zhenguo's mansion, which had become a human purgatory at this time, and more than 90 members of the Zhang family were all slaughtered by the Tartars.

Just because, after the Tartars entered the city, Zhang Zhenguo, the garrison of Zhuozhou, led thousands of officers and soldiers to fight fiercely with the Tartars for a whole day and night, causing a lot of casualties to the Tartars.

In the end, Zhang Zhenguo died in battle, and Tatar did not let his family go.

And the ones who did it were just a few Tartars who were assigned to the Shiku, leading dozens of Tartar soldiers and more than 300 traitor soldiers.

These soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty under the Tartars, more than ten years ago, and a few years ago, they were all the people of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are driven by the Tartars to slaughter their compatriots.

They can't help it, these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they are all carefully selected by the Tartars, and they are all qualified to be elected to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty if they have families outside the customs.

Those Han people who had no family members outside the Guan, outside the Guan, they could only become miners or farm for the Tartars, and it was impossible for the Tartars to be elected to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

It was in this way that the Tartars persecuted these soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, and they could only work for them and did not dare to defect, otherwise their families outside the gate would be miserable.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

"Huh? Where did the cry come from? ”

Lu Tong was a sentry commander of the Tartar Han Army, and he participated in the massacre of Zhang Zhenguo's family in Zhuozhou.

At this time, when Lu Tong walked to a dry well in the backyard of Zhang's house, he faintly heard the crying of a baby.

"The old road seems to have come from this dry well."

A companion next to Lu Tong, who was also a sentry commander of the Han army with red flags, looked at Lu Tong at this time and spoke.

The two men came together to the dry well, which was covered with stones.

The two of them lay next to each other, and sure enough, they heard the faint cry of a baby from below.

"There are people under this dry well, at least one baby, most of them are the orphans of the guard, old road, what should I do?"

Yan Qing looked at Lu Tong with a solemn face and asked.
