Chapter 42 The Slave Chief Confers the Head
These hundreds of Jiannu are in white flags, and they are really strong enough, only 600 people meet a cavalry battalion of the Yu family army, after first suffering a short shot from the cavalry of the Yu family army, more than half of them have been killed and wounded, and the remaining less than 300 people are actually stunned in the torrent of cavalry, holding on to the last person, no one escapes, including Dolgon, all died on the spot.
But before they were slaughtered, they also caused a lot of damage to the cavalry of the Yu family's army, less than three hundred foot armor, they actually killed and injured nearly three hundred cavalry of the Yu family's army, almost a one-to-one exchange ratio, which is a unique brilliant record in the chaos of the infantry against the cavalry, not to mention the cavalry of the Yu family army who are armed to the teeth, they can achieve such a result, it is enough to be proud.
The armor on Dolgon's body is obviously different from other Jiannu, at first glance he is a slave chieftain, and his status must be very high, so after Dolgon was killed, the soldiers of the Yu family army also respected him and did not destroy his corpse, so he let his body be filled with spears and stand on the battlefield.
Yu Xiaotian had never seen Dolgon, but when he arrived at this place of battle, he still saw Dolgon's corpse at first sight, rode his horse to the front of Dolgon's corpse, looked at Dolgon silently, sighed slightly, and said: "No matter who this person is, he deserves the respect that we as soldiers!" Collect his body and find out who he is! ”
Soon his guards captured several slave captives and told them to identify their bodies, and when they saw Dorgon's body, they all fell to their knees and wept, and identified Dolgon on the spot.
Yu Xiaotian didn't expect that Dolgon would personally leave the broken queen, and even gave up the war horse, only led hundreds of people in white flag and armor, and stayed after the final break for other Jiannu, so he had already made up his mind to die, and did not leave any way back for himself at all.
So when Yu Xiaotian heard the news, he was also taken aback, and immediately turned his horse back, personally examined Dolgon's body, and when he picked up the spears inserted in Dolgon's body, and took off Dolgon's armor, Yu Xiaotian found that Dolgon had a total of more than 20 wounds of all sizes, including wounds from gunfire shots, knife wounds, and more than ten transparent holes, all of which were stabbed by riding guns.
In the torrent of cavalry, even if a person is wearing heavy armor and can block some killings, but it is difficult to do so, it can be seen that Dolgon is indeed a fierce general, and he can also be called a conscientious general, when the army failed, he bravely chose to face failure, and chose to be brave for his own mistakes, and would rather die on the battlefield than be a coward who escaped with his tail between his legs.
Therefore, although Yu Xiaotian hated these Jiannu Tartars, he still gave due respect to Dolgon's heroic expression.
He ordered someone to carefully clean Dolgon's body, originally he wanted to order Dolgon to be buried on the spot, but after thinking about it, it doesn't seem appropriate to do so, even if this Dolgon is dead, it still has a lot of value, and even if he sets up a monument for him to bury, it is estimated that in the future, the Ming people who hate him will dig up the grave, and the bones will be scattered.
So instead of burying him, it was better to let him continue to exert some residual heat, so after discussing it with his subordinates, he immediately came up with a solution.
Yu Xiaotian knows very well what the court thinks of him now, even if he fights Jiannu to the death today and successfully defeats the Jiannu army, the court will only be more jealous of him, and will never change his mind about this, regard him as a loyal minister, and he really has no intention of being a loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, if the news reached Jingshi, Yu Xiaotian could predict that Chongzhen would immediately try his best to charge him with a major crime of rebellion, and force him to either rebel or lead his troops back to Fujian.
So before that, he must first find a way to attack the court and win more popular support, and at the moment, Dorgon's corpse is undoubtedly a very good item that can be borrowed.
So after consulting with his advisers, he immediately sent three squads to go on the road overnight, two squads to cover, and a squad carrying Dolgon's body crossed the blockade line of the Ming army and sent Dolgon's body to Jingshi Zhuojie.
Once the road was intercepted by the Ming army, he ordered his subordinates to hand over Dolgon's body to them, and also hand over his report to the other party to ensure his own safety and withdrawal.
However, the three cavalry squads still completed the task smoothly, went out day and night, and took advantage of the night to hurry, and finally sent Dolgon's body to the capital.
Chongzhen was busy buttoning Yu Xiaotian's hat, and he just put down the edict announcing the world with a printed and distributed it, and ordered people to post notices around Beijing, and sent people to send the edict to all parts of the country to circulate, and also sent someone to send an edict to Yu Xiaotian, ordering Yu Xiaotian to be relieved of his military post on the spot, waiting for the drop, and ordering Yu Jiajun to lay down his arms on the spot and accept the reorganization and placement of the official army.
Of course, he also knew very well that Yu Xiaotian would definitely not act according to his edict, but it was enough for him to do so, the king let the ministers die and the ministers had to die, he was the emperor, he had the final say, whether Yu Xiaotian listened or not was his business, and if he didn't listen, he would be disrespectful to the decree, and he would be a rebellious minister, and the charge would be confirmed.
However, he had just sent out the edict here, and the people in the Beijing division had not had time to post it, and the person sent to deliver the edict had just left Beijing, so Yu Xiaotian actually sent someone to send Dolgon's body to the Beijing division, and he also swaggered through the city and reached the east gate of the Beijing division.
Chongzhen was stunned at that time, what did this surnamed Yu do! It was almost accurate everywhere that his thoughts were calculated, as soon as he made a move on his side, Yu Xiaotian took the first step and sent Dolgon's body to the Jingshi, and his edict had not yet been posted, and the news that Dolgon was beheaded on the spot by the Yu family army spread throughout the Jingshi last night.
At first, the people in the Beijing division only knew the news of Yu Xiaotian's Yu Jiajun's victory in Tianjin, and only knew that Yu's army had completely defeated the entire Jiannu army, but they didn't know that even the slave chief Dolgon, who led his troops into the customs this time, was actually beheaded by Yu's army.
Now I heard the news that the slave chief Dolgon was awarded the head on the spot, more than 300,000 people in the Beijing division suddenly boiled again, and overnight in the city of Beijing, the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere, making it like the New Year, and after a few days, the shops selling firecrackers in the Beijing division were announced to be sold out, and some people took the opportunity to increase the price, and made a small fortune.
Everyone is looking forward to it, looking forward to the Yu family army to send the head of the slave chief Dolgon to the Beijing Division, and then parade the streets to boast, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty have also raised their eyebrows and breathed a sigh, how many years, the Ming people have not heard such good news, and it is said that this Dolgon is still a prince of what Jiannu, and his status is only under the current Jiannu chief emperor Huang Taiji.
If anyone makes such a meritorious achievement, I don't know how the saint will reward him today! It is estimated that the reward of 10,000 taels of silver is light, at least it must be done for a first-class pillar country!
Early the next morning, they heard the news that the soldiers of the Yu family army had sent Dolgon's body to the east gate of the Jingshi, and it was now outside the east gate.
So as soon as the common people heard this, many good people immediately ran towards the east gate, wanting to see with their own eyes what this slave chief Dolgon looked like, whether it was like the legend, with green fangs and ghosts.
At this time, the officials of Shuntianfu went to the street with a gong and began to post notices everywhere on the street, and it was actually an edict issued by the imperial court saint himself.
Some people who knew words walked up to watch it, and at first they thought that it must be the news that the court heard, Longyan Dayue, it was not good to tell the world and celebrate the achievements of the Yu family's army, but under this look, everyone's eyeballs fell to the ground.
It turned out that this notice to the world was completely contrary to what they thought, the saint actually counted more than a dozen major sins of Yu Xiaotian, saying that Yu Xiaotian was a traitor, and the fundamental purpose of going north this time was not to fight any Jiannu, but to bewitch the people, raise a rebellion, and go straight to Beijing, wanting to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Therefore, such a rebel and thief, everyone will be punished, and tell the world that you must not believe in the demagogy of Xiaotian and go along with it.
As soon as this notice was posted, the people of the city immediately spread the word, and it was immediately chaotic, and the common people really couldn't understand it, this Yu Xiaotian was obviously a loyal minister, and he came all the way from Fujian to Qinwang, and fought alone, and fought alone in the Tianjin Weili battle of the 100,000 Jiannu army, and successfully defeated the enemy, and the 100,000 Jiannu army was disintegrated, and even the slave chief Dolgon was beheaded by them.
But if the court doesn't reward it, why don't you turn your face and don't recognize people, and directly condemn people as traitors? If people want to rebel, why bother to fight to the death against Jiannu in Tianjin? This thing obviously doesn't make sense! How can such a thing be in this world?
The common people don't have the consciousness of the emperor of the dynasty and those officials who are full of flowers, they must not think too deeply, they only recognize a clear truth, who fights Jiannu, who is a hero, who is a loyal minister.
They all watched it, so many officials and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty gathered around the Beijing Division, but after Jiannu entered the customs, what did these officers and soldiers do? They hid in the camp all day long, allowing Jiannu to go straight into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty for more than 2,000 miles, attacking the city, burning and looting, those officials and generals almost turned a blind eye, and finally got out of the Lu army gate, daring to lead the troops against the Jiannu army, but they were forced to death by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian.
Seeing that after Jiannu was plundered, he had to take a lot of goods and so many people of the Ming Dynasty to kill out of the pass, but no one in the official army went to stop the Jiannu army and save those people.
