The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 314 Cleaning
There is Yong'an Gate in the north of Jinzhou, Cheng'en Gate in the south, Chunhe Gate in the east, and Ninghai Gate in the west.

The four city gates have gate towers, and there are twenty or thirty cannons at the top of the city, half of which are Hongyi cannons captured from Ming Dynasty.

On the way to flee to Jinzhou, Nahai recruited hundreds of young and middle-aged slaves and took them with him. When he arrived in Jinzhou, he immediately dispatched a small team of thirty riders under his command to go out of the city to inform the villages with a radius of dozens of miles, ordering his tribe to go forward immediately. Come to Golden State to help defend.

In order not to repeat the changes that happened in Fuzhou in Jinzhou, Nahai immediately began to identify the Han people and Yehe's Jurchen in the city.

Where can the barbarians have any good way to distinguish who is loyal to the Dajin Kingdom?Who is plotting wrongdoing?
Suspicious Nahai came to the moment when life and death were at stake. At this time, he didn't care about his master's repeated orders not to kill the prisoners, but to kill the surrendered Han people.

Those Jiannu who escaped from Fuzhou still had lingering fears. They felt uneasy when they saw any Han people, so the generals of the Houjin Army in Jinzhou City held a meeting on August [-] to plot.

Nahai's official position is the largest. He first explained how the Ming army captured Fuzhou, emphasizing that the city's sudden attack was inseparable from the large number of Han people in the city who fought back.

Nahai went to Fuzhou to catch the autumn harvest. After leaving Jinzhou, the chief general here was Jialaerzhenman Darhan. He was a slave nobleman and belonged to Zhenghuangqi.

He first said: "The chaos in Fuzhou cannot be repeated in Jinzhou. We should act first and kill all the Ahas who are plotting wrongdoing."

Khamoudani wondered: "It's easy to act first, what should we do if the Khan asks us later? The Khan has repeatedly ordered us not to kill prisoners, and not to massacre the Han people indiscriminately."

Na Hai said bitterly: "I am worried, so I suffered a great loss in Fuzhou. Those Nikans are too hateful. If we save the benevolence of women, Jinzhou may be coerced from the inside out."

Hamdani was silent for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, we can only kill people, but it is difficult to control whoever is killed and who is left behind!"

Ma Guangpu, who participated in the conspiracy, quickly said: "It can't be like this. The Jinzhou gunners and gunmen are all Han soldiers. These people have followed the Ma family for many years and are loyal to the Dajin Kingdom. How can they be beheaded for no reason?"

Nahai comforted Ma Guangpu and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. I have already made up my mind about who will kill who will be killed. The Han army under your command is the main force to defend the city. Naturally, I will not treat you badly, and I will give you preferential treatment in the future."

After the executioners discussed, the bloody massacre began immediately, and many Han people were beheaded for no reason.

In two days in Jinzhou City, thousands of Han males and dozens of Yehe Jurchen young men were killed. This is not all the Han Chinese and Yehe Jurchen males.

Nahai is very vicious, he hastily identified the Han bannermen and the coated servants who were going to stay, and told them clearly that if they want to survive, they must kill Ahha who he thinks is unreliable.

Without exception, these Han people have followed their masters for more than three years, and most of them who are considered untrustworthy are the new Aha who came back from the capital of the Ming Dynasty last spring.

Nahai thought that it was the Banners and Packers who were in charge of Xin Aha who had killed their own compatriots in full view, so they would never dare to betray the Golden State easily, and would stick to the Golden State with their masters.

It is also true that most of those who killed their compatriots were from Liaodong. They have been enslaved for too long and have become slavish, and some are even the second generation of slaves.

They followed their masters to be stained with the blood of the Han people, and learned that they had successfully defended Jinzhou. All the coats who participated in the defense of the city could raise the flag, and all the bannermen could stand on their own to reward a woman. Everyone was determined.

Ma Guangpu had five or six hundred gunners, gunmen, and gunners of the Han army under Ma Guangpu's command. Surprisingly, these people were rewarded with two taels of silver and five buckets of wheat if they were not killed.

In a few days, under Nahai's bloody rule, Jinzhou cobbled together a garrison force of 9000 people, and Nahai organized them into the "Three Armies".

The main army is composed of [-] young and middle-aged Eight Banners children. All of them have riding skills and are capable of opening the city gate and lowering the suspension bridge to complete a surprise attack.

A city defense army of less than 40 was formed with a thousand and a few hundred young and middle-aged Han soldiers, bannermen, and Baoyi, plus more than [-] Eight Banners children and elderly people over [-] years old.

They belonged to the infantry and did not need to be able to ride and fight. Jiannu could shoot arrows. The Han army could fire cannons and shoot guns.

There are more than 12 slave women and more than half a hundred elderly people with children under the age of [-]. Their focus is on service, carrying supplies for the city defense, delivering meals to the city guards, and so on.

After Jinzhou went through the Nahai Great Cleansing, the untrusted Han men were all decapitated, and the possibility of internal mutiny was ruled out. Now the Houjin army is hurrying to strengthen the city defense.

Nahai is confident to stick to Jinzhou, because there are more than 2000 shi of grain here, and after massacring nearly [-] people, the total population is less than [-].

In the first half of the offensive and defensive battle, in order to reduce food consumption, the next step is to consider killing horses and killing about [-] Han women. After emergency treatment, Jinzhou’s food and grass persisted for more than a year without any problems.

After taking Fuzhou, the "Red Banner Army" was not in a hurry to rush to Jinzhou. At this time, tens of thousands of people were working together to digest the fruits of victory.

The cavalry has set up dozens of outposts, half of which are for reconnaissance in the north. Since more than half of the reinforcements sent by Gaizhou have been killed, only a few sentry horses have appeared in the north of Fuzhou. Every time they approach Fuzhou, they will suffer losses. Therefore, the frequency of occurrence is getting smaller and smaller.

With the observation post using the telescope, the probability of the "Red Banner Army" being suddenly attacked by the enemy is reduced to zero, so Huang Han boldly let the soldiers and civilians return to the warehouse.

The results of the battle are still expanding. When the "Red Banner Army" wiped out the villages and towns around Fuzhou, hundreds of young and middle-aged slaves were killed, and thousands of old and weak women and children died.

In the conscience of heaven and earth, the "Red Banner Army" is a regular army, and it is impossible for them to do such insane and evil things as massacring women and children.

The massacre of the old, the weak, women and children really has nothing to do with the great, glorious, and correct "Red Banner Army". Those bad things are done by temporary workers. These people need to be educated and raise their awareness.

Temporary workers generally refer to the more than [-] Han people liberated from Fuzhou, and about [-] Ahas who were rescued again by raiding towns and villages in the next three days.

Some of these people wanted to kill Jiannu women and children to avenge their bitter hatred, and some deliberately killed a Jiannu to stain their hands with blood in order to show their loyalty to the Ming army.

Now the [-] soldiers who accompanied the army had three or five subordinates under their own management, which directly led to the increase of three or four times the labor force of the army, and the number reached tens of thousands.
