The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 374 Killing Contest

In order to cut off the possibility of Shang Kexi and Mao Chenglu surrendering and becoming slaves, Huang Han deliberately created an opportunity to arrange for them to kill the prisoners, and even booed with a group of Dongjiang town generals to see who would be killed by a hundred people.

This is Huang Han's bad idea. Let Shang Kexi and Mao Chenglu have a captive killing competition. Cutting captives in half is an effective kill. Steel pulley bow.

Shang Kexi lost miserably in the archery competition with Huang Han last time. The reason is because Huang Han has a magic bow. Now that he has obtained the title of "Hundred People Killing" he will get this treasure, Shang Kexi showed wolf-like eyes.

Huang Han's original intention was to make Shang Kexi and Mao Chenglu do more unrighteous acts, and spread their notoriety for wantonly slaughtering the slaves and captives, so that it would be impossible for them to surrender to the slaves after being hated by the Jin army.

Unexpectedly, many generals in Dongjiang Town wanted to win the stainless steel pulley bow. Those who thought that their military strength was no less than Mao Chenglu, and those who were gratifying all asked to participate in the killing competition, and the number of applicants reached more than a dozen.

When Mao Chenglu learned that the prize was actually a magic weapon, his enthusiasm was unprecedented, and he clamored on the spot that "a hundred people beheaded" must be him, and those who are not convinced can come to the competition.

The news of the killing contest spread instantly, and opinions were divided. Liu Zhilun, Jin Sheng, Zheng Xiaowen, Gao Youmou and other civil officials all hid, because they were scholar-bureaucrats who could not stand at the scene of the atrocity and let it go, so they chose to avoid it.

Fang Zhenghua immediately rushed over to watch the excitement, he was so bloodthirsty that he wanted to end up participating in the competition!Li Ruolian took Jin Yiwei to be the referee, because the number of prisoners was not enough for a dozen generals to kill a hundred first in the competition.

In the first round, a knockout match was adopted to see who could cut ten slaves in half at the fastest speed, and two winners were selected for the final showdown.

Even though Jiannu were all murderers without batting an eyelid, many people cried for their fathers and mothers in the face of being massacred, and the killings in different ways.

Seeing the bright general wielding a sharp knife and ax like a wolf like a tiger, counting "one, two, three..." His companions turned into two in response, and Jiannu, who had reached the extreme fear, howled like ghosts one by one, following Ying Xiao and Jian Xiao are almost the same.

At this time, Jiannu was in a trance, and seemed to have temporarily forgotten the fear and pain, and just stared straight ahead with wide, empty eyes, and made a strange noise like a beast from his mouth.

The monk Mao Chenglu is really fierce. Under the care of the referee, he eliminated many opponents and entered the final. Amidst the shouts of thousands of soldiers and civilians, Mao Chenglu took the lead in the final and won by a slight advantage of two heads. It's gratifying.

This kind of bloody game is pleasing to the eye and full of blood and excitement, and thousands of soldiers and civilians who were lucky enough to watch it on the scene talked about it for a lifetime.

From then on, Mao Chenglu and Shang Kexi’s murderous reputation spread throughout Liaodong and Nine Borders. The hero who killed 110 slaves in one day made many Han people give their thumbs up. Make "one hundred and eight".

When this news reached the ears of Hong Gang at the end of the year, the chieftain was so furious that he swore to God on the spot that one day he would capture Mao Chenglu and Shang Kexi alive and then shatter their bones and ashes to comfort the hundreds of compatriots who were maliciously slaughtered.

The complete annihilation of the enemy in Jinzhou means the end of the battle in southern Liaoning. This battle lasted for more than three months, and the casualties reached more than [-] soldiers and civilians.

Fortunately, there were medical soldiers who spared no effort in the treatment. Fortunately, Huang Han was mentally prepared to stockpile a large amount of alcohol, gauze, and medicine, and the mortality rate was not high.

Today, three to four thousand soldiers and civilians have been confirmed dead in battle, and hundreds of wounded and sick people may die, accounting for [-]% of the total. More than a thousand soldiers and civilians have been disabled due to injuries.

Shenshuying and Jinyiwei lost more than [-]% of their troops, more than half of them were killed, and the number was close to one hundred.

The actual loss of the "Red Banner Army" was more than 200 soldiers and civilians. Among them, less than half of them became martyrs, close to [-] people, and more than [-] soldiers died in battle, including more than [-] cavalry.

Huang Han did not falsely report the losses, but adopted the spring and autumn style of writing, counting all the soldiers who died in the chaotic war as laborers, and reported the number of casualties as small as three thousand and half of the deaths.

Dongjiang Town's losses were more than double that of the "Red Banner Army", reaching six to seven thousand casualties, two thousand soldiers killed in battle, and one thousand laborers.

When the results were counted, the generals of Dongjiang Town felt that it was easy to win. The casualty rate compared with the number of beheads was the lowest since Daming played against the Golden Army in Liaodong.

All the gold, silver and treasures in Jinzhou City were confiscated. Liu Zhilun, the supervisor, knew that the soldiers who had done meritorious service were eagerly looking forward to it, and he didn't want to have long nights and dreams.

Due to the large number of head rewards, the remaining silver is limited, and the soldiers' general rewards are only three taels of silver.

This time, none of the generals of Dongjiang Town had any objections. They all knew that the big time would be to wait until the imperial court rewarded them with silver.

Six to seven thousand men were killed, including more than [-] young and middle-aged men. The delivery of the Jinzhou victory memorial to the capital will definitely cause a sensation in the court and the public. Liu Zhilun is not in a hurry to write the victory report this time, he wants to discuss post-war matters with the generals.

Because Huang Han talked with Liu Zhilun many times at Bingzhu night these days, the two sometimes simply lived in the same yurt with the guards to make do, Huang Han planned how he planned to manage the area from the southern foot of Dahei Mountain in Jinzhou to Lushunkou Liu Zhilun looked yearning when he heard the truth about the country and land.

Liu Zhilun is going to coordinate with Dongjiang Town. It is best to hand over both Jinzhou and Lushunkou to the "Red Banner Army" for management. With Huang Han's strong army stationed on the front line of Jinzhou, Jianshou will have trouble sleeping and eating. Dongjiang Town can take advantage of this It is a good opportunity to restore Yizhou Tuntian again.

After all, Phi Island is close to Yizhou and it is convenient to land, and you can go back and forth several times on the same day, which is still far away from Jinzhou.

If there is no "Red Banner Army" to provide landing at the port of Langwobao on the east coast, warships and transport ships will have to bypass Lushunkou to the west coast to land in Jinzhou.

In the eyes of civil officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty, the two towns are divided into two towns. There will be many troubles in the future, and it is easy to turn into prevarication and wrangling.

Therefore, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian also fully supported the independent management of Jinzhou and Lushunkou by Huang Han. They believed that only the "Red Banner Army" could play a role in restraining the establishment of slaves here, so that they could hold on to Jinzhou and prevent the city from being destroyed. And lost again.

Looking at the civilian and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, only Huang Han has the financial resources, ability, and force to manage this area well, and only the management model of the "Red Banner Army" can make the garrison soldiers and civilians support themselves.

It is basically impossible to rely on the poor Dongjiang Town to come here and stay here and work hard. In the end, it is the result of living in Lushunkou.
