Iron blood Suiming

Chapter 196 This Is Not a Rumor

The Tartars and craftsmen had killed so many people at once, and they panicked immediately. Some rushed towards the Lingshan Guards brazenly and yelling, some ran with their heads in their arms, and most of them hid in houses.

Seeing this, the first thousand households immediately ordered to change to a double formation, with every 2000 people firing in two rounds, in order to continue to fire.

The fastest Tartars ran only 50 meters before they were killed by the second row of two thousand muskets.Now, no Tartar dared to rush over again.Countless Tartars and craftsmen began to flee backwards. They wanted to escape to the moat, jump down, and swim to the bottom of Shengjing City, so that the Tartars on the city could protect them.

It's a pity that Li Jianguo had expected this move a long time ago.The eight hundred Lingshan Guard soldiers on horseback who had been wandering outside immediately blocked the road leading to the moat.Although a few Tartars and craftsmen escaped, more than [-]% of them were locked in the encirclement circle by the eight hundred Lingshan guards.

Gu Shane in Shengjing City watched the Ming army massacre craftsmen with a binoculars, and he was so anxious that he was so anxious, but at a distance of four miles, he really couldn't think of any way to kill them except for the red-clothed cannon. To the Ming army.

In fact, even if the cannons in red were pushed in, at a distance of four miles, there would be no damage. Unless he sent a team of Tazi soldiers out of the city to rescue, the firearms battalion would be destroyed sooner or later.

Soldiers from the Lingshan Guard had already approached the craftsman's workshop. Nearly 2000 craftsmen were hiding in houses everywhere, desperately calling for help.None of them thought that they were originally Han Chinese, so why didn't they surrender to the Lingshan Guards?In fact, they can't be blamed for this, but the Ming army didn't treat craftsmen as human beings at all. In the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen were the lowest lowly slaves, and anyone could bully them.Even if they surrender, the Ming army will not be merciful.

Although Li Kaiguo is the commander of the Lingshan Guards, he treats craftsmen differently from other Ming troops, but that is to the craftsmen who serve him in the village of Jianghu, and the craftsmen who make firearms for the Tartars, Li Kaiguo will never forgive .

The Lingshan guards drove all the Tartars and craftsmen outside into the house.Did not go in.Instead, they held torches and started to set fires everywhere. Two thousand-man teams set fires around the firearms battalion. When they found gunpowder, they began to bundle explosive packs.

The Tartars and craftsmen looked desperately at the Lingshan Guards doing these things step by step, but they were powerless.Even some of the musketeers were trembling. They didn't dare to shoot, for fear of provoking the Lingshan guards to rush in and kill them.

The worst moment finally came. The Lingshan Guards began to throw ignited explosives into each house. With deafening explosions, countless Tartars and craftsmen were blown to death in the house.Just don't get killed.He was also crushed to death by the collapsed house.

At this time, the red cannon had just been transported to the southern city wall, and the Han artillerymen were sweating profusely.Gu Shan Ezhen was the same as the Tartars in Shengjing City, all eyes wide open, extremely angry, this is massacre, naked massacre.The Ming army is not human, and countless Tartars cursed at them.They hadn't thought about it at all.What did he do when he broke into the Ming Realm, when he killed the women, children and old people of the Ming Dynasty.How happy and cruel I am.

Just after the red cannon was set up and the ammunition was loaded, Gu Shan Ezhen went up to operate the cannon himself, kicked the Han artillery aside, ignited the cannon, and only heard a loud "boom", the red cannon actually exploded Gu Shan Ezhen was killed on the spot, but he was not alone, and more than a dozen Tartars were also killed at the same time.

Because it was too hasty, Gu Shan Ezhen kept urging. When the Han artillerymen panicked, they released two gunpowders, so it's no wonder they didn't explode.The blasted barrel ignited the randomly piled gunpowder bags, and the city of Shengjing was filled with fireworks.

When Li Jianguo heard the explosion in Shengjing City, he looked around with all his eyesight, and immediately guessed eight or nine. He laughed loudly, laughing at the stupidity of the Tartars.Hai Lanzhu and Su Mo'er stood beside him, looking palely at the corpses lying everywhere, stained with blood, as well as the explosions that made loud noises from time to time and the huge destructive power caused by gunpowder.

Coupled with the wind blowing over, mixed with the smell of gunpowder, blood, and the smell of excrement and urine before death, the two women retched immediately, until a gust of cold wind blew, and the two women gasped and hid in the carriage.They were terrified by this massacre, which was not a war.

But Li Jianguo didn't care about them at all, as long as they didn't run away, he didn't bother to tie them up again.The thousandth household rode a horse and ran around to command. At this time, the firearms field was full of rubble and there were almost no living people. Come to the rescue, but as long as the adults are there, no matter how strange things are, they will no longer be strange.

Half an hour later, all the buildings in the firearms field were destroyed, and there were no living people within sight. The thousandth household immediately ran to report to Li Jianguo, "My lord, the firearms field has been completely destroyed, and there is no one left alive." .”

Li Jianguo took a breath and shouted: "Retreat and retreat, let's go home." The Lingshan guards got on their horses one after another, and they had already reached four horses per person. Led by Li Kaiguo's carriage, they retreated back to Dandong the same way.Behind the backs of the galloping horses, only the silent city of Shengjing was left.

At this moment, the cold air was still heavy, but the soldiers of the Lingshan Guard who were galloping were full of enthusiasm. They burned, killed and looted horses under the so-called capital of the Tartars. Blow for a lifetime.How can it not make people bloody and excited?

Even the [-]th and [-]th households thought the same way, and each of them looked at Li Jianguo as if they were adults or gods.

In fact, when they knew that they were going to fight in the capital of the Tartars, they had already made up their minds to die. Even with the most optimistic estimate, they could only survive 400% of the time.But now, all combat objectives have been accomplished, and the number of casualties is less than [-]. This is simply a miracle among miracles.

In the eyes of the Lingshan Guards, it was a miracle, and in the eyes of the Tatars, it was also a miracle. Even in the eyes of the world, this sneak attack is enough to be listed in the annals of history and become a classic battle, but there are some doubts. Everyone can't explain it.How could the Ming army sneak attack on the racecourse and firearms field when the Tartars were fighting among themselves.

How could that dragon vein gold medal fall from the world?There is also sunlight, how could it be such a coincidence that that beam of sunlight appeared in one day and was taken advantage of?The most difficult thing for people to understand is, what kind of power can make Concubine Zhuang and Kabaka naked, fly nearly [-] meters and land on the high platform without dying under the eyes of everyone?

No one has this answer, maybe the dead Tartars of Phoenix Fort know this secret, because they have seen the scene where Li Jianguo threw Jierhalang.It's a pity they all did ghosts.Not one survived.

When Huang Taiji got the news that the Ming army appeared in Shengjing City, he urgently called De Gelei, Duoduo and the others to temporarily stop the troops, and rushed back with troops.After discovering that all three racecourses had been robbed, and only three craftsmen survived from the Firearms Camp, Huang Taiji knocked off his horse and vomited three liters of blood.

However, the Eight Banners soldiers and horses who rushed back were unable to track down the Ming army's team, even if they chased them, they couldn't catch up.Because the Ming army robbed them of more than 2 war horses, even the Tartars could not do four horses per person, so how can they chase them?where to chase?

A series of bad news made Huang Taiji unable to withstand such a blow any longer, and his reputation among the Manchus also plummeted. A profuse man who could make the Ming army come to the capital to burn, kill, and loot quietly, and even there The Ming army didn't even know what they were doing.How can you reassure everyone?

This time, even Yue Tuo and Dorgon no longer helped Huang Taiji, and after Yue Tuo learned that his father Daishan had been shot to death, he personally raised troops to encircle Zhenghongqi, which had already surrounded the Han Army Banner Camp impenetrably. Take it under his command, and then immediately attack the Han Army Banner camp, killing all the generals in the Han Army Banner, and all the Han people in the Han Army Banner.All sent as slaves.The banner of the Han army disappeared as soon as it appeared, those famous generals who defected to the Manchus.Before he died, he didn't know whether he would dare to go underground to meet his ancestors.

Three days later, Huang Taiji was lying on the hospital bed and had just recovered, when he got another bad news. The Horqin Mongolian tribe sent someone to ask whether Da Khan was satisfied with Hai Lanzhu, and whether it was time to discuss the matter of marriage?At this time, Horqin didn't even know that Huang Taiji was about to step down.

Huang Taiji investigated the matter, and only then did he know that three days ago, Hai Lanzhu was abducted by a tartar in broad daylight at the gate of the palace, and his life and death are still unknown.Huang Taiji immediately relapsed and vomited six liters of blood again, scaring the imperial doctor who treated him so much that his family ran away overnight, but was chased back by Jiala of Zhenghuangqi, and the family beheaded.

Since then, Huang Tai has been seriously ill, and the affairs of the Manchus are all in charge of Dorgon, Yuetuo, Duoduo, and Dege, and they have become the new four major Baylors of the Manchus.Huang Taiji was protected by the two yellow flags, and temporarily occupied Shengjing, but within the Eight Banners, chaos had begun to appear, and some good policies that had originally appeased the Han people were no longer implemented, and many Han officials were persecuted to death by the Manchus.

However, the Lingshan Guards returned to the mouth of the Yalu River after three days of rapid march without incident, boarded a warship, and sailed to Lingshanwei.The difference from the last time I came back from Tianjin is that this time there are almost not enough cargo ships. More than 2 war horses are really not a small number.

A horse must occupy the position of at least four people, and 8000 horses will fight for the position of more than [-] people. It was not until three hundred horses were placed on the flagship ship that all the horses were reluctantly loaded. In this way, a large amount of ballast was also thrown away to make the trip.

So that when returning to the voyage, all the ships are like old ladies, slow.Originally, the voyage only required a maximum of seven days, but it took ten days.

Hai Lanzhu and Su Mo'er were dumbfounded when they saw the warships of the Ming army at the mouth of the Yalu River. When the ships reached the sea, they looked at the endless sea. Let Li Jianguo consider whether to throw it into the sea to feed the fish.

But when he saw that his soldiers would rather stand by themselves and make room for the horses, he endured it. These two women are worth more than 1 horses. Finally got used to it and no longer get seasick.

The soldiers of Lingshanwei didn't know that Li Jianguo tolerated the two women because of the horses. They thought that the adults were interested in the two Mongolian women, and they all treated them as Li Jianguo's concubines.Although a Mongolian woman is not qualified to be the main wife of an adult, concubines are acceptable, so she is quite respectful to the two women.

On the 26th of the first lunar month, Li Kaiguo led his army back to Lingshanwei. He had just placed 2 horses in place, and the entire Lingshanwei was a sensation.Not only did they bring back more than 2 war horses, but the Lingshan Guard soldiers of the 1000th team who came back also boasted. In less than a day, the entire eastern part of Shandong knew where these war horses came from. He also robbed the Tartars from the city of Shengjing, and even snatched back the beauties whom the Mongols paid tribute to Huang Taiji.

Everyone who heard the news was skeptical, impossible, the capital of the Tartars, where is the old den of the Tartars, only five thousand soldiers dare to go to Shengjing?Are all the Tartars dead?

Whenever someone questioned, the soldiers of the 1000th team immediately told the whole process in detail.How they sneaked ashore, through the desert.How to slaughter the Tartar tribe.How to attack the castle.How to kill the Xianglan Banner in the end, and Jierhalang, the banner owner of the Xianglan Banner.How come they hid under the city of Shengjing for a day and a half, and then Li Jianguo found them with two Mongolian beauties in the middle of the night, led them to march forty miles overnight, and killed [-] Tartars in the middle.

In the end, under the leadership of Li Jianguo, they robbed three horse farms and [-] war horses from the Tartars, and then entered the firearms field.Kill all the craftsmen inside, destroy all the utensils inside, and finally retreat with glory.

All of these are well-spoken, and the most undeniable thing is that every soldier said the same thing, without any major discrepancies.Although they couldn't explain why the Tartars didn't go out of the city to encircle them.But every detail can withstand scrutiny, which makes many people have to believe it.

Numerous spies immediately spread the news. On the third day, Emperor Chongzhen told the story at the court meeting, and then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not believe it, and even laughed at Li Jianguo.Said that he was a villain, and fabricated rumors.

Until five days later, the governor of Liaodong sent a memorial.It is said that there is a change in Shengjing.Some thoughtful people connected these with the news of Li Jianguo's surprise attack on Shengjing, which caused a sensation in the world.More and more people believe it.Li Kaiguo did indeed lead troops to invade Shengjing City of the Tartars.

Countless storytellers immediately used their imagination to make up countless jokes in the shortest possible time, and began to talk about how miserable the Tartars are, how majestic Li Jianguo is, and how the eggs of the Tartars are. It's so small, seeing how the Ming army invaded and how they shrank their eggs into their crotches and dared not fight....

The most outrageous thing is that some storytellers only talked about the day and a half when Li Jianguo went to Shengjing alone, how he sneaked into Shengjing, how he entered the Tartar palace city, and how Li Jianguo had countless lower body sex with Huang Taiji's harem concubines. thing…….

All in all, rumors are flying all over the world, but everyone remembers the name of Li Kaiguo, the commander of Lingshan Guard.Of course, there are people who believe it to be true, and there are more rumors of swearing, but no one has noticed that the situation that many people were terrified when they heard the word "Tarzi" in the past is easing. Most people don't know that their subconscious The idea of ​​"Tartars are nothing more than that" is sprouting.

Fifteen days later, on the thirteenth day of the second month, the Ming court received news that the Mongolian tribes that had defected had left the Manchus one after another and fought a battle with the Manchus. Although they were defeated, the Manchus suffered a lot.It was able to make most of the Mongolian tribes independent again, forming a restraint on the Manchus.

This made Emperor Chongzhen overjoyed, and what made him even more happy was that Chen Qiyu, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of the right capital Yushi, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs, secretly wrote a memorial that was very feasible to encircle and suppress the bandits. Within a month, most of the rogues would be wiped out.

This made Emperor Chongzhen overjoyed. He did not expect that just after the new year, there would be a lot of good news. Although some things have not been completed, in general, they are developing in a good direction. When they return to the palace every day, they are also in the mood to talk and laugh with Queen Zhou Laughing, he treated the prince and his sons and daughters with a loving fatherly attitude.It wasn't until a piece of news came that Emperor Chongzhen's mood began to turn sour.

On February [-]th, the morning of Lingshanwei was no different from usual. Merchants from all over the world brought goods from all over to Lingshanwei.Although the governor of Shandong expressly forbids all supplies to be transported to Lingshanwei, in the eyes of profit-seeking businessmen, this order is not as loud as a fart.

Even if they have money to earn, they have to kill their heads. What's more, these businessmen have good hands and eyes, and everyone has officials behind their backs.As long as Li Jianguo didn't show it clearly, they would dare to bring in all the supplies Lingshanwei needed.Many people now admire Li Jianguo for not openly opposing the Ming Dynasty, saving face for the Ming court and benefiting himself.

The current Lingshan Guard is no different from the county systems in other places except that the officials are appointed by Li Kaiguo, the commander of Lingshan Guard, except that the officials are more honest and dare not embezzle.

But it's not to say that being an official has no rewards. Li Jianguo's salary is really generous.A county magistrate of the seventh rank originally had an annual salary of only 45 taels, and it could not be paid in real money, and sometimes it was converted into real things.The annual salary of the county magistrate under Li Jianguo was as high as 100 taels, which was the lowest income on the surface. If the county magistrate performed well in the performance assessment, he could also get a reward of 200 taels of silver.

But there is one thing, since you have received a high salary, you are not allowed to have any corruption or fraud. As long as it is verified, no matter how much corruption is, there is only one penalty, and the whole family will be beheaded.

Many people criticize this punishment, saying that the corruption is only the behavior of an official, and the family members are not guilty.Someone bravely reported it to Li Kaiguo, Li Kaiguo sneered and said: "Even if the family members of corrupt officials don't know about the corrupt behavior of corrupt officials, they must also enjoy the money of corruption. when."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar all over the world. Some said it was right, and some said it was wrong.But Li Jianguo did his own way, but he did not kill officials unjustly. For every person who was found to be corrupt and faced with the execution of his family, Li Jianguo would set up a church in the street in front of the public and ask the case in person.

He gave every corrupt official a chance to appeal in person. As long as one corrupt act is confirmed, so that the corrupt officials have nothing to say, Li Jianguo will kill all the officials' family members in court, and there will be no postponement of the autumn judgment.In this way, everyone was aboveboard, and everyone had nothing to say, but secretly cursed Li Jianguo as a butcher.
