Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Although they successfully besieged and killed the Wanwu Green Banner soldiers outside the city, the farewell order had been issued, and the Jingzhou Eight Banners who returned to the forcibly occupied house in the city were soon surrounded by pain.The cries of the female relatives and children continued throughout the night, and the oppressive atmosphere made the entire banner army staying in Jingmen on the verge of collapse in morale.

The cries of the bannerman floated in the air, and the people who had their houses taken away and driven to sleep on the other side of the city heard it, but they were very relieved. He couldn't be overjoyed, but the voice of cursing in private showed no sign of stopping for a moment.Even some of the guards who were ordered to repress were dissatisfied with the indiscriminate hacking and killing of the Zaoli who delivered food by the banner army, so they turned a blind eye to the curses of the people.

When it was daylight, the east gate of Jingmenzhou City opened, and thousands of banner troops rushed out in a mess, and the Mongolian horse team that had packed the felt bedding rumbled away to the north and northeast.However, due to different horsepower and different imperial techniques, quite a few banner troops were behind from the beginning, among which the Jingzhou Eight Banners who were reluctant to part and the Xi'an Eight Banners who were mainly gunners were the majority.When Naertu and Zhuduna, who had run for nearly a hundred miles in one breath, called to stop for a rest, there were less than [-] banner troops left when they left Jingmen.Although the flag soldiers arrived one after another when they were resting their horsepower and eating dry food, some flag soldiers were still missing.

"Ama, are Eriang and Lagu all right?" Panting heavily and chewing dry food, similar conversations are not uncommon in the Jingzhou Garrison Eight Banners. It is not uncommon for sons to ask their fathers, brothers to brothers, or subordinates to ask questions. The officer and the neighbors asked Pao Ze that they had not slaughtered the violent heroes of the green camp at this moment, and they only cared about their relatives and friends.

"Maybe, no, it will be fine. The Han people always say that it is not good to kill and surrender. You, Ama, and the others are women and children. The southerners should not do anything to them." In order to explain his son, but also to convince himself, the man He couldn't help but increase his tone. "That's right, nothing will happen, and it's useless for Hai Ni to take the old and weak, women and children, and he will definitely agree to our ransom!"

"That's it, that's all right." The young man believed it, but would it really end like this?

"What's going on? How did so many people die?" Zheng Jun Tanma, who arrived at Jingmen City, suddenly found himself entering the Shura Field, looking at the stinking corpses covered by big-headed flies, even veterans who were used to fighting scenes couldn't help it want to throw up. "They should all be green flag soldiers. Which division arrived first?"

"My lord!" A cavalry soldier who couldn't bear it was vomiting, and suddenly saw something special, so he forced himself to call the leader over. "My lord, look!" Two corpses that were almost joined together were displayed in front of everyone, one stabbed the other's stomach with a knife, and the other bit off the other's neck with its teeth, but the clothes of the two dead were the same . "It's cannibalism."

"No, the Banner Army should be killing the Green Camp!" More details were discovered by the scattered scouts. More than half of the dead Green Banner soldiers had no weapons in their hands, and many of them were attacked from behind. All the flag soldiers held knives and guns in their hands. "Hurry up and report to the brigade, the Tartars have gone mad and killed all their own people."

The area where [-] corpses were scattered can be described as vast, and the Zheng Jun scouts who passed through this death zone finally breathed fresh air, and then sighed slightly as if they had escaped from death.Before they had time to rub realgar powder on their bodies to repel mosquitoes and avoid epidemics, Jingmen City, which appeared in front of them, suddenly opened its doors.

what happened?The Qing army also attacked?Just when Zheng Jun's scouts were about to dodge, they saw a ninth-rank petty official with a sparrow embroidered on his chest come out in fear.This is to surrender?With this in mind, several Zheng Jun scouts gathered around, and the leader of the team patted his horse to meet him.

Seeing Zheng Jun approaching swaggeringly, Xiao Guanqiang bowed to him calmly: "Jingzhou official Mu Baiqi pays homage to the general!"

"General?" The team leader laughed. The general in Zheng Fan's current system is the most senior military attache from the first rank, and the team leader is just the deputy lieutenant from Baoyi from the eighth rank. During this period, the difference is a full thirteen ranks. It is impossible to get promoted without two or 30 years, not to mention that there is still a natural barrier between the third-rank riding captain and the second-rank light vehicle captain. "I don't dare to say, what do you want to do when you go out of the city alone?"

"The little official Bai Qi was ordered by Lord Zhen of Zhizhou to contact the noble army to discuss the surrender of Kaesong."

"Is it necessary to discuss the surrender of Kaesong?" The team leader laughed loudly, pointing the saber in his hand at Bai Qi's nose. "I still want to bargain, how can it be so easy, honestly opening the city may save his dog's life, if not, there is only one dead end!"

Looking at the sharp point of the knife in front of him, Bai Qi almost didn't fall to the ground. Fortunately, he was born as a rascal and still had a strong body, so he responded boldly: "What the general said is true, but Master Zhizhou It is really hard to express my difficulties, please listen to the little official first, sir."

"There are thousands of family members of Bannermen in the city? Wounded soldiers rushing to seize the government? What do you say that if you don't save their lives, you will die in the whole city?" Zheng Kezang looked at the sub-commander who came to report calmly. "Have you figured out what's going on with the tens of thousands of green camp corpses outside the city?"

Fentong looked at the commander in front of him with reverence, and replied without changing a word: "Reporting to the king, according to the officials of Bai Qi, it was when the Tartars retreated to the north. Insufficient rations have brought disaster to Jingmen, so it was dealt with in advance."

"Insufficient military rations? Disaster for Jingmen? Pre-disposition?" Zheng Kezang suddenly sneered. "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Tartars." The people around looked at each other, not knowing why Zheng Kezang got angry, so they heard what Zheng Kezang said. "It's true that the Green Camp is a traitor and running dog, but they are also my Han children. The Tartars slaughtered half of my Han children like pigs and dogs, and they even said it was to protect the people." In an instant, Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, and many massacres and literary inquisitions All appeared in Zheng Kezang's mind. "The Tartars are a great evil to China, could it be that stupid farmer?"

The last sentence baffled everyone. Of course they didn't know about "The Farmer and the Snake" in "Aesop's Fables", but they could hear the strong killing intent in Zheng Kezang's tone, so they immediately Someone stood up and came in and said, "Your Majesty, it is not auspicious to kill, let alone women and children."

"Stupid!" Zheng Kezang yelled angrily, "Go and see the corpses outside Jingmen City, and then think about how many people the Tartars have killed in China before talking."

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Kezang waved his hand to signal the other party not to speak.

"Jinan was killed, Datong, Shuozhou, and Hunyuan were killed, Yangzhou was killed, Jiading was killed, Guangzhou was killed, Jiangxi was killed, Sichuan was killed, and the prisoner Never thought about women and children when the soldiers invaded China, but now they are worried about their relatives, it's ridiculous!" Zheng Kezang gave everyone a hard look. "Are you trying to make the legacy of raising tigers alone? Even if the sky hates it because of this, it's none of your business to bear it alone."

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Cui Ping hurriedly knelt down, and a group of people in the Privy Council were led by him to kneel down. "I dare not intercede for the Tartars, but I have heard that in the past, the king sent Tartars and captives to green camps, officials and gentry to Qiongzhou and overseas to work. Why not follow suit now, so as not to tarnish the name of the king."

"Gu's pure name, Gu has long been scolded as a usurper, what's his name?" Zheng Kezang said without enthusiasm. "If there is no Wu Mourning Heavenly King, the Han people are also two-legged sheep. If they don't kill a hundred people, the Hulu will think that we Han people have no blood and courage!" Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang ordered. "The Will of the Orphan"

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Someone nearby knocked their heads to the ground. "The slaughter of China by the northern captives is an act of beasts. Your Majesty is the future master of China. You must not follow suit!"

Zheng Kezang squeezed each word from between his teeth: "Renth and righteousness depend on who is said to them. Barbarians are afraid of prestige but not virtuous. With one hand, benevolence and righteousness are used to comfort the world's ministers, and the other hand will never give up. Butcher Dao Town will punish my Chinese generation!"

Zheng Kezang glared at the vajra face, bluffing the officials present to kowtow again and again: "You don't need to talk too much, I have made up my mind, come here, and pass on the decree"

"King Xia's order, you and the family members of the captives can escape the crime of death, and the crime of living is inevitable!" Zheng Jun, who took over Jingmen City, aggressively drove away a group of bannermen and wounded soldiers. The disheveled people were driven away from the temporarily occupied house. Countless onlookers watched the changes in front of them in astonishment, and then burst into bursts of cheers. "Come out, get out all of them!"

Seen off by rotten vegetable leaves and lumps of soil, several bannermen, who were obviously the leader, asked the soldiers of the Zheng army, who were frowning coldly, "Where are you taking us? Didn't your majesty promise to treat you kindly?" Shall I wait?"

"Didn't you say that the death penalty is exempt, and the living crime fled south." Zheng Jun soldiers beat them with their weapons and drove them back to the team. "Who will clean up the sins you have done outside the city? Are you asking the masters to clean up the first and last for you?"

When they heard that they went out of the city to bury the corpses of the green battalion soldiers, all the bannermen, women, children and wounded soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Although the smell was bad and the environment was disgusting, they didn't want their own lives anyway.So under this mentality, everyone followed the team silently, and arrived at the killing scene after a while.

According to Zheng Jun's order, a group of bannermen dug the trenches with the simplest tools, and then carried the broken, discolored and smelly corpses in and sprinkled them with lime before burying them.Because there were too many corpses, and the old, weak, women and children worked slowly, no more than one or two thousand corpses were buried in half a day.After finally stopping to take a breath, the bannermen gnawed on the hard-to-eat bran balls sent by Zheng Jun, and when they thought about the good old days, they all burst into tears

After finally comforting the sleeping children in the smelly environment, the bannermen spent the most restless night in a daze, and then they were driven to continue working early in the morning.The [-] corpses had been taken by these women and children for three full days, and when they were all buried, everyone showed a relieved smile.

But this smile was quickly dispelled by the new order: "What, you still have to dig a hole, why!"

The answer to them was a slap in the face. As a last resort, with a bad premonition and exhausted bodies, the wounded soldiers and bannermen continued to be busy until they completed the task assigned by Zheng Jun.

"Drive them all in." Tuqiong's dagger saw the time came. Seeing Zheng Jun's actions, no matter how slow he was, he understood that his doomsday was approaching, and they all started crying, but under the threat of Zheng Jun's force, , How can these hungry and tired bannermen and wounded soldiers resist the results. "Go and call all the people hired in the city."

Looking at the people with shovels in their hands, a few wounded soldiers of the violent Banner Army roared: "I have raped you gang of Haini ancestors for eighteen generations, you will die a bad death!"

Looking at the people of Jingmen who were more terrified than the bannermen in the pit, the second-class praise painting of the Privy Council who presided over the burial laughed lightly: "How many Han people have you killed? This is retribution. Come, bury the earth!"

Under the threat of Zheng Jun's stabbing, the Jingmen people slowly poured the floating soil from the edge of the pit into it. Many people cowered and buried it for a long time until the knees of the bannermen were buried.

Zheng Jun, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little impatient, and suddenly someone among the people shouted: "Father, I avenged you!"

The sound instantly spread throughout the crowd, as if a spring thunder awakened all things. The people suddenly remembered the humiliating and numb suffering days under the Manchu Qing regime, and immediately became excited like chicken blood. Yes, the end of the Tartars has come. Now, what are we worried about?Now that I figured it out, the accumulated sand covered the past like raindrops.
