Wanli 1592

Chapter 46
The failure of the rebellion was a foregone conclusion.

There were 13 main generals of the rebel army and 38 junior officers, none of whom were captured alive. They were killed by the red-eyed and murderous Ming army with the most brutal means. Except for a few of the 3 Ming troops who were prepared Under the suppression of Ye Mengxiong, the army kept vigilant and hunted down the rebels who escaped from the city. More than [-] main combat troops all entered the city to participate in the battle. Every street and every house in the city could become a battlefield for the two armies to fight.

The number of rebels is insufficient and their morale is not enough. They can only be defeated by the Ming army. For example, the more than 100 rebels who were trapped in the General Military Mansion were sent by Xiao Ruhui to bombard them with artillery, and the entire General Military Mansion was almost destroyed. Only a few escaped, and were immediately chopped into minced meat by the Ming army, and the rest of the rebels in the government offices were also killed one after another.

During the killings, the tyranny of people was undoubtedly revealed. Many innocent people and innocent officials were also killed together as rebels. According to statistics afterwards, the total number of rebel groups was no more than 6000, but they were killed. There are more than [-] people.

Thirteen thousand people with unknown identities died tragically under the butcher knife of the Ming army, just because they did not hide in the house, or hid in the house where they should not be hiding, so their heads were counted as the heads of the rebels For credit, no one expressed dissatisfaction, and no one stopped them, including Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen. Everyone tacitly claimed that these people were all rebels.

Therefore, the Ming army will not take any responsibility for the death of these people, at most they will only give some compensation according to the standard, because they have just quelled a big rebellion that was enough to shake the court, and they are all great heroes.

Xiao Ruxun led troops to attack Prince Qing's Mansion, which was entrenched by a group of rebels. Xiao Ruxun insisted on guaranteeing their lives before surrendering. However, Xiao Ruxun, who was more or less affected by the brutal murderous intent, directly ordered the bombardment of Prince Qing's Mansion and knocked down the gates of Prince Qing's Mansion. Blast away, kill the rebel lieutenant general Gong Zhi who was entrenched in it, and kill all [-] rebels, leaving no one behind.

Afterwards, Xiao Ruxun rescued the officials of King Qing's Mansion and Gong'e who were under the control of the rebels. However, the soldiers who were about to go crazy after killing them became restless, because they suppressed it for too long, and finally saw Gong'e's white body. ——Wei Xuezeng and Ye Mengxiong are strict in their army management and are not allowed to bring battalion skills.

As a result, the elite soldiers who had been holding back for more than two months urgently needed to vent. At that moment, Gong'e's crying made Xiao Ruxun recover in time, and he rushed forward and kicked the red-eyed man who wanted to force Gong'e to explode. The soldiers angrily reprimanded the group of soldiers, and only then could they manage to control the brutal murderous aura of the soldiers.

Then, in the process of rescuing them, Xiao Ruxun got an unexpected news from the old man of Prince Qing's mansion - although Princess Qing committed suicide, Prince Qing's son did not die, he was hidden in the cellar by Princess Qing, Later, he was secretly rescued at night and hid in a secret room to be supported by everyone. He only waited for the court rescuers to rescue King Qing's son and keep the only blood of King Xianqing.

This credit fell from the sky on Xiao Ruxun's head. Xiao Ruxun immediately led his troops to find the secret room, and protected the seven-year-old Prince Qing's son Zhu Shuai, until he brought him back to the camp and handed it over to Ye Mengxiong.

Entering the city in the early morning, the resistance of the rebels in the city was completely suppressed in the afternoon. In the evening, when the setting sun was like blood, the chaos of worship was completely quelled. It ended in a complete victory. According to the statistics a few days later, in this battle, the Ming army killed more than [-] people and injured more than [-] people. Most of them survived, and the final death toll was around [-].

The rebels were killed more than [-] times, and their heads were piled up as high as several mountains. One of them was built by the Ming army as a Beijing temple. Outside the Great Wall, it was more than ten meters high, showing off its force to the Mongols outside the Great Wall. Deterred Xiaoxiao so that he would not dare to enter the bandits.

This strategy was quite effective. For a long period of time later, the cavalry on the grassland did not dare to approach that section of the Great Wall. The Mongols rumored that the Jingguan became a ghost, which would die if they saw it. Prairie children cry at night.

The bloody sunset blush sprinkled the city of Ningxia, and the sporadic fighting ended completely. On the evening of the 22nd, there was not even a single resisting rebel in the city of Ningxia.

About one-third of the town of Ningxia, where the smoldering smog raged, was destroyed. It was devastated, blood was everywhere, dead people were everywhere, and there were crying sounds everywhere. Women cried, and some children cried while hugging their parents' corpses. The whole city of Ningxia cried together.

In the end, only more than 300 rebels were surrendered, sent as slaves to the mines, and the rest died. None of the rebel leaders survived. It was the most complete suppression of the rebellion by the Ming army since the founding of the country. The next day, at noon on April 23, arrived in Ningxia The officials in the city who announced the latest imperial decree were stunned.

The internal official saw the bloody and murderous generals and the piles of heads. He even urinated and couldn't say a word. He made a joke of the boss and was despised by Mei Guozhen to the end. Soon after, the capital died of a sudden illness, which even frightened many internal officials from going to the border to announce the decree.

When Xiao Ruxun, who had completely recovered his senses, led his troops to patrol the city wall to rectify order, he couldn't help but sigh, and then ordered all residents not to leave the house until they were notified, and the food would be distributed by the government at a designated place every day, and only one person was allowed to pick it up. Immediately go home and close the door tightly, not to come out.

At the same time, Xiao Ruxun feared that the army's beasts would happen after the city was broken in history, and ordered all the soldiers who participated in the killing of the enemy to leave the city and return to the barracks. The soldiers who had been guarding outside were transferred into the city to maintain order. Not forgiving, and sent patrol knights to patrol around the main road of the city to picket the lawless soldiers.

On that day, just in the morning, Xiao Ruxun ordered the beheading of 24 law-breaking soldiers, finally controlled the situation that was almost out of control, and tried his best to protect the order of the city and the safety of the people. Mei Guozhen saw such a move , the evaluation of Xiao Ruxun has been improved to a higher level.

The emperor's new imperial decree happened more than ten days ago, ordering Ye Mengxiong to take over the position of governor of the three sides. Break down the city by the end of July, otherwise everyone will be punished together.

When the imperial decree arrived, everyone had already overfulfilled the target, so the military report and Mei Guozhen's memorial were sent to the capital in an expedited eight hundred miles.

After the battle, the exhausted soldiers also began to rest. After the victory of the war, it is reasonable for the commander to reward the sergeants, but this time some of the soldiers who consumed a lot of energy even slept for two days and two nights. When I woke up, I was still sore and depressed, so I had to postpone it.

During the interval between the end of the war and the arrival of the emperor's imperial decree, the soldiers were resting. This was also a rare rest day. They didn't need to go out for exercises and training. It took about a few days. The soldiers gathered in twos and threes to hang out, chat and fight Let the sun shine, everyone said that this time the battle was really crazy, the killing was soft, and the head was cut with softness.

After the remaining bricks and stones of the part of the blasted city wall were cleaned up, everyone saw a terrifying deep pit, so they shuddered unceasingly, and looked at Xiao Ruxun with a lot of awe in their eyes.

After the war, Xiao Ruxun seemed to be the most authoritative general in the entire army. Not only were the sergeants in awe, the generals admired him, but even the superiors seemed to pay extra attention to Xiao Ruxun. Basically, the military issues still had to be dealt with after the war. Xiao Ruxun would be asked for his opinion on reconstruction issues, and some generals were very dissatisfied with this point, such as Ma Gui.

Ma Gui expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that he was never accepted and treated well by literati.

Xiao Ruxun, who was in a good mood, analyzed it for Ma Gui.

You see, first of all, I contributed strategies to make the army win. I am a great hero, so I naturally have the conditions to be valued; then, I am the son-in-law of the former minister of the Ministry of War, and I am my own person in the eyes of these generals; and then, I am young, and they regard me as a talent that can be created; in addition, I have a literary name, I am not illiterate, I am not an old man, and I can write a good hand; finally, I am handsome and have the demeanor of a Confucian general, which is the most important thing. An important point, and you are too ugly.

Ma Gui looked at Xiao Ruxun with very subtle eyes for a long time, and when he returned to the barracks, he asked his subordinates to find a mirror for him, and began to think about where he was ugly in front of the mirror.
