Ming Empire

Chapter 310 The threat of building slaves is gone

"Let him get up!" Cao Yue ordered Duoduo's soldiers to let go.

The guards released Duoduo according to their words, and Duoduo, who had lost his body, straightened his back, took a step back and stared at Cao Yue again and again.

"You are Cao Yue?" Duoduo could speak Chinese, but it was not smooth.Most of the upper-class figures in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were like this. They were greatly influenced by Han culture. Most of them could understand and speak Chinese, but not many knew Chinese characters.

"It's true!" Cao Yue smiled at Duoduo, and said meaningfully: "We have dealt with each other several times as opponents, but today is the first real meeting. Banquet, please come and visit me!"

Cao Yue's words not only stunned Duoduo, but also stunned the other soldiers around him.What is it all about? If people who don't know the current situation hear it, they will think that the two are old friends who haven't seen for many years, and they will hold a casual banquet for them.Now it is on the battlefield, the battle is not over yet, Duoduo's troops were still fighting desperately just now, and there are still many people who have just died or are still struggling lying beside them.

"Cao Yue, this king is going to kill you!" Duoduo's red eyes were dripping with blood. After he came back to his senses and roared angrily, he drew out the dagger at his waist and threw himself at Cao Yue recklessly. .

Hearing a "bang", before the people around him could make a move to stop him, smoke came out of the pistol that Cao Yue had drawn out at some point, and Duoduo, who was hit in the leg, suddenly lost his balance and made a plop He fell to the ground, and the short knife in his hand was also stuck in the mud.

"Duo Duo, you have no chance to kill me. I think you still don't know how you failed. In fact, you should be able to see that no matter how sharp the knife in your hand is, you have to rush to me to stab me. And my gun can hit you from a long distance, the difference between our two armies is this point, and this point is the most important factor in determining the victory of the war," Cao Yue said, and showed a kind smile at Duoduo: " Duduo, you are a guest of our Daming, um, you are considered a distinguished guest. This king will treat you kindly and take you to visit my imperial tomb of Daming. You have committed serious crimes against Daming. It's like going there to repent."

As Cao Yue said, he stopped the smile on his face and yelled at the soldiers beside him: "Come here, take this Prince Yu, who was a slave, as a treat, and don't let him make any mistakes. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Several sergeants responded loudly, stepped forward quickly, restrained Duduo while he was struggling, and immediately tied him up with a rope, put a blindfold on Duduo, and stuffed a lump on his mouth. cloth.

Poor Duoduo, his hands and feet were bound, and he struggled desperately but couldn't break free, his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't utter curse words, and was finally taken away by Cao Yue's soldiers in a rage.

"This war should be over, and the threat of building slaves will never come again!" Seeing Duoduo's back being taken away, Cao Yue sighed softly, and immediately ordered to hunt down and kill all those who dared to resist. The Jiannu who put down their arms and chose to surrender should be placed under custody, and there must be no difference.In today's battle, he hoped to keep most of the Jiannu outside the city of Beijing, and they would not be allowed to leave no matter whether they were dead or alive.

Cao Yue's order was quickly conveyed. Hearing that Duoduo was captured alive, the morale of the remaining slaves was even more hit.

The battle stopped completely at noon the next day. Except for the miscellaneous troops who were still chasing and suppressing the remnants of the slaves who fled, the Ming Guards had already stopped fighting and were preparing to rest.

At the end of the battle on the main battlefield, reinforcements from various places to reinforce Beijing were still arriving one after another, but these reinforcements had no more battles to fight.Cao Bianjiao's tribe, who originally led the army to rush to aid Beijing, also stopped advancing after receiving the news from Cao Yue.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao was still at least one day away from Shanhaiguan.Now that the crisis in Beijing has been lifted, there is no need for other troops to enter the customs for reinforcements.Outside the customs, the situation has not been fully grasped, there are still many tribes to deal with, and the battle will continue.

However, most of the remnant power of Jiannu was wiped out under the city of Beijing, and the tribes who dared to make trouble outside the customs would also be greatly reduced.The military power of Ming Dynasty will be spread all over the world. With the further equipment of firearms, there will be no army that can fight against the Imperial Guards of Ming Dynasty.

Cao Bianjiao's next task is to completely quell the chaos outside the customs. While eliminating the remnants of Jiannu and eliminating its influence, he also finds ways to win over all the tribes on the grassland, especially the Mongolian tribes.Now the biggest forces outside the pass are the tribes of Mongolia. Simultaneous suppression and appeasement is the strategy that must be adopted. Cao Bianjiao is responsible for this task.

Cao Yue led his army to defeat Jiannu and captured Duoduo alive, which was very unexpected to Sun Chuanting, Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and others.They thought that even if the troops led by Cao Yue could be captured, the battle would definitely be very difficult and would take a lot of time, but they didn't expect that the battle would be over in just one day and one night, and not only tens of thousands of troops would be killed. The slaves were defeated, and Doduo was also captured alive.

After receiving the news from Cao Yue, everyone was very surprised, and Jier was excited and ecstatic.

They were in Beijing, and having encountered such a sudden change, they were all worried, for fear that Beijing would be captured by Jiannu and they would suffer misfortune.Now all worries are gone, Cao Yue led the army to completely eliminate this huge disaster.

Celebrating each other, this is their performance after receiving the news. These people also once again expressed their admiration for Cao Yue's ability, and they have a better understanding of the role of firearms in war.No one is dissatisfied with Cao Yue, and no one will object to Cao Yue's proposal to vigorously develop the manufacture of firearms and build more arsenals.

When Cao Yue led his army back to the city, important officials including the young emperor Zhu Cijiong, Sun Chuanting, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu all went to greet him near the city gate.The common people who escaped the disaster spontaneously organized a welcome team.

The captured slaves were very obedient, and those with more noble status, such as Duoduo and others, were all escorted into the city with the triumphant army.Most of the soldiers and civilians in Beijing hated Jiannu very much. The baptism of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables made Duduo and others, who were already haggard, even more embarrassed.It's just that Duoduo already has the determination to die, so he has no fear and accepts the people's spurn.

After setting up the army, Cao Yue also directly approached Sun Chuanting, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Gao Hongtu and others to discuss how to deal with the aftermath and how to deal with the captured Duduo and other slave nobles.

To kill or to recruit, this is a question everyone wants to discuss!
