Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1133: Entering Dadu and Looking Down on the World

Guards with bows and swords were seen everywhere on the imperial road in the south of Dadu. The Great Khan, wearing a dragon robe and looking solemn, rode on horseback and slowly walked into the imperial city from the Daqing Gate. When he saw the three words "Daqing Gate", the Supreme Emperor smiled coldly and said, "The fall of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of the Wei Dynasty is God's will. From today on, this gate will be renamed 'Dawei Gate'". He then dismounted and climbed the wall of Tiananmen Square to accept the cheers of his subjects.

"Lotus Khan, Hao Rui~Lotus Khan, Hao Rui~Lotus Khan, Hao Rui~" The thunderous cheers of David's warriors announced the rise of a new empire.

Someone was intoxicated by the earth-shaking cheers and couldn't help but raise his right arm to celebrate, then left the city wall under the protection of the guards and returned to the camp to handle military affairs. The battle was not over yet, so it was not time to celebrate.

"Great Khan, I have gathered and detained the families of the Eight Banners soldiers who fled into the imperial city, a total of about 60,000 people, all of them old and young, and even young women are rare. I heard that it was the false emperor who ordered all adult Manchu women who can wield swords and guns to be trained into an army. The war has come to this point, it seems that they are doomed!" Grand Secretary Nasutu reported excitedly.

"Well, has Niu Wancai, the general of Tianjin Town, brought the prisoners here?" The Great Khan Lianhua responded and asked another question in a jumpy manner.

Su Tu was stunned. After capturing the imperial city, he was so busy searching for the bannermen that he had no time to take care of the transportation of prisoners.

Upon seeing this, the Minister of War Halahuli reported, "General Niu has sent troops to bring the prisoners here. He said that he left a thousand men to make up for the casualties and allocated three thousand to Zhou Fuyuan, leaving more than six thousand men. But after checking, I found that the prisoners are not strong and cannot afford a big battle."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if the fighting power is weak, just fight a few more battles and let a few more people die," the Great Khan said calmly, his tone was calm. Suddenly, his brows knitted again, "Niu Wancai is decisive~"

No one knows a disciple better than his teacher. Grand Secretary Liu Haogu immediately understood that he had become suspicious of Niu Wancai. According to the military law of the Great Khan, all the captured items must be returned to the public, and then the court will unify the rewards according to merit. Prisoners are also considered captured items. Niu Wancai privately intercepted and sent them as a favor without asking for permission. What did he want to do? Could he have a rebellious intention? Although he knew that the Great Khan did not trust Niu Wancai, who was born a bandit, it was not the time to be suspicious of meritorious officials at the time of using people. Grand Secretary Liu laughed and said, "I heard that Niu Wancai is a scoundrel. Once he rushed to the front in a battle and was shot in one eye. He was nicknamed 'Blind Liu'." Normal people would learn from their lessons and shrink back in battle, but he still went to the front in every battle. Such a reckless man has no strategy. It was just luck that he defeated the Qing army twice in a row. In my opinion, it is more reckless than decisive."

Great scholar Liu, on the surface, described Niu Wancai as a reckless man who only knows how to fight bravely. But if you think about it carefully, David established his country with military force, isn't this kind of brave general exactly what the court needs? Since he is a reckless man, it is normal that he does not understand military discipline. Moreover, such people are simple-minded and pure-minded, and they will be loyal with a little trickery. Sure enough, after hearing his words, the Great Khan Lianhua softened his expression, pondered for a moment and said: "Niu Wancai is still capable of fighting. This time, he defeated the Qing army twice and he has made great contributions. He can be named the third-class Jinghai Earl, but he must be punished for privately dividing the prisoners. He will be fined one year's salary as a warning to others."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Haogu admired sincerely. Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. This method of generous rewards and light punishments not only won the hearts of the people, especially the surrendered generals, but also enforced strict military discipline. It is indeed a heroic method!
Sultan smiled and ordered: "During the siege these days, Xuanzhou Town, Tongzhou Town and Henan Town suffered heavy casualties. Xuan Youcai, Zhang Wei, Cai Lu and others are complaining bitterly, so these prisoners will be added to their camps. I estimate that the attack on the palace city will be a tough battle."

"Yes," the Minister of War Harahuri immediately accepted the order.

"Please tell me, Great Khan, how to deal with the people of the Eight Banners under our custody." Just after dealing with the prisoners of war, Na Sutu came to ask for instructions again.

At this moment, Sultan thought of his dead daughter Toya, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill all of you Princess Hami who is offering sacrifices to me!"

"No, Your Majesty~" "Please take back your order~" As soon as these words came out, important ministers such as Sutu, Liu Haogu, Bobe, Hu Lianqi and others knelt on the ground, expressing their objections in a flurry. "There are still tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the palace. If they knew that their families in the city were massacred, they would definitely fight to the death with our army, and it would be difficult to break the imperial city!" "Your Majesty is a holy lord and should be kind. Most of the families of the Banner soldiers in the city are the elderly, the weak, women and children. Killing them may harm the harmony of nature." "It is better to take these people as hostages to threaten the defenders in the city to surrender"... Of course, there were also people who agreed to massacre all the families of the Banner soldiers. Most of these people were military generals, because their comrades died at the hands of the Qing army, and they wanted revenge.

Sultan was silent, with a gloomy face. According to experience, whenever this happened, it was a sign that the Supreme was going to be angry. Everyone was terrified and dared not say anything more. At critical moments, there are always bold people. Hu Lianqi, the Minister of Revenue, suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, do you really think that the world will be peaceful after conquering Beijing? Not to mention that there is the pseudo-Qing Xian Wang in Shanhaiguan, the pseudo-Qing Xin Wang in Xuanfu, and the pseudo-Qing Jian Wang in Shaanxi, even the pseudo-Qing kings and governors of different surnames in various places, which one does not have a large army? There are also the remnants of the Ming army in various places, the Zheng family in Taiwan, and the thirteen bandits in Kuidong. Which one is easy to deal with? These bannermen and civilians are a sharp weapon to disintegrate the morale of the Manchurian army. They are just used to persuade the Eight Banners to surrender. How can you slaughter them and anger the bannermen in various places? Leaving a reputation for brutality, it actually helps the pseudo-Qing. How can such a wise monarch like you do it? Moreover, you once sent someone to write a letter to the city saying, 'I only seek revenge on the Aisin-Gioro family. As long as others are willing to surrender, they will be forgiven.' You are not kidding, please think twice!"

Minister Hu roared boldly, which had a deafening effect. Sultan immediately came to his senses. Yes! Even if he took Beijing, the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty was still vast, and the princes and governors in various places still had considerable power. They were all watching how he dealt with the Eight Banners. If he retaliated against the people of the banners, it would surely provoke the desperate resistance of the Eight Banners soldiers in various places, and even make the major local forces think that he was a cruel monarch, unwilling to submit and rise up to the desire to secede. Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed, "I just said something out of turn! Mr. Hu is right, and you should never joke. Since I said that I would only seek revenge on the Aisin-Gioro family, how could I involve innocent people? Pass on my order, take good care of and carefully identify the captured bannermen, distinguish which ones are the families of generals and which ones are the families of ordinary bannermen, and let them write letters to their relatives in the army and persuade them to surrender. If there are families of the surrendered soldiers of the Eight Banners who have already surrendered to David, release them immediately and let them return home. As I said before, I am the emperor of the Kingdom of David first, and then the father of Princess Hami. As the monarch of the nine provinces and ten thousand places, I should have a mind as broad as the sea, and the people of Manchuria are also my people."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of total silence. "Our emperor is wise and enlightened~" I don't know who started the shouting, and the sound of "wise and enlightened" rolled in like a tsunami. (End of this chapter)
