Blood from Daming

Chapter 84 Release
Huang Taiji tidied up his soldiers and was so angry that they almost fainted. This time, most of the cavalry in the brigade charged forward were warriors from Jianzhou. They were killed by a burst of gunpowder explosion by the Ming army. In addition, hundreds of people were trampled to death and dragged to death. , Nearly 1000 people died in this chaos.

Among them, the Jianzhou soldiers accounted for the vast majority. The most annoying thing was that Niu Luzhang Jingda Yinbu came back alive. There were more than 7000 people, and less than 1000 people came back. Huang Taiji wanted to chop him with a knife.

But when he saw Da Yinbu was pulled back by his Niulu soldiers with a straw bag, the eye-catching iron arrow was still on Da Yinbu's chest, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth: "Xue Yun, um, it's Xue Yun again." With a wave of his hand, Dayinbu was carried away.

Xue Liu went to the captive camp on horseback after dawn. The treatment of the captives captured yesterday was much different from last time. The meal in the captive camp last night was steaming braised horse meat and white rice. That smells delicious, Mongolian captives. I almost ate my own fingers, but fortunately, the prisoner camp had enough pilaf. These hungry ghosts hadn’t eaten such a full meal for many years, and they had a good night’s sleep comfortably. The officers began to call the prisoners together.

Xue Liu was still a little shocked when he saw more than 5000 people crowded in the dark in the dam. It would take a lot of effort to catch sheep all over the mountain.

Xue Yun: "The Mongols and us Han people have always been good friends. You were instigated by the Jurchen Tartars to oppose Daming. We Daming have always had good tea and wine when our guests come, and steel knives and forks when our enemies come. There is no benefit for the Tartars to sacrifice their lives," thousands of Mongols buzzing among themselves in the dam.

Xue Liu shouted: "Bring up the silver." Immediately, dozens of Ming soldiers escorted five large boxes of silver and came to the Mongolian captives. It's like boiling water in a pot.

Xue Liu: "The Mongolian warriors who killed the Tartars yesterday, please stand up and come and get your own reward."

There was about a slight pause, and soon dozens of Mongols stood up and walked towards the silver pile. A row of Ming soldiers quickly stood beside the silver, and ordered the Mongols who came up to line up one by one. The Tartar head receipts came forward one by one to receive the silver reward.

The 5000 people in the dam looked at these dozens of uncles, holding 50 taels of silver in their hands, and one of them actually received 100 taels of silver. Be good, these Mongolians were thinking in their hearts that they gave cold money to the Tartars yesterday Come on, hey, isn't this silver yours? Hey, it's a pity that if you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

Just when everyone was happy and some regretted it, a Mongolian who received money shouted: "Ming Dynasty chief, this is unreasonable. We killed Niulu, so we should get an extra share, only 50 taels." I'm really at a loss."

Xue Liu turned around and asked his subordinates: "Are there any other warriors who can prove that they have killed the Tartar officials?" Dozens of Mongols looked at each other for a while and shook their heads.

Xue Liu: "Okay, everyone hasn't been able to prove how powerful the Tatar was, but yesterday there was indeed a Tatar Niulu that was handed in by one of you. Now I will give the reward to this strong man, everyone? Opinion." Dozens of Mongolians nodded, and some directly said they had no opinion.

Xue Liu asked the strong man to take a bag of silver from the soldiers and put it in the strong man's hand: "To kill a Tartar Niulu, the court rule is 300 taels, here is 250 taels, you can see if it is right."

The brawny man looked at it and nodded: "General, 300 taels of silver must be a lot." Satisfied, he retreated, Xue Liu bowed his head and asked his subordinates, who left the prisoner camp soon.

The Mongols in the dam had been waiting there and began to get a little annoyed. At this moment, a group of people and horses lined up outside the gate of the prisoner camp and entered the prisoner camp.

The Mongolian captives all looked at the group of people entering the camp. There were about 300 people, all Mongolian horses, brand new Ming Dynasty armor and Mongolian robes. Flag, the team came to the captives neatly, 300 Mongolian cavalry in costumes lined up in two fan-shaped formations, and a group of female soldiers came out surrounded by a female general.

The prisoners in the prisoner camp were stunned by this formation. There was a large group of Mongolian cavalry in this important town of Ming Dynasty. Many people were out of their heads.

Gilgrad stepped forward and shouted: "Her Royal Highness Princess Harizhula, leader of the Horqin Borzigit clan's anti-gold national defense army of the Mongolian golden family, has arrived."

Only then did the captives understand what had been going on for a long time. It turned out to be Suo, the daughter of Zaisang from the Horqin tribe, but they didn’t know when the Horqin tribe and the Ming Dynasty were fighting fiercely. Being sold by Wu Keshan, many people began to gnash their teeth against Wu Keshan, but most people were still eagerly waiting for this group of Mongolians messing around in the Ming Dynasty to come up with something.

Gilgle: "Her Royal Highness Princess Harijula ​​pleaded for everyone and has reached an agreement with the imperial envoy Xue of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you are no longer enemies of the Ming Dynasty, you can be released and go home."

The captives took a long time to understand that there was such a good thing, and they thought that they would have to shed a layer of skin if they didn’t die. Now His Royal Highness Princess Harijula ​​pleaded with the Ming Kingdom for everyone. Haha, everyone is free now and can return to their own lives. When I went to my grassland hometown, everyone was happy and excited and yelled, and some began to kneel to thank Princess Harijula ​​for her kindness and wish her a happy and long life and the blessing of Changshengtian.

Jillegler pressed down with his hands, waited for everyone to calm down, and then said: "Everyone be quiet, His Royal Highness has prepared food for you to go home outside the camp gate, now I announce two things, the first After Datong City of Ming Dynasty issued an order to kill Tartars, Mongols who killed Tartars could exchange their heads in Datong for money. Each head was 50 taels of silver, and those with identity certificates were paid according to their official positions. Children, women and children were bought at 25 taels of silver. It is to welcome everyone to join our Great Mongolian Anti-Gold National Defense Army to defend our own grassland parents, children, wives, daughters, cattle and sheep, and those who are willing can stand under the banner beside me."

The captives were in a mess, everyone was discussing these two things, arguing with each other in a chaotic manner, and after a long time, some people started to walk towards the big banner beside Gilgrad, and a few to dozens of people finally gathered There were more than 1000 people, and only a few Mongolians who had killed the Tartars returned to the crowd. Most of them joined the Anti-Gold National Defense Army. Harijula ​​also fulfilled his promise and released the remaining more than 3000 Mongolian prisoners.

Huang Taiji sent people to collect the defeated soldiers. On the second day, a thousand Jurchen knights from Dayinbu came back, a total of 500 people, plus those who were killed by the bombing and trampled to death, more than a thousand warriors in Jianzhou were killed.

Less than a thousand Mongols from the Bayuete tribe and the Kuerga tribe came back, and many of them were stopped. Now Huang Taiji feels that the five tribes of Khalkha in Mongolia see him differently. Although everyone is not noisy But morale was low, especially Huang Taiji, whose soldiers were whispering to each other, had a bad premonition.

Huang Taiji summoned Abatai, the leaders of the five Mongolian Khalkha tribes, Niu Luzhang Jingboerjin Yaxichan, and others to discuss the military situation. Everyone came together and Huang Taiji began to speak, but everyone couldn't cheer up. The two departments of the Qibush Department have not suffered losses, and they have not seen the Ming Army's powerful influence. The influence is not too great. The leader of the Jalut Department Ji Laxi has seen the Ming Army's big fireworks, and he doesn't know where he went. , as soon as he came in and sat there, he was in a daze. The leaders of the Bayuete Department and the Kuerga Department all followed Niu Luzhang Jingda Yinbu to the south to fight the Ming Dynasty. Those who are sitting here are not considered to be the masters.

Huang Taiji: "Let's have a discussion to see how we can take down the town's border fort to let out a sigh of relief and boost the morale of the army. My idea is to let everyone have fun by not sealing the sword after the fort is opened. Keep a fire burning."

Just as Huang Taiji finished speaking, a servant came in and reported: "Master Belle, just now Niu Luzhang Jingda Yinbu passed by."

After hearing this, Huang Taiji became angry and threw everything on the small stool in front of him out of the tent, stood up and drew out his waist knife, and slashed at the small stool until the small stool was smashed to pieces. There was no movement, and the big and small bosses in the meeting didn't dare to say a word, waiting for Huang Taiji's order.

Huang Taiji made a decision on his own without discussing with the others. Everyone went back and prepared to attack the town border fort tomorrow, with a limit of three days to break the fort.

Abatai, Niu Luzhang Jingboerjin, Yaxichan and others are better. The leaders of the five tribes of Khalkha in Mongolia are not happy. What does Huang Taiji mean? It is limited to three days to break the castle. If all the subordinates are dead, we bosses are still playing a fart, we are all dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's decision, but seeing that Huang Taiji is on fire, no one is willing to touch this nail.

Everyone was about to leave when Huang Taiji's servants came in again and reported: "Master Belle, many people from the Bayuete and Kuerga tribes have returned from the south. It is said that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty released them."

Huang Taiji looked surprised and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Abatai, Niu Luzhang Jingboerjin, Yaxichan, and the leaders of the five Mongolian Khalkha tribes were also very shocked. There is such a thing that they were captured only yesterday, and they are released today. Could it be that the Ming army has a long head? With temptation on his face, he followed Huang Taiji out of the tent.

It wasn't until Huang Taiji and the others saw the returned captives that they understood what was going on. Huang Taiji really spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out immediately.

Now everyone was in a mess and rushed to carry Huang Taiji back to the big tent, and called the Jianzhou witch doctor to treat Huang Taiji. After working for more than half an hour, Huang Taiji woke up slowly and opened his eyes. He let out a long sigh of relief.

Huang Taiji repeatedly ordered: "Go to the north quickly and stop those who want to escape back to the Mongolian desert." The servants obeyed and left the tent.

Let's talk to Huang Taiji to comfort him. Someone brought Mang Gurtai over to let the two brothers chat with each other. Unexpectedly, seeing Mang Gurtai half-dead, Huang Taiji couldn't take it all at once. He passed out again.

Everyone didn't expect that inviting Mang Gurtai here not only did not bring a good mood to Huang Taiji, but also made Huang Taiji feel troubled. What are these things? In the eyes of your Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai is already a nuisance to everyone, but I ended up like this just to save you. Thinking of this, I can't help but grit my teeth with hatred.
