Chapter 461 The Han Family’s World
Chen Cao shook his head and said: "Huang Taiji, from the time Li Chengliang raised tigers to the rebellion in Jianzhou, in the past thirty years, you Jianzhou Jurchens have entered the pass many times and killed millions of our Han people. To be honest, you The death of the Jianzhou Jurchens is not a pity;"
Then the conversation changed: "However, God is kind to you. After all, you Jianzhou Jurchens are my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Today, your Jurchen tribe has no way out. I will give you two Choice, firstly, to ensure the survival of most of the Jurchens, surrender, I can save them from death. Secondly, you resist stubbornly. After I defeat you in this battle, I will kill all the Jurchens, even the wild Jurchens in Haixi. Let it go and let your Jurchen tribe disappear from history."
This is the threat of Chiguoguo.
Huang Taiji sneered, pointed at the cavalry behind him and said: "Now, we have more than 50,000 elite soldiers from the Eight Banners, and two Mongolian troops with 100,000 soldiers. These 150,000 people may not have the strength to compete with you."
"Hahaha..." Chen Cao laughed several times, and then said: "Where is Ning Wan? Let him come out. Is this how he gives you advice?"
Huang Taiji's expression turned cold: "Why, Emperor Ming also looks down on me, the Qing Dynasty?"
"No, no, no," Chen Cao waved his hand: "Ning Wan, I was born in Liaodong Wei, I must not have told you my ancient Chinese teachings, right?"
"Non-my family, its heart must be different..."
Huang Taiji seemed to understand something. He looked back at the Mongolian cavalry not far behind him, then turned around and said, "It seems that you bribed Horqin and Bahrain?"
"I have Bu Mu Butai in my hands, and a group of Horqin's nobles to help me. It's just a matter of words to instigate them to rebel."
Huang Taiji's hands were trembling. He wanted to draw his sword and kill Chen Cao at this moment. After all, the hatred of seizing his wife was a big hatred.
Seeing Huang Taiji's appearance, Chen Cao felt relieved and said: "Da Yu'er has dedicated himself to me. You are a dying person, and I will not embarrass you."
"Chen Cao..." Huang Taiji shouted angrily through gritted teeth.
With a bang, Huang Taiji cursed angrily and drew out his long knife. Before his order could be issued, a signal flare flew into the sky above Horqin's headquarters.
Wu Keshan drew his sword and shouted: "Horqin warriors, at a critical moment of life and death, the Great Khan has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, follow me to kill the enemy..."
Qitat also drew his sword, glanced at the confused Huang Taiji in the distance, and then he and Wu Keshan took the lead in charging toward the Chinese Eight Banners Army.
When Manzhu Xili saw Horqin's betrayal in front of the formation, he was also quite discerning. After drawing his sword and shouting a few times, he led the people from the Bahrain Department to kill the Eight Banners soldiers. For a moment, the three parties were in front of Huang Taiji. There was a fight behind them.
Huang Taiji's heart was bleeding. He didn't expect that he had lost so completely. He regretted not listening to Ning Wanwo's advice and guarding the two Mongols, and regretted agreeing with Lamu and others to force Ning Wanwo to be killed.
Chen Cao said at this time: "Huang Taiji, I will give you a chance. I will fight you in a fair battle here. If you can defeat me, I will let your Eight Banners family members and cavalry return to Liaodong. I will never break my promise. How about that?"
Huang Taiji looked at Chen Cao with bloodshot eyes, his lips were bitten so hard that they bled, and he said word by word: "I am the Qing Dynasty, Wan Sheng..."
After saying that, he suddenly drew out his long sword, slapped his horse and charged towards Chen Cao.
The distance between the two sides was ten steps, and the war horse rushed in front of Chen Cao before he could even start running. When Chen Cao saw this, he quickly drew his sword. He raised his sword forward and collided violently with Huang Taiji's sword.
Chen Cao only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and then he saw that a gap was made in the two men's swords. He did not dare to neglect at all, just like when he fought against Mulhaqi, when Huang Taiji put away the sword and slashed down again, his whole body Jumped out and hit Huang Taiji with his right shoulder.
The two fell off their horses together and began to use their sword skills on the ground.
The situation on the entire battlefield seemed special. The Mongolian soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers two miles away were fighting fiercely. Both sides rushed to kill each other repeatedly. In the middle, the two emperors were engaged in a fierce life-and-death showdown. Behind them, the Ming army was ready to move. Various ministries, as well as Da Yu'er and other Huang Taiji's wives and concubines who were placed in front of the formation by Chen Cao.
Chen Cao's purpose was very simple. He had to kill Huang Taiji himself in front of the Jurchens and Mongols in order to make them completely surrender to him.
You Shiwei saw that Horqin's two 100,000-strong Mongolian troops were beaten down by 50,000 Eight Banners soldiers in several rounds. He couldn't hold on anymore. Then he glanced at Chen Cao and Huang Taiji who were fighting in the middle, and raised his hand. He drew his spear and shouted: "Kill him..."
One hundred thousand cavalry were dispatched in unison, heading towards the melee cavalry team in the distance. This moment turned into a big melee from all directions. However, with the addition of You Shiwei's new force, coupled with the cooperation of Horqin and Bahrain, the Eight Banners The soldiers went from counter-suppression to being passively beaten.
Bang...
Chen Cao was actually knocked down by Huang Taiji's elbow. This was also because he was not wearing armor. Although he could move easily in a powerful suit, he completely suffered the disadvantage of not having armor when fighting in close combat.
Seeing Chen Cao fall to the ground, Huang Taiji suddenly rushed up and slashed at Chen Cao with a notched knife in his hand. At the critical moment, Chen Cao threw the knife forward and blocked Huang Taiji with his knife. The moment he blocked it, he stood up, drew out the bayonet he carried, and stabbed it in from the lower right side of Huang Taiji's armor the moment he reacted.
Huang Taiji clasped Chen Cao with his left hand, his whole body trembling, and the knife in his hand suddenly slashed towards his neck.
Chen Cao used all his strength to finally break away from Huang Taiji, then suddenly stepped back and kicked him on the breastplate.
Huang Taiji fell to the ground in front of everyone. The Eight Banners soldiers in the melee watched this scene and cried bitterly. Chen Cao stood up, his whole body was sore. He even wanted to use a gun just now, but he held back.
Seeing Huang Taiji, who had fallen to the ground, bleeding profusely due to the bayonet, he was lying on the ground unable to use any strength, and his whole body was exhausted.
Chen Cao knew that he had lost too much blood, so he stood up calmly, came to Huang Taiji's horse, and took off the long bow from the saddle.
He came to Huang Taiji, helped him up and sat cross-legged on the ground, but found that his strength was getting weaker and weaker, so he turned around and came behind him, put the bowstring around his neck, and then pressed his knee against his neck. The back begins to exert force.
As Huang Taiji's struggle became smaller and smaller, Chen Cao's hands even began to tremble, the bow string cut into his neck, and blood continued to flow.
"I, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will never be strangled to death by a bowstring again...
Ming dynasty...
Forever and ever..."
The genius of the generation, Huang Taiji, eventually died in the hands of the Ming Emperor Chen Cao, who was strangled to death by Chen Cao himself.
Huang Taiji's former wives and concubines here all burst into tears, but Dayu'er did not cry. He knew that the man in front of him was the bravest person in the world and worthy of Horqin's trust.
Over there, watching Huang Taiji being killed by his own hands, the Eight Banners soldiers were wailing in pain. In the end, they put down their weapons and stopped fighting. They all dismounted and knelt down towards where Huang Taiji was sitting cross-legged, bending over and crying bitterly.
Chen Cao was also very tired, but as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he should accept the honor of killing the enemy emperor at this moment. I saw him riding on his horse, raising his sword and shouting: "Long live the Ming Dynasty..."
"Long live the Ming Dynasty..."
"Long live the Ming Dynasty..."
"Long live the Ming Dynasty..."
The thunderous shouts spread from hundreds of thousands of people and resounded in the sky above the stone.
After this battle, there were no hidden dangers in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Xin rode up to Chen Cao, glanced at the dead Huang Taiji and said, "Your Majesty, how should I deal with it?"
"Any Jianzhou Jurchen who is willing to surrender will be spared from death. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed..."
"yes..."
"As for Huang Taiji..." Chen Cao thought for a while: "I ordered his body to be collected and buried on the spot with the decency of a king of his country, but he was not allowed to go to the underground palace."
"yes..."
The burial of Huang Taiji with the prince's ceremony can be regarded as a great honor for him. After all, since the Wanli period, the establishment of Jurchen states has been regarded as a rebellion rather than recognition of their Qing Dynasty.
When it comes to Chen Cao, this is still the case.
"The battle here is over. I will take my people back to Funing first and tell Song Che to let him lead the troops to do the next thing."
...
In the Funing Guard City, Chen Cao's focus was still on the hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.
"The Jurchen Rebellion in Jianzhou has been completely subsided by my hands, but the aftermath is not that easy." Chen Cao took a deep breath and said: "The Jurchen tribe was changed to Manchu tribe, and the name of the Eight Banners was withdrawn. No. Mongolians have been changed to Mongols, and the Mongolian Eight Banners system given by the founding people will also be abolished. With so many people, killing them all is not an option."
All the generals nodded in agreement, and Li Yan, who hurriedly came from Beijing, also agreed, but then he said: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens...Although the Manchus surrendered, they still have reactionary forces in their hearts. If they can't do it, Well, these people may create hidden dangers for the court in the future."
Li Yan still wanted to pay attention to Li Chengliang's tiger-raising problem. Although the Manchus were easy to use, from the rebellion in the Wanli period to the almost destruction of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed a situation worthy of attention.
Chen Cao also agreed: "This matter cannot be completed in one or two sentences. After Huang Chunyao goes north from Xuzhou, we will continue to discuss their fate."
As he said that, he thought of what Bumbutai said to him, and said, "Go and call Manzhu Xili and Qitat, as well as Ezhe."
As the Great Khan of Mongolia, Ezhe was different around him. Moreover, his choice of team was very clear. At least he made great efforts when attacking Horqin and Bahrain. At that time, he still remembered the words of the Jin Yiwei.
When I saw Chen Cao, I performed Mongolian etiquette and then waited for Chen Cao to reward him. After all, the reward of food and drink for 100,000 cavalry was very important.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Cao met E Zhe, his first words made E Zhe break into a cold sweat.
"Ezhe, since your father Lin Dan Khan's treachery led to the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong in the second year of Tianqi, your Chahar tribe has been raising sheep in Qinghai, sitting back and watching the confrontation between the imperial court and the Jianzhou rebels. What's going on, you guys? Are your cattle and sheep fat?"
