Why is it that the heads of real Tatars are thrown into the crowd, and not the two Tatars from the Mongolian and Han armies, or the running dogs of the Green Camp?
The reason is that the braids on these heads look old at first glance, and the facial features are obviously different from those of the Han people, especially the teeth are more yellow than the Han people.
The Party and the old Tatars had been fighting the Qing army for twenty years, and they could still tell at a glance which ones were the real Tatars and which ones were the fake ones.
Hanging high on the bamboo poles are the heads of Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao.
What fell to the ground were more than a hundred real Tatar heads.
This horrific scene made the panicked soldiers fall silent.
Many soldiers who were originally preparing to flee here stopped subconsciously and turned back to look curiously at the place where the voice came from.
"It's Master Monk!"
A surrender soldier suddenly pointed at the head at his feet and shouted to the people around him.
Dozens of pairs of eyes nearby looked at it at the same time. The head with blood that had not yet solidified was indeed a young Manchu official who had been showing off in the camp these days!
"You know who this head is!"
A soldier who went to Cizhucong with the party Shousu picked up a head from the ground and raised it high, shouting to all the party colleagues: "He is the deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria Du Min!"
"Du Min?"
"Deputy Commander!"
"Is this the Tatar leader who wants our father-in-law to surrender?!"
"..."
The crowd exploded, and they crowded forward to look at the head of the Vice-Capital of Manchuria. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and unimaginability.
More and more people were crowding in. Seeing this, the soldier quickly lifted Du Min's head into the air with a spear so that the people behind could see it more clearly.
"This Tatar leader was killed by General Wang himself!"
The soldier actually loudly told the crowd how General Wang Wu led them to bravely rush into the Ci Bamboo Cage and cut down the Manchu Tatars until they howled like ghosts and howled without asking for mercy.
There is no mention of the fact that Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao and the Manchus were in internal strife due to misunderstandings.
The surrendering soldiers were amazed when they heard this, and when they looked at Wang Wu who was holding a big sword, they fell to the ground in admiration.
Wang Wu, who was under the blood flag, had no expression on his face, but in his heart he had some appreciation for the soldier.
At this time, what he needs is to build momentum.
What is momentum?
Strength is to make others believe in you!
The truth is not important, what is important is that Du Min's head is here!
The heads of other Manchurian soldiers were also passed around in the hands of the surrendered soldiers.
It seems that they are not heads, but pearls at night.
During the transfer process, the eyes of the surrendered soldiers were obviously different from the past.
Some old soldiers even opened the mouths of the Manchu soldiers to give pointers to the young people around them.
"Brothers of the old Shun army, you followed the late emperor in the north and south, and fought many tough and vicious battles. Which one of you has not experienced hundreds of battles! And which one of you has not had a bloody feud with the Tatars! Do you really want to grow pigtails today? Are you despised by Manchuria?"
Wang Wu took a few steps closer to the crowd with a big knife in his hand.
The "first emperor" he refers to is not the escaped emperor Yongli who was strangled to death by Wu Sangui's order, nor Chongzhen who died for his country by hanging on a coal mountain, nor Hongguang who was taken to Beijing to be executed, nor Longwu who was captured and killed by the Qing army, but It was Li Zicheng, Emperor Yongchang of Dashun.
As the "Second Generation Shun", he could not but call Li Zi the first emperor.
Although the Zhongzhen Camp was reorganized into the Ming Army, Li Zi became the "First Emperor" and Mrs. Gao was always called the "Queen Mother" internally.
This is not only the respect and remembrance of Li Zicheng and Empress Dowager Gao by the soldiers of the old Shun Army, but also a simple souvenir of their past glory.
Although the Shun Army led by Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao were not direct descendants of the Laoying led by Li Laiheng, they were still members of the Lao Shun Army, and 60 to 70% of their subordinates were former Dashun Army soldiers.
In this way, out of political and emotional needs, Wang Wu naturally wanted to honor Li Zicheng as "the first emperor".
There were too many surrendered soldiers in the school field, more than 2,000 people. Without a loudspeaker, Wang Wu could not let more surrendered soldiers hear what he was saying.
At this time, Xu Lin stood up and motioned for everyone to loudly repeat the general's voice with him.
Hundreds of people roared in unison.
The voice shook the chaotic crowd, and at the same time, Wang Wu's words reached the ears of every surrendered soldier word for word.
More than two thousand pairs of eyes looked towards the direction where Wang Wu was standing almost instantly.
Many old people think of the late emperor, a piece of stone, the Battle of Huaiqing, the Battle of Tongguan, the Battle of Jingzhou, and the persistence of the past twenty years...
Then I saw that everyone around me had braids, and many people's eyes immediately turned red.
It’s not that they don’t want to fight, but the Duke and the Marquis don’t want to fight!
Wang Wu can understand the mood of the surrendering soldiers, and many times they can't help themselves.
"Everyone knows that when King Li Jin of Xiying died of illness, he left a last words saying that he would rather die in the desert than surrender!"
After speaking, Wang Wu paused deliberately to make it easier for his subordinates to repeat.
"Thinking about how heroic my late emperor was when he was still alive, the Eight Great Kings of Xiying, Zhang Xianzhong, always stood up for my late emperor! But if we surrender to Manchuria today, wouldn't it mean that Xiying would overwhelm my Shunying!"
After another pause, he roared angrily: "If you really become the oxen and horses of the Tatars, how will you go to see the late emperor in the future!"
"...How will you look when you meet the late emperor in the future!"
This time, it was not only Wang Wu's direct subordinates who were shouting, but also Ma Changyuan and others.
The roars of the chorus were like the deafening sound of thunder, impacting the hearts of all the surrendered soldiers on the campus. Many people showed signs of pain and regret on the spot.
Some veterans couldn't help crying.
Wang Wu was silent.
After taking a few dozen breaths, he continued: "The current situation is critical, but in times of national calamity, someone must step forward to fight! I want to fight side by side with you, no matter how difficult it is, I will still fight, and I will never regret it even if I die!"
"Although I am trapped, I still fight, and I will never regret it even after nine deaths!"
The roar from the crowd was even louder than before.
Many soldiers who surrendered were already moved by this.
But this is not enough.
Wang Wu took a deep breath, looked around at the shaved surrender soldiers, and said angrily: "Brothers of the old Shun Army, I know that you are desperate, have no hope, and don't know who to fight for. That's why you followed the Party and Tajikistan." The two thieves will have their hair shaved off!
But I want to tell you, we have never fought for the Ming Dynasty, let alone his Ming Dynasty. We have fought for ourselves! "
After saying that, he slammed the handle of the big sword on the ground, and shouted bitterly: "If we really surrender today and abandon my Han family clothes, what's the point of living in this world? It's just to make him laugh at Manchuria!" "
More and more people are repeating it.
There are white hairs and black hairs.
There are children's voices in the distance.
The sky above the school grounds was filled with grief and anger.
"As long as we don't surrender and live and die together, Wang believes that the mountains and rivers will never be full of fishy smell! Moreover, we are not desperate, we still have hope!"
Wang Wu turned sharply and pointed toward the southeast, "Shuai Liu is still there, and Shuai Hu is also there. We are not alone!"
After reciting, he suddenly knelt down in front of the surrendering soldiers and kowtowed heavily to them. When he looked up, tears were streaming down his face:
"If my father dies and cannot be buried, if the country is destroyed and cannot be saved, the only thing I can do today is death! Wang hereby asks all old brothers to follow me and fight again!"
There is no recitation.
Some were just roars of "fight again".
