In just the blink of an eye, there were more than 300 prisoners, but only about 50 were smart enough to drop their weapons and scratch the ground to save themselves from death. As for the others, they all fell into a pool of blood. There is no way to fight back.
When a group of Han soldiers who were watching saw this scene, after being stunned for a while, the one who called himself A Gou immediately knelt down and said loudly to the leading general next to Chen Shaoan: "The villain is Han. I am willing to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, and follow the imperial army to kill Jianlu!"
After hearing what he said, these Han soldiers came to their senses. They were still part of the Jianlu army at this time. Immediately, they knelt down and shouted that they wanted to submit to the imperial court and kill Jianlu.
Li Dingguo strode towards them, glanced at the nearly a thousand people, and saw that each of them was thin, and then said loudly: "You are Han people, but you are helping the evildoers. You should all be killed! But when I saw this, some of you shouted , I will definitely kill Jianlu and never surrender in my next life, so I can tell the governor and the emperor the truth and grant your request!"
As a general, he could decide to kill these people on the battlefield, but he had no power to accept them or forgive their previous sins. That's why he said this.
Chen Shaoan heard it from the side and also said: "Behave well. If the Governor and the Emperor know about it later, maybe they can reward you based on your merits. I am an example, so work hard!"
Hearing this, the thousands of soldiers were all overjoyed, and they were relieved after having been worried. Led by that dog, they all thanked General Li Dingguo for not killing him!
After they all stood up, Chen Shaoan suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but look ecstatic on his face. He immediately said to Li Dingguo: "General Li, I know what Jianlu's intention was in letting them come! These people are all The former Dongjiang Army navymen were familiar with water and knew how to build warships and build rafts. They must have come here to help Jianlu transport food back to the inland!"
Li Dingguo is worried about transporting food. When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Agou and others happened to overhear the conversation and knew that they should be building rafts to transport food or something. Although they did not understand what was going on, they were good at building rafts, so they all immediately expressed their opinions and said that they should behave well. , and everything related to water is covered by them.
Li Dingguo was naturally happy, so he took them and escorted about fifty Jianlu back to the mouth of the Tumen River.
The mountains of food were already shocking the Han soldiers, but what shocked them most, including the Jianlu prisoners, was that Prince Heshuosu of the Qing Dynasty was tied to a wooden stake in the open ground. And near the seaside, there were all the corpses of Jianlu.
At this moment, these Han soldiers truly believed that Jianlu was definitely not far from destruction. Look, even Jianlu, who has such a high status as Prince Heshuosu, was captured alive by the Ming army!
As a result, they became even more determined and must perform well!
So, after having a hearty meal, these thousands of people immediately started to build rafts and other things without anyone urging them. Just two days later, Li Dingguo began to swim upstream along the Tumen River. . The fifty or so Jianlu prisoners, including Hauge, were also monitored and became trackers.
Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew everything about their situation through the feedback from the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Li Dingguo in the eavesdropping system. While I am pleased that Li Dingguo responded to the situation and did not burn the grain according to the death order, but transported the grain back, which can solve a large part of the food problem, I am also a little regretful: This Li Dingguo is too good to kill, so give that Xilin Jueluo to Kill, you wasted a Grade A eavesdropping seed!
But when I think about it, it actually doesn’t matter. Every time a battle is won, the eavesdropping system will reward eavesdropping seeds. Especially for larger battles, such as the battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang, Class A eavesdropping seeds will be rewarded. Enough!
At this time, the cavalry troops who were attacking everywhere returned to Shenyang many times to reply. The main reason is that almost all the captives in various places starved to death in the winter, and those who survived had no fighting power at all. As soon as the Ming cavalry arrives, they can take it immediately. Except for a small number of troops who brought back prisoners, most of the troops returned empty-handed. They said that the Jianlu were crazy and killed them all when they tried to resist.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to this. Now his focus is on the Japanese army that has landed in North Korea.
On this day, he gathered the entire army outside Shenyang City. Rewards were given on the spot, and all the soldiers who went on the expedition received grain fields of varying sizes outside Shenyang according to their merits. You must know that the grain fields outside Shenyang City are equivalent to the grain fields outside the capital city. These grain fields were rewarded to ordinary soldiers. Suddenly, shouts of "Long Live Long Live Long Live" were heard in the sky above Shenyang City. It could be heard hundreds of miles away. The joy of the soldiers can be seen from this!
In addition, although no military generals were knighted this time, what everyone did not expect was that Emperor Chongzhen announced in front of the entire army that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding, was loyal to the country and was committed to quelling the rebel rebellion, fighting against the rebels, and finally He made immortal contributions in annihilating the Jianlu, so Lu Xiang was promoted to Liaodong Bo.
At this time, the whole army was shocked. You know, in the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one Wang Yangming among the civil officials and nobility, not counting those who founded the country. This is the second time that Lu Xiangsheng has been knighted.
However, when people who are familiar with history come back to their senses, they feel that it is natural.
Wang Yangming was granted the title of Uncle Xinxin, which was for his military achievements such as pacifying the Chenhao Rebellion. Relatively speaking, the impact of the Chenhao Rebellion on the Ming Dynasty was far less than that of the Jianlu Rebellion in Liaodong. It can be said that the chaos caused by the Jianlu in Liaodong affected the Ming Dynasty for decades. Millions of soldiers and civilians were harmed by the Jianlu.
If Wang Yangming can be knighted, wouldn't it be reasonable for Lu Xiangsheng to be knighted?
However, no matter what, it was a very rare thing in the Ming Dynasty for a civil servant to be knighted. While he is truly worthy of his reputation, he has also attracted the envy of many people.
In this way, in the process of suppressing the Jianlu Rebellion, one civil servant and two military generals were finally knighted. It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng is not in Shenyang and has already led the army to Zhenjiang Fort, which makes him feel a little regretful.
Many military generals in front of the army, such as Cao Bianjiao, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others, could not help complaining about these rebels. After all, it was a "battle to destroy the country". They had to fight to the death to resist, right? The result was good. With the emperor's personal conquest, wasn't his reputation too great? The Jianlu prisoners either fled upon hearing the news or burned themselves to death. There was no decent war at all!
These Jianlu were invincible in field battles and roamed across Liaodong. They were all fucking liars! It was so easy for the emperor to take action!
I originally thought that in this "war of annihilation", there would be two more difficult battles. After fighting the enemy so bravely, I might be able to hope for a knighthood again. But now...
If the emperor really gets a title, he might be ridiculed by crazy people and tiger-bearded men, impeached by the imperial censor, and discussed by civil servants. Even I am embarrassed to be sealed!
This... this damn thing is not coming to Liaodong to fight at all, but just touring!
While they were thinking this, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and saw what they were thinking.
In fact, the original reward this time was planned to start after defeating Jianlu and returning to the capital. However, the landing of Japanese pirates, especially Li Dingguo's interception of the food sent by Japanese pirates to Jianlu, changed Emperor Chongzhen's mind.
Ying Erdai and Fan Wencheng worked hard to obtain so much food, which was used by the 60,000 to 70,000 built captives mainly in Shengjing and Liaoyang to tide over the difficulties. It is certain that this amount of food will last for at least a month. . However, so much food was finally cheaper than the Ming Dynasty. This means that if there are 50,000 troops stationed at Zhenjiang Fort and it lasts for a month, it will not be a big problem.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decided that after defeating the Jianlu, he would simply take advantage of this opportunity and lead the army to Zhenjiang Fort without stopping to see if an opportunity arose to destroy the Japanese army in Korea.
Before the army set off, it was necessary to boost morale at all costs, so the reward was held in advance and directly in Shenyang.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the troops below and said loudly: "Now, the Japanese country has formed an alliance with Jianlu, violated our Ming Dynasty, and has now landed in Korea. I have great Ming Dynasty, how can it be offended by such barbarians? I have expressed my wish. Decide, I will personally conquer North Korea and destroy the Japanese army. All officers and soldiers, are you willing to fight with me again?"
His words were passed down by the loud-voiced Jin Yiwei Colonel. When the soldiers below heard this, they were all overjoyed.
I originally felt that the battle to regain Liaodong and the final battle to exterminate the captives was too unsatisfying. Not to mention the generals who regretted not being knighted, even the ordinary soldiers felt that the grain fields they were allocated were a bit small. Now I heard that there was still a fight. Fighting, that is naturally the most popular among them.
Of course, one of the very important factors is that each of them believes that with the emperor personally leading the army, they will be invincible and every attack will be invincible, and it will often be a great victory, and their own casualties will be very few. With such a premise, who among the soldiers doesn’t like to fight with them?
Therefore, after all the soldiers in the army heard about it, they immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Fight, fight, fight..." regardless of what happened to the Japanese army.
Their strong desire to fight once again echoed in the city of Shenyang.
Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised when he saw this, so he issued an order on the spot, and most of the soldiers from the Hussars Battalion, as well as some soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion and Chariot Battalion, accompanied him on the expedition. Except for the rest who stayed in Shenyang, the other Ming army soldiers returned to Gaizhou where supplies were convenient to wait for the order.
After the war to destroy the captives was over, a new journey began again. However, none of the soldiers complained about this. On the contrary, those who went on the expedition were very happy, while those who returned to Gaizhou and garrisoned in Shenyang were dejected!
In the past, we killed Tatars, but now we kill Japanese pirates!
