Forty-six Ningxia chaos
The failure of the rebellion is a foregone conclusion.
The rebels had 13 main generals and 38 secondary officers, none of whom were captured alive. The Ming army, who was killed with murderous aura, was killed with the most violent means. Except for a few reserve teams, the reserves were kept alert and hunting the rebels who escaped from the city under the suppression of Ye Mengxiong, all the main combat forces had entered the city to participate in the battle. Every street and every house in the city could become a battlefield for the two armies to fight.
The rebels were insufficient and their morale was not enough. They were defeated by the Ming army. For example, more than 100 rebels trapped in the General Office were transferred by Xiao Ruhui to fight artillery and bombarded them. The entire General Office was almost destroyed and some escaped. They were then rushed up by the Ming army and chopped into minced meat. The other rebels in the government offices were also killed one after another.
During the killing, the tyranny of humans was undoubtedly revealed, and many innocent people and innocent officials were also killed together as rebels. Afterwards, the total number of rebel groups was no more than 23,000, but the total number was more than 36,000.
Ten thousand people who were unidentified died tragically under the butcher knife of the Ming army, just because they did not hide in the house or in the house they should not have hid. Therefore, their heads were counted as rebels' heads to be credited. No one expressed their dissatisfaction, nor did anyone stop them, including Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen. Everyone tacitly claimed that these people were rebels.
Therefore, the Ming army would not bear any responsibility for the death of these people. At most, they would only give some pensions according to the standards, because they had just quelled a great rebellion that was enough to shock the court, and they were all great heroes.
Xiao Ruxun led his troops to attack the Qing Palace. The Qing Palace was entrenched and defended by a group of rebels, and he insisted that Xiao Ruxun guarantee their lives before he would surrender. Xiao Ruxun, who was more or less affected by the violent murderous aura, directly ordered the bombardment of the Qing Palace, blasted the door of the Qing Palace, killed Gong Zhi, the deputy general of the rebels entrenched in it, and killed all 203 rebels, without any of them.
Later, Xiao Ruxun rescued the officials and palace maids of the Prince Qing who were controlled by the rebels. However, the soldiers who were almost crazy began to get restless because they suppressed for too long. As a result, they began to get restless when they saw the white body of the palace maids. Wei Xuezeng and Ye Mengxiong were rigorous in governing the army and were not allowed to lead camp skills.
So, the strong soldiers who had been holding on for more than two months urgently needed to vent their anger. At that time, the cry of the palace maid made Xiao Ruxun recover to Qingming in time. He rushed forward and kicked the soldiers who were so angry that they wanted to blow up the palace maids, and angrily scolded the soldiers, and then barely controlled the soldiers' tyrannical murderous aura.
Then, in the process of rescuing them, Xiao Ruxun got an unexpected news from the old people in Prince Qing's Mansion - although Prince Qing committed suicide, Prince Qing did not die. He was hidden in the cellar by Prince Qing. Later, he was secretly rescued while the night was hidden in a secret room and supported by everyone, waiting for the court's rescuers to rescue Prince Qing and preserve the only bloodline of Prince Xianqing.
This credit fell from the sky and hit Xiao Ruxun's head. Xiao Ruxun immediately led his troops to find the secret room and protected the seven-year-old Prince Qing Zhu Shuixin, and protected it until it was brought back to the camp and handed it over to Ye Mengxiong.
In the early morning, they entered the city, and in the afternoon, the resistance of the rebels in the city was completely suppressed. By the time the setting sun was as bloody, the Qibai Rebellion was completely quelled. The Ningxia Battle, one of the three major expeditions of Wanli, ended with a complete victory in the Ming army. According to the statistics a few days later, in this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 5,400 deaths, injured more than 20,000 people, and most of them survived, with the final death toll of about 6,000.
The rebels were killed more than 50,000 times, and their heads were piled up as high as several mountains. One of them was built by the Ming army into Jingguan and outside the Great Wall, which was more than ten meters high. They showed off their military power to the Mongolians in the Outer Frontier, which shocked the stingy envoys and dared not invade.
This strategy is quite effective. For a long time later, the cavalry on the grassland did not dare to approach the Great Wall. The Beijing Temple was rumored to be a ghost by the Mongols, and they would die as long as they saw it. They could stop the children on the grassland from crying at night.
The blood-like sunset flushed in Ningxia City, and the sporadic battles ended completely. On the evening of the 22nd, even a rebel in Ningxia City no longer existed.
The town of Ningxia, where wolf smoke was everywhere, was destroyed about one-third of the city, was devastated, blood was everywhere, and there were dead people everywhere, and there were crying everywhere. Some women cried with men with broken bodies, some men cried with women with disheveled clothes, and some children cried with their parents' bodies. The whole city of Ningxia cried.
In the end, only more than 300 rebels were surrendered and sent to the mine as slaves. All the rest died. None of the rebel leaders were alive. This was the most complete quelling rebellion in the Ming army since the founding of the country. The next day, at noon on April 23, the internal officials who arrived in Ningxia City to announce the latest imperial edict were shocked.
The inner official saw the generals and school who were covered in blood and murderous aura, and even had a urination, and could not say a word. He made a joke about the boss and was despised by Mei Guozhen. It is said that the inner official died of illness shortly after returning to the capital, and even scared many inner officials that dared not go to the border to announce the edict.
When Xiao Ruxun, who had completely restored his sanity, led his troops to patrol the city walls to rectify order, he couldn't help but sigh. He then ordered all residents not to leave the house without notice. The food will be distributed by the government at the designated location every day, and only one person is allowed to collect it. After the collection, he will go home immediately and close the door and not leave.
At the same time, Xiao Ruxun was afraid that after the city was broken in history, the army soldiers and beasts would take place, so he ordered all soldiers involved in the city to kill the enemy to withdraw from the city and return to the military camp. The soldiers who were originally guarding outside were transferred into the city to maintain order. Those who were disturbing the people would be killed and sent patrol knights to patrol around the main road of the city to inspect the illegal soldiers.
That day, just in the morning, Xiao Ruxun ordered the killing of twenty-four criminal soldiers in a row, and finally controlled the almost out of control and tried his best to protect the order of the city and the safety of the people. Mei Guozhen saw this measure and his evaluation of Xiao Ruxun went to a higher level.
The emperor's new imperial edict happened more than ten days ago, and ordered Ye Mengxiong to take over the position of governor of the three sides. Wei Xuezeng was dismissed from his post and investigated, and the internal officials took the Jinyiwei back to the capital for investigation. The rest of the people remained unchanged, and were limited to three months, that is, the city was broken by the end of July, otherwise everyone would be punished together.
When the imperial edict arrived, everyone had exceeded the target, so they asked the Gongjun newspaper and Mei Guozhen's memorial to be sent to the capital for 800 miles.
After the battle, the exhausted soldiers also began to rest. After the victory of the war, the commander was in theory to reward the soldiers. However, some of the soldiers who had consumed a lot of energy even slept for two days and two nights before waking up. They were still sore and depressed, so they had to postpone it.
After the war ended and before the emperor rewarded the imperial edict, the soldiers were all resting. This was also a rare day of rest. There was no need to do exercises or training. It took only a few days. The soldiers gathered together in groups of three or three to chat and bask in the sun. Everyone said that this battle was really crazy. They were so cruel that they killed people and were so weak that they cut their heads.
After the remaining bricks and stones of the explosion-breaking city wall were cleaned up, everyone saw a terrifying deep pit and trembled. The look of looking at Xiao Ruxun was much more awe.
After the war, Xiao Ruxun became the most authoritative general in the entire army. Not only did the soldiers respect him, but the generals admire him, but even the bosses seemed to pay more attention to Xiao Ruxun. Basically, they would ask Xiao Ruxun for his opinions on military issues and post-war reconstruction. Some generals were very dissatisfied with this, such as Ma Gui.
Ma Gui expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that he was never accepted by literati.
Xiao Ruxun was in a good mood and analyzed it to Ma Gui.
Look, first of all, I made a strategy to win the army, and I was a great hero, so I naturally had the conditions to be valued; then, I was the son-in-law of the former Minister of War, and the person in the eyes of these literary generals; then, I was young and regarded as a talent for creation by them; and also, I had a reputation for literary reputation, I was not illiterate, nor a rough man, and I also wrote well; in the end, I was handsome and had the demeanor of the Confucian general, which was the most important point, and you were too ugly.
