419 Death of Zilharang
After Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he did not rest. Instead, he went to the wounded soldiers in Guihua City to visit the injured soldiers, and then went to the top of the city, while looking at the battlefield ruins while listening to the reports of the generals from all walks of life.
He Renlong first reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, 556 soldiers of his troops will be killed in battle and injured 1,125!"
"Your Majesty, I will kill 836 soldiers of the troops and injured 1,236!" Hu Dawei reported immediately.
"Your Majesty, I will kill two of my troops in battle and injured 18 people!" Wu Sangui continued to report.
“…”
In this battle, the casualties were mainly in the Cavalry Camp. In the Cavalry Camp, the troops of Hu Dawei who came later had higher casualties. The main reason was that the troops of Hu Dawei suffered the night attack from Jianlu. The accidental explosion of gunpowder caused dozens of soldiers to be killed and injured.
To sum up, the Ming army killed about 1,500 people in battle, and the number of soldiers injured was about 2,500. Although the proportion of the total number of Ming army expeditions this time was not high, the losses for the Cavalry Camp were a bit huge.
Generally speaking, even if the elite army fights cold weapons, if the combat losses are so high, they will definitely collapse.
However, the reason why the Cavalry Camp did not collapse was because they knew that if they just had to persevere, they would definitely win, and there would be reinforcements behind them.
Another point is that the highest casualties are night battles and subsequent melee. In this case, no one knows how casualties they suffer and how casualties they are on their side are already in chaos, so there is no such thing as collapse.
Of course, this also has a certain relationship with the style of the two generals of the Cavalry Camp and the Cavalry Camp itself as the elite of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was still a little heavy after hearing this report.
After all, the Cavalry Camp was an elite cavalry in his hands, and he lost nearly one-fifth of it at once, which also included the situation where the injured soldiers could return to the team.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the battlefield traces left inside and outside Guihua City, especially the large pit that was bombed out of Beiying, and was even more alert to the war. He secretly reminded him that he must not be careless, must not be proud, and must be careful in every war!
Just as he was thinking this, the generals from all walks of life began to report the results of the battle again.
As a result, the atmosphere that had just become a little heavy, suddenly improved a lot.
"Your Majesty, you have seized a total of 11,376 Jianlu war horses!"
"Your Majesty, capturing Jianlu pseudo-Prince Zheng Aisin Jueluo Jirgalang!"
"Your Majesty, capturing Jianzhuo Wuying's prince Aisin Gioro Ajige!"
“…”
Jirgalang and Ajige were both caught by Wu Sangui. He rushed so fast and ran in the front, just for these two targets. Although they had a horse to run away, Wu Sangui had already set his sights on them and arranged for one man to chase them with two horses. He returned to Guihua City more than an hour before Emperor Chongzhen arrived.
In this battle, more than 4,700 Jianlu people were killed and 6,576 Jianlu were captured, and no wounded.
More than 10,000 war horses captured by Jianlu and the cattle and sheep of Jianlu were all found by the Ming army, with thousands of heads. There were some other food, but not many.
...
Listening to the many achievements reported by the generals from all walks of life, it can be said that this is a great victory! If the Urat tribe and the Chahar tribe are included, it will be one of the unprecedented great victory.
Generals from all walks of life, including Emperor Chongzhen, smiled when listening to these results.
However, after reporting the results of the battle, He Renlong hesitated for a while and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, you will find many corpses of the Ming people..."
These Ming people were the old and weak who were plundered from the northwest by Jianlu, and those who had been starved to death before. Those who did not starve to death were finally instructed by Jianlu to pull the Chahar tribe and Urat tribe to the gates to abuse and kill.
When I thought of this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn again.
At this moment, Wu Zhong, commanding the General of the Jinyiwei, went up to the top of the city and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Jirgalang and Ajige, the generals have verified it, that's right. In addition, when the generals are imprisoned outside the city, when they see the generals appear, many Tartars said that they are not the Jurchens of Jianzhou, and they are forced to surrender to my Ming Dynasty and serve as the minions of my Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said with a cold face: "At this time they said they were forced to surrender? Why didn't they say they wanted to surrender earlier? They also killed my Ming people! If I accept their surrender, how can I be worthy of the dead Ming people?"
Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the endless Hetao Plain, looked at the direction to the west, and finally shouted coldly: "Huqing?"
"The last one is here!" Hu Dawei immediately stepped out and clasped his fists and said.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at it, his tone was very cold, and he said sternly: "Since they said they wanted to be the minions of the Ming Dynasty, please drive them out and let them kill the Jianzhou Jurchens!"
"The last one will follow the order!" Hu Dawei was stunned when he heard this, then immediately received the order, and immediately turned around and stepped down from the city.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at his back, and then issued an order to take Jirgalang and Ajige to the top of the city.
This time, Wu Zhong, commanding the Jinyiwei, took the order and brought Jirgalang and Ajige.
Although these two people were not tied up, if the person who knew them saw them at this time, they would probably not be able to recognize them.
Jirgalang was like a walking corpse, without any soul at all, but was scolded by the Jinyiwei School Captain. It can be seen that this battle killed all his energy and spirit.
Ajige's hair was disheveled, and even his face was very dirty, as if he had applied it with soil and grass. Although some of it had been wiped off, it could still be seen. At this time, he was afraid of his hands and feet, and he no longer had the majesty he was as the prince of Doro Wuwei.
Seeing the Emperor of Ming, surrounded by many generals in the Ming Dynasty, standing on the top of the city. Without the need for the captain of the Jinyiwei to scold him, Ajige knelt down first and shouted loudly: "The villain is calling out to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming, long live, long live, long live!"
His action stunned everyone. This was the first leader of Jianlu and had no integrity at all.
Jirgalang came to his senses when he shouted this. Looking at his servile appearance, in a trance, he seemed to see Chai Shihua who was killed by him.
Turning back to look at the Ming emperor, he immediately remembered what Ying'erdai had told him that the eyes of the Ming emperor could penetrate people's hearts, as if they could see through your heart.
At this time, he saw that the Emperor of Ming was also staring at him. His eyes were very intimidating, making him feel a little afraid to look at each other.
At this moment, the Jinyiwei Clerk behind him kicked him in the calves and directly pressed him down.
Jirgalon immediately came to his senses and struggled to stand up, but he didn't want to kneel down.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he just sneered, defeating more than 10,000 troops, and still wants backbone?
At this moment, he heard a noise outside the city. He knew that it was Hu Dawei who was carrying out his will, so he shouted coldly: "Stand up and take a look!"
As soon as the captain of the Jinyiwei saw it, he stopped pressing it. Jirhalang immediately stood up, feeling a little strange, so he turned to look outside the city.
Ajig didn't see any response, and was compared with Jirgalang, and felt very embarrassed in his heart. At the same time, he secretly hated Jirgalang, what do you mean?
He was also a little curious, so he stood up and turned to look out of the city.
In the original Ming army camp outside the city, teams of Qing troops, under the custody of a large group of fully armed Ming troops, walked out and came outside the military camp.
There were more than 6,000 Jianlu soldiers, and the number was still very large.
When Jirgalang saw so many Qing troops being captured, he thought that they should be executed by the Ming army soon, and he felt like a knife and regretted his incompetence.
He and Ajige both spoke the Ming Dynasty's official language. At this time, he heard Hu Dawei announce loudly there: "The emperor's words, you say that you want to be the minions of the Ming Dynasty, so you will kill the real Jianzhou Jurchen among you first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Jianzhou prisoners were shocked. They did not expect that they would attack the Jianzhou Jurchens like this?
When the Jianzhou Jurchens heard this, they immediately took precautions against the non-Jianzhou Jurchen accomplices around them. Many of them also wanted to surrender, but the Jianzhou Jurchens came from the Jianzhou Jurchens and suddenly lost their hope.
After a while of the disturbance, those Jianlu soldiers from the Jurchens of Jianzhou saw the Ming army soldiers staring at him. In the end, who shouted first and rushed towards a Jianzhou Jurchens next to him.
Some people took the lead, and others followed one after another and rushed towards the real Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars.
There were more than 6,000 Jianlu soldiers, at least 4,000 Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars, and they knew that those people were, those people were not, so they quickly formed a fight with more and less. However, the Ming army did not issue them weapons, and they were all fighting with their fists, and the fight was quite fierce.
On the top of the city, Jirgalang and Ajig were both very surprised and stared at the scene in front of them. They did not expect that one day they would see this situation.
The Ming army soldiers all looked at the farce outside the city coldly, watching them choke each other and beat them...
The cold wind was whistling, and these Jianlu soldiers were wearing thick clothes, so they started fighting with bare hands and fists. They wanted to kill someone, especially the Jianzhou Jurchens who knew they were going to die, and they were struggling to death. That was quite difficult and exhausting.
But even so, it only took a longer time to see that some people were beaten to death. Relatively speaking, the deaths were basically all the Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars. After all, their number was about half, but there were also unlucky people from other tribes who were killed by the Jianzhou Jurchens.
On the top of the city, no one spoke, just watching the duel outside the city.
More and more people were lying motionless on the ground. After about half an hour, the Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars were finally killed.
People on the city wall can see that these Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars died a bit miserable. Because they were all naked, most of them had a full meal first, and many of them had their money rat tails removed and a large piece of their scalp fell off. Many of the Tartars died because they were strangled to death, and their faces were mostly bruised and swollen.
These Jianlu who were beaten to death must have never expected that one day he would have such a way of death!
Many of the non-Jianzhou Jurchens died. Even those who were alive had exhausted their energy and knelt there and gasped.
A scene outside the city had fallen. Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his gaze and said coldly to Ajige: "If you want to survive, just kill him to show your sincerity!"
When Ajig heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, so he turned his head and looked at Jirgalang. At this time, Jirgalang also heard it, and turned his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other.
Then, Jirgalang turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said sternly: "Go to be your dream of spring and autumn! Don't think that we are like those outside the city, we are all from the Aisin Jueluo family..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt someone strangling his neck from behind. He subconsciously began to resist and reached out to break the hand that surrounded his neck.
However, he had lost the opportunity and could not make it happen at all. He even more frightened and angry, and he knew in his heart that it was Ajige, a backbone coward who obeyed the Emperor of Ming and attacked him.
So he said intermittently with all his strength: "Ajige... Aisin... Jueluo's shame, you... how do you... go to see Xianhan..."
Hearing him say this, Ajige, who had a ferocious look on his face, was even more vicious, and he tried his best to make Jirgalang speechless.
After a while, Jirgalang lost his strength, his hands drooped, and he was dead.
Ajige was still afraid of fraud, so he continued to force it for a while to ensure that Jirgalang was dead. He let go of his hand. He looked at Jirgalang's eyes that were dying with his eyes closed, and immediately turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen, "The villain is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The villain has already killed him..."
Even ghosts would not believe his words. Will he be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, as a slave chief?
When the Ming generals around him heard his words, they all sneered. Do they really think that others are three-year-old children? They aren’t they afraid of death!
Emperor Chongzhen stared at him for a while, and suddenly spoke, "Okay, since that's the case, I will let you go back to Liaodong and kill Huang Taiji for me!"
After saying that, he turned to Wu Zhong and ordered: "Give him a quick horse and let him go!"
Emperor Chongzhen's decision made people stunned. If he was letting him go back, he would kill Huang Taiji. This was simply impossible, right?
However, Ajige was surprised when he heard this, and was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would regret it, so he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.
His speed was really fast. As soon as the horse got it, it immediately rode away and disappeared to the east of Guihua City.
Seeing all this, the generals of the Ming army came to their senses. The emperor was wise and powerful, so he would not believe that he would kill Huang Taiji when he went back. It must have another intention!
