Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 85 General, May Your Hands Be Filled With Sins

"Kill them."

"Quickly kill these beasts and avenge our dead relatives."

A group of ordinary people rushed up.

"Plop plop..."

Some people stepped forward to beat up these Dongcap cavalrymen, and many people knelt in front of Li Cunxiao and Qi Jiguang, asking to kill the dozen or so Dongcap people.

"You cannot kill captives, we have all surrendered."

Seeing so many people asking to kill them, the Dongyao cavalry became even more frightened, and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.

Seeing the Dongyao cavalry who kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, Qi Jiguang's eyes were full of disdain. He waved his hand and said to the people:
"Folks, get up, we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we are all one family, don't do this, get up quickly."

The girl who was humiliated by the rebels knelt down in front of Qi Jiguang:
"The general wants to make decisions for us. They not only killed my parents, but also kicked my grandfather to death. I was an orphan in a family that was supposed to be happy."

Qi Jiguang bent down to help the little girl up, sympathizing with her situation:

"Son, if you can't live alone, I will send you to the capital, and then someone will arrange your life. Get up quickly."

"Thank you General, Xiaowen can't repay you, so let Xiaowen be your servant and serve you for life, but these people still hope that you can kill them."

It turned out that the little girl's name was Xiaowen, and she was worried that Qi Jiguang would not let the prisoners be killed, so she said this.
Qi Jiguang patted Xiaowen on the head and said:

"According to the regulations, we soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to kill captives, but the Dongyao people are excluded. Let my hands, Qi Jiguang, be covered with crimes!"

Before Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and drew out the sword at his waist. As soon as he moved his footsteps, the sword light flashed again and again, and more than a dozen Dongyao cavalry were beheaded by him. "

Seeing that more than a dozen cavalrymen from the Eastern Captives were beheaded by Qi Jiguang himself, and their relatives' revenge was finally avenged, Xiaowen and all the villagers knelt down to thank:

"Thanks to the general for saving us from danger, and now you have revenge for us, long live Ming Dynasty!"

"Don't be polite, everyone. As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is our job to protect your safety. This general hopes that all of you younger generations will join the army and serve the country enthusiastically."

Qi Jiguang saw that there were many young people in the villagers, and he had the idea of ​​letting them join the army. Now Daming is short of such young people.

Encouraged by Qi Jiguang, most of the young men in the village expressed their willingness to join the army.

"General, we are willing to join the army to fight for our country and to protect our land and family. I hope the general will accept us."

Seeing that they were all willing to join the army, Qi Jiguang was very happy, but they couldn't go directly to the battlefield, they had to go through systematic training.

In previous wars, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but they had not undergone systematic training.

A lot of new recruits come to the battlefield, and the result is equivalent to giving the opponent a head.

Qi Jiguang called a training camp centurion:
"Don't go to the battlefield for now, choose some young people with good physical fitness, mainly responsible for their training, make them familiar with the use of guns as soon as possible, and leave some money for their families when they leave."

"Yes"

"Also, take Xiaowen with you, and hand her over to the princess when you return to Beijing."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that your subordinates will not let you down."

The centurion agreed, and went to select young people suitable for joining the army.

Qi Jiguang and Li Cunxiao led the Xuanjia iron cavalry and the Qi family army to advance towards Shanhaiguan.

When the army passed by a piece of stone, Qi Jiguang took out the binoculars, looked around, and then ordered the army to stop advancing.

The so-called piece of stone.

That is, the ground at the pass is paved with stones, and a dovetail tenon is cut between two stones, and then poured with molten iron, so that all the stones become one big stone.

But here is not a simple piece of rock, but a famous historical battleground where Wu Sangui joined forces with the Eastern Captives to defeat Li Zicheng.

It was this battle that caused Li Zicheng to return in a big defeat, surrendering the capital, and letting the land of Huaxia fall into the hands of foreigners once again.

Nowadays
There will still be a battle for a piece of stone, and Qi Jiguang has enough confidence to wipe out Prince Yu Duoduo.

It's a fool's dream to want to invade the pass with every little yellow flag inlaid.

Inside Shanhaiguan
Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, who was so famous that even the emperor dared not offend easily, was drinking with Prince Duoduo of Dongyu Yu with a mean smile on his face.

I don't know if it's because he's really mean, or because he's born with soft bones, and if he doesn't want to be a dignified person, he chooses to be a dog, or if it's when Daming is most in danger.

Suddenly a scout came to report:
"Report to the general, Doni Niulu led a Niulu out of the customs, and no one has returned. According to reliable information, Liu Zhuang once heard the sound of gunfire."

Wu Sangui stared:
"What a fuss, what danger can a Niulu cavalry in Xianghuangqi encounter? There is no one near Shanhaiguan who can threaten them. Check again and report."

"Yes"

The scout was blushed by Wu Sangui's training, and hurriedly lowered his head and exited the hall.

"Chirp..."

Duoduo, Prince of Dongyuyu, picked up the wine glass and drank it dry in one gulp. The wine glass made an empty sound. He raised his eyelids to look at Wu Sangui and said with a smile:

"Wu Zongbing is right. One of my eight banners, one Niulu, is enough to defeat an army of 3000 people from the Ming Dynasty. They will not be in danger."

Wu Sangui hurriedly stood up and filled Duoduo's wine glass:
"Yes, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners are invincible."

"Haha, it may not be invincible. Your Tianxiong army is very good. It can fight with my Eight Banners. The other armies are almost fleeing, and there is no need to fight at all."

Duoduo laughed wildly, it turned out that in their hearts, Lu Xiangsheng was the number one general of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui was not regarded by them at all.

Wu Sangui's face turned slightly red, but at this moment he didn't have any resistance, full of slavishness.

Doduo obviously saw that Wu Sangui was a little embarrassed, he smiled slightly, and added:
"Of course, Mr. Wu should be able to stop my Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers for two days by relying on the natural danger of Shanhaiguan. That's all. Your Guanning cavalry is no longer the same Guanning cavalry..."

"I... thank you, Prince Yu, for your praise..."

What can Wu Sangui say, the defeated general, no, the general who surrendered without a fight, even if he feels aggrieved, he can only bear it by himself.

From this we can see the arrogance of the Eastern captives. Of course, Dorgon's attitude towards Wu Sangui is better than that of Duoduo.

This Duoduo has always looked down on the Han people and the Han soldiers and generals. He even dared to snatch the wife of Fan Wencheng, a loyal minister of the Eastern Captivity, because Fan Wencheng was Han.

"Report to the general, my lord!"

"According to reliable information, a Niulu of the Eight Banners going to Liuzhuang was ambushed, and all of them were killed in battle, while the Ming army is marching towards Shanhaiguan."

Suddenly, the scouts reported again.

A piece of news shocked Wu Sangui and Duoduo.

Niu Lu, who was invincible in the Eastern Captives, was wiped out by the entire army in a sneak attack.
