Its daybreak!

But there is still billowing black smoke floating in the sky above Tianjin City.

The fire last night had been extinguished, but the city of Tianjin had also been turned into ruins.

Burn marks everywhere!
On the wide streets, or in the narrow alleys, there are corpses of various shapes.

There are soldiers who died in the battle of the Qing army and the Ming army, but more are the Tianjin people who died tragically under the butcher knife of the Qing army.

The Ming army temporarily recruited a group of civilian husbands in Tianjin City to sort out all the corpses.

Some of the corpses were taken back by their families for burial.

But more often the whole family died, and there was not even a body collector.

For such corpses, the Ming army carried out centralized disposal and unified burial.

Zeng Xueli walked on the streets of Tianjin City, looking at the dilapidated environment around him, he couldn't help sighing.

"Hey!"

"These gods kill the Qing captives, what kind of evil did they make!"

"..."

Wu Ming walked over with a livid face and reported a very bad news to Zeng Xueli.

"General, the situation in Tianjin has probably been sorted out!"

"Nearly [-] innocent people died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Qing army last night!"

7000 people doesn't sound like much!
But it just doesn't sound like much!

What you need to know is that the number of land troops mobilized by the Ming army in this battle is only about [-].

And the strength of the Qing army, including the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners, is only about 3000 people!

The combined strength of both sides is only [-]!

As a result, the Qing army killed [-] people in one night in Tianjin.

Shocking, really shocking!
Hearing this, Zeng Xueli asked with a dark face.

"How many beheads did our army have in this battle? How many were captured?"

Wu Ming took out a report, and then spoke.

"According to statistics, our army beheaded [-] people in this battle and captured more than [-] people."

"Among them, 310 soldiers of the Eight Banners were beheaded and 430 were captured!"

The reason why the number of prisoners of the Eight Banners soldiers is so small is that the Eight Banners soldiers basically have horses.

After they were defeated, they were able to flee for their lives on horseback, and they must have escaped faster than the green battalion soldiers!
Therefore, most of the prisoners of the Ming army in this battle were green battalion soldiers.

Zeng Xueli nodded slightly, and then gave instructions.

"Send the order to set up a court outside Tianjin!"

"All the prisoners of the Qing army captured in this battle will be killed in one piece!"

"Just outside Tianjin City!"

"This general wants to take the heads and blood of these Tartars as a memorial to the victims of the Tianjin people!"

Everyone came out and agreed, without exception.

The main reason is that what the Qing army did was really disgusting!

Killing them all is not an exaggeration!
Wu Ming on the side suggested.

"General, the last general suggested that our army can transfer all the people around Tianjin to the sea when the Qing army is newly defeated and there is no threat to us."

"One is to ensure that these people will not be slaughtered by the Qing army!"

"The second is to ensure that our Qing army can no longer drive the people to serve as human shields to attack our Ming Dynasty's defense line!"

Zeng Xueli nodded in agreement, and began to order the people below to do things.

……

In the 19th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month!
In Tianjin City, a execution ground rose from the ground!

Almost all the Qing army prisoners captured by the Ming army in the Battle of Tianjin a few days ago were taken outside the execution ground.

The clothes of these Qing soldiers were stripped off, revealing their bruised and purple skin that had been frozen in the cold wind.

Groups of ten were strung together with ropes.

In order to prevent these prisoners of war from rebelling, the Ming army had starved them for several days.

These prisoners of war now don't even have the strength to raise their hands, let alone resist.

Like marionettes, they only walk when they are lifted.

In the execution ground, the swordsmen of the Ming army were already sharpening their knives, and gusts of cold wind blew, making the faces of the Ming soldiers with knives ache.

But their eyes are quite determined!
The knife and ax in his hand also emitted a cold light.

A prisoner of war was brought into the execution ground, and then lined up.

After a soul chasing cannon, swords and axes were swung in unison, heads fell to the ground one by one, and blood sprayed.

Wisps of hot air steamed from the blood, which looked quite conspicuous!
The skulls of the people who were thrown out rolled to the side, and their wide eyes were full of unwillingness, regret, and deep resentment.

Groups of prisoners of war were taken to the execution ground and killed like pigs and sheep.

Before the execution, the prisoners of war showed their ugly appearance. Some knelt down and begged for mercy, some wailed and screamed, and struggled constantly.

But that doesn't change anything!
Those who massacre the city will be killed, this is the iron law set by Zhu Hongyu!
These prisoners of war have been starved for several days, even if a knife is thrown in front of them at this time, they are still powerless to resist.

The ground in the execution ground was stained red with blood, and even turned into blood mud.

The people of Tianjin, who were being tortured outside the execution ground, watched the heads of the Qing soldiers beheaded, and cheered excitedly.

"Kill! Kill all the Qing soldiers killed these days!"

"Good kill!"

"Long live Daming!"

"Join the army to fight against demons when you turn back, and let the world know that the old and young men in Tianjin are not cowards!"

"Yes, it's useless to talk about it. Don't try to persuade me. When I turn my head, I will join the army to fight against demons and avenge my sisters who were harmed by the dog tartars!"

"..."

Amid bursts of cheers, all the prisoners of the Qing army captured by the Ming army in this battle were all killed in one go.

Human heads with long braids were hung on the city walls of Tianjin!

Chen Tai's head was also chopped off and nailed to the most conspicuous place on the city wall of Tianjin!
After the defeat of the Qing army, Chen Tai's body was thrown in Tianjin City. Everyone was running away, and no one cared about such a body.

There are countless heads hanging on the city wall, looking hideous and terrifying.

Red blood, white brain tissue dripping down the city wall...

It looks scary!
After disposing of these prisoners of war, the Ming army began to retreat Shi Shiran.

The transport ships moored near Dagukou transferred the people near Tianjin and took them to small islands in the sea for temporary resettlement.

The main force of the Ming army returned to Dagukou again, and began to prepare for defense again to meet the next round of counterattack by the Qing court.

It's not that the Ming army didn't want to defend Tianjin, but it couldn't defend it at all!
This is Beizhili, the confidant of the Qing court, and the real place where heavy troops gather.

If the Qing court really fought with all their heart, it would be impossible for the three thousand Ming army to stand still!

If the defense is deployed in Tianjin City, and the Qing army surrounds Tianjin, isn't that the end of the calf?

Although there is no city to rely on for defense at Dagukou, there are naval guns that can provide fire support for the army.

Of course it's easier to defend!

Of course, the more important thing is that the Ming army deployed defenses at Dagukou, close to the sea, and could run away at any time if they couldn't fight, without worrying about being surrounded and wiped out by superior forces.

That's the point!
……

On the official road from Tianjin to Beijing!

The collapsed Qing army was everywhere, and they fled towards the capital without armor or armor.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the bad news of Tianjin's defeat was brought to the capital!
At least for Fei Yanggu, this is the case.

The prince he had placed high hopes on in the future, the son who would succeed him, and the banner owner, died in Tianjin.

For him, it would not be an exaggeration to say that such a blow was a thunderbolt from a clear sky!

Well, other people's families have a happy New Year's Eve!
His family's New Year's Eve hall dances...

Even, he couldn't even snatch his son's body back!
In the capital, panic rose like dross, and the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve gradually disappeared.

More and more people are starting to worry about the war in Tianjin!
……

There are only two changes today, and they will be returned tomorrow!
