A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 714 Seizure and Disposal
The army won a complete victory, Wang Dou ordered to set up camp here, and cleared up the seized, and continued to chase and kill the escaped Guluge and Hanggao's remnants. By noon the next day, all the seized had been counted and compiled.
According to the combing report of Zhenfu Chi Dacheng, the Jingbian army beheaded more than [-] people in this battle, and captured more than [-] tribesmen. Gu Luge was seriously injured and captured on the spot. Hang Gao intended to escape, but He was overtaken by the sharp whistle camp at night, and was finally caught by the arrow and fell off the horse. There were also a lot of Mongolians from the outer domain of the Khalkha tribe.
Most of the three tribes of Khalkha Tushetu Khan, Chechen Khan, and Zasak Tuhan are led by Tushetu Khan King Gonbu. The leaders of the rest, such as Tabu Nang and Guan Qi Zhangjing, led more than [-] soldiers and horses to fight.
However, after the Jingbian army went out of the fortress, they had already suffered a lot of losses, and when they rushed into the battle with Guluge, the rest of them collapsed.
Taiji, the assistant director of the Tuxietu Department, was arrested on the spot, and the rest of the department fled northward desperately. In the end, nearly a thousand soldiers were captured, and hundreds of soldiers from the Chechen Department and Zasak Department were also arrested, and they fled safely to the desert. There are very few in the north.
The Mongols in Hetao also ran away early, and the Qinghai Mongolians came to join them. The Taiji tribe brought more than 100 soldiers. The entire army was wiped out in this battle.
To Wang Dou's surprise, among the captives was Met Khan Ombu, who was originally a wasteland.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Yuetuo led the post-Jin soldiers to conquer Tumochuan in the west. Guluge, Tobok and others under the leadership of Ermubu recruited the people and surrendered to him. Erka, Ujumqin and other ministries contacted, intending to send troops to attack Houjin, so the Russian wood cloth was abolished, and was taken to Shengjing by Yuetuo. The land of Tumote entrusted Guluge, Tobok, Hang Gao and others Supervision, this is the abolition event in history.
And because Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor in the second year, founded the Qing Dynasty, and changed the name of the Jurchen tribe to Manchuria. Soon after Ermubu was released, Guluge was ordered to strictly control him and give him four somats, which was quite Manchurian. The population of Niulu is only in name, but in fact, Ombu is poor and poor, and in the end, only one family temple ruins are left behind.
When Guluge fled north, he took Omubu with him, and was captured together in this battle.
Apart from the population, it is the seized weapons and supplies, cattle, sheep and horses. Wang Dou dismisses these weapons, but he is very interested in cattle, sheep and horses.
According to rough statistics, more than [-] cattle and sheep were captured in this battle. There were also a large number of horsetails, sheepskins, leather jackets, salt, tea, and silk from the Central Plains on the tents and vehicles. People run so slowly, and there are too many luggage.
There are also a large number of mules, donkeys, camels, horses, etc., totaling more than [-] heads. Among those horses, many of them can be used as war horses. Earlier, when the Han Dynasty went to war and naturalized, they had captured more than [-] horses. These, in the Jingbian army, all the cavalry and feather cavalry of the Chinese battalion can be replaced by horses.
To Wang Dou's surprise, there were still a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the confiscated baggage vehicles. It was roughly estimated that the silver would not be less than 300 million taels, the gold was more than 10 taels, and there were nearly a thousand jewels and jade articles. Items, such as precious furs, silks, blankets, etc., are full of boxes.
All the generals of the Jingbian army were stunned, and Gao Shiyin murmured: "I really can't imagine that these bumpkins like Tumote are so rich?"
Wen Fangliang said: "It's just that their leader is rich and ordinary herdsmen, but they often die of cold and hunger."
Wang Dou nodded. Thinking about it, it is not surprising. Even if the low-level herdsmen of the tribes are poor, the leaders of the tribes, the Zasaks, have never lacked wealth. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Tumet tribe Hundreds of years of savings is no small matter, even if the wealth is tossed, after being divided up by Guluge and others, everyone will still be full of food.
Wang Dou recalled the historical materials seen in later generations. Tibet has always been poor in the world's impression, but the monks and nobles there are not poor. A famous farmer and nobleman there has been operating for generations, and his cellar has nearly [-] million silver. Two, it's jaw-dropping.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, merchants from Shanxi traded with various ministries of Mongolia in the south and north of the desert every year, and they made huge profits every year. Therefore, don’t underestimate the pockets of the ministries on the grasslands. Although they lack food, they do not lack silver.
What makes Wang Dou dumbfounded is that among the seized luggage, there are still some East Road silver dollars, which are placed in several large boxes, dazzling people's eyes, even the East Road food stamps, and many East Road merchants. People treasure it as one of the treasures at the bottom of the box.
The rich harvest made the soldiers rejoice, Wang Dou ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward the three armies, all the troops were even more joyful, especially Gao Shiyin and others responded enthusiastically to Wang Dou's decision.
During the several days of raiding, the Chinese Army, Qinglong Army, Suzaku Army and other soldiers only carried a small amount of food and grass. They chased lightly, leaving behind all their luggage. Even Wang Dou ate fried rice and fried noodles for several days, and his mouth faded away. Birds come.
When Han Chao and others went north, they also carried dry food for several days. Sun Sanjie's heavy camp could not keep up with the pace of the Second Route Army. There are not many people who are so lucky, and this is also the danger of fighting outside the Great Wall.
Wang Dou ordered to go down, and the camp slaughtered cattle and sheep, and it was full of joy. The Mongolian soldiers in the newly attached camp were all singing and dancing, and they were still holding a bonfire party until night.
In the afternoon, all the chasing soldiers had returned, and they brought back some heads, captives, etc., but there were not many, and the battle outside the Great Wall had come to an end.
The painting officer in the army has racked his brains on how to write the victory report, as well as the interviews with several military newspapers and Xuanzhen Times accompanying the army. some.
Thinking that I had the honor to participate in witnessing this battle, although I am not as famous as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but when I casually mentioned a few words when chatting with others, the admiring eyes of outsiders are enough to make many people tremble with excitement.
……
In the early morning of September 15th in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, in the cold wind, tens of thousands of Jingbian troops lined up neatly, densely covered with gun forests and gun forests, and countless sun and moon flags rolled in the wind. After the construction, at both ends of the high platform, dense guard battalion soldiers stood upright.
Wang Dou and Wang Puduan sat on top, each sitting on a large tiger-skin chair that had been captured.
On both sides of the two people, the generals of the Jingbian Army, the chief general of the guard battalion, Zhong Tiaoyang, the officer of the Chinese army, Chi Dacheng, the general governor, Xie Youcheng, the comfort officer of the Chinese army, Qin Yi, the general of the Chinese cavalry battalion, Li Guangheng, the chief general of the cavalry battalion, and the sharp whistle battalion. Chief General Xie Yike, Azure Dragon Army Chief Wen Fangliang, and Suzaku Army Chief Gao Shiyin.
Shen Shiqi, the leader of the loyal battalion, Zeng Yiyi, the leader of the newly attached battalion, and Wang Zhengren, Wang Pu's relative, also stood awe-inspiring. Everyone arranged their armor in good order, and their cloaks and cloaks fluttered in the wind.
Behind Zeng Yiyi, there was a middle-aged Mongolian man with a tiger beard and a red face standing, but he was Lemege Qianzong from the new attached camp.
I heard that the general personally called him to live on the high platform, and there were so many generals in the stands, but he was lucky to live together. Lemeg was full of glory, but also fearful and uneasy. He didn't understand why he was so lucky.
Like Lemeg, although he was young, he was as old as a little old man. Original Tumet Khan Ombu also stood on the stage anxiously. Although Wang Dou gave him a big tiger-skin chair, he But he didn't dare to sit still, for what he experienced at this time, he still felt as if he was in a dream.
Beside Ermubu, there stood some lamas who were also restless. They looked at the awe-inspiring formation of the Jingbian army, and they were all trembling and terrified. , It is like a boundless sea, which makes people feel suffocated and frightened!
Just not to mention these soldiers, some soldiers from the Datong Normal Battalion, Jingbian Army's New Affiliated Battalion, and Zhongyi Battalion who were lined up next to them already made them feel that they were very elite. Not wronged.
For Wang Dou, considering that Ombu and these captive lamas would be of great use in stabilizing Monan and dealing with Mobei in the future, he kept them and comforted them with gentle words. In addition to uneasiness, there is also some excitement and apprehension.
The bleak north wind blows over his face, looking far away, the land is vast, and the mountains seem close and far away. The land outside the Great Wall always gives people a feeling of solitude, emptiness, desolation and loneliness. Wang Dou exhaled slowly, and he Looking at the tigers under the stage, he shouted in a deep voice: "Bring it up."
Wang Pu jumped up suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and shouted angrily: "Bring it up!"
"Bring it up!"
All the generals on the stage were drinking in a low voice, or were all full of anger, especially Gao Shiyin, Xie Yike, Shen Shiqi, and Zeng Yiyi all shouted with halberd fingers, glaring and frowning. Like Park, he stared to the max.
"Bring it up!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience drank together, which shocked Emubu and others even more.
Soon, there was a commotion, interspersed with cries and struggles. From the prison camp of the captured Tumet, the arrested Hang Gao, the wounded Guluge who was still alive, and nearly a thousand people Old soldiers, leaders, and captured Khalkha tribal chiefs, soldiers, etc., were dragged and escorted here.
The main force of the escort was the Mongolian soldiers from the newly attached battalion, as well as some soldiers from the Zhongyi Battalion and Wang Puzheng Battalion.
The treatment for them is that there are evil leaders, officers and soldiers, and those who have invaded the Central Plains and massacred Han people over the years will not be spared. Therefore, Wang Dou asked them to expose their previous crimes to each other and screen them.
Those who committed lesser crimes would not die, but capital punishment could be avoided, and living crimes were inevitable. They were all relegated to slavery. After all, even women and children in the grassland enjoyed the fruits of their own men's plunder, and gave birth to children, and gave birth to generations of warriors. Well, these soldiers are also the source of soldiers who invaded the Central Plains, so if they are guilty, they are all guilty.
In the future, they need to accumulate a certain amount of meritorious service or redemption money in exchange for freedom for themselves and their families, just like the Ulunzhurige family back then. However, they have a quick way, which is to let the young and strong of the tribe join the army. Just like the new attached camp Mengqi.
After these people were escorted up, Wang Dou kept his composure, and first separated the captives of the three tribes of Khalkha from the captives of the Tumed tribe, and then looked at Guluge who could only pant, and Hang Gao who was dejected, Asked: "Gu Luge, Hang Gao, can you two be convicted?"
Gu Luge raised his head vigorously, it was the first time he saw Wang Dou's appearance, and when he looked again, he saw the waste sweat Ombu on the stage, watching him staring at him with deep-seated hatred in his eyes, and An expression of incomparable resentment.
He gurgled, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Hang Gao gritted his teeth, raised his head suddenly and shouted: "It's all about success and defeat. If you want to kill, you can kill. Why say more?"
"presumptuous!"
Not long after sitting down, Wang Pu jumped up again. All the generals on the stage were cursing. Hang Gao had disheveled hair and a stern look. He just sneered, not to be outdone, and cursed back the same way. Chinese, and Manchu.
Wang Dou sneered: "Occupying my land and killing my Han people is an unforgivable crime. Whether you beg for mercy or admit your guilt, there is only one end."
He suddenly said, "Lemege."
Shocked at Lemege who was scolding like Hang Gao, he quickly said: "The servant is here."
Wang Doudao: "How were these sinners usually dealt with on the grasslands in the past?"
Lemege tried his best to make his blunt Chinese clearer, and he said: "Back to the general, people with relatively high status are generally punished by horses, that is, they are trampled to death by horses. Soldiers who have committed serious crimes , almost as well.”
Wang Dou said: "Very well, do as the customs do when you enter the country, we will handle it accordingly!"
Hang Gao's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and he suddenly remembered that when he ordered the killing of Han people inside and outside Guihua City, a Han people said to him with great resentment: "If you kill me today, you will not end well in the future !"
At that time, I didn't think much of it. Could it be that the retribution is coming so fast now?
Guluge also struggled with all his strength, and a large number of Tumed felons cried and screamed desperately, but without any explanation, a large number of Mongolians from the new attached camp rushed up, and took the first sack to cover their screams. The sound became indistinct, and then the mouth of the sack was tied tightly.
Seeing all this, the captives of the three tribes of Khalkha next to them were all trembling with fright. They didn't know what fate was waiting for them. They regretted it very much. He also found a chance to escape.
咴……
Hundreds of Mongolian soldiers from the new attached battalion lined up. The horses under their crotches were already snorting excitedly. Galed and Tabu Nang rode on the horses with blushing faces. They were so excited that they could finally trample the old days to death. The leader of the tribe who seems unattainable, even though he is not from his own tribe, still has a high pleasure.
Moreover, according to what Lemege, the head of the Ministry, revealed to them, even the ten people in the battalion with them will soon be commended by the general, rewarded with money and meritorious deeds, and their own status in the ministry can also rise a bit. Climb, get promoted and get rich, meritorious service and glory, how can you not like it?
They have fallen in love with their current life deeply, chasing blood, chasing heads, rewarding for meritorious deeds and punishing for demerit, this is the army of their dreams.
Chi Dacheng, the governor on the stage, was thinking: "According to the emperor's law, the punishment for the war criminals Hang Gao and Guluge is as follows..."
He paused when he said war criminals, apparently curious and puzzled by Wang Dou's use of the word "war criminals". When Gao Shiyin and others on the stage stared straight, he finally finished reading and shouted: "Execute!"
Galed and Tabu Nang let their horses gallop, hundreds of horses hooved like thunder, and amidst the neighing of the horses, they rushed forward one by one sacks, among them, it is no longer known which one is Guluge, Which is Hang Gao...
