Chapter 102: Kill Ten

Six whistle-riding cavalry who rushed back were soon hung into the city by the defenders on the city wall. The military newspaper in their hands immediately came to Xue Laoer's hands.

After Xue Laoer took over the military newspaper, he immediately presented Zhou Shixian: "The prince-in-law is Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Ma Shiying, and Liu Liangzuo's battle reports. Seeing that the whistle and cavalry on both sides are holding red flags, it should be a good news."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixian nodded calmly, not like what a person of his age should have shown. Then he opened the battle report and found that it was Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Ma Shiying, and Liu Liangzuo repelled the attacks of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming in Huai'an and Shouzhou respectively, and cut down nearly 300 Qing army heads.

"It's a pity that there is no Zhenyi head inside, otherwise Duoduo wouldn't be able to sit still."

Zhou Shixian sneered and said, "However, the combat effectiveness of these Han troops, who were born in Dongjiang veterans, is not inferior to the so-called Eight Banners of Manchuria. Being able to defeat them with seven or eight times the strength of the troops means that these four armies still have the ability to fight."

Kong Youde and Shang Kexi. Geng Zhongming was originally from Dongjiang Town, commanded by Mao Wenlong, and was also from Liao. He had a deep feud with the Qing Dynasty, especially Shang Kexi. If he had not joined the Qing Dynasty and became the Han army, their Shang family would have been considered loyal and martyrs.

Almost all of their soldiers were from Liao people, strong, and most of them had received special training in firearms from the Portuguese. Now they have a stable supply of military pay from the Qing Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of any Ming court border army, and they are particularly good at using firearms.

It can only be said that although there are treacherous slander like Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Li Jiucheng, they can force these people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, they are very capable. Chongzhen and the nobles in the court are also very capable.

"The prince-consort has paid such a lot of capital. If they can't fight, all of these leading generals will be cut down, and no one will be wronged." Xue Laoer said immediately.

"If only a few living Tartars could be caught and tied up to the entire army to parade, let the soldiers see that these Tartars are also human and there is nothing to be scary."

Zhang Huangyan, who was standing beside him, suddenly said: "When the time comes, whip these Tartars in front of the soldiers in the military camp, beat them to cry and cry, kneel down and beg for mercy, then cut off their heads and put them in the military camp, so that every soldier can see that the Tartars die and the death of our people. If they cannot survive, no one will be afraid of them."

After hearing this, Zhou Shixian was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Huangyan, a scholar, could think of these things. I don't know if the other party hated the Tartars too much, or if his gentle appearance was already cruel, he could come up with such a brilliant plan.

"What a plan!"

When Zhang Hong heard this, he became excited: "The prince-in-law, you will be chopping down the Tartars with your own hands at that time."

"However, I have to find a way to get a few Tartars first, and I have to catch them alive. But..." Xue Laoer looked at the Qing army camp opposite, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"With the combat power and reaction of the Qing army, we will send people to attack and catch the live ones, and I'm afraid we can only fall into the trap!"

"We don't have to go over, wait for the Tartars to come by themselves."

Zhou Shixian smiled slightly and said, "Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming both ate turtles, and Duoduo would never give up just like that. He can't afford to lose his face."

Upon hearing this, the generals looked across the river. For some reason, the dozen Qing military camps in the north were in a turmoil. Several cavalry of hundreds of people surged out from multiple camps at the same time, bringing rolling smoke and dust around the camp.

At noon the next day, Gao Jie, who had avenged his revenge, took the lead in returning to Fengyang City with his own personal guards, while the large army stayed behind and it would take another day to return to Fengyang.

Zhou Shixian did not show off his airs as a prince consort this time. As soon as Gao Jie entered Fengyang, he summoned the other party and inquired in detail about the battle.

The Ming and Qing armies confronted each other across the Huai River. It was already early April. The water of the Huai River became more and more abundant, and the width of the river began to rise from about one mile. Duoduo knew that he could not wait any longer, so he began to send people to collect boats on the north shore, cut down trees to build floating bridges, and sent sent posts to smuggle and cross the shore to reconnaissance.

At the same time, Duoduo indeed sent three Niulu Manchu cavalry to Shouzhou and Huai'an. However, facing the strict defense of Liu Zeqing and Ma Shiying, even if the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers came, they could not play any role. In order to prevent the Eight Banners soldiers from falling into the hands of the Ming army, further reducing their arrogance, Duoduo had already made a reminder - if they encounter persistence, they would retreat.

However, nothing happened in Huai'an and Shouzhou, but Duoduo unexpectedly happened in Fengyang. Five Bayalas and more than 30 Qing army whistle cavalry who had sent him to investigate the shore were ambushed by Zhang Hong personally led hundreds of cavalrymen, and even killed and injured more than 20 people. In the end, most of these Tartars were captured alive.

Then, in the Ming army camps in Fengyang and Linhuai, and even in the Ming army camps in Huoqiu, Shouzhou, Xuyi and Huai'an, Tartar prisoners sent by Zhou Shixian appeared.

These dozens of Tartar prisoners were tied up and placed on a carriage. They were then whipped by Ming soldiers, whipping and parading so that everyone in the army could see them. The Tartars looked like this bird, and there was nothing scary. They would scream and beg for mercy when they were beaten.

Of course, there is also the ugly rat tail of money, which is even more despised.

Even in some military camps, the battalion officials immediately decided to let every soldier come forward and whip them. These soldiers are used to being bullied by officers on weekdays and have some revenge on society. However, the military discipline is strict and they are afraid of being beheaded. At this time, if there is such a good opportunity, no one will let it go.

Not to mention how much they hated these Tartars. After all, Zhou Shixian’s propaganda was that the problems of the court were all because of the Tartars, and the sufferings suffered by everyone all originated from the Tartars.

However, when they were happy, the Tartars suffered. Some soldiers were not satisfied with the whip. Even if they were under the danger of being beaten with military sticks, they would still have to whip a few more. Thousands of whip fell down like this, and finally they blew the Tartars tied to the pillars of the carriage to a bloody and bloody way, and they would save even beheading their heads.

After this, everyone in the army had seen the Tartars, and some even whipped dozens of whips. Seeing the Tartars' heads rolling on the ground and the Tartars' bodies falling down, most of the fear in their hearts had disappeared.

"Damn it, I want to kill Tartars too, kill ten." Huang Fa looked at the head of the Tartars hanging on wooden stakes in the military camp, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked stern, and made up his mind secretly.
