The sudden heavy snowfall changed the Jinzhou Army's retreat plan. Under Shi Dayong's insistence, a brutal massacre quietly began.
The first person to be killed was Mang Gurtai, who was under house arrest in the artillery camp. He was dragged and quartered by the Ming army with five horses, and then his son Ebilun and others were killed one after another.
Before Ebilun and his aunt Mangguji could even take a look at Manggurtai, they were tricked into the doorway and beaten to death by He Rufeng, a member of the Zuoying Infantry Hundreds of Jinzhou Guards stationed at Fengtian Gate.
Bi Lun's forehead will be extremely painful before death, and he screams that even if he is a ghost, he will not let go of the shameless renegade Shi Dayong.
Mang Guji died simply. The Ming army shot her directly in the chest, blowing both of Princess Hada's breasts to pieces. She died without even letting out a scream.
After the death of Mang Gurtai and his son, the banner generals of the Han army who were loyal to the Jinzhou Army, with the cooperation of the Jinzhou cavalry, killed the Liaoyang banner soldiers in the inner city. Ezhen Baijia died from the sword, and all the Han people belonging to the Xianglan Banner surrendered to the Ming army. .
There were Liaoyang banner soldiers who wanted to surrender, but the Ming army refused, so they beheaded them and cut their ranks.
So far, there are no Eight Banners men in Shenyang City, let alone Aisin Gioro. Together with the Jin soldiers who died in the battle on the city, the Ming army killed a total of 12,006 Shenyang Eight Banners men (7,500 military achievements can be counted).
More than 20,000 Eight Banners women were imprisoned in the Khan's Palace. After the Jinzhou Army selected more than 3,000 of them, the rest were burned together with the Khan's Palace, which Hong Tai spent a lot of money to build.
More than 3,000 young and beautiful flag girls, together with more than 2,000 Han palace maids and eunuchs, withdrew to southern Liaoning along with the Ming army. The flag girls included Hong Tai's two concubines, Ye He and Yan Zha, as well as various small and large Beile Fujin, There are a number of side blessings. Dorgon Zhengfu's Borjijit family, Side Fuji's Borjijit, Duduo's Zhengfu Jin Ming An Taiji's daughter Dazhe and other daughters are all included.
Dayong arranged for the first batch of evacuation of these women and the gold and silver jewelry collected from the inner city. The person responsible for the evacuation task was Jiang Wanli. Along the way, they protected a thousand cavalrymen named Peng Sihai, Peng Dachui's nephew, and more than 600 large and small carriages. More than 8,000 personnel.
The second group of people leaving the city were the artillery battalion men and horses. They retreated with more than 300 carts of food, 200 carts of cloth, silk, ginseng, mink, etc., and 160 carts of armor. Weapons. The people responsible for the retreat were Shen Yi and Dong Zhong of Qianhu of the Artillery Battalion. The number of personnel retreating this time was 9,200.
The third batch coming out of the city was 200 carts filled with the heads of men from the Eight Banners. Inside the current few carts were the heads of men from the Aisin Gioro clan. These heads were cared for like treasures by the Ming army, far more valuable than those gold Silver treasures are more important. Except for the young Ding heads who do not count military merits, there are eight banners Cheng Ding heads of level 8600 and Han army heads of level 1500.
The Ming Dynasty counted merit by head. The wealth in Shenyang City was enough to make everyone in the Jinzhou Army rich, but military merit was more valued by the Jinzhou Army. Everyone, including Shi Dayong, wanted to be officially rewarded by the Ming Dynasty court. Therefore, in arranging the third When the group retreated, Dayong was the first to order all the heads of the enemy soldiers to be taken away.
In addition to the heads used to calculate military merits, there were also 3,500 war horses collected from various Baylor mansions that retreated together. The person responsible for the retreat was monk Geng Zhongming. The person responsible for the retreat was protected along the way by 2,400 soldiers from two thousand households in addition to the infantry left camp. In addition, there were 1,600 newly surrendered Han troops and 1,500 young auxiliary troops, totaling more than 6,000 personnel.
The three groups of troops will depart on the 20th, 21st, and 23rd respectively. Liaoyang has announced in advance that they will be ready to respond before the 30th.
Dayong ordered Cao Bianjiao to retreat immediately to avoid being trapped by the wind and snow, but Cao Bianjiao sent someone to tell him that he was stationed near Xipingbao and it was not snowing here, so there was no need to worry about the retreat of the heavy cavalry. Kuang Hong's army was approaching Yizhou. If the horse rushes forward, it will only take five days to approach Hunhe, so he must contain Hongtai at Xipingbao to prevent his forward from posing a threat to the retreating Ming army too early.
Dayong was worried that Cao Bianjiao did not have many cavalry. If Hong Taiqin led the elite cavalry to cross the main force and march towards Shenyang, Cao's troops might not be in danger. He wanted to let Cao Bianjiao retreat quickly. However, the wind and snow caused the messenger to lose his way and had to wait for the weather. We will make further calculations after it clears up.
Heavy snow fell continuously in Shenyang for three days. Except for the blizzard at the beginning, the subsequent snowfall was not heavy, but the wind was so strong that it made people's faces hurt.
In the past few days, in addition to trying their best to arrange a retreat, the Ming army also informed the Han people in the outer city through the Han officials of the former Hou Jin regime that anyone who wanted to follow the Ming army to withdraw to southern Liaoning could do so, but they needed to prepare their own carriages, horses, food, and protection from the cold. Clothing, the Ming army only provided protection along the way, and the Han people took care of the rest.
With such harsh conditions, naturally few people responded to the Ming army. At the end of the day, only more than 8,000 Han people were willing to follow the army to withdraw to southern Liaoning, and the rest did not move.
Seeing this, the Ming army made no other moves, nor did they force Han people to join the army, nor did they plunder Han people's property or women. This made the Han people in the outer city feel at ease. It seemed that Tianming Khan's army was coming back soon. , otherwise why would the Ming army retreat in such a hurry? Out of fear of the Eight Banners soldiers, many Han people who originally wanted to return to the Ming also had a wait-and-see mentality. They were worried that they would die if they followed the Ming army and were caught by the Eight Banners soldiers. , not to mention that the Ming army could not provide them with much help. Who in the ice and snow would be willing to travel thousands of miles and risk their lives?
After the general reported the movements of the Han people to Dayong, Dayong didn't say much. He just ordered the more than 8,000 Han people to leave the city immediately, and took out his latest invention--the snowmobile.
The design of the snow cart is very simple and the materials are simple. It has no use in other places, but it is a sharp weapon in the ice and snow. Dayong also thought of it after seeing that the carriage road out of the city was difficult to walk, and the loading capacity was not large. The man who made the snowmobile simply drew a blueprint and summoned the Han craftsmen in the city to build dozens of prototypes overnight. After taking them outside the city to test the results, he immediately demolished many parts of the inner city. The Yamen gathered tens of thousands of pieces of wood to build snow carts, and more than 5,000 snow carts were built. In addition to horse-drawn horses, these snow carts also used dogs. In order to transport as many people as possible After leaving, Dayong ordered all the livestock in Shenyang City to be used. In addition to dogs, many cattle were also found, which greatly increased the Ming army's transportation capacity.
According to Lin Junyi's statistics, the large-scale use of snow sheath vehicles can increase the Jinzhou Army's carrying capacity by a quarter. Don't underestimate this quarter. If converted into population, it would save 10,000 lives. If converted into cargo, In terms of food, it would be enough to sustain tens of thousands of troops for half a year.
Most of the spoils, food, gold and silver in the city have been transported away, and the rest cannot be occupied by many horse-drawn carriages and snowmobiles. Therefore, Lin Junyi, Guo Cheng and others once again asked Dayong if they could forcibly arrange for some Han people in the outer city to leave the city, so as not to They died in vain.
After thinking about it, Dayong agreed to the Ming army forcing 10,000 Han people to leave the city, but these 10,000 Han people must be women and children. The rest can leave if they want, and follow them if they don't want to leave.
After receiving Dayong's order, Lin Junyi and others immediately began to arrange for the Han people to leave the city. The Ming army broke down the doors of every house and ordered the women and children in the family to leave the city immediately. Under the threat of force from the Ming army, more than 4,000 children and more than 6,000 women were forced to leave the city. Some
The husbands and fathers of the women and children cried out and wanted to go with them, and they were agreed. In this way, plus the more than 8,000 people who arrived in advance, there were finally nearly 30,000 people willing to leave the city. But this number also tested the Jinzhou Army's transportation capabilities.
Dayong was quite unhappy when he found out, because a large number of carriages and horses had already evacuated to Liaoyang with the first three groups of people. Now, although the city's shipping capacity has been improved with the arrival of snow trucks, it can barely transport less than 20,000 people out of the city.
.The number I gave Lin Junyi and the others was 10,000 people, but they actually brought out nearly 20,000 people, which was a full 10,000 more people. How could this happen?
Dayong could not blame the generals for being soft-hearted. He was not suffering from it. They were all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. How could he have the heart to kill them? Therefore, he did not blame Lin Junyi and others for disobeying the order, but asked them to demolish the houses in the outer city immediately.
, try to build as many snowmobiles as possible.

It's not that Bones hasn't been updated in the past two days, but I've received a notice that I'm not allowed to write plots of massacre or violence anymore, and I have to pay attention to the policy, so I'm struggling with how to write it later. Some places still need to be changed, so I stopped for the past two days.
