In the square behind Desheng Gate, the smell of blood covered everything, and flies were flying "buzzingly". However, under the hovering flies, there were no corpses or heads, only dozens of pigtails.
Yes, that's right, those big cars were all filled with pigtails, pigtails stained with blood, and pigtails that had their roots cut off.
"Bring water!"
At Guan Ningjun's shout, more than a hundred Manchu women carrying red flags came to the square carrying large and small buckets filled with water. Then they numbly picked up the braids from the ground, quickly put them into the bucket, and put the braids in them.
Wash away the blood stains, and then send the washed braids to the bottom of the city gate.
They have done this procedure over and over again. If when the first car of braids came over, they felt sadness, anger, fear, and pain, but now, they no longer feel it. The stories behind those braids have been told to them.
Deliberately forgotten.
No woman wants to think about it, because it will make them uncomfortable and make it difficult for them to control themselves. Whenever tears appear in their eyes or their bodies suddenly freeze, they will always be scolded and scolded by the Guan Ning soldiers.
whipped.
Manchuria, the aristocratic era, the superiority that once existed has ceased to exist overnight, and the women who survived are not even qualified to be treated as "human beings". No matter what prince's fortune these women were before,
Gege or the young ladies from any important ministerial family are all bitches now. They must face up to everything that happened, otherwise they will only ask for trouble.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
In the distance, hundreds of cavalrymen rode toward the city gate. After arriving at the city gate, the cavalrymen dismounted and stood in formation. The Manchu women could clearly see that these soldiers were covered in blood, and their eyes touched those soldiers.
When the soldiers looked in their eyes, they immediately felt a chill, and their instinct drove them to turn around quickly, not to go, not to dare to go.
The city gate guards who had already received the order hurriedly picked up dozens of braids and handed them to the cavalry.
"Change braids!"
Hundreds of cavalrymen shouted loudly, and the cavalrymen immediately wrapped their braids behind their heads. The long braids hung on the back of their heads like a dead snake, and drops of water dropped to the ground from the tail of the braids.
"Bring me the clothes!"
Baihu shouted again, and soon hundreds of green battalion soldiers' uniforms were carried over.
"Hurry up and change them all!"
The first hundred households took off their Guan Ning military uniforms. They stood there naked and ignored the Manchu women who changed their clothes. The cavalry followed suit, and hundreds of naked men took off their clothes and changed collectively.
The scene is quite rare.
After changing their clothes, a green battalion cavalry team of several hundred people appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
Hundreds of households walked toward the city gate and asked, "Have the officials come yet?"
At that moment, more than fifty officials came towards him. First, an official from the Ministry of Personnel nodded and bowed and said to the hundred households: "To tell you what to say, my subordinates are from the Ministry of Personnel. These are the officials you are escorting to various places on this trip."
Officials from all counties in the prefecture.”
"Is that you?"
Baihu glanced at the more than fifty officials and saw that most of them were young, around thirty. He nodded, waved to summon a soldier, and ordered him to spare dozens of horses for these officials, and then let him go.
The soldiers on duty at the city gate opened the city gate and rushed towards the outer city with these officials.
On the fifth day of September in the first year of Xuantong, under the escort of Guan Ning's army disguised as the Green Battalion and the Forward and Guard Battalions, more than 240 officials went to Gyeonggi and Zhili prefectures and counties in four batches with official appointments.

Although they are all towns, the number of troops under their jurisdiction, and the settings of towns, associations, camps, and floods are all different. But in general
, have a common feature, which is the system of large and small, and dispersed garrisoning. The so-called system of large and small means to control the small with the big, and divide the large with the small, so as not to concentrate military power in the hands of individual generals; the so-called dispersed garrison refers to the green camp.
The commanders were scattered all over the country, guarding various mountain passes, cities and towns. On the one hand, they facilitated the suppression of local areas, and on the other hand, they prevented Han soldiers from gathering for garrison, which would cause trouble. The flag soldiers gathered to garrison, monitor, and guard against Han soldiers.
The green camp garrison situation reported by the Ministry of War shows that the green camp in the pass is divided into eleven regions: Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Huguang, Shaanxi-Gansu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan-Guizhou.

Zhao Qiang didn't think he could pretend that Emperor Xuantong had taken over all the territory in the pass at one go. The time he could use was only more than a month at most, so the top priority was to capture the prefectures and counties and green camp troops in Zhili, and then
