The first person to receive the order to seal the sword was the Shandong soldiers. In order to "avoid disaster", the Shandong soldiers pretended to be ill and handed over the command, so the Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs had direct command over the Shandong Green Camp.
However, the sealing order was still a step late. At least three thousand innocent people were killed by Shandong Green Camp, and more than a thousand women were harmed.
Facing the Eight Banners soldiers who came to stop him, Lieutenant General Ye Qing was puzzled: "The order to massacre the city was issued by the prince. We were ordered to kill people. Why did the Prime Minister not allow it?"
Yingji Tu raised his sword and shouted: "The Emperor has given the Prime Minister the sword of Bilong. Master Ye must try to see if this sword is sharp!"
Of course, Ye Qing did not dare to test the speed of this sword, which was more powerful than the king's flag. Unhappily, he ordered all ministries to stop killing people.
The Tianjin soldiers did not participate in the massacre of the city from the beginning, because Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, strictly ordered the Tianjin Green Camp to guard the west gate and not enter the city.
Xu Futai knew that although the massacre was ordered by the emperor's son-in-law, Prince Chaoyong, if more than 100,000 people in the old and old cities of Linqing were to be massacred, the imperial court would be furious. Then the censor would impeach Lawang, and Lawang would be protected by his father-in-law, the emperor.
Nothing will happen, but a few people below will definitely be found as scapegoats.
It's better to be wise and protect yourself.
The Hedao soldiers were in chaos. When deputy general Wang Zhen received the sealing order, the Hedao soldiers had already slaughtered a third of Nancheng. How could the red-eyed soldiers stop immediately with a sealing order?
Deb, the commander of Chang Wei's army who was ordered to stop the various ministries, was furious and directly ordered a group of river soldiers to be surrounded and shot to death.
Wang Zhen, the deputy general of Hedao who came after hearing the news, was also furious and insisted on Deb giving him an explanation as to why the soldiers fought desperately to attack the city, but ended up not dying at the hands of the religious bandits but died under the pressure of friendly forces.
Deb was unafraid and directly ordered Chang Wei's troops to point their guns at Wang Zhen and others.
Although Wang Zhen was angry, he was not stupid. He led his troops to leave Nancheng and garrisoned under the south gate.
"Seal the knife and don't kill anyone!"
In the city, dozens of horsemen galloped back and forth, spreading the military orders of the Prime Minister to every corner of the city. There were also Chang Wei Army, Eight Banners Central Army, and Zhili Green Battalion soldiers who were ordered to guard the key points of the streets to prevent people from entering or exiting. At the same time, other departments were also strictly prohibited.
The Qing army invaded without permission.
After about half an hour, the screams in the city were no longer heard, and only the cries of relatives being killed were heard.
Jia Liu personally rescued more than two hundred poor women who were about to be taken outside the city. The oldest ones were fifty or sixty years old and the youngest ones were only eleven or twelve years old.
Judging from the miserable and sad looks of these women, most of their husbands and sons were killed.
"Can your lord tolerate this matter?"
Jia Liu looked at the Governor of Zhili, Yang Jingsu, who was standing next to him, hoping that the former Governor of Zhili could impeach Prince Lawang of Chaoyong for issuing an order to massacre the city without permission, disregarding human life and treating innocent people as ants.
"When things are done, just give them a certain amount of money and food supplies to help them live again, and bury the dead."
However, Lao Yang kindly reminded Brother Shikai that the matter had already gone out and it was time to deal with the aftermath. Lawang was the emperor's son-in-law and a prince, so it was best not to offend him.
The intention was to not report the truth in the memorial to the court, but to say that the people who were killed were traitors and rebelled against the people.
Even if someone can't stand it and wants to report the matter, let others do it. It's best for them to stay out of it, lest they cause trouble.
After all, Lawang's identity is there.
He also reminded Brother Shikai not to mention the massacre of the city after meeting Lawang, lest the young prince would hold a grudge in his heart, which would have an impact on Brother Shikai's future.
"If these people are from your hometown and your ancestral home, can you turn a blind eye and make big things trivial and trivial things nothing?"
Jia Liu looked gloomy.
The corpse-collecting carriages in front were piled with corpses.
Blood seeped down the gaps in the carriage, leaving a long trail of blood where the wheels touched it.
Yang Jingsu sighed.
What else could he do besides sigh.
Jia Liu slightly snorted: "The emperor has always said that the Manchus and Han people are one, but the lives of the Han people are so despicable in the eyes of the Manchus. What Lawang did today will make people and gods angry. If he were not the emperor's son-in-law, I would definitely chop off his head!"
Yang Jingsu was frightened by some of the taboo words made by Xiandi Shikai: "Xiandi, don't talk nonsense. If these words are spread, Nalawang can let you go and let it go!"
"He is a Manchurian, and I am also a Manchurian. He is a prince-in-law, and I am also a prince-in-law. Why should I be afraid of him?"
Although he said so, Jia Liu finally shook his head and sighed. Some things really weren't his final say.
"Why be quiet?"
"Who is giving the order to seal the sword!"
Three generations of Lawang's ancestors and grandsons fought in the army. He was called Huo Qubing of the Qing Dynasty by Khan Amma. In addition to being brave and good at fighting, he was also quite strategic.
He ordered the slaughter of the old city not to vent his anger, but for the good of the Linqing people in the new city.
In his view, the power of the massacre would definitely deter the religious bandits in Xincheng and defeat them without a fight. In this way, wouldn't tens of thousands of Han people in Xincheng be protected?
Without this sudden attack, the Xincheng religious bandits still stubbornly resist, which is not a good thing for both parties.
Soon, a soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jia Jia, Minister of Military Affairs of Shandong Province, issued an order to all ministries to seal their swords and not to kill anyone!"
Hearing this, Lawang couldn't help but get angry: "Isn't my king's military order inferior to that of a first- or third-rank officer?"
If the order is issued again, the sword cannot be sealed.
However, no one in the Qing army dared to respond. This was because the Prime Minister used the Conquer Bilong Sword to intimidate the generals and generals, and even used constant threats to the army. The Eight Banners Army maintained order in the city, which made the Qing troops who were determined to continue washing the city and make a fortune from it.
The army did not dare to act rashly.
"Is this Jia Jia Shikai deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
Lawang was furious, got on his horse and went to find Jia Jiashikai to argue. He walked somewhere in the city, and suddenly three thieves with their heads wrapped in white scarves appeared on the roof of a house on the right front.
Two thieves hold long spears, and one thieves holds a short spear.
Before Prince Chaoyong, who was on the horse, noticed, three gunshots were fired.
"There are thieves!"
Lawang's soldiers exclaimed and came forward to guard the prince. A dozen more people rushed in the direction where the gunshots came from. However, they saw three thieves jumping down from the roof. When they rushed over, they had already disappeared.
.
On the contrary, there is a troop of soldiers and horses running towards us in the distance. They are the Chang Wei Army under the direct control of the Prime Minister, Minister of Military Affairs of Shandong Province.
"who!"
Jamur, who had already taken off the white cloth, shouted loudly, and dozens of muskets were immediately pointed at Lawang's soldiers.
"One of our own!"
Gada, the captain of Lawang's personal soldiers, shouted hurriedly and stepped forward to ask Chang Wei's army if they had found any traitor soldiers. When he found out if they had found any rebels, he stamped his feet anxiously and hurriedly took people back to check the prince's injury.
When Zamul heard that the prince was attacked, his expression changed with fright, and he quickly followed him with his men.
At that time, I saw a group of soldiers carrying the prince and running over. When I saw the captain, someone cried: "The prince has been shot, find the doctor quickly!"
This cry made Gada feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar. He rushed forward and found the prince holding his crotch in pain.
The thief's marksmanship was very accurate. One shot hit the prince's left chest, one shot in the right abdomen, and the other shot hit the prince's thigh. The pain caused the prince's face to twist, blue veins popped out, and his forehead and face were covered with sweat.
, his teeth were chattering and he couldn't say anything.
Looking at Prince Chaoyong who was rushed for treatment by his own soldiers, a sinister smile flashed across Zamul's face.
He deliberately hit the prince in the crotch, and if he didn't die, he would be turned into a useless person.
The emperor's daughter's body must be reserved for him, Zamul, both above and below, and no one can touch it.
