There are about 50,000 soldiers and horses in the royal city. Even if some were killed or wounded in the artillery fire, there are still more than 40,000 left.
Even with artillery fire opening the way, this was still a bloody battle.
After all, when they broke into our square formation, the cannons could no longer be used, and we had to fight at close range. The eyes of those who were killed directly were red, and their bodies were covered in blood.
The battle lasted all day and night.
When it finally stopped, all the people in the world couldn't hold it anymore and sat down on the ground.
Looking at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in front of them, as well as the sporadic unfinished battles in the distance and near... everyone's minds were a little confused and they couldn't come back to their senses.
Qi Yaoling also killed with weak hands and feet. Looking at the two Daqing troops next to him, they were still besieging a Tatar. He swung his sword casually, but he had no strength at all. When the sword touched the man's face, it didn't even scratch the skin.
.
A man in the world not far away suddenly burst out laughing, and then laughter echoed from everywhere. He was obviously weak, but full of heroism.
Headmaster Lu's sword was broken, and he came over with a stone in both hands, and hit the Tatar on the head, so hard that he lay on the ground.
Headmaster Lu couldn't hold on any longer and sat down in a pool of blood, splattering the blood of the people next to him.
At this time, Tang Shijin was restlessly waiting for news in the palace.
Qi Yaoling wrote to borrow Haidongqing. They were going to attack the royal city. She was extremely jealous of Nurhaci and worried so much that she tossed and turned all night without sleeping well. When she woke up in the morning, she started pacing back and forth again.
Wait for the news to come.
As a result, he didn't come all day, and after waiting all night, he still didn't come.
She was almost dying of anxiety.
At this time, the imperial kiln sent the large lacquer beads that had been modified for the third time. Tang Shijin thought it would be good to separate them, so he asked them to come in.
The beads this time are really well made, and as she said, they are made in many colors. I have several string samples of Shibazi bracelets, which are about 15 or 16 mm. They are so beautiful in your hand.
Awesome.
Tang Shijin called someone over and put a tassel on it. When Yan Baiwei came back, she tied it on his lapel.
Yan Baiwei opened his hands for her to tie, and said with a smile: "Isn't this bead good? The spin is very beautiful."
Before he finished his sentence, Yan San had already rushed in and said: "Master! Master! Great victory in founding the state!! The Tartar King's city was destroyed and the Tatars were destroyed! The leader of the thieves, Nurhaci, was killed by Master Qi!!"
Tang Shijin was overjoyed: "Really! Where's Ling'er?!"
"Master Qi, everything is fine, everything is fine," Yan San said, "A messenger has also been sent here. He said he came back by Haidongqing and should arrive soon."
Tang Shijin and Yan Baiwei huddled together and glanced at each other as if they were flying.
We haven't finished reviewing the battle situation yet, but what is certain is that Nurhachi is really dead, the Tatars are really destroyed, he and Lu Zhiyao are fine, and Qi Jiguang and Mu Yunchang are also safe.
Tang Shijin became nervous when he saw it, and snatched it from Yan Baiwei's hand. He saw that Yan Baiwei had already scanned it with his spiritual eyes, and he didn't try to grab it from her.
While laughing, he said: "I just said that the beads are beautifully made, and I got the news of the great victory. Get paper and pen."
So His Majesty the Emperor nominated this bead as: "Triumph Bead".
Tang Shijin pressed his chest, still in disbelief: "Nurhaci is really dead? So easy?"
Yan Baiwei smiled and said: "Don't think too much, many things are not static."
Yes, many things can be changed.
But there seems to be some certainty somewhere.
For example, in history, when Nurhachi was attacking a city, he would first use large muskets and cannons to attack the city wall from a hundred steps away, and then use siege equipment such as ladders to attack the city. In field battles, he would also use
Large and small firearms serve as pioneers.
The Daqing military used the same tactics.
But no matter what, Daqing destroyed the Tatars, and there is no need to worry about the Qing Dynasty anymore!!
Tang Shijin came back to his senses and grabbed Yan Baiwei with all his strength: "My Ling'er is great too!! He killed Nurhaci, ahhh! So awesome!! You have to reward him heavily! He changed history!!"
Yan Baiwei smiled and said: "It's awesome, reward him, reward him!!"
And today happens to be the time for officials to take a nap.
Because Tang Shijin said that the Tatars would be destroyed in March and April, all the married women believed it. Sometimes when the men in the family talked about the Tatar war, they were very worried. They always retorted easily, "Why are you so anxious, Prince Qing?"
As I said, it will be destroyed in March and April!"
These people were so angry that they didn't know what to say. When they were angry, they cursed: "The hair is long, the knowledge is short! Do you know how big the desert is? In March and April, it will be enough for them to go and destroy the Tatars? It doesn't take time to fight a war."
of?"
"But this is what Prince Qing said!"
"Oh, it's already the first day of April, and it's still March and April. Prince Qing will be embarrassed if he boasts so wildly this time!!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and through the many doors, someone could still hear someone shouting loudly: "The great victory of establishing a state! The Tatars have been destroyed! The great victory of establishing a state! The Tatars have been destroyed!!"
man:"……"
He murmured: "Did I hear wrongly?"
The woman was triumphant: "You heard it right! The great victory of Jianzhou! The Tatars have been destroyed! I said that Prince Qing could not be wrong!!"
Similar scenes were played out in different homes.
That night, the officials all received rewards from the palace. It is said that they were made and sent to the palace just when the news came, so the emperor named it the "Triumph Bead."
When going to court, I saw the emperor hanging a string of triumphal beads on his right lapel, so the officials followed suit one after another. The Ministry of Rites wrote a letter to add court beads to the official uniforms of Daqing, and choose different colors of triumphal beads according to grade.
So the Daqing Dynasty had court beads from then on.
Since the Triumph Beads have such a connotation and are the material used to make court beads, there is no need to worry about selling them.
In this battle, dozens of Jianghu people died, but precisely because of their outstanding combat effectiveness, the Daqing army's casualties were greatly reduced.
After the war, Qi Jiguang wrote a letter to build a barrier here, station troops, and completely incorporate this area into the territory of Daqing, so as to ensure eternal peace at the border.
But such post-war work is no longer the business of the Chivalry Alliance.
When the imperial edict came, the list of awards alone took more than an hour to read. Many people were on the list without even expecting it.
Qi Yaoling was awarded the title of General of Zhenguo, Qi Jiguang was granted the title of Zhenbei Bo, and the others were promoted according to military merit.
In addition to gold and silver rewards, it was also true that as Tang Shijin had planned before, people in the Chivalry League were rewarded with the status of Wu Xiucai, Wu Juren, and Wu Jinshi according to their merits.
Leaders like Master Fakong and Master Lu were rewarded with titles.
And He Yanmo and Lu Fenglou both had the status of martial arts scholars. The imperial court set the date of the martial arts examination in June. From then on, every three years, everyone could directly enter the imperial palace to take the examination.
The marches and battles in the past few months have indeed had a great impact on people. Some people really wanted to stay in the army. Qi Yaoling asked Qi Jiguang on his behalf and they all stayed. There were also some people who wanted to go to sea to kill the Japanese pirates, but
More people still want to go to Beijing to participate in martial arts competitions.
The farewell was imminent, and everyone's old grudges were cleared. Tang Shijin specially asked someone to bring wine. Everyone sat on the floor and drank a lot before heading to the capital the next day.
These people traveled very quickly, and it took them less than two months to reach the capital.
He Yanmo asked him: "You really don't want to go to sea with me?"
Qi Yaoling asked him back: "You really don't want to go to the police station with me? I think you are quite suitable?"
He asked other people: "Really don't want to take the martial arts exam? It's next month. It won't be too late to go to the beach after the exam."
