Chapter six hundred and eighty second massacre
Dengzhou Prefecture City is less than 20 miles away from Penglai City. Before the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou Prefecture City was always located in Mouping. Later, it was moved to Penglai Town and was upgraded to a prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. The reason was that the geographical location here was important. As an important road to Goryeo and Japan, a prefecture city must be established to be guarded.
Dengzhou Prefecture was once very prosperous, but after the Kong Youde rebellion in the fifth year of Chongzhen, it declined rapidly. Seven years have passed and it still has not been restored. That massacre hurts the vitality of Dengzhou Prefecture.
Dorgon personally led the soldiers, rode war horses and galloped on the road.
Twenty miles away, riding a war horse, and in just ten minutes, we arrived at Dengzhou Prefecture City.
The Baihu led the team played a huge role at this time. After dark, Dengzhou Prefecture City closed the city gate. If it was to attack forcibly, it would still take some time and casualties.
The hundred households walked in the front and came outside the city. After he came to the capital, he shouted loudly, saying that the people from the governor's mansion had come and they were going to Dengzhou City to check. The soldiers on the wall knew the hundred households and hurriedly said that they were going to report. The hundred households almost roared and said that the elders from the governor's mansion had come and were still waiting outside. If they blamed them, no one could bear it.
Su Tiancheng's reputation, including the Jiangning Camp's reputation, had known the soldiers of Dengzhou Prefecture for a long time. When they saw many soldiers behind Baihu, they had a very neat lineup and did not dare to delay. They immediately went to open the city gate. There was nothing to doubt about. Since the master of the Supervisor's Mansion had come, how could they dare to offend it?
The city gate opened sadly.
Dorgon rushed in with his soldiers.
The skilled sergeant immediately divided some of the troops and easily killed the sergeants on the city tower, and began to control the remaining city gates along the city wall. As long as the city gate was controlled, everything was no problem.
Dorgon had sufficient confidence. He only divided a thousand soldiers to control four city gates. With these soldiers, there was enough, and the rest could make a big fuss in Dengzhou City.
All of this in front of him made Dorgon very satisfied. He could not have imagined such ease, without any casualties, so he entered Dengzhou City and took down Dengzhou Prefecture. After that, there were two choices. He went to Ye County under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Prefecture in the west, only 150 miles to Laizhou Prefecture, and more than 400 miles to the south. According to the speed of the Eight Banners Army, he could reach Laizhou Prefecture in more than a day. As for Ye County, it was even simpler.
Dorgon's idea was still step by step, and he first went to Ye County. After taking down Dengzhou Prefecture City, it was impossible to keep it confidential. The news of the Eight Banners Army's attack on Dengzhou would soon be spread. In this case, he could easily capture Ye County and accumulate wealth.
There was not much gold and silver that was found in Penglai City. It was only more than 200,000 taels. Dorgon was dissatisfied with it. He took down Dengzhou Prefecture City, and this time the harvest must be huge.
The people from Dengzhou Prefecture City fell into hell in an instant.
Dengzhou Guards were also set up in the prefecture city, with more than 2,000 soldiers stationed, and these more than 2,000 people became the target of attack. At the same time, the Eight Banners Army entered the prefect and captured all officials below the prefect.
The prefect of Dengzhou was still a little tough. Although he was caught off guard, he still maintained his dignity. When he was taken to Dorgon, he refused to kneel down. He was forced to kneel down by the soldiers and then kneeled down.
After learning about Dorgon's identity, the prefect looked pale and cursed. This angered Dorgon. He originally wanted to take the prefect back to serve the Qing Dynasty. Who knew that this was such a virtue? Dorgon was unwilling to say anything and signaled the soldiers to take the prefect to take it down.
The two thousand soldiers of Dengzhou Guard did not organize a decent resistance. In front of the Eight Banners Army, their combat effectiveness was vulnerable and they were quickly divided and surrounded. Whether they surrendered or not, they were all cut and killed. Some soldiers understood that surrender was death, and not surrender was also death. It was too late.
Screams and cries in the city were heard one after another, and some houses were lit, and fire was everywhere, and horse hooves were heard everywhere. This was the Eight Banners Army killing people in the city.
The people in the city instinctively closed the door, but unfortunately this had no effect. The door was kicked open quickly. The sergeant rushed in and saw the young woman, took it aside, saw the old man and the child, and immediately took a knife, which resulted in his life. When he saw the young man, he tied it up without resistance, and the one who resisted was killed on the spot.
In less than half an hour, Dengzhou Prefecture City became a hell on earth.
Dorgon was about to rest. He lived in the palace. Whose bed was the magistrate's bed, and the woman around him was the young and beautiful concubine.
Dorgon didn't care about the situation in Dengzhou Prefecture City. What he needs to think about now is that after dawn, he will lead the soldiers to take down the Yexian County.
According to the strength of the Eight Banners Army, he could actually go to Ye County overnight, but he could still see the fatigue of the soldiers. After all, during the day, the soldiers were still very tired on the warships and were a little tired.
After cleaning up Dengzhou Prefecture City, I took a good rest and took good care of myself. I went to attack Yexian County. At this time, the news was leaked, and it didn't matter.
Thinking of this, Dorgon clapped his hands and soon a soldier came in.
Dorgon signaled to get the women around him away.
In Dorgon's heart, Da Yu'er was his favorite, and the other women were not worth mentioning. Although there were indeed some beautiful Chinese women among Han women, it was nothing in front of Da Yu'er. Unfortunately, Da Yu'er was the emperor's concubine Zhuang and she had no chance to have a good relationship with Da Yu'er. Da Yu'er was the second daughter of Beilezang, a Korqin tribe in Mongolia. She was upright and virtuous. When Dorgon saw Da Yu'er for the first time, he was a little distracted.
There are many women around Dorgon, but these women are tools for him to vent his desires. They cannot occupy any position in his heart. Only Da Yuer occupies everything in his heart. Unfortunately, this can only be an imagination. The emperor's majesty cannot be violated, and the emperor's women cannot be touched. In addition, Dorgon is also clear about the ability of this emperor's brother, and he dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.
Perhaps it was the pain caused by this longing. Except for his own women, Dorgon gave the rest of the women, and he would never stay. Every time he slept with a woman, Da Yu'er appeared in his mind. Unfortunately, the woman under him was not Da Yu'er.
Dengzhou City has become a veritable blood city.
The Eight Banners Army did not show any mercy. According to Dorgon's request, they left only young women and young men. All the rest were killed. There were tens of thousands of people in the palace, which was enough for them to kill for a while. Except for the slaughter of Dengzhou Guards and encountered weak resistance, there was no resistance at all at the rest. This kind of killing was similar to killing sheep again, and the speed was much faster.
Two hours later, Dorgon, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened.
The screams outside were no longer heard. According to Dorgon's prediction, it should be almost the same. What came to report at this time was nothing more than how much money and food was plundered.
The officer who came in knelt on one knee and reported loudly with joy, saying that the gold and silver they found were equivalent to about 600,000 taels of food, and the food exceeded 30,000 stones, all of which were just collected. As for other things like cloth, they were still being cleaned up. More than 2,000 young and strong people were captured, and they were all very good laborers. As for how many women they had caught, the officer did not say that, and Doer didn't care.
Dorgon was very satisfied and immediately asked to dispatch some soldiers to transport all gold, silver and grain to Penglai City. The army left some as military rations, and the rest of the cloth, tea, salt and other items to Penglai City. They were all taken care of and were not allowed to be damaged.
Dorgon was extremely strict in his military administration. Under normal circumstances, soldiers did not dare to collect property privately. If they were discovered, they would be subject to a slightest attack or a serious beheading. His officers such as Niu Lu also strictly implemented this policy.
After giving everything, the officer reported that it was already July 21st.
Dorgon ordered the soldiers to rest in Dengzhou Prefecture City for a while. After dawn, Chen Shi set out and directly attacked the Yexian County under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Prefecture. He knew that although the two consecutive fights were killing pigs and sheep, the soldiers also had a very hard time and still needed to rest.
Dorgon understood even more that after attacking such a killing, his soldiers needed to vent and vent from women. He just caught so many women. After the sergeant vented, he would have a good rest. After dawn, he would definitely be in great spirits.
After dawn, the miserable situation in Dengzhou Prefecture finally reappeared.
There were corpses everywhere on the street, and the weather was hot. After a night, some corpses had swollen. Outside some houses, blood was flowing out of their lower bodies. They lay motionless on the ground, obviously they were ravaged to death. At this time, there were arrogant screams and laughter everywhere, and there were still faint screams and crying from women.
The secret line of the Jinyiwei finally found that something was wrong.
This is a military situation of 100,000 yuan, and it must be reported immediately. At this time, the secret line of the Jinyiwei understood that reporting to the governor of Shandong or other adults would not be of much use. The key is to report to the governor of Shandong and find a way to save Shandong. As for the troops of the garrison in Shandong, they are not the opponent of the Later Jin Tartars at all. Even if they are pulled out to fight, they will have a fate of directly killing them.
