Chapter 1697 world
The generals and Need Ding who were accompanying him were almost dead. Seeing that more and more enemies were surrounding him, each with a ferocious look, he became more and more afraid and regretted that he shouldn't have thought that he had a border, and at the same time he wanted to advance earlier to stay in Datong. He had done such a risky move. If he had known that there was today, he would not have stayed in Datong even if he had been beaten to death. He would rather be demoted than go to this muddy water.
But it's too late to regret now. Hong Chengchou thought repeatedly whether he should consider throwing a sword in front of the formation to surrender, but the remaining trace of pride as a civil servant stopped him. Moreover, Hong Chengchou had fantasies that he was the governor of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the other party should have the idea and plan to capture him alive. If he was forced to surrender, he would look much better in terms of face and would not have a bad reputation in the future.
Under this hesitation and hesitation, Hong Chengchou followed the flow and rode his horse eastward for hundreds of steps, but in the end he realized that he could no longer walk.
Except for those who died in battle, there were only more than ten soldiers around him. Everyone formed a small circle, with countless spears and muskets surrounding him, and countless enemies surrounded him. His vicious faces seemed to be close at hand, and even the smell of breathing was about to spit on Hong Chengchou's face.
"I didn't expect to set out to such a field today..." Hong Chengchou was still complaining about himself. At this time, dozens of muskets were raised together and aimed at him.
"No!" Hong Chengchou was both depressed and blurted out subconsciously: "I am a Jinshi, a governor of the Ming Dynasty..."
But it is too late to say anything now. The muskets fired one by one, knocking down more than a dozen people around Hong Chengchou like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. The projectiles hit Hong Chengchou's body, making blood holes, breaking all his ribs, legs, bones, and arms. After all, dozens of projectiles were placed in a short distance of less than twenty steps, and they could smash the thick wooden boards. The human body seemed quite fragile under such a blow, and flesh burst out. Hong Chengchou had not finished speaking.
The former pride of the emperor, the traitor of later generations, and the hero of the national integration of later generations were beaten to death, and fell to the ground with blood and body wearing a war horse. His body in a big red official robe was smashed to the ground. The official robe made of silk was dirty on the black and gray ground. This official robe with a virility was completely unable to change to a clean new official robe. His blood was leaking out, mixing with the blood of those inferior people he despised and looked down upon, and it was hard to tell each other.
"Okay, after the matter is over here, I will send a guard force to clean the battlefield... Well, all officers should pay attention to it and record some good seedlings. It is recommended to absorb it into the merchant army in the future. Of course, voluntariness is the principle."
After Sun Yao said that, a squadron commander pushed Han Laoliu out and said with a smile: "Old Liu just shot the governor off the horse with one gun. This is a good seedling."
Everyone laughed loudly. Han Laoliu was a little embarrassed and annoyed by the laughter. He twitched his head, blushed and said with a thick neck: "I am in my forties, I am physically following and have a strong courage in fighting. What can I not be a soldier? I have been a soldier for half a year."
Everyone was about to laugh again, Sun Yao waved his hand and said, "Old Liu, forget it. Our Hutchison Military Industry Department needs you. In the future, the two iron ore and a copper mine in the north will require a large number of technicians. I will use you here. Li Dongxue Cai Jiu and others come to me to work hard... Well, you killed the governor with one gun. Is this the serious crime of Ling Chi. Are you afraid?"
Everyone woke up and many people began to look around the battlefield.
Because the miners advanced quickly and fought fiercely, the Ming army was not seriously injured. By the time Hong Chengchou was surrounded and killed, the Ming army, the farthest outside, had already run two or three miles away.
When life is in conflict, these people are running fast.
Due to the lack of military orders to pursue, the miners only attacked those who were unhurried after reaching the close battlefield to complete tactical tasks, resulting in a group of Ming troops surrendering. Most of them were surrounded or half-encircled, so surrender was the wisest choice.
When Sun Yao came, the war had ended, and a small number of guard troops were sent to the official road between Yanghe, clearing out the enemies that reached Baoping Castle and Huamen Castle in the west, and taking turns to guard the police, which was enough.
At this time, the fort gate of Xinpingburg opened and everyone's eyes bet on.
Zhang Han, wearing gray military casual clothes, was of course the first person in the fort team. He was wearing a military robe and a dark horse, and rode out from the slowly opened fort gate.
"Long live!"
I don’t know who brought the head, but someone shouted.
More people followed, and everyone began to scream excitedly. The sound of long live sounded throughout the sky. I guess the escaped Ming army could still hear these extremely shocking shouts.
Zhang Han smiled and kept riding his horse forward. The miners in front of him made way for the passage. Everyone looked at the Lord of Hutchison with respect, his well-deserved backbone and his family.
The miners acted as saving Xinpingbao and Zhang Han as a rescuer. Only then could they burst out with such enthusiasm. They could not only quickly reach the battlefield, but also rush and beat him hard, like a strong man who could not fist, with his brute force, beat the elite Xuan Bing to stupidly.
You should know that Xuan Dabing's combat power is not weak. The more than 10,000 people on the battlefield are the elite among the elites. There are also two of the most outstanding civil servants in the Ming Dynasty commanding on the battlefield, but their battlefield experience and ability are still obviously insufficient. It may be because Lu Xiangsheng has not yet obtained the experience gained from fighting with the peasant army, and Hong Chengchou is the same.
If it were from the ninth to tenth year of Chongzhen, these two civil servants were commanding on the battlefield, their reactions and decisions on the spot might be much better, and they would not make mistakes that should not have been made. If they were given a powerful general like Cao Bianjiao, it would be quite possible to defeat the temporary army composed of miners.
But everything is just assumptions, assumptions cannot be repeated. Now Zhang Han is the winner, and he is enjoying the heartfelt love and cheers of his subordinates.
Now I can open my heart and shout long live. Zhang Han used to make people think that it might be the founding monarch and the founding of a new dynasty. Now almost everyone can be sure that Hutchison can definitely suppress the Ming Dynasty and win.
With the serious officials of the court, governors and military commanders, more than 10,000 elite troops could not defeat the temporary miners' army. If today were the war soldiers of the Hutchison Merchant Army and the two lancer regiments were fought, what would it be like?
Of course, it can only be a complete crushing, a massacre under the absolute advantage of unilateralism.
"Thank you all." Zhang Han ran around the battlefield and was finally surrounded by the crowd. There were only a small number of guards around him. In such a scene, the attendants knew that they didn't have to worry about anything. Zhang Han finally stopped, surrounded by the eager eyes of countless miners. He thought for a while and said loudly: "After today, my memory and I will have a world!"
"There should be a world!"
"Sir, you must have the world!"
Everyone was in a state of being wronged and bullied for more than a year. The Propaganda Department also deliberately fabricated some rumors, such as some small officials coming to make things difficult for the door, Zhang Han was forced to bribe these villains to ensure safety, and the story of heroes falling into trouble and tigers falling into the sun has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Many people related to Hutchison are all angry when they hear such rumors. What a humiliation that it actually falls on Lord Zhang?
Over the past ten years, from a small business to a huge business that monopolizes the northern cloth wire and porcelain business, to leading troops north, ten battles and ten tribes, winning a complete victory, and subduing all Mongolian tribes. What a success?
Such a great hero and a great hero actually ended up being bullied by a minor official. How unfair the court treats the heroes, how incompetent, weak and hypocritical!
By now, Zhang Hanyangwang has been completely cultivated. Everyone thinks that he has made great contributions and encountered injustice. Like many founding emperors in history, after setbacks, he is a time to achieve great success. He should strive to win the world.
At this moment, when Zhang Han said Hutchison when there was a world, people's excitement became boiling, which was completely understandable.
The sound of long live again. On the chaotic battlefield, people did not rush to clean the battlefield. Only the guards were gradually leaving. They were going to guard several miles or dozens of miles away. These people who were about to leave were also shouting long live, their faces full of excited smiles and regrets that they could not stay with Zhang Han.
"All of them are old acquaintances..." Zhang Han looked at the miners and could call out the names of several old people from time to time. The miners were moved to tears.
At this time, the battlefield was finally cleaned and it was over soon.
The weapons discarded by the Ming army were packed together, and no one counted them in detail. Spears, swords and swords were piled together, forming several large piles of weapons. A rough plan may include thousands of spears, guns, swords and some shields, no more than a hundred faces. The war horses captured more than 200, and everyone did not take them too seriously. Although the war horses on the grassland cannot be said to be as many as there are, a mere 200 horses are not enough for the use of two company dragoons, so of course they will not be taken too seriously.
There were more than 700 bodies of the Ming army and more than 1,300 injured. Because they were fighting outside the fort, Zhang Han ordered all the minor and serious injured people to be moved to the fort for treatment. There were ready-made places in the fort, which had been prepared long ago.
"Although these people came to attack me, they were ordered by the court, and they were not privately irresistible." Zhang Han looked at the injured miners and said with emotion: "These people are all from Xuanfu, Datong, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Shanxi towns. They are all considered fellow villagers. After the war is over, people should be saved, and they should be treated equally."
Everyone nodded. The miners were not professional soldiers. They were different from the soldiers. If the soldiers cleaned the battlefield just now, the seriously injured Ming army would have been executed directly, and those who were slightly injured might not be able to protect their lives. Soldiers must be bloody and kill their living opponents on the battlefield. Although the other party is also human, and may even be fellow villagers a hundred miles away, on the battlefield, they either die or die. In this mentality, human emotions are left behind. Only brothers in the robe are believed. The enemy's lives are like grass and wild animals, and they will not be taken to heart at all.
The miners were not seriously injured. The assault was fierce and the rush was fierce. The biggest casualties came from Lu Xiangsheng's troops' attack. The miners died in less than 200 people in battle, and more than a thousand serious and minor injuries were injured. The combined deaths and injuries were much better than the Ming army, mainly because there were not many people who died in battle, and the injured seemed to be different from the Ming army.
