Chapter 528
"A great victory!" King De stood at the city gate with a smile and greeted him. "Kill the fake King Yuetuo of Jiannu, Bellorohun, and capture Luo Luohong alive! Behead more than ten thousand levels! General Li can be said to have made another extraordinary achievement!"
Military and civilians in Jinan came out to watch. On a large cart in front of him, there was the body of Yuetuo and his son. Yuetuo's eyes were closed and he was killed by a knife. For him who was seriously ill and seriously injured, it was like a relief. Li Guodong was worried that Yuetuo's illness would be transmitted to others, and he knew that he could not be taken to the capital alive, which made him suffer a single knife. Yuetuo had seven arrow wounds on his body, and two blunt weapons. The final fatal injury was a knife on his neck. Although it was the twelfth month of winter, in order to avoid the smallpox virus infection to others, the body was disinfected by lime.
Luo Luohun's body was a different body, but his head was tied to his neck. A pillar stood on a large cart immediately after him. Luo Luohong was tied to the pillar. In order to prevent him from committing suicide by biting his tongue, his chin was removed. He could not speak and made a vague sound in his mouth.
Behind a long cart, there were Qing army prisoners tied up by many flowers, with more than 500 people. Although most of them were Han military flags and Baoyi Aha, it also made the people of Jinan very happy, and the people could not recognize fake slaves and real slaves; behind them were a car of vehicles with the heads of Qing soldiers.
"Damn Jiannu!"
"Dog Tartar!"
"Bare them to death!"
Countless stones, rotten vegetable leaves, mud, and saliva fell on Luo Luohong and the Qing army prisoners like rain. If the Ming army soldiers had not stopped them, the Qing army prisoners would have been torn to pieces by the people.
King De walked in front, and Li Guodong followed closely behind. King De Zhu Youshu walked and turned around from time to time to praise Li Guodong: "General Li is really brave! He made such a wonderful contribution and saved the millions of people in the De Palace and Jinan! I want to submit a memorial to the court to ask for merit for General Li. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I will use the help of celebrating the merits to invite General Li to the banquet for the Prince Li's house tomorrow."
It was almost the New Year, but the city of Jinan did not look like the New Year at all. This time, the Qing army invaded and plundered. Yuetuo's eastern side troops were rampant in Shandong, and countless people were displaced. Jinan city was crowded with refugees. The Qing army arrived in Jinan again with Xiaonian. In this case, how could the people have the intention to celebrate the New Year? Even the Prince De Mansion and the officials in the city had no intention of celebrating the New Year. But now, the Qing army was defeated, and even Yuetuo died at the city of Jinan. Most of Dorgon's army did not dare to come to Jinan to find fault. King De could hold a celebration banquet.
Walking on the street, there are people on both sides who fled and hid in Jinan City. Some of them fled to their relatives and could still squeeze in their relatives' homes. However, more people have no relatives in Jinan City and can only lay down beds under the eaves on both sides of the street.
Originally, these people should have celebrated the New Year at home. The gentry family with the best family can use the New Year to invite relatives and friends to have a good meal; those with slightly better family backgrounds can kill a chicken, cut some pork, make dumplings, prepare some New Year's goods, and have a tooth-salting festival for the New Year; families with poor families can also make some vegetarian dumplings to allow children to have a full meal. Even families who are too poor to lose their money can find ways to make their children full during the New Year.
However, the Qing army invaded and plundered, destroying all this. Almost every refugee who fled to Jinan City had relatives and friends either killed or captured, and they could only escape to Jinan Prefecture City for refuge. Because of this, when the common people saw the Qing army's prisoners, everyone was excited and wanted to rush up to tear the prisoners to pieces.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to go to Beijing to offer prisoners, Li Guodong would not have wasted food to support the prisoners. He would have held a public trial meeting without hesitation, judged the prisoners and then executed them. But if these prisoners were taken to the capital, they would receive a higher reward than the head level and make greater contributions.
Eighty miles west of Jinan, a Qing army of about 50,000 people was marching towards Jinan. More than 50,000 Qing soldiers were escorting more than 30,000 Ming people who had just joined Aha's team. These young and strong men were still wearing the costumes of Ming people, and their heads had been shaved, leaving only a rat-tail braid on the back of their heads.
Dorgon led the main army, and was confident and headed south, preparing to cooperate with Yue Tuo to conquer Jinan City in one fell swoop.
Two fast horses on the other side rushed over and arrived at the Qing army's front army. The Qing soldiers riding horse stopped, showed their waist signs to the front army, and communicated a few words in Manchu. So the two Qing soldiers who reported the message were taken to Dorgon.
"Prince, something is wrong!" Before the Qing soldiers who reported the news arrived in front of Dorgon, they turned over and dismounted, rolled and crawled to Dorgon, knelt on the ground, and sobbed in a crying voice, "The master of the slaves was defeated by Mingdo. The 30,000 troops were defeated, and only more than 10,000 people ran back."
"What?" Dorgon was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse's back. After hearing the soldiers' reports, Dorgon turned over and dismounted, kicked two messengers one by one, and knocked them over to the ground.
"Yue Tuo, my dear nephew!" Dorgon cried loudly, "Uncle Fourteen still hopes that you will make achievements, why did he betray Ming Gou? It's the second brother Li again!"
"Uncle Fourteenth, Li Lao Er must be in Jinan!" Haoge stepped forward and said, "We will break through Jinan, take Li Lao Er's head, and slaughter Jinan City again! Avenge the prince of Yue Teng!"
Dorgon wiped his tears: "Go to Jinan? What are we doing now? Go and destroy the lives of a group of warriors in vain? With Li Lao Er in Jinan, can we break through Jinan? Come! I'm sending my order to the front army as the rear army, the rear army as the front army, and withdraw back to Zhuozhou!"
"Can you not avenge your great revenge on Yue Tuo's prince?" Haoge asked.
"The Han people say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! Our army is now going to Jinan, but it can't be captured. If you want to attack the city, you can't be trapped. Don't think about it! You can only go for a waste of time when you go. If you want to kill Li Laoer, there will be many opportunities in the future!"
After Dorgon passed the order, the Qing army stopped advancing and the main force retreated to Zhuozhou, leaving only a small number of cavalry to pick up Du Du who had fled back.
Du Du and more than 10,000 defeated soldiers were taken to Zhuozhou.
"Night attack? Another night attack? Li Lao Er has used this move, but he can still succeed? What are you doing with your head?" After hearing Du Du talk about the war, Dorgon was so angry that he kicked the table over.
"Li Lao Er is really cunning. Although he attacks at night many times, he can create different tricks every time!"
"Different tricks? He likes night attacks, so you won't be more vigilant at night?" Dorgon snorted coldly.
Dorgon had decided to withdraw his troops from the Ming Dynasty. This time, he invaded Daming. Although he also captured dozens of large and small cities in the Ming Dynasty, plundered more than 300,000 people, and robbed a large number of cattle, sheep, animals, gold, silver, treasures and food, the Qing army suffered extremely heavy losses. Dorgon's own army lost about 20,000 people, and Abatai was killed; Yuetuo's army also lost more than 20,000 people, Yuetuo and Luoluohun were killed, and Luoluohong was captured. This series of bad news hit Dorgon, making him dare not stay in the Ming territory for a long time. He just wanted to escort the captured people quickly and withdrew from the customs with the stolen property. As long as he could get out of the customs smoothly, he would still have gains.
Li Guodong also knew that most Dorgon would not come, so he sent a cavalry from Ye Busuo to stop the whistle and followed the Qing army from afar to monitor Dorgon's movements.
"Dorgon is going out of seclusion." One person didn't take it back at night and reported.
"We have nothing to do, but it's a pity that our army has too few cavalry, so we can only watch the captive chief Dorgon flee back."
