Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the palace of Shengjing City, Huang Taiji sat there with a livid face. He had been sitting there for a long time. The palace people around him did not even dare to take a breath, for fear that he would make the sweat angry and lose his life.  .  Fan Wencheng and other Han officials were captured and sent out of the city just like this, which made Huang Taiji wish he could kill all those stupid guys.

    But he couldn't do this. Ever since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, his position has not been very stable. The reason is that in addition to the characteristics of the Jin man himself, his position is not very upright, which is also the key.  In the beginning, he was able to sit on the throne only because he had soldiers in his hands. However, because of the Eight Banners system, Huang Taiji, as the Great Khan, could not control all the troops. This laid hidden dangers for his internal instability, because everyone  An idea came into my mind that as long as I had soldiers, I could grab the position of the Great Khan.  []

    In order to deal with these powerful people with their own evil intentions, Huang Taiji had to often use troops externally.  Because in this way, one can consolidate its position through victory, and the other can transform internal contradictions into external contradictions.  However, the situation did not go as he expected. In the past few years of war, the Jin Kingdom did not actually take much advantage. Among them, Dorgon's conspiracy to seize the throne almost appeared. This time, he encountered the sudden invasion of the Ming army.  .  Huang Taiji's prestige had dropped to its lowest point now. Even if the dignitaries took down Fan Wencheng and others despite his objections, he could not really do anything to those people.

    Now the only thing Huang Taiji can do is to sulk in the palace.  After a long while, his face looked better, and he said to the people around him: "Go and call Tuliyang." As a close confidant of his, Tuliyang was always waiting for the call of the Great Khan even when he was resting.  , so after a while, he came to Huang Taiji and said carefully: "Is there anything the Great Khan wants to tell your slave to do?"

    "Tell me, what are our chances of winning now?" Huang Taiji asked this question first.

    Tu Liyang was startled, and then said: "I don't know much about military affairs, but judging from everyone's reaction and the arrogance of the Ming army outside the city, I'm afraid we have little chance of winning this time."

    "Then do you mean that the army will stop here?"

    "Impossible! They are already at the gates of the city. As long as they work harder, they can completely defeat us. How can they give up?"

    "Even you can see the problem clearly, why can't those people see through it? They actually handed over the Han people who were loyal to us. In this way, even if we can escape this time, we will not be able to do anything in the future.  I'm afraid it will be difficult to make progress." Huang Taiji exhaled bitterly.

    "Tuliyang didn't know what to say for a while. He was just a slave with good martial arts skills, and on the battlefield, personal martial arts skills could play too little role.  Although as long as Huang Taiji gave an order, he would do what he said even if he was shattered to pieces, but he knew that he could not play a role in reversing the situation.

    Huang Taiji was silent for a long time before saying: "I have a very important thing for you to handle today. The man who is leading the Ming army to attack Shengjing is called Tang Feng. It was because of his command in Ningyuan that I  Ma Cai died under the gunfire of the Ming army. After that, he came to my country, Daijin, under a pseudonym. It was precisely because of his instigation that my position was still unstable to this day. In the past, my brother, Daijin, went south several times.  , and it was all because of his obstruction that he failed again and again. Now he has killed so many of my people, Daikin, and wants to destroy me, Daikin. The hatred between this person and my Daikin is really  Too deep."

    "Did the Great Khan want me to go out and assassinate this person?" Tuliyang asked after seeing Huang Taiji's resentment.

    "Yes, I want you to help me kill him, but not now. Although from our point of view, there is absolutely no chance that this matter will be good, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should not give up. After all, this is about me.  The life and death of the people of Dajin. If you assassinate him now, it will only trigger crazy revenge from the Ming army, and more people will die by then. I want you to prepare in secret. Once Tang Feng is willing to stop, that's it.  . But if he really has ulterior motives and wants to send troops to deal with us later, I hope you can kill him after he enters the city. This is my last request to you, can you help me this time?"

    "Great Khan" Seeing Huang Taiji pleading with him in such a low profile, Tuliyang hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Great Khan, you killed my slave. I will do my best to fulfill your orders.  Even if it means breaking your body into pieces, I won¡¯t hesitate!¡±

    "Okay! With your words, I will feel at ease even if I die. Amma's revenge must be avenged, and now it all depends on you."

    "Great Khan, what should we do with those who dare to go against you? They" Before Tuliyang could finish his words, Huang Taiji waved his hand to stop him: "These people are short-sighted and narrow-minded.  my bodyHow could Daijin Khan argue with them?  In fact, if it is absolutely necessary, I will send Fan Wencheng and the others out. Now we can only hope that the Mongols on the other side can win, so that the Ming army has to retreat.  And all of this takes time. All we can do now is to delay, and delay the time bit by bit.  As long as this period of time passes, I will definitely eradicate all those people. The reason why I, Dajin, is in today's disaster is because of their existence.  "

    "Excellent name, my slave, get ready now!" Tuliyang retreated, and Huang Taiji's expression softened again. At least he had deployed a new back-up plan, and he was still able to deal with Tuliyang's skills.  I am very sure that even if I really die, I will let the guy I hate the most be buried with him.

    Just when Huang Taiji was pessimistic and desperate and wanted to die together with Tang Feng, Tang Feng, who was outside the city, received good news one after another.  First, the logistics supplies they had been waiting for were finally delivered. Various weapons and supplies were enough for the soldiers to launch a major attack, and the artillery could once again be pulled out to show off its power.  Moreover, among the firearms sent this time, there were several very exquisite handguns. The craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau had just made them and sent them to the front line for Tang Feng to taste.

    Although the handguns made today are still very crude compared to the pistols of later generations, they also have their own advantages, that is, they are easy to carry and can kill a lot at close range.  What surprised Tang Feng even more was that the craftsmen were inspired by him and finally created a device that did not require ignition. As long as the gun at the back was opened and the trigger was pulled, the flint inside would automatically burn the gunpowder.  This greatly reduces the speed of firing.

    "However, because this technology is not very mature yet, making this kind of firing device requires strong technical means, so it cannot be mass-produced yet. Only a few short blunderbuss can be made for use by noble people.  After Tang Feng tried shooting a few times, he couldn't put it down and naturally he accepted it.

    In addition, there was another thing that made Tang Feng even more happy, that is, news came from Datong that the Mongols had withdrawn.  After the attack on Datong for a period of time, there was still no progress, and after the news of the Jin Kingdom's defeat came, disagreements emerged within Mongolia.  Today's Mongolia is no longer the Mongolia of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. There is no unity among their tribes.  This time, they only gathered together to use troops against the Ming Dynasty because they thought there were benefits to be gained. However, after more than a month, they had nothing but their own corpses, which made the people from various tribes begin to feel dissatisfied.

    At the same time, the Han merchants who came to the Mongolian grasslands in the past also began to build momentum, and from time to time sow discord between the Mongolian nobles and ordinary herdsmen. Finally, they could no longer hold on and had to withdraw from Datong.

    In this way, the Ming army had no worries at all and could confidently and boldly launch an attack on Shenyang City in front of them.  The artillery was once again pushed forward by the soldiers. Seeing these sharp weapons that had repeatedly caused the Jin people to lose troops appeared again, the morale of the soldiers reached the extreme. Some people kept asking others: "When can we enter the city?" Everyone asked.  Already eager to enter the city to plunder property.

    But before that, Tang Feng had to do one more thing, which was to execute those guys who had forgotten their ancestors and were willing to be traitors in front of the two armies.  This can not only improve the morale of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, weaken the morale of the enemy, but also teach the latecomers a lesson about the consequences of being traitors, so Tang Feng resolutely decided to execute these people at noon on December 23rd, Little New Year's Eve.

    God seemed to be helping Tang Feng. On this day, the weather, which had always been windy and snowy, suddenly improved, and the sun emerged from the thick clouds, making the visibility much stronger than before.  Tang Feng did not live up to such good weather. After giving the order, dozens of prisoners headed by Fan Wencheng were escorted to the open space under Shenyang City.

    After several days of torture, these people had lost their former appearance and looked extremely embarrassed, so the Jin soldiers in the city did not recognize them for a while.  But soon, their identities were revealed, and Sergeant Jin changed a little when he saw that these adults in the past made such a fool of themselves in front of everyone today.

    No matter what era, traitors and traitors are the most despised, hated and despised objects. If they fall into the hands of their own people, their fate will naturally be extremely miserable.  Judging from the current laws of the Ming Dynasty, even if Fan Wencheng and others were tortured or skinned, it would not be an exaggeration to let them die happily if Tang Feng made such a big fuss.

    But this time, because they were in the army, they could not find an executioner with superb swordsmanship to execute them, so they could be spared a few days and nights of pain.  But Tang Feng listened to the opinions of his men and gave them a punishment that was not inferior to Ling Chi, which was to break the car.

    ?Chariot splitting, also known as dismemberment by five horses, was the death of Shang Yang, who was the leader of the Qin Dynasty on the road to prosperity due to the reform, and it can be regarded as one of several tortures.  Although it does not last long, its sensory impact and mental torture on the victim are no less than Lingchi and other tortures.

    The main reason for choosing this punishment is the convenience of the venue.  There was enough space in the open space under the city to tear these people apart one by one, and the most important thing in the army was horses, which made it possible for this torture to be carried out.

    When the heads, necks and limbs of these people were tied tightly with ropes and then connected to the horses, these traitors immediately burst into tears and begged for mercy.  They knew that they were bound to die, so in the past few days, although they were afraid, they still held on without begging for mercy, because they knew it was useless.  But when faced with such a cruel way to die, they were still afraid, and they just wanted the other party to give them a decent way to die.

    But what they responded to was the sneer of the Ming army officers and soldiers. If they had known about this, why did they do it in the first place?

    Everything is ready. Hundreds of war horses are standing steadily under the control of the knights on their backs. The ropes tied to everyone have begun to be pulled up. Just waiting for the prison officer's order, they will drive the horses and run away.  , thus tearing the person into pieces.

    At this time, another person strode out, holding a copy of the charges in his hand. In front of many people waiting on and off the city, he began to read out the charges of these people in a loud voice.

    "Being born as a son of a man without caring about filial piety, being a Han citizen and joining the barbarians is an act of disloyalty and unfilial piety People like this should be cut into pieces with thousands of swords, but it is not enough to pay for their crimes Today, Duke An of the Ming Dynasty, the world  Tang, the general of the army, obeyed the will of the people and executed these criminals according to the national law. It is really a move that pleases the hearts of the people. I hope that people in the future will be careful not to get the bitter consequences in the future because of their greed in the moment!" Read  After finishing a long article, and the time reached three quarters to noon, someone loudly announced: "Execution!"

    At this time, among the golden men at the top of the city, Huang Taiji's pale face had appeared.  He really didn't expect that the Ming army would do such a trick and actually execute his ministers in front of everyone. This was obviously a slap in the face.  But what else can he do at this time?  There was nothing he could do except stare bitterly at the Ming army's camp outside.

    ¡°Pa¡­¡± The riding whip hit the horses hard. In pain, they began to gallop with their hooves raised.  But because they were still connected to ropes, and the ropes were connected to the prisoners, they couldn't rush out yet.  This made the horses that were beaten a little angry. They kept exhaling large clouds of white air from their mouths and noses. After neighing, the ropes were already extremely tight, and it seemed that they would be used again.  The force will break.

    "But this kind of rope carefully selected by the soldiers is very flexible, so how can it be broken so easily?"  After another pull, one of the prisoners who had fainted from the pain suddenly woke up. After letting out a miserable howl that was not like a human voice, his whole body split apart, and more blood and internal organs were poured out.  Because of the impact, it flew straight up, making people unable to bear to look at it.

    After that, the prisoners were torn into pieces one by one, and the ground was covered with blood and internal organs, which made people sick.  Even the Jin people, who were famous for their cruelty, turned pale after witnessing this scene, and for the first time they felt fear in their hearts.  It turned out that the people of the Ming Dynasty would not use cruel methods to deal with them, which made everyone even more afraid and did not dare to fight the Ming army.

    After everyone was executed, the last heavyweight criminal who had not been tied up just now was brought to the front, it was Fan Wencheng.  Just now, he saw with his own eyes from behind that his former colleagues were turned into pieces one by one, their faces turned into white sheets, and their bodies were shaking constantly. However, the Ming army who escorted him forward was not at all pitiful and still raised his eyebrows.  Followed him to the front.

    "Fan Wencheng, it's your turn!" Following the order, ten ropes were tied to his body.  It turned out that because of his identity, the Ming army gave him special care this time, that is, there were five more horses than the five horses. As long as he ran, he would be torn apart even more.

    Huang Taiji saw that his trusted minister had reached this stage, and he really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.  When he turned back and walked down, he paused suddenly, and then said to the person next to him: "Go and give him relief."

    The horse was ready again, just waiting for the final command, and Fan Wencheng had already fainted.  However, this did not make the soldiers think there was any problem, because when the war horse ran and pulled the parts on his body, the pain would wake up Fan Wencheng, and he would still bear it all in a sober state.

    Just when the whip was whipped and the horses started to move, an arrow suddenly shot down from the top of the city.He won Fan Wencheng's face directly.  Obviously this archery man was one of the best in a thousand, and he could hit the target accurately at such a long distance. Fan Wencheng died before his body was torn apart.

    The Ming army under the city was stunned immediately, and someone immediately rushed into the camp to report the matter to Tang Feng.

    After Tang Feng heard this, he did not feel as angry as others. He smiled calmly and said: "I knew he would not be able to bear it, and it was true. Originally, I was worried that I could not find an excuse, but now the excuse has been  I delivered it to my door. Send me a message into the city. They dare to kill the sinners of my Ming Dynasty. It is really unreasonable. Let their great Khan Huang Taiji come out in white to plead guilty. Otherwise, our Ming Dynasty soldiers will attack.  Go to the city and kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

    The generals under Tang Feng were stunned when they heard this, and then they knew his intentions and looked at him with different eyes.  It turns out that all this was planned by Tang Feng, and he had already prepared an excuse to attack Shenyang.  Now after seeing this scene, how could Huang Taiji come out to die again?  In this way, it became logical for the Ming army to attack Shenyang.

    Without waiting for Jin Guo's reaction, the Ming army was already in action, and artillery pieces were pushed to the front of the formation, just waiting for the general attack order to sound
