Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 214 Good News
After speaking, the eunuch bent down and picked up the treasured saber on the ground, glanced at the dead Huang Taiji, and swung the saber towards his neck.

With a sound of 'clang', the sword fell to the ground, and the eunuch fell limply to the side of the dragon chair.

At this time, the entire city of Shengjing was in turmoil. The nobles of the Qing Dynasty who used to be aloof and domineering did not have time to tidy up, so they mounted their mounts one after another and rushed towards the remaining three gates with their personal guards.

However, Wang Zhi's troops rushed into the city, and they showed no mercy to the fled Manchu nobles, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they killed them regardless of whether you surrendered or not.

Charged all the way, and soon rushed to the front of the palace, and saw that the palace gate had already been opened wide, and the flustered maids and eunuchs inside were faintly visible, carrying a bag in their hands, scurrying around like headless flies. The army cavalry knelt and kowtowed one after another, praying for their lives.

Ignoring them and leaving some cavalry to guard, Wang Zhi led his men straight to Huang Taiji's main hall.

Riding a horse, Wang Zhi rushed directly into the main hall, and from a distance he saw a middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe and an old eunuch lying on a dragon chair.

Wang Zhi reined in his horse and stopped, and a guard beside him rushed forward to check, stretched out his hand to press the necks of the two, and after a while, he turned around and clasped his fists and said:

"My lord, both of them are dead!"

At this moment, Wu Sangui brought a eunuch whose body limp into a ball into the hall, threw him into the hall, and said in a deep voice:

"Go and see, is it Huang Taiji who died up there?"

The young lady listened to Wu Sangui's words, ignored the pain coming from her body, and crawled up to the front, looked carefully for a while before saying:
"Big, big, my lord, yes, it's the emperor, oh, no, yes, yes, emperor, Huang Taiji..."

Hearing the answer he wanted, Wu Sangui looked up at Wang Zhi, who nodded and said:
"What the emperor wants is his head, cut it off and bring it back to the capital, and let the emperor send it down! That's fine, you go hunt and kill the Tartar nobles too! It's up to you how much merit you can earn!"

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, several generals behind him clasped their fists happily and said:
"Yes! Your lord!"

After finishing speaking, they all rode out of the hall and rushed into the city.

In the hall, Wang Zhi waved his hand to let his guards control the entire palace, confiscate all gold and silver goods, and of course some valuable antiques and jewelry were put into the warehouse space by Zhuo Yifan.

At this time, several city gates were opened wide, and Dai Shan, Dai Min, and Shuo Tuo rushed out of the city gates with their cronies and fled towards Changbai Mountain.

But it was unlucky to meet a three-person team including the one who blocked the city gate, Geng Chenquan, etc. The two sides met each other and started fighting without saying a word.

One side wants to escape as soon as possible, and the other side wants to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Naturally, they refuse to give in to each other, and the fight is inextricably linked.

When the fighting was in full swing, Shen Lian, Wu Sangui and other troops also chased Cheng Cheng out. Seeing that the leading Tartars were dressed in gorgeous clothes, they also hurriedly joined the battle group.

Originally, Geng Chenquan and the others fought very hard, but now they joined Shen Lian's new armored cavalry team, and immediately felt relaxed.

Shen Lian led the cavalry to charge and disrupted the formation of the Tartars. Dai Min didn't show any strength at all. During the fierce battle, Shen Lian slashed his chest with a knife. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood overflowed, and he fell off his horse. He died for a while.

The three fled in a hurry, not many soldiers with them, only about [-] people, they were surrounded by Shen Lian and others and hacked to death for an hour, Dai Shan and Shuo Tuo were captured by Wu Sangui who was watching them closely.

Of the remaining soldiers, more than 1 people were killed, [-] people were captured, and only [-] people fled in disorder. After the battle, Geng Chenquan led people to clean up the battlefield. Return to the imperial city with Dai Min who was seriously injured.

In Shengjing City at this time, Pei Lun's Rifle Battalion had completely controlled the situation in Shengjing City. Except for the nobles who resisted being killed, the remaining nobles surrendered to the Ming army, and the common people were strictly ordered not to go out.

When Wu Sangui brought Daishan and the others back to the palace, seeing Wang Zhi, Wu Sangui knelt on one knee and said:
"My lord governor, Dai Shan and Dai Min, the leaders of the Tartar Banner, and Gu Shan Shuotuo under Huang Taiji have all been captured alive. Please deal with them, my lord governor!"

After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Wang Zhi glanced at Dai Shan and Shuo Tuo, who were kneeling on the ground in a daze, and then at Dai Min, who was lying on a stretcher with less air intake and more air output, and waved and said:

"Gather up the battle reports, and I will report to the emperor according to the facts and ask for credit for you! Put Dai Shan and Shuo Tuo in prison, and when the army returns to Beijing, they will be escorted back to Beijing together. As for Dai Min! I think he is almost the same. You’re about to die, just pull it out and behead it! Don’t waste medicine!”

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Wu Sangui immediately became excited, clasped his fists and said:

"Follow the Governor's order!"

After finishing speaking, he got up, escorted Dai Shan and Shuo Tuo out of the hall, and asked his personal soldiers to carry Dai Min out, and chopped off his head.

After everything was dealt with, Wang Zhi gathered a group of generals and ordered:
"Now, Shengjing City has been defeated, Huang Taiji committed suicide, all the princes of the Qing Dynasty, Baylor died, and those who were captured were captured. There is still one Oboi outside. Wei Dayong, Wu Sangui, Tian Yongzhen, Shi Hong Tao, Qin Xiaoche!"

The monks and other generals who were standing aside clasped their fists and said:

"The last general is waiting, here!"

Wang Zhi continued:

"I ordered you to take your soldiers to surround and kill Oboi, remember! I only want his head!"

The few people who came out clasped their fists and saluted loudly:
"The last general is waiting, Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, several people turned around and walked out of the hall, summoning all the soldiers without mentioning it.

Wang Zhi also asked the military clerk to count the results of the battle one by one, compile them into a book, and asked Chongzhen to send civil and military officials to govern Shengjing City, and ordered Kuaima to send them to the capital.

During this period, Wang Zhi ordered people to secretly execute all the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, so as not to leave any trouble. Before the arrival of the civil servants, the entire Shengjing City was under military control, but the death order was issued, and the common people were not to be oppressed.

Three days later, at the gate of the capital, messenger soldiers galloped along the official road, shouting as they rode:
"Great victory outside the pass! Wang Zhi and governor Wang led the new army and the frontier army of nine towns to defeat the Eight Banners of the Tartars, and captured the leaders of each banner alive! Huang Taiji committed suicide! Great victory outside the pass..."

The people who were about to enter the city were stunned when they heard the good news, and couldn't believe it was true for a moment!
For more than ten years, the border people have been under the threat of the Tartars all the time, and the border troops of the Ming Dynasty fought against the Tartars all the year round, but they were always unable to do so, which made the Tartars come and go freely in the border area, and the people suffered terribly. Word!

Unexpectedly, one day, the leader of the Eight Banners of Tartars was captured, and Emperor Taiji of Tartars committed suicide.It's like dreaming!For a while, how can the common people accept it!
The victorious messenger ignored the stunned people, shouted all the way, rushed into the city gate, and galloped towards the palace!

In the entire capital, no matter whether it was the common people or merchants, students or officials, they were all shocked by this shocking news, and then, the entire capital erupted into loud cheers!
