Chapter 2169: The Battle of Beiping between Qin and Qing Dynasties (End)
“My lord, all the 70,000 and 80,000 banner cavalrymen have been wiped out, leaving only a few stragglers scattered over dozens of miles, fleeing in confusion,” Zhuge Liang said.
Qin Hao looked thoughtful. What Kong Ming said only started in the thousands. In addition, Long Qie still had thousands of defeated troops to encircle and suppress. The Qing army still had at least nearly ten thousand stragglers left, so it was better to be cautious. So he warned: "Don't worry, the main force of the Qing army has been destroyed. Even if we slow down a little, we can't let anyone go."
“Understood, the Grand Governor has sent troops to encircle and suppress them. With the Grand Governor’s meticulousness and prudence, I think they will all be wiped out in a short time.”
"Um."
Qin Hao nodded and said: "Our army wiped out 130,000 Manchu troops in the first battle, causing rivers of blood and corpses in the two counties of Wujiang and Junmi. It should be noted that the total population of the two counties was less than half of this number. In order to prevent the post-war When a plague occurs, the bodies of Qing soldiers are immediately burned on the spot.”
“No.” Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen nodded together.
"By the way, the bodies of the Qing soldiers will be burned, but the heads will be kept."
“Lord, why is this?” Zhuge Liang asked with a frown.
"All of them will be transported outside Lulong Fortress. I will use the heads of these 130,000 Qing soldiers to build an unprecedented Beijing temple, so that the Tatars will change their color after hearing Qin's change, and never dare to invade our border again." Qin Hao sneered. .
Zhuge Liang's brows widened and he hesitated before saying, "Although this can scare the foreigners, it will also affect the lord's reputation for benevolence and righteousness."
The four kingdoms of Tang, Sui, Shu and Chu made great efforts to discredit Qin Hao. Whatever Qin Hao did, no matter whether it was right or wrong, they would always be able to find a bone in their mouths.
So, even if Qin Hao did good things that benefited the country and the people, and allowed the people of the four countries to inherit his blessings, under their unremitting slander, Qin Hao's reputation in the four countries can only be said to be mixed.
The Qin army did not keep any prisoners of war in this battle against the Qing Dynasty. Even against foreigners, such a ruthless attitude will definitely leave a lasting impression. The words in Zhujingguan will definitely become an excuse for the four countries to attack Qin Hao.
As a strategist and brother, Zhuge Liang hoped that Qin Hao could leave a good reputation in the history books of future generations. He did not expect all praises, which would be too false, but at least the name of benevolence and righteousness could not be lost.
Qin Hao knew that Zhuge Liang was doing it for his own good, but he also had his own considerations, so he said: "My king's benevolence and righteousness are only towards my own clan. I don't need benevolence and righteousness to deal with foreigners. I only need a sword."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang stopped talking. His master's mind had been made up, and it was useless to persuade him.
“Let’s go and have a look at the city.”
With a wave of his hand, Qin Hao, surrounded by the army, and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Zhang Liang and others headed for Wuzhong County.
Since the Qing Dynasty was a city that was voluntarily abandoned, although the two counties of Wujunjunmi were not greatly damaged, they only saw a sparse population on the streets and a numbness in the eyes of the people.
The Qin army defeated the Qing army, and the Han people became the masters of Youbeiping. It was natural that the local people were happy to welcome the King of Qin into the city, but what they saw were indeed walking corpses, and there was no trace of excitement or cheers in their eyes. There is also weakness.
All of these are indicative of the heinous crimes committed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Youzhou.
Qin Hao glanced at Zhang Liang dissatisfied: "There is no need to engage in such ostentation in the future."
)
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly. He understood very well why Qin Hao was angry, and it was really unreasonable to force him to welcome him.
Qin Hao just entered the county government, and before he had time to drink hot tea, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen came to him.
Liu Bowen's face was solemn, with anger in his eyes, and he said in a serious voice: "My lord, according to the registers of the two counties, there were more than 8,000 households in Wuzhu and Junmi counties before the war, with a total population of 35,000. Now after counting There’s only a little over 20,000 left.”
Qin Hao clenched his fists unconsciously. Although he had expected this, he still couldn't help but be angry.
Where did the more than 15,000 people who disappeared from the two counties go? Apparently they were massacred by the Manchus and made into preserved meat.
Nearly half of the people in Wuji and Junmi counties were reduced to food for the Qing Dynasty. This was even more torturous for the living. It is no wonder that the whole city looked lifeless.
“Report...to inform my lord to find the human flesh warehouse hidden by the Qing army.”
"Let's go, go quickly." Under Nurhaci's governance, the Manchus have become civilized. They are no longer uncivilized savages. They also understand etiquette, justice and shame. They dare not do such things as cannibalism openly and can hide it. Naturally, I tried my best to hide it.
After opening the warehouse door, what came into view was a strip of dried meat and bacon mixed with the aroma of meat. However, the civil and military officials of the Qin army not only had no intention of tasting it, but lay on the ground and retched, because the meat was not animal, bird, fish, but human flesh. , and piled up like mountains.
Qin Hao's face was also very ugly. Even though he had killed countless people, this scene was so impactful to him that he had to endure it without spitting it out.
“Now the military advisor thinks this Jingguan should be cast?” Qin Hao asked.
After vomiting, Zhuge Liang suppressed the turmoil in his chest and gritted his teeth and said: "It should be cast, it must be cast. Only by casting this Jingguan can we frighten these beasts and let them know what to fear."
————
One day later, under the joint pursuit and interception of Bai Qi, Long Qe, Huo Qubing, Su Dingfang and other generals, all the tens of thousands of stragglers scattered east of Youbeiping were finally killed.
At this point, the Battle of Youbeiping came to an end, and 125,000 Qing troops were wiped out, including Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as well as Azig, Mulhaqi, Shuerhaqi, Fukang'an, and Longke Duo, Hai Lancha, Seng Gelinqin and other high-level officials were captured alive, while the crown prince Huang Taiji, eldest brother Chu Ying, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Honglie, He Shen and others were captured alive.
Of course, the Qin army did not achieve such great results without paying a price.
After the war, the total casualties reached 15,000 troops, including 8,000 cavalry (including 800 broken barracks and 80 Nine Dragon Guards) and 7,000 infantry.
In addition, thirteen captains died in the battle, eight army commanders, six generals, and one general.
The general Lang who died in the battle was Hu Luguang's younger brother, Hu Lü Qiangju. He was already injured. He was greedy for merit and rushed forward while chasing the Qing army. As a result, he was ambushed and shot to death by random arrows. It was a pity.
Although the casualties were high, the results were even greater. There is no doubt that this was a great victory.

I went to have my wisdom teeth extracted over the weekend. The first tooth was buried under the gums and was very deep. It took more than an hour to pull out the gums, but the second tooth was pulled out in just a minute.
After the tooth was extracted, the trauma was great. I developed an acute fever as soon as the anesthesia wore off. Even after taking painkillers, the pain was still there. I couldn’t write at all.
Zhou Zhou’s face was swollen into a pig’s head, the kind that even his beauty could not save, and he also had intermittent low-grade fevers.
I got better after having a diaphragm today, and I will have another day tomorrow, but I have already asked for sick leave, so I can update normally.
