Chapter 38 Unity
Jueluo is the surname, meaning the meaning is the branch. Aixin is the name of the tribe, meaning gold.
Aisin Gioro, who created a poem for life, began in the pseudo-Later Jin Hongtai period. This surname probably borrowed from the Mongols' golden family to enhance their identity.
Therefore, Nurhaci should be called Juelonuerha.
"Destroying Jiannu is like cutting down a tree. Jiannu is like a big tree with deep roots and thick roots! The Jurchens of the Nurhaci clan are the roots of this big tree, the other Jurchen tribes are the main trunks of this big tree, the Mongolians who collude with the Jurchens, the Koreans are the branches of this tree, and the Han people who were forcibly captured by the Jurchens are the leaves of this tree. How should such a big tree be cut down?"
Eunuch Wei’s answer is very simple, just chop it up with axe and axe. Otherwise, how could you cut down a big tree at once?
Jueluo Baoshi, the city lord of Jueluo City, and his tribe members were obviously the roots of Jianzhou. In the later words, they were all real Manzhou and red belts.
Therefore, Eunuch Wei couldn't wait to dig the roots of the tree.
Cutting one more axe is an axe, and prying one more a stick is an axe.
If we count the military strength of Manzhou’s entry into the pass, this axe would have hit at least ten Niulu.
The attack unfolded silently in peace, and broke out without warning, just like the previous attack on the Jurchen Fortress Village on the side wall.
The Ming army drove straight into Juluo City, ignoring the shocked Jurchens on the way. The speed was very fast and did not give the defenders in the city any reaction time.
When the Ming army rushed into the city, the Jurchen defenders who came to their senses panic and issued an alarm.
The sound of the gong "bang bang" resounded throughout the city.
When the Jurchens who were eating were shocked when they heard the sound of gongs at the top of the city, the Jurchens who were eating were stunned. The armored men in Niulu were busy putting on their armor, picked up their weapons and ran out of the house, gathered together in a hurry to rush to the city gate.
They thought the enemy was still outside the city, but soon they found that the city was full of enemies.
Eunuch Wei is not good at fighting, but he is still very smart.
Under his order, the Imperial Army soldiers who rushed into the city did not dismount and seize the gates, but continued to rush into the city, creating chaos. At the same time, dozens of officers and soldiers ignited the buildings in the city with torches.
Whether it is thatched huts, wooden huts, or stone huts, the buildings that enable fire were ignited by the Ming army without exception.
The summer is dry and the temperature is high. When the fire comes, thick smoke immediately rises in Jueluo City and the temperature rises sharply.
The Ming army was divided into several teams, each with a dozen or twenty or thirty cavalry. After passing through the city, they rode out of the city. Except for a team of Ming army fighting with the Jurchen soldiers and horses that collided in front, the rest of the teams were basically out of the city without Jurchen fighting.
Behind him is Jueluo City shrouded in flames.
The Jurchen castles were not like Han people’s cities. They were built tall and large, with four or six gates, and looked more like a larger settlement area.
The so-called city wall is nothing more than a mud piled up, about one meter high. Behind the walls, there are scattered houses. Not only do people live in the city, but they also raise livestock and manure are everywhere in the streets.
Jueluo City has only two city gates, one east gate and one west gate. The east gate is close to the ferry and the west gate is close to the village outside the city.
After the Ming army came out of the city, they were divided into two teams, one led by Ding Xiaogong to control the ferry, and the other team led by Hu Quan to control the west gate.
Their only mission is to not let any Jurchens come out of the city.
Eunuch Wei lived on a slope that was not easy to discover by a virgin real man, surrounded by more than a dozen personal guards, and pulled his two adopted sons to explain to them how to create chaos and eliminate the enemy's "military tactics" in the chaos.
All Hu, who guarded the west gate, were attacked by Jurchen soldiers in villages outside the city. After hearing the alarm in the city, he rushed out of the villages where he lived, and then gathered together to rush towards the Ming army.
Unlike the tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry that Eunuch Wei saw in Heituara, the Jurchen soldiers in Jueluo City did not have many war horses, because there are many rivers here. Whether it is a mature Jurchen or a child, they are more like hunters than nomadic people galloping on horseback.
Hu Quan divided more than 70 officers and soldiers in his army into two teams. One team dismounted and shot and killed the Jurchens who rushed over with guns. The other team rode their horses and slashed them when the Jurchens were knocked down by muskets in front of him.
Facts have proved that the Jurchens who were not "regularized" had vulnerable combat effectiveness, and their performance was even worse than that of the three camps in Nanjing.
Only a dozen people died, hundreds of Jurchen soldiers turned around and retreated.
Hu Quan's mission was to defend the Ximen, so he ignored these retreating Jurchens and sent only nine cavalrymen to drive them away.
However, what was shocking was that the nine Ming cavalry actually turned the driving away into a one-sided massacre.
Hundreds of Jurchens were urged by these nine Ming cavalry and rushed around, and no one dared to turn around and extend the weapons in their hands to the Ming army.
They only care about their own escape, regardless of their companions' life or death.
Just like that, the nine Ming cavalry cut down the Jurchens one by one without any effort, and then followed them to the Jurchen village in front.
In the end, these nine cavalry drove up more than 400 Jurchens and more than 100 Han people Aha and gathered together.
Looking at the dark head in front of him, the nine Ming cavalry were also worried, afraid that someone would raise his arms and resist them desperately. In that case, it would be impossible for them to suppress them with only the nine of them to suppress them.
However, the fact is that these hundreds of people were obediently like sheep, allowing these nine Ming troops to drive them. However, the nine Ming troops didn't know where to bring these people, and they couldn't kill them all.
Soon, a messenger brought Eunuch Wei's order to select the Han people in the team, and then handed over the matter of the prisoners to these Han people Aha.
At first, the nine Ming cavalry were still worried. After all, most of these Han Aha were captured by the Jurchens, but some of them took the initiative to defect to them. Moreover, many of them lived in Jianzhou for more than ten or twenty years, or even thirty years. It is hard to say that they still have feelings for the Ming Dynasty. If they attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, this concern did not happen.
After more than a hundred Han people Aha were selected separately, they consciously divided into ten teams, taking weapons seized from the Jurchens thrown by the Ming army to them, and taking all the former masters.
At the same time, he volunteered to send people back to the village and brought out all the things that the Ming army might be interested in. Some Jurchens saw this scene and for some reason, they also sent an old man to beg for the Ming army's small flag to allow them to serve the Ming army.
Xiaoqi, who led the team, dared not make a decision without authorization, and sent someone to report the situation to Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei felt it was a bit troublesome at first, so it would be better to kill them, but his eyes turned and waved his hand. He ordered fifty young Jurchens to be selected and sent weapons to assist the Ming Dynasty imperial army in dealing with the evil Jurchen reactionary aristocratic group.
