Chapter 146: The last day of Shengjing (Part 2)
By noon on that day, there was no longer any official resistance organized by the government in Shengjing City of the Qing Dynasty. But this does not mean that the flames of war have been extinguished. On the contrary, the Liaodong Han soldiers in the Chinese League army who were determined to take revenge finally showed their ferocious fangs to ordinary bannermen after they freed up their hands. Under their leadership, soldiers from other places also started a brutal massacre against the bannermen in the city. They were seen walking through the streets and alleys, breaking down the doors of houses and killing everyone they saw. The entire Shengjing City was filled with endless blood.
Although even ordinary Jurchen bannermen, under the influence of years of war, are very fierce and are by no means a person who can be slaughtered by others, but when they lose their command and are forced to fight on their own, how can they be defeated? Can it beat the Chinese Alliance army, which has at least modern weapons and equipment? Not to mention that now all the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners are fighting fiercely in the Central Plains, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children in their hometown of Shengjing, who are naturally even less able to resist.
In complete despair, many bannermen finally gave up their homes, dragging large and small bags and fled to various city gates in an attempt to leave this city of death. Unfortunately, all the city gates and walls were controlled by the Chinese League troops, and machine guns were set up as expected.
"...ta da da...ta da da..."
Accompanied by fierce machine gun fire, the Jurchen bannermen who were rushing towards the city gate in a chaotic manner were suddenly swept away piece by piece like leeks. The refugees who were caught off guard were riddled with holes by the dense bullets, and died on the street in various strange postures. Even wearing armor was of no avail. Some people held their heads and fled into the shops on both sides of the street, but they still could not escape the machine gun bullets.
In the end, except for some Han Chinese, the Manchus, Mongols and even Koreans in the city did not escape this brutal and bloody massacre. A small number of Han people with "good attitudes" were directly recruited by the military as auxiliary soldiers. Some were responsible for guarding prisoners and trophies, and some also took up arms and joined the killing ranks - they seemed to have been bullied by the Tatars in these years. It was very miserable. They chopped people harder than the Chinese League soldiers, until their eyes were red. In this way, everyone burned and killed as much as they wanted, and at the same time, they looted property, livestock and food in the city. Although the center of the Qing Dynasty has been moved to Beijing, the amount of loot harvested is relatively limited, but at least it is refreshing.
The entire inhumane killing process lasted from day to night. The air in Shengjing City was always filled with the pungent smell of blood and fireworks. Several main streets were filled with rivers of blood and corpses littered everywhere. From time to time, there are many captured Tatar women who are tied into a string with ropes and escorted out of the city crying, waiting for an unknown fate... Fortunately, most of them should be able to survive. Come down.
——In this era where men are superior to women, most traditional men subconsciously believe that women should be regarded as trophies. Even the Han people in Liaodong, who had a deep hatred against the Jurchen Eight Banners for destroying their families and destroying their families, had the same idea of revenge: "Kill the Tatar men, sleep with the Tatar women, and let the Tatar women bear children for themselves"... conversely, , the women of these barbaric tribes in the Northeast have long been accustomed to a life of being robbed...
However, the Tatar men were not treated so politely. Stimulated by years of hatred, these crazy Liaodong Han people were even more brutal than the Mongols in the past! Even the little boys who were not as tall as a wheel were all killed!
Accompanied by the fire and smoke in Shengjing City, as well as the deafening howls and shouts of death, the captured carts were hitched to the captured horses and filled with various trophies plundered from the city. The victors drove him out of the city gate with great force and sent him to the outside of the city where he was under intense construction. In the military camp - because the Chinese League army's attack route for Shengjing's attack was so imaginative, it was not a conventional attack from outside the city to the city, but the other way around from the center of the city, so it had to be After occupying the entire city, construction of camps can begin outside the city.
Then, before the camp was completed, it was already filled with all kinds of junk, making it as messy as a scrapyard.
——The time-traveling officers discovered with embarrassment that when the gang of soldiers under their command were searching for loot, it could be described as ruthless. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were digging three feet into the ground. Look what these guys got!
Of course, there is no need to mention gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and satin, but food, dried meat, horses and livestock are also not spared. Then there were clothes and blankets that exuded all kinds of unpleasant smells, many of which were stained with blood and seemed to have been peeled off from the dead. Even pots, pans, armor, swords and axes were all moved out with great pains... Basically everything was loaded into the car, and it looked like they were crazy about poverty.
Fortunately, the Allied forces' goal this time in the Liaodong strategy was to permanently occupy the entire Liaodong area except Shanhaiguan, the home of the Jurchen Eight Banners, and to prepare to establish large-scale military camps on this black land, making it a global crossroads for Chinese people. A reliable base for the Alliance. So these spoils can be distributed directly on the spot. It would be even more painful if these mountains of things had to be transported back to Vladivostok.

Over the smoke-filled sky above Shengjing City, in the pod of a large airship, General Huang Shi, the supreme commander of the East Asian Theater of the Chinese Alliance, was calmly looking at the battle situation below with a telescope while summarizing this "Liaodong Magic" The progress of the implementation of the combat plan - just like the previous Lingnan strategy, relying on the [Random Door] that can lead to any location, this Liaodong strategy has also turned into an irresistible death magic.
In the eyes of General Huangshi, who has experienced hundreds of battles, using modern high-tech weapons and modern troops to fight the medieval natives is equivalent to playing a very simple stand-alone game with a cheat device. Although among the tens of thousands of troops under his command now, except for a few special forces members, most of them are natives of the seventeenth century in this time and space. Even though they have received training from time travellers, they are still somewhat inferior in combat literacy. But because of the [Random Door], a black technology prop that completely subverts common sense, if we really go to war with the Qing army, it will actually be almost the same as playing a single-player game with a cheat device.
All in all, under the combined effect of the advanced military technology of the future world and the backward war concepts of the seventeenth century, this Shengjing raid has turned into an out-and-out humanitarian disaster. But looking at the tragic massacre below, Huangshi But he had no intention of stopping it.
Before traveling to this era, General Huangshi had no hatred towards the Manchus. In fact, he once had a Manchu colleague in his workplace. They often drank, chatted and played computer games together, and they got along very well. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, when the conflicts between Manchu and Han and class conflicts were all intensified as never before, after more than ten years of life and death, he had clearly realized that trying to protect the Jurchens and Mongols in this social context Innocent women and children is definitely an unrealistic idea. War between different ethnic groups competing for living space has always been one of the most terrifying things in human society. When they are facing each other hand-to-hand, there is no room for kindness and mercy.
Since when these bannermen slaughtered millions of Han people in Liaodong and plundered the Ming people in Guan Nei as slaves, they never showed any mercy. Instead, they were happy and applauded. So when it is the turn of these Eight Banners disciples to be slaughtered, Huangshi is not going to play any "repay evil with kindness" trick with them - these Tatars, who have seen the prosperity of the Central Plains and experienced the pleasure of robbery, are basically ignorant wolves. !
Besides, if we don’t slaughter all you fish-skin Tartars, how can we make this piece of white mountains and black waters become our land?
"...General, the battle in Shengjing has ended successfully. The frontline headquarters requests your instructions!" the secretary standing next to him reported.
"...There is nothing that needs instructions. Just follow the predetermined plan to deal with the aftermath!" Huang Shi waved his hand disapprovingly at first, but suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "...In addition, from now on, there will be no more The Jurchens are in Shenyang City, and only Shenyang City belongs to us! Oh, by the way, what about the war situation in Liaoyang, Jinzhou and Hetuala City now? ""...Report? Tell the general that the current battle situation in Liaodong is going very smoothly. Neither the Eight Banners nor the Guanning Army have been able to organize any effective resistance. Our army has initially taken control of all the major cities of the Qing Dynasty outside Shanhaiguan. In addition to guarding against the Mongolian Horqin tribe, a close ally of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the next task is to eliminate the remaining Manchu Qing troops scattered in the countryside and secondary towns of Liaodong..."
