Chapter 944 Mandahai Surrender
With a loud bang, on the chimney mountain, the desperate Kong Youde used gunpowder to bear his sinful life.
The explosion made Haoge's eyes burst into tears. He saw tragic, but at the same time it also made Mandahai's face pale, and he saw despair.
When the Qing army on the Great Wilderness Mountain saw that Yantong Mountain was captured by the Gan Army, it was his turn next, and he felt sad and felt as if he had lost his parents.
After the explosion of Yantong Mountain, the deadly silence on the Great Wilderness Mountain. The Qing soldiers, who were so hungry that they had no energy, stared at the distant Ganjun rushed to the top of the mountain and planted the Red Dragon Banner.
Not long after, Gao Huan climbed to the top of the chimney mountain, and Gao Jie, with a smoke on his face, reported: "Report to Your Majesty, our troops have taken the top of the mountain, more than 15,000 Qing troops were killed, and all the rest surrendered."
The battle to attack the mountain was very easy. Except for a few Kong Youde's personal guards resisting, the Gan army seized the mountain without much casualties.
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Where is Kong Youde's body?"
"Your Majesty, Kong Youde has blown himself into slag, and he can only find some minced meat, which is no longer recognizable." Gao Jie smiled.
Gao Huan stroked his beard, "It's a bargain!"
Gao Huan originally wanted to seize Kong Youde and criticize and teach the abominable Japanese a lesson. However, since people are dead, they can only compile books and scold them, nail them to the pillar of shame in history, and warn future generations not to be traitors and not torture physically.
At this time, the Gan army began to escort the Qing army prisoners down the mountain to clear the battlefield. On the Great Wilderness Mountain where the battle was witnessed, the morale of the Qing army was completely lost.
Before the Gan Army began to attack the Dahuang Mountains, the Green Camp soldiers on the hillside began to defect in an institutional way.
In less than an hour, more than 10,000 people ran away, leaving only the flag soldiers and a few Mongolians gathered on the top of the mountain, waiting for the final judgment.
Hou Zongze stood in front of Mandahai, who was ashamed and said with concern: "At this point, the prince has done his best, and it is better for the soldiers~"
A group of Qing army generals and cemeteries on the top of the mountain heard the sound and looked at them, hoping to hear the answer they wanted to hear.
Kong Youde was very guilty. Perhaps he realized that he had no good results when he was caught, so he forced himself to death. However, many Qing soldiers on the Great Wilderness Mountain did not want to die.
After thirty or forty years of war, the old Eight Banners had almost died. The Qing army now had long lost the spirit of the older generation. Faced with the threat of death, many people were timid in their hearts.
"What's worse?" Mandahai said in a deep voice.
Hou Zongze gritted his teeth, "Prince, why not surrender and save his life!"
Mandahai was not angry, but asked, "Will Gao Huan let me go?"
Hou Zongze said: "There will definitely be punishment, but it should be able to save your life. After all, Prince Rui is still alive."
When Mandahai heard the words, a light appeared in his eyes. He looked at the Eight Banners soldiers around him with a miserable expression, and suddenly sighed, "The destiny is not in the Qing Dynasty!"
As he said that, he looked at Hou Zongze, suddenly stood up, grabbed his hand, and sighed: "The strong wind knows the strong grass country's chaos and loyal ministers. Those who usually yell to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and to be loyal to me have all slipped away, and only you are still by my side. I am really moved."
Hou Zongze's eyes were filled with tears, "This is what a slave should do, and if it weren't for the slave's mistaken dispatch of troops and giving the Koreans a chance to cause trouble, Lushun is also~"
Mandahai waved his hand, "You can't blame you for this matter. Even if you don't transfer troops, I can't defend Lushun. In short, the ending has long been destined."
"Prince!" Hou Zongze cried bitterly, long live understanding.
Mandahai patted his shoulder, "Okay, now you are the only Han people around me, so you will negotiate with Ganjun and discuss the surrender!"
Hou Zongze nodded heavily when he heard this, "Don't worry, Prince, I will definitely win you a good condition to save the prince's life."
Mandahai was moved in his heart, and the Eight Banners soldiers around him breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
After all, it is better to live than to die well. To be sentenced to labor reform, it is worse than to be killed meaninglessly.
In the Ganjun camp, after Gao Huan took down Yantong Mountain, he discussed with the generals to seize the Dahuang Mountain, wipe out the remnants of the Qing army, and end the Battle of Lushun.
At this time, Gao Huan sat upright in the big tent and listened to the reports of his subordinates.
Huang Degong said: "Your Majesty, the army has captured Yantong Mountain and Kong Youde has given him the title of head. The morale of the Qing army soldiers on the Dahuang Mountain has collapsed. In just a short while, nearly 10,000 people have gone down the mountain to surrender."
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "It seems that Mandahai is just taking things out of his pocket. Who will you go?"
Although there is no challenge to win Mandahai, Mandahai is the prince of the Qing Dynasty after all, and it is a great achievement to seize it.
Now there are fewer and fewer princes in the Qing court, and there are fewer ones to be arrested. The competition among the Ganjun army is fierce and the market is serious. The generals naturally want to get this opportunity to give away their achievements for free.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go, I am willing to go." Except for Huang Degong, Gao Jie couldn't bear to take advantage of such a merit, and the rest of the people asked for their orders.
Huang Degong and Gao Jie have become Duke of the Kingdom and are unlikely to be granted the title of king. This credit does not matter, but it is too important for those who have not even made the Marquis or Uncle.
At this time, Gao Huan glanced at the generals and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Who should I give this credit to? At this moment, Yang Yan walked in and Yu Gaohuan whispered in his ear.
Gao Huan looked at Yang Yan when he heard the words, and nodded when he saw him, he immediately said regretfully: "My dear friends, Mandahai sent someone to surrender. No one can get this credit."
When everyone heard that Mandahai was about to surrender, they couldn't help feeling very upset and felt it was a pity.
Kong Youde was dead, and Mandahai actually had the attitude to surrender.
However, if the Qing army wanted to surrender, the Gan army naturally could not refuse and insisted on letting Mandahai continue to fight.
Now that the war between the Qing Dynasty has not been completed, if you do not accept surrender, it may lead to fierce resistance from the Qing army.
At this time, Gao Huan glanced at everyone and waved his hand, "I want to meet the envoy, so all my dear friends will disperse first."
Many generals of the military were puzzled when they saw this. Isn’t it just to receive the envoy? Why do they need to receive the envoy alone?
Gao Huan and others withdrew, and immediately ordered Yang Yan to bring the envoy in and let the soldiers guard the big tent and prevent others from getting close to him.
Soon, Hou Zongze was taken into the tent. Gao Huan waved his hand and asked someone to retreat, then stood up and walked over, showing a kind father's smile, "My dear, thank you for your hard work!"
When Hou Zongze heard the words, tears burst out from his eyes, and he knelt down and saluted Gao Huan, "I, pay homage to Your Majesty! I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission and come to report to Your Majesty!"
Gao Huan helped him up and comforted him: "I always remember my dear achievements and I often worry about your safety. Now that you can come back, I am very happy!"
Hou Zongze was moved, and said a few more words, talking about the serious matters: "Your Majesty, I see that after this Qing Dynasty defeat, people will definitely be shaken within it, and will not be as solid as in the past. In order to shake the hearts of the Qing people, I took the initiative and persuaded Mandahai to surrender!"
A prince who took the initiative to surrender would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the people and morale of the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Gao Huan had already thought of how to deal with Mandahai. "You did a good job in this matter. When you fight a war, you don't have to rely on the army. After Mandahai surrendered, I plan to let him form a group with Doorgun to argue the source of Manchus, criticize Nurhaci and Huang Taiji's betrayal of China, and call on Manchus to surrender to the big fights, serve the big fights, and establish a Greater Chinese civilization circle."
