Because of the generous cooperation of Academician Du, more than 30 "Eight Banners Elites" from the Qing Dynasty were defeated in the battle at Baliqiao. In the end, only about [-] of them escaped.

Except for the 11 people who received box lunches on the spot, all the remaining elites were captured!

Naturally, these included the greatest contributors to this battle, the Qing Dynasty Zhili General, the Crown Prince Taifu, Du Lide, the Grand Scholar of Baohe Hall, and Du Grand Scholar.

However, during the escape process, Academician Du unfortunately fell off his horse.

The mount that Master Dou rides is not the Kiso horse of the Japanese people. Although the Dawan horse with a shoulder height of 1.6 meters is still somewhat different from those super large horse breeds, even a young man cannot bear to fall from this height, let alone a horse. Take the old bachelor of Du University.

Therefore, when the old man was found, it was a little bit miserable.

Not only was his face cut open by a stray bullet and it was bloody, but most importantly, his waist was broken and he was paralyzed!

In fact, it makes no difference whether you are paralyzed or not. Your head is almost gone and you still care about whether you can walk?It only takes a few days.

Emperor Zhu Da had no interest in a dying person. When Li Zhenhua mentioned this person in the telegram, the only thing he thought about was how much money could be copied from this old guy.

As for the more than [-] captured Eight Banners veteran soldiers, it was worth his consideration.

Like Li Zhenhua, Emperor Zhu Da's initial thoughts were all over the place. After all, the slogan of killing all the Tatars was shouted out, so it seemed unreasonable not to kill them all.

But after thinking about it, he really couldn't give this order.

After all, these are not just cats and dogs, they are more than [-] human lives!

Um, don't get me wrong.

Emperor Zhu did not care about the life and death of the Tatars. He was purely concerned about money.

Nowadays, as more and more lost land is recovered, more and more places need to be repaired and paved, and both the construction corps and the black-skinned Ming Dynasty backbone in his hands are seriously insufficient.

Although ordinary people can also be hired to do these jobs, even in future generations, this will still be a high-risk type of work. It is really not suitable for ordinary people to do these jobs with current technology.

Moreover, the cost gap between hiring common people and using indigenous people or captives is really quite big.

Based on the current minimum wage in the Ming Dynasty, plus food and accommodation, it would cost the court at least 5 dragon yuan per month to hire a commoner, not counting pensions after accidents. ((tェt) I stopped updating for so long that I completely forgot about the labor prices. I looked back for a long time and couldn’t find it)

As for the black-skinned Ming Dynasty backbone and prisoners.

A Datongpu villa with armed guards, three meals a day of multi-grain rice, and a little eggs or salted fish, and then nothing more.

There is no way to talk about wages, and there is no pension. If something happens, just dig a hole and bury it.

This cost is completely negligible!

Because of its easy-to-use and inexpensive attributes, not long ago, he doubled the purchase price of Ming Spine!

Nowadays, the price of a male Ming Dynasty spine has risen to one Mithril coin, and the female is also worth half a Mithril coin!

Even in childhood...

Well, it hasn’t changed since childhood.

But the problem is that although the purchase price has been raised, the number of natives sent by the Spanish has not increased, but has begun to show a downward trend.

It's easy to catch, there are fewer and fewer large concentrated tribes!

In order to make money, that guy Thomas even stuffed in dozens of black Dutchmen in recent transactions...

Of course, the staff checking on the health of the indigenous people would not be able to tell the difference.

In short, Emperor Zhu Da was short of people.

……

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Zhu Da finally made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Come on!"

"His Majesty."

"Send a report to Li Zhenhua and tell him that I have other arrangements for the slave-building prisoners. Ask him to send people to escort these prisoners to Dagukou, and I will take them away on the Hoi'an transport ship."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Looking at the leaving waiter, Emperor Zhu Da, who had clearly arranged the rest of his life for these 10,000+ Tatar prisoners, shook his head slightly with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, I am indeed too kind!"

"correct!"

"Come here, please send a report to the Tianfu Labor Bureau and tell them that lifetime employment contracts are no longer limited to indigenous people. I also want fair-skinned people!"

"That guy Thomas painted it so black that my soap cost a few dollars more."

At this time, on a Spanish warship far away in the Sulu Sea, Count Thomas, who was directing the soldiers to paint the Dutch who had just been captured, sneezed for no reason.

Thomas touched his nose in confusion.

"I don't have a cold! But why do I have a premonition that something good is going to happen?"

At the same time, in the Batavia Governor's Mansion, Whitehead suddenly shivered.

"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"

…………

More and more defeated troops were escaping from the direction of Bali Bridge, and there were more and more rumors in the city. Although the Qing court tried its best to control the news, the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guards were secretly adding fuel to the fire. Can the news be controlled?

Soon, the news that Dolittle's 30-strong army had been completely wiped out spread throughout Beijing.

When the bannermen at the bottom heard the news, they were all stunned.

Will our hundreds of thousands of Qing troops be gone in the blink of an eye?Where are you cutting the wheat here?

But looking at the carriages filled with dignitaries and nobles, they quickly realized that the news was [-]% true!

At a certain moment, the first cry sounded in the city, followed by more and more cries, and before long the entire city of Beijing had turned into a large-scale funeral scene.

Unlike Yin Reng who felt as if his parents were dead when he heard the news, their father, husband and son were really dead.

The unprecedented enthusiasm of the bannermen to sign up during the military recruitment directly led to [-]% of the male bannermen in Beijing being recruited into the army, and then they were left out of the battle.

It can be said that at this time in Beijing, there was no family or household where one or two bannermen did not die.

Crying and crying, they realized that the Bali Bridge was less than 40 miles away from the capital. If the Bali Bridge was destroyed, wouldn't it mean that the army would soon march straight into the capital!

As a result, the city was completely in chaos!

Countless bannermen greeted Dolittle's eight generations of ancestors while rushing home to pack up their belongings and start running away.

As soon as they ran away, the pillars of the Qing Dynasty felt uncomfortable.

The reason why they controlled the news before was to allow them to run away unhindered, so that they could smoothly take away the money they had earned over the years.

But now hundreds of thousands of bannermen ran away collectively, and the crowds rushing towards the city gate directly blocked the road. A large number of carriages loaded with gold and silver were blocked on the road, making it difficult to move.

Even sending people to drive them away won't work. The people who are just running for their lives will not pay attention to you at all.

Until~ sporadic gunshots began to ring out in the distance.

"The Ming army is coming!"

"Escape!"
