Chapter 51: The Last City
Seeing that the general vomited blood, the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help, Fang Chenglong repelled them, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and let the messenger come in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The drawbridge at the east gate of Nantai was lowered, the city gate was opened, Fang Zihao entered the city with twenty generals, and the Qing army brigade was in the camp ten miles away, and did not take the opportunity to attack the city.
When the uncle and nephew saw each other, they first hugged their heads and cried, Fang Zihao said: "Third uncle, Zihao is also a good son of the Han family, how can he easily bend his knees and surrender, but the general trend has gone, and he has to surrender." ”
Fang Chenglong let the left and right avoid, the two talked privately, and he said with a straight face: "Surrender without a fight, what face do you have to see the ancestors and ancestors, did your father order the surrender?" ”
Fang Zihao said: "Third uncle, it is not my father's intention to return to the Qing Dynasty, it is my grandfather and his old man......"
Fang Chenglong's heart was like a knife, and he said angrily: "Fart! Father, he will never come down! There must be villain coercion. ”
Fang Zihao took out two letters: "Third uncle, this is a handwritten letter written to you by grandpa and my father, you will know it after reading it." ”
Fang Chenglong trembled and opened the envelope, sure enough, it was the handwriting of his father and eldest brother, his father's letter was very simple, only saying that the building would fall, and it was powerless to return to the sky, so it was better to conform to the will of heaven, and avoid the suffering of Jiangdong's father and old swords, the eldest brother's letter was sprinkled with thousands of words, and the facts were reasonable, saying that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and the Fang family was not able to turn the tide, and did not have the strength to win the Central Plains.
"What kind of ecstasy soup did Dorgon pour you?" Fang Chenglong sneered, he had to admit that what the eldest brother said was right, although the Fang family had swelled greatly over the past year, it was not its own ability, it was completely dependent on the help of the immortals, since the immortals left, the Fang family had no support, and if they resisted, they could only end up slaughtering the city.
"The regent named my father the king of Jiangdong, hereditary replacement, and I am also a Baylor now." Fang Zihao's eyebrows danced unconsciously, "As long as the third uncle is obedient, he is the Hou Ye, by the way, I brought the holy decree, you can take a look." ”
Saying that, he took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, which was originally to prepare the incense case, and the big salute to visit the Qincha after bathing and changing clothes could be carried out, but during the war, everything was simple, Fang Chenglong took the scroll with one hand, and looked at it, it was the holy decree of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing court to crown himself as the Marquis of Nantai.
"Third uncle, the regent said that our family will Yongzhen Jiangdong in the future, which will be the same as the Mu Wangfu in Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty." Fang Zihao came with interest, dancing with his hands, "Our family used to be just a squire of Omijiang Mansion, and when we see the prefect, we must be polite, and we will be the prince in the future, and our family will be the palace." ”
"Shut up!" Fang Chenglong shouted angrily, "You can do it too, the prince of the Tartars, aren't you ashamed!" ”
Fang Zihao also changed color and said: "Third uncle, we are all for the good of the Fang family, for the good of the people of Jiangdong, for the good of the people in the world, where is the Ming Dynasty?" Where is Emperor Chongzhen good? Is Emperor Hongguang the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Is Ma Shiying a loyal general? Not to mention anything else, your teacher Qian Qianyi Lord Qian, surrendered faster than anyone else, the good ministers chose the wood to rest, and the regent didn't care that Prince Yu died under Omi City, such a mind, such a bearing, why not surrender? Why! ”
Fang Chenglong pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and gritted his teeth.
"Third uncle, I know that you are still thinking about the immortals, thinking that they are coming to save you and save the Ming Dynasty, that is a pipe dream, okay, they will not come again! The Ming Dynasty is dead, can you fight if you don't surrender? With the 30,000 people under your command, how can you fight with the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry? Third uncle, you listen to my advice, this little tail on my head is really ugly, but people all over the world have such a little tail, who still laughs at whom? ”
"Shut up!" Fang Chenglong pulled out half of his sword, "Say another half, I'll kill you." ”
Fang Zihao was silent, kneeling down suddenly, his eyes full of tears.
In fact, Fang Chenglong has a very good relationship with this nephew of the same age, the two have played since childhood, but later the Fang family had an incident and the third son stood out, so there was a competitive relationship and a little estrangement.
Of course, Fang Chenglong would not kill his nephew, but he would not surrender either, so he tore up the holy decree of the Qing court on the spot and sent the envoy out of the city.
"Zihao, when we meet again, we will be enemies." Fang Chenglong and his nephew walked side by side, their expressions heavy, "I won't show mercy to my subordinates when the time comes." After a pause, he said: "The Ming Dynasty is dead, but the fall of a dynasty, there must always be a few bloody men to accompany the funeral, you don't do it, the eldest brother doesn't do it, I will do it." ”
"Third Uncle~" Fang Zihao choked up and shed tears.
An hour after the envoy left, the Qing army began to attack the city, and the first line was all surrendered Han army, the combat effectiveness was not strong, and the city wall was full of wood and stones, and there was a bloody battle, with many dead and wounded.
Looking at the corpses under the city and the wounded soldiers in the city, Fang Chenglong's heart was as hard as iron, he planned to live and die with Nantai and fight to the death.
Two days later, news came from Omi that the old lady Fang Xiaoyan announced that Fang Chenglong, the third son of Shu, would be removed from the Fang clan genealogy.
Fang Chenglong was struck by lightning, his father did not hesitate to cut off the father-son relationship with himself in order to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, since the family does not allow him, he can only choose to change his surname.
Since then, Fang Chenglong abandoned the surname Fang, took the second character in the name as the surname, and changed the surname to Cheng.
The Qing army continued to attack Nantai day and night, and the defenders had no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside.
In the evening, the Qing army outside the city shot dozens of letters of persuasion with arrows to come in, and Fang Chenglong also got one, which wrote who took Fang Chenglong's head to dedicate the city, gave a count's title, and rewarded thousands of hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold.
"Which of you wants to take my head?" Fang Chenglong asked a group of generals in the hall, these people were all heroes and heroes he recruited from the rivers and lakes, who once followed him to charge and kill the enemy and defeat Wu Sangui's old subordinates.
The generals have expressed their stance and vowed to live and die together with Nantai.
"Hold on for three months, and the immortals will come to our rescue." Fang Chenglong lied, he knew that with the current situation, defections would appear at any time, so he could only deceive them first, and then find a way.
Back in the inner house, Fang Chenglong sighed and drank alone, Chen Yuanyuan saw that he was thin and full of stubble, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "San Lang, it's not a way to stick to it, why not abandon the city and go." ”
Fang Chenglong said: "Nantai is an isolated island in the ocean, the only Daming city in the entire Central Plains that has not surrendered, where can I flee?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan said: "Will the immortals come to save us?" ”
Fang Chenglong took out the gray-white protein ball and looked at it: "Yes, as long as it lasts for a while, the immortals will definitely come." ”
Chen Yuanyuan said: "What if you don't come?" ”
Fang Chenglong sighed and said: "In short, I swear not to surrender, you are still young, and you can find someone else." ”
Chen Yuanyuan cried: "The concubine body wants to die with you." ”
The two hugged their heads and cried, which was a cry of despair.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded: "Third son, third son, don't cry, don't cry, poor road shows you a clear way." ”
Fang Chenglong was shocked, drew his sword and got up, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find the person who spoke, but Chen Yuanyuan was smart and found that it was a parrot raised in the house who spoke.
This parrot was raised half a year ago, and it can't speak, it's just a beautiful feather for an ornament, but he didn't expect to be a human being, Fang Chenglong was not afraid, he immediately thought of the immortals.
"You were sent by the eldest brother?" Fang Chenglong was overjoyed, and rushed to the parrot and asked.
"I wasn't sent by your big brother Yanzhi, Poor Dao is a Taoist priest surnamed Chen on Wudang Mountain, and the parametry is just pointing you to the way." The parrot said.
"Please, listen to me." Fang Chenglong suppressed his excitement, and his heart was about to jump out.
The parrot first told him that there were people in the city who were plotting to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and told him the names of several masterminds, Fang Chenglong was dumbfounded, these masterminds were the most enthusiastic in the anti-Qing slogan on weekdays, but he didn't expect to do this kind of thing behind his back.
"These people are trustworthy." The parrot said a few more names, these people are loyal solid eyes who will never surrender.
"Your eldest brother Yanzhi asked me to take care of you before leaving, I don't have the same ability as a Taoist priest, so I can only help you escape." The parrot said, "The Qing army's red-clothed cannon is already on the way, and as soon as the cannon arrives, the jade will be burned, and you can't leave if you want to." ”
"Well, I have one more question, what's the use of this thing?" Fang Chenglong took out the gray-white ball.
"This thing is a thought left to you by Yan Zhi, and it is useless." Parrot Road.
Fang Chenglong thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision, he first gathered reliable cronies, asked them to prepare for a breakthrough with their families, and then beat the drum to gather the generals, and convened everyone in the middle of the night to discuss the matter.
The county Ya Zhengtang, the officers above the thousand general of the Nantai Ming Army are basically all here, the war is urgent these days, everyone is pillow Godandan, and they also wear helmets and armor at night, the two compartments are full of pro-soldiers, swords, guns and firearms are ready, under the torches are gloomy faces, and the atmosphere is quite depressing.
Fang Chenglong paced in the hall, suddenly stopped, and called the names of the four people, and the generals who were called by name looked at each other, unable to guess how his plot was revealed.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, I will let you go." Fang Chenglong said lightly, "Everyone knows each other, can you keep the head for Cheng." ”
The four of them let go of their hands on the hilt of their knives, and at the same time knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, saying that they had been blinded by lard and that they should not have any backthought.
"I don't blame you, the imperial court has fallen, Teacher Qian Qianyi has descended, even my father and my eldest brother have descended, why should I ask you to live and die with Nantai, let's get together and disperse."
The matter has come to this point, and it can only be done like this, those who are willing to surrender surrender, and those who are willing to go with Fang Chenglong to clean up the softness.
On the fourth watch, more than 10,000 people broke out of the siege from the west gate of Nantai, and half of them were separated when they passed through the tent of the Qing army, and only 5,000 people entered the Daqingshan area.
The next day, the flag was erected at the head of the city of Nantai, and the last city in the Central Plains was also surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After Jiangdong was pacified, Emperor Shunzhi ordered the Jiangdong King Fang Chengbin's family to move to Beijing, built a palace for them to live, cut his throne a year later, and demoted to Jiangdong Hou, and then half a year later, Fang's family was full of more than 50 old ** women, and was beheaded in Beijing.
