Even if all the Han people in Wuchang City are killed, it will only be the second Yangzhou and the second Guangzhou. As long as the remaining people are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, Yue Le and the emperor will be happy. As for how many Han people died, in their eyes, the more dead the better, anyway, not the dead banner people, Manchurians.

Yue Le also ignored Li Yinzu and said, "When they have consumed these Han people, our Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners will be rested." Remove those disobedient minions together, this world is our full world, and the emperor can hold the world tightly. ”

Yue Le took a sip of tea and saw that Li Yinzu had been standing behind him. Li Yinzu is only forty years old now, and he was beaten by Yue Le, and he actually looked a little untenable. Yue Le said to Li Yinzu: "You sit down." Li Yinzu dared to sit down at this time, and said busily: "In front of the master, where there is a slave's seat, the slave is still standing more comfortably." ”

Yue Le didn't force it, and said: "This is the purpose of asking Zhang Changgeng to attack Hankou, and it is also to let the people of Huguang understand." In front of the master, there is no reason, no right or wrong. Only whether the master wants it or not, whether the master wants it or not. ”

Li Yinzu said: "Yes, as long as the master is happy, the minions will also be happy." Zhang Changgeng and the others should indeed teach a lesson. Otherwise, they really forget who the master is, and forget the dignity of the minions. ”

Yue Le said: "Okay, how much you said, you also understand." If they want soldiers, they will give them directly, and they will give as much as they want. Anyway, it's the Han people who die, as long as we don't move our Eight Banners. I'm afraid they won't have enough soldiers, and not enough dead. ”

Yue Le glanced at Li Yinzu, who was standing, and said, "Okay, you can go back too, I will say a few words to you today, you are also restrained, I want to keep you in the house again, I guess you are also uncomfortable." ”

Li Yinzu was pardoned, and hurriedly pleaded with Yue Le, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left the governor's yamen. After Li Yinzu left the governor's yamen, he found that after a short conversation with Yue Le just now, he now seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body.

After Li Yinzu understood Yue Le's meaning, it didn't take long for Zhang Changgeng, who was also a flag man, to know Yue Le's meaning. After understanding this, Zhang Changgeng no longer cared about anything, and directly waved his hand and sent 100,000 troops to Du Min.

Looking at the endless army crossing the river, facing this sudden joy from the sky. Du Min was so happy that he wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, this is an army of 50,000 people, and 50,000 people are strong. Du Min never expected that he would ask for an army of 50,000 with a big mouth. originally thought that Zhang Changgeng would be good if he could give 20,000 yuan, but Zhang Changgeng directly doubled it back.

Suddenly, Du Min didn't know what to say to Zhang Changgeng, and looked at the 100,000 army in front of him, and he was a little overwhelmed. Du Min thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with Zhang Changgeng, why did he give so many troops. The only explanation that can be thought of is for him to capture Hanyang and Hankou as soon as possible.

Otherwise, why did he suddenly give so many troops, did Zhang Changgeng feel that there were too many troops? Du Min would never have thought that Zhang Changgeng's current thoughts were really because Yue Le definitely had too many people to give him the army.

At this time, the Qing army from Xiaogan also attacked Hanchuan for two days, but it did not have any effect. Now the people who have arrived with the army from Xiaogan have been exhausted. When he heard that a large army was attacking Hanyang, he came to ask for help. When Du Min saw that Zhang Changgeng was so generous, he couldn't be stingy.

Du Min said directly to the messenger: "To the north of Hanyang, there is a town of Caidian, where there are 10,000 people. Originally, I thought that if the governor couldn't send troops, I would go and levy those people to attack the city, but now that the governor has sent reinforcements, we won't need them, so why not let your generals go and levy the people there to attack the city. ”

Originally, the messenger had only come to ask for help, thinking that if he could find the source of the soldiers, his mission would be completed. As for where these people are, it's none of his business. So he went back directly and asked the Qing army in Hanchuan to go to Caidian Town to levy Minzhuang.

Du Min gave another 10,000 people to Guishan, 20,000 to Hankou, and then 50,000 troops in the three places. Due to the large number of troops crossing the river today, and the people in the besieging army were not strong enough, they did not launch an attack today. It also allowed the Restoration Army to hold for one more day, and the soldiers could also rest.

Looking at the endless stream of Qing troops, all the Restoration Army understood what a cruel defense of the city they would face. Seeing the arrival of so many Qing troops, Gou Xingwang also understood that Guishan could not be restrained now. In the evening, Gou Xingwang asked the standard-bearer to tell Zhou Linyuan to give up the Guishan artillery position at night and everyone to retreat to Hanyang City.

That night, there was a sudden explosion on Turtle Mountain, and even the people in Wuchang City were awakened by the explosion on Turtle Mountain. No one knew what was going on, the Qing army under Turtle Mountain, first thought that the Qing army on Turtle Mountain had come down the mountain to sneak attack. As a result, after a night of guarding, not a single Restoration Army came down.

But Ma Rong in Hankou understood that the Restoration Army he led would become a real lone army. Gou Xingwang gave up the Guishan artillery position, and Hankou no longer had the slightest support.

Gou Xingwang is also counting the days in Hanyang City, and they have been defending for four days. There are still four days left before the agreed time between Gou Xingwang and Zhu Youdong. But if it really comes four days later, can Zhu Youdong come to Wuchang with the army? Gou Xingwang has no bottom, even if he has said it to Minzhuang for two more days, he still has no bottom in his heart.

So when Gou Xingwang knew that the Restoration Army on Guishan only had 500 people, he decisively gave up the Guishan artillery array. Although this practice made Hanyang City lose the protection of heavy artillery, it would be attacked by the heavy artillery of the Qing army's naval division. However, the team of only 500 people, placed on Gusan Mountain, which was not protected by the city walls, played a different role than in Hanyang Castle.

Sure enough, on the second day, the Qing army under the Turtle Mountain found that the Restoration Army had evacuated after attacking the mountain. The heavy artillery on the mountain was also completely blown up, leaving not a single cannon for the Qing army. On the contrary, like Phoenix Mountain, when all the Qing troops appeared in Guishan, they were still bombarded by two rounds of shelling on Hanyang City, losing hundreds of people.

After the Qing army found out that the Restoration Army had withdrawn from Guishan, the Qing army attacking Guishan was not happy. These people, with such effort, got a bare mountain. The people who attacked the mountain were not convinced, but there was no one in Wuchang City who felt unworthy of the loss of Guishan.

Because now the high-level of the Qing army, such as Yue Le, Zhang Changgeng and others, think that the more Han people who die, the better. As for what they get, they don't care. Since the two current Huguang first-in-command and second-in-command have nothing to regret, there is nothing to pity for the other officials who don't have to go to the battlefield.

Next, the Qing army did not have the threat of the Guishan artillery array, and the Qing army's sailors could appear on the Yangtze River. Hanyang City and Hankou City not only had to deal with the Qing army besieging the city, but also had to be on guard against the heavy artillery of the sailors on the Yangtze River at all times.

The Restoration Army of the two cities also completely cut off contact, and could only rely on the banner on the head of the city to confirm that the other party was still holding on. Du Min, who was no longer threatened by Guishan, also let go of his hands and feet. Directly regardless of the life or death of Minzhuang, here let the Qing army attack Hanyang City, and on the other hand, let Minzhuang go forward to continue to pick up soil and fill the river, expanding the attack area of the Qing army.

This time, it was a bitter thing for the Restoration Army in Hanyang City, and the Qing Army's attack line was getting longer and longer. The defense of the Restoration Army became more and more difficult.

Seeing this, Du Min was immediately overjoyed. In this war, if he had defeated Hanyang, the Qing army would have been the only one who had captured the city, and it was not an empty city. Thinking that Hankou has been burned to an empty city, two artillery arrays, the Qing army went up, and the Ming army had long since disappeared.

In this way, two days later, the Qing army attacking Hankou finally rushed to the city wall in large numbers. Of the 3,000 Restoration Army that came with Ma Rong, there are now only 1,000 left. There are only more than 700 people in Minzhuang, and the laborers in the city have long been held by the Restoration Army and Minzhuang to die on the city wall.

At this time, Ma Rong didn't need to command, and directly took his own soldiers to fight with the Qing army in the city. Ma Rong is now covered in blood and has been seriously injured himself. Ma Rong stumbled and almost sat directly on the city wall. Seeing this, there was a pro-soldier next to him who wanted to come over to help Ma Rong.

Ma Rong said angrily: "What do you care about me? Hurry up and defend the city, don't let the Qing army rush in. The soldier looked at the city wall, which was already full of Qing soldiers, and cried: "General, you can't hold it, there are too many Qing troops." Where can we hold on? General, let's go, as long as you leave, it's worth all of us to die. ”

Ma Rong looked at the huge wound on his chest and said with a wry smile: "Just like me, where is I still leaving." What's more, now, the Qing army still has a naval division on the Yangtze River blockade. Ma Rong helped the pro-soldier, stood up and said, "Okay, don't say it again, it's a big deal to fight with the Qing army." We have killed more than 30,000 Qing troops in the past few days, and we have already had enough money. ”

The soldier suddenly asked, "General, did you know that we were the result when we came?" Ma Rong looked at the pro-soldier and said, "How do you know?" The soldier said: "I watched you and the commander, as well as General Chen Fuyi, drink that day, and I understood. ”

Ma Rong looked at his own soldiers with a little evasive eyes, and said, "Do you regret it?" We've been fighting for so long, but we still haven't waited for His Highness to arrive. ”

The pro-soldier suddenly said with a firm expression: "To be honest, I don't want to die, but I don't regret it." I have always lived a muddy life before, and it was His Highness who took us to the east and west. It also taught us a lot of truths, thinking about those heroes who were unswervingly resisting the Qing Dynasty, don't they have a good place to go? But they can all insist on being inseparable from the Qing army. This is the bloody nature that we should have as Han people, and I have not surrendered in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. This is the backbone of our Han people, and we can't lose face to our ancestors. ”

Ma Rong said: "Yes, we are Han people, we should have our own backbone and never give in." You can be defeated, you can even die, but you will never surrender, and you will never be a slave to the country. ”

Ma Rongyou struggled to let go of his own soldiers, looked at the Qing army that had already rushed towards him, and met him directly without hesitation. The pro-soldier also followed Ma Rong's side and rushed towards the Qing army together.

After several battles, the Qing army also saw that Ma Rong was the commander of the Restoration Army. Seeing that Ma Rong was already injured, and his movement was already a little slow. Suddenly, many Qing troops had an opportunity, and they all shouted: "That's the chief general of the Ming army, catch alive." The surrounding Qing troops all surrounded Ma Rong, and no matter how desperate the Restoration Army around Ma Rong was, they couldn't stop it.

Seeing that there are more and more Qing troops, and there are not many Restoration Troops around. In desperation, several soldiers of the Restoration Army had to set up Ma Rong and retreat to the city.

At this time, the city was already in chaos, and there were fighting between the Restoration Army and the Qing Army everywhere. The city walls on both sides of Hankou City were broken by the Qing army, but there were only the Ming Army and the Qing Army fighting in the streets of Hankou City, and there was no one in the city. onclick="hui"
