Dong Erchang was almost exhausted at this time, and with his last breath, he rushed into the Qing army formation and killed five people in a row. His eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Kill, kill these Qing soldiers." Then he was slashed by the Qing army next to him several times in a row, and he fell down immediately.

The Restoration Army, which was still in the rear just now, saw Dong Erchang die in battle. Suddenly, there was a sense of anger from the bottom of their hearts, and they rushed straight to the Qing army formation without their lives. Then, like a mad demon, he rampaged through the Qing army. The archers in the back, now without the suppression of the archers of the Qing army, also shot at the Qing army.

For a while, the Qing army was forced to retreat again, and many Qing troops saw the crazy appearance of the soldiers who restored the Ming Dynasty, and they were frightened and retreated straight down the mountain. In addition, the Qing army has been fighting for about an hour since the Qing army attacked the mountain, and it is also very physically and mentally exhausted.

I saw that the archers behind me were already in a big formation, and I didn't have the courage to fight any more. Immediately, they were all afraid, and many Qing soldiers began to run down the mountain. As a result, the Qing army's offensive was instantly collapsed. Of the 6,000 Qing troops who attacked the mountain, there are now only 2,000 people left to hurry down the mountain.

Looking at the defeated army that came down the mountain, the general of the Qing army suddenly raised his knife angrily and directly chased the retreating Qing soldiers and slashed them. killed a good anxious person with one face, and he couldn't stop the collapse of the Qing army. In the end, they can only let people arrest all these soldiers. Said to the soldiers behind him: "Overwhelm all these soldiers who retreated without permission and behead them in front of the battle." ”

I heard that all these retreating soldiers were going to be beheaded. The deputy general next to him hurriedly persuaded: "General, no, now that we don't have the people, how can we attack the mountain tomorrow." Today, we have lost all the people and more than 4,000 soldiers in our attack on the mountain. With the addition of the 3,000 pairs of men in the previous two days, we have already lost a full 8,000 men. With such a big loss, it is difficult for the Governor to ask about it. If more than 2,000 soldiers are killed, how will we deal with the Governor? ”

The general said, "What then?" Do you just let these bastards live, they have ruined my great affairs, how can I easily spare them? The deputy general said: "General, why don't you let them wear the guilt and receive it, didn't Admiral Du ask Wuchang for another batch of people's strong?" It's just that it hasn't been sent over yet, so let them take the Minzhuang sent to attack the mountain tomorrow. ”

The generals took a look, and there were indeed many casualties in the past few days. In the end, I had to compromise: "It's okay, judging from today's situation, the Ming army on the mountain is already at the end of the crossbow." Tomorrow, if they attack the mountain with a large army, if they still can't take the turtle mountain, let them all die. ”

After Du Min received the news of the failure of the attack on Guishan, not only was he not sad, but he was secretly happy. Now he is the only one who has suffered the smallest losses, only 2,000 Qing soldiers have been killed or wounded. Of course, the more than 10,000 people who died were nothing to Du Min, and those were originally used for consumption.

After Du Min confirmed the failure of Guishan, he took advantage of the failure of Guishan to write in Wuchang. said that now the army and Minzhuang have suffered too big losses, let Wuchang send another 30,000 Minzhuang across the river, and 20,000 troops will be needed to help.

When Zhang Changgeng saw this official document, he was immediately furious and said, "Is Du Min trying to rebel?" What exactly is he going to do again? There is only one Hanyang City, one Hankou, and one mountain. Giving him 70,000 is not enough? There are 50,000 people, such a big appetite, and I must punish them severely. ”

Next to him, Yang Maoxun said: "Don't be impatient, although we gave Du Min 70,000 people before, but only Du Min's 10,000 green camps, Bu Shilong brought 10,000 Fu Biao." The others are all people's strong, and they are not used at all. At the beginning, the governor said that he would transfer 30,000, but in fact, he also said 10,000 green battalions and 20,000 people. However, after listening to Li Yinzu's suggestion, it was changed to 30,000 people. ”

Yang Maoxun saw that Zhang Changgeng had calmed down, so he continued: "Later, the 30,000 people brought by Bu Shilong only had 10,000 troops, and the other 20,000 were all people. Judging by the fighting in the past few days. Not only Du Min, but also Bu Shilong also used Minzhuang to block the sword of the Ming army, and the army was just mixed in Minzhuang, and there was no effort at all. ”

Zhang Changgeng said hatefully: "But these bastards are obviously using Minzhuang to block the knives of the Ming army, but their current army has more than half of the casualties." Tell me, how was this battle fought? ”

Yang Maoxun said: "Yes, their battle this time was really bad. But Lord Governor, you can't do it now without sending troops. Today, everyone has seen that the battle in Guishan has reached a critical juncture. If you don't send troops at this time, won't the previous efforts on the Guishan side be wasted? ”

Of course, Zhang Changgeng knew that he could only send troops at this time, otherwise everything he had done in front would be in vain, and he would be in trouble. Yue Leke said before that he couldn't take Hanyang, and if he couldn't fight well, he would kill his whole family. Thinking of these situations, Zhang Changgeng had a headache.

In desperation, Zhang Changgeng had no choice but to follow Du Min's request and arrange to send another 50,000 people, 20,000 Qing troops and 30,000 people to Du Min tomorrow. Early the next morning, when Zhang Changgeng came to report this incident to Yue Le, Yue Le didn't say anything, as if it hadn't happened.

Seeing this, Zhang Changgeng didn't dare to disturb too much, and then returned to the yamen on an errand. After Zhang Changgeng left, Li Yinzu thought about Yue Le and asked: "Lord Wang, when you heard that Hanyang was lost, you forced Zhang Changgeng to recapture Hanyang, and later after Hankou was lost, you forced Zhang Changgeng to attack at any cost. ”

Yue Le glanced at Li Yinzu and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Li Yinzu said: "The slave doesn't understand, that is, he found that Hankou has been burned to the ground, and the prince refuses to give up." Why did the Huguang army suffer heavy losses on the other side of the Yangtze River this time, but the prince was not angry at all. ”

Yue Le smiled and said, "I'm afraid you didn't ask this for yourself." Li Yinzu hurriedly stood up and said: "The prince misunderstood, this is indeed the slave's own problem, the slave has never been able to understand the master's wisdom, and he asked the master to solve his doubts." ”

It just so happened that Yue Le was in a good mood now, so he said: "It's okay, then I'll tell you about the rights and wrongs here." I ask you, whose world is it now? Li Yinzu was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course, this world is the emperor's world, and it is the world of people."

Yue Le said: "Yes, they all say that this world is the world of our emperor, but it is also the world of our Manchurians." But it's only been a few years, and the people of the world have forgotten this. Li Yinzu was shocked: "How is this possible, where did the master hear it?" ”

Yue Le said: "I don't need to go anywhere to listen to this, since I came to Huguang, I have seen this." I just found out that this Huguang is no longer the world of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't know what the emperor and our Manchurians are. The emperor's decree was to let all the state capitals under the rule of the Qing Dynasty be evacuated to the Wuhan area, but what were these officials evacuated? How many people are there? ”

Li Yinzu looked at Yue Le dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "This..., master, this can only show that the officials of Huguang are not doing a good job, how can we talk about Huguang not being the world of the Qing Dynasty?" Yue Le said: "The emperor's holy decree can be discounted, can this world still be the emperor's?" When I was outside the customs of the Qing Dynasty, when I first entered the customs, who dared to have a discount for my officials in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Li Yinzu's whole body was suddenly shocked, and he said, "What the master taught me is that this is indeed the negligence of the minions. But this has little to do with the current attack on Hanyang and Hankow. ”

Yue Le smiled and said, "Originally, there was not much contact, but when I saw the people who retreated to Wuhan, I understood why they had so much courage to dare to discount the emperor's holy decree." Li Yinzu was curious: "Why is this?" ”

Yue Le said: "People, what they can rely on is people, thinking that there are so many Han people in the world, and my Manchurians are just a small clan with a population of only 200,000. I think that although I have won the world in the Qing Dynasty, the population is insufficient. It is impossible to grasp all the world, the world is so wide, once it reaches the local level. It's still not up to them, the magistrates, to decide what to do. ”

Li Yinzu said: "But governing the world has been like this since ancient times. Yue Le said: "Is it right since ancient times?" When I was in the Qing Dynasty, I was always called a Tartar by the Han people in the Central Plains. But we also occupy the Central Plains, who would have thought of it? ”

Yue Le didn't wait for Li Yinzu to continue asking, and said: "Now for the locality, the majesty of my Qing court can be said to be of course gone. Although I, Yue Le, am also a servant of the emperor, I am here on behalf of my master. But the officials of the entire Huguang didn't take me seriously at all. For the perfunctory decree, and for me, it is all kinds of calculations, this is their attitude towards the emperor? ”

Li Yinzu still didn't think that this had anything to do with Huangwei and who his subordinates were. Yue Le said: "They are forgetting my Daqing method, and they don't take my Daqing in their eyes at all." I asked Zhang Changgeng to storm Hankou to let him know that this world is the world of our Manchurians, and the words spoken by our Manchus must be counted. This has nothing to do with whether it should be or not, and it has nothing to do with interests, because we Manchus are masters, and they Han people are just slaves of our Manchus, dogs. ”

When Li Yinzu heard this, he didn't dare to sit down anymore, and immediately stood next to Yue Le and didn't dare to make a sound. Yue Le continued: "Are Hankou and Hanyang really important? For the entire Qing Dynasty, for the emperor, this is nothing. But what I represent now is the emperor, and I am a Manchurian. As long as the emperor said that Hanyang and Hankou are important, then it is important. There is no reason for the Han people, who are slaves and dogs, to go out of their way to get their masters. That's what they should do, not what to do and what not to tell me. ”

When Li Yinzu heard Yue Le's words, he suddenly woke up, and he was a little unimpressed before. actually analyzed the stakes with Yue Le.

Yue Le didn't look at Li Yinzu either, and continued: "I just want them to understand. This world belongs to the emperor, and we are all the emperor's minions. But these Han people are indeed the servants of our minions. We have to do what we want them to do. It doesn't matter what is at stake. Slaves have to remember their own identity, not to talk to their masters, do they have this qualification? ”

Li Yinzu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yes, what the master said is reasonable, but the slave was stupid before. Yue Le said: "I'm not talking about you, it's these Huguang officials." Didn't they just rely on the large number of people, thinking that in order to stabilize the country, I would definitely take care of this and that. Then they think wrong, disobedient minions, rather not. ”

Yue Le stood up and said arrogantly: "As long as these minions are obedient, how many Hanyang and Hankou in the world can't be attacked?" So much so that a small turtle mountain can't be won after three days, which is really a big joke. But since they want to use the Han to send them to death, why should I stop them? When these Han people are dead, they will be obedient. ”

Li Yinzu listened to Yue Le's words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Yue Le wanted to take hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan and 200,000 green battalions to fight the Ming army. Even if he dies, he will not have the slightest mercy. On the contrary, it will make the remaining people see the cruelty of the Qing Dynasty and work even more desperately for the Qing Dynasty. This is the result Yue Le wants, as for how many people there are, what does this have to do with him.
