Chapter Seventy-One: Ta Tianbao's Confused Battle
The more Zhu Dashan spoke, the more excited he became, and the expression on his face became more and more hideous, and Tan Shuanghua, who was frightened, did not dare to argue anymore. None of the people present expected that Zhu Dashan would be so angry directly at Tan Shuanghua. The generals present all looked at Zhu Dashan curiously, and Zhu Dashan continued: "You must feel very wronged, right?" Your Tan family saw that the Ming Dynasty was gone, so they thought about defecting to the enemy to seek your glory and wealth. But you are originally a local clan, if you don't want to resist the Qing Dynasty, you can leave or leave, and go home and farm the land by yourself to be your obedient people. No one will blame you in that way, but why surrender to the Qing court and attack the Ming army in turn? You are killing your compatriots, you are betraying the country to seek glory, and you are selling your ancestors to seek glory. Fortunately, I was not in Wanxian at that time, if I were in Wanxian, I would definitely behead your family and leave no one. ”
Tan Shuanghua looked at Zhu Dashan in shock, saw Zhu Dashan's hideous face, his eyes were red and he looked like a cannibal, and when he heard him say that he had beheaded the Tan family, he immediately cried in fright: "I haven't done anything, our home is gone, why did you kill our family." We didn't mess with you. Tan Shuanghua cried, and after saying these few words, he just cried vigorously.
Tan Shuanghua is just a twenty-eight-year-old girl, if she had married in peace, she would have gotten married a long time ago, but she was only in the boudoir in this troubled world. Usually at home, my grandmother is petted, the elders are protected, the elder brother of the same generation, and the servants of the family are not coaxed every day. This time, the Tan family suffered an accident, Tan Hong and Tan Yi were killed, and there was only one grandmother left who could control her, but the old lady was in poor health, and she couldn't take care of herself at this time, where did she care about Tan Shuanghua. was secretly run out by Tan Shuanghua, and now he is scolded so harshly by Zhu Dashan in this helpless Hezhou, and the crying is sad.
This is not comparable to the Tan family barracks, at that time, I was scolded by Tan Yi for two sentences, and the generals around him came up one by one to explain clearly. Now there are also old generals of the Tan family in this hall, but now under Zhu Dashan's anger, who dares to come out and speak. Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yongzhong and others also had old days with the Tan family brothers before, so they wanted to get up and intercede, but now they can't figure out what Zhu Dashan means and they can't speak rashly, and for a while, there was only Tan Shuanghua's cry in the lobby.
To say that the practices of the two brothers of the Tan family are very common in this troubled world. Since the entry of the Qing army, how many civil and military generals surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be said to be innumerable. Zhu Dashan is really a bit abnormal to be so angry with the Tan family alone. Moreover, whether the Tan family surrendered or not, Tan Shuanghua did not even have the qualifications to put forward an opinion, so none of the generals present could have thought that Zhu Dashan would be angry, and they were also very surprised, feeling that Zhu Dashan was angry at Tan Shuanghua inexplicably.
In fact, Zhu Dashan has just experienced the Battle of Dingyuan, and seeing so many soldiers of the Restoration Army sacrificed, the depression in his heart has not been released. Then there was an arrangement to attack Chongqing, as well as more than 10,000 Qing troops from Chen Xixian and others outside Hezhou, and more than 20,000 Qing troops outside Yanting. When I think of these battles, I don't know how many soldiers of the Restoration Army are going to ambush the wilderness.
Now that the Tan family has surrendered to the enemy, and the Restoration Army is completely in charge, Zhu Dashan subconsciously counted all these disasters on generals like the Tan family who surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, and it happened that the Tan family appeared in front of him at this time. Therefore, Tan Shuanghua became a gap for Zhu Dashan to vent his emotions, and suddenly the suppressed emotions during this period of time gushed out.
After Zhu Dashan's scolding, looking at Tan Shuanghua, who was crying in the lobby, he also felt that it was really too much. He said: "You don't have to worry, this is not something that you can decide, I said that since Song Gaoju has punished your sister Tan family, I will not make any changes, you go and rest first." Wait a few days, I will send someone to send you to Wanxian. ”
Tan Shuanghua saw that the complaint was unsuccessful, and he was scolded, and he didn't want to stay in the lobby, so he turned around and ran out. Zhu Dashan looked at the generals in the hall and looked at him strangely, as if he had made something wrong, and now when he saw Zhu Dashan looking over, everyone hurriedly covered up and chatted with the people next to him.
Zhu Dashan said with a little amusement when he saw it: "What, when you see me scolding a little girl, you feel distressed?" When everyone heard this, they laughed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Zhu Dashan said: "Listen, I don't dare, but it's not nothing." Okay, let's not talk about this, let the Tan family's affairs go over like this. Let's first talk about what to do with the more than 10,000 Qing troops outside Hezhou City. ”
Song Gao said: "According to our spies, there are 15,000 Qing troops in the city, and the main general is Chen Xixian, as well as Jiading's deputy generals Wang Youjin and Chen Jian. This Wang Youjin and Chen Jian are both Hao Chengyi's lieutenant generals, but Hao Chengyi in order to show loyalty to the Qing court, let the two of them take the rear team slowly, the main general only led 3,000 troops to Jiading first, but I didn't expect to be directly blocked by us in Hezhou, he didn't run before he could run was killed by us in Hezhou. Wang Youjin and Chen Jian took their lives because of Hao Chengyi's arrangement. ”
Ta Tianbao said: "That's their luck, but now that we're here, their luck is running out." "This tower Tianbao after this battle also completely aroused the pride, watching so many people under the Dingyuan City, desperate siege, he has been left in the end, the result is only to receive a Qing army battalion, never went up to fight. Now the people who attacked the city wall and the people who attacked the city showed off in front of him, and the angry Ta Tianbao shouted that he must fight the vanguard in the next big war. Now I heard that there were 15,000 troops outside the city of Hezhou, and I was in a hurry to fight.
Zhu Dashan saw that everyone in Kuidong was finally no longer afraid of the enemy as before, and he was also very happy in his heart: "General Tower, I'm afraid you still won't be able to fight this time." Ta Tianbao suddenly said anxiously: "Master Hou, what are you talking about, is it true that I, Ta Tianbao, am I a person who can't fight?" You make me always hide behind, how will I mix up my old face in the future. "This tower Tianbao is also in a hurry, he himself is also the Yidu Marquis of the imperial court, and now he wants to fight, he doesn't even care about his own title, and directly calls Zhu Dashan as the marquis.
Yuan Zongdi said at this time: "Old Tower, don't worry. Yuan Zongdi first stopped Ta Tianbao, and then thought about Song and said: "General Song, you said that there is a general named Wang Youjin in the Qing army?" Song Gao said: "Yes, why does Yasukuni Gong think there is something wrong?" ”
Yuan Zongdi then came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I think it's wrong." At this time, Hao Yongzhong said with a smile: "Old Yuan is afraid that he remembered the prince of Ningguo and Wang Youjin." Yuan Zongdi smiled bitterly and nodded. Zhu Dashan said: "We also have someone named Wang Youjin in the Ming Dynasty? Hao Yongzhong said: "Yes, he was named the Duke of Ning Guo back then, and later when he was in Huguang, he had a big battle with the Qing army, and his whereabouts were unknown, and there was no news of him again." ”
Zhu Dashan raised his head to Song and said, "Have you ever inquired about Wang Youjin's life experience?" Song Gaoju was a little dumbfounded and said: "Where can I inquire about this, this is the first time I have heard of this Wang Youjin." Yuan Zongdi said: "Master Hou doesn't have to worry about it, if he surrenders to the Qing court, we will not be polite on the battlefield." If it's really him, it's best to let him anyway. ”
Although Zhu Dashan also wanted this to be true, he didn't expect this. Hearing Yuan Zongdi say that he should do it anyway, he suddenly had a little expectation in his heart. Hao Yongzhong said: "Oh, what's the use of talking about this now? If you don't hit someone, it's anyway? I said it was more practical, and I was talking. Zhu Dashan also said: "Yes, now that our intelligence is unknown, we can't defeat the Qing army just by guessing here." ”
Ta Tianbao hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Hou, you will let me take the lead, if it is really Wang Youjin, I also know, so it seems that I am really the only one who can play the striker." As he spoke, he suddenly felt that this was a position tailored to himself.
Zhu Dashan smiled bitterly: "It's not that I embarrass General Ta, I want General Ta to stay in Hezhou, it's for General Ta and Ma Yuanjie to use Hezhou's army to form a Ming restoration and Fuming Liangwei, why are you in a hurry to fight?" As soon as Ta Tianbao heard that he had let himself form a guard and horse alone, he was immediately happy, among the leaders of the families in Kuidong, he was still a thousand households, and everyone else was already a guard. Now I hear that I want to set up a separate guard by myself, of course, I am very happy. But this opportunity to fight is in front of me, and for a while I really want to stay and form soldiers and horses alone, but the army that has just been formed will definitely not be able to fight, and I finally caught this opportunity to fight, how can I give up? So I wanted to fight right away.
Ta Tianbao hurriedly looked left and right in the lobby, looked at this, glanced at that, and didn't know how to do it for a while. Suddenly, Ta Tianbao seemed to have made up his mind to fight: "Why don't you let me fight first, and then let me form Fu Mingwei when this battle is over?" Speaking of the back, Ta Tianbao also felt that his request was a bit excessive, which he wanted in both places.
Zhu Dashan saw that General Kuidong's enthusiasm for fighting was finally mobilized, and of course he didn't want to fight, and said: "If General Ta is not tired, of course he can." When Ta Tianbao heard this, he immediately said: "Don't be tired, don't be tired at all." It's decided, don't change it. ”
Everyone laughed when they saw Ta Tianbao like this. Zhu Dashan said: "Then since General Ta wants to form it after the war, then follow General Ta's advice and form it after the war." Then let everyone rest and pacify the army. Zhu Dashan thought that he had not gone to the battlefield to fight, and he had such a great depression and anger in his heart, so he immediately summoned the deputy positions above the group battalion and arranged for them to think of ways to relieve the depression in the hearts of the soldiers.
As a result, Zhu Dashan found that not only he and the soldiers had this sense of depression, but even these deputies who were going to do soldier work had a great sense of depression, so Zhu Dashan had no choice but to become a psychological counselor himself first, and let these officers relax themselves first. And only then let these people do the work of soldiers.
The next day, Ta Tianbao took the lead in leading the team to set off and confronted the Qing army after ten miles out of the city. Ta Tianbao was stimulated by the battle in Dingyuan, and with a garrison battalion, he rushed forward as soon as he came up, leaving Deputy Qianhu Xu Shishi to command. The soldiers of Jingyuwei, seeing that Ta Tianbao was so brave, immediately had high morale, and they just attacked the Qing army with their lives.
These Qing troops were all surrendered by the local garrison of the Ming Dynasty, and such an offensive had been seen there. In less than two quarters of an hour, the Qing army's defensive line began to retreat. Immediately, the deputy commander of the Qianhu Xu Shishi asked the whole army to press up and launch a general attack, and the Qing army's defense line could no longer hold it, and it fled all the way. Wang Youjin, who was mistaken for the Duke of Kui Dongning, was beheaded by the Tatianbao Formation, and Chen Jian saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately surrendered. Only Chen Xixian saw the opportunity early, seeing the defeat of the Qing army's position, he fled in the direction of Bishan with his own soldiers, where he could still take care of the army.
Ta Tianbao asked Xu Shishi, the deputy Qianhu, to collect the prisoners all the way, and he took a garrison regiment to chase Chen Xixian all the way, Chen Xixian saw that Ta Tianbao was chasing too tightly and did not stay. Bishan City did not enter and fled directly to Chongqing, and Ta Tianbao came to Bishan City. Bishan Zhixian did not dare to defend the city, and immediately surrendered the city. Ta Tianbao took people into Bishan County, and he no longer chased Chen Xixian, mainly because he couldn't run.
On the second day after Ta Tian remained in Bishan County, Xu Shi came to Bishan County with 1,200 people and 2,000 prisoners, Xu Shi said to Ta Tianbao: "There are too many prisoners, fortunately Song Gao raised them to bring people to respond, otherwise I will be a thousand people, how can I see the 7,000 captives." Ta Tianbao himself was also frightened and said, "How can there be so many prisoners? Xu Shishi said: "Is this strange? When you didn't see Song Gao holding them up, I couldn't tell whether we were the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty. ”
Ta Tianbao asked strangely, "What's so indistinguishable from this?" Isn't it under the banner? Xu Shi pointed to the team behind him a little helplessly and said, "Take a look for yourself, can you tell the difference?" Ta Tianbao looked back, and was suddenly startled, the flag is the Ming Restoration Army, but the flag is not right, how is it a Qing soldier? He also wore the uniform of the Qing army. Ta Tianbao said to Xu Shishi: "You are crazy, dare to let the soldiers do this flag-raising thing?" Xu Shishi smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either, but the soldier we carried the flag fell and broke his leg." Ta Tianbao said: "Even if the leg is broken, it should be replaced by a soldier of the Restoration Army." ”
Xu Shishi said: "I want to too, but the people don't agree." Ta Tianbao was shocked: "What else is this? "It's the first time Ta Tianbao has heard that this substitution carries the flag and the prisoners don't agree, this is simply a fantasy. Isn't this less than my big battle? Where am I? Who am I calling?
