Li Liangdong saw that there were only about 200 people around Wang Ping, and he immediately looked down on Wang Ping. I feel that after Wang Ping surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he now only brought 200 people. For a while, he was contemptuous, and said: "Chief soldier Wang, you were also a general soldier before, why are you now mixed into a hundred households, and there are only two hundred people under your command, and even one of my garrisons is not as good as me." ”

Wang Ping saw that Li Liangdong was delaying time, so he said: "If you want to fight, you can fight, why bother with verbose, I see that you lost Hanchuan, will Zhang Changgeng spare you when you go back." Li Liangdong said: "Mr. Wang is too confident, now that Hanchuan is still in our hands, why did he lose it?" ”

Wang Ping said: "You are so confident, do you really think that your five hundred green camp is capable of?" Listen, now that the entire Hanchuan has been attacked by our Ming army, do you still want to hold the Hanchuan? When Li Liangdong heard this, sure enough, there were shouts of Da Ming entering the city everywhere.

It's not that Wang Ping is talking nonsense, but he only has 200 people in his hands now, and Li Liangdong now has more than 300 people. If it weren't for the large army entering the city, the situation of the Qing army was unknown, and the Qing army was panicked, Wang Ping would have been defeated long ago.

Li Liangdong panicked at this time, and his tone softened, and said, "General Wang, how many troops are there this time?" Don't fool me. Wang Ping saw that Li Liangdong was moved, so he said: "Don't fool you, we have an army of 10,000 in attack Hanchuan this time." If you don't believe it, just stay and see how you die. ”

Li Liangdong didn't believe it at first, if there are really 10,000 people, you can only take 200 people along the way. Just when Li Liangdong was hesitating, there was a sudden commotion behind Wang Ping, and he saw a steady stream of thousands of people running behind him.

In this way, Li Liangdong was immediately frightened. Immediately threw away the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Don't fight, stop it, we surrender, we surrender." Wang Ping looked back and knew that the people behind him had entered the city. I saw that these people didn't have weapons in their hands, so they just ran here in unison, and the momentum was very terrifying.

After Li Liangdong also saw it clearly, he wanted to regret it. But the weapons of his soldiers had already been taken away by the people of the Restoration Army, so they had to give up.

Wang Ping distributed all the collected weapons to Minzhuang, and immediately there were about 500 people under his command, and let people cut off the braids of the Qing army, and then mixed the Qing army in Minzhuang and killed them in the city together.

Chen Fuyi took the Restoration Army and rushed all the way to the county Yachong. When I was about to arrive at the county office, I saw a few people running wildly in front of me. Chen Fuyi saw that the middle person was wearing an official uniform, and shouted: "The person in front is the county order, capture the county order alive." He shouted and ran straight to the prefectural order in front of him.

The Restoration Army, which was following Chen Fuyi, immediately became noisy and shouted: "Capture the county order alive and kill it." Jin Wanyi, who was running to the county government in front, was suddenly frightened and ran desperately to the county office. But where did the Fuming army run, he was tripped on the steps in front of the county government and immediately fell to the ground.

was chased by Chen Fuyi, cut off his head with a knife, and before Chen Fuyi could make another move, several Qing soldiers who followed Jin Wanyi suddenly shouted: "Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender." ”

At this time, Chen Fuyi didn't pay attention to these little soldiers, just held Jin Wanyi's head in his hand, raised it above his head and shouted: "The county order has been killed, surrender and don't kill." Suddenly, the surrounding Fuming troops shouted: "The county order has been killed, surrender and not kill." ”

The news of Jin Wanyi's killing, like a raging wind, soon spread throughout Hanchuan City. Later, people in the entire Hanchuan City shouted one after another: "The county order is dead, surrender and don't kill." Those Qing troops who were still resisting, when they heard the news, fled in all directions. The Restoration Army divided into several teams and went to various key points to defend.

At this time, Wang Ping also rushed over with Li Liangdong, and when Chen Fuyi saw Li Liangdong's Qing soldier clothes, he immediately said: "Wang Qianhu, what are you doing with this Qing army?" Since he was a prisoner, he was directly incorporated into the army and strengthened the defense of Hanchuan as soon as possible. ”

Wang Ping said: "General Chen, this is the Qing army garrison in Hanchuan, and it has surrendered now." Chen Fuyi was a little surprised and said: "Garrison? Okay, let him listen to your work first, and when this battle is over, make another arrangement. By the way, let him bring people to move the weapons out, and we will let the people of the city defend it together. ”

Wang Ping saw that Chen Fuyi was indeed very busy, so he immediately resigned, left the Qing soldiers in Li Liangdong's hands, and then took one hundred soldiers of the Ming Restoration Army and three hundred people, and asked Li Liangdong to lead the way to the arsenal and move the weapons out.

Chen Fuyi arranged for people to count the food in the city and the materials used for defense. At this time, all the generals under him came to report one after another, saying that the Qing army in the city had basically been cleared. Because the Restoration Army only wanted to defeat Hanchuan and did not wipe out all the Qing troops in the city, many Qing troops fled from the city.

Chen Fuyi said: "Now no matter those Qing soldiers who have fled, we are going to hold Hanchuan and block the Qing troops in Xiaogan and other places." Do not let them join the Qing army in Wuchang, and then go to attack Hanyang. You immediately sifted through the people of the city, and beheaded all the families of the Qing court officials and the families of the soldiers who had escaped. ”

Several generals were suddenly shocked and said, "My lord, if we do this now, will His Highness say that we are disturbing the people at that time?" Chen Fuyi said: "It's too late now, we can't distinguish them one by one, so we have to do this, if His Highness blames it at that time, I will bear it alone." ”

When the generals under him saw Chen Fuyi say this, they immediately stopped dissuading. Zhong Ning said: "My lord, there are about 10,000 people entering the city now, what should we do?" Chen Fuyi said: "Wang Ping went to move weapons, you wait for a team of ten people, and let a soldier of the Restoration Army serve as Xiaoqi." Then I will take you to practice for two days, and it is estimated that the Qing army will not come in these two days. ”

Zhong Ning said: "Okay, I'll let people start the team." Chen Fuyi said: "Tell those people who want to live, give me a good drill in the past two days, if you don't practice well, the Qing army will kill those who have not practiced first." ”

Chen Fuyi said to a pro-soldier again: "You take some people and gather all the Langzhong in the city." Then all the medicinal materials were collected, and everything now is mainly about defending the city. ”

As soon as the pro-soldier left, Chen Fuyi said to a general: "You take people to make the people in the city strong, and all of them will strengthen the city defense." If there is anything that needs to be repaired, hurry up and repair it, and all the defensive materials will be carried to the city wall. ”

With Chen Fuyi's orders issued one after another, the entire Hanchuan City immediately began to move. The soldiers of the Restoration Army were busy all night, and Chen Fuyi did not let them rest. Instead, he waited until the entire Hanchuan City was completely under control, and then began to let the soldiers take turns to rest.

However, the people in Hanchuan City, and the people who came from the town across the town from the Liu family, only rested for two hours, and began to repair the city walls, carry materials, and practice.

After seeing everything arranged, Chen Fuyi glanced in the direction of Hanyang, and said in his heart: "Lord Commander, Ma Rong, how is it over there, can we see each other again?" ”

At this time, Wang Ping and Li Liangdong came back from the arsenal, and Wang Ping said: "Lord Commander, the weapons in the arsenal have been moved out, and everyone has been asked to get them." But just now I saw many soldiers in the city, harassing the people of the city. Do you want to restrain it, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the city. ”

Chen Fuyi glanced at Wang Ping and said, "I arranged them all, and these people went to execute them, and they were all family members of some Qing court officials. There are also the families of those who fled from the city. Wang Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "General, why is this?" They scattered, and there was no need to kill their families. Your Highness has said that you must not harass the people, let alone plunder the people. ”

Chen Fuyi was busy all night, and suddenly said with some annoyance: "General Wang has worked in the Qing court, so he must know how the Qing army is doing to the people who resist them." Wang Ping said: "So what, do we also have to learn from the Qing soldiers?" Now we are not dealing with the Manchurians, but with the Han Chinese. ”

Chen Fuyi said: "Although you can't learn everything, there are some things that you can still learn." They slaughtered the city so that the Han people of China were afraid and did not dare to resist. I am now killing the families of the Qing soldiers who ran out of the city, and I am also telling the Qing soldiers and people who are in the city. If he dares to surrender or fight any other major player, I will kill his whole family. ”

Seeing that Wang Ping was about to say more, Chen Fuyi interrupted: "Okay, now is not the time to dwell on these, as long as we hold Hanchuan, and when this battle is over, His Royal Highness will cut me down because of these things, and I have no complaints." ”

Chen Fuyi walked in front of Wang Ping and said: "But now we can't care about this, if we don't hold Hanchuan." Let the Qing army in the north go south, join up with the Qing army in Wuchang, and attack Hanyang together, how sure do you think the commander will be able to hold it? If we really can't hold it, can Your Highness's plan be realized, can the army withdraw from Sichuan at that time, and how many people will we die? ”

Wang Ping was speechless for a moment, and the more Chen Fuyi spoke, the more excited he became, almost shouting: "At that time, how many people will die in Sichuan?" You have to remember that you are a general, and those small things are not things you should think about. Now your task is to guard Hanchuan with me, understand? ”

Wang Ping didn't dare to speak at this time, and said, "The last general understands, I'll go and inspect the materials for defending the city." Chen Fuyi said: "Now there is no sign of the Qing soldiers coming to attack, if you can rest, you should seize the time to rest, and there is still a battle to be fought later." Take care of all the grain stores in the city, and no one now knows how long we will have to keep watch, and we must not run out of food. The person who went to check the grain depot just now said that there was not much grain at all. ”

At this time, Li Liangdong said: "There is not much grain in Hanchuan, and there is not much food to supply during this time, so of course there is not much grain." Chen Fuyi said: "Therefore, all grain must be controlled, and anyone who dares to steal grain and store grain for profit will be investigated and punished." Wang Ping, you can do this now. ”

After Wang Ping left, Chen Fuyi made his butt on the chair. Since the beginning of Jingmen, Chen Fuyi has not had a good rest. I basically didn't close my eyes last night. As soon as he relaxed now, Chen Fuyi suddenly felt exhausted, but he didn't dare to rest at ease.

After thinking about it carefully and feeling that everything was arranged, Chen Fuyi sat on the chair and fell asleep in a daze. But he still muttered in his mouth: "Now Gou Xingwang should be about to attack the city." ”

Gou Xingwang, who was nagged by Chen Fuyi, was indeed preparing to attack the city, but he was still waiting for news. Gou Xingwang is now hiding next to the Ximen Bridge outside the west gate of Hanyang City with 4,000 men, and he wants to wait for the deputy general to take 3,000 people to Guishan outside Hanyang City, where there is an artillery position of the Qing army.

There is also Phoenix Mountain at the north gate of Hanyang City, which was also an artillery position of the Qing army. However, the cannon on Phoenix Mountain is much smaller than that on Turtle Mountain, and it can only defend Hanyang City. The cannons of the city defense and the river defense installed on the Turtle Mountain, and the short-range Franc machine guns on the Phoenix Mountain, complement each other.
