Chapter 237: Duoduo sent someone to surrender

Wu Zheng naturally didn't know about the discussion of the Qian family's uncle and nephew behind him.

I don't know that if these two people have hot brains, it will cause a mutiny.

At this time, Wu Zheng's mind was thinking about how to win this battle with more than 6,000 people and the least casualties.

Everyone knows that according to the explanation of the national treasure, the chance of winning the attack on Changzhou Mansion is extremely high.

The key is the casualties that the army will endure.

If the casualties are large, it is better not to attack, because one needs to be defended, Changzhou is not far from Yingtianfu, only separated by a Zhenjiang Mansion, once the Qing army counterattacked, the defenders of the city were few, and they had to withdraw in disgrace.

Second, the purpose of taking Changzhou is to deter Ying Tianfu, if the number of troops is small, and the expected goal cannot be achieved at all, then the Qing court is afraid of the Ming army in Changzhou, and the expectation of sending troops to support Ying Tianfu from all over the country, thereby reducing the pressure on Shaoxing is a joke.

Wu Zheng found that his estimate was wrong.

Originally, I thought that on the road from Jiangyin to Changzhou, there would be rebels from all over the country vying to vote.

But in fact, in addition to a rebel army of more than 100 people who came to vote in shame, there were also groups of people who watched the army pass by blankly.

At this time, Wu Zheng realized that in the border area from Jiangyin to Songjiang, the Ming people were almost dead.

The Qing army went south, Yangzhou on the 10th, Jiangyin on the 81st, Jiading three massacres, how many people died in this catastrophe.

All the rest of them, except for women and children, the old and the weak, all joined the rebel armies.

And Qian Sudian and Xia Wanchun won the Jiaxing Mansion in one fell swoop, attracting rebels from all over the world to vote.

Now around, how can there be an organized rebel army waiting for Wu Zheng to retract?

Thinking about this clearly, Wu Zheng was a little frustrated, Changzhou had Hong Chengchou personally garrisoned, before Changzhou had surrendered to the Qing army under the leadership of Liu Guangdou, the imperial history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, even if most of the defenders in the city were Ming troops, there was Hong Chengchou to supervise the battle, I am afraid that the possibility of rebellion is extremely small.

In the distance, the singing voices of Ji Conglian and Huang Desheng were heard

"Yixing people, a gun.

Wuxi people, a group of incense.

Jingjiang people hurriedly knelt on the beach.

The people of Changzhou have dedicated their daughters and mothers.

Jiangyin people, who have been fighting for more than 80 days, would rather die than surrender! ……”

For Changzhou City, Wu Zheng no longer had any hope of rebelling against the defenders.

But the attack on Changzhou is already like an arrow on the bow, and it has to be sent!

……。

The post pavilion is adjacent to Yuyao in the east, and Shangyu in the west, and is named after the center of the ancient post road from Hangzhou to Ningbo.

It has a deep history, and although it is sparsely populated, it is also a hometown of famous people.

In particular, the White Horse Lake, which is not far from the south, has abundant aquatic products and pleasant scenery, and the poet Liu Yazi of the Southern Song Dynasty once left a good sentence here that "the white horse lake with mangrove trees and green mountains, and the two blurred buildings with rain and smoke".

Since it can set up a post station, it shows that it is geographically important, and in the Tang Dynasty, there was a key pass here, stationed the army, one to collect commercial taxes, two to transmit emergency reports, and three to deter the surrounding counties.

The importance of this cannot be overstated.

Duoduo led the main force of nearly 20,000 Qing troops to storm the post pavilion, which is also for this reason.

The post pavilion falls, then the Shangyu portal hole opens, and the Shangyu falls, then to Shaoxing Mansion a horse Pingchuan.

And Fenghui is not on the only way to Shangyu and Shaoxing, and Duoduo divided the division to attack, out of two considerations.

First, they were worried that Fenghuiming's army would go west and cut off their own rear roads, and second, the south of the post pavilion was Linshui (White Horse Lake), where the terrain was not enough to deploy 30,000 troops.

In Duoduo's opinion, against such a small fortress, an army of sixteen thousand is enough!

To Duoduo's surprise, after three days of strong attack, although the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, the post pavilion pass was still firmly in the hands of the Ming army.

Even the southwest, seventy or eighty miles away, could not be easily captured.

As a result, Duoduo suspended the attack, sent someone to apply for the commander of the attack on Fenghui, the commander of the partial division, Bolo, and ordered Bolo to take Fenghui within three days.

And he himself started to rebel against the Ming army in Yiting and say surrender.

Under the Duoduo tent, there are many Han generals.

There are three kings, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, and Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, these three people are called "Sanshun King" because they have a "Shun" word in their titles, and this Shun word is naturally the meaning of Shun.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming rebelled against Houjin in Chongzhen's early years, and the warships, artillery, craftsmen and more than 10,000 troops they brought with them made Huang Taiji, the head of the Jianyu at that time, excitedly go out of the city to greet him, and use the most solemn "hug ceremony" of the Jurchens to treat each other, settle in Tokyo (Liaoyang), and form an army of their own, called "Heavenly Blessing Soldiers".

After the Qing army entered the customs, this "Heavenly Blessing Soldier" also became the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that one of the main reasons why the Ming army in Liaodong lost its strategic initiative against the Qing army in the later period was the artillery and craftsmen that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming gave to the Tartars.

Because at that time, the artillery of the Tartars had completely outperformed the Ming army in terms of quantity and quality.

At this time, Kong Youde, one of the three Shun kings, was leading an army to attack Wenzhou Mansion.

Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun, was leading his army south from Changsha to attack Guangxi.

There is only Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun, left by Duoduo's side, and with Geng Zhongming's qualifications, this rebellion and saying that it cannot be brought down will naturally not be his turn.

This heavy responsibility deservedly fell on the head of Fang Guoan, who had already surrendered to the Qing court.

Early the next morning, Fang Guoan took Huang Degong (the former Shangyu County Commander who absconded, not the martyred Ming Jingguo Gong), and walked to the post pavilion with trepidation.

Zhang Huangyan and Liao Zhongping, who heard the news, appeared on the wall and looked at these two shameless people coldly.

Fang Guoan stood a hundred steps away from the city, and he stopped talking.

Finally mustered up the courage to persuade, "Lord Zhang, now the south of Shaoxing Mansion has been pacified by the Qing Dynasty, Shaoxing Mansion is already embattled, everyone understands that destruction is just a matter of time, why is it so difficult for you to fight against the Qing army?" If the people of Shaoxing Mansion were slaughtered by the Qing army because of this, the crime was great, how could you bear it? If you are willing to lead the army to join Toucheng, with your talent, the title will definitely not be under our national security! ”

Zhang Huangyan shouted on the wall and reprimanded, "You are a prince, you have a heavy army, you can't restore the Central Plains when you advance, you can't protect eastern Zhejiang, but you can't surrender to the enemy, recognize the thief as your father, and come to kill your compatriots for the enemy, what face do you have to see the people of my Shaoxing Mansion!" ”

Scolding this, Zhang Huangyan replied to Huang County's order, "Traitor, as a parent official, you don't think about serving the court, and you don't want to protect the local people, but you secretly collude with foreign enemies and cause trouble...... You have lost the face of your ancestors for eight generations, and you dare to come to me to make noise? ”

Poor Huang County Ling didn't even say a word, and was scolded by Zhang Huangyan all over the place.

The two were scolded by Zhang Huangyan and were so red-faced and speechless that they could only retreat in shame.
