Chapter 285: Capture Jiangning

Fan Shiyi, who had gray hair, stood on the battle platform with a knife, and the shouts of killing came from afar, but he had become a little trance in front of him, and his body couldn't help but shake slightly, but fortunately, the guards beside him quickly supported him, which prevented him from falling off the platform.

"How's the East Gate?"

The guards on the side didn't really hear it, but someone had already gone to the east to investigate, but there was no reply for a while, but Fan Shiyi's heart was already full of uneasiness, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper.

However, it didn't take long for several guards to roll around, with a little panic on their faces, they pointed to the east gate, with despair in their eyes, which made Fan Shiyi feel a little uneasy.

"Oh no, sir. Wu Cunli surrendered to the enemy, the east gate has been lost, and now the Han army is ...... The Fu Han army has entered the city! ”

Fan Shiyi's heart thumped, and he completely fell into the boundless abyss, his face instantly turned blue and white, and a desperate lament came out of his mouth.

"Wu Cunli mistook me ......."

Listening to the shouting of killing that was getting closer and closer, Fan Shiyi spit out a mouthful of blood fiercely, and the whole person fell directly on the spot.

In fact, Wu Cunli's rebellion is not traceless, at least Fan Shiyi has always underestimated the other party, he forced Wu Cunli and the gentry in Jiangnan to donate money and materials, and now it is reasonable that he has been counterattacked. It's just that in Fan Shiyi's heart, he has always underestimated Wu Cunli's determination.

Seeing that Fan Shiyi, the governor of Liangjiang, fell directly, the other guards also panicked, and they gathered around one by one, for fear that Fan Shiyi would be angry to death, and when the time came, they would have no backbone, and they would have nothing to do.

Fan Shiyi still had some perceptual ability, and he tried to raise his hand, but there was no way at all, so he had to surble in his mouth and spit out a few faint bytes.

"Fast ......."

The guards couldn't understand what Fan Shiyi was saying, so they had to surround the place first and send someone to call the doctor over. At this time, the distance between the Fu Han army and Jiangning City became closer and closer, and the shouts of killing became clearer and clearer.

It's just that seeing that the current general trend has completely collapsed, a few guards quietly took a few steps back, they glanced at each other, and then drew their knives and raided, killing several guards loyal to Fan Shiyi on the spot, and the corpse and blood became the last picture Fan Shiyi saw before he fainted.

A bloodied guard rushed to Fan Shiyi with a knife, and was about to cut off the head of the old thief, but was stopped by one of them, he looked at Fan Shiyi, who had fainted, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Don't cheapen this old thief yet, do you know that this old thief is a descendant of Fan Wencheng, let's hand him over to the Fu Han Army, not only can he not die, maybe there will be a very rich reward!"

The others nodded when they heard this, before the Fu Han army attacked the city, the people of the Fu Han army walked around the city with many small leaflets, which not only contained some relevant policies of the Fu Han army, but also offered rewards to the Qing court officials, such as this Fan Shiyi, who was the governor of Jiangnan, and the reward was as much as 10,000 taels.

Of course, in addition to Fan Shiyi, the price is also clearly marked for other Qing court officials at all levels, these people were powerful and prosperous in the past, but now they have really become a big fat sheep in the eyes of many people, and are coveted by many Qing soldiers.

The news that Fan Shiyi was captured alive by the guards soon spread all over the battlefield, and the Qing soldiers lost their fear when they heard such news, and they didn't want to continue to bear this huge casualty, so they began to flee behind them one by one, and many Qing soldiers directly put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

When a battle is fought like this, everything becomes a joke, the Fu Han army took over the entire Jiangning City little by little, taking over batch after batch of surrendered prisoners, and even many people's bayonets have not yet seen red, this battle has been fought.

The whole city in Jiangning City was crying at this time, and the bannermen locked the thin city gate, but they no longer had the strength to resist, the original so-called Eight Banners Army of more than 10,000 people, but now it has become the first army to lay down its arms, they are different from the Eight Banners from the north, and they can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness. These Eight Banners, who had been comfortable in the south for too long, had already been completely corrupted, and they knelt on the ground, looking at the bayonets of the Fu Han army, and let out a cry of despair.

Among these people, some of them are old men over forty or even fifty years old, they were all under the banner of Jiangning City in the past, and they were all envied by everyone in the city.

It's just that at this time, they knelt on the ground and raised their hands high, which was the surrender posture that the Fu Han army made them make. Only by kneeling and raising their hands can they continue to live, and those who do not want to, or those who cannot do it, are either already dead at the front or are now pierced by bayonets.

After the war, these people, along with the soldiers of the Green Battalion, will be sentenced to hard labor in the coolie camp, some people need to mine, and some people need to build roads, but the difference is that some soldiers of the Green Battalion can still be released after completing their service and become a normal person, while the soldiers of the Eight Banners can only continue to work.

The sun is gradually moving westward, but Jiangning City can basically be concluded to have fallen, which makes Ning Yu quite excited, no matter how to say that there are tens of thousands of troops in Jiangning City, he didn't expect that these tens of thousands of people were like paper paste, and they were broken by the Fu Han army, and they directly took Jiangning in just one battle.

Of course, there are also some other factors in this, such as the offensive strategy that the Fu Han army began to do in the siege of the city, and the governor Fan Shiyi persecuted the gentry of Jiangning City too tightly, so that the internal people turned their backs, and there was the result of Wu Cunli's rebellion. The combination of these reasons has led to the current situation, where everyone does not want to fight, everyone wants to surrender.

Seeing the banner of the Fu Han Army erected on Jiangning City, Cheng Ming, the commander of the Third Division, knelt directly on the ground at once, his eyes were already red, he slapped himself twice, and cried with joy.

"Metropolitan Governor, in this world, we've beaten down half of it!"

"Let's finally wait for this day!"

From the beginning of the 59th year of Kangxi's army, it has been almost two years since the Fu Han army was full, and everyone has been tense in these two years, they can't understand the map, but they also know that only by laying more places, the Fu Han army will not die, and they can always live.

Whether it is coercion and temptation, whether it is a deep understanding of righteousness, or even opportunism, the Fu Han army has developed from more than 1,000 people at the beginning to 100,000 troops across several provinces today, and it only took two years.

All this is like a dream, so that Cheng Ming, the old military leader, can't help but shed tears, Cheng Zhien and Dong Ce also have complicated expressions on their faces, Jiangning City, we finally took it down.

Ning Yu's face was extremely calm, but his hands were trembling slightly, he took a hard breath, and said in a deep voice: "Let's win, quickly send someone back to Wuchang, Jiangning has been conquered, and the follow-up matters are still up to the King of Chu to decide." ”

The so-called decision is naturally about the emperor and the founding of the country. This point Ning Yu cannot surpass, whether it is from the perspective of his son or from the perspective of his courtiers, it is impossible for him to cross Ning Zhongyuan.

Of course, Ning Yu will not worry about his future status, many people think that he Ning Yu wants to be Li Shimin, but in fact, his Ning Yu's status is much higher than Li Shimin, and it is much more stable, so there is no need to be so bloody.

First of all, from the patriarchal point of view, Ning Yu is Ning Zhongyuan's eldest son, and he is also the only son-in-law at present, Ning Zhongyuan's other sons raised outside are all concubines no matter how they are, and they are also quite young, so they can't pose any threat to Ning Yu at all.

Secondly, from the current actual situation, Ning Yu's influence on the army is more than Li Shimin, although the beginning of the battle of Wuchang was fought by Ning Zhongyuan, but at that time Ning Yu himself began to make suggestions, and later fought Huangzhou and Daye, so that he conquered Huguang all the way, took Jiangxi, and the decisive battle of Anqing, all of which were led by Ning Yu to gnaw down.

In this case, most of the middle and high-level of the current Fu Han Army were brought out by Ning Yu, like the previous Eagle Battalion, in the current Fu Han Army, the Old Eagle Battalion has almost occupied important positions in each main division. Even the old Hanyang battalion, which initially followed Ning Zhongyuan, was much weaker in its army.

Because of this, no one in the Fu Han Army dared to question Ning Yu's status, and no one dared to use the slightest crooked brain, because the facts were obvious, even if there was no Wuchang, Ning Yu could turn his head and build another Wuchang now.

Therefore, Ning Yu wisely left these opportunities to be in the limelight to Ning Zhongyuan, which not only will not affect his prestige, but can better establish his position, after all, in this era, the most simple values of the Chinese are loyalty and filial piety.

Because the Fu Han Army was under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, it did not emphasize loyalty. Then filial piety can play a great role and influence at this time, and a violent method like Li Er's will not be adopted by Ning Yu unless he has to.

It's one thing to fight the world, it's another thing to sit in the world. In fact, the current Ning Yu has changed his thinking to sit in the world, after all, the current Qing Dynasty is no longer able to threaten the current Fu Han army in a short period of time, and the other so-called White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yigui can obviously only be in a corner of peace.

After sunset, the gunfire in Jiangning City began to gradually stop, and at this stage, the Fu Han army only needed to clean up the remaining rout in the city to avoid unnecessary casualties to the people.

Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the city and prevent the rout from attacking at night, Ning Yu did not rush into the city, but was still stationed outside the city, and waited until tomorrow after dawn to enter the city.

After all, seeing so many soldiers with flintlock pistols entering the city, the big guy understood in his heart what the situation was, even if he wanted to cause sabotage, he might have to weigh it in his heart. When the common people saw it, they would not resist the arrival of the Han army too much.

Dong Ce rushed over with a look of excitement, followed by a group of soldiers of the Fu Han Army, who were also holding down several ragged Qing soldiers.

"Metropolitan Governor, this is the guards beside Fan Shiyi, they tied up Fan Shiyi and wanted to present it to the Metropolitan Governor." Dong Ce said with a look of disdain on his face, because on the battlefield, the guard's rebellion against the boss was a proper crime of the Nine Clans, and it was also very despised.

Ning Yu didn't have such a concept, after all, there was only one place in this life, and it was normal to think about himself, so he said softly: "Bring Fan Shiyi up and let me take a look." ”

Dong Ce's face was a little weird, "When we saw Fan Shiyi, he had already fainted, so let's just kill him." ”

Ning Yu sneered, "Hmph, it's cheaper to kill him like this now, tell the military doctor that you must save him, and when he comes back to life, Ling Chi will be executed." ”

Hiss.......

Dong Ce gasped, this was the first time he had seen Ning Yu be so ruthless to a person, even if it was for the Eight Banners, it was just to punish them for a lifetime of hard labor, and the previous Green Battalion officers were also absorbed if they could, and those who could not be absorbed were only to do hard labor, and they had never been so ruthless.

"Hmph, it's just the Eight Banners, everyone is just their own master. But these traitors are especially deserved, but it's a pity that Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou and others died early, which is really cheap for them! When I win the Beijing Division in the future, I will definitely dig out Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou and others, and break the bones and ashes! ”

Ning Yu had a murderous aura on his face, what he hated most in the past was not foreign enemies, but internal traitors, there was nothing to say about external enemies, just kill. But for the mole, it is difficult to vent the anger in his heart just by killing.

"Dadu Governor is right, how many years have these people caused my Han family to fall, how many people have died, just let the old thief die, it is really cheap for them, and we will have to settle accounts one by one in the future!"

Dong Ce's face also showed a sense of hatred, when they were in the Eagle Camp, they had already received many educations, and they couldn't understand what these traitors were doing, and their hearts were like a block, which was really unpleasant.

Ning Yu was moved in his heart, he thought that in later generations, Emperor Qianlong once issued an edict to compile the "Biography of the Second Ministers of the King James Kingdom", which is often called "The Biography of the Second Minister", this matter is not very big, but at that time, some Hanchen's face was stripped off, and it can even be said that he directly rode on the faces of those Hanchens and.

The content of this strange book is very simple, all the records are the traitors who came over when Manchuria entered the customs, the book is divided into two parts, A and B, and there are 123 ministers, including 65 civil ministers and 58 military generals. Such as Hong Chengqiu, Li Yongfang, Kong Youde, Wu Liuqi, Feng Quan, Zu Kefa, Shang Kexi, Liu Fangming, Li Guoying, Daniel Zhang, Zhu Shichang, Bao Chengxian, Wang Shixuan, Zu Dashou, Zu Zerun and others are all listed in the first edition.

There are also people like Sun Degong, Ma Guangyuan, Shen Zhixiang, Xie Sheng, Jin Zhijun, Hu Shi'an, Tian Weijia, Shen Weibing, Fang Kezhuang, Liu Hanru, Huang Tu'an, Gao Douguang, Wang Yongji, Wang Duo, Wang Wudang, Zuo Mengeng, Xu Dingguo, Zhao Zhilong, Liang Yungou, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Yingbin, Miao Yantu, Zhang Fengxiang, Wu Weiye, Xia Chengde, Feng Quan, Li Ruolin, Xie Qiguang, Sun Zhiqi and others are all listed in the second series, and it can be said that they are all stinking for thousands of years.

In particular, at that time, Hong Chengchou, who was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was included in it, which added a bit of irony, and even Qianlong criticized these demoted generals in it, claiming that these people "had to be hired to appease people's hearts", but these people "After they were re-established, they only served high-ranking officials and made no achievements." ”

Thinking of this, Ning Yu had an idea in his heart, that is, to compile this "Biography of Erchen" in advance!
