Chapter 224 [Shaving Your Hair and Surrendering]
At this moment, outside the city of Guangning Zhongqian Imperial Palace, a large number of Manchu cavalry wearing cotton armor appeared, led by the Manchu Heshuo Zheng Prince: Aixin Jueluo Zierharang, he glanced at the empty garrison of the city and the few patrols, and moved to appease.
He personally wrote a letter to the herald to send to the main general of the city defender, Li Fuming, who was the deputy of the Ming Guangning Central Reserve, so that he could know the times and surrender to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible.
After receiving the letter, the deputy thousand households in the Ming Guangning Middle School in the city opened it and saw that it was written: "If the deputy thousand households can lead the people to surrender the city, then the wealth and property can be preserved, and they will always enjoy the wealth and wealth, otherwise they will regret their own mistakes, and what good will it be!" I hope that the deputy Qianhu will answer quickly. ”
Of course, it is impossible for him, who wants to be a loyal vassal, to surrender to the Eastern Tatars! Moreover, General Wu had just borrowed troops before, and now there are Eastern captives who have come to the city to prevent fraud? He didn't dare to open the city and surrender easily, after all, it was outside the Shanhaiwei Pass in front of him, and in addition to the post station, he could almost let the cavalry directly come to the city, so the gate of the city gate of the Qianhu Reserve in Guangning must not be opened!
But how to reply to the Eastern Tartars now? It was a troublesome question, and he didn't want to be associated with the barbarians.
At this time, the Ming Guangning Central Reserve Imperial Small Banner beside him: Yuan Shangren, the Ming Guangning Central Reserve Imperial Hundred Households: Han Jinchen, suggested, "Deputy Qianhu Lord, the Thousand Households Lord is not here at the moment, you are the supreme commander, your words represent all the brothers, why don't we pretend to surrender to Dongyu Jiannu, and arrange the fort to lure them to open fire and bombard at the entry point of fire, what do you think?" ”
Thinking that this plan was very good, he decided to try it, so he replied to the letter and asked the Dongyu Tartars to approach within 500 meters of the city, and the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Imperial Banner who saw the opportunity was holding a torch and sinister and sly!
At first, the Eastern Tartars slowly approached the city according to the plan, but when they reached almost 600 meters, some of the Eastern Tartars turned around?
The Ming soldiers who defended the city, who felt that something was wrong, looked at the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Imperial Xiaoqi and asked, "Lord Yuan Xiaoqi, do we still want to open fire?" ”
They didn't dare to light the fire easily without figuring out the movement for the time being, but asked the soldiers to take out their monoculars to observe the enemy's situation, and the Eastern Tartars seemed to be discussing something. A Manchu general in blue cotton armor pointed at his subordinates.
Then I saw five Linchong Lu buses pushed up from the rear, as well as three red-clothed cannons and two small general cannons, placed in front of the Chinese army array with blue flags, and the Manchu and Shuo Zheng princes waved their hands to signal the Manchu archers and Manchu Baturu and Manchurian Pashuo Ku (antlers) to fight, and the front line of the formation took the archery team as the starting point and launched an attack under the cover of the cavalry of the two banners.
Frightened, the Ming army on the top of the city tower panicked! They hurriedly loaded their ammunition and fired their guns, but most of the lead bullets were crooked, and a small amount of lead bullets were fired at the enemy, killing several Eastern Tatar infantrymen.
The Manchu Bashuoku, who was charging in the front, pushed the Linchong Lu bus to the city and leaned on the edge of the city wall, letting wave after wave of Manchu Baturu rush up, and while walking, he took out the "recurve compound bow" on his waist When he was only five steps away from the Ming army above the city tower, he quickly pulled out the "arrow" behind him and glanced at it roughly, and then let go of the bow and pierced the black iron chain mail on the chest of the transparent army.
As there are more and more Tartars in the east of the city, the Ming Guangning Central Reserve Imperial Banner who guards the city is a little unbearable! Directly instructed the soldiers to use rolling oil, rolling stones, rolling wood, and 10,000 enemies to repel the Eastern Capture and Jiannu.
However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Prince Shuo Zheng under the city had already prepared him, and the reason why he let the cavalry go to the back city to block the exit was to make a detour, but he happened to see a Ming army coming out?
The cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the blue flag did not hesitate to attack the Ming army on horseback and archery, and even pounced on it with meteor hammers, maces, xuanhua axes, and steel forks.
But he was killed by the cavalry of the two banners who rushed over like mowing grass and killed under the hooves of the horses! Only the generals wearing chain mail and phoenix-winged helmets knelt down and begged for mercy: "Ladies and gentlemen, spare your lives!" Spare your life! I am the deputy thousand households of the middle front office, this is the waist card, please take a look. ”
The Dongyu soldier who took the waist card looked at it and confirmed that it was the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Deputy Qianhu, so he took him to the main gate.
And the battle on the side of the main gate was in full swing, Ming Guangning Zhongqian prepared a small flag on the side to use the five thunder god guns to shoot at the place where many people landed in the city, but the soldiers behind him ran over and reported, "Lord Qiqi Xiaoqi, the deputy Qianhu has escaped from the back city, do you think you want to evacuate?" ”
When he learned about this, he was furious! Putting down the five thunder gods, he pulled out his saber and hacked a Dongyu soldier to death on the spot, and said, "I, Yuan, would rather die than retreat!" ”
After speaking, it happened that the Manchu artillery battalion outside the city lit the fuse, and a red-clothed shell was impartial, and it landed on the city and hit the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Imperial Banner, and the shrapnel of the explosion penetrated the armor and pierced deep into the flesh, causing him to fall to the ground and die on the spot!
In this way, the city tower of Guangning Zhongqian Yu Qianhu lost the generals who defended the city, and was soon occupied by the Dongyu soldiers, and the Manchu Qing and Shuo Zheng princes who entered the city also learned from the surrendered Ming Guangning Zhongqian Yu Deputy Qianhu that the three brothers of the Wu family had all withdrawn their troops to the north, and there were also some troops in the Shanhaiwei Pass to chase them, according to the explanation, most of them were the Central Plains Liukou army, and a few were the Xiangyong Army and the surrendered Ming army.
So at this moment, Prince Zheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was happy, and he directly said, "Jurchen language: the whole army obeys the order, except for the heavy food, all other things should be discarded!" All his strength has been gone, and the king immediately rushed to the Acropolis of the mountains and seas. ”
Facing the Liaodong Metropolitan Si Guanning Iron Cavalry who had been loyal to the court of the Ming Empire, they were like fierce beasts and shot at them, and they were surprised to see the vassal kings and Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, who were escorted up in front of the Liukou array!
Prince Xian of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Chuanqi, King of Ming Jiyang County under the feudal system: Zhu Tingcheng, directly scolded, "Okay, you Wu Sangui!" His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has just died! You didn't even care about the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and personally led the army to rush over! Aren't you afraid of disturbing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How can the widow spare you, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send you a whereabout. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ming, who reacted on the side, was very disappointed! He didn't expect Wu Sangui to lead the army to rush over like this, and he didn't care about the safety of his life at all, even the secretary of the Dashun Military Department who was present: Wang Jiazhu, also felt that Wu Sangui was too unkind!
But the Dashun Iron Cavalry had already had a way to deal with it, and still used a tripping horse rope and a meteor hammer to beat the Guanning Iron Cavalry that rushed up, and after being knocked off the horse, he let the Shun Army's long knife hand cut off the body and split the body, so that the Guanning Iron Cavalry who charged in several ways had no record.
It's just a matter of firing three buckshot shots with a three-eyed gun in melee combat! You have to raise your gun and beat the rogue or use a lancet to cut down the enemy.
But the unexpected happened! A Wu army guarding the northern wing of the city actually surrendered to the Dashun army? This exposed the flank of the commander of the Ming Guangning Qiantun Guard, causing Da Shun Zehou to lead the army to Dongluo City to kill, making the Ming army of the Guangning Qiantun Guard, who was already fighting alone in the encirclement, in a state of being attacked on their backs.
In the melee, the commander of the Ming Guangning Qiantun guard raised his sword and fought bravely to kill the enemy, but there were too many Liukou soldiers! Some of his soldiers can't hold on! He ran to report to the commander of the former guard of Ming Guangning, and asked him to talk to the chief soldier of Ning Yuanwei, and transfer the Guanning Iron Cavalry to fight the enemy together.
He had no choice but to let go of his identity and send someone to inform his second brother Ming Ning Yuanwei to transfer some Guan Ning Iron Cavalry over.
However, when the general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei learned of the seriousness of this matter, he felt that if he went to defend Dongluo City now, then a stone battlefield in front of him would definitely be broken, and the three brothers would all die here at that time! Rather than this, it is better to let the Eastern Tartars send troops to rescue.
It's just that it's easy to shave!
Moreover, the Qing court still reuses the surrenderers, his teacher Qianming Jiliao Governor: Hong Chengchou, his uncle Qianming Guangning Zhongtun Guard: Zu Dashou, and others have all been surrendered, and now he has little room to choose, and time is still very limited.
Now it can be said that there is no bargaining weight in his hand, and the general soldier of the Mingning Yuanwei, who is hovering on the death line, finally made up his mind not to hesitate, he directly led a hundred Guanning iron cavalry to run towards the Qing army camp in the rear.
Here is sitting in front of the regent of the Manchu imperial father who is watching the battle on the base camp of Weiyuantai in Huanxiling, and suddenly there is an urgent report? A Manchu Qing Zheng White Flag herald ran over and reported: "Jurchen language: Qiqi Imperial Father, His Royal Highness the Regent, there is a general outside the camp who claims to be the general of the Ming Ning Yuan Guard, who wants to meet you?" ”
As soon as I heard that it was the general soldier of the Daming Ning Yuanwei who asked to see him? Excited, the regent of the Manchu emperor hurriedly got up and waved him in, and asked the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids to drag off the armor on their bodies, and helped themselves change into a black round-necked complement "python robe" embroidered with an eight-clawed python pattern, and looked like a king when wearing the "Xia Dynasty crown".
The general soldier of the Mingning Yuanwei who was announced to the tent of the Chinese army was stopped in front of the tent! The Manchu soldiers with white flags standing guard on the left and right told them to hand over their weapons and take off their helmets before entering.
This made General Ming Ning Yuanwei angry on the spot and said, "Lord Commander, let's withdraw!" Don't ask the Qing court! These Dongyu Jiannu Tartars are too deceitful, I don't believe that with our strength, we can't fight with the rogues? ”
However, holding back his anger and letting go of his identity, he agreed to take off his helmet and hand over his saber, and walked into the account alone to "salute" to the regent of the Manchu emperor's father, who was drinking wine and eating meat, and said, "The general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei: Wu Sangui, I implore His Royal Highness the regent of the Qing Dynasty to send troops to cooperate with our army to fight, and to avenge the dead Ming Emperor by retreating from the Central Plains!" ”
However, the self-righteous regent of the Manchu emperor did not think so, he felt that Wu Sangui was not qualified to negotiate terms with him at the moment, but was ready to ask him to shave his hair and surrender.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the Manchu Han University Bachelor: Hong Chengchou, broke into the account and saluted, the Manchu Han University Bachelor looked at the general wearing waist-length armor on the ground with surprised eyes, and shouted, "Uncle, is it you?" I just heard from the soldiers that Ning Tieqi came to the army, but I didn't expect you to come! ”
After speaking, the Manchu Han scholar hugged the general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei, patted him on the back excitedly, and asked, "How have you been doing all these years?" Your eldest uncle and second uncle have been waiting for your return day and night, and they have been waiting for you for almost three years! I've finally got you here. ”
A little embarrassed, he looked at the teacher in front of him who was wearing a flower-feathered cool hat and a round-necked official uniform, and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that since Songguang would fight a farewell, you and I would actually meet here." ”
The Manchu imperial father regent who was sitting on the seat clapped his hands and stood up happily, asked people to prepare a banquet and talk while eating, and ordered his subordinates to prepare hot water and razors, and said to the general soldiers of the Ming Ning Yuanwei, "Since, Lord Wu Zongbing intends to come, it must be to return to the Qing Dynasty?" Why don't you do the surrender ceremony first? ”
