Chapter 394: City Break (First Update, Ask for Support)

Chapter 395 (Content Revised)

Rumble!

In the violent explosion, when Zhou Chenglin was awakened, when he opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the explosion came from, looking at the smoke and dust raised over there, the first thought that came to his mind was "siege".

If it weren't for the siege, there would never have been such a movement.

Almost as soon as this thought came to him, he picked up half a city brick in one hand and rushed towards the Qing army, who didn't seem to figure out what was going on, and as he rushed over, a muffled roar came out of his throat.

"Kill the Tartars, restore the Ming Dynasty!"

This sentence was like a signal, when it burst out of his voice, there was a boiling sound around him, and those who were awakened by the explosion disappeared from yesterday's lamb in an instant, but picked up the shovels and other tools in their hands casually, and hit the Qing army who had not yet come back to their senses.

The heavy city bricks smashed on the head of the Qing army, and directly opened the scoop, and the red and white things suddenly splashed out, just when a Qing army who reacted was about to kill Zhou Chenglin with a gun, Zhao Guozhen, who had already rushed over, knocked the man to the ground with a spade.

"Quick, grab the guy, kill the captive!"

Zhou Chenglin, who had already snatched the knife, shouted while raising his knife to kill the Qing army, and the same scene was staged at the head of the city and everywhere under the city, although the number of people on the head of the city was not as good as the Qing army, and there were no knives and guns in their hands, but their sudden attack still caught the Qing army off guard, so that they didn't have time to stop the Ming army attacking the city, but they hurriedly wanted to suppress the people who had risen, just when the two sides just fought, Li Sixing had already led tens of thousands of horses and horses to rush into the city, Two thousand of them slew the walls on the right and left.

Guangzhou City is broken!

From the tens of thousands of people in the city to the uprising, and then Li Sixing led the troops into Guangzhou, before and after it was just a cup of tea, the Qing army in the city did not even have time to react, and fell into the rush of the people and the Ming army, and even more some Qing troops did not even rush out of the courtyard of the cantonment, they were set on fire by the besieging people with the fire oil and other things defending the city, and were directly buried in the fire.

It's been 10 years!

Ten years ago, it was these Qing soldiers who killed hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou, their fathers, brothers and sons killed them, and their sisters, wives and daughters humiliated them.

For the vast majority of Cantonese people, it has nothing to do with the silver bounty at all, but because they have been patient, waiting, waiting for the day of revenge.

"Kill, kill them all!"

In the crowd, Liu Yat-sen shouted there, he was one of the survivors of the fall of Guangzhou ten years ago, when only seven people hid in the belly of the statue of the Emperor Guan Temple in the urn of the Great South Gate, so that he could not be killed, with a knife in his hand, and only one thought in his mind - to kill all these Tartar soldiers! Avenge the death of his wife and children.

Avenge!

For the vast majority of people in Guangzhou, revenge is their only thought, and they can never forget the scenes of their relatives being killed, their wives and daughters being humiliated, and now is the time for revenge.

"Burn them!"

In the shadow of swords and swords, those local people who spoke Cantonese surrounded the Qing army in a street, and they did not immediately attack, but directly threw burning torches towards nearby houses, and burned the recalcitrant Qing troops by igniting the fire.

One by one the fires were lit in the city, and the screams of the Qing army were endless in the flames, but more were the cheers of the people, this night, it was the carnival of the people of Guangzhou, and this night was also the end of the so-called King of Pingnan.

"Lord Wang, the Ming army has attacked the city......"

When the deafening shouts of killing cities converged towards the Pingnan Royal Mansion from all directions, Shang Kexi's originally seemingly peaceful face would be full of horror.

"The rebellious people in the city colluded with the Ming army and besieged and killed the officers and soldiers everywhere......"

Retribution!

Retribution has finally come!

Listening to the bursts of monstrous shouts and killings, Shang Kexi muttered a little dejectedly.

He closed his eyes and thought of the sins he had committed when he conquered Guangzhou, which was forty miles before and after the city, and more than 600,000 people died. At that time, regardless of men, women, children, inside and outside the city of Guangzhou, they did not say anything but said: Kill! Kill everyone! Snatching everything they could, families were tortured to get out of gold, silver, and bronze before they were killed.

Three years after the Guangzhou massacre, he led the Qing army to capture Chaozhou and Nanxiong, and launched a massacre again, "arson and plunder, more than 100,000 remains", and the people in the two places were slaughtered, and two or three out of ten remained.

Now, retribution has finally come, and this blood debt cannot be made up for by him after a few years of recitation!

Shang Kexi, who looked desperate, listened to the shouts and killings that were getting closer and closer, knowing that once he fell into the hands of the Ming army, he would definitely not die, he struggled to sit up, and then commanded the attendants.

"Take" take out the crown robe given by Emperor Taizong back then and bring it to this king! ”

Soon, the crown robe that he was rewarded by Huang Taiji as a tribute was taken by his subordinates, and under the control of his subordinates, he was neatly dressed for him.

"Father!"

Shang Zhixiao looked at his father, and vaguely guessed what his father wanted to do, and just when he wanted to speak, he only listened to Shang Kexi's instructions.

"Zhixiao, run away, when you are still in a hurry, go north, go to your brother, the emperor will not treat our Shang family badly!"

Later, after giving some instructions to Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi, who was wearing a crown robe, solemnly bowed to the north, choked up and prayed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are subject to the two dynasties (that is, Huang Taiji, Shunzhi) Longen, it is not unimportant, the situation is so far, you can't kill thieves, and you are innocent of death; The soul has knowledge, and it is still the emperor in advance! ”

After finishing speaking, Shang Kexi raised his knife and slashed it in front of his neck, and in the blood splattered, Shi fell to the ground and died.

No one would have thought that Shang Kexi would die like this, not to mention other people, even Li Dingguo was slightly stunned when he learned the news, he originally thought that Shang Kexi would resist to the end, but he didn't expect that Shang Kexi would end his life in such a way as to kill himself.

At noon the next day, when the smoke of gunpowder in the city dissipated, under the maintenance of tens of thousands of Ming troops, the order in the city was already in order again, only the corpses on the ground, and the occasional shouting and killing of the Qing army who tried to escape, reminded people that the battle in the city was not over, although most of the Qing troops in the city had died under the swords, guns and clubs of the people, but there were still some lone Qing troops fleeing in all directions, but this would obviously regret that they did not learn to speak Cantonese dialect, and the people were strong with knives and guns everywhere in the city gate. Whenever someone passes, they will be ordered to say a sentence of Cantonese dialect, or they can't say it or it is not standard, and the knife and gun will attack immediately, although there are inevitably grievances, but for the people of Guangzhou who want to take revenge, they would rather kill the wrong person than let go of a Qing soldier who fled back to the north.

That is, in the revenge of the people, Li Dingguo entered the Pingnan Wangfu under the arch guard of the generals, this magnificent Pingnan Wangfu can be described as extremely luxurious, but in this regard, Li Dingguo did not even care, and when he learned that more than 27 million taels of silver were raised in his silver treasury, he couldn't help but be stunned, so that he couldn't speak for a long time, but the golden light that knelt on the ground and offered the silver cellar of the Pingnan Wangfu immediately explained.

"The king doesn't know that every time the thief leads the army to slaughter the city, his subordinates will torture the people to squeeze out gold, silver and bronze utensils, and fifty percent of the looted soldiers are left in individuals, and the other fifty percent, three are still thieves, and the other two are officials at all levels, and they have killed 700,000 people in Guangzhou alone, and more than 100,000 households have been looted for generations, plus they have looted floating wealth in various places, and now there are so many left, which is also caused by the squandering in the meantime......"

As Shang Kexi's cronies, Jin Guang naturally knows how the Shang family has squandered it over the years, and naturally knows how much silver there was in the silver cellar back then, when he explained it one by one, Li Dingguo's face became more and more difficult to look at, in his opinion, these silvers, without exception, are stained with blood, although they also tortured the rich when they followed Zhang Xianzhong in the past, but they were also limited to the rich, but what about Shang Kexi's silver? but from millions of plunder, and after they robbed the money, they slaughtered all the people.

“…… Blood spattered on the streets, and ants gather to eat. The hungry bird pecked at the intestines and flew up to the north of the city. The north wind is a cow, and the skulls are piled up. Or like a pagoda, or like a mountain. The five elements are exhausted, there is no wisdom and no foolishness, no nobility and no cheapness, and they are all in the same area. ”

In the bottom of his heart, he silently read Wang Minglei's "Sacrifice to the Tomb", thinking of the scene described by him that the heads were piled up as high as hills and pagodas, Li Dingguo's chest immediately surged into his heart, staring at the Shang Kexi corpse on the ground, and said sharply.

"Pass the order, and the Qing soldiers will not be official slaves for their families, and select young women to reward meritorious soldiers, and their family property will not be official ......"

Jin Guang was not surprised by such an ending, he knew that the King of Jin in front of him was a soft-hearted person, he would never kill the Qing soldiers' family members indiscriminately, and even in anger, he did not mention killing the Shang family, and even when someone asked how to dispose of Shang Kexi's body, although he was a little disgusted, it still made people collect his body into the ground.

After everything was settled, and when he ordered someone to reward the people in the city with silver, and to compensate the dead and injured people's families, Li Dingguo naturally thought of the fleet of the loyal and righteous army on the Pearl River, if it was not for their help, how could he take Guangzhou so easily, so after thinking for a while, he instructed his subordinates.

"Well, get out of the silver cellar...... 10 million taels, sent to the fleet, this Guangzhou city is lonely and the king of Huai together, the king of Huai should have this share, as for the favor of the king of Huai, he will be repaid by the lonely ......"
