Hou Xuanyan cut off Li Shutai's head, and the resistance of the Qing soldiers came to an abrupt end, and the Qing soldiers scattered all over the mountains and deserted. This Qing army was branded with the distinctive mark of Li Shutai, and it was all because of his bravery that he had such a brilliant record. Li Shutai's death was too great a blow to the morale of the army.
This was greatly unexpected by Hou Xuanyan, who wanted to have a fierce battle and a bloody battle to divide the winner and loser, so as to build confidence for the people of Jiangnan. Who knew that this situation would evolve, of course, there was also a benefit, that is, the casualties were greatly reduced.
Hou Xuanyan remembered that there was a saying in later generations, that is, 100,000 pigs, and they couldn't be caught in three days. The words of the head of Chu were confirmed in Xiaotongshan, and after the defeat of the Qing army, they fled in all directions, and it was difficult to catch them at all. The mountains are now mixed with enemies and friends, and even if you use artillery, you can't do anything.
Hou Xuanyan had no choice but to command his subordinates to kill and injure the captured Qing soldiers as much as possible. Hu Bawan's fight was rising, and he had long been away from Hou Xuanyan's personal guards, and after a while, he came out of the mountains and found Hou Xuanyan along the banner of the Chinese army.
Fortunately, Hou Xuanyan had thousands of soldiers around him, and he didn't care about this one and a half, but he saw him carrying a flag and staggering over. Hou Xuanyan wiped the blade, handed it back to the soldiers beside him, turned his head and asked: "What is the use of Lao Tzu raising you, they are all the same as you, I have not become the fragrant gluttony of the Qing soldiers, what are you holding in your hands?" ”
Hu Bawan grinned and said, "Li Shuotai's banner." Unfold it, the white cloth is inlaid with black edges, and the four big words "revenge and shame" are written on it. Hou Xuanyan reached out and grabbed it, pulled it hard, and tore it off the flagpole. Grab the head on the ground, wrap it in this flag, and hand it to him.
Hu Bawan is holding a head, his heart is hairy, killing people on the battlefield is one thing, holding a head is another. He dragged Zhang Yi, who had a scar on his face, handed him his head, and asked, "Dashuai, what are you doing with this thing?" ”
Hou Xuanyan has two lives, both of them are ordinary people such as scholars and students, and people who were afraid of killing a chicken before. After coming here for more than half a year, the first thing I saw was the three slaughters of Jiading. There was hardly a day left that was not a day of fighting, and he was used to blood. Li Shutai is also a fierce general, and in less than three days, he led the troops south and swept through seven counties in three prefectures in Yangzhou Prefecture, which made the people of Jiangnan panic. When I came, I had already let out the word and spread this head all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the counties and counties hung it for a day to reassure the people. ”
Zhu Dadian walked over, sighed and said, "This slave is the first soldier, and only when he is at the forefront of the battle formation can we win the battle." Unfortunately, when his elite men saw that he was dying quickly, they turned around and fled. This is all over the mountains, killed, wounded and captured, and it is not enough for thirty percent. ”
Hou Xuanyan also smiled bitterly and said: "Marching and fighting is the most dangerous thing, if you don't get it right, the three armies will die, and it is a blessing to be able to win, how can it be as good as you want." ”
Zhu Dadian raised his head, raised his hand to shade the sun and looked into the distance, the sporadic battle continued, and opened his mouth to say: "The 150,000 Qing soldiers are already all the soldiers and horses of Huai'an Mansion, but unfortunately there are too many who have escaped, otherwise we can take advantage of the victory to win Huai'an." ”
Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "I received a secret report that Dolgon has mobilized many Mongolian soldiers to enter the customs, and there are many Manchu and Han banner soldiers near Gyeonggi. Although they are now busy enclosing land in Gyeonggi and robbing the people as slaves, if we reach Huai'an, they will inevitably fight with all the strength of the whole country. They can lose, they have nothing in the first place, and they will not lose money if they go back to the gate to dig ginseng or all die. If we lose, the cost will be too great.
Before the battle of Jingxiang, we lost immediately and had nothing, they were strong and strong, and I had no choice but to bet on a big game with them. Nowadays, it's like we're the thriving business owners, they are the poor and rich nouveau riche who are spending their days drinking, and there is no need to bet on them at this time. ”
On the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated, Zhu Dadian listened to Hou Xuanyan's words, and his brows tightened and fell into contemplation.
"The north and south of the state bridge are Tianjie, and my father is old and waiting to drive back. Holding back tears, he asked the messenger: When will the six armies really come? Commander, if it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that the northerners will forget that they are Han. I heard that the Kong family in Shandong, the head of the family, Kong Yanzhi, has all shaved their hair and changed clothes. The Yansheng Mansion is still like this, not to mention the Shengdou Xiaomin, it is easy to shave the hair, but it is difficult to grow it again. If they all forget the beauty of uniforms and etiquette, then they will no longer be considered Han Chinese. ”
Hou Xuanyan sneered: "Yansheng Mansion? Those people the Mongols came and surrendered to the Mongols; The Manchurians came, surrendered to Manchuria, how can there be the slightest sage. A group of mediocre villains, who have no credit to the people, have enjoyed dozens of generations of people's fat and people's anointment in vain. We will not endure Xia Wei's brutality because of Dayu's merits, and the same is true for the Kong family. Sooner or later, he will kill Shandong, and be the first to kill him for the sacrificial flag of the nine clans. ”
When Zhu Dadian heard this, he was shocked, although he did not respect the descendants of Confucius, but after all, that was the spiritual belief of scholars. Hou Xuanyan bluntly said that he wanted to kill, and there was no taboo between his words.
Li Haoxian is from Shandong, and he is deeply poisoned by the Confucian government, not only is he not shocked, but he is eager to try. The Nayan Shenggong Mansion has been sitting in Shandong for so many years, and I don't know how many evil things have been done that have lost their conscience. It owns about one million acres of Qinpai worship fields, Tang Mu fields, study fields, donation fields, private fields and rouge powder fields, etc., occupying the vast rural areas of dozens of counties in Shandong. Under the banner of sacrificing Confucius, the Confucian Mansion squeezed out countless so-called "rents" such as grain, silver money, forced labor, and tribute from this large amount of land every year, for five or seven "holy descendants" and a large group of minions to squander.
The land rent of the Confucian Mansion is known as the "10,000-year rent". This means that the rent of his family is a sacrificial rent and a sacrifice to Confucius, so "the good year will not increase, and the bad year will not decrease", and it will not move for ten thousand years. This regulation seems to be fair, quite in line with the "golden mean", and can be called unique to the Sacred Heart. In fact, "the harvest year does not increase" is only because there is no increase anymore; "The year of apology will not decrease", knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, is its original intention.
After Li Haoxian heard this, he clapped his hands and said: "They bullied men and women in Shandong and killed ordinary people at will, and I have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye." ”
Hou Xuanyan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and determined that there was no longer any victory to expand, although Li Shutai died, his subordinates were not much less than himself. It's not bad to be able to kill so many, so I have to order to collect the corpses of my own people, rescue the wounded soldiers, divide the troops to chase and kill the Qing army, and recover other counties in Yangzhou by the way.
This battle was fought from early morning to evening, Hou Xuanyan was hungry and growled, pulled Li Haoxian and said: "Go to Yangzhou City, eat first, it can be regarded as a celebration." ”
