Chapter 75 The general rebelled, and Jingnan died
It is said that Hongguang fled to Huang Degong's camp, and when he heard his words, he regretted it very much.
However, at this time, the people's hearts were gone, and it was difficult to clean up, so Hongguang issued an edict in order to envelop the minister, so he issued an edict, "Zheng Cai, Huang Fei, Fang Guoan, Du Hongyu, Bu Congshan are all Earls of Jin, Ruan Dacheng, Zhu Dadian worship the left and right ministers, and the master will return to Xialuan and return to Nanjing." ”
Before Hongguang's envoy left Wuhu, the news of the fall of Nanjing reached the camp, and the emperor was suddenly struck by lightning and could not afford to fall ill.
The camp in Wuhu also became gloomy because of this unfavorable news, as if it had the air of losing the country.
At this time, Duoduo, who was in Nanjing, saw Hongguang fleeing, so he naturally would not let it go, and he asked where Hongguang had fled? A brazen traitor told him that he had fled to Taiping Mansion.
Soon after Duoduo's soldiers entered Nanjing, they ordered Liu Liangzuobu to act as a guide, and sent Dorobelenikan, the commander of the escort army, Tulai, Gushan Beizi Tunqi and others, to lead half of the Mongolian army to chase after him.
The Qing soldiers had Liu Liangzuo, who was familiar with the terrain, to lead the way, and soon tracked down the whereabouts of Hongguang, they chased to eighty miles outside the Taiping Mansion, and heard that Hongguang returned to Wuhu County, Liu Liangzuo led the Qing soldiers to chase to Wuhu overnight.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Liu Liangzuo had broken Zhang Xianzhong in Huang Degong, and in the first year of Hongguang, Huang Degong and Wang Yan fought against the left army in Chizhou, so he had a deep relationship with Huang Degong.
Because the two had worked together, Liu Liangzuo thought about recruiting Huang Degong for the Qing court, so as to make another great contribution, so he took the initiative to ask for the surrender.
When Liu Liangzuo arrived in Wuhu, he immediately submitted a letter to Huang Degong to persuade him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but Huang Degong ignored it, but his generals Tianxiong and Ma Degong secretly decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty under the lure of Liu Liangzuo's appearance.
Huang Degong did not know that the morale of the army had changed, and after killing the envoy sent by Liu Liangzuo, he led his troops to battle.
More than 40,000 people from Huang Degong's department lined up in front, and Ma Shiying's son, Jin Yiwei's command, commanded Ma Luan to lead 3,000 men and horses behind, and the army set up a formation with the camp on its back, facing Liu Liangzuo's green battalion and Zhen Manzhou, with a total of 60,000 horses.
The two armies faced each other, swords and guns were lined up, the flag covered the sun, and the air of slaughter was all over the sky, Huang Degong was about to make the sergeant beat the drum and march, but Liu Liangzuo in the opposite formation suddenly rode out, saying to the public: "Don't move, I have said." Nanjing has fallen, Jiangnan is not protected, and tens of thousands of horses and horses in the public will not only not be able to protect the Ming Court, but will cause disasters. In the name of the public, if you can return to the Qing Dynasty, the title will be above Liangzuo! Why bother to be buried for the Ming Court? ”
When Huang Degong heard his words, he couldn't help but be furious, and angrily reprimanded Ri: "Who is Liu Liangzuo? There was no merit during the Jiashen period, and it was His Majesty who promoted you, so that you could be crowned an earl and become a minister of a town. The dynasty treats you as heavy as a mountain, Your Majesty named you Guangchangbo, and you have a heavy army, but you don't protect the community, and persuade me to surrender, what face do you have to come to see me? ”
In front of the counting of the army, Huang Degong's angry rebuke made Liu Liangzuo ashamed, and he couldn't help but hide his face and retreat into the formation.
On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of weapons slamming, and the sound of firearms erupting were endless, and countless soldiers fell under the opponent's sword.
Huang Degong had few soldiers, the Qing army was heavy, and the generals in the army were double-minded, and the Ming army gradually fell behind.
The battle began at noon, and when it was close to the moment, the general soldier Huang Fei was first broken by the Mongol soldiers of the outer domain, and the right flank of the Ming army was pierced by the cavalry, and went straight to Huang Degong's camp.
Huang Degong's soldiers and horses were exhausted, there were not many soldiers and horses left in the camp, and Emperor Hongguang was in the camp, if the emperor was lost, the Ming army would immediately fail.
The situation of the Ming army was in crisis, but fortunately, Ma Luan, who was in the rear, led the troops and forced back the Mongolian cavalry with firearms, so as to keep the situation from deteriorating.
In the Ming army, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong saw that the army was already in decline, so they strengthened their hearts to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
If they are defeated by the Qing army and surrendered, they will inevitably not be taken seriously, but if they defect and lay a key blow for the victory of the Qing army, then they will definitely be rewarded, and it is not a problem to increase the rank and rank of knight.
At this time, Huang Degong was leading his troops to fight with the Qing troops, and he didn't know that the two of them were thinking, and when he was about to lead his guards to support the right wing, an arrow suddenly struck, hitting the throat.
For a while, Huang Degong's blood flowed like an infusion, and he fell directly from the warhorse.
When a group of pro-soldiers saw this, they were immediately shocked and hurriedly set up the public service.
At this time, the Ming army was already in danger, if the main general retreated, it would be immediately defeated, Huang Degong was seriously injured, but he was unwilling to retreat, and said that the guards said: "Don't make a noise, don't make the general fall, the general will stand here, then the army is not confused, and it can still fight." ”
Huang Degong thought that it was a flying arrow and shot himself, but he didn't want it to be an arrow shot by Tian Xiong, he saw that an arrow hit Huang Degong, and immediately rejoiced and led his troops to rebel.
The Ming army was already at a disadvantage, but now Tian Xiong and Ma Degong launched a rebellion, defected on the verge of battle, and were immediately defeated by the Qing army.
At this time, the prince was speechless, and the guards wanted to escort him back, but he knew that he was seriously injured and could not escape, and the soldiers and horses under his command were scattered, which made him full of grief and indignation, and his heart was extremely unwilling.
Huang Degong still wants to fight again, but the number of people around him is decreasing, and he is no longer able to return to the sky.
The governor was no longer in charge, and he did not want to fall into the hands of the enemy, so he drew his sword and killed himself.
Later, the wife of the father-in-law, Weng Shiwen, heard the death of the father-in-law, and hanged herself at home.
At the beginning of Hongguang, four towns were set up, Jie died early, Erliu had descended, Huang Degong died, and the five major feudal towns of the Ming Dynasty were lost.
The defeat was like a mountain, with Huang Degong's self-slaughter, the Wuhu Ming army was weak to return to the sky, and the chief soldier Weng Zhiqi was forced into a desperate situation by the Qing army, refused to surrender, and threw himself into the water to die.
It is "Jingnan is loyal and unparalleled; The battlefield is a festival of death, and the annals of history are all gone. ”
Jinyiwei commanded Ma Luan to supervise the battle in the rear, but was disrupted by the defeated soldiers, and the soldiers and horses under his command were also defeated.
The generals of the Huang Department, the dead were numerous, the general soldiers Bu Congshan, Qiu Yue, Yu Yongshou, and Du Hongyu were all captured, and then surrendered. (The names and positions of the author's books are mostly historical figures, except for a very few written by the author himself, all of them are real people and real stories.) )
Hongguang was in the camp, knowing that the Ming army was defeated, so he wanted to flee again, but suddenly two generals rushed into the tent, it was the rebel generals Tian Xiong and Ma Degong.
The two wanted to vote for the Qing court, but it was not enough to fight back, and they needed a great achievement, so they wanted to capture Hongguang alive, and then dedicated it to the Qing court, in exchange for high-ranking officials and glory.
The two broke into the tent and hacked Hongguang's guards to death, and then Tian Xiong carried Hongguang on his back, and Ma Degong held Hongguang's two feet, and Hongguang wept and begged the two.
The two said: "Where my fame is, I can't let you go." ”
The emperor heard it very deeply, biting the flesh of Tian Xiong's neck with his teeth, and the blood stained his clothes.
