Chapter 300: Tong Yanghe's worries

The sea is tolerant of all rivers, tolerant, and pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, so it has been considered ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, but Wang Yan insists on killing 5,000 and 8 banner soldiers today.

In the army, whether it is He Tengjiao, or Jiang Yueguang and others, they do not approve of his move to kill prisoners, only Dai Zhifan and other generals have excitement on their faces, and Wang Yan is naturally unmoved by the voice of opposition, if he wants to break Wuchang quickly, he must shock the hearts of the people in Wuchang.

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was by relying on brutal massacres that they had frightened a large number of Han people, made the Li people feel frightened, and thus submitted to his rule.

Manchurians are also human beings, and they will be afraid, they will be afraid, so why can't Wang Yan kill the Eight Banners to deter them?

With Wang Yan's order, the five thousand and eight banners were all pushed into the pit, they were terrified, and kept trying to climb up the pit, speaking Manchu that Wang Yan did not understand, begging for mercy from the Ming army.

At this time, after the Ming army array, another group of men and horses came out, but it was a green battalion soldier with braided hair, they were divided into ten teams, each team of nearly 2,000 people, walked to the edge of the big pit, picked up the shovels piled together by the people, and surrounded the big pit to fill in the soil.

Wang Yan asked the 20,000 green battalion soldiers to be responsible for filling the soil, so that they could accept a petition and let them know that the Eight Banners were nothing to fear, and they could also be defeated and slaughtered.

The Green Battalion soldiers waved their shovels at the edge of the pit, threw the soil left over after the construction of the high platform into the pit, and smashed it on the heads of the Eight Banners, causing the soil to slowly pass their knees.

The Eight Banners soldiers in the pit immediately felt the fear of death, but they were bound by ropes and could not escape at all, even if they were lucky enough to climb out of the pit, they would be stabbed down the pit with spears by the Ming soldiers guarding on the side.

For a time, the sound of wailing and despair spread under the city of Wuchang, reaching the ears of the Ming army in the array, and also into the ears of the Qing soldiers in the city, making them feel terrified.

The Buddha said that people have eight sufferings, namely, the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of resentment, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of not asking for it, and the five extracts of suffering.

Death is one of the eight sufferings, it is a problem that everyone will face, the Qing army is not a high-ranking monk, they can't do everything empty, they look down on everything, they are just ordinary people, so in the face of the threat of death, they will also feel fear and fear like the Han people who were slaughtered by them.

In the big pit, the dirt piled higher and higher, and the heads of the Eight Banners were almost all buried in the soil, and their hearts became more and more desperate, but the more they shouted, the tighter the soil became, making them unable to breathe, and finally slowly dying with hideous faces.

The wailing and cries for help of the 5,000 Eight Banners under the city have slowly thinned out as the soil in the pit has been lifted, and finally it has completely quieted down, buried in the soil forever.

At this time, the sun was slanting to the west, and the Ming army under the city had slowly retreated to the camp, and only the people continued to shout the trumpet and pull the cannons up to the high platform.

The Qing soldiers in the city did not come back to their senses from what happened just now, and their minds just kept echoing the words that Wang Yan had said, "Within three days, if the city surrenders, you can avoid death, if you don't surrender, after the city is broken, you will be killed." ”

In the hearts of the Qing generals, or the Wuchang officials, they were more afraid than the soldiers, after all, the soldiers only needed to consider their comfort, while they had to worry about whether their families would also be implicated.

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, in the internal war between the court and the thieves, the struggle between the two sides was not actually brutal, in addition to the fact that the prince of the old Zhu family was basically killed, the people below, in fact, the position changed frequently, and I tried to see that this person was a thief at the beginning, and it didn't take much time to become an official army, and then become a thief, and there were also Ming officials who were recruited by thieves, not a life-and-death war.

In these wars, the success of the king and the defeat of the emperor often did not harm the family, so Wang Yan's vow to kill the three tribes made the Manchu officials particularly shocked.

Every time the Qing soldiers attack the city, they will threaten to slaughter the city, but Wang Yan can't say that after breaking the city, the whole city will be slaughtered, the first Qing soldiers will not care about the lives of the Han people in the city, and secondly, the Han people in the city are also the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and they will lose the hearts of the people if they are killed.

Since Wang Yan can't threaten to slaughter the city, then he can only slaughter the officials of the Qing Dynasty, the families of the officials, and the army of the Qing Dynasty.

For a time, those who entered the Qing court as officials were mostly removed from their families and expelled from their families, and there were many people who severed the relationship between father and son.

It was night, Tong Yanghe was worried about the events of the day, and in the governor's palace, he hesitated, he knew that Wang Yan's actions had shaken the military spirit of the Wuchang defenders.

In fact, by forcing Geng Zhongming to death, slashing Shen Zhixiang alive, and defeating Luck Dehun, Wang Yan had completely crushed the confidence of the Qing soldiers in Huguang, and even in the Qing court far away in Beijing, it was greatly shaken, and there was a voice to negotiate peace with Nanming, but it was suppressed by Dolgon.

Now the three thousand and eight banners in Wuchang have lost their hearts, not to mention the green battalion soldiers who are not very loyal, Tong Yanghe is extremely suspicious, and in less than three days, the green battalion may mutiny, and then arrest him and dedicate him to Wang Yan.

Tong Yanghe's heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and at this moment, Aung Bang Zhangjing Tulai also came to visit the governor with a worried face.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties started the war, basically the Qing attack and defense, the Eight Banners rarely had the experience of being surrounded by the Ming army, Tulai came to find Tong Yanghe, is to find a way to boost the morale of the Eight Banners, and more importantly, to stabilize the green battalion soldiers in the city, otherwise it is impossible to hold Wuchang only by relying on three thousand eight banners.

Tong Yanghe asked his henchmen to welcome Tulai in, and Tulai said with a heavy face: "Governor Tong, just now in the city, Wang Guangen's men clashed with my subordinates, and three people died. ”

Tong Yanghe listened to his words, and his face was suddenly shocked, "Now that the green camp in the city is unstable, since the general killed three people, don't provoke Wang Guangen." ”

Tong Yanghe thought that it was the Eight Banners soldiers who killed the Green Battalion soldiers, after all, this kind of thing had happened before, but Turai shook his head and said: "It was the Mongolian Eight Banners who died, Governor Tong rest assured, I have suppressed this matter, and I did not let the warriors go to the trouble of the Green Battalion." ”

Tong Yanghe's mood was like a roller coaster, the green camp killed the Eight Banners, which was almost unimaginable before, but now it happened, and it just proves the fact that the defenders in the city are already seriously unstable.

At this time, Tong Yanghe couldn't help but secretly rejoice in Turai's calmness, if he hadn't understood the overall situation, and replaced him with other brave and unscrupulous Eight Banner generals, maybe it would have caused a catastrophe. "The general handled it very well this time, the three brothers Wang Guangen have 7,000 soldiers and horses, once a rebellion is launched, you and I will never recover."

Turai nodded, "I know this, defending the city is a big deal now, and when I get through the current difficulties, I will kill the green camp again, just like pinching an ant to death, but at the moment, most of the green camps have the intention of surrendering, and the governor has to think of a way to control the green camp~"

"I also know about this matter, but what to do, there is no countermeasure, and I can't kill all the generals of the green camp!" Tong Yanghe frowned and said, "I don't know if the general has any plans?" ”

Naturally, Turai couldn't come up with a countermeasure, and sighed slightly: "Now in the city, only the three thousand eight banners under my command can be relied on, but if you want the green camp to be as loyal to the Qing Dynasty as the eight banners, I have no way~"

"Loyal to the Qing Dynasty like the Eight Banners?" Tong Yanghe listened to Turai's words, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and then the worry on his face immediately melted, and he said with a look of surprise: "Haha~ I have a solution~"
