Chapter 74 burns Qin Huai, and the three daughters go to Zhejiang
Nanjing, as the place where Taizu founded the country, one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, since Li Chuang conquered Beijing, it was pinned on by people with lofty ideals as the hope of rejuvenation, but more people just regarded it as a place to steal peace, just over a year, Nanjing was lost in a daze.
The rivers and mountains are still the same, the characters are all different, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the prosperous scenic spots, will not be owned by the Ming Dynasty, so that the people who have China in their hearts are all sad and angry, and all are sad.
At the city gate, Huang Duanbo, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who was more than half a hundred years old, prevented Duoduo from entering the city, and reprimanded Zhao Zhilong and other generations who forgot their ancestors, and then knocked the wall and died.
It is "the northern army to Jinling, Hongguang is at a loss and runs at night; The nobles of the city are soft in their knees, and they are trying their best to see the Yuan Gong. ”
Han Zanzhou, the eunuch appointed by Emperor Sizong in the city, was replaced by Lu Jiude, the eunuch of Bingbi, who was favored by Hongguang, after Hongguang ascended the throne, and gradually moved away from the center of power and could not affect the situation in Nanjing.
According to Zhang Yi's records, when the first emperor, the situation deteriorated, and Nanjing lacked garrison ministers, and Zhao Zhilong wanted to use Zhao Zhilong, and he said: "Stay in the capital fundamentally, I have simply used two people, one is the master of ceremonies Han Zanzhou, this person is loyal and diligent, enough to be the duty of the garrison, one is the military department of Shangshu Shi Kefa, the union has not met, but people argue for their loyalty, and the union also deeply thinks so, now I have to be three, I have no worries!" ”
When the Qing soldiers entered the city, Han Zanzhou's eunuch persuaded him: "When the soldiers from the north are coming, the father-in-law should quickly leave Nanjing and go to Zhejiang to choose the lord to support, in order to revive." ”
Han Zan Zhou said: "The first emperor set up Yu as the eunuch to guard Nanjing, Yu failed to complete the trust of the first emperor, and he was very ashamed. ”
After that, Han Zanzhou dismissed his subordinates in the house, and then hanged himself.
It is "generous Beijing, China and South Korea guarded, left behind to die for the first emperor, and did not forget the grace of the country in danger, who said that the eunuchs were not loyal." ”
The three major ministers of Nanjing appointed by the first emperor, Shi Kefa died first, and now Han Zanzhou is martyred again, both of them are in solidarity with the country, and only Zhao Zhilong descended to the Qing, which is sad!
When the Duoduo soldiers entered Nanjing, they had to go out with the order to let the hundred officials in the city go to meet them, and the sergeants were called according to the roster, and if the officials did not arrive at noon, their wives, sons and daughters were taken prisoner, and the officials were all beheaded.
Liu Chengzhi first attacked Zhao Zhilong, after the Qing soldiers entered the city, he closed his door and did not come out, and the next person informed him of the order of Duoduo, Liu Chengzhi said angrily: "The country has raised soldiers for three hundred years, so there is no loyalty to repay the favor of the dynasty?" ”
The title of the poem is in the wall: "The breath of Zhongshan is impressive; Return to the emperor's side and keep this crown. "Hang yourself.
In the city of Nanjing, there are not a few people such as Huang Duanbo, Han Zanzhou, and Liu Chengzhi, but in general, there are still few ups and downs, and there are many children.
A large number of civil and military generals in the city turned with the wind like fluffy grass, bent down to the ground, and voted for the Qing court.
Woo hoo mourning, the tiger is resting overnight, the river does not know sorrow, and it still flows day and night.
Nandu was founded for a year, both of them fell, and the great rivers and mountains were destroyed in one fell swoop, crying out? Indignant? Breathless? Sigh?
Nanjing City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the tiger is standing on the dragon, the majestic is incomparable, the population is not less than one million, there is a lesson in Yangzhou, Duoduo is always not at ease with the soldiers and civilians in the city, afraid of the appearance of a Wang Yan-like figure, and his heart is very suspicious.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he transferred all the Ming troops who surrendered to Nanjing out of the city, and then expelled all the Han people from the east and north districts of Nanjing, and all the Han people's property and houses were embezzled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The Han people were driven out of the city, and a large number of vacated houses were used by Duoduo to house the Mongol soldiers of Zhen Manchu and Outer Domains who had been transferred from outside the city, and to protect them with an absolute superiority in troops.
When the Qing army completely took control of Nanjing, its murderous and greedy face was once again revealed.
Nanjing City six dynasties ancient capital, the city treasures are innumerable, the Qing soldiers who entered the city began to burn and loot everywhere, but the east and north districts have been occupied by the Qing army, the Ming Dynasty ministers in the city can not rob, the real suffering is still the ordinary people and the rich.
Ten miles of Qin Huai, because of the folk rumors of General Wu and Chen Yuanyuan, Hu Lu outside the Guanhai also heard about it.
In the Meixiang Building, Li Zhenli, Li Xiangjun and Xu Yanyan knew that the Qing soldiers were robbing in the city, and there were even subordinates who reported that a large number of Qing soldiers were pouring towards the Qinhuai River, and they were immediately shocked.
At this time, it was dark, and the three of them took advantage of the night to quietly leave Meixianglou, but they saw that the streets were already in chaos, the Qing soldiers burned and looted, and the refugees fled in all directions.
The three of them followed the refugees and fled along the banks of the Qinhuai River, only to see fires everywhere, and the night sky was reflected in blood red.
They were dragged for a few miles, and when they looked back in the direction of Meixianglou, they found that Meixianglou had also disappeared into a sea of fire.
The three of them looked around, but their minds were blank, not knowing what to do in the future, and where was their safe place.
When Xu Yanyan saw the Qing soldiers entering the city, she thought that Yangzhou had been broken by the Qing army, and her sweetheart, Wang Yan, the hero who guarded the lonely city alone, had been killed.
The more she walked, the more sad she became, and she recalled in her mind that when she was separated from Wang Yan, Wang Yan's heartache choked, "But with Xu Guo, it is difficult for Xu Qing to be!" ”
Now her eldest brother Wang, perhaps as a parting word, has given his life for this country, and she also feels that she has nothing to love.
For a while, Xu Yanyan's heart couldn't help but sink, her mind was blank, and even her feet were weak, her heart seemed to die, and she suddenly fell on the bank of the river.
Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun on the side hurriedly helped her up and called softly, but Xu Yanyan suddenly cried sadly.
When she cried, the second daughter couldn't help but feel sad.
In this troubled world, the country is ruined and the family is not there, and in the face of the murderous and greedy Hulu outside the Guanwai, the ability of the three weak women is so weak that they may not be in the flow of refugees at any time.
The third girl cried softly on the shore, but it happened to attract the attention of a half-centenarian, who inadvertently glanced at the third girl, but found that it was actually an acquaintance in the Meixiang Building.
This old man is the lyricist master Su Kunsheng, who once taught Li Xiangjun to compose and sing lyrics, and also pointed out Xu Yanyan's piano skills, he found the three of them, and hurriedly asked, only to know that the three of them had nowhere to go, so they took them with the flow of fleeing people and ran to Suzhou.
When Xu Yanyan escaped from Nanjing with Su Kunsheng, outside the burning Meixiang Building, Liu Shun led more than a dozen strong men, looking at the rising flames sadly: "Gongzi has been trapped in Yangzhou for two months, I can't save it, now Xu Niangzi is lost again, it will see Gongzi again in the future, how should I explain to Gongzi." ”
In another part of Nanjing City, Hou Fangyu, who had just returned to Nanjing, met the Qing soldiers raging and burning, he was anxiously concerned about Li Xiangjun's safety, and rushed to the Qinhuai River with fire, but saw Meixianglou burning into a flame, and no one who was familiar with it was seen.
