Chapter 764: Jinan (3)
Guarding the south gate of Jinan is Liu Zeqing's old subordinate, Kong Xigui. However, Kong Xigui did not follow Liu Zeqing when he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, but followed the new master to suppress the former master, so after Liu Zeqing was suppressed, Kong Xigui was promoted to the chief soldier of Hebei.
Zilharang ordered Kong Xigui to lead his 6,000 men and horses to guard the south gate, and Kong Xigui was still loyal to his duties, but he didn't sleep at all in the first half of the night, and he had to go up to the city every half an hour to check it. But in the second half of the night, I was really sleepy, so I found a house at the south gate, brought the concubine at home, and slept with me in my arms.
How do you know that when you slept until midnight, the ground shook and threw Kong Xigui from the bed to the ground, Kong Xigui was shocked, what was wrong? Why is there such a tremor?
When Kong Xigui put on his clothes and went out to check, he found that there was smoke and dust outside, and he couldn't see people clearly from more than ten meters away.
"Someone, someone!" Kong Xigui shouted at his own soldiers.
"Master, here!" Hearing Kong Xigui's call, more than a dozen pro-soldiers rushed in outside the door.
"Send a few people to see, what's going on?" The head of the pro-soldier hurriedly selected four people to see what was going on.
After a while, the four people came back and said, "Master, it's not good, the city wall next to the city gate has collapsed, and there is a fifty-meter-wide opening in the air!" ”
What the? That's it! The Ming army is at the West Gate, what if they take advantage of the chaos to rush in?
At this time, Kong Xigui didn't care about any dust, and rushed to the breach of the city wall with his own soldiers.
At this point, Kong Xigui took a breath of cool air, and it was completely over! The city wall collapsed more than 50 meters, and its own soldiers and thousands of people were buried in the rubble, and some of the dead were screaming and groaning.
Kong Xigui raised his nose and sniffed it, in addition to the smell of dust in the air, there was also the smell of gunsmoke, and the loud noise just now must have been gunpowder.
Fuck, that guy is so bold to bury so much gunpowder under his nose?
Just when Kong Xigui was suspicious, hundreds of loud noises suddenly sounded in the dark houses outside the city wall, like firecrackers, and Kong Xigui and the other Qing troops standing in the gap in the city wall were caught off guard and were knocked down. Immediately afterwards, countless figures rushed out of the house, and one by one they rushed over with a strange cry in their mouths.
Rushing to the front, Kong Xigui saw clearly that it was the Ming army that rushed in. Kong Xigui reacted at this time and shouted: "The Ming army has attacked the city, all of them are for Lao Tzu!" ”
After Kong Xigui finished speaking, he pulled out his waist knife and slashed at a Ming soldier in front of him. According to Kong Xigui's martial arts skills, the Ming army could be hacked to death in one stroke, but who knew that the Ming army cooperated closely, the Ming army had a bayonet on the gun, and the Ming army on the side took advantage of the gap to stab hard, poor Kong Xigui was immediately stabbed by a two-foot-long three-edged * stabbing * knife, blood spurted out of the wound like a fountain, Kong Xigui became the first senior general of the Qing army to die in the Battle of Jinan.
Kong Xigui's subordinates saw that the chief soldier was the first to die, and they all shouted and retreated, and the most important advance position in the siege war was easily occupied by the Ming army.
The Ming army that entered the city was experienced, and immediately, under the organization of the grassroots officers, relying on a few artillery pieces brought up, formed a circular defensive position at the gap, waiting for the follow-up troops to enter.
By the time Tong Yangliang arrived with 10,000 reinforcements, it was already fifteen minutes later, and at this time, the Ming army that rushed in had a regiment of more than 3,000 people, and had already occupied the area around the south gate. Tong Yangliang had no choice but to take the Han Eight Banners to the death, and the Battle of Jinan officially began.
After dawn, Zhao Guodong, who received the news, arrived with two other divisions to join the battle, and Tong Yangliang couldn't stop the steel torrent of the Ming army at all, so he had no choice but to retreat to Ximen Street and rely on houses to resist.
At this time, Zilharang had already received the news that the Ming army had entered the city, and he sighed long, he did not agree when he was preparing to enter the customs at Dolgon. The population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was only more than 200,000, so could it rule over hundreds of billions of Han people? The way out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was only in Liaodong, and only by backing the white mountains and black waters could they deal with the Ming Dynasty to the end. However, for the sake of his own selfish interests, Dolgon had to take advantage of the melee in the Central Plains to enter the customs, and he didn't think that it would end up like this.
This time, the 30,000 Manchurian Eight Banners brought by Jierharang, 10,000 were handed over to Yue Le, the loss was in Anshan Lake, 10,000 was in Dongchang Mansion, it seems that there are many auspicious ones, and 10,000 are in their own hands, this is the last male in Manchuria, if these 10,000 people are gone, the rest are women, what can I do when I return to Liaodong? Can it still resist the attack of the Han Chinese?
Thinking of this, Jierharang said to his second son Jidu beside him: "Second brother, you take the last 10,000 people out of the north gate and return to Beijing!" ”
Jidu was the finest son of Zilharang, and his favorite son, who took him with him every time he marched and fought and taught him personally. Now hearing that his father let him escape, Jidu said: "Amma, the son doesn't want to escape, the son is willing to fight to the death with the Ming army to protect Ama in retreating!" ”
Zilharang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, you don't know! Amma will definitely die when he returns, and only when Amma dies can your brother be guaranteed to be safe! ”
What Jierharang said is very right, he knows that the little emperor of Shunzhi is very small-minded, and it is good to say that he won the war, at most he lost his military power and became a rich prince, but if he fails, he must bear all the responsibility, and he will bear the black pot for the emperor, the emperor will always be bright and correct, and the failure of the war must be your fault Jierharang, how can you be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died if you don't kill you?
At this moment, a few Bayalas wearing heavy armor came in from outside the door, knelt down on one knee and said: "Master, the Ming army has attacked outside the yamen, and the minions really can't resist it, so please make plans early!" ”
Jierharang nodded and said to Jidu: "Second brother, you go, remember to go back and tell Your Majesty that this Central Plains is not a place for us to stay, only the white mountains and black waters are the hometown of our Manchurians!" After saying that, Zilharang waved his hand to the white-fanged lamas, and they came up and lifted Jidu out, and escaped through the back door of the political secretary's yamen.
Jierharang came to the yamen with a full uniform, just as the Ming army set up artillery, and a shotgun hit Jierharang, but unfortunately the Prince Zheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty died without a whole body, becoming the second Yellow Belt Prince to die in the hands of the Ming army.
Jierharang died, the Qing army in the city had no leader, and was divided and surrounded by the Ming army, and most of them died in the city of Jinan, except for some who had bad insight and opened the north gate and escaped. Of course, this is not counting the 10,000 Manchurian Eight Banners led by Jidu, but on the way to escape, there are still Ming cavalry led by Li Yuanyin waiting for them in Dezhou, whether they can escape and ascend to heaven depends on Jidu's ability.
After the battle, Zhao Guodong entered the city, and the other two division commanders came to the gate to greet the Admiral, only Jiang Pengju of the second division did not come.
Jiang Pengju is easy to kill, he has committed killing prisoners before, if it weren't for Zhao Guodong to protect him, he would have been demoted to raise pigs, and now seeing that Jiang Pengju didn't come, Zhao Guodong asked: "What about Jiang Blind?" Is it the same old mistake again? ”
The deputy commander of the second division came to Zhao Guodong's side and whispered: "My lord, this time Division Commander Zhao did not kill prisoners, but went to do good things!" ”
Zhao Guodong frowned when he heard this: "Good thing? Will Jiang Blind still do good things? Didn't you stab Lao Tzu that time? Say, what did he do? ”
The deputy division commander had no choice but to say: "Sir, our division commander has taken a fancy to the daughter of a family, and now it is becoming a good thing!" ”
Fuck, what's going on? Isn't it the rape of a people's girl? Jiang is blind, this bastard, has he forgotten how to raise pigs back then?
Zhao Guodong scolded angrily: "Why don't you look at him?" And let him make trouble for Lao Tzu? ”
The deputy division commander couldn't help it when he heard Zhao Guodong say this, Jiang Pengju was the division commander, what could he say?
Zhao Guodong asked, "Where did you go?" Lead the way! The deputy division commander had no choice but to take Zhao Guodong to the gate of a yamen in the city.
Zhao Guodong had attended a study class before, and he still recognized a few words, and saw that there were three big characters of Jinan Mansion written on this yamen.
"Jinan Mansion? Ginger blind in there? ”
After getting a positive answer, Zhao Guodong was so angry that he died, Jiang Blind Jiang Blind, last time you raped the woman and daughter of the county magistrate, and this time you got the woman of the prefect, next time is that? Is it the daughter of the governor's family?
At this moment, Zhao Guodong saw Jiang Peng go out with his trouser belt, and Zhao Guodong stepped forward and scolded: "Are you crazy?" Are you still in this mood at this time? ”
Jiang Pengju had just finished his affair and was on the rise, when he was suddenly kicked down and was about to get up and scold his mother, when he saw that it was Zhao Guodong, he immediately lost his temper. Jiang Pengju was probably the only one who didn't dare to scold Zhao Guodong in the army, and now seeing that the Admiral was angry, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the Admiral!" ”
"Ginger blind, are you crazy? Don't you know how you were punished last time? ”
Jiang Pengju scratched his head and said, "My lord, there's no way!" The subordinates just had such a problem, and the subordinates didn't think about anything, but the Jinan prefect heard that his subordinates were generals of the Ming army, so he hurriedly came out to greet them and invited his subordinates to rest in the house! When his subordinates saw that his two daughters were beautiful, they were moved! ”
Zhao Guodong was shocked when he heard Jiang Pengju say this, this is amazing! The emperor had decreed that as long as he gave up resistance and surrendered to the imperial court, all officials were retained in their original positions. The prefect has surrendered, and has come out to meet you, and has become an official of the imperial court according to the emperor's decree. You also raped someone's daughter, this is going to fall into the ears of those ministers in the court, Jiang Pengju's disaster is coming.
Zhao Guodong pulled Jiang Pengju aside and asked in a low voice, "You dead guy, do you know the emperor's holy decree?" Do you know that if this is not the case, it is the rape of the family members of civil officials, and those ministers in the DPRK and China can let you go? ”
Jiang Pengju realized that things were a little big at this time, and he stayed for a long time and begged: "Big brother, the little brother is in the brain, and he can take care of it at that time!" Please big brother save me! ”
Zhao Guodong thought for a while and asked, "Were there outsiders in the house at that time?" ”
"No, they're all the little brother's own soldiers!"
"That's good, you go down and kill the whole family of the prefect, make it look like suicide, so that they are the families of the criminal officials, and they are not protected by the holy decree, you know?"
