Chapter 840: There is a meaty smell

Chen Mingxia understands Gao Yihuan's mind very well, which is why he spoils Chen Mingxia.

The traditional Chinese virtue is modesty, many things, Gao Yihuan is not good to mention by himself, he only needs to hint at it, Chen Mingxia can understand what he means.

This made Gao Yihuan realize why many emperors, knowing that some courtiers were not good things, still wanted to reuse them, because they were really comfortable to use and could do well what the emperor wanted.

The emperor is also a human being, and he also has selfish desires, and there are some things that upright ministers can't do, they will only open their mouths and scold you, so the emperor needs these people around him.

Chongzhen's biggest tragedy is that no one wants to be his courtier, and no one wants to maintain a tacit understanding with him.

Gao Yihuan glanced at Chen Mingxia approvingly, then smiled and waved, "Okay, sir, let's go down and do it!" The credit of Mr. Lone King also remembered it. ”

After Chen Mingxia left, Gao Yihuan returned to the table, took the pen and wrote a letter of surrender to Taiyuan City, and asked people to copy a few copies and shoot into the city.

Regarding the conditions for surrender, Gao Yihuan thought twice and decided to let the city be full of soldiers, and add Azig a way to live, to ensure their safety, and not to punish them too heavily.

This is to prepare for the future attack on Beijing, if the killing is too ruthless, the Qing army in Beijing will be frightened to run outside the pass, or to defend Beijing, which is not what Gao Yihuan wants to see.

After dealing with these few things, Gao Yihuan stood alone in front of the map, falling into deep thought, thinking about how to avoid fighting on two fronts and not repeat the mistakes of Chongzhen and Li Zicheng.

Gao Yihuan stared at Beijing, his eyes were full of desire, taking this place was when he became emperor, but how could he not be Li Zicheng's second?

Earlier, Huang Taiji and Li Zicheng's tacit cooperation brought down the old Zhu family, if he entered Beijing, Dolgon, Haoge and Zhu Cihong would inevitably not use the same tricks to torture Dawei.

Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, how can he capture Beijing and annihilate the rest of Dolgon's men and horses in the pass?

In the city of Taiyuan, a team of white-armored soldiers surrounded the two squares in the east of the city, and the Eight Banners rushed into it, rudely slammed open the doors of the houses, and took away the skinny people inside.

Azig was dressed in armor and riding on a horse, his face was full of gloom, and Rokoduo on the side was full of melancholy, he did not eat raw meat, let alone human flesh.

Previously, it was said that when the Qing army surrounded the Daling River and besieged Jinzhou, the Ming army in a desperate situation had eaten human flesh, and he didn't expect that he would have this day.

In fact, if the original trajectory is followed, when Li Dingguo launched the Battle of Xinhui, the Qing army defending the city also ate human flesh.

"In 1654, Xinhui County was besieged, the food in the city was exhausted, and the guards slaughtered the people for food. If there is Mo's family, the wife of Lin Yingyu, the aunt will cook, don't ask Yu Bing to say: 'Gu Lao, the meat is not edible, the concubine is fortunate to be creamy, and it can be used for the king to chew also.'" 'If the soldiers obey it, they will be released, and Mo will die. If there is a Li family, the soldier wants to eat his husband, and he cries and worships: 'My husband has no children in fifty, please eat me.' 'Kill him, return his head to his husband, and bury him.' There is a woman of the Liang family, her father is a scholar of Humility, and the girl is eleven years old, please die on behalf of her father, and the soldiers can't bear to kill. The female soldier said, 'Your daughter is too small to be full?' He will take the sword and kill himself, and the soldier will kill him. Zhusheng Wu Shi let his wife Huang and his husband die, and the soldiers cried and killed him. It is for the four filial piety martyrs of the new meeting. ”

From this record, it can be seen that the Qing army cannibalized people, but it can also be seen that as early as then, there was no hope of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and the vast majority of Han people had completely succumbed to the butcher's knife.

The whole nation has degenerated to such an extent that it can be said that there is no hope and has been reduced to a real minion.

Therefore, even if there are Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Huangyan, these unyielding backbones are struggling to fight, but the general trend is gone, and most people have already succumbed, and in their eyes, the struggle is not a good thing, but a thing that may cause them to lose their heads, because the Qing army has an order to help the righteous army is to kill the head, and not to kill one person's head, but to slaughter the whole city.

They have completely succumbed to the intimidation of the Qing army, and even if their relatives are eaten, they can't have the heart to resist, no matter how hard Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan try, it will be useless.

At this time, this will not happen in Xinhui, but Taiyuan will face such a test.

At the time of the new meeting, the general trend of the world was relatively clear, and the defenders in the city, including the people who had been eaten, felt that the Qing army reinforcements would come sooner or later.

Back then, the Ming army gritted its teeth and held on to the Daling River, and it also felt that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to rescue, but now that it is holding on to Taiyuan, can the Qing Dynasty still have soldiers to rescue?

Rocodo had this doubt in his heart, but he did not dare to ask Azig.

At this time, Azig looked at the scene in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The Wei thief is showing off his martial arts outside the city, and the military spirit in the city will inevitably be unstable. After these two squares were vacated, all the dependents of the green camp and the Han officials and generals in Hedong were concentrated here, and the bannermen were sent to guard them. The generals of the green battalion, all the unreliable ones are not used, and they are replaced with Han flags to lead. In addition, in the city, we must reserve more supplies, in case the outer city is broken, we will retreat into the city to continue to hold on, waiting for the imperial court to come to help again. ”

When Azig saw the banners, armor, and hordes of prisoners captured by the Wei army outside the city, he already knew in his heart that there could be no more reinforcements.

How many troops the Qing army has, how many people there are in the Eight Banners, as the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, Azig can calculate it with his fingers.

Looking at the capture of the Wei army, Azig knew that the Great Qing Kingdom was in danger, and what he could do was to hold on to Taiyuan and delay time, as long as there was the nail in Taiyuan, he could buy time for Dolgon to regroup.

"Wow!" Rocodo nodded hurriedly, "Lord Wang, will the regent really send reinforcements again?" He was worried that Taiyuan would be the Daling River, and even if he ate human flesh, he would still fall in the end.

Azig's sharp gaze glared at him, and he was about to reprimand when a full general came over with a horse, "Lord Wang, the letter of persuasion shot in from outside the city." ”

Azig turned his head when he heard this, took the letter, unfolded it, looked at it, sneered, and crumpled it together, "Gao Manzi wants to recruit this king, it's a fool's dream!" He was about to tear up the letter, when he suddenly said: "Shoot a letter to reply to Gao Manzi, saying that this king needs time to think about it." ”

At dusk, on the city wall of Taiyuan, the soldiers were listless and leaning against the city.

At this time, a soldier's nose suddenly moved, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "There is a smell of meat!" ”

The soldiers leaning on the city wall also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but stand up one after another.

The Qing army was trapped for four months, from three meals a day at the beginning, then two meals a day, and now they can only drink porridge, and the soldiers have not eaten a full meal for several months, let alone meat.

At this time, a few fireheads picked up a frame of meatloaf in the city, and the Qing soldiers suddenly had their eyes shining, and they couldn't think about how there would be meat to eat, so the green battalion soldiers rushed up, and the eight flags on the side took two steps back, as if they saw something terrifying.
