Chapter 391: The Longest Day (7)
After Luo Chengyao finished speaking, there was no sound in the military camp of tens of thousands of people, and the generals from Henan and Shandong, among the generals, heard Luo Chengyao say this, and they were hesitant what to do.
Li Chengdong saw that he was going to be in trouble, and if this situation was not handled well, it would immediately be a big mess, and there would definitely be no fewer casualties at that time. Li Chengdong hurriedly said loudly: "Brothers, don't listen to Luo Chengyao's nonsense, Tong Guonai, the governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has been beaten away by me!" Let's think about how my Lao Li treats everyone! Is it the same! Every time you have a conflict with your brothers in Shaanxi, I'm not against you! Be a man with a conscience! ”
Originally, the generals who had some active intentions heard Li Chengdong say this, and they all thought that the marshal was actually good to the people from Henan, although he was a little tired, but every time he clashed with the Shaanxi people, the marshal still punished the Shaanxi people more.
Luo Chengyao felt bad when he saw that the military heart was won over by Li Chengdong again, and now this critical moment has completely turned his face with Li Chengdong, if the Henan generals do not support him, it is really a place to die. Thinking of this, Luo Chengyao glanced at his henchman, a Henan general.
The general understood, slashed down a Shaanxi general, and shouted: "Don't say anything else, Lao Tzu just wants to kill all you Shaanxi Yankees!" ”
The camp was already at a critical point, and this guy's hand was like a gunpowder pile entering a spark, and it immediately exploded.
The Shaanxi generals saw that the Henan people made the first move, and scolded loudly: "These Henan cubs don't pay attention to faith, kill them all!" ”
As soon as the people of Henan saw the people of Shaanxi starting, they also began to fight back, and for a time there was chaos in the camp.
Li Chengdong saw that this was impossible, sighed and said to the Shaanxi generals: "Let's do it, except for all the people in Shaanxi!" ”
The Shaanxi generals who had obtained the military order were even more fearless, and their numbers were already several times that of the people of Henan and Shandong, and with the 5,000 cavalry brought by Li Chengdong, they immediately pressed the Henan people in the corner of the camp and beat them fiercely.
When Li Chengdong didn't come back just now, the Henan people could still support it, after all, there were still some Shaanxi generals who were more sober-minded, so Luo Chengyao could still hold on. Now Li Chengdong ordered to kill all the Henan and Shandong people, and all the Shaanxi generals immediately led the team to join the group battle.
This battle lasted from noon to dark, Luo Chengyao's more than 10,000 people were all killed, and the remaining more than 1,000 people fled in all directions. The Shaanxi soldiers in the camp also killed sex, and after killing all the Henan people, they began to enter the city to plague Fuzhou City. For a time, the originally quiet city of Fuzhou was full of firelight, screams and shouts of killing.
Originally, Tong Guonai could still suppress Li Chengdong's army when he was there, but now that Tong Guonai has escaped, Yang Dafu took 5,000 people to take revenge on the family of the Han army banner in Beicheng. At first, the targets of the killings could be concentrated on the Manchurians in the northern city, but as more red-eyed soldiers from outside the city entered the city, the massacre slowly began to expand to several other urban districts, and the residents of the city began to flee from the city with their families.
Li Chengdong knew what his subordinates were going to do, but he didn't want to care. Originally, his subordinates were suppressed enough by Tong Guonai, and the murderous aura just now did not leak out, so grab some money.
Li Chengdong looked at the dead corpses all over the ground and cried, he originally had 50,000 horses, but now it's good, half of them have killed each other, and now there are more than 20,000 people left.
Tong Tuchang in the city had already gone out of the city under the escort of Jinyi Guard, and the city was in chaos, Li Yuanyin was afraid that there would be soldiers who killed red-eyed soldiers who would be bad for his family, so he led people to bring Zhu Yu and Li Chengdong's concubines to the camp outside the city. Entering the camp, Tong Tuchang saw that Li Chengdong's people killed half of each other, and he was overjoyed, and his majesty the emperor and his uncle should be satisfied.
Tong Tuchang saw that Li Chengdong was depressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Lord Wang, it's good to kill all these unstable factors, aren't they just soldiers, and when the food in Guangdong arrives, you can pull up a million people!"
Li Chengdong shook his head, the kind of homeless people who have not been in battle can be compared to his own elite soldiers.
"Lord Tong, now that Fuzhou is ours, what do you say should we do next?"
"It's very simple, spread the word to the Quartet, and report the victory to Emperor Shenwu in Guangzhou, saying that Fujian won a big victory, and the whole province belonged to the emperor. There is also the need to add that the prince has led the army north to capture several counties in eastern Zhejiang! ”
Li Chengdong heard Tong Tuchang say this, which can be regarded as a real sight of the shamelessness of civil officials, as soon as Fuzhou was taken, he said that he occupied the whole province, and he also licked his face and said that he occupied several counties in eastern Zhejiang. What do these civil officials think, there are really camels that don't brag.
Although Li Chengdong kills people like hemp, he still has a basic moral bottom line, and this kind of shameless words are really unspeakable.
"Lord Tong, there are still a large number of Manchu remnants in Fuzhou City, I... This king still has to take someone to clean up, and this kind of good news will bother Lord Tong! ”
Listening to Li Chengdong's self-proclaimed transformation, Tong Tuchang smiled and didn't say anything, and said: "Lord Wang, please go and get busy, this kind of copywriting matter has its own subordinate to do it!" ”
Li Chengdong nodded, leaving five hundred guards for Tong Tuchang to avoid the scourge of the Qing Dynasty when the Manchu remnants killed Tong Tuchang. Then he took people into the city and then burned and robbed them, as for whether it was a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was up to the newly appointed king of Jianning County to decide.
Watching Li Chengdong leave, Tong Tuchang sneered in his heart, what is the great thing about these Qiu Ba being able to fight, and they are not being played by themselves.
Although Tong Tuchang's character is shameless and obscene, he still has some ability, he knows that now there is chaos in Fuzhou City, and the officials have basically been killed, and the most important thing today is to issue a notice to calm the people and calm the hearts of more than 500,000 people in Fuzhou City. Next, I have to report to Guangdong, and this kind of thing must be sent to my uncle before Jinyiwei!
Therefore, Tong Tuchang did not dare to delay, and hurriedly wrote a letter of success, ordering someone to send it to Guangdong at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
Now that the city is in chaos, Li Yuanyin found a tent for Tong Tuchang to rest.
Tong Tuchang was lying on the bed in the tent, and the firelight in Fuzhou City could be seen through the tent. Tong Tuchang sighed in his heart: Last night, he was still in the governor's yamen and couldn't sleep repeatedly, but he didn't expect that it was just a day later, and Li Chengdong succeeded anyway. Thinking of yesterday's thrilling day, Tong Tuchang couldn't help but blurt out: "It's really the longest day!" ”
This is a guard outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Is Lord Tong asleep?" ”
"No, what's the matter!"
"My lord, my general sent a concubine to Lord Tong to take care of the adult's daily life!"
Unexpectedly, Li Chengdong thought very carefully, and gave himself a woman.
If you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of it, so since he sent it, he will accept it. Tong Tuchang said: "Let her in!" ”
The curtain was lifted up and a young woman came in, looking very flowery and moon-like, looking full of bookishness, not like a dusty woman.
Could it be the official's daughter? Tong Tuchang was very curious, stepped forward and lifted the woman's lowered chin with his hand, and asked, "Who are you, whose family were you before?" ”
The woman said timidly: "Back to my lord, the slave father was originally the prefect of Fuzhou, and after the Manchurians entered the city, my father hanged himself, and I also returned to Tong Guonai!" ”
Hearing this woman's miserable life experience, Tong Tuchang also sighed very emotionally, if Guangzhou was occupied by the Manchus, his wife and concubine would probably end up like this!
However, Tong Tuchang felt very excited, this feeling of running away from others and robbing other people's women made his forty-year-old heart beat wildly. No wonder Zhu Hongsan, the bastard emperor, likes to lewd * wives and daughters, it turns out to be really exciting.
After a busy day, Tong Tuchang was also very tired, and said, "Okay! Come and serve my lord, and I will sleep in peace! ”
The woman's face turned red and she stepped forward to change Tong Tuchang's clothes.
The next day, Tong Tuchang slept until three o'clock in the morning, and the mental tension of the days was finally relaxed, so he naturally had to make up for it.
Tong Tuchang got up and asked the guards at the door, it turned out that the city was safe, Li Chengdong controlled the army after entering the city, after all, Fuzhou was his own nest in the future, and it was really not good to kill them all, so he let go of his subordinates for a night, and all the soldiers began to go out of the city and return to the camp after dawn.
Hearing that the city was safe, Tong Tuchang nodded, ordered someone to bring him face water, and prepared to enter the city to start work after washing. After all, there are no officials in Fuzhou now, and he has to clean up this mess.
After Tong Tuchang finished grooming, he entered the city under the escort of 200 escorts. He entered through the east gate, and as soon as he entered the city, he saw the scene of the scourge of the soldiers last night.
Several inns next to the city gate were completely burned to the ground, and more than a dozen corpses lay on the street. The inn was still smelling of meat in the smoking wreckage, and Tong Tuchang smelled a bit like the fashionable barbecue in Guangdong. Thinking that this kind of meat smell was emitted by human flesh, Tong Tuchang felt disgusted, got off the horse and lay on the side of the road and vomited wildly. I have seen a lot of this kind of scene for the guards on the side, and the city in the Henan battlefield was not slaughtered cleanly. Seeing Tong Tuchang's appearance, the leader of the escort army hurriedly took out a water bag and handed it to Tong Tuchang.
"My lord, press it with water! These gang killed people and didn't know how to clean them up! ”
Tong Tuchang took a sip of water and felt better, handed the water bag to the leader without speaking, got on the horse and continued to walk.
After passing through those inns, all the shops on Dongcheng Street were looted, although the situation was quite miserable, but there was no smell of barbecue, Tong Tuchang could still persevere. As for the dead man Tong Tuchang, it's not that he hasn't seen it, so he won't make a fool of himself. Wang Xian and the other surviving Jinyi guards also turned pale when they saw the tragic situation in the city, these Jinyi guards have not been through the battle formation except for Wang Xian, and they are good at fighting and torture to extract confessions, but this kind of situation of dead people in the city has not been seen.
Most of these brocade guards are from Huguang, among which most of them are from Wuchang County, and they were protected by Zhu Hongsan when they fled in the past, and they were even more famous people in Guangdong, so they have seen this kind of scene.
When Wang Xian saw the appearance of his subordinates, he felt that he had lost face. scolded: "You guys are really embarrassed to Lao Tzu, what is this, when His Majesty the Emperor and I blocked Jin Shenghuan's cavalry, it was much more disgusting than this, the corpses that were broken by the cannonballs were all over the ground, white, black, green, red, what is this!" ”
