Chapter 69: You should report it

In an instant, the war drums passed Dasu's order to the ears of every Eight Banner Army, and the general flag that slowly moved forward with Dasu from behind the formation showed the determination of the commander, and even the Gushan Ezhen Wu Ruyu of the Han Army Banner, as well as the officers at all levels of the Manchurian and Han Army banners below also moved forward.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the implementation of military law was quite strict, and according to the slavery system of the Eight Banners, the master was lost in battle, and the minions below could not be good. Therefore, at this moment, seeing that the officers at all levels, or the masters at all levels below the level of self-mastery, have decided to fight to the death, the minions below naturally have no way to retreat.

The Qing army's side rose suddenly, and even overwhelmed the Ming army's shouting and killing for a while, and the infantry armor of the Manchurian yellow flag Tubai in the front row was stabbed into the lower abdomen by a spear at the same time, and rushed forward with a shout.

is not as good as the Eight Banners soldier in front of him, who is already dying, Tubai's father was not originally the Eight Banners Army when he was an old man, but the fish skin tartar that Huang Taiji caught into the flag when he was alive, and even had a piece of salmon sewn clothes at home. Joining during the all-round rise of the Eight Banners, they did not experience the hardships of the low-level banner people at the end of the Nurhachi era, and after entering the customs, they quickly became rich and hungry through land enclosure and recharge, which made their loyalty to the group of Eight Banners extremely high. At this time, the master has made up his mind to fight to the death, and as a minion, he naturally cannot be left behind.

With a slash, he slashed the barrel of the gun that was being withdrawn, and he rushed straight at the spearman's momentary astonishment. A shot stabbed him, and Toubai shook it with a round shield, followed by another shot, and with a twist of his waist, the spear slashed past his waist. With years of combat experience, Toubai dodged the assassination of three spears in a row, but his steps did not stagnate in the slightest.

In an instant, Tubai had already rushed into the inner circle, and the pikemen in the first two rows of the Ming army could no longer stab him, and all they had to dodge were a few spears behind that had greatly limited their attack angles.

"Rush in, kill the long player, and the rest are long soldiers, and when you enter the inner circle, it's like chopping melons and vegetables. The breaking of the formation will start with me, I am Daqing Baturu! ”

The rapid secretion of adrenaline makes his movements extremely sensitive and ferocious. Wu Yong had reached the extreme, and Thubai felt that he had never reached such a state in his life. He cut off a spear, and in the next second, a big foot wearing iron boots kicked him in the lower abdomen, the force was not small but not enough to kick him to the ground, but at the moment when his body was uncoordinated, a spear stabbed straight and straight towards his chest.

In an instant, the spear was close to the front, and he stabilized his body a little, and then Toubai was an iron bridge, and he forcibly leaned back, watching the spear graze the tip of his nose and pierce the air. However, when he got up again, all he saw was a flash of light, and all his feelings and reactions were completely gone.

This Manchurian warrior's martial arts were so good that he dodged the attacks of several spears in a row, and then broke through. But just when he broke into the inner circle, once the long player he was about to slaughter was about to kill, with the diversification of attack directions, he had to rely on more moves to avoid the Ming army's attack. However, the more moves, the more flaws, and the flaws eventually became the reason why he was killed by the Ming army, who was not necessarily comparable to him in these martial arts and experience, but was better at cooperating.

Cutting off Tubai's head with a single sword, the long player did not swell and move forward alone, but retreated to the front of the line in an orderly manner, continuing to provide close protection for the pikemen of the army.

After a long time, as more and more of the Eight Banners Army, especially those middle and lower-level officers and soldiers, were swallowed up by the dense spear forest of the Ming army, the remaining Eight Banners Army did not regain its martial courage and perseverance, and began to retreat. The three links were puffed up, accompanied by the earth-shattering tiger roar, and the Ming army launched the final harvest. However, this Eight Banners Army rose sharply with the offensive of the Ming army, and soon turned from retreat to rout.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria, since the rise of the Wanli Dynasty, have rarely been defeated, even if it is the battle of Hengyang, it is only a Nikan who died plus a few hundred guards, and it is invincible in the southeast. However, when the shattering sound of the myth of the invincibility of the Manchurian Eight Banners on the southeast battlefield came, it completely stunned everyone on the battlefield on the southern front.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which served as infantry, were unable to form an army, and they all ran towards the war horses behind the battle, in a vain attempt to escape from this Shura field; And those Mongolian Eight Banners, after a moment of disbelief, also began to flee northward; For this scene, the soldiers of the Ming army were not completely untouched, but they still moved forward step by step under the military order, and even defeated the excitement of the seemingly invincible existence, which drove them to launch a more fierce harvest together with those cavalry who rushed out from the flanks and the gap in the formation!

"This ......"

Under Chen Wen's generals, not long ago, the soldiers who were still trying to balance Chen Wen by rebuilding the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain were all stunned and watched all this.

Wang Jiang, Shen Tiaolun, Zou Xiaonan and Jiang Han were not the original members of the Dalanshan Ming Army, or they came with the idea of fighting again for their friends.

However, Huang Zongxi, his younger brother Huang Zongyan and the Wan family brothers, who were also the initiators of the reconstruction of the Dalanshan Ming Army and even the initiators of this cause, were shocked, but there was more fear in their complicated eyes, even more than when they first discovered Dasu.

"Where did Ma Shuai chase over there?"

I asked lightly about the battlefield on the Northern Front, and it seemed that it was just a child's house. In fact, compared to the Eight Banners Army, the Green Battalion in this era is indeed not a very important existence, but it is just a supplement to the Eight Banners Army. Especially if this is a defeated subordinate like Jin Biao and Zhejiang Fubiao, Chen Wen is not worried at all about what tricks Tian Xiong can play - unless the thousands of green battalion soldiers he brought are zombies, it will be useless.

However, Chen Wen's voice made them realize who was in charge here, and one by one, as if they had been pricked by a needle, a spirit retracted his gaze and turned to look at Chen Wen tremblingly.

"Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom, congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom, after this great victory, the Tartars will not dare to look directly at the king again."

Wang Jiang and the others bowed down to congratulate, but Huang Zongxi and the others were a beat slower, and it was not until Wang Jiang said a word that they hurriedly said a congratulatory message, as if they were afraid that this slow response would cause Chen Wen's dissatisfaction.

Huang Zongxi and the others slowed down this beat, and they all saw it in Chen Wen's eyes. He knew exactly what was going on in these people's minds.

Taking Huang Zongxi as an example, when he was young, he appealed and avenged his father Huang Zunsu, and behind the name of filial piety, he also inherited all the characteristics of his father in the Donglin Party.

Chongzhen Chao joined the Fushe and became an active member of it; Hiromitsu and the other members of the Restoration Society jumped up and down; In order to fight against the eunuch Yu Huang, the Lu Jian Dynasty echoed the division of the beggar teacher who went to Japan, and Huang Zongxi spent the first half of his life in the party struggle and resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Kangxi Dynasty, as the world almost arrived, his people also turned to seclusion and became remnants. Although he repeatedly refused to go out, he still sent his son Huang Baijia and his disciple Wan Sitong in the history of cultivation.

When the rebellion of the three feudatories was suppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with the Zhuang Ming History Case, the Luqiao Jiwen Case, the Huang Peidao Poetry Case, the Shen Tianfu Case, the Zhu Fangdan Case, the Dai Mingshi Case and other literary prisons, as well as the expansion of the scale of the imperial examination, the reverence for Cheng Zhu Lixue, and the promotion of the integration of the Manchu and Han Dynasty and other policies to win over Han scholars and doctors, after this series of soft and hard combined use, pull and beat, turned to sing praises for the Qing court.

Unlike thinkers such as Gu Yanwu and Lu Liuliangna, Huang Zongxi touted the Manchu Qing in his later years, but he strongly opposed the monarch in his thoughts and writings. The contradiction shown by such words and deeds, especially through his life experience, can be clearly seen that as a representative of the gentry class in the late Ming Dynasty, the southeast gentry, handicraft owners, mine owners and defenders of maritime interests, the identity and self-positioning of the Donglin Party ran through his life.

And what he did, and even the democratic ideas embodied in his writings, were in fact nothing more than a show for the southeastern gentry and the Donglin Party.

Therefore, when the Manchu Qing began to invite him to serve, he asked his son and disciples to come forward and control them remotely behind his back, taking the opportunity of revising history to whitewash the Donglin Party and slander political opponents; Therefore, when the Manchu Qing began to woo Han scholars and doctors with both soft and hard methods, he turned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, completely ignoring the late season; Therefore, when Chen Wen began to sort out the taxes and touched the illegal interests of the southeastern gentry, Huang Zongxi would use the predecessor of the rebuilding of the Ming Army in Zhejiang to try to balance them!

Through history, Chen Wen can clearly see the nature of the Confucian scholars and doctors in the late Ming Dynasty to bully the weak and fear the hardβ€”in the face of the Ming Dynasty, they opened their teeth and claws to seize the rights of the center and the local place in order to maximize their interests; But when the Manchurian nobles raised their butcher's knives at them, they could only reluctantly kneel and lick these unreasonable slave owners.

The reason why they were afraid of the Manchu Qing was because the Manchus had the Eight Banners known as "Manchu invincible". With this deterrent power that can be used as a needle to fix the sea, the Confucian scholar class did not dare to do anything at all, but it was the group of generals of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion of the Han Army, represented by the three feudatories, who saw the essence of the greatly reduced combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army, raised the flag of rebellion, and the general outbreak of the rebellion of the three feudatories occurred.

Therefore, if you want to fight against the Confucian class, you must first establish a strong enough interest group and have a strong fighting power enough to deter them, but before the interest group is strong enough and the prestige of the fighting power is enough to crush their resistance nerves, rashly intensifying the contradictions can only make your own situation more difficult.

Historically, the Manchus faced the anti-Qing movement throughout the country, so they dared to massacre the southeastern gentry only after the large-scale anti-Qing group could not pose a threat to them. The Manchus understood the truth, and it was impossible for Chen Wen not to understand it. Therefore, he has always been able to tolerate the scholar class a little, but he has always fought those stubborn rebels on the charge of betrayal, so as to further feed the Zhejiang military landlord group that he has built but is still like a baby.

And today, in the battle between the two armies, Chen Wen brought Huang Zongxi's group of men and horses, in order to let them, the representatives of the southeast gentry, see clearly - the Eight Banners of Manchuria are not opponents in front of the Ming army in Zhejiang, let alone you scholars who are powerless!

Strong enough combat power to deter the gentry class in the southeast. And the rescue of Dalanshan is a psychological implication to the gentry class that he is more worthy of relying on than other forces, so as not to completely force them to the Manchu Dynasty. The expressions of Huang Zongxi and the others, Chen Wen was very satisfied, and even the defeat of the Eight Banners Army could not be compared.

In order to pursue the Eight Banners Army, Chen Wen even sent out the guards, and at this moment the pursuing army had not returned, and there were only a few hundred soldiers from the third battalion of Tiantai in his hands, so he simply set up a large camp in Liangnong Town.

"Divide some of the people, let them take advantage of the dawn to pick up all the bones scattered on the lakeside and the place where the battle was fought back then."

"Obedience."

Watching the officer leave the big tent in awe, Huang Zongxi on the table was still a little at a loss, but his younger brother Huang Zongyan and the Wan family brothers were always shouting praises for Chen Wen's martial arts and the strong combat effectiveness of the Zhejiang Ming Army, lest others not know that they were supporters and admirers of Chen Wen.

One after another, almost non-stop chanting poems, the praise of Chen Wen and Chen Wen's army almost submerged the entire Liang Lane Town. However, the three of them shook off all their solutions, and they were stunned to compare Chen Wen's army staff group with Wang Jiang and others, and they really lived up to the name of a talented man.

"A bunch of sycophants who see the wind and rudder the rudder."

The guards at the gate of the big tent did not show the slightest disdain on their faces, but when they glanced at their comrades on the other side, they clearly saw the same thought.

It's just that the disdain of the guards outside the tent has not affected anyone in the tent, Chen Wen's staff is still gathering all the information, and the others are also doing their thing, including Huang Zongyan, Wan Sicheng and Wan Sida, and even the remnants of the eunuch party who never left their mouths before, as if they had never said these words.

"Guogong's battle today is enough to compare with the king of Xining killing the Wuqiao thief Kong Youde."

"Not only that, but it's even better."

"Exactly, the Wuqiao thieves didn't bring the Eight Banners Army of Manchuria and Mongolia."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was still a lot of praise and discussion in the tent, and the victor was naturally qualified, and even the onlookers came together to share in the joy of this victory.

After a long time, the sky had begun to darken, and the messenger sent back by Ma Xin rushed back.

"Tell the marshal, the last general was ordered to lead the three battalions of Tiantai, Huangyan, and Ruian to attack the two battalions of nearly 8,000 green battalions of Tartar and Fubiao, and fought fiercely for three moments, and finally defeated them. At the end of the hour, the third battalion had already entered Yonghe Town, beheading a total of 1,319 people from Wang Dingguo, the deputy general of the left battalion of the Tartar Zhejiang Governor Biao Battalion, Li Bizhong, the deputy general of the right battalion, and Chang Jingong, the deputy general of the Zhejiang Governor Biao Battalion, and captured 4,428 people under Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, and Zhai Quli, the deputy general of the rear battalion. The rest fled in all directions. ”

The promotion and raising of the standard were first-hand witnesses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's suppression of the green camp's reform thinking, which made them even more afraid to change their tactics in the slightest.

It is not difficult to be beaten and defeat them if they are backward, but it is possible to capture so many commanders of the Qing army, although it is a bit unexpected, but it is also reasonable, because between the battlefield of the northern front and the place of departure of the Qing army and Yonghe Town, the inevitable path when fleeing, there are Qingxianling and Xishan stuck on the road, and the terrain narrows sharply, like an urn, and it is difficult to get out.

According to the previous plan, if there were no special circumstances, after defeating the Qing army, the Ming army needed to take advantage of the situation to recover Yuyao and Cixi, so as to cut off Ningshaodao and divide and eat the two prefectures.

The arrangement of the Qing army made it necessary for Chen Wen to know the situation of the pursuit of the Eight Banners Army before he could make a decision. Fortunately, a moment later, Lou Jiye's envoy also rushed back to the camp to report to Chen Wen on the situation on their side.

"Report to the marshal, the last general was ordered to lead some of the soldiers and cavalry guards of Nantang, the second battalion of the flying bear and the iron cavalry battalion to pursue the Eight Banners Army. At two o'clock in the unitary hour, the two battalions were stationed in Tangqiao, beheaded one hundred and thirty-three levels below Wu Ruju, who was inlaid with the red flag of the Han army, and captured 81 people, and the capture was not counted. Most of the rest fled in the direction of Shangyu County. ”

Since many of the Qing troops escaped and grabbed the war horses behind the battle, as long as they could pass through Daxi smoothly, the possibility of successful escape was not small, and it was normal for the beheadings and captures in the pursuit battle to be relatively small, especially compared with the nearly 700 beheadings and more than 1,000 captures on the main battlefield.

After receiving this news, Chen Wen summoned a group of staff officers, roughly estimated the distance on the map, and issued further orders.

In the afternoon of the next day, after a morning of preparations, a large number of bones were collected and buried in a huge pit at the location of the main battlefield of the first battle of Siming Lake in the fourth year of Yongli, and an uncarved tombstone was erected, which was written with the inscription of the heroes of Siming Mountain in the fourth year of Yongli.

After reciting the sacrificial words that Huang Zongxi had rushed to make overnight, all the officers and soldiers of the Commander's Battalion among the captives were lifted up, and they knelt in front of the tombstone with their hands tied. And the swordsmen and axes behind them were waiting for Chen Wen's order.

"Four years ago, I couldn't die here with you, which is really a regret for the rest of my life. Today, four years later, I, Chen Wen, have sacrificed more than 2,600 murderers from Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, and Zhai Quli, the deputy general of the rear camp. I hope that the spirits of the kings in the sky will protect my Zhejiang Wangshi to drive out the Tartars and recover the old land of the Han family! ”

With Chen Wen's slashing and shouting, the knife and axe hands started with the soldiers, and every hundred people were a team to pull up the standard battalion soldiers and behead them. And those officers, stay last.

Back on the makeshift platform, Huang Zongxi, Wang Jiang and other scholars were already extremely pale. Persuasion, they have not done it before, but for Chen Wen, today is not only to make up for the regrets he left back then, but also to seek justice for these martyrs. As for whether the Qing army will fight to the death or something in the future, when the news of the Eighth Banner Army's defeat on the shore of Siming Lake spreads, there is no need to worry about this anymore.

The decapitation continued, glancing at the generals standing on both sides, all of them showed happy looks, but Yu Youming seemed a little anxious.

"Yu Youming, captain of the third squadron of the Iron Cavalry Battalion."

"Humble duty!"

Hearing Chen Wen's call, Yu Youming hurriedly rushed out and fell to his knees at once. In fact, Chen Wen called him back yesterday so that he knew it today. It's just that I didn't hear Chen Wen's call for a moment, and my heart couldn't settle down for a moment, so when I heard the call, I naturally quickly stood up.

"I ask you, do you remember what you said at your father's funeral?"

Hearing Chen Wen's question, Yu Youming's tears splashed out, and then he shouted: "I don't dare to forget my humble duties until I die." ”

"Good." As he spoke, Chen Wen, who was as cold as ice, stretched out his hand and pointed at the group of officers of the Raising Battalion who were waiting to be executed. "Tian Xiong's death sentence is up to you!"

"The last general will obey the order, and the last general will thank the great grace of the country."

In the Ming army of Zhejiang, due to the existence and promotion of the Huaxia Revival Association, officers at all levels have gradually abandoned kneeling, and even Chen Wen has issued an order again, affirming the principle of no kneeling in the army. However, when Chen Wen handed over Tian Xiong's life to Yu Youming, the young rider immediately fell to the ground, his head slammed as if he was about to smash his head on the ground.

None of the generals present felt any difference in this scene, Yu Shizhong was a colleague of them who had fought together, and he had taught many veteran artillerymen, engineers, and staff officers the observation techniques. But a year ago, this colleague died, not on the battlefield as he wished, but in Tian Xiong's "bacteriological warfare".

Yu Youming in front of him is Yu Shizhong's son, this is a well-known thing, and now Chen Wen has given this young rider a chance to avenge his father, and they are only moved and emotional. It's human nature to be rude.

"Stand up!" evoked Yu Youming, who expressed his gratitude with the gift of bowing, Chen Wen then said: "You, go and rip out Tian Xiong's heart for me now." I'd like to see what color this traitor's heart is! ”

"Obedience!"

………………

In May of the eighth year of Yongli, the Zhejiang Ming army returned to the old land of Siming Mountain in order to rescue the revived Ming army of Dalan Mountain. On the ninth day of the first month, after defeating the Dinghai General Battalion in a battle a few days ago, Chen Wenqin, the Duke of Xiuguo, led five battalions including Nantang, Feixiong, Tiantai, Huangyan, and Rui'an, and the Hangzhou Garrison Eight Banners, the Zhejiang Admiral Standard Battalion, and the Zhejiang Governor Standard Battalion, led by Dasu, and the 14,000 troops of the Zhejiang Governor Standard Battalion to fight on the shore of Siming Lake.

In the battle, Wang Shi defeated the Eight Banners Army and the elite of the Zhejiang Green Battalion, beheaded more than 2,000 people, captured more than 6,000 people, and captured nothing. After the war, Chen Wen beheaded more than 2,000 prisoners in the Tibiao Camp on the grounds of the bloody feud in the Battle of Siming Lake, and sacrificed his ambition to fulfill his promise.

The southeast is shaking! (To be continued.) )
