Chapter 70 Ming and Viet

The action of killing the prisoners of the Tibiao Camp to pay tribute to the martyrs of the First World War of Siming Lake not only frightened Huang Zongxi and others, but also made the remaining prisoners from the Eight Banners Army and the Fubiao Camp in the prisoner camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The prisoners of the Eight Banners Army were mainly the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and there were very few Eight Banners in Manchuria and Mongolia. The Eight Banners of Manchuria knew that they were deeply guilty, and they had long had a deep hatred with the Han people, and often fought to the death even if there was no reason to escape, and those who were captured were basically dropped into the stream and fished up when they fled; The Mongolian Eight Banners, all of which were cavalry, made it easier to escape, and there were naturally very few captured by the Ming army.

The captives of the Tibiao camp were still being executed in Lish, and the captives in the camp became more and more panicked as time passed.

"After killing the people in the Raising Battalion, is it our turn, I heard that the Duke of Xiu Guo killed all the Raising Battalion back then."

"Don't talk nonsense, this is not Yiwu. Those bastards don't do good things in Yiwu, so naturally they can't escape death, we haven't done anything along the way, and it won't be our turn. ”

"Yes, yes. We didn't come here four years ago, didn't Xiu Guogong have a coolie camp in his old man's house, we have strength, and being a coolie is better than losing our lives. ”

"Amitabha, Amitabha. I hope so, I hope so. ”

A group of prisoners from the Fubiao camp gathered together and whispered, and they had already regarded those Eight Banners as if they were dead, especially those of the Manchurian Eight Banners, who were bound to die. At least no one has heard that the Ming army captured the Eight Banners of Manchuria and would spare them a life.

Realizing that even if it was death, it would not be their turn to take the lead, and the tension of the prisoners in the Fubiao camp was slightly relieved. However, often at this time, there will always be some guys with crow's beaks who say something out of place.

"Oops, it's broken. It is true that we made up from the calibration and a few green battalions. But some of them were transferred in from the camp. ”

What the Fubiao battalion soldier said was Xu Lei's subordinates who had a garrison of nearly 200 people, and they were indeed transferred from the standard camp, and even because they were transferred to the Fubiao camp, this has long been a well-known thing.

As soon as they reacted to this, the captives of the Fubiao camp immediately distanced themselves from them at an unimaginable speed as if they were avoiding the plague, for fear of being affected by these mortal people.

I don't know how long it has been, but the faint cries have become more and more indistinct, probably when it has entered the final stage, and the execution of those officers has been. But at this moment, as the crow's mouth expected, Ming Jun really knew that there was such a thing, and remembered it in time.

Seeing that those who were going to die were taken out of the camp where the Fubiao camp was held, a prisoner dared to ask the guard, and after receiving the answer "You can follow if you want to die", the captives of the Fubiao camp immediately felt like they had been pardoned. For a time, the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, the Lao Jun, the lifeless mother, the Monkey King, the Pure Altar Messenger and other immortals all became the objects of their gratitude, probably just now they had made some wishes to these immortals.

At this time, Xu Lei's subordinates, after being taken to a remote place by the Ming army, after being screened by several military judges and prison officers, quickly picked out Liu Da, the confidant officer who had followed Xu Lei for the longest time and was the most trustworthy, and took him aside.

"Let me ask you, your family guards Xu Lei, can you see that he is not in the formation?"

"No, no, the villain watched him run first."

Since the pursuit battle in the fourth year of Yongli was defeated by Chen Wen, who was only a few hundred soldiers at the time, Liu Da quickly gained Xu Lei's trust and became a confidant officer, and has been promoted in the past few years, and is now the chief officer of the Ministry of War. Even if it weren't for Xu Lei's career that suffered that setback, I am afraid that he might not be able to be the president.

In yesterday's battle, Liu Da clearly saw how Xu Lei escaped, almost at the moment when the army collapsed, he turned his horse's head and fled, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away. And he, in fact, the moment he found out that Xu Lei had escaped, he also turned his horse's head and fled, who would have thought that the stupid war horse under his crotch actually collided with the war horse next to him and threw him down, otherwise how could he, who was used to getting out of the battlefield back then, be captured by the Ming army so easily, and stay here to be afraid.

"Then let me ask you, Xu Xin, the former deputy general of the Tibiao Battalion, is your own uncle who is guarding the house, did you see that he was not in the formation?"

"Back to the general, the villain is from the Fubiao battalion, over there, I really didn't see it over there."

After asking two questions, the Ming army took this group of Qing troops to another place to be imprisoned, and Liu Da was handed over to a group of Ming cavalry, and he was helped on his horse with his hands tied behind his back, and these Ming troops led him westward.

This group of cavalry-led officers is the rebel army from Chen Tianshu, who joined Chen Wen's command with Chen Guobao back then, and is now a squadron leader of Chen Wen's cavalry guards, in charge of a squadron of 100 cavalry, as Chen Fugui's deputy.

The squadron leader was a good worker, and he was originally from the rebel army in Shaoxing Mansion, so he was quite familiar with the roads here, and it didn't take long for Liu Da to take him to the bank of the Qiantang River. He loosened the rope and put him in a boat, and rode back. Only Liu Da, who couldn't believe all this, was left, and the sentence that shocked him the most.

"Go back and tell your home guard, Guogong said it, what he said back then still counts now, you can decide yourself!"

………………

When Liu Da got on the boat and returned to Hangzhou, Xu Lei had not yet arrived on the bank of the Qiantang River.

As an officer, he was bound to be a priority target for the Ming army to pursue, especially after encountering his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, near Yuyao.

In several clashes with the pursuing Ming cavalry, their own soldiers were all killed in battle to cover their escape, and even Yu Fenqi himself was wounded. Originally, it shouldn't have been like this, at least in terms of martial arts, horsemanship and experience, few of these Ming cavalry can compete with their veteran soldiers, but the army was defeated, and even the real Manchuria was not the opponent of this Ming army.

With the injured Yu Fenqi, Xu Lei barely escaped the pursuit of the Ming army by hiding in Tibet, but the Ming army had such a great victory, and there was no Qing army in Zhejiang to counterbalance, even Jiangnan, which was also trapped in the attack of barefoot Zhang San, Qian Yingkui and the more difficult Zhang Mingzhen, and was no longer able to assist in defense. In this way, Ning Shao couldn't hold on at all, and even Hangzhou was in danger day by day, which made him more and more anxious.

"Virtuous son-in-law, this time let's flee back, I'm afraid that Hangzhou may not be able to defend it, so we have to leave a way back."

Posterior?

Hearing this, Xu Lei couldn't help but look away from the forest on alert, and then looked at Yu Fenqi.

"What does my father-in-law mean by trying to get in touch with Xiu Guogong?"

The defeat of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou garrison, and the new generation of Manchu generals, Dasu, led the mixed army of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han to defeat the Ming army, which was even smaller than his own number, and anyone would have such thoughts. However, to Xu Lei's surprise, what Yu Fenqi wanted to say was not this.

"Enlightenment?" Hearing this, Yu Fenqi immediately shook his head like a rattle, and even touched the wound on his arm.

"Virtuous son-in-law, we are different from others, we sold the great tomorrow for a good price, how can the Ming army believe us again? I mean, it's better to take advantage of the present to send the Li family's mother and daughter to the top, and write a few letters of persuasion to Li Ruixin. ”

"Father-in-law!"

Xu Lei never expected that Yu Fenqi would say such nonsense, so much so that he subconsciously even wanted to touch Yu Fenqi's forehead to see if this person had a fever and was confused.

Approaching in front of him, Xu Lei glanced left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, we have the mother and daughter of the Li family in our hands, and Li Ruixin will not sit idly by." If it is handed over to the imperial court, Li Ruixin will hate us, he is the confidant of Xiu Guogong, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous, at the end of the world, where is there a place for us? ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, do you think this Ming can still flourish? Western thieves, sea bandits, Zhejiang bandits, which of these three is good to get along, now they do not border each other's occupation areas, and they are still safe, and when there is contact, I am afraid that they will have already become a mess, the Qing Dynasty has been a fisherman again and again for so many years, and I think this time is the same. ”

betrayed the great tomorrow, logically speaking, it is indeed completely insulated on the side of the Ming army. In the meantime, Xu Lei could no longer distinguish whether he was afraid of their inevitable tragic fate after the rise of the Ming Dynasty and refused to face this possibility, or whether he really believed that the luck of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could overwhelm the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Zhejiang. Even if he could tell it, he consciously changed his obsession with rising up. He had to say that he would think about this matter clearly in the next two days, and he would definitely give Yu Fenqi an answer before returning to Hangzhou.

………………

With the development of the pursuit battle and the follow-up of Chen Wen's follow-up orders, the Zhejiang Ming army quickly launched a recovery offensive against the two prefectures of Ningbo and Shaoxing with Siming Mountain as the center.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, the next day of the Second Battle of Siming Lake, according to Chen Wen's order, the second battalion of Tiantai and Huangyan marched north, and recovered Yuyao County the next day and cut off Ningshao Road. After Chen Wen's Chinese army arrived, he turned his army to the east and entered the core area of Ningbo Prefecture.

At the same time, the Nantang battalion, which was responsible for pursuing the remnants of the Eight Banners Army, first converged at the Ruian camp and captured Shangyu, which was recovered twice by the Ming army of Dalanshan, and then after turning southward, the Ruian battalion left behind broke through the Shaoxing city with the Dongyang and Chun'an second battalions that marched north, and Chen Bing Qiantang River.

The Ming army's offensive was in full swing, and it seemed that it could almost go straight to the anointed land of Hangjiahu and officially compete with the Manchus for the ownership of Jiangnan. But what is puzzling is that after defeating the Eight Banners Army, Chen Wen first ordered Lou Jiye to return to Jinhua from the Flying Bear Battalion, and then let the Nantang Battalion, which had just recovered Shangyu County, also return to Jinhua Mansion to replenish troops, and did not take advantage of the situation to break through the Qiantang River under this great opportunity.

On May 15, the Ming army of Zhejiang came to the city of Ningbo. Although there were only two battalions of soldiers and horses, the Wenling battalion stationed in Taizhou had already divided into a part to recover Fenghua, and the Zhejiang coastal patrol division also pulled anchor and went north, so that in just a few days, only this capital city and Zhoushan across the sea were still in the hands of the Qing army.

The envoy to persuade surrender has been dispatched, Chen Wen does not believe that Ningbo Wenwu can continue to insist on keeping festivals for the Manchu Qing Dynasty when the Eight Banners Army has suffered a crushing defeat, even if they want to, they are afraid that those lurking anti-Qing people and wall grass in Ningbo Mansion will not let them get their wish, especially now that Chen Wen's flag has been flying in their sight.

If nothing else, when the five gentlemen climbed over the wall, the Ningshao anti-Qing people tried to recover the city but failed to do so, and they would open the city gate by themselves in the next two days and let the Ming army enter the city.

The continuous march, almost everywhere they went, the frightened green battalion soldiers would abandon their weapons and surrender in order to avoid death, so busy that Chen Wen did not even have a chance to chat with Huang Zongxi, Wang Jiang and others. Approaching the city of Ningbo, the military operation to recover Ningshao was about to end, and Chen Wen happened to talk to them before entering the city, so as to more smoothly take this piece of the newly occupied area of the scholar class, which was far stronger than the other six provinces in eastern Zhejiang.

"Sorting out taxes, this is inevitable, even if you don't do it now, in the future, Daming Zhongxing will definitely do it. Rather than wait until then, it's better to sort it out now. Wang Shi had more money and food, so he could kill all the Tartars earlier. ”

"What Guogong said is that the dynasty has been raising soldiers for nearly three hundred years, and we naturally have to share the worries of the court. It's just this ......"

"Huang Vice Xian is worried about preferential treatment? Before the expedition, I had already made it clear in the "Zhejiang Di Bao" that the emperor's preferential treatment would remain unchanged, and there was no need to worry about it. ”

"The recognition of the preferential treatment of the gentry by the national government is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for the society. It's just that there are always some arrears over the years, and many gentry have privately funded all kinds of royal teachers, and their families are not rich......"

I remember the first time I met Huang Zongxi, that one was as cold as ice, and it almost froze Chen Wen, and even in the past few years, it was not until Chen Wen invited Huang Zongxi to be a matchmaker that it eased up slightly, but it soon fell to the bottom.

At this moment, this great Confucian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties looked pitiful and completely reversed. In Chen Wen's eyes, it was as if Huang Zongxi, who called Kangxi the Son of Heaven a few decades later, possessed the soul of the current Huang Zongxi at the moment when the Ming army broke the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Why such a bizarre phenomenon occurs cannot be explained by disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, but Chen Wen is very clear about the reasons for its formation.

Over the years, the prestige of the Eight Banners of Manchuria has been pressed on the heads of the Han people for too long, so that often there has not been a confrontation, as long as they hear that the real Tartars are coming, the army will fall apart, and the defenders will surrender on their own.

However, once this demonic and terrifying image began to collapse, especially when it was still happening in front of their eyes, they were shocked and relieved, and the Zhejiang Ming army, which had defeated the Eight Banners of Manchuria, began to gradually replace it in their hearts. As prestige rises, reverence multiplies in their hearts. Manifested in the body of Huang Zongxi, the representative of the southeast gentry, it will be like this.

"I have instructed Governor Sun to deal with the arrears, and the principles of disposal have also been published in the "Zhejiang Di Bao". It is inevitable that the Tartar blockade and relocation of borders will make the circulation of information somewhat sluggish. As he spoke, Chen Wen motioned to a staff member to send the "Zhejiang Di Bao" he was carrying and handed it to Huang Zongxi and others. It is inevitable that Shilin has misunderstood, and I hope that you can explain in detail to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

"The country's words are serious, this is a matter within my equal responsibility."

Huang Zongxi's former lofty image began to crumble in Chen Wen's heart, making him quite uncomfortable. However, the core interests of the two sides have been opposed, and this scene now is what he wants, otherwise he would not have taken Huang Zongxi and others to fight with Dasu at that time. What's more, instead of letting Kangxi get goosebumps in the future, it is better to make him feel uncomfortable now.

It's just that after thinking about it, Chen Wen suddenly discovered that taking care of Xiao Mazi so much, it turned out that there was actually a friend of the Qing Dynasty in his hidden attributes, and it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple. (To be continued.) )
