Prince Heshuo'an, Aixin Jueluo * Yue Le, presided over the Council of Ministers as a prince in the late Shunzhi period, and was one of the core figures of the Manchu court ruling group at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter the death of Shunzhi, Yue Le, Jie Shu and others led Baylor to support Kangxi to ascend the throne, and when Kangxi tried to get rid of the two yellow banner ministers who had become bigger, Yue Le was also responsible for investigating and punishing Aobai's comrades.

After Yue Le set out on the expedition, he strongly advocated the seizure of Jiangxi, thus cutting off the connection between Wu and Geng, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty gained the strategic initiative, and then had the strategic possibility of defeating the three feudatories and the Zheng family in Taiwan, who participated in the war.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the heavyweights in the political arena and the handsome talents who were good at strategy did not have the necessary training during this period, but they could see that their own strength in Jiangning and Hangzhou might not be able to sustain them in a strategic defensive position, so they had Jidu to form a larger army to go south. It's a pity that he didn't wait for Jidu or even Jierharang, but he had already died in this great counterattack launched by the two feudal domains in the southeast of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and it was also tragic.

After killing Yue Le, it was not too far from Hangzhou, and with what he should bring, Chen Wen led the guards back to Qiaosi Town.

At the beginning of the war, the 13,000 Eighth Banner Army and twice as many auxiliaries were left as prisoners except for corpses, and of course there were some prisoners who were about to become corpses and prisoners who were always ready to become corpses.

Residential houses were not allowed to be inhabited, and when he returned to the Yamen of the Salt Division, which was used as a temporary governor, Chen Wen immediately convened a military meeting.

"Great King, according to the summary of the various departments, our army beheaded Yue Le, Prince of Heshuo'an, and Yibai, Minister of the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, under the Eight Banners of Manchuria one thousand and forty-four, the Eight Banners of Mongolia two thousand one hundred and eighty-nine, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army three hundred and twenty-one. 4,229 Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han military banners were captured from the Bolzigit * Bandi, and more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers. The weapons captured are not counted, and there are no less than 7,000 horses......"

The Eight Banners Army has always been the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, relying on the Eight Banners of Manchuria to control the Eight Banners of the Mongol and Han armies, and relying on the Eight Banners of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies to deter the Green Battalion soldiers, thus realizing the miracle of a barbarian tribe with no more than 40,000 men conquering the 70 million Ding unified Chinese Dynasty.

In this battle, there was no green battalion to participate, and the Qing soldiers captured were all the Eight Banner Army, which made the Manchus feel distressed even more than the green battalion soldiers who killed ten times as much.

"Pick out all the officers in the captives, and prepare to send them to the coolie battalion as usual."

Pick it out, it's useful. And those who sent coolie camps, now Hangjiahu is in sight, and some of them are tired to death.

The captured weapons are basically to be returned, and if the Ming army can't use them, there is naturally no meaning in continuing to exist. There is only a war horse, which is the capture that Chen Wen has always paid attention to, so he has to put it forward specially every time.

The infantry of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies was extremely strong, and this time the battle ended without even sending grenadiers. The cavalry, after years of training, is still slightly inferior in personal martial arts and riding skills compared to the Mongolian Eight Banners, which grew up on horseback since childhood.

Because of this, in this field battle, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies still used infantry to break the enemy, and cavalry pursued and expanded the old rhythm of the results. However, in this big battle, the calculation of the staff department was from beginning to end, the range of the mortar cannon, the position of the battle array, the traps in the town, everything, it can be said that Yue Le, a strategic commander in the early Qing Dynasty, was playing in the palm of his hand.

As soon as it was defeated, the Qing army completely lost its last support in Hangjiahu, and the Ming army could be like entering a no-man's land. Therefore, early the next morning, Chen Wen sent the front battalion north to march to Huzhou Prefecture, while he continued to lead the army to Hangzhou.

"Dashuai, it's a pity that Liu Liangzuo ran away from that thief, now Brother Li is in a hurry."

Huang Degong was plotted by Liu Liangzuo back then, if you talk about hatred, Tian Xiong or something is not even worthy of Liu Liangzuo for Li Ruixin. Chen Wen promised Li Ruixin in Dalan Mountain that he would help him avenge Huang Degong in the future, during which Liu Liangzuo smeared oil under his feet and ran faster than Yue Le, if there was really no shadow, Li Ruixin's original fighting spirit was bound to suffer some setbacks.

"Make a bet, one or two silver, I said that Liu Liangzuo is running back to Hangzhou now, do you believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether the last general believes it or not, but Dashuai, you are now the king of the county, and there are no less than 100,000 people with armor under your command. The bet of one or two silvers let outsiders know that they are not allowed to laugh at our Jiangsu and Zhejiang kings. ”

"There's no way, the daughter-in-law is strict, just this two pieces of silver or private money, are you gambling or not."

"Then the general will not dare to gamble."

Since Dalan Mountain, he has followed the side, and he has always firmly maintained Chen Wen's dominance, and many years of loyalty have made Chen Wen not shy about old subordinates such as Wu Dengke, Li Ruixin, and Yin Yue in private.

As soon as these words came out, the two laughed, and the winner naturally has the right to be so optimistic.

………………

The Ming army won the field battle, camped in place and rested for a while, and began to enter the rhythm of whale swallowing and encroachment. In contrast, the Qing army that died in the battle was a hundred, the fate of the captured Qing soldiers was undecided, and the auxiliary soldiers had already received the answer to be released after recovering Hangzhou.

The Qing army was defeated, although the news of Yue Le's death had not yet spread, but a prince led the troops, and the dignified field battle was still defeated, and there were obviously a lot of soldiers, and the scapegoat must be wanted. Among them, Liu Liangzuo doesn't even need to look in the mirror to know that he is a Han army banner man, or a newcomer who descended to the Qing Dynasty after the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, and there is no powerful person in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zang, he didn't dare, his younger brother Liu Liangchen, son Liu Zehan, etc., his family members are all in Beijing, as long as he is gone, everyone will die; It is said that Li Ruixin, the general under Chen Wen, was Huang Degong's personal soldier before, and it is estimated that Chen Wenyao will praise him for avenging the old master, or a dead end; The rest is only to try to make some contributions, but in any case, we must first confirm Yue Le's location, and then there will be a follow-up to speak of, otherwise no matter how much you toss, it will be a full house.

Liu Liangzuo fled first, and after arriving in Hangzhou, he did not rush into the city, but hid outside, sent Goshha around him to inquire about the news, and sent some close officers to collect the rout on the road.

Goshha infiltrated the city and brought back news that the rout had not yet fled. As the first high-ranking officer to arrive at the city of Hangzhou, Liu Liangzuo should have been happy, but with the increase in the number of routs gathered by his cronies on the road, the chaos and even contradictory news, he still heard the news that he did not want to hear.

Yue Le, dead!

The rout swore that he had gone in the wrong direction on the way to escape, and when he realized this, he turned to change direction only to soon find a group of Ming troops and a group of Qing troops fighting. He didn't dare to get too close, but the Qing army was obviously protecting a big man, and when they were annihilated by the Ming army and left, he picked up a safe purse from the grass where the big man had fallen from his horse, which Yue Le was carrying.

Liu Liangzuo took the evidence, and he had an impression of the pattern on it. Now that Yue Le has died in battle, Yibai seems to be more than lucky, and he can already foresee the next fate.

After pondering for a while, Liu Liangzuo also knew that even if he sent someone to try to get his family to escape, even if he could really escape, would he still be able to escape the net of the Manchu Dynasty?

For the sake of today's plan, only by trying to make meritorious deeds can you save your life, even if you are assigned to Ningguta, it is at least better than death, as long as you live, you will definitely have a chance to turn the tables, and if you die, there will be nothing.

At this moment, Liu Liangzuo, the man of the Yellow Flag of the Han Army who had been pampered in Beijing for many years, was gone, and Liu Liangzuo, the warlord of the Southern Ming Dynasty who was nicknamed Huama Liu, came back.

"Continue to gather the rout, as long as the Han army flags. Counting our people, we have enough five or six hundred, and Ben Shuai has his own way to get away with it. ”

………………

Five or six hundred people are not strong at all, and if the Manchu Qing or Chen Wen can be frightened by the head of the five or six hundred soldiers, it is simply impossible. The only possibility is that Liu Liangzuo has a way to create some miracle with the defeat of the Han army banner of only five or six hundred, but no matter how you look at it, these ideas are like a fool's dream.

In the evening of the same day, the rout began to flee back to Hangzhou in large numbers, and at the same time spread the news of the Qing army's disastrous defeat. Upon hearing the news, the officials and gentlemen in the city were terrified, and like the common people who knew that this place was about to become a battlefield, they tried to escape from the city by all means.

However, the city gates have long been taken over by the remnants of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou garrison and the city garrison, and the ten city gates are closed, even if the rout soldiers flee back, they can only enter the city after being examined and reorganized in the urn city, and the others are not allowed to go out or enter, making it clear that it is necessary to put an end to the possibility of all Ming troops entering the city. However, the markets outside the city gate and the Baixin in the streets and alleys have lost this heavy blockage, but on the way to the countryside, they inevitably have to worry about the houses outside the city.

Now Yue Le, Yibai, Liu Liangzuo and other senior officers have not been able to come back alive, and even the Mongolian Gushan Ezhen stationed in Hangzhou has no shadow, and there are six gods and no owners in the city. Fortunately, Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Hangzhou, is also a banner man, although it is only a Han military flag, but the governor's official position is here, which can always stabilize some people's hearts. And those strains just now are also from Xiao Qiyuan's handwriting.

The governor's yamen has now become the "city defense headquarters" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Hangzhou, and whether it is the bannermen of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, or the green battalion soldiers from the Raising Standard, Fubiao, and City Guard Battalion, or the Yamen at all levels, Ding Zhuang, all of them must obey Xiao Qiyuan's command.

"The bannermen of each Niulu must be mobilized and replenished to the soldiers of each Niulu. The city garrison camps pressed each gate, and the officers of the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou supervised them with the Eight Banners. The city is the key, but if you fight with your own family, you can't win it, and you still let those Niu Lu, who have supplemented too many routs, defend it, and prevent them from dying in battle. Raise the standard and raise the standard, you and the rest of the Eight Banners Army will come to the aid everywhere, and you will go wherever you are in a hurry. ”

"Everyone in the coolie battalion of the Zhejiang bandits in the south has heard of it, and no one who enters it will come out alive. Don't say that it is the banner man, and the green battalion is the same, otherwise how could the surnamed Chen build so many fortresses and military facilities while reducing the conscription, and the whole special was filled in with his life! ”

Xiao Qiyuan's sensationalism provoked, at least superficially, the struggle and determination of the Qing generals in the city. In this way, the defenders were all there, and the government was responsible for logistics, organizing auxiliary soldiers, civilian men, manufacturing garrisons and other important tasks, and the whole city was quickly mobilized.

It stands to reason that the Ming army has just conducted a field battle of tens of thousands of people today, and it always has to rest for a day and a half before returning to attack the city. The main body and reliance of the Ming army is infantry, and Hangzhou is also a strong city.

Late at night, Xu Xin, who was originally the commander of the promotion battalion who was supposed to be on standby in the camp, temporarily managed the promotion of Zhejiang as a deputy general, sneaked into his nephew Xu Lei's house through the back door.

There is no one around, and this secret room is even more hidden, even Xu Lei's wife Yu Shi doesn't know. Seeing this, the two naturally did not have any reservations, and bluntly mentioned their current situation.

"The field battles all ended in fiasco, and Governor Xiao also said that he could hold the city, which is a liar."

"That's right, His Highness's ability to attack and defend the city is no less than his ability to fight in the field, even if everyone works together to defend it, they can't bear those huge cannons."

"Even if you can keep it, what can you do, a prince has died, Prince Heshuo, the emperor's most trusted cousin, I am afraid that the day when the reward for sticking to the city is delivered, it will be the time when I will be awarded."

"Second uncle, things have come to this point, don't hesitate anymore, you can't hesitate anymore."

As soon as Xu Lei said this, Xu Xin shuddered, and the whole person became cringe, as if he remembered something frightening.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a moment of silence, he suppressed his vocal cords and asked tremblingly, "Are you sure this can be done?" ”

"It will definitely be done!"

Compared with Xu Xin, Xu Lei's confidence is obviously more sufficient. I just don't know where his confidence comes from, whether he really has this confidence, or whether he is forcing himself to believe in today's desperate situation.

"Okay, then that's it, you have to gamble this time if you don't succeed."

Since this is the case, the two began to put the matter they mentioned before back to the side, and made sure that there was no problem, Xu Xin said to Xu Lei before leaving: "It depends on him whether he is dead or alive, but this is unstable after all, are you sure that he will not turn his face and deny people?" ”

"No, not really. The little nephew has been completely prepared, and he will definitely be able to eliminate the hidden dangers here. After that, the bloodthirsty gaze in Xu Lei's eyes made even his uncle shudder at this moment.

The next day, the Ming army approached the city, and at the same time as the siege of Jiangning launched by the Ming army in Fujian, Hangzhou, the provincial capital, also fell into the encirclement of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
