Chapter 206: Tricky [Second Update]
Chen Yongsheng is Chen Yao's son, Chen Yao is Chen Hui's distant cousin, and now he is the deputy director of the General's Mansion Transportation Bureau. So he became one of the twelve battalion officers of the A Barracks, so he became the commander of the westward detachment of the Xiangyang division of the Fu Han Army. Now he has become the front-line commander of the Fuhan Army's attack on Wuchang.
In front of Wusheng Gate, on the northeast shore of Shahu Lake, a large number of Fu Han troops gathered here were urging two or three thousand bannermen, young men and healthy women, to drag dirt bags to fill the Fenghuang Mountain trench in front of Wusheng Gate.
Phoenix Mountain is the gateway of the ancient city of Wuchang, and there has always been a saying that "if you want to control Wuchang, you must first control Snake Mountain, and if you want to control Snake Mountain, you will first control Phoenix Mountain". The city wall of Wushengmen was built by the crab cape and Phoenix Mountain. And Crab Cape turned out to be a mountain.
Legend has it that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was stationed in the Purple Mountain by the Sand Lake, commanded the soldiers to set up cannons on the crab head, and bombarded the Ezhou City (called Ezhou in Wuchang), which was guarded by Chen Li, the son of Chen Youliang, and this mountain had the alias of Gun Rack Mountain. It is also known as "City Mountain" because of "the city wall is relied on, and now it is called North City Mountain", but now, many people have mixed it with Phoenix Mountain.
Fan Shishou is not a good material like A Gui who can govern the country and be able to defend the country, as for how to guard the three towns of Wuhan, he is more to let his soldiers and the people who are requisitioned, rigidly dig trenches in Phoenix Mountain, Hongshan, in the east and west, north and south of Wuchang City, and build barracks everywhere.
Therefore, Hankou and Hanyang were taken by Chen Ming without much effort, so the army crossed the river, and the two sailor battalions fell into the desert after a little contact and fled to Huanggang downstream, the capital city of Huangzhou.
"Chopped. Those who dare to work without contribution, cut! ”
His eyes swept over the lazy flag people who were pulled out, there were men and women, Chen Yongsheng didn't think much of the hard work in their eyes at all, waved his hand, and killed.
Chen Yongsheng has always been very clear about his positioning, he is a child of the Chen family, and Chen Hui and Chen Ming are grasshoppers on the same rope. He was an absolute mortal enemy of the Manchus, so he didn't need to have half a bit of pity for these bannermen. His actions also showed this, in the days of the Hanchuan New Year, Chen Yongsheng used his exploits to take away several women among the captured bannermen, if it weren't for the Eight Banners officials and nobles' wives and daughters who were almost killed outside Jingzhou City, Chen Yongsheng would definitely take a few more beautiful ones.
Once the Chen family was prosperous, there were a few greedy people in gold, silver and money, and there were countless women who did not know how to check them. Chen Yongsheng is the worst of Chen Ming's Chen disciples. Meat and vegetarian food are not taboo, not only for yellow flower girls, but also for those who have been married and have children. But this did not prevent Chen Ming from cultivating him carefully. Because Chen Yongsheng fought bravely, Chen Ming didn't think much of 'Yong', but he valued Chen Yongsheng's 'Yi' very much.
Before being promoted to battalion officer, Chen Yongsheng led the team to fight and charge without a rout, during the Battle of the Rolling River, the Henan camp guard battle and the subsequent siege of Xiping, Chen Yongsheng's team was hit by the flag soldiers, attacked on three sides, almost wrapped in the enemy group, but did not retreat; The latter advanced too fast, disconnected from the large army, and even if he was alone, he went deep and marched bravely; His performance left Chen Ming with a deep memory.
Maybe his character can't become a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, but for the current general's mansion, it is already very dazzling.
"Offensive ......"
The trench in front of Phoenix Mountain was balanced, and the Qing barracks on the top of this low hill did not release a single shot. The artillery of the Fu Han army bombarded over, and Chen Yongsheng issued the order to attack.
Walking in the front were a group of banner men, then a group of soldiers of the Fu Han Army carrying thick shields, behind them were a group of musketeers and armor soldiers, then a layer of soldiers of the Fu Han Army carrying heavy shields, and then five flying thunder cannon crews carrying thick barrels.
"Let's go, let's go......" Jiang Tianfang held the spear in his hand, and kept shouting at the flag man walking in front of him.
The Qing soldiers on the hill were completely on wax. What should they do? The previous Al Yajiang didn't dare to give the order to open fire and shoot those banner men who were in front of him, how could the Qing soldiers on the top of Phoenix Mountain dare to defy the condemnation of the world?
They watched as these bannermen filled the trenches under the mountain, and then they were hit by cannons, and then these bannermen became the shields of the Fuhan army? Shameless, absolutely shameless!
Every Qing soldier scolded the meanness of the Fu Han Army and the shamelessness of the Fu Han Army in their hearts, but at the same time, they were also echoing the propaganda of the Fu Han Army in their hearts.
One hundred and twenty years ago, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just entered the customs, they would also gather the people to fill the ditches, fill the moats, and storm the city. Those people did not have the amulet of the 'banner man', and they fell under the city wall in pieces and died a tragic death under the wall. At that time, 'I Daqing' had no pity at all.
……
Hubei Governor Yamen.
Fan Shishou's face turned blue and white for a while, and the problems that Arya Jiang encountered by the Yangtze River were now in front of him. When the battle report was sent back to Wuchang after the defeat of Al Yajiang, Fan Shishou realized this big problem and quickly reported it to Beijing, but now half a month has passed, and there is no definite news from Beijing, what can he do?
Opposite him, the Arya River, and the Hubei envoy Zhu Qi [well, that is the teacher of Jiaqing], the Hubei political envoy Min Juyuan rushed to Jingzhou, and after the retreat of the Han army from Jingzhou, he went to regain the lost territory. It is also to calm down the place and stabilize the chaos in western Hubei.
Now there are only three members in Wuchang City: Fan Shishou, Zhu Jue, and Al Yajiang, two flags and one Han [Fan Shishou is the banner of the Han army], Zhu Jue will not say a word in this matter at all, otherwise his head will be moved. And Fan Shishou and Al Yajiang didn't dare to kill before they got instructions from Beijing City.
This matter involves the question of the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If 20,000 or 30,000 bannermen were killed like this, how would the Han people in the whole world still think of the Manchu court? Who would still treat the flag man as a sky? This is not 20,000 or 30,000 Han people, Huihui, or Dzungar Mongolia and Qinghai Mongolia. This was the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the foundation of the Qing court's rule over the world. Without the will given by the city of Beijing, who would dare to order the killing?
Of course, Fan Shishou and the three of them now have to face an equally serious problem, Phoenix Mountain is about to be lost. Can Wuchang City, which lost Phoenix Mountain, still hold on? The Fu Han army was able to set up artillery at the top of the mountain to bombard Wuchang directly, and they were able to once again let the captured bannermen give them 'shelter from the wind and rain'. This is a very, very serious problem, and Wuchang can't hold it!
As long as these bannermen are there, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to defend Wuchang. What should they do? As the feudal officials of Hubei, will all three of them be martyred in Wuchang City?
The mournful shout of "report the ......" sounded outside, and with the sound of rapid running, a person broke straight into the hall, and the soldiers outside did not stop him at all, because this person was Fan Shishou's personal entourage.
"Master, Phoenix Mountain is lost, Phoenix Mountain is lost, ...... is lost" (to be continued.) )
