Chapter 729: How Kill Even Officers and Soldiers!
Chongming, Zheng Jun has been besieging for thirteen days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After retreating all the way from Nanjing to Haikou, Zheng Chenggong decided to retake Chongming Island and place the generals' families here, so that they could free up their hands to fight the Qing army again. The tragic lesson of the family members of Nanjing who accompanied the army, Zheng Chenggong could not make it a second time. Before attacking the island, Zheng Chenggong ordered people to go to the island to persuade him to surrender, but the Qing army on the island already knew that Zheng's army was defeated under the city of Nanjing, so they resisted stubbornly in the city.
After two days of preparations, Zheng Chenggong ordered Zhou Quanbin, the right military guard, to attack the west gate of Chongming, Wu Hao, the town of Xuanyi, to attack the north gate, Han Ying, the town of Zhengbing, to attack the northeast corner, and the town to attack the southwest corner, and he personally supervised the battle. The Qing army guerrilla Liu Guoyu, Tong Guangying, Wang Long, Chen Ding and others desperately resisted, and the Zheng army made unfavorable progress. Zhengbing Zhen Han Ying and overseer Wang Qifeng bravely attacked the city, but they were both wounded by the Qing army's firearms, and died of their injuries soon after.
Unable to take Chongming Island for a long time, the Zheng army, whose morale was already low, became more and more depressed, and everyone in the army only hoped that the feudal lord would order the withdrawal of the army back to Jinxia, and no one was willing to stay in Jiangnan for half a moment longer. Zheng Chenggong was unwilling, on the one hand, he sent someone to talk to Ma Fengzhi that he was willing to ask the Qing court to negotiate peace, so as to paralyze the Qing army; On the other hand, it is hoped to buy time for the Zhejiang army, which has no news. At this time, Zheng Chenggong had already regretted that he should not give up Zhenjiang and retreat all the way, otherwise Zhang Huangyan and the Zhejiang army would not be alone, and it would be difficult to break through the river defense and rush out.
On the 27th, news came that the governor of the south of the Qing River led thousands of soldiers from Nanjing all the way east, and had arrived at Suzhou Mansion. However, because he was afraid of the huge naval division of the Zheng army, Guan Xiaozhong did not dare to reinforce Chongming Island, and only let Ma Fengzhi undertake the defense of Chongming. Guan Allegiance did not dare to come, but Zheng Chenggong did not dare to take risks, the battle under the city of Nanjing, although he was defeated because he believed the lies of Lang Tingzuo and Guan Allegiance, and was defeated because he did not restrain military discipline, and let Yu Xin and them come nonsense, but in the final analysis, the adventurous attack of the Qing army was the main reason for the defeat of the Zheng army. Therefore, Zheng Chenggong is worried that Guan Xiaozhong will take risks and smuggle out, in that case, with Zheng Jun's current situation, I am afraid that it will be another big defeat.
Ma Fengzhi did not hear from him for a long time, thinking that the Qing court did not believe that Zheng Chenggong intended to negotiate peace with them, and the main force of the Ma Department was also ready to move, and the sentinel ships of the Qing army appeared more and more times on the sea, and Chen Yonghua, who joined the army, judged that Ma Fengzhi had completely fallen to the Qing court, and was ready to fight with Zheng Jun with all his might, so as to clear his own inaction.
The army had no will to fight, everyone was looking forward to returning, and the general Zhou Quanbin and others persuaded the feudal lord to withdraw the army every day, and Zheng Chenggong finally decided to give up the attack on Chongming and withdraw to Jinxia. However, considering the opportunity to win one more point for the Zhejiang army to withdraw, he did not order the whole army to retreat, but ordered to retreat in batches. The family members and the front army went first, and the middle army and the rear army went again. In this way, it can be regarded as containing the Qing army in Jiangnan and doing the last thing for Zhang Shangshu's side.
On the Chongming Sea in the middle of the night, the waves hit the hull of the ship one after another. The sky was cloudy, and there were no stars in sight.
Accompanied by Chen Yonghua, who joined the army, Zheng Chenggong walked to the deck and looked at the mainland from afar, with an extremely complicated expression. The Qing military camp on the shore emitted a flickering fire, and the sea was also full of light, but it was the lanterns hanging by the Zheng army's fleet fluttering in the wind.
In the distance, there was a cry through the sea breeze, it was the husband and son of Zheng Jun's family who died in the weeping battle under the city of Nanjing and on Chongming Island.
The crying made Zheng Chenggong's nose sour, and he felt that he couldn't live up to these family members, and it was his fault that caused them to lose their loved ones.
He thought of Gan Hui, Yu Xin, Pan Gengzhong and Wan Li, who died in battle...
He was shivering, not from the cold, but from the heartache.
"The feudal lord..."
Looking at the slightly trembling body of the feudal lord, Chen Yonghua choked up and burst into tears.
After a long time, Zheng Chenggong's emotions calmed down, and when he turned his head to look at Chen Yonghua, he was already resolute.
"This domain is still young, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, it doesn't matter if we lose this time, as long as we don't give up, one day, I will come again in this Yangtze River!"
The 35-year-old King of Yanping was not defeated by defeat, he had already made a decision, and after returning to Jinxia, he sent troops to Dongfan, controlled the Dongfan sea area, raised troops with Dongfan, and then reorganized his troops to fight the Qing army.
......
In Nanjing, Prince An Yue Le, who came to Jiangning in person to command the extermination of the bandits, sat in the hall of the governor of Liangjiang, and sat Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang.
Not long ago, Lang Tingzuo told An Qing that he was anxious, but Prince An did not send reinforcements for a long time, and now the bandits have retreated, but Prince An arrived with a large army as soon as possible, and the Manchu and Han generals in Jiangning City are not without strange words, but no one dares to show it in front of the prince, even Lang Tingzuo, the governor, does not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of the prince, but has to express great gratitude to Prince An for his help.
"Bring the prisoners here."
Yue Le picked up Lang Tingzuo's usual shocking wood and slapped the table, and immediately a soldier escorted the bandit generals Gan Hui and Yu Xin, who had been brought out of prison, into the lobby.
Looking at Gan Hui and Yu Xin, who were covered in blood and tortured and unadult-like, Yue Le laughed and said to Lang Tingzuo: "These two people are the right-hand men of the pirate Zheng Sen you are talking about?" Why does this king look like two thieves? ”
"No matter how fierce the thief is, there are two dragons in front of the prince." Lang Tingzuo laughed twice, and shouted at Gan Hui and Yu Xin: "When you see my Prince of Daqing, don't kneel down yet!" ”
"Get on your knees!"
The overseers shouted in unison.
Yu Xin looked up at Yue Le and Lang Tingzuo above, hesitated, his knees weakened, and he slowly fell to his knees. However, as soon as his body fell, his left waist was hit by something, Yu Xin couldn't help the pain, and turned his head to look, but it was Gan Hui, who was tied up with five flowers, and kicked him.
"You!"
Yu Xin was stunned, and he didn't know why Gan Hui kicked him. Gan Hui stared at him and sneered, and then scolded: "Fool, do you think you can survive if you kneel!" ”
"I..."
Yu Xin's face was gloomy, he hung his head for a moment, and suddenly struggled to get up again, standing side by side with Gan Hui, glaring at Yue Le and Lang Tingzuo.
Seeing this, Yue Le snorted: "These two thieves are also hard. ”
Lang Tingzuo raised his eyebrows, and motioned for the left and right soldiers to step forward and force Gan and Yu to press down. The soldiers were about to step forward to make a move, but Yue Le chuckled lightly and waved his hand to signal them to retreat.
"Although it is a thief, but it is also a famous thief, let them stand, the king has already played a trick, but when the emperor approves it, these two thieves will be punished."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that these two thieves have a thousand cuts!"
Lang Tingzuo nodded heavily, seeing that Gan Hui and Yu Xinning were unyielding, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to order the soldiers to take people down. Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangning, rushed in with an angry face, and found that Prince An was also there, so he hurriedly collected his angry face, stepped forward to ask Yue Le for peace, and then his angry face reappeared, and he said angrily to Lang Tingzuo:
"Your Excellency the Governor sent Manchurian soldiers to hunt down the thieves, and the lower officials have no opinion, but why did the Governor Governor slaughter all my loyal officers and soldiers! ... What is the reason for thinking that the officers and soldiers fought desperately to the death when the thief came, and after the thief left, he was killed by the governor! (To be continued.) )
