Chapter 82 is ashamed but has no regrets
The heavy rain poured down, the rivers turned red, and the city of Yangzhou, which had been blocked for ten days, finally came with the news of the slaughter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing the news of the Yangzhou massacre and hearing that there were more than 600,000 victims, Li Hongfei was silent, but came to the riverside alone in the rain, facing the direction of Yangzhou City, and knelt down.
It was inevitable that the Qing army would slaughter the city, but as a traverser, he came to the Ming Dynasty for nearly a year, and instead of stopping this incident, he allowed it to develop, and even tried his best to push forward, Li Hongfei knew that he was guilty.
However, in any case, Li Hongfei has never regretted it in his heart, and the hearts of the people in Nanming are not aligned, which is the fundamental reason for repeated defeats.
The weakness of the army is only one aspect, and even the common people do not support this war of resistance, which is the most chilling.
Now is not the era of machine guns and artillery, in Yangzhou City, there are 600,000 civilians, and how many Qing soldiers are there?
After several wars, there were less than 200,000 people in the early days when Shi Kefa was resisting the invasion, and these ordinary people could understand the righteousness and take the initiative to help defend the city, how could Yangzhou be easily broken in one day?
Even after the city is broken, if the common people can rise up to resist, 600,000 against 200,000, even if there is no chance of winning, they can bite off a piece of the Qing army's flesh and die heroically, it is better than being driven to a pile by others, and then collectively killed.
Since they are not willing to protect the "country", then when the Qing army raises the butcher's knife, don't complain about the sky and the people, and complain that no one will help protect everyone's small family.
When a group of ordinary people betrayed the Ming soldiers hiding at home to the Qing army in order to save their lives, their end was already doomed, and no one could save them, not even anyone who could avenge them.
Of course, there is no if, the Qing army's brutal style is the first time, the people of Yangzhou are not Li Hongfei such a traverser, let alone the ability to foresee, perhaps in their eyes, the Qing army is the embodiment of justice and kindness, the Qing army is here to end years of war.
And Li Hongfei let the situation develop like this, but also to inform the world that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not a good type, if it could not be taken as a warning, then there would be countless "Yangzhou Ten Days" in the future, unless the Han people in the world were really willing to be slaves to the country.
Willing to serve the Manchu as the master.
Willing to shave his hair and change his clothes, return to the Yuan Dynasty period, and be the lowest fourth type of people...........
"I have so many disasters and difficulties, when will I be able to rise again!" I don't know when, Shi Kefa also came to the river in the rain.
After more than ten days of cultivation, he finally recovered, after all, something had happened, and if he committed suicide at this time, it would not be martyrdom, but suicide in fear of sin.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, one day, we will definitely cross the Yangtze River, send troops to the Yellow River, and drive the Manchu Tartars out of my land of China!" Stilwell held up his umbrella and said firmly.
He didn't hold an umbrella for himself, but worried about the elderly Shi Kefa.
"Hit it? How difficult! Old and incompetent, the loss of soldiers and generals, now the Tartars have sacrificed the butcher's knife, in the future, anyone who has the heart to resist, I am afraid that they will remember the lesson of Yangzhou ten days, who would dare to die? Shi Kefa's mentality at this time was very pessimistic.
He even regretted that he ordered Yangzhou to be defended, if he could lead the army to surrender when the Qing army persuaded him to surrender, the people in Yangzhou might be able to stay alive.
This is also the effect of the Yangzhou Massacre, the massacre of the Qing army, of course, will wake up the Han people in the world, but also plant a seed in the hearts of the Han people.
Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die!
Lu Xun has a good saying: If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence.
After the Yangzhou massacre, if the Qing army continued to move south in the future, it would either encounter desperate resistance or have a smooth journey.
"Others won't, but the child is sure that this Lord Li will definitely not sit still, as long as he can withstand the Qing army to cross the river and prove the determination of my generation to resist the Qing Dynasty, the day when the Han people in the world awaken will be the time when the Manchu Tartars will perish!" Stilwell pointed to Li Hongfei, who was kneeling by the river, and said to Shi Kefa.
Now the Han people of Nanming have hated the Manchus to death, but they are suffering from the lack of an army that can compete with the Manchus.
"Jiang'er (Stilwell Longjiang), the first battle of Yangzhou, my father knew that he had no ability to lead the troops, this Lord Li's subordinates, fifty new troops dared to rush into battle, five hundred new troops were ten thousand enemies, and he was a contemporary god of war, you can serve in his army in the future, and kill a peaceful and prosperous world for the Ming Dynasty!" Shi Kefa pointed at Li Hongfei and explained to Stilwell.
In the past few days, Shi Kefa has already had enough understanding of Li Hongfei's troops, so he can naturally make such an evaluation.
"Father-in-law, what are you ........." Stilwell was puzzled.
"For my father, I am a little powerless to lead troops to fight, but you can rest assured, my father will help you raise military funds in the court, stabilize the rear, and let the soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy have no worries." Shi Kefa has lost his ambition because of the battle in Yangzhou.
You must know that with his appeal, it is not impossible to rebuild the army and make a comeback, but he feels that he is a defeated general, and he has no shame to face the people of Jiangnan, and he does not have the courage to lead the troops to fight again.
Just as the two were discussing, Li Hongfei, who had been kneeling by the river in the rain, suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell to the ground as soon as it was dark in front of him..........
An endless chill enveloped Li Hongfei's body, making him shiver, and then a stream of heat hit, making him feel like he was in the magma of hell.
This heat and cold repeatedly destroyed his body and even his will.
In a trance, he saw countless stumps and broken arms.
I saw naked women, their chests pierced by spears, blood gushing out.
I saw the corpse of a young man with a missing head.
I saw a baby who had just turned one year old, his belly was torn, and his intestines were dragging to the ground.
...............
These people are densely packed together, boundless.
The headless corpse waved its hands, trying to grab Li Hongfei.
And the women and children all stared at Li Hongfei with blood-red eyes, looking dead and blind, which was also weird.
"Go away!"
"Don't look for me!"
"I didn't do it!"
"I don't want to do that either!"
"Ahh
Li Hongfei exclaimed and sat up suddenly.
"Husband, you're finally awake!" A gentle and surprising voice sounded in Li Hongfei's ears.
Looking at it, it turned out to be Chen Yuanyuan, I don't know when, Li Hongfei has returned to the camp, except for the breathing of the two people, there is no sound around, obviously the heavy rain has stopped.
"It turned out to be a nightmare!" Li Hongfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay if the husband is fine, you have been in a coma for three days, and you are worried about the death of the concubine." Chen Yuanyuan whispered.
She has been taking care of Li Hongfei for the past three days, it can be said that she has not slept endlessly, and her whole person is haggard.
"Worries you." Li Hongfei said absent-mindedly.
He didn't even dare to look at Chen Yuanyuan's face now, because as soon as he saw Chen Yuanyuan, he remembered that in the nightmare, those women who died tragically, if Jiangnan couldn't hold it, Li Hongfei really didn't dare to imagine whether Chen Yuanyuan would end up like the women in Yangzhou City.
Without personal experience, you will never be able to experience the current scene, what you see on paper is just cold data, even if Li Hongfei is at the moment, he can only see the river that is dyed red.
"My husband just woke up, I should rest more, I personally boiled a bowl of ginseng soup, and my husband drank it while it was hot." Chen Yuanyuan brought a bowl of ginseng soup from the table next to him.
The ginseng soup is still hot, and Chen Yuanyuan doesn't know when Li Hongfei will wake up, so every half an hour, he will boil a bowl, so that after Li Hongfei wakes up, he can drink the hot soup as soon as possible.
"By the way, you said today is the third day of my coma?" Li Hongfei said suddenly.
"That's right, the doctor said that the husband was drenched in the rain, which caused the fire poison (high fever) to invade the body and contracted the wind cold, and it was not until two hours ago that the fire poison completely subsided." Chen Yuanyuan replied.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help blushing a little, before Li Hongfei was in a coma, the tasks of feeding medicine and soup were all handed over to Chen Yuanyuan, but the most effective way to feed medicine to a comatose person is mouth-to-mouth..........
"I've been in a coma for three days, Yuanyuan, you do me a favor, help me call Guo Sheng over, I have something to explain." Li Hongfei didn't have any thoughts about the love of children at this time.
Now the situation in Nanming is critical, and three days is enough to change the direction of a war.
"Husband, General Wang Guoxing came to Zhenjiang yesterday and found that you were ill, so he asked the Holy Lord to send an edict to General Guo to send 10,000 people to Nanjing, and left a letter when he left, saying that he was waiting for you to wake up and show you." Chen Yuanyuan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Hongfei.
While Li Hongfei was still in a coma, Wang Guoxing hurriedly transferred 10,000 new troops, and it seemed that something big was going to happen in Nanjing..........
