Chapter 147: Reconciliation of Xi'an
The shrewd and capable Cao Kezhong general soldier was not able to escape far, because no matter how fast the two rabbit legs were, they couldn't escape anywhere, compared to the Luoyang cavalry, the disadvantage was obvious, so Lao Cao could only hide, until the people sent by Lei Zhengwan and the people sent by the magistrate looked for calls everywhere, and then invited him out.
Unkempt, deliberately dressed as an idiot beggar, the general soldier returned to Lintong in disbelief, and was also cordially received by Luo Yang, and was reinstated as a grace officer.
"Lord Rui, after his humble position, he is a lackey of Huaxia Tian**, and he is a person from heaven in life and death." Lao Cao's mouth is sweeter, and he expresses his true feelings very smoothly,
The two overjoyed generals of the Qing army, led the soldiers who had no weapons, and accompanied the Luoyang army all the way to Xi'an, because there was no return army along the way, and there was no troublemaking by the Qing army, everyone was quite relaxed, and almost laughed and laughed to the destination.
On the way, I was also a little nervous, because when I arrived at the city of Xi'an, I was disturbed by the Qing army.
The Qing army continued, that is, the cavalry army of the original Duolonga, as the first mobile force, rushed to the city of Xi'an early, this is a group of fanatical militants, as soon as they detected the enemy's whereabouts in the northeast, these guys will attack it in groups,
It is a bit dangerous, more than 1,000 Qing cavalry, its combat ability is not trivial, and, knowing the news that the follow-up troops were attacked tragically and unfortunately destroyed, these loyal supporters of General Duolonga were filled with righteous indignation and determined to avenge the general.
Seeing that the two armies had encountered, the Qing army was eager to try to prepare for the charge, and Luoyang also urgently built a temporary defense line, with artillery as the main striking force, preparing for a decisive battle with the Qing army, at this time, an accident happened,
Seeing the situation, Lei Zhengwan took the initiative to come forward and explain to the Qing army on the opposite side, hoping not to fight: "The Hui army has not been destroyed, and we are killing each other, which is really not interesting." ”
Lei Zhengwan is a famous figure in Shaanxi, the military head of a province is called the admiral, which is equivalent to the status of the commander of the provincial military district, who can not know the Qing army, at first sight, they are all shocked, and then, Luo Yang shouted to the Qing army, saying that Duolong Ashang is still alive in the Chinese army, which immediately weakened the grievances of the Qing army a lot.
The Luoyang army is really reluctant to fight anymore, in Lintong, the artillery bombardment battle, the consumption is huge, the remaining explosives package is not much, and the captured foreign artillery shells are very precious, really not waste them first, and the Shaanxi troops of the Qing army, the vast majority of which are Han Chinese, do not want to kill internally,
At this time, Huaxia Tian**'s receiving troops arrived, a thousand cavalry rushed over, looking at it from a distance, the horizon was dusty, and I didn't know how many people and horses, the Qing cavalry saw it, I was afraid that it would be surrounded and annihilated, and retreated stupidly.
Under the response of the troops, Luoyang's small expeditionary force returned victoriously.
Another victory pushed the activities of Huaxia Tian's military power in Shaanxi to the top.
The two wars swept away the absolute elite troops of the Qing army in Shaanxi, annihilated the regular army of 13,000 people before and after, captured more than 100 advanced artillery pieces of the Qing army, and many shells.
In the area of Weicheng, there are still troops of the Qing army, but they are all grain and salary transportation troops, etc., and they have no combat effectiveness and can be ignored.
After a few days of fighting, more than 10,000 Huaxia Tian** have achieved actual victory, Xi'an's cracking, is only a matter of time, and let this problem be quickly solved, what is more advantageous is that the reinforcements have arrived,
From Zhou Zhi set off the main force of Huaxia Tian**, that is, the troops of Qiu Yuancai, the Huai King of the original Taiping Army, plus Lan Dashun's troops, plus part of the Huaxia Army, three confluences, more than 10,000 people, after the triumphant return of the Luoyang Army, rushed to Xi'an, the two armies met, the prestige was more vibrant, Qiu Yuancai was ordered to camp in the east of Xi'an City, Lan Dashun and Huaxia Tian**, stationed outside the north gate, Luoyang divided two thousand troops, stationed at the south gate of Xi'an City, surrounded the city on all sides, and dug trenches, made a long-term siege posture,
There are very convenient conditions here, the Hui army of tens of thousands has been besieged in this area, the ravines have been dug enough, and many camps are also ready-made, so once the siege situation of more than 20,000 Chinese troops is established, it will intensify the panic of the defenders of Xi'an.
Luo Yang repeatedly explained to Duolonga, Lei Zhengwan and others his willingness to peacefully solve the Xi'an issue, and explained clearly to many captured Qing generals how to settle their future lives, and also gave many promises to the Qing generals and officials of the Qing court in the city.
There is no possibility of convincing Duolonga to surrender, but if he wants to lead part of the Qing troops to Gansu to encircle and suppress the Hui army's separatist forces, he is still reluctantly willing, Lei Zhengwan is different, and readily agreed,
Shaanxi Admiral Lei Zhengwan became the negotiator of Huaxia Tian** into the city, with Duolong'a's handwritten letter and several entourage, he returned to meet the officials and guards in the city, and expounded Huaxia Tian**'s position and conditions.
First, all Qing Dynasty officials, civilian, continue to hold official positions, without any changes, that is, clothes, hairstyles, etc., can also remain unchanged, continue to manage the affairs of the government, two, all Qing army generals, officers, maintain their original ranks, ranks, join the Huaxia Tian** sequence, three, the establishment of the Shaanxi provincial government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, absorb the original Xi'an Qing Dynasty officials to participate, and do not make any discrimination against all surrendered personnel, fourth, for the previous Qing army generals, officers, clerks to the Taiping Army and other great cruel crackdowns, There is no longer any accountability, and the two sides must be sincerely united.
The conditions given by Huaxia Tian** are unusually lenient, mainly because Luo Yang is unwilling to hurt the national vitality with war, in fact, with the current situation, using his own artillery, plus the captured 100 Western-style cannons, it is almost effortless to attack Xi'an City.
A day later, the situation was negotiated, and Lei Zhengwan went out of the city and returned to Luoyang.
The Xi'an officials who followed Lei Zhengjuan, there were more than a dozen people, and when they arrived at the Huaxia military camp, they were respectful, knocked on Luoyang, and also felt the warmth of the spring breeze, and surrendered happily.
The problem has not been completely solved, because in the city of Xi'an, there is a city within a city, this is the full city.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the implementation of the Eight Banners garrison, the fortresses throughout the country, famous cities, strategic hubs, are equipped with a certain Eight Banners Army as a garrison, in order to monitor the local green battalion soldiers, in the provincial capitals, of course, there are Manchu Eight Banners garrison, Xi'an City has a full city, more than 1,000 Qing troops plus thousands of family members, quite a force,
The authentic Qing army in the city said that they would not surrender to the death,
The Qing army was actually afraid of being deceived, and then being ruthlessly slaughtered, anyway, the war in Shaanxi, between the Hui army and the Han Manchu army, this was a barbaric massacre,
After Luoyang's army entered the city, it besieged Mancheng with artillery and infantry, especially those foreign artillery, which gave great pressure to the Manchu army.
Immediately, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Army, with their families and weapons, with the help of a large number of carriages provided by Xi'an City, sorted out the materials on the same day and went out of the east of the city.
Xi'an was restored peacefully,
