Chapter 535: Nanning City is broken
During the Zhaoqing military discussion, Zhou Shixiang integrated the forces of the Ming army in Guangdong as soon as possible to advance westward, so as to avoid wasting time and energy on internal friction, so as to compromise with the military leaders of western Guangdong and give them the treatment of a new town. Breaking up the Qing army in Guangxi and placing them separately was an unshakable military order issued by the military marshal's office to each town, so Xiong Chaozuo could not let go, and he had no power to make changes.
The conditions have been set and reorganized, guaranteeing the lives of all the personnel, and not holding them accountable for their past crimes, including their participation in the massacre, which is quite favorable for most people. Therefore, most of the officials' faces showed the ease of the big stone landing, and at this moment, they all looked at Wang Guowei in unison, waiting for the chief soldier to make a final decision.
Xie Jun, the prefect of Nanning, was next to Wang Guowei, and he saw it most clearly, and he found that Wang Guowei would be very hesitant and a little undecided.
Wang Guowei was indeed very embarrassed, the surrender conditions he thought of before were just a simple change of banners, replacing the banner of the Qing Dynasty on the head of the city with the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and other than that, nothing changed. In this way, even if the Qing army comes back in the future, he can surrender again, after all, Nanning is now an isolated city, and it is impossible for the imperial court to demand that he really stick to the end, and take the lives of the civil and military families in the city to keep the festival for the Qing Dynasty to the end.
But now, the condition proposed by the Taiping Army is to reorganize, which suddenly cuts off the way back for Wang Guowei. Once he accepts the adaptation of the Taiping Army, it is conceivable that all the soldiers and horses under his command will be swallowed by the other party, and there will be no scum left, and it is also a question of whether he, the chief soldier, has done it. In these years, there are no soldiers under him, and it is not easy to mix in both the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Guowei finally spoke: "How can I believe that your army will not break its promise?" ”
"You don't have a choice, you can only believe." Xiong Chaozuo cut the railway, looked at Wang Guowei's face with a bitter face, and was very happy in his heart.
Wang Guowei was silent for a moment, and then said, "Can you let some people leave Guangxi?" ”
"No, it's either you fall or you die."
Xiong Chaozuo knew that Wang Guowei wanted to let some officials go to the Qing court, but his answer was not negotiable. Zhou Dashuai made it clear in the military order that unless the officials of Guangxi surrendered, they were not allowed to escape a single person.
"It's too much to do, can I think about it?"
Wang Guowei couldn't make up his mind and decided to delay it, if the Taiping army could give him a few days, he couldn't say that things would take a turn for the better.
No, Xiong Chaozuo's answer was: "Yes, but you must reply after an hour, even if you have half a pillar of incense after the deadline, our army will regard you as having no sincerity to surrender, and then the city will be broken, as our army said, Nanning officials and their families will die." ”
After speaking, Xiong Chaozuo didn't look at the Nanning officials who were stunned, and turned around as if no one was there.
After Xiong Chaozuo left, the Nanning officials immediately argued, and the surrender conditions offered by the Taiping army quickly spread to the whole city in their arguments.
In this world, although the little people can't affect the overall situation, the little people and the big people think about the problem from different angles. As the chief soldier, Wang Guowei hesitated whether he would be robbed of his military power if he surrendered, but the thousands of generals under his command thought more about the general soldiers, why didn't they order the opening of the city, did they really want to die together with Jiaxiao and Nanning City.
The senior generals have a heavy army and have a say in this matter, so they are arguing for their own interests. The little people are so sharp, they don't have many soldiers in their hands, the most is only a hundred and ten people, and they can't let the Ming army outside the city look at them alone, but when these little people come together, they have the ability to pry the situation.
Just when the general soldier was arguing with a group of generals and officials, the two generals of the Nanning Green Battalion and a thousand generals from the Han army under the Dingnan Domain gathered together and began to plot something.
"Is it okay to just accept the adaptation?" The general surnamed Qi asked the general officer from the Han army with a surprised face. Mr. Qian's name is Lu De, a native of Jinzhou, Liaodong, but his family moved to Guangxi with King Dingnan as early as the fifth year of Shunzhi, which will be in the city of Nanning.
"That's what the people of the Ming Army said."
Lu De said what the Ming army said and these two generals, and the two generals were happy after hearing it, for them, the low-level officers, it is not a problem at all to adapt anything, they are originally the Ming army, and there is no problem at all in their hearts when they change their bodies. In these days, as long as there is food to eat, it is not a sale to work for someone. Now the situation is obvious, Nanning City will not last long, the Ming army really has to attack twice more, and the city will be broken in the near future. When the city is broken, let alone adapted, if you can save your life, God will open your eyes, and Bodhisattva Daddy will bless you. Therefore, they accepted the surrender conditions offered by the Taiping Army in their hearts, but the problem was whether to open the city or not, and it was not up to them to decide whether to surrender or not.
Qi Jiang, who was full of surprise, thought of this question, and he asked Lu De: "We don't want to fight, but what if the above doesn't agree?" ”
Lu De snorted: "Who cares about our life or death, to tell you the truth, Liuzhou and Xunzhou have already fallen, and Guilin is also occupied by the Ming army, so we have no reinforcements at all." ”
Hearing this, another general surnamed Jiang scolded in a low voice: "According to this, Lord General is lying to us?" ”
"What do you think?"
Lu De sneered, looked at the city tower where he was deliberating, shook his head, and said: "The chief soldier and the general Wang are discussing this matter, and the people of the Ming army said that they will only give them an hour to consider, and if the time comes, they will not accept it even if we want to surrender, and when the time comes, everyone will be a dead word." ”
"My two boys were just born, and I can't die." Jiang Jiang said unwillingly.
"Allow him to be the first year of junior high school, but not allow us to be fifteen?" Qi always put his heart sideways, and he also let it go, and said to Lu De and Jiang Jiang: "Otherwise, let's open the door and descend now, right?"
Jiang looked at Lu De, but Lu De didn't speak, only nodded his head. The three of them had already made up their minds, and seeing that the time given by the Ming army was approaching, they did not dare to delay, and each led their cronies to touch the city gate, but they ran into the general Tong Zheng, who was shouting to kill all the young and strong people in the city.
Tong was born in the Han military banner, and his family members were all in Beijing, so he refused to surrender, but he was afraid that someone would secretly open the city, so he led his guards to the city gate to inspect. After discovering Lu De and others, Tong Zheng didn't think much about it, because this Lu De was also from the Han Army Banner. He summoned Lu De and the others over and instructed them: "The chief soldier is discussing things there, I am afraid that some people in the city will be frightened by the Ming army, you have to watch me more closely, you must look carefully at the city gate here, don't let those Guangxi Yankees touch it." ”
"Obedience."
Lu De nodded while looking at Jiang and them. When Tong Zheng found that there were green battalion soldiers around him, and he felt that something was wrong and wanted to ask, Lu De suddenly pulled out his knife and shouted: "Don't do it yet!" ”
This roar alarmed Tong Zheng's personal guards, but before they could come to their senses, a group of green battalion soldiers rushed up from all sides and hacked them to death.
Tong Zheng was so shocked that he was about to draw his knife to resist, but before he could swing the blade in his hand, he found a sharp knife coming out from behind his back, passing through his chest, and blood "gurgling" out.
Lu De stabbed Tong Zheng with a knife, and said in a cold voice: "General Tong, don't blame me, I also want to find a way to survive." As soon as the words fell, he pulled out his knife, Tong Zheng desperately wanted to turn around, but unfortunately all his strength was drained, he fell to the ground, and was silent in a blink of an eye.
Tong Zheng's personal guard captain looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, he subconsciously ran backwards to report the news, but he didn't run a few steps before he was blocked by another group of battalion soldiers. The green battalion soldiers actually didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw the battalion soldiers in front of them kill the Han army, General Tong was killed on the spot, so they also participated. In the face of the large number of green battalion soldiers, the captain of the personal guard could not resist it, and was quickly cut to the ground.
"Open the door!"
After Lu De took control of the city gate, he immediately asked Jiang Jiang to open the city gate.
After the news of the opening of the east gate reached the ears of Wang Guowei, who was still arguing and had not made a decision, he got up and sighed, knowing that he was no longer allowed to do anything, and the only way to remedy it was to quickly surrender together, otherwise the Ming army would probably take them to the knife.
After the east gate of Nanning was opened, the Taiping army in the eleventh town outside the city was stunned at first, and only after the Qing army in the city ran out and said that they wanted to surrender, then they came back to their senses and immediately rushed to the city under the command of the officer.
On September 17, the twelfth year of Yongli, the city of Nanning was broken. General Wang Guowei, General Li Yifu, Prefect Xie Jun and others asked to surrender
