Chapter 479: The Holocaust in Real History
(Read more)
"Silk!" Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air, he remembered that in real history, Jinan didn't seem to be defending. Moreover, this is the last stop of the Qing army's southern invasion, and after grabbing Shandong, Dolgon will lead the army back to the north.
In this battle, Shandong was beaten into white land by the Qing army, and then there were wars every year, and it was not until the early years of the Qing Dynasty that it recovered. In the past, when the Qing army invaded the south, the soldiers reached as far as Jingnan, but this time they directly hit Shandong and went deep into the interior.
This is the first time in the history of the Ming and Qing wars, which shows how weak the Ming Dynasty is today.
Sun Yuan didn't care about grief, and stuffed the Tang newspaper into Huang You's hand: "Elder Liu Ge is right, now is not the time for us to cry. If you want to cry, when the battle is over, let's go to the spirit of the Overseer and cry, and come with me. ”
Huang Youqiang raised his spirits, and when he entered the hall, Sun Yuan and Liu Ge Lao had already discussed military affairs. The hall was full of broken household goods, which showed how sad Sun Yuan was before.
Sun Yuan nodded slightly to him, and then said to Liu Yuliang: "Ge Lao, our army is now stationed in the plain. The reason why the governor of Shandong Yan garrisoned Dezhou was probably to guard the Grand Canal crossing. But it's a pity that now Jiannu did not enter from Texas, and instead chose Jining and Dongchang to cross the river. In these two places, my Ming army is empty, and there is no river defense, if there is no accident, Jiannu crosses the river, there should be no problem. But the problem is that in order to resist these two Jiannu armies, the garrison in Shandong will be mobilized by the enemy, but there is no spare strength to rescue Jinan. I'm afraid that Jinan is dangerous. In my opinion, the elder should ask the imperial court to send a large army to Jinan as soon as possible. As for other places, I don't have to worry about it, and I can't take care of it. ”
Liu Yuliang: "No, the walls of Jinan are high and thick, and they will not fall." Besides, no matter how much the Ming Dynasty used troops internally and externally, there has never been a fall of the provincial capital, were you too worried at the beginning? ”
Huang You suddenly said with an awe-inspiring face: "It's not that I'm worried too much, but it's really possible." During the Sizhou War, Governor Lu Du once transferred the Shandong army to block the canal and the Yellow River crossing to prevent the thief army from rushing north. Therefore, the situation of the Shandong Army is very clear in the later years. The Shandong army can really fight Liu Zeqing's department. Now Liu Bu is in Texas, and as for the other parts, they all rushed to Jining and Gaotang. Today, there are only five or six thousand defenders in Jinan. ”
"What!" Liu Yuliang was shocked, and Huo stood up: "Five or six thousand people, there are 30,000 people in the Jiannu Yue Tuo Department, how can you resist it." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yuliang only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't help muttering: "No, no, Jinan won't fall." There were more than 200,000 people in the city. If you levy people to defend the city, how can you also levy tens of thousands of people! ”
"Yes, it is still possible to levy tens of thousands of people to defend the city. However, don't forget that it takes two or three years for a strong man to go from being conscripted into the army to becoming a qualified soldier. Moreover, even so, when you go to the battlefield for the first time, you will be scared to pee your pants, and you will have no combat effectiveness at all. Back then, Qi Jiguang once said that if you can go to the battlefield, have spit in your mouth, stand firm, and hold weapons, you can be considered a strong army. Even the Qi family's army was like this at the beginning, not to mention the people who were hurriedly recruited. Sun Yuan said awe-inspiringly: "Therefore, if you don't save it, you will think that Jinan will fall." ”
Speaking of this, a big thunder suddenly sounded in his heart: Today is the first day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, if I remember correctly, Jinan seems to have fallen in the past few days. What is the first grade, but I am annoyed that I didn't read carefully, but I can't remember it. Anyway, it was in the first half of January, but not the 10th of January.
The tragedy of Jinan City when it was broken is recorded in great detail in the book. It is said that after the Qing army captured Jinan, which was empty, the German king of the city, Zhu Youshu, was captured and later escorted to Shenyang. Political envoy Zhang Bingwen, deputy envoy Deng Qianji and Zhou Zhixun, and Tang Shixiong and prefect Gou Haoshan were killed. After the Qing soldiers robbed the city of Jinan, they were not satisfied, and directly set a fire to the entire city.
When the Qing army was attacking the city, because the people in the city went to the city to defend, Jiannu paid a lot of price. After the red-eyed Jiannu entered the city, he began to slaughter the city. In just ten days, the city was slaughtered. According to historical records, there are 130,000 corpses in the city.
Jinan was the first provincial capital to fall since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was also the first big city to be slaughtered.
The fall of Jinan not only caused serious damage to Shandong, but also greatly threatened Caoyun, and more importantly, Jiannu opened a precedent for massacres. That is, from this moment on, Jiannu has completely transformed into an army of beasts, which is why there are later Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, and then Sichuan was slaughtered by the Qing army to only about 300 households in an unprecedented tragedy.
The massacre in Jinan had a serious impact on the psychology of both warring parties, and since then, Jiannu has been accustomed to speaking with butcher knives. And the Ming army was even more fearful of the Qing army's ferocity like a tiger, which led to the collapse of the Qing army after entering the customs, and they all defected to the Tartars.
This is no longer a civil war in the usual sense or a war between the two countries, starting from this massacre, the war of the Ming Dynasty to establish a state has evolved into a war of extermination, and has evolved into an unprecedented catastrophe for the Han nation.
There was no China after Yashan, and there was no Hanmin after the Ming Dynasty.
The 130,000 bloody corpses were just a number in the book in the eyes of Sun Yuan in the past. After traveling to the Ming Dynasty and experiencing several bloody battles, he realized what the concept of 130,000 lives was.
What is the blood flowing like a river, the blood of 130,000 people is enough to penetrate Jinan.
Such a tragedy must not happen.
However, I, Sun Yuan, only have 2,000 soldiers on hand, what can I do. Even if it does, is it too late?
After Sun Yuanyi's analysis, Liu Yuliang's complexion changed greatly, although he did not understand military affairs. As a cabinet chief, I also know what it means to the Ming Dynasty if Jinan falls?
He stood up with a bang: "The old man immediately went up eight hundred miles and hurriedly delivered it to the Son of Heaven, explaining how powerful this is." Again...... Let Hong Hengjiu and Sun Chuanting bring troops to Shandong as soon as possible...... No, Taichu, you and I will go to Texas immediately and let Gao Qiqian and the Shandong Army send troops as soon as possible. ”
Sun Yuan: "Okay, I'll go right away." ”
A few people didn't dare to delay, and after coming down, Liu Yuliang's urgent report flew out like snowflakes. After a little rectification, he rode straight to Texas on a fast horse.
The Gao Qiqian army has already marched into Texas and fought with Liu Zeqing's troops. The Xuan army was stationed in the plains, Deping, and Lingxian areas.
***********************************************
In fact, Sun Yuan didn't know that the fall of Jinan in real history occurred on the second day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, that is, there was only one day left before that massacre.
At this moment, it is said that the Qing army attacked Jinan, and this ancient city has reached its final moment.
It's too late to do anything now.
However, if Sun Yuan had clairvoyance, he could find that at the same time, although the offensive and defensive battles in Jinan were as fierce and cruel as recorded in real historical records, the Qing army did not seem to do their best, and the Ming defenders in the city also fought well.
"Boom, boom, boom!" A Qing artillery shot at the city.
Solid stone bullets smashed on the city wall, and every time one fell, the entire city wall trembled visibly. There are already wall tiles that keep falling.
There was a crowd of black people everywhere, and the Qing army carried the ladder and shouted and rushed forward.
The Ming soldiers in the city hurriedly threw down the wooden rolling stones, but at this moment, more than a thousand Qing soldiers suddenly gathered together and shot at the same time with their big bows drawn and shot towards the city. Raindrop-like feather arrows were inserted into the city and into the Ming army.
Someone kept wailing and falling from above, smashing on the shield of the Qing army in front of him, which had already been connected to the top of his head.
One, then another, and then the tenth ladder rested on the wall. The Qing soldier with the waist knife in his mouth had red eyes, and climbed the ladder with both hands to climb towards it.
"Ah, ah, kill slaves, kill slaves!" A Ming army general stood behind a pheasant moat, brandishing a spear and shouting loudly.
But at this moment, there was a "bang", and a cannon shot over.
Smoke and dust.
By the time the smoke was blown away by the wind, the pheasant moat had disappeared, leaving only a semicircular gap. Flesh and blood were dripping down from above, and the Ming soldiers behind the gap were nowhere to be seen.
"The city is going to be broken!"
Outside the city, the people inside the city were shouting, but the shouts outside the city were full of cheers, and the city was full of despair.
"Good!" On a high ground outside the city, Qing army generals wearing red and white cotton armor were everywhere, and everyone shouted with joy.
The handsome flag was flying, and Yue Tuo was standing under it, his face crumbling extremely tightly.
"Congratulations, Jinan can be regarded as a winner!" At this time, a man dressed as a slave in a patched linen shirt crumbled out with a flattering face.
The man's tattered linen shirt was covered with black congealed blood, and there were two whip marks on his face, and his face was so blue and swollen that he could no longer see his original appearance.
For his flattery, Yue Tuoli also ignored it.
But a general beside him whipped with a whip. While smoking, he also scolded: "Fuck you, Kong Zhao, you dog, useless Laipi dog, you can't hold the town with five thousand fucking horses, and you were wiped out by two thousand Han dogs." The doglegs of your Han Army Banner are dead, and grandpa will not frown. But the belongings in Botou Town have been our hard work for more than a month, and now they have all been ruined by you, a brute. ”
His strength was so great, he only whipped twice, and Kong Zhao's body bloomed, and he rolled all over the ground in pain: "Spare your life, spare your life, General Yue Tuo, grandpa, grandpa, my grandfather, please look at my uncle's face, spare the slave this time!" The minions don't dare anymore...... If the slave is dead, he will not be able to serve the marquis in the future. ”
That's right, this person is Kong Zhao, since he was completely defeated by Sun Yuan in Botou Town, he fled back to Yuetuo's old camp in a hurry with a few remnants of the army.
Suffered such a big defeat and lost so much property. Yue Tuo was furious, changed his previous kindness and gentleness, ordered someone to whip him half to death, and then directly demoted him from the general of the Han army banner to a slave.
