Chapter 528 The merit is in the nation, and the merit is in the country
Yang Xiuqing sat paralyzed on his horse, looked up, there were red cavalry in front of him, the ground rumbled and shook, and the whistling cavalry had already flooded the artillery position of the Taiping Army, and was rushing towards the Chinese army where he was! The guards of the camp had formed a hollow phalanx around Yang Xiuqing to protect Yang Dongwang's group. However, the lancers of the Ming army did not attack the phalanx of the camp, but turned around to attack the small Taiping army that was still holding on to the battlefield.
Yang Yiqing, who was covered in blood, retreated with dozens of personal soldiers, crying and howling for Yang Xiuqing to leave quickly, the assault of the cuirass and heavy cavalry of the Ming army had completely collapsed the army under his command, and there were only dozens of personal soldiers left around him, and Li Kaifang, who commanded in front with him, was missing, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Although there were still tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers on the battlefield, they were no longer an organized army.
In addition to Yang Yiqing, there are also many "old brothers" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who are struggling to retreat to the location of Yang Xiuqing's banner, as if His Royal Highness the Eastern King under this banner has any way to reverse the collapse in front of him - yes, he should have a way! He is the fourth favorite son of God the Father! Now Heavenly Father, his old man, can watch King Yang Dong let the pig demon be arrested? These pillars of the heavenly kingdom who believe in worshipping God and believe that the king of heaven and the king of the east are gods and not people have continuously gathered around Yang Xiuqing. It's not to defend the East King, but to make the East King show miracles.
"King of the East! Come on! Come on...... When you go back to Beijing, let's ask Heavenly Father for help! ”
Yang Xiuqing almost sat on the horse, and Yang Yiqing knew that the old man of the Heavenly Father Emperor God was very busy with work and was often away from home. It's not something you can ask if you want to. And even if you get it, you may not be able to resist the big pig monster...... Didn't the Jade Emperor also be hit to heaven by a monkey's head?
Look at Yang Xiuqing's lack of reaction. Yang Yiqing simply stepped forward in person to drag the reins of Yang Xiuqing's mount. dragged Yang Xiuqing to the northwest to retreat, there is still a large camp of the Taiping Army, as well as 10,000 left-behind troops, plus the 2,000 battalions here, can always protect Yang Xiuqing to escape the Yellow River first, right? There are still soldiers of Lin Fengxiang, Lin Qirong and Hu Yihuang in the north of the Yellow River, there is also a defender of the Dongdian Army in Beijing, and there are still soldiers of the East King in Shanxi and Shaanxi, so there should be room for redemption. It's a big deal, let Daming be a king of peace!
As soon as Yang Xiuqing left, the thousands of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom brothers who had just gathered also retreated in a chaotic manner. As soon as they retreated, the situation on the battlefield was even more one-sided, and those Taiping troops who had not completely collapsed also lost the courage to resist, and they all fled in chaos.
"The edict of the Son of Heaven said: Those who descend will not die! Those who descend will not die! ”
At this time, the shouts of "those who surrender will not die" also sounded around the battlefield, and the "death-free flags" that had been prepared for a long time were also hung out. The Taiping Army and Zhu Ming were originally allies, although the high-level leaders of the two sides became rivals in order to fight for the world, but for the lower-level Taiping officers and soldiers, Zhu Ming was not a mortal enemy. These Taiping soldiers were rebels against the Qing Dynasty, not against the Ming Dynasty - everyone knows the way. Anyone who is the emperor can't tolerate those who rebel against him, but he doesn't kill the opponent who competes with him for the world. When Zhu Jishi and Yang Xiuqing negotiated before, they promised to give Yang Xiuqing the title of king, what else are they worried about?
Immediately afterwards, the shouts rang out again, but the content was different: "Chen Yu, the young general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who captured Daoguang alive, has been named the hero of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Because of the capture of Daoguang alive, Chen Yucheng is regarded as the "star" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and everyone knows about it. I didn't expect that now he also surrendered to Daming, and he was made a marquis! It seems that the big tomorrow really doesn't plan to embarrass the big guys!
There were more and more Taiping officers and soldiers on the battlefield who had this idea, and finally some people began to throw away their weapons and sit in the snow and no longer resist. Those gray-clothed Ming infantry really didn't come up to do harm, but just took their weapons and let them wait for the Ming army to receive them.
……
Zhu Jishi rode on an Arab military horse, and in front of him knelt a row of generals wearing the clothes of senior generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and a young general of the Heavenly Kingdom covered a thigh stained red with blood, looking at Zhu Jishi with vicious eyes.
Those generals were the leaders of the original Twist Army, and Su Tianfu and Gong Deshu were among them.
Zhu Jishi ignored them, but just persuaded Chen Yucheng: "I am brothers with the King of Heaven and the King of the East, and I will oppose the Manchus to save the Han people in the world." However, there are no two kings in the country, and there are no two kings in the people, so there is no battle today, and you have fought for the king of the east so far, why bother to give your life again? Er Sheng captured Daoguang, the merit is in the world, it is to avenge the Ming Dynasty, to be angry for the Han people in the world, even if you don't surrender, I will also make you a hero, give Er Liangtian 3,000 acres, should be a Tianfu house, I will pay 30,000 silver dollars out of my own pocket, and live a good life in the future. ”
Su Tianfu and Gong Deshu heard this, glanced at each other, and provoked a thumb in their hearts, this great tomorrow really has the capacity to accommodate the world, the king of heaven and the king of the east is much worse than him, this emperor should be someone else's.
Chen Yucheng is only a teenager now, and he was probably brainwashed by the East King, how could Zhu Jishi convince him in a few words? He snorted and said, "This pig demon has betrayed his father, and sooner or later he will go to hell, although I die, I can go to heaven to enjoy happiness!" ”
Zhu Jishi smiled bitterly and shook his head, this brainwashing really has to start from the doll. He waved his hand and commanded: "Send the hero Hou down to treat his injuries, and when his leg is healed, give him a horse and some money, and if he wants to go to Hong Xiuquan, he will also go." Saying that, he said to Chen Yucheng in a deep voice: "I will never spare you a second time!" ”
Chen Yucheng laughed: "I won't go to the king of heaven, I want to go to Yingtianfu to enjoy happiness, but I don't work for Er Daming, and I eat and drink for nothing to kill this pig demon." ”
Zhu Jishi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and pointed at Chen Yucheng and said: "If you don't kill this kid, it's too cunning, and when you come to Yingtian, you must send you to study in the academy and know more truth." ”
After Chen Yucheng was taken down, Zhu Jishi smiled and said to Su Tianfu and Gong Deshu: "The two of them have also made meritorious contributions in Huaxian County, but they can't be compared with the hero Hou, so I will make the two of them earls, give them a thousand acres of land, a house, and go to Yingtian to live in peace." ”
"We're thanking you." The two leaders of the Twist Army have been subdued, and their Twist Army is rampant in the Central Plains with horse warfare, and now they are beaten to the ground by the Daming Iron Cavalry, what else do they have to worry about? It's not bad to have an earl for a peaceful birthday, anyway, they each have a lot of savings, and it's enough to spend a lifetime of drinking.
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves next to him, and then Luo Xuan's excited voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Yang Xiuqing has fled the battlefield, the Taiping army has completely collapsed, and there are countless descendants, only thousands of people fled with Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing's main force is finished, even Yang Xiuqing himself can't run." ”
Zhu Jishi turned his head to look at Luo Xuan, this general from the Heaven and Earth Association was full of excitement at this time, Zhu Jishi nodded and said, "Have the casualties of each division been counted?" Our Guards suffered a lot of losses in this battle, right? ”
Luo Xuan's expression also darkened a little: "Your Majesty, more than 1,000 brothers were killed in the First Guards Division, 800 people were lost in the Second Guards Division, 300 light cavalry brigades were also lost, and the three Guards Cavalry Brigade suffered the least losses, which were less than 200 ...... Combined with the losses of the rest of the divisions, more than 2,300 people were killed in this battle alone! ”
Zhu Jishi nodded and said, "Order the whole army, the infantry to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded...... Not only our wounded must be saved, but theirs must also be saved, and then the prisoners will be gathered together for good care. The cavalry was all gathered up, and there was no need to pursue Yang Xiuqing anymore. ”
Luo Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Your Majesty, really let Yang Xiuqing go back to Beijing?" In case he recovers from his injuries and comes back......"
Zhu Jishi waved his hand: "He has no chance, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has no chance...... We have grabbed this world, but this is just a new beginning, it is no longer the time of Emperor Hongwu, in today's world, there are many great powers, strong enemies are around, we must seize the time to lay a good foundation for a strong country, and the northwest has no energy and financial resources to deal with it for the time being, so let the Taiping King manage it first.
