Chapter 120: Sad, Da Ming

Yan'an Mansion, the source of the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other famous peasant army leaders in the late Ming Dynasty, most of them originated here.

Since the Dashun army captured Xi'an, Yan'an Mansion was the first state capital to be conquered, and then, Li Zicheng felt the importance of Yan'an Mansion, especially stationed here 5,000 troops, but this originally belonged to the Dashun Army, but now there is a group of Ming soldiers.

"Mr. Tong, how is it, everything is settled, and you haven't let go of any fish that have slipped through the net!" Sitting in the lobby, which was still a little chaotic, Shi Lei asked while drinking tea happily.

Hearing Shi Lei's question, Tong Chenfu, who had just walked in, immediately saluted and said, "My lord, everything is in accordance with the prior arrangement, and the entire Yan'an Mansion has been blocked, not only that, but within twenty miles around, I have also arranged for rangers to patrol day and night, and intercept all the messengers of the Dashun Army, in case someone sends a message to Yulin." ”

"Okay, that's fine, as long as we can hold on for a month, then the plan will be done." Shi Lei wiped the tea off his mouth with his hand, and then said excitedly.

Regarding Shi Lei's excitement, Tong Chenfu asked hesitantly, "My lord, are you really sure that Li Chuang's army will be able to attack the city of Beijing within a month, you know, now they have just captured Taiyuan, not to mention anything else, there are Datong, Xuanfu, and other important towns behind Taiyuan."

These places are not ordinary states and counties, these places are border places, and they have elite soldiers, although they are not as strong as Li Chuang's army, but they can still do it if they want to stop their progress.

If Li Chuang did not arrive at Beijing as scheduled, but we had already launched an attack, then when he heard the danger of the back road, he might give up the Eastern Crusade and lead his troops back, in that case, we would have no way out, and there would be no other way but to fight to the death. ”

"Don't worry, rest assured, Mr. Tong, it's been so long, have you seen me do something I'm not sure of, I said that Li Chuang can attack the city of Beijing within a month, but it's not nonsense, what you said is indeed right, Datong, Xuanfu These places are indeed important places, and there are many elite soldiers, but you must know that in dangerous places, you must also rely on people to guard.

Do you think that with the morale of the Ming army now, they can still hold on, I don't think Li Chuang's army will feel that these wall grasses are about to fly the white flag and surrender, I know these spineless people very well. Shi Lei said lightly.

It is no wonder that Shi Lei is so sure, not to mention the records in the history books of later generations, just say that for the dark and corrupt behavior in the current officialdom, there are a few people who are willing to fight for their lives to maintain a dynasty that is about to collapse, and it can be seen from the situation in Shaanxi that as soon as Xi'an was captured by Li Zicheng's army, the surrounding states and counties surrendered one after another, otherwise Li Zicheng's million army, most of which were surrendered to the Ming army in the past

"Open the cannon, open the cannon, shoot them for me, yes, that's how it was fought, it's fucking good, whoever fights it will come to me to receive the reward." Shanxi, under the city of Wuning Pass, all kinds of shouts and killings, the sound of fighting resounded all over the place, and from time to time there was a shocking cannon sound.

Wuning Pass garrisoned the city is from Daizhou retreat to here Zhou Yuji, I have to say, in the late Ming Dynasty, similar to Zhou Yuji such generals are too few, many Ming officials, whether in the face of various rebels, or the later Manchu Eight Banners, no matter whether they can resist or not, for their own life and wealth and glory, are Kaicheng to surrender to the enemy, once surrendered, not to mention any national righteousness, even their own backbone and dignity do not know where to lose.

According to the statistics of later historians, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, less than 100 officials really committed suicide and martyrdom, and none of the 10,000 people who were able to continue to lead the army to resist the Qing Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

Compared with the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, 100,000 soldiers and civilians threw themselves into the sea and died in the country, it is really pitiful and lamentable.

After watching another wave of enemy troops retreat under the city, Zhou Yuji felt a little weak all over his body, and sat on the ground helplessly, although he had been here for five days, in these five days, he used his superior firepower to kill and wound tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, and later showed that the enemy was weak, and used the fake surrender strategy to kill thousands of enemy soldiers, which seemed to be infinite, but only he knew the suffering.

There is not much gunpowder in the city, the soldiers who are already scarce, a few big battles have been fought, and there is not much left, it can be said that if it is another time, they are now considered to be finished, but now it is different, for the Ming court that has no power to resist, even if they are desperate, it will not play a role in the overall situation, and now the reason why Wuning Pass can hold on, relying on this hard breath, when this hard breath is gone, that is, when Wuning Pass is broken, Thinking that he would inevitably die after all, Zhou Yuji did not have much fear except for some sighs, but more of a disappointment in the Ming court.

"Listen to the people at the head of the city, on the orders of the king of my Dashun country, come to appease you and others, as long as you are willing to surrender to my Dashun army, we can not blame the past for the previous offense, not only that, the king promised to reuse you, otherwise, wait until the day my army breaks the city, slaughter the whole city, how to choose, you have to think about it, don't regret it at that time, at that time, it will be too late."

Hearing the shout of the general of the Dashun Army under the city, Zhou Yuji didn't say anything, and saw a soldier next to him, raising his hand and lighting a cannon with a torch in his hand, and then he heard an angry shout under the city, and the general who shouted disappeared immediately.

"Bastard, damn thing, come here, pass on the king's order, at all costs, take this damn city for me, when the time comes, I will kill everyone, I don't believe it, until now, how many people dare to resist my Dashun Heavenly Army." After seeing the general under the city die in a different place.

Li Zicheng couldn't help but pull out his waist knife and slashed at a tree in front of him, and the sharp knife instantly split this thick tree in half.

It's no wonder that Li Zicheng is so angry, since he re-emerged from Shangluoshan over the years, it can be said that it has been smooth sailing, it can be regarded as invincible, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Xi'an and other big cities have been broken, and old opponents such as Sun Chuanting were also defeated by him and died on the spot.

After the Eastern Expedition, it was too smooth, three days through the Yellow River natural danger, half a moon to hit the capital of Shanxi Taiyuan City, originally thought that, according to this situation, he could hit the city of Beijing at a very fast speed, but did not expect that he was actually stopped here by such a small city, and a stop is so many days, if he does not take here as soon as possible, maybe the original formation of the prestige will slowly fade.

In this case, it is likely to resurrect the Ming court, which was about to die, you know, after all, the Ming court has been established for nearly three hundred years, and there are still some diehards, so in order to complete the goal as soon as possible, Li Zicheng did not hesitate to issue an order to slaughter the city.

For Li Zicheng's angry order, this time no one came to advise, for Li Zicheng's concerns, Li Yan, Song Xiance and others are also very clear, although too many killings will have an impact on the future, but this is also a way to deter the enemy, if in the future, every city will resist stubbornly, then their eastern crusade will be very difficult.

As the king of Dashun State, Li Zicheng gave an order, that is, Chrysostom Yuyan, in the millions of troops at the expense of casualties, regardless of life and death, how can a Wuning Pass hold on, and finally after holding on for another day, Wuning Pass finally ran out of ammunition, Zhou Yuji led his soldiers through street battles, after the house battle, and finally because of the weak strength, he was seriously injured, and was captured by the Dashun army.

When Zhou Yuji, who was seriously injured, was sent to Li Zicheng, he was still angry and scolded, and was ordered to be hacked to death by Li Zicheng in anger, and afterwards in Wuning Guanzhong, all the Ming troops were ambushed by the Dashun army, and a group of loyal martyrs died tragically in internal friction.

After capturing Wuning Pass in one go, the whole Shanxi was completely turbulent, and the remaining Datong, Xuanfu and other border passes, although the city was high and the walls were thick, and the elite soldiers were strong, but in the face of the powerful and sharp Dashun army, it was also an undercurrent.

Among them, Zhu Chuanji, the acting king of Datong City, and the governor Wei Jingying tried to hold the city, but unfortunately, the governor Jiang Jian had already secretly sent people to surrender to Li Chuang, and at the same time, in order to be able to block the resistance of the acting king Zhu Chuanji and the governor Wei Jingjin, he did not hesitate to separate the two, so as to gain the trust of the acting king, and handed over all the military power of Datong to him, but he did not expect that after Jiang Jianji got the military power, after seeing the appearance of Dashun, he quickly switched to surrender.

And Xuanfu city is even more lively, Xuanfu governor Zhu Zhifeng faced the army of Dashun outside the city, climbed to the head of the city and discussed with the heavy soldiers how to defend the city, but he didn't expect that no one would pay attention to it at all, but he still wanted to offer a reward, hoping that the soldiers would open artillery to bombard the Dashun army outside the city, but what he didn't expect was that no one dared to receive the heavy reward in the face of such a situation, Zhu Zhifeng was extremely sad and angry, and had no choice but to commit suicide in order to save his name.

And after Zhu Zhifeng committed suicide, no one was sad, all of them flocked down, opened the city gate, and welcomed the Dashun army into the city, and the town guard eunuch and the chief military officer who were ordered to come to supervise had already gone with wine and meat to reward the Dashun army.
