Chapter 388: How could this Great Qing Dynasty not martyr a few loyal ministers!
Jiading, Vietnam. The largest city in Nanki!
The land of Long Hung of the Nguyen Dynasty was lost in the First Vietnamese-French War, and it had just been regained for four years.
Looking at the harbor from the sea, the white European-style buildings are so eye-catching. For more than a decade, the imprint of the French on the land has not gradually dimmed as the situation has changed. Instead, with the Nguyen Dynasty's initiative to open Jiading as a foreign port, it became more and more distinct.
Eight warships of various sizes and three huge transport ships sailed into the harbor one after another.
The fleet was flying a crimson flag, instead of the triangular dragon flag representing the Qing Dynasty. But the enthusiasm of the Vietnamese people on the port wharf did not diminish in the slightest.
Lin Yongsheng, Ye Zuqi and others looked calm, and it was not the first time that such a scene had appeared. In the South Seas, the Chinese people in Malacca, Jawa, and Malay seemed to be unaware of the significance of the fleet's flying of the red flag instead of the triangular dragon flag, and gave the fleet the most heartfelt and warm welcome and affection.
Are hundreds of thousands, millions of Chinese really not aware of the 'meaning' of that representation? Of course not! The reason why they are like this is only because it was the Qin army who protected and sheltered them in the first place!
For these Chinese who are adrift in the open sea to survive, the support from the old land of the motherland is extremely inspiring. But from whom does this support come from? Where did it come from? Then it doesn't matter.
What's more, this place in Nanyang is flooded, and many families fled at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In his bones, he was not so respectful to the Manchus. Now that the Qin army is raising the flag against the Qing Dynasty, as long as they can gain power, they will support it more enthusiastically.
And the Nguyen Dynasty people in front of him. This is a group of people who are tied to the Qin army's warship, and they are of course the most enthusiastic supporters of the arrival of the Qin army's warship.
Qiu Baoren was stunned. He is a Minhou person. The hometown is at the foot of Zuo Zongtang. Although both parents were taken to Taiwan, what about the other relatives? If he really obeyed the Qin army, if Zuo Zongtang was ruthless to his relatives, wouldn't he die without redemption?
But if you don't follow Qin Jun, don't talk about your parents, wife and children. In the past two years, Liu Xian has been kind to himself, and he is suspected of being ungrateful.
The only thing Qiu Baoren feels good about now is that with his perception of Liu Xian, Liu Xian does not look like a ruthless person. Even if he refused, Liu Xian would not cut down his family!
Also feeling the same way as Qiu Baoren is Lin Yongsheng, who is a marquis. The Hou Guan belonged to Fuzhou City in later generations. His worries and feelings couldn't be the same as Qiu Baoren's......
In addition, Ye Zuqi, Ye Bojun, Fang Boqian, and Jiang Chaoying are also Houguanren, Xianfeng was born in the second year, and his age is one year older than Qiu Baoren. Huang Jianxun is a native of Yongfu, and Xu Shoushan is a native of Min County. In later generations, both places also belonged to Fuzhou City.
The Fujian Gang was able to appear in the navy at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was really not a joke. A considerable number of these people [graduates of the previous phases of the shipyard] are not only Fujianese, but also children from the surrounding areas of Fuzhou, and they themselves have a strong sense of fellow villagers. After taking power, it seemed logical to form a village party.
Among the thirteen graduates of the first phase of the Shipmaster Academy assigned by Zuo Zongtang to Liu Xian, only Lin Guoxiang, Lu Han, Zhang Cheng, Li Tian, and Li He were from Guangdong Province, and now they can rest assured and boldly obey Liu Xian's orders. The remaining eight people are not only Fujianese. They are all people from the vicinity of Fuzhou.
The fleet is about to arrive in Taiwan. It's time to make up your mind about what kind of choice to make.
……
The former governor of Tainan, Yamen, is now the Marshal of the Qin Army.
Liu Xian looked at the map in front of him. My mind is constantly thinking, thinking. Ten fingers crossed, unconsciously twisted, and the crisp sound of the knuckles appeared from time to time.
Jiangxi, Liu Bingzhang, so fast reaction speed. It's only been more than half a month. The men and horses of Nangan Town drove into Shaozhou. The victory of the general soldier king seems to be quite brave. Although the overall armament of this town is relatively backward.
There is a fold in Liu Xian's hand, which records the personnel, armaments, generals and so on in Nangan Town. Among them, the victorious birth merit of the general soldier king. The markings are clear. Although this person has been exterminated from the Huai Army, he is not considered to be the Huai Army system. Even if there is some connection. It can only be regarded as an external editor. In his official promotion, there are more traces of the banner man all the way. First Dexing, later Guorui and Monk Greenqin, when he was in contact with Huaijun, he was already a battalion general.
However, Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Jiangxi, this is the orthodox Huai army cadre who can no longer be orthodox.
And Liu Kunyi, who was transferred back to Liangjiang from Yunnan and Guizhou two years ago, is now the governor of Liangjiang. There are a number of capable Huai troops under his command.
............, I don't know how long I sat there, whether it was half an hour or an hour. Liu Xian finally had an expression and movements. "Sue Qi Dalin, and wipe out all the areas around Guangzhou within two days." Two days later, Liu Xian will arrive in Guangzhou in person.
Liu Songshan of Huizhou and Jiaying, Zhang Zhaodong of Fogang and Shaozhou, these are two good opponents.
The city of Guangzhou at this time.
Tens of thousands of old troops of the Green Battalion, as well as the supervising and training armies, have been dispersed, surrendered, killed, and captured, and the entire army has been wiped out. In the urban area of Guangzhou, thousands of children of the Eight Banners have fallen. These children of the Eight Banners, who have been rotten for more than 200 years, were also hardened when they wanted the country to be ruined. But after two tough battles, thousands of people were killed, and the 'toughness' of the bannermen was directly beaten away!
Defeat is just around the corner, and Ruilin and Changshan don't care about anything anymore. They themselves asked the troops to raid a street in Guangzhou, and more than a dozen large and tobacco houses were confiscated.
When the city of Guangzhou was broken, the remnants of the Eight Banners New Army, the Green Battalion, the Inspector and the Training Army were open to supplying large quantities and cigarettes. Those who are addicted to smoking have been given enough, and those who are not addicted to smoking have been given enough wine and meat to eat and drink enough and strengthen their courage. Then muskets forced the Qing army to launch a counterattack against the Qin army that had entered the city.
This kind of counterattack is really too weak. In addition to those Eight Banners New Army, the remnants of the Green Battalion, the Inspector, and the Training Army arrived on the battlefield, and more of them threw their guns to the ground and surrendered.
Some of the Eight Banners disciples are really desperate. Just like their predecessors when they were the first crow and the second crow, they really did their best. After all, this Qing Dynasty is their country, and they are all natives of Guangzhou, if the army is defeated by the Qin army, this Guangzhou city will be lost. When the time comes, will their mothers, daughters-in-law and children still have a way to live?
The blood debt when the Eight Banners entered the customs, Liu Xian did not take the initiative to provoke this remark that affected national unity. Then Ruilin Changshan picked himself out. The reason is to scare the flag people, Guangzhou is going to be defeated, and the Han people will definitely take revenge. At the beginning, the Manchu Qing Dynasty washed Guangzhou with blood, but killed 800,000 people......
Although it is still gratifying.
As a result, the flag man was really tough. But alas, the effect is very poor.
Thousands of lives were lost in the Fuyin Temple and the Fourth Fu in front of the west gate, and the deputy capital was directly killed, can the results of the battle have one-tenth of their own casualties?
Now there is a huge Guangzhou, and only the city is left without loss.
More than 50,000 Manchurians gathered here, and there were still 6,000 or 7,000 strong men, and many more were women, children, old and weak.
"Shout to the city, tell Sù Ruilin, Changshan, and surrender obediently, otherwise under the heavy artillery, there will be no tiles!"
Qi Dalin looked at the west gate from the Fuyin Temple, from the city gate to the south, and then to the east to the Fude Gate, this piece is the full city of Guangzhou. Now that the green camp and the training army have all been defeated, and there are tough people in the New Army of the Eight Banners, what else can be counted on in this city?
Surrender now, that is, the Eight Banners will die less. Liu Xian didn't order a bloody massacre or anything, nor did he say a cruel word about the Eight Banners, this group of people needs to be 'reformed through labor', and they also need to be held hostage in their hands.
Therefore, in Qi Dalin's view, it is meaningless to resist all over the city. The surrender of the singles is their best option.
In the governor's yamen, Ruilin's face was pale and embarrassed. One sat on a large chair, as if waiting for death, waiting for the news of the ruins of the city.
There was a cup of tea on the table, and a small porcelain bottle was placed beside it. This is what he has been preparing for a long time. When it's time to be loyal, take drugs and leave, don't trouble your little relatives in Beijing, and also live up to the grace of the Queen Mother Xi for many years.
Ruilin's old surname is Yehenara.
During the Battle of Eryabali Bridge, he led the troops at the same time as Shengbao, and the monk Greenqin. As a result, the Battle of Bali Bridge was defeated, and Ruilin was directly wiped into a white background. After going through the path of Cixi, he regained it. After that, he followed the monk Greenqin to suppress the Shandong twist bandits. Attacked the nest of thieves in Juye Yang Mountain, lost again, retreated to Jining, and was dismissed from his post and recalled to Beijing. Cixi pushed him again.
Therefore, regardless of whether Ruilin is full of people or not, he has no reason not to be loyal to Beijing. And there are three catties of nails in the broken ship, and the huge Guangzhou has been beaten down, how can this Qing Dynasty not martyr a few loyal ministers!?
Time passes little by little. The governor's yamen, which used to be bustling, is now deserted and terrible.
The deputy capital is in charge of the yamen, and the crying and mourning can be heard from afar.
General's Palace. Changshan is facing his own novel: "My family has received the grace of the country, and there is no reason to be a thief when I am old." Today we will go together, and in the future we will see our ancestors underground, and we will not be dishonor......ed."
"Boom-"
A violent explosion drowned out the rest of Changseon's words. He looked at his wife, concubines, sons, and daughters-in-law with dead faces, and then at his trembling grandsons and granddaughters, and felt a violent cramp in his heart.
"That's fate. The Buddha let you be born in this troubled world, in the family of the Tatara clan. You have been prosperous and rich since you were a child, you have eaten and drunk without worry, and you have enjoyed great wealth. Compared with those children who can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, how much superior? It's time to return this cause and effect......"
Just on the west gate. The pain that poured from almost every cell in his body forced Hamming to wake up from his coma, but he didn't dare to open his eyes, the intense dizziness in his head made him want to die. So he preferred to close his eyes to alleviate the vertigo.
Nearby, there were intermittent 'crackling' sounds from time to time, some crisp, some hoarse and blurry, in short, these sounds seemed to have never stopped. There was also a loud roar......
Those with closed eyes did seem to be more efficient at using their other senses, and Hamming could feel the vibrations that arrived almost simultaneously with the roar beneath him.
But at this time, in Ha Ming's mind, there was no Qing Dynasty and no Qin Army at all, and the dizziness made his brain shut down......
"Kill, ......" red flag fluttered over the city walls. (To be continued) R580
