Chapter 524: Battle of Songyue Mountain (2)
The Qing army on duty used the fortifications to slightly block the Tuanshan army for a quarter of an hour, and a large number of Qing troops who had just woken up from their sleep also continued to fight.
For a while, dense gunfire rang out on Songyue Mountain, and the shouts and killings of the Tuanshan army were also endless. Because it was a night battle, even though there was a bonfire lighting, it could not be compared with the daytime, so the target of the fire gun was basically in a state of blindness.
The regimental mountain army Gao Yuanliang attacked from the east, and although the dense projectiles were not accurate, they had a killing area, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses in the first few rounds.
In charge of the defense of the position on the east side is Shang Kexi's younger brother Shang Kelu, who is only two years younger than Shang Kexi, but his temperament is very different from Shang Kexi.
In fact, Shang Kexi's family is not an out-and-out traitor family, and his brother Shang Kejin is also a famous Liaodong general in history. When Chongzhen was still happy in the fifth year and had not yet "surrendered" to my Qing Dynasty, Shang Kejin was martyred in the battle with Houjin. Maybe he felt that his brother was too middle-class, so he ended up being defeated and killed, but Shang Kexi would not commit two, so under the persuasion of Kong Youde, he quickly voted for Jiannu.
Shang Kelu has been friends with his eldest brother Shang Kejin since he was a child, and he was also quite influenced by him, and he was deeply ashamed of his second brother Shang Kexi's betrayal of the enemy. It's just that at that time, "I Daqing" was strong, and Shang Kelu had no choice but to follow the crowd and follow his second brother to Tartar.
However, at this time, at that time!
Shang Kelu looked at the densely packed Tuanshan army, so nervous that his palms were full of sweat, and he couldn't make a decision!
A lieutenant surnamed Li beside him had an anxious look on his face, and he rubbed his hands in a hurry: "General Shang, success or failure is here." Please also make a quick decision! ”
Shang Kelu's face turned pale, and he was speechless. The previous refinement of the Tuanshan Army had already looked for him. If it is said that it is an uprising, the past can be blamed.
Shang Kelu also wanted to mention some conditions at that time. It was best to find a half-official position in the Tuanshan Army, but he was rejected by the people in the Tuanshan Army. The bottom limit given by Tuan Shanjun is to allow Shang Kelu to be a rich man, nothing more. Even Shang Kexi's life can't be guaranteed, just to ensure that he is still the top head.
The people on the Tuanshan Army side said that as far as his life was still worry-free, or for the sake of his eldest brother Shang Kejin, it was impossible to agree to any further requests.
Shang Kelu was angry in his heart, now he is the chief military officer of my Qing Dynasty, and there are many ways to get money, why do you want to go to Liaodong to be a rich man in the countryside? Such harsh conditions for an "uprising". Shang Kelu naturally did not agree.
But now the momentum of the Tuanshan army's attack is very fierce, and it is about to be unbearable, so what should I do?
While Shang Kelu was at both ends of the first rat, Gao Yuanliang was also paying close attention to the situation in front of the position. It is best to avoid losses and capture the position without blood, so the soldiers on Gao Yuanliang's side mainly shoot from a distance, and have not yet launched a charge.
However, Shang Kelu did not hang the white flag on his side, indicating that he was still hesitating.
Gao Yuanliang knew that the Ministry of Intelligence had had several contacts with Shang Kelu, and Shang Kelu's attitude was ambiguous. did not agree to the request of the Tuan Shan Army, but did not directly refuse. If you want to talk about this rebellion work, you have to start with Xu Jingping, the intelligence minister of Tuanshan Fort.
When Zhang Zhang brought Princess Changping from Beijing to Liaodong, Xu Jingping, who had been courting the Western cannon master Tang Ruowang outside, also returned to Jinzhou City.
This time, she succeeded in convincing John Tang to join the Tuanshan Fort system, and John Tang was also in charge of casting cannons in the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal.
According to the previous arrangement of tension. Xu Jingping, who once was in charge of the Sun Moon Pavilion, served as the supreme officer of the intelligence department of Tuanshan Fort, responsible for the intelligence work of the Tuanshan Army. And Xu Jingping's biggest move after taking office was to plot against the enemy generals.
It's a covert front. If successful, it will bring huge benefits. However, tension sets a few principles. That is, the biggest traitors do not need to rebel, and the focus of the work of the intelligence department of the Tuanshan Army is on the middle-level generals of the enemy army. The relatively "not so bad" group of people.
For example, this Shang Kelu, although he is the younger brother of the big traitor Shang Kexi, he does much less evil than his second brother, and his eldest brother Shang Kejin is also a hero, so Xu Jingping focused his work on him.
It's just that the conditions that the Tuanshan Army can offer are really not attractive, just to ensure personal safety, give a little money to settle down, and be a rich man. At first, everyone didn't quite understand why this Nima Zhang was so stingy, even if it was just to seal a small official, he had never seen such a woo person.
However, Zhang Li didn't care at all, and his instructions to the intelligence department of Tuanshan Fort were that people's desires are endless, but with endless desires, life and death must be the most important thing. If these traitors and two dogs want to change their past wrongs and return to the right, the Tuan Shan Army also welcomes them, but they only ensure the safety of their personal lives, and at most they will issue a small amount of money to settle down.
Defy? That's natural, these people are all used to being prosperous and rich, how can they be willing? It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, beat until you're convinced!
The goals of the Tuanshan Army's rebellion are also divided into three grades depending on the situation:
Those who have made up their minds to hug the thighs of the Tuanshan Army and cooperate with the actions of the Tuanshan Army without starting the war can be given a condition for surrendering to sincerity -- more money for the settlement family;
At the beginning of the war, those who surrendered were called the Front-of-the-Line Rebellion - there was not much money to settle down;
And those who have already started fighting and have taken refuge can only be regarded as surrendering -- those who surrender do not have the money to settle down, and they do not even have personal freedom, and they must go to Tieshan Fort to mine and undergo labor reform. Of course, life is still guaranteed.
The traitors at the end of the Ming Dynasty were no different from the traitors of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Zhang always felt that he was not very satisfied with the treatment of the traitors after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and many traitors turned into generals or officials on the **** side, and they were really speechless.
Therefore, the conditions for the "uprising" set by the Tuanshan army were still quite harsh, almost depriving these people of all their rights and only ensuring the safety of their lives.
With the repeated victories of the Tuanshan army, there were many people on the Tartar side who took the initiative to find a way to ask for attachment, but Zhang Zhang did not want to easily agree to these people with their own ghosts. Even Xu Jingping's desk still has several documents on the Manchu Jiala Zhangjing's refuge - of course, those turtle grandsons are still thinking about continuing to be powerful and prosperous after defecting to the Tuanshan Army, how can Xu Jingping agree to them?
Anyway, the current conditions are such conditions, love does not come, if it does not come, just wait......
Gao Yuanliang saw that Shang Kelu didn't have the intention of surrendering to sincerity, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart: Damn, it's shameless, right?! (To be continued.) )
