Zheng Kezhang was not as eager to see Kangxi's end as the front-line officers and soldiers imagined, and the fruits of victory had to be tasted slowly to be delicious enough, so he was not in a hurry at all before he went north from Kaifeng after getting the news that Tang Baoyi's troops had defeated Yinzhen and Yinzhen in Linxi, and it was already noon on the 19th when he arrived at the periphery of Anyang.
Seeing the appearance of the tricolor flag representing the Chinese imperial family, the morale of the Xia army suddenly reached a boiling Cheng dù, and the cheers that soared into the sky made the Yinxiang Department of the Qing army, which had been trapped in the lonely city, change color.
Of course, Zheng Kezhang didn't think about the thoughts of Yinxiang and his subordinates, he just asked about the current situation with concern.
The situation is of course a very good, after seeing Yinzhen's body and getting the promise of those who surrender to avoid death, the new battalion of the green battalion that was designated to guard the Daimyo's Mansion and the sluggish Xia army soon mutinied, and the commanders at all levels of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner were killed, and the rest then opened the city gate and surrendered, so far the 110,000 horses and horses of the Qing army's Daimyo Battalion no longer existed, and only a very small number of fish that slipped through the net were still fleeing under the pursuit of the Xia army.
"Lord Chen Baoquan has previously announced that he will lead four divisions and six artillery regiments to escort more than 300 large and small artillery pieces and Yinzhen's corpse discarded by the Qing army to Anyang to join the division." Xia Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Xia army on the front line of Zhangde, reported. "In addition, Lord Tang Baoyi has also transferred the Third Division of the Guangwei Army and the Second Division of the Tianwu Army to escort the more than 50,000 Qing troops captured in the Battle of Linxi to Zhangde."
Zheng Kezhang thought for a while and asked, "When will Yinzhi be escorted to Zhangde?" ”
On the side, Master Hanlin replied: "Yinzhi was originally escorted to Kaifeng, and before the Holy Driver moved to Zhangde, he had already ordered a notice to transfer him, and it is estimated that he will arrive tomorrow at the earliest." ”
Zheng Kezhang nodded: "After the escort arrives, I will disappear, arrange for him to go to Anyang City to persuade him to surrender, if Yinxiang is willing to open the city to surrender, I will allow him and a group of Manchu and Han civil and military forces not to die, as for the prisoners escorted by Tang Baoyi, I am not ready to attack the city, so I don't need to send it to Zhangde anymore, just send it directly to various mines." ”
Master Hanlin recorded Zheng Kezang's orders one by one, and someone would carry them out: "In addition, Yide and Guangping Mansion, who dedicated the city, can forgive him for his immortality, and go to Jinlan Province to enrich his household registration, as for the various departments of the Green Banner soldiers of the Daimyo anyway, they are also resettled in Jinlan, Beiboni, Xiboni and Lingyamen. ”
After deciding the fate of these people, Zheng Kezhang asked Xia Yu: "How many troops does our army have in Zhangde now?" ”
"Before, Lord Chen Baoquan had already transferred two divisions over, and now with the Janissaries of Suihu, and then deducting the division from Guangping in the north, our army should have more than 90,000 people outside Anyang City." Xia Yu said that this had already understood Zheng Kezang's thoughts. "The saint is worried about Yinxi, Yinxiang in the city, or desperately going out of the city to counterattack? Please rest assured that if it had been two days ago, the Qing army might have been able to succeed in the counterattack, but now that the siege ditch and the breastwork have been largely completed, the Qing army has already been unable to escape. ”
"In that case, Yinxi Yinxiang is a decision to be martyred for the Qing Dynasty?" Zheng Kezhang muttered to himself. "But if you should try, you still have to give it a try, even if you can't persuade you to surrender, you can disturb the morale of the defending city and the Qing army."
"What the Holy One said is very true." Xia Yu echoed. "When I saw that the commanders of the two sides of the friendly department were killed and captured, the Qing army was bound to be depressed."
"Maybe it's a mourning army." With the victory already decided, Zheng Kezhang was not blindly optimistic. "Once it becomes a long-term siege, it will be troublesome??????"
Zheng Kezang's trouble was just a small trouble, but Yinxiang in Anyang City was in big trouble, and those Manchurian nobles who were suppressed by him by force finally noticed that something was wrong, and blocked the door to let him explain the current situation: "Thirteen elder brothers, you don't have to hide it from us, now the reinforcements from Hai Cheng are coming, and even Zheng Cheng himself has come to the front line of Anyang, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court has been defeated, and we are already turtles in the urn." ”
The agitated Eight Banner generals shouted angrily: "Thirteen Elder Brother, the day the Eighth Elder Brother ran, you knew that the battle situation was unfavorable, why did you hide us to this day, now we can't escape, and the army of the imperial court is completely finished, you, you are betraying the Qing Dynasty, you, what are your intentions???????"
The unfinished words were interrupted by a slap from Yinxiang: "What kind of intentions is Brother Ben, can you be accused of being a minion?" That's right, Brother Ben knew early on that all sides were defeated, so Eighth Brother ran, but did you think you could outrun Xia Jun? I'm afraid that before Guangping has passed, the first army will be dispersed, and at that time, won't it also die without a place to be buried? ”
Someone muttered in a low voice, "Then there is always a chance, it's much better than being detained here." ”
Yinxiang is playing with the wreckage of the window. Chlorine タ Shen play
The guards immediately rushed out and held down the man, dragging him down, and in a few moments he was presented one step at a time.
"You are all full of people, after the Qing Dynasty is over, what good life do you have," Yinxiang knew that he would not be convinced by this, so he sat down and asked lightly. "You said that if you fled at the beginning, can you escape to Beijing now?" The answer, of course, is no. "Then besides, if Anyang insists on holding on for a long time and restrains the army of sea rebellion, can the old and young masters of Beijing City escape a few more to go to the northeast?"
There was an instant silence in the room that was once a little noisy, yes, Yinxiang put a dilemma in front of everyone, since the overall situation is irreversible, then for his own life, the Xia army has rich troops to go straight to Beijing, or in order to let his family escape, he will stick to the place of death.
The so-called authorities are fascinated, and it took a long time for someone to come to their senses, and Yinxiang had actually chosen the latter for everyone.
However, some people still agree with this choice, and Yin Da, the deputy capital of Mongolia with the Yellow Banner, stood up to support Yinxiang: "I still have two little cubs at home, if the Xia army captures Beijing and slaughters my Manchurians, I'm afraid they won't survive, I can only hope that they can escape to the outside of the pass before the Xia army arrives in Beijing??????"
The deputy commander of Manchuria with a white flag, Wu He, said to Yinxiang: "Thirteen masters, the slave is muddy, not a thing, but please rest assured that the thirteenth master, since the slave understands, he naturally knows how to do it." ”
Wu He stood up and hugged his fist at the military attachés of the Eight Banners on the side: "My lords, everyone eats the Qing Dynasty's Yulu, the court has not broken our hardcore crops in such a difficult situation, some people will say that this is our ancestors who worked hard for the Qing Dynasty, that's not bad, but the ancestors can be born and die for the Qing Dynasty, can't we?" The current situation is already like this, and no matter how much you say or scold, you can't change it, so it's time to die with your backbone straight. ”
The commander of the left wing of the internal firearms battalion and the deputy commander of Manchuria with the yellow flag, Da Luo, who had a conflict with Yinxiang, also stood up and said: "Please rest assured, the Thirteenth Master is nothing more than a dead word, and the slave will never disgrace the ancestors." ”
Under the leadership of these people, all the Manchurian nobles who originally came to force the palace changed their attitudes, and one by one they impassionedly stated that they wanted to live and die with Anyang, of course, how many of them are credible, it is unknown. But at least after such a fuss, Yinzhi's appearance the next day did not cause everyone's surprise.
"Someone," looking at Yinzhi who shouted loudly to the city under the coercion of Xia Jun, Yinxiang's face showed a heavy sadness mixed with disdain, and after half a day, Yinxiang shouted loudly. "Pass on my general's order, just say that the sea rebellion will not succeed in spreading rumors, and use fake people to shake the hearts of our army, therefore, Ben Beizi will personally hold the cannon and bombard it under the city!"
After that, Yinxiang walked to the gunner at the head of the city, adjusted the cannon body with his own hands, aimed it at Yinzhi's location, loaded it with gunpowder shells, and then burned on the fire door, the cannon body suddenly jumped back, and the shells immediately came out of their disembowels and bombarded the city. Yinxiang is obviously not a god robe, and this shot did not hit. However, before Yinzhi could react, under Yinxiang's order, more than a dozen cannonballs were fired in the city, and finally one jumped up and wiped Yinzhi's body and knocked the Xia army behind him to the ground.
"Old eight, old thirteen, you are so ruthless." Yinzhi, whose chest was completely deflated by the residual strength of the shell, fell down with difficulty breathing, but laughed when he was about to die. "Speaking of which, the third brother actually wants to thank you??????"
With the artillery fire to disperse the Xia army, the city gate of Anyang opened, more than a dozen Qing soldiers rushed out, lifted Yinzhi's body and ran to the city, but the heavy artillery of the Xia army has been aimed at here from afar, as soon as the Qing army came out to grab the corpse, the artillery was immediately chaotic, and the Qing army was also beaten to the head, and even Yinzhi's body was broken into two.
Yinxiang saw it clearly in the city, and ordered to stop the Qing army from sending people to rob the corpse again, but ordered someone to take a pot of wine and two cups, fill each one, and then hold up one of them and said: "Third brother, you just have to go on the road first, thirteen me, I will come to accompany you soon, I hope that when the time comes, you don't blame me??????"
Yinxiang's determination made Zheng Kezang breathtaking, it seems that the Manchurians are not only extremely cruel to the Chinese people, but also ruthless to their own compatriots and siblings, in this case, Yinzhen's corpse does not have to be displayed, otherwise let Yinxiang continue to show Xiàn, it will dampen the morale of the besieging Xia army.
Zheng Kezhang was regretting, but the cavalry defeated the Yinyu Division, and now the military report of the Yinzhen corpse finally arrived in his hands, and he immediately spread the news with a sigh of relief, and in the thunderous cheers again, Zheng Kezhang ordered: "Tang Baoyi transferred the five divisions of soldiers and horses to the south to encircle Anyang, and left the two divisions to occupy various prefectures and counties, and the rest of the divisions directly took Beijing and Tianjin; and then ordered the three divisions of the existing Daimyo Mansion to return to Jianghuai, Zhongzhou, and Fujian provinces; After completing the task of escorting the Qing prisoners, the 3rd Division of the Guangwei Army and the 2nd Division of the Tianwu Army returned to defend Jiangnan; After handing over the captured prisoners to Tangbu, the cavalry troops advanced to Xuanhua and Yuguan respectively??????"
