An officer was knocked to the ground again, he clutched his neck, and his mouth made a loud sound, the armor leaf of his neck was torn open, and the gun catapulted in, and blood continued to spurt out, filling the air with the smell of blood.

Every time the platoon roared, there were dead and wounded, screams and wails all around. Eshen's eyes were red, they were all warriors of the Eight Banners, and they didn't even have a chance to show their skills, so they were beaten to death.

The war horse roared, raised its front hooves, and suddenly broke free from Eshen, rushing forward and slamming into it like crazy, kicking and biting. After a while, he ran away with a bloody wound and exposed Eshen who was hiding behind him.

Another volley of firearms struck, and Eshen was knocked down by a personal soldier, but his right leg was in sharp pain, and he fell to the ground and couldn't stand up. A buckshot broke his calf bone, and the flesh was a blur of flesh.

Finished! Eshen was sad in his heart, the long army stretched on the official road, with length but not thickness, was hit by this fierce ambush and suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to gather and charge. Moreover, the Ming army was condescending, and how could the Eight Banners, which were famous for their cavalry shooting, exert their combat power?

The soldiers carried Eshen on their backs and fled to the other side of the official road to avoid the range of the Ming army. At this time, there were already officers who organized soldiers to attack the Ming army on the slope.

There are fewer bullets fired at the official road, and the Ming army is adjusting, and the target is already the Qing soldiers who are charging upward.

A sharp voice resounded in the sky, this horn sound, Da Ming called it a swan sound!

A deafening volley of firearms rang out, and the firecrackers kneeling on one knee in the front and a row of firecrackers standing behind them opened fire together, a row of scorching fires flashed, and dense smoke rose at the same time.

With the loud sound of firearms, this dense salvo caused the Qing soldiers who rushed in front to fall one piece.

The Ming army was based on the terrain. A skirmish-like formation is listed, with four rows of gunners firing in turn, or two volleys depending on the situation, maintaining the density and continuity of fire.

Clouds of blood mist emerged from the Qing soldiers, and they rolled to the ground with a terrible scream. The projectile has little penetrating power, so it is more destructive. They were shot with lead bullets, and most of their internal organs were shattered.

Even the Qing soldiers in front of them, who were heavily armored and holding shields, were also knocked to the ground in large numbers. Even if the buckshot did not penetrate their heavy armor and thick shields, the powerful impact of the projectile, as long as it hit them, all the force had to be borne by their bodies, and where it was hit, even if the projectile did not penetrate the armor. Their bones and internal organs will still be damaged.

A Qing officer stumbled forward with his right side of his chest, blood gushing from there, and a large shield in his left hand. The platoon gun rang out again, and he was hit by several buckshots, threw backwards and flew out, rolling down the slope.

Arrows flew through the air, and screams rang out in the ranks of the Ming army. The dead and wounded were immediately dragged to the back, and more soldiers took their place.

The blow of the range is almost over. The entire front of the Ming army began to shrink horizontally, and the soldiers began to stand in a compact position, so that the attacking Qing soldiers had to face more fierce and dense musket fire.

Martial arts and skills are useless, no matter how fast the action is, it can't be as fast as the lead bullet that comes out of the disembowel, no matter how afraid of death, it is difficult to rush to the front of the Ming army. The Qing soldiers who rushed up from the official road. Without the support of a heavy battle formation, a steady stream of attacks cannot be formed. Like a wave crashing into a reef, it was repelled by the continuous musket fire of the Ming army, leaving miserable corpses in the weeds and bushes on the slopes.

"Rush, kill!" The surrendered generals shouted. Courage and encouragement for himself, under the supervision and command of the Ming army officers, rushed forward, dense slashes and spears indiscriminately, and slaughtered all the Qing soldiers who wanted to bypass the official road.

These Qing soldiers who stepped on weeds and shrubs to bypass the official road had been beaten by the muskets of the Ming army, with heavy casualties, and the rear brigade was attacked again, and there was no follow-up follow-up, but the surrendered generals picked up a bargain.

Eight Banners, is it so vulnerable? The image of the Manchurian Eight Banners, which was once invincible in the eyes of these soldiers, is collapsing, and they are getting stronger and louder.

The Ming army on the slope moved forward, and the long front pressed towards the Qing soldiers like an iron wall. The official road was littered with the corpses of men and horses, and the Qing soldiers who ran to the other side of the official road were all frightened, and their hearts were full of fear and sadness.

The sound of shouting and killing came from a distance, and there was the occasional roar of firearms, and Li Chengjue's subordinates brought a large number of volunteers and Yi Zhi's troops to kill from behind.

It was originally a feint, but the offensive was so smooth that it was jaw-dropping, the Qing army camp had been in chaos, the Ming army and the volunteers had just arrived, there were a large number of soldiers kneeling down and disarming, and there were those who had been killed to invite merit to the Ming army. Li Chengjue, who received the report, knew that the Qing army had completely collapsed, and immediately exhausted the whole army and pursued along the official road.

Finished! Eshen Baturu knew that it would be difficult to escape, and at this time he calmed down. This is not a war, it is really a change in people's hearts! From withdrawing from Lishui, to being blocked, to now, how many nearly 30,000 people have run off the road, how many have surrendered and defected, and how many have actually died in battle?

It's a pity that the warriors of the Eight Banners don't even have the opportunity to gallop on horseback and show their martial arts. E Shen smiled bitterly, stood up with a spear, looked around, and said loudly: "The warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, can there be people who surrender on their knees, are they cowardly and greedy? Now that we have come to this point, we can only fight to the death and sacrifice our lives for the country-" His voice suddenly raised his voice, and he raised his knife in his right hand and roared angrily: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, rush! ”

"Rush!"

There were only more than a thousand Manmeng Eight Banners left, and they broke out in the last madness, holding their weapons, roaring and rushing towards the Ming army on the slope!

"Fire!" The swan sound was followed by the hoarse cries of the officers.

There was a deafening explosion, a volley of firearms, and a storm of lead bullets erupted, exploding a large mist of blood in the ranks of the Qing soldiers.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The command was a roar, so loud that it drowned out the sound of the firing gun.

Rows of firearms continued to spew out thick white smoke, bursts of bombardment, the Qing soldiers were crazy, the Ming army was also crazy, in the cold wind, the pungent gunsmoke, and the disgusting bloody atmosphere. Constantly diffuse and drifting......

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The defeat was like a mountain, and the more than 100,000 Qing troops in Zhejiang were either blocked, intercepted, or pursued on the way to retreat, and the wolf was unbearable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it collapsed.

The general soldier Zheng Bin fled to Shaoxing. The soldiers and horses were scattered, and only two personal soldiers remained, who were surrounded and killed by more than 100 villagers; Adjutant generals Cai Yuan, He Chengjie and others led their troops to surrender; "General Pingnan" Dutong Bei Zi Laita was wounded on the way and died halfway; The capital commander Eshen Batulu and the deputy capital Buyantu were killed in the battle, and the rest of the Manchurian officials below Zhangjing were killed and wounded......

In the end, the remnants of the army that escaped into Hangzhou were less than 5,000, and the Han soldiers had almost no green flags. Before they could catch their breath, it was settled. The Ming army in all directions has been surrounded layer by layer, four armies, 1340,000 horses, plus the brave and righteous people, there are 200,000 people, and Hangzhou is surrounded by water.

After a little rest and rectification, the Ming army set up artillery to attack the city, and hundreds of artillery bombarded indiscriminately. The Qing army defending the city was terrified inexplicably, although they resisted desperately. But it couldn't stop the fierce offensive of the Ming army.

Within one day, the Ming army had collapsed the city wall for more than ten zhang, and under the cover of various artillery fire, the Ming army entered the city, and the city of Hangzhou was broken.

The final battle unfolded in Manchuria, and the Qing army refused to surrender. Resist to the end. The strong men and women of the Manchurian "all ascended to the city to guard", and the old and weak also shouted and cheered. The battle was bloody and brutal, with the Ming army bombarding all kinds of artillery and firing rockets for fire attacks, while the infantry took turns charging with firearms and bayonets. In the end, the city was broken at the cost of thousands of casualties. The entire city was ruined and almost razed to civilians; The city was full of corpses and pillows, and there were almost no survivors.

The end of the battle in Hangzhou meant that all the Qing troops south of the river were annihilated. The remaining states and counties do not need to attack, or surrender on their own initiative, or spread the word can be determined.

"Half of the country!" Zhu Yongxing sighed in his heart, this was taken with countless blood and human lives, the price was high, but it was also worth it, the tyrannical rule was destroyed, barbarism and ignorance were swept away, and the people were given a clear sky and a happy life. And his own road, there is still a long way to go, but it is not something that these people below can understand.

"Sweep away the demonic atmosphere, Jiangnan has been decided, congratulations to His Royal Highness on his immortal achievements."

"Your Royal Highness is wise and martial, and the first contribution to the construction of the Ming Dynasty."

"Congratulations for Daming, congratulations for the saint, congratulations for His Highness."

……………

Worshipping the tomb of filial piety, since it is to be used as a political declaration, Zhu Yongxing naturally invited many celebrities and gentry to come to watch the ceremony. There are still some days to go, and many people have already come, so Zhu Yongxing has to summon Xuan to show that he is a corporal of courtesy and lives up to the name of benevolence.

In fact, Zhu Yongxing didn't like these people, he shaved his head in the Qing ruling area, and regarded himself as a "remnant" of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Qian Qianyi was here, and he was originally excited to be invited, but he was full of white eyes from others. This reminded Zhu Yongxing of Ma Shiying, who was reprimanded as a "traitor" by the Donglin Party and folk opera, and the ability of the Donglin Party to reverse black and white.

It is needless to say whether Ma Shiying was a traitor in the Hongguang Dynasty, but even if he became a street rat in the Tang and Lu regimes, he did not surrender to the Manchu Qing because of this, but tried his best to change his bad image in the past with practical actions to resist the Qing. Historical texts prove that Ma Shiying has participated in the battle of crossing the Qiantang River to attack Yuhang and Fuyang and Hangzhou many times; After the defeat of the eastern Zhejiang, Ma Shiying fled to Siming Mountain to cut his hair and became a monk, and was finally captured and righteous. Speaking of this integrity alone is really commendable.

There is no doubt about Ma Shiying's death, and the Donglin Party also admitted that it was a "national history", but they added a "wild history", deliberately writing that after Ma Shiying was captured, Dacheng and Guoan father and son surrendered, implying that Ma Shiying also surrendered at the same time, and then the Qing court found that Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, and Guoan father and son had documents of collaborating with the enemy, so they killed Ma Shiying and others who had surrendered.

Just like when the Hongguang Dynasty fell, the ministers were martyred Gao Zhuo, Zhang Jie, Yang Weihuan, etc., among them, Zhang Jie and Yang Weihuan were the so-called anti-party elements in the mouth of the Donglin Party, so they were fabricated lies and slandered by those Donglin Party members who were happy to be obedient to the people. Especially Yang Weihuan, it was the death festival of the whole family, but he, like Ma Shiying, was rumored to be killing a concubine and absconding after his family died and was beaten to death by the rebels.

No matter how bad Ma Shiying is, he is better than those Donglin Party men who scolded him alive. People fled, people ran, and people worked against the Qing court, so they were really forced to become monks, but they didn't surrender.

Although the Donglin Party does not exist in name, there is no longer zài. But the poison is too deep, and there are so many "Donglin Party people" who don't hang signboards!

thinks he is standing on the high ground of morality, and he only has a mouth that scolds man-made rumors and filth, but he has no practical talent; With a narrow-minded party view, opposing only for the sake of opposition will only lead to quarrels. The interests of the nation and the nation are not taken into account at all; This is Zhu Yongxing's evaluation of Donglin and the Restoration Socialist Party. However, most of these people are well-known people, and they have to be handled carefully.

"Although the south of the river has been recovered, the Tartars are still in the north, and the great cause of Zhongxing has not been completed, and you still need to contribute more to the country and the imperial court!" Zhu Yongxing smiled and said kindly: "It is too much to say that Gu Yingming is a martial artist. To have today's achievements, it is all thanks to the sincere unity of the military, civilian, and gentry. All in one. The so-called party opinion, the so-called battle of will, is really misleading the country and harming the people, and it is not advisable! After speaking, he turned to Wang Fuzhi, who was specially invited from Xiangnan, and said, "Mr. Jiang Zhai, what should I think?" ”

"Your Highness's words are in one word." Wang Fuzhi arched his hand and said: "Since the fall of Jiajing, this dynasty has been a continuous party struggle. The strength of the country is consumed by this; Loyal and upright ministers, capable generals against enemies. They are often caught in the same party and fighting against each other, or killed, imprisoned or expelled. When the Tartars occupied half of the country, the Hongguang Dynasty still followed the bad government, and finally returned to the sky and was powerless, in vain! If it weren't for His Highness......"

For the sake of his career and ideals, Wang Fuzhi is not tempted by Lilu. is not oppressed by power, even after going through a lot of hardships, but also unswerving. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he fought against the Qing soldiers in his hometown of Hengyang, and after the defeat. Vowed not to shave his hair, did not tolerate the Qing Dynasty authorities, wandered and wandered, hidden, and finally lived in seclusion in Shichuan Mountain, engaged in ideological writing. In his later years, his health was not good, his life was poor, and he even relied on his friends for pen and paper when writing. Writing every day, even the wrist is too much inkstone, and the finger is too much to write.

Zhu Yongxing admired and respected Wang Fuzhi, and specially arranged an apartment for him in Nanjing, and arranged for his subordinates, so that he could concentrate on writing books without worrying about food and clothing.

The reason is very simple, he admires and agrees with Wang Fuzhi's doctrine. First, Wang Fuzhi's idea of advocating the application of the world resolutely opposed Cheng Zhu Lixue, and he said: "The Six Classics are responsible for me to open up a new face, and seven feet from the sky to be buried alive"; Second, Wang Fuzhi's proposition is that "judging by law and governing by righteousness...... Since the beginning of the Son of Heaven, the world has been subject to its judgment. The gentleman is upright and the villain is safe, and there is a king, and there is no way to change this", in Zhu Yongxing's view, it is already the idea of "hypocrisy and constitutionalism" with the spirit of enlightenment; Third, Wang Fuzhi said: "It can be Zen, it can be continued, it can be reformed, but it cannot be made to be intermittent." Although it was to express his bitter hatred for the Qing rulers who entered the Central Plains, it could be used by Zhu Yongxing.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, there has been a critique of science in the intellectual and academic circles, but Zhu Yongxing feels that it is far from enough. He wanted to gather a group of literati and set off an upsurge of practical learning, so as to eliminate the theoretical basis for empty talk and misleading the country.

Fang Yizhi of Wuzhou, Wang Fuzhi of Chuanshan, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, etc., and even Qian Qianyi, although they have personality or academic defects, they are still the target of Zhu Yongxing's network, and they are still usable talents.

After Wang Fuzhi finished speaking, Zhu Yongxing smiled and humbly said a few words, then turned to Qian Qianyi and said: "Everyone says that Yushan (Qian Qianyi) is still there, and the history of the country is still not dead, which shows the respect for Mr. Qianyi's ability to historiography." People are inherently flawed, but they can change it, and it is very good. Mr. ran to resist the Qing Dynasty, he will be able to gain understanding, and he doesn't have to take some small words to heart. ”

"With His Royal Highness's words, old decay, old decay is death, and there are no regrets!" Qian Qianyi burst into tears, with Zhu Yongxing justifying his name in public, even if there are white eyes from others, it is enough to smile at Jiuquan.

Qian Qianyi's "Attached Eunuch Party" and "Surrender to Shiqing" are indeed the stain of "big festivals and losses" in terms of personal character and sentiment, and they have been condemned and criticized, and there is indeed no way to justify it. However, it is far from reaching the point of "not enough to be compared to human beings", not to mention that not long after he descended to the Qing Dynasty, he sincerely joined the ranks of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and has won the understanding of the kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty and many Ming relics.

But what Zhu Yongxing wants to say is not this, but to bring out the topic, "Huangli Prefecture still introduces Mr. Qian as a confidant, and affirms the academic status of Mr. Qian's Four Seas Sect Alliance for decades; Gu Tinglin did not want to be listed as a protégé, but he was sure that Mr. was the 'sect master of the article'. It's good to see what is desirable, and not to selectively ignore it for some reason, or to talk nonsense because of others, that is, to treat people and things with this objective attitude. No matter who he is, whether he has a holiday with you or not, as long as what he says makes sense, then agree and support; On the contrary, even if it is a relative or friend, if it is not right, do not go along with it. ”

Abolishing the government because of people and abolishing government because of the party is the most hateful thing about the Donglin party. No matter whether the policy is good or bad, just look at the person who introduced the policy, and if it is his own people, he will go along with and support it, and if it is an outsider, he will stumble and erect obstacles, and he will always destroy it.

Everyone figured out the deep meaning of Zhu Yongxing's words, and they all secretly remembered it in their hearts. These celebrities and gentry, even if they don't go out, but the children of the disciples are looking forward to it, how can they not inquire about His Highness Min's likes and dislikes?

"Let's talk about this Jiangnan, the land of wealth." Zhu Yongxing looked around, raised his voice slightly, and said: "The Qing court did not hesitate to send a large army to compete with our army, and it was to use this grain and white grain for the palace consumption, hundreds of officials, and military salaries. It was to gather and loot in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the people could not bear the suffering. Taking Suzhou Prefecture as an example, the cultivated land in one prefecture and seven counties accounts for only 1 percent of the country's cultivated land, but the amount of tax grain accounts for one-tenth of the country......" (to be continued......
