Chapter 68: Jiangyin Eighty-one Days
Zhang Biwu shook his arm after praising Dolgon and said, "Okay! Hanxing, I'm out of trouble! I have taken everything you just said to heart! There is still a little bit in this world, and only the strong can dominate everything! ”
Xuan Jianhao nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, someone came to report that Zheng Chenggong received a letter from Zhang Biwu and replied: Zheng Chenggong is very grateful to Zhang Biwu, if it weren't for Zhang Biwu's actions, he wouldn't be able to get out of the predicament.
Zheng Chenggong said that he would cooperate with the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians in various parts of the Yangtze River, and that he would attack from Xiamen and cooperate with Shi Kefa, Huang Degong, Zhang Huangyan, and others, hoping to win a greater victory.
Zhang Biwu looked at it and said happily: "Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong, I think I fought against the Netherlands with you in Humen, you still remember it clearly!" You're the most visible of all! The most thorough! ”
Zhang Biwu thought that since Zheng Chenggong was going to send troops, then he also had to echo Zheng Chenggong in the north! As for whether Yongli and Emperor Shaowu will blame him, Zhang Biwu is too lazy to pay attention!
Anyway, you have military power in your hands, so how can you care so much! There are already tens of thousands of troops in my hands, if you don't make a marquis, I can also quickly develop my strength, and I will also seal a few more general soldiers.
Zhang Biwu saw that Nanyang had been occupied by Li Zicheng, so he couldn't march towards Nanyang, so where should he be aiming now?
Guanzhong? Yes! The situation in Guanzhong is tight. Therefore, Dolgon sent Hauge, and Zhang Xianzhong was not good at fighting Hauge! Zhang Xianzhong's territory in Shaanxi is also shrinking rapidly, and soon, he can only retreat to Shu.
Shangzhou! If you can capture the Shangluo Mountain, it will naturally be the best thing! Co-operating with Zhang Xianzhong can also win over Zhang Xianzhong!
The land of Shaanxi is lost. can well support Jiangnan's anti-Qing resistance. Maybe. Let the Qing army stop the massacre in Jiangnan!
Zhang Biwu didn't know that if he did this, it would make Li Zicheng unhappy! You are good with Zhang Xianzhong for a while, and you are good with him Li Zicheng for a while! What do you make Li Zicheng think of you?
Zhang Biwu's army went to Shangzhou, he first sent someone to get in touch with Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong heard that Zhang Biwu sent troops to Shaanxi to help him, he didn't know how happy he was!
And this situation has been known to the Qing army, and the Qing army naturally arranged a battle for Zhang Biwu, and Azig came to Xi'an. He and He Luohui were in charge in person, and he swore to resist Zhang Biwu.
It is difficult for Zhang Biwu to take a step forward, and it is not possible to retreat, at least let people know that he is responding to the situation in Jiangnan.
At this time, the situation in Jiangnan is already unfavorable! In particular, Jiangyin City was besieged by 240,000 Qing troops, including Abatai's second son Bolo, Jingjing Prince Nikan, and Gongshun King Kong Youde, who carried more than 200 Hongyi cannons to besiege the city and bombard it continuously.
There are more than 97,000 people in Jiangyin City, more than 75,000 people outside the city, a total of 170,000 people. The Manchus mobilized a strong force to suppress it, just to tell the people of Jiangnan. Anyone who dared to resist the Manchus had only a dead end.
Just like Jiading, a massacre is coming! After all, Jiangyin has been holding on for a long time. We've reached the end of our rope.
It's a pity that although Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan and others want to go north, it is a pity that their troops are limited and they are restrained by the Qing army, and there are obstacles everywhere if they want to go north, and they cannot break through. A tragedy is not avoided......
The ins and outs of Jiangyin's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty are as follows:
The people of Jiangyin had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but because of the issuance of the order to shave their hair and make it easy to obey, Fang Heng, the former Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, came to the county level, and when he came, he was still wearing a gauze hat and blue robe, and did not change the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, people thought that it was an official sent by the Ming Dynasty, which Zhilu Dao was from the Qing Dynasty.
Changzhou Taishou Zonghao sent four soldiers to Jiangyin, and shaved his hair in three days. In various places, you can see the shaver in the hands of the Qing soldiers in the hands of sharp weapons, under the leadership of the Qing soldiers, carrying a burden to patrol the towns and villages, the burden hung with the "head without hair, hair without hair" pink card, see one by one, forcibly shave around the head, keep money rat tail.
The old celebrities of Beizhou Township and others jointly wrote a letter to keep their hair, but they were reproached and scolded by Fang Heng. For this reason, everyone shouted: "You are a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a gauze hat and a round neck, but you came to be the county commander of the Qing Dynasty, you are not ashamed, and you are not ugly?" ”
Fang Heng was speechless. A sentient being named Xu Yong also generously stated: "The head can be broken, but the hair must not be shaved!" When Fang Heng ordered the scribe to copy the proclamation of the order to shave his hair, the scribe threw the pen to the ground and said indignantly: "Just die!" ”
Fang Heng, a villain, only wants to make his red top more red, so he still has to strictly implement the order to shave his hair and obey, ignoring the life and death of others, and Mo Shiying is also helping Fang Heng vigorously. Finally, it caused public outrage!
Fang Heng's teacher came to congratulate his disciples and was beaten to death when he was happy with the county order, and Fang Heng and Mo Shiying were imprisoned, this Fang Heng villain, he still thought that he was an official of the Qing Dynasty, what are you afraid of! If you dare to risk me, I will kill more to establish power, and who will dare to disobey me in the future? But he didn't know what to say, and he wouldn't be majestic for long.
The Chen garrison he was counting on was also killed, and even if the Qing army sent troops to Jiangyin, people were full of emotions and were willing to die for hair protection. Fang Heng and Mo Shiying, who were the most rear, got their due fate and were executed.
Chen Mingyu was elected as the leader, he knew that he was not strong, and Yan Yingyuan, who had been the history of Jiangyin, was besieged by pirates when he first came to take office, and he shot the pirates. Moreover, during his tenure of office, he made outstanding political achievements and won the support of the people.
There is no doubt that Chen Mingyu's decision was correct, and he and Feng Houdun welcomed Yan Yingyuan into the city to defend Jiangyin.
Yan Yingyuan immediately investigated the household registration of the whole city separately, selected young and strong men to form a militia, and gathered more than 200,000 village soldiers to go to the city in shifts, with ten people in each battlement, and changed shifts on time. The prince of Wuju guarded the east gate, Wang guarded the south gate, Chen Mingyu guarded the west gate, and Ying Yuan guarded the north gate.
Liu Liangzuo couldn't capture Jiangyin City for a long time, Belebolo came, he led the remnants of Abatai, he vowed to sweep away Jiangyin, and at the same time wanted to vent the grievances suffered by attacking Zhang Biwu.
Yan Yingyuan and the people of Jiangyin City all climbed to the top of the city to look, and they saw rows and rows of Qing troops in phalanxes rushing towards Jiangyin City like clouds and mist.
The cavalry of the Qing army sat upright on the horse, and the right hand held a spear and spear, diagonally from the waist upward, and the left hand was holding the reins, so that the war horse was slowly, sending out "Da! The sound of "click" moved forward step by step.
The rows of neat rows, and some of them are flag bearers, who are also proud. Flags fly and hunt in the wind. The horses in the front row were all covered in thick armor, showing people that they were an elite division. Where the cavalry passed, a puff of dust was splashed.
Behind it were spears and spears raised diagonally to the sky, and rows of neat and orderly spears were obscured by the sun. Lift your feet to the ground, and the whole action is neat and uniform, all in one go. The earth was trampled by the feet of the soldiers, and the earth let out a groan of pain "bang, bang, bang".
In the back were soldiers holding flags, and the soldiers were deliberately vibrating the flags, because in their experience, wherever the Qing soldiers passed, as long as the banner full of people was displayed, no one dared to disobey.
Full of people is less than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible! This phrase spread all over the world, thus destroying people's confidence in fighting against the Manchus.
Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun always felt very unhappy when they saw the soldiers waving their flags triumphantly! They are too arrogant! All the cities have surrendered, but they Jiangyin will let the arrogance of the full army be curbed here!
To let the Manchurians know that the people of Jiangyin are powerful! If you want to be casual and do evil, you will never be able to do it in front of Jiangyin City! This is the determination of Yan Yingyuan and other Jiangyin people!
Bolo raised his long knife in the most disgraced manner. "Good! Good! "When the soldiers saw the main general raise their swords, they shouted, and they raised their weapons and shouted wildly.
The rapid sound of the drum was beating, and the drummer was naked.
It was such a menacing Qing army, they tasted the bitter fruit for the first time, attacking again and again, in exchange for defeats again and again, leaving behind corpses one by one.
As a result, the Qing soldiers were retreating, and they didn't die, they couldn't help but high-five each other, and their heads were still there! Just as the dead Zhuge scared away the living Sima, Sima Yi shouted: "Is my head still there? "Every Qing soldier is asking each other, is my head still there? I heard my companion say, "Congratulations! Your head is still there! I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice. Yes! As long as you survive every siege, it's a good thing.
Bolo, Nikan, Kong Youde and the other three have exhausted all methods, and it is still difficult to capture Jiangyin City.
In the unfavorable situation of the siege, I can only think of persuading to surrender. Bolo falsely claimed that as long as the banner of Daming Zhongxing was pulled out, the banner of the Qing Dynasty would be hung on all sides of the four gates, and only a few people would be killed and beheaded, and the rest would not be cared for, even if they did not shave their hair, they would withdraw their troops. His treacherous plan was discovered, and Bolo also said that as long as the Great Qing Flag was erected in the four cities, he would immediately withdraw his troops. It was also recognized by the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Bolo tried to persuade him to surrender three times, but he could not make the people of the city surrender, and they all preferred to die.
Bo Luo knew that there was no way out, and this battle had to go on, and Kong Youde, Nikan and others all wanted to make great contributions. Especially Nikan, when he followed Azig, he was repeatedly defeated by Zhang Biwu.
Later, Dolgon decided to ask Azig to withdraw from the Xiangyang area, but let Nikan and Aobai return together, so Nikan and Bolo wanted to attack Jiangyin. (To be continued......)
