Chapter 502: Purging the Gentry and the Thieves (Part 21)
At this time, Gong Zhaolu, who swore allegiance to his Qing Dynasty, also personally stood on the city gate with the brave warriors he had gathered, he didn't know much about war, and in his consciousness, it seemed that defending the city was still relying on the city wall, and then using firearms and bows and arrows to suppress the enemy army besieging the city.
Therefore, Miyateru Ritsu has been waiting for the Guards to appear, but what he didn't expect was that he was waiting for not the officers and soldiers of the Guards, but the shells of the Guards Artillery Battalion.
Thousands of cannonballs landed on the walls of Weihuifu City with unerring accuracy, and only a small number of shells landed outside and inside the walls.
This is the unparalleled shooting accuracy of the Guards artillery, coupled with the powerful explosive force formed by the nitrification explosives and the heavy iron bullets, the walls of Weihui Mansion City and the people on it were blown up in an instant, and they directly collapsed into a series of ruins.
Gong Zhaolu was very lucky, just one of the city walls he was on had not collapsed yet, but when he looked around and found that the city of the Great Weihui Mansion had all collapsed into ruins in an instant, he was directly dumbfounded.
He never thought that war was played like this, Miyazhao was stunned, and he began to regret his words of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
But when he thought that even if he didn't surrender to the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he would be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, he couldn't help crying:
"Oh my God, how can this be, how can this be!"
Suddenly the scenery outside the city, most of the 20,000 defenders turned into wailing defeated soldiers in a moment, and the prefect of Weihui Mansion at this time was also dumbfounded.
"Weihui Mansion is so broken? Rao is red-clothed cannon can't be so fast, so violent, Weihui Mansion is a big city, the residence of King Lu of Zhu Ming Domain! The city has always been high and thick, how is this good? ”
The prefect of Weihui Mansion knelt on the ground without tears when he wanted to cry.
At this time, Zhou Xiangguang, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the 1st Corps of the 3rd Army of the Guards, had personally led the cavalry of the Guards Army to kill him.
The cavalry knife in Zhou Xiangguang's hand was already extremely hungry and thirsty, and he did not encounter any decent resistance all the way from Yangwu, and killed a few gentry at most, so now he could see that there were Qing troops who dared to defend Huicheng, so he immediately killed Weihuicheng as soon as it broke the city.
"Kill!"
But Zhou Xiangguang was directly dumbfounded when he entered Weihui City, because there was no Qing army in the entire Weihui City who wanted to kill a happy one, only there were many corpses of the Qing army under the ruins of the collapsed city wall, and occasionally a few living people were wounded who were about to die.
"In the future, let the artillery battalion put a few fewer guns, and let us cavalry not play!"
Zhou Xiangguang was a little depressed, but he still rushed to the Weihui Mansion with his officers and soldiers, and there were still a few Qing troops in the Weihui Mansion at this time, but these Qing troops directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and they had no intention of resisting at all.
Zhou Xiangguang had to send a few cavalry to kill these Qing troops, and even arrested Xiang Degong, the prefect of Weihui Mansion.
"I actually became the prefect of Jianyu, it seems that I must have been born as a Jianlu Jinshi, and said, who let you take refuge in the Tartars!"
Zhou Xiangguang could only use this Weihui Mansion prefect Xiang Degong to relieve his mood at this time, so he took the initiative to interrogate this Xiang Degong.
"Big lord, where does Xia Guan know what Tartar, Xia Guan is a talent of Da Ming, I just thought that Da Ming was not dead, so I was admitted to the Jinshi in a daze, and then became an official, big master Mingjian, as long as the big man is willing to spare the small one, the small one is willing to do anything, and the small one shaves this braid!"
Xiang Degong was extremely defeated, and he was busy kowtowing.
"Escort down, the Manchu officials will hang up and beat first, don't kill first, and wait for our people to judge and execute! How can you do it if you don't do it! ”
Zhou Xiangguang was talking, and the cavalry under his command rode over: "Commander, there is a person on the city wall, who seems to be a scholar and wears a Confucian robe. ”
"Let's go, take this conductor to see."
Zhou Xiangguang immediately rode his horse and hurried over.
At this time, Gong Zhaolu was very depressed, and now he was trapped on the wall about one zhang high, and he could neither jump off nor stay on it, after all, it was winter, and he would freeze to death if he didn't starve to death if he stayed outside.
"It's really good to play!"
Zhou Xiangguang couldn't help laughing, and only ordered: "Don't worry about him, everyone continues to search for the remnants of the enemy, and none of the gentry in the city are allowed to let go, these people were not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they were willing to be traitors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is not a pity to die!" ”
Soon, the cavalry of the Guards under Zhou Xiangguang began to purge these gentry who worked for the Manchu Dynasty.
"The emperor and the Qing Dynasty took the world for the tyrannical Ming, saved the people from fire and water, and inspired the prosperity of fortune", cavalry Wang Liangliang found an article from the desk of a gentry named Kuang Shounian, and couldn't help but read a few sentences, and in a fit of anger, he directly kicked Kuang Shounian, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground, and slashed fiercely with a war knife:
"If it weren't for you brazen people, why would Da Ming die!"
"Qing Zhongshun Doctor Hanlin Academy is in charge of the bachelor's workshop, it seems that this family is still a big official in the Manchu Dynasty, break in, kill him and leave no piece of armor!"
The cavalry of the Guards also broke into a large family with a cavalryman, and a hao slave wanted to stop it:
"What are you doing! I know whose mansion this is, my lord is a big official in the capital! ”
"your big official, the big man is almost a traitor!"
Ning Zhiyuan directly split the slave in half with a knife, and the dozen or so slaves who followed behind were dumbfounded when they saw this, and they were busy running back.
"It's the slaves and slaves in this house who can stay aside, it's the master in this house who comes forward to receive the death, and the owner of the house doesn't think about the country's grace and does things for the Hu people, as his relatives, he should be implicated in the crime, and he doesn't have to blame anyone, if you want to blame it, blame your master for his shamelessness, no loyalty, we are for Huaxia Kuang's righteousness, and I have no choice but to do extraordinary things, kill!"
Poof!
Under the shadow of the sword, the family members of the Qing court officials began to pay for their traitorous crimes.
"The military master spares his life, spares his life, the little one doesn't know what the second brother did, the archway is also what he asked us to erect, the small one is willing to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, the small one doesn't want anything, all the family property and fields are donated, the small one just wants to survive, woo!"
At this time, a gentleman crawled on the ground and kowtowed.
"Now I want to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, I want to be beautiful, why did I go earlier, in the past, His Majesty the Emperor repeatedly issued edicts, and the people of the north should immediately go south, His Majesty personally decreed that if you do not abandon the king, you will not abandon you, but what are you doing, for five years, when did the people who want to be Ming have no chance to go south, now they know that they are begging for mercy, the heavens are clear, how can they be spared!"
Ning Zhiyuan chopped off the squire's head with a knife.
