Chapter 0228 Kill all those who take the initiative to surrender
Wu Sangui, who was outside the Fotu Pass, waited for news for a long time, but he didn't see his henchman Wu Guogui coming out of the pass.
The customs did not even announce the news of the provocation to the outside world, as if Wu Guogui had not entered the Fotu Pass.
In this way, Wu Sangui couldn't sit still.
Li Guohan watched Wu Sangui go from being full of confidence at the beginning to being suspicious at the back, and now fidgeting.
It seems that this King of Pingxi is also extremely uncalm in his heart.
If it is too big, it will definitely bury the life of his confidant.
After all, killing the envoy of the Qing army directly cut off his idea of surrendering.
Li Guohan knew that he had sent letters of surrender to all parts of central Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, but no one surrendered.
If Liu Jinzhong hadn't suddenly changed his court this year, he thought that Zhang Xianzhong's role in hundreds of thousands of troops would not have been defeated and killed so easily.
In particular, the road into Sichuan is difficult, and the Sichuan people are all iron-headed, and the surrender letter does not contain a reply, and the envoys are all cut down, so it is as if they have never received a letter of surrender from the Qing court.
Due to the dangers of Shu Road, you can't get it without a guide.
Liu Jinzhong, who was familiar with the terrain and the inside of the Great Western Army, volunteered to act as a guide, and obviously played an important role in the smooth entry of Prince Su's Haoge Department into Sichuan.
Therefore, after the incident, he was "named Sword Pavilion", and Liu Jinzhong was appointed as the chief soldier of Yiyang, and he stained his top red with the blood of the former Daxi army robe.
Li Guohan has a clear understanding of this, because he and Wu Sangui are both people who take this kind of road.
"King Pingxi, don't worry, there is still half an hour, if you don't let people go, then you will forcibly attack Fotu Pass, and they don't have much to resist."
Li Guohan finally gave his own advice.
In any case, everyone is in the same boat, and they need credit to atone for their sins.
Wu Sangui's general Hu Xinshui stood up and hugged his fists:
"King Pingxi, the big ships have not been found, but the small boats within a hundred miles of the upstream and downstream have been collected, and there are thirty of them.
Because the Great Western Army has already collected it in advance, even if our army expands the search area, it will only be 30 ships, and if it is attacked, it can only build a raft. ”
"Then set up a raft, the louder the better." Wu Sangui also stood up:
"How many soldiers can you put in thirty ships? Unless you wait until it gets dark and touches it. ”
"Yes."
Hu Xinshui went down to prepare quickly.
"King Pingxi, don't worry."
A person walked in from outside the tent, it was Wang Zuntan, who had been appointed governor of Sichuan by Haoge.
"I was ordered by the general to surrender to Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, and at that time Fotu Pass will surrender without a fight."
In the face of Wang Zuntan's self-confidence, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan surprisingly did not refute.
At this moment, rowing back from the river, a small boat was the person appointed by the Qing court to deliver the letter to the governor of Sichuan.
didn't let Wang Zuntan wait too long, and he received a reply from Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty:
"A certain minister, there is no reason. The ancients said that the ministers of the feudal territory should die to seal the frontier,
This is the time of a certain life. ”
"Hmph."
Wang Zuntan snorted coldly, he didn't expect that Ma Gan to be so ignorant.
"The hour has come." Li Guohan stood up and said, "King Pingxi, it's time to do it, otherwise the people on the other side of the strait will think that we are joking." ”
"That's right."
Wu Sangui originally wanted to expand his strength, but he never thought that those bandits would not give face, so don't blame him for being polite.
In the territory of Pengxi, Qin Zuoming led the army to move slowly.
"Newspaper, nine masters, eight masters sent letters."
Qin Zuoming took the letter and took a closer look, it turned out that the Qing army that went to attack Fotu Pass was Wu Sangui and Li Guohan.
And he sent his henchman Wu Guogui to persuade him to surrender, and he led more than 70,000 troops, and most of the rest were Wu Sangui's men.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui still maintained certain contacts with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.
Unlike other demoted officers, Wu Sangui also had a unit under his own independent command.
Therefore, at the beginning of entering the customs, the Qing government showed favor to the outside world, and was suspicious of it, and did not grant it the right to do things.
In addition to taking strict precautions against him politically, militarily, he only used his hatred of Li Zicheng's rebel army to lead his troops to attack Li Zicheng.
Since Li Zicheng was eliminated, the Qing court snubbed Wu Sangui for a period of time, and then transferred him to exterminate the Great Western Army, and at the same time let him behave well.
Presumably, he should be aware of the consequences of not behaving well.
"Brother Qin, this team in Wu Sangui's hands is quite elite." After reading the letter, Yang Zhan:
"Guan Ning's elite soldiers are all in Wu hands, this is his hometown, and his strength has increased greatly in the past two years."
When Li Zicheng and Duoduo fought in Shaanxi, Azig led Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun.
These two people sent many Han troops from Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi, and their troops were quite strong.
In other words, many old generals of the Ming Dynasty were all enveloped together by them, so it was normal for Wu Sangui to send people to persuade Zeng Ying and other old generals to join his command.
The truth that someone in the court is good at being an official has long been one of the rules of conduct in their hearts.
Regardless of whether it is a new dynasty or an old dynasty, some rules are eternal.
Qin Zuoming doesn't want to touch Wu Sangui, who is deep in the hinterland of Chongqing, at present.
"Brother Yang, my current strategy is not to beat the dog to show the owner, but to beat the owner to show the dog."
If you want to do it, you must do Haoge first, so as to deter Wu Sangui, anyway, he is a dog, what backbone can he have?
"Oh? Hahahaha. ”
Yang Zhan stroked his beard and laughed, stretching out his thumb, which sounded really uplifting.
"Zheng Lu, have the sentinels sent out to explore the enemy camp come back?"
"I haven't come back yet."
"Hmm." Qin Zuoming nodded: "No matter what, before dawn tomorrow, I have to bombard Xichong and not give him a chance to encircle and send reinforcements." ”
"Yes."
Zheng Lu replied loudly, because there was intelligence that a group of Qing army transport artillery was slowly moving towards Guangyuan County.
If you don't first beat Haoge, who is deep in the hinterland of Shuzhong, you won't give him a chance to return to Guangyuan.
Haoge sent Wu Sangui and others to Fotu Pass, and if they did not surrender, they would attack forcibly, and he would feast and drink here in Xichong.
Because the Qing army suddenly entered Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong died, and Zeng Ying died in battle, the Qing army was menacing.
Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, fled directly back to Zunyi, and his nominally controlled Ming Sichuan general Jia Denglian and deputy general Tan Desheng led the army to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Hauge woke up with such good news and was in a good mood.
Luo Luohun, the king of the county, received a letter from Wang Zuntan, the governor of Sichuan, saying that Ma Gan and others refused to surrender, and many Ming troops were determined to resist to the end.
Hauge frowned slightly after listening to his narration: "These Sichuan people are so resistant to my Daqing? ”
"In my opinion, there are still fewer people killed." Luo Luohun, the king of the county, threw down the letter in his hand: "The people of Sichuan and Shu have not experienced the iron cavalry of our Qing Dynasty. ”
Hauge nodded, yes, that's the truth.
Especially after Qin Zuoming killed Yan Yechen, the people of Sichuan and Shu did not have much fear of the Qing court.
Only some former Ming Dynasty officials who wanted to speculate came to surrender.
"Since that's the case, then kill all the old generals of the Ming army who came to the door." Hauge snorted, "I don't need waste under my command to deter the rest." ”
Luo Luohun nodded in agreement, he thought for a while: "We killed Zhang Xianzhong to avenge the people of Sichuan and Shu, and killing Jia Denglian and Deputy General Tan Desheng is even more to avenge the people!" ”
"What do you mean?" Hauge was puzzled.
Luo Luohun wants to kill people, but he also has to have the greatest interests: "No matter what, we have to attract a wave of people's hearts and let the people of Sichuan and Shu see that we are for their good." ”
"Well, you can handle this matter."
"Yes."
Luo Luohun answered, and beckoned someone to tell Jia and Tan to enter the vacant camp, and the general of the party would personally go to the army.
Jia Denglian and his lieutenant Tan Desheng glanced at each other, and their hearts were finally steady.
As the first general soldier in Sichuan to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, receiving this special treatment made the two of them extremely excited.
Daming has finished playing, Zhang Xianzhong has also finished playing, and Zeng Ying is even dead.
In the future, the Sichuanshu Qin Zuoming family will be dominant, and even Wang Yingxiong and Fan Yiheng will not be able to check and balance, and this kid will not allow other general soldiers to plunder.
That Fan Wenguang was a literati, and he was personally appointed by the supervisor Fan Yiheng, but he was still beheaded by him and passed on the entire Sichuan and Shu to set an example.
In the future, if you want to kill good people and rob things from the people, you will die!
So after Wang Yingxiong escaped to check and balance, the two of them really changed their courts, wanting to eat and drink spicy food here in Daiqing.
When they put down their weapons and entered the camp, many soldiers looked suspicious, after all, they often do things to kill good and take risks, so they were a little panicked in their hearts.
On the contrary, it was the general soldier Jia Denglian and the deputy general Tan Desheng who stood up to comfort everyone, saying that they were the first wave of Ming officials and soldiers in the entire Sichuan and Shu to surrender to the Qing court, and they would definitely receive preferential treatment.
So put all your heart in your stomach, and the general Hauge said that if you reward us, you will definitely reward us.
With the guarantee of the two leaders, many soldiers were able to settle down.
Haug rode on his horse, watching from afar as the soldiers entered the camp.
"All in?"
"Back to the general's words, all of them went in."
"Hmm." Hauge snorted: "Then kill them all, turn around and cut off all your heads, hang them on the car, and announce along the way that this is the end of the Qing Dynasty against me." ”
"Yes."
In the camp, the chief soldier Jia Denglian also muttered in his heart: "Old Tan, you said that these Tartars don't really want to kill us, right?" ”
Because of this method, it is especially like the old practice of them tricking some people into the camp and then cutting off their heads, as traitors of the Great Western Army, and going back to ask for rewards.
"No, ironclad." Tan Desheng patted his chest and said, "We are the first ones to surrender, and we will buy horse bones." ”
As soon as his words fell, a heavy arrow fell from the sky and stuck next to Tan Desheng's neck, cutting the artery at once, provoking the general soldier Jia Denglian's face to bleed.
Then there were thousands of unique heavy arrows of the Qing army, shooting in from all directions.
The unarmored soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and only a few clever people lay on the ground, blocking them in front of them with their robed corpses, trying to fool them out.
These unarmed Ming soldiers surrendered, wanted
A burst of arrows fired, and the camp was filled with dense people, and it was only at this time that the gate of the camp was opened.
From the outside, a group of fully armed Qing soldiers entered, and they lined up with spears to mend the dead bodies, and then the people behind them chopped off all the heads.
Jia Denglian, the chief soldier of Sichuan, covered his injured shoulder and shouted loudly: "Haoge, why do you want to kill me? ”
The answer that came was that he was killed with one arrow.
Hauge put down the longbow in his hand and snorted: "A dog like a cow or sheep, there is still a reason to kill you?" ”
The surrendered Ming army, from the general soldiers to the pawns, was not spared, and all of them were killed by Hauge in the name of rewarding the soldiers.
Whether it is out of Sichuan or into Sichuan, the supply of grain and grass is extremely difficult.
In the first battle of Xichong, not only captured a large number of men and horses of the Great Western Army, but also captured a lot of baggage of the Great Western Army.
In this way, the logistical pressure on the Qing army was relieved.
The heads of the soldiers of the Ming army were quickly cut off, and they were not even pickled, but hung on the car, attracting a lot of flies.
Under the surveillance of the Qing army, he ordered many soldiers of the Great Western Army to push the cart and go to Fotu Pass, and sent people to recruit Ming officials and troops from all over the country along the way.
If not, this is the end!
Qin Zuoming finally waited for the team to come back, and the Qing army had occupied the original camp of the Great Western Army and Xichong County.
And he drove many of the people of Xichong out of the city, leaving many women in the city for their sexual pleasure.
A large number of soldiers of the Great Western Army were guarded by a small number of Qing soldiers, and Haoge also divided 70,000 troops and sent Wu Sangui to attack Chongqing and other places.
In this way, Hauge had only more than 30,000 soldiers left around him.
Now the Qing court has sent troops, and most of them are Han troops.
"Hauge was bold enough to leave his horse outside the city." Qin Zuoming looked at the simple map and smiled:
"Before the battle begins, let his horses scatter, lest they flee on fast horses, which is not conducive to the strangulation of our army."
Yang Zhan didn't have much objection: "Is this attack on the Qing army going to encircle three and lack one?" ”
"Nope." Qin Zuoming shook his head and said, "Block the four gates of Xichong, let's come to a siege point to send reinforcements first, and see if Wu Sangui can come back in time to save his master." ”
"Understood."
"Brother Cao, the task of blocking Wu Sangui will be handed over to you, but don't let me and Brother Yang down."
Cao Xun was a little excited, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general, obey the general." ”
Qin Zuoming is willing to give himself a chance, but he must seize it, he can't let Fan Wenguang fool him like before, and almost cause a big disaster.
"Nine masters, the brothers also heard some news." Zhang Xin saluted before saying:
"Jia Denglian, the chief soldier under the control of Wang Yingxiong, and Tan Desheng, the deputy general, surrendered to Haoge, and as a result, they were all killed by the Qing army from top to bottom."
"Oh?"
Qin Zuoming didn't expect that the first Ming general soldier in Sichuan to surrender to the Qing court not only did not get the reuse of Haoge, but lost his life.
This kind of operation really didn't make Qin Zuoming understand.
Didn't Haoge think that Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi was killed by him with one arrow, and he dropped 200,000 soldiers of Daxi, and then he floated?
So for Jia Denglian's surrender, he didn't pay any attention to it, did he do it for those soldiers of the Great Western Army?
Or is he not afraid of provoking the resistance of everyone in Kawanaka.
"Hauge's move directly cut off the back road for us to surrender." Yang Zhan also couldn't understand this cerebral palsy operation: "It's weird." ”
