With more than thirty guns, Dorgon had crossed the river and set up the guns on the opposite bank.

As for the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of Manchuria crossed the river first, followed by the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were responsible for the rear of the palace. At this moment, most of the Eight Banners of the Han Army have crossed the river, and only a few thousand Wuzhen Chaoha battalions remain.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to chase after him, and the Manchu artillery on the opposite bank immediately fired.

"Spread out the formation!"

"Dragoons light the arquebus!"

Kong Youde stood on the other side of the Yellow River, and the Han army had not yet crossed the river, and one of the leaders was his only son Kong Tingxun.

Dorgon ordered: "All the ships are destroyed, and do not cross the river to pick up people." As for the Han army flag on the other side, how many can come over. ”

Kong Youde wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only command the artillery and keep shooting at the Datong cavalry who surrounded him.

After a moment, Dolgon's face turned ugly and said, "Don't care, the whole army is ready!" ”

It's not that Dolgon doesn't save him, but those Han army flags, scrambling to board a boat to cross the river. Among them, there are more than 2,000 musketeers, and if they are lined up by the river and supported by artillery, they can completely allow the heavy infantry to cross the river safely.

But in this case, who is willing to sacrifice himself for others and fight with his life to cover the escape of friendly troops?

Kong Tingxun, who commanded the firecrackers, rushed to get on the ship himself, and the rest of the firecrackers did the same. There is no way to line up at all, there is chaos everywhere, heavy infantry and musketeers you push and push.

The ship was full and could not leave the shore, and there were always soldiers who wanted to go up.

So the soldiers who had already boarded the ship swung their swords at those who had not boarded the ship. There were even firecrackers, shooting at the boat-climbing soldiers, and the roars, wailings, spittings, and pleadings on the shore shook the sky.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng only let hundreds of dragoons, in an extremely scattered formation, rush over and fire their guns towards these Han army flags.

The scene suddenly became even more chaotic, and several ships were directly overturned.

As the Manchu artillery on the opposite bank was towed away, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the cavalry to charge.

The Han military banners that had not yet boarded the boat jumped into the river to flee for their lives, and some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Bang bang bang!"

The dragoons came to the river, dismounted and raised their muskets and fired at the enemy troops on the boat.

Kong Youde's only son, Kong Tingxun, had already successfully boarded the ship, and he was more than ten meters away from the shore. But several people on the boat were shot, and under the panic and pushing, Kong Tingxun was pushed into the Yellow River by his own soldiers.

"Pull ...... Ha...... Coo-goo-goo...... Pull me on ......"

Kong Tingxun couldn't swim, so he struggled and shouted in the water, and in the blink of an eye, he floated a few meters down the river and hit his head on the bottom of another boat.

Dizzy, choking on a few more mouthfuls of water, Kong Tingxun emerged from the water again.

"Poof!"

Another Han military flag was shot and fell into the water and smashed beside Kong Tingxun. This thing held the soldier's corpse as a life-saving straw, but it was still sinking.

After a while, his stomach was finally filled, and his strength was exhausted, and he sank with endless fear.

……

With the withdrawal of the Qing army, the counties of Kaifeng Prefecture were decided.

Immediately afterwards, Huaiqing Mansion, Weihui Mansion, and Zhangde Mansion were attached. Even the Daimyo Mansion and the Guangping Mansion, which were subordinate to Beizhili, quickly changed their flags, and the civil and military generals shouted long live Emperor Zhao.

These guys can't continue to be officials, and it's good that they don't get severely punished.

For the demotion of officials and generals, Zhao Han has already formulated the handling standards.

The first class, the person who has made meritorious contributions.

When the war situation was undecided, he did not suffer from the attack of the Datong army, but took the initiative to rebel against the Manchu Qing. Or at a critical moment, the winner is not scored, and he defects. Regardless of whether they are military officers or generals, this kind of service is a meritorious service, and they will not be blamed for past crimes, and they will also be rewarded as appropriate.

For example, Huang Fei and Ma Jinzhong in Shandong, and Yuan Shizhong, Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Xuan in Henan.

These must be commended, especially Jiang Xuan, in order to cover the pawn of the Great Synchronization, he died in battle with Wu Sangui, and the spiritual position can be sent to the Heroic Soul Temple for worship.

The surviving generals such as Huang Fei were first recalled to Nanjing to study the Datong Theory, and then assigned to various units to visit and study. In the future, when the 12th Division of the Datong Army is formed, it can directly serve as a regimental-level officer, and the number of troops under command will be 1,500.

As for the leaders of the rebel army, they also went to Nanjing to study first, and those who were willing to serve as soldiers were given positions as appropriate.

A person like Yan Yingyuan, who has read a book, can directly become a county official because of his great achievements.

The second class, surrender to sincerity anyway, and look at the wind.

In the face of the advance of the Datong army, give up resistance and surrender immediately. Or the overall situation has been decided, and the flag has changed when they hear the news.

These people will still be tried, and if they do many evils, they will be spared the death penalty, but they will not be able to escape the living crime. Those who commit the most heinous crimes cannot be exempted from capital crimes, and not killing them is not enough to make the people angry.

For example, the national treasure of the land that surrendered by the Yellow River, born as a water bandit, greedy and brutal.

Historically, this was the first governor of Jiangning in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who wantonly slaughtered the righteous soldiers of Jiangnan who resisted the Qing Dynasty. After pacifying Jiangnan, he looted money, brutalized the people, and caused public resentment to boil, and even the Manchu court could not stand it, and became the first general to be sentenced to death for corruption and trafficking in illicit salt.

At this time and space, Tu Guobao came to Henan with the Qing army, and killed countless people when he went to the countryside to collect grain.

Surrender is death!

The third class, surrender after the battle, this is directly classified as a prisoner of war.

Middle- and high-ranking generals were all beheaded, and they did not need to be interrogated. After the interrogation of the junior officers, all the ordinary soldiers are beaten as criminals, and if they do not commit any more crimes within five years, they can apply to the government to become good citizens.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Division is a good news!"

"Bring it."

Zhao Han read the battle report carefully, but it was the Eighth Division led by Liu Zhu, after quickly capturing Lushan County, he led his troops to attack Baofeng County.

The defender of this city was Andali, who followed Nurhachi very early on, and was considered a minority shareholder of the Manchu company. If it weren't for the suppression of Huang Taiji, he often committed crimes, and it is estimated that he would have been knighted by this time.

Andali is conceited and has made countless meritorious contributions, and does not take the Datong Army in his eyes.

He did not choose to defend the city, but took the initiative to attack, with three Manchurian Eight Banners of Niu Lu under his command, as well as 1,500 Han Army Banners, with 20,000 troops and generals, he wanted to fight with the Datong Army.

As for the end, he was chased and killed by Li Dingguo with dragoons, and chased him for hundreds of miles to capture him alive.

Liu Zhu and Li Dingguo, on the edge of this battle, coupled with Andali's initiative to seek field battles, the whole battle process can be said to be the most relaxed.

After the annihilation of Andali, Liu Zhu and Li Dingguo took advantage of the situation to take the five counties of Ruzhou.

Then attacked Henan Mansion, because it was blocked by Longmen Pass, turned to attack Dengfeng first, and at the same time made a surprise attack on Xuanyuan Pass.

They were preparing to march out of the pass and march into the Yanshi, when the news of Dolgon's withdrawal arrived, and all the cities of Luoyang and Yanshi surrendered.

Zhao Han went out this time, and the armies from all walks of life won one after another, but there were also very bad situations.

Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu's troops, as a result of fighting in Shandong, the hardest-hit area of the epidemic, more than 3,000 soldiers and soldiers in Datong have been infected with the plague.

There is no way to prevent it, and in the military, a large number of people gather, and the speed of transmission is even faster.

I couldn't find a special medicine, so I could only drink Wu Youke's traditional Chinese medicine decoction to improve my own resistance to carry the plague.

……

Shandong.

Azig's army was besieged in Jinan City, and Fei Ruhe, Zhang Tieniu, Huang Fei, and Ma Jinzhong had already joined forces.

As for the other rebels and soldiers, only a few young and strong people were selected to guard the various cities, and all the rest were disbanded and divided into nearby households.

There is no shortage of land, only population.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The artillery bombarded the city walls incessantly, but the generals were talking about other things, and they were all wearing masks.

Fei Ruhe said anxiously: "Yesterday, nineteen more people were diagnosed with the plague, damn it, the soldiers under my command who died of the plague were countless times more than those who died in battle." What kind of bird fight? ”

Zhang Tieniu sighed and said, "Alas, there are more in my camp, and there are thirty-six people who were infected with the plague yesterday. ”

Huang Fei smiled bitterly: "It's no more ordinary, I've been in Shandong for several years." I usually don't dare to train soldiers, and when I get together, I will do bad things. ”

"You're in Denglai, the plague isn't bad, I'm there too." Ma Jinzhong was at the center of the plague.

Fei Ruhe said: "Hurry up and finish this battle, find a place to live and rest, and keep gathering troops to fight, this plague can't stop at all." ”

After the fighting subsided, it was impossible for the two divisions in Shandong to go north again.

Non-combat attrition is too serious!

Azig in Jinan City was also tormented by the plague. A quarter of the Eight Banners under his command have been infected with the disease, and there is a lack of treatment options, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of the Datong army.

To tell the truth, even if the city wall is destroyed, it will be two groups of plague carriers fighting each other, and the number of infected soldiers will become even more at that time.

Inside and outside the city, there is no interest in fighting, and the plague is the biggest enemy.

Gao Jie, who abducted Li Zicheng's concubine, and Li Chengdong, who participated in the Ten Days of Yangzhou and the Three Massacres of Jiading, are also trapped in Jinan City at the moment.

Because the Ming Dynasty collapsed too quickly, Gao Jie and Li Chengdong have not yet become bigger.

Li Chengdong is Gao Jie's general, Gao Jie is He Renlong's general, and He Renlong is at the same level as Zuo Liangyu.

After He Renlong was killed by Li Zicheng in Henan, Gao Jie and Li Chengdong both defected to Zuo Liangyu and went to Shandong, and then joined the Manchu Qing Dynasty together.

"Harrier, you can't beat it," Li Chengdong persuaded, "If we continue like this, if we don't get killed by the Datong army outside, we will also be infected with the plague and die." You have to quietly send people out of the city, contact the Datong army, and finish the battle as soon as possible. ”

Gao Jie sighed and said, "Keep an eye on the Tartars, otherwise I would have sent someone out of the city a long time ago." ”

Li Chengdong said: "More and more Tartar soldiers are infected with the epidemic, and more and more city walls are handed over to our Han soldiers to guard. In a day or two, you will definitely find an opportunity. ”

Gao Jie clenched his fists, smashed his palms and said, "The other Han generals in the city are probably thinking about defecting for a long time, but they can secretly connect with each other. When the time comes, let's kill in the city first, if we can kill a few Tartar officials, wouldn't it be a great achievement? ”

"It's best to be like this, Emperor Zhao will definitely sit in the world, and you can't be wrong with him." Li Chengdong said.

The two discussed the details again and agreed on their respective goals in tandem.

Li Chengdong got up and went back to eat, and after nightfall, he climbed the city wall and checked the situation under the pretext of patrolling the night. As I walked, I suddenly felt a fever all over my body, and my brain was dizzy and painful.

Sitting down against the female wall, Li Chengdong was so scared that he trembled, he knew that he was also sick.

Gao Jie, who has been in contact with him for a long time, may not be able to escape this plague.
