Chapter 69 You Dang News

In a blink of an eye, the war drum conveyed Dasu's orders to the ears of every Eight Banner Army. As Dasu moved slowly forward from the formation, the general flag of the commander's determination was fully revealed. Even Wu Rujie, the Gushan Ezhen of the Han army flag, and the officers of all levels of the Han army flags below, also moved forward one after another.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the military law was implemented quite strictly, and according to the slave system of the Eight Banners, the master was in a trap and the slaves below could not be defeated. Therefore, at this moment, when officers at all levels, or masters at all levels below Zidasu, had already decided to fight to the death, the slaves below naturally had no way out.

The Qing army suddenly rose up, and even overwhelmed the Ming army's shouts and killings. The Manchu Yellow Flag's Border Armor Tubai was stabbed into the lower abdomen by a long spear, and rushed up shouting.

No matter how dying the Eight Banners soldier in front of him, Tubai's father was not originally the Eight Banners Army of the old man, but the fish-skin Tartars who caught the flag when Huang Taiji was alive, and even had a dress sewn with salmon at home. He joined during the full rise of the Eight Banners, and had never experienced the hardships of the lower-level bannermen at the end of the Nurhaci era. After entering the pass, he quickly became rich and hungry by enclosing land and charging methods, which made them extremely loyal to the Eight Banners group. The master here had already made up his mind to fight to the death, and as a slave, he naturally could not be left behind.

He slashed hard, cut off the retracted gun rod, and took advantage of the spearman's surprise and rushed straight over. He stabbed him with a round shield, and then another shot. He twisted his waist and the spear drew from his waist. With years of combat experience, Tubai avoided the assassination of three spears in a row, but the steps under his feet did not stop at all.

In a blink of an eye, Tubai had already rushed into the inner circle. The spearmen in the front two rows of Ming army could no longer stab him. What they wanted to dodge was the spears behind which had greatly limited the angle of attack.

"Run in and kill the long-distance player. The rest are long-distance soldiers. When you enter the inner circle, you will be like cutting melons and vegetables. The breaking formation will start with me, I am Batulu of the Qing Dynasty!"

Adrenaline was rapidly secreted, making his movements extremely sensitive and fierce. His bravery had reached the extreme. Tubai felt that he had never reached such a state in his life. He cut off a spear. Unexpectedly, the next second, a big foot wearing iron boots kicked his lower abdomen. The force was not small, but it was not enough to kick him to the ground. But at the moment when his body was inconsistent, a spear stabbed straight towards him and headed straight towards his chest.

In a blink of an eye, the spear was approaching and stabilized its body slightly. Then Tubai was an iron bridge, forcibly leaning back, watching the spear rubbing against the tip of his nose and piercing the air. However, when he stood up again, he saw only a light passing by, and all the feelings and reactions completely left him.

This Manchu samurai's martial arts master was extraordinary. He actually dodged several spears in succession and then broke in. But just as he broke into the inner circle, the long-distance player he was about to kill just now, as the attack direction diversified, he had to rely on more movements to avoid the attack of the Ming army. However, the more movements, the more flaws there will be, and flaws eventually became the reason why he was killed by the Ming army, who may not be able to compare with these martial arts and experiences, but were better at cooperating with them.

With one knife, Tubai's head was cut off. The long-drawn player did not expand and moved forward alone, but retreated properly to the forefront of the front line, continuing to provide close-up protection for the spearmen in the army.

After a long time, as more and more Eight Banners Army, especially those middle and lower-level officers and warriors who were hit by the dense spears of the Ming army, the remaining Eight Banners Army was no longer the bravery and perseverance of the past, and began to retreat step by step. The three-way bulge, accompanied by the deafening tiger roar, the Ming army launched the final harvest. However, the Eight Banners Army suddenly rose with the Ming army's offensive and soon changed from retreating to collapse.

Since the rise of the Wanli Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Manchuria have rarely lost their achievements. Even in the battle of Hengyang, only one Nikan and hundreds of guards were killed. In the southeast, it was invincible and invincible. However, when the breaking sound of the invincible myth of the Eight Banners of Manchuria came, it completely shocked everyone on the southern battlefield.

The Eight Manchurian Banners and the Eight Han Banners, who acted as infantry, all ran towards the war horses behind the formation, trying to escape from this Shura field; and the Eight Mongolian Banners, after a moment of unbelievable moment, began to flee northward; the soldiers of the Ming army were not completely touched by this scene, but they still moved forward step by step under the military order, and even defeated the seemingly invincible existence, which drove them to launch a more violent harvest with the cavalry that rushed out from the flanks and the formation gap!

"this……"

The scholars under Chen Wen's general were trying to use the rebuilding of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain to check and balance Chen Wen's affairs not long ago.

Wang Jiang, Shen Diaolun, Zou Xiaonan and Jiang Han were either the original team of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, or came with the idea of ​​fighting for his friends again. Seeing this scene happening, in addition to being shocked, his heart was more excited. He was excited about the continuation of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain to defeat the Eight Banners of Manchus, and even more excited about the hope of restoring the Han world.

However, Huang Zongxi, his younger brother Huang Zongyan and the Wan family brothers, were also shocked, and his complex eyes were more afraid, even three more fear than when he discovered Dasu.

"Where has Ma Shuai chased after him?"

After asking the battlefield on the Northern Front in an understatement, it seemed that there was nothing to do with children playing house. In fact, compared to the Eight Banners Army, the Green Camp of this era was indeed not an important existence, but just a supplement to the Eight Banners Army. Especially for the defeated generals like Zhejiang Fubiao, Chen Wen was not worried about Tian Xiong's other tricks - unless the thousands of Green Camp soldiers he brought were all zombies, it would be useless.

However, Chen Wen's voice made them realize who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was in charge. They all shuddered and retracted their gaze and turned to look at Chen Wen tremblingly.

"Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom and the Duke of the Kingdom. After this great victory, the Tartars will not dare to look directly at the king's army."

Wang Jiang and others bowed to congratulate, but Huang Zongxi and others were beaten a beat. It was not until Wang Jiang finished speaking that he hurriedly said the congratulations, as if he was afraid that this slow reaction would cause Chen Wen's dissatisfaction.

The slow shot of Huang Zongxi and others all looked in Chen Wen's eyes. He could say that he knew what these people were thinking about in their minds.

Taking Huang Zongxi as an example, he appealed for his father Huang Zunsu when he was young and avenged his filial son. He also inherited all the characteristics of his father Yu Donglin Party.

The Chongzhen Dynasty joined the Fushe and became an active member; the Hongguang Dynasty and other Fushe members jumped up and down; in order to fight against Yu Huang, the Lujian Kingdom, agreed to the army who went to Japan to beg for his troops. Huang Zongxi spent the first half of his life in the party struggle and the anti-Qing.

At the beginning of the Kangxi Dynasty, as the world was almost settled, the man turned to seclusion and became a survivor. Although he refused to become an official again and again, his son Huang Baijia and his disciple Wansitong were sent in history.

When the Three Feudal Rebellion was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, along with the Zhuang clan Ming History case, Lu Qiao Jiwen case, Huang Peidao poetry case, Chen Tianfu case, Zhu Fangdan case, Dai Mingshi case and other literary inquisitions, as well as expanding the scale of the imperial examination, respecting Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and promoting the integration of Manchu and Han literati and officials. After this series of soft and hard work were used together, it turned to sing praises to the Qing court.

No matter how many thinkers such as Gu Yanwu and Lu Liuliang, Huang Zongxi praised the Qing Dynasty in his later years, but his thoughts and works strongly opposed the monarch. The contradictions manifested by such mixed words and deeds, especially through his life experience, can be clearly seen that as a representative figure of the gentry class in the late Ming Dynasty, a southeastern gentry, a handicraft owner, a mine owner and a defender of maritime interests, the identity and self-positioning of the Donglin Party run through his life.

And what he did, even the democratic ideas reflected in his works, were actually just for the Southeast Gentlemen and the Donglin Party.

Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty began to invite him to serve, he asked his son and disciples to come forward, control him from behind, take the opportunity of history to whitewash the Donglin Party and slander political enemies; therefore, when the Qing Dynasty began to win over the Han scholars and officials with both soft and hard work, he turned to the Qing Dynasty, completely ignoring his later years and was unable to protect himself; so, when Chen Wen began to sort out taxes and touched the illegal interests of the Southeast gentry, Huang Zongxi would use the predecessor of the Ming army in Zhejiang to try to balance the people!

Through history, Chen Wen could clearly see the Confucian scholar-official class in the late Ming Dynasty bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When facing the Ming Dynasty, they robbed the power of the central and local areas to maximize their interests; but when the Manchu nobles raised their butcher knife to them, they could only reluctantly kneel down and lick these unreasonable slave owners.

The reason why they feared the Qing Dynasty was that the Qing Dynasty had the Eight Banners brigades, which was known as "invincible". With this deterrent force that was sufficient to serve as the decisive needle for the sea, the Confucian scholar-official class did not dare to do anything at all. On the contrary, the group of Han army, represented by the Three Feudals, who saw the significant decline in combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army, raised the banner of rebellion, which led to the general outbreak of the Three Feudals Rebellion.

Therefore, if you want to fight against the Confucian scholar class, you must first establish a strong enough interest group and have strong combat power that can shock them. However, before the interest group is strong enough and the reputation of combat power is enough to crush their rebellious nerves, rashly intensifying the contradictions can only make your own situation more difficult.

Historically, because the Qing Dynasty faced the national anti-Qing movement, the large-scale anti-Qing group could not pose a threat to it before it dared to slaughter the Southeast gentry. Chen Wen could not understand what the Qing Dynasty understood. Therefore, he could always be a little tolerant to the scholar class, but he always attacked those stubborn rebels on the charge of betrayal, so as to further feed him to build a Zhejiang military landlord group that was still like a baby.

It is not difficult to be beaten if you fall behind. It is not difficult to defeat them. Although it is a bit unexpected, it is reasonable to win so many Qing army commanders, because between the battlefield on the North Line to the starting point of the Qing army and the inevitable path for escape, there are Qingxian Ridge and Xishan stuck on the road. The terrain suddenly becomes narrower, like a urn. When you come in, it will be difficult to get out.

According to the previous plan, if there were no special circumstances, after defeating the Qing army, the Ming army commanders took advantage of the situation to recover Yuyao and Cixi to cut off Ningshao Road and divide and eat the two palaces.

The arrangement of the Qing army made Chen Wen need to know the situation of pursuing the Eight Banners Army before he could make a decision. Fortunately, after a moment, Lou Jiye's envoy also rushed back to the camp and reported to Chen Wen about the situation on their side.

"Reported to the commander, the last general was ordered to lead Nantang, and some of the soldiers participating in the battle of Feixiong Second Battalion and the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the cavalry guards pursued the Eight Banners Army. At the second hour of You, the two battalions entered Tangqiao and beheaded from the Han army's 133 level below the Gushan Erzhen Wu Rujie in Gushan, and captured 81 people, and were captured indefinitely. Most of the rest fled to Shangyu County."

Since many of the Qing army seized the war horses behind the formation when they fled, as long as they could pass through Daxi smoothly, it was quite possible to escape successfully, and it was normal that there were fewer beheadings and captures in the pursuit battle, especially compared with nearly 700 beheadings and more than 1,000 captives on the main battlefield.

After receiving this news, Chen Wen called a group of staff officers, roughly estimated the distance on the map, and issued further orders.

The next afternoon, after a morning of preparation, a large number of bones were collected and buried in a huge pit at the main battlefield of the Battle of Siming Lake in the fourth year of Yongli. An uncarved tombstone was erected, with an inscription on which the heroes of Siming Mountain died in the fourth year of Yongli.

After reading the sacrifices that Huang Zongxi made overnight, all the officers and soldiers of the captive admiral battalion were lifted up and knelt in front of the tombstone with their hands tied up. The swords and axes behind them were waiting for Chen Wen's orders.

"It is a pity for me to die here with you four years ago. Four years later, I, Chen Wen, came from Zhejiang Admiral Tian Xiong and the deputy general of the Later Camp, to sacrifice to you all. I hope you will protect the spirits of the heavens and protect the King of Zhejiang to expel the Tartars and restore the old land of the Han family!"

With Chen Wen's word "kill", the sword and axe warriors started from the soldiers, and each hundred people pulled up the camp soldiers to behead each team. The officers stayed at the end.

Back on the temporary military target platform, Huang Zongxi, Wang Jiang and other scholars were already very pale. They were persuading that they had done it, but for Chen Wen, today not only to make up for the regrets he left behind, but also to uphold justice for these martyrs. As for whether the Qing army would fight to the death in the future, when the news of the Eight Banners Army's defeat at the shore of Siming Lake spread, there is no need to worry about this anymore.

The beheading continued, and he glanced at the generals standing on both sides, all of whom showed a happy expression. Only Yu Youming seemed a little anxious.

"Yu Youming, captain of the Third Squadron of the Iron Cavalry Camp."

"I'm in a humble position!"

Hearing Chen Wen's call, Yu Youming rushed out and fell to the ground. In fact, Chen Wen called him back yesterday for today, so he naturally knew. But he didn't hear Chen Wen's call for a moment, and his heart became unable to rest for a moment. When he heard the call, he naturally stood up quickly.

"I ask you, do you remember what you said at your father's funeral?"

Hearing Chen Wen’s question, Yu Youming’s tears immediately splashed out, and then shouted loudly: “I will never dare to forget until my humble position.”

"Very good." As he said that, Chen Wen, who was cold and frosty, extended his hand and pointed at the officers of the Thunderbiao camp who were waiting to be executed. "You will execute Tian Xiong's death penalty!"

"The last general obeys the order, and the last general thanks the Duke of the State for his great kindness."

Among the Ming army in Zhejiang, due to the existence and promotion of the China Revival Association, officers at all levels have gradually abandoned the kneeling ceremony. Chen Wen even issued another order, declaring the principle of no kneeling ceremony in the army. However, when Chen Wen handed Tian Xiong's life to Yu Youming, the young cavalry general immediately bowed to the ground, knocking his head as if he was about to smash his head to the ground.

No one of the generals present felt different in this scene. Yu Shizhong was once a colleague who had fought with them, and had taught many old artillery, engineers and staff officers' observation techniques. However, a year ago, this colleague died, not on the battlefield as he wished, but in Tian Xiong's "bacterial warfare".

Yu Youming in front of him is Yu Shizhong's son, which is well-known. Now Chen Wen has given this young cavalry general a chance to avenge his father, and they have only touched and sighed. It is also natural for human beings to be rude.

"Stand up!" Yu Youming, who expressed his gratitude with a bowing ceremony, then Chen Wen said: "You, go and get out Tian Xiong's heart for me now. I want to see what color the heart of this traitor is!"

"As for the order!"

……………………

In May of the eighth year of Yongli, the Ming army in Zhejiang returned to the old land of Siming Mountain to rescue the resurrected Ming army in Dalan Mountain. On the ninth day of the lunar month, after defeating the Biao Battalion of Dinghai in a few days ago, Xiuguo Duke Chen Wen personally led the fifth battalion of Nantang, Feixiong, Tiantai, Huangyan, and Ruian to fight with the Eight Banners of Hangzhou led by Dasu, Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion and Zhejiang Governor Biao Battalion to fight on the shore of Siming Lake.

In this battle, the king's army defeated the Eight Banners Army and the elite troops of Zhejiang Green Camp, beheaded more than 2,000 people, captured more than 6,000 people, and seized them in vain. After the war, Chen Wen beheaded more than 2,000 prisoners of the Tiao camp on the grounds of restoring the blood feud in the battle of Siming Lake, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners of the Tiao camp, and sacrificed his heart to the emperor, and finally fulfilled his promise.
