Chapter 110: The collapse of the sky

Shi Lang, a native of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, was the nephew of Shi Fu, a Zheng group reincarnated as Shi Fu in the Zheng Zhilong era. Tianlai Novel | 2 In his early years, he existed as Shi Fu's subordinates in the Zheng group. Later, with Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was assigned to Li Chengdong's command to attack Guangdong with his uncle Shi Fu. In the second year of Yongli, Li Chengdong was excluded by Li Chengdong's headquarters. Shi Lang returned to Fujian and surrendered to Zheng Chenggong, becoming an important general in the early days of Zheng Chenggong. Until Shi Lang killed Zheng Chenggong's general Zeng De, and fled to the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong ruled the harshness of the emperor, which was very famous in history. When Shi Lang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong immediately killed Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan and his younger brother Shi Xian. However, in order to beautify Shi Lang, some people in later generations said that Zheng Chenggong killed Shi Lang's family for no reason, which led to Shi Lang surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Zeng Dequan had knowledge, so he probably couldn't even find a place to cry.

Chen Wen had asked Geng Jimao for two people, one of which was Shi Lang, and he handed it over to Zheng Chenggong to ease the conflict between the two sides. Of course, for Shi Lang, who has not yet appeared and has been living under someone else's roof, Chen Wen had originally planned to deal with it by himself, but thinking that it might be more meaningful to return the jade to Zhao, so he asked Zhang Jun to give this guy to Zheng Chenggong.

Poor, General Shi Lang, who recovered Taiwan's "national hero" for "our Qing Dynasty", had not yet waited for his in-laws Huang Xigun and Huang Xigun's in-laws Yao Qisheng, and he had no chance to be heavily used by the Qing Dynasty by the shameless traitor Geng Jimao. After Chen Wen's turnaround, he returned to where he fled to the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Shi Lang, and in Zhang Jun's words, the guy in the box had probably eaten raw. When Zheng Chenggong raised his head, his eyes at Zhang Jun were much more relaxed, no longer as he had just entered the door.

"I'll have to wait for Captain Zhang for a while. I have a letter and I need to send it to your general."

"I will obey the order."

With Zheng Chenggong's temper, Shi Lang was dead. The next day, Zhang Jun didn't care about the crowded crowds of people watching and executing the execution, so he brought Zheng Chenggong's letter to Nanchang.

After Zhang Jun set off, a few days later, the people who had gone north had already arrived at Shaowu Mansion City and had a rest for a day. The person in the box was lifted out and tied to the execution platform in the city.

The one who was escorted along the way was Wang Zhigang, the left-ranking general of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, and he was here to punish him.

Wang Zhigang was the murderer of the Shaowu Mausoleum, but the Qing court still stationed here as the general of Fujian's left-wing general. His actions in Shaowu were slightly inferior to those of Ma Jinbao and Jinhua. There were many Wang Zhigang here who repeatedly entered Jiangxi to assist the local green camps in encirclement and suppression of the Qing rebels. However, in history, Wang Zhigang was also confined to Liaodong for bribing the eunuch Wu Liang's case with robbery of wealth and wealth, and finally died on the road.

That was already the twelve years of Yongli, and now, four years ago, he had been brought back here, just like Ma Jinbao back then.

The execution stage was already crowded with people. The gentry and people in Shaowu have suffered for a long time, and they all hoped that this guy would not die well. Now, they would not come to see it with their own eyes. Now, the garrison of Shaowu Zhang Zisheng even put the tablets of Jiangxi Governor Jie Chongxi, Dingnan Marquis Cao Dahao, Ning Hongbo Hong Guoyu and other Jiangxi martyrs next to the tablets of the martyrs of Shaowu.

"Master Xie restored this bloody feud for us!"

The time had come, Zhang Zisheng bowed the tablet and bowed several times to the direction of Chen Wenxing Camp in Ganzhou, and then issued an order to execute Wang Zhigang to sternly kill him.

……………………

Just when the two famous generals of "My Qing Dynasty" were framed by shameless traitors, Ganzhou Jiancheng, which had dragged two generals to death, failed to defend in front of the Ming army in Zhejiang for a day. Such shocking news spread along with the Ming army's military's commandments, and soon caused a larger-scale chaos.

On August 29, the eighth year of Yongli, Geng Jimao, the King of Jingnan who was responsible for guarding Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, announced that he would be the chief emperor of Yongli to draw a clear line with the Qing Dynasty.

On the same day, Hao Jiushang, the general of Chaozhou, Guangdong, of the Qing Dynasty, announced that he would do his best to be the emperor of Yongli, and declared that he would work together with King Li Dingguo of Xining, Duke of Xiu, Chen Wen of Xiu, and Duke of Zhang Zheng Chenggong to wipe out the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

On the first day of September of the eighth year of Yongli, Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan who was responsible for guarding Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty, was expelled to Huizhou by the 18-year-old prince Shang Zhixin. Shang Zhixin, under the support of several generals such as Xu Erxian, the general of Pingnan vassal, announced that he would return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and he would be the emperor of Yongli. At the same time, he would discuss the division of defense zones with King Li Dingguo of Xining and Duke of Xiu.

At the same time, after entering Huizhou, Shang Kexi, who was expelled by his son, led the vassal soldiers who were still loyal to him, soon connected Huizhou General Huang Yingjie and Wu Liuqi, the general stationed in northern Chaozhou, and continued to fight for the Qing Dynasty under the banner of King Pingnan. However, in private, he made a contract with Chen Wen and Hao Jiushang, the two bordering forces, Xing Baima, to not invade each other. Only Zheng Chenggong continued to maintain military confrontation with him, and on this day, he sent Fu Ming Hou Lincha to lead the navy to fight against Huizhou, with the target of some county towns and villages along the coast of Huizhou.

After the fall of Nangan provinces, several forces appeared one after another, and the wonder of the king's flag changed from the top of the city. On the day Shang Zhixin announced that it was anyway, under Xinhui City, Guangdong Huizhou pirate Sun Yunxuan silently watched them besieged for two months but still firmly in the hands of the Qing army. The white flag was raised shortly after a fast horse entered.

He is from Haifeng, Huizhou, his father is a pirate from Yuehai, and he is also a pirate. He is good at fidging out firearms on weekdays. This time, he responded to the call of King Li Dingguo of Xining and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Lian Chengbi to siege Xinhui. In addition to his long-term determination to oppose the Qing Dynasty, he also had the intention of being able to touch various firearms in Li Ding**.

After arriving at Xinhui, Li Dingguo himself did not appear. There was only one general who brought more than a thousand troops and horses from the southwest Ming army headquarters and two hundred war horses. Two war elephants participated in the siege. The others were local rebels in Guangdong like them.

The siege was more than two months old, but it was not defeated for a long time, especially Li Dingguo did not arrive at the city until two days ago to preside over the siege. Li Dingguo came in person, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. As a result, a messenger entered Li Dingguo's tent, and the siege stopped under the military order. When the messenger entered the city again, he had the current scene.

The Qing army's flag fell and the city gates were wide open. The Xinhui defenders who had been entangled with them for two months and the two Qing troops who were guarding each other went out of the north gate of Xinhui County, passed the entrance specially opened for them to the provincial capital of Guangzhou, Guangdong. After the Qing army left the city, Xinhui quickly raised the banner of the Ming army, and Li Dingguo's headquarters troops entered one after another with their rebels.

"Marrior Chen, is this a win?"

The general Chen who Sun Yunxuan mentioned was Chen Liangce, the general of Linghai stationed on Shangchuanshan and Xiachuanshan, and a branch of the Guangdong Rebel Army. Not long ago, he killed the general of the Guangdong Navy, Gai Yipeng, and seized the sea control power of Guangzhou Bay for the Ming army. He was the foreign Ming army general who could speak in front of Li Dingguo and his temporary boss.

"What else can you do?"

"The king is indeed extraordinary. He scared the Tartars away as soon as he came." Speaking of this, Sun Yunxuan quickly added. "If it weren't for the fact that Marshal Chen killed Gai Yipeng and cut off their thoughts, they would probably have to postpone it for a few more days."

Chen Liangce glanced at Sun Yunxuan. This little pirate leader from Huizhou learned things very quickly, but he had fought too few battles and his combat experience still needs to be increased. In addition, at the bottom, he knew much less inside information.

"Brother Sun, this time it's not the great king, let alone me. Let me tell you the truth, it was Duke Xiu of Zhejiang who forced the Shang family out of force. Shang Kexi's old bastard son forced him away, and he took his people to Guangzhou to announce that anyway, he agreed with the king to hand over Xinhui and Xinning County to the south to the king...

After saying that, Chen Liangce didn't care about the little pirate leader standing at the gate of the city, and rode his war horses into the city with the army.

After a while, Sun Yunxuan, who had opened his mouth for a while, swallowed his saliva and finally took back the lower teeth, but the small drum in his heart was still pounding.

"You can scare the Shang family like this far away in Zhejiang. My God, how powerful and evil must this Duke Xiu be."

Thinking of this, Sun Yunxuan realized that he had been standing here for a long time. The old brothers behind him were already impatient, so he continued to walk into the city.

The military camps in Xinhui City have been emptied, half of which are left to Li Dingguo's headquarters, and the other half are left to several rebels with relatively strong efforts. The other rebels and most of the soldiers of Li Dingguo are still stationed in the military camps outside the city. Although he has few subordinates, he has also been involved in Chen Liangce.

Following Chen Liangce's subordinates walking on the avenue of Xinhui County, Sun Yunxuan looked around and knew that Xinhui is one of the three most prosperous cities in Guangdong Province. Many houses outside the city have been destroyed during the siege. Who knew that when they entered the city, they were very messy and full of dilapidated garbage. Not to mention his hometown Haifeng, the nearby towns are incomparable.

"When you fight, the yamen runners don't have the time to clean up these."

I passed this idea in my mind, but after a closer look, the timid people in the alley near me were all ragged clothes and had a good face. They looked hungry for a long time.

"No, I've only been in two months, why is it like this?"

After thinking about it, Sun Yunxuan quickly attributed this phenomenon to the fact that all he saw were poor people. When the city was besieged, the poor must have hunger first. This principle is reasonable wherever he goes.

Once he thought of this, he suddenly realized his mind. Unexpectedly, a man in a ragged clothes and a look of dishevel rushed out and walked in front of him and bowed.

"This general, Zhou Shixiang, a student of the student newcomer, asks to see the King of Xining. Please give me some advice."

"You said you are a scholar?"

If I hadn't looked at it carefully, although the man's clothes were torn, the original materials were very good. Sun Yunxuan would never believe that this man, who was like a beggar, was a scholar who had Youdian and could speak in front of the county magistrate, and was also a scholar.

However, Sun Yunxuan didn't know that if the scene in front of him was delayed for several months, what he saw would no longer be as simple as ragged clothes and a look of dishevel.

After entering the city in history, the Qing army guarding the city began to plunder the people in the city, and even scholars with fame were not spared.

Later, what was even more crazy was that when the city besieged for several months, there were still enough food and grass for reinforcements in the warehouse, the people were captured in the city for food. For a time, "the skeletons were placed in the land, and more than 10,000 were placed in the land. The juren Mo Zhilian, the tribute student Li Lingchang, the students Yu Hao, Lu Ao, Li Jingdeng and others all took meat on the anvil." "On the 14th day, the reinforcements rescued the siege. The horses in the city had surplus grains, and the soldiers had surplus grains, and the chicken bones were not supported." "It was because they were surrounded for half a year, half of those who died of hunger, half of those who killed food, and half of those who were plundered. The sky was filled with chaos, and there was no such miserable person."

Sun Yunxuan was very lucky to not see that scene of hell on earth. And the people of Xinhui gentry like Zhou Shixiang would not fall into the misery of the parents, wives, concubines, and children, and the meals of the Qing army. They were only robbed of some family wealth, which was even more of a great blessing.

……………………

On October 13th, after several months of trekking, Prince An Yue Leshuai, who was personally named General Dingyuan by Shunzhi, crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangning City, the ruling center of Jiangnan.

The entry ceremony was carefully prepared by Ma Guozhu for a long time. In the unfavorable situation where Hong Chengchou died and Jiangxi province fell, it was necessary to inspire people to let the gentry and people in Jiangnan know that the Qing Dynasty did not give up on Jiangnan. The army led by the Prince of Manchu has arrived, and it is even more in order to intimidate the gentry and prevent people from deviating from their hearts.

To this end, Ma Guozhu not only ordered the Jiangnan south of the Yangtze River, but also asked them to send officials to greet them, but also invited influential gentry in the local area to welcome them. Even Qian Qianyi and He Wangsheng, who were said to have something to do with the Anti-Qing Rebel Army, were no exception. He even specially invited them to see the glory of the Eight Banners of Manchuria with their own eyes and aroused their fear that they were once dominated by the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners.

He was trekking along the way, in midsummer. Except for Nikan's one, he was probably the only one who was so unlucky to lead his troops to fight on such a day.

On the way, according to the suggestion of Prince Jiergalang of Heshuo Zheng, Shunzhi added two thousand Manchurian Eight Banners and two thousand Han Army Eight Banners to him, with a large army of up to 12,000. Among them, the two thousand Han Army Eight Banners was one of the four towns in Jiangbei and the only remaining Guangchang Bo Liu Liangzuo. This man was a long-time general. When he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he followed Boluo to suppress Jin Shengheng a few years ago. Anyway, he had some understanding of Jiangxi and Zhejiang's geography and hydrology, which was a rare helper.

In this way, the Eight Banners Army heading south with 12,000 south-south Eight Banners led by Jiangning General Hahamu, and two to three thousand garrisoned the remnants of the Eight Banners led by Pingnan General Dasu. The Eight Banners Army alone had 16,700, which was one of the few heavy troops since the Dading of Jiangnan. What's more, there were the Green Camps in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong's vassal soldiers to cooperate, Yue Le had great confidence in completely eliminating the Ming army in Zhejiang.

On October 13th, the sky was just right, unlike when Duoduo entered Nanjing, and he was very satisfied with Ma Guozhu's welcome ceremony, especially when he saw the Han scholars with rat tails with money kneeling on their feet to welcome him, and he felt comfortable as he looked at them.

The master was happy. That was the greatest blessing for the slave. Although Ma Guozhu was an important Han minister who had been promoted in the era of Huang Taiji, the Han people were Han people. The status of the Han military flag was slightly inferior to that of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, even if it was the Eight Banners of Mongolia. And he, a local governor, said to be a rank-in official, was still a slave of the Aisin Jueluo family. What's more, the boss just died of a crime. Whether the charges were made depends on the meaning of the Red Prince. If he is not attentive now, should he be attentive when he is thrown into Ningguta?

After passing the crowd that was kneeling to greet them, Yue Le and Ma Guozhu, who were leading the way, would soon enter the city gate. The next thing was to have a banquet, bribe, bribe, and banquet. When the army was rested, and by the way, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's response to the order was delivered, they could go south in a large way.

Half a horse was behind, Ma Guozhu nodded and bowed and patted the young prince who had been half of this age, which had been used for a long time, but the effect was still the same as before. At least Yue Le was very helpful.

Unexpectedly, after a moment, a fast horse rushed over. The horse knight was exhausted and desperate, and he didn't care about such a grand ceremony. He slaughtered from the war horse dozens of meters away in front of Yue Le and Ma Guozhu.

"Protect the prince!" The personal soldiers rushed to Yue Le and lined up into a wall of humans. Yue Le couldn't help but frowned and asked the landlord Ma Guozhu, "What's going on?"

"I'll let someone go and see it."

Ma Guozhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and was waiting for news from his personal soldiers. Unexpectedly, the personal soldiers of the Governor's Office carried the knight over. While the knight was vaguely seeing him, his crunchy lips squirmed, and his hoarse voice calmed everyone present like thunder.

"Reported to the old master of the army that Bei Zhi was the captain of the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. From the end of August to the beginning of September, King Jingnan, Prince Pingnan and General Hao Jiushang of Chaozhou betrayed the court one after another. Fuzhou was in danger. I hope reinforcements will go south as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the personal soldiers fainted, and there was silence near the side. Ma Guozhu was ashamed to death. As Yue Le's horse whip slipped from his hands, this amazing news spread among the crowd of people kneeling to welcome him in an unimaginable way. Even though some of them had already received the news not long ago, it did not affect the shouts of their hearts with others around them.
