Chapter 142: Wei Gu

Prince Heshuo'an Aisin Gioro* Yue Le presided over the meeting of the ministers of the king as a prince in the late Shunzhi period. He was one of the core figures of the ruling group of the Qing court at that time. After Shunzhi's death, Yue Le, Jieshu and others led all the belees to support Kangxi ascend the throne. When Kangxi tried to get rid of the powerful ministers of the two yellow flags, Yue Le was also responsible for investigating and punishing Oboi's accomplices.

The Three Feudal Rebellion was initially tremendous. After Yue Le went to war, he insisted on seizing Jiangxi, thus cutting off the connection between Wu and Geng, giving the Qing Dynasty a strategic initiative, and then there was a strategic possibility to defeat the Three Feudal Rebellion and the Zheng family in Taiwan, which participated in the war.

A heavyweight in the early Qing Dynasty political arena, a coach who is good at strategy. Although there is still a lack of necessary training here, in Jiangning and Hangzhou, you can see that his own strength may not be able to hold on to the strategic defensive situation, so Jidu formed a larger army to move south. Unfortunately, before Jidu and even Jirgalang, he had already died in this large counterattack launched by the two southeastern vassals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which was also tragic.

After killing Yue Le, it was not too far from Hangzhou. After bringing what he should bring, Chen Wen led the guards back to Qiaosi Town.

Is it 13,000 at the beginning of the war?

For the sake of the present, only by trying to make contributions can one save his life. Even if he is exiled to Ningguta, it is at least stronger than death. As long as he is alive, he will definitely have a chance to turn the tables, and if he dies, there will be nothing left.

At this moment, Liu Liangzuo, a Han army's Huangqi Banner who had been pampered in Beijing for many years, was gone, but Liu Liangzuo, the warlord of Guangchang, who was nicknamed Huama Liu, was back.

"Continue to gather the defeated troops, as long as the Han army flag is included. If we have enough five or six hundred, I will have a way to get rid of the crime."

……………………

Five or six hundred people are not considered strong at all. It would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty or Chen Wen to be scared by the heads of five or six hundred soldiers and dare not touch him. The only possibility is that Liu Liangzuo had a way to create a miracle with these only five or six hundred Han military flags, but no matter how you look at this idea, it seems like a fool.

In the evening of that day, the defeated soldiers began to flee back to Hangzhou City in large numbers, and at the same time spread the news of the Qing army's defeat. Upon hearing the news, the officials, gentlemen and gentry in the city were in panic all day long, and like those who knew that they were about to become battlefields, they tried every means to escape from the city.

However, the city gates have long been taken over by the remnants of the Eight Banners and the city guards in Hangzhou. The ten city gates are closed. Even if the defeated soldiers flee back, they can only be reviewed and reorganized in the urn city. Others are not allowed to go out or enter. It is clear that they are to eliminate all the possibility of the Ming army entering the city in detail. However, the market outside the city gate has no such blockade, but on the way to the countryside, they are inevitably worried about their homes outside the city.

The city was panicked, and the whole city cried and called for her parents. Now, senior officers such as Yue Le, Yibai, and Liu Liangzuo were unable to come back alive. Even the Mongolian Gushan Ezhen, who was stationed in Hangzhou, had no shadow, and the whole city was full of sacred spirits. Fortunately, Hangzhou Governor Xiao Qiyuan was also a bannerman. Although it was just a Han military flag, the position of the governor was always able to stabilize people's hearts. The response just now was also done by Xiao Qiyuan.

The Governor's Yamen has now become the "City Defense Command" of the Qing Dynasty in Hangzhou. Whether it is the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army, or the Green Camp soldiers who come from the Pick Biao, Fu Biao, the city guards, or the yamen runners organized by the yamen at all levels, Ding Zhuang all obeyed Xiao Qiyuan's command.

"The flag managers of each Niulu must be mobilized to supplement the war soldiers of each Niulu. The city guards and the troops stationed in each gate, and the officers stationed in Hangzhou led the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners soldiers to supervise. The whole city is the key, but when they fight, they will not be able to win if they are young. Let the Niulu defend the war, and also prevent them from being scared in the battle. Raise and strode, you and the remaining Eight Banners Army support everywhere, go wherever they are tight."

"Everyone has heard of the Zhejiang bandits' coolie camp in the south. No one who enters can come out alive. Not to mention the bannermen, the same is true for the green camp. Otherwise, how could anyone with the surname Chen build so many fortresses and military facilities while reducing corvee service? They were filled out with their lives!"

Xiao Qiyuan's sensationalism at least appeared to arouse the struggle and determination of the Qing generals in the city. In this way, the defenders were all there, and the government was responsible for logistics and organizing auxiliary soldiers, civilians, and manufacturing guards. The whole city quickly mobilized.

Logically speaking, the Ming army had just fought a field battle of tens of thousands of people today, and they had to rest for a day and a half before returning to attack the city. The main body and reliance of the Ming army were infantry, and Hangzhou was also a strong city.

Late at night, Xu Xin, the head and general of the raising camp who was originally going to be on standby in the camp, secretly entered his nephew Xu Lei's house through the back door as a deputy general.

There were no one around, and this secret room was even more hidden. Even Xu Lei’s wife, Yu, didn’t know about it. Seeing this, the two naturally had no reservations and mentioned their current situation bluntly.

"The field battles ended in a crushing defeat. Governor Xiao also said that he could defend the city. This is a scam."

"That's true. His Highness's ability to attack the city is no less than his ability to fight in the field. Even if everyone works together to defend it, they can't withstand those giant cannons."

"So what if I can hold on? A prince died, Prince Heshuo, the emperor's most trusted cousin, is afraid that the day when the commendation for defending the city will be delivered, it will be the time for us to award the title."

"Uncle Second, things have reached this point today. Don't hesitate anymore, nor can you hesitate anymore."

As soon as Xu Lei said this, Xu Xin shivered immediately and became timid, as if he had remembered something that was terrifying.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. After a moment of silence, he suppressed his vocal cords and asked tremblingly: "Are you sure this can be done?"

"It will definitely be done!"

Compared to Xu Xin, Xu Lei's confidence is obviously more sufficient. I just don't know where his confidence comes from, whether he really has this confidence, or is he forcing himself to believe in the current desperate situation.

"Okay, then that's what you do. If you succeed, you will always have to bet this time."

Since that's the case, the two began to re-enter the matter they mentioned before, and confirmed that there was no problem. Xu Xin said to Xu Lei before leaving: "It depends on him if he is dead or alive, but this is unstable after all. Are you sure he will not turn against others?"

"No, definitely not. My nephew is fully prepared and can eliminate the hidden dangers here." After saying that, the bloodthirsty gaze in Xu Lei's eyes even his uncle felt chill at this moment.
