Chapter 384: Restoring the Ganjiang River and Seeking the Moon
The trees fell and the money scattered, and they flew away when the disaster came.
The Qing soldiers' reaction was beyond Zhu Youlang's expectations, but after careful consideration, it was reasonable.
After all, they neither have the backbone like Hong Chengchou nor have absolute strength advantages. It is nothing more than the remnants and defeated generals gather together to keep warm.
With their luck, the Ming army would not attack so quickly, or they would not attack so resolutely and thoroughly.
But in fact, the Ming army attacked extremely resolutely.
The moment the city wall was blown up, the Qing soldiers' mentality collapsed and they each opened the city gates to escape.
But this is undoubtedly a suicide act.
The Ming army had surrounded Ganjiang City. Not to mention humans, even a fly could not fly out.
These Qing soldiers ran out of the city, and the Ming army also saved them from chasing them one by one. One round of bows and arrows shot them into hedgehogs.
Seeing that the situation was not good, these Qing soldiers turned around and ran towards the city. They pushed each other and bumped into each other like headless flies.
Those smarter ones did not run out of the city at the beginning, but hid in a secluded place in the city.
Like an ancient temple, like a city god temple.
Hopefully, the Ming army will not search the whole city.
If they are found, they have no choice but to accept their fate.
The Ming army broke through the city very quickly, and within half an hour, they controlled all the city gates.
The main force of the Ming army entered the city to search and drove the remaining stubborn Qing army to a location north of the city.
This is the yamen gathering area in Ganjiang City. Under the organization of the prefecture, county magistrate and other officials, the Qing army was preparing to make a last try.
Forget it, I had a big scar on my head, and I had to bring two Ming soldiers to bury them before I died. In this way, I would not be lonely when I walked on the road to the underworld.
"Brothers fight with the Ming thief! The Ming thief will not let us go, fight them to the end!"
"Kill and kill!"
The Qing soldiers knew that they could not survive, so they tried their best to pull two cushions on their backs.
But how could this little force threaten the Ming army? Li Dingguo gave a cold order, and the elite Ming army began to charge.
The simple sandbag formation set up by the Qing army could not stop the Ming army's pace at all, and the muskets hit the sandbag and made a muffled sound.
The Qing soldiers could not stand up, and anyone who showed his face was beaten into a hornet's nest.
Hiss! Ming Thief’s firepower is too fierce!
In the final battle to pacify Jiangxi, all Ming troops were working hard to make their own generals look good in front of the emperor.
Although the emperor is impartial, he means to be even with a bowl of water.
But who doesn't want to fight at this time?
After all, the momentum of the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better. If you don’t fight now, it will be too late to fight in the future.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the Ming Dynasty is still the name of Ming and the emperor's surname is Zhu, it is actually very different from the original Ming Dynasty.
If Your Majesty revives, then it is like a member of the Han Guangwu period, and it will inevitably establish a great honor for the Lingyan Pavilion. They naturally hope that they can occupy a place in the Lingyan Pavilion in the future.
From the suppression of muskets to the close-fitting white blades, the Ming army was very perfect, and it was not enough to give the Qing soldiers a little way out.
"Kill the enemy!"
The Ming army's aura had been exerted, and even the shouts were filled with shocking power.
"Go to die!"
The spear breaks the armor into the flesh, stirs it between the chest and abdomen, and shatters the internal organs into pieces.
The Qing soldiers rolled in pain with their stomachs, begging for death.
A horizontal knife cut across the neck and drew a blood line, and then blood burst out like a splash of ink.
Heads rolling and corpses are everywhere.
The Qing soldiers cried and begged for mercy incessantly.
The Qing soldiers who had just made a harsh statement to fight the Ming army to the end were frightened and fled in fear as if they had encountered wild animals.
The Ming army is so terrible. Who can withstand such a fierce force?
"Good man, please spare me! Good man, please spare me!"
They knelt down and kowtowed one after another to try to make a fuss.
But the Ming soldiers slashed their heads without hesitation.
If these Qing soldiers voluntarily surrendered before siege, they might have been out of the way.
But now that things have come to this point, there is no room for recovery.
If they forgive these Qing soldiers, they will be sorry for the brothers who died in battle.
"puff!"
"Click!"
The sound of bone shattering and the sound of the muscles being cut off is mixed together, making people tremble.
Seeing that there was no hope of surrender, the Qing soldiers began to fight to the death.
However, they each fought without any formation and were defeated by the Ming army.
"Go to die!"
"Kill the enemy!"
The Ming army became more and more brave as they fought, and their blood stimulated their fighting spirit and rushed into the Qing army crowd like a tiger descending the mountain.
Seeing that the last hope was about to be shattered, the prefect of Ganzhou, the county magistrate and other officials all shouted sadly.
"Instead of being humiliated to death by falling into the hands of the Ming thief, it is better to understand and be happy with it!"
After saying that, they all rushed towards the screen wall in front of the yamen.
For a time, more than a dozen officials appointed by the Qing court were killed.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo thought to himself that these officials were somewhat backbone, but they chose the wrong partner to be loyal to him.
This is a big mistake.
The next step is to clean up the mess.
Li Dingguo must ensure that everything is properly prepared before the emperor enters the city, and that the emperor cannot be in danger at all.
The current situation in the Ming Dynasty is very difficult. The safety of the emperor is the top priority, and you must never capsize your ship in the gutter.
...
...
The Ganjiang Street, which was washed by clean water, was very clear, as if it was not stained with blood.
But the bloody smell in the air still reminds people that a fierce battle has just happened here.
The Ming emperor Zhu Youlang rode a tall horse into the city and went directly to the Ganjiang Prefecture Office.
It is normal for the people to hide at home and dare not go out to the streets as before. Zhu Youlang is no longer surprised.
The people need time to adapt.
As long as they feel the kingly way of the Ming Dynasty and the difference from the Qing Dynasty, they will soon return to their normal living conditions.
"Report to Your Majesty, these are the fake officials of the capitulation court that the minister ordered to capture. The rest have committed suicide because of the crime."
Li Dingguo clasped his fists and reported to Zhu Youlang.
"What should these thieves be dealt with? Please tell me."
"Behead all the people. The heads are hung on the top of the city to show their public!"
Zhu Youlang had no good feelings for these officials who worked for the Qing Dynasty, so he killed the matter.
But they are not as guilty as Hong Thief, and beheading is enough.
"Abide by the order!"
Li Dingguo held his fists and took the order.
"Cut it!"
The Ming soldiers dragged out these officials who were bundled like rice dumplings, and then slashed them with swords.
The officials wailed and begged for mercy, but with the screams, their heads were chopped down and rolled to the ground.
"Report to Your Majesty, all the thieves and fake officials have been sentenced to death."
"Well, clean up here."
After breaking the city, Zheng Chenggong rushed back to Nanjing in advance to prepare for the pickup.
Zhu Youlang would stay in Ganjiang for a few days and then lead his troops northward, cross Jiujiang and pass Anqing Prefecture to Nanjing.
