Chapter 46: Yangzhou Dream Part 4: Expulsion of the Tartar Slaves
When the night completely fell, the brigade of Malha had already entered Yangzhou City!
Previously, his cavalry guarded several city gates, making it impossible for the people inside to escape. Under the attack of his superior firepower, the Yangzhou Camp, which was a tough leader, suffered heavy casualties in just two hours, and finally had to surrender.
As soon as the Feng Battalion surrendered, Chen Hongmou obviously could no longer organize the young man to climb the city to defend. Moreover, under the leadership of Zhou Yunfeng, a battalion soldiers first surrounded the prefect's office!
Chen Hongmou is obviously a civil servant who is "loyal to the country". Even when he reaches this point, he does not intend to surrender. Instead, he piles up dry firewood in the backyard and pours a lot of sesame oil on it. Obviously, he wants to commit suicide by raising a fire.
At this moment, a pre-written notice was shot in with a bow and arrow.
Chen Hongmou sighed and took down the notice.
"Expelling the Tartar slaves"
"In Manchu, the Donghu outside the Great Wall was in the Ming Dynasty and was repeatedly troubled by borders. Later, taking advantage of China's troubles, he drove into the pass, destroyed our China, and followed our court and forced our Chinese people to be their slaves. If anyone refused to follow, he would kill hundreds of millions of people"
"There were ten days before Yangzhou, three massacres later, and there were thousands of miles of Sichuan without people. So far, it is vivid in my mind. Our Chinese people have been here for 140 years as the people of the country who destroyed the country! The Manchu court is extremely vicious and has been full of people now."
"Truqin, a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, pursues the Han classics, speaks Chinese, admires Chinese culture, and responds to the world. If the officials surrender, they will be exempted from their crimes. If they dare to resist, they will be killed without mercy! If the Han people become Manchu slaves and commit traitors, they will be like this."
"The slaves are full of money, rat tails, and they have harmed me for too long. All Chinese children, who really admire China, are willing to eat their flesh, drink their blood, suck their tendons, and crush their bones and ashes"
"All those who admire China and implement Chinese education are Chinese. Emperor Truqin came from heaven to save China and restore China"
Chen Hongmou naturally scoffed at the so-called "Mediterranean descendants of the Xia Dynasty", but the words "Ten Days in Yangzhou, Three Pictures of Jiading, Thousand Miles of Sichuan" deliberately wrote in a red pen still shocked him.
He originally wanted to pinch the notice into a ball and turn it into ashes with himself, but after seeing these words, he didn't take action for a long time.
Also, the paper used in this notice has very special fonts. He looked closer and carefully and said, "It was probably printed." "I didn't expect that their movable type level has also developed to such a level."
After a while, he sighed and then walked out with the notice.
You can see that the family, who was mobilized by him for enthusiasm, also breathed a sigh of relief.
....
Marha occupied the Lianghuai Salt Transportation History Office.
Zhou Yunfeng and the master came to him. Tuo Guang came in with Marha. When he saw the master, he nodded and smiled.
Marha also laughed and said, "Looking at this, you two really look like each other"
Tuo Guang laughed and said, "At this time, I won't hide it from the general. This brother who serves as the chief lieutenant in Lianghuai Yanshi Yamen is his younger brother, whose real name is Tuo Yuan."
"As for this young leader of the crane dance wardrobe business, he is even more famous"
Marha stared at him carefully for a long time, and then said for a while: "This young man looks a bit like that guy Zhou Jixun"
"Hahaha", Tuo Guangda laughed, "The general has good eyesight, he is Zhou Jixun's eldest son"
Malha pulled Zhou Yunfeng over, "How old are you this year?"
Zhou Yunfeng replied: "Report to the general, he is nineteen years old this year"
Malha silently calculated in his heart, "That's Xian Sanmei's son, right?"
Xian Sanmei is the daughter of the leader of the sage. In order to save Zhou Jixun, she fell into the brothel in the Jiaofang. Later, after Timur's intervention, Zhou Jixun still married her as her wife.
Xian Sanmei later became a medical staff after receiving training in Hong Kong.
Zhou Yunfeng nodded quickly, "Yes"
Marha suddenly patted him, "I said, Zhou Jixun's face is fair, how did he give birth to a black son? It turns out that he was with his mother, hahaha"
At this time, the telecommunication officer of the brigade department came in and handed him a piece of paper. Marha took it and took a look. This time he slapped his thigh.
"Good guy, Sangjice has also taken Zhenjiang City"
Everyone was overjoyed and congratulated him. It turned out that although Marha and Sanjice were both brigade commanders, they had already said that Yangzhou and Zhenjiang were still led by Marha.
Zhenjiang Port is located on the edge of the Yangtze River. There are only 500 people in Zhenjiang Camp in the city. With Zhang Wenyong's 300 salt dings, he is no match for Sangjice at all.
Although Zhenjiang City also has a moat, it is connected to the Grand Canal. The warships can be driven in and can suppress the firepower at the city without setting up positions on the dock.
"How should I do next?"
Marha looked at Tuo Yuan, who had been Master Swai Ryen, was obviously extraordinary.
"General, for the sake of the present plan, I have a few opinions"
"Tell me quickly"
"Yes. First, although we have posted a notice to expel the Tartars, and the Chinese language and Chinese classics in our country are also known to some Qing people, for most people, our country is still a Mongolian tribe. For them, what is the difference between accepting the rule of the Jurchens and the rule of the Mongols?"
"So, there are obviously many people who are skeptical. This time, unlike the last battle to win Guangzhou, we didn't want to stay in Guangzhou, but this time, we are different. We won't leave when we come here."
"But the development of the situation does not depend on here, but on Tianjin, where the two princes are in charge. This time is uncontrollable, and the fierce counterattack of the Qing people is predictable"
"In addition to the counterattack of the army, the counterattack of loyalty to the Qing forces in the city should not be underestimated"
"Therefore, in order to prevent them from colluding with each other, a curfew should be issued immediately. No matter during the day or at night, they are not allowed to go out at will. If there are necessary matters such as purchasing grain, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, medicinal materials, dumping manure buckets, etc., we can issue a license to them."
"Permission License?"
"Yes, there is such an example in the opening of salt ships in Lianghuai Salt Transportation Yamen. There are also a large number of paper and movable types in the Yamen, which can be printed temporarily"
"Each household can go out to buy at a certain hour of the day and dump all things, so that the whole city can be separated. According to statistics, there are about 5,000 residents in Yangzhou City, about 100,000 people in Dingkou. Most of them are rich in family resources, and most of the poor live outside the city."
"On average, there are about twenty people in each household, and most of them are slaves except for their families"
"Five thousand households have four hours in the daytime, and each hour is divided into three hours, that is, twelve hours. There are only about five hundred people coming out at each moment, which is completely controllable. Of course, most of them are probably concentrated in the morning, but at most they are only about a thousand people, which is also controllable."
"The general can arrange a battalion of cavalry to patrol the streets of the city in squads. If you see someone without a license, you will be arrested immediately and then severely punished..."
"How to punish?"
"Of course, we will first interrogate to see if there is any suspicion, and then we will confiscate the property."
"Then the officials led by Chen Hongmou and the big salt merchants led by Jiang Chun will come out to explain the pros and cons, and win over them. With their entourage, it is possible that about a hundred people can move at will, so that the residents in the city can rest assured"
"In the end, of course, it is my usual strategy, that is, strictly abide by military discipline and never violate it."
"What about the outer city?"
