Chapter 14 Close the door and beat the dog (2)

The person leading the team was none other than Li Jianjie.

After Chen Kai arrived in Wanzhou, he asked Lin Cha to carry Li Jianjie's Huqi Town and 500 infantry to the north. Lin Cha's fleet anchored at the Qizhou Yangshan Islands in the northeast of Hainan Island, and submerged the cavalry in batches.

Island. At the last agreed time, Li Jianjie led the cavalry to detour to Zicheng from Ding'an County, south of Fucheng.

The reason why it is so troublesome is that the south gate is closed, and there is a moon city at the east gate to confine them to the urn city. Only Zicheng, once they enter, they have been living here temporarily since the city of Guangzhou was destroyed.

The formed understanding of Fucheng is bound to lead to Fucheng before the Great West Gate is closed.

Li Jianjie gave an order, and the Ming army, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed on horseback to kill the Qiongzhou town soldiers who had not yet reacted. With more troops and fewer troops, the cavalry continued to charge forward, and the Qing army had no power to fight back. At this time, Li Jianjie also led

He led the other cavalry straight to the west gate.

As expected, since the construction of the sub-city was completed, the defense of the Great West Gate has become increasingly weak. At this moment, the Ming army suddenly launched an attack. The guards of the Great West Gate did not respond in time, but when they saw the Ming army cavalry rushing towards them, they hurriedly fled.

, quickly disappeared into the streets and alleys, leaving only the roaring figures of Ming army cavalry on Beisheng Street, the only way to and from the Daximen.

The iron hoofs stepped on the stone road, causing bursts of sparks to fly. The horseshoes collided with the stone slabs, making crisp knocking sounds, one after another, quickly spreading from Beisheng Street to Zhentaiqian Street, Fuqian Street, Shangshu Street, Jingnan Street and even beyond.

The entire Qiongzhou capital.

There are only 600 people left in the Green Camp in the city. They not only have to guard the Zhentai Yamen and the barracks, but also are assigned to guard at various city gates. They are so scattered that there is only a plate of loose sand. As for the Ming army, they are facing Qiongzhou Fucheng.

Their familiarity is no less than theirs, or even better, and they are also cavalry, attacking everywhere, and they are like destroying everything.

The screams that Peng Sanyi heard were from the officials in his government office. The Ming army immediately targeted Zhentai Yamen, Daotai Yamen, Fu Yamen, County Yamen and barracks, and divided their forces to seize them.

It was a surprise attack.

The 100 patrol soldiers were stationed in the military camp, which was quite a distance away. Once Peng Sanyi heard the scream, he understood everything and just sighed sincerely, moved a chair, and untied the

He grabbed his belt, climbed up on the chair, and threw one end over the beam. If it failed once, he tried again. After several times, the end of the belt finally came around from the other side of the beam. Peng Sanyi made a gesture.

, tied it with a tight buckle around the neck, and after some gestures, he was about to put his head on it.

There were vague shouts of killing outside, and the Ming army had obviously reached the vicinity of the yamen. Peng Sanyi quickly put his head in, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the last official document that had not yet been read, and put his head in.

He came out and wanted to go down and read the official documents before hanging himself, but the shouts of death seemed to be getting closer and closer, so he had to put his head back on again.

After doing this several times, Peng Sanyi simply sighed, closed his eyes, stopped looking at the official document, and kicked the chair. His whole body was suspended by his belt, and his legs were still struggling needlessly.

After a while, the Ming army broke into the Taotai Yamen, captured a small official who had not had time to escape, and took him to find Peng Sanyi, the Taotai. What they saw was a lifeless corpse, uneasy.

It was dangling under the beam, but the tongue sticking out seemed to be extra long.

The Ming army launched a surprise attack, and the defenders were soon overwhelmed by the iron hoofs of the Ming army. Peng Sanyi of Hainan Province, as well as Qiongzhou and Qiongshan magistrates of the Qing Dynasty, successively wore white silk ribbons, committed suicide and other methods to sacrifice their lives to the Qing government in this city.

Rule. Perhaps, soon they will be martyred by the Qing court’s rule over the entire Hainan Island!

With five hundred cavalry, the Ming army quickly defeated the limited strength of the defenders and controlled all the key points. However, they did not even close the city gates. They just let the people come in and out, completely showing their confidence.

appearance.

The announcement was made to calm the people, and the work was carried out quickly. Once the officials and government officials heard that Li Wuye had followed Chen Fujun and killed him, they quickly took the order and took effect without hesitation. Such blatantness, Li Jianjie was

He didn't take the Qing army seriously at all. However, in this world, success or failure has always been the basis of right and wrong. Li Jianjie knew very well that the Qing army in Qiongzhou now only had guards from various counties left, and there was no way to cause actual harm to it.

Threat. This arrogance also turned into confidence!

Quickly controlling the situation in Fucheng, the Ming army did its best to be confident. Five miles north of the city is where Qianhusuo is located in Haikou. The Qianhusuo City is built across the city between Fucheng and the coastline. It is the only way to the north from Qiongzhou Fucheng.

Land barrier.

Compared with Qiongzhou Fucheng, whose main city and sub-city walls alone are 1,633 feet long, Qianhusuo City in Haikou, which has a circumference of only 555 feet, is just as small as Lingshui County.

That's all. But for military defense considerations, the city defense buildings here are not much inferior. There are battlements, there are many huts, and there is a 465-foot moat outside the city that wraps the city wall from northwest to southeast.

The exposed northeastern city wall is facing the sea, with an embankment as a barrier.

To the north of Qianhusuo City in Haikou is Haimen Port and Baishajin. Even though the Qing army mobilized a large number of ships when they went south, there were still many ships docked at the port. The Ming army came from south to north. Speaking of which, they were just

He is the most able to advance and retreat freely, and has the confidence to rely on him. In this regard, neither Liu Bolu, the commander-in-chief, nor Peng Sanyi, the Hainan Road officer, can compare with them.

The news that Fucheng was attacked by the Ming army came as quickly as possible from the small north gate of Zicheng. The Qing troops guarding here were the largest in each county, but they belonged to various ministries, which seemed a bit mixed. The town soldiers are here

It was the least. A Qianzong was in charge of the city's defense, but he only had dozens of soldiers. Others included soldiers from the Ming army, military households from Qianhusuo in Haikou, and local guards. If it wasn't for the Qing court's obstruction

According to the rules and regulations of the organization, Liu Bolu had already integrated all the soldiers and horses except military households into Qiongzhou Town.

Mr. Qian was sweating profusely at the south gate. The north gate of Fucheng was not open, but there was no convenient way for the Ming army to take advantage of the situation to raid Qianhusuo City in Haikou. But Fucheng was lost, and Liu Bolu was nowhere to be found. He was

The general had to defend the city while protecting the troops, and he also had to take into account the safety of the commander. He was in a dilemma, but he was stuck here due to these difficulties and choices, unable to move.

"What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do..."

All these words were beating back and forth in his mind, almost reaching the effect of scrolling. Mr. Qian was very embarrassed, but what was even more difficult was that as time went by, the room left for him to choose would also

It's getting smaller and smaller. This is not just because the Ming army's control over the city is constantly strengthening. It's not even that the main force of the Ming army will definitely launch an offensive after arriving. It's just that the officers belonging to various ministries in the city are enough to make him scratch his head.

.

"Mr. Qian, let's go. We'll leave the green hills behind and don't have to worry about having no firewood."

"Yes, it is better to cross the strait first. When we reach Leizhou Mansion on the other side, we will have a large army to rely on. When the time comes, whether it is to fight back or to save the soldiers and ships, Mr. Qian will do a great job for you."

"That's right. It's still too late to evacuate now. If the bandits' navy blocks the way, it will be impossible to save some soldiers and horses for the imperial court."

His subordinates, guards officers and local guards all expressed their opinions, hoping that he could lead the troops to move in as soon as possible. The three parties were willing to work together, but it seemed that the attitude of the Ming army's surrender was still a bit ambiguous, and they remained silent.

.However, Mr. Qian knew that, apart from his own subordinates, it was the soldiers who had surrendered from the Ming Army who were the most trustworthy.

"I have thought about the withdrawal of troops, and I really want to preserve some strength for the imperial court as much as possible. But there are only dozens of officers and soldiers under my command, and just leading the team to withdraw to Leizhou Prefecture is just a drop in the bucket, and it is not as good as you."

How about evacuating to Leizhou Mansion with a certain person?"

President Qian's eyes were bright, and as expected, except for the officer who was demoted from the Ming army and had the rank of general, but actually only had a hundred soldiers, the other two groups of people were all astonished.

Next, it is just a time to complain. Why are they born and raised here, and they are afraid that the soldiers and their families are greedy for their hometown and will not evacuate; why their ancestors have lived here for generations, and their ancestral graves are outside the city. After leaving, I am afraid that there will be

They were retaliated by the Ming army; why did they stay here and wait until the Qing army came back to provide soldiers and food for the Qing army as internal support? In short, in one sentence, these locals did not want to leave at all!

Instead of leaving, they urged him to leave quickly. Their intention was nothing more than to coax him away so that they could quickly hand over the Qianhusuo City to the Ming Army, lest the Ming Army attack the city in large numbers and hurt them again.

Those neighbors, relatives and friends.

When the Qing army captured Qiongzhou for the first time, it was without a single blow. Li Chengdong followed the Qing army in Qiongzhou anyway. When Du Yonghe surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army took over the place without any effort. The locals, whether they were Qiongzhou

Households in the government, as well as the soldiers of the Hainan Guard, all adhered to the principle that regardless of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they would follow whoever came. Anyway, they were responsible for providing food and paying taxes.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the guard station occupied nearly half of the country's cultivated land, and the number of soldiers in the guard station exceeded one million. Due to the existence of Yu Ding, the number of military households was even more unimaginable. In the Ming Dynasty, the status of military households was underground, and a large proportion of deserters

, but those who can stay either have food to eat or cannot escape. When guards officers evolve into landlords, they do not get the social status of landlords and squires. When military households evolve into the interests of the country and military officers.

As double serfs, their loyalty to the country became very minimal, so that when the Qing army broke through the border and entered, the resistance of the guardsmen was far less than that of the town soldiers, let alone the Zheng Group and the Daxi Army.

These former pirates of the Dashun Army were compared with the rogue bandits.

Mr. Qian knew that the situation was bad, so he just made fun of it. Once those people's complaints were over, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction to the eunuchs and wanted to withdraw the troops to Leizhou Mansion.

Everyone understood, and naturally they wanted to support one or two people. Therefore, Mr. Qian did not shirk, and immediately said that as soon as the money arrived, he would take his troops and the Ming army's surrendered soldiers to take a boat back to Leizhou Mansion, and asked everyone to conserve their strength for the sake of

The Qing army made relevant preparations for logistics and internal response when they retook Qiongzhou Prefecture.

"Mr. Qian is considerate and considerate, and those of low rank will obey the orders of Mr. Qian!"

Time waits for no one. Mr. Qian had already sent people back to the military camp to make preparations. He would set off as soon as the money here was in place. Both sides were anxious, because once the Ming army attacked the city, he would not move in just to preserve his strength.

, they abandoned the city and fled; and for those locals, there was a huge difference between the city being captured by the Ming army and their initiative.

Both parties had their own thoughts, and the money was sent to the dock. The amount was not large, it was just a courtesy. Mr. Qian was not picky and ordered the soldiers to board the ship, while he said goodbye and made a full show.

However, the soldiers here have not yet finished boarding the ship. Mr. Qian saw that the leader of the Ming army's surrender had his eyes widened and his mouth was big, but he couldn't make any sound. He just pointed at the northeast of Baishajin.

In the direction of the east entrance of Qiongzhou Strait, shock and fear were mixed.

This situation made Mr. Qian feel bad. He turned around and was shocked - it was a fleet of hundreds of Ming warships. The sea wind filled the sails and the ships were coming at a high speed.

It was already too late at this time, but Mr. Qian still boarded the ship without hesitation, and quickly pulled up the anchor and set sail. As expected, the ship was intercepted by the Ming fleet before it was halfway out, and the leading warship rammed it without hesitation.

It passed by and directly smashed the small sea-going ship into pieces.

Such a scene happened in the eyes of the local guardsmen and guards of Qianhu Station in Haikou. The leading palm print Qianhu swallowed his saliva, turned around immediately, and shouted to everyone: "Hurry up!

I have changed the banner of Ming Dynasty and am waiting to be reincarnated!"

………………

Outside Wanzhou City, Chen Kai still did not attack the city, which boosted the morale of the Qing army in the city. However, the Zhizhou and the civil officials wanted to come so much, but the defending officers were not those who knew nothing about military affairs. At this moment, Chen Kai

Kai is like this, presumably because the main force of the Ming army has other actions, and he has an indifferent attitude towards them. He is just monitoring them here.

Sure enough, a few days later, a group of cavalry rushed back from Fucheng. Chen Kai took the package, took out a letter that had been written for several days and had been left aside to gather dust, and sent a local prisoner from Wanzhou with the package.

He was sent into the city. In less than an hour, the gate of Wanzhou City was opened. The Zhizhou, the defender, the officials and the Qing troops guarding the city came out of the city one after another, asking for surrender. Especially the Zhizhou and the defender were even more shocked.

They were tied up tightly, and if someone didn't support them when they knelt down, they could take a mouthful of fragrant mud.

"Sinners who resist the king will be punished by death."

They were just putting on a show, but since Chen Kai had promised them a way to survive, he didn't intend to continue to embarrass them. He simply let someone loosen their bonds and went to Wanzhou City on his own.

After enjoying the treatment of being able to fight without bloodshed, Chen Kai didn't find it interesting. However, the show still had to be done, so he sent people to invite those people to the state government office. Chen Kai encouraged everyone and mentioned

found the way to survive that he promised in his letter.

"You take this back to Leizhou Mansion and say that Peng Sanyi gave the secret order. Once you get the news of Liu Bolu's defeat, you will immediately abandon the city and assemble towards Fucheng. As for why you appeared in Leizhou Mansion, it is because you were waiting for you to arrive in a hurry.

By that time, the Ming fleet has already captured Fucheng, so you can only find your own boats and sneak across the strait."

"What Mr. Fujun said is absolutely true, but if the court, no, the Tatars don't believe it..."

Zhizhou asked the question tremblingly, and secretly looked at Chen Kai's expression with his small eyes, only to see Chen Kai smile coldly: "Have you ever heard of the story of three people becoming tigers? Very quickly,
Chapter completed!
