The Ming army rushed into Guangzhou from the northwest of the city. The few soldiers and horses who were ordered to control the city went straight to the iconic buildings in the city under the leadership of their guides. The suppression campaign started from there, but the contagion of the Qing army's defeat spread along the way.

Along the city wall, it quickly spread from the north and west directions toward the southeast corner of the city.

The Great North Gate and the Zhengxi Gate were the first to receive the news. The Qing troops defending the city were disbanded upon hearing the news, and the Ming Army took advantage of the situation. Immediately afterwards, the Small North Gate and the Great East Gate were also opened one after another. Only those gates in the new city area were opened.

But each one was locked up tightly.

As soon as something went wrong on the small north gate and the big east gate, Chen Kai's restrained Ming army from western Guangdong, led by left admiral Ke Chenshu, rushed in with great force.

They also have the task of controlling iconic buildings, and at the same time, the task of clearing them cannot be relaxed. Even compared to the Ming army to the west and north, they are already latecomers, but they are clearing in separate areas and have guides to lead the way.

I'm not afraid of anyone who dares to blatantly fish out of bounds, especially those who dare to do this to powerful soldiers like them.

The Ming army that entered from the small north gate in the northeast of the city was divided into two. Li Dingguo's camp commander Jin Tongwu went to seize the Zhenhai Tower, the commanding heights in the north of the city. It is said that there are still vassal soldiers resisting there, and intelligence shows that it is Pingnan Prince Shangzhi.

Xin's troops needed to crush this Qing army as quickly as possible. On the other hand, the troops of Zhou Quanbin, the chief military officer of Qianchong Town, supplemented by Qianzhen guards, had already begun to clear out the northeastern area of ​​the city.

Just like in the west of the city, the main force of the vassal soldiers was gone, and the rest were empty. However, when the city was captured by the Ming army, they quickly became discouraged. They were just hiding here and there, and they did not pose much of a threat to the Ming army.

Since the Ming army broke through the city from the northwest, the number of family members of the vassal soldiers who fled to the southeast continued to increase. In the northeast, it was still the same, with more and less, but there was no improvement in the suppression work.

Despite the obstacles, I actually gained more. I don’t know if it’s an unexpected blessing or not.

There are always people who are happy and others who are worried in this world, just like the conservation of elements. The Ming army is trying its best to clear up, throwing valuables into the basket, killing every enemy who has the characteristics of being armed, resisting, and wearing vassal uniforms

, tied up all the others and sent them to prison.

Northeast of the city, east of the Small North Gate and north of the Great East Gate, the second branch of the Six-Mail Canal is connected with Donghaoyong outside the city. This branch divides into two branches in the northeast of the city, with the north branch heading west.

The South Branch naturally headed south. The two branches were not far apart. A group of Ming troops guarding Qianzhen had just completed the clearing mission along the Liumai Canal and were escorting the prisoners towards the original Panyu Academy.

Go there, it will become a temporary point for holding prisoners.

"These feudal soldiers' families are really rich. How much do they have to do to scrape the land?"

"Haven't you heard that the property of the 700,000 people in Guangzhou, except for those who escaped and could take some away, the rest fell into the hands of these beasts. This has ruined the territory of Guangdong for another four years.

, can it be any less?"

After all, they still haven't completely calmed down. The Ming army was on guard while advancing there. However, the overall situation here has been decided, and the mood of the soldiers is not really that nervous. They can't talk and laugh, but there are always whispers.

The team officers didn't care much either.

While marching, there seemed to be some noises at the Liumai Canal. The Ming army immediately became vigilant. When they sent people out, they soon noticed that there were actually a large number of family members of the feudal soldiers hiding there, hiding together in fear.

"With so many people, I'm afraid there won't be enough rope."

"Not only are there not enough ropes, but there are also not enough manpower."

The officer frowned and gave a few instructions, and the men responsible for the escort immediately rushed to Panyu Academy with the other prisoners. Before they came back, another team guarding Qianzhen also passed nearby, a patrol.

Although the two officers were not from the same battalion, they were fellow villagers. The former quickly sent someone to find him and share this wealth and credit together.

At this moment, the officer's subordinates were already running back. The newly arrived officer looked at the family members of the feudal soldiers hiding in the canal, but couldn't help but swallowed, seeming to feel a little pressured by the number: "Isn't this too much?

"

Filling the Liumai Canal with corpses was already in the final stage of Chen Kai's organization's retreat. Those who escaped had already left the city, and the slowest ones were waiting to leave the city. No one knew about the tragedy. At this moment, Qu

It was densely packed inside, just like it was back then. It had not rained yet, but the Ming army had already discovered them. Swords and guns were pointing in their direction, making them tremble.

The new officer just finished his words. Before the officers who arrived earlier could respond or agree, he lowered his eyelids and thought of a way: "I just passed by the north of the city and saw a group of officers and soldiers killing everyone hiding in the canal.

Yes, the flag seems to be that of Wang Xing's men. How about..."

"Brother, this must not be done!" After hearing this, the officer who came first refused and then explained: "The embroidery needle is an embroidery needle. We were brought out by Duke Dingguo. Over the years, we have followed the surname of the country.

Mr. Fujun and Mr. Fujun have always been very strict in military law. This time, Mr. Fujun said, "You are not allowed to kill indiscriminately. What's the point of taking back the prisoners? Let me ask these fourteen towns that we came from Chaozhou together."

, who dares to test the law by himself?"

This is indeed a problem. Li Dingguo's army is strictly disciplined, and so is Zheng Chenggong's. Although their troops are not as good as those of Yue Jiajun and Qi Jiajun, they always have some habits of bandits and pirates, but in this era they are already relatively well-behaved.

Now, the overall situation has been decided, but not to mention the gathering in various towns, there are also a large number of Ming troops from other systems. With so many pairs of eyes watching, it is even more important to make it watertight.

After rejecting the proposal of the latecomer, the officer did not continue to explain. Instead, he pondered for a moment, and then shouted to the families of the feudal soldiers in the canal: "Come up one by one. Those who fail to come up will be punished as stubbornly resisting and will not be killed!"

"

The policy can still be controlled flexibly. The archers and musketeers here are in place. Under the shouts and threats, they are hiding here because they are afraid of death. Now they have a chance to survive, and they are not afraid of death.

Sooner or later, those who lost their will naturally began to slowly come out and ask for surrender from the Ming army.

The officer's subordinates came back and brought more ropes. The two Ming armies didn't care about the place nearby. They used bows, arrows and blunderbuss to force the families of the feudal soldiers to climb up, and then ordered them to throw away their belongings.

They put them into the prepared baskets, selected some of them and tied them up individually, while others were tied up in series and escorted in the direction of Panyu Academy.

Continuously, the families of the vassal soldiers became prisoners of the Ming army in front of the flickering cold light, heading towards an unknown fate. Gradually, the number of the vassal soldiers' family members in this area continued to shrink, until after a long time, there were only about a hundred.

The person who came here refused to come up even if he said nothing.

Seeing this, the officer who arrived first waved his hand, his arrow flew off his string, and his musket exploded. The family members of the feudal soldiers who were still hugging each other for warmth in fear were killed by the Ming army amidst the screams one after another.

The pile of corpses almost blocked the water in the canal, and the trickles that came out through the gaps were also dyed red and flowed down slowly.

Under the shooting of the Ming army, most of the bodies that were still trembling just now were no longer alive, and others were seriously injured and fell to the ground groaning. Next, a dozen Ming soldiers went into the ditch and began to give life to those who had been there for a while.

The undead were killed and all their belongings were plundered.

At this time, most of the family members of the vassal soldiers along the roadside of the canal had been escorted away, leaving only those who were specially selected and kept in separate custody.

At this time, the two officers looked at each other, and the latter sneered, and immediately made a verdict: "The boss of the Fu Army has an order, and those who wear military uniforms of the vassal army will be killed without mercy!"

………………

The Ming army poured in from the northwest, west, north and east of the city, shouting to kill, yelling and cursing, screaming, crying, and the screams quickly spread from the city gates to the center of the city.

The vassal soldiers and their families who stayed in place often either died or were captured by the Ming army. The city was already surrounded by the Ming army. It was only a matter of time before the army broke through the city defenses. However, this still did not prevent a large number of

The vassal soldiers and their families fled towards the south of the city - after passing the city wall, there was the new city. The Qing government in Guangzhou and the civilian households in the city were all expelled here. There were always people hoping to mix in among the civilian households.

, just muddle through.

The crowds are pouring towards the four city gates in the south of the city. On the wall of the south gate, there is the place where the hereditary commander of Guangzhou Zuowei, Yu Fengqi, died for his country. The deputy general of Guangdong Fubiao is here anxiously looking at those who are desperately beating the city gates.

The family members of the vassal soldiers had big beads of sweat on their foreheads, dripping down along the contours of their faces.

In the morning breeze of the twelfth lunar month, hot sweat broke out, and the heat was rising from the top of my head. Those who didn't know better might have thought that the deputy general was trying to open up the two channels of Ren and Du, preparing to jump off the tower once he had mastered his peerless martial arts.

In the face of the families of these vassal soldiers, he single-handedly drove all the Ming troops out of the city, made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and became a model slave in the 17th century. However, as a Qing army officer came running in, he was also sweating profusely.

, the atmosphere of loyalty to the emperor and service to the country has certainly disappeared.

"how's it going?"

"When I get back to Marshal, I have contacted Marshal Chen..."

"Are you short-sighted? Why are you contacting Chen Qice? How many times have I told you, Chen Qice, Li Changrong, these people are small people, the real ones who have the final say are the bosses, ah, it's His Royal Highness the King of Xining and Chen Fujun,

Everyone else is here for nothing. I asked you to contact Lord Zhou and Governor Jiang, why are you going to find Chen Qice!"

Being besieged by the Ming Army Group is a situation that is said in the art of war that if there are no troops to save outside, there will be no city to defend inside. That is to say, those who are sure to die like Geng Jimao, Shang Zhixin, and Xu Erxian are still struggling to hold on. They are the green camp.

If the soldiers had not been watched by the vassal soldiers, they would have surrendered long ago, how could they have ended up in this situation.

The lieutenant-general was scolding the general, and he was so angry that he almost kicked him several times. But the officer finally saw that the lieutenant-general was scolding a lot, and he had to take a breath before continuing to scold, so he took advantage of this opportunity.

Say the next thing.

"Commander, don't be anxious. Marshal Chen and Chen Fujun are old acquaintances. Through Marshal Chen's relationship, I met Lord Zhou and Governor Jiang. Both of them said that Marshal was not the murderer who massacred Guangzhou. As long as he was willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.

, there is always a future.”

As he said this, the deputy general was overjoyed. At this time, everyone could see that Guangzhou had said goodbye to the Manchus. Even if he died here, he might not be able to gain a good reputation, let alone that he had never

I thought about dying for the Qing court. Even more seriously, the people in Guangdong will soon change their surname back to Mingming. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. The most important thing now is to save my life.

With the guarantees of Zhou Hezhi and Jiang Mei'ao, the deputy general thought that he had saved his life, so he simply ordered his subordinates not to open the door, and he rushed directly to the dock to see Zhou Hezhi and Jiang Mei'ao, and to explain the matter of Gui Ming's return to the Ming Dynasty.

Let’s finalize it later.

Thinking of this, he immediately did it, went down to the city, and galloped on the street with his horse. But halfway through, he heard the shout of "the city gate is open" and "the city gate is open" coming from a distance.

At first there was only a faint sound, not very clear, but then I heard it clearly. The deputy general immediately pulled the reins, and the war horse almost stood upright. By the time he controlled the horse, the sound was clear.

It's deafening.

Listening to the direction, it was not from the north where he came from, but it seemed to be coming from the west. The deputy general identified the direction clearly, and when he suddenly realized it, he secretly cursed the Dongguan commander for not daring to contact Chen Kai and hiding it from him.

I went to show my sincerity to Li Dingguo, but now I opened the city gate before him. It's really disgusting.

"Hurry to the dock and welcome Chen Fujun's troops into the city!"

After a while, the new city began to change flags rapidly, and the red flag of the Ming Dynasty reappeared on the city wall of Guangzhou, as if the martyrs who defended this place had returned.

Some families were happy and some were sad. When the new city was controlled by the Ming army, for those feudal soldiers and their families, there was no way to go from heaven to earth. What waited for them was the closed city gate in front of them and the door behind them.

Those bloody butcher knives, nothing else.

Almost at the same time as the siege under the city began, thick smoke billowed out from the place called Jingnan Prince's Mansion in the center of the city. The news that Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, set himself on fire and set himself on fire quickly spread to the camp in the west of the city. Chen Kai looked at it.

Li Dingguo, it seems that this guy has a buff. The last King Sanshun who was killed burned himself to death, and now there is another one. Whether this is accidental or inevitable, it is hard to tell clearly, because the final death of King Sanshun

Number 1 is in his hands now, and he has no intention of leaving Shang Kexi the chance to decide his own fate.
To be continued...
