An officer was knocked to the ground again. He covered his neck and groaned repeatedly. The nails on his neck were broken open, and the bullets were shot in. Blood spurted out continuously, filling the air with the smell of blood.
Every time the muskets roared, there was a mass of casualties and screams and wailings all around. Eshen's eyes were red. They were all brave warriors of the Eight Banners. They didn't even have a chance to show off, so they were beaten to death and wounded.
The war horse roared, raised its front hooves, and suddenly broke away from Eshen. It rushed forward and back like crazy, kicked and bit. After a while, it ran away without knowing where it was with a bleeding wound, hiding behind it. Later Eshen was exposed.
Another row of muskets was fired, and Eshen was knocked down by a soldier, but his right leg suffered a sharp pain. He fell to the ground and could not stand up. A lead bullet broke his calf bone, leaving him a bloody mass. .
It's over! Eshen's heart was desolate. The long army stretched out on the official road was long but not thick. It suffered heavy casualties from this fierce ambush. It was difficult to gather for a charge. Moreover, the Ming army was condescending and fired with cavalry. How can the so-called Eight Banners exert its combat power?
The soldiers carried Eshen on their backs and fled to the other side of the official road to avoid the shooting range of the Ming army. At this time, officers had already organized soldiers to attack the Ming army on the slope.
There were fewer bullets fired at the official road. The Ming army was adjusting, and the target was already the Qing soldiers charging upward.
A sharp sound resounded through the sky. This whistle sound was called the sound of a swan in the Ming Dynasty!
A deafening volley of firecrackers sounded. The firecracker soldier kneeling at the front and a row of firecracker soldiers standing behind him fired at the same time. A row of scorching firelight flashed past, and thick smoke rose simultaneously.
With the loud noise of the cannons, this intensive volley caused the Qing soldiers rushing in front to fall down.
Based on the terrain, the Ming army formed a formation similar to a skirmish line, with four rows of gunmen firing in turns, or two rows firing volleys depending on the situation, to maintain the density and persistence of firepower.
Clouds of blood mist appeared on the bodies of the Qing soldiers, and they screamed and fell to the ground. The projectiles had little penetrating power, so they were more destructive. When lead bullets were driven into their bodies, most of their internal organs would be damaged.
Even those Qing soldiers in front who were wearing heavy armor and holding shields were knocked to the ground in large numbers. Even if the lead bullets did not penetrate their heavy armor and thick shields, the powerful impact of the projectiles would kill them all as long as they hit them. Their bodies have to bear the force. Where they are hit, even if the projectile does not penetrate the armor, their bones and internal organs will still be injured.
A Qing army officer was holding his right chest, where blood was constantly pouring out. He was still holding a large shield in his left hand and stumbled forward. Another volley of gunshots rang out, and he was hit by several lead bullets and fell backwards. It flew out and rolled down the slope.
Arrows flew through the air, and screams rang out from the ranks of the Ming army. The dead and wounded were immediately dragged behind, and more soldiers took their places.
The range of the attack was almost complete. The entire front of the Ming army began to shrink laterally, and the soldiers began to position themselves more compactly, causing the attacking Qing soldiers to face more violent and intensive musket fire.
Martial arts and skills are useless. No matter how fast they move, they can't move faster than the lead bullets coming out of the barrel. No matter how afraid of death, it is difficult to rush in front of the Ming army. The Qing soldiers who rushed up from the official road did not have the support of a heavy battle formation. It was impossible to form a steady stream of attacks. It was like a wave hitting a rock, being repelled by the Ming army's continuous musket fire, leaving miserable corpses scattered among the weeds and bushes on the slopes.
"Charge, kill!" the surrendered soldiers and generals shouted. They emboldened themselves and encouraged themselves. Under the supervision and command of the Ming army officers, they rushed forward, and the densely packed swords and guns slashed and stabbed.
The Qing soldiers who circled the official road were killed.
These Qing soldiers who were stepping on weeds and bushes to bypass the official road had been beaten to pieces by the Ming army's muskets, and suffered heavy casualties. The group behind them was attacked again, and there were no follow-up troops to follow up, but the surrendered soldiers were
They got a bargain.
How could the Eight Banners be so vulnerable? The image of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, which was once invincible in the eyes of these surrendering soldiers, is collapsing. They are getting bolder and their shouts and drums are getting louder.
The Ming army on the slope moved forward, and the long line pressed against the Qing soldiers like an iron wall. The official road was filled with human and horse corpses, and the Qing soldiers who ran to the other side of the official road all had expressions on their faces.
Panicked, my heart was filled with fear and sadness.
Cries of killing came from afar, and occasionally there was the roar of firecrackers. Li Chengjue's troops came from behind with a large number of volunteers and surrendered troops.
It was originally a feint attack, but the offensive went so smoothly that it was shocking. The Qing army camp was already in chaos. As soon as the Ming army and volunteers arrived, a large number of surrendered troops knelt down and surrendered their weapons, and some of them attacked the Ming army with success.
After receiving the report, Li Chengjue realized that the Qing army had completely collapsed. He immediately sent out his entire army and pursued them along the official road.
It's over! Eshenbatulu knew that he would not escape, so he calmed down at this time. This was not a fault of war, but a change in people's hearts! From withdrawing from Lishui, to being blocked, and now, nearly 30,000 people
How many people ran away on the road, how many surrendered and rebelled, and how many actually died in battle?
It's a pity that the Eight Banners warriors didn't even have a chance to gallop on their horses and show off their martial arts skills. Eshen smiled bitterly, stood up with a spear, looked around, and said loudly: "Did any of the warriors of the Qing Dynasty surrender on their knees?
, cowardly people who are greedy for life? Now that we are here, we can only fight to the end and sacrifice our lives for the country--" His voice suddenly became louder, he pointed the knife in his right hand, and roared: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, charge!"
"Come on!"
There were only more than a thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners left, and they burst out in their final madness. They raised their weapons and roared towards the Ming army on the slope!
"Fire!" After the swan tone was the officer's hoarse shout.
There was a deafening explosion, a volley of fire cannons, and a storm of lead bullets sprayed out, causing a large cloud of blood mist to explode in the ranks of the Qing soldiers.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
The command is a roar, the sound is so loud that it even drowns out the sound of the fire cannon.
Rows of firecrackers kept spewing out thick white smoke, bursts of bombardment, the Qing soldiers went crazy, the Ming army went crazy, the cold wind, the pungent smoke, and the nauseating smell of blood continued to fill the air.

The defeat was like a mountain. The more than 100,000 Qing troops in Zhejiang were either blocked, intercepted, or pursued during their retreat. They were in such a panic that it is not an exaggeration to say that they collapsed.
The commander-in-chief Zheng Bin fled to Shaoxing. All his soldiers and horses dispersed, leaving only two soldiers, who were surrounded and attacked by more than a hundred villagers. Deputy generals Cai Yuan, He Chengjie and others surrendered with their troops and horses; "General Pingnan" was the commander-in-chief.
Beizilaita was injured on the way and died on the way; the commander-in-chief, Eshenbatulu, and the deputy commander-in-chief, Buyantu, were killed in the battle, and countless other Manchurian officials below Zhang Jing were killed and injured...
In the end, less than 5,000 defeated soldiers fled into Hangzhou, and there were almost no green flags from the Han soldiers. The Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners relied on horses to ride, and they were able to escape from the interception. Before they could take a breath, the Ming troops from all directions were already there.
Surrounded layer by layer, four armies, 1,340,000 men and horses, plus local brave volunteers, a total of 200,000 people, completely surrounded Hangzhou.
After a short rest and reorganization, the Ming army set up artillery to attack the city. Hundreds of cannons bombarded the city indiscriminately. The Qing army defending the city was frightened for no reason. Although they fought tooth and nail, they could not stop the Ming army's fierce offensive.
Within one day, the Ming army had destroyed more than ten feet of the city wall. Under the cover of various artillery fire, large groups of Ming troops entered the city and the city of Hangzhou was destroyed.
The final battle started in Manchu City. The Qing army refused to surrender and fought to the end. The strong men and women of the Manchu people "came to the city to guard", and the old and weak also cheered for support. The battle was bloody and cruel. The Ming army bombarded them with all kinds of artillery and launched rockets.
The infantry took turns charging with guns and bayonets. In the end, the city was conquered at the cost of thousands of casualties. The entire city was in ruins, and most of them were razed to civilians. There were corpses in the city, and there were almost no survivors among the people.
The end of the Battle of Manchuria in Hangzhou meant that all the established Qing armies south of the Yangtze River had been annihilated. The remaining states and counties did not need to be attacked, but either surrendered voluntarily, or could be decided by sending a message.
"Half of the country!" Zhu Yongxing sighed in his heart. This was won with countless blood and human lives. The price was high, but it was worth it. The tyrannical rule was destroyed, barbarism and ignorance were swept away, and the people were given a clear sky and a peaceful place.
Life. But my own road is still far away, but it is not something that the following people can understand.
"The evil atmosphere has been cleared away, Jiangnan has been settled. Congratulations to Your Highness for your unparalleled achievements."
"His Royal Highness is wise and powerful, and has made the greatest contribution to the Ming Dynasty and Zhongxing."
"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty, congratulations to the Holy One, and congratulations to His Highness."
……………
Since worshiping the Xiaoling Mausoleum was to serve as a political declaration, Zhu Yongxing naturally invited many celebrities and gentry to come to watch the ceremony. There were still some days left, and many people had already come, so Zhu Yongxing had no choice but to summon him to express his condolences to show his courtesy to the virtuous corporal.
The name of kindness.
In fact, Zhu Yongxing didn't like these people. He shaved his head in compliance with the Qing rule and regarded himself as a "remnant" of the Ming Dynasty. He could not give orders in danger, but he could still denounce the "treacherous ministers" in a righteous manner to show that he was the right one.
gentleman.
For example, Qian Qianyi was present here. He was invited excitedly, but he was looked down upon by others. This reminded Zhu Yongxing of Ma Shiying, who was denounced as a "big traitor" by the Donglin Party and folk operas, and the Donglin Party members who confused right and wrong.
ability.
It goes without saying whether Ma Shiying was a treacherous person in the Hongguang Dynasty, but even if he became a street rat in the Tang and Lu regimes, he did not surrender to the Manchus because of this, but tried his best to resist the Qing Dynasty with practical actions
Change his bad image in the past. Historical documents prove that Ma Shiying participated in the battles of crossing the Qiantang River to attack Yuhang, Fuyang and Hangzhou many times. After the defeat in eastern Zhejiang, Ma Shiying fled to Siming Mountain, became a monk, and was finally captured.
Just speaking of his integrity, it is truly commendable.
There is obviously no doubt about Ma Shiying's death. The Donglin Party members also admitted that it was "a matter of national history", but they added a "unofficial history", deliberately stating that after Ma Shiying was captured, Dacheng and Guoan father and son surrendered, implying that Ma Shiying also surrendered at the same time.
, then the Qing court discovered that Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, and Guoan and his son had documents of collaborating with the enemy, so they killed Ma Shiying and others who had surrendered.
Just like when the Hongguang Dynasty fell, ministers including Gao Zhuo, Zhang Jie, Yang Weihuan, etc. were martyred. Among them, Zhang Jie and Yang Weihuan were fabricated lies by those Donglin Party members who were happy to be obedient people because they were so-called anti-Party elements among the Donglin Party members.
There were false accusations. Especially Yang Weihuan, the whole family died together. However, like Ma Shiying, after his entire family died and the country was martyred, rumors were spread that he had killed his concubine and absconded, and was beaten to death by rebel soldiers.
No matter how bad Ma Shiying was, he was better than those Donglin Party men who were still alive to scold him. They ran away, ran away, and went against the Qing court. He was really desperate and became a monk, but he would not surrender.
Although the Donglin Party no longer exists in name, its poison is so deep that there are so many "Dongli Party members" who don't show their name!
Thinking that you are standing on a high moral ground, you only have a mouth to curse people and rumors, but have no practical talent at all. With a narrow party view, you only oppose for the sake of opposition, and you only quarrel. You don't consider the country at all.
The interests of the nation; this is Zhu Yongxing's evaluation of Donglin and the Socialist Party members. But most of these people are highly respected people, so they have to be dealt with carefully.
"Although the south of the Yangtze River has been liberated, the Tartars are still in the north. The great cause of ZTE has not been fully completed. You sages still need to contribute a lot to the country and the court!" Zhu Yongxing said with a smile on his face: "Speak of the lonely hero Ming Shenwu.
, that is an exaggeration. The success we have achieved today is due to the sincere unity of the military, civilians, officials and gentry. Everyone is united as one. The so-called party opinions and the so-called disputes of will are actually harmful to the country and the people, and are not advisable!" After speaking, he turned to
Wang Fuzhi, who was specially invited from southern Hunan, said: "Mr. Jiang Zhai, what do you think?"
"Your Highness's words are to the point." Wang Fuzhi said with cupped hands: "Since the Jiajing period, this dynasty has been subject to constant party disputes. The strength of the country is all consumed by this. Loyal and upright ministers can defend the enemy. They are often trapped in the same party and against different parties, or
Killing, imprisoning or expelling. When the Tartars occupied half of the country, the Hongguang Dynasty still followed the bad policies. In the end, they were unable to save the day. They just cried out for help! If it hadn't been for Your Highness..."
For the sake of his career and ideals, Wang Euzhi was not tempted by profit and remuneration. He was not pressured by power and remained determined even after going through untold hardships. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he fought against the Qing soldiers in his hometown of Hengyang. After the failure, he vowed not to shave his head.
Not tolerated by the Qing Dynasty authorities, he went from place to place, hiding in various places, and finally lived in seclusion in Shichuanshan Mountain, where he engaged in ideological writings. In his later years, his health was poor and his life was poor. When writing, he had to rely on friends to donate paper and pen. He wrote every day, and even his wrists were broken.
The inkstone means that there are many pens to point to.
Zhu Yongxing admired and respected Wang Fuzhi. He specially arranged an apartment for him in Nanjing and arranged servants so that he could have enough food and clothing and concentrate on writing books.
The reason is very simple. He greatly admired and agreed with Wang Fuzhi's teachings. First, Wang Fuzhi advocated the idea of applying practical knowledge to the world and firmly opposed Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. He said: "The Six Classics asked me to open up a new life, and I was asked to be buried alive with seven feet from the sky."
Second, Wang Euzhi advocated "to judge each other with law and to control each other with righteousness...Since the beginning of the emperor, the world has been judged by him. The gentleman is upright and the villain is safe. With the rise of kings, nothing can change this." In Zhu Yongxing's view, it is already true.
The idea of "virtual monarch establishing a constitution" in the spirit of the Enlightenment; third, Wang Fuzhi once said: "It can be Zen, it can be continued, it can be reformed, but it cannot be used to destroy barbarians." Although it was to express his disapproval of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty who took over the Central Plains.
However, it can be used by Zhu Yongxing.
Since the late Ming Dynasty, criticism of Neo-Confucianism has appeared in the ideological and academic circles, but Zhu Yongxing felt that it was not enough. He wanted to gather a group of literati and set off a revolution of practical learning, thereby eliminating the theoretical basis of empty talk that harmed the country.
Fang Yizhi from Wuzhou, Wang Fuzhi from Chuanshan, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, etc., and even Qian Qianyi, although they have character or academic flaws, they are still targets for Zhu Yongxing to win over and they are still useful talents.
After Wang Fuzhi finished speaking, Zhu Yongxing smiled and said a few words of humility, then turned to Qian Qianyi and said: "Everyone says that Yushan (Qian Qianyi) is still alive, and the history of the country is not dead. This shows that he respects Mr.'s historiography ability. It is inherent in people.
If you have time, you can change it severely, but there is no greater good. Sir, if you fight against the Qing Dynasty, you will be forgiven, but you don't need to take it to heart if you make a few small remarks."
"Your Highness said this, old age, old age means death immediately, there is no regrets!" Qian Qianyi burst into tears, and Zhu Yongxing rectified his name in public. Even if others rolled their eyes, it was enough to make him smile.
Qian Qianyi's "Afu eunuch" and "surrendering to the Qing Dynasty", in terms of personal moral integrity, are indeed stained with "deficiencies in major integrity", and they are condemned and criticized, which is indeed indefensible. But it is far from true.
To the point of being "not worth mentioning to mankind", not to mention that not long after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he sincerely joined the ranks of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and has gained the understanding of the kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty and many Ming survivors.
But what Zhu Yongxing wants to say is not this, but brings up the topic, "Huanglizhou still regards Mr. Qian as a confidant, and affirms Mr. Qian's academic status in the Four Seas Clan Alliance for decades; Gu Tinglin does not want to be listed among his disciples, but he also
I am sure that Mr. Wang is the 'Master of Articles'. This is very good. When you see the merits, you don't selectively ignore them for some reason, or make nonsense of others. You just have to have this objective attitude towards people and things. No matter.
Who is he and whether he has a problem with you, as long as what he says makes sense, then agree and support it; on the contrary, even if it is a relative or friend, if what he says is wrong, don't agree with him against his will."
The most hateful thing about the Donglin Party is that people waste their words and the party ruins the government. Regardless of whether the policies they formulate are good or bad, as long as the people who enact the policies agree to support them if they are one of their own, and they will slander them if they are outsiders.
Obstacles must be destroyed.
Everyone speculated on the profound meaning of Zhu Yongxing's words and secretly remembered them in their hearts. Even if these celebrities and gentry did not serve as officials, their disciples were eagerly looking forward to them. How could they not find out the likes and dislikes of His Highness Min?
"Let's talk about Jiangnan, the land of wealth." Zhu Yongxing looked around and said in a slightly louder voice: "The Qing court did not hesitate to send a large army to compete with our army, so it used this grain and white grain to supply the palace.
Consumption, official salaries, and military pay were all collected and plundered in the south of the Yangtze River, causing the people to suffer. Taking Suzhou Prefecture as an example, the cultivated land in seven counties in one prefecture only accounts for 1% of the country's cultivated land, but the amount of taxed grain accounts for 1% of the country's.
One-tenth of..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
