The next day, Ma Degong was patrolling the water gate, and dozens of Ming army boats arrived.
He hurriedly shouted: "Quick, fire off the cannon!"
A small boat rushed forward bravely despite the rain of artillery fire. The person on the bow was Liu Guoxuan, a heroic general of the Ming Army.
Liu Guoxuan picked up the bow, and a meteor hit the horse in the left chest.
"My life is at an end", Ma Degong shouted.
Huh? Why doesn't it hurt? When I lowered my head, I saw that it was an arrow without an arrow, and there was a letter tied to the arrow. My heart tightened, and I saw that there was no one around except a few confidants. I breathed a sigh of relief and picked it up.
Letter, hide and watch from no one.
When I opened it, I found that it was written by Huang Shu to himself and Zhang Xuesheng.
"Zhang and Ma Ergong Taijian: After being separated for several months, I was even more thoughtful. After I was captured, I thought that I would die, so I was mercifully pardoned by the strict commander. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I was in vain for the country's favor. Although I was spared death now, I feel deeply in my heart.
There is a debt. This debt is even more serious when it comes to rent collectors. It is very painful! It is very painful! What the second prince and his younger brother Xiamen did in the past is a crime! The law of captivity is very strict, and it will be inevitable. Prince Jing is kind and virtuous, why not abandon the dark side and join the bright side to participate in this grand event?
Live up to the teachings of the saints, and you can protect your family below! If your request is approved, three fires can be lit at the top of the city tonight. The next day at Hai hour, the fire will be lit as a signal, and soldiers will be sent to Shuimen. The weather is unpredictable,
Photographed by Fu Weizhen. My younger brother Huang Shu cried and worshiped.
Ma Degong was shocked when he saw the letter.
That year, he captured Xiamen Island and found a large amount of gold, silver and jewels in Zhu Chenggong's treasury. He was greedy and did not turn it over to the Qing court. He shared it privately with Zhang Xuesheng and Huang Shu. This was a serious crime of beheading and exile. Unexpectedly
Huang Shu was captured by the Ming army and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Such a huge clue was held by the Ming army, and they used it to threaten him. If he did not surrender, he would give this clue to the Manchus. Even if Fuzhou was defended, it would still be a dead end.
One piece.
What should we do? Ma Degong came to Zhang Xuesheng to discuss the matter. He also had a share in dividing the spoils. If three grasshoppers are tied to a rope, no one can escape.
Rao was the governor of Zhang Xueshengtang Province, and he was very good at cultivating qi. After listening to Ma Degong's explanation, his face was still pale with shock, and he was confused.
After a while, Zhang Xuesheng sighed, "Brother Ma, Yan Tianfeng has pinched our fate, so we have no choice but to surrender!"
Ma Degong was a little scared, "Brother Zhang, you are a civil servant, so I surrender. I am a military general, and my hands are stained with blood. I captured and killed the King of Ruichang Zhu Yilu back then. If you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, what if they pursue it in the future?"
Do it?"
"Brother Ma, don't worry. When it comes to capturing and killing clan members, Li Chengdong and Jin Shengheng have killed many more clan members than you. After the Ming Dynasty, won't they still be appointed high officials? There is also Geng Jimao, who has been stationed in Jia and has been a traitor for generations. After the Ming Dynasty, he has been notorious.
Don’t you want to reuse it as usual?”
Ma Degong was still worried, "But wasn't Tian Xiong beaten up after being captured?"
Zhang Xuesheng said: "Tian Xiong kidnapped Emperor Hongguang and surrendered. His crime was too great. Although you and Tian Xiong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Hongguang was not in your army and had nothing to do with you, so why should you be afraid? In addition, Tian Xiong is
After destroying all the troops, those who are defeated and captured will naturally be killed to establish their authority. You and I still have some troops in our hands, so if we don't surrender quickly, once the city is broken, it will be too late to surrender. Not just you and me, but the whole family will be killed.
Then I will be implicated."
Ma Degong suddenly realized that he must surrender as early as possible. He must surrender while he still has some soldiers in his hand and they can still be used. Otherwise, if he surrenders after the city is broken and there is no use value, he will definitely die. He and Zhang Xuesheng's family members are all in the city.
, resisted to the end, and the whole family suffered.
After thinking about it, Ma Degong yelled: "I completely listen to Brother Zhang."
In the evening, Zhang Xuesheng and Ma Degong lit three fires at the top of the city as agreed in the letter.
??
When the appointed time came, Zhang Xuesheng led two thousand governor's battalion soldiers, met with Ma Degong's three thousand green battalion soldiers, and quietly walked to Shuimen.
Mao Shenghui, the deputy general of Fuzhou in the Qing Dynasty, led a thousand soldiers and horses to assist the waterproof gate. Seeing the two men leading so many soldiers and horses, he was shocked: "Zhang Futai, General Ma, why did you bring so many people to patrol the city?"
Zhang Xuesheng said: "Vice General Mao, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Fuzhou City cannot be defended. We two want to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway. You and I can do it together."
Mao Shenghui was a close confidant of Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in the Qing Dynasty. Hearing this, he pretended to agree and bullied Zhang Xuesheng, then chopped him with a knife.
"Be careful Futai!"
Ma Degong pushed Zhang Xuesheng away, cut down Mao Shenghui, led his army to kill Mao Shenghui's subordinates, and took control of Shuimen.
"Futai, send the signal!"
Zhang Xuesheng escaped from death, composed himself and said: "Light the fire and open the city gate!"
Nan'an Bo Hao Yongzhong led 15,000 troops to ambush near Shuimen.
"Commander, there is a fire." I saw a fire burning at the top of the city.
"Enter the city", Hao Yongzhong led his troops in hundreds of small boats and sailed to Shuimen.
The Ming army entered the city one after another. Hao Yongzhong ordered Gan Hui to lead 5,000 men to seize the west city gate, and ordered Zhang Xuesheng and Ma Degong to lead the way to Duan Chen Tai's handsome mansion in Guanglufang, Nanhou Street.
Gan Hui led his troops to raid the west city gate, caught the city defenders off guard, killed the defenders, and opened the city gate. Baofeng Boluo Chengyao's troops outside the city immediately entered the city and controlled the city gates and walls.
Ji Xiha, the general guarding the west gate, heard the news and gathered thousands of soldiers and horses to recapture the city gate. Unable to withstand the large number of Ming troops, not only did he fail to recapture the city gate, but he was surrounded by the Ming army.
"Kill!"
Ji Xiha assassinated him like crazy, his spear was stained red, and You refused to retreat until he died.
Gan Hui rushed to Jixiha and killed him with a knife.
After Luo Chengyao and Gan Hui captured the west gate, they turned to the north gate. The guard Xifu died in the rebellion. Yan Tianfeng led the army into the city from the north gate.
Zhang Xuesheng and Ma Degong took Hao Yongzhong to Guanglufang, Nanhou Street.
"Commander, this is Chen Tai's mansion," Ma Degong said flatteringly to Hao Yongzhong.
"Well, you go and open the door, and then fight in."
"General Ma, what are you doing at the camp late at night?" Niu Lu Zhangjing, the gatekeeper, asked.
"I have something important to report to the commander-in-chief."
"Please come with me. Soldiers are not allowed to enter."
"Okay", Ma Degong grinned, walked up to Niu Lu Zhangjing, and chopped him down with one knife.
"Kill!"
The Ming army rushed to Chen Tai's handsome mansion.
Chen Tai's central army were all Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who had experienced hundreds of battles. They were very stubborn. They retreated to the second gate and could not attack for a while.
Seeing that the commander's mansion was on fire, Suk Saha, the guard of Nancheng, led thousands of elites to come to the rescue.
When they saw Zhang Xuesheng and Ma Degong, they cut off their braids and stormed the commander's mansion.
These Nikans are so brave, they dare to rebel!
Suk Saha was extremely angry and killed the two of them. Among his men were hundreds of Bagala soldiers, who were extremely brave and their combat power was much higher than that of the two men.
The horse galloped up to the horse, and slashed it under the horse with a sword. Zhang Xuesheng saw that the situation was not good, and ran away with his head in his arms.
Hao Yongzhong hurriedly led the enemy to Suksaha. Ming army Dong Fangce and Liu Guoxuan's troops also attacked the commander's mansion.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Suk Saha hurriedly entered the commander's house to see Chen Tai, "Commander, the Ming army has entered the city, and the east city gate is still in the hands of our army. Please break out from the east gate."
Chen Tai sighed and retreated to the east gate with Suk Saha. After meeting with the guard Dong Alai, he gathered more than 10,000 troops and fought their way out of the east city.
The Ming general of the East City, Zhou Rui of Min'an, had already dug three trenches outside the city, planted fences and built high barriers.
The Qing army finally filled up the trench and rushed to the front of the Ming army's camp.
"Bang! Bah! Bah!"
There was a burst of gunfire, and Dong Alai was shot into a sieve, and the mace in his hand rolled to the ground.
After failing to break through, the remaining troops of Chen Tai and Suk Saha were surrounded on the east wall, with Ming troops on all sides.
"Ouch!"
Suk Saha let out a wolf roar and killed dozens of people with two swords in his hands. Hundreds of Ming soldiers came from the opposite side. They fought until they were exhausted and were chopped into pieces.
Chen Tai was surrounded by the Ming army at the top of the city. When he saw a black-faced man running towards him to kill him.
Looking up to the sky and shouting: "I miss you Niu Hulu and Chen Tai. I fought in hundreds of battles throughout my life, but I unexpectedly died here today!"
The black man looked surprised: "Are you Chen Tai?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Hao Yongzhong, Nan'an Bo of the Ming Dynasty".
"Oh, are you the 'Hao Yaoqi'?"
Hao Yongzhong laughed loudly, "I don't want you to wait for the Tatars, but I also know your Grandpa Hao's name. It is your Grandpa Hao who deserves the first contribution. Take the lead!"
After saying this, he cut off Chen Tai's head with a knife.
The city of Fuzhou was captured, and among the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, a sun and moon flag fluttered in the wind.
??
After hearing the news that Yan Tianfeng had conquered Fuzhou, Zhu Hengjia was overjoyed. He made Yan Tianfeng the Duke of Fujian, Hao Yongzhong the Marquis of Nan'an, Ma Bao the Pucheng Bo, and all the other generals were rewarded.
He also ordered Yan Tianfeng to join forces with Yang Huai and Lin Cha in eastern Zhejiang, Yuan Zongdi and Hui Zhiguan in Jiangxi to recover Zhejiang as soon as possible and come to Zhili in the south to join forces with him.
