Winktu looked at the defeated soldiers around him, and then at the Muling Army approaching him, and finally realized that this battle was a complete failure. If he waited for the Muling Army to approach and get within the range of the muskets, I was afraid that I would not be able to escape, so I had no choice but to turn my horse's head and retreat with the crowd.
At this time, the Mongolian army attacking the left wing was trying to avoid force. Seeing that the troops in the center were defeated, they dared to continue to support it and they immediately retreated with the center. Although the Qing army attacking the right wing was still very tenacious. , they were still fighting inextricably with the Muling Army. But after all the troops in the center and the left retreated, the Qing army on this road, no matter how tenacious they were, could not stand alone, so they had no choice but to retreat.
In this way, the Qing army was finally defeated across the board and fled in all directions.
At this time, Shang Yi also received news that the captured people in Jinan Prefecture, organized by Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others, successfully launched a riot, defeated the Qing army who stayed behind, and occupied the entire city of Jinan Prefecture. news. Upon seeing the complete defeat of the Qing Army, he immediately ordered the Muling Army to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. At the same time, he ordered the two thousand Qingzhou Prefecture troops staying in Licheng County to rush to Jinan Prefecture in advance to take over Guancheng.
If Wenketu had not received news of the unrest in Jinan Prefecture, he would naturally have retreated to Jinan Prefecture. But now Wenketu also knew clearly that Jinan Prefecture might not be able to hold it, and escaping to Jinan Prefecture would be a dead end. , so they could only abandon Jinan, lead some troops, and retreat westward. Fortunately, at this time, the Muling Army was also busy taking over Jinan Prefecture, and did not pursue it hard. After pursuing it for a while, they withdrew their troops and returned to Jinan. went.
The Qing army ran for more than 20 miles in one go and retreated to the vicinity of Qihe County before stopping. At this time, Wenketu collected the defeated Longxi troops and sent people to various places to recruit other troops. Defeated the army, I also inquired about the movements of the Ming army.
One day later, nearly 3,000 people finally gathered in Longlong. At the same time, they also knew that Jinan Prefecture had indeed been captured by the Ming army. They also learned from several Qing soldiers who escaped from Jinan City that there was unrest in Jinan Prefecture. some details.
Jinan Prefecture is now completely lost, and with Wenktu's current military strength, it is a fool's errand to recapture Jinan Prefecture. But if we just go to Yanzhou Prefecture to see Abatai, Wenktu will also know, then it will definitely It was also a dead end, and he had to be killed by Abate to warn the entire army. But he wanted to escape, but his family members were still outside the pass. So Winktus thought about it, and finally decided to take advantage of Abate's death. Knowing that Jinan was lost, he took the risk of sneaking back outside the customs, picked up his family, and then flew away. So that night, Wenketu took a few cronies, packed some gold and silver, and took more than ten horses. , and headed north overnight.
And early the next morning, the other defeated soldiers suddenly discovered that their armor and forehead were really missing, and they all became confused. After waiting for another day, Winktu did not come back, so they all knew that he had probably run away. So some people took advantage of the chaos and ran away, but most people decided to go to Yanzhou to report the news to Abatai. However, after such a delay, it would be more than ten days before Abatai received the news of the fall of Jinan. Already.
After defeating the Qing army, Shang Yi left some troops to clean the battlefield, and brought another group to Jinan. He immediately ordered people to ride fast horses to report the victory to Qingzhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture respectively.
But just as he entered the city, something unexpected happened to Shang Yi.
It turned out that the Qing army had gathered a large amount of grain and supplies in Jinan Fuzhong, including hundreds of thousands of taels of silver alone, and had several warehouses piled up. After Zhao Congfu and Wu Hansheng led the people to defeat the remaining Qing troops, the people only focused on killing the Qing soldiers. They grabbed food and didn't care about anything else. In addition, the two of them comforted the people, so the city still maintained a relatively good order.
But just after two thousand Qingzhou soldiers entered the city, the situation immediately changed.
Although this group of Qingzhou soldiers were incapable of fighting, they did the same thing. When they entered the city, they saw that all the Qing troops had fled, and there was no one else except themselves. As for the common people, they were still They didn't take it to heart. They immediately became bold and started searching the city separately. The materials collected by the Qing army were not deliberately hidden, so they found a lot of them without any effort. It turned out that there were so many things in the city. What a good thing, why are you so polite? I started grabbing it right away.
At first they were just robbing things, but soon some Qingzhou soldiers set their sights on the common people. Maybe there were a lot of good things hidden in these common people? At the same time, there were thousands of people selected by the Qing army. The women were all looking for their relatives. Although men and women were mixed, it could be seen that there were many women. So the Qingzhou soldiers also had bad intentions, and under the pretext of searching, they began to yell at the people, beat and scold them, complain, and fight.
If it were normal times, the common people could only endure it, but at this time, the common people had just repelled the Qing army, and their blood had not calmed down. Those who could endure it, the two sides immediately clashed and fought quickly. However, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was far inferior to that of the Qing soldiers, so they were beaten up and down by the common people. When these Qingzhou soldiers saw that they could not defeat the common people, they quickly found other people to help, and The common people also had helpers, and the more the two sides gathered, the bigger the war became. It later developed into a melee involving two to three thousand people.
However, Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others only had a few dozen people. Jinan was so big that they couldn't control it at all. When they received the news and rushed to the scene of the conflict, the two sides were already fighting fiercely. Not dozens of them could Fortunately, Shang Yi Yi Jing led the Muling army into the city at this time. After hearing the news, he also rushed to the scene immediately.
At this time, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and dozens of corpses were lying on the ground. Comparatively speaking, the officers and soldiers suffered more injuries than the civilians.
"Pah-pah-pah-pah-"
Under Shang Yi's instruction, a row of musketeers fired into the sky. The loud noise immediately woke up everyone who was fighting. Then they all stopped and looked at Shang Yi. I saw that this army was quite large. There is something different about them. They all have sullen eyebrows and murderous intent, and there is a lot of blood on their bodies. They are said to be ferocious, and they are no less fierce than the Qing army. Moreover, the soldiers in the front row each hold a firecracker. The black muzzles of the guns were pointed at everyone, and many of them were emitting white smoke, which made people feel terrified.
Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly came up to persuade the people. Because they led the people to mobilize and defeated the Qing army, they still had some prestige in the minds of the people. After everyone's dissuasion, the people slowly retreated.
Go down. The Qingzhou soldiers couldn't resist in the first place. When they saw someone trying to stop the fight, they just wanted to do it, so they immediately retreated a little. The two sides finally separated.
Shang Yi then stood between the two parties and asked: "What is going on?"
A commander-in-chief walked out of the army and came to Shang Yi and said: "President Qian, you have to make the decision for us. These people are really abominable. We must punish them well."
When they said this, the people naturally wanted to refute, and they started talking one after another. The officers and soldiers were not to be outdone, and started to argue. Although the two sides stopped fighting, they started to quarrel again.
Only when Shang Yi shouted: "Shut up, everyone." Both parties stopped again. Then Shang Yi said to the boss: "Where is your boss He Qian? Where are the others? Give me some
They all called here."
It turned out that the commander of the Qingzhou soldiers was named He Bin, who was also a Qianzong. The commander agreed and was about to go look for it when he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps. He Binyi also arrived with more than a thousand officers and soldiers. It turned out that he
He also heard that his officers and soldiers fought with the people and suffered a lot of losses. He immediately gathered other troops and came to help, but he didn't expect that Shang Yi was here. He hurried up to say hello: "Mr. Shang Qian,
You are here too, it seems that you have subdued these people who hold the people in check..." But when he saw Shang Yi's sullen face and an angry expression, he felt that he could not continue.
Shang Yi saw clearly from his experience that all the Qingzhou soldiers who came had bulging bags in their waists and arms, obviously carrying a lot of things. There were also many people carrying large and small bags. And there were a few soldiers because of
It was stuffed too much, and a few pieces of silver coins fell out of my arms. When I was about to pick them up, a soldier bent down and made a splash, and more than a dozen pieces of silver coins fell out of my arms.
When the soldiers of the Muling Army saw this, their faces showed disdain and anger.
Shang Yi couldn't help but regret secretly. Although he had taken precautions, he still overestimated the quality of the Ming army in this era. He really shouldn't have allowed them to take over Jinan. So he looked at He Bin and shouted sternly: "Mr. He Qian"
, what's going on, I asked you to enter the city and take over the city defense, I didn't ask you to rob the supplies privately, please hand over everything you grabbed first."
He Bin also had some embarrassment on his face, but he smiled and said: "Mr. Shang Qian, isn't this a victory over the Tartars? The brothers have worked hard, and everyone has not been paid for a long time, so they are all a little hungry.
It’s normal to get something. Besides…”
Shang Yi snorted and interrupted him: "With all your virtues, are you worthy of repelling the Tartars?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused laughter from Mu Ling's army. Someone said: "When I was fighting with the Tartars, you all were hiding in Licheng County and didn't dare to come out. Now you dare to brag and say that it is
You defeated the Qing soldiers. What the hell are you doing?"
"You stay there while we are fighting the Tatars outside. When we defeat the Tatars, you can hide in Jinan City and eat for free. That makes sense."
"There are still Tatars outside the city. If you have the ability, go out and fight with them. Don't just hide in the city and grab things. You are a coward."
Everyone in the Mu Ling Army was in disbelief, and He Bin and the Qingzhou soldiers were also a little worried. At this time, Shang Yi said again: "How long it has been since you were paid has nothing to do with me. If you defeat the Tatars, I will judge your merits."
I’m going to reward you, so don’t tell me anything else and hand over everything first.”
