I only heard the old man continue: "General, these 20 jars of gunpowder were all buried under the county government at the beginning, and Yan Gong was used to ignite the county government to kill the enemy just in case, but ...... It didn't work after all. ”

Wu Zheng heard that cold sweat flowed down, I went, this nearly 10,000 catties of gunpowder was actually under a county office, and he was in the county government before, if he was ignited by the national treasure, I am afraid that there will not even be a complete corpse left, and it will have already disappeared.

The old man saw Wu Zheng's fear, and hurriedly said: "This matter is also known to the old man and a few other survivors, and even the people in the city now don't know. ”

Wu Zheng took a long breath and came out.

"The general went to Changzhou this time, with the help of more than 20 jars of gunpowder, he will definitely be able to recover Changzhou, make great military achievements, and go down in history."

Wu Zheng arched his hand and said: "Thank you, old man, thank you to the people of Jiangyin, Wu Zheng accepted this gift." ”

The old man stretched out his hand, took Wu Zheng's hand, and then led to the carts, pointed to the tightly wrapped objects and said, "Guess again, general, what are these?" ”

Wu Zheng looked left and right, but he really couldn't guess, and turned around to let Qian Sudian's uncle and nephew and the rest of the generals guess, and they all shook their heads.

The old man said solemnly: "Speaking of which, this is not my great thing. On the tenth day of the seventh month, Yan Gong ordered Wang Gongluo, a Wuju person, to guard the east gate, Wang to guard the south gate, Chen Mingyu to guard the west gate, and himself to guard the north gate. He and Chen Ming met the four gates of the governor and patrolled day and night. The next day, the Qing army rushed to attack the north gate, could not be attacked for a long time, the Qing army commander personally led the army into battle, climbed to the city wall, was a warrior nicknamed the overlord named Liu Nai under the command of Yan Gong at that time, a shot stabbed in the throat, and fell to death under the city. As soon as he died, all the Qing troops began to retreat and cry, and then our army knew that this was actually the Seven Kings of Tartars. ”

"On the twelfth, the Qing army still attacked the north gate, and the two kings of the Tartars were brave and brave, leading a hundred Qing troops full of three-layer armor, with two knives hanging from their waists, two sharp blades on their shoulders, and a knife in their hands, and climbed the ladder to destroy the battlements of the north gate. The guns and bayonets of our garrison did not work, and then someone shouted and stabbed him in the face, so everyone stabbed the Tartar in the face. On the battlements, there was a young man surnamed Tang, who held a hook and sickle to hook the throat of the two Tartar kings, and there was Yao Er, a bamboo craftsman in the city, who took advantage of the situation to cut off his head. ”

In Wu Zheng's mind, that kind of tragic picture appeared.

Even the Tartar generals themselves became death squads, what kind of situation did Jiangyin City force them to?

A small county town, so that the Qing court used 240,000 troops, hundreds of artillery, more than 1,000 generals, and the final casualties, no less than the people in Jiangyin City, reached more than 70,000 people, what is even more shocking is that this battle actually made the Qing court lose three princes, eighteen generals, which is rare even in the entire history.

When the wind was invincible in various places, Yan Yingyuan relied on the support of the people of Jiangyin to face a strong enemy, and persisted for nearly three months, killing tens of thousands of Qing troops, severely defeating the spirit of the Qing army, and restraining the main force of the Qing army to the south.

Later generations commented on the eighty-first day of Jiangyin, the season of Ming, and Shilin had no shame. Those who are high-ranking officials and enjoy heavy fame, who beg to be masked and surrender to the proud and marshal of Xinjiang, are all anti-introverted. The history of Duyan and Chen Erdian is righteous in one city. If this is the case for the envoy to guard the entrance of Beijing, then Jiangnan will not give up his hands.

This history of Yan and Chen Erdian is about Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu.

At that time, the history of Jiangyin was Chen Mingyu, and he was the first to lead Jiangyin to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Mingyu is a fellow villager of Wu Zheng, a native of Shangyu, with a generous temperament and fairness, so although he has not been in office for too long, his popularity among the people is quite high.

When the Qing soldiers had just gone south, he and Feng Houdun, the county school instructor, Zhou Ruilong, the capital secretary and others, together with the Jiangyin gentry, planned to recruit militia to go to Nanjing Qinwang, but unfortunately before the division reached Beijing, Nanjing had already fallen, and this team had to disperse in tears.

At that time, the Changzhou government had surrendered to the Qing army under the leadership of Liu Guangdou, the imperial history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the prince of Qing Yu Duoduo ordered Liu Guangdou to pacify the five counties of the Changzhou government.

Jiangyin County ordered Lin Zhiji to care about the Ming Dynasty and was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he hung up the seal and left.

Later, the Qing court appointed Fang Heng, a native of Henan, as the new Jiangyin Zhixian Fang Heng was a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, and he paid in advance to take refuge before the Qing soldiers arrived in Henan, so he got this official position.

As soon as Fang Heng arrived, before his butt was hot and no one knew him, he began to vigorously promote the shaving order, and he posted a notice strictly ordering the people to shave their hair within three days.

The concept that the body is skinned and the parents who do not dare to destroy it has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Han people, and this order soon caused an uproar in Jiangyin City.

Dozens of local squires pleaded with Fang Heng and asked for a stay of execution.

Fang Heng was not only not allowed, but also scolded.

The squires couldn't bear it, and some people ridiculed each other, you are a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, come to be the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, are you ashamed?

And just like that, a storm began to brew.

Two days later, that is, on the first day of the sixth month, Fang Heng went to the Confucian Temple to offer incense, and more than 100 county students led by Xiucai Xu Yong and a large number of people asked him to keep his hair again.

Fang Heng replied domineeringly, this is the law of the Qing Dynasty, and it must not be violated!

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Fang Heng's attitude angered the petitioners and the people.

Xiucai Xu couldn't help but raise his arms and shout in anger, his head can be broken, and his hair must not be shaved!

The onlookers also echoed together, and for a while, the shouts resounded in the sky.

The storm is officially in shape.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ji Shimei, Ji Congxiao, a young man from the north gate, beat gongs and drums, shouted loudly and went to the county government to petition.

Fang Heng did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and not only did he not lenilate it, but instead shouted and reprimanded him, claiming that he would arrest and imprison the person who caused the trouble.

This kind of hard-to-hard collision aroused public indignation.

Coincidentally, at this time, Fang Heng's husband, a student surnamed Su, happened to send his family to congratulate Fang Heng.

Seeing this kind of scene, in order to please Fang Xiang, the family helped, you slaves, all of them should be beheaded!

These words are like a spark that ignites the fuse of gunpowder.

The hot-tempered youths shouted and beat the dog slave to death.

The crowd rushed up and beat the family to death.

Fang Xiang was angry and wanted to arrest someone, but at this time, I was afraid that he would not be able to do anything.

Not only could he not catch it, but he also received a few old punches from someone I don't know who.

In desperation, Fang Xiang thought that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, so he gave in to the people, declared that he was willing to respond upward, and suggested that the shaving order be cancelled.

And when the people believed, they dispersed.
