(Ten years of forgetting!) Do not forget you, and may you rest in peace! ）

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Taiyuan, named Han Wenquan as the envoy of Taiyuan Jiedu, and Chen Yongfu as the general army stationed in Taiyuan, respectively in charge of Shanxi military and politics. Han Wenquan worked in the Ming Governor's Yamen, and Chen Yongfu was stationed in the Jin Palace, and it was from that day that the Governor's Yamen witnessed the changes in the world.

Just a few months later, the Manchu Qing sent Azig, the prince of Northern Luying, to lead a heavy army into Jin and besiege Taiyuan. On the third day of October, Taiyuan City fell. Dashun has only existed in this courtyard for 8 months. In March of the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Ma Guozhu, the new governor of Shanxi, was stationed in the Yamen of Dashun Jiedu, and this yamen was naturally renamed the Yamen of Shanxi Governor.

Like most of the governor's yamen, there is a wall in front of this yamen, a pair of stone lions stand up to the left, three arches are arranged from the east to the west, the east "Fusui Quanjin" square, the west "Admiral Sanguan" square, Wu Weixian "workshop". At this time, outside the yamen, a group of green battalion soldiers with guns roaming around, and the atmosphere was only extremely tense compared to the past.

It is no wonder that just a few days ago, after Li Ziyuan had personally commanded more than 200,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, he began to occupy the prefectures, prefectures, and counties in southern Jinnan on the one hand, and rushed towards Taiyuan on the other. This Taiyuan city is naturally very nervous, and in the past few days, Ding Zhuang in this city has been requisitioned to the city to assist the green camp in defending the city. As the center, this governor's yamen is naturally heavily guarded.

And in the second hall of this yamen, Bai Rumei, who was the governor of Shanxi at this time, looked panicked, and then sometimes when the drum of the drum tower sounded, he couldn't help but be frightened, thinking that it was the sound of guns. Although it is said that he is the governor of a province, but Bai Rumei does not have the slightest character of a person, when he was an official in Beijing of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Dashun army entered the city, he took the lead in surrendering Dashun, and later the Qing army entered the customs, he not only accepted the surrender, but also took the initiative to shave his head, at that time, his behavior was not even ashamed, after all, when he first entered the customs, the Qing army had not forced the Han people to shave their heads, and the reason why he was like this was naturally his scruples.

“…… Back then, after Bai shaved his hair, everyone at the time said that Bai was shameless, but the people of the time didn't know that it was easy to invite God and difficult to send God, since the court entered Beijing, how could it be easy to leave? Later, if you shave your hair, even if it is bloody, what can you do? ”

Bai Rumei's words did not hide it in the slightest, he never minded telling other people, he was not bloody, and he didn't even mind telling others what he wanted in his heart, just like at this time, when facing Yang Zhenwei in front of him, he seemed quite direct, and even sighed after glancing at him.

"Presumably the same was true of the military gate back then!"

Being Bai Rumei like this, Yang Zhenwei's forehead suddenly broke out with a handful of sweat, how could he not know what the governor in front of him was referring to?

At that time, Jiang Huang, the chief soldier of Datong, was in Datong anyway, and defended the city for more than eight months, and when foreign aid was hopeless, Yang Zhenwei, who was still the chief soldier of Jiang Huang's subordinates, defected, and secretly sent people out of the city to contact the besieging Qing army to surrender. Subsequently, he led more than 600 officers and soldiers to mutiny, killed Jiang Jiu, his brother Jiang Lin, and his younger brother Jiang Youguang, and surrendered out of the city with his head. The next day, the Qing army entered the city. After receiving the report, Dolgon ordered that in addition to the families of Yang Zhenwei's officers and soldiers, "the officials, soldiers and people" in Datong City should be punished.

And Yang Zhenwei was also promoted to the chief soldier of Shanxi, when all his surrender was because there was no hope of defending the city, of course, it was also for personal glory and wealth, the chief military officer of Shanxi, this is the reward given to him by the regent, and now he is the governor of Shanxi, and the governor is also a provincial military affairs.

For many years, no one has mentioned the old things of Datong in front of him, and now this old thing has been mentioned by Bai Rumei, which makes Yang Zhenwei's heart empty, and it is also a fire.

"Why does Futai need to be like this?"

These blunt words came into Bai Rumei's ears, making him just smile bitterly.

"There is a military gate, how dare Bai defend the city......"

This sentence made Yang Zhen stand up violently, and he said even more nervously when he thought that there were ambushes in this hall.

"Governor Bai, Yang is an official of the imperial court, if you dare to kill Yang......"

shouted like this, but Yang Zhenwei didn't see an ambush soldier come out, and looked at Bai Rumei, who was sitting there with a wry smile, and his expression immediately became embarrassed.

"My lord, down there, down ......"

"Hey, Bai is not Jiang Jiu, so naturally he will not work for the military gate, besides, this Taiyuan can't be defended for eight months, the military gate, you give Bai a thorough understanding, if Li Ziyuan attacks the city, with the strength of Taiyuan, how many days can he defend?"

Bai Rumei's words made Yang Zhenwei smile awkwardly before he said.

"Back to Futai, in fact, in Yang's view, Li Ziyuan's Northern Expedition is just a bluff, if it weren't for the imperial army being attracted by Zhu Yi, how could he lead the Northern Expedition? After he captured Wuchang last year, he took Zhuzhou County in Hubei, although although he took the people as soldiers and ordered him to be under his command for no less than 20 years, and he trained for more than half a year, which can barely be regarded as elite soldiers, although his plundering of the people as soldiers is not like the thieves of the past, and he captured all the men along the way, and only captured young men between the ages of 18 and 38, but the elite of his army is still the 50,000 elite he led when he left Jiujiang, and even in the next view, the other 150,000 people are not as good as the tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers that Henan surrendered to him......

In fact, the reason why Yang Zhenwei has such a judgment is completely limited by the eyes of the times, he only thinks that Li Ziyuan is like the old generals, every time he captures a city, he will take the people as soldiers, and then have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but the elite who can fight are only tens of thousands of veterans, as for the others, they are just siege cannon fodder. However, he completely ignored the "armor system" implemented by dozens of prefectures and counties under Li Ziyuan's rule, following the example of Jiangbei, and completely departed from the concept of "taking the people as soldiers", and even made it compulsory, and even during the implementation period, he did not hesitate to use the swords and guns in his hands to forcibly recruit the people into the army, but in terms of training, he still borrowed the practice of the loyal and righteous army in the distribution of new soldiers, and except for a few elites, the new army would be supplemented to each battalion and trained by the way of "bringing the old with the new", thus ensuring the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Then these 200,000 people attack Taiyuan, how many days can the military gate be guarded?"

This is what Bai Rumei cares about, he doesn't care about whether Li Ziyuan's command is elite at all, and he doesn't care if he has recruited more than 100,000 recruits in Henan, what he cares about is that Taiyuan can hold for a few days, after all, he is the governor of Shanxi.

"This ......"

Yang Zhenwei's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said after a while.

"Futai, the city wall of Taiyuan City has not been repaired for more than ten years, if it is bombarded with Hongyi cannons, I am afraid that in a few days, the Taiyuan city wall will be broken......

What is Retribution?

I'm afraid this is retribution, maybe it's because I'm afraid that the Han people will defend the city after the "rebellion", maybe it's to save money, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the city wall has not been repaired, and every time a local petition, it will always be rejected by the imperial court for various reasons, and even worse, it is directly not allowed to have the expense of repairing the city wall, so that the city wall that has not been repaired for more than ten years is naturally not as strong as in previous years.

And Bai Rumei, who was born as a Beijing official, didn't know why she didn't repair the city wall, because the Qing court didn't think of herself as a Chinese at all, and even thought about it, once she lost her power in the pass, she fled back to the pass, and even the Forbidden City would not have been repaired if it were not for the emperor's residence. Wouldn't the walls of this place be willing to be repaired?

Now that the Ming army is coming, they want to defend the city, how to defend this dilapidated city wall?

When Bai Rumei's heart cried bitterly, countless thoughts kept rolling in her mind, and Yang Zhenwei was the same, neither of them was a loyal minister.

One is the grass on the wall, the other side is big and the other is "aware of current affairs", so the two people's thoughts are naturally somewhat similar, they naturally do not think about how to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, for them, the most important thing is personal glory and wealth.

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, Bai Rumei glanced at Yang Zhenwei, this person is really not reassuring, thinking about how he killed people and sacrificed the city back then, his heart suddenly felt a chill, if the person in front of him wanted to sacrifice the city, who could stop him in this city?

Although Bai Rumei is the governor of a province, he does not have military power, Shanxi's military power is in the hands of the governor of Shanxi, that is, in the hands of Yang Zhenwei, at least the more than 10,000 green battalions in Taiyuan City are controlled by him......

Actually, Bai Rumei is really not mistaken, almost after learning that Li Ziyuan led 200,000 troops to cross the river, whether to surrender or not to surrender was rolling in Yang Zhenwei's heart, if it weren't for the fact that he had killed Jiang Jiu and others, I am afraid that he would have already sent someone to contact Li Ziyuan and was willing to sacrifice Taiyuan City, after all, it is not the Qing Dynasty that is powerful now, but the Ming Dynasty, when he betrayed Jiang Jiu and sacrificed Datong City, one is to save his life, and the other is because in his opinion, this Daming's qi has been exhausted, but who would have thought that this Daming would also turn over one day?

But he didn't dare to surrender, he was afraid of being liquidated by the Ming Dynasty, after all, he was a traitor, but a hardcore traitor, and even his hands were stained with the blood of millions of people in Jin Province, even those people were slaughtered by the Qing army, but if he hadn't killed Jiang Jiu and surrendered, how could the Qing army easily seize Shanxi, Datong was lost, and the cities around Shanxi were not defended, and Fenzhou, Yuncheng, Taigu and other places fell one after another. Every time the Qing army attacked a city, they killed all the locals. In addition, in recent years, he has led troops to clean up the "righteous army" in Taihang Mountain and other places, it can be said that I don't know how many people in Shanxi are eager to eat his bones, how dare he surrender?

Even if he surrendered, how could Li Ziyuan be surrendered by him?

"Brother, you said that if someone from the south is sent over and is willing to keep you and me safe......

Looking at Yang Zhenwei, Bai Rumei asked tentatively.

"Would you like to come down?" 8)
