Chapter 774: Resigned to fate

The traitor Sheng Zhong is a first-class general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although he is known for loyalty, but he never knows what loyalty is?

He was the first to shout, "Brothers, don't kill each other, this official will not let everyone die, and now take the initiative to lead everyone to surrender to the 'Red Banner Army'." ”

Liu Shiying, Chen Bianwu and others reacted and shouted together: "This officer orders all the defenders to lay down their arms and wait for the 'Red Flag Army' to accept surrender. ”

Their voices actually sent themselves to the point of no return, because the rebel army outside couldn't hear it, and the family members and soldiers inside immediately lost their fighting spirit when they heard it, and they all began to throw the weapons they carried with them on the ground.

The rebels only shouted to kill all the senior officers, but did not shout to kill all the family members, so of course the family members had no need to resist stubbornly, and they all followed the crowd and prepared to surrender.

At this moment, a group of red-eyed rebels rushed into Gongshun Wang Xingyuan, and when they saw Liu Shiying and other generals, they couldn't help but say that they directly stabbed, slashed, and chopped with axes, "Don't, don't, brothers, this official is ready to surrender like you, ah!" ……”

The chief flag officer who looked fierce and vicious chopped off Sheng Zhong's head with an axe, didn't care about the blood spraying his head and face, and said viciously

"Dog thing, it's too late to want to surrender! Why did you go earlier? Brothers, kill all the senior officers, and leave no one behind, and their family members dare to kill us without mercy, and kill ......."

A small flag officer who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to avenge his personal revenge shouted: "Where is Kong Laosan? Don't let that bastard get away. A few days ago, Lao Tzu was whipped by him more than a dozen times, and today Lao Tzu wants him to look good. ”

Another flag officer saw the ferocity of the fire here and shouted, "Brothers, when the general takes over Pyongyang City, we can't let this place become a sea of fire. ”

Kong Laosan heard that the rebel army was not ready to let him go, the head of the family, and was completely desperate.

He is self-aware, he has done too many evil things in the past, and he has a lot of grudges with soldiers, low-level military attachΓ©s, and civilian officials, and it will definitely not be a good death if it falls into their hands at this time.

He hissed, "Respectfully to the king, I have come to accompany you!" "Crashing headlong into a sea of fire, it was quickly engulfed in flames......

Seeing this, the other family members lost their spirits even more, and sat on the ground one by one and resigned themselves to fate.

After Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, Zhang Geng and others led their men and horses into the city, they found that there was no organized resistance here, and there were wolves rushing everywhere, and the Qing troops they saw were all raised their hands and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.

They suffered from the lack of war horses, so they could only trot all the way to the center of the city, and more than a dozen surrendered Qing soldiers took the initiative to take them in the direction of Gongshun Wang Xingyuan.

"Lao Tzu is Mao Da Mao Chenglu of Dongjiang Town, is there any old man from the original Dongjiang Town? You bring a message to Kong Youde's grandson, Lao Tzu wants to fight with him alone. ”

Many subordinates also shouted, "Turtle Sun Kong Youde, come out quickly, Mao Da is looking for you to settle accounts!" ”

The fierce chief flag officer is really the old department of Dongjiang Town, but he is not treated by Kong Laosan, who has the rank of second-class staff general, and he is just a chief flag officer after so many years.

Therefore, he hated the senior officers in his heart and clamoured to kill them all.

At this time, he heard the shouts of the "Red Flag Army" and hurriedly greeted him, and he knelt down and cried from afar, and he didn't know whether he saw Mao Chenglu's true feelings or the performance was the majority.

He said, "General Mao, the small car is tens of millions, the small one was trained by you when he first joined the army, and the small one was the most whipped by you at that time." ”

Nearly ten years have passed, where will Mao Chenglu remember a teenage pawn back then, but looking at Che Wanqian's appearance, he is vaguely familiar, and he asked, "The official asked you, where did Kong Youde go?" ”

Che Wandao said, "Returning to General Yu, Kong Youde's house knew that it was impossible to escape death and set fire to himself, and now many brothers are fighting fires, in order to let the 'Red Banner Army' accept a complete Pyongyang city." ”

Shang Keyi and Mao Chenglu were immediately deflated, and Mao Chenglu scolded, "Self-immolation? Damn, this product is too cowardly, dare to stubbornly resist against the 'Red Flag Army' but dare not fight to the end, I'm sorry! ”

Zhang Geng was anxious, and stepped forward from behind and asked, "Which of you saw Kong Youde self-immolation?" ”

A Han man dressed as a servant trembled and said, "The little one saw Gongshun with his own eyes, no, no, not long after seeing Kong Youde locked himself in the house, the fire jumped up so high, and later the head of the family, Kong Laosan, also rushed in to accompany the burial." ”

Zhang Geng also fantasized about cutting Kong Youde with a thousand knives, but who knew that the kid chose to commit suicide directly than Geng Zhongming.

He was still angry in his heart, and saluted Mao Chenglu and said, "General Mao, please stay in the fire to find the bodies of Kong Youde and Kong Laosan, and prevent him from escaping by taking the golden cicada's shell." ”

Mao Chenglu thought it made sense, and asked the servant again, "Can you be sure that only Kong Youde and Kong Laosan were burned to death inside?" ”

"The little one dares to guarantee that in broad daylight, everyone else is far away from the fire, and no one will be burned to death."

Mao Chenglu said to Zhang Geng, "You have to wait for the fire to cool down completely and search carefully, Kong Youde, your kid is indeed very tricky, and it cannot be ruled out that there are escape passages such as secret passages in the room." ”

Zhang Gengnai is an academic intellectual young officer, with a flexible head and a lot of wit, he said

"General Mao, please relax, after clearing this place, command hundreds of people to dig three feet into the ground, and you will know if there is a tunnel to dig the ground."

Shang Keyi approvingly, "Good idea, there is really an authenticity, as long as you find the tunnel entrance, Kong Youde, that kid still can't run." ”

At this time, Che Wan replied again: "General Mao, General Shang, the Han army and the Korean soldiers in Pyongyang City all hate those generals who help and abuse.

When the city was in turmoil, they slashed and killed military attachΓ©s above the general level, and here there were deputy generals Liu Shiying, Sheng Zhong, Chen Bianwu, staff generals Fang Xianke, Liu Wuyuan and other brothers who were cut down. ”

Mao Chenglu said loudly, "Good killing, a group of traitors actually dare to fight against the general of the conquest, and they are innocent!" Come on! Convey the order of the official, search for traitors in the whole city, and find that all the generals and superiors have been brought here, and the resisters will be killed! ”

Mao Chenglu knew that the "Red Banner Army" was full of talents, and the generals of the Qing Army who were admitted to defect would probably need to be placed in official positions, so he decided to kill the generals for the conquest, so as not to upset the generals with more traitor generals.

Shang Keyi immediately understood what Mao Chenglu meant, and said, "General Mao, let's split up and take over the grassroots officers and soldiers as much as possible, and find that the Qing army generals who are determined to be traitors to the end will be killed." ”
