"You and Zhang Huangyan captured Hangzhou?!" Zhu Linmiao was surprised, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
"Back to Your Highness," Deng Shan grinned, "at the beginning, the Hangzhou thief army resisted stubbornly. Zhang Baishi transported cannons to bombard outside Hangzhou day and night, and the thieves were bombarded to prevent the city from being blasted, and three days ago they took advantage of the night to attack the city. Zhang Yishi took the plan into account, pretended to be defeated and retreated, and let his subordinates lead his troops to ambush nearby.
"The thieves thought that our army had been defeated, so they sent for the cannons to be dragged into the city. The subordinates waited for the cannon to arrive at the city gate, and immediately led the troops to kill, and the city gate of Hangzhou was blocked by heavy artillery, and it was difficult to close it for a while, and the subordinates attacked the city in one fell swoop.
Zhang Baishi ran out for more than ten miles, and suddenly turned back and attacked, killing the thief and defeating him. We took Hangzhou that night! ”
What a Zhang Huangyan! Zhu Linmiao stroked his palms and said: "You only led 3,000 Zhejiang troops and 1,000 broken camps to conquer the important town of Hangzhou, but you have made a great achievement!" ”
He only thought that Zhang Huangyan's little men and horses could hold back the Qing army near Qiantang It was rare, but he didn't expect to achieve such a result! With Hangzhou, Zhejiang is basically completely recovered.
He remembered that this should be the first victory of the old Ming army without relying on his own strength. This is definitely a good start!
He remembered the second half of Deng Shan's words, "You said that Zhang Huangyan went to Suzhou again?!" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, Zhang Yi got a letter from Su Song's famous man Chen Zilong, saying that Wu Shengzhao, the former Su Song commander, took advantage of the thieves to transfer Su Song's troops, and contacted the old department in prison.
"Zhang discussed with his subordinates and felt that this matter could be done, and after Su Song's soldiers and horses were obtained, he could encircle Suzhou in the west."
It seems that it is really the same situation as Wu Shengzhao in history anyway, and the matter has long been revealed. Zhu Lin said in his heart, but now because Zhang Mingzhen and others did not lead troops to Susong to respond, the Ming army did not have any losses.
If Wu Shengzhao can use his influence to make a fuss in Susong, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless. Su Song is an important town in the east of Nanzhili, and after Su Song, he besieged Suzhou, and most of the coastal areas of Nanzhi were recovered.
At present, we are only waiting for the capture of Nanjing, and there will be no place to build a cone in the entire south of the Yangtze River!
It's just that Zhang Huangyan is also bold, let him act cheaply in the Qiantang area, and he dared to go directly to Suzhou. Zhu Linmiao hurriedly said to Shi Lin: "Let Yu Xin transfer some weapons and armor to Zhang Huangyan's department, we don't need a lot of grain and rice here, allocate 10,000 stones to him." In addition, I want to tell Zhang Huangyan that it is not advisable to be anxious to attack Suzhou, and it is a great achievement to besiege the thieves in the city. ”
"Yes!"
……
Two more days later.
The news of the Ming Dynasty's recapture of Xiaoling quickly spread all over the country. As Zhu Linwei expected, the morale of the entire Ming Dynasty was suddenly high.
In the past few days, the people and scholars near Nanjing have spontaneously rushed to the vicinity of Xiaoling, and there are as many as 60,000 or 70,000 people here in the blink of an eye!
Although they could not enter the cemetery, let alone worship the filial piety tomb, it did not prevent everyone from solemnly kowtowing in front of the tomb to express the excitement in their hearts. Since the end of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, everyone has not been so happy for a long time.
There are also head shavers who offer free service for everyone, just buy some wigs, they can braid the ugly rattail into a bun, if you add a hat, you can't see the slightest trace at all.
At the same time, many nearby merchants also took out private hoarding of Hanfu and sold it at cost price, as long as it was someone who was not so tight on hand, they would generally buy a set to wear.
For a time, it was bustling outside the city of Nanjing, and people were all new clothes and hats, whether they knew each other or not, they all laughed and saluted each other when they met, and it was as lively as the Shangyuan Festival.
"Hey, I heard that Master Wang is going to hold a funeral ceremony for the fallen soldiers on the south side of Xiaoling."
"The army of the auxiliary king has exterminated 70,000 thieves in Jurong, I should go and pay respects......"
"The soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, how could they not give them a ride?"
"Where? I'll go with ......."
The hearts of the people are like mirrors, the previous Ming army was corrupted, looting everywhere, where someone is looking at them. And now these heroes who drove Kuang Guo, everyone respects them from the bottom of their hearts.
To the south of Xiaoling, 5,000 soldiers of the Ming Army stood neatly on both sides of the road with guns all over their bodies.
In the middle of the road are the remains of more than 2,000 soldiers who died in Jurong. Each of them is covered with a blue background of the sun and the moon of the Ming Army, always reminding people that lying here are the soul of the Ming Army!
These military flags and mourning clothes were urgently prepared by Ying Tianxiang two days ago.
As the mourning music arose, a young man walked slowly to the front with a sword, followed by four soldiers who lifted a thin coffin and placed it into a tomb that had already been dug on the large flat ground on the south side of the tomb.
The onlookers spontaneously knelt down to those heroes and bowed silently.
Some people also whispered, "I didn't expect that just an ordinary soldier could be buried near the imperial tomb, what an honor is this?!" ”
"It is said that this is specially ordered by His Royal Highness the Auxiliary Minister, and it is a great honor!"
"Under the Purple Mountain, the tiger is on the dragon plate, this kind of feng shui can definitely shade the ...... of future generations"
"You don't know, the person who walked in front just now is His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King? I heard someone call him before. ”
"His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King actually personally sent the funeral to the soldiers?!"
"With such a commander, if I were under his command, I would definitely not be afraid of life and death! No wonder he can beat the and pee......"
This process took place three times, and more than 2,000 fallen soldiers were placed under their tombstones. Of course, this is only a unified ceremony for now, and if the family of one of them insists on recovering the remains, they will still be sent home. However, the feng shui outside the filial piety tomb that is stained with dragon qi should not be rejected in the Ming Dynasty.
When the last coffin landed, all the Ming soldiers turned to the tombstone and saluted, and at the same time, there was a roar of cannons from the direction of Nanjing—one, two, three......
Someone counted carefully, a total of seven seven and forty-nine sounds.
Then, Zhu Linmiao turned to everyone and said loudly: "These cannon sounds are not only to see off the martyrs, but also the beginning of my Daming's recovery of Nanjing!" ”
I don't know who was the first to shout, "Conquer Nanjing!" ”
The surrounding voices immediately rang out, "Restore my southern capital!" ”
"Kill all the Tartars!"
As if to respond to them, a dense roar of artillery was immediately heard in the distance. However, unlike the rhythmic "salute" just now, it was completely a maximum density of bombardment.
Outside the city of Nanjing, the Ming army's position was endless, and the spirit of slaughter rose to the sky.
Dozens of artillery pieces were concentrated outside the Zhonghua Gate on the south side, and they bombarded Nanjing City indiscriminately. However, even the most powerful twelve-pounder cannonballs could only crumble down on the city walls, and many of the cannonballs jumped directly into the air under the action of the sloping walls.
