Chapter 350: The Eight Emperors and Merchants are destroyed
Chernyaev and more than 200 Russian troops were killed, and more than 100 Russian troops were captured. More than 400 Cossacks and more than 200 mercenaries from other countries also resisted after hearing the gunfire in the city, but they were abandoned by the Russian army and completely lost their fighting spirit, and after more than 100 people were killed and wounded, the rest were all captured.
Compared with the recalcitrant Russians, the eight Jin merchants and those foreign merchants were arrested unsuspectingly. After the Russians made trouble, the Jin Shangba family thought they were okay and didn't make any moves.
In a courtyard of the imperial city that temporarily served as Fan's mansion, Fan Yuxin, Fan Yufu, Fan Yubin and others were sitting in the hall, discussing the way out.
"Big brother and second brother, the Manchu court can't stop it, we should think of a way out! If we fall into the hands of Ming Gou, our brothers will not end well! Fan Yubin suggested, "We should disguise ourselves as soon as possible and find a chance to sneak out." I'm afraid the emperor will decide to surrender! We need to figure it out as soon as possible. ”
Fan Yufu sighed: "If we knew that Minggou would come so quickly, we shouldn't have come back from the Rakshasa Country!" If we don't come back, there's nothing going on now! ”
"Hey!" Fan Yuxin also said dejectedly, "I really didn't expect that Minggou is already so powerful, even the Rakshasa people can't resist Minggou!" They're still united with the Mongolian dogs! If we fall into their hands, we will have no choice but to die. ”
Fan Yubin said angrily: "What's the use of talking about this now? Hurry up and find a way to disguise yourself and slip away from behind. If you can't escape, find a place to hide, and find a chance to escape again! ”
Just as the five brothers of the Fan family were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside.
"What are you doing here?" The Fan family guards at the door saw more than a hundred Qing soldiers who suddenly broke in. These more than 100 Qing soldiers are all well-dressed in golden iron core cotton armor, wearing high lightning rod helmets, and they look like the Son of Heaven's own soldiers. Leading the team were several Ouchi guards wearing yellow coats and red tasseled hats.
"Arrest the important criminals of the court! Idle people, etc., the blocker is dead! The first Ouchi guard, dressed in a yellow coat, shouted.
The guards of the Fan Mansion at the gate were taken aback, and one of them turned his head and ran towards the inner courtyard, shouting in his mouth: "Master, something is wrong!" The court has sent someone to arrest you! Run! ”
The other five Fan Mansion guards stepped forward desperately and tried to stop the Qing soldiers.
The Ouchi guard at the head sneered, raised his hand, and a flying knife flew out in a whirl, piercing into the back of the Fan Mansion guard who was running.
The four Ouchi guards who followed closely behind pulled out their swords at the same time, although those Fan Mansion guards were also masters, they couldn't beat the Ouchi guards at all, not to mention that there were also the Praetorian Guards who came up from the encirclement, and they were stabbing the Fan Mansion guards with spears. In the blink of an eye, all five Fan Mansion guards fell in a pool of blood.
"Up! If there is any obstacle, there will be no forgiveness! The Ouchi guard at the head yelled.
The Ouchi guards in yellow coats and the Praetorian Guard sergeants in golden and fine armor rushed into the courtyard, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped in the courtyard, and the cries and screams resounded.
Hearing the voice outside, Fan Yubin was shocked: "Oh no! It seems that the imperial court will not only surrender to Minggou, but also hand us over as a vote! ”
"It's over, it's over!" Fan Yuxin lamented again and again.
Fan Yufu suddenly kicked over the stool: "Anyway, it's death horizontally and vertically, since the Tartars want us to die, it's better for us to take up arms and resist, and pull a few Tartars on our backs when we die!" ”
"That's right! If you are caught by them and sent to Minggou, you will die! We fought with them! The clansmen, housekeepers, and family members of the Fan family shouted one after another.
In the courtyard, it has become a bloody killing field, and some of the Fan family's subordinates, servants and maids who ran relatively slowly were cut down in a pool of blood by the Qing soldiers because they accidentally blocked the road of the Ouchi guards and the Qing soldiers. There are also a few bold servants of the Fan family who picked up wooden sticks and knives to resist, after all, the Fan family has been rampant for many years from Zhangjiakou to Guanwai since the Wanli Apocalypse, and it is not that they have never seen blood. However, those servants were no match at all, and they were cut down in the blink of an eye.
Just when the Ouchi guards rushed inside with the Praetorian Guards, dozens of archers suddenly drilled out of the roof, and a row of random arrows shot down, and several Ouchi guards dodged, but some of the Praetorian Guards behind failed to dodge, and many people were shot by arrows, but the thick armor on their bodies protected them, except for a few unlucky guys, most of them were safe and sound.
The Qing soldiers opened their bows and arrows and counterattacked to the roof, rows of arrows flew up, and the desperately resisting Fan family Ding was shot into hedgehogs one after another and rolled down from the roof.
Seeing that there was a loss on his side, the Ouchi guard at the head shouted, "Rush in!" Slaughter all the men! Not a single one to stay! The woman stayed and dedicated to the Ming army! ”
The Qing army rushed into the courtyard, and from time to time the Fan family killed them, either shooting a cold arrow, or shooting a shot with a fire gun, or suddenly jumping out and cutting down a Qing soldier, and the Qing soldiers who rushed into the courtyard also suffered certain losses. After all, the Fan family took the road from Zhangjiakou to Shengjing back then, and it was a head-killing business, and they also dealt with horse thieves and Mongolians along the way.
It's just that the number of the Fan family is too small, and they can't resist the Qing soldiers at all, and they are cut down one after another.
Hearing the constant screams outside, Fan Yufu was desolate in his heart: "I can't imagine that our Fan family has made great contributions to the imperial court, and even lost the main force of the Fan family's escort team in Shandong, but today it ended up like this." ”
Fan Yuxin said: "If it weren't for sending the guards to Shandong to help the Tartars defend the city, if our Fan family's guards are still there, the Tartars will do it to us today, and we have to think about it!" Now it's good! ”
In order to show their loyalty, the Fan family sent their escort to Shandong to help the Qing army reach the Ming army. As a result, the Fan family's escort and the other seven major guards were annihilated by the Ming army. There are not many remaining guards in Fan's house today. But Fan Yuxin didn't expect that even if the Fan family escort was still there, the Qing army would not dare to do it themselves, and would put the Ming army into the city to deal with the Fan family.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the Fan family members and guards who resisted were killed.
"Bang" saw several Ouchi guards rushing in, Fan Yuxin pulled out a Russian-made handcuff and aimed at a Ouchi guard wearing a yellow jacket and pulled the trigger.
When the guard saw the short gun, he dodged, and the bullet grazed him, but it hit a Qing soldier in the back.
The Qing soldiers and guards rushed into the hall, the housekeeper of the Fan family was in a different place, and four of the five brothers of the Fan family were killed, leaving only Fan Yubin who was cut and not killed.
Just as a Qing soldier was about to raise his knife and cut off Fan Yubin's head, he heard a guard shouting: "Slow! Leave one alive! ”
