Chapter 149: Jingnan Palace
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Wang [Fu] Chen shouted violently, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and killing into the crowd of Qing troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sun Yuanzhang was stabbed to death by Wang [Fu] Chen, and several Ming soldiers saw Sun Yuanzhang wearing bright armor and wearing a bright helmet, and knew that this was a Qing army general, so a personal soldier squatted down, cut off Sun Yuanzhang's head, and tied it around his waist. Anyway, when the merit is calculated, it is the king's [auxiliary] ministers.
In front, a retired veteran of the Eight Banners in his sixties with gray hair opened his bow and shot an arrow.
The spear in the hand of Wang [Fu] Chen shook, and the veteran of the Eight Banners shot five or six arrows in the fierce battle just now, because of old age and weakness, he no longer had much strength, this arrow was already weak and weak, and was gently flicked by Wang [Fu] Chen, and the feather arrow fell to the ground.
The veteran of the Eight Banners sighed: "If it were me back then, this arrow would not kill the thief, but also hurt the thief!" After saying that, the veteran of the Eight Banners dropped his bow and arrows, drew his sword and rushed towards Wang [Fu] Chen.
It's just that these veterans of the Eight Banners are old and weak, and the knife is weak in their hands.
Wang [Fu] Chen did not pity the veterans of the Eight Banners because they were old, but they shot them head-on and overturned the veterans of the Eight Banners.
"Marfa (Manchu Grandpa), Marfa!" An eleven or twelve-year-old flag man boy cried and cried on the Eight Banners veteran in a pool of blood.
Although Wang [Fu] Chen is not a good person, but he is not the kind of person who has lost his conscience, he follows Wu Sangui all the year round, Wu Sangui does not like to slaughter the city, so Wang [Fu] Chen's personality is a bit like Wu Sangui, when he saw a banner man child, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know whether this shot should be stabbed.
"Han dog! Give me back my Marfa life! The banner man suddenly picked up a machete from the ground and slashed at the king's ministers.
After all, it was a minor teenager, and one of the two personal soldiers of Wang [Fu] Chen blocked it, and the other one slashed it with a knife. Just when the young man with eight banners was stopped and cut in two, Wang [Fu] Chen just turned around and saw a hateful look in the eyes of this young man with eight banners, which was a kind of bitter hatred, and Wang [Fu] Chen only felt creepy.
"Kill! Flag people and teenagers are killed! As long as it's a man, kill them all! The king suddenly roared like crazy.
"No!" Several pro-soldiers bowed their hands.
"Whoosh" A banner woman stretched her bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow, which hit a personal soldier. But it was a woman's hunting bow, short in range and with little power, and the arrow was pierced into the body of the thickly armored soldier, who was hardly injured.
But as long as there is a weapon in his hand, the king [auxiliary] minister will not be merciful.
Wang [Fu] Chen stabbed the banner woman in the abdomen, and the woman screamed and slowly fell.
Looking at the resentful eyes of the banner woman before she died, Wang [Fu] Chen said: "This must be a real Tartar woman, why does she look so ugly?" ā
This banner woman is indeed ugly, her face is yellow and black, her mouth is full of buckteeth, and her cheekbones are protruding, if she is not wearing women's clothes, it is really impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
There are few pure-bred women in the Eight Banners who can be seen, and some good-looking ones are mixed with Han blood. And those with Han blood are either upgraded by carrying the flag in their coats, or they are born to concubines in the Eight Banners.
In the direction of the city gate, the Ming army rushed into the city gate. The city gates, which had long been loosened by shells, could not withstand the impact and were soon knocked to the ground. However, the city gate hole was blocked by sandbags and other heavy objects, and the Ming army still could not rush in. The auxiliaries could only wield their tools to clear the heavy objects blocking the city gates.
The counterattack of the Qing army at the head of the city has weakened, and under the fire of the muskets and bows and arrows of the Ming army under the city, the Qing soldiers and Minzhuang guarding the city gate tower suffered heavy casualties, and the fire oil cans and lime bottles dropped are getting fewer and fewer.
A fire oil tank that was accidentally dropped, just ignited the fire, and was extinguished by more Ming army auxiliaries with sand. Because the defenders at the head of the city were severely weakened, there were not many oil tanks thrown at them, and they could not pose much of a threat to the city. The Qing soldiers at the head of the city threw a canister of fire oil, burning an auxiliary soldier, and they themselves were immediately killed by the feather arrow projectiles fired from the city.
The auxiliaries dug up the sandbags that blocked the city gate, only to find that there were large stones inside.
"Explode!" Luo Xiang gave the order without hesitation.
It would take a long time to move away the big stones, and it would make the city gates that the Ming army had broken through at great cost useless. And blowing up the gates is the best way to do it.
The auxiliaries successively transported more than a dozen large boxes full of gunpowder in, and a total of more than 500 catties of gunpowder were placed in the city gate cave. The demoman in charge of the blast picks up the fuse, lights the incense, and quickly evacuates. A few minutes later, an earth-shattering explosion leveled the entire gatehouse in the billowing smoke.
"Kill!" Hordes of Ming troops rushed into the city shouting.
Wang [Fu] Chen's movements were much faster than the Ming army attacking in the direction of the city gate, and after he led his own soldiers to clean up a section of the Qing army at the head of the city, he jumped directly off the city wall and rushed into the city to kill.
Wu Liuyi, the prefect of Fuzhou, fled into the palace of the king of Jingnan and prepared to hang himself. Who knew that the king's [auxiliary] ministers had actually entered the palace.
In fact, after Wang [Fu] Chen invaded Mancheng, the first target he set his sights on was Jingnan Palace. He knew that although Geng Jimao fled Fuzhou with his family and took away the gold and silver treasures, the Jingnan Wangfu had a great business, and there were still many small maids and maids left in the palace, and there were also many treasures left in the palace.
Wu Liuyi was about to commit suicide, but was discovered by a Ming soldier.
"Here! There's a Tartar official! "The soldier called for the king's [auxiliary] ministers.
As a result, needless to say, I also know that Wu Liuyi attempted suicide and was rescued from the roof beam.
However, Wang [Fu] Chen was not interested in Wu Liuyi, so he asked Wu Liuyi to be sent to the Ming army camp outside the city, and he took his own soldiers to search for valuable things in the palace.
"Beauty!" Several soldiers chased after the maids in the palace.
Although all the maids who were left behind were rough maids, and the really beautiful personal maids had already followed the people of the palace to Zhangzhou, but in the eyes of those big-headed soldiers, the rough maids had also become immortals. Those who can enter the palace will not be too ugly. Although those rough maids are mediocre and stout, they are quite upright, much better than ordinary women outside. As for the lack of foot binding, it is all Tianzu, and it doesn't matter to the little soldiers.
"Beauty, don't run!" A pro-soldier caught up with a little maid and hugged her.
A few other soldiers were chasing a few guys. After being overtaken, the little guys fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
"Don't kill us." A young man with clear eyebrows knelt on the ground and cried.
Several pro-soldiers glanced at each other, and saw that these little guys were pitiful, and they did not kill them, but tied them up and sent them to the prisoner of war camp with the soldiers who came in behind.
None of the maids in the palace ran away, and all fell into the hands of the Ming army. However, after the people of Wang [Fu] surrendered to the Ming army, the military discipline was much better, at least they would not behave recklessly. These maids are lucky to fall into their hands, and the officers or soldiers who have become married can at least give the maids a concubine status; If you don't get married, you can take it back as a daughter-in-law.
"I found a lot of women, all of them are not bad, much better than outside!" One of the soldiers smiled.
"Much better than the woman with the Eight Flags! Those Miss Gege who are full of eight flags can't be seen. Another soldier said with a smile.
At this moment, someone shouted, "What kind of woman?" Hurry up and help find something! ā
The palace of Jingnan was full of Ming soldiers, most of whom were brought in by the king's [auxiliary] ministers, who rummaged through boxes and cabinets in search of useful things. The fine and soft gold and silver in the palace have been taken away, but there are still many good things left, such as mahogany furniture, various vases, calligraphy and paintings, bronze and silverware, etc., have been searched.
"Dig! Dig well for Lao Tzu! There must be gold and silver treasures hidden underground! The king roared loudly. He knew that the Jingnan royal family had a great cause, and it would definitely be impossible to take away all the gold and silver treasures, and many would be buried in the ground.
Wu Liuyi was sent to the Ming army camp outside the city and arrived in front of Wang Xinyu.
"Wu Liuyi?" Wang Xinyu muttered the name. He is very familiar with this name, and in his previous life, he read this character in the novel of a certain hero. But that was the nine-gate admiral of the Beijing Division, how did he become the prefect of Fuzhou? No, the prefect is a civil official, and the admiral is a military general, why did the civil official later be promoted to a military general?
Wang Xinyu couldn't figure out this problem.
"Kill if you want to! Less verbose! "This Wu Liuyi is quite tough.
Wang Xinyu sneered and said, "It's easy to kill you!" But your family, all the men are killed, and what about the women? All sent to our Workshop Division. Think for yourself, surrender or resist to the end! ā
This Wu Liuyi's reputation in Fuzhou is not bad, the case is fair, he did not oppress the people, and his reputation is good. If it weren't for this, Wang Xinyu would have killed all the men in his family and all the women to the teaching department.
Wu Liuyi listened to Wang Xinyu's words, and trembled all over, and his mind was the heroism of scolding the thief to death, the reputation of being loyal to the master of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the faces of his wife and children for a while, and the scene of his daughter and sister being ravaged by a group of soldiers and rough people appeared in his mind, and there was a young child being hacked to death.
After hesitating for a long time, the idea of keeping his family alive finally prevailed.
"I, I, I, Wu Liuyi, I am willing to surrender!" Wu Liuyi knelt on the ground and finally chose to surrender.
But in the city, some other hardcore traitors and corrupt officials did not end so well.
Wang Xinyu asked Wu Liuyi, who had surrendered, and a group of Qing court officials who had surrendered to screen them, and a group of hardcore traitors in the city were excavated. In addition to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there are also many gentry who are determined to do things for the Qing court.
For those hardcore traitors, Wang Xinyu gave an order to slaughter.
"There's nothing to say about this, before the siege of the city, this domain has already given you a chance to surrender! If you don't surrender, kill the whole family! Wang Xinyu looked coldly at the Manchu officials and gentry who were kneeling on the ground and crying.
The order to kill was issued, and these corrupt officials, hardcore traitors, and gentry who worked for the tiger were all dragged out of the city to have their heads cut off, not to mention, all the men in their families were killed, even the infant boy was killed. And all the women in the family, middle-aged women and above, were killed, and the young women and little girls were all sent to the Faculty Division.
"Marshal, our people have begun to slaughter the bannermen in the city." Luo Xiang came to report.
"This time we are attacking the city, and the resistance of the banner people is too fierce! They even got old men, women and children! Cause us a certain amount of trouble for the siege. Now the brethren are going to take revenge, and we can't stop it. Wang Xinyu said.
The city was full of Ming officers and soldiers who were frantically retaliating.
In the siege battle just now, whether it was the retired veterans of the Eight Banners, or the women and children of the bannermen, they all went to the city to resist, and as a result, the auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army who did not wear armor suffered heavy casualties. And those auxiliaries were originally prisoners of the Qing army in the green camp, and after joining the Ming army, Wang Xinyu absolutely forbade them to do anything to the ordinary Han people. But when they do it to hardcore traitors and flag men, there is not so much psychological pressure. In addition, the losses in the siege just now were too great, and these auxiliaries vented the hatred in their hearts at once.
The city was in flames, the ground was littered with dead bodies, and the auxiliaries were bloodied in the city.
The Ming soldiers broke into the house of the banner man and slashed him to death when they saw him, whether it was an adult, an old man or a child. When you see a woman, you deal with it directly, regardless of whether it is beautiful or ugly.
To tell the truth, most of the banner women are ugly, but the auxiliaries who are full of hatred don't care so much at all, and rush up when they see women.
Some good-looking flag women are even worse. The crazy auxiliaries surrounded him, venting the hatred in their hearts to the fullest. At this time, these people turned their hatred into xing on these women. And those ugly ones, after being dealt with, will be hacked to death.
"Slaughter the city, this is the second time to slaughter the city, you didn't give the order to slaughter the city this time, they slaughtered the city themselves." Wang Yuyou stepped forward and arched his hand.
Wang Xinyu nodded: "Yes!" This time, the clan did not give the order to slaughter the city, but the resistance of the bannermen this time was too fierce! We can't control this kind of thing, so let them slaughter the city. ā
"By the way, do you give an order in the future, if you don't resist like this, we won't slaughter the city?" Wang Yuyou asked.
Wang Xinyu showed a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "At least in Guangzhou City, we can't be soft!" When Guangzhou is breached, it will be necessary to punish some people in the city! Don't forget, how they slaughtered the city in Guangzhou back then! ā
In fact, most of the banner people in Guangzhou came to Guangzhou later, and it was Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao who really slaughtered Guangzhou.
The massacre in Fuzhou's city lasted for three days and three nights, all the banner men were killed, not even the babies were spared, after the women were destroyed, the survivors were also sent to the Jiaosi workshop, and some of the ones that were too ugly were sent to work as coolies and sent to Nanyang to work like men.
Most of the gentry near Fuzhou were in the city of Fuzhou, but Fuzhou was breached, and none of these gentry ran away, most of them were exterminated, and their property and land fell into the hands of Wang Xinyu. And those who were willing to cooperate with the Ming army, or who had suffered from the Qing court, survived. (To be continued.) )
