Chapter 1191: Attack from the north to the south
On 10 July, the Second Brigade of the Third Town of the New Second Army, under the leadership of Luo Lun, captured Shengjing, and then restored the old name of the city to "Shenyang". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the siege of Shenyang, all the women were brought back to the camp and placed separately for future distribution. More than 1,400 old, weak, young and strong people were driven to the Hunhe River to kill, cut off the heads and pile up, in order to worship the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers who died bravely in the battle of the Hunhe River.
The Korean soldiers and horses who crossed the Yalu River from Yiju, Changcheng and other places successively conquered Manchurian cities such as Hetuala, Fushun, and Ningguta, killing more than 480 Manchu soldiers and capturing more than 1,000 female dependents. Sixty percent of the looted treasures were handed over, and the rest was distributed by the North Korean army itself. Horses, weapons, armor, food and other items were uniformly inventoried by the allied forces of the Ming Dynasty, and the Korean army was not allowed to hide them privately.
After the city of Shenyang was broken, the Taiping army sent a message to the foreign departments, instructing them to surrender to the Taiping army within a month, and to donate the roster for the army to requisition. If there is any disobedience, it will be regarded as the remnants of Manchuria.
Ningguta's deputy capital Alamu led the remnants of more than 300 Manchurians to flee into the mountains, and Suna received the report and ordered the Luolun tribe and the Korean soldiers who occupied Shenyang to pursue each one. It was strictly ordered that Alamu must be captured and killed, and that not a single Manchurian escape.
Under the search and arrest of the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces, Alamu had no way to go to heaven and no way to go down, so he led the remnants out of the mountain and surrendered on the 24th. Later, he was deceived into a mountain recess in Xuantian Ridge and killed all of them.
Since the landing of the New Second Army in Lushun to Shenyang, Ningguta, Liaoyang and other places, the Taiping army has killed more than 1,400 Manchurian armored soldiers, more than 3,000 banners and ahas, more than 2,000 women, and more than 1,000 other ethnic groups.
The process of marching to Shanhaiguan was smooth, and it was exactly the same as the previous judgment of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the Manchurian Eight Banners outside the Guanguan had no power to resist, and the weak ones could even be said to be vulnerable. It was only with the elongation of the battle line that the Taiping army's grain and grass supply line became a thorny trouble. This trouble was not resolved until Zhou Shi led the New Third Army to occupy Juehua Island and landed behind the old Ningyuan City.
After that, the Ming army used Juehua Island as a transit and supply station for water and land transportation, and a large amount of grain transported from Korea was transported to Juehua Island by the naval division, ensuring the food supply of the Taiping Army's northern army.
On the fourth day after the occupation of Shenyang, Zhou Shixiang, who had just arrived on Juehua Island, learned the news that before going to the old Ningyuan City, he ordered Liang Shuanghu, a brigade school in the town of his own soldiers, to lead his troops to Shenyang.
Liang Shuanghu's mission is to dig graves.
Lao Nuhachi's Fuling was near Shenyang, and after Liang Shuanghu led his troops to arrive, with the cooperation of Luo Lun's troops stationed in Shenyang, he blew up the entrance to the Fuling underground palace. The corpse of the old slave was well preserved, and Liang Shuanghu personally dragged the corpse of the old slave out of the underground palace, and then whipped the corpse for 300 years, and the bones were crushed and ashes.
After the Yamen, the governor of Yongling, who buried the ancestors of the old slaves, learned that Shengjing had fallen and that Fuling had been dug up, the minister in charge of the palace was shocked and panicked, because he only had more than 300 Yongling garrisons and more than 600 bannermen living around Yongling, and there were no soldiers to fight at all.
There are no soldiers to fight, there are no soldiers to defend, every step of the Ming army is close to Yongling, Balbu is frightened, sitting in the chief yamen all day, I don't know when I believe in the Buddha, the Buddha beads will not leave my hand all day long, even the most beloved dog can not take care of, only hope that the Ming army will only go south, do not come to Yongling. But the more he worries, the more scared he becomes, and what should come is always coming.
Late at night on the 28th, the Yongling garrison guarding the mausoleum road at the foot of the mountain was surprised to find that a fire dragon was moving from far to near, towards the Yongling side.
Liang Shuanghu's troops and a battalion of Taiping troops from Luolun's troops routed the Yongling defenders at the foot of the mountain, killing and wounding more than 60 people, and the rest scattered and fled.
When Balbu heard that the Ming army had arrived at the mausoleum, the guards were scattered, and he was so frightened that he fled to the Xianling Mausoleum with a group of commanders, internal management leaders, pen stickers and bannermen, and wanted to escape to the Qiyun Mountains by night. Unexpectedly, the Ming army drove the prisoners who were familiar with the terrain of Yongling, and intercepted Balbu and his party on the trail, which was equal to Xianling.
In the early morning, the officials of Yongling, the garrison, and the bannermen were all captured and detained in the mausoleum outside the Sihong Gate. The former palace courtyard, Fangcheng, Baocheng and other Yongling buildings are guarded by troops, and troops are sent to guard within a radius of five miles, so that no one can get close, and if anyone dares to go to the former, they will all be killed.
After that, Liang Shuanghu immediately ordered his troops to start digging the tomb, and the first thing to dig was the tomb of the Tak Dynasty. The reason why the tomb was dug first was because the father of Nurhachi of the Tak lineage was the most abundant and large-scale burial in the mausoleum.
After digging all over Xianling for a day but not finding the entrance to the Xianling underground palace, Liang Shuanghu, who was anxious to complete the task, was anxious, because he had to quickly lead his troops to Shanhaiguan to participate in the battle of attacking Beijing, and he could not delay too long in Yongling.
"Pull Balbe, old puff over!"
Liang Shuanghu ordered someone to escort Balbu, the governor of Yongling, over.
"Old Tartar, Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to delay with you, you hurry up and tell the entrance to the Xianling Underground Palace, otherwise I will peel your skin alive!" Liang Shuanghu's face was hideous.
Balbu was so frightened that his face was sallow, his legs trembled, the Ming army came to Yongling, why it was clear, but he really didn't know where the entrance to the Xianling Underground Palace was. The craftsmen who knew the entrance to the underground palace were all killed, and the officials who presided over the construction of the tomb had already passed away.
Seeing that the Ming general had a fierce face, his eyes seemed to eat himself, especially the words that were skinned alive scared Balbu almost incontinent, he was really afraid, he was afraid in his heart, but he didn't dare to say that he didn't know, so he had to cry and say with a sad face: "The mausoleum area is so large, and the villain doesn't know the specific location of the tomb, the general should find some old banner people to ask, maybe they know!" ”
This reminded Liang Shuanghu, and he immediately sent people to find five or six old banner people, but under some interrogation, these old flag people did not know the entrance of the underground palace, Liang Shuanghu thought that they were unwilling to tell the secret, and at first they were kind to coax and persuade, but gradually lost patience, so they used whips and soldering irons. How can the old man withstand this toss, two died in less than half a day, and one of them really couldn't stand this crime, and said that there was a pen-paste grandfather on the mausoleum who participated in the construction of Yongling, maybe he knew the entrance to the underground palace.
Liang Shuanghu hurriedly sent someone to find out this sticker, fortunately, this person did not die in the chaos last night, and he was being detained on the mausoleum road outside the Dahongmen with the officials of Yongling.
"The villain is stunned, I've seen grandpa!"
Gerry was stunned, and he didn't know what the Han people were trying to do when they brought him in. Seeing that the chief steward was looking at him with his head drooping, and there were two old flag men lying beside him, he was even more panicked, his throat was swallowed, and the back of his head was also numb.
After some coercion and temptation, he was stunned and finally walked out of the entrance of the dungeon. Liang Shuanghu was overjoyed and made people excavate. After digging for a long time, the soldiers were so tired and sweaty that they collapsed to the ground, but the entrance did not move at all.
Liang Shuanghu was in a hurry, so he simply learned Fuling's method and blew up the tomb with gunpowder. Listening to only a few deafening loud noises of "boom, boom", the tomb of Xianling was suddenly blown open a big hole, and "whoosh" a stream of yin and mildew came out of the tomb, and the frightened troops retreated. When the mildew dissipated, I saw that it was gloomy inside, and I didn't know how deep it was.
More than 300 soldiers were driven into the tomb by the Taiping army, and they walked carefully in the tomb with great fear, and when they walked to the main tomb, they did not find the legendary trap or anything, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Several Manchurian soldiers boldly pushed open the door of the tomb, and the torches stretched out to shine in, and suddenly, the treasures piled up on a long table shone in the light of the fire, and next to the long main table, there were eight long tables of all sizes, all of which were piled up with treasures like a hill without exception.
Liang Shuanghu ordered the gold, silver and jewelry to be transported out of the underground palace, and then pulled the remains of Takshi out of the coffin, and the corpse was disassembled, which was miserable.
After all the jewels in the underground palace were transported out, when the soldiers were about to go out, an explosion suddenly sounded outside the tomb, and more than 300 Manchurian soldiers were buried alive in the underground palace.
After the tomb of Takshi was stolen, Liang Shuanghu ordered to dig up the tombs of Mengge Timur, Fuman, and Juechang'an. The excavation method is the same as before, and the entrance to the cemetery is opened with explosives. After the soldiers entered, they also carried the treasures in the tomb.
Just dug on the Yongling Tomb for four days, before the tombs of several direct ancestors of the old slave were excavated, Liang Shuanghu may have been addicted to tomb robbers, and even wanted to dig the tombs of Uncle Nurhachi and uncle, but I heard that there were no valuable burial goods in these tombs, so I dispelled the idea and did not start.
The corpses of the ancestors of the old slaves such as Jue Chang'an have long been decomposed, only the skulls and bones are still some hair, and the climate in the Xianling Tomb is the driester, so the corpse of the Takshi is still completely preserved, and it looks like a dry corpse at first glance, but unfortunately it was ordered to be dismantled by Liang Shuanghu.
After the New Third Army landed on Huadao, it easily captured the old Ningyuan City and Jinzhou, which had only more than 100 defenders, and completely sealed the western Liaoning corridor.
On 1 August, Zhou Shixiang personally supervised the formation, and the soldiers of the 1st Town and 4th Brigade of the New Second Army and the 2nd Town of the New Third Army successfully captured Shanhaiguan with the assistance of artillery.
At the same time, thousands of miles away at the new First Army station in Huai'an, Jiangsu, the army commander Wang Fuchen and the general town Qi Hao received a military order to go north. The task of the New First Army was to eliminate the defenders of Xuzhou, occupy Shandong and Tianjin, and encircle Beijing.
The New Fourth Army stationed in Anqing also received an order to go north to attack Henan, and then cross the river north into Zhili, and cooperate with the New First Army to attack Beijing.
On the eighth day of August, the new first army stormed Xuzhou, and in two days, it completely annihilated more than 4,000 enemies in Xuzhou. Two days later, the army commander Wang Fuchen personally led his troops to raid the Belle Tuntai Department from Shandong, fought fiercely for half a day, beheaded Tuntai, annihilated more than 2,400 Manchurian Eight Banners, and 1,500 people in the Han Army's Green Battalion.
On the 11th, Huang Wu, the governor of Shandong Province in the Qing Dynasty, was in Jinan anyway, thus announcing the recovery of Shandong. Half a month later, Huang Wu was killed by a child of the Zheng family.
Shandong fell, and the New First Army captured Tianjin non-stop. Shi Lang, the governor of Tianjin, fled to Beijing.
In September, the first flag of the Taiping Army appeared under the city of Beijing.
The city is completely shrouded in the clouds of doom.
