Chapter 285 Capture Jiangning
Fan Shiyi, with gray hair, was standing on the battle platform with a knife in his hand. The shouts of killing could be heard in the distance, but he had become a little dazed before his eyes. Only by stopping him did he prevent him from falling off the stage.

"How's the East Gate?"

The guards on the side didn't hear it very clearly, but someone had already gone to the east to investigate, but there was no reply for a while, but Fan Shiyi's heart was already full of uneasiness, and the expression on his face Wrinkles become deeper and deeper.

However, it didn't take long for several guards to crawl around, with a look of panic on their faces. They pointed at the east gate with despair in their eyes, which made Fan Shiyi a little uneasy.

"It's not good, my lord. Wu Cunli surrendered to the enemy, the east gate has been lost, and now the Fuhan army. The Fuhan army has entered the city!"

Fan Shiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he fell into the boundless abyss. His face turned blue and white instantly, and a desperate lament came out of his mouth.

"Wu Cunli mistaken me"

Hearing the shouts of killing getting closer, Fan Shiyi spat out a mouthful of blood, and he just fell down on the spot.

In fact, there was no trace of Wu Cunli's rebellion, at least Fan Shiyi still underestimated the other party. He forced Wu Cunli and the gentry in Jiangnan to donate money and materials, and it is reasonable to be backlashed now.It's just that in Fan Shiyi's heart, he always underestimated his determination to see Wu Cunli.

Seeing Fan Shiyi, the governor of Liangjiang, fell down, the other guards panicked. They gathered around one by one, fearing that Fan Shiyi would die of anger, and they would have nothing to do if they lost their backbone.

Fan Shiyi still had some perception ability. He tried hard to raise his hand, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only mutter and spit out a few weak words.

"fast"

The guards couldn't understand what Fan Shiyi was saying, so they had no choice but to surround the place first, and sent someone to call the doctor over.At this time, the distance between the Fuhan Army and Jiangning City became closer and closer, and the shouts of killing became clearer and clearer.

It's just that seeing that the current situation has completely collapsed, several guards quietly took a few steps back. They looked at each other, and then drew their knives and made a surprise attack, killing all the guards who were loyal to Fan Shiyi on the spot. Death, corpses and blood became the last scene Fan Shiyi saw before he fainted.

A guard covered in blood rushed up to Fan Shiyi with a knife, and was about to chop off the old thief's head, but was stopped by one of them. He looked at Fan Shiyi who had fainted, his face pale. Show a look of surprise.

"Don't take advantage of this old thief. Do you know that this old thief is a descendant of Fan Wencheng. If we hand him over to the Fuhan Army, not only will he not die, but there may be a very generous reward!"

The others nodded when they heard it. Before the Fuhan army attacked the city, the Fuhan army had spread many small leaflets in the city, which not only included some relevant policies of the Fuhan army, but also had instructions for the officials of the Qing court. Rewards were offered, for example, Fan Shiyi, who was the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, had a reward of as much as 1 taels.

Of course, apart from Fan Shiyi, other officials of the Qing government at all levels also clearly marked their prices. Not to mention that these people were domineering in the past, but now they have really become big fat sheep in the eyes of many people, and they are regarded by many soldiers of the Qing army. coveted.

The news that Fan Shiyi was captured alive by the guards quickly spread throughout the battlefield. When the soldiers of the Qing army heard such news, they lost their fear and didn't want to continue to suffer such huge casualties. One after another began to flee towards the back, and many soldiers of the Qing army put down their weapons directly and chose to surrender.

When a battle became like this, everything became a joke. The Fuhan army took over the entire Jiangning City bit by bit, and took over batch after batch of captive soldiers who surrendered. Many people didn't even have bayonets. Seeing red, this battle is over.

The whole city in Jiangning city was crying loudly at this time, the bannermen locked the thin city gates tightly, but they had no strength to resist. The so-called Eight Banners Army with more than 1 people has now become the first to lay down their weapons. They are different from the Eight Banners from the north, and they can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.These Eight Banners, who had been at ease in the south for too long, had already been completely corrupted. They knelt on the ground, looking at the bayonets of the Fuhan army, and wailed in despair.

Some of these people are old men over 40 years old or even over 50 years old. They used to be the bosses of Jiangning City, and they were envied by everyone in the city. No matter how shabby life is, it takes a lot of effort to save face.

It's just that at this moment, they knelt on the ground and raised their hands high. This is the surrender posture that the Fuhan Army asked them to do.Only by kneeling and raising their hands can they continue to live. Those who are unwilling, or those who cannot do it, have either died on the front line or are now pierced by bayonets.

After the war, these people, together with the soldiers of the green battalion, will be sent to the coolie camp to do hard labor. Some need to dig mines, and some need to build roads. Afterwards, he can be released and become a normal person, but the soldiers of the Eight Banners can only continue to work.

The sun is gradually moving to the west, but Jiangning City can basically be concluded that it has come to an end. This makes Ning Yu quite excited. Anyway, there are tens of thousands of troops in Jiangning City. He never thought that these tens of thousands of people are like paper , was broken through by the Fuhan army, and took Jiangning directly in just one battle.

Of course, there are also some other factors in this, such as the heart attack strategy that the Fu Han army started at the siege of the city, and the governor Fan Shiyi's persecution of the gentry in Jiangning City was too tight, so that the internal hearts were divided, and Wu Cunli appeared. result of rebellion.The combination of these reasons has led to the current situation, where no one wants to fight and everyone wants to surrender.

Seeing the banner of the Fuhan Army erected on Jiangning City, Cheng Ming, the commander of the Third Division, knelt down on the ground at once, his eyes were already red, he slapped himself twice hard, and wept with joy.

"Great governor, we've defeated half of the world!"

"We have finally waited for this day!"

It has been almost two years since the Fuhan Army started its army in 59 years of Kangxi, and it has been almost two years now. In the past two years, everyone has been tense. They can't understand the map, but they also know that only by laying down more places , the Fuhan army will not die, and they will live forever.

Whether it is coercion or temptation, understanding of righteousness, or even opportunism, the Fuhan Army has grown from more than 1000 people at the beginning to today's [-] troops across several provinces, and it only took two years.

All of this is like a dream, and Cheng Ming, the old army leader, couldn't help but shed tears for it. Cheng Zhien and Dong Ce also had complicated expressions on their faces. Jiangning City, we finally took it down.

Ning Yu's face was extremely calm, but his hands were trembling slightly. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We have won, and we will send someone back to Wuchang as soon as possible. Jiang Ning has been conquered. The follow-up matters are still for the King of Chu to decide." .”

The so-called decision is naturally about proclaiming the emperor and founding a country.This point Ning Yu cannot surpass, whether it is from the perspective of a son or a courtier, it is impossible for him to surpass Ning Zhongyuan.

Of course, Ning Yu will not worry about his future status. Many people think that Ning Yu wants to be Li Shimin, but in fact, his status is much higher and more stable than Li Shimin. There is no need to do that. bloody.

First of all, in terms of patriarchal clan, Ning Yu is the eldest son of Ning Zhongyuan, and he is also the only son at present. No threat to Ning Yu.

Secondly, from the current actual situation, Ning Yu has more influence on the army than Li Shimin. Although Ning Zhongyuan led the people to fight the Wuchang Battle at the beginning, Ning Yu himself began to make suggestions at that time. Later, he fought against Huangzhou and Daye, so that he conquered Huguang all the way, took Jiangxi, and the decisive battle of Anqing.

Under such circumstances, most of the middle and high-level members of the Fuhan Army are currently brought out by Ning Yu, just like the previous Young Eagle Battalion. In the current Fuhan Army, the Old Young Eagle Battalion is almost Occupy important positions in each main division.Even the old Hanyang camp who followed Ning Zhongyuan at the beginning had a relatively weaker army.

Because of this, no one in the Fuhan army dared to question Ning Yu's status, and no one dared to use his brains a little bit, because the facts are obvious, even if Wuchang is gone, Ning Yu can turn around and create another Wuchang now.

Therefore, Ning Yu tactfully left all these opportunities to show off to Ning Zhongyuan. This move will not affect his prestige, but can better establish his own position. After all, in this era, the most simple Chinese Values ​​are loyalty and filial piety.

Since the Fuhan Army was under the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming at the beginning, it did not emphasize loyalty.So at this time, filial piety can play a great role and influence. Ning Yu will not take violent methods like Li Er's unless it is a last resort.

It is one thing to fight the world, but another thing to sit in the world.In fact, the current Ning Yu has changed his thinking to sitting in the world. After all, the current Qing Dynasty has been unable to threaten the current Fuhan Army in a short period of time. The other so-called White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yigui obviously can only settle down .

After sunset, the gunfire in Jiangning City gradually stopped. At this stage, the Fuhan Army only needed to clean up the remaining routs in the city to avoid unnecessary casualties to the people.

Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the city and prevent routs from attacking at night, Ning Yu did not enter the city in a hurry, but still stationed outside the city and waited until dawn tomorrow before entering the city. Form a neat team, the shock to the people will be stronger, and it will be more conducive to the restoration of the rule of the Han army.

After all, seeing so many soldiers with flintlock guns entering the city, the big guys knew what was going on, and even those who wanted to cause sabotage might have to weigh it in their hearts.The common people saw it, and they would not be too resistant to the arrival of the Fuhan army.

Dong Ce rushed over excitedly, followed by a group of soldiers from the Fuhan army, who were also pressing down on several ragged Qing troops.

"Governor, this is the guard next to Fan Shiyi. They tied up Fan Shiyi and offered it to the Governor." Dong Ce said with a look of contempt on his face, because on the battlefield, It is a serious crime for the guards to betray the coach, and it is also very despised.

Ning Yu didn't have such a concept. After all, there is only one life, so it's normal to think for yourself, and said softly, "Bring Fan Shiyi up here for me to see."

Dong Ce had a strange expression on his face, "When we saw Fan Shiyi, he had passed out, why don't we just kill him."

Ning Yu sneered, "Hmph, it's cheap to kill him like this now, tell the military medical office, we must save him, and after he comes back alive, he will be executed at a later date."

hiss.
Dong Ce gasped, this was the first time he saw Ning Yu being so cruel to a person, even to the Eight Banners soldiers, he was only punished for a lifetime of hard labor, that's all. Those who can't be absorbed are just doing hard labor, and they have never been so cruel.

"Hmph, that's all for the Eight Banners, everyone is their own master. But this gang of traitors deserves to be killed. It's a pity that Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou died early. It's really cheap for them! When the capital is taken down in the future, I will definitely dig out Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou and others to destroy their bones and ashes!"

Ning Yu had a murderous look on his face. What he hated most in the past was not foreign enemies, but internal traitors. He had nothing to say about foreign enemies, just kill them.But for traitors, it is difficult to vent their anger just by killing them.

"The governor is right. How many years have these people caused my Han family to fall, and how many people have died? Let the old thief die like this. It is really cheap for them. In the future, we will have to settle accounts one by one!"

Dong Ce also had a look of resentment on his face. They had already received a lot of education when they were in the Young Eagle Camp, and they couldn't understand what these traitors did, and they felt blocked in their hearts. It makes people unhappy.

However, Ning Yu's heart moved. He thought that in later generations, Emperor Qianlong had issued an edict to compile "The Biography of Two Officials in the Imperial History", which is often called "Biography of Two Officials". At that time, some Han Chen's faces were ruthlessly stripped off, and it could even be said that they directly rode on those Han Chen's faces to shit.

The content of this wonderful book is very simple. It records all the traitors who defected to Manchuria when it entered the customs.Hong Chengchou, Li Yongfang, Kong Youde, Wu Liuqi, Feng Quan, Zu Kefa, Shang Kexi, Liu Fangming, Li Guoying, Zhang Yong, Zhu Shichang, Bao Chengxian, Wang Shixuan, Zu Dashou, Zu Zerun and others are all listed in the first edition.

There are also people like Sun Degong, Ma Guangyuan, Shen Zhixiang, Xie Sheng, Jin Zhijun, Hu Shian, Tian Weijia, Shen Weibing, Fang Kezhuang, Liu Hanru, Huang Tuan, Gao Douguang, Wang Yongji, Wang Duo, Wang Wudang, Zuo Menggeng, Xu Dingguo , Zhao Zhilong, Liang Yungou, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Yingbin, Miao Xuntu, Zhang Fengxiang, Wu Weiye, Xia Chengde, Feng Quan, Li Ruolin, Xie Qiguang, Sun Zhixie and others are all listed in the second edition. .

In particular, Hong Chengchou, who was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was included in it, which added a bit of irony. Even Qianlong was still criticizing these demoted officials and generals, claiming that these people "had to be hired to calm people's hearts." ", but these people "after being in office again, they only serve high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and they have made no achievements."

Thinking of this, Ning Yu had an idea in his heart, that is to compile this "Biography of Second Official" in advance!
　When writing this chapter, Qingkong was also full of emotions in his heart. The so-called stigma is nothing more than this.
