The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 734 Capture Zhang Cunren Alive

Zhang Cunren had already been hacked and stabbed more than ten times.

Fortunately, the strong armor on his body provided protection, and because of the narrow field, the opponent's knife was much weaker and did not give Zhang Cunren a fatal blow.

When being squeezed into a ball, Zhang Cunren found that both hands were controlled by the opponent, and Qi Dao was caught by someone. He had no choice but to yell:

"Brothers misunderstood, I didn't even think about working for Jian slaves, I was ready to surrender a long time ago, don't be so tricky."

The Baizong who took the lead in attacking was killed by Zhang Cunren's servant, and he cursed angrily:
"Fart your mother, so many brothers can testify that we captured you alive, this dog slave, and even wanted to get involved in the good thing of voluntarily surrendering, and make your dream of a thousand years!"

Zhang Cunren was furious when he saw that Bai Zong wanted to kill him. He tried his best to pull out his arm that was held down by a Han soldier, and punched him with all his strength.

Because he was too close, and being squeezed and unable to dodge, Mr. Bai's nose was hit hard, and blood flowed out immediately.

Seeing that Zhang Cunren, who was being squeezed, was not being honest, several Han soldiers greeted him with old punches, and beat Zhang Cunren into a pig's head until he didn't even know his mother.

Compared with Zhang Cunren, his good friend Jiang Xin was much more powerful. As soon as the Ming army's cannon fired, he and more than two dozen servants clung to the trench and squatted inside with their heads in their hands, neither running nor making a sound.

When he heard the Ming army approaching, he immediately took out the white towel that he had prepared in his arms and waved it out of the trench with the handle of Qi Dao, shouting:
"Brothers of the 'Red Banner Army', this officer is Jiang Xin, a former general of the Ming Dynasty who was released by the great general Shi En, a few days ago. We do not want to work our lives for the establishment of slaves, and we ask for surrender again!"

It didn't take long for dozens of "Red Banner Army" to appear above the trenches. Half of them were holding miniguns behind the sword and shield holders, and the guns in their hands were aimed at dozens of Qing troops kneeling upright and raising their hands in the trenches.

Moments later, Mao Chenglu, who was in a good mood, ran over. He was holding a steel shield in his left hand and a one-handed battle ax in his right, just like a sword and shield hand using an axe.

It was obvious that Mao Chenglu had seized the opportunity to cut people. There were blood stains on the shield and the ax was still dripping blood. He was happy to see this situation, and said with a smile:

"Jiang Xin, right? You're not good at fighting, you're good at surrendering! You can still be unscathed under the sharp artillery fire of our army, and you can still wait for the chance to surrender under the fire of thousands of guns. I really admire it, hahaha ..."

"Hahaha..." Seeing that the general said something interesting, all the Ming soldiers were laughing hard.

Jiang Xin had been begging and begging for five or six years at Jiannu's house. His face was as thick as a city wall. He apologized and said with a smile:
"The general Zhenglu has a kind heart. He has forgiven the subordinate once. The subordinate knows how to repay his kindness. How could he meet the 'Red Banner Army' again? If General Mao doesn't believe it, ask the brothers around the subordinate. It’s not about letting the gun go unfired.”

Mao Chenglu said contemptuously: "Fortunately, you didn't fire your guns, otherwise your heads would be smashed. Okay, okay, don't kneel down, let your people take off their armor and weapons and concentrate behind."

Jiang Xin flattered: "General Mao, you can bring some people with you to shout, so that the brothers in the trenches in front throw away their weapons and climb out with their hands high, so that your subordinates will not go down to the trenches to fight!"

Mao Chenglu thought for a while and said: "Okay! It's just that if you don't raise your hand and surrender after a breath of time after the shout, our army will kill you without mercy!"

There is no hard bone, and the traitors are most likely scums with broken backbones. The Koryo servants are also afraid of death. When they heard that they would be able to survive, they all raised their hands and surrendered.

Mao Chenglu's advancement slowed down due to surrender and rebellion. Sun Yuanhua, who commanded the artillery advancement, had already brought the artillery cart to the front through the passage built with prefabricated wooden boards for military service.

Sun Yuanhua, who still wanted to direct the bombardment of Fran's machine guns, found that he was busy in vain, because there was no resistance in front of him, only groups of prisoners.

Suddenly a man who was beaten into a pig's head shouted: "Master Sun, Master Sun, help!"

Strangely, some of the captives knew him. Sun Yuanhua approached and took a closer look, then shook his head and said, "Who are you? You know me, but I don't know you!"

To say that Zhang Cunren was really strong, and he could stand vomiting blood even after being beaten. This person was better than Zu Dashou in history, and he was a big traitor who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

He first served as the governor of the Manchu and Qing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and later was promoted to the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Meile Erzhen of the Han Army.

After the Qing army entered the customs, Zhang Cunren fought all the way from Shanxi, Henan, and Nanzhili to Zhejiang and Fujian, and became the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, the chief official of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Later, Zhang Cunren became Minister of the Ministry of War of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the right deputy capital censor, the governor of the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong and Henan, the governor of Baoding, the admiral of Zijingguan, and the leader of coastal defense.

It was this bastard who adopted Hou Fangyu's strategy of substituting soldiers with the water of the Yellow River, opened the embankment of the Yellow River and led to Qianli Zeguo, a densely populated area in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, directly killing more than one million Han people, and the economic loss is incalculable.

Today's history is destined to be rewritten, and Zhang Cunren, who is still bleeding from his mouth, is like a bereaved dog. He wags his tail and begs for mercy:

"My lord Sun, help me. This official is Zhang Cunren, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty! When you were in Ningyuan City in the fifth year of the apocalypse, this official was the Chief Qian at that time, and you have always controlled it. The red barbarian cannon at the top of Ningyuan City was carried up by this official. of."

Sun Yuanhua recognized Zhang Cunren, took a closer look and said sarcastically, "Hey! You are Jiannu's first-class lieutenant general Zhang Cunren! I didn't realize it! Don't live a few years!"

"My lord Sun, help me, this lower official is ready to surrender, who knows that he was messed up by a bunch of rotten soldiers, and the lower official also hates slavery to the bone, as long as the general who conquers the captives can keep the lower official to serve, the lower official will definitely be a great leader The general charges forward."

At this time, a Jiangjun next to him said: "Master Sun, don't listen to Zhang Cunren's nonsense. He is not ready to surrender. He was captured by the younger brother and a dozen brothers. In order to catch him, seven or eight brothers were beaten to death. Five were injured."

Immediately, several defected Han soldiers proved: "Master Sun, we all listened to Mr. Lu Baizong's call to defect and fought with dozens of servants of Zhang Cunren before we were able to capture Zhang Cunren alive."

Sun Yuanhua was in a hurry to observe the deployment of the Qing army in Seoul, and he had no time to chat with Zhang Cunren, an old man, and said: "Don't worry, the governor of the 'Red Banner Army' town knows the truth, and he will know if he voluntarily surrendered. If he had known today, why did he do it in the first place! "

It has been proved that dozens of Han army and Korean soldiers such as Baizong Lu Yuanhua, Xiaoqi officer Xie Hu, Dou Kuai, etc., defected and won the credit for capturing the enemy general alive.

Sun Yuanhua asked the town governor to give preferential treatment immediately, not only meat, but also three liang of wine for each person. After winning Lu Yuanhua and other defectors, they shouted excitedly, "Da Ming wins!".
