Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 107 The Destruction of the Eight Banners

Hangzhou.

It rained all night.

In the early morning, Belle Bolo was awakened by firecrackers, thinking that the enemy was attacking.

"Today is the first day of the sixth lunar month. Some people in the city are used to setting off firecrackers to burn incense. This disturbed Baylor, so the servants sent an order to prohibit setting off firecrackers." A Ba Yala guard rushed to explain.

"Is it the first day of June?" Boluo touched his head, then waved his hand again, "Forget it."

Putting on a four-clawed python Belle robe, Boluo sighed, "On the first day of October last year, with Dingguo's great general, Prince Yu Duoduo, marched southward, conquering east and west, smashing Xi'an and destroying the puppet Shun Dynasty in Guanzhong, and then taking over Nanjing. It has been eight months since winter and autumn came to annihilate the puppet and Ming regime."

These eight months were indeed the most glorious time for the Qing army. The two armies of Duoduo and Azig marched together, and the entire north of the Yangtze River was leveled. Even Jiangnan had already surrendered.

But recently there has been some trouble.

Boluo sipped his tea and asked, "Is there any news from Li Yuchun?"

"Return to master, not yet."

"How much is it?"

"There is also the letter that I sent with Li Yuchun earlier."

Bo Luo drank his tea and frowned. Li Yuchun was just a subdued general and deputy commander. He was asked to go to Jiaxing and Pinghaiyan to rebel against a Ming army. In the end, he went to Chongde, Tongxiang and other places to rob. Boluo also turned a blind eye to the matter. After all, since they went to the south of the Yangtze River, too many soldiers from the Ming army have been recruited.

Azige accepted the surrender of Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng in Jiujiang, with 12 troops and more than 4 large and small ships, while Duoduo and the others received as many as 25 surrendered troops in Jianghuai. Hongguang's Jiangbei four towns Two towns surrendered without a fight.

Doduo and Boluo had only 30 Eight Banners soldiers who went south, but there were [-] when they entered Nanjing. After that, Doduo divided half of the troops and gave Boluo to Hangzhou to destroy Zhu Changhao, who dared to call himself the supervisor of the country.

Boluo led 12 soldiers from the Eight Banners, and [-] troops from the Ming Dynasty marched southward. They galloped all the way to the south and quickly arrived in Hangzhou. In the First World War, they wiped out the small Jianguo court that had only been established for five days.

Not to mention how many generals and deputy generals among the more than 20 Ming troops who surrendered in the four towns of Jiangbei surrendered. After entering Nanjing, there were still 31 university scholars and ministers who surrendered, 55 governors and [-] admiral. , [-] lieutenants, countless below.

Li Yuchun was only a general when he surrendered in Sizhou, and he couldn't even be ranked among the surrendered generals.

All the way to Hangzhou, he was awarded the title of deputy general of Jiaxing, Gexie Town, which is actually not worth mentioning.After all, in order to appease these surrendered generals, the Qing Dynasty kept the original position of the original nobles and even gave promotions to those who came to vote.

They set up new admirals in each province, and added generals, deputy generals, and generals below them. In fact, the current admirals in the Qing Dynasty are equivalent to the generals of the original Ming Dynasty, and the generals are at most equivalent to the former generals.

But they managed to appease the surrendered generals with this kind of gossip, and made them very happy. After all, from a general to a lieutenant general, and from a lieutenant general to a general, they are always promoted.

Li Yuchun, the newly promoted lieutenant general, has only the two battalions around Zhenbiao plus the Chinese army, a total of less than 500 people. However, Boluo led the troops all the way south to Hangzhou. The food and salaries are all plundered on the spot, and the Eight Banners soldiers are given priority. Supply, and then the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and Kong Youde and other old traitors and puppet troops.

The surrendered troops in the four towns of Jiangbei were even inferior. As for the Ming troops in the south of the Yangtze River who surrendered in anticipation, they could not even expect to be paid.

Boluo was well aware of the poor discipline of these surrendered soldiers, but he didn't try to stop them. Anyway, these were lackeys recruited by the Qing Dynasty. When they were hungry, they just went to find food by themselves.

"The sudden appearance of so many brave men in Jiaxing, how credible do you think?" Bo Luo asked.

"There are definitely some, but they are just a bunch of mud legs, nothing to be afraid of."

Bo Luo nodded, thinking the same way. Since their Southern Expedition, they have wiped out the two courts of Dashun and Nanming, and also wiped out a Hangzhou Jianguo. The Hongguang Dynasty with thousands of soldiers is not vulnerable to the Eight Banners soldiers.

The regular army of these Han people is like this, so what's the use of guarding the courtyard of those landlords and squires.

It can only be said that Li Yuchun is an idiot, and he also forgot who said good things about this guy in front of him before, and made himself agree to let him assist Jiaxing.

"Ji Shiha reported that there are a lot of these townsmen, and Li Yuchun suffered a big loss, but with precautions, those townspeople should have nothing to do with them."

"What I'm thinking about now is whether to send a team to reinforce them."

"Maybe wait for the news?" Boluo said to himself.

The imperial court has appointed Hong Chengchou as a bachelor of the Inner Academy of Military Affairs, the local governors of the Jiangnan provinces, appointed Tu Guobao as the governor of Jiangning, Sun Zhixie as the governor of Jiangxi, and Jiang Jinyin as the governor of Huaiyang.

Zhang Cunren was the governor of Zhejiang.

Beijing is step by step recalling the Eight Banners of the Southern Expeditions, and assigning governors and others to appease and guard the places.

Beilelk Dehun was also awarded the title of General Pingnan. When he arrived in Jinling, he would become the commander of the Eight Banners left behind in the south of the Yangtze River.

Duoduo, Boluo, etc. have to hand over the affairs in hand one after another, and then lead the main force of the Eight Banners back to the north.

After all, it has been eight months since the expedition this time, and now that the overall situation has been settled, there is no need for the army to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for some minor problems.

Bolo has also been packing up and busy handing over.

If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of a king of Lu in the east of Zhejiang and the great momentum, Boluo would have already returned to Jiangling with his troops, where he joined Duoduo and returned north together.

"The troops that Li Yuchun and the others encountered were the Hongguang defeated soldiers who went south from Susong and other places, or were they the Ming army who went north from eastern Zhejiang and other places to stay behind?"

"It's all possible."

"Then let's wait for the news. As long as Li Yuchun is not a pig, there is no reason for thousands of troops to be eaten by those rebels. After I have handed over everything to Zhang Cunren and Tian Xiong, I will lead my troops to the north and drop by the way." Pass through Jiaxing, and wipe out these ignorant guys again."

"What Baylor said is that a group of guys who are overreaching, when we lead the army to the north and sweep along the way, no matter what Lu Jianguo or Yiyang King Jianguo, they will all end in ashes."

"Hahaha, that's natural."

Sure enough, in the afternoon, he rode a fast horse into the city, and brought the latest Tang newspaper from Li Yuchun, Lieutenant General of Jiaxing.

"Baylor, great victory!"

Li Yuchun defeated the [-] to [-] puppet Ming bandit army in Zhujiazhuang, Haiyan. Dozens of guards, etc., cut more than [-]...

With such a great victory, Bazheng followed his Eight Banners generals Zhenguo Generals Baiyintu and Gong Adai, Guard Commanders Tulai and Nikan, Shuguard Commanders Dude, forward commanders Baiyindai and Nushan, Zhenguo Generals Han Dai, Bei Zibo, Tuo, Tong Yangjia, the chief soldier, and Bo Luo, who were discussing matters, were all startled.

"This damn guy is too exaggerated, and his false achievements are so excessive!"

A group of Eight Banners generals couldn't help scolding Li Yuchun for being so daring, did they treat them as idiots, even if he added a few thousand and five hundred horsemen, how could he have this ability?

Furthermore, in Haiyan, where did tens of thousands of Puppet Ming troops emerge?

"Excessive!"

Tong Yangjia, a general from the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, said, "At the beginning, Zuo Liangyu in Hubei claimed to have 80 people going down the river, but when his son surrendered to Prince Ying in Jiujiang, he counted the number of troops, and the total number was only 12, which is a false report." About seven times. According to this method of retribution, Li Yuchun claimed to have defeated the puppet army by [-] to [-], but in reality it was eight to nine thousand at most, ten thousand at most."

"It's impossible for ten thousand people." General Zhen Guo Bai Yintu said.

"Pull together some miscellaneous strong men. Ten thousand people is not a problem. If there are not even 1 people, Li Yuchun and Ji Shiha will not ask for help."

Bo Luo smiled and continued to read, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

"What's the matter?" Tong Yangjia asked, "Could it be that this guy is going too far behind?"

There was no smile on Boluo's face, "Ji Shiha is gone, including all his five hundred riders."

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Everyone can't believe it.

The Qing army marched southward, covering all the way, and basically encountered no decent resistance, let alone the current situation where such an army was completely wiped out.

Even if there are only five hundred cavalry, they are still infantry, and they are also Eight Banners soldiers.

"how can that be?"

Yeah, how is this possible.

The letter was passed among the generals, and there were some who did not know Chinese characters, so Tong Yangjia was asked to read it to them.This letter was written by Yan Wogong, and the writing is very straightforward, but there are also ups and downs in the plot.

In his writing, this Zhujiazhuang battle is comparable to the Songjin decisive battle before the Qing army entered the pass.

In short, the Ming army attacked from all directions, and there were countless people. However, under the wise command of the two generals Ji Shiha and Li Yuchun, the Qing army defeated wave after wave of enemy troops.

In particular, Master Manchuria, Ji Shiha, led the five hundred cavalry under his command and Li Yuchun's five hundred cavalry, entered and exited seven times in the enemy camp. The Emperor Dynasty Xian, the general soldier of the hanging seal, only escaped with his own body.

It's just that in the end they were exhausted. When chasing the dynasty, they were unlucky for a while. They were bombarded by the Ming thief and were unfortunately seriously injured. Li Yuchun led his troops to rescue them, but they still died. In the end, all the soldiers were killed.

Li Yuchun and others rose up to fight back, and finally defeated the Ming army who was dying to fight back. Tens of thousands were killed in this battle, but more than [-] Qing troops also died in battle.

Fortunately, these puppet Ming troops were finally defeated, and now Li Yuchun is leading troops to pursue and sweep them up, vowing to avenge the Manchurian soldiers.

Li Yuchun even ordered the whole army to wear sackcloth and mourning for the Manchurian soldiers.

The hall was silent.

After listening to the beginning just now, everyone felt that Li Yuchun falsely reported his achievements and bragged to the sky.

But now, facing the news of Ji Shiha's death in battle and the annihilation of his five hundred cavalry, they all looked serious. Li Yuchun would never dare to talk about such things.

"Ji Shiha, this bird guy, has always been greedy for wine and lust, maybe he was ambushed by fake thieves."

Tu Lai and the others still didn't believe that Li Yuchun and the others had encountered the so-called [-] to [-] Ming troops. How can there be so many Ming troops in the south of the Yangtze River now?But since Ji Shiha died, it means that some battles did take place there. He guessed that the most likely thing was that he encountered a Ming army fleeing south. The number is not large, otherwise Li Yuchun will also be wiped out, instead of Li Yuchun fighting with them now.

So this should be an unexpected encounter, or an ambush.

"Send someone to kill that bastard Li Yuchun!" Zhen Guo General Bai Yintu said angrily.

Boluo took a few deep breaths, "Send a team to Jiaxing to find out the details, and then make a decision."

"We have to call guys like Zhang Cunren and Tian Xiong. Li Yuchun belongs to them. Now that such a big incident happened, they have to give an explanation. If we fight Jinling and Hangzhou, we don't have 500 troops to be wiped out. They have to give us an answer." Confess!" Bai Yintu slapped the table and yelled.

The last time a group of one hundred bannermen crossed Hainan to reconnaissance and was annihilated, they were already very angry. Unexpectedly, all five hundred troops were gone now.
