Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 620

It's raining.

The soldiers and generals in Jinan City were all panicked. The rain in early winter, which originally brought moisture to the long and dry sky, only brought panic now.

"It's raining harder and harder!"

East of the city.

Several green battalion generals got together to drink, watching the rain getting heavier and heavier, they all had a sad look on their faces.

"The rain is so heavy, if the Ming army breaks the embankment, Jinan will really be flooded."

"Is Bei Zi still unwilling to withdraw?"

Lieutenant General Yang Jie snorted coldly, "Retreat, where is he going to retreat? He is huddled in this city of Jinan. At least there is still a city, and at least there is some food. If he retreats and the troops disperse, how far can he run? One day, the head has to be taken back and then sewn on the body of a pig, dog or donkey, does he dare?"

"Then he will drag us to die together?"

Yang Jie is the deputy general of Shandong Luying. His ancestral home is Yangzhou. Later, in the early Ming Dynasty, his ancestors awarded him the commander of Liaodong’s rear garrison with his military merits. He was hereditary, so he settled in Liaodong. , for the Fubiao Chinese Army of Shanxi Governor Ma Guozhu, with the rank of guerrilla.Following Ma Guozhu, he worked very hard to pacify some Shanxi bandits.

Ma Guozhu was then promoted to the governor of Shanxi, and he was also promoted to the rank of superintendent of the Chinese army and the rank of general.Ma Guozhu moved to Jiangnan, Henan, and Jiangxi governors, while Yang Jie stayed at Xuanda and was promoted to lieutenant general.

The old boss Ma Guozhu was defeated and died in the south of the Yangtze River, but he escaped a catastrophe. Last year, he was ordered to lead three thousand green battalions from Xuanhua and Datong to go south to Shandong to join the army of Qingzhou. After losing half of Shandong, he was demoted to deputy commander .

At this time, he brought three thousand from the green camp in the city from Xuanhua Datong.

"Bohe entrusted them to stay in the full city, where they can still eat delicious food and spicy food. We guard the outer city, but the brothers can only eat porridge every day, saying that the reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are coming, when the reinforcements will arrive, I will I can't see it at all." Guerrilla Li Lian was full of dissatisfaction.

"The Ming army has a lot of artillery, and reinforcements are coming. I guess it will be difficult to get out of the siege. Maybe they will come in instead." Counselor Zhang Tao was also very pessimistic.

Yang Jie looked at a young man who had been silent all this time.

Everyone is a military commander, but this young man is dressed in robes.

"Brother Yao thinks?"

Yang Jie, the deputy general, was very polite to this scholar.

"Looking at the sky one night, I found that the purple emblem in the southeast is full of stars, the purple air is gathering in the east, the bull is fighting against the wolf, and the handle is pointing to the east. A certain speculates that this is the purple air coming from the east, and the arrival of the holy king.

What do you think, corresponding to the current situation in the world, what does this refer to? "

Guerrilla Huang Dalai said, "This must be the Great Emperor of the Guidance Dynasty. It seems that the Great Ming Dynasty is still alive, and under the leadership of the Great Emperor, it will revive ZTE and start its glory again.

We can't go against the sky! "

Yang Jie was born as a hereditary military officer, and he didn't read much, but he believed in this set of destiny and astrology things.

Moreover, he also trusted the young man in front of him. Although this young man was young, he was extremely powerful. He could hold a twelve-strength strong bow and shoot through Zhajia from a hundred steps away.

Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also a scholar. In his hometown of Shaoxing Kuaiji, he was selected as a scholar at the age of 13. If it is not an accident, he might be as successful as Zheng Zunqian, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Huaxia and other famous Jiangnan scholars in the Southern Dynasties. He became a minister of the Southern Dynasty.

When the Qing army went south, Hongguang abandoned Nanjing and fled. In Nanjing, he fled to Tongzhou to live temporarily. As a result, the local gentry surnamed Sun voluntarily surrendered to the Qing army. He pretended to be a tiger and bullied Yao Qisheng, a foreigner, in order to seize his property. .

In a rage, Yao Qisheng ran to the camp of the Qing army, saying that he was willing to use his family wealth to help the army and serve the Qing Dynasty. He also said that he was a 13-year-old scholar who had been imprisoned in Nanjing and was originally a labor of the Qing Dynasty.At this time, the Qing army had just gone south and sent envoys to recruit surrender everywhere. For this young and handsome man who took the initiative to surrender, he was still a well-known talent, so he readily accepted it.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is willing to donate a large amount of property.

So he agreed to Yao Qisheng's request and granted him the office of governor of Tongzhou, let him go back to appease the officials of Tongzhou, and collect taxes, money and food for the army.

Yao Qisheng took the mission of the Qing army, and borrowed a few Qing troops to return to Tongzhou, and directly arrested Sun Haojun who bullied him, saying that he conspired against him, executed him, and confiscated his property and handed it over to his followers Qing soldiers turned in.

After doing this, Yao Qisheng got revenge and disappeared in the middle of the night.

It turned out that he didn't really want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but he just hated the tyrant surnamed Sun for being a traitor and deceiving others, so he ran to the Qing army camp and pretended to surrender, saying that he voluntarily donated his family's wealth to the army, and was willing to contact Tongzhou officials and people to join him, etc. , Successfully deceived the greedy Qing army into trusting them, borrowed Tartar soldiers to go back, and used the official prestige of Tongzhou Zhizhou to kill the traitor, and left after taking revenge.

Yao Qisheng was planning to go south and return to his hometown after taking revenge.

As a result, they encountered rebels on the way and kidnapped civilian women. Yao Qisheng's wife was also a chivalrous woman, especially martial arts. She was able to lift a large stone mortar. A chaotic soldier.

Afterwards, it was discovered that the two soldiers were subordinates of General Fang Guoan, and he heard that Fang Guoan and Ma Shiying had waited in Shaoxing, so Yao Qisheng had no choice but to avoid going to Suzhou again.

After hiding for a period of time, he found that no one was hunting him down, so he turned to start a business, but the world was chaotic, and this business was not easy to do. In the end, he was recruited by Yang Jie as a staff member and became a master of Shaoxing.

Although he was a private staff member, Yang Jie treated Yao Qisheng really well. Yao Qisheng was willing to accept Yang Jie's recruitment before, in fact, it was because he was robbed by a soldier when he was doing business. Yao Qisheng agreed.

Yang Jie has [-] Xuan soldiers under his command, and a group of confidant generals such as Li Lian, Huang Dalai, Zhang Tao, Chen Hongmi are also very loyal to him, and follow his example.

Yang Jie respected Yao Qisheng very much, took him as the mastermind, and discussed everything with him.

"At first, I thought that the Ming Dynasty was so rotten that there was no way to save it. The world was going to change its dynasty, and we soldiers would follow the trend of the times, but who knew it would be like this now."

Yang Jie sighed.

"Brother, the world is like this, we are just soldiers, so we naturally follow the trend of the times."

"Bo and Tuo are ignorant of current affairs. That's because he is a Tartar. He has no choice, but we have choices."

"Brother Yao?" Yang Jie asked Yao Qisheng.

Yao Qisheng is very young, in his 20s, but he is a bold person. You can see that he is a bold and careful person when he is in Tongzhou.

He looked at these green battalion generals.

I know what I know.

"Nowadays is a crisis, but there is also a chance to survive in the crisis, and even wealth, and the opportunity is rare, it depends on whether everyone can seize it."

"Brother Yao, please enlighten me."

"General Yang and others have [-] Xuan soldiers under their command, and now Jinan is in danger, I believe these [-] brothers are not willing to stay here with Bo and entrust them to die, right?

And with the prestige of the general leading the troops, the soldiers have always obeyed, why not lead these [-] armored soldiers to attack Mancheng in one fell swoop, kill Bo Hetuo, Tong Yangjia, Zhang Ruxiu and other bannermen, and then use Jinan City to ask Emperor Shaotian surrender?

At that time, not only will he be innocent, but he will also be a great achievement.

Now that Nanming is on the rise, it won't be long before the old capital of Beijing will be returned. Not only will Daming be rejuvenated, but Jianzhou will also be conquered, and it will be swept away again, so the sooner it returns, the better. "

"And hurry up. Right now, Jinan City is like a volcano about to erupt. There are more than ten thousand Mongolian and Han soldiers in the city. There are probably a lot of people who want to surrender. Don't let people get there first."

Yao Qisheng's words gave Yang Jie a decision.

And Li Lian's guerrillas, generals and other confidantes also hurriedly persuaded Yang Jie to act quickly.

"Time is running out, brother please make a decision early!"

Yang Jie cupped his hands to Yao Qisheng, "Brother Yao, please give us a plan. I'll follow the plan, please."

The rain is getting heavier.

The time for the Ming army to issue an ultimatum is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the entire city of Jinan is becoming more and more tense.

Do not perish in silence, just erupt in silence.

The night before the deadline for the Ming army to flood the city.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion in the city.

Soon the whole city of Jinan was in chaos.

Lieutenant General Yang Jie led the Xuanda green battalion soldiers to raid the inner city, while Yao Qisheng led a group of people pretending to be other green battalions to attack the guards at the north gate, and sent people to shout loudly throughout the city that the flood was coming.

For a moment, the soldiers and civilians in Jinan City, who were already extremely nervous, panicked instantly. Everyone ran around, trying to escape from Jinan.

Everyone knows that there are no soldiers around the north gate, so everyone comes to the north gate.

And after Yao Qisheng took the lead in attacking the Qing army guarding the north gate, other green battalion, Xiangyong, and common people who came to flee for their lives also attacked the defenders in the rainy night.

Like a flood that has accumulated for a long time, the water level is already extremely high.

At this time, a huge wave hit the peak, and the dam finally couldn't stop it anymore.

The brave Ba Yala couldn't stop the ferocious siege, and fell one by one.

The north gate was finally opened, and countless people fled out of the city.

However, Yang Jie led Xuan Dabing to storm the city. These Xuan Dabing were originally the Ming Frontier Army, and their combat effectiveness was still acceptable. They were all elites who were dispatched to the south of Shandong before.

At this time, under the instigation of Yang Jie and others, everyone also desperately fought for survival and wealth!

While rushing and attacking, shouting loudly, the flood entered the city, and the north gate was broken.

Heavy rain.

The dark night added to the confusion.

In fact, Mancheng was expanded on the basis of Yuande Wangfu. Many Manchu families lived in it, but it was mainly guarded by Eight Banners Mongols.

In the chaos, some Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers were obviously shaken.

More and more Mongolian soldiers began to abandon their defenses and flee. They wanted to leave a long time ago, but Bo and Tuo refused to allow them. Now that there is chaos, there is no hesitation.

Holding a big knife in his hand, Yang Jie finally rushed into the inner city.

"If you kill a Tartar, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver; if you capture and kill Bo Hetuo, Tong Yangjia, and Zhang Ruxiu, you will be promoted to three ranks, and you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

"Kill!"

Outside the city, the Ming army found that there was chaos in the city, but the whole army was on guard, and did not approach Jinan City. Even the North City, which was opened from the net, still opened the gap on that side.

It rained all night.

Jinan was also in chaos overnight.

At dawn, after the rain breaks, the city of Jinan has finally calmed down.

Yao Qisheng wore a white robe, held a white flag on his own, and went out of the city to the Ming camp to ask for surrender.

That white flag is a bit special, with three heads tied on it, namely Heshuo Beizi, Tongbo Hetuo, deputy governor of the Eight Banners Garrison in Dezhou, Tong Yangjia, the admiral of Shandong, the servant of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Shandong, the left servant of the Ministry of War and the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The imperial censor Zhang Ruxiu.

The money-tailed rats on the backs of the three people's heads were tied to the white flagpoles, their eyes were wide open, and they would not die in peace.
