Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 236 "A Letter to Guangzhou Officials and People" (Please subscribe!)

Wu Xingzuo, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, "sacrificed generously", and Guangzhou general Wang Yongyu had already fled halfway to Mancheng for the last struggle.

"Clean up the nearby West City! Drive out all the Han people! Hold here and wait for reinforcements from Chaozhou Prefecture and Hunan!"

"Send someone to help the Dutch in Xiangjiang Island!"

Wang Yongyu gave such an order with difficulty. The Ming bandits were strong, and there was no chance of winning against the Ming bandits head-on, but he could mobilize all the bannermen in the city to defend. It would be a good thing to lose the outer city, and he no longer had to worry about the Han people cooperating with each other!

As long as the reinforcements arrive, the general situation may be reversed.

Following Wang Yongyu's order, the city of Guangzhou was completely plunged into a chaotic vortex of flesh and blood.

The bannermen and generals under him carried out the orders extremely thoroughly, and the most effective way to drive people away was to kill people.

In the city of Guangzhou, the Bannermen and the Han people had always had deep entanglements. Thirty years ago, when Shang Kexi captured Guangzhou, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty massacred 30 people here, causing Guangzhou to flow like rivers of blood.

Some of the surviving Guangzhou people were driven away, but most of them are still in the city!

People in Guangzhou will never forget the engraved hatred, they are just dormant, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the Qing dynasty.

Now, for their own safety, the bannermen and even the bannerman Ding Zhuang ganged up to kill people, just wanting to defend the west city and prevent the Han people from cooperating with the Ming army who invaded the outer city.

There was a moment of wailing and shaking, blood everywhere.

In the old days, the Han people could only run for their lives with their heads in their arms, but Daming's hot air balloon troops continued to wander over the city of Guangzhou after throwing away the explosive packs.

They sprinkled the leaflets they had prepared to the people in Guangzhou.

There is only one content above, and that is the "Report to Guangzhou Officials and People":
Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty personally marched, and the city of Guangzhou has been destroyed. Guangzhou is the Guangzhou of the Ming Dynasty, not the Guangzhou of the Qing Dynasty. In the past, the officers and soldiers of the Qing court also had their own proper arrangements.

The only enemies of the Ming Dynasty are the Ertars in Guangzhou. They stole Guangzhou, and their ancestors were bloody with their hands. They once washed Guangzhou into a city of blood.

The "Report to Guangzhou Officials and People" came very timely. Many Guangzhou people in the city did not understand who was attacking Guangzhou. They thought it was bandits, which made everyone feel insecure.

Now, upon hearing the news of the Ming Dynasty's attack on Guangzhou, the somewhat bloody Han people are unwilling to be the fish on the swords anymore. With the sword, they draw the sword, but without the sword, they swing the pole, break off the wooden legs of the tables and chairs, and start fighting with the bannerman. While killing, he still shouted: "Throw away you, Lou, when Daming enters Xicheng, all of you bannermen will die!"

"Throw you, Lou, and kill all the Tartars!"

Facing the common people's counterattack, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty became more ruthless in order to clear the west city quickly.

At first, it was just a knife move, and then there was a lot of gunfire. The hustle and bustle of Xicheng became a battlefield.

"What's going on in the west city? It's so lively inside?" The chaos in the west city caught Pan Aqiang's attention.

The guards who were clearing the outer city looked at each other in blank dismay. Hearing the sound of the west city, it seemed that tens of thousands of troops were fighting in scuffle.

"Qiangzi, how did the Ming Dynasty fight Guangzhou, and how did it lift the cover that was placed on the people of Guangzhou? If there were any grievances, they would naturally rush out without any cover. In the city of Guangzhou, people are all counting the past."

Lu Xianwu, who was in charge of the front line, said in a low voice.

"Thirty years ago, Qing soldiers killed 30 people in Guangzhou. This revenge will be avenged!"

"It's a pity that there are only tens of thousands of these two Tartars, and it's not enough to kill them all."

After hearing this, Pan Aqiang felt that it was a pity to kill them all, and suggested: "It's better to send these two Tartars to Luzon to mine, and use their whole life to work to repay the blood debt!"

"Mining is still too cheap for them. It's better to kill all the male Eight Banners, and capture the female Eight Banners and distribute them to soldiers without spouses!" Wang Xianwu added.

Now, the battalion commanders below were not happy, "Guan Zhen, the soldiers of the Guards don't like these Ertar girls!"

"The structure is small, and they are not allowed to be wives, but they can be maids or concubines!" Wang Xianwu said cheerfully.

But Pan Aqiang said: "How to deal with it, the emperor has the final say, let's go to Xicheng to rescue the people of Guangzhou!"

"Yes!"

Standing on the top of Guide Gate, overlooking the entire city of Guangzhou, black smoke billows into the sky, the ground is shrouded in gray mist, and the former bustling city of Guangzhou is filled with gunpowder and smoke.

"Stuck in the city waiting for help? You are really looking for a dead end..."

This is not the same as when the Qing soldiers attacked Guangzhou 30 years ago. At that time, the enemy was the most obvious. Although the city of Guangzhou was defeated by Shang Ke, it was a united resistance. Otherwise, Shang Ke Xi would not have killed so fiercely.

After figuring out that it was Daming who attacked the city, the ordinary people in Guangzhou did not think that the guards were enemies. Daming killed the Tartars, and they would not kill them.

But Wang Yongyu and the Bannermen are different. They eat the hard-core crops of the Qing court, so they have to be tied to the Qing court.

Zhu Kezang learned that the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were massacring, so he quickly ordered the Guards to attack the West City, and asked the Qing soldiers to bring a letter to the city.

The letter said, Wang Yongyu, the defeated general, surrendered now, to give you and your family a way to survive, and not to embarrass your Wang family.

But Wang Yongyu remained silent all the time, and ordered the banner soldiers to block the streets and alleys of the Bannerman area with carriages and bricks, as if guarding the city.

The city structure of Guangzhou is somewhat unique. In the Song Dynasty, there were three cities in the east and west. In the Ming Dynasty, the three cities were opened up, the north and east sides of the Song City were expanded, and the south city was newly built.

But when the southern city was built, the southern city wall of Song City was retained.

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, two city walls were built from the east to the west of the south city to the edge of the Pearl River, called Chicken Wing City. Strictly speaking, Guangzhou City has three layers from south to north.

Beicheng is where Mancheng is located. The Banner District is in the northwest corner of Beicheng. The southeast of Beicheng is Guangzhou General Mansion, and the northwest is Guangxiao Temple.

Now Wang Yongyu evacuated most of the banner people to the north of Hui'ai West Street, and tens of thousands of people crowded into the narrow area between the General's Mansion and Guangxiao Temple.

At the same time, troops were sent to guard the west city to prevent the whole city from directly facing the firepower of the Ming army.

He wanted to delay time by relying on the high walls and barricades in the west city, as long as the whole city did not fall, he would be able to fight.

The bannermen faced the Ming army with one heart and one mind, and there were not only banner soldiers' arsenals but also flag warehouses all over the city.

Wang Yongyu refused to leave, and the guards felt a little tricky.

If you throw yourself into street fighting and fight against the banner soldiers who are still strong in fighting will, even if you can win, you will probably lose a little bit.

"The bannermen retreated to defend in a mourning manner, which was just right. I was worried about accidentally injuring the people of Guangzhou, so the air force continued to strike with precision and killed these two Tartars."

"Yes!"
