Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Jin on the side looked at the fierce fighting on the battlefield and spoke up.

"Your Highness, the Qing army at Baliqiao is surrounded by our legions. Their way of survival has been completely cut off. They are in a desperate situation. I wonder if we can try to persuade them to surrender?"

"If we can persuade the Qing army to surrender, our soldiers will also suffer fewer casualties."

Zhu Jing'an took a deep breath, nodded and said.

"You can try it!"

"If the Qing army is willing to surrender, I can use the name of the Ming Prince to guarantee their life safety and ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not trap or kill the surrendered soldiers."

"But if he doesn't surrender, don't say he was unforeseen!"

The current battle is too fierce. If the battle can be ended by persuading surrender, Zhu Jing'an will naturally not have any objection.

Seeing this, Zhang Jin immediately clasped his fists and said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make arrangements right now!"

Zhu Jing'an nodded slightly.

"Send the order, let all our army units suspend their attack on the Qing army's camp and withdraw to rest!"

“We’ll wait until the result of persuading surrender is achieved!”

Since the Battle of Baliqiao began, various departments of the Ming Army have taken turns to launch fierce attacks on the Qing Army.

Although good news came frequently, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties in the fierce fighting.

When the battle reached this point, the Ming army was still fighting with the Qing army. If victory was not in sight, the Ming army might not be able to hold on any longer.

If you can persuade them to surrender, then do so!

……

Facing the Ming army's persuasion to surrender, Yong Rong and others couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

After sending the messenger, Yong Rong spoke.

"Gu's opinion is that the war has reached this point, and the Qing Dynasty's defeat is a foregone conclusion."

"Perhaps it's time to negotiate peace with the Ming thieves. Try our best to use the capital we have at hand to negotiate a leniency outcome for our bannermen."

"Didn't the Prince of the Ming Dynasty promise not to kill prisoners of war? I think a person like him shouldn't keep his word."

After Yong Rong finished speaking, Yong Yan also spoke.

"The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end, but all our bannermen cannot be killed!"

"We, the people, have to give the banner people a chance to survive."

Yongyan expressed his support for Yongrong.

But when Yong Lin, the youngest at the side, heard this, he couldn't help but speak.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When Huang Ama separated you and others, each of you went out to the town, he wanted you to defend the Qing Dynasty to protect the country, not to let you surrender first."

"Are you really not ashamed to surrender to the Ming thief now?!"

"I will always be ashamed to associate with you!"

Yonglin is young and energetic, and does not want to surrender to the enemy in exchange for his own life.

When saying this, Yonglin looked at Fukangan beside him.

Want to get support from Fukangan!

Fukangan looked around and said firmly in a deep voice.

"If you two princes want to surrender to the Ming thieves and live in vain, please do it yourself."

"No matter what, I, Fukangan, will not surrender to the Ming thieves."

"I, Fukangan, will carry the honor of my bannermen and fight the Ming thieves until the last moment!"

"We, the bannermen, have received the kindness of the Qing Dynasty in this life, and now it is time to repay the Qing Dynasty!"

As he spoke, Fukangan's hand tightened on the saber at his waist, veins popped out on the back of his hand, and his eyes were very firm.

Yong Rong and Yong Yan looked at each other, and finally Yong Rong spoke.

"What the general said is true, and I admire what the general has done."

"However, I need to preserve the last fire for our banner people, and we cannot allow our banner people to become extinct..."

Hearing this, Fukangan nodded and said.

"I understand what the two princes mean." After speaking, Yongyan spoke.

"I will send someone to negotiate with the Ming thief, Yonglin, you can decide for yourself!"

Yongyan finally wanted to persuade Yonglin.

After all, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.

Only when people are alive can they have a future!

Hearing this, Yonglin turned his searching eyes to Fukangan again.

I want to get a little sense of security from Fukangan.

Seeing this, Fukang'an just said his attitude was still firm.

"The Qing Dynasty is so big that someone always needs to die for it..."

Fukang'an now has a death wish in his heart, and is ready to die for the Qing Dynasty in exchange for his own death.

Just as a few people were discussing, a Qing army sentry rider suddenly ran in from outside the tent.

This Qing army sentry rider ran all the way to Yong Rong and others, knelt down on one knee, and spoke.

"I'm going to report... I'm going to report some of my masters!"

"Kong Zhaohuan, Duke Yansheng, took the lead in treason and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and offered the city to the Ming thieves. Now... now the capital has been lost!"

Upon hearing the bad news, Yong Rong and others' expressions instantly changed.

"This... how is this possible?! Are the defenders of the capital just decorations? How could Kong Zhaohuan successfully sacrifice the city so easily?!"

"Thief, what a thief. I have long seen that Kong Zhaohuan is a wolf with a bad heart and a dog's heart. I only regret that I did not see his true face earlier and have him punished."

"It's over, it's all over!"

"The capital has been lost, and the morale of the army will be in chaos. Even if we don't surrender, we won't be able to continue this battle."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Now the core of the Qing army is the Eight Banners New Army, and most of the families of the soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army are in the capital.

Now that the Ming army has captured the capital, doesn't it mean that the wives, children, and parents of the Eight Banners soldiers are in the hands of the Ming army?

There is really no way to fight this battle!

At this moment, a deafening sound of shelling suddenly sounded outside again.

Boom! Boom!

Artillery shells fell from the sky and exploded in the Qing army's camp, bursting into flames.

This is the Ming army issuing an ultimatum to the Qing army!

The Qing army was required to raise its flag and surrender before the Ming army launched its final attack.

Otherwise, they would not have to surrender.

……

Zhu Jing'an was riding on horseback, his posture as tall as a pine tree. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the Qing army's camp, his eyes inevitably a little anxious.

Even the surrounded Qing army knew about Kong Zhaohuan's dedication to the Ming Dynasty. How could Zhu Jing'an not know about it?

He is now a little anxious to take over the capital!

I don't want to continue feuding with the Qing army.

"Send the order and let our army's artillery group increase the intensity of firepower delivery and force the Qing army to surrender as soon as possible."

Zhu Jing'an ordered with a cold face.

When a messenger next to him heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned around and went to deliver the order.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of heavy artillery shelling became more intensive, and the Ming army's artillery groups continued to pour out firepower.

Soon, the Qing army finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to surrender to the Ming army.

Yong Rong and Yong Yan Routan carried Jing out of the city and surrendered to the Ming army with the main force of the Eight Banners New Army.

Yonglin and Fukangan chose to bring a small number of die-hard elements to prepare for a breakout.

Make a desperate attempt!

However, as soon as the Qing army left camp and prepared to break out, the Ming army's cavalry rushed into the battlefield.

Launched a charge against the die-hard elements of the Qing army!

"Kill!"

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
