Wanghai Fort is located 200 miles northeast of Jinzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, the Jinzhou Guard once set up a hundred households here. After the Jin Army occupied Jinzhou, they also stationed troops in Wanghai Fort to guard against Dongjiang Town.However, there are not many soldiers and horses, only 700 Han army banners, and thousands of Han people who were originally fishermen and are now Eight Banners Aha.Between Wanghai Fort and Jinzhou, there are two small forts that are farmed, and there are more than [-] soldiers of the Ming army who were captured in the Guangning War. (Author's note: Aha, Manchurian contempt for the Han people who were enslaved under the flag)

Unlike the Manchu Eight Banners, although the Han Eight Banners are also recorded with cattle, the system of the Ming army is still used in the banner. official.General Zhou Wuchang stationed in Wanghai Fort was Li Peiguo's subordinate. This man was surrendered to gold with Li Peiguo after the defeat of Guangning in the second year of Tianqi. His subordinates were all Ming soldiers who had participated in the battle of Guangning.

People like Zhou Wuchang who experienced the Guangning battle ten years ago are reluctant to say more, because they can't say anything. If they have to say something, it may be the resentment for Sun Degong's betrayal.

After Liaoyang and Shenyang fell one after another in the first year of Tianqi, the Ming court sent Xiong Tingbi, a member of the Donglin party, and Wang Huazhen, the "eunuch party", to go out to clean up the situation.Wang Huazhen was determined to forge ahead, eager to recover, and focused on offense strategically; Xiong Tingbi insisted on focusing on defense and had no interest in offensive ideas.From a defensive point of view alone, Xiong Tingbi's deployment is more reliable, but Xiong Tingbi has overlooked a problem, that is, the expectation of the 300 million Liaodong Han people for the Ming army to regain lost ground and their enthusiasm for not wanting to be slaves of foreign races. [

After the Jin army captured Liaoshen, Nurhachi implemented a high-handed policy of massacres against the Han people. Those Han people in Liaodong who did not want to be the ghosts of the Jin army took up arms to resist the Jin army. The stronghold was built to wait for the officers and soldiers, and no less than [-] of them fled into North Korea.Those old and weak women and children who resisted desperately hoped that the officers and soldiers would come to rescue them day and night.In the massacre that lasted for several months, more than one million Han people in Liaodong were massacred. Therefore, Xiong Tingbi's main defense is to give up all those Han people who are still resisting and let them be killed.Wang Huazhen was on the contrary. The purpose of his insistence on attacking was to rescue these court subjects who were in dire straits. At that time, he sent no less than dozens of envoys to contact the troubled Han people.

In the first month of the second year of Tianqi, Nurhachi acted first, and 5 Jin soldiers crossed the Liao River and attacked Xiping Fort.Xiping Fort is an important barrier around Guangning, and together with Zhenwu Fort and Luyang Post in the shape of a "pin" to defend Guangning, the deputy commander Luo always led troops to garrison here.When the Jin soldiers came to attack, Luo Yiguan ordered the general Hei Yunlong to lead his troops out of the city to fight. Hei Yunlong was defeated and died.The Jin soldiers surrounded Xiping Fort and launched a fierce attack on the south gate. Luo Yiguan led his troops to defend and fired back. The Jin army suffered many casualties.

Li Yongfang, who surrendered to the Jin army, attempted to recruit Luo Yiguan. He waved the banner of surrender and sent envoys into the city to persuade him to surrender.Luo has always been loyal, and he angrily said: "Don't you know that I am a loyal person?" He ordered the future envoy to beheaded, and raised the banner of surrender on the city tit for tat. Hou Jin became furious and attacked more violently.

Wang Huazhen ordered his confidant general Sun Degong and general Zu Dashou to lead the Guangning soldiers to rescue Xiping Fort.Wang Huazhen originally wanted to use Sun Degong to instigate Li Yongfang, the former Ming Fushun guerrilla who surrendered to Houjin, but he did not expect Sun Degong to be instigated by Li Yongfang, who had already surrendered to Houjin.

The Ming army's three-way reinforcements encountered the Jin army near Shaling. Liu Qu led his troops to fight fiercely with the Jin soldiers. They fought three battles in a row, and the Ming army had a slight upper hand.At this time, Sun Degong stepped forward and shot a feint, and shouted that the army was defeated. He and the participating general Bao Chengxian led the troops to turn around and run away.Ge Mingchang, Li Peiguo, Zhou Wuchang and others surrendered gold after being captured in this battle, and it was only then that they realized that their every move had already been known to the Jin army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Qu, who was fighting the enemy, retreated hastily, fled to Shaling, fell off his horse and was killed.Qi Bingzhong fought sick and was shot twice with three arrows. With the support of his servants, he escaped from the siege and died of serious injuries on the way to escape.Sun Degong ran all the way to Guangning, yelling that the Jin army had approached the city. The city of Guangning exploded.Wang Huazhen had just woken up at this time, and was reading documents, when Jiang Chaodong kicked open the door of the bedroom, without any explanation, he ran away with Wang Huazhen on his back.

After the Jin army defeated the three-way reinforcements, they continued to besiege Xiping Fort. Luo always maintained a consistent style, responding to Jin's persuasion with cannons and stones, and dealt a heavy blow to the Jin soldiers, who suffered many casualties.Later, the gunpowder and arrows and stones were all exhausted, and the Jin army took the opportunity to erect a ladder to attack the city. At the last moment, Luo Yiguan worshiped the palace and committed suicide to die for his country.

After Luo Yiguan's death, the [-] soldiers in the city continued to resist, fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy. In the end, they all died in battle and one surrendered.At this time, Xiong Tingbi and his troops arrived at Luyang Station. Hearing the news of Wang Huazhen's defeat, counselor Xing Shenyan asked for quick rescue, but was stopped.

Wang Huazhen fled to Luyang Station and met Xiong Tingbi. He cried bitterly at Xiong Tingbi, but Xiong Tingbi took pleasure in his misfortune and sprinkled salt on Wang Huazhen's wound. ah?"

Wang Huazhen was ashamed, but he did not lose his mind. He suggested that Xiong Tingbi immediately send troops to defend Ningyuan and Qiantun, but Xiong Tingbi said, "Hehe, it's too late. We can only take the refugees back to Shanhaiguan."

At this time, Gao Bangzuo, who participated in politics, arrived and reported to Xiong Tingbi that the Jin army had not entered Guangning City. Guangning was still an empty city.Gao Bangzuo said, since you can't go back to garrison yourself, can you lend me 5000 troops to garrison there? Xiong Tingbi still refused and insisted on withdrawing into the pass.

He gave Wang Huazhen 5000 troops and ordered him to be in charge of the rear of the palace and burn the grain and grass. He brought his deputy Gao Chao and Hu Jiadong to retreat into the pass first.Gao Bangzuo couldn't bear to throw away the great rivers and mountains for nothing, but he could do nothing. He refused to enter the pass even if he died.

So far, the Guangning War came to an end with Xiong Tingbi giving up all of Ming's land outside the pass.Although the two involved were executed by the Ming court in the end, the performance of the two in this battle made future generations sigh: Who is right and who is wrong?

Wang Huazhen insisted on fighting, but at a critical moment, he was as timid as a mouse and fled at the wind. However, he was brave enough to do things and was aggressive. At the time when everyone regarded Liaodong as a fearful way, it was really commendable.

On the other hand, Xiong Tingbi was brave in civil wars, timid in foreign wars, brave in literary battles, and timid in military battles. He himself stationed in Shanhaiguan in the rear, and had no desire to recover lost land and save the Han people. The safety of the Han people is used as a stone to attack the political enemy Wang Huazhen.After Wang Huazhen's defeat, he took pleasure in misfortune, obstructed Xing Shenyan's rescue of Wang Huazhen, and refused Gao Bangzuo to return to Guangning Kongcheng. It can be said that he ignored the country for his own selfishness.

Ten years have passed, and the parties involved in the "controversy of Jingfu" have long since gone to hell, and those bloody Han people have also been massacred, and everything has been irreparable.If there is anything left in this war, it is probably the bones of Zhou Wuchang, the soldiers of the Ming army and the people who are still scattered in the land of Liaodong.

Zhou Wuchang and the others also hated Sun Degong, but the other party is now the third-class Mei Lezhangjing of the Great Jin Kingdom, so what can they do if they hate him.All they can do is to be a monk and strike the clock for a day, and honestly guard the Liaodong coastal defense for Dajin.They didn't even dare to think about the idea of ​​running away. They had already experienced the fighting power of the Eight Banners Army, and no one wanted to confront those murderous demons again.

I have been stationed here at Wanghai Fort for more than four years. During the four years, the weather was calm. At first, I hoped that maybe the Ming army from Dongjiang would come ashore to rescue them. less than one.

Ten years is enough to wipe out any unwillingness in anyone's heart. Now, Zhou Wuchang is going to treat this Wanghai Fort as the boss to death. After all, King Khan has kindly carried them into the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty and let them continue to serve as soldiers. Isn't it much better than those ahas who are slaves to cattle and horses? [

Li Qianzong also sympathized with these old brothers, and selected some women from Ahari to be their wives. The daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy for him the year before last, and Zhou Wuchang had no more thoughts. It's hard to say whether there are relatives in the distant hometown. I heard that there are bandits in the customs right now, and the age is not good.

When he was free, Zhou Wuchang liked to go fishing, but he didn't dare to go too far away. After all, the sea was still dominated by the Ming army, so he only cast a few nets in the near sea, and he would return with a full load every time.Sending larger and rare fish to Jinzhou can always be exchanged for the approval of Master Manzhou and Mr. Qian, and sometimes some wine and food will be rewarded. This makes Zhou Wuchang very satisfied. If life is like this What more can I ask for?

Yesterday morning, Chief Qian in the city sent someone to tell Zhou Wuchang that a high-ranking Manchurian official from Jinzhou City would come to Wanghaibao the day after tomorrow, saying that he was going to welcome a surrendered general from the Ming Dynasty.The Manchurian gentlemen took this matter very seriously, and asked Zhou Wuchang to clean up the bunker, so that the Manchurian gentlemen would not be disgusted when they came here.Xu knew that Zhou Wuchang was also in trouble here, and the city even sent people to help. Hundreds of cattle and sheep were sent, and a lot of gongs and drums were also sent.Today Li Peichang personally came to make an inspection tour, praising Zhou Wuchang for doing a good job, which made Zhou Wuchang very happy.No, in order to welcome the Manchurian gentlemen, he took out all his belongings, and even sent his daughter-in-law to help. If Mr. Qian is not satisfied with this, Zhou Wuchang will have to take it. Head hit the door.

In the evening, a group of cavalry from the Eight Banners came to the city. Zhou Wuchang thought it was a Mongolian soldier, but he didn't think the opponent was a real Manchurian. The leader was Zuolin Barla, so scared that Zhou Wuchang hurried forward and kowtowed.But Balla ignored him, led people to inspect the fort, and then asked Zhou Wuchang to tidy up the place for the Manchurian cavalry to live in.

It was a good thing that Zhou Wuchang didn't even dare to think about the good things that the Manchurian gentlemen lived in his small castle for one night. He hurriedly led someone to vacate the best house in the castle, and packed his own room to invite Mrs. Barla check in.

After the good wine and dishes were brought in, the Manchurian lords had been making a fuss for a long time, each of them was drunk, and Zhou Wuchang hurriedly sent someone to bring hot water in for the Manchurian lords to wash. After being settled, I returned to the house where my daughter-in-law lived to rest with excitement and happiness.

Before dawn the next day, Zhou Wuchang was awakened by the movement outside. When he came out, he saw that the two generals in the city, Ge Mingchang and Li Peiguo, were talking with a Manchurian general on horseback. Beside them were three Han officials.Outside the fort, hundreds of Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry were standing on horseback waiting for orders.
