Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Zhangdefu City is a classical Chinese city, and the buildings inside are all civil structures. Once ignited, the fire will soon spread to the entire block. In addition, the weather is dry and dry in winter. Although there is snow, it cannot stop the fire at all. of burning.Therefore, the rocket launched by Xia Jun quickly triggered dozens of fire points in Anyang City.

When the fire in the city just ignited, the Qing army was still trying to put out the fire, but at this time the Xia army's rockets were still shooting into the city.Since the rocket itself has a certain lethality, the Qing army was too busy to take care of itself for a while. Even though the Green Banner soldiers and militiamen risked their lives to fight the fire under the pressure of the chief officer of the Eight Banners, the fire started to burn again before it was extinguished here.

When Xia Jun fired all five thousand rockets, the city was completely out of control, and the raging fire engulfed the entire city. Except for the blank area near the city wall that had been demolished for war purposes, everywhere in Anyang City was burning.The large amount of oxygen consumed even formed a terrible cyclone, which sucked in nearby unfixed objects one after another, and the Qing army and militiamen who escaped in time became the combustion accelerant of human flesh

Countless Qing troops stationed in the city ran desperately towards the city wall. Countless people fell and were trampled to death. However, there were too many Qing troops in the city, and the fire protection zone within a hundred feet of the city wall was already full of people. , As a last resort, we can only continue to squeeze towards the city wall.Just at this moment, the pillars supporting the enemy building that had been ignited before could no longer bear the weight of the enemy building itself, and collapsed, crushing hundreds of Qing troops who managed to escape from the fire scene under the eyes of everyone.

Some of the green flag soldiers began to clamor, and soon clashed with the flag soldiers. The two sides fought against the backdrop of the sky full of fire.

Soon, the brawl turned into a fight, and the officials at all levels could not suppress it. Seeing the battle gradually spread from the city wall to the city wall, the officers and soldiers of the Xia army who were admiring the fire in the city were surprised and applauded again and again.

At the beginning, it was the battle between the green flag soldiers and the flag soldiers, and then the green flag soldiers also fought among themselves for the position to avoid the fire.Everything seemed impulsive and disorderly, as if the animal nature of human beings overwhelmed human nature in an instant, and only by constantly swinging knives could he survive among the beasts.

The fire burned all night, and so did the fighting that sparked a civil war.After dawn, the order in the city was slowly restored, and Yin Xiang, who was being protected by the guards, also came forward.Under the condition that this elder brother went out in person, the remnant soldiers would gather up, but the number of surviving soldiers was less than 5, and a full [-] soldiers disappeared in the fire last night and the chaos after the fire.

For the Qing army, what made it even worse was that the grain hoarded in the city no longer existed. Although the fire did not burn down the stone granary, the high temperature boiled the grain into rice, and there was no way to preserve it.The armory is the same, the fire did not burn it from the outside, but the high temperature caused the gunpowder stored inside to explode, thus destroying everything; the well water in the city was also polluted, and countless people had to jump into the well to escape because it was too late to get out of the fire zone , but was cooked raw

There was no food, no drink, no ordnance, and more importantly, what Yinxiang saw from the faces of the remaining Qing army officers and soldiers was timidity and exhaustion, which made him sigh involuntarily.In another time and space, Yinxiang was known as the "King of Heroes", with a heroic temperament, which is also considered to be the case now, so after calculating the time, he finally made a decision.

"Beg surrender?" Sun Yu looked coldly at the envoy of the Qing army who was standing in front of him with his fists clasped, with a mocking smile on his lips. "It's been more than seventy days, why don't you continue to resist?"

"My lord general, the reason why our army insists on not surrendering is not that we don't know that the situation of the war is already unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty, but to preserve the last bit of strength of the Qing Dynasty." Sun Yu understood the meaning, and the so-called last strength obviously did not refer to the lone army in the city. "It has been more than two months now, and those who should have escaped have already escaped, and those who cannot escape should have been wiped out by your side. Therefore, in order to save the lives of the soldiers in the city, Brother Thirteen decided to open the city." The messenger tried to respond neither humble nor overbearing. "It's just that there is a condition for our army to surrender. Please, the general must ensure the lives of our soldiers. As for Brother Thirteen, he doesn't care about life or death."

Hearing this, Sun Yu took a closer look at the other party, and then laughed loudly: "You are so brave, I didn't expect that it was Brother Shisan who came in person, come here, hurry up and ask Master Bei to take a seat."

The emissary was Yinxiang himself, and he didn't think it was any surprise that the other party recognized him. Seeing Sun Yuci's seat at this moment, he sat down unceremoniously. Regarding this, Sun Yupi asked with a smile: "Thirteen Lord, aren't you afraid that I will send troops to attack Anyang City after detaining you now?"

"This general, you could have taken Anyang without a single soldier, but you want to cut off the life of everyone in the city by adding superfluous things. Is it possible that you will not be afraid of my Qing generals' poor rats coming back?" Yinxiang responded as steadily as Mount Tai. road. "Or does your lord think that you Xia Jun were not born by your parents, so you don't need to care at all?"

"Master Beizi has a good tongue." Sun Yu stated calmly. "It was a night of chaos, and it can be seen clearly outside the city. The tens of thousands of panicked troops, I don't know how long they will be our heavenly army." Speaking of this, Sun Yu sneered. "Of course, it's a good thing that no more soldiers are killed or wounded, but Brother Thirteen, isn't he afraid that the officer will turn his face afterwards?"

"Are you saying that you are going to kill and surrender?" Yinxiang also laughed. "It's just right, it just lets my soldiers of the Eight Banners know that there is no way out to beg for surrender from your court, and even if they die, they will die on the battlefield."

"Brother Thirteen is too confident." Sun Yu shook his head. "If tens of thousands of people are killed, they will be killed. How can the news spread? Even if it spreads to your ears, it is estimated that your court no longer exists." In order to completely eliminate Yinxiang's remaining share, Sun Yu If you are unruly, tell the truth. "To be honest, brother Thirteen, the two armies you were counting on have been destroyed one after another. Your fourth brother Yinzhen and your eldest brother Yinti have successively conferred heads. Even the city of Beijing was restored two months ago. Your father, Emperor Kangxi Self-immolation in the Forbidden City, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty is dead!"

Yinxiang already knew what Sun Yu said from the leaflets that Xia Jun sprinkled into Anyang City.It's just that he always thought that this was Xia Jun's trick to shake the morale of his own army, and he didn't really believe it.But at this time, when he heard Sun Yu mentioning it again in front of him seriously, his face finally turned pale, and his eyes fixed on Sun Yu's face, trying to see a trace of fraud on the other's face, but It's a pity that only Sun Yu's triumphant face caught Yinxiang's eyes.

"The Qing Dynasty is dead! The Qing Dynasty is dead! No, it's impossible, it's impossible!" Yinxiang's eyes became firm. "Even if Huang Ama committed suicide and died for the country, even if the prince and Yongjun king were wiped out, the Qing Dynasty would still have their homeland outside the relevant borders. Besides, didn't you catch Yinhu and Yinyu? As long as they are still alive, The Qing Dynasty still has a chance to make a comeback.”

"So that the thirteenth brother knows that our army is already on the bank of the Liaohe River." As for the escape of Yinhu that Yinxiang said, Sun Yu knew about Yinhu's escape from the defected Hebei governor Yide early in the morning, so it is not surprising . "It was only because of the cold weather that I didn't immediately enter Fengtian City, and Brother Shisan knew how many troops the Qing army had outside the pass. Brother Thirteen thought that a mere tens of thousands of people would be able to hold back the number of our troops." One hundred thousand tigers?"

"It can't be stopped, it can't be stopped, it's not just a few words, the outside of the customs is vast, there are 10,000+ people, it doesn't matter if there are tens of thousands of people, it's like pepper noodles, it's just an inconspicuous group. Let's talk about it again." Yinxiang shot back without showing any weakness. "Several 10 people went north, does your court have such food support?"

"Food?" Sun Yu laughed loudly. "What I lack the most is not food. Yinxiang, you probably don't know that there are 10,000+ tons of food shipped in from Siam, Annan, Vietnam, Japan, and North Korea a year, and you can't eat it all, let alone Thanks to Kangxi, the outside of the pass is not barren now, there are so many states and counties nearby to supply food, what else do our troops have to worry about?"

Of course Yinxiang knew that the ton is China's new unit of weight, one ton is equal to one hundred stones, and 10,000+ tons is tens of millions of stones. This number made him very suspicious, but he didn't start from this aspect, he just asked: " Low grain hurts the peasants, and the noble court acts perversely, I am afraid that Guozuo will not last too long."

Hearing Yinxiang's ridicule of the Huaxia government, Sun Yu immediately lowered his face: "Yinxiang, I won't talk to you any more. If you want to surrender, that's fine. I can guarantee that you won't kill and surrender afterwards, but the court has a decree for The Manchus and the traitors are going to be liquidated, and those people in Anyang City will have to be punished for several years of hard labor. If you can accept this, you can just lead them to surrender. If you can’t accept it, you can go back and lead them to continue to resist. It’s good to catch them all.”

Yinxiang looked at Sun Yu in surprise: "What? Now that I know the identity of Elder Brother Ben, you still let me go back?"

"It's no big deal to let you go back. Anyang City can't escape. If the Holy Majesty knows about it, he won't blame me for colluding with the enemy." Sun Yucheng said with confidence. "What's more, if I really want to attack Anyang City, how much extra effort can I spend? By the way, Brother Thirteen, you have to lead them out alive, otherwise you don't have to stay at all."

On the third day of November in the 14th year of Wucheng in China (the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), the remnants of the Qing army in Zhangde Prefecture surrendered to Sun Yu, the leader of the Xia army, under the leadership of Yinxiang.Immediately, Zheng Kezang gave instructions that more than [-] disarmed Qing troops were sent to the Taipingfu Iron Mine, Qiongzhou Shilu, and Sanya mining areas in batches; Yinxiang himself was sent to Taiyuan to persuade the guard Polpen to open the city.

Twenty days later, Yinxiang arrived in Taiyuan, and then entered the city to surrender.Governor of Shanxi and Yanmen in the Qing Dynasty, Polpen, then committed suicide in the governor's office in Shanxi. Yinxiang led the governor of Shanxi, A Xitai, and the chief envoy, Tu Yun, to come down to Manchu Eight Banners, more than 20 civil and military personnel from the Han Army Banner, and 8000 remaining defenders in the city. The Xia army's siege troops surrendered, and the whole territory of Shanxi was somewhat recovered.
