Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1143 Reclothes

The chaos in Datong lasted all night. Geng Tang left the city early to change the situation in the city. Jiang Xiang, who had planned to wait for Jiang Youguang to lead the troops into the city, had to start the anti-Qing incident in advance.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiang carried out strict surveillance on the city, and Datong was Jiang Xiang's lair. Although he was in a hurry, there were no mistakes. He was arrested and annihilated.

In Xingyuan, the governor of Xingyuan, Niu Lu Wu Erniu of the Red Armored Han Banner voluntarily surrendered to the Datong soldiers who were monitoring him, and persuaded the bannermen in Xingyuan to surrender. Ding Du stayed in the camp and killed more than 200 people. Niu Lu and Zhou Tiebin were also beaten into sieves by random guns, and the rest became prisoners.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, but the streets were empty, and the people in the city were still in fear, so everyone hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. Only teams of patrolling and hunting soldiers were left on the streets Running, the entire Datong revealed a tense atmosphere.

Now all the gates of the city are closed, and no one can leave the city. All the Manchu and Qing officials in the city were asked to come to the lobby of the General Military Mansion, and some were dragged out of the house by the soldiers.

In the lobby of the General Military Mansion, the officials were in a state of panic, and even fools guessed that the sky was about to change.

Those who were notified last night that Jiang Xiang was going to mutiny but did not leave the city were fighting with each other with pale faces.

Two officials of the Qing court quietly approached each other. Wang Jiazhen, the prefect of Shuozhou, said to Song Ziyu, the governor of Shuozhou, "I got the notice to retreat last night. I had already left the post house and got into the carriage. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden commotion in the city. Jiang Xiang led troops to block the south gate, but couldn't get out, and was brought here by the soldiers as soon as he returned to the post house. Alas! The success fell short, and he almost escaped."

"Me too!" Song Ziyu said with a wry smile, "I went to the streets near the south gate, but when Jiang Xiang led the cavalry to kill him, I had to go back first. Someone must have informed me!"

After Ning Wan and I arrived in Datong, in order to instruct Datong Prefecture to levy more money and food, I called officials from all counties and prefectures to Datong.

"Damn snitch!" Wang Jiazhen gritted her teeth.

At this time, Yang Kui, the judge on the side, heard the words of the two, and said angrily: "It's fine if there are internal thieves who report, but the key point is that no one reported. I told Jiang Xiang about my doubts, and we were all blocked in the city!"

"What?" After hearing this, the two of them had motherly expressions on their faces, but they didn't expect to be tricked by their own people.They were too wronged to encounter such a scammer.

"Hey! In fact, Jiang Xiang holds the military power in Datong and is at odds with the court. Sooner or later, there will be a mutiny. It's just that Governor Ning is confused and too confident. Instead of guarding against him, he sent him to the door and forced Jiang Xiang to send troops, killing us all. Yes! If Governor Ning had been more careful, we would not have fallen into the hands of Jiang Xiang!" Yang Kui regretted.

Song Ziyu panicked: "Be careful what you say, watch your head!"

"Whether we can live through today is still a question. What else can we not say now?" Yang Kui is Yang Zhenwei's cousin, and he has already broken his can.

Everyone was discussing in panic when a group of soldiers suddenly entered the hall and forced them back to the two sides to watch. All the officials lowered their heads, not daring to resist in the slightest.

At this time, Jiang Xiang, who was in armor, walked from the back hall to the main hall. He took off his helmet and put it on the case. After a while, several generals entered the hall.

"Marshal, except for those who surrendered and were captured, all the bannermen will be given heads!" Gaoding's armor was stained with blood, and he rushed into the lobby to report loudly. Just after he finished speaking, Niu Lu, a bannerman behind him, also entered the lobby , standing behind.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, 300 bannermen, [-] people surrendered, [-] people were killed, and more than [-] people were captured by our army. The Qing soldiers in the city have all been wiped out, and most of the city officials are here!" Niu Guangtian reported.

After he finished speaking, Wu Erniu hurried forward and bowed down: "The villain pays homage to the commander. Now that the battle is over, the villain is here to pay his respects. I am willing to do my best for the commander and serve as the vanguard of the army!"

Jiang Xiang glanced at him and asked, "Are you the Niu Lu who surrendered with Xingyuan Banner last night?"

"It's the villain!" Wu Erniu hurriedly kowtowed.

The 300 banners in the city were originally a problem, but Wu Erniu surrendered, allowing the [-] people in Xingyuan to surrender without a fight, and prepared the Datong officers and soldiers patrolling outside the barracks, annihilating the [-] banners in the camp. It saved Jiang Xiang a lot of trouble.

"You've done a good job! Just follow my commander. This time the merits and demerits will be offset. No matter what you have done in the past, it will be over. If you make more contributions in the future, this commander will definitely reward you!" Jiang Xiang waved his hand and said.

Wu Erniu thanked him, and then got up. Hu Weizong waited for Jiang Xiang to finish speaking, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Ning Wan?"

Gao Ding, Niu Guangtian, and others couldn't answer, and finally Wu Erniu reported: "Report to the commander, after Ning my bastard, let me stay and cover him out of the city, and he will go with Chen Xiangsheng, the secret agent at the sticky pole." South City and left."

"And the spy leader at the sticky pole?" Hu Weizong raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

At this time Jiang Xiang said: "The chief rudder can rest assured, the south gate has only been opened once, and only Geng Tang escaped. After Ning Wan, I and the man named Chen Xiangsheng are still in the city. The commander has already sent people around. Capture them, unless they have wings, they will never escape from the city!"

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall. Jiang Xiang looked up and saw a group of soldiers escorting several people, punching and kicking them into the hall.

One of them was tied up by the soldiers, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. On his bald scalp, the back of his head was dripping with blood. There was a piece of flesh missing where there should have been a rat-tail braid. It is unknown who pulled out his braid directly.

Isn't this Ning Wan me?The officials on both sides couldn't help gasping, and turned their heads away, not daring to watch this scene.

Although Jiang Xiang is a warlord, in order to gain a firm foothold in Datong, he is more protective of the people in Datong. The Jiang family also manages Datong as their old nest.

As soon as this guy came to Datong, he asked the officials of the Qing government to forcibly requisition food and grass, which had already angered the public, so the soldiers of Datong were very ruthless. After Ning Wan, I was almost kicked into the inner hall.

I have worked for the Manchus for more than 30 years, and I usually act like a domineering person. When I was treated like this, I was beaten and scolded.

At this time, he looked up and saw Jiang Xiang, and immediately struggled forward, fell to his knees, panting heavily, and begged hurriedly: "Jiang Junmen, the sinner is willing to surrender, the sinner is willing to surrender! Jiang The army gate let the criminals live, and the sinners are willing to appease Shanxi for the army gate and help the army gate!"

Seeing this, the upright officials standing on both sides couldn't help showing embarrassment. They thought, Ning Wan, I am the governor of Shanxi, a person trusted by the regent, so I must be loyal to the Qing Dynasty no matter what!Even if you don't want to die, you should close your eyes and say nothing, and show a non-cooperative attitude. I don't want this fellow to see Jiang Xiang, his legs will go limp, and he will beg for his life and surrender.

Some people immediately regretted it, secretly thinking that Ning Wan, I can be the governor, and I still have some virtues. They all regretted that when Jiang Xiang came out just now, he was not as decisive as Ning Wan, and immediately knelt down and begged for his life.

Jiang Xiang looked at Ning and me, feeling happy in his heart. He has been subjected to the Qing court's bird anger for ten years, and now he can finally vent it unscrupulously. For a while, he couldn't help laughing, "Ning Futai wants to help me so much. How about I borrow your head to show my determination to fight the Qing Dynasty and save the people?"

After Ning finished, my face turned pale when I heard it.

Jiang Xiang had already planned to take down Taiyuan, and asked Ning Wanwo to surrender, which would instead make Taiyuan vigilant. For him, Ning Wanwo dead is more useful than alive.

After finishing speaking, he scanned the two sides of the hall again, "One here counts as one, and tomorrow they will all be pulled out of the city to sacrifice the flags, so as to boost the morale of the army!"

The Qing court officials on both sides didn't expect Jiang Xiang to be so ruthless and wanted to kill them all, and their bodies trembled like they were sifting chaff.

In the early September of the fourth year of Ming Gongzhi and the tenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, within the Ming Dynasty, when Chu Wangyan, Lu Wang Yihai, and Guo Xing successfully negotiated overseas in Ningbo, Jiang Xiang, the general of Qing Datong, cut his braids and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Datong Town. .

On that day, nearly ten thousand Datong soldiers lined up in the south of the city. Jiang Xiang built a high platform. Ning Wanwo, the governor of Cundish Qing Dynasty, killed more than ten Datong officials and captured more than [-] people from the Eight Banners.

At the time of the execution, there were as many as ten thousand soldiers and civilians onlookers, all clapping their hands and applauding. The whole city of Datong cut their braids and restored the clothes of the Han family.
