Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1185 The Battle of the Three Kings ([-])

The city of Jinan was already in chaos. Wang Zhongqing led more than 100 personal guards and entered the governor's office directly. ··”

When Wang Zhongqing and his group came in, it was originally against the rules, but at this time, no one stopped them, and no one asked them. More than 100 of them were allowed to break into the backyard directly.

The backyard is where Governor Fang Dayou lives. After entering, it is even more chaotic than the front.

Everyone saw servants and maidservants running around with their things in their arms, carriages parked in the middle of the yard, and the packers loaded boxes of belongings into the carts. It was obvious that Fang Dayou was about to run away.

Fang Dayou had been a feudal official in Shandong for nearly ten years, and his family fortune was huge. Wang Zhongqing stood in the courtyard, glanced at each other with several cronies around him, and there was a stern look on his face.

These bastards, usually searching for places, want to escape when things happen, they are nothing compared to him.

He at least thought about his subordinates and found a way out for them, but Fang Dayou only cared about himself.

"Wang Junmen, why are you here?" Fang Dayou came out of the study, and was ordering two servants to put away a pair of jade Guanyin, when he suddenly saw Wang Zhongqing from the courtyard leading more than 100 people in, he couldn't help coming forward, and asked a little embarrassedly road.

He heard that the vanguard of the Ming army was about to reach Jinan, so he hurriedly ordered his family to pack up, but forgot to notify Wang Zhongqing and others.

Wang Zhongqing narrowed his eyes and looked around. The finance department had installed forty or fifty carts, but he didn't answer. He pointed to the cart and asked, "Master Futai, are you planning to leave Jinan?"

"Hehe~" Fang Dayou laughed and explained: "The current situation is also clear to Wang Junmen. It's not that I don't believe in the army. It's just that the Ming army is powerful and there are too few troops in Jinan. It is impossible to stop the Ming army. I persuade the army The door also hurried back to clean up, and escorted Ben Fu to Hebei to temporarily avoid the Ming army's advance! The military gate can rest assured, when we arrive in Hebei, Xiang Yin, Benfu from the military gate, will come to find a way, how about it?"

Wang Zhongqing failed in the ambush at the mouth of the river. After the Ming army came ashore, all the provinces in Shandong surrendered. Fang Dayou was already terrified. He knew that Shandong had no troops to stop him, and he also knew that Dorgon had no time to save him.

He had no way to deal with the Ming army coming from the east, so he made a very wise decision to leave Jinan quickly, lest he be surrounded by the Ming army and lose his head in the end.

He had already figured it out, judging from the current situation, the Qing Dynasty might not be able to survive, and he planned to abandon his official position and settle down in another place after he arrived in Hebei.

Over the years, he has searched a lot, enough for several generations to live a wealthy life.

After hearing his words, Wang Zhongqing suddenly sneered, "Lord Futai, I'm afraid we can't just leave like this!"

Fang Dayou brought his family members along, and he could leave as soon as he said, but Wang Zhongqing's subordinates had already taken root in Shandong, but they didn't mean to leave immediately.

While speaking, several cronies behind him had already pressed their knives and forced Fang Dayou. The latter's face suddenly changed, he backed up again and again, and panicked, "Wang Junmen, what are you going to do?"

"Ask Futai to borrow something, just to keep brother safe!" Wang Zhongqing smiled cruelly.

He suddenly pulled out the saber. Fang Dayou was terrified and turned around to run, but his way was blocked by soldiers. At this moment, there was a muffled "poof", and the saber entered his body. Wang Zhongqing had already chased him up from behind. Fang Dayou was stabbed through with a knife.

Just like Man Dazhuang's analysis, Wang Zhongqing is a person without loyalty, what he has to do is to adapt to the current situation and live well.

As a rebel general who surrendered first and then surrendered to the Qing, it is not surprising that he did such a thing, otherwise he would not have escaped the two changes in the north.

Fang Dayou glanced down, the tip of the knife protruding from his abdomen, blood gushing out along with the blood groove, his face contorted for a while.Wang Zhongqing kicked him on the back and pulled out the knife with his strength. Fang Dayou immediately went limp and threw himself to the ground.

Wang Zhongqing didn't look at the corpse, but held the knife in his hand and shouted sharply: "Kill them all, and send all these vehicles to the mansion in this town!"

In the courtyard, before Fang Dayou's family members and Bao Yi could react from the scene just now, the Qing army who entered drew their knives and slashed and killed them. They scattered in a panic and ran away screaming.

Outside the city, at noon that day, the vanguard of the Ming army had already arrived in the east of Jinan City. Man Dazhuang led his own soldiers to watch the city. When he saw the Qing army standing on the top of the city, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The Yellow River was in a dry season, and he couldn't find so many trackers for a while, and the big ships couldn't get in. Otherwise, he would be able to bombard Jinan directly by sailing in with his warships.

Although there are not many Qing troops in Jinan City, he does not have any equipment.If you wait for the cannon to arrive, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time.

It was just to let Ma Guanghui from Xuzhou know that the fact that the back road was copied would have no effect on the overall situation. The key was that the news would reach Heluo. The army's plan to wipe out the main force of the enemy in the Central Plains fell through.

"Look, Commander!" Just as Man Dazhuang was contemplating, the general beside him suddenly pointed in the direction of Jinan City and exclaimed.

Man Dazhuang hurriedly looked up and saw that the gate of Jinan City was opened, and dozens of horses galloped out, coming towards them. He hurriedly ordered, "Be careful!"

The Ming army immediately clenched their swords, and after a while, the opponent had already arrived, but they seemed to have seen the intention of the Ming army's defense. In order to prevent the Ming army from being overwhelmed, they did not light up their weapons, did not hold their bows and arrows, and showed no malicious.

The first rider, under the watchful eyes of Man Dazhuang, stopped fifty paces away, then got off the horse, and went forward alone holding a wooden box, bowed down in front of Man Dazhuang, and lifted the wooden box above his head , Said loudly: "Fang Dayou is ignorant of current affairs, trying to resist the heavenly soldiers in vain, the sinner Wang Zhongqing, has already beheaded him, and is willing to raise Jinan and surrender to Ming Dynasty!"

Fang Dayou was really unlucky, he had no intention of defending Jinan at all, but Wang Zhongqing had to show his resistance to dedicating the city, so he could only use his head.

Man Dazhuang was taken aback, Qian Yifeng who was next to him hurriedly asked someone to take the wooden box, opened it, and found that it was indeed a bloody human head, no one in the crowd recognized it, so he had to ask someone to put it away first.

"It's a good thing that General Wang can surrender to my Ming Dynasty, but I don't know what conditions are there?" Man Dazhuang responded and asked immediately.

Wang Zhongqing immediately replied: "The criminal general has two requests, one is not to insult and kill the surrender, and the other is to ensure the safety of the criminal general and his subordinates' family members and property."

Man Dazhuang looked at Qian Yifeng, who nodded. Man Dazhuang immediately laughed and got off his horse, and helped Wang Zhongqing up, "Okay, if General Wang can abandon the dark and turn to the bright, the court will definitely reward him."

Man Dazhuang originally wanted to take down the city and skin Wang Zhongqing, but he didn't expect this fellow to be so knowledgeable about current affairs. As soon as his army arrived, Wang Zhongqing offered the city directly, leaving him no excuse to punish him.

At this time, Man Dazhuang could only accept his surrender, but he also kept an eye out, and instead of entering the city rashly, he let Wang Zhongqing lead his troops out of the city to surrender.

On the afternoon of the same day, Wang Zhongqing personally led more than 4000 Qing troops out of the city to surrender. Man Dazhuang accepted the surrender in person, while Qian Yifeng, the supervisor, on behalf of the imperial court, appeased the surrendered troops, promised to treat them kindly, and would never kill them indiscriminately.

For the Ming army, Wang Zhongqing's surrender was just icing on the cake, but it was not meaningless.

The Qing Army's Shandong General Brigade dedicated Jinan, so the Ming Army basically didn't have to fight other counties in Shandong.

The Ming army occupied Jinan, and the battle in Shandong can be said to be a nail in the coffin. Ma Guanghui will become the turtle in the urn, and his defeat is just around the corner.

It was night, Man Dazhuang and Qian Yifeng hosted a banquet in the camp, firstly to celebrate their achievements, and secondly to learn more about Shandong from Wang Zhongqing.

Halfway through eating, drinking and chatting, a general came to the account and reported to Man Dazhuang: "Captain, the patrolling brothers caught a spy in the south of Jinan City. According to the account, he was ordered by Ma Guanghui to come Jinan calls for help!"
