Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 651 Ten Days
Shi Kefa originally had a glimmer of hope. To the south, Ying Tian continued to mobilize troops since Song Qingshu left, and now there are almost a hundred thousand troops in the southern province. To the north, he didn't know that Liu Liangzuo had surrendered. To the west , he didn't even know that Liu Zeqing was also on the verge of surrender.

However, what frightened him was that on the 22nd, Liu Liangzuo blatantly appeared at the base of the city, and together with Li Qifeng, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Town, and Gao Qi, the supervisor of the army, persuaded him to surrender. Liu Liangzuo's appearance broke Shi Kefa's last hope for the three Jiangbei towns. .

There are 20 horses in the three towns of Jiangbei, which cost the court millions of dollars a year. When it comes time to use troops, it is over before the fight.

But despite the despair, Shi Kefa's integrity was finally revealed. Standing at the top of the city, he sternly rejected Liu Liangzuo's persuasion to surrender.

On the 23rd, Hu Shangyou and Han Shangliang, the Sichuan generals in the city, left the city to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but Shi Kefa did not prohibit them.

On the 24th, after persuading them to surrender again to no avail, Duoduo gave the order to start a full-scale siege!It can be said that the Sichuan soldiers who had just surrendered were sent to the front line to attack the city. Driven by Jiannu, tens of thousands of Nanming soldiers carried ladders and attacked Yangzhou City all over the mountains and plains. On the top, the layers of Fran cannons also began to spit out a terrifying sea of ​​flames downwards.

In history, the tragedy of Yangzhou is incomparable. However, there is nothing remarkable about the massacre of Jiannu and the battle of defending the city. , as soon as Jiannu's Hongyi cannon arrived in the afternoon, the whole battle situation changed.

The Qing army's Hongyi cannon weighing more than 1 kilograms is equivalent to the Hongyi cannon of the begging army about [-] kilograms, but it is also a heavy artillery that destroys the city. One shot seemed to make the whole city tremble, and the appearance of the Hongyi cannon made the morale of the defenders of Yangzhou City drop to the extreme.

However, Shi Kefa did not directly command, and delegated the command to the staff, and wrote the suicide note. Shi Kefa has been waiting in the Yamen, waiting for the fate to come.

On the evening of the 25th, Jiannu's Hongyi cannon blew up and collapsed the relatively weak southern city wall. Song Qingshu once sowed a sum of money to repair the city wall, but he didn't know whose pocket it went into. Now the Yangzhou defenders are reaping the consequences.Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier, died on the spot. Along the city wall of the tower defense, Jiannu poured into the city of Yangzhou like the water of the Yellow River.

It is said that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups. There are still a few good people around Shi Kefa. Shouting to kill the thieves, Liu Liangzuo personally went to persuade him to surrender, and was shot back by random arrows several times in a row. Finally, the Qing army who became angry and set fire to the building. Dozens of people died heroically, and no one surrendered.

The imperial envoy He Gang also brought a few boy servants, shouted to expel the captives, and rushed into the rushing crowd of slaves, and was immediately dismembered by knives and died heroically.

Yangzhou is too big and prosperous. The Qing army who broke through the city wall ran along the main road for more than 20 minutes before they surrounded the governor's office. Shi Kefa did not kill himself, facing the surging Jian Nu, he sat calmly in the lobby.

After all, he is an old boss, and for more than a year, Shi Kefa has often stood by their side, fighting for the interests of the three towns in Jiangbei. Seeing this scene now, even a domineering warlord like Liu Liangzuo would feel a little ashamed , clenched his fists heavily at the hall.

"Master!"

Seeing that Shi Kefa ignored him, his torch-like eyes just stared back, and followed behind Liu Liangzuo, a Jurchen aristocrat in a long robe and mantle, embroidered with blue dragon patterns on his body, and a hat inlaid with jade melon skin. Walking in, obviously, he was very proud of having captured the important town of Jiangbei in Nanming in just two days.

Looking at Shi Kefa, Duoduo turned his head and muttered arrogantly in Manchu, and Liu Liangzuo next to him immediately acted as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Supervisor! This is the master of Prince Yu Duoduo! Supervisor, the imperial court has no morals, treacherous sycophants are rampant, and that faint king is still addicted to wine and sex all day long. You are worthy of the court when you are old. The master said that he appreciates you very much. If you are willing to surrender to me Daqing, he is willing to recommend you as a great scholar, and raise the flag, the white flag!"

"Hmph, Prince Yu!"

After hearing this, Shi Kefa had a sneer on his face, stood up abruptly, and laughed mockingly.

"Tell your master, he doesn't even know our language, and still wants to rule the Central Plains? Wishful thinking!"

His complexion obviously changed, Duoduo turned his head and muttered loudly to Liu Liangzuo again, but before Liu Liangzuo could answer, Shi Kefa's face turned green in an instant, and he slammed the official seal on the table.

"Only the beheaded Shi Kefa, who didn't kneel down and surrender, instead relying on you uncivilized savages and savages, the Daming Yangzhou governor! This governor only regrets not defending Yangzhou City, I'm sorry to the tens of thousands of elders of Daming! It's a dream to ask me to surrender!"

"Hu people have no national destiny for a hundred years, just wait, today you can take advantage of the chaos in the world to destroy China, and it won't be long before there will be people with lofty ideals who will kill you all!"

"Bold!"

In an instant, Duoduo's face was distorted. It's not that he doesn't understand Chinese. This is the contradiction between these Jurchens. On the one hand, they have great respect for the Confucian culture of the Central Plains, and they are extremely inferior to their own shallowness. Look down on the appearance of the Han people, and don't use Chinese if you can use Chinese to show the nobility of the Jurchens.

However, this layer of self-esteem was like a piece of window paper, which was easily punctured by Shi Kefa.

"Okay, you want to die, don't you, this king will help you, come and drag this barbarian out and behead him!"

"Master!"

It wasn't all for Shi Kefa's sake. If he could persuade Nanming Shoufu University to surrender, then he would have made great contributions in the Qing court. Liu Liangzuo once again hugged his face in pain, but who knew that what he got in exchange was Shi Kefa's disdainful spit on him.

"The imperial court spent millions to support you and others, but you and others betrayed the country and turned to thieves! God has eyes, just wait, sooner or later someone will deal with you!"

The brand-new yellow jacket on his body was covered with stains. After a moment of stunned, Liu Liangzuo finally showed his ugly face, growling like a mangy dog ​​with its tail trampled on.

"Drag it out, cut it! Cut it right away!"

After being kicked out by more than a dozen toothless assassins, the city of Yangzhou was devastated at this time. In this era, there are few cities as prosperous as Yangzhou. When they were in the capital, Dorgon restrained them. Jiannu didn't dare to plunder, but now, after entering this colorful world, they are immediately dazzled. Everything Han people are precious to these poor and frightened Jurchens. It was even a bit more brutal than the Jurchens.

Large-scale killings and looting were everywhere, and the thick black smoke accompanied by the bursts of cries continuously passed into Shi Kefa's ears, making him feel like a knife was stabbing his heart. These should have been entrusted to him to protect.

The execution ground is at the gate of the yamen. He was thrown to the ground. Hearing the sound of steel knives piercing the air behind him, what flashed in Shi Kefa's eyes was Song Qingshu's extremely tired eyes when he was about to leave. At this moment, Shi Kefa actually understood Song Qingshu's helpless.

"Maybe we are all wrong!"

"Report, master! The Southern Barbarian is beheaded and presented with his head!"

The body was still bloody and bright red, and the two teeth were excitedly carrying the tray to the lobby. Looking at the head that was frozen with a trace of fatigue, Doduo waved his hand in disgust.

"Put it in a box and send it across the river, so that those southern barbarians and monarchs can see clearly, this is the end of fighting against my Qing Dynasty!"

Shi Kefa's character was strong, and the dozen or so Beichen and Hanchen who followed showed expressions of intolerance, but none of them dared to persuade them. Now they are all slaves, and their heads have been knocked to the ground. Where is the spine?But after hesitating for a while, according to Dorgon's order, Imperial Envoy Zhao Hunran knelt down and kowtowed cautiously.

"Prince Yu, the Regent gave the order to support Nikan, but now that the army has entered the city, the slaughter is heavy! I have the courage to ask Prince Yu to restrain the troops."

Who knew that as soon as these words were said, Doduo's face immediately twisted again, and he scolded furiously.

"Presumptuous! Dog slave, my brother said Enyang Nikan, who was an obedient citizen who surrendered to my Qing Dynasty along the way, this unruly person in Yangzhou City dared to resist our heavenly army. See clearly, come and pass on the king's order, ordering the massacre of the city, and the knife will not be sealed for ten days!"

Yi Qi rode his teeth and rushed out as excitedly as the god of death, and the shrill shouts could be heard everywhere.

"Prince Yu has an order to massacre the city and not seal the sword for ten days!"

These words are more like Pandora's magic box, completely releasing the devils in the hearts of these extremely cruel thugs. At this time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the most tragic scene was like a devil, sent out over the city of Yangzhou Its heart-piercing terrifying roar...
