Blood from Daming

Chapter 848

Lu Xiangsheng told Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei about his conversation with Xue Wu. When Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei knew that Xue Yun was a remnant of Jianwen, they were also stunned. The strength of the Xue family army in Datong, now seeing the strength of the Xue family army in Zhangde Mansion, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's confidence in the court is seriously insufficient, especially Yang Guozhu already has other ideas.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei almost unanimously rejected Lu Xiangsheng's suicide attack, and Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, even sent someone to contact Xue's army secretly. Instead, contact Xue Jiajun like Yang Guozhu.

Xue Wu assured Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei that after they voted for the Xue family army, they could keep their original positions in the imperial court, and if they had military exploits, they would be promoted to rank. Du Du found out that Xue's army returned Lu Xiangsheng's Ming army Shuirong, knowing that the Qing army was invulnerable, he withdrew his troops in dismay, but Lu Xiangsheng, who was a widow, was still kept in the dark.

In December of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the chief general of the Qing army, Yang Wu, and the great general Belle Yuetuo Yangwu led the elite Qing soldiers to go south to Shandong. Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, was ordered to move to Dezhou by Yang Sichang, the minister of the Ministry of War. Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, had to bring 3000 troops to Dezhou. , Jinan, the original defense area, was even more empty.

In view of the scarcity of troops in Jinan, Yan Jizu asked the imperial court for reinforcements several times. Minister of War Yang Sichang reluctantly ordered Shandong soldiers to gather in Jinan. General Liu Zeqing, Ni Chong and other generals were afraid of the Qing army and stayed in Jinan and refused to reinforce Jinan. December 21 On the same day, Yue Tuo, the chief general of the Qing army, arrived outside Jinan with his troops.

Shandong governor Zhang Bingwen, inspector censor Song Xuezhu, deputy commander Zhou Zhixun, Licheng magistrate Han Chengxuan led more than 21 defenders and people to defend the city. Because Shandong governor Zhang Bingwen was not familiar with military affairs, the defense of Jinan City was controlled by the inspectors. Shi Songxuezhu took full power to call the shots. On the evening of the [-]st, an army appeared in the south of Jinan City. This made the soldiers and civilians of Jinan City rejoice, and made the one-eyed Yuetuo, who was preparing to attack Jinan City tomorrow, have to mobilize most of the Qing army to deal with Ming Dynasty. North Korean reinforcements.

Yue Tuo quickly figured out the situation of the reinforcements. The reinforcements from the south were about 1 people, but they were the famous Xue family army. Hate and fear, Yuetuo decided to ask Du Du, Dorgon, and Azig for advice after thinking about it again and again, hoping that all Qing soldiers from all walks of life would gather in Jinan City and wipe out the Xue family army in front of them in one fell swoop.

The censor Song Xuezhu and his deputy commander Zhou Zhixun arrived at the south gate of Jinan City to welcome the reinforcements. Only then did they know that the reinforcements were actually the Xue family army from the south. Song Xuezhu was dumbfounded. This Xue family army is really too sensitive. Song Xue Zhu Ke didn't have the guts to meet Xue's army, so after much deliberation, he finally asked Han Chengxuan, the magistrate of Licheng County, to find a few businessmen, and sent Xue's army a thousand loads of grain, a hundred pigs, a hundred sheep, and a hundred jars of shochu to reward the army.

The Xue family army that arrived at the city of Jinan is composed of Yuanmingjiao, Wenxiangjiao, Xuejiajun's jade girl holy sword, Xu Sanjie, Qiao Guoliang, Song Kui, Liu Mandun, Niu San, and Ma Tao's troops. The total strength is about 1. , now the Ming army of Jade Holy Sword, Xu Sanniang's Wenxiangjiao, and Xue's army are three in one. Considering that the combat effectiveness of the recently merged Xue's army needs to be strengthened, Yan Sanniang's order to the leader of this Xue's army, Jade Holy Sword, is to contain Jinan Qing army.

And the main force of the Xue family army will go ashore in Dengzhou. That is the [-] army led by Xue Polu, the governor of Taiwan of the Xue family army. The Chongzhen Emperor's corrupt rule over the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the Xue family army, the Qing army, and the Ming army in Jinan City maintained a relative balance in Jinan City. For nearly ten days, the inside and outside of Jinan City were calm, and there was no atmosphere of a war coming. Thirty was broken.

Du Du of the Qing army arrived in Jinan along the way of Cangzhou and Bazhou. On the same day, the Azige troops sent by Dorgon also arrived in Jinan. After feeling overwhelmed, the soldiers and civilians in the city stepped up preparations overnight, preparing for the possible siege battle tomorrow.

It is really a coincidence that the Taiwan Xue family army who landed from Dengzhou had already arrived in Zhangqiu County not far from Jinan City on December 29. When they learned that the Qing army had gathered in Jinan City, Xue Polu ordered the whole army to hurry. Finally appeared under the city of Jinan before dark.

The Taiwan Xue family army quickly merged with the Hangzhou Xue family army. The Jade Maiden Sacred Sword still knew current affairs and immediately handed over the command of the Hangzhou Xue Jiajun. After seeing the strength of Taiwan's Xue family army, Sanjie Xu knew that the general trend of the world had been settled, and she should focus on fighting for favor in the harem, but she was already a middle-aged woman. Looking at her niece, Jade Sword, Sanjie Xu wanted to have a sister-in-law with the same heart , completely settled Xue Yun, but did not know how to speak to his niece.

After Yue Tuo met Du Du and Azig, he was not happy for a long time, but was stimulated by the news of the arrival of Xue's army reinforcements. Xue's army came with a total of [-] troops. Yue Tuo regretted why he was bolder, even if he paid a lot. The price is to defeat the Xue family army that arrived first.

Not only the main general Yue Tuo was a little frustrated, but the deputy commander Belledu Dudu sighed. When he first arrived at the Yue Tuo barracks, Du Du thought that by gathering nearly [-] troops, he could wipe out the [-] Xue family troops outside the south gate of Jinan City with a thunderbolt. Now there are [-] troops. Xue Jiajun, Du Du thought about the hand-to-hand fight with Xue Jiajun in Zhangde Mansion in Julu, and he no longer had the heart to fight Xue Jiajun. Only Azig was full of confidence and was ready to compete with Xue Jiajun.

In fact, Yue Tuo, Du Du, and Azig only paid attention to the number of Xue's army, and did not figure out the strength of each team of Xue's army. It is not a big problem for the 1 Xue family army to beat the Qing army with 1 or 3. That is to say, there is no problem with the 30 Xue family army in Taiwan and the [-] Qing army. The Qing army only came to add military exploits to Taiwan's Xue family army.

On the first day of the first month of the 12th year of Chongzhen, the Xue family army suddenly launched an attack on the Qing army. Putting on their armor and preparing to fight, Yue Tuo, Du Du, and Azig were confused. This Xue family army is really bullying our Qing Dynasty. If you say anything, you can fight. Could it be that the Xue family army has not survived for a year? "

When Yue Tuo, Du Du, and Azig rushed to the front battalion to supervise the formation, the Qing army's camp had already been breached in many places. Yue Tuo, Du Du, and Azig led the headquarters to fight back. In just a cup of tea, Xue Jiajun's grenades and muskets knocked down [-]% of his men, who fled in embarrassment.

The military discipline of the Qing army has always been cruel. The main soldiers killed slaves, deputy soldiers, and Niu Lu. Luxiu wanted to survive, but Yue Tuo, Du Du, and Azig did not expect that in such a short period of time, the soldiers under his command would escape. It seems that the Qing army was really scared by Xue's army. The wives and children of the Qing Dynasty are so disregarded.

The 10 troops led by Yue Tuo, Du Du, and Azig couldn't withstand the attack of Xue's army, so they had to retreat to the central army to set up a defense line. The people's team was cut into several large pieces, with the momentum of swallowing [-] troops of the Qing army in one gulp.

The censor Song Xuezhu led Shandong governor Zhang Bingwen, deputy command envoy Zhou Zhixun, Licheng magistrate Han Chengxuan and other officials to the west gate of Jinan City to watch the Xue family's army fighting against the Qing army. When the Xue family army was reinforced, the Xue family army broke through the three-army company battalion of the Qing army with a destructive momentum.

Forty thousand Xue's troops fought around tens of thousands of Qing troops. After the Xue's troops broke through the Qing army's front battalion, the Qing army did not organize an effective defense in the middle. Seeing this situation, the soldiers and civilians in Jinan City were cheering, but Song Xuezhu, the censor of the patrol, was even more worried. After Xue's army defeated Jianlu, the next target was the imperial court. What should he and Jinan City do?

Song Xuezhu, the patrol censor, fell into deep thought. After a while, Song Xuezhu suddenly heard the soldiers and civilians on the city wall shouting "victory", "the Qing army is defeated", "the Qing army has escaped", "the great Ming wins!" We have won the battle." Song Xuezhu came to his senses, raised his eyes and looked west, and sure enough, the Qing army fled in three ways.

The Deputy Commander Zhou Zhixun hurriedly challenged Song Xuezhu on behalf of the army. Song Xuezhu refused the request of the Deputy Commander Zhou Zhixun and other generals on the grounds that the battle situation outside the city and the attitude of the Xue family army were unclear. Watching the fruits of victory pass by.

Song Xuezhu estimated that at most 3 people from the three groups of the Qing army escaped. Although the resistance of the Qing army in the encirclement of Xue's army was tenacious, they could not withstand the attacks of Xue's army's muskets, grenades, and explosives. The sound of guns finally stopped, which marked the end of the battle between the Xue family army and the Qing army.

In this battle, the Xue family army wiped out [-] people from the Qing army and captured [-] Qing soldiers. Xue Polu said the word "kill", and finally all of them were decapitated. Du Erhu and Mu Erhu, the two sons of Du Du, the owner of the White Banner, Qiao Guoliang originally wanted to keep Du Erhu and Mu Erhu to see if there was any value for use. Xue Polu told Qiao Guoliang that even Huang Taiji and Dorgon were useless. , Killed directly so as not to waste the food of the Xue family army.

Xue Polu did not order to chase and annihilate Yuetuo, Du Du, and Azig's three-way breakthrough troops. Instead, he asked Xue's army to clean up valuable livestock supplies on the battlefield, and sent people to the west gate of Jinan City to shout. The inspector of defense, Song Xuezhu, and the governor of Shandong, Zhang Bingwen, were two.
