In Ji'an City, Liu Guangbi, the admiral of Jiangxi Province in Qing Dynasty, frowned and looked at the sun in the sky. After five consecutive days of rain, the weather finally turned fine. When the sun shone on the earth, the Taiping army outside the city burst into cheers, but the Qing army in the city was all nervous - the rain stopped, and the Taiping bandits outside the city were about to attack the city!

The heavy rain in the past few days has prevented the Taiping army from taking an effective offensive against Ji'an City. Only those artillery pieces placed under the sheds fired a few shots at the city while the rain stopped, so as to tell the Qing army in the city not to have delusions. , No matter how heavy the rain, no matter how long it lasts, the Taiping Army will not endure for Ji'an.

The main force of the Qing army in Ji'an City was the Jiangxi Green Battalion brought by Liu Guangbi from Nanchang. There were more than 6,000 soldiers. Most of these Green Battalion soldiers participated in the defense of Ganzhou that year. Many of them also returned to Ming Dynasty with Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren. A small number of the former Li Chengdong surrendered with the generals of the Ming army. Because there are more officers and veterans, this Qing army has higher combat effectiveness.

Liu Guangbi was a rare warrior in the Qing army. This man was also a member of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han army. Back then, he followed Hong Tai on the Ming siege of the Daling River and led the troops to conquer three Ming army fortresses in one fell swoop. Later, Zhang Chun, the military commander of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Xiang, the chief soldier, and others led an army of 40,000 troops from Jinzhou to help to relieve the siege of Dalinghe City. Liu Guangbi took the lead in the formation, beheaded two Ming army generals, and led his troops into the car formation. After the war, the Ming army was in chaos, and after the war, he was awarded the post of Meile Zhangjing, who was promoted to the Han army Gushan Ezhen. In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi's entry into the world, he became a progressive first-class Adahhafan and served as the governor of Jiangxi.

In addition to the 6,000 Jiangxi Green Battalion main forces brought by Liu Guangbi from Nanchang, there are more than 1,000 pacesetters under the commander-in-chief Yang Wenyuan in Ji'an City, plus more than 2,000 garrison battalions transferred from the prefecture's counties by Yang Wenyuan before the Taiping Army arrived in Ji'an And the flood soldiers, barely made the city garrison reached ten thousand people. In addition, the Qing army also recruited a large number of young people in the city and searched for nearby villagers to go to the city to help guard, making the available manpower in the city as many as 30,000. According to the Art of War, it takes three times as much to siege a city and five times as needed to siege a city. Therefore, Liu Guangbi estimated that the total strength of the Taiping army outside the city should be around 100,000, otherwise the thief would not have the courage to surround Ji'an. put.

In fact, the Taiping army that attacked the city did not have that many troops. There were four brigades of soldiers in the first town, three brigades of soldiers in the fifteenth town, and four brigades of soldiers in Xinyi town, with more than 27,000 horse infantry. In addition, there were more than 4,000 troops who surrendered, plus his own guards and young soldiers. Surrounding Ji'an with such a small number of troops, and if it is unstoppable, is definitely unwise in terms of tactics, and the casualties of the siege are bound to be huge, but Zhou Shixiang is confident that Ji'an will be captured with the least casualties.

The source of this confidence is the powerful artillery advantage of the Northern Expedition Army. In the battle of Ganzhou, Zhou Shixiang not only got a smooth road to Jiangxi, but also got countless ordnance accumulated in the city, of which the medicine alone was as many as 300,000 kilograms, which means that The advantages of the artillery and firearms of the Taiping Army will be maximized. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] If it weren't for the lack of beauty in the past few days, Zhou Shixiang would have already ordered a storm attack on Ji'an, instead of wasting a few days of effort in vain.

After the weather cleared up, Zhou Shixiang stared at Ji'an City with a telescopic mirror for a moment, and then ordered all the descendants to be driven up. Hearing this order, Ge Yi, Qi Hao, and Wang Fuchen immediately understood that the commander was about to formally attack the city.

"The last time I shot the book city, I won't open the city again after a stick of incense, and after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"

Another way of saying that chickens and dogs will not stay is naturally the massacre of the city. This order made Ge Yi and Wang Fuchen and other generals refreshed, but the soldier Dong Changqing's face changed greatly, and he stepped forward and persuaded: "Commander, in the city The Qing army is strong, but there are also many people. They are only under the coercion of the Qing army to participate in the defense of the city, and they are involuntarily opposed to our soldiers. If the city is destroyed and the massacre is carried out, the slaughter will be too heavy, and it will damage the benevolence and righteousness of our northern expedition army. With the prestige of my teacher, I fear that the people of Jiangxi Province will regard my soldiers as enemies and bandits in the future, which will be detrimental to my great cause of the Northern Expedition."

"This commander only said that after the Northern Expedition, innocent people should not be killed, and people's property should not be robbed. Why did he ever say that my Taiping Army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?"

Zhou Shixiang put down the telescopic mirror and corrected Dong Changqing's erroneous statement. He said to Dong Changqing: "Can the young men in the city have weapons? Will they be killed by our army after they attack the city? If the answer is yes, they will Can't be called innocent... I don't ask why they appeared in the city, I only know that their existence is the resistance for me to break the city, and to be kind to anyone who holds a weapon and rejects my Taiping army is to my soldiers. The greatest irresponsibility."

Zhou Shixiang said again: "The word benevolence and righteousness is the most difficult for this commander to hear. This commander only wishes all the alien races in the world to know that my Taiping army is the teacher of tigers and wolves, and I don't want to hear them praise me as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. This is especially true of the enemies of the same clan. If they cannot be made aware of the power of my Taiping Army and the cruel outcome of opposing me, then they will never be afraid. In the world, only fear will allow you to know how to advance and retreat, and to know your interests. It is true that I am peaceful. The army is the division of King Daming, this northern expedition is for Kuang to restore the three Chu, directly take the southern capital, but even more slaughter Manzhou, go straight to Huanglong, welcome the emperor to return to the capital, as our army song sings, holding a steel knife ninety-nine , kill Hu Erfang and stop!"

"The commander also said that with ninety-nine steel knives in hand, he will kill Hu Erfang and stop. He wants to slaughter the Hu people in Manzhou, but this city in Ji'an is not Hu Er, but me, Han people!"

Dong Changqing is not a mother-in-law or a mother~www.readwn.com~ It's just that the city of Ji'an is indeed full of Han people. If you order the massacre, it's not the Manchus who died, but the Han people.

Zhou Shixiang asked him: "Hulu's minions are Hu'er. If they are Han'er, why would they be the tigers for Manchuria? If they were Han'er, why didn't they open the door to welcome my Han troops into the city, and why did they refuse us by relying on the city? There are more Han people in the world than Manchuria, why is it that since I started the army, the ones who have killed the most are Han people, not Manzhou?"

"This..."

Dong Changqing's speech was stagnant, but he couldn't bear it in his heart. He hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to persuade. Zhou Shixiang waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to say any more. He said: "If you want fewer deaths in the future, and if you want to take over the whole province of Jiangxi smoothly, this city of Ji'an must be slaughtered. But you are right, don't ask. It is not right for Qinghong to kill all of them." Speaking of this, Zhou Shixiang hesitated for a moment, and then changed his order: "After the city is broken, all soldiers will be killed, and those who go to the city to defend the young and strong three middle schools will be killed, and those who are false and clear will be killed. The officials and the gentry who helped the Tatars will all destroy the family and the family, and the rest of the people can live."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed Wang Fuchen and Ge Yi to say, "This campaign is different from Ganzhou. You must tell those who serve Manzhou with your iron and blood, that my long sword is more profitable than Manzhou!" (Unfinished) To be continued.)
