Han’s Son is Not a Slave

It was the Han army Zu Zeqing who first discovered that the Taiping army was approaching Yangzhou from Sanwan. However, Zu Zeqing could be described as fleeing by looking out for the wind. Before the Taiping army approached him, he led his troops to retreat into Yangzhou. city.

The Taiping army advanced all the way to the north, and none of the Qing troops encountered along the way dared to stop it. When they reached the bottom of the city, all the thousands of soldiers and horses that Ao Bai had deployed outside the city retreated into the city.

Because when the Qing army retreated, several bridges on the main road were damaged, and the southern part of Yangzhou was densely populated with waterways. Although it was not a big river, it would be inconvenient for the Taiping army to move without the bridge. Therefore, the Taiping Army dispatched troops in the morning and built pontoon bridges all the way until they appeared under the city of Yangzhou in the afternoon.

The news that the Taiping Army was approaching Yangzhou made the Qing army civil and military in the city nervous. Everyone thought that the thief Xiucai was attacking Yangzhou City with the might of a great victory, even Shunzhi thought so. However, when he got to the top of the city, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Taiping army under the city looked at tens of thousands of horses, forming several large square formations, with infantry in the middle and cavalry on the side, but they did not carry siege weapons, and they did not even see artillery. The posture of the Taiping Army did not look like a siege, but rather like a show of strength.

Shunzhi looked very aggrieved, but what made him even more aggrieved was that he found that the cavalry on the left wing of the Taiping Kou was actually the two white flags full of soldiers who had rebelled and surrendered. Their uniforms had not been changed. The belt looks like a real disciple of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Shunzhi couldn't help cursing a few words of Dorgon's remnants in his heart, but his face was very calm. In the presence of his courtiers, he tried his best to calm himself.

In addition to the more than 20,000 defeated soldiers gathered by Aobai, the Qing army in the city also had more than 3,000 soldiers from the two yellow flags. The strength was far more than the Taiping army outside the city. Army battles. Some timid Han officials were so frightened that they sneaked out of the camp and sneaked into private houses in the city. What's more, they all twisted their braids secretly, and when the Taiping army entered the city, they went to the city gate to greet Master Wang. They also see it openly. Daming can't work, they vote for the Qing Dynasty; when the Qing Dynasty can't work, they can go back to Daming. Regardless of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, if the country is attacked, someone has to govern it. This yamen can be done without them? Those scumbags don't have the masters who have read the books of sages and sages for ten years and managed them. Can they obey Wanghua, abide by the law of the king, and accept the king's food? No matter the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to stay in the country, you can't do without them!

This is the case for officials, and even more unbearable for soldiers. There was a riot in the retreating Qing army. There were dozens of battalion soldiers under the command of Liu Dou, the admiral of Zhili, and they shouted in the battalion that they wanted to open the city to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Qi into the city, thinking of learning from the original Beijing The city opens the door to welcome the king of Chuang, or the city of Nanjing opens the city to welcome the king of Yu, and earns the first merit. Fortunately, these people are eager to make money, but they are secrets of no success. Before they can do anything, they are secretly informed to Liu Dou. Liu Dou was frightened half to death when he found out, and quickly took his own soldiers to suppress it, and chopped off dozens of heads to suppress this matter, otherwise God knows what troubles will arise.

Han officials and Han soldiers really responded to Sony's concerns, and they were unreliable. For the generals of Man and Mongolia, the intention of defecting to the Ming Dynasty was very light. Although the two white flags were reversed, it was because of Dorgon. The other flags were still very loyal to the emperor. It's just that the loyalty is there, but the courage is gone.

Looking at the group of ministers who were frightened by the Taiping army outside the city, Shunzhi was really angry. He really thought that someone would stand up and say that the slaves would like to lead the army out of the city and compete with the Taiping bandits. His emperor was very disappointed, and even Ao Bai didn't mention a word about going to battle.

Ao Bai wanted to fight, but he, the Manchurian Batulu, did not gain a false reputation, and the title of warrior was not picked up in the air, but he bought it with a knife and a shot, with blood and the head of the Han people. When Dorgon was in power, he was constantly suppressed, and even had to be beheaded twice. He survived it. Not only did he not get discouraged, but he became stronger. Therefore, the blow of a defeat is far from making him passive and fearful. Of course, it is exactly what the Han people said, they are determined to kill thieves, but they are powerless to return to heaven. Obai wants to fight, others don't want to fight.

Fei Yanggu didn't dare to tell Sony and Aobai of the emperor's gaffe just now. He saw that the emperor's face was ugly, but the ministers were all alone, as if they were scared by the Taiping bandits, and he was very angry. He wanted to fight, set back the prestige of the Taiping bandits, and salvage the adverse impact of the defeat of Sanwan on the Qing army, even if he raised his morale a little bit, but before he could speak, another first-class guard, Lang Tan, exclaimed. : "What are the thieves going to do!"

Following Lang Tan's gesture, Fei Yanggu saw a square formation of the Taiping Army suddenly move on both sides, and then a large group of people were driven towards the city of Yangzhou. Fei Yanggu looked carefully. Those captured seemed to be Manchu soldiers with two yellow flags, and one of them was his brother-in-law, Tudabai, the leader of the flag with yellow flags.

Fei Yanggu turned his face away in pain, then turned his head back, and looked at Tudabai again, becoming so unfamiliar and ruthless.

The generals of Man and Mongolia whispered, discussing what the Taiping bandit's actions meant. Some said that the Taiping bandits wanted to drive Manchu and Mongolian prisoners to attack the city, some said that they were taken to the city to persuade them to surrender, and some said that they neither attacked the city nor persuaded to surrender, but only used these prisoners to disturb the army in the city.

The sound of the discussion reached Shunzhi's ears, Shunzhi's brows were wrinkled, his face was gloomy, Sony saw this, and he coughed softly, and then fell silent, UU reading www.uukanshu. com civil and military officials are silent. Regardless of the current state of affairs, the emperor is the emperor.

When Shunzhi frowned, he was also thinking about the thief Xiucai's intention. He figured that the other party would definitely not be able to attack the city, otherwise why would he not see the siege equipment and artillery? He guessed that the thief Xiucai was here to demonstrate and shock him.

"Fei Yanggu, you are good at archery. If a thief comes to the city later, no matter what he says, you will shoot him to death! ... I ask you, can you hit it?"

Shunzhi was a little worried. If Fei Yanggu couldn't kill the thief with one arrow and made the thief run away, he would not improve the morale of the army, but lower morale.

Fei Yanggu said with confidence: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the thief is within 150 steps, the servant will definitely be able to shoot him!"

Shunzhi nodded, and his eyes fell outside the city again, waiting for the thief to come and die. But the thief did not come, and the Taiping army only took the prisoners to a distance of several hundred paces from the city, and then stopped there. As they got closer, the city could see clearly that the Manchu prisoners were all wrapped around their necks with ropes, one by one, interlocking. Hundreds of Manchu soldiers were like a long snake, tied together by countless ropes. The head of the rope was held by a few Taiping bandits, and when they moved their hands, those Manchu soldiers would involuntarily take a step forward, like oxen and horses. (To be continued.)
