Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 1194



Chapter 1192: Surrender

In the winter of Beijing, the cold is despairing.

Within two months of the siege, Beijing became a dead city.

Around the city of Beijing, the Taiping army dug a trench that had never been seen since the formation of the army. This ditch, which isolates Beijing from all communications with the outside world, looks more like a moat when it accumulates water.

The Manchus, the nation that caused countless sufferings to the Han people, finally got their retribution in this deep winter.

The prince of the Eight Banners, who entrusted his last hope, died, in Kaifeng, and in the hands of Manzhou Zhenghuangqi, the first-class prince, who was formerly named Tang Sanshui, who had just been appointed as the governor of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that Kuenbu had ambushed dozens of gunmen in advance, and when Obai entered the house, he fired in unison, so that the Batulu warrior of the Qing Dynasty did not even have a complete body.

After eliminating Aobai and the Eight Banners of Manchuria who had retreated with him into Kaifeng, Tang Sanshui stripped Henan Governor Jia Hanfu naked, tied him to the head of the city, and froze to death.

Before the Taiping Army New Fourth Army from Anhui arrived in Kaifeng, Tang Sanshui couldn’t wait to announce the change of flag anyway. Subsequently, the Dingwu court named Tang Sanshui the Duke of Ping and granted him the post of Governor of Zhili.

After the New Fourth Army arrived in Kaifeng, the Zhongzhen Camp, which had been trapped by the Yellow River for half a year, gave up the idea of going north to fight for an independent situation, and the veteran generals headed by Shun Wang Li Laiheng accepted the reality. The Loyalty Camp was reorganized into four towns, and Li Laiheng brought Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun and other generals to Beijing to accept Zhou Shixiang’s summons.

Before he died, Wu Sangui suffered heavy losses, forcing Wu Jun to abandon Zhengzhou and retreat to Luoyang. However, an urgent report from Shaanxi and Gansu soon came. The Southwest Taiping Army entered Sichuan under the command of King Li Dingguo of Jin, and successively captured Chongqing, Chengdu, and Baoning. Now tens of thousands of Taiping troops have entered Hanzhong, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Xi’an. A large number of Wu generals surrendered one after another, and even Gao Minzhan, governor of Sichuan, pleaded guilty to Li Dingguo.

Wu Sangui is still insisting, he does not believe that he will lose to the thief Xiucai, but the news of Beijing’s siege still makes the self-proclaimed King of Zhou unable to hold on.

The general trend of the world has been set, and it is difficult for Wu Sangui to do anything. In the face of despair, Wu Sangui, despite the objections of his advisers and sons-in-law, chose to proclaim himself emperor in Luoyang, the country name Zhou, and Jianyuan Zhaowu.

On the day the Zhaowu regime was established, Wu Sangui’s second son-in-law Hu Guozhu and his niece-in-law Guo Zhuangtu left Luoyang and surrendered to the Kaifeng Taiping Army.

After learning about this, Wu Sangui sighed and fell ill. 26 days later, Wu Sangui died of illness in Luoyang, and his eldest son, Wu Yingxiong, succeeded him.

Wu Yingxiong did not dare to proclaim himself emperor, but sent someone to submit a surrender form to Zhou Shixiang. In order to express his sincerity, Wu Yingxiong sent his youngest sister Wu Ke to Jiangnan.

When Zhou Shixiang, who was far away in Beijing, heard about this, he couldn’t laugh or cry, but he still accepted Wu Yingxiong’s kindness and accepted Wu Ke as his concubine. This move is mainly to appease Wu Yingxiong and his subordinate Wu Jun’s civil and military hearts, so as to strive for a peaceful solution to Guan Ningjun.

In the name of Emperor Dingwu, Zhou Shixiang still named Wu Yingxiong the king of Zhou, and built a palace of the king of Zhou in the east of Nanjing.

Guan Ning’s army was reorganized into two armies, commanded by Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, to pacify Shanxi and march outside the mouth.

By the twelfth lunar month, the original two capitals and thirteen provinces, except Beijing, were all restored.

Now, only Beijing is left, and tens of thousands of women and children of the Eight Banners of Manchuria are left in this majestic city.

The death of Aobai cut off the last hope of the Qing Dynasty. Before that, the Horqin Mongols who promised to send troops to the pass were so frightened that they did not dare to mention the matter of entering the pass after learning that the Ming army had occupied Liaodong, and their troubles were very fast. arrival.

After winning Shanhaiguan, Zhou Shixiang did not rush into Beijing, but made a series of deployments and transfers. At the same time, he sent a large number of envoys to various Mongolian ministries to persuade them to join forces with the Ming army to attack the Monan ministries that were attached to Manchuria.

Zhou Shixiang took out real money and silver, plus Manzhou was already dying, how could the Moxi and Mobei tribes not be moved.

For a time, the Inner Mongolia ministries that were proud of the “Manchu and Mongolian family” were attacked by the Mongolian ministries at the same time.

Mongolian grasslands are full of beacon smoke.

The infighting Mongols never imagined that their ally, His Royal Highness King Qi of Daming, had included them in the next batch of conquests.

Tens of thousands of Manchu women and children in Beijing are really waiting to die, and they can’t even escape.

There is no Manchu Eight Banners soldiers who can fight, up to the Empress Dowager, down to the prefectures, everyone knows that staying in Beijing City is death, but they can live for a while. But once they leave Beijing, they can’t live a day.

From the first day of the siege, 100,000 soldiers were vying for battle, and everyone had to be the first warrior to climb the top of the old capital.

Blind Li is even more sharpening his knife, because there is his favorite lady in Beijing. Although that woman is not young anymore, she is not old either. According to the Han officials who surrendered, the Taihuang Taihuang is well maintained, and she looks quite beautiful when she looks at the milfs.

However, Zhou Shixiang swept away the blind man Li Tixing, and ordered the ministries to only surround Beijing to death, not allowed to enter or leave, and no one could attack the city without his order. Although the siege is too simple, no matter how tall and sturdy the city walls of Beijing are, they can always be bombed and collapsed.

For Beijing, and for the Manchus in the city, Zhou Shixiang only said the word “wei”.

He wanted to let the Manchurians in the city feel what happened in Xinhui City that year.

However, Zhou Shixiang still offered his favor and gave Beijing seven days. During these seven days, the Han people in the city could leave the city, and as a result, many Manchurians pretended to be Han people and wanted to escape from the city. However, they did not expect that the Taiping Army would check one by one, and set a policy for five joint insurances. That is, the five Han Chinese who left the city must guarantee each other that there are no Manchurians among them, otherwise, if one is found, the five will be executed. Under this strict order, no Han would dare to bring the Manchus out.

At first, many people were lucky. After they got the money that Manchu people honored and slept with their girls and wives, they bravely tried to bring people out. However, after beheading more than 4,000 heads in three days, those Han people who were lucky enough to never dare to do this terrible thing again.

Without food, people are dying every day in the city. Manchurians can’t stand it anymore, and Sony can’t stand it either.

Almost begging, or even begging, begging, Sony submitted numerous surrender forms to Zhou Shixiang, hoping that the other party would accept the surrender of the Qing Dynasty. However, all this fell into disrepair.

The Empress Dowager couldn’t take it anymore. She abdicated her grandson and was willing to hand over the Qing Dynasty to Zhou Shixiang in exchange for the lives of the Manchu people in Beijing.

This proposal made many people in Zhou Shixiang’s subordinates tempted. Once the Qing emperor abdicated, the commander would naturally be able to proclaim the emperor in an upright manner.

When Jiangshan was seized from the Qing Dynasty, it was not a usurpation of the throne and self-reliance.

Zhou Shixiang sneered and said to the generals: “What Qing emperor abdicated~www.readwn.com~ Is there a Qing emperor in this world? No, only the Manchu Tartars! How dare the Tartar He De He dare to be called the emperor? Why allow him the Tartar demands! They are not worthy of negotiating conditions with Gu, and if they die, there will be no one left to live!” He added: “From today onwards, there will be another Hu people in this world who will call themselves emperors. I, the Han people, do not share the enemy of the heavens, everyone gets it and executes it, if anyone does not execute it, everyone in the world will punish him, even if he is the emperor of the Han people!”

Zhou Shixiang refused the Qing Dynasty’s request for abdication without thinking about it, because he was not Yuan Shikai, and the struggle between Ming and Qing Dynasty was not a change of dynasty, but a life-and-death battle between the Han and the Manchus. When dealing with the great enemy of the nation, we should force it to the death and settle it to the end, otherwise, it will be a crime against the nation!

Surrender was rejected, abdication was rejected, and the Ming army outside the city was determined to surround Beijing.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, who was on the verge of death, had nothing to do. On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, thousands of Manchu noble ladies and women were sent away. Among them, there were Shunzhi’s wife and Kangxi’s mother, the two palace queen mothers Bolzijit. Shi and Tong Jia Shi.

The two young widow queen mothers were sent out of the city by Sony and others with tears in their eyes. There was no way, for the lives of tens of thousands of Manchurians in the city, the two queen mothers had to make sacrifices.

In the current situation, the face, for the Qing Dynasty, no longer exists.

Didn’t the thief show want to have two empress dowagers, then give it to him, as long as he can give Manchu a way to survive, even if he wants the empress dowager, Sony and Suksaha might also bring troops into the palace and tie them.
