The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 629 You will surely die
On December 22, Ding Yi brought more than 2 people to Cheng'an. Cheng'an is west of Guangping. Guangping had just been destroyed, and a large number of people fled to Cheng'an. Ding Yi recruited people along the way. There are only more than 5000 people in various places.

In fact, at this time, the Qing soldiers went directly north to Shunde after defeating Daming and Guangping.

But Ding Yi told Zhu Xuezhi, the magistrate of Cheng'an County, that the Qing soldiers had broken Guangping and Daiming, and Cheng'an might be next. Either you let all the people follow us and abandon the city and flee, or you stay behind and I will chase the Qing soldiers. of.

Zhu Xuezhi was very entangled, he begged Ding Yi to stay and guard Cheng'an, Ding Yi said, your city is too small, I can't get in with so many soldiers, and the emperor ordered me to pursue Qing soldiers.

Zhu Xuezhi smiled wryly. There was an order from the imperial court that all places must guard to the death. Anyone who dared to abandon the city and flee would be punished by beheading.

Then he said, "You take all the people in the city away, I decided to stay."

Because some people abandoned the city and fled when the Qing soldiers entered the pass for the first time, Chongzhen issued a death order when the Qing soldiers entered the pass this time. Anyone who dared to abandon the city would be executed.

Zhu Xuezhi decided to stay, and brought some people in the county government who were unwilling to leave to stay in the dead city.

Ding Yi was also polite, and immediately ordered the people to be taken away, including all food, cattle, sheep, money, etc.

But not all the people are willing to leave, about [-]% to [-]% were taken away by Ding Yi.

In this way, the number of people in Ding Yi's hands has reached more than 4000, and there are hundreds of people's vehicles, and some food and property.

After all the people willing to go out of the city, Ding Yi immediately sent someone to bring Zhu Xuezhi's family into the barracks.

Zhu Xuezhi was in a hurry, and said that he could not leave, and wanted to stay and defend the city.

Ding Yi said, either I will kill your whole family now, or you will come with me, you can choose one.

Zhu Xuezhi was speechless immediately, so he had to follow Ding Yi honestly.

After Ding Yi left the city, he called Shang Kexi's Ministry and asked him to take people to escort more than 1 people to the east, from Guangping County to Shandong, first to Guan County, then to Dongchang Mansion, and then to Yanzhou in the south. From Yanzhou to Juzhou, then through Jiaozhou, from Jiaozhou to Dengzhou.

After arriving, all the people were sent directly to Jeju Island. This Zhu Xuezhi was sent to be a civil servant.

This is a large circle around the coast from the south of Shandong, and a long way to go, mainly for fear of encountering Qing soldiers who entered Shandong.

Of course, at this time Ding Yi didn't know that Qing soldiers would definitely enter Shandong, but he was afraid of encountering Qing soldiers on the road, so he decided to let Shang Kexi take a long way.

Moreover, after entering Shandong from Guangping, you can immediately meet the stronghold of Dengzhou here. In Shandong, Dengzhou has a stronghold for porridge, which can guide you all the way and provide a small amount of grain to Dengzhou.

It is estimated that it will take a month to walk to Dengzhou now.

Ding Yi divided his troops in Cheng'an, and Shang Kexi led more than 1 civilians, pushing more than 600 vehicles of various civilians, and headed east directly into Shandong.

The crossing section of the road is not easy to walk, there are many mountain roads, and it is easy to walk on the official road of Guanxian County.

He took the remaining soldiers and horses and added [-] hoarded soldiers, pushing a large amount of food and continuing to chase the Qing soldiers behind.

Just as they dispatched their troops, a large number of common people and monks were delighted to send troops to the east.

On the hill not far away, Yue Tuo slowly appeared with a team of cavalry, showing his head.

"What is Ding Shuo doing? Why are the troops divided into two groups?" Yue Tuo looked strangely.

"It seems that most of the people going east are ordinary people, and they go directly to Shandong here?" His servant, Gu Shan Ezhen Suo Atu, said in a low voice, "This bastard is robbing people again, even better than us."

All the generals around shouted curses.

They are from the Qing Dynasty, so it is normal to come here to rob Ming people, but this Ding Yi even robbed his own people, no wonder he has more and more people in Lushun, and more and more soldiers and horses are fighting.

"He really knows how to fish in troubled waters." Yue Tuo also had to admire Ding Yi.

In order to contain Ding Yi, he sent troops to hack and kill the fleeing people all the way, forcing Ding Yi to save these people, and he didn't have time to go to Jiazhuang to find Lu Xiangsheng.

Of course, there was a reason why Ding Yi didn’t go. He vaguely remembered that in history, the Ming court’s reaction to Lu Xiangsheng’s death was not very good, but of course he didn’t remember how he did it, so he deliberately didn’t go.

What's more, here we want to gather the people together and save their lives.

"Good opportunity." Suoatu shouted at this time: "You can break the road and kill them all."

Yue Tuo's face changed slightly: "Ding Yi is so insidious, I'm afraid it's a trap."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but on the mountain, they were unwilling to see Ding Yi's people and a group of soldiers heading east.

Do you want to fight?The Qing soldiers were very entangled.

----
On December [-], Lu Xiangsheng's entire army was wiped out, and the news of Gao Qiqian's defeat was spread to the capital successively by Kuaima.

The capital was shaken, and Chongzhen was ashamed, afraid and angry.

University scholar Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian soon wrote a letter stating that Lu Xiangsheng fought first and did not cooperate with Gao Qiqian.

However, Yu Ying, the prefect of Shunde Prefecture, which was closer to Jiazhuang (Shunde Prefecture had not yet been breached at the time), wrote a letter to Lu Xiangsheng's death.

Yang Sichang asked someone to search for the autopsy, and Yang Tinglin, the head of the Zanhua Art Department of the Ministry of War, led people to the battlefield immediately. When Lu Xiangsheng's body was found, Lu Xiangsheng was still wearing sackcloth and white cloth, and the remaining subordinates were crying bitterly.

On December [-]th, three Beijing soldiers who had rushed from the capital also came to the scene and saw Lu Xiangsheng's body. After seeing it, all three were silent.

After returning to Beijing, Yang Sichang asked them if they had found Lu Xiangsheng's body?
Yu Zhenlong among the three said yes and saw it.

Yang Sichang suppressed his anger, think about it again, did you see it?
Yu Zhenlong still said, I saw it, it is indeed Lu Gong's body.

Yang Sichang was furious, no one else saw it, but you saw it?

Yu Zhenlong was not afraid of the power, he insisted that he saw it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Yang Zanhua to send the body.

Yang Sichang became furious and ordered Yu Zhenlong to be arrested and whipped for three days and three nights to make him change his words.

Yu Zhenlong never changed his words, and was beaten to death in the end. Before he died, he stared and shouted: "Heaven is a god, and a loyal minister is not in vain."

Another Qianzong Yang Guodong, who returned from the collapse, refused to obey Yang Sichang's wishes to revise the Tang newspaper, insisting that Lu Xiangsheng was killed in battle, and Yang Sichang found an excuse for defeating the army and beheaded him too.

Lu Xiangsheng's wife, younger brothers Lu Xiangjin, and Lu Xiangguan all asked the court for compensation, but Chongzhen ignored it and refused to allow Lu's family to collect the body. After more than 80 days, it was impossible to prove that Lu Xiangsheng had escaped. The family collected the remains.

Lu Xiangsheng, who died heroically in battle, was convicted of escaping by every possible means. Yu Zhenlong and Yang Guodong, who died defying the powerful, were convicted of deserters and rebels. The Ming court really disappointed Ding Yi and other Dongjiang generals.

Afterwards, Ding Yi asked the intelligence department to bring the news back to Lushun, and the whole army publicized and promoted it, and even rehearsed hundreds of plays.

Lushun Dengzhou is played every five days, and the venue is full. The people are filled with righteous indignation and scold the court for injustice.

----
December 28.

Shang Kexi brought a thousand soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of vehicles, piled up supplies, all kinds of cattle, sheep, mules, horses, etc., and just came to Panzhai Village in the east of Guangping County.

Panzhai Village is about 40 miles away from Guangping County. It was also swept up by the Qing soldiers and has long been deserted.

Shang Kexi gathered a lot of people along the way, because the name in the south was also broken, and the people were hiding everywhere. Seeing a large number of compatriots, they naturally gathered here.

Shang Kexi has recruited thousands of people all the way from Cheng'an, and the current team population is as high as 6000.

Hundreds of carts stretched for several miles, and his thousand musketeers rode on horseback to protect both sides, advancing slowly at an extremely slow speed.

After arriving at Panzhai Village, a few kilometers to the north is Dongzhangmeng Town, and then to the east, you enter Guantao County in Shandong Province.

At noon that day, all the people rested in Panzhai Village and lit a fire for cooking.

At the same time Shang Kexi gave the order to light a fire and cook, three thousand Yuetuo's soldiers and horses were standing against the wind in Yangqiao Town, a few miles south of them.

"Let's fight." Suoatu said loudly: "We sent out cavalry to follow for a few days, they only have a thousand Ming troops, and the rest of the Ming troops went north with Ding Yi."

Yue Tuo frowned: "One thousand are all musketeers, it's not easy to fight."

He was only three thousand fine riders, and he would probably be beaten by Ding Yi's soldiers for a few rounds if he rushed up, and he would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"As long as we don't count casualties and work hard, even if we die 2000 people, we will be able to come, and then we will snatch all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and all the wealth and food will be ours."

In the past, when the Qing soldiers fought against the Ming army, they felt that they would suffer a loss if they exchanged ten of them. Now when they fight against Ding Yi's troops, they feel that they can afford it if they exchange two for one.

As long as this Ming army is wiped out, only one thousand of the three thousand riders will die.

Yue Tuo always felt something was wrong, of course he knew how insidious and cunning Ding Yi was, and all of Ding Yi's subordinates followed suit, and they were all shameless and vulgar when fighting.

But they followed Shang Kexi quietly for a few days, and they were sure that Shang Kexi only had a thousand soldiers, and the other 1 were all civilians.

He didn't really want to fight at first, but they don't have much food now, and all the food was taken away by Dorgon Dudu's soldiers.

"Hit his mother." Yue Tuo quickly decided that he was already seriously ill, so it was better to fight to the death.

The generals around shouted excitedly.

But even though we have decided how to fight, how to fight, how to fight, is still a problem.

After thinking for a while, Yue Tuo said, "The Ming army's musketeers are sharp, so they must charge fast enough."

"Can't give them a second-round chance."

"No matter how many people die in front, the rear team cannot retreat. I have made a decision and I will rush forward."

The faces of all the generals changed drastically, and they tried to dissuade them one after another.

"There's no need to persuade me, I've made up my mind, and I'm going to fight Ding Yi's soldiers to avenge blood." Yue Tuo said angrily.

The generals were shocked by him, and they expressed their opinions one after another, and they will fight to the death without retreating.

Yue Tuo said again, if I was killed, the whole army would be led by Suoatu to continue the charge, and if Suoatu died, another person would be designated to charge.

No matter how many people die, they must rush to the front of the Ming army.

As long as our Qing warriors rush to the front of the Ming army, the Ming army will undoubtedly die.

'There is no doubt about death. All the generals called.
