Nanming Yiming

Chapter 191 Kong Youde Self-immolation

Ma Jixiang's words surprised everyone, and even Qu Shixu had a bad feeling in his heart.

It is obvious that Ma Jixiang came here today prepared, and now he has calculated that he has no intentions. In the current situation, it is better for him to talk less, if it is not possible, he has no choice but to give up He Tengjiao.

Ma Jixiang was a little disappointed to see that Qu Shixu no longer defended himself, and then said: "One hour ago, I received a report from Jin Yiwei that Kong Youde, the respectful king of the puppet Qing Dynasty, led an army of 1 troops from Yuezhou to the south. He Tengjiao was defeated in Hunan. Yin, Ningxiang was defeated twice, and Changsha was defeated three times. In just two days, our Ming lost more than 2 horses, and dozens of generals including Cao Zhijian and Hu Yiqing died in battle."

"He Tengjiao was besieged by the Qing army in Xiangtan. Kong Youde falsely passed on He Tengjiao's order and tricked Hao Yongzhong's troops into Xiangtan. Hao Yongzhong was ambushed by the Qing army on the way, losing 1 horses, and has returned to Baoqing Mansion."

When Ma Jixiang said this, everyone was shocked.

Emperor Yongli's face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he looked furious.

Ma Jixiang made a wink, and Wu Zhenyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "He Tengjiao is incompetent and loses his teachers and land. The situation in Changsha has been corrupted to this point. It is really impossible to be the governor of Huguang. Please remove He Tengjiao and choose another capable minister to supervise the battle in Huguang. "

Qu Shixu said: "He Tengjiao should be punished for losing his teacher and losing ground, but now that the battle is critical, it may not be appropriate to change generals just in time!"

Ma Jixiang said: "It's this time, and Qu Ge's department is still trying to excuse why Tengjiao. It seems that the two of you really have a close personal relationship! He Tengjiao is a stupid pig. He fought a battle that must be won like this. Shamelessly occupying the position of Governor of Huguang. I suggest that Du Yinxi, Governor of Huguang, take over as Governor of Huguang to control the Ming army from all walks of life in Huguang. I believe that Du Yinxi will be able to turn the tide and turn the crisis into peace!"

At this time, Qian Qianyi also said: "Du Yinxi has been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for a long time in the Huguang area. 'Mahe Great Victory'; and then united with the Li Guo Department of the Zhongzhen Battalion in eastern Sichuan, and achieved great victories one after another before our army besieged Changsha. It is good at uniting all the forces of our Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty."

"And He Tengjiao first instigated Hao Yongzhong's infighting, and then took the credit and transferred the Zhongzhen Camp, which opened the door of Changsha, and the two of them had a clear opinion on their abilities! The minister also suggested that Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, take over as the governor of Huguang!"

After Ma Jixiang and Qian Qianyi expressed their attitudes, other cabinet ministers seconded the proposal one after another, demanding the removal of He Tengjiao and the use of Du Yinxi!
Seeing the excited crowd, Qu Shixu no longer dared to speak for He Tengjiao, and finally had no choice but to second the proposal, expressing his support for Du Yinxi.

Qian Qianyi continued to make up his sword and said: "Now that the war is tight, we can delegate the power to deal with Hao Yongzhong and Chen Youlong to Du Yinxi, and let Du Yinxi order Chen Youlong's department to be transferred to Yongzhou. It is natural to use Du Yinxi's method. You can choose the two, so Chen Youlong will naturally be grateful to the imperial court and Du Yinxi; and Hao Yongzhong will definitely want to take the blame and make meritorious service, and dare not do anything wrong to Du Yinxi!"

After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Yongli's expression softened a lot.He was not very satisfied with He Tengjiao in the first place, but Ma Jixiang was not wrong, isn't he just a stupid pig?

Qian Qianyi's handling of this fire merger was more appropriate than Qu Shixu's, and Yongli couldn't help but give him a high look.

Yongli said: "What Ma Aiqing and Qian Aiqing said is very true, I will play it."

Then Yongli said: "Qu Aiqing, now that the Qing army has increased its troops in Hunan, can the Ministry of War send reinforcements to support the war in Changsha?"

This is embarrassing for Qu Shixu. Now the Yongli Dynasty can directly mobilize troops from Guangdong and Guangxi, while the troops in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places are all in the hands of Qian Mo, Li Chengdong and others, and the military department cannot be mobilized at all.

He said: "Guilin still has 3000 soldiers and horses, which can be taken to Hunan by Chen Youlong."

At this time, Qian Qianyi said: "According to what I know, the Duke of Yue and Li Yuanyin, the governor of the left, have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses near Nanchang to support the Duke of Yu. Now that Nanchang is as solid as gold, we might as well let them enter Hunan to solve the predicament in Changsha first." !"

Yongli was overjoyed when he heard about it, and even said three "good" words.

Qu Shixuan suffered a big blow today. He thought it was Ma Jixiang who was attacking him, but he didn't expect Qian Qianyi to be the biggest beneficiary. It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, so he really can't underestimate his mentor.

After the Zhongzhen Battalion withdrew from Changsha, they captured Liuyang at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi.The situation in Changsha was originally very good, but now it has been reversed directly, which inevitably makes people sigh.

Gao Yigong said: "Thanks to Duke Yue's timely news, we were able to avoid the main force of the Qing army. Now He Tengjiao is shooting himself in the foot."

Du Yinxi said worriedly: "This time Kong Youde and He Luo will lead 2 Manchurian Eight Banners to the south, including 7000 Manchurian White Banners. It may be difficult for us to compete with our strength!"

"Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the Qing army did not hesitate to send troops from the front line in Nanchang to support Changsha. It seems that they want to seize the opportunity to grab food!"

At this time, the soldiers came to report: "It's not good, tens of thousands of cavalry from Jiangxi are coming to Liuyang!"

In the direction of Jiangxi, could it be that the Qing army in Nanchang once again increased its troops in Changsha?
Not daring to slack off, the few people quickly ordered the entire city of Liuyang to martial law, and immediately climbed to the top of the city to prepare for the battle.

When they saw the Mongolian cavalry, they were even more sure that the Qing army had come to attack the city, but soon a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

I saw Huang Sanpang rushing to the city accompanied by several cavalry. He shouted: "Master Du, Duke Yue and Li Yuanyin, the governor of the left, led an army of 3 to support!"

After Nikan's death, Haug completely gave up his offensive and began to concentrate his forces on defense around Nanjing.Although Hauge lost more than half of the Manchurian Eight Banners, there are still many green camps. Today there are still 10 Qing troops around Nanjing.

Given the strength of Nanjing's city defenses, the casualties in the storm were too high, and Qian Mo would definitely not choose to fight hard.Considering that the autumn harvest will begin soon, the cavalry of the Qing army near Nanchang will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to shoot food, so Qian Mo led the 2 cavalry from the Huzhou camp and Mongolia to join Li Yuanyin's 1 cavalry to fight in Ruizhou and Yuanyin near Nanchang. The Qing army ambushed and robbed the food in the state capital.

Qian Mo and Li Yuanyin were stunned by He Tengjiao's coquettish maneuvers. After the two discussed it, instead of making small troubles in Jiangxi, it would be better to come to Hunan to make a big deal.

So Qian Mo led [-] cavalry to Liuyang City.

At this time, Yongli's imperial decree had not yet arrived in Liuyang, Qian Mo said: "Your Majesty has decreed that He Tengjiao's Governor of Huguang will be removed, and Brother Du will be replaced. I congratulate Governor Du in advance."

Li Guo and others were also very happy when they heard the news, they finally didn't have to be angry with He Tengjiao anymore!

Du Yinxi knew that he could bring down He Tengjiao this time, and the Duke of Yue must have contributed a lot behind his back.When Huang Sanpang said this before, Du Yinxi only took it as a joke, and it seemed that he really underestimated the Duke of Yue in front of him.

So he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue, for your help!"

Qian Mo said with a smile: "It all depends on Ma Jixiang, the Commander of the Jinyi Guard, who is aware of the details. Qian Mo dare not take credit for His Majesty's sage forever. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Huguang is an important food producing area. We must eliminate Kong Youde as soon as possible, and we must not let Changsha's The food fell into the hands of the Qing army."

Kong Youde was in high spirits at this time, he felt pressured by the departure of Zhongzhen Camp and Geng Zhongming's defeat.Fortunately, the idiot He Tengjiao helped him again at the critical moment.

At this time, the Qing army had already surrounded Xiangtan, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken!

Now that Baoqing's Hao Yaoqi has been defeated by himself, with He Tengjiao's virtue, I am afraid that no other allies will come to rescue him.So Kong Youde gave an order, and the Qing army began to build ladders to attack the city.

The Ming army in Xiangtan had only 5000 people left, but at this critical moment of life and death, He Tengjiao showed his integrity. After he refused the Qing army's persuasion to surrender, he went to the top of the city to command the battle.

The morale of the Ming army was low, but under the encouragement of He Tengjiao, it exploded with astonishing combat power, and even repelled the Qing army's attack twice in a row.

This made Kong Youde lose face a bit. The Han army flag under him is also a strong force in the army. Now he can't do anything to He Tengjiao's defeated generals. Wouldn't it make He Luohui see his own joke.

So Kong Youde went into battle in person, and the gunners of the Han army flag completely suppressed the Ming army on the city, but the Ming army on the city resisted very fiercely, and they still fought to the death.

Finally, after several days of bombardment, the red cannons of the Qing army finally collapsed a section of the city wall in the east city, and the Qing army swarmed into Xiangtan.

While the two sides were fighting in the streets, news came that the Ming army had appeared near Changsha City.Kong Youde knew that this must be the return of the Zhongzhen Camp to support Changsha, so after the two discussed, they decided that He Luohui would lead 7000 white banners to return to aid Changsha, while the main force of his Han army banner would stay in Xiangtan to eliminate the remnants of He Tengjiao.

Although He Tengjiao led his subordinates to resist desperately this time, there was a big gap between the combat power and military strength of the two sides. Kong Youde still completely occupied Xiangtan after paying the price of more than 2000 people.

In the past six months, the Qing army had not won many victories against the Ming army. The capture of a high-ranking official like He Tengjiao this time is also a rare victory.

Kong Youde personally appeared to persuade He Tengjiao to surrender, but unexpectedly, He Tengjiao not only sternly refused, but also scolded Kong Youde, saying: "If you forget your ancestors many times, you will die badly."

Kong Youde was so angry that he was furious, and wanted to kill He Tengjiao on the spot!
To be honest, he was really reluctant to kill He Tengjiao like this.This idiot gave Hunan away before, and this time he transferred the loyalty camp in Changsha.He Tengjiao's record alone is no less than tens of thousands of elite soldiers!

So Kong Youde suppressed his anger and took He Tengjiao to jail first.

After dealing with these matters, Kong Youde was about to inspect the city defense when he heard the alarm bell on the city, and a Qing army shouted: "The enemy attacked, and a large number of Ming troops began to besiege the city."

After hearing the alarm, Kong Youde hurried to the East City, where he had just blasted a big hole in the city wall. If the Ming army wanted to attack the city, they would definitely choose this place.

After boarding the east city, Kong Youde took a deep breath. There were tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and there were even a lot of Mongolian cavalry.According to the previous information, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalrymen from Horqin defected to Qian Mo, and the Mongolian cavalrymen actually appeared here. Could it be that the Zhejiang army has already entered Hunan?

Li Guo said excitedly: "The Qing army has already blown up the city wall for us, so I will not be polite!"

Soon the 5000 infantrymen of the Loyalty Battalion attacked east of the city with shields in hand.Behind them, countless Mongolian light cavalry used bows and arrows to provide them with fire support.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The Qing army on the city began to fight back with bird guns.

The Han army flag of Kong Youde's department is good at firearms, and they are also equipped with many bird guns made as much as possible, with a range of 60 steps.Although not as good as the Mongols' 70-step bow and arrow, the intensive firepower still caused a lot of casualties to the loyalty of the charge.

The blunderbusses of the Qing army directly penetrated the shields of the Ming army and killed many Ming soldiers.

But soon the Mongols' rain of arrows countered the Qing army, and many Qing troops were directly shot by feather arrows.

After a while, the Ming army rushed to the gap in the city wall and came out to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.

Although the Shenji Battalion did not come, the cavalry of the Huzhou Battalion were still equipped with 2000 Lumi blunderbuss. Soon Wang Zaixing commanded the cavalry to use the Lumi blunderbuss to shoot at the Qing army in the city.

With Lumi guns and Mongol bows and arrows, the Qing army in the city was completely beaten up.

Although Kong Youde desperately commanded batch after batch of Qing troops to try to block the gap, the Ming army's firepower was really fierce, and the Mongols' arrows rained into the city wave after wave.

The Qing army lasted about 2 sticks of incense, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and soon the Ming army entered Xiangtan City.

Although the Han Army Banner lost 3000 people in the east of the city, there were still 7000 people in the city at this time.They used the streets and city walls to engage in street fighting with the Ming army.

For a while, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" resounded throughout Xiangtan City!The battle lasted for 3 hours, from day to night.

The area occupied by the Qing army became smaller and smaller, and in the end only a few hundred people remained trapped in the Xiangtan County Government.

Seeing the disheveled Kong Youde, He Tengjiao laughed loudly and said, "King Gongshun, it seems that you don't have much time left!"

Kong Youde had nowhere to vent his anger, but He Tengjiao's ridicule made him even more angry.So he raised the knife in his hand and slashed at He Tengjiao's neck, and said viciously: "Even if I die, I will hold you back first!"

He Tengjiao's laughter stopped abruptly, blood continued to ooze from his neck, and he fell down unwillingly.

After Kong Youde kicked He Tengjiao's body hard, he realized that he had reached the last moment.

He tidied up his clothes, walked quietly into the lobby of the county office, recalled his life, and finally shouted: "My life is worth it!"

Then the soldiers outside the house lit the firewood in the lobby.

On September 1648th, the second year of Yongli (9), this villainous traitor, Kong Youde, the respectful king of the Qing Dynasty, set fire to himself in Xiangtan, Hunan!
