I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 70

"Sir...Sir, the Eight Banners masters have been defeated, and the Ming thieves...the Ming thieves have entered the city."

A house slave who came back from inquiring about the news breathlessly reported to the master in the mansion.

The Fucheng tycoon who had been lucky enough not to escape turned pale, and then waved his hand and shouted: "Quickly, block the door for me, and tell me to go down and bring the gold, silver, wine and meat to the master."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, the stewards and servants around him hurriedly went down to prepare.

Although in the rumors, those Ming thieves did not seem to be just bandits who only knew massacre and destruction, but this was a provincial capital and definitely ranked first in Fujian in terms of wealth.

If the rumors were wrong, or if this group of thieves became more vicious, it would be the end of the world.

Of course, if he really can't stand it anymore, this wealthy gentleman is also prepared to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Now he just hopes that the appetite of this thief will not be so big.

As for having no offense against Min Qiu...that's nonsense. How can any army have no offense against Min Qiu at this time?

There are many people who have the same idea as this Fucheng tycoon. Some of them have not had time to run away, some are reluctant to part with their wealth, and most of them have the same luck mentality.

Seeing that the government's Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers had not been able to resist for a whole day and had broken through the city so quickly, everyone quickly prepared to block the doors and prepare bribes with wine and meat.

Even Huang Bingyue led the remnant troops to retreat to Luocheng, and the wealthy gentry in Luocheng also made preparations to welcome the Ming Dynasty King's division.

No one thought that Huang Bingyue could withstand the Ming thieves' follow-up attack. He couldn't defend the outer city, so he still wanted to defend Luo City?

joke.

As for the people in the outer city, almost every household locked its doors, and even the roadside vendors closed up their stalls and hid in their homes after the news that the thieves were approaching the city reached the city.

As the Ming army entered the city in large numbers, the sounds of children crying could be heard from time to time on both sides of the originally silent streets, and then stopped quickly.

These common people covered their children's mouths and huddled in the corner of the house. Only some of the strong laborers peeked out through the cracks in the door and peeked out at the Ming army soldiers who were marching quickly on the street.

Due to Zhu Yijiong's previous instructions, Yang Gong issued an order before entering the city. After the army entered the city, rape and robbery were prohibited, and any offenders would be executed.

Two battalions were even specially mobilized from the first and second town armies to oversee inspections.

After all, what Zhu Yijiong and Daming need is a complete Fuzhou, not a broken Fuzhou.

Under the supervision of the patrol teams composed of the old battalions of the first and second towns, the new Ming army soldiers who were transferred from the original Green Camp Qing army were somewhat ready to make a move, but they did not dare to make fun of their lives.

Because anyone who dared to joke would be beheaded in the street by these old battalion patrol teams.

Furthermore, although the military pay and pensions of the Ming army were similar to those of the Qing army, they could actually be paid.

It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention the border troops, the local garrisons in other provinces have extremely serious problems of underpayment and corruption. Not only the Green Camp, but also the Eight Banners garrisons are no exception.

Normally, the military pay of these low-level green soldiers can be reduced by one-tenth. Even if the Shangguan is showing great kindness, it feels like a dream back to the late Ming Dynasty.

As for pension, what is that?
Therefore, compared with the military pay of the Ming army today, it can be said that it is a fairy life. In addition to the military pay, there are also additional rewards of land allocation. These low-level soldiers really do not have to ruin their lives and the good life in the future just for plunder.

Those who dare to stir up trouble are those who were used to being domineering in the past. They have not changed their minds for a while. Most of the new troops are still very aware of current affairs.

It didn't take long. With the patrol team patrolling around and posting notices to protect the public, the security situation in the outer city quickly stabilized.

When the people in the outer city saw that the Ming thieves seemed to be innocent of the crime, they even chopped off the heads of several thieves and soldiers who committed crimes in the street. Well, no, they were officers and soldiers.

The originally fearful heart gradually calmed down, and some wealthy gentry took the initiative to open the door of their houses and came to work with wine, meat, gold and silver.For this kind of thing, Yang Gong naturally refused to accept anyone who came. On the one hand, he could make money for the army, and on the other hand, he could appease the emotions of these wealthy gentry in the city and let them understand that they, the Ming Dynasty, were not ordinary rebel bandits.

As the outer city area was quickly controlled by the Ming army, Huang Bingyue, who had retreated to Luocheng, also ushered in the end.

The Ming army just slowly surrounded Luocheng. They didn't even bother to encircle three buildings. They directly blocked all the gates of Luocheng, and then let the prisoners of the Eight Banners captured before take turns to go up and shout to persuade them to surrender.

Almost half of the incense sticks were not used up before the Eight Banners defenders at Lishe and Tongjin gates opened the city gates on their own and led the Ming army in.

As the Ming army entered the city in large numbers, the remnants of the Eight Banners who retreated to Luocheng completely gave up resistance. Most of them dropped their weapons without hesitation and knelt down to beg for mercy.A small number of people were afraid of massacre by the Ming army, so they took off their armor and hid in private houses.

Huang Bingyue was lying on the top of the city, watching the Ming troops filing in from several city gates. His eyes were about to burst, and he was about to curse, but he felt a pain in his chest.

Looking back, he saw the lieutenant general who had previously advised him to retreat to the inner city, holding the handle of the knife with a cold expression on his face, and most of the blade had been sunk into his back.

Huang Bingyue opened his mouth, but he felt a sweet taste in his throat and couldn't say a word.

"Sir, if I want to survive as a subordinate, I can only borrow your head." After saying this, the lieutenant drew out his long knife.

Warm blood sprayed on the deputy general's armor and face. The deputy general even stuck out his tongue and took a lick. Then he raised his blood-stained sword and shouted: "The dog thief Huang Bingyue is dead. Brothers, follow me and surrender to Master Wang." , let’s win him a bright future together…”

"Bo you are such a cunt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of Huang Bingyue's soldiers took advantage of the deputy general's defenselessness and chopped him to the ground.

Then, the two waves of soldiers reacted, and then they fought together.

As for the chopped-down lieutenant, he fell directly next to Huang Bingyue's body. He proved with his life and wealth that not everyone in front of the formation could successfully attack and kill the general.

Even when the situation is clear...

The time from the destruction of Luocheng to the Ming army ascending the tower, planting the Ming flag while searching for the remnants of the enemy, to the discovery of the bodies of Huang Bingyue, his lieutenants and surviving soldiers, was only about half an hour.

When he learned that Huang Bingyue, the general of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, and his deputy actually killed each other in front of the formation and "died together", Yang Gong couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.

All right!He seemed to have done the same thing half a year ago, but his former boss Ouyang Kai had no military morale, so he succeeded very easily.

Without further ado, in the evening of that day, the Ming army basically cleared away all the remaining Eight Banners soldiers hiding in Luo City.After the war, after counting, the Ming army captured a total of more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people. However, our own casualties were only a few hundred people, all of which were Wang Zongtan's four new army troops.Whoever lets them see the former Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers will fight the hardest.

As for those Qing court officials who were hiding in Luocheng, they were almost all the senior officials at the Fuzhou Daotai, Supervisory and Envoy level. They all hanged themselves or took poison when the city was breached.

The remaining middle and low-level officials were all willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, including the two Fuzhou magistrates of Fuzhou Prefecture, Hou Guan and Min County.

Although he failed to catch the big fish at the level of the chief envoy, most of the remaining ones were willing to surrender. Yang Gong still accepted all the comers and sent the report back to Quanzhou Prefecture.

If the Ming army's separatist rule in Taiwan could only be regarded as a local rebellion in the eyes of the Qing court, when it conquered Quanzhou, it became a somewhat troublesome Ming thief.

Until now, even the capital of Fuzhou has fallen. Not to mention the central government of the Qing Dynasty, at least Fujian officials have realized that these Ming thieves... no, it is the Ming army. This Ming army has truly gained the strength and confidence to dominate.

So, it seems that surrendering to the Ming army at this time is not unacceptable.

There are even many frustrated careerists who are ready to take action. Maybe if they give it a try at this time, they really have a chance to become a dragon and soar into the sky?

　I want to resume updates

　　(Forgot to mention, Luocheng is the inner city, and there are sub-cities inside. The three lanes and seven lanes are in Luocheng)
