Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 107 Azig, soldiers trapped in Yuhang
Outside the city of Hangzhou, Duoduo met Zhang Bingzhen, the peace envoy of King Lu, and he had a plan in his mind, saying, "Cross the sea with the sky hidden, and keep Chen Cang in secret."

Outside the city of Hangzhou, Doduo's [-] troops had no confidence in taking Hangzhou. At a time when they were in a dilemma, Ma Shiying persuaded King Lu to seek peace, and it was exactly what he wanted.

Now the military power of the Qing court is much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, Duoduo would not sincerely ask for peace, but he agreed to peace talks, but he had sinister intentions. First, Wang Yan's [-] troops entered Hangzhou, and he could not break through Hangzhou for a while, fearing that there would be another siege of Yangzhou, which would cost money, food and military force.Second, until July, the south of the Yangtze River was scorching hot, and the northern soldiers came from the bitter cold outside the customs, and they were often unwell and unable to fight for a long time.Third, it is possible to negotiate a peace to paralyze the Ming court, demanding annual tribute, and consuming its money and food. It is also possible to borrow the power of Ma Shiying to drive Wang Yan out of Zhejiang, so that Hangzhou has no money and no strong soldiers.

In order to convince Ming Ting of his sincerity in negotiating peace, Duoduo hastily withdrew from Hangzhou, and then returned to the north from Nanjing. However, after he returned to Nanjing, he secretly wrote a letter and ordered his confidants to send it to Prince Azig of Anqingying, saying that : "If Wang Shiheng's army goes out of Zhejiang, there will be no more soldiers in Zhejiang Province, which can stop the advance of the Qing army. Brother Wang should immediately raise the army, and the horse will step into Yuhang. Jiangnan will be settled in the first battle!"

Xilu Azige, repeatedly defeated the Dashun Army in March and April, and got the news that Li Zicheng had been killed in May. Then he felt that the bandits were in peace, and sent troops to the east to force the [-]th army of Zuo Menggeng to surrender. Anqing rest.

When Duoduo fought successively with the Ming army in Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Wuhu, Azig rested in Anqing for nearly two months.

After Azige received Duoduo's letter in Anqing, he immediately mobilized his army to prepare for war, and sent warships to blockade the Yangtze River, so as not to be informed by the Hangzhou court, so he made preparations.

Almost when Wang Yan was trapped in Nanjing, Azig also got the news that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng drove Wang Yan's army out of Yuhang. The army of Zhouzhou, as well as Wu Sangui and other Han troops with 15 troops, crossed the Yangtze River and went straight to Hangzhou.

The 25 troops of the Qing army passed through Chizhou, passed through Ningguo Mansion, and headed straight to Zhejiang Province. However, because the imperial court ceded the southern Zhili prefectures, the officials had been ordered to retreat to Hangzhou. Therefore, the Qing soldiers went straight to the former army without encountering resistance. When he reached Tianmu Mountain, Xia Yunyi, who was guarding Dusong Pass, heard the news, and he immediately turned pale with shock.

Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong were arranged by Ma Shiying to garrison in Dusongguan, Si'an Town and other places. When they left Hangzhou, they had less than a thousand soldiers and less than ten thousand silver. It is not yet a month, and the recruits are only a few hundred. How can they stop the 25 Qing soldier.

Xia Yunyi guarded the pass for three days, but was broken by the Qing army. He was escorted by the defeated soldiers and retreated from the pass wall. He felt sad, knowing that Hangzhou could not be defended.

From time to time, there is a desperate poem, which was written down for the surviving soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Zhuozai, my friend, Yuqiu, Guangcheng, Wuzhai, Shengru, 悫人, Yunsheng. I would like to follow my words and shake hands with Jiujing. Although people are not dead, they will not lose their hearts. Cultivate one's life and respect and encourage future generations. "

As soon as Dusong Pass was broken, the door of Zhejiang Province was opened wide. Chen Zilong guarded Si'an Town, originally to guard against Nanjing Qing soldiers, but he didn't want Azige to come from the west.

When Chen Zilong got Xia Yunyi's letter, he hurriedly mobilized more than [-] soldiers and went to support him. He walked halfway, but when he heard that Dusong Pass was broken, Xia Yunyi fell into the water and died. !"

Seeing this, the left and right hurriedly persuaded each other, and Chen Zilong wrote a late poem for Xia Yunyi: "Aspirations in the spring and autumn are really worthy, and there is no doubt about being loyal and filial."

At this time, the news that the Qing army invaded Zhejiang Province on a large scale and arrived in Hangzhou in a few days had already spread throughout Hangzhou with Xia Yunyi's report. King Lu was shocked, and Ma Shiying was too frightened to speak.

The imperial court was in chaos. Ruan Dacheng and other flying horses sent messages everywhere and hurriedly mobilized troops to serve the king. However, both Zhang Guowei, Yang Tinglin, and Li Yongmao were affected by the negotiation, and the recruitment of soldiers was hindered. Seeing that the imperial court had negotiated a peace, many volunteers returned Farming at home makes the ministers have no army to help.

After Chen Zilong learned that Dusongguan had fallen, he and Wu Risheng led troops to aid Hangzhou, but because of the small number of soldiers, they were defeated by the Qing army. There were only [-] people left in the [-] Ming army, and finally they had to retreat to Taihu Lake to take refuge. The Qing army chased him down.

On August 25th, Azig's army arrived in the west of Tang. Ma Shiying saw [-] Qing troops stretching endlessly, and was terrified. He was about to flee by boat, but he was dragged from the boat by soldiers from the Fang Guoan Department who came to pay him. Walk.

Ma Shiying didn't want the situation to come to this point, and felt remorse beyond measure. He waved his sleeves and wept, but accidentally fell into the water, and was picked up by Fang's soldiers and taken into Fang Guo'an barracks.

Immediately, Yingben was not a talent for saving the time. He was lucky enough to get a high position because of sudden changes in the situation. However, after more than a year in the cabinet, he caused the overthrow of the Nanjing and Hangzhou courts, which made future generations sigh.

The Qing army was powerful and Hangzhou could not be defended. Many officials ran south again. Ruan Dacheng and Zhu Dadian also fled from Fuyang to Wuzhou by Zhou.

Zuo Maodi, Huang Daozhou and other ministers, seeing the Qing army approaching the city, hurriedly went to Lu Wang's mansion to see Jian Guo, and wanted to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy, but they didn't know that Lu Wang had already decided to surrender to the Qing under Zhang Bingzhen's persuasion.

At noon, the Qing soldiers attacked Hangzhou on a large scale. After Fang Guoan, the general of the army, escaped from Zhenjiang, his soldiers and horses were not damaged, and there were nearly 2 soldiers in his hands. However, King Lu of the Qing Dynasty "paid his troops from the city with wine and food" frantically.

The officers and soldiers of the Fang Ministry, who were fighting fiercely with the Qing soldiers, suddenly lost their morale. Fang Yuanke and other generals looked at it, and their eyes turned red. With extreme indignation, they led the troops across Qiantang, and later participated in the support of the Lu Jianguo ranks.

Zuo Maodi, Huang Daozhou and other talents knew that King Lu wanted to dedicate the city to the Qing Dynasty, and they were extremely disappointed. They hurried out of the south gate, and met His Royal Highness Tang Wang who fled by boat, and fled to the south together.

Only one month after the fall of Nanjing, Hangzhou fell again. Countless scholars from the south crossing fell into the hands of the Qing army before they could react.

Gao Zhuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments (this king was originally martyred in Nanjing) when the Qing soldiers entered the city, he was unable to leave the city, scolded Lu Fan at home, and then hanged himself.

Wai Lang Hua Yongcheng, a member of the Department of Seal Inspection of the Ministry of Officials, said angrily: "There are no Li and Zhao inside, and there are no Han and Yue outside. The only one who can fight is Wang Shiheng, and he was forced out of Zhejiang. Now he wants to become Jianyan and Shaoxing, but he can't do it." !"

Qing soldiers entered the city, took the public lock, met Azig, and stood upright without kneeling. After all, Gong yelled at him from the beginning, and then he was beheaded.

Before Hua Gong died, he also left a poem about his fate, which said: "Death is like home and cannot be recruited. From then on, the lonely soul goes to the previous dynasty. A few white hairs should be hard to lose, but a loyal heart is not easy to disappear! Shijie has a spirit on the coast, Tianxiang There is no way to turn back the tide of the river. Mountains, rivers, deserts and deserts will always leave regrets, but the flock of gulls will accompany them in loneliness.” People shared it.

The city of Hangzhou fell, and countless officials and scholars who went south from Zhili in the south died in despair, and countless people threw water. Xu Qian, a bachelor, threw himself into the water; Ge Zhengqi, the minister of Guanglu Temple, threw himself into the water;
Unknown, righteous dead, uncountable, on the West Lake, there are even family members who died in a shipwreck. The kingdom has supported servants for 300 years. In times of adversity, loyalty is revealed!
