Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 753 Chinese Punishment
Jiangdongmen, the entire battle to capture the fort lasted less than an hour, which satisfied Wang Yan who was watching the battle.

This is also the result of his low morale after the Qing army was defeated in Boluo and the Ming army approached the city.

Standing on the tower, Wang Yan told the generals behind him: "The Hekou Fort has fallen into my hands, and Nanjing will be a dead city when Gan Hui takes down the Guabu Mountain Fort. When the mausoleum is taken down, the clan will pay homage to Emperor Taizu Gao, and the coffin of Emperor Daxing will be temporarily parked next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. Then send an order to Jin Shenghuan to bring down Zijin Mountain, and the clan will bombard the city. Also, I heard that after Li Yuanyin served in the Fuzhou mine, he was good at digging tunnels and using gunpowder, and someone sent an order to him to see if the tunnels could be dug into the city. This feudal clan must take a multi-pronged approach and must take Nanjing."

"No!" After listening to Wang Yan's order, several people clasped their fists and bowed, with excited expressions on their faces.

Wang Yan gazed at the Nanjing City Wall on the other side of the Qinhuai River, and waved his hands back, telling them to step back and do it quickly.

Gao Yigong and the others hurriedly turned around and walked down the city.

At this moment, Liu Shun and Man Dazhuang jumped up the city wall from the steps excitedly.

"Your Highness, more than 1000 of the [-] Green Battalion soldiers surrendered, and the rest were killed!" As soon as Liu Shun went to the city, he saw Wang Yan's back and reported loudly.

"The Hekou Fort is occupied. As long as General Gan can take down the Guabu Mountain Fort, the general will immediately lead the navy to block the river and cut off the communication between Nanjing and Jiangbei." Man Dazhuang also rushed forward.

After Wang Yan heard this, he turned around and nodded, "That's right, this feudal clan counts both of you as a great achievement for taking down the fort so quickly!"

Liu Shun was overjoyed and flattered, "It's all thanks to His Majesty's majesty. In this battle, more than 40 red-clothed cannons were seized. The sons also captured the Qing general Sun Youguang, and several red-haired barbarians. !"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a few soldiers behind him came forward, escorting several people.

Hu Hengyuan still had blood on his body, and he didn't wipe it off. He pushed Sun Youguang, then kicked him and knelt on the ground.

A few red-haired ghosts on the side were being escorted, but they were still struggling. When the captain of the Netherlands saw Wang Yan, he shouted in broken Chinese: "Dear Your Excellency, we Dutch people, request Civilized treatment!"

Wang Yan frowned, this group of He barbarians did not count their troubles in the South China Sea, but they even ran to Nanjing, his expression immediately sank.

He ignored these He Yi, glanced at Sun Youguang, and asked the people around him: "Sun Youguang? Hong Chengchou asked him to guard the fort, what's the details?"

Sun Youguang bowed his head and knelt without speaking, as if he was in despair.

Xu Taichu took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, this man is the son of Sun Degong! Zhengbai Banner Jiala Ezhen!"

"Is it the Guangning guerrilla Sun Degong who betrayed Wang Huazhen and Chen Qu's 13 troops to Nurhachi and helped Nurhachi kill all of these 10,000+ comrades in Shaling?" Wang Yan turned his head and raised his eyebrows.

Yu Taichu nodded, Wang Yan confirmed it was correct, with disgust in his eyes, he waved his hand and said: "Sun Degong's family, we should all be executed. Pull them down and cut them up, send their heads to Nanjing City, and attach a letter to the green camp in the city. This is the end of the world!"

"No!" Upon hearing the order, Yu Taichu clasped his fists and bowed, then waved his hands, and the two soldiers stepped forward immediately.

During the whole process, Wang Yan didn't say a word to Sun Youguang, and many generals and civil servants beside him also had no objection, even if he followed the normal Ming law, Sun Youguang would have to die like this.

Sun Youguang also knew that his father had done evil, and he would definitely end badly if he fell into the hands of the Ming army. He wanted to commit suicide, but he didn't have the courage, so he was captured.

When he heard Wang Yan's words, fear instantly appeared on his already desperate face, and he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, give me a treat~ give the sinner a treat~"

Two soldiers set him up, and another officer stepped forward, without saying a word, directly smashed his mouth with a knife handle, smashing his mouth and teeth, and then dragged him down the city involuntarily.

Seeing this, the red-haired ghosts felt terrified.

At this time, Wang Yan glanced at the Dutchmen again, and immediately waved his hand, "Pull them all down and cut them up!"

Without waiting for Yu Taichu's instructions, several soldiers stepped forward with their knives. The red-haired ghost's Chinese language skills are limited, but just now he said he was cut, and Sun Youguang's teeth were smashed when he came up. The red-haired ghost is not stupid, and immediately struggled: "Ming is a civilized country, and I want to be treated like a gentleman!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuanjing from the Ministry of Rites frowned, stepped forward and walked to Wang Yan's side, and bowed to persuade him: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to kill these Hongyi directly!"

Wang Yan frowned, "What does Gu Gebu mean?"

"The red-haired barbarians invaded the South China Sea, intervened in the war in the south of the Yangtze River, and secretly assisted the Qing court. They are indeed guilty, but their country is thousands of miles away, and it is not convenient for me to conquer it. This time they have seen the power of my soldiers, and they must have known themselves. It’s just that Yelang is arrogant. So it’s better to reprimand him and release him, firstly, to spread his reputation so that the red-haired barbarians don’t dare to harass the South China Sea, and secondly, it can show our mind of the heavenly dynasty!” Gu Yuanjing said.

What to put?Before Wang Yan could speak, Hu Hengyuan panicked, but regardless of his status, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, you can't let go! This group of red-haired ghosts helped the Qing army, killed and wounded more than 20 of our brothers, this revenge must be avenged!" "

Liu Shun also clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the South China Sea is already fighting, so what's the point of benevolence and righteousness? This red-haired barbarian is no different from the Tartars. Only by beheading them can they be deterred. It makes no sense to talk about morality!"

When Wang Yan heard that this gang of red-haired barbarians had killed and wounded more than 20 soldiers, his face sank. He first waved his hand to signal Hu Hengyuan and Liu Shun that there is no need to say more, and then said: "Back then, the red-haired barbarians occupied Penghu. The army was defeated, and the imperial court comforted them with good words, hoping that they would repent and know the favor of Ming Dynasty, but this group of red-haired barbarians was not grateful, and instead occupied Taiwan. In recent years, they have frequently harassed the South China Sea, affecting trade, Meddling in Chinese affairs. At the end of last year, Ben Fan started a complete war with the Hongmao Yi. If they were at war, there was nothing else to say. They actually rushed to Nanjing and helped the Qing army fight, so they had to pay the price. China has Poetry etiquette, vast culture, if you are a guest, you will naturally treat him with courtesy, if you are an enemy, you will have to taste the punishment of our country."

Wang Yan's waist is thick now, Gu Yuanjing clasped his fists slightly when he heard what he said, and bowed back.

Wang Yan then waved his hand and said, "Drag on!"

Hearing the order to escort the Hongmaoyi soldiers, he immediately took them out of the city.

When they left the city, the shouts faded away, but Liu Shun waved his hand again, and a soldier behind him immediately presented two items, a red-haired musket and a red-haired armor.

"Your Highness, this is Hongmaoyi's firecracker and armor. The brothers said that this firecracker is very sharp, and this armor is hard to hurt by a sword!"

Wang Yan didn't pick it up to look at it. The military inspector had already obtained these things. He smiled slightly and said, "When Nanjing is conquered and the finances improve, this kind of self-generated firecrackers will be equipped on a large scale by the clan!"
