Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 547: nowhere

Looking at Big Brother Tam Wen, who fell to the ground and couldn't rest, Tan Hong couldn't bear it, and there was a hint of regret. However, Tan Yi calmly ordered the bodies of Tan Wen and Mou Sheng to be dragged out, and then called Feng Jingming, the commander in chief, and ordered him to immediately go to the Linjiang Gate in Chongqing to call and contact the defenders in the city to discuss surrender.

Tan Yi's decision to surrender to the Qing Dynasty had communicated with his generals as early as on the way to Chongqing. Those who did not want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty were killed by him, and the rest were waiting to shave their hair and protect their wealth. Therefore, Feng Jingming, who had been prepared for a long time, was not at all surprised by the death of Tan Wen and others, and took the order to leave.

When leaving the tent, Tan Hong caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a braid hanging under Feng Jingming's hat. Taking a closer look, Tan Yi's subordinates had all shaved their hair and tied their braids. He couldn't help but move his cheeks. When he looked back at Tan Yi, The other party had already taken off his hat and sat on the stool, and a personal soldier was shaving his forehead with a sharp razor.

Seeing Tan Hong's appearance, Tan Yi chuckled lightly, both persuading and ordering: "This is the end of the matter, the third brother should also sit down and shave."

Tan Hong sat down silently and let Tan Yi's personal soldiers come to shave his hair.

Under the oil lamp, there was a pool of blood and black hair.

Touching his bald head, Tan Yi laughed and asked his soldiers to fetch a mirror. He was very satisfied when he took a look at it.

Tan Hong also touched his bald head, but instead of looking in the mirror, he stared at the pool of blood and hair on the ground with a long sigh.

"Third brother regrets?"

Tan Yi calmly walked to Tan Hong's side.

Tan Hong sighed softly: "Parents who have skin and skin, and ancestors who inherit clothes and clothes, it is really unfilial to abandon them today. If it wasn't for the sake of the Tan family, I would not agree with the second brother, and I would not agree with the eldest brother."

"It's useless to say anything now. If it wasn't for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I wouldn't have any intention of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty."

"Second brother, if our ancestors saw us like this after we died, would they forgive us?"

Tan Yi was stunned and did not speak.

Tan Hong shook his head and said a little tiredly: "Second brother presides over the following matters. I don't want to deal with the Qing army."

After speaking, Tan Hong stepped out of the tent and disappeared into the night without looking back. For a long time, Tan Yi giggled disdainfully, thinking that these three younger brothers are really mother-in-law, things have already been done, why are there so many thoughts, what are the ancestors, but dead people. In this world, the dead are not able to intervene, nor are the dead able to decide!

Now, it will be up to him to decide the gains and losses of Chongqing.

(Author's Note: Tan Hong restored his clothes during the rebellion of the San Francisco, raised his army against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. He died, both sons were martyred, and the Tan family died. Before Tan Hong died, he left a message to say that the children of the Tan family would be cut off, and he would not disgrace his ancestors and not be a Qing person. )

......

Feng Jingming was ordered by Tan Yi to sneak to the bottom of Linjiang City to shout. After the Qing soldiers on the city heard it, it took a while to react from the shock, and hurriedly informed the chief soldiers Cheng Tingjun and Wang Mingde.

Wang Mingde and Cheng Tingjun were both dumbfounded and couldn't believe that Ertan outside the city was going to surrender, because the Ming army under Chongqing was three or four times as many as the Qing army in the city, and they had just completely encircled Chongqing, and the second general lost to defending Chongqing. Confidence, holding on to the idea that one day is more than one day. Now suddenly there is the good news that the Ming army is about to surrender, which makes the second general stunned and unbelievable.

After some hesitation, Wang Mingde asked someone to pull Feng Jingming to the top of the city, but when Feng Jingming got in front of the two of them, he took off his hat without saying anything, revealing his bald head, the one at the back of his head was just braided. His rattail braid looked so hideous and close under the torches.

"My Lord Marquis has decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and kill Tan Wen, cut the hair of the entire army, and sent me to contact the city!"

"Is this true?"

Cheng Tingjun felt that he was almost speechless, and Wang Mingde was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out. This matter was too mysterious, but after thinking about it, it made sense. That Er Tan Xuan surrendered at this time, but It's better than choosing to surrender at any time, and it's wonderful!

To be cautious, Wang Mingde said to Feng Jingming, "How can this official believe that you didn't come to Yucheng?"

Feng Jingming hurriedly said: "If the general doesn't believe it, he can send someone to follow me to the camp to have a look. The head of Fuhou Tan Wen is in the tent of my marquis!"

"Oh?!"

When they heard that Tan Wen was killed, Wang Mingde and Cheng Tingjun changed their expressions, and their eyes were full of ecstasy. The two discussed a few words in private, and then sent a few cronies to follow Feng Jingming down the city to sneak into the Tan Yi camp to verify.

Half an hour later, the few cronies came back excitedly and told the anxious Wang Mingde and Cheng Tingjun, that Tan Yi and Tan Hong really betrayed the Ming Dynasty outside the city, and that Fu Hou Tan Wen's head was really in Tan Yi's tent!

"Emperor Hongfu, Daqing Hongfu, Chongqing is saved, saved!"

Wang Mingde was so excited that he was only about to jump up. There was no way out. The situation that he had been waiting for to die was miraculously reversed, which made him ecstatic.

Cheng Tingjun was also overjoyed, and his opponent said: "Er Tan is very decisive, and the timing is good. The court and the governor must be overjoyed when they learn about this. Er Tan is a great wealth."

In addition to Feng Jingming, who came back with a few cronies, there were also several generals under Tan Yi. They told Wang Mingde and Cheng Tingjun that the Ming Dynasty governor Wen Anzhi was leading Kuidong soldiers Li Laiheng, Hao Yaoqi and other troops. , If they came, it would be difficult for the situation in Chongqing to change only with Er Tan's troops.

........

Across the sea, the true character of a hero is revealed!

Li Laiheng is Li Guo's adopted son and Li Zicheng's grandnephew. This man is really a hero. After Gao Bizheng and Li Guo died in the war, the army was leaderless. Li Laiheng, who was only 21 years old, stepped forward and contacted the rest of the Shunjun to form the thirteenth army in Kuidong and continue to hold high the banner of anti-Qing and the Qing Dynasty. Bloody battle. Therefore, if it weren't for Li Laiheng, the rest of the Shun army would have been disintegrated ten years ago and wiped out one by one by the Qing army.

That Hao Yaoqi was also a hero. In his early years, Li Zicheng was a mid-banner player in the army. He was brave and good at fighting. He was appointed by He Tengjiao, the governor of Nanming, as the deputy commander of the commander. He led his troops to defeat the Qing army repeatedly, and once severely damaged the Qing army in Quanzhou, Guangxi, and was regarded as one of the big pirates by the Qing court.

Hearing that the old leaders of Wen, Xiao Chuangwang and Hao Dakou were coming to Chongqing with more than 20,000 troops, Wang Mingde and Cheng Tingjun felt their scalps go numb. As those Ming generals said, if this Ming army arrives, even if there are thousands of troops and horses from Tan Yi and Tan Hong to help fight, most of Chongqing will not be able to hold it.

"The two generals don't have to worry. Li Laiheng and others are good at fighting, but it will take a few days at the earliest to get to Chongqing. So my Marquis decided to take advantage of Yuan Zongdi and the others to attack the city tomorrow to raid Tan Wenbu, who has food and grass. The barracks. Those generals under Tan Wen still don't know that Tan Wen is dead, so they must not guard against the surprise attack of my marquis, and they will collapse. At that time, my marquis will lead troops to attack Yuan Zongdi's barracks, and the two generals will lead their troops out of the city to hold Yuan Zong back. The second-class person, my Marquis, will be able to take all the food and grass that was stationed in Yuan Zongdi's military camp. As a result, even if Wen Zhizhi and Li Laiheng came over, it would be impossible to persist in Chongqing. Not only can they not stay in Chongqing. , before next year's grain harvest, the Kuidong soldiers will no longer be able to pose a threat to Chongqing."

After Wang Mingde and Cheng Tingjun discussed the plan, they thought that Tan Yi's strategy was feasible, and immediately agreed to act according to this strategy. The two sides set the signal for the appointment of troops and prepare for it separately. The next day, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, He Zhen and others, who were in the dark, continued to attack the city according to the previous strategy, exhausting the defenders in the city, and the barracks where Yuan Wen's army was located suddenly caught fire, and then Tan Yi's soldiers attacked the empty force. Yuan Zongdi's barracks. At this point, Kui Dongbing knew that Er Tan had betrayed.

Yuan Zongdi and other generals were furious and wanted to draw troops to attack Ertan, but the Qing army in the city suddenly rushed out of the city. Under the attack of the Qing army and Ertan soldiers and horses, and the food and forage were seized, the Kuidong soldiers were confused for a while and had to retreat in a hurry. For a time, countless people overturned and fell into the water on the Yangtze River. The Ming army was defeated, and the Qing army pursued it all the way to the Tongluo Gorge mouth, which was more than 20 miles downstream. In this battle, in addition to the rebellion of Er Tan, Fu Hou Tan Wen and Zhenbei General Mou Sheng were killed, and the chief soldier Yuan Jinxiao was also drowned in the rioting army. Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were injured or killed in Kuidong, and less than 10,000 soldiers were safely withdrawn.

After receiving the emergency from Chongqing, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, hurriedly led the army to Baoning. When he reached Hechuan, he suddenly received the news of Chongqing's relief from the siege. As if he was happy from the sky, he immediately asked the Qing court for Tan Yi to seal Xianghuahou and Tan Hong as Muyi. Hou.

..........................................

After retreating from Chongqing, the morale of the Ming army was low, and groups of unarmed soldiers threw away their weapons and sat sluggishly tugging their knees on the boat, with no expressions on their faces. The officers gathered together, gritted their teeth and cursed Er Tan not to die.

Yuan Zongdi was sitting on a boat, besides him, there were old comrades He Zhen and Liu Tichun. At the time of Tan Yi's mutiny, the Ming army navy on the river braved the artillery fire of Chongqing to respond to their own troops and horses to retreat. Because of the limited number of ships, many soldiers could not board the ship, and were slaughtered by the Qing army who arrived later on the riverside. Due to the limited number of people on some ships, the officers on board can only grit their teeth and order people to use spears to stab those soldiers who forcibly boarded the ship, otherwise the ship will not be able to drive at all.

Tan Wenyu's troops and Kui Dong's generals failed to organize an effective counterattack. At that time, it was too chaotic. Er Tan suddenly turned against the enemy so that no one thought of it, and they could only take care of themselves in the chaos. Yuan Zongdi struggled to gather the remaining warships of the navy, and successfully escaped the pursuit of the Qing army.

Liu Tichun was very unwilling. It was obvious that Chongqing was about to break down, but in the end this was the situation. He **** all the eighteen generations of Er Tan's ancestors once, but no matter how hard he scolded it, he couldn't change the fact that he was defeated, and he couldn't adapt the fact that Er Tan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

When He Zhen retreated, she was hit by a Qing army gun in her leg, which would be tied with a cloth strip, and she would find Langzhong to take out the gun after she went back.

Yuan Zongdi turned around, sighed, and said worriedly, "I don't know if Lao Pagoda and the others ran out."

"The old tower is out, let's be on the boat behind." He Zhen gritted her teeth when she spoke, because the leg injury was too painful.

Liu Tichun stopped cursing Er Tan, and asked Yuan Zongdi, "Old Yuan, what should we do now? Master Wen, Little Tiger, Hao Yaoqi and the others are coming, or we should wait for them and do it later. ?"

He Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "The food is gone, what should I do?"

"Go and meet with the Wen Inspector first, and then everyone is ready to go home."

Yuan Zongdi said bitterly, this battle has been defeated, and there is no food and grass, no matter how many troops and horses come, it is useless. The most urgent task is to quickly withdraw to the base area, otherwise, I don't know how many people will starve to death along the way. Furthermore, they responded to the call of the **** Pang and the Wen supervisor to attack Chongqing, and they brought all the elite soldiers under their command. The only ones who stayed in their hometown were the old and the weak.

After listening to Yuan Zongdi's words, Liu Tichun and He Zhen were both silent. For two days in a row, everyone had nothing to say, and they only wanted to join the Wen Supervisor and the others quickly, and then get some food from the little tiger to support their hometown. As for the matter of sending troops to attack Chongqing again, everyone thought about it. .

On the third day, the retreating Ming army fleet suddenly ushered in a fast boat from downstream. The person on board was a lieutenant under Li Laiheng, the king of Xiao Chuang. The lieutenant obviously did not think that Yuan Zongdi and the others were defeated in Chongqing, so he originally wanted to deliver the letter in Chongqing. When the convoy came down, the men and horses on the ship were all in rags, and most of them didn't even have weapons. Know that Chongqing must be defeated. However, the lieutenant was only surprised for a moment, so he calmed down, found Yuan Zongdi, and handed Li Laiheng's letter to Yuan Zongdi.

"General Yuan, the letter from King Xiao Chuang to you, I ask you to take someone back quickly."

Little tiger sent a letter to let us go back?

Yuan Zongdi, He Zhen, and Liu Tichun were all strange: Didn't the little tiger come to Chongqing with the Governor Wen and Hao Yaoqi?

Confused, Yuan Zongdi opened Li Laiheng's letter. He was literate. What's wrong? The old nest is called Tartar occupied? "

Liu Tichun was terrified, thinking that the Qing army in Hubei had attacked in the emptiness of Kuidong.

He Zhen also endured the pain in her leg and stood up with the support of her own soldiers, looking at Yuan Zongdi with a worried expression.

Yuan Zongdi shook his head, his face was very strange: "The little tiger sent a letter saying that we should stop fighting Chongqing, and quickly follow him to Hunan."

"Go to Hunan? Is the little tiger crazy?"

He Zhen and Liu Tichun were both stunned. The Qing troops in Hubei and Hunan blocked the road from Kuidong to Hubei and Hunan. How did they get there? If they could go to Hunan, they would have gone there as early as eight poles, and they would have stayed in Kuidong.

"Little tiger said that the Qing army in Hunan is anyway, and made way for us to enter Hunan."

Yuan Zongdi handed the letter to Liu Tichun, who was literate. Liu Tichun was startled again, and subconsciously took the letter. After reading it, he was as stunned as Yuan Zongdi just now. After a while, he murmured, "How is this possible?" (To be continued.)
