Chapter 232 Southerners have a backbone
ps: Thank you for the reward of "Book Friends 20190412105505499".
This tragic touch was similar to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty and tens of thousands of people who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea.
Who said that the Southerners have no backbone?
Who dares to say that the Southern people are not bloody?
From Chongzhen to the Qing army crossing the river to the south, on the tenth day of Yangzhou, on the eighty-one of Jiangyin, on the three massacres of Jiading, how many people died in the southerners? How many Tartars were killed?
What made some descendants so devastate the people of Jiangnan?
If there were no resistance from the southerners at all costs, and if the southerners were as concealed as the northerners, how could there be the tragic history of the Qing Dynasty that had been destroyed for more than 30 years?
The Ming people are bloody, and the southern people are even worse!
Jiangyin City should not have been broken like this.
Any counties around Jiangyin that have one or two respond and support may be able to persist for a longer time.
However, the other four counties that belonged to Changzhou Prefecture at that time obediently shaved their hair and became the Shunren of the Qing Dynasty.
This has to be sad. The river raises all kinds of people!
Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi, who were hundreds of miles away in Songjiang Prefecture, were also leading the rebel army to figure it out; Jiading Prefecture also suffered the same tragedy as Jiangyin City because of its rise to fight.
Maybe all this could have been avoided, but even if it is avoided, what can it be?
When prosperity occurs, the people suffer; when death occurs, the people suffer!
Just as Wu Zheng was thinking a lot, the old man lifted the wrapped linen cloth, "General, please see, this is the armor worn by the two Tartars kings who led a hundred people to climb the city that day. The two Tartars kings were killed and their heads were cut off. The hundred Tartars who led him to climb the city wall were also wiped out. Duke Yan asked someone to strip off these armors, but our army was guarding the city at that time, and they didn't use these, so they kept hoarding them in the temple tower in Xicheng. Now the general wants to conquer Changzhou, he will definitely be able to use it."
Wu Zheng took the first two steps and saw that the armor was made up of several layers of cowhide, one layer had a thick finger, let alone three layers?
The outermost layer is also covered with iron sheets. No wonder the gun stabbed or the knife cuts it.
Wu Zheng reached out and picked up a collar of armor, but he almost didn't pick it up.
Wu Zheng was not weak anymore, and he didn't pick up one hand at once, which surprised Wu Zheng.
After gathering strength, Wu Zheng lifted it up again with his right hand, and then he picked it up.
After a pause, Wu Zheng felt that this collar armor was at least fifty or sixty pounds. If he was a soldier with a physical body, he would probably not be able to walk after putting it on.
Qian Qiaogong walked forward curiously and took the armor from Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng deliberately relaxed his hand quickly, and Qian Qiaogong's hand suddenly sank. If he hadn't reacted quickly and handed the other hand, he would probably not be able to catch it with one hand and fell to the ground.
Qian Qiaogong's hands were bumped, and finally blushed his face and shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't use it."
The generals behind him were jealous of these armors and came forward to try them one by one. Unfortunately, no one volunteered to try on the armor.
Wu Zheng blushed a little, and none of his subordinates made him look good.
At this time, Wu Zheng missed Chi Erhan. If this kid were there, he would be able to withstand this collar armor.
The old man looked at Wu Zheng with a smile and said, "Why don't the general let other officers come and try it?"
Wu Zheng's eyes lit up, that physiques vary from person to person. It should not be difficult to find some strong ones among the thousands of troops, right?
So Wu Zheng ordered the forward army to return on the same route.
Fortunately, the army was moving forward not long after, and it only walked a few miles.
After a while, the army returned to the west gate of Jiangyin.
Sure enough, when I tried a hundred first-class officers, three of them could wear armor and walk freely.
These three are the leaders of the rebel army under Wu Yi, Sun Zhaokui, Shen Zibing, and Chen Zigu.
Seeing this, Wu Zheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered Sun Zhaokui as a household, Chen Zibing and Chen Zigui as a deputy household, and 100 strong people from the army to form a camp on the spot.
At this time, the old man led two teenagers aged 15 or 16 to Wu Zheng.
"This is the orphan of Huang Minggang who made a crossbow for Yan Gong at that time. His name is Huang Desheng. When the city was broken that day, he hid under the bridge and escaped. The Huang family has a lot of knowledge and may be able to serve the general." The old man pointed to a young man with a treacherous head and a treacherous head and said.
"Are you willing to join the army under my command?"
"If I can avenge my father, I will die!" the young man Huang Desheng replied.
Wu Zheng nodded, "Then follow me."
The old man pushed another young man forward, "This is Ji Conglian, the youngest younger brother of the rebel leader Ji Congxiao, who was worthy of his brother's heavy poison, and he can also serve the general."
The young man Ji Conglian knelt down on one knee to Wu Zheng and bowed, "I am willing to follow the general and kill all the Jianlu of Changzhou."
Wu Zheng was stunned, looked at Ji Conglian's eyes with a firm look, and nodded, "Not only the Jianlu of Changzhou, but also the Jianlu of the world, we must be cleared."
Ji Conglian changed his lips and said, "I am willing to follow the general and kill all the Jianlu in the world."
"Okay!" Wu Zheng praised.
With the help of the people of Jiangyin, a large tank of gunpowder was placed on the chariot, and the army drove away again.
Wu Zheng bowed to the people of Jiangyin opposite and shouted loudly: "It is not just a polite city, but Jiangyin is actually a country of loyalty and immortality. It is the pillar of the Yangtze River, and it is the southeast. On the day of the Northern Expedition, Wu Zheng will return here and erect a monument for the 100,000 loyal souls in Jiangyin City."
In Wu Zheng's view, the tenth day of Yangzhou was led by Shi Kefa to fight the regular army of the Ming Dynasty. This is a struggle for one regime to face another regime. Although it is also a great deal, it is also a matter of duty.
In Jiading, Uncle Wu Zheng fought with hundreds of warriors until the last moment and sacrificed his life to the country. Although it was tragic, it was also a matter of duty.
But Jiangyin City is different. This is the spontaneous struggle of ordinary people in a small county. Under the command of a retired Dian Shi Yan Yingyuan, he was determined to die and fought with more than 200,000 Qing troops. He persisted in a small lonely city for 81 days.
There were only 53 people left in the city with more than 90,000 people.
These talents are the real backbone of the Han people!!!
The achievements made in Jiangyin's anti-Qing are indeed individual examples and are not replicable.
First, it is the blood of the Jiangyin people, and secondly, it is the talent of the main general.
If it weren't for the command ability, personal charm and appeal of Yan Yingwu, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and others, it would be impossible for such achievements to be achieved if they changed to the commander.
This is not to belittle the abilities of other wise people from all over the world, but what happened in Jiangyin City is combined by countless prerequisites, with objectivity and certainly inevitable.
For example, before the Qing Dynasty was resisted by Jiangyin City, it had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. This does not mean that the people of Jiangyin had also taken the wrong path. After all, it was just ordinary people, and it was difficult to turn the tide and save the Ming Dynasty's country at a loss.
Therefore, after the Qing court issued the hair shaving order, the people of the whole city were led by the people of the people, and there was no doubt about this.
There is a saying that one soldier will be a bear, and one will be a bear.
At any time, one or several outstanding leaders are enough to rewrite history.
