Chapter 184 of Emperor Yongli: Defend Kunming

The Jinyiwei took a deep breath. Finally, he clenched his fist and pushed towards the sky. He shouted: "The New Emperor has an order. Any city and village that has been restored will be copied and divided equally as long as there is a full industry. All the land occupied by the Eight Banners will be distributed!"

Quiet, terrible quiet, the numb people's breathing began to increase. They knew very well the value of the Eight Banners soldiers. Although the small Liangshan was surrounded by poor mountains and ridges, all the fertile land outside the city belonged to these hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers. They also had their homelands, the gold and silver they stored, and the women they plundered. There is no doubt that compared to Liangshan City, this is a huge wealth. Although there are many people in Liangshan, they can evenly divide it. Each person can get at least a few coins of silver.

How many dollars is money? Maybe it’s nothing in the sea. But in this poor small town where people have invaded and washed away, there are food for many people a month or even several months.

"Long live!" Someone clenched his fists and shouted loudly with red eyes: "Long live the Ming Dynasty. Long live His Majesty the New First Emperor. Rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Exit Di Yi!"

"Anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Expel Di Yi!" Countless people roared.

"Long live!"

In an era when nationalist theory has not yet been formed, the Han people are very realistic. They are willing to accept the rule of anyone. As long as the court does not ban miscellaneous taxes, the government should not overly squeeze. As long as there is a bowl of rice and food, the whole family does not have to starve to death. They will work for the prosperous times with peace of mind. If someone promises them, they will go crazy for it. Even put their heads on their belts and follow you to the dark.

It was successful. The Jinyiwei breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere became clear. The next work was easy to do.

As expected by Jinyiwei, after the enthusiasm, a smart people raised a question that suffocated everyone.

"Official, you said you would give us the property of Manren. What if the Qing army fought back? Our things will be plundered back again. Maybe Manren will become more powerful. You can leave. But we have lived here for hundreds of years. Where can we go?"

We have to admit that everyone is very realistic. When the meager profits have to be paid very much danger, no one is willing to risk beheading. It is the nature of everyone to seek profit and avoid harm. No one wants to be counterattacked by the Qing army after they get a few dollars. In the end, the disaster will end up in trouble.

It has to be said that the Jinyiwei is well-trained. After intense training and many field speeches, they have accumulated a lot of experience and experience. When they heard this question, the Jinyiwei's first reaction was to laugh. He showed disdainful contempt for the Qing army. Then he exaggerated the words and constantly promoted the victory of the Ming army in wars such as Myanmar, Java, Siam, Northern Myanmar, Yunnan, and constantly highlighted the image of the Ming army winning every battle.

The people finally felt relieved. They raised their fists high and shouted wildly that the work was completed. But this did not mean the end of the work. The newly established prefect government office would ask the people to go to the yamen to collect the property of the people. The property was not much. Each person would convert a total of five cents of silver. And each person who went to collect the money would sign a book. This is the top priority. As long as someone signed it, no matter whether he was a Han or Miao or a Hong, his fate would be associated with the Ming army.

Every signed people became the culprit for the full amount of land. Every person who pressed his handprints became an accomplice of the Ming army. Now they have the money and land. This means that they are covered with blood. What if the Qing army once broke through Liangshan City? It means that all the people in the city are rioters and rebels. When all the people in the local area happily received the property, they will understand the reason why the Ming army is there, they are there, and the Ming army is dead. They will also die.

A few days later, the old county magistrate was appointed as the prefect of Liangshan. Wang Debao was awarded the garrison of Liangshan. They worked with all the green camp soldiers in the rebellion to form a paramilitary new recruit camp. Their task was to defend Liangshan City. The Ming army continued to go north under the leadership of Li Dingguo. The decisive battle had just begun. The main force of the Eight Banners soldiers of Manchu and Mongolia was still there. Li Dingguo expected that the battlefield that truly determined the survival of the two armies should be under the city of Chengdu. He could no longer delay. The longer the time delayed.

The more time the Qing court would have to react. Once the Qing army in Gansu and Shaanxi entered Sichuan for rescue, the entire Northern Expedition Army would suffer a heavy blow. The city was 60,000 Guangxi, and the Qing army from Guizhou quickly broke into Yunnan. There was no resistance along the way and arrived at the city of Kunming. The Guizhou-Guangdong coalition forces were led by Zhao Fu, the remaining troops of Wu Sangui, and the Guizhou Admiral Nikan. After the two armies met under the city of Kunming, they immediately saw the opportunity. They decided to send troops to attack the city that day.

The siege seemed both hasty and dangerous. Driven by officers, the 30,000 Qing troops were frantically holding big swords and spears, holding a ladder, and charging under Kunming City. There were crowds of people under the city walls. The shouts of killing like courage were resounding.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The roar of artillery came from the top of the city. Flowering bullets mixed with iron nails smashed under the city like a pouring out. The Ming army on the city wall held up a series of muskets and poked out from the gap in the female wall. With the wave of the command flags, they recharged, aimed, and shot repeatedly.

The patrol team composed of Dai, Miao, White, Tibetan and other tribes carried a long pole and patroled the city walls and gates to prevent people from hitting the city gates or climbing up the city walls.

The ammunition of cannons and muskets fell under the city like raindrops. There was no need to aim at it. Then piles of corpses left on the ground. The timid green camp soldiers began to retreat. The crazy Liaodong army and the Eight Banners soldiers still rushed forward desperately. Finally, someone boarded the cloud ladder. Some began to climb up the cloud ladder. Then countless huge rocks and burnt tung oil began to roll down the city wall. Some people screamed and fell on the ground. The Guanning army and the Eight Banners soldiers behind were still climbing up desperately. They bit their braids frantically, holding weapons in one hand, and holding the ladder in the other hand, and climbing on the city wall like a madman. They never died.

Mu Jianming stood on the city tower and kept looking at the Qing army under the city with a monocular telescope. A trace of worry was revealed between his eyebrows. The Qing army's offensive on the first day was so fierce. He did not expect it. He thought that the Qing army would retreat with so much firepower. He could not have expected that the Eight Banners and Guanning Army would be so tenacious. Fortunately, he was not careless before the siege and transferred all the artillery to the city wall to defend.

Finally, a few Eight Banners soldiers climbed up the female wall. They danced wildly with swords and jumped into the corridor of the city wall. Unfortunately, they met bad people and met someone who was more cruel than them. Before the Eight Banners soldiers had already started, the soldiers of various tribes patrolling the corridors cut them into meat paste even more crazier than them.

The bravery and ruthlessness are always the patent of people living in an extremely difficult environment. The former mankind suffered all the hardships in the white mountains and black waters, and then they burst out with such powerful power. But they have been eroded by their wealth and wealth. They are no longer as powerful as they used to fight. What is more cruel than them are the villagers who grew up in poor mountains and ridges. They have walked barefoot among the mountains since they were young. They have learned to use various crude weapons to hunt wild animals to make delicious food. They are shirtless and can be exposed to the sun.

It is unmoving. It can lurk in the bushes filled with mosquitoes and wait for the appearance of its prey. They fight with wolves and are neighbors with hungry tigers. Their prey will be automatically eliminated. Only those with strong bodies can survive. These strong warriors trained in natural environments are right in front of these Qing soldiers. If you are agile in action, swords, guns, swords and halberds, and brave and cruel, the current Eight Banners soldiers may be able to Chen Xiong’s Central Plains. However, they are definitely not the opponent of these beasts.

"Little Prince. Qing Dog is too bullying. We want to rush out to kill the enemy. Please forgive me." Several irritable toasts asked Mu Jianming for his unskilled Chinese language. It was an insult to them to huddle in the city to defend. As the heads of the land of bravery, they hope that they and their soldiers could rush out of the city and have a face-to-face showdown with Qing Dog.

Mu Jianming seemed much more mature. He shook his head calmly and comforted several chieftains. The head man said, "Going out of the city will only increase casualties. Wait for the enemy to attack the city for a few days. When it is weak, you will leave the city and fight them to a decisive battle. What's more, the Emperor's Haidu reinforcements may arrive soon. At that time, the attack on both sides will only bring miraculous effects."

The heads of the heads nodded in confusion. Although Mu Tianbo was not old, he was very respectful to him because of the worship of the Mu family traditions in various villages. He disagreed. Naturally, everyone had nothing to say.

The siege in the city became more and more intense. Several of the defeated Green Camp soldiers were killed by the officers in the rear. Only then did they stabilize their positions and shouted and launched a new offensive towards Kunming City.

The sound of cannons and muskets sounded like an ensemble song, and they rang out on the city wall to the lower body. Despite this, they still did not scare away these fierce Eight Banners Guanning Army. They braved the rain of bullets and bullets, avoiding countless shells and lead balls, and climbed up the city tower along the ladder. The fierce soldiers danced with scimitars and spears to defeat them.

The siege war began to enter a white-hot stage. Artillery was also built on the Qing army's positions. This general's gun weighing thousands of pounds finally sprayed ammunition after calibration. But they soon discovered that although the general's gun was large enough, its range was really inferior to that of the Ming army's small guns. After the general's bombardment, the cannons on the city began to be recalibrated and aimed the dark muzzle at the Qing army's artillery position.

"Boom..." The artillery at the top of the city hit the city accurately and exploded near the general's cannon position. For a moment, broken iron nails and iron balls smashed several bottles of general's cannons into scrap iron.
