Chapter 236 "A Letter to Guangzhou Officials and People"

Chapter 236 "Letter to Guangzhou Officials and People" (Please subscribe!)

Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, "died generously", and Wang Yongyu, the general of Guangzhou, had already escaped halfway and made his final struggle in Manchuria.

"Clean up the nearby Xicheng! Drive all the Han people out! Hold here and wait for reinforcements from Chaozhou Prefecture and Hunan to come!"

"Send someone to help the Dutch on Xiangjiang Island!"

Wang Yongyu gave such an order with difficulty. The Ming bandits were strong and there was no chance of winning in a head-on fight with the Ming bandits. However, he could mobilize the bannermen in the city to defend the city. Losing the outer city would be a good thing. He no longer had to worry about the Han people cooperating with the outside world!

As long as we hold on until reinforcements arrive, the situation may be reversed.

Following Wang Yongyu's order, the city of Guangzhou was completely plunged into a chaotic whirlpool of flesh and blood.

His banner generals carried out their orders extremely thoroughly, and the most effective way to drive people away was to kill people.

In the city of Guangzhou, the bannermen and the Han people have always been deeply entangled. Thirty years ago, when Shang Kexi conquered Guangzhou, the Han Eight Banners massacred 700,000 people here, causing Guangzhou to bleed like a river.

Some of the remaining Guangzhou people were driven away, but most of them are still in the city!

There is only one content in it, and that is the "Advertisement to the Officials and People of Guangzhou":

Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered the city, and the city of Guangzhou has been destroyed. However, Guangzhou is the Guangzhou of the Ming Dynasty, not the Guangzhou of the Qing Dynasty. As long as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not enemies of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the officials and the people, there will be no difficulty. Everyone can do his job and keep his duties.

, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty also had their own proper arrangements in the past.

At the same time, troops were sent to guard the west city to prevent the whole city from directly facing the firepower of the Ming army.

"Thirty years ago, Qing soldiers killed 700,000 people in Guangzhou. This revenge must be avenged!"

Pan Aqiang said: "The emperor has the final say on how to deal with it. Let's go to Xicheng and rescue the people of Guangzhou!"

The people of Guangzhou will never forget their unforgettable hatred, they are just dormant, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the Tatars.

The guards who were cleaning up the outer city looked at each other in confusion. Listening to the sounds in the west city, it sounded like tens of thousands of troops were fighting in a melee.

"What's going on over there in Xicheng? There's such a lively fighting there?" The chaos in Xicheng attracted Pan Aqiang's attention.

At this time, the battalion commanders below were not happy, "In charge of the town, the soldiers of the Guards don't like these two Tatar women!"

Facing the common people's counterattack, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty became more ruthless in order to clear the west city as quickly as possible.

The bannermen were united in facing the Ming army, and there were not only bannerman armories but also flag warehouses throughout the city, where they needed grain and rice, and swords and guns.

Standing on the Guide Gate Tower, overlooking the entire city of Guangzhou, black smoke curls into the sky, gray fog wraps the ground, and the once prosperous Guangzhou City is filled with smoke. I wonder what the scene is inside.

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, two more city walls were built from the east and west of Nancheng to the Pearl River, called Chicken Wing City. Strictly speaking, Guangzhou City has three floors from south to north.

After hearing this, Pan Aqiang felt that it was a pity to kill them all, and suggested: "It is better to send these two Tatars to Luzon to mine and use their whole life to work to repay the blood debt!"

The "Letter to the Officials and People of Guangzhou" came very timely. Many Guangzhou people in the city did not know who was attacking Guangzhou and thought they were bandits, which made everyone feel at risk.

At first it was just a knife, then there was loud gunfire, and the West City was so noisy that it turned into a battlefield.

Now, for their own safety, the banner soldiers and even the banner men Ding Zhuang all massed to kill people, just to defend the west city and prevent the Han people from cooperating with the Ming army who invaded the outer city.

"Trapped in a city waiting for help? You are really asking for death..."

Now, when they heard the news that the Ming Dynasty had conquered Guangzhou, the Han people who had a little bit of blood were no longer willing to be fish on the knife table. They had knives to draw knives, but they didn't wield poles, broke off the wooden legs of tables and chairs, and started fighting with the bannermen.

While killing, he also shouted: "Ignore you Lou, when the Ming Dynasty enters Xicheng, all your bannermen will die badly!"

However, Wang Yongyu remained silent and ordered the banner soldiers to block the streets in the banner area with carriages and bricks, assuming a posture of defending the city.

This is different from the Qing army's attack on Guangzhou thirty years ago. At that time, the situation between the enemy and ourselves was extremely obvious. Although Guangzhou City was defeated by Shang Kexi, it was still united to resist. Otherwise, Shang Kexi would not have killed so fiercely.

In the past, the Han people could only hold their heads and run for their lives, but after the Ming Dynasty's hot-air balloon troops threw away the explosive packets, they continued to wander over Guangzhou City.

"Qiangzi, how the Ming Dynasty's attack on Guangzhou lifted the lid on the people of Guangzhou. Any grievances and grievances they had naturally rushed out without any cover. In the city of Guangzhou, people are all settling the accounts of the past."

The only enemies of the Ming Dynasty were the Tatars in Guangzhou. They occupied Guangzhou and their ancestors had bloody hands. They once turned Guangzhou into a bloody city with empty alleys. This revenge must be repaid.

"The situation is small, so instead of asking them to be wives, they can be maids or concubines!" Wang Xianwu said cheerfully.

"yes!"

But Wang Yongyu and the Bannermen were different. They relied on the Qing court's hard-core farmers, so they had to be tied to the Qing court.

The city structure of Guangzhou is somewhat unique. In the Song Dynasty, there were three east, west and middle cities. In the Ming Dynasty, the three cities were opened up, the north and east sides of the Song City were expanded, and the south city was newly built.

When Zhu Kezang learned that the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were going on a killing spree, he quickly asked the Guards to attack the west city and asked the Qing soldiers to take prisoners and bring a letter to the city.

"Ignore you Lou, kill all the Tartar dogs!"

For a moment, the sky was filled with wails and blood was everywhere.

The letter said that the defeated general Wang Yongyu surrendered now to give you and your family a way to survive and not to embarrass your Wang family.

Lu Xianwu, who was supervising the formation on the front line, spoke in a low voice.

After finding out that it was the Ming that attacked the city, the ordinary people in Guangzhou did not think that the Guards were enemies. The Ming was killing Tatars and would not kill them.

"It's a pity that these two Tatars only have tens of thousands of people. Killing them all won't be enough."

But when the south city was built, the south wall of Song City was retained.

He wanted to rely on the high walls and barricades in the west city to delay time. As long as the whole city did not fall, he would be able to fight.

Now Wang Yongyu has evacuated most of the bannermen to the north of Huai'ai West Street, and tens of thousands of people are crowded into a small area from the General's Mansion to Guangxiao Temple.

They distributed the leaflets they had prepared to the people of Guangzhou.

Beicheng is where Mancheng is located. The Bannerman District is in the northwest corner of Beicheng. The southeast of Beicheng is Guangzhou General Mansion and the northwest is Guangxiao Temple.

"Mining is still too cheap for them. It's better to kill all the male Eight Banners and capture the female Eight Banners and distribute them to the soldiers without spouses!" Wang Xianwu added.

Wang Yongyu refused to leave, and the Guards felt a little bit in trouble.

If you engage in street fighting and fight against flag soldiers who still have a strong will to fight, even if you win, you will probably suffer a little loss.

"The bannermen huddled and defended in a mournful manner. This was just right. Originally, they were worried about accidentally injuring the people of Guangzhou, so the air force continued to strike accurately and killed these two Tatars."

"yes!"
