Chapter 496 Dalinghe Fort finally collapsed! (Third update)
"Major General, we have contacted several generals, and they all agreed to surrender to the Taiwanese together. As soon as we open the south gate, they will lead their soldiers to rush out of Dalinghe Fort together."[]
A participant will report respectfully to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
"What about the Taiwanese people?" the young man asked with a gloomy face.
"The Taiwanese people accept our surrender, but they made it clear that after arriving there, anyone who wants to join the army needs to go through assessment and approval." Then the general lowered his head and reported.
"That is to say, we will no longer have the right to lead troops when we get there! These Taiwanese people are really stingy. If Old Man Sun hadn't killed my father, I wouldn't have surrendered to them!"
Yes, this young man is Wu Sangui. Ever since Wu Xiang was killed by Sun Chengzong, Wu Sangui has been looking for opportunities to take revenge.
After Dalinghe Fort was besieged, many people still had hopes of breaking out, but after eighteen days, this hope completely disappeared.
Now everyone in the city was moved, so Wu Sangui actively united with many officers and soldiers from Liaodong to persuade them to leave the city and surrender. In any case, the Taiwanese at least did not kill their families in Liaodong, so many people were tempted by this proposal.
"Is there any way to kill that old man?" Wu Sangui asked with a sinister look on his face.
The general looked at Wu Sangui with a troubled face. Sun Chengzong had been under the protection of Man Gui and other Datong Xuanfu soldiers. It would be extremely difficult to kill him. This is also the reason why Sun Chengzong was able to subdue the entire Dalinghe Fort for such a long time.

In fact, at this time, in addition to their combat effectiveness, the Liaodong Frontier Army had already formed a very stubborn interest group. This group does not have the interests of the country at heart at all. This is illustrated by the fact that Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and the Liaodong armies abandoned their respective defense lines.
This time, there were only a few hundred thousand Liaodong troops in Dalinghe Fort, while the number in other areas was close to 200,000. Under this situation, the Liaodong Army, which could not be unified, was naturally subdued by Sun Chengzong.
However, in the past ten days, thanks to Wu Sangui's unremitting efforts, nearly 70% of the Liaodong Army was ready to surrender. But this is only limited to surrender, and few people will follow Wu Sangui to go crazy and kill Sun Chengzong.
"Since there is no other way, forget it. I think this old man thinks he is noble, and he will not surrender. In the hands of the Taiwanese, he will die a miserable death." Seeing his subordinates showing such expressions, Wu Sangui could only Reluctantly gave up the idea.
"Mr. Qin, do you think the other party is pretending to surrender?"
After receiving the letter of surrender sent by Wu Sangui, many people felt a little unsure whether it was Sun Chengzong's plan.
"It doesn't matter, even if it's a false surrender. Under the sight of tens of thousands of rifles, the other side can't make any trouble. Moreover, this Wu Sangui is Wu Xiang's son. When Wu Xiang died at the hands of Sun Chengzong, he It is indeed possible to do such a thing." Qin Keren believed that this was most likely true, but his impression of Wu Sangui plummeted due to this.
Wu Xiang abandoned tens of thousands of troops and fled, causing the Jinzhou garrison to collapse in a very short period of time. No matter where it was placed, this was a serious violation of military law. It was not unreasonable for Sun Chengzong to kill Wu Xiang.
Under such circumstances, Wu Sangui still insisted on giving up his country's justice and surrendered to the enemy. It is enough to show that this person is a person who puts personal interests first. No one in power would like such a person.
"But we don't have many people after all. Facing more than 300,000 prisoners, we still have to handle it carefully. If one person is not good, people with ulterior motives will provoke a riot among soldiers who have no regard for their psychology. That will be Oh no.
So later, we must gather those generals who surrendered and place them separately. Ordinary soldiers must also be divided into hundreds of groups according to groups of one thousand to prevent riots. "Qin Keren explained to the commanders of other divisions very seriously.
Although it is very easy for these 80,000 troops to defeat more than 300,000 people, it is not so easy to deal with them well.
Soldiers in this era were generally illiterate, and they all followed their generals blindly. The generals do whatever they say and basically have no ability to judge right and wrong of their own. Dealing with such prisoners of war is not an easy task.
In the early morning of April 16th, the south gate of Dalinghe Fort, which had been silent for more than ten days, suddenly became extremely noisy, with some screams mixed in during the period. Then I saw more and more people running madly towards the outside of the city, and the Taiwanese army wasSeeing these Ming soldiers running out, they didn't even shoot. Instead, they eliminated some people and led the Ming soldiers who ran out to different places.
This phenomenon attracted the attention of the defenders in other places from the beginning, but without orders from their superiors, they did not dare to act rashly. No one knew whether this was a breakout. But the subsequent actions of the Taiwanese army made them understand that someone had surrendered in Kaicheng.
¡°If we had seen this phenomenon in the past, many low-level officers would have led their men to the south gate to prevent this kind of defection. But at this time, they hesitated, especially the low-level officers who had risen from the ranks. So much so that due to the instability of people's hearts, someone even opened the west gate.
The south gate was organized and premeditated, while the opening of the west gate fully reflected how low the morale of the defenders in Dalinghe Fort had fallen.
"Sir, Major General Wu has led people out of the south gate, and the east gate has also been opened! What should we do?"
At this time, Zu Dashou, who was really resting, was suddenly woken up by the noise outside. After getting up, I realized that Wu Sangui had defected. And he hasn't notified his uncle yet.
"Humph, you little beast, you didn't tell me about such a big thing!"
Zu Dashou was really angry. By doing this, Wu Sangui obviously no longer regarded his uncle as one of his own.
"My lord, now is not the time to pursue this kind of matter. At least 100,000 people have already escaped. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
How could Zu Dashou not understand the meaning of these subordinates¡¯ words, but Zu Dashou really couldn¡¯t let go of his business for so many years. He would gain nothing by surrendering without contacting Taiwan. This made him reluctant to think about it.
But he also knew that if he refused his men's request now, his head would probably become a bargaining chip for them to take credit.
"Exit the east gate and surrender!"
No matter how unwilling he was, Zu Dashou couldn't make fun of his own head, and finally decided to give up Sun Chengzong, give up everything in Ming Dynasty, and surrender to Taiwan.
