Chapter 497: Sun Chengzong¡¯s death, bad news one after another (first update)
Chaos, unprecedented chaos. Of the more than 300,000 people, only 70,000 to 80,000 originally surrendered through Wu Sangui's conspiracies. But after seeing these people surrendered safely by the Taiwanese army, the rest of the people also felt alive. []
And Zu Dashou led a large group of troops to rush out of the east gate and surrender to the Taiwanese army outside the city, which became the trigger for the Ming army in the city to surrender.
Although Sun Chengzong shouted hoarsely, and although several generals who were always loyal to the Ming Dynasty tried their best to stop it, they seemed so powerless in this wave of surrender. It even happened that tens of thousands of troops fought together with the Manchu and Guangxi troops who came to stop them.
It¡¯s over, everything is over. The morale of the army was completely lost, and if someone started, it would completely stop the soldiers from surrendering.
Standing on a high place, looking at the chaotic Daling River Fort, Sun Chengzong felt sad in his heart. In fact, he had known for a long time that the Dalinghe Fort could not be defended at all. He just expected to inflict great damage on the Taiwanese army at Dalinghe Fort.
But all these expectations were ruthlessly shattered. He did not expect that the Taiwanese army outside the city would be so patient. They would not hesitate to spend a lot of food and grass to besiege Dalinghe Fort even though they could easily defeat Dalinghe Fort.
And during the siege, Sun Chengzong continued to use various methods to persuade him to surrender, which made Sun Chengzong feel as desperate as the overlord of Chu who was surrounded on all sides.
Finally today, this collective surrender happened. In order to surrender, those Ming soldiers even fought with their former comrades.
Sun Chengzong was heartbroken. He didn't understand why things had reached this point, let alone why such a powerful force came out of a small desert island.
He felt desperate for Ming Dynasty. As an old man who has dedicated most of his life to the Ming Dynasty, and as a knowledgeable person who deeply understands the crux of the Ming Dynasty, he can no longer see the possibility that the Ming Dynasty can avoid the disaster of destruction.
"Your Majesty, I have done my best!"
After saying that, Sun Chengzong suddenly jumped from the tall building, and many generals next to him were too late to stop him. A famous minister of a generation, a loyal man who fought all his life to protect the Ming Dynasty, left this world with endless disappointment.
His death made those generals who still obeyed his instructions and persisted in resisting have the idea of ??surrender. Although Mangui and a few other generals resisted resolutely, that was no longer the choice of most people.
Dalinghe Fort was in chaos for several hours, and it gradually calmed down until early in the morning.
¡°In these few hours, countless dramas of ugliness, struggle, and loyalty of human nature were staged, which was dazzling to watch.
Out of an army of more than 300,000 people, only more than 30,000 people persisted in resisting. Even if the others had the idea of ??resisting at first, they eventually surrendered. Six Ming generals including Sun Chengzong, Man Gui, and Hei Yunlong died, most of the others surrendered, and a few were captured alive.
Those Ming troops who surrendered were eventually divided into hundreds of small groups and detained separately. As for those officers, Qin Keren fed them delicious food on the grounds that he had no right to make decisions about their future.
Looking at the Ming soldiers who showed happy and satisfied smiles after eating rice and meat, Qin Keren did not show contempt for them. Because the government cannot expect the people to work for it even when their survival is not guaranteed.
Perhaps in the early days of this regime, the people could temporarily fight desperately for it because of their hope for the future, but after hundreds of years of slavery, the people will completely lose their expectations for such a regime, and thus put it in their hearts. His status was reduced to the point where he was not even as good as a bowl of fragrant rice.
These things have basically become a consensus in Taiwan, but the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty still believe that the people can be exploited at will. As long as they shout slogans, all the people can die for the Ming Dynasty.
The fact is that the people have been completely numb to their slogans. As long as there is that force that can give them a bowl of rice, they can work for that force, even those who are rebelling.
After everything was initially settled, Qin Keren and others entered the city to search for Sun Chengzong's figure. Finally, under the guidance of the surrendered general, they obtained Sun Chengzong's body.
Qin Keren and others had great admiration for this old general. They immediately ordered his body to be collected with extremely high standards, and together with the bodies of Man Gui and others, a temporary Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs was established, and they were enshrined in the Great Hall. Linghe Fort.
This is not a show by politicians, but the respect of the Taiwanese military for these loyal people. Although they are on the opposite side of Taiwan,??Their loyalty can conquer everyone.
What¡¯s more, everyone in Taiwan is also a son and daughter of China, and they admire the sacrifices they have made to protect the land of China.
After a busy day, the instructions from Shenyang finally arrived. Xiao Mingqian ordered Qin Keren to divide the more than 300,000 troops into two parts, and the local soldiers in Liaodong screened them. Anyone who has a family in the local area can be allowed to take part of the food home. If there are no families, they can be hired as general laborers.
And those soldiers who were not from Liaodong were all sent to Shenyang for unified arrangements by the military government. As for the officers, they were all sent to Shenyang.
Regarding the bodies of Sun Chengzong and others, Xiao Mingqian decided to return them to Ming Dynasty after hesitating for a long time. Xiao Mingqian respects them very much.
The Chinese nation attaches great importance to returning fallen leaves to their roots. The dead were the most important, and Xiao Mingqian didn't want them to die in a foreign country without even being able to return their bodies to their hometown.
On April 18, the coffins containing Sun Chengzong, Man Gui and other six generals were respectfully placed in front of the Shanhaiguan Gate. Seeing this scene, the guard on the city wall immediately reported to Hong Chengchou.
After receiving the news, Hong Chengchou almost didn't survive. He immediately led his people out of the city in person and brought in the bodies of Sun Chengzong and others.
Looking at Sun Chengzong¡¯s body, everyone in Shanhaiguan fell into a sad atmosphere, and Hong Chengchou even fainted on the spot.
After receiving the news, Yang Guo also had people carry him to the coffins of Sun Chengzong and others, and kowtowed several times respectfully.
As a Taiwanese intelligence officer, he was destined to be buried by the Ming Dynasty. However, after living in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, he admired countless living Ming Dynasty generals and developed deep feelings with them.
If it were not a matter of stance, Yang Guo would even be willing to have a heart-to-heart talk with them. But he couldn't, he could only apologize to them in this way.
After waking up, Hong Chengchou immediately sent the bad news to Beijing, and at the same time transported the bodies of Sun Chengzong and others to Beijing.
After receiving the news that Dalinghe Fort was breached and Sun Chengzong and others were killed in battle, Chongzhen vomited blood on the spot. But another bad news also followed.
Taiwan¡¯s 200,000-strong army dispatched troops to Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces and captured most of the three provinces within a few days.
