Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 195 The Inhuman Prince
Before Bai Mingxiu gave Lang Tingzuo a "gift", he had already received a report that the 104th Regiment of the Independent Brigade had arrived in Nanjing by boat. According to the established deployment, Bai Mingxiu's 104th Regiment landed in the southwest of the city to rest and set up an ambush.

At this time, Bai Mingxiu was not sure what Lang Tingzuo was doing, but it didn't prevent him from bestowing on Lang Tingzuo the title of Governor-General of the Six Kingdoms, inspiring Lang Tingzuo to take action.Even if Lang Tingzuo doesn't withdraw from Yingtian Mansion, it doesn't matter, anyway, the three mixed regiments of the Independent Brigade will be in place by then, and it will be fine if they can enter the city without any obstacles.

As a result, Lang Tingzuo still received a little stimulation, and decided to lead the Qing army to retreat, which could be regarded as playing into Bai Mingxiu's arms.

The Ming army of the 104th regiment was well prepared and had far superior firepower than the opponent. It took almost no effort to defeat the Qing army led by Lang Tingzuo. Lang Tingzuo himself was also captured by the Ming army.

When the sun rose the next morning, the Great Ming Sun and Moon Dragon Flag was already flying over the city of Nanjing.

After experiencing a period of fear, the people of Jiangning secretly peeked out through the cracks in the windows and doors the next day and discovered that the people patrolling the streets were no longer Qing soldiers dragging a small money rat tail, but wearing straight military uniforms and carrying money in their arms. The Ming army is holding a musket in the middle and a bayonet in its waist.

Jiangning City had been shelled for several days. Although the shells did not fall into the city and only damaged the city wall, ordinary people were still extremely scared.Last night, some people heard the commotion outside and closed their doors tightly, not daring to see what was going on outside. However, they did not expect that the court in charge of the city would change in the morning.

The ordinary people basically don't have too many ideas about the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Anyway, they are all government officials and grand masters, and they have to be obedient.No matter who is in charge, they all hope that the war will stop immediately, no more wars, and no more fears for them.

After entering the city, the Ming army was appeasing the people and rectifying law and order, but on the other hand, it was wantonly purging.Nanjing City, as the most benevolent place in the south of the Yangtze River, not only contained a lot of wealth and gathered a lot of talents, but also was the residence of dignitaries in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

After the Jiangning garrison was established, the Eight Banners soldiers surrounded a piece of land in the city and began to build the city, gradually separating it from ordinary people.In this battle of Jiangning, Jiangning General Kakamu and below, two thousand and eight banners died in battle, but their families and servants were still in the city.Lang Tingzuo led his troops to retreat last night. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, he didn't call the bannermen all over the city.As a result, after the Ming army entered the city the next day, it immediately occupied the whole city, and dragged out the banner people in the city from house to house.

Originally, Bai Mingxiu expected that there would be a conflict here, but in fact, even though there were many men in the city, they still did not choose to resist in the face of the Ming army, but knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.

"Sir, please let us all in the city, young and old, have a way to live. They all say that the harm will not harm our families. We men stationed in Jiangning can be regarded as loyal to the Qing Dynasty. They all died in the outer city. Now the remaining flags in Jiangning People are just the old, weak, sick and disabled. There are a lot of them, please say a few nice words to the prince and let us minions go. The minions will set up longevity tablets for you, and burn incense and pray for you every day."

This bannerman is considered to be a coat of the Jiangning garrison in charge of internal affairs and civil affairs. He is a slave of Kakamu.

The person he begged was You Long, the battalion commander of the Red Police Battalion. You Long came to arrest people all over the city under the order of Bai Mingxiu.His soldiers broke open doors from house to house, grabbing everyone inside, regardless of gender, age or age.The quality of the soldiers of the Red Police Battalion is naturally not comparable to that of the Qing Army. Although their actions are very rude, the soldiers of the Red Police Battalion did not rob any property, let alone rape women.

Bannermen from family to family were driven out, and someone tied their hands, tied them together with a long rope, and led them out of the city in a group.

You Long listened to the words of the banner man, with a mocking expression on his face, "Let us adults have a lot? Is your wild boar skin not easy to use? This Jiangning is the land of my Han people, and it is the land of my Ming Dynasty. Tianfu is the old capital. You group of Tartars stole this place. Back then, when Jiangnan was massacred regardless of men, women, or children. When Jiangnan was stained with blood, did there ever be a large number of adults? At that time, you had no mercy for our Han women and children. ?”

As soon as the steward heard this, he was immediately frightened, knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, and cried, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, please forgive me, the little people are all listening to the master's greetings, and have nothing to do with the slaves!"

You Long returned the original words, saying: "That's right, my little officer is only following the orders of our Crown Prince, it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing that the Ming army's tone was wrong and that they seemed to want to kill someone, some of the bannermen couldn't hold it any longer and immediately wanted to break away and escape.The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army did not hesitate. Anyone who moved abnormally would be hit with the butt of a rifle. If there were still dishonest people, they would directly raise their guns and shoot them on the spot.

The whole team of bannermen began to cry, the women and children cried the most, and even some men were crying while holding their noses. Fear and despair spread in their ranks.

These bannermen were pulled outside the city and in front of Xiaoling Mausoleum.Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, is buried here. The people responsible for guarding the Xiaoling Mausoleum are still the tomb guards of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty invaded, they were still ordered to do the same thing.

The crown prince stood in front of Xiaoling Mausoleum, looking at this solemn mausoleum.Although he has no psychological blood relationship with the Zhu family, but at the moment he is Zhu Cixuan, he still inevitably feels emotional ups and downs.

"Taizu, your descendants have fought back to Nanjing. Today, I will kill some Tatars in front of your soul as a stick of incense for you. I am a disgusting materialist. Taizu, you must be dead to listen. You don’t know what I’m going to say, but I still want to have a sense of ceremony and show it off.”

He turned around and saw a team of crying bannermen led by You Long. These bannermen were only a few thousand, and they were not just Manchurians. In fact, there were also some Han troops and Mongolians, but Bai Mingxiu had never distinguished between them. , To vote for Tartar is to surrender to Tartar, which runs through the whole policy of the Ming Dynasty.

"The old rule is that men who are more than half the body are shot and their heads are taken. The rest of the women and infants should be sent to Java by boat earlier."

You Long nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

The head of the Banner Man just heard this, and shouted angrily, "Han dogs! You are so inhumane, there are many children here, and you even want to kill children! Children have never killed your Han dogs! "

Bai Mingxiu clicked his tongue: "Being barked by dogs and calling us dogs is a novel experience. How many Han children were killed by you back then? Didn't you understand human nature at that time? Haha, there are many people as young as Xia Wanchun in Jiangnan. All the children died under your butcher's knife? Today you have a Tartar dog barking at me. It's so funny. Let you die happily. I came to this world to kill all you wild boar skins. Not a single one will be left. , you just hit the road earlier now.”

Not long after he finished speaking, intensive gunshots rang out, and corpses fell heavily on the ground, dust flying.
