Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 92 Skyfire Burns the City
Li Dingguo failed to break through Xinhui in ten months, but Bai Mingxiu only took one shot.

A shot from the 406mm main gun of the Lion-class battleship.

Bai Mingxiu was never very willing to let Sister Shi open fire, because when she fired a cannon, what she burned was Bai Mingxiu's golden gold finger coins.But today, Bai Mingxiu made Sister Lion open fire.

The city wall, which is not very strong, is only a matter of one shot under Miss Lion's main cannon.The city of Xinhui County just fell apart without any psychological expectations, and it was completely broken.

Nie Guanyong sent his infantry to rush into Xinhui City stepping on the collapsed city wall, without any resistance from the Qing army.After all, there were only more than 200 guarding Qing soldiers, so they dared not fight the Ming army.Because the Ming army also came suddenly, and the brave people in the city were not organized, saying that resolute resistance was just a rhetoric of those old people, and it has not yet been put into practice.

The infantry opened the city gate, and the cavalrymen of the Second Cavalry Division also entered the city.

In fact, this was not a battle at all. The Ming Dynasty Restoration Army did not encounter any enemies who dared to resist them.After they took control of the situation in the city, the army immediately changed its vicious face.

The five big and three rough Mongolian cavalry jumped off their horses, rushed into the houses, and drove out all the people inside.The terrified county citizens were tied up and sent out of the city one by one.Xinhui is not a big place, and there are only a few tens of thousands of people in the city. In front of [-] fierce soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division, they can only submit.

Including the Qing garrison, the county magistrate Huang Zhiguang, and the elders were also arrested and sent out of the city.

There was a mess and crying everywhere in the city. The county residents begged for mercy, and some even wanted to bribe with money, but the soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division were unmoved.

Tens of thousands of people, say more or less, were all driven out of the city.The soldiers also quickly looted all the property in the city, including gold and silver, tools, and food.

Bai Mingxiu quickly ordered people to carry out screening activities. Those who came to Xinhui after the tragedy eight years ago can be released, but they are not allowed to return to the city.Those who participated in the defense of the city eight years ago were all forced to stay.

He came to the magistrate Huang Zhiguang and other representatives of famous families in the city. At this time, these people were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, trembling like frightened quails.

Seeing Bai Mingxiu, these people kept kowtowing to Bai Mingxiu.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we originally wanted to dedicate the city, but it was too late."

"Prince Xiongwei, we all admire him very much."

"Prince, please spare the lives of Xinhui's elders. Everyone is grateful and willing to build a shrine for His Highness."

Although they were arrested, these gentlemen were not very afraid.The reason is that after the city was broken, the Ming army did not encounter any resistance when they entered the city, and the Ming army did not kill anyone, they just captured them all.So although they are afraid, these people are generally stable.

After all, I have never heard of things like the Ming army massacring cities or burying people alive.

Some people are even thinking about what they should do if the Qing army returns.So some people looked at Bai Mingxiu's expression with unkindness in their apprehension. They were angry that Bai Mingxiu had breached the Xinhui, and put them, the obedient people of the Qing Dynasty, in an unrighteous and embarrassing situation.

The sensitive and slender Bai Mingxiu naturally sensed such emotions.

Bai Mingxiu stepped forward, came to Huang Zhiguang, and said, "Magistrate Huang, eight years ago, did you eat human flesh?"

Huang Zhiguang was taken aback, and his whole body began to tremble, but he still said with difficulty: "No... I thought about it when I was too hungry. The people of the Chen family took the arm of a concubine from their family with me. I was scared when I saw it." Passed out, but still dare not."

"Like this." Bai Mingxiu couldn't see any joy or anger on his face.

He asked again: "Point to me, who has eaten here?"

Huang Zhiguang gritted his teeth, turned his head to the side of the Xinhui gentry, and said: "The people kneeling over there have all eaten! The Chen family always ate their granddaughter, the old man of the Wang family ate his two wives, and the Qian family The head of the family ordered the family to go to the streets to snatch the strangers and cook them... In short, they have all eaten people!"

As he spoke, Huang Zhiguang's eyes were filled with tears. Obviously, the experience eight years ago had caused him great trauma, and even became his inner demon, which he could not get rid of.

The people over there heard the conversation between Bai Mingxiu and Huang Zhiguang, and they all understood that the prince of the Ming Dynasty actually pursued the matter of them helping the Qing army defend the city and cannibalizing people, kowtowed like garlic, and said in aggrieved way: "Your Highness, we are just waiting for you!" There is no other way!"

"It's all the fault of the troubled times."

Bai Mingxiu was expressionless. He walked up to the gentry slowly and said, "It is said that when King Jin withdrew his troops, in Xinhui City, there were surplus millet for horses and surplus grain for soldiers, but ten thousand people were eaten. The Qing army They even robbed you when they entered the city, robbed their children as hostages, and the soldiers and horses of the two feudal clans also robbed a lot of things, you dare not even let a fart go."

Bai Mingxiu suddenly roared loudly: "What the hell is going on in this world? Are you gangsters out to bully Daming who has a benevolent heart and treats you as his own? You would rather eat human flesh and be a man-eating evil ghost!" , are you unwilling to stand up and be an upright person?"

The old Chen family replied tremblingly, "To be a man is to die, to be a ghost to live..."

After hearing what he said, Bai Mingxiu suddenly burst out laughing.There are tens of thousands of people outside the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, no one speaks a word, only the laughter of the prince is heard in the wild, and there is terror in the killing.

Although the matter of Xinhui was something Bai Mingxiu had read since he was very young, he was indifferent when he was a teenager, and was indignant when he was young, but when he stood in front of these ogres, he was able to feel that kind of thing. Repression, that kind of indisputable hatred.He knew that this country and nation were already decayed and were about to decline. He came from an era that was extremely prosperous and vigorous. Although the people of that era were full of faults, they were confident, flaunting their might, and full of longing for the future. Clever, but they uphold justice.

But now, these cannibals kneeling in front of him are his compatriots.In this huge China, our compatriots at this time may not be as disgusting as these cannibals, but they are not much better.

Bai Mingxiu didn't pay any attention to it. He stepped forward and came to Sister Lion's side, and said, "Lion, use your cannons to level this city. If you can't bombard it, I will burn it down."

At this moment, the system suddenly came out to intervene: "Host, this system feels that your emotions are violently fluctuating, which is very interesting. How about it, 1000 gold finger coins, and nine cloud bombs for your ship girl, One blow will absolutely destroy this town that is full of bird droppings."

"Exchange!" Bai Mingxiu did not hesitate.

He stepped forward, eyes like knives, under the horrified eyes of tens of thousands of people who were driven out of their homes, His Royal Highness waved his hand and said: "Burning the city!"

The three gun turrets around Sister Lion suddenly appeared, and many people didn't notice that nine flames shot up into the sky and landed directly on Xinhui County.

The huge explosion and the terrifying mushroom cloud directly shrouded the city in destruction.

A city of sin completely disappeared from this world.

Not long after, it was circulated among the people at the time that Prince Cixuan hated Xinhui's atrocities, and sent him to Java to work as a labor force, and then caused the sky to punish Xinhui with thunder and fire. Since then, there will be no Xinhui in the world.
