Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Hearing the sound of drums, the faces of the hungry soldiers at the head of Yangzhou City changed drastically:

"Oh no!

The Qing army is about to fire! "

Screams came and went, resounding throughout the city.

The soldiers, who had been hungry for several days, looked panicked.

The original enthusiasm and ambition to come to Yangzhou to kill the Tatars had dissipated due to lack of food, clothing and warmth, and no one to care about them.

Panic spread in the city.

Just after the first drumming, the top of Jingui Mountain suddenly burst into flames!

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Amidst the smoke, dense gunfire sounded.

A large number of small black dots flew towards the city.

Gradually zoom in...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One shell after another landed on the top of Yangzhou City.

The dense shells were like hail falling.

"Ah... help..."

"Ah...uh uh..."

The Ming army at the head of the city fled in panic.

Even though most of the first wave of bullets fell far away, less than one-tenth hit the city wall.

Only a few artillery shells hit the top of the city.

however……

Yangzhou City, with tens of thousands of troops, has lost its fighting spirit...

"Counterattack!"

"fire!"

"Counterattack! Fire quickly!"

Governor Liu Zhaoji was arranged by Shi Dewei to guard the north gate.

As soon as he heard the drum beat, he yelled to get out of the way.

As the governor, Liu Zhaoji scraped together things here and there, barely able to supply some military supplies.

The four hundred servants under him could barely avoid going hungry.

After receiving the signal, Yangzhou North Gate took the lead in launching a counterattack.

The booming cannon sounded.

There are many troops in Yangzhou.

Although after entering the city, the soldiers had little food and the generals lacked clothes.

However, when the Qing army launched its attack, they rushed towards the city wall.

Dufu Wei Yunwen, Zhongguanying He Gang, Wu Erxun, the right minister of the Ministry of War Zhang Bojing...

Lieutenant General Zhuang Zigu first led [-] soldiers into Yangzhou City to defend...

General Xu Jin, deputy generals Lou Ting, Jiang Yunlong, Li Yu, Wang Sicheng (also known as Yicheng), generals Tao Guozuo (known as Kuangming), Feng Guoyong, Chen Guangyu, Li Long, and Xu Chunren. Guerrilla Li Dazhong, Sun Kaizhong, Dusi Yao Huailong, Jie Xuezeng...

Various armies, more or less large, rushed out from every corner.

No matter how hungry you are, no matter how weak you are!

A good man, you will never come back!

Not only the military generals rushed out, but also the civil servants, seeing the imminent battle in Yangzhou, rushed towards the city wall with their yamen or their servants.

Tongzhi Qu Congzhi joined hands with his son and led the army towards the city wall.

Tongzhi Wang Zuanjue and Yunshi Yang Zhenxing, together with their subordinates, began to set up a defense line behind the city gate.

Yang Zhenxi, the envoy of the Huaihe River Transport, supervised the county magistrate Wu Daozheng, and the county prime minister Wang Zhiduan taught Li Ziming...

……

After Shi Kefa took control of Jiangbei, he followed the example of the ancient sages and recruited guests.

There is even an inscription and plaque named "Lixian Hall".

Shi Kefa is a famous figure in Donglin, and his appeal is so powerful.

There are many talented people in Lixian Hall.

At this time, dozens of Lixian Hall staff rushed towards Yangzhou Yamen.

However, the soldiers guarding the door blocked their steps.

“Where is Mr. Shi Ge?

The war situation is critical, let us in quickly! "

However, the soldiers looked embarrassed and did not dare to let him go.

"Corrupt Confucianism is detrimental to the country!"

A staff member with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who was usually not reused could not stop shouting angrily.

He jumped on the stone lion at the door of the shogunate, looked around with both hands, and shouted:

“Brothers, it has been three hundred years since the country has raised its men!

You and I, scholars, usually do not pay taxes or grain, and we are even exempt from corvée.

If a student is not talented, his literary skills will not be able to spread his name in Donghua, and his military skills will not be able to mount an army in Anjiang.

However, I have a passion for it!

Brothers, if you are not afraid of death, follow me and kill the enemy! "

"Walk!

Kill the enemy! "

More than a dozen people were moved by him and immediately shouted out.

However, someone in the crowd said:

"Mr. Shi Ge is the Dinghai Divine Needle. We'd better meet with Mr. Shi Ge first and then make a long-term plan."

As soon as these words came out, some people immediately hesitated.

"Pooh!"

The ugly-looking man yelled:

“If you want to hide behind a woman’s backside, I won’t stop you!

Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death should not care!

If you are not afraid of death, come with me! "

After that, he jumped off the stone lion and ran towards the city wall.

This man, who was usually not looked at seriously by others because of his unsightly appearance, now moved forward without hesitation!

"Brothers, he is not afraid of death, are we afraid?

Come with me! "

Someone stood up again, followed the man, and rushed forward!

Led by the two men, more and more staff members roared and walked forward.

If you look carefully, there are actually 19 people!

(Forgive me, the names of the Nineteen Martyrs can only be found:

Lu Wei, Gui Zhao, Gu Qilong, Gong Zhihou, Lu Xiao, Tang Jingshi.

The names of other people cannot be found...)

But at the gate of Yangzhou Yamen, among the bustling scribes, no one stood up anymore...

"Kill the enemy!

The country has supported me for three hundred years, and I will repay the country's kindness at the end of my life!

Kill the enemy! "

"Kill the enemy!

The country has supported me for three hundred years, and I will repay the country's kindness at the end of my life!

Kill the enemy! "

The nineteen staff members shouted slogans and moved forward indomitably.

"stop!"

When they arrived at the side door, a general from Xian La La rushed out.

Looking closely, it was deputy general Ma Yingkui.

He was wearing white armor, with four big red characters written on his back:

"Serve the country with loyalty!"

Ma Yingkui most admires Yue Wumu, the Martial Saint who was personally canonized by the Taizu of this dynasty!

Yangzhou cannot be saved.

Ma Yingkui naturally knew.

He changed the word Yue Wu Mu and wrote it on the back to express the meaning of coexistence and death in the city.

"Why do you scholars rush to the city?"

Ma Yingkui always looked down upon these literati.

He felt that this group of people were all speculators who envied Shi Kefa's reputation and came here because of his fame.

They are all flatterers!

However, at the critical moment, nineteen martyrs rushed to the city.

This made Ma Yingkui feel in awe.

These are all national scholars!

He wanted to save these people.

Ma Yingkui stretched out his hand to stop everyone:

"You are scribes. It is your responsibility to govern the country and love the people like sons.

If you go into battle to kill the enemy, leave it to the rough guys like me!

Why don't you send it back to me? "

Ma Yingkui shouted so loudly that the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in front of him trembled all over.

He was usually ignored because of his appearance, so that he, who had a weak personality, could not come up with any words to refute.

"The general's words are wrong!"

Someone stepped out from the crowd, cupped his hands and said:

"General Ma is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and he must be loyal to the country.

We have been favored by our country in this life, why can't we be loyal to our country?

My country has always been kind to me. If the country is in trouble, I will risk my life to defend it!

Vow to live and die with Yangzhou! "

As soon as this man roared, the nineteen scribes shouted:

"Swear to live and die with Yangzhou!"

"Swear to live and die with Yangzhou!"

"Hahaha!"

Ma Yingkui laughed loudly:

"When the national crisis hit, Ma recognized your courage.

Since you gentlemen also want to protect your home and country, just follow Ma’s army! "
