On the north bank of Neijing River, Guodi Bay.
Just from the name, you can tell that this is a low-lying depression and a good place surrounded by people.
The three Qing troops in Gushan who were abandoned by Yue Le's ruthless uncle of the Qing Emperor, Prince An, plus some scattered troops, about 20,000 people, are now surrounded by more than 80,000 Ming army groups in this place. The town called Guodiwan and its surrounding area.
Ammo is about to run out, food is about to run out, people are about to die!
The leader of the more than 20,000 desperate Qing troops was Duduo's third son, Gushan Beile Dong'e, the right-wing new army member of the Zhenglan Banner. It was Dong E who was surrounded by Wu Yingqi for many days in Xianglu Mountain in Jingmen Prefecture and almost starved to death. After Kangxi lost Huguang, Dong E was made a scapegoat, dismissed from his position, handed over to the Ministry for discussion, and escorted back to Beijing and imprisoned.
Originally, Kangxi planned to severely punish this unlucky guy, but then Kangxi himself became even more unlucky. His head was "lost" and he was almost mistaken for a fake Kangxi. He was in such a mess that he naturally did not bother to punish Dong E. However, no one let Dong E go, so he was kept in Shangfangyuan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...until he was forced to escape!
That time he really couldn't survive without escaping from prison. Burney invaded Beijing and the Yuan Dynasty was restored. It's not appropriate for you, a sinner of the Qing Dynasty, to still live in Shangfangyuan, and there is no one to take care of the food.
So Dong E had to climb over the wall and escape from Shangfangyuan, and ran to Bada Hutong to find Empress Dowager Bumu Butai to plead guilty and meritorious service.
Although he is not very useful, he has been a general after all, and he is also the son of Duduo, with many servants under his command. . Therefore, Bumbutai made the decision for Kangxi, pardoned his sins, and asked him to summon Baoyi to defend the Bada Hutong.
Later, Burni ran away, the inner city of Beijing was recovered, and Kangxi returned to the dynasty. It was too embarrassing to punish Dong E again. Not only cannot the crime be punished, but rewards must be given based on merit - the merit of defending the Eight Hutongs is also merit!
Moreover, in order to protect the Eight Hutongs, Dong E also gathered a group of old slaves of Duduo and Dorgon, which were considered to be somewhat powerful.
Therefore, Kangxi restored Dong E's Baylor and asked him to take the lead in organizing the Zhenglan Banner New Army's right wing Gushan. After the team became frightened, he kept following Yue Le. Although there is no credit, he is still diligent. Unexpectedly, he was abandoned by the ruthless Yue Le this time, and was surrounded by the Ming army together with Gushan, a man with a red flag, and Gushan, a man with a white flag. After trying several times to break through without success, Dong E, Gushan'e Zhenmang Yitu, who was on the left wing of the Xiangbai Banner New Army, and Gushan'e Zhenshun, Prince Le'erjin of the Zhenghong Banner New Army in the middle, all came together. Surrounded in Guodiwan.
The three of them also knew that it was doomed... not only they themselves were doomed, but the entire Qing Dynasty was also estimated to be doomed!
There are flying heavenly soldiers in the sky, and there are invulnerable heavenly soldiers on the ground. They really can't even run away with their wings. The three people who felt desperate did not plan to make any more efforts to break out. I just made a hasty defense arrangement, and then I found a house that wasn't burned down and got in. I drowned my sorrows with wine and lived for a while. They didn't even care about the Ming army's artillery bombardment - after the Ming army surrounded them, they did not immediately launch a general attack. Instead, they mobilized more than a hundred five-pound cannons and ten-pound cannons and started bombarding them.
The shelling started on the afternoon of the second day after they were besieged, and continued until noon on the third day of the siege. The rumbling noise was endless.
When the bombardment stopped, these three people were drinking sips of wine. Just when they thought they could calm down for a while, there was a sudden noise outside. I don't know how many people were shouting: "Spare your life, heavenly soldiers! Stop fighting, heavenly soldiers!"
The three people looked at each other and became nervous.
Has the time come?
Although the three of them are ready to die for the Qing Dynasty... But the only way to die is through the ages!
Dong E, who had already experienced two narrow escapes from death, was still a little unwilling, so he stood up first, glanced at Leerjin and Mang Yitu, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go out and have a look!"
Leerjin and Mang Yitu didn't speak, but they both stood up, and then followed Dong E out of the house. After going out, they found that the open space outside was full of people kneeling with the three flags of blue, red and white. New officers and soldiers, but these officers and soldiers are not worshiping the three of them, but worshiping heaven.
Because there are heavenly soldiers in the sky!
The three people looked up and saw four huge "celestial balls" floating in the sky above them carrying heavenly soldiers!
These heavenly soldiers on the celestial sphere were still throwing paper down one by one, and only saw stacks of white paper falling like snowflakes. One of the pieces of paper hit Dong E on the face. Dong E stretched out his hand to grab the piece of paper, then held it in front of his eyes and saw that there were Chinese characters printed on it.
Leerjin, who was standing next to him, had sharp eyes and saw the words above, and even read out: "Surrender and avoid death, stubborn resistance will lead to death; the general attack is imminent, save your life before it's too late!"
As soon as his voice fell, soldiers from the Qing Dynasty around him started shouting: "Soldiers from heaven, spare your life, we are willing to surrender!"
Hearing their shouts, Dong'e, Leerjin and Mangyitu knew that the time was coming... They looked to the left and right, and saw that they were almost all young and strong soldiers!
This is even more disappointing!
Because the troops of the three of them all belong to the Lower Five Banners, they can no longer recruit many strong men from the old Eight Banners, so the "full strength" of the new armies of the three banners are supported by white-haired men and young men...
"Dong E, what should I do? I can't fight anymore..."
"My lord, what else can I do? I will die for my country..."
"Woooooooo..."
"My lord, please don't cry, it's just death! You are so disgraceful to your ancestors!"
While Dong E was still there in a daze, Le'erjin, the great-grandson of the great-grandson of the great Beile Daishan, the Shuncheng County Prince Le'erjin, burst into tears. Mang Yitu is much braver, where can I give him some good words to enlighten him?
Just die! What's the big deal?
But Nalerjin didn't listen to the advice at all, and knelt down in front of Dong'e, hugging his thigh, "Uncle, my grandnephew is still young, and he doesn't want to die. You old man, just do it!"
Dong E was speechless. Leerjin is twenty-seven this year, not young! And although Dong E is the generation of Grandpa Leerjin, he is only five years older and only thirty-two... He doesn’t want to die either!
So Dong E looked back at Mang Yitu, who had a tragic expression on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Mang Yitu, can we not die?"
Mang Yitu had a look of surprise on his face, "Prince, Baylor, this heavenly soldier's surrender letter didn't say that he must kill you.
But you are all descendants of Aixinjueluo... Surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is a shame for our ancestors! "
Leerjin wiped away tears and said: "Then I feel sorry for my ancestors... As long as I can survive, what are my ancestors?"
But Dong E shook his head and said: "Prince Shuncheng, you are wrong. Surrendering to the Ming Dynasty does not mean you are sorry for your ancestors, because your ancestors also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. He also served as a godson to the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty... .... Why do we only need our ancestors to surrender, but we are not allowed to surrender? We haven’t recognized our father yet, we are just surrendering.”
"Yes, yes, yes... we all learned it from our ancestors!" Leer Jin immediately followed up, "Mang Yitu, go and ask for surrender quickly, and tell Prince Chengshun of the Qing Dynasty, Le Erjin Erjin, Baylor Dong'e is willing to lead an army of more than 20,000 people to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
Dong E also nodded: "Yes, we must also fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Mang Yitu... The Qing Dynasty is about to end, we must understand the situation clearly!"
Mang Yitu was shocked by these two shameless people. How could these two people do such shameless things in order to survive? And the two of you are not ordinary "Aisin Gioro", but a big "Aisin Gioro"... One of you is a prince and the other is Lord Beile, both of whom are important figures in Aisin Gioro.
You are going to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty. Can the people of the Qing Dynasty still be able to control it?
But...it still feels good to be alive!
Thinking of this, he also sighed and said: "Prince, Lord Baylor, you are right... I also remembered that your ancestors did surrender to the Ming Dynasty and became a godson to Li Chengliang. See You guys have learned to surrender from your ancestors. In that case, I will go to the Ming camp and give you the surrender form!"
Dong E immediately continued what he said: "Well, then I will write a surrender form right away!"
