"The minister Xiao Qiyuan submitted the memorial with tears in his eyes, and expressed his gratitude to God for his kindness in the face of adversity:
The thief minister was a scholar, thanking the emperor for his kindness, and was lucky enough to be a Jinshi. He was promoted to ordinary people. He held the post successively, always thinking of serving the emperor. However, he wanted to kill the thief, but he was unable to save himself. By October 19th, Ningbo, Taizhou,
Jiaxing, Quzhou, Chuzhou, and Wenzhou were all lost. The bandits became more powerful, and the army reached Haining, Hangzhou. I was persuaded by the emperor not to give up, and was entrusted with the task of enclosing the territory, and the officials who guarded the territory. The city survived and survived, and the city fell and fell.
Of course it is righteous. Even if you have a white blade in front of you and a sharp ax on your body, why should you be afraid? I would like to use my sword once, and when the city falls, I will risk my life to repay the kindness of my country. But I hate mediocre talents. I can neither defeat the enemy nor defend the territory.
.I owe you the great kindness of the emperor, and I owe you the old mother with white hair. I am ashamed of both my king and my relatives, and I am ashamed to die. I am like a god in the temple of my emperor, and my military power is strong. I have wiped out the false Ming Dynasty and unified the nine states. But I cannot live in shame and live to see it.
My emperor's heroic appearance will only be tied up in a grass ring in the next life."
Hangzhou prefecture governed Qiantang County. Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty, wrote the last inscription to Emperor Shunzhi. It was both an inscription and a suicide note. This suicide note was really full of tears. Governor Xiao was indeed a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he actually prepared
Died for the country!
After writing the title, he summoned his close confidant Xiao Zhong and said, "You will dress up in disguise, cross the river in a small boat, and then rush to the capital to visit the Tongzhengsi Yamen."
"Yes, sir." Xiao Zhong hurried away with this question book.
Xiao Qiyuan himself was moved to tears by the impassioned nature of this title.
After Chen Jin's death, he became the de facto supreme commander of the Qing army in Zhejiang. Although Beletunqi and Beizi Zakana were above him in status, they were defeated generals and were in the state of being punished, so naturally they could not be the commanders.
; The two Angbang Zhangjing Hamu and Ke Kui did not bear the seal of general. In this case, Xiao Qiyuan, who was patrolling Zhejiang on behalf of the emperor, became the coach.
It's a pity that the coach has lost confidence and started to write a suicide note.
"Military report! Our navy suffered a defeat in the Hangzhou Bay naval battle, with more than 10,000 casualties, and Commander-in-Chief Zhang Jie withdrew to Haining Water Village."
Hearing this news, Xiao Qiyuan's head was buzzing. Once the navy lost, his last point of reliance was gone. He knew Zhang Jie's ability very well, and he was a powerful navy man. He didn't expect that even Zhang Jie would be defeated!
After regaining his composure, Xiao Qiyuan ordered 13,000 troops from the Jinhua General Troops and Bao Department to reinforce Haining. He also ordered all Qing troops in Huzhou, Yanzhou, Jinhua, and Shaoxing to withdraw to Hangzhou, whether they were combat troops or garrison troops.
He planned to build a steep defense line along the mountains and rivers along the Qiantang River, Fuchun River, Tongxi, Zixi, Fuxi, Tianmu Mountain, Dusongguan, Yushan, Linping Mountain, and Haining City. Although the Ming army was large, Zhejiang's Jianghe
There are so many mountains and hills, it might be impossible to fight.
??
When Xiao Qiyuan gave the military order to retreat, the four prefectures of Huzhou, Yanzhou, Jinhua, and Shaoxing immediately started to panic. Those who were obedient obediently led their men to retreat to Hangzhou, while those who were disobedient simply surrendered to the Ming army.
p>
The prefects of Huzhou, Yanzhou and Shaoxing were disobedient and simply submitted to the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Wogong, the imperial envoy of the Qing court stationed in Shaoxing Prefecture and the governor of Zhejiang Province, was obedient. He took his family and subordinates with him and evacuated from Yuyao, Shaoxing to Hangzhou. He was disobedient. Over the years, he helped the Qing court lure the Ming army generals to surrender.
He massacred the anti-Qing martyrs and incurred heavy blood debts. Moreover, his methods were despicable and he threatened the lives of the martyrs' families at every turn. He knew that he could not turn back and had no choice but to flee to Hangzhou.
In Kuaiji Mountain, Shaoxing Prefecture, at the end of October, the autumn weather was getting cooler. Thousands of rebels were lurking in the mountains, not to enjoy the cool weather, but to wait for others.
Wang Jiang stood on the top of the mountain and gazed. He had gone through many vicissitudes over the years, and his hair was already covered with silver. He looked through the autumn water, stared at the valley, waiting left and right, wondering if the person who had haunted him in his dreams had not come yet. He couldn't help asking Liu Yiming a little uneasily.
: "General Liu, is the information from the Shaoxing prefect accurate? Is that person taking this path?"
Liu Yiming scratched his head, "That's what the bird magistrate said. He has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so I don't dare to lie."
"Wang Fuxian, here we come." Mao Mingshan, the Chinese military standard general, came running in a hurry. "That guy was very cunning. Instead of entering the valley, he walked around the mountain and ran to the north of the mountain. Fortunately, I was all over the mountain.
Lookout post".
"Hurry and inform generals Shen, Wu, and Yu."
Duke Yan, with three hundred soldiers and his family, hurried on the road. There were too many enemies, and he did not dare to stop. He kept urging his men to go faster and faster.
"Kill!"
Cries of killing spread everywhere, and Shen Tialun, Yu Guowang, Wu Kuiming, Mao Mingshan, and Liu Yiming arrived to kill.
The commander-in-chief of the Qing army who was guarding the imperial envoy was cut in two by Mao Mingshan with a sword before he could resist.
Soon, the battle ended, and more than seventy members of Mr. Yan's family were tied up.
Looking at Mr. Yan, Wang Jiang finally smiled and said, "Is Yan Zhaobu envoy okay?"
"Wang, Wang, Vice-President Wang." When Yan Wogong saw it was Wang Jiang, he started to tremble when he spoke. It took him a long while to utter three words: "Spare my life!"
Wang Jiang chuckled, "You have killed so many righteous people, and you still want to live?"
Pointing at Mao Mingshan, Liu Yiming, Yu Guowang, and Wu Kuiming, he said, "For you alone, thousands of righteous people have been lying in the mountains for several days. The sky will not let you down!"
"Your Majesty, I know that my crime is serious and I am willing to be punished. But why should my family deserve it? Please spare their lives."
Wang Jiang said leisurely: "Back then, when you threatened me with my mother's life, and threatened Zhang Shilang with the life of Zhang Shilang's father, why didn't you say, 'How could my family deserve it?'"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yan collapsed into a ball.
"Wang Fuxian, don't talk nonsense to this thief, kill him." Mao Mingshan, Liu Yiming, Yu Guowang, Wu Kuiming, Shen Tiaolun want to kill Mr. Yan.
Wang Jiang said: "Take him to the Dalan Mountain mass grave and kill him to comfort the heroic spirits!"
At that time, Chen Jin, Yan Wogong and others encircled Dalan Mountain and brutally washed the mountain. They killed the elderly and children on sight. After Wang Jiang and others returned to Dalan Mountain, they collected more than 20,000 corpses and buried them.
Together, they are called "mass graves."
The rebel army took Yan Woggong's family to the mass grave in Dalan Mountain. They first slaughtered Yan Woggong's family in front of them, and finally selected a soldier with good swordsmanship to cut Yan Woggong into pieces with a thousand swords.

Seeing Yan Wogong's painful expression, Wang Jiang thought of the vivid faces of Wang Yi, Feng Jingdi, Huang Zhongdao, Chen Tianshu, and the mysterious and gentle Yun Niang beside Yao Jiang.
"My real name is Zhou Jinru." Wang Jiang kept remembering the last words Yun Niang said to him, and shed tears with his eyes filled with confusion.
??
"Hahaha, this Xiao Qiyuan is really an idiot. Doesn't he know that our Ming Dynasty Navy has the advantage? He actually wants to use the power of the river to stop our army." After hearing about the defense line arranged by Xiao Qiyuan, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Ming Dynasty.
General, Duke Yan Tianfeng of Fujian is delighted.
Indeed, the line of defense deployed by Xiao Qiyuan ignored the Ming army's naval superiority.
Yan Tianfeng decided to send the navy to escort the land army across the Qiantang River and march directly to Hangzhou. However, the more than 10,000 naval remnants in the Haining water village of the Qing army still posed a threat to the Ming army's landing.
He decided to send troops to pull out the nail in Haining.
After Yan Tianfeng joined forces with Yang Huai and Yuan Zongdi, plus Lin Cha's navy, the Ming army on the south side of Hangzhou exceeded 120,000. However, on the north side, there were only 20,000 troops under Li Benzhen and Hu Maozhen, and they captured Haining, but the troops were insufficient.<
/p>
We need to increase our troops. Who should we send? It is said that both Yuan Zongdi and Yang Huai are generals who are good at fighting and are suitable to stand alone. However, Yuan Zongdi fought very well on the Western Front. Yang Huai defeated Chen Jin and got Chen Jin.
Jin's head coach was the only one who was blocked by Xianxia Pass, and the results were not great. If these two people were to make great contributions, wouldn't it cover up the glory of himself as the coach?
Yan Tianfeng thought about it and decided to change someone to take command on the northern front. He selected Hao Yongzhong, Marquis of Nan'an, and ordered Hao Yongzhong to lead Dong Fangce. Hui Zhiguan sent 30,000 troops to the northern front to join Li Benzhen and Hu Maozhen's troops to capture Haining.<
