Chapter 524: Its better to be a relative of the emperor
However, now that Qian Qianyi is not dead, Liu Rushi is still the mistress of the Qian family, and no one dares to force her.
Their daughter is still waiting to be married!
Originally, Qian Qianyi planned to use his daughter to marry those in Jiangnan.
But after seeing Zhu Hongyu, he changed his mind!
Instead of marrying those people, why not just become relatives of the emperor!
Anyway, those people didn't pay attention to their work. This time, the decisive battle between Ming and Qing Dynasties was not decided, so they pushed Qian Qianyi out to show his favor to Ming Dynasty.
Completely disregarding his life and death!
Qian Qianyi naturally gave up the idea.
Instead of using your hot face to stick to those people's cold buttocks, it's better to find a big backer for yourself.
Zhu Hongyu did not refuse after hearing this, but nodded and agreed.
Again!
Although Zhu Hongyu doesn't like marriage, he can understand it.
We know that marriage is the fastest way to bring the two parties closer together!
Zhu Hongyu wanted to use Qian Qianyi's daughter to show his favor to those in Jiangnan.
Look, look, Qian Qianyi, a guy with "an itchy scalp and too cold water", I didn't even care about his past affairs.
What else do you have to hesitate about?
Why don’t you come back quickly and rejoin the warm embrace of my big Ming family?
These are troubled times, and it is also a critical moment when the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are fighting for the world. Morality and cleanliness are unacceptable.
If Zhu Hongyu is really determined not to surrender, then it is estimated that the Ming army is still playing hide and seek with Guangxi officials in the mountains and ravines of Guangxi!
How can it be determined by local propaganda?
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Hongyu to let go of some people with extremely bad records, such as Hong Chengchou, Shi Lang, and a family named Kong in Qufu, Shandong.
In order to compete with the Manchus for the hearts of the people, Zhu Hongyu would indeed be very merciful when facing those who were demoted.
But his generosity is for humans, not for animals!
For some beasts who have no bottom line, Zhu Hongyu will never show mercy when he needs to be ruthless.
After Qian Qianyi and Zheng Chenggong resigned, Zhu Hongyu also began to take a rest.
On the second day, the genius has just dawned!
The Ming army launched an attack on Jiaxing City.
The earth-shaking roar of heavy artillery opened the clarion call for the Ming army to attack.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the deafening explosions, countless artillery shells were fired towards the city walls of Jiaxing City.
The cannonball hit the city wall, causing the earth and rocks to shatter and pieces of wood to scatter.
The densely packed wall stacks on the city wall were swept away, and the city gate tower turned into ruins almost as soon as the Ming army's heavy artillery opened fire.
The roaring heavy artillery of the Ming army told the defenders in Jiaxing City!
This Ming army's attack is not a small-scale test last time, but a real one!
One after another, explosive bombs exploded at the top of Jiaxing City, and fragments swept around.
The power of the explosive shells using new gunpowder is quite astonishing. Every time a shell explodes, it can sweep everything around.
Each Qing soldier was swept away by fragments, his body was torn apart, and he flew out like a rag bag.
The ferocity of the Ming army's shelling directly frightened Qian Qianyi, who was still staying in the Ming army camp.
"It's so scary! It's so scary!"
"I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty's bombardment would be so ferocious!"
Watching the Ming army's overwhelming bombardment of Jiaxing City, Qian Qianyi gradually became confident that the Ming army could win a complete victory in this decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River.
I don’t believe the Qing army can withstand such a ferocious bombardment!
Those people did not follow martial ethics and pushed Qian Qianyi out as a bargaining chip to show his favor to the Ming Dynasty. However, they did not know that they also gave Qian Qianyi a great opportunity to board the ship in advance.
When Qian Qianyi becomes famous in the new dynasty in the future as a relative of the emperor, he must "thank and thank" those people!
…
The news that the Ming army stormed Jiaxing City also reached Tuhai's ears.
Watching the person in front of him reporting the news to him, Tu Hai's eyes gradually became more and more serious.
"The Ming army is attacking Jiaxing!"
"Our army must speed up. We must not sit back and watch the Ming army capture Jiaxing!"
Tu Hai said in a very firm tone.
Because he knew that Jiaxing City was the most critical node in this battle.
No matter who wins Jiaxing City first between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they will have the upper hand in this battle.
After Hong Chengchou arrived in the south, his health improved a little.
Because, as a Fujianese, he is more accustomed to the weather in the south.
Originally in the north, it seemed that he was about to die, but now after crossing the river, there are some signs that the dead trees are blooming.
Or maybe it’s a flashback, maybe!
Now Hong Chengchou has a little more vitality and vitality!
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou nodded and said.
"That's true! What you say makes sense!"
"But I think our army doesn't need to worry too much. Jiaxing is a fortified city after all. How can it be so easy to break through?"
When the Qing army first entered Jiangnan, it took a lot of effort to conquer Jiaxing.
Hong Chengchou did not believe that the Ming army could capture Jiaxing within three or four days!
it's out of the question!
"I hope that the Ming army can risk their lives to attack Jiaxing, and then when they attack the city, our army will fight to the outside of Jiaxing city."
"At that time, we can cooperate with the defenders in the city, cooperate inside and outside, and annihilate the Ming thieves in one fell swoop!"
Under Tuhai's order, the Qing army suddenly accelerated their march.
Tuhai even sent cavalry with faster marching speed to attack Jiaxing City, preparing to reinforce Jiaxing.
…
Boom! Boom!
The Ming army's bombardment continued, and shells hit the top of Jiaxing City hard one after another.
The roars continued one after another!
Balls of fire exploded at the top of Jiaxing City, filling the air with smoke and dust.
The sound of horns and drums resounded across the battlefield, and flags and orders swept across the battlefield.
After receiving the military order, a group of Ming troops rushed towards the Jiaxing city wall under the cover of artillery fire.
The shouting of killing shook the sky!
Red armor swept across, and the square formation surged forward like burning flames.
Rifled gunners formed an array and fired volleys, pouring firepower on the city, suppressing the Qing defenders on the city, and providing fire cover for their own troops to ascend the city.
Under the precise shooting of the Ming army's rifle gunners, the Qing army basically just showed up and was greeted by a bullet.
The lead bullet pierced the body and sprayed blood.
Under the cover of our own muskets and artillery, the Ming army began to ascend the city!
A heavily armored soldier wearing heavy armor, holding a sword and shield, was fully armed and charged towards the city.
They shouted loudly to show off their bravery.
The Qing troops defending the city in Jiaxing had never seen such a scene before, and their faces were pale with fear.
No matter how hard the supervising team pressed them, no one was willing to climb the city to fight the Ming army attacking the city.
"The Ming thief's firepower is so fierce that no one can even stand on top of the city!"
"Sir, it's not that our brothers are unwilling to sacrifice their lives, it's that they really can't hold on!"
"The Ming army's artillery was so numerous that even the city wall was about to collapse!"
"..."
Listening to the complaints of the people below, Jiaxing guard Qi Da looked very ugly.
"Climb the city! Climb the city!"
"If no one dares to climb the city, how can Jiaxing be defended?!"
Qaida forcefully ordered the Qing army to ascend the city to resist the Ming army's siege.
They also dispatched a team to supervise the battle and ordered those who disobeyed the order to be killed. Only then did the Qing army begin to ascend the city and fight fiercely with the Ming army.
Of course, the more important reason is that as the Ming army climbed to the top of the city, the Ming army's artillery bombardment and musket fire suppression also came to an abrupt end.
Without the fire suppression of the Ming army, the Qing army dared to attack the city!
However, even without the fire suppression of muskets and artillery, the situation at the top of the city was still that the Ming army was massacring the Jiaxing defenders one-sidedly.
