If he wants to surrender, he must be willing to accept it from Li Guo and others.
But he killed Meng Changgeng and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. When Li Guo and others came from Badong, Zheng Siwei fought several battles with Li Guo and made Li Guo and others disgraced. At that time, he was quite proud, so he could repay his merits to the Qing court.
, now it seems that I did everything right at that time.
To defend, to be unable to defend, to break out, to be unable to break out.
A surrender will not be accepted.
Zheng Siwei was already in dire straits at this time.
Behind him, cries of killing could be heard in the city. It was obvious that the intruders had entered through several other newly-exploded gaps. Jingzhou's most elite armored soldiers were guarding this gap with him, and other places were already insufficiently defended.
Desperate Zheng Siwei gritted his teeth and shouted, "Burn the granary, set fire to Jingzhou and don't give it to the intruders, fight them to the end!"
After saying so, no one responded.
Zheng Siwei glared at the generals angrily.
"General, surrender."
"I would rather die than surrender!" Zheng Siwei shouted sharply.
The next moment, his most trusted servant, a guerrilla from Dingying Camp, stabbed him in the back of the neck with a knife.
Several more generals also drew knives and stabbed him in the body.
Zheng Siwei vomited blood and looked at these people with disbelief. These people had followed him in the mutiny, killed Meng Changgeng, and captured Jingzhou and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Now, these people actually drew their knives and stabbed themselves. He had forgotten that he could lead them to kill their bosses, and now they can naturally kill their bosses themselves. The first time they were alive, the second time they were familiar with it.
"General, you don't want to surrender, but our brothers don't want to die either."
Zheng Siwei fell down unwillingly.
Guerrilla cut off his head with a single blow, held it in his hand, and shouted at the Ming army in the distance!
"The traitor Zheng Siwei has been killed. We are willing to surrender!"
"The shun army will not fight the shun army!"
"We are all old brothers in the army!"
Each and every Jingzhou soldier general roared loudly.
Then, they stood directly on the rubble of the city wall and threw their swords and flags outside the city.
From a distance, Gao Yigong didn't seem surprised at all when he saw this scene.
"superior!"
As the city wall of Jingzhou was blown open by the Franji mercenary instructors from Yuying Shenji Town, the Jingzhou garrison collapsed, and Zheng Siwei was assassinated on the battlefield by his subordinates.
All the ministries in the city also gave up their resistance.
The Zhongzhen Battalion marched all the way into the city. The banner of the Ming Dynasty was quickly erected at the top of this important Jianghan town.
Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang and the commander-in-chief of the Zhongzhen Camp, entered the city surrounded by Li Guoxin and Gao Bizheng, the left and right commanders of the Zhongzhen Camp.
Except for the city wall that had seven or eight holes blown out, everything in Jingzhou City was still intact. There were surrendered soldiers kneeling on the street.
There is still a lot of food piled up in the granary in the city, and there are also a lot of ordnance and armor in the armory.
This war fortress had great military potential, but it was eventually destroyed by the blasting of the city wall. There were too few defenders in the city, and there was no intention of fighting to the death. In the end, there was no street fighting. After more than a month of siege, the Loyalty Battalion did not suffer any casualties and finally recovered it.
This important town was once controlled by the Shun Army for nearly two years.
But this time they took over the city as Ming troops.
Whether it was Gao Bizheng or Li Chixin, they did not make it too difficult for Zheng Siwei's soldiers. They ordered the body of Zheng Siwei, a dog thief, to be cut into pieces and thrown into pieces to feed the dogs, and the rest of the soldiers ignored the blame.
They happily divided up all the more than 10,000 troops under Zheng Siwei, whether they were regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, old or weak, and even specially allocated more than 1,000 to the Junzi Camp of Governor Du Yinxi.
Originally, the nine towns besieged Jingzhou, but now they divided all the captives and harvest into ten shares, and gave Du Yinxi one share.
Du Yinxi did not refuse and happily accepted.
All the soldiers were separated, and even the officers Li Chixin and the others did not dislike it. This seemed to Du Yinxi to have many consequences, but they did not seem to care much.
Li Chixin and others valued soldiers, armor and food, and were especially obsessed with iron armor. They also attached great importance to ships. After a strict inventory, these things were divided into ten parts, one for each family.
"Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yaoqi and the others went to Wuchang, but they missed this big harvest. I wonder if they will regret it." Gao Yigong laughed.
In fact, there were originally thirteen families in the Loyalty Camp, but Hao Yaoqi had a conflict with Gao Yigong. In anger, he simply took his troops and ran downstream. Later, after Yuan Zongdi came back from Jiangnan, he wanted to mediate, but failed.
Instead, Gao Yigong became so angry that he finally took his headquarters with him.
With the addition of General Tian Jianxiu and Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing and several other troops, it was said that they were attacking Wuchang with separate wings, but in fact the Loyalty Battalion had been split into two divisions.
The specific reasons for the split are complicated, but Gao Yigong has always been dissatisfied with them for leaving.
For the governor Du Yinxi, he was actually happy to see the Shun army split into two divisions, and his supervisor Zhu Dadian was writing to the governor, requesting that Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yongzhong, Li Zijing, Tian Jianxiu and other divisions be divided
, and set up a loyalty camp.
This will also prevent the remnants of the original Shun Army from becoming too powerful and losing control of their tail in the future.
Li Guo really didn't want to see the Shun Army split, but now that it had come to this point, he had no choice but to smile and said, "Fuyuan, Jingzhou and below, what should we do next?"
Du Yinxi looked at the flag of the Ming Dynasty fluttering in the wind on the top of the city, and his heart was surging. "Assemble an elite team and take a boat along the river to Wuchang to participate in the battle of siege of Wuchang. The rest of the troops will be divided into several groups to attack Chengtian Mansion."
Wait, in addition, the chieftains in Shizhouwei, Yongshun, and Baojing have many surrendered to the Qing Dynasty before, so this time we will also divide our troops to attack one or two."
Li Chixin, the Marquis of Xingguo, looked at Jingzhou City, "Previously he went to the south of the Yangtze River to pay a pilgrimage to supervise the country. His Highness also said that after capturing Jingzhou, he would hand it over to Jingxi Marquis Yuan Zongdi. Now he is in Wuchang, and we captured Jingzhou, but we have to abandon it.
, I really can’t bear to part with it.”
Du Yinxi consoled him, "It's just an empty city. If you don't want to leave it, you can take it back at any time."
"But even if we abandon the defense, we can't give the Tatars any advantage. Before leaving, mobilize the people to tear down the city wall and fill the moat with city bricks."
The people in the city moved to the Badong Mountains, especially the craftsmen, and all the boats had to be collected and taken away.
Leave not a single person or a grain of food for the Tatars.

A few days later.
Chengtian Mansion, Zhongxiang's city was destroyed, and the city wall was blown down by Franji blasters. Zhongxiang didn't have many soldiers at all. He went south to reinforce Wuchang before, but now he was easily captured.
The remaining guard led his troops to surrender directly, but the prefect actually committed suicide by hanging himself in the government office.
His subordinates hold official seals and registers to please surrender.
Those who came to attack Zhongxiang were the Tian Hu tribe of the Zhongzhen Camp. They happily accepted the surrender and brought all the hundreds of Qing troops into the camp. Then they happily moved money and food from the treasury and even attacked big households.
Of course, this is no longer the way it was done during the invasion of the army. Now it is called to purge the traitors who surrendered to the captives. Not all big households are attacked, only those who are evil and help the tiger. But even the ordinary big households are required to move with the army.
It's impossible not to leave. If you don't leave, you will be joining the enemy and you will bear the consequences.
on the Yangtze River,
More than 2,000 large and small ships sailed down the river and sailed into the three towns of Wuhan.
Zhu Dadian, the Superintendent of the Seven Provinces, led troops from the Thirteenth Town of Huguang to surround Wuchang City, while Zhang Kuang, the Superintendent of the Seven Provinces, led troops to surround the town of Hankou on the east bank of the Han River on the other side.
Tian Jianxiu and Li Zijing divided their forces to besiege Huangzhou Prefecture and Wuchang County (Echeng) on the other side.
Generals Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yongzhong and Liu Tichun surrounded Hanyang on the west bank of the Hanjiang estuary.
A superintendent led more than 30 generals and more than 200,000 loyal and loyal generals to surround several major towns.
Tong Dai in Wuchang City waited day and night, and finally saw warships coming up the river, but found out that it was not the Qing army coming to rescue, but the damn Zhongzhen Battalion that had conquered Jingzhou and went south.
The desperate Tong Dai returned to the Governor's Mansion and couldn't help but start writing a suicide note!
