Qiming 1158

Chapter 1653 The Death of Ping Qingsheng

What Ping Qingsheng knew was that the people around him kept dying in battle, and the screams of familiar people kept ringing.

After a brief period of confusion, he was out of anger.

In front of me, killing my subordinates, is so unscrupulous?
At the last moment of his life, he raised the knife angrily and dragged his aging body with all his might to launch an attack like when he was young and show his bravery.

It was with such bravery that he won the trust of the samurai, and was able to establish the first quasi samurai regime in the history of Japan, opening the precedent for the samurai to surpass the powerful and on the political stage.

In this respect, he is a pioneer, albeit not so much of a progressive force.

However, times have changed.

The musket spewed smoke and tongues of flame, mercilessly taking away his ambitions and ideals.

Three rounds of lead hit him, breaking his body, bleeding profusely, and severe pain hit him. He fell to the ground weakly, twitched a few times, and died.

When he died, his eyes widened, full of unwillingness.

The Ping family's breakout detachment was almost wiped out. In the end, only a dozen women and children were left begging for mercy. They were not killed by the Ming army and became prisoners.

At the same time, there were not many breakout incidents in the whole of Ping An Jing. After losing the unified command of the armed forces in the city, many of them became frightened, and they put down their weapons and surrendered piece by piece.

The powerful bureaucrats who lost their armed forces did not have the guts to fight the Ming army to the death. Except for a few who had the guts to die, most of them surrendered.

Ironically, those who resisted the most were the stubborn members of the two groups, the Goryeo escapees and the Southern Song escapees.

Xu Shi knew that if they didn't fight, they would be arrested and executed by the Ming Kingdom, and there was no hope of life, so the old and young fought very fiercely, and of course they were wiped out by the Ming army.

However, there are exceptions, that is, some people who cooperated with the Skynet Army. They got a plan to retreat early. In the chaotic situation in the city, by hiding in the cellar or slipping out of the city through a small road, they saved it. life.

Afterwards, they used the identity token handed over by the Skynet Army spies to find the Ming army, and handed over the token to prove their identity in order to save their lives.

Kong Zhende, who thought he needed to fight for two days and two nights in Heianjing, was surprised to find that the resistance in the city was over in about three hours, and their gains were huge. It seems that a large number of figures from the ruling class have become his captives here. .

Kong Zhende has not relaxed his vigilance for the time being. He still sends people to keep an eye on the four directions, intending to garrison the army here, but the large amount of loot and important prisoners obtained after the victory need to be moved to a safer place.

For example, when we return to the Kingdom of Setsu, the Namba capital there is a relatively complete city, which can be used to defend against the sea, as a temporary security station, to store trophies and prisoners of war, and to transfer them at any time at the command of the General Headquarters. .

And Ping An Jing will become a nail here, no matter who comes, he will be bombarded by the iron fist of the Ming army.

Therefore, following his series of orders, the Ming army's actions were quicker and even more rude, and there was no warmth to be said for the prisoners, only a straightforward and thorough order.

This can make the dignitaries miserable.

No matter how small or weak the country is, there is still a ruling class. Their upper-level ruling class life will never be bad. To them, they take it for granted.

However, under the brutal scolding and shoving of the soldiers of the Ming army, all dignity was lost, and all dignity ceased to exist.

They once dreamed of becoming the Great Tang by studying the Great Tang, but they were not the Great Tang after all.

The person with the highest status captured this time is a former emperor who abdicated, and now seems to be called the emperor or the emperor. There seems to be more than one such person, but only the emperor Shirakawa has more status and power.

According to the spy's explanation, it seems that because this person is supported by Ping Qingsheng, his status is detached. Except for Ping Qingsheng, he is the person with the highest status in this city.

Kong Zhende also learned from the spies that the political struggle in Japan was also very interesting. The political struggle between the incumbent emperor and the abdicated French emperor ran through, but in the end, the fisherman benefited, and Ping Qingsheng became the final victor.

Of course, now the victor has become a corpse, and his body has been identified, which has become a footnote to the exploits of Kong Zhende and the soldiers of the 41st Division.

Kong Zhende doesn't care about these things now, he just wants to transport all the valuable spoils away as soon as possible. He has completed his task, and then he must consider the safety of the victory and the soldiers.

But it seems that the group of Japanese dignitaries are still a little bit unaccustomed to the behavior of the Ming army.

Especially the Emperor Baihe, because he was treated rudely, and a group of seemingly loyal people guarded him in front of him, arguing with the soldiers of the Ming army in Chinese.

Kong Zhende was very angry and directly asked his subordinates to let them know what a prisoner was, what a victor was, and what a rule was.

So the protesters were beaten, and they were not allowed to eat for a day. After that, Baihe was taken out and chained, and placed at the front of the prisoners, asking him to lead the prisoners all the way.

The prisoners were treated obediently, and all the wealth and precious objects in Ping An Jing were also taken away by the Ming army.

The huge number of escapees from the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo were almost captured in Ping'anjing. With the collapse of the Ping Qing Sheng regime, these guys who depended on the Ping Qing Sheng regime to survive also became the spoils of the Ming army without any surprise.

Except for the few who have cooperated with the Ming Kingdom, most of them will eventually become captives and will soon usher in their end.

Because there were a lot of loot, the Ming army was short of hands, so Kong Zhende took out the salt and vegetable pancakes as food rations to tempt the residents of Ping Anjing, and told them that if they did things for the Ming army, they would have the pancakes to eat, and the Ming army also promised that they would not hurt them. .

The ragged and disheveled residents chose the flatbread between the flatbread and the fear.

Those who do not hurt are bullshit. The residents of Ping An Jing have never met a samurai who treats them well, so they do not believe that the Ming army will not hurt them.

But there is nowhere to escape, and the pie is real.

Even if he will be killed by the Ming army in the end, in the end, he must be a full-fledged ghost, not a starving ghost, and it is more important than anything else to be able to eat a full meal before his death.

After wolfing down the big cakes that served as a deposit, more than 2 residents pushed the carts and followed the Ming army team to carry the spoils in Ping'an capital and left Ping'an capital, and followed the Ming army all the way back to Setjin.

As expected by Xin Qiji and Kong Zhende, from the beginning to the end of this assault, none of the reinforcements from the surrounding areas arrived at Ping'an Beijing for rescue.

In fact, the places closer to Ping An Jing already knew the news when the Ming army attacked the Kingdom of Settsu, and Ping An Jing had dispatched personnel in time to ask them to bring troops to support Ping An Jing immediately and defend Ping An Jing.

But obviously the soldiers and loyal retainers in these places began to make their own calculations under the raid of the powerful Ming army.

They should really appreciate Ping Qingsheng for promoting them and giving them status, and they also admire Ping Qingsheng, so when Ping Qingsheng encounters danger, they should spare no effort to rescue Ping Qingsheng.

But the Ming army is a bit too strong, right?

Everyone's loyalty is obviously relatively flexible. When there is no danger, everyone's loyalty is full, and they are always on call.

But when there is danger, everyone's loyalty begins to waver, and the body is still relatively dull.

Especially when the news of the Ming army's major defeat of the Ping's army and the fall of Ping'anjing came, it was even more impossible for them to come.

The sky fell, and the strongest strongman was defeated.

Ping Qingsheng has been defeated, can we still defeat the Ming army and win?

impossible.

So everyone is in danger, and everyone is worried that the Ming army will further attack them.

The big picture is set.
