"Defeated! Defeated! The Great Qing is defeated!"

On the battlefield on the north bank of Suishui, a huge shout sounded like a mountain roar and a tsunami. It was heartbreaking and heartbreaking. It swept across Suishui and reached the ears of the Eight Banners soldiers in Fuliji City!

And from Guerjia Gesi, the deputy director of the Jiangxi Camp in the Qing Dynasty, who once followed the three brothers Dorgon, Duoduo, and Azig to conquer the east and west, and experienced the last wave of the battle of destroying Ming and Shun. Looking out of Old Man Tiger's eyes, what he saw was a suffocating despair.

At this time, he was standing on the north wall of Fuliji. Looking to the left, he was inside the city of Fuliji. Although the Ming army had firmly occupied the huge opening, there was a strong Huaixi warrior with a red scarf on his head and a spear and a plain knife in his hand. The tide is pouring in, but the Eight Banners soldiers in the city are still trying to resist.

Looking to the right, it is the scene of the collapse of the whole army that shocked Gestai!
How did this collapse happen? Gestai has not figured it out until now. Anyway, just as he was about to go down to the city to organize troops to resist, Geshha beside him suddenly told him that a group of green camp soldiers led by General Mu had collapsed outside the city. .

Gestai was shocked when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at it quickly. After a look, he seemed to be frozen, motionless, and then he saw several Qing army phalanxes that were still in good shape, one after another, "seeing the thief" And collapse". That's right, it's "seeing the collapse of the thief". Before the rebels on the north bank of Suishui outside the city even launched a charge, a phalanx of the green battalion with 4000 to [-] people collapsed inexplicably!

What surprised Gestai even more was that after the Green Battalion phalanx disintegrated, those Green Battalion soldiers did not disperse and flee in all directions. Instead, they dropped their weapons and ran towards the Ming cavalry groups that were facing them. Became a prisoner.

Fleeing on sight of a thief has thus become surrendering on sight of a thief!
And the other four phalanxes composed of the Banner Army and the Green Battalion of the Jiangdong Camp not only did not send troops to prevent the phalanx of the Green Battalion from defecting, but also began to flee northward at the same time they defected!

Seeing this scene, Gerstai, who had been in the army since childhood and had experienced dozens of battles, was stunned.Not to mention that this kind of thing didn't happen in the Qing army, even in the Ming army that was wiped out before. At least Gestai didn't know about it.

No matter how much the Ming army stretched their hips back then, at most they would run away or surrender to the enemy.

Now the Qing soldiers defected to the enemy and fled at the same time!

In the end what happened?
Why do those who join the enemy join the enemy, and those who run away run away?
Could it be that Xuzhou was breached by Wang Datou?Or was Xi'an broken by Wu Sangui's people, and the little emperor died for his country?Even Beijing has been broken by Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition?

The more Gerstai thought about it, the more frightened she became, she was paralyzed by fright, and just stood there frozen.But he didn't freeze for too long, because a large number of Ming troops with bayonet-mounted flintlock guns rushed up the city wall of Fuliji, and defeated the Qing troops guarding the city wall.Seeing that the musketeers of the Ming army who were stabbing people with bayonets and "wounding people with dark guns" were about to rush to Gestai, Gesha of Gestai hurriedly carried him to the city wall.

And when Gestai was escorted by his subordinates and ran outside his temporary government office, the place was already in a dire situation.His official office is located in the central area of ​​Fuliji, and there is a crossroad outside (the entire Fuliji is only two streets away). He arrived before he could enter the official office to catch his breath and drink a bowl of ginseng soup to refresh himself. The Qing army retreated from the three directions of the west gate, north gate and south gate, and the crowd rolled back.

These Eight Banners soldiers were really worthless, they were crying the loudest while running!
"The city is broken, the city is broken"

"The traitor is powerful, run away!"

"There are too many rebels, run away!"

Gustai was speechless after running away. These Eight Banners soldiers have been practicing for two or three years. Why are they still like this?Still running?What are you running?The horses are all eaten, can they still run?Can you run with two legs better than others with four legs?Alas, even if those Huaixi rebels don't ride horses, the Eight Banners from Beijing can't compete with others in running!There are often floods here in Huaixi, and those who run slowly are drowned, and everyone who can survive until now can run!
Moreover, the four gates of Fuliji's southeast, northwest, and north have been blocked. The Ming army used cannons to open a gap before rushing in. How did the Eight Banners soldiers in the city escape?Get out of the city?Or jump directly from the two-foot-high city wall?Aren't you afraid of breaking your leg?

Thinking of this, Gerstai hurriedly shouted: "Don't run and fight with them! Quick, stop them!"

No one agreed!
Gestai looked left and right, only to realize that his Geshha had already run away!

He had no choice but to rush into his own government office to shake people, but after rushing in, he found that there was no one there, those Geshha and Muyou masters, and even his own Sula slaves, all ran away He's gone, he's a naked man now!
Gerstai had no choice but to find a cloth-covered iron armor and put it on his body carelessly, then picked up a simple knife, and rushed out of the official office by himself. Army" was chasing a few Eight Banners soldiers who were probably wounded by gunshot wounds, and their armor was stained red with blood. They were fighting, shouting while chasing and killing.

"Hand over your head!"

"You can't run away, just suffer your death!"

"I only want your heads."

This head can be exchanged for "New Great Ming Option"!As many Tartars' heads are cut off, as many "options" will be issued. After the Fuming Conference is over and the new Ming Dynasty is officially opened, the "options" will become shares, and children and grandchildren will have a good life.

Seeing his subordinates being bullied like this, Gestai couldn't bear it any longer. He waved the simple knife and shouted: "Gestai is here!" and pounced on him like an old tiger.

When he yelled, he immediately got himself into trouble. When the "red scarf soldiers" saw his style, they knew he was a high-ranking official—the head of a high-ranking official is valuable!So he turned around and charged at him, three or four spears slapped and stabbed at him together, and there were two other men with simple knives looking for opportunities to attack him.There are so many people bullying him, an old man, he really has no martial arts!

Gestai, the old Tartar, is really old, his strength and reaction are not as good as when he was young, and he has no power to fight back when he is besieged by five or six people. If he blocked it, if he didn't pay attention, someone cut him on the shoulder. Although the blade was blocked by the cloth armor, the heavy swing still made his shoulder sore and painful, and he lost his strength for a while.Now he couldn't resist the three or four spears, one of them fell in the air, and hit him impartially on his forehead wearing a gun helmet. As soon as his eyes were dark, he lost consciousness and of course his head!

A "Red Scarf Army" took advantage of his coma and chopped off his head with an axe!

At the same time when Gestai was beheaded alive, the Eight Banners soldiers in Fuliji City had completely collapsed. Under the impact of the overwhelming number of Ming troops, they completely lost their organization and fell into a panic, like headless chickens He was driven to the east gate of Fuliji, because the east gate was blocked long ago, and he couldn't get out at all, so he had to rush up the city wall and jump down again.
A city wall two feet high!
It is equivalent to standing on three floors and jumping down!Although the ground below is relatively soft mud, but at this height, if one is not good, it will completely become a military exploit "to be picked up"!
Even if the jump is good, there is not much chance to escape, because there is a battalion head from Dingyuan County outside the city, all composed of children with the surnames Xu, Qi, and Li. It is said that they are all descendants of heroes of the Ming Dynasty anyway. Today is the blessing of the ancestors, and the ancestral grave is smoking!

The credit actually fell from the two-foot-high city wall by itself, so what are you waiting for?If you don't grab this, the ancestors below will die in a hurry, it's a hurry!
The more than 1000 soldiers of the Huai army are just like the more than 1000 vicious tigers, they rushed to chop off people's heads.

And the Huai Army in Fuliji City was also eager for credit, how could they commit suicide by jumping over the wall?Even if you want to commit suicide, if you jump inside or outside, your head will be cut off by someone outside.

At the thought of running away, these Huaixi soldiers also rushed like crazy!Some people even found a long ladder, and came to attack the city from the inside, and some shotgun soldiers even ignored the arrow clusters shot by the Qing soldiers, and went directly to the bottom of the city wall and shot upwards!
The bloody battle continued like this for two or three hours, until there was no more headed Eight Banners soldiers inside or outside Fuliji city. In the battle of Fuliji, nearly [-] levels of beheadings were beheaded!

While Fu Liji's bloody battle was going on, a chasing battle was also taking place on the north bank of Suishui.

Mu Zhan's reaction was fairly quick, and he immediately issued an order to disband the phalanx and retreat the entire army. Because he knew that this battle was hopeless!

Xuzhou is lost!

Xuzhou green camp defected!
Fuliji was surrounded by groups, and there was Sui Shui between Mu Zhan's troops and Fuliji. The two armies could see but couldn't reach them, so they had no choice but to retreat.

But even if they retreat, only God knows how many people will survive in the end!

Because most of Mu Zhan's troops were infantry without horses, and the enemies around them had thousands of cavalry with horses.The infantry who disbanded and fled was prey for these cavalry.

Of course, it doesn't work if you don't run.Because of the defection of the Xuzhou Green Camp, other people also know that Xuzhou has lost the rear, and the number of enemies is large, and there are also a large number of cavalry. Judging by the movement of their bombardment of Fu Liji, there are also a lot of artillery. A cannon in red with twelve catties of projectiles!
If you don't run away quickly, the whole army will be wiped out!
And how many can run away?

At this time, while riding on a horse, he was quickly evacuated from the battlefield by a group of officers and personal soldiers Goshha who had lost their men and fled on horseback.

The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!
Nanjing, East Prince's Mansion.

Eastern King Geng Jingzhong has also realized that he is going to win the Nanjing Defense Battle!
Because the attack of the Qing army outside the city has become weaker and weaker during this period, they have given up their attacks on Yuhuatai and Xiaolingwei since a few days ago.Outside the city of Nanjing, which had been fighting fiercely for many days, it suddenly became very quiet.

But Geng Jingzhong's mood didn't get better because the victory was in sight. He, Win was worried!
Can you not worry?
Can he win the defense of Nanjing this time?Seems like it can't?Although he has always led troops to guard the city wall of the inner city of Nanjing, the battle between Yuhuatai and Xiaolingwei was fought by Lu Sanhao's army.

In addition, on the Yangtze River waterway north of Nanjing, Chen Yonghua's navy also fought several beautiful battles, sinking and capturing hundreds of Shi Lang's warships.

And the biggest victory came from Wang Datou's Northern Expeditionary Army!

The Northern Expedition army captured Xuzhou, encircled Gestai's 2 Eight Banners cavalry in Fuliji, and monitored more than [-] people in Muzhan's military newspaper, which had already been sent to Nanjing.

Once Xuzhou was lost, the water transport between the north and the south was cut off, and Mu Zhan and Gestai's troops were the main force of Yue Le's Jiangdong Camp. Jiangbei has gained a foothold!Unless he can turn himself into a Han Chinese, the second Zhang Shicheng entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River.And this is obviously impossible!
Once Yue Le leaves, who will Southeast belong to?

Now the most powerful person in the southeast must be Geng Jingzhong himself. Geng Jingzhong owns the southern Anhui prefecture in Anhui, several prefectures in eastern Fujian, including the provincial capital Fuzhou, and is the biggest "lord" in Nanjing, and he is also the Eastern King of Ming Dynasty!

However, Wang Datou is rising very fast now, and his strength is constantly expanding, so he should not be underestimated!
Not to mention his family's strength in Guangdong, this time he sent troops to Jiangbei and played very well, not only won most of Huaixi, but even Xuzhou!Although Huaixi and Xuzhou are shared by him and the Northern King.But Liu Jinzhong doesn't seem to be able to play against him. Now Huaixi only knows that there is Li Zhongtang, but Liu Beiwang
"Dongwang, my sister wrote a letter, saying that King Liubei is not Wang Datou's stature at all, and those regiment leaders in Huaixi don't listen to him, so he is going to ask Wang Datou for Xuzhou as his home, Huaidong and Huaixi. He doesn't want it!"

It was Shang Zhixin who was talking to Geng Jingzhong, and he looked even more anxious than Geng Jingzhong.

It's not that Geng Jingzhong has no way out. The big deal is to return to Fujian and become the Eastern King of the separatist side.

But he, Shang Zhixin, was not so lucky. He was not the prince of Ming Dynasty. He also had no place to stand on his own. Although he and his two brothers had several thousand Shang family troops, the salary of the Shang family army was paid by the Nanjing court. Lu Sanhao, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, came out.

Originally, his sister Shang Shuying married Liu Jinzhong, and Liu Jinzhong became the king of the North, so he could support him with Geng Jingzhong.But this King Liu Bei wants to go to Xuzhou now, and will not care about Nanjing in the future.

If Geng Jingzhong also left, what would he do?How will he avenge him?
Geng Jingzhong glanced at his "good brother" Shang Zhixin, "My father, what do you think?"

Shang Zhidao: "First of all, we can't let Wang Datou come back! If he comes back, he will definitely take the Huai army brigade with him. Will you still have to talk to me in Nanjing? I'm afraid you will have to leave like Liu Jinzhong. But Liu Jinzhong was originally A general town, now has a northern king, and earns a lot. But you are the prince."

Geng Jingzhong snorted: "The Son of Heaven's avatar is furious that I have more than one future king!"

"Yes! You can't be a little king at ease!" Shang Zhi said, "So you can't let Wang Datou go back to Nanjing, you have to let him stay in Huaixi temporarily."

"How do I keep this?" Geng Jingzhong asked.

"You can play the first king of the king to Jian Guobiao!"

"A king?" Geng Jingzhong frowned, "Make him King Huai?"

"No need," Shang Zhixin said, "Duke Huai is too big, and it is easy for the Huai people to misunderstand him and regard him as the master of the Lianghuai. His father already owns Lianghuai. If he has Lianghuai again, the emperor may be afraid."

"What kind of king is that?"

"King of England!" Geng Jingzhong said, "Make him a King of England!"

"King of England?" Geng Jingzhong was taken aback, "Why are you named King of Ying?"

"Because England is in Huainan!"

"Britain is in Huainan?" Geng Jingzhong scratched his head, his geography is not bad, but he remembered that Britain was not in Huainan, but somewhere to the west.

""Historical Records. Xia Benji" said: Emperor Yu established Gaotao and recommended him, and accepted the government, and Gaotao died, and after Gaotao was granted the title of Ying, Liu. The "English" here is Britain, and Britain was later taken over by Chu State The land is now called Yingshan County. In history, the Jiujiang Wang Yingbu was a native of Chu. Now the homeland of Britain is controlled by the Jiangxi camp of the Qing court. If Wang Datou becomes the king of England, then he It is necessary to break the Jiangxi camp and regain the land of Britain!

In addition, if Feng Wang Datou became the King of England, it would be very difficult for him to compete with his elder brother for the position of Prince Nan's son! "

"So that's it!" Geng Jingzhong nodded, "Then it is reasonable to say that a British king is the head of the king."

"Secondly, we have to send troops to break the Jiangnan camp and the Jiangdong camp as soon as possible!" Shang Zhixin said every word, "Otherwise, this credit will be given by Wang Datou. How can you be the emperor's avatar?"
