"Your Majesty the Governor!" Several close associates wailed and wiped away tears.

But after wiping it for a while, I found that my Lord Governor was still alive.

Lang Tingzuo was trembling all over. He originally had a heart of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

But when the sword was placed on his neck, he became afraid.

It's better to die than to live. Is our Qing Dynasty worthy of Lang Tingzuo's loyalty to him?

"Sir?" Several close followers asked after seeing this.

"This...this hand is weak."

Lang Tingzuo spoke, having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.

Our Qing Dynasty was not kind to him. From a humble servant to the position of governor of Liangjiang, we must repay this kindness!

But asking him, Lang Tingzuo, to commit suicide to serve the country, he really couldn't do it!

Although he killed many Jiangnan gentry and common people in his position as governor of Liangjiang.

But as the saying goes, be strict with others and be lenient with yourself.

It was too much to ask Lang Tingzuo to die.

With a bang, the door of the house was kicked open.

Feng Tianyu, the commander-in-chief of Qianfeng Town, personally led the team to the Governor's Mansion immediately.

"Protect the master!"

Lang Tingzuo's last few cronies immediately came over with knives to kill.

Feng Tianyu stabbed one of them to death instantly.

The rest of the Qianfeng Town soldiers raised their swords and killed these cronies in a matter of seconds.

After hearing this, Lang Tingzuo plucked up his courage and shouted loudly.

Then the sword on his neck was hard, causing him to scream in pain.

Upon seeing this, several soldiers from Qianfeng Town quickly stepped forward to capture the person in front of them.

They knew that the old traitor in front of them must be a big fish.

"Wait a minute." Feng Tianyu waved his hand.

The soldiers under his command quickly stopped their movements.

A group of forward town soldiers surrounded Lang Tingzuo and stared at the governor of Liangjiang.

"Who are you?" Feng Tianyu asked with a smile.

"Western thief, I won't change my surname even if I'm in business, I won't change my surname when I'm in office, so is Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

A blood mark appeared on Lang Tingzuo's neck. The sword was stained with blood, but the wound was not deep.

This suicide was so painful that Lang Tingzuo couldn't do it at all!

"Oh, so you are the biggest traitor in the south of the Yangtze River and the biggest slave of the Tatars." A joking smile appeared on Feng Tianyu's lips.

"Aren't you, a big traitor, going to kill yourself to repay the kindness of the Tatars?"

"I will give you a chance. You can kill yourself."

As soon as these words came out, a group of soldiers from Qianfeng Town looked at the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi with great interest.

I want to see how such a big traitor died.

Lang Tingzuo was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to commit suicide but was afraid of death and pain. He wanted to surrender but because of the kindness of the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't get off the stage in full view of the public!

If this general can treat him with courtesy, Sun Ke hopes to personally persuade him to surrender.

Just like Huang Taiji treated Hong Chengchou, maybe Lang Tingzuo would feel ashamed of the Qing Dynasty as soon as he gritted his teeth.

But he, the governor of Liangjiang, was so despised by the Western bandit in front of him.

He was ordered to kill himself again. In this situation, what if he asked for mercy?

"Hey, are you going to kill yourself?" shouted a soldier from Qianfeng Town.

"Yes, Lord Governor, if you want to kill yourself, hurry up."

"Brothers have been waiting for me for a long time." Another soldier said dissatisfied.

"That's right! I've never seen anyone commit suicide in my whole life."

"And he is such a big official. Governor Liang, please hurry up."

For a time, the impatient soldiers in Qianfeng Town were all dissatisfied.

What does Lang Tingzuo mean when he assumes this posture and hesitates?

Lang Tingzuo was extremely sad and angry among the crowd. His dignified governor of Liangjiang was so insulted by these vulgar Western thieves.

This is really unfair!

A tragic shout sounded.

Lang Tingzuo once again plucked up the courage and exerted his strength on the sword in his hand.

The surrounding Qianfeng Town soldiers stretched their heads and watched with interest.

Suddenly Lang Tingzuo felt as if he had been pricked by a needle or bitten by a snake.

The whole body moved and the sword fell to the ground.

The whole person was holding his neck in pain.

It would be too painful to kill yourself.

"Hey hey hey——"

A series of scornful sounds rang out, and everyone in Qianfeng Town shook their heads, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, this traitor must be too afraid of death."

"Hahaha, I don't think this bitch dares to die at all."

Amid the roar of laughter, Lang Tingzuo's face turned pale.

His whole dignity felt like he was being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Western thief.

"I am the governor of Liangjiang and a first-class official. How dare you humiliate me like this!" He said angrily, covering his neck.

"Okay, okay." Feng Tianyu said impatiently: "I don't have that much free time to play around with you."

"Lang Tingzuo, are you going to kill yourself? If you can't do it yourself, you won't be loyal to the Tatars."

"General, I can ask my brothers to help you."

"Brothers, do you think so?"

"Yes!" a group of Western thieves shouted.

"I……"

Lang Tingzuo was speechless for a while. He also wanted to be loyal to our Qing Dynasty and leave his name in history with the integrity of all ministers.

But he really can't do anything to himself!

Seeing that Lang Tingzuo was still dilly-dallying, the Western thieves in Qianfeng Town couldn't help it.

"Lang Tingzuo, I would like to give you a warm word to your ancestor, don't kill yourself!"

A soldier next to Feng Tianyu cursed and said.

"That's right! Are you going to kill yourself or not?"

A group of Western thieves spoke impatiently and their words were full of vulgarities.

As a result, Lang Tingzuo lost all face and became disgraced.

"General, your subordinates are too uneducated!" he said angrily.

"Hmph! Lang Tingzuo, if you want to be dignified, I will give you a decent chance. What else do you want, you big traitor!"

Feng Tianyu sneered and said: "Come here, Governor Lang. Master Lang wants to be a loyal minister of the Tatars, but he is afraid of death and dare not show his dignity. So let's help him show his dignity."

"What the boss said is that there are so many traitors who really need to be decent."

Several forward soldiers came to Lang Tingzuo jokingly, then picked up the sword and forced it back into Lang Tingzuo's hand.     “What are you going to do!”

Lang Tingzuo struggled wildly and lost his mind.

"I told you that I would help you with your dignity, so here we ask Governor Zhu Lang to kill himself in repayment to the Qing Dynasty!"

"Follow your orders!" Several forward soldiers laughed loudly and tried to help Lang Tingzuo commit suicide to save his dignity.

Looking at the sword that was about to cut his neck, Lang Tingzuo was horrified.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

He shouted crazily that under the threat of death, the Qing Dynasty, the Emperor, and the kindness of knowing him were all forgotten by the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

"Master." Several forward soldiers looked at each other.

This Lang Tingzuo was the governor of Liangjiang. Such a big fish couldn't be killed just like that.

"What are you waiting for? Get started quickly. Lang Tingzuo wants to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. How can we go against his original intention?"

Feng Tianyu smiled jokingly and asked his soldiers to help Lang Tingzuo commit suicide.

Sun Guozhu had already issued an order to the generals of each town. All the people in such a fat position as the Governor of Liangjiang must be eradicated.

Otherwise, if they surrender, where will Lord Sun go to confiscate his house?

This house confiscation was destined, otherwise we couldn't have conquered the city of Nanjing and still had to pay for it from Lord Sun, right?

Since Lang Tingzuo and others are going to have their homes confiscated, this person cannot stay.

Otherwise, they, who are not loyal enough, may have their property confiscated and cause trouble secretly.

A forward general pressed hard, and Lang Tingzuo's sword slowly came towards his neck.

"I surrender! I surrender!" He shouted in despair, struggling with all his strength.

Suddenly there was a smell. His pants suddenly became wet.

"The old traitor peed his pants! Hahaha!" A group of Western thieves laughed again.

The Qianfengzhen soldiers who were eager to help others suddenly exerted their strength.

A stream of blood spattered out, and Lang Tingzuo committed suicide in the governor's office.

"Guard the passageways of the Governor's Yamen, no one can enter without permission!"

Feng Tianyu shouted loudly and left some troops to guard the governor's office of Liangjiang.

The gold, silver and jewelry in this place are the key orders of Sun Guozhu, so the rhythm must not be messed up.

Otherwise, during the robbery, Lord Sun would be very happy.

Qianfeng Town quickly moved forward after occupying the Governor's Yamen. At the same time, other towns also entered the city one after another.

Important places in the city gradually fell into the hands of the Western Army.

Although hundreds of thousands of people entered Nanjing, overall the situation was preventable and controllable.

The Western Army had strict military discipline and high organization. Although there were some riots, they did not cause much damage to the entire city of Nanjing.

Important places were also well guarded, and there would definitely be no shortage of seizures falling into the hands of Lord Sun.

Compared with the Ming army, the biggest difference between the Jiaqian Army and the Eight Banners Army was the organization problem.

The Eight Banners soldiers were able to penetrate deep into the pass six times, looting while fighting, and brought a large number of supplies and people to Huang Taiji.

Thanks to the advantage of organization, most of the wealth in Nanjing can be used by Sun Kewang.

But the Ming army's level of organization is not enough.

When the Qing army entered the pass, Chongzhen defeated Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou and planned to mobilize an army of 150,000 to fight the Qing army for a decisive battle.

This shaker raised 150,000 yuan, but in fact only two people, Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong, came.

Among them, He Renlong's troops mutinied, and only Cao Bianjiao's four thousand troops could be used.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were deprived of food and pay as soon as they entered, and then robbed them all the way, grabbing the scattered troops and disappearing to nowhere.

Only a few troops still have a certain degree of discipline and organization, and can maintain their organization all the way to North China through robbery.

If the Ming army entered Nanjing, it would naturally be a mess.

But when the former army entered Nanjing, Sun Guozhu didn't have to worry about capture at all.

Although the phenomenon of petty theft and personal enrichment cannot be completely eliminated, under military discipline and organization, the former army can take up to 30% privately, and the remaining 70% belongs to Sun Guozhu.

As late night fell, most areas of Nanjing City completely fell into the clutches of Sun Guozhu.

There is only one last place left - Mancheng!

Still under the control of the Qing army.

In the darkness, Kakamu fled into the city in panic with hundreds of soldiers and horses.

Among them, in the city of Nanjing, the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jiangning had already been given away by the official loyalists in Zhenjiang, and the remaining people were only a mere 140 people.

Fortunately, two Eight Banners reinforcements were sent from the city of Hangzhou, one of which was the 500 Han Eight Banners who led Yatali.

One is the 500 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners in Daya Dali.

These two Eight Banners soldiers suffered losses after the last battle, and lost a lot of troops in defending the city.

At this moment, there are more than 30,000 Eight Banner family members in the city, only protected by more than 600 Eight Banner soldiers!

"Master, retreat! Hurry out of Zhengyangmen now, maybe you can still fight your way out."

Deputy Commander Turma said hurriedly: "If it's too late, the Nikans will seal the whole city at dawn, and we will die without a burial place!"

Hearing this, Kakamu sighed: "But if we leave the city late at night, more than 30,000 old and weak people will probably die if they lose the protection of the city!"

The Eight Banners generals all frowned upon hearing this.

How can these hundreds of Eight Banners protect more than 30,000 family members to break out of the siege!

I'm afraid they won't be able to protect themselves even after leaving Nanjing.

"Master, it is better to die at least seven out of ten than to die in Jiangning." Turma gritted his teeth and said: "Now Thief Sun's army of hundreds of thousands has entered Nanjing. With the current situation, the entire Jiangnan will probably fall into his hands. "

"If we hold on to Manchu City, no reinforcements will come at all. Let's not talk about whether these more than 600 Eight Banners soldiers can hold on. Even if God bless the Qing Dynasty and God bless us Manchus, we can hold Manchu City."

"When the time comes and the food in the city is exhausted, we will die without a burial place!"

Kakamu gritted his teeth when he heard this. Turma was right.

Once you choose to stick to the city, I'm afraid no reinforcements will come at all.

Defending the city without reinforcements is just a defense.

Besides, how can a mere six hundred Eight Banners soldiers hold on to such a huge city!

"Master, let's go to Hangzhou!" Yatali said quickly when he saw this.

Many Eight Banners generals spoke one after another and asked to flee to Hangzhou. Almost all of them were Hangzhou Eight Banners.

Kakamu looked at the city of Nanjing where there were many soldiers and horses in the past, and couldn't help but sigh.

The rated number of Eight Banners soldiers in Nanjing is 4,000. Later, due to the important location of Nanjing, 4,000 Eight Banners soldiers may not be safe.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty has been sending more soldiers and horses to garrison, and the number of soldiers and horses has reached 7,000.

Luck Dehun once led 7,000 Eight Banners troops to garrison Nanjing, and was able to organize 5,000 Eight Banners to rescue Jingzhou during the Battle of Jingzhou.

For more than ten years, Nanjing has been filled with about 7,000 soldiers and horses.

It's a pity that Zhao Butai of the Seven Thousand Eight Banners took 3,000 people to Yunnan and Guizhou, and 4,000 people were lost in Zhenjiang.

The once powerful city of Nanjing has now become like this, how can he not sigh? How could he not be moved?

"Master, withdraw. If you don't withdraw, it will be too late!"

A large number of Eight Banners generals continued to speak out and advocated the complete withdrawal from Hangzhou.

They are all generals of the Eight Banners of Hangzhou.

Since they are all the Eight Banners of Hangzhou, what are you waiting for now? Run back to Hangzhou quickly!

Even if all the more than 30,000 Manchus in Nanjing died, it had nothing to do with these hundreds of Hangzhou Eight Banners. Their families were still in Hangzhou!

"Okay! Inform the tribesmen to evacuate immediately, and get out as much as you can!"

Kakamu gave an order, and more than 30,000 Manchus in the city cried for their fathers and mothers, and started running towards Zhengyang Gate with their old and young supported. (End of chapter)
