Duan Feihu could only choose two paths at this time, one was to surrender, but to continue to resist.Without ammunition, food and grass, at most, it will hold on for another half a day.Before he could make a decision, the soldiers had already given him the answer.After the Boxers rushed into a distance of 100 meters, the soldiers had all stopped firing and refused to shout "We surrender, we surrender" Duan Feihu knew that the Boxers would definitely not spare him, so when he was given a chance, he ordered to continue firing.At that moment, all thoughts were lost, and he drew his knife and wiped it off his neck.The key to the combat effectiveness of an army lies not in its weapons, but in whether the army has faith or not, and whether it dares to persist in this belief until the last moment.It's a pity that there is no Protector Army, and most of the soldiers in the army, that is, the exiles in the north, were recruited by Rong Lu to eat after entering the army.And the main thing is that they were Han Chinese, after the Manchu emperor had already withdrawn from the capital.In the face of the attack of the Han armed forces, they worked hard here for the Manchu emperor, and there was indeed some fratricidal meaning, and there was no need for them to choose to be loyal to the Manchu emperor."
The division commander committed suicide" "The division commander is dead" The news of Duan Feihu's suicide soon spread throughout the other three city gates, and after the Daqing Gate was captured, the defenders on Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'an Gates also surrendered one after another.After two days of fighting, there were nearly 9,000 soldiers and horses of a division of the Protector Army, and only more than 3,000 were killed.These more than 9,000 people were incorporated into the Seven Evil Army and the Mighty Tiger Army, and the two armies temporarily blocked all the gates of the Forbidden City, prohibiting any part of the soldiers from entering the palace and looting madly.The other miscellaneous armed forces were furious, thinking that Wang Yinlin crossed the river and demolished the bridge to swallow the treasures of the Forbidden City.But after all, they also knew the combat effectiveness of these two armies, obediently obeyed the order, and did not dare to clash head-on.Wang Yinlin once again issued a notice to the people, strictly prohibiting all soldiers in the city from wantonly looting and killing people, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.Now that the Boxers have gradually changed from rogues to rulers, they will have to get out of Beijing in a few days.But what he understands, others may not understand.Many of the leaders of the cottage gangs thought that the Heaven and Earth Society wanted to monopolize power, exclude dissidents, and monopolize wealth.On the day of the issuance of the notice, he adopted a non-cooperative attitude and continued to go his own way.Hundreds of rapes and plunders took place in a single day.Wang Yinlin was furious and determined to rectify military discipline.Let the Tiger Army patrol the streets, and arrest all the soldiers who committed the crime and behead them.The soldiers and horses from all walks of life immediately rioted, and at that moment, a gang of thousands of people resisted, and rushed into Prince Gong's mansion with everyone, wanting to discuss an explanation with Wang Yinlin.As soon as these men walked to the door with large swords and spears in hand, they were surrounded by the Tiger Legion."
Chen Xiong, take your brother back, the elder has an order, if anyone dares to take another step, he will be killed" Geng Biao, the commander of the Weihu Army, stood at the front with a foreign spear in his hand, and roared at Chen Xiong, the leader of that team.They were originally bandits in Yimeng Mountain, but after the Boxers moved to Yimeng Mountain for development, Chen Xiong took his brothers to take refuge in them.Geng Biao and Chen Xiong are also familiar with each other, both of them are fellow villagers in Shandong, and they have drunk together a few times."
Geng Biao, if you are a brother, you will give me a way.Lao Tzu wanted to find the theory of the three old immortals, and they still didn't talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes.Lao Tzu's brothers robbed all the Manchu Tartars, why should they be shot" Chen Xiong's face was full of anger, he couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion for a long time, and continued to lead his men to rush forward, and the two sides were only a hundred meters apart."
I said, you immediately retreat with your subordinates, otherwise, don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood" Geng Biao warned again, stretched out his right hand and let his subordinates pull the bolt of the gun."
Geng Biao, if I retreat today, how can I be the eldest brother of these brothers, you can shoot, let the heroes of the world see, how your heaven and earth will cross the river and tear down the bridge" Chen Xiong was not afraid at all, he walked on the rivers and lakes, relying on a righteous word.Now that his brother has been shot, he is the eldest brother who is desperate to stand up for his brother."
Big brother, what should I do, do you want to shoot" The second Zhang Kui's expression was condensed, and he hurriedly whispered in Geng Biao's ear, and saw that Chen Xiong led someone over.He also felt that it was inappropriate to shoot, after all, Beijing City was taken down with everyone's cooperation.It is too unrighteous to kill each other just after victory."
The elder has an order, those who dare to make trouble will kill without mercy, how can they do great things" Geng Biao scolded, and no longer gave Chen Xiong a chance at the moment, and waved his right hand at the soldiers under him."
Bang, bang, bang" For a while, nearly thousands of bullets burst out from all directions.Chen Xiong was immediately turned into a sieve, and the thousands of brothers behind him were also peeled off by bullets layer by layer, and lay down in a pool of blood wailing.After this incident, no gang dared to make trouble again.In order to appease the coalition forces of various factions in the city, Wang Yinlin also asked people to take out a part of the gold and silver and distribute it to them.At the same time, the date was also set, and it was decided to hold an enthronement ceremony at the autumn equinox, and Zhu Fuming was appointed as the emperor, and the country name of the Ming Dynasty was still used.Moreover, after the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China is held, each meritorious hero should be rewarded according to his merits.In this way, the situation in Beijing was quickly calmed down, and all the leaders were also benefited and promised.Since there are many more rewards after the founding of the People's Republic of China than now, who is willing to risk their lives and not obey the command and make a fortune by looting.After consultation, the upper leaders of the Boxers also began to attack the Manchurians in the inner city.All the Manchus will be reduced to civilians and will no longer enjoy any subsidy.Moreover, the inner city is not allowed to be inhabited, and all the full people must move out of the inner city unconditionally within three days, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law.In the past, officials of the Manchu court would also confiscate all family property, and if anyone resisted, they would be killed.Whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, there is not a good thing in the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Boxers.Their property, of course, was looted by the people, and after the seizure, it was just enough to fill the treasury.Just one day after the decree was issued, an urgent military situation came from outside Beijing.The three elders hurriedly convened the generals of the Tiger Army and the Seven Evil Armies to discuss how to deal with the enemy."
Is the information I showed you just now clear, now Monk Greenqin has gone south with 100,000 iron horsemen, and is now resting in Tongzhou City to the east of the capital.Tongzhou City is the east gate of Beijing, and the Tonghui River is Beijing's grain road.If Tongzhou City is occupied by Seng Lingqin, the city of Beijing will also be opened, and we will also be cut off from food and grass supplies.Now stationed in Tongzhou City are the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Shandong Cao Gang, and the combat effectiveness does not need me to tell you, they are far from being the opponents of Seng Lingqin. ”Wang Yinlin pointed to the map and introduced it to the generals, his face full of seriousness."
What the three of us mean is that either we don't fight, or if we want to fight, we will win a big battle, so as to deter the Manchu Tartars and make them dare not fight the idea of Beijing again.So the three of us decided that each of your two armies would send half of the soldiers and horses to find a way to annihilate Seng Lingqin in Tongzhou County" Meng Laicai then ordered, he was always close to him, with a relaxed look on his face.He was also full of confidence in his musketeers, and it had been proved that the cavalry was completely vulnerable to firearms, but Monk Grinqin stubbornly held on to the cavalry and did not let go."
Monk Lingqin has 100,000 cavalry, are you all confident" Jiang Wanshan also asked with a tight expression, and looked around at the generals under the seat."
Please rest assured, the three elders, we promise to complete the task," Geng Biao, the eldest brother of the Cangzhou Five Tigers, and Hu Liefeng, the eldest brother of the Seven Heroes of Saibei, got up and shouted at the same time."
Okay, okay, then let's discuss the specific policy for the land.The three of us are waiting for you to return triumphantly in Beijing, and when you ascend the throne on the autumn equinox, the emperor will also pay homage to you" Jiang Wanshan nodded, cheering for the three of them, and everyone then discussed specific strategies for dealing with the enemy.After dawn, nearly 30,000 people from the two armies left the city gate and went to Tongzhou City to support.Among them, there are also 9,000 Protector Army, which has just been recruited, and has been disorganized into various teams.Monk Greenqin's original task was to lead the cavalry to make a big noise on the periphery of the capital in advance, with the intention of informing the Protector Army defending the Forbidden City in the capital that the Qing army had fought back, wanting to give them hope to hold on and buy time for the Protector Army led by Rong Lu.However, as soon as he led his troops south to Shunyi County, he saw a large number of Manchu refugees fleeing from the city and fleeing in the direction of the northeast.Only then did Monk Lingqin know that the Boxers had captured the Forbidden City, and the Protector Army raised troops and surrendered.Seng Lingqin was depressed to death, and secretly scolded the Huaxing Army for not being a thing, and let himself waste two days in vain, which caused the Protector Army to surrender.At that moment, the Boxers had to be taught a lesson, and the retaliatory troops swept the county towns on the outskirts of the capital.After many battles, the walls of these counties have long been broken, and there is no danger to defend.Moreover, the people stationed in the county seat were all miscellaneous armed forces of the Boxers, and they were also small sects from all over Jiangbei that defected to the Boxers.Monk Lingqin went all the way south, charging the infantry with cavalry, and without the slightest effort, he even conquered several county towns.Where did these rabble of the Boxers have any combat effectiveness, and within a few days of enjoying the blessings, they encountered the impact of 100,000 cavalry, and they had no will to fight at all, and they scattered and fled without thinking.Monk Lingqin finally regained some confidence in these Boxers, and marched triumphantly all the way until he reached Tongzhou City.Tongzhou City is a city brought by canals, and the Tonghui River only passes through the city, which is also the main grain transportation channel in the capital.The Cao gang stationed in Tongzhou City happened to be the Cao Gang of the Boxer Rebellion, which was originally a job bowl of waterway, and naturally had a good kung fu on the water, with more than 30 large ships of more than 100 tons, and hundreds of small boats.After Monk Greenqin led his troops to attack Tongzhou City, the leader of the Cao Gang took his men on a cargo ship and fought with Monk Greenqin's cavalry in the water.Although the Mongol cavalry was powerful, they could not swim in the river.The Cao Gang was like a dragon in the water, constantly launching sneak attacks on the army of Monk Greenqin.As long as the horse team of Seng Lingqin drank water in the river, the Cao gang would fire arrows intensively on the boat.Monk Greenqin couldn't beat and couldn't fight, chased and couldn't catch up, and was tired of being harassed by the Cao Gang, and he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.In the end, in desperation, he withdrew from Tongzhou City and temporarily rested outside the city.The Cao Gang also sent people to bring the news to the capital for help, so the three elders immediately made a decision, just to take the cavalry of Monk Lingqin to open the knife and teach the Manchu Tartars some lessons
