August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.
Three cannons rang out in the Dajiao field, and the Qing army of the three roads went out of the city to kill and go to Xiangshan.
After dawn, the town of Maning was in ruins, and last night's fire had largely burned the town to rubble, and the air was filled with either choking smoke or a disgusting smell of blood.
As far as the eye could see, charred corpses were everywhere.
There was not a single common person on the street, only a group of Qing soldiers running around hurriedly with swords, and from time to time you could see Qing soldiers on horseback whistling by.
"There's still a living, there's still a living" "Drag this southern barbarian out" A young man with nowhere to escape, lying in the ruins and pretending to be dead, was spotted by the Manchu soldiers, who dragged him out of the rubble, then took out the guillotine used to cut the young man in half, and then watched the poor Han man laugh wantonly.
Not far from them, two soldiers of the Green Battalion found an old woman of Han Chinese in a house that had not yet collapsed.
This old woman has weak legs and feet, and she has not been able to flee with her relatives, she thought that she was just an old man in her last years, and the Qing soldiers would not do anything to her when they came, but what made her frightened was that the Qing soldiers still dragged her out by the hair, "Spare your life" The old woman cried out for mercy, one of the battalion soldiers hesitated, and the other continued to pull the old woman by the hair and dragged her to the Manchurian soldiers.
"Master, the little one has caught a Diao Min" the battalion soldier sneered.
"Well done" The Manchurian soldier led by him raised his foot and kicked the upper half of the young Han man's body to the side, laughed and grabbed the hair of the Han old woman, who was so thin that she was only skinny and bone-like, he lifted it up with a light lift, and then fell viciously to the ground.
With a "plop", the old woman was slammed to the ground, letting out a miserable wail.
In her screams and fear, the Manchurian soldier suddenly stepped on her right leg, then drew his saber and slashed at the old woman's ankle.
"No" The old woman screamed "Ahh The pain of the severed ankle made the old woman scream in a heart-rending manner, and the Manchurian soldiers ignored the old woman's fright, put her little foot on the tip of the knife, and laughed loudly at his men in Manchu.
The battalion in charge of searching the live mouth found dozens of Han Chinese who had not had time to escape, including the elderly, children, and women.
They did not heed the advice of the Taiping army to join the evacuation team, they thought that they were all obedient people, and the Qing soldiers would not kill them, because the Qing soldiers also wanted people to farm for them and work for them.
But now, they regret it.
The Qing soldiers pulled them out one by one, and pointed their swords and guns at them.
"Master Jun, we are obedient to the people, we are obedient to the people, we are obedient to the people" An old man kept begging for mercy.
"Please, let us go, we are not in the same group as the thieves, we are loyal to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, we are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, you can't kill us, we can't, we are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, loyal to the Qing Dynasty."
The old man's plea had no effect, and a Manchurian leader on horseback scolded the officer leading the battalion impatiently as he passed by, and the officer hurriedly waved his hand.
"Chopped" At the sound of an order, dozens of heads fell.
By the Tan River, wind and rain.
Thousands of old and weak women and children were huddled together on the river beach, the wind and rain were so great that their clothes were already soaked, and the river wind blew their bodies with cold bones.
They hugged each other, and under them, there were immature faces.
"Mother, I'm hungry."
The children's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger, but the mothers had nothing to eat, so they could only coax them incessantly.
The older children knew the difficulties of adults, and they did not ask their mothers for food, but they repeatedly asked a question that their mothers could not answer.
"Mother, when will we get on the boat?"
The mother looked up at the wind-swept river, sighed softly, and hugged the child tighter.
"Soon, soon, we'll be on board when the rain stops."
"Lord Song, the wind is too strong, and the boat on the opposite side can't pass" He Bao, the head of the Longyan Township Office, led people to find Song Xianggong, who was in charge of the evacuation operation.
"Wait" Song Xianggong only gritted his teeth and said one word, his body was already soaked, and the rain hit his felt hat "crackling".
He Bao said worriedly: "Adult, we can wait, but women and children can't bear it, the rain is too big, there is no way to make a fire to eat, adults can still hold it, I'm afraid the children can't stand it."
"You go and ask the security team to find some dry food to pad the child first, and wait until the boat comes."
Song Xianggong sighed, he couldn't help this ghost weather, the wind and waves on the river were too big, and the sailor on the opposite side couldn't brave the strong wind, so he could only wait until the wind stopped, otherwise the danger was too great.
