Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

After Geluhun finished speaking, the expressions on every face were full of a sense of powerlessness.

In the face of the general trend of the world, personal wishes are really irrelevant!
But soon, everyone was mentally prepared!
They just waited for a moment to break the cup in the big tent as a signal, and then they rushed in to kill.

……

In the big tent, there was a lively atmosphere among the people drinking and drinking.

Although the fight is already in full swing outside Jiangning City, it does not prevent a grand banquet in Jiangning City.

The suffering at the bottom and the wealth and glory at the top are never the same.

Zuo Guoliang sat in the top position and raised his glass to invite him to drink.

"Brothers, being able to come to the banquet today is a great honor to Zuo. Zuo will definitely remember it in his heart."

"I will serve this first glass of wine to everyone!"

After saying this, he raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

The clear wine entered his throat, and a blush flashed across Zuo Guoliang's face.

Seeing this, everyone started to praise him.

"Lieutenant Zuo is a good drinker!"

"They all say that Lieutenant General Zuo is a heroic man. Now that I see it, it turns out to be true!"

"Drink together, drink together!"

"..."

I saw that everyone had finished drinking the wine in their glasses.

Zuo Guoliang put down the wine glass in his hand and started talking about business.

"Today Zuo wants to invite everyone to a banquet. It's not just for the banquet, but because he wants to bring everyone together to discuss a way out."

"Nowadays, Jiangning City is besieged by the Ming Dynasty's heavy troops. Although our Qing Dynasty soldiers have deployed layers of defenses, the battle situation is getting worse and worse."

As soon as Zuo Guoliang said this, the expressions on everyone's faces were obviously different.

As their eyes crossed, many people frowned.

They felt that something was wrong with Zuo Guoliang's words. Did Zuo Guoliang want to surrender to the thieves?
However, given Zuo Guoliang's past prestige, no one dared to speak rashly. They could only continue to listen to what Zuo Guoliang wanted to express.

Seeing this, Zuo Guoliang also continued to say.

"Everyone must have heard of the rules of the Ming Dynasty. If you resist the city for one day, [-]% of the defenders will be killed. If you resist for two days, [-]% of the defenders will be killed. If you resist for more than three days, [-]% of the defenders will be killed. Trap them all."

"Now, although Jiang Ning is in a critical situation, it cannot be defeated in one day. At least it can last for several days."

"But this exceeds the surrender time limit set by the Ming Dynasty."

"Once Jiangning City is destroyed, all of us will be trapped and killed."

"That's why the Japanese general called everyone here today just to plan a way to survive with everyone!"

As soon as Zuo Guoliang said this, even the most stupid person knew what he wanted to do.

This banquet is probably a Hongmen Banquet.

A short, stocky man stood up and spoke.

"Zuo Guoliang, are you going to surrender to the thieves?"

"Is it possible that by doing this you will be worthy of the favor of the Qing Dynasty?"

The man glared at Zuo Guoliang, his eyes seeming to be burning with blazing anger.

His name is Ruining, a member of the Eight Banners of Jiangning. He now serves as a staff general under Zuo Guoliang and is responsible for monitoring Zuo Guoliang.

After knowing that Zuo Guoliang was planning to surrender to the thieves, Ruining felt furious in his heart and felt betrayed.

Those Han people were able to surrender to save their lives when the battle was not going well, but they, the bannermen, did not even have a chance to surrender.

In this way, even if it was to gain support, Ruining would not allow Zuo Guoliang to surrender.

As soon as Ruining said this, 30 people stood up in the tent one after another.

Most of the banner generals stood up and, together with Ruining, glared at Zuo Guoliang.

But there were also some Han generals who didn't know what they were thinking, so they also stood up and confronted Zuo Guoliang.

Zuo Guoliang glanced around and spoke calmly.

"Don't be anxious!"

"You might as well listen to me first!"

Hearing this, Ruining snorted coldly.

"Zuo Guoliang, if you want to betray the Qing Dynasty and surrender to the Ming thieves, we and the loyal people in the court will definitely not allow it. What else can you say?!"

Zuo Guoliang was not angry when he heard this, and ignored Ruining's scolding. Instead, he glanced around at the bannermen in the tent, and then spoke directly.

"I have already sent someone to contact Daming. His Highness the Crown Prince of Daming made Zuo a promise."

"If you bannermen have made meritorious deeds in presenting the city, Ming Dynasty will also be lenient to you and deal with you leniently."

As soon as Zuo Guoliang said this, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed.

Especially those banner men who stood up, the original determination on their faces suddenly wavered.

The reason why these bannermen chose to fight against the Ming Dynasty to the end is because they are from the Eight Banners nation and are naturally aligned with the Qing Dynasty.

On the other hand, it was because the Ming Dynasty was a little too harsh on bannermen like them.

So much so that they were forced to go to the dark side with the Qing Dynasty!
However, now things have taken a turn for the better.

The Ming Dynasty was actually prepared to be lenient to their bannermen, and the price was that they would betray the Qing Dynasty and help the traitor Zuo Guoliang sacrifice Jiangning City.

Many banner people are inevitably moved by this...

Because Jiang Ning is really undefendable!
Zuo Guoliang obviously saw the changing expressions of the people around him, smiled, and said.

"How is it? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"If not, just sit down!"

Eyes looked at each other, and soon, several of the bannermen who had just stood up and glared at Zuo Guoliang sat down.

Obviously, they have made their choice.

Zuo Guoliang glanced around and said.

"Where are the rest of you? Have you all made your decision?" When Zuo Guoliang said this, he held a wine glass in his hand, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and half of his face was exposed by the candlelight. , seems uncertain.

Outside the big tent, there are figures of people, and the cold light reflected by the swords and axes is extremely captivating.

Ruining glanced around and looked at the figures outside the tent. His expression changed for a while, but in the end he gritted his teeth and sat back in his seat.

Somewhat ashamed, he covered his face with his sleeves and said nothing.

Obviously, after knowing that surrendering would save his life, Ruining was not willing to die for the Qing Dynasty.

After Ruining took the lead and sat down, more and more people sat down.

After a while, only a dozen or so people were left standing in the big tent.

Among the more than ten people, there are both Bannermen and Han people.

There are many bannermen who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty to save their lives.

Naturally, there is no shortage of Han people who are "loyal, righteous, courageous" and want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

But what is extremely ironic is that among those who want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, there are actually more Han people than banner people.

The dozen or so people pointed at Zuo Guoliang's nose and cursed.

"Zuo Guoliang, you betrayed the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming thieves. This is really unfaithful and unjust. You will die a good death sooner or later!"

"The Qing Dynasty will definitely make you, a traitor, pay the price."

"Zuo Guoliang, I cnmlgb, you beast, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

"..."

Seeing this, Zuo Guoliang's expression became uncertain.

But in the end, he made up his mind and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

With a bang, the wine glass shattered.

The next moment, a famous swordsman and axe-hand, holding a sharp blade, swarmed in from outside the tent and captured all the dozen or so people who still wanted to resist.

Seeing this, Zuo Guoliang stood up from his seat, walked to the more than ten people, and said with a cold expression.

"Don't blame us, we just want to survive!"

When Geluhun heard this, he raised his knife and was about to chop one of them on the neck.

However, he was stopped by Zuo Guoliang.

Zuo Guoliang took the knife from Geluhun's hand, threw it to Ruining aside, and said.

"Come on, Lord Ruining, stop sitting and hand in your petition!"

The meaning was very clear, Ruining was going to kill this person.

Seeing this, Ruining had a tangled expression on his face.

Zuo Guoliang said coldly.

"Ruining, don't hesitate when you shouldn't hesitate."

"If you can't make a contribution in dedicating the city, then why should Ming be lenient to you?"

"Give you and your family a way to survive?"

Hearing this, Ruining seemed to have made up his mind, picked up the knife thrown on the ground, and strode over.

Gritting his teeth, he picked up the knife and slashed.

There was a pop, blood sprayed out, and a human head fell to the ground.

A Han who wanted to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty died at the hands of the bannermen who wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and survive.

After Ruining finished the chop, he couldn't help but show an expression of relief on his face, and slowly exhaled a breath.

A very forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zuo Guoliang motioned to the rest of the people in the account and asked them to come forward and submit their names.

No one dared to refuse.

Not long after, blood flowed all over the floor in the big tent, and the smell of blood was astounding.

Zuo Guoliang narrowed his eyes and said.

"Everyone, now that the certificate of surrender has been handed in, we can no longer hesitate."

"The arrow is on the string and has to be fired!"

"Let's go prepare ourselves. When it gets dark tomorrow, we'll be ready to launch and dedicate the city anyway!"

“I’ll spend the rest of my life, wealth, fortune, and fortune here.”

……

Outside Nanjing!

The night was already deep, but Zhu Jing'an had not rested yet.

He stood in front of the sand table, studying Fang Shan's battle situation intently.

Now, less than half of the Qing army's camp on Fangshan Mountain has been captured by the Ming army.

But even so, the remaining remnants of the Qing army still resisted fiercely.

Especially those Eight Banners soldiers among them, their fighting will is quite tenacious.

If the Ming army wants to capture the entire Fangshan Mountain, they will probably have to use their hands and feet to do so!
"Pour me a cup of strong tea!"

Zhu Jing'an felt a little sleepy and opened his mouth to give instructions.

After a while, the attendant beside him poured a cup of strong tea.

Zhu Jing'an picked up the strong tea and took a sip. The strong tea in his mouth lifted his spirits.

Rubbing his eyebrows, he continued to deduce Fang Shan's battle situation.

After a while, Zhu Jing'an let out a heavy breath.

He finally saw that the Qing army's will to fight was extremely tenacious. There was no trickery in the battle of Fangshan, and they could only go head-on to attack the Qing army's camp on Fangshan.

The battle is not easy to fight, but it must be fought!

Fortunately, the morale of the Ming army is now high, and the last thing they are afraid of is that someone will confront them head-on. (End of chapter)
