Chapter 145: The Last Day of Shengjing
The last round of sunrise in Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty looked extremely gorgeous, full of a cruel beauty that heralded destruction.

It is said that until many, many years later, those old people who survived in Shengjing City can still clearly remember the appearance of the morning glow on this day - colorfully covering the entire eastern sky, exuding fire like blood dazzling brilliance.

In the past year, the new Qing Dynasty was so full of vigor, as if it was always moving from one glorious victory to another even more glorious victory.Beijing in the Ming Dynasty has become the new capital of the Qing Dynasty, and large tracts of land in Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shandong have been acquired one after another. Even in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the city of Luoyang, where the emperors of the Han Dynasty lived, also raised the air of the Qing Dynasty. The banner of the Jurchen Eight Banners... One after another, more and more explosive good news deeply stimulated all the members of the Jurchen Eight Banners.For a moment, an infinitely bright future seemed to beckoning to them not far away.

In this short year, the new Great Khan Huang Taiji created a great achievement far surpassing the old Khan Nurhachi, and laid down a territory in Shanhaiguan that was wider than the homeland of Liaodong. It can be seen that my Qing Dynasty is really where the destiny lies. The eternal foundation of Jurchen Eight Banners is just around the corner!
However, when most of the residents in Shengjing City were still lying in bed, the few citizens who got up early and went out were stunned to see the various gates of the Shengjing Palace. , were pushed away from the inside one after another, and groups of soldiers in strange costumes, holding firecrackers with bayonets attached, or wielding broadswords and battle axes, swept along the street in all directions like a tide!

Faced with such an unimaginable scene, none of the passers-by at first thought it was an enemy attack. One of them, dressed as a petty official, stepped forward to stop an officer holding a command knife in doubt, and was about to ask a few questions, but he suddenly felt the pain on his neck. As soon as it was cold, a sharp pain suddenly hit the heart and lungs!

The little banner official opened his mouth wide in disbelief, then touched his neck subconsciously, and was surprised to see his blood spurt out, splashing all over the ground, as if he lost everything all at once. strength.He struggled to yell a few times, but he couldn't even utter a sound, and then he was kicked hard by someone, and his lifeless body finally fell over.

At the same time, several other passers-by who had no time to dodge were also thrown down by this strange group of soldiers with their knives, and instantly fell to the street and died.Hot, dirty blood was scattered all over the ground, and the headless corpse was trampled under the feet of the soldiers, and then turned into a puddle of mud.The banner people in Shengjing City looked at these swarming soldiers in disbelief, and felt a little stupid for a moment—who on earth are they?How could it be hidden in the palace?Why do you want to kill people indiscriminately?
The next moment, the slogans shouted by these soldiers gave them an incredible answer:

"...Kill all the Tartars! Avenge your father and fellow countrymen!"

"...Kill, kill, kill! Never let a Tartar go!"

"... Massacre the city! Massacre the city! Not a single Tartar man will be left behind!"

"... Tartars! Your retribution is coming!"

……

Accompanied by these murderous slogans in Chinese, the soldiers rushing to the front ran faster and faster, their eyes were red like ghosts, and when they encountered any pedestrians blocking the way, regardless of men, women, young or old, they stabbed them with bayonets without even looking at them. .If you encounter those who dare to resist, you will attack them in groups.

Taking the Shengjing Palace as the starting point, the torrent of destruction rolled along several main streets in Shengjing City, divided into several small teams, and went to several core points in the city to kill them, without encountering any organized crime along the way resistance.When the vanguard arrived in front of the residence of Daishan in Dabeile in Shengjing, a certain concierge, who was confused about his own situation, dared to reprimand "stop coming" and asked them to hand over door bags and name cards!
As a matter of course, the concierge, who had no brains, was smashed into a sieve by random guns in the next moment.

Next, before the Ghoshha guards inside reacted and rushed out to resist, the attacking troops had already thrown dozens of grenades over the courtyard wall into the Daishan mansion, which immediately shook the whole mansion. Howling ghosts and howling wolves... Next, these [-]th-century Liaodong Han civilian soldiers who had undergone modern street fighting training carefully did not rashly raid the gate, which was likely to be heavily fortified by the enemy. The various gaps in the mansion flooded into the mansion, thus completely disintegrating the last resistance of the Daishan mansion.

After another half-a-quarter of an hour, Da Bei Le Dai Shan, who had just been woken up from the quilt and had not had time to get dressed, let a few soldiers escort him out from the backyard excitedly, and prepared to sacrifice him as an important prisoner. Commander, meritorious service.The traveler officer standing outside the mansion waiting for the news saw this, frowned and leaned over to take a look, and found that the old man had been beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and his face was ashen and terrified, and his lower body was wet with a piece of orange-yellow liquid. He smelled a strange smell from afar, lost most of his interest immediately, waved his hand and said, "...What's the use of keeping this old thing? Cut it off!"

Two soldiers immediately held Daishan's neck, pulled out their sabers, and chopped off his head on the spot, causing blood to spurt wildly, and the braided man's head was dripping with dirty blood on the ground There was a flurry of rolling, and it was instantly dyed a bright red.

——Stay behind in Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty, Da Bei Le Dai Shan, died!
At the same time, various government offices in Shengjing City also fell under sudden blows one after another. With the momentum, more than 1 soldiers were invested on the Shengjing battlefield, but the results proved that the enemies in Shengjing are not that difficult at the moment.In this year when the Eight Banners soldiers entered the customs and swept the Central Plains, the troops that Huang Taiji used to stay behind in Shengjing, the old capital, were basically old, weak, sick and disabled, so they were naturally defeated in battle.

Relatively speaking, the fiercest battles in the city took place in the private mansions of a few Eight Banners nobles who did not move to Beijing.Even in the face of such a sudden doomsday, those personal servants with high martial arts skills still protected their masters and fought desperately to the last moment.

However, their dying struggle did not last long.As mansions with high walls and courtyards were blasted away by grenades, batches of fighters who claimed to be highly skilled in martial arts were overturned by bullets. Before noon, Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty announced a change of owner—no matter how strong it was Many ancient cities can only deal with enemies from outside the city, but cannot withstand this "central flowering" tactic of directly destroying the command center.

Even though the Jurchen Eight Banners Group was highly militarized at this time, people ranging from 60 to [-]-year-old, children as young as eleven or twelve, and even many healthy Jurchen women could ride strong horses and wield swords.But in the face of such a lightning-like sudden attack, there was no time to mobilize and convene, and those leaders and officials were killed before they could issue any orders. No matter how fierce and aggressive the low-level people are, in a real war What's the use?
As an ancient Greek philosopher said, a pile of building materials is not equal to a house, just as a mob is not equal to an army!

Not to mention, the offensive and defensive sides in the battle of Shengjing still had a crushing generation difference in weapons and tactics that had been separated for several generations!
In fact, it was not until noon of the day, when the head of the contemporary Shanda Baylor had been hung on the city gate, that most of the Jurchen residents in Shengjing City had a preliminary understanding of their situation: their Jurchen The Shengjing city of the Eight Banners has been captured by a Han army!

This unbelievable discovery made all the Jurchens stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to be shocked or angry, and even felt that everything in front of them was too absurd and unbelievable, so that they fell into a state of sluggishness.

After the shock, they went to two extremes. Naturally, some people were furious, looking for weapons at hand, ready to go out and fight the enemy desperately.Others started looking for poison and ropes, wanting to seize the time to commit suicide, and would rather die than be raped by the Han Nikan.

——These Jurchens knew very well how many murders they committed when they attacked Liaodong.In the past, they used to be proud of this, but until now, they understood what kind of mood those Han Nikan who were harmed by the Eight Banners cavalry in the past felt before the city was broken. Under Nurhachi's series of massacre orders, they were killed by the Jurchen Eight Banners and there were only less than one million left, and all the Han people who survived became slaves, and there were basically no free people.As for the young men who were plundered from the Central Plains, all of them also had feuds against the Jurchens. Now that they have the opportunity to counterattack and reckon, how can they hold back?
When they thought that the city of Shengjing had been destroyed, their family and children would be ravaged, and their fate might be worse than death, their hearts were filled with endless sadness and despair.However, no matter what choices these bannermen make, the fate of death and destruction will also befall them...
