In the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Jiangyin fell, and Lin Zhiji, the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, was unsealed and resigned. Fang Heng, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, succeeded to the throne and issued a haircut order as usual. On June 28th of the lunar calendar, He Mao, Xing Chan, Zhou Shun, Ji Xing, Yang Fang, Xue Yong, Yang Qi, Ji Mao, Xin Rong and others proposed to keep their hair. Fang Heng swore. Everyone was furious and scolded, "You're a scholar from China, wearing a gauze hat and a round neck, to be the magistrate of Tatar. Aren't you ashamed? " Fang Heng was ashamed and stopped the discussion.
In the early morning of the first day of June, Fang Heng called more than 100 local students, squires and ordinary people to the Confucian Temple in the name of Shang Xiang. They asked, "Now that Jiangyin has completely surrendered, should it be all right?" Fang Heng said, "All that's left is a haircut. Those four soldiers were sent here just now because they shaved their heads. " They asked, "May I shave my head?" Fang Heng said, "This is the law of the Great Qing Dynasty, which cannot be violated." Then I went back to my office. Student Xu Yong and others couldn't get together, so they swore together in Mingluntang: "You can break your head and never shave your head!" Just then, the Changzhou government sent a document, which strictly ordered a haircut, including the words "leave your hair without hair, leave your hair without hair". Fang Heng asked the scribe to write the official document as a notice and post it. When the scribe wrote this sentence, he was filled with indignation and threw his pen on the ground and said, "Let's go to hell!" " The news soon spread all over the city and immediately. When Fang Heng saw that the sergeant didn't listen, he secretly reported to Changzhou House and asked his boss to send troops to "kill Shu Wei more". This secret letter was discovered by Yimin, so the next day, Fang Heng was arrested and the Qing Dynasty was beheaded. Chen Mingyu, a leading figure in Canon History, claimed that Yimin in Jiangyin officially opposed the Qing Dynasty under the banner of "Daming Zhongxing".
After the news of Jiangyin people's resistance to the Qing Dynasty spread, Zong Hao, the magistrate of Changzhou in the Qing Dynasty, sent 300 troops to suppress it, and was annihilated by Jiangyin Yimin at the foot of Qinwang Mountain on the fifth day of June. Later, under the leadership of Chen Mingyu, Jiangyin soldiers and civilians repeatedly repelled the attack of the small Qing army. At the same time, strictly investigate the spies in the city, and announce that there are people who can report and capture spies, and reward 50 taels of silver. Fang Heng, the former county magistrate who raped the Manchu Dynasty, and several spies who sold information and tried to defect to the enemy were executed, effectively curbing the internal collapse of Jiangyin.
On June 2 1 day, General Qing Baylor and General Boluo ordered Liu Liangzuo to surround Jiangyin City heavily. On 24th, Liu Liangzuo made a piece of paper and shot it outside Dongcheng. After discussion between Jiangyin military and civilian, the reply was rejected. Seeing that the surrender was invalid, Liu Liangzuo pursued the volunteers outside the city in an attempt to cut off the foreign aid of the soldiers and civilians in the city. On the first day of July, the siege began. The city is heavily guarded, and the soldiers are raining down. City people can get three or four hundred arrows a day (one is three or four hundred thousand) with the pot cover in one hand and the arrows in the other.
The situation in Jiangyin is getting more and more serious. Although Chen Mingyu is loyal to the liver and courageous, he feels that he lacks the ability of military organization. So he thought of Yan Yingyuan, a former official with both wisdom and courage, and wanted to recommend him to guard the city instead of himself. Because of Gu's garrison, his determination was correct and he left. In the battle of guarding the city on July 5th, Bi Yuan went into the city to shoot the enemy, and his arrow often fell to the ground without hitting the enemy. Everyone is suspicious. Later, he ordered the horse dwarf to steal gunpowder and throw it at the enemy from the city. They caught Gu, searched his residence together, and found a document to liquidate the soldiers. So he executed forty of his associates, thus cutting off the internal forces of the Qing army. Originally, I wanted to let the person in charge of guarding the city, but now Gu was punished. He mentioned the past and everyone agreed. Chen Mingyu specially appointed 16 people to leave the city overnight and invited him out of the mountain at Yan Yingyuan's residence. Yingyuan said, "You can follow me. Otherwise I won't host it for you. " They asked, "Do you dare to do as you are told?"
On the 9th, Yan Yingyuan led 600 teenagers from Zhutang, Jiangyin City to enter the city with weapons. Passing through Qili Temple, he wrote poems on the wall to express his determination to fight to the death. After entering the city, Yan Yingyuan immediately investigated Dingzhuang, a registered permanent residence in the city, suitable for all ages, and selected able-bodied men to form a militia, and joined more than 200,000 township soldiers to enter the city in shifts, with 10 people in each crib and shifts on time. Wu Ju Wang kept the east gate slightly, Wang Ba kept the south gate, Chen Ming kept the west gate, and Ying Yuan kept the north gate. He and Chen Mingyu also patrol the four gates day and night. Strictly check passers-by in the city and eliminate the mole. In order to solve the supply of ordnance, Yan Yingyuan, after consulting with the gentry and the people, appointed people who were good at financial management to be responsible for the unified collection and distribution of public and private materials in the city. Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, we soon made the best use of our talents, and all aspects of our work were done in an orderly way.
1 1 day, the Qing soldiers attacked the north gate guarded by Yan Yingyuan, and the city was submerged by stones, so the Qing soldiers dared not approach. Liu Liangzuo, the head coach, was furious and ordered nine generals to get the ladder to the city first. The city was stabbed to death by a pike, five generals were killed and four were injured. Some were shot with three arrows, some were cut off, some fell into a row, and some were burned to death by rockets. The commander-in-chief is even more angry. He ordered the selection of some brave soldiers in the 10 battalion, with 30,000 infantry and 10 ladders. They will go ten miles into the city in the future, and they will be cut down immediately if they return. The next day, the Qing soldiers still attacked the north gate, shooting and shouting outside the city. Thirty thousand troops built ten pontoons, crossed the outer city river together, and climbed the ladder into the city in ten places. Yan Yingyuan directed the city to throw stones and stones, and refused the enemy with pike; At that time, rocks were flying, artillery fire continued, and both sides suffered numerous deaths and injuries. A Manchu general is brave and self-reliant. Dressed in three layers of armor, with two knives hanging from his waist and two knives on his back, he climbed the ladder himself, boarded the battlements and hacked with knives. The defenders in the city resisted with coffins and stabbed to death, but they couldn't get in. Someone shouted, "stab him in the face." So everyone stabbed him in the face. A boy named Tang grabbed his throat with an iron hook and sickle. Yao Er, a bamboo craftsman, cut off his head and fell into the city. The Qing soldiers came together to rob the corpse, and the drums and gongs were loud in the city, and small arrows of bricks and stones rained down, killing more than a thousand Qing soldiers.
Liu Liangzuo ordered the sergeant to remove the general's head, but Yan Yingyuan refused. Liu Liangzuo was willing to buy it with money, and ordered it to be put in a silver sheath face to face and hung in the city. He also ordered the sergeant to wail at the gate: "Give back my general's head!" Yan Yingyuan had a yellow dog's head wrapped in a cattail bag and thrown back, and hung Manjiang's head on the city. Liu Liangzuo personally led people begging at the gate, and lowered his head. The Qing soldiers brought back their heads, sewed them up and hung them for three days. Yan Yingyuan repelled the attack from the northern cities, but he knew that the Qing army would launch a larger attack in a few days. So he actively forged guarding city tools, recruited more than a thousand people such as Huang Minggang, the king of Qingyang crossbows, and entered the city to build thousands of small crossbows and tens of thousands of small arrows, which were distributed to guarding city soldiers. He also shot people with Ji Congxiao's gunpowder, and died at the sight of blood. The crossbow is more than a foot long and the arrow is five inches long. It can hit the target from a hundred paces away. He also released Chen Rui's son from prison to make bricks and spears. Firebricks are three or four inches wide and burn when they touch people. It is made of wood, with a silver sheath, three feet five inches long and two or three inches wide, with gunpowder in the middle. When the enemy arrives, it will drop, the organ will break the wooden shell, the iron water chestnut will fly out, and it will die if it touches people. Yan Yingyuan also personally made a crossbow, made some hooks on the side with a piece of iron, tied a cotton rope at the back, threw it out to hook the enemy and cut it nearby. And imitate the old system, making fireballs, rockets, etc., all of which are exquisite and wonderful. So although there are many Qing soldiers, every time I look at the city, I sigh and tremble. Even the soldiers in Manchuria were frightened and celebrated their survival every time they attacked the city.
The Qing army attacked the city and began to consider surrender. Liu Liangzuo wrote "Folk Songs", hoping Jiangyin would surrender, but Yan Yingyuan wouldn't listen. So the Qing soldiers set up cowhide tents at the gates to prepare for long-term operations. 15, the Qing soldiers attacked the northeast city, Liu Liangzuo ordered the southwest to shoot, dug the city in the northeast, all climbed the city with mountains, and the city resisted with fireballs and rockets. The Qing army was about to retreat, and Liang Zuo ordered it to stop. Yan Yingyuan continued to order the city to throw bricks and stones, but Qing soldiers failed to dodge, and hundreds of people died at the gate. Yoshisuke is ashamed and afraid. So he set up a three-layer cowhide account and defended it without attacking. There are nine beams and eight pillars in the account, and the arrows are thrown on them, all of which bounce up and cannot enter. Yan Yingyuan ordered the excrement of choose and employ persons, mixed with tung oil, fried, cowhide scalded down on the Qing soldiers, and the meat was rotten to death. The Qing soldiers who were not burned to death scattered in panic, and the fleeing Qing soldiers were shot with crossbows on the city. Those who caught the hook curled their heads into the city. The Qing soldiers were at a loss and fled. The enemy camp thought that the defenders in the city had killed them and ordered the launch of wooden spears to defend them, causing numerous casualties. In desperation, he ordered the tomb to be moved to Deng.
At the same time, Jiangyin asked for help in all directions. Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui led the troops to Taihu Lake and met the army of Belle Boluo, a Qing army. After they were defeated and captured, they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The third pockmarked man, Hai Kougu, admired Yan Yingyuan very much. He led his captain to help him. After three days of hard struggle, he failed and set sail. In addition, Yiyang Wang came to help and was defeated by Shashan; The Scholar Gold Mine Association gathered more than 400 brave men to help, and was stopped by Liu Liangzuo with 3,000 fighters in Zhouzhuang, and was completely annihilated. The foreign soldiers were defeated repeatedly, and Jiangyin became an isolated city. Nevertheless, Liu Liangzuo dared not attack the city again. He only used artillery to attack the northern city, and he stayed up all night, and the battlements collapsed under the bombardment of artillery. Yan Yingyuan ordered the masons to build a wall, but the masons refused. Yan Yingyuan's words were sincere and emotional, and the masons were deeply moved, so he risked his life to repair the battlements and make them as strong as ever.
14, taking advantage of the surrender of the Qing army, Yan Yingyuan sent 100 warriors, who entered the camp of the Qing army with lighters in the name of "surrender", killing more than 2,000 officers and men of the Qing army. On the 17th night, Yan Yingyuan selected thousands of brave men to go out of the south gate to rob the camp, or rushed into the enemy camp with axes, knives or poles, injuring more than a thousand people. He said that he had returned to the city with troops to save him. After this war, Liu Liangzuo retreated again and camped in Shifang Temple.
/kloc-On 0/8, Liu Liangzuo made the monks of Shifang Temple kneel down and cried to the whole city. Chen said he was interested and advised Jiangyin soldiers and civilians to surrender as soon as possible. People in the city are willing to die for their country, begging him to go quickly. That night, the monks came to surrender again and were sent away by everyone again. On the 19th, Liu Liangzuo rode to the gate of the camp and said to Yuan, "Hong Guang has gone north, and Jiangnan has declined. If the first step is to turn disaster into happiness, is the title under Liang Zuo? Why bother? " Yan Yingyuan said calmly, "The men and women in Jiangyin have eaten wool for 300 years and practiced soil for 300 years. They owe a lot to the country. They could not bear to watch the wind and surrendered. Ying Yuan is a classic of Ming history, and he knows where the righteousness lies, and he will never work for the second monarch. The general is Hou Bo, who has mastered the heavy troops. If you advance, you can't restore the Central Plains, and if you retreat, you can't protect Jiangzuo. How can he meet my loyal people in Jiangdong? " Liang Zuo was ashamed. He took out a summons from the Qing court and urged Jiangyin people to accept the invitation. Ying Yuan said angrily, "There are generals who have fallen, but there is no history of falling." Bang, the rocket was launched, and Liang Zuo sighed across three or four horses: "Jiangyin people are hopeless!"
The prince of the Qing Dynasty was very angry when he heard that Jiangyin could not be captured for a long time. He first sent Prince Gong Kong Youde to "lead the troops to attack", and then sent Baylor Polo and Baylor Ni Kan to lead Manchu soldiers to attack the city with red cannons. After Belle Boluo pacified Songjiang, he led 200,000 troops to Jiangyin at the gates. He thought that Liu Liangzuo was an earl of the Ming Dynasty, armed to the teeth, but even a Jiangyin county could not be captured, so he was incompetent and gave him a board. He climbed the mountain and looked at it. After patrolling the Jiangyin city defense, the opponent said, "This city is also boat-shaped, starting in the south and ending in the north. The north and south are attacked and cannot be broken. But if you attack it, you will break it. " He ordered Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui to be tied at the city gate and ordered them to surrender in writing. Huang Fei said, "I don't know anyone in the city. What's the use of writing a book and surrendering? " Wu Zhifu, with tears in his eyes, raised his head to persuade Yan Yingyuan to surrender, feeling sad and sad. Ying Yuan scolded: "I'm bound and dead long ago, so why not talk about it!" Sunflower cried again, and she was speechless.
When Boluo saw that Yan Yingyuan could not move, he launched a general attack, divided his troops to cut off the reinforcements of the towns first, packed bamboo cages with guns, and advocated meeting the front. The machine gunner was injured in red and the city was broken for three days. From 20th to 27th, the Qing army took turns to attack the city, and Yan Yingyuan commanded the defense and fought bloody battles, finally guarding Jiangyin City.
At the beginning of August, Jiangyin militia stood guard day and night, feeling very tired. People began to surrender outside the city. The Qing soldiers killed and plundered everywhere outside the city, and the people were down and out. They are despised by the people in Jiangyin. Those who shave their heads and surrender will be scolded by the city, even their closest relatives are enemies. Seeing that the Yugoslav capital was heavily guarded, Yan Yingyuan randomly took a hair from the people and threw it at the gate to lure the enemy. Report to Liu Liangzuo the surprise soldiers. Ryosuke said, "I still can't believe it. Go and see if the people guarding the city have shaved their hair? " Only after the Qing soldiers checked did they know that it was a fake surrender.
Boluo couldn't attack for a long time, and he was anxious. He also advised him to surrender, saying that as long as the flag of Daming Zhongxing was removed, only a few people would be killed and the rest would be left alone, even if they didn't shave their heads. Seeing Boluo's plan to slow down the troops, Yan Yingyuan said, "Just me? I am not guilty, why kill me! " Discuss without deciding. Boluo also said that as long as the Qing flag was erected around the four cities, he would immediately withdraw. Yan Yingyuan knew there was fraud, but he shouldn't. The former governor of Wu County went to the river to slaughter cattle and sheep, and swore to the generals that killing and looting were absolutely forbidden after Jiangyin surrendered. He believed it and was well-known in Jiangyin. He volunteered to persuade him to surrender, but when he approached the city, no one answered. After that, Regent Dourgen advised him to woo, and Boluo ordered people to shoot arrows into the city, saying that he was dead. Why defend yourself? Yan Yingyuan ordered someone to add a sentence at the back of the book: "Better be shot than executed!" Shoot it back to the Qing soldiers. The Qing court repeatedly advised him to surrender, and some people in the three cities began to hesitate. However, due to Yan Yingyuan's adherence to the North Gate, the consensus was rejected.
Being trapped in Jiangyin for a long time, the casualties are heavy, and the combat effectiveness is declining. Because of the lack of lime in the city, it is impossible to repair the city at night. Rice is getting less and less, so we can only rely on collecting folk rice to prevent shortage. Yan Yingyuan ordered rice to be collected every two days, and it is not allowed to be collected in advance. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, people boarded the tower with pots and drank glasses. The students were allowed to imitate Chu's songs, and wrote "Song of the Five Rings", so that people who are good at singing could climb to the top of the mountain and sing in harmony with flutes and drums. At that time, there was no fiber in the sky, the bright moon was in the sky, the wild fields were clear, the halberds were silent, and the yellow crossbows, drums and huqin were in the watchtower of Xicheng, and their songs were tragic and resounding. The Qing soldiers scrambled to listen. Or curse, or lament, cry very much. The song sings: "Yixing people, a gun. People in Wuxi smell sweet. Jingjiang people, hurriedly knelt on the beach. Changzhou people gave their daughters and mothers. The people of Jiangyin have been fighting for more than 80 days and would rather die than surrender. " There are many songs, but the meaning is roughly the same. Liu Liangzuo answered blows with blows, ordered people to give a surrender speech, let the foot soldiers sing together, and drank wine with his staff in his tent. Soon, the city's guns and arrows were fired and scattered.
On 2 1 day, Boluo ordered hundreds of people to move all more than 200 cannons to Huajiaba, aiming at the northeast city. The iron son entered the city and penetrated the cave gate 13 times. The tree also passed through several times and landed several feet deep. It rained very hard that day, so it was dangerous to use cowhide tents for external use. Because of the enemy's heavy artillery, the city hid behind the fence when it saw the fire. After the gunfire, climb the tower again. Seeing this, the Qing soldiers deliberately let the guns empty, so that the guns only let out wolf smoke, which covered the sky and made it difficult to distinguish. The city guard only heard the sound of guns thundering, thinking that the Qing soldiers could not advance quickly, but he didn't know that the Qing soldiers had sneaked into Hecheng River and swarmed out of the smoke, so it was too late to defend themselves and be in flight. Jiangyin was finally captured. When the Qing soldiers entered the city, a group of militia lined up to attack the city. The Qing soldiers were afraid of an ambush and dared not attack for a long time. At dusk, the city was crowded with people and the militia dispersed, so the Qing soldiers dared to enter the city.
When the city was broken, Yan Yingyuan sat on the watchtower in Dongcheng and wanted a pen. He mentioned at the city gate: "On the 80 th, in memory of the ancestors of the 17 th Dynasty, 100,000 people died with one heart and stayed in Daming for 300 miles." At the end of the topic, I took 1000 people to the war and killed countless Qing soldiers. I want to break through the west gate. He looked around at his followers and said, "Thank the people for me. I have served my country! " Pull yourself out of the short knife, stab yourself in the chest and bleed, and throw it into Qianhu Lake. Liu Yimin was trying to pull him out of the water, just as Liu Liangzuo sent troops to escape. Liang Zuo claimed to have an old friendship with Yan Yingyuan and wanted to take him alive, so the Qing soldiers arrested him and tied him up without killing him. Liang Zuoju sat in the hall of the Ming Buddha. When he saw Yingyuan coming, he jumped up, patted Yingyuan on the back and cried. Yingyuan said, "What's there to cry about? Water under the bridge. Kill me quickly! " Boluo sat in the county magistrate's office, anxious to get Ying Yuan to the class. Yan Yingyuan stood firm and unyielding, with his back to Baylor, and kept cursing. A soldier stabbed him in the leg with a gun, and Yan Yingyuan fell to the ground bleeding profusely. Boluo ordered him to be locked up in qixia temple. That night, the monks in the temple kept hearing the sound of "killing me". At dawn, they were finally killed.
After Yan Yingyuan's death, more than ten people were killed because they didn't fall, and Liu Zhengxian was martyred together. Chen Mingyu, a courtier, ordered the closure of the county government and set fire to 43 men and women. He fought a bloody battle with the Qing soldiers with a knife and was seriously injured. He leaned against the wall and stood motionless when he died. Discipline Feng Houdun hanged himself in Mingluntang, and his wife and sister died by throwing themselves into the well. Qi Xun and Zhu Sheng in Xu Zhongshu used their families to set themselves on fire and died. On August 22, the Qing soldiers began to slaughter the city. The people either fought tenaciously to the end or died peacefully, and they died first by luck, and no one obeyed. Two days after the Qing army slaughtered the city, there were only 53 people left in the city.
According to jiangyin guarding Hou Ji, Yan Yingyuan has a plump trunk, erect eyebrows, slender eyes, red face and a beard. Every time I patrol the city, there is a man with a broadsword around me, which is quite a sense of rebirth. When Qing soldiers saw it, they thought it was a god. Yan Yingyuan's orders are serious. Those who lead a quiet life and disobey the law will be severely punished to warn everyone, even the squire and strongman. When a soldier is in trouble, he will personally boil medicine and pour wine and comfort him with warm words; Someone was killed, he bought a coffin himself and cried to death; When you meet the fighters of the death squads, you don't call them brothers by their first names. When you meet an important task, you must ask everyone: "Who can finish this, brother?" Someone shouted on the road: "I want to kill the enemy, but there is no short knife." Yan Yingyuan immediately took off his short knife worth twenty or thirty gold and put it on. Yan Yingyuan sets an example in everything and treats others sincerely. Therefore, all the scholars and people feared virtue and prestige, and died without regret.
