In 645 (the first year of Hong Guang in Nanming Dynasty), Jiangyin fell, and Fang Heng, the Qing magistrate, succeeded to the throne, and issued a tonsure order as usual. On June 28th of the lunar calendar, citizens petitioned to keep their hair and clothes. Fang Heng swore. The people were furious and scolded: "As a scholar in China, wearing a gauze hat and a round neck, is it shameless to be a Tatar county magistrate?" Fang Heng was ashamed and stopped the discussion. After that, Fang Heng called 100 students, squires and people to the Confucian Temple. They asked, "Now that Jiangyin has completely surrendered, should it be all right?" Fang Heng said: "There is only a haircut left." They asked, "Don't you shave your head?" Fang Heng said, "This is the law of the Great Qing Dynasty, which cannot be violated." Then I went back to my office. Students, Xu Yong and others couldn't get together and vowed in Mingluntang: "You can break your head and never shave your head! As a China man, how can I lose my virginity? ! "At this moment, 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, Qing Cha was beheaded, and Chen Mingyu was promoted to the head. Under the banner of "Daming Zhongxing", Jiangyin Yimin officially opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored it. After the news of Jiangyin People's Uprising spread, Changzhou Governor Zong Hao sent 300 troops to suppress it, and Jiangyin Yimin annihilated it at the foot of the King of Qin. Under the leadership of Chen Mingyu, the soldiers and civilians in Jiangyin repeatedly beat back the attack of the small Qing army.
On June 2 1 day, Bellepolo of Tatar Qing ordered Liu Liangzuo, a traitor slave, to surround Jiangyin City with heavy troops. On 24th, Liu Liangzuo surrendered and shot him 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 was heavily defended, and soldiers rained down arrows. City people can get 300,000 to 400,000 arrows every day with a pot cover in one hand and an arrow in the other. The situation in Jiangyin is getting more and more serious. Although Chen Mingyu was loyal to the liver and courageous, he felt that he lacked the ability of military organization, so he thought of Yan Yingyuan, a former official with both wisdom and courage. 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 youths from Zhutang, Jiangyin City, to enter the city with weapons. After entering the city, Yan Yingyuan immediately investigated the city's registered permanent residence, Ding Zhuang, young and old, and selected strong men to form a militia, each with ten battlements, and changed 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. Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, we will soon make full use of our talents and materials, and our work in all aspects will be carried out in an orderly manner.
On the 11th, Qing Kou attacked the north gate guarded by Yan Yingyuan, and arrows rained down in the city, so Qing Kou 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, and the generals were killed and injured four times. Some were shot with three arrows, some were cut off, some were disabled, 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, Qing Kou 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. Qing Kouqi came to rob the body, and the city was full of gongs and drums, and small arrows of bricks and stones rained down. Qingkou also suffered more than a thousand casualties.
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. Qingkou took her head back, sewed it with her body and mourned 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. Therefore, although there are many clear mouths, 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 siege in Qing dynasty was unfavorable, so he began to consider surrender. Liu Liangzuo wrote "Folk Songs", hoping Jiangyin would surrender, but Yan Yingyuan wouldn't listen. So Qingkou built a cowhide tent at the gate to prepare for a long-term battle. 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 dynasty was defeated by the enemy and wanted to retreat. Liang Zuo ordered the party 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 in Qingkou, and the meat rotted to death. The Qing bandits who were not burned to death scattered in panic, and the fleeing Qing bandits were shot with crossbows in the city. Those who caught the hook curled their heads into the city. Qingkou was at a loss and fled in succession. 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, Yan Yingyuan took advantage of the surrender of Qingkou to send 100 warriors with lighters into Qingkou camp in the name of "giving gifts", killing more than 2,000 people. 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, a classical history of China, knows the great sense of justice and will never serve the Tatars. 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!" Tatar, 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 traitor lackeys Kong Youde (who was surrounded by Li Dingguo troops in Guilin many years later, fearing suicide) to "lead the troops to attack", and then sent Baylor Polo and Baylor Ni Kan (killed by General Li Dingguo many years later) to lead Manchu soldiers to attack the city with red cannons. After Belleboro pacified Songjiang, he led 200,000 troops to Jiangyin at the gates. The thief climbed up the mountain first and took a look. After patrolling the Jiangyin city defense, the opponent said, "This city is also boat-shaped. 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, the thief's first leader, saw that Yan Yingyuan could not move, he launched a general attack. He divided his troops and wiped out the reinforcements in the towns first, loaded bamboo cages with guns, and advocated welcoming the front. The machine gunner was injured in red and broke the city on 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 miserable. They are despised by the people in Jiangyin. Those who shave their heads and surrender will be scolded by the city. Even if father and son meet, brothers meet as 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, Dourgen, the second toast of the Qing Dynasty, advised him to woo him, and Boluo ordered someone to shoot an arrow 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 persuaded to surrender, and some people in the city began to hesitate. However, due to Yan Yingyuan's insistence on the North Gate, the public's will 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. " 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.
