Yan Dianshi Biography [Qing] Shao translated Yan Dianshi, whose real name is Ying Yuan, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. The fourth ancestor, a captain of Jinyi, is from Tongzhou and Beizhili. Yuan Qi, official ambassador of Cang Jing. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, he moved to Jiangyin County to establish a history. At the beginning, hundreds of pirates crossed the river, and Zhang Zhi took advantage of the tide to enter the mainland, leaving the city thin, but the county magistrate photographed the towns next to him, and the books were chosen in a hurry, and both men and women fled. Ying Yuan came out with a knife, jumped on the horse and shouted at the market: "Good man, killed the thief from me and saved the family!" " "At that time, there were thousands of followers, but they were miserable and unarmed. Ying Yuan rushed to the bamboo line and shouted, "It's urgent. It's worth taking it from me. "Thousands of people lie on the banks of the river, if spears stand in large numbers, if scholars stop the wall. Ying Yuan rushed back and forth, shot an arrow and killed a thief. The thief killed three people in a row and set sail with anger. The governor heard that Qin Yidu was in charge of patrolling the county commandant and got a yellow cover, so he took care of it before leaving. This is not a story. People in the city are proud of it. For a long time, he only moved to the main book in Yingde County, Guangdong Province, and Chen took the place of captain. Ying Yuan's mother died, the country will change, and the family will live in Dongsha Mountain in Yidong. It's May.

At that time, it will be two years since the fixed dynasty changed to the Yuan dynasty. Wang Dajun crossed the river, Jinling fell, and both the monarch and the minister left. Emperor Hong Guang asked to be imprisoned. Paibaylor and his generals, a brief collection of southeast counties. The bodyguard officer either drops or walks, or stays behind closed doors, and attacks and pulls it out; Fast people make mistakes, but it's only ten days later. From Jingkou to the south, there are hundreds of famous cities and counties in January. Jiangyin went to town with a bullet and stayed there for more than 80 days. Gai Yingyuan had many plans.

At the beginning, under the command of shaving hair, people who promised to use virtue hung Ming Taizu's imperial capacity in Minglun Hall at the beginning of June, leading the people to worship and cry. Scholars and moths gather ten thousand people and want to offer a new captain, Chen, as the commander of the main city. Xuan Ming said: "I am not as smart and brave as Yan Jun. I need Yan Jun to participate in this important activity." It's a night ride to greet Yingying Garden. Ying Yuan, desperate, led forty men and rushed into the city at night. At that time, there were less than a thousand soldiers in the city, and the number of households was reduced to 10 thousand. Yuan zhi, expected to rule the building, making people take the city and have a meal. That's right, it's the gunpowder armory building made by Zeng Hualong, the former garrison road. He advised Jushi to lose, saying, "You don't need gold to lose, but it's for people with millet, rice, silk, cloth and other things." Guo Zi donated 25,000 gold to Cheng Bishou. A collection of donors. So there were 300 poppies, lead pills, iron stones, hundreds of cannons, thousands of birds, thousands of money, millet, wheat, beans and mangoku in the besieged city. He called it wine, rice, salt, iron, straw and rice. Now, we guard the city separately: Wu Lv guards the east gate, the general guards the south gate, Chen guards the west gate, Ying Yuan guards the north gate, and is still patrolling the four gates. As soon as the deployment was decided, the periphery was closed.

At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of battalions at the gates. Surrounded by dozens of heavy objects, they drew bows and shot back, injuring the people in the city. Moreover, the guns and crossbows in the city competed with each other, and the army killed many people. A big shelling city is being driven away, and the wall is cracked. At Yuan's request, the door panels were wrapped with iron leaves and protected with iron bars. Take an empty coffin and block the rotten place with earth. Then attack the north city and wear it in the north city. It is a big stone to be transported, and a solid base will be built in the city, which will be completed overnight. There are few arrows in the city, and the moon should be dark. The beam is a man, and the man is a man, standing in the ground.

However, the army stopped three miles from the city, and the handsome Liu Liangzuo rode to the door and shouted, "Yan Jun and I are friends. For my sake, we want to meet." Yingyuan builds a city with language. Therefore, Liu Liangzuo, one of the four towns in Hong Guang, was named Long Wave, and the generals of this dynasty also surrendered. The remote language should be Yuan: "I have gone, and there is no owner in Jiangnan. If you surrender early, you can be rich. " Ying Yuan said, "A certain Ming has learned a lot of history, but he still knows the great righteousness. The general's land is divided into Mao, which is an important town in the country. He can't protect Jianghuai, but he is the forerunner of the enemy. How can he meet the righteous in our city? " Yoshisuke is ashamed to flinch.

Wei Yuan's torso is dark with a slight moustache. Yan Yi was strict in nature, and ordered people to be clear and white. Those who broke the law would be flogged, and they should not be careless. However, if you are the light of wealth, you will get nothing. The injured man's hand was injured, the coffin of the dead man was broken, and he cried; When you talk to a strong man, you will call him "good brother" instead of calling him by his first name. Chen is generous and vomits. Every time he goes to town, he follows the foot soldiers, either working hard or crying. Therefore, both of them won the hearts of scholars and died happily.

First of all, Baylor unified the army to the Soviet Union and Song Zhe, even to break the big county, and attacked by the division. With two generals tied to their faces, they knelt at the gate and said, "Come down, cry and make friends." . Ying Yuan scolded: "The defeated soldier is going to be killed by a bird, which is ridiculous!" He also issued an order: "Cut one person in each of the four doors, that is, evacuate the periphery." Ying Yuan snapped, "I'd rather behead my head than kill the people!" Go away. Mid-autumn festival, give money to the military and civilians to enjoy the moon, distribute Cao equipment, and go to the city to drink; Xu Yong, on the other hand, wrote the five tones of Yuefu with virtue, which made those who were good at it sing, and the music corresponded with the sound of Jia, which was made in three nights.

Baylor knew that the city had no intention of surrendering, and the more he attacked, the more urgent he became; The stairs are killing me, the armor is all wrought iron, and the knives and axes are all here. The voice is loud and clear, and the front mouth is lacking. The sound of guns continued day and night, and hundreds of miles inland shook. Death and injury in the city accumulate over a long period, and there are endless cries in the lane. Ying Yuan is generous and poised. On a rainy day, it rained heavily. At noon, a ray of red light came from the earth bridge and pointed to the west of the city. The Russian city fell, and troops swarmed in from smoke, fog and rain. Ying Yuan led hundreds of people to die, eight people were fighting in the street, and thousands were killed. Close the door again, and it won't close. It should be inevitable to jump into the lake ahead, and the water hasn't reached the top yet. And Liu Liangzuo ordered the army to be born in Yuan, so he tied it. Liang Zuoji was standing in the Buddhist Temple in Gan Ming. When he saw Yuan Zhi, he jumped up and cried. Yingyuan smiled and said, "Why are you crying? At this point, there is a dead ear. " See baylor, stand firm and unyielding A soldier stabbed Ying Yuan with a gun, and his tibia was broken to the ground. At dusk, I came to qixia temple. The monks in the courtyard heard this at night and shouted, "Hurry up!" No talking. Suddenly became silent. Ying-won died.

8 1 day, 240,000 people were besieged by the army, 67,000 people died, and 7,000 people died in street fighting. Surprisingly, 75,000 people were killed. The dead people in the city, no matter 50 thousand or 60 thousand, are everywhere and all over the street, but none of them have fallen.

When the city was broken, Chen Ming chose to fight on horseback and was killed in front of the garrison road. He was badly hurt and stood still against the wall with a knife. Or: close the door and throw it into the fire.

The Preface to Shangshu says: "After a week, people will be moved to yin and stubborn." Later theorists say that Zhou is stubborn and honest. The husband barks at the dog, the neighbor is a bitch, and each is his own master. When I was a child, I was bombarded to tell the history of Yan Dian, but I couldn't remember it. In the last 50 years, I saw from my friend's house what Huang did to stick to the isolated city, and it spread because of it. Her husband should be the master, which consolidated the history of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was established, Zhuo Zhuo is like this! Alas, what a feeling!

Yan Dianshi, whose name should be nothing, is Hengli, whose ancestors were from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Grandpa Gao, a captain of Jinyi, just moved to Tongzhou, North Zhili, and became a Tongzhou native. Yan Yingyuan started his career as a government official and served as an ambassador to China. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (164 1), he was transferred to Jiangyin County as a historian. When I first arrived, I met robbers on the river driving hundreds of boats and flags and invading the mainland at high tide, and they were about to approach Jiangyin County. It happened that every county magistrate went to other counties to represent politics. Xiancheng and the main book are timid, indecisive and helpless, and the residents are fleeing everywhere. Yan Yingyuan came out with a sword and an arrow, galloped down the street on horseback, and shouted, "This is a hero's. Come with me to kill robbers and defend your loved ones! " Soon, thousands of people gathered around. But suffering from no weapons. Yan Yingyuan flew to the bamboo line and shouted, "The situation is very urgent. Let's borrow a bamboo first, and then I'll pay for it! " This 1000 people lined up on the river bank, holding bamboo poles like knives and guns and leaning against people like long walls. Yan Yingyuan shot a flying horse back and forth, shot an arrow, killed a robber and killed three people in a row. The robber's arrogance was crushed, and he pulled the sail and ran away. The governor wrote a document about the thieves who returned to the river. In the name of the emperor, he asked Yan Yingyuan to take the title of Dusi and be in charge of the functions and powers of the county commandant. When you go out, you can take a bus with a yellow cover banner, guide the soldiers to clear the way, and then go there. This is an unconventional treatment, and the locals are proud of it. After a long time, he was promoted to the main book of Yingde County, Guangdong Province according to his qualifications, and Chen took over his position as county magistrate. Because of her mother's illness, Yan Yingyuan couldn't go to her new job. When the country changed, she lived with her family in Shashan, east of Jiangyin. It was May of the year of B-You (1645).

At that time, the Qing dynasty had seized the Ming regime and changed its name to the following year. Yu Wang's army crossed the river, Jinling surrendered, and Nanming monarch and his subjects fled. Soon, Zhu Yousong and Hong Guang were captured. King Yu sent Baylor and other generals to capture the southeast counties respectively. Some defenders in Nanming surrendered and some fled. Some closed the city gates and gathered people to resist, but it was also broken. The day was fast and the slow was only 10 days. From the area south of Jingkou, hundreds of famous cities and counties were captured in one month. Jiangyin, a remote town, held on for more than 80 days before it was captured, mainly relying on Yan Yingyuan's strategy.

At first, the Qing army issued a haircut order. On the first day of June, Zhu Sheng Xu Yongde hung the portrait of Ming Taizu in Minglun Hall and led people to bow down and cry. Confucian scholars swarmed in, numbering as many as 10,000 people, intending to support the new county commandant Chen to preside over the county defense. Chen said, "My wisdom and courage are not as good as Yan Jun's. This is a big event, and Yan Jun must come. " So pegasus came to welcome Yan Yingyuan overnight. After Yan Yingyuan left, he immediately led 40 people who took charge and flew into the city overnight. At that time, there were less than 1000 soldiers and only 10000 residents in the city, and the salary had not yet been settled. After Yan Yingyuan entered the city, he arranged military documents and books, built Yugoslav capital fortifications, and ordered one person in each family to guard the city, while the rest sent meals to the army. Then take out the gunpowder and firearms made by Zeng Hualong, and store them on the tower. Later, the rich people were mobilized to donate money, and the order said, "Donations are not necessarily money. Donate food and cloth as you wish. " Guo Zi Bi Cheng took the lead in donating 25,000 gold. Donors swarmed in. So there are 300 cans of gunpowder, 1000 tablets of lead pills and iron, 100 cannons, 1000 bird machines, 1000 million dollars, 1 000 tablets of rice, wheat and beans, and alcohol, salt, iron and. So, he ordered to send someone to guard the key points of the city defense: Wu Lu guarded the north gate; Leave the general manager at the south gate; Chen Zhenshou West Gate; Yan Yingyuan guards the north gate and is responsible for checking the four gates. Just when the layout was ready, the encirclement of the Qing army outside the city was closed.

At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of Qing troops approaching the gate, and hundreds of camps have been set up, surrounded by dozens of floors. The Qing army drew a bow and fired at the city, injuring many city guards. The guns and crossbows in the city were shot down from high altitude, and many Qing troops were killed. The Qing army bombarded the city wall with artillery, and the low wall on the city was blown apart. Yan Yingyuan ordered the door panel to be wrapped with iron leaves, put on a big iron rope to block the gap, and then put it in an empty coffin, and blocked it in the collapsed place with mud. The Qing army attacked the northern city again, and the northern city was breached. Yan Yingyuan ordered everyone to move a big stone and rebuild a solid wall in the city, which was completed overnight. When there was a shortage of arrows in the city, Yan Yingyuan used the moonless night to tie a straw into a human shape. Every scarecrow hangs a lamp on his bamboo pole, which stands between the female walls and surrounds the city. Let the soldiers crouch behind the low wall of the city, beating drums and shouting, pretending to go down to the city to sneak attack. The Qing army was terrified, and intensive arrows rained down on the city. At dawn, I got countless arrows. He also sent strong men to sneak into the Qing army camp at night and set fire to it. The Qing army was in chaos, trampling on each other and killing each other, causing countless casualties.

The Qing army retreated and stopped to camp three miles from the city. Liu Liangzuo, the commander of the siege, came to the gate surrounded by cavalry and shouted to the defenders on the city, "Yan Jun and I are old friends. Tell Yan Jun I want to see him. " Yan Yingyuan stood on the city and talked to him. Liu Liangzuo, one of the four towns in Hong Guang, was named Square Wave and surrendered to the general staff of the Qing Dynasty. He said to Yan Yingyuan from a distance, "Emperor Hong Guang has escaped, and there is no monarch in Jiangnan. If you surrender as soon as possible, you can ensure prosperity. " Yan Yingyuan replied, "I only know a little about classical history, but I can also understand its important principles. General, as a national town, you can't defend Jianghuai, but you are willing to be the pawn of the enemy. How do you face people who understand the righteousness in our city? " Liu Liangzuo turned away in shame.

Yan Yingyuan is a tall man with a dark face and a little beard. Strict and resolute personality, strict orders and revolutionaries. For those who break the law, we should use the criminal law of whipping our ears and never be soft. However, he is generous with money and rewards. Dress the wound for the injured personally, prepare a beautiful coffin for the dead, and sprinkle wine on the ground and cry. When talking to a strong person, you must call him a "good brother" instead of calling him by his first name. Chen is generous and cheerful. Every time he goes to town, he comforts his men and sees their hard work, sometimes even tears. Therefore, both of them can win the hearts and minds of the people, and the foot soldiers are willing to die in return.

Prior to this, Baylor, who led troops to attack the city in Suzhou and Songjiang, even broke the big county. At this time, he also reinforced the Qing army with his own army. Baylor tied two soldiers behind his back and made them kneel at the gate to persuade them to surrender. While persuading, the two officers wept bitterly with tears all over their faces. Yan Yingyuan scolded, "The defeated guy was captured by the enemy and died soon. Why are you still making trouble? " Baylor also sent someone to announce: "As long as we kill one person who started the trouble first at each of the four gates, we will lift the siege." Yan Yingyuan replied loudly: "I'd rather behead, why kill ordinary people!" Tell the messenger to get out of here. At that time, it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Yan Yingyuan paid the soldiers and civilians to enjoy the moon. The soldiers and civilians took tableware to the rostrum to drink separately. Xu Yongde wrote a five-turn tune, and asked people who are good at singing to sing a long tune. The song was interwoven with the sound of fighting and blowing, and it lasted for three nights before it ended.

Baylor city has no intention to surrender, and the siege is more urgent. The armor of the death squads who use ladders and two thumbs up is made of wrought iron. Does the knife sting when it touches the axe? Sound, the mouth in front is missing. Gunfire kept on day and night, and Fiona Fang was a hundred miles away, and the earth shook. The casualties in the city are increasing day by day, and crying can be heard everywhere in the street. Yan Yingyuan climbed the tower in high spirits and behaved as usual. Early in the morning, it began to rain cats and dogs. At noon, a ray of red light rose from the direction of Tuqiao and headed for the west of the city. Soon, the city wall collapsed and the Qing army rushed in in the rain from the fog of fireworks. Yan Yingyuan led hundreds of death squads, attacked everywhere, and carried out eight street battles. Thousands of Qing soldiers met with them were killed or injured. If you want to seize the city gate again, you can't rush out if the city gate is closed. Yan Yingyuan thought he couldn't be spared, so he jumped into Qianhu Lake, but the lake was too shallow to cover his head, so he couldn't kill himself. Liu Liangzuo ordered the Qing army to capture Yan Yingyuan alive, so he was finally captured. Liu Liangzuo sat proudly on the Gan Ming Buddhist Temple, his hands stretched out on his knees. When he saw Yan Yingyuan being taken away, he immediately jumped up from the table and hugged him and cried. Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "What's there to cry about? When things come to this, there is only one death. " When Yan Yingyuan saw Baylor, he stood up and refused to bend over. A soldier from A Qing pierced Yan Yingyuan's calf with a pike. The pike broke and Yan Yingyuan fell to the ground. At dusk, Yan Yingyuan was escorted to qixia temple by a group of Qing soldiers. At night, the monks in the yard kept hearing high shouts: "Kill me!" " "Never stopped talking. Later, I couldn't hear. It turns out that Yan Yingyuan has died.

The two sides fought fiercely in Jiangyin City for 81 days. 240,000 Qing troops besieged the city, 67,000 died in battle, 7,000 died in street fighting, and * * * had more than 75,000 foot soldiers. About 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in the city, and bodies were piled all over the street, but no one really surrendered to the Qing army.

When the city was broken, Chen jumped off his horse and fought with a spear, and was killed in front of the garrison road yamen. He was injured in many places, still holding the knife in his hand, and stood motionless against the wall without falling down. There is also a legend that the Chen family committed suicide by throwing fire collectively.

My experience is that "Preface to the History of Toz" says that "the Duke of Zhou built the Zhou Dynasty and moved the stubborn people here." However, people who talked about this matter in later generations thought that they were stubborn people for the Zhou Dynasty and upright people for the Yin Dynasty. Dogs that steal feet will bite when they see a saint like Yao, and women in the neighborhood will scold men who molest her. Of course, they each safeguard the interests of their respective owners. When I was a child, I heard people talk about the history of Yan Dian, and I was amazed. I can't remember it clearly. After a lapse of 50 years, I saw an article written by Huang at a friend's house about Jiangyin's military and civilians guarding the lonely city, and I wrote this biography from it. Yan Yingyuan, a nobody, is just a classic Ming history, but his meritorious tree festival is so extraordinary. Ah, how touching!
