Yan Yingyuan, whose name is Liheng, was born in Tongzhou, Beizhi, and has been working in Jiangyin for four years. At the beginning of taking office, Hai Kougu led hundreds of warships to invade Huangtian Port, but Ying Yuan led the troops to refuse to defend, sending three arrows in succession, and all of them fell back. Haikou was too frightened to do it again. During his term of office, he put down salt thieves, subdued the people's rebellion, and his political discipline was outstanding. Jiangyin people appreciated his kindness and painted his portrait as a souvenir in social studies. Nanming court wanted to transfer him to Yingde County, Shaozhou, Guangdong Province. Because my mother was seriously ill and the road was blocked, the whole family was scattered at the foot of the sand mountain outside Jiangyin City.

in the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Jiangyin fell to the Qing Dynasty, and Lin Zhiji, the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, removed his seal and left his post. Fang Heng, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, succeeded him, and issued a haircut order as usual. On June 28th of the lunar calendar, He Mao, Xing Chan, Zhou Shun, Xing Ji, Yang Fang, Xue Yong, Yang Qi, Ji Mao, Xin Rong and others proposed to leave their hair. Fang Heng swore. Everyone was furious and scolded, "As a China scholar, wearing a gauze hat and a round neck, you came to be the magistrate of Tatar, don't you know the shame?" Fang Heng was so ashamed that he suspended the discussion.

In the early morning of the first day of the leap June, Fang Heng, in the name of Shangxiang, summoned more than 111 local students, squires and people to the Confucian Temple. They asked, "Now that Jiangyin has completely surrendered, there should be nothing, right?" Fang Heng said, "Only a haircut is left. Just now, the four soldiers were sent because they had their hair shaved. " They asked, "Can I shave my hair?" Fang Heng said, "This is the law of the Qing Dynasty, which cannot be violated." Then I went back to my office. The students Xu Yong and others couldn't get together, so they vowed together in Minglun Hall: "You can break your head and never shave your hair!" Just then, the Changzhou government sent a document that strictly ordered shaving, including the words "leave your head without hair, leave your hair without head". 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 die!" The news soon spread all over the city, and it was immediately buzzing. Fang Heng, seeing that the sergeants were disobedient, secretly reported that Changzhou government asked his boss to send troops to "kill Shuwei more". This secret letter was found by Yimin, so on the second day of the second day, Fang Heng was arrested, and the Qing Dynasty was beheaded. Chen Mingyu, the leader of the canon history, claimed that Jiangyin Yimin officially opposed the Qing Dynasty under the banner of "Daming Zhongxing".

After the news of Jiangyin people's resistance to Qing Dynasty spread, Zonghao, the magistrate of Changzhou in Qing Dynasty, sent 311 troops to suppress it. On the fifth day of June, Jiangyin Yimin annihilated it at the foot of Qin Wang Mountain. Later, under the leadership of Chen Mingyu, Jiangyin soldiers and civilians repeatedly repelled the attacks of small Qing troops. 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 them with fifty taels of silver. Fang Heng, the former county magistrate who committed adultery with the Qing Dynasty, and many spies who sold information and attempted to defect to the enemy were executed, effectively curbing the internal collapse of Jiangyin.

On June 21st, Qing Baylor and General Bolo ordered Liu Liangzuo to surround Jiangyin City with heavy troops. On the 24th, Liu Liangzuo made a letter of surrender and shot in from outside the East City. After the discussion between the army and the people in Jiangyin, the reply was rejected. Seeing that surrender was ineffective, Liu Liangzuo hunted and killed the volunteers outside the city in an attempt to cut off foreign aid from the military and civilians in the city. On the first day of July, the siege began. The city is heavily defended, and the soldiers are showering with arrows. People in the city hold the pot cover in one hand and catch the arrows in the other, and they can get three or four hundred arrows every day (one for three or four hundred thousand).

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 military organizational skills. So he thinks of Yan Yingyuan, a former courtier with both wisdom and courage, and wants to recommend him to lead the guarding city instead of himself. However, Gu Yuanbi, a garrison, resolutely made the right decision, but failed. In the battle of guarding the city on July 5, Yuan Bi went to the city to shoot the enemy, and the arrow he released often fell to the ground without hitting the enemy. Everyone was suspicious. Later, he ordered the horse dwarf to steal gunpowder and throw it at the enemy from the city. They caught Gu Yuanbi and searched his residence together, and found a document of clearing soldiers. So he executed Gu Yuanbi and forty of his accomplices, thus cutting off the internal forces of the Qing army. Chen Mingyu originally wanted to ask Yan Yingyuan to take charge of guarding the city, but now Gu Yuanbi has been punished. He has brought up the past and everyone agrees. Chen Mingyu specially appointed sixteen people to leave the city overnight and invited him out of the mountain at Yan Yingyuan's residence. Ying Yuan 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 611 teenagers from Zhutang, Jiangyin City, and entered the city with weapons. When passing through Qili Temple, he wrote poems on the wall, expressing his determination to fight to the death. After entering the city, Yan Yingyuan immediately investigated the city's registered permanent residence Ding Zhuang, young and old, selected strong men to form a militia, and joined more than 211,111 township soldiers to go to the city in shifts, with ten in each battlement, and changed shifts on time. The prince of Wu Ju kept the east gate slightly, Wang Ba kept the south gate, Chen Ming kept the west gate, and Ying Yuan kept the north gate himself. He and Chen Mingyu are also responsible for patrolling the four gates day and night. Cross-examine passers-by in the city strictly 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 are good at financial management to be responsible for collecting and distributing the public and private materials in the city in a unified way. Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, we soon made the best use of our talents and everything, and all aspects of our work were done in an orderly way.

on the 11th, the Qing soldiers attacked the north gate guarded by Yan Yingyuan, and the city was flooded with stones, so the Qing soldiers were afraid to approach. Liu Liangzuo, the head coach, was furious and ordered nine generals to drive the ladder to the city first. The city was stabbed with a pike, and five generals were killed and four wounded. Some were shot with three arrows, some were chopped off, some fell into a row, and some were burned to death by rockets. The commander-in-chief was even angrier. He ordered a few valiant soldiers to be selected in the 11th Battalion, with 31,111 infantry troops and 11 ladders. They will go to the city in ten places in the future, and those who retreat will be cut immediately. The next day, the Qing soldiers still attacked the north gate, shooting outside the city and shouting. Thirty thousand troops built ten pontoons, crossed the outer city river together and climbed the ladder to the city in ten places. Yan Yingyuan commanded the city to throw stones and stones, and rejected the enemy with pike; At that time, the rocks were flying and the gunfire continued, and countless deaths were caused on both sides. A Manchu general was brave and self-reliant. He wore three layers of armor, hung two knives on his waist, carried two knives on his back, personally climbed the ladder, stepped onto the battlements and hacked with knives. The defenders in the city resisted with coffins and stabbed them with guns, but they could not enter. Someone shouted, "stab him in the face." So everyone stabbed him in the face one after another. A boy named Tang was holding an iron hook and sickle, and forcibly hooked his throat. The bamboo craftsman Yao Er cut off his head and fell to the city. The Qing soldiers came together to rob the corpse, the city was full of drums and drums, small arrows of bricks and stones were like raindrops, and the Qing soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties.

Liu Liangzuo ordered the sergeant to rope the head of General Namun, but Yan Yingyuan refused. Liu Liangzuo was willing to buy it with silver, and ordered people to put it in a silver sheath face to face and hang it into 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 pu and thrown back, hanging the head of Man Jiang on the city. Liu Liangzuo personally led people to beg at the gate and threw his head down. The Qing soldiers took their heads back, sewed them up, and hung for three days. Yan Yingyuan repelled the attack from the northern city, but knew that there would be a larger attack from the Qing army in a few days. So he actively cast tools for guarding the city, 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 the sergeant guarding the city. He also used Ji Congxiao's gunpowder to apply to the arrow to shoot people, and he died at the sight of blood. The crossbow is more than a foot long, the arrow is five inches long, and you can hit the target from a hundred paces away. He also released Chen Rui's son from prison, and made him make bricks and spears of fire. The fire brick is three or four inches wide, and it burns when it touches people. It is made of wood with a silver scabbard, which is three feet five inches long and two or three inches wide, and contains gunpowder in the middle. When the enemy arrives, it is dropped, and the organ breaks the wooden shell, and the iron water chestnut flies out, and it dies when it touches people. Yan Yingyuan also personally made a crossbow, using a piece of iron, made a few hooks on the side, tied with a cotton rope at the back, threw it to hook the enemy and cut it near. And imitate the old system, making fireballs, rockets and so on, all exquisite and wonderful. Therefore, although there are many Qing soldiers, every time I look at the city, I sigh and tremble. Even the Manchurian soldiers were terrified, and every time they attacked the city, they celebrated their survival.

The Qing troops attacked the city, which was unfavorable, and they thought of persuading them to surrender. Liu Liangzuo wrote "Persuade Folk Songs", hoping Jiangyin would surrender, but Yan Yingyuan would not follow. So the Qing soldiers set up cowhide tents at the gates to prepare for long-term operations. On the 15th, the Qing soldiers attacked the northeast city, Liu Liangzuo ordered the southwest to shoot, and the northeast dug the city, all of which used mountains to climb the siege, and the city was resisted by fireballs and rockets. The Qing army was defeated by the enemy and wanted to retreat, and Liang Zuo strictly ordered it to stop. Yan Yingyuan continued to order the city to throw bricks and stones, but the Qing soldiers failed to dodge, and hundreds of people died at the gate. Ryosuke was ashamed and frightened. So he set up a three-layer cowhide account and defended it without attacking. There are nine beams and eight columns in the account, and the arrows are thrown on them, all of which are bounced up and cannot enter. Yan Yingyuan ordered the use of human excrement, mixed with tung oil, fried and poured, and the cowhide was scalded and poured on the Qing soldiers, and the meat rotted and died. The Qing soldiers who were not burned were dismayed and dispersed, and the city shot at the fleeing Qing soldiers with a crossbow. 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 of the city had killed them, and ordered the firing of wooden spears to defend them, thus injuring countless people. In desperation, Liu Liangzuo ordered to move to Deng's tomb.

At the same time, Jiangyin asked for help from all directions. Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui led the troops to Taihu Lake, where they met with the troops of Belle Boluo in the Qing Dynasty. After being defeated and captured, they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Hai Kougu, the third pockmarked man who admired Yan Yingyuan, led his shipmaster to help him. After three days of hard struggle, he failed and sailed away. In addition, the king of Yiyang came to aid and was defeated by Shashan; The Scholar Gold Mine Association gathered more than 411 brave people to help, and was intercepted by Liu Liangzuo with three thousand fighters in Zhouzhuang, and all the troops were lost. Foreign soldiers were defeated repeatedly, and Jiangyin became an isolated city. Even so, Liu Liangzuo was afraid to attack the city again. He only used artillery to attack the north city, and it 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 balked. 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.

on 14th, Yan Yingyuan took advantage of the surrender of the Qing army to send more than 111 strong men to enter the camp of the Qing army with firearms in the name of "surrender", killing more than 2,111 officers and men of the Qing army. On the night of 17th, Yan Yingyuan selected thousands of brave men to go out of the south gate to rob the camp, or held a hatchet, or a short knife, or used a shoulder pole to rush into the enemy camp, injuring more than a thousand people. And his battalion came to rescue, and Ying Yuanbing had returned to the city. After this campaign, Liu Liangzuo retreated again and camped in Shifang Temple.

On 18th, Liu Liangzuo made the monks of Shifang Temple kneel and cry to the city, telling Chen that they were interested and urging Jiangyin soldiers and civilians to surrender early. Everyone in the city is willing to die to serve the country and ask him to go quickly. That night, the monks came to surrender again and were sent away again by everyone. On the 19th, Liu Liangzuo rode to the gate and advised Ying Yuan, "Hongguang has gone north and Jiangnan has gone down. If the first step turns disaster into happiness, is the title under Liang Zuo? Why bother? " Yan Yingyuan said calmly, "The men and women in Jiangyin have been eating wool and practicing soil for 311 years, and they are deeply indebted to their country. They can't bear to watch the wind and surrender. Ying Yuan is a classical history of the Ming Dynasty, and he knows where the great sense lies and will never serve the second monarch. The general is Hou Bo, and he has mastered the heavy forces. If he advances, he can't restore the Central Plains, and if he retreats, he can't protect Jiangzuo. How can he see my loyal and righteous people in Jiangdong? " Liangzuo was ashamed, and he showed it with a summons from the Qing court, urging Jiangyin people to accept the invitation. Ying Yuan said angrily, "There are generals who have fallen, but there is no history of falling." With a bang, the rockets were fired, and Liangzuo went across the three or four horses and sighed, "Jiangyin people are hopeless!"

Duo Duo, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, was furious when he heard that Jiangyin could not be attacked for a long time. He first sent Kong Youde, the king of deference, to "lead his troops to attack", and then sent Baylor Boluo and Baylor Ni Kan to lead Manchu soldiers to attack the city with red cannons. After Baylor Boluo pacified Songjiang, he led his 211,111 troops to Jiangyin at the gates. He thought that Liu Liangzuo had been a count of the Ming Dynasty and was heavily armed, 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, his opponent said, "This city is also boat-shaped, with the south beginning and the north end. If you attack the north and south, it will not be broken. But if you attack it, it will be broken. " He ordered people to bind Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui to the gate and ordered them to make a book to surrender. Huang Fei said, "I don't know anyone in the city. What's the use of writing a book to surrender?" Wu Zhikui, with tears in his eyes, looked up and advised Yan Yingyuan to surrender, feeling sad and sorrowful. Ying Yuan scolded: "The minister is bound and will die as soon as possible, so why talk endlessly!" The sunflower wept again, and she was speechless.

Boluo saw that Yan Yingyuan could not move, and launched a general attack. He divided his troops to cut off the reinforcements in the towns first, filled the artillery with bamboo cages, and advocated welcoming the front. The gunner was red and wounded, and the city was broken in three days. From the 21th to the 27th, the Qing army took turns to attack the city, and Yan Yingyuan commanded the defense and fought bloody battles, so as to keep Jiangyin city intact.

At the beginning of August, Jiangyin militiamen stood guard day and night, feeling very tired. People began to surrender outside the city. The Qing soldiers are killing and plundering everywhere outside the city, and the people are in poverty. They are despised by the people in Jiangyin. Those who shave their hair and surrender will be scolded by the city, even their closest relatives are like enemies. Seeing that the Yugoslav capital was tight, Yan Yingyuan took random hair from the people and threw it at the gate to lure the enemy. Surprise of Qing soldiers, report to Liu Liangzuo. Ryosuke said, "I can't believe it yet. Have you gone to see if the people guarding the city have shaved their hair?" After the Qing soldiers inspected, they knew it was a false surrender.

Boluo couldn't attack for a long time, and his heart was anxious, so he persuaded him to surrender again, saying that as long as the banner of Daming Zhongxing was removed, the four gates hung the banner of Qing all around, only a few people were killed, and the rest were ignored, even if they didn't shave their hair, they would withdraw. Seeing Boluo's plan to slow down the troops, Yan Yingyuan said, "Only me? I have no sin, why kill me! " Discuss without deciding. Boluo also said that as long as the Qing flag was erected all around the four cities, he would immediately withdraw. Yan Yingyuan knows that there is fraud, but he should not. Wang Haifang, the former overseer of Wujunmen, went to the river, slaughtered cattle and sheep and swore to the generals that Jiangyin was absolutely forbidden to kill and plunder after submission. He believed that he was well-known in Jiangyin, and he volunteered to persuade him to surrender, but when he was near the city, no one answered. Since then, Regent Dourgen has advised him to woo, and Boluo ordered people to shoot an arrow into the city, saying that he was dead. Why bother to defend himself? Yan Yingyuan ordered someone to make up at the back of the book: "I would rather be shot than die!" Shoot it back to the Qing soldiers. The Qing court repeatedly persuaded them to surrender, and some people in the three cities began to hesitate. However, because Yan Yingyuan was guarding the North Gate to the death, the consensus was rejected.

After being trapped for a long time, Jiangyin suffered heavy casualties, and its fighting capacity was decreasing day by day, so it was impossible to repair the city by night. Rice is getting less and less, so we can only rely on collecting folk rice in case of shortage. Yan Yingyuan ordered that rice should be collected once every two days, and it is not allowed to be collected in advance. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people boarded the tower with pots, raised their glasses and drank heavily. The students allowed to imitate the songs of Chu, and wrote "The Songs of the Five Rings", so that people who are good at singing can climb the mountain and sing, and they can make harmony with the flute and drum. At that time, there was no fiber in the sky, the bright moon was in the sky, the wild fields were clear, the halberd was silent, and the yellow crossbow, the drum and the huqin were in the enemy tower of Xicheng, and their songs were tragic and resounding through the sky. The Qing soldiers scrambled to listen. Or curse, or lament, very weeping. The song sings: "Yixing people, a gun. People in Wuxi smell like incense. Jingjiang people, hurriedly knelt on the beach. Changzhou people gave their daughters and mothers. Jiangyin people have been fighting for more than 81 days and would rather die than surrender. " There are many songs, but the meaning is roughly the same. Liu Liangzuo was tit for tat, ordered people to make a speech of surrender, let the foot soldiers lean against each other and sing, and drank wine in his tent with his staff. Soon, guns and arrows were fired from the city and dispersed.

on the 21st, Boluo ordered hundreds of people to move all more than 211 cannons to Huajiaba, aiming at the northeast city. The iron son entered the city, penetrating the cave gate 13 times, and the tree also passed through several times, landing several feet deep. The rain was very urgent that day, and it was charged with cowhide tent for external use, and the city head was in danger. Because of the heavy enemy artillery, the city hid behind the fence when it saw fire. After the sound of guns, climb the tower again. Seeing this situation, the Qing soldiers deliberately let the guns empty, and let only the wolf smoke in the guns, so that the smoke could not be distinguished at a distance. The city guards only heard the sound of guns thundering, thinking that the Qing soldiers could not enter quickly, but they didn't know that the Qing soldiers had dived into the Chenghe River and swarmed from the smoke, so they had no time to defend themselves and collapsed. Jiangyin was finally captured. When the Qing soldiers went to the city, a group of militia lined up against the city. The Qing soldiers were afraid of an ambush and were afraid to attack for half a day. By dusk, the city was full of people and the militia were scattered, so the Qing soldiers dared to go down to the city.

When the city was broken, Yan Yingyuan sat on the watchtower in Dongcheng and asked for a pen. On the gate, he mentioned, "On the 81th, he sent his loyalty to show the people of the 17th Dynasty, and 111,111 people died with one heart and one mind, leaving Daming 311 miles across the country."
