Chapter 212 Breakthrough tonight
(Thank you for your monthly ticket for frb9898~~)
Seeing that no one responded to the Eight Banners of the Han Army, Li Xin said again: "There are many people, so let's just recommend three representatives to talk to me!"
After a clamor, the three of them walked out of the formation.
"Play!"
The horse's hooves slapped left and right, and the three of them beat and bowed: "The criminal generals Feng Yuan, Jiang Hui, and Wang Liu met with the commander-in-chief!"
Li Xin didn't say anything and looked coldly.
The three of them knelt on the ground halfway, feeling a little embarrassed and more uneasy, because they didn't know what Li Xin meant, so they didn't dare to stand up.
"snort!"
Zhang Nai snorted from the side: "It's obviously a Han Chinese, but he performed the dog crawling ceremony of Tartars. I think these people are addicted to being slaves, right?"
The three of them suddenly realized, quickly got up, and saluted again according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty: "The criminal generals Feng Yuan, Jiang Hui, and Wang Liu met with the commander-in-chief."
"Yeah~~Get up!"
Li Xin waved his hand, and after the three of them got up, he said bluntly: "What if my commander killed the Manchus and Mongolians and put you back to Shenyang?"
The three of them suddenly became excited!
Feng Yuan smiled bitterly and clasped his fists: "I'm not hiding the commander-in-chief. Although the Qing Dynasty had the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, our Han Army Eight Banners had no status at all. You may not know that the Han Army Eight Banners were almost all the Baoyi slaves of Manchu nobles. In the Ming Dynasty, it means a family slave. If the master dies, the family slaves will live well and get good fruits to eat? I'm afraid the whole family will be punished."
Wang Liu also sighed: "Commander-in-Chief, we were originally all local Ming people in Shenyang. The destiny was sixth year... Oh, no, it was the first year of Tianqi, too... Nurhaci captured Shenyang, and the people in the city were forced to surrender. If we don't surrender, our whole family would be killed. If there is a slight possibility, who would not want to be the Ming people?"
Li Xin exclaimed this, saying that the Ming Dynasty oppressed the people of Liaodong even more than those in the pass. After all, Liaodong was bitter and cold, and the output was limited. The loss of transporting materials from the pass was astonishing, and all kinds of soldiers had to start from the people.
However, he would not care about such things. He looked to the north and looked at the north with an angry look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, your ancestors left their hometowns and took root in the bitter and cold land. They have developed Liaodong for generations and made great contributions. The city of Shenyang is destroyed. You cannot blame you. It was the officials of the Ming Dynasty who did not do anything and let you bear the consequences. I will not blame the people of Liaodong. I will give up this matter. However, if you are kept under my tent and listen to it, will your family be retaliated by the Tartars?"
Feng Yuan said bitterly: "I'm afraid I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime. Commander-in-chief, everyone doesn't blame you. There is nothing to say about the two armies being captured in battle. You are lucky to treat you. You have done your best. No matter how you deal with us, we will have no complaints!"
Li Xin asked: "In other words, whether it is killing or releasing, it will affect your family, right?"
All three of them were silent, and the prisoners of the Eight Banners of the Han army not far away also looked sad. Thinking of their wives and children far away in Shenyang, some even burst into tears.
"I see!"
Li Xin nodded and said, "That can only be aggrieved for the time being, and he will be the supervisor. After a while, he will escort the Manchus and Mongols to Haizhou to start a mine. This may take several years. He claims to be conscripted as hard labor. In this way, it may ensure that your family is safe. If you are unwilling, I will not force you. You can leave on your own after the war. Whether it is life or death, it has nothing to do with me. What about it?"
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Feng Yuan, Jiang Hui and Wang Liu were shocked all over, and their eyes were tearful and said with tears in their eyes: "It is said that the commander-in-chief is kind and righteous. Today, the brothers have seen it. We will do whatever the commander-in-chief arranges. In the future, we will fight against the outside world. The brothers are willing to be the forefront and atone for their sins!"
Li Xin turned his head and looked at the group of the Eight Banners of the Han army.
"I'm willing to serve the commander-in-chief!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"good!"
Li Xin shouted: "Thank you all to the point of giving up. From today on, we will be a member of my bandit army. As long as our army is working hard and fighting bravely, everyone will get a fair opportunity for promotion. I believe everyone will not regret today's choice. Please cut off your braids now!"
A personal guard handed over the waist knife.
Feng Jiang and the other two took the lead in pulling up their braids and cutting them horizontally. The tails of three gold rats fell to the ground. The others followed suit and cut off their braids one by one. The night wind rolled up a messy hair.
...
As the night gradually became deeper, dim candlelight swayed in the tent of the Qing army's central army. Turge, Hamin, Zhuketu, Outer Mongolia's prince Wuda and Zhaohatong, Lin Dankhan's son Ezhe, Tumot's prince Xunkuden and Korchin's prince Dulbert and more than ten people gathered together.
There was an atmosphere of despair in the tent, but no one spoke.
After a while, Turg said: "Tonight is our only chance to break through. I require that everyone should not be considered for life and death. Including me, I can leave one, one."
Ezhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, please forgive Xiao Wang for saying frankly that since the bandit army has laid a net of heaven and earth, it will definitely prevent our army from breaking through. On both sides of Linqing City, less than one mile away from the canal and horses. Not only can artillery fire be completely covered, but he can also lay mines in advance. With Li Xin's cunning, he will definitely prevent our army from breaking through at night. It would be better to wait a few days and wait until he relaxes, and it will not be too late to leave."
Xunkuden said with a consent, "Sir, the little prince is right. Tonight, the thieves are most cautious. Why bother to hurry? Our army still has 20,000 soldiers. Even if Li Xin attacks, he will have to pay a heavy price. Therefore, he will definitely focus on siege. Let's wait for change. Perhaps the general will come to rescue!"
Turge shook his head bitterly.
Abatai was born in Zhenglan Banner and was one of the three upper banners. Seven years ago, the leader of Zhenglan Banner, Manguertai, was sentenced to rebellion. The banner was obtained by Huang Taiji and belonged to Huang Taiji's personal three banners. In other words, Abatai was Huang Taiji's man.
Although he was afraid of Huang Taiji's attack on his brothers, in the eyes of outsiders, he was Huang Taiji's confidant, and Turge was the person of Dorgon, Dodo and Ajige's three brothers. How could Abatai come to rescue Turge?
Turg's defeat was a huge benefit to Huang Taiji. He could take the opportunity to attack the three brothers of Dorgon. The price he paid was only the thirty Niulu soldiers of the white flag. As for the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Outer Mongolian escorts and the Eight Banners of the Mongolians, they were slaves in the eyes of Manchus. They died if they died. Not only did they not feel sorry, they could also weaken the strength of the surrounding tribes in disguise.
Therefore, Turg was 99% sure that Abatai could not come to help, but he could not say this in public, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't know if you have noticed that the artillery of the bandit army can be hit two miles. If it is mounted on the bank of the Yellow River, no matter how many ships the general has, it cannot cross it. We can only rely on ourselves. Although it is dangerous, it is better than if we spend it day by day and our morale is dissipated."
“Oh ~~”
Everyone sighed, thinking about it, the same is true. The ability to shoot two miles of artillery is enough to hit the other side of the Yellow River.
"Follow me to go out of the camp, be sure to break through tonight!"
Turge glanced coldly and left first.
In a moment, the troops were mobilized in the Qing army camp, and Turg summoned all the bannermen and Mongolians to give urgent lectures. In fact, there was no need to say much. Everyone understood that their situation was not good. After a little mobilization, they made up their minds to break through the siege.
After making arrangements, Turge returned to the account, called a few confidants, took out the flintlock rifle he picked up on the battlefield, and said solemnly: "No matter what tonight, you must leave with your guns and present them to Prince Rui, and you must not make a difference!"
"twitter!"
The confidant took the gun and shot Qianying.
Chapter completed!
