Chapter fifty-ninth the thief shouts to catch the thief

Within the gate of Beiguan, Jieyang City, the magistrate Chaozhou Prefecture and the magistrate of Chaozhou, Fengmingshan, stared blankly at the more than 2,000 Chaozhen Green Camp soldiers outside the city formed a formation and walked west, and ran away through a wooden bridge on the Beixi canal southwest of the city. They were completely confused.

What is this for? Is it the legendary escape in the battle? Why is Liu Jinzhong so shameless? Three thousand soldiers beat hundreds of people but failed, and they still escaped after they were about to stop... Even if you enter the city and defend it to the death, you are better than escape!

You have escaped now, what should I do? Fengmingshan felt so desperate when he watched Liu Jinzhong's green camp soldiers leave!

Liu Jinzhong is the head of a powerful army, and at least he has elite soldiers of the Thirteenth Battalion. Even if the emperor wants to kill his head, he must think twice before killing him.

But what should he do with Fengmingshan? He has no army, and he can take his head at any time for the crime of losing land...

Just as I was about to lose my head, a rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far and near.

Fengmingshan thought it was "Aobai's Eight Banners Soldiers" about to rush in. He was so scared that he almost wiggled his pants. Before he could urinate, he heard a familiar voice: "Feng Tongzhi, Aobai is about to betray the emperor. Why don't you escape? Are you trying to betray the emperor and surrender to Aobai?"

What did you betray the emperor and surrender to Aobai? Feng Mingshan was so stupid after hearing this. Why did his loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty become Aobai's lackeys? In addition... Aobai is really not dead? Aobai is really here in Guangdong?

Thinking of this, he quickly looked forward and saw Liu Jinzhong's godson Liu Erhu and a few cavalry had arrived in front of him.

"President Liu... don't talk nonsense. I am a loyal minister, not a fellow Oboi!" Feng Mingshan quickly explained that he could not let anyone put the hat of the fellow Oboi.

This is going to be buttoned, and it will be difficult to clean even if you jump into the Yellow River in the future!

"Oh," Liu Barman nodded, showing an admiration, "Will Feng Tongzhi not leave at this time be willing to sacrifice himself to the city and be the loyal and heroic Qing Dynasty?"

Loyalty and Martyr? Why do you think it is loyal and Martyr?

Fengmingshan hasn't lived enough yet, so of course he doesn't want to be a loyal man. But before he could explain this to Liu Erhu clearly, a sound of "snatching your mother" came from the front.

Fengmingshan looked at it intently and saw one or two hundred "Eight Banners soldiers" holding big swords, riding a pony, shouting slogans that Feng Datongzhi couldn't understand, and slowly rushed towards the city gate where Fengmingshan was located.

"What are they calling? They are really the Eight Banners soldiers?" Fengmingshan asked quickly.

"Tongzhi, they should be the Eight Banners soldiers." Liu Erhu said seriously, "They seem to be shouting 'killing monarch'... they are shouting in Manchu dialect!"

"Puyou your mother" means "killing a foolish monarch" in Manchu dialect? Although Fengmingshan is from Liao, he is not a subordinate. He is the son of a Liaodong refugee who fled to Shanhaiguan with Xiong Tingbi during the Tianqi period, so he cannot understand Manchu dialect.

However, he still recognized the "Kanto Big Sweep Knife"... If this big knife was cut on the neck, it would have a head that would have fallen to the ground.

"President Liu..." Feng Mingshan saw Liu Erhu running away, so he quickly reached out and grabbed Liu Erhu's reins, "Does your godfather really want to abandon the city and leave?"

Liu Erhu said: "Feng Tongzhi, you also see... This is Oboi, the third prince of Zhu, and the Zheng Jing of Taiwan, who joined forces! How can I resist the Chaozhou Green Camp with just three thousand Chaozhou? My godfather withdrew his troops to keep useful soldiers to defend Chaozhou City for the court! Feng Tongzhi, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to sacrifice your country in Jieyang County, or to keep a useful person?"

Feng Mingshan said seriously: "Of course I have kept a useful body... I am the magistrate of Chaozhou Prefecture. The city has not been lost. How can I die for my country?"

"Okay," Liu Erhu nodded, "Then the humble official will protect the Tongzhi and go to Mianhu Village to visit the imperial envoy and report to him that Oboi and his remnants surrendered to Prince Zhu San!"

Fengmingshan actually felt that Aobai’s surrender to the enemy was incredible... But escaping now is important!

"Okay," Feng Mingshan nodded, "Then it's time for President Liu!"

Liu Erhu succeeded in his treacherous plan, so he naturally stopped delaying it. He quickly asked his subordinates to give a horse to Fengming Mountain, and ordered his subordinates to close the city gate immediately after entering the city with themselves and Fengming Mountain. The "Eight Banners soldiers" outside the city had thunder, so of course they could blow up the city gate. Moreover, the north and south sides of Jieyang County were natural barriers with the north and south streams as natural barriers, so no moats or moats were dug.

So now that the city gate is closed, it cannot stop the "Eight Banners Soldiers" outside the city for too long.

However, it can still buy some time for Liu Erhu, Fengmingshan, and the 200 Green Camp soldiers who were left in the city by Liu Jinzhong. After these more than 200 people evacuated from Jieyang City, they were divided into two.

Liu Erhu led about twenty cavalrymen to protect Fengming Mountain and walked towards Mianhu Village.

The remaining Chaozhen Green Camp infantry converged with hundreds of Chaozhen Green Camps that had withdrawn from the Nanxiqiao area, and chased Liu Jinzhong to Chaozhou Prefecture.

......

When Liu Erhu, Fengmingshan and others escaped from the southern gate of Jieyang and fled, Zhu Hesheng had already led more than 200 people outside the northern gate of Jieyang.

Although the Jieyang Beiguan City Tower was bombarded for several hours and was hit with holes everywhere, it did not collapse, and the city gate was intact - this is because the red-clothed cannon was far away from the Jieyang Beiguan City Tower, so it was not very accurate. It was just because the target was relatively large, so the bullets were shot perfectly. However, the shells were hit relatively high, and most of them hit the upper half of the Beiguan City Tower, and the landing points were relatively scattered, so it seemed that the city gate was hit very badly, but it was still early to collapse.

However, although the city gate tower did not collapse, it could not stop Zhu Hesheng's heavenly soldiers. Because Fengmingshan and Liu Erhu ran away and took away the Green Camp soldiers guarding the city, the Jieyang Beiguan City Tower now has a city but no soldiers. Of course, it is impossible to stop the heavenly soldiers with a wooden gate - the heavenly soldiers have bombs!

Zhu Hesheng sent two hammer throwers to take grenade hammers and stuffed four or five hammers into the gap under the city gate. When the fire was lit, the gate of the city gate was broken, and the two gates fell down immediately.

At this time, Zhu Hesheng didn't know that Fengmingshan had run away, and of course he didn't know the situation in the city. To be safe, he held a round shield and a long sword, and carefully rode his horse into the city, for fear that the traitor would shoot him with a hidden arrow.

Moreover, he was more scheming. When he entered the city, he shouted in a Beijing movie: "I am the third-class guard of the imperial court, Niu Hulu, Heshen, came to Jieyang to capture the rebel Liu Jinzhong and Fengmingshan, and no one else could avoid it!"

It is now the tenth year of Kangxi, not the tenth year of Chongzhen!

Although there are many Guangdong people who want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, few people in this category will live in cities firmly controlled by the Qing Dynasty government.

Therefore, when Zhu Hesheng entered the city, he was more careful, not saying that he had come to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, so as not to be plotted against by the righteous people of the Qing Dynasty hidden in the dark, but instead clamoring to catch the rebels... Well, this is a plan to "kill the thief to catch the thief".

Not to mention, the plan of his thief to catch the thief really concealed many people. Among them were Wu Xiaobao, the county magistrate of Jieyang County, the third of the four ranks of Jieyang County, the county magistrate Zhou Chaoxian and Dian Shiluo Dafa. These three dog officials were all quite confused. Fengmingshan, Liu Erhu and the others ran away. The three of them were foolishly guarding the county yamen with dozens of three yamen runners, and they were still raising money, wine and meat for the green camp soldiers who had already run away. They were very busy.

When they heard the sound of cannons outside the yamen gradually stopped, the three of them thought that Liu Jinzhong and Fengmingshan had won, so they all came to great enthusiasm and gathered in the lobby of the county government to discuss how much money they would pay to the merchants below. This Jieyang County is now a commercial center in the Chaozhou area, and it is a very prosperous place!

The three of them were discussing, and a fast team leader who was sent out to find out the news came in.

"No, it's not good..."

Not good? Why is it not good?

The three foolish officials were shocked and looked back at the fast-track leader.

"Zhang Bantu," Dian Shiluo reacted. The yamen's troupe were all his direct subordinates, so he immediately asked, "What's going on? Could it be that the thief entered the city?"

"No, no... it's not the rebels who entered the city!" Zhang Bantu immediately shook his head, "Yes, it's the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers led by the third-class guard of the imperial front, Niu Hulu and Heshen!"

"What?"

"The third-class guard in front of the emperor?"

"How is it possible? Did you read it wrong?"

"I can't be wrong," said Zhang Bantou, "I'm wearing a yellow jacket!"

Yes, wearing a yellow jacket! Is this wrong?

"And it looks very fierce, it looks like the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldier!" Zhang Bantou was still very careful and good at observing. "He also spoke like a Heavenly Soldier! In addition, he rode a tall horse, and he looked like a Heavenly Soldier!"

He dresses like a heavenly soldier, looks like a heavenly soldier, speaks like a heavenly soldier, and rides a long-legged horse that only heavenly soldiers have... This is not a heavenly soldier, so who is the heavenly soldier?

"And... and the guards brought the Eight Banners soldiers to the outside of the gate!" Zhang Bantou asked, "Are the three masters going to greet them, or..."
