Aunt Xue doesn't go with outsiders, but because she has this inner fear, some of her family's business was completely ruined by the war, and she didn't feel that her son was in trouble, but she was still extra worried, so she became more and more kind to Xiangling. And the business of several younger brothers was obviously affected by the war, although the decent restaurant along the way is still theirs, but obviously, this business is not as good as before, not to mention the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and is often beaten by some Qing soldiers and bandits. Only the brother Wang Ziteng got some benefits because of the Qingqing. She chose to go to Beijing, which means that she figured out that Guò, the elder brother, could have a little hope. Especially for the Baochai she is looking forward to.

Because there were too many soldiers on the road, all kinds of robbers and teams were in chaos, so she went to Jiangyin and waited for her younger brother Wang Zhiyu, who was doing business here, to take her daughter Baochai to the capital together, and she also wanted to see her sister. She has always told people that Baochai is at her uncle's house in the capital, but in fact, Baochai is at her uncle's house in Jiangyin, an eleven-year-old girl, she never thought that she would turn into such a ridiculous thing

Because of the draft for Emperor Hongguang, show girls from all over the country, uncle's daughter Wang Yue is also among the candidates, uncle is in a hurry, he wants to marry his daughter quickly, this period of dowry is especially much, Baochai accompanied his aunt to Jiangyin's own jewelry shop to choose a dowry, just came back, I met Jiangyin's Fu Yin, Jiangyin Fu Yin is an iron-faced selfless person, heard Wang Zhiyu suddenly marry his daughter, immediately came to investigate, saw Baochai as she is Wang Yue, repeatedly persuaded, that Wang Zhiyu can't make a sound, Baochai is generous, was said by Yin Dayi of this mansion, and as soon as he said compliments, he really got up and went with him

Jinling too. Wang Zhiyu saw that her niece was naïve, and her face was so frightened that she hurriedly asked someone to notify Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue received the information, Xue Pan said that with the posture of her sister, if she was a queen, it might not be a good thing, and the situation at that time may not be who is the master of the world, so she just walked slowly on the road, which meant to wait and see, and saw that the shape was grim all the way, so she panicked to save her daughter.

Baochai participated in the draft with more than 70 girls on the first day, and even though the war was raging, the requirements for the draft were still very strict, she stood out from more than 70 show girls, was selected on the first day, and on the second day she was selected from another batch of more than 70. After bathing on the first day, Baochai put on a phoenix crown and xia veil, and couldn't sleep in the post house one night, waiting for the second day and the second batch of canonization together, and the heart was very worried, and missed his mother, and he didn't dare to cry, for fear that his eyes would be swollen and not good-looking on the second day. King Nafu was going to bring her into the palace that night, and Ma Shiying repeatedly dissuaded her, so that she would wait for the wedding tomorrow night to be crowned together, so that she could hold down her mind. Who knew that the next day, the woman surnamed Zou was selected to come in, and the two people were taken to the palace hall to listen to a group of pear garden operas singing, but the king of Nafu didn't even look at them, and the play was not over, so he told them to go home, and several soldiers sent them to the gate and no one cared about them. I saw dozens of people carrying things back and forth, riding horses, and Emperor Hongguang got into a carriage by himself, and he didn't bring a single female dependent, but only walked cleanly with dozens of soldiers.

It turned out that Emperor Hongguang got the news that the Qing army asked Liu Liangzuo to send three hundred knights to arrest him, and he was so frightened that he couldn't take care of himself, where did he dare to draft. That night he ran to a minister's house for refuge, how dare people accept it, he had to go to Wuhu to find Huang Degong, Huang Degong said that if you, the emperor, defend in Nanjing, we can still protect desperately, and now when you come here, you can only swear allegiance. He rushed over single-handedly and scolded the rebel general Liu Liangzuo with blood, and swore not to surrender. When he returned to the camp, he pulled out the arrow and said to the emperor: I have no choice but to kill myself.

The two girls here looked at the emperor and the attendants who walked cleanly at the door and felt that they couldn't understand it, fortunately, the girl surnamed Zhou was from Jinling, and she was fifteen years old, so she quietly pulled her back to her home, and the two of them slipped out of the palace, but no one cared, Zou Nu discerned the direction and went all the way to the Confucius Temple

Come here. The little feet are swollen, the dress is too heavy, it is really impossible to walk, and it has to avoid the night patrol people and some homeless people, and the path in the city is very different at night, where can this girl get pleased, and she will get lost after a while

They were wandering there, but they were caught by a man in black, who told them not to call and took them to the Confucius Temple.

There is a Taoist priest and a veiled woman in the Confucius Temple, and a little Taoist aunt, the veiled woman seems to be still a child, the Taoist priest asked the two girls if they would like to be with everyone, and both of them said they wanted to go home. The woman said: They have parents and families, and the Taoist chief still lets them reunite with their families, which is not as good as ours...... She couldn't seem to go on. Dao Changdao: That's only the annoying girl, we have to go and meet with Jia's guard. We'll leave you markers along the way. The little Dao Gu said: "You are also verbose enough, small things, I will go with Miss Lin." ”

The two took their second daughter into a carriage. The woman didn't say anything to them all the way, and the little Dao Gu kept asking them why they ran out of the house so late in such a phoenix crown, and they were still wearing a body of gold and silver jewelry, which was like a royal concubine. Baochai naturally didn't want to tell the truth, and Xiaodaogu said: "If you don't say it, we will send you to the official." The woman heard that she was covering up, and asked the Dao aunt not to ask again, nor to scare them, and sent them to the Zou family before leaving.

The Zou family was kind and sent her back to her uncle's house. She originally wanted to go back to her mother's house in Jiaxing, but Baochai was selfishly afraid of implicating her mother and brother, so she didn't reveal their names and surnames. I also knew that the situation in Jiaxing was worse than that in Jiangyin, so I had to go back to my uncle's house to live, while waiting for news from my mother.

This Baochai was a little happy because of his final choice, but now the shape is changing too quickly, especially when Emperor Hongguang scolded all the people of the Ming Dynasty because he escaped from Hangzhou, and this paragraph has become very difficult to speak. Baochai was selected, but was dismissed on the night of canonization, such an up-and-down situation, others can not hide their uncle. Wang Zhiyu's family was in a dilemma, and they didn't know what to do with this niece.

This made them secretive about this experience of Baochai. Now Emperor Hongguang is said to have been betrayed by his generals and captured in the capital to wait for his head to be killed, and Wang Zhiyu tried his best to hide this matter. Fortunately, the city of Jinling was broken, the people were too busy to take care of themselves, and as soon as this small court was dispersed, the historian who wrote the history book did not write down anything except the surnames of the two people.

Baochai only felt an incomparable sense of shame at this qiē. Although she knew that her uncle was under pressure to submit herself to the draft, and that the two empresses of Emperor Hongguang had died in the war, it was normal to choose a concubine or even a queen, but just when she was very close to a kind of glory, the war ruined this qiē. She felt that she had almost become a kind of laughing stock, and that laughing stock could be passed down in history. This Baochai didn't say a word in front of her, but behind her back, she cut off the phoenix crown and xia veil, took off the jewelry given by the emperor, and threw it in a cage and didn't care about it anymore, turning a boudoir into a clean room, and she could hardly find a little color. Hiding from my uncle and aunt, I cried. Her nurse He Sigu continued to persuade her, and transferred away from her former family and girl, and arranged for her daughter Ying'er to accompany her day and night. I heard that my mother had come to Jiangyin to pick up Shangjing, so I naturally wanted to leave my uncle's place, so as not to be embarrassed by this matter.

Who knows that in this place of Jiangyin, the people are loyal and righteous, just for the issuance of the shaving order, and the anti-Qing sentiment in the city has risen sharply, and everyone would rather die than shave their hair. There was an eighty-one day war of resistance with the Qing court, Aunt Xue was blocked outside the city, had to find a place to hide, the city began to organize planned resistance, some teenagers used various ways to promote anti-Qing resistance, the surrender faction would be killed, the soldiers were in chaos, some slaves took the opportunity to ask for money, burned down the house, and killed the master. Baochai's uncle Wang Zhiyu was denounced by a house slave, and a group of people rushed to kill his family and his wife and concubine. Because when Jiangyin surrendered before, a few Qing soldiers were arranged by the prefect to live in Wang Zhiyu's house, and there was indeed an elder brother prince who surrendered to the Qing, so everyone rushed over to kill Wang Zhiyu, Wang Zhiyu in order to protect himself, he was busy saying that his niece was the concubine of Emperor Hongguang, so everyone beat the gong and beat the drum to let this lady to lead the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, Baochai hid in the room and refused to come out, only to feel that the heart of death was there, but was seen to death by several mothers. In order to protect herself, Wang Zhiyu brought her canonization documents, carried her in a sedan chair, and sent her to the prefect's yamen. The prefect was a person who understood, and asked Ming Baochai if he really had no such intentions, so he returned the documents to her, and asked a nun named Huiran to take her to the temple, and the county government would provide for her to avoid disturbances. This old nun did not embarrass her, but put her by his side, carefully taught some Dharma, and went to the city every day to treat some wounded soldiers.

Wang Zhiyu did not protect himself with the trick of Baochai, so he had to plead that he would make weapons and was willing to make weapons and gunpowder for Jiangyin, so the second son and daughter produced a kind of crossbow arrow that sealed the throat with blood, and even the women were learning. All the men were given weapons. Everyone just let him go and let his family do things for everyone.

The Qing soldiers first camped in the west, but the waterway was still unblocked because of the brothers of the three young Sumen who defended it, and there was a man named Xia Qilong in Jingjiang, who brought 800 sand soldiers, and asked someone to take a note, and crossed the river to say that he was eager to support Jiangyin, so the city was busy with people bringing four thousand taels of silver, plus pigs and sheep, wine and rice, gunpowder and other materials to reward, but the combat effectiveness of these armies was not strong. In this way, there are constantly villagers who come from the countryside outside the city with weapons and food on their backs, and the city fights a decisive battle with the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers cannot enter. And constantly being harassed. The Qing soldiers sent three kings to attack the city, and there was a man named Cheng Bi in the city who brought his family's 140,000 taels of silver to Changshu Suzhou for help, but the other party did not agree, and went to Anhui for help, and when he arrived, the troops over there had been defeated. Liu Liangzuo, a general of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the Qing army, arrested him, got a lot of silver, and allowed him to become a monk. For a while, because the firearms of the Qing soldiers were powerful, the entire Jiangnan was in crisis.

The city also has to prevent the Qing soldiers from responding internally, and it is also necessary to prevent the Qing soldiers from shooting arrows from outside the city. Baochai and others held the lid of the pot to block the rain of arrows outside, and the other hand picked up these arrows, and one person could sometimes pick up three or four hundred arrows a day.

The city finally invited Yan Yingyuan, the former historian, who came here and commanded well, and he fought a few big battles.

Nun Huiran told them about the battle situation outside every day, and every other day she changed a group of children to take them out to pick up arrows or save the wounded. On this day, the nuns accepted a team of pear orchards outside the city, because they were all children who were not more than ten years old, and their bow and arrow skills were very outstanding, and they fought with the Qing army in the city during the day, and Yan Yingyuan, the historian of the city, let them come to the nuns to rest at night, and their leader called Duan Chuanxiu was injured because of the fight, and was taken in by the nuns to recuperate in the white tower. He only rested for a day, then said that he would go out of the city to find help, and despite the fact that the wound was still bleeding, he said goodbye to the children in the pear orchard and left. Baochai recognized him as the one who saved her that day, and sure enough, he came over later and said that this time he brought a team of 300 people, many of whom were from Jinyiwei before. This group of men was so skilled that the enemy soldiers who came up to the city wall were always cut down by their swords. The children saved the dead and helped the wounded on the castle tower, and they admired them very much. But Baochai saw that the leader of these people was actually the light gauze woman. Because she lives in the mansion and discusses major matters with Yan Yingyuan, she can't see her often.

On this day, Qing Wang Yue pulled Baochai and just went up to the city tower, a rain of arrows came, they had nothing in their hands, but they were blocked by a person flying up the brocade robe, those arrows fell in the brocade robe, were rolled up, the arrows fell to the ground, when they looked up, they saw the woman lift the veil and smile at them, indescribably pretty, a female soldier whispered: The cloak is broken, the woman smiled, untied the cloak, only wearing armor, short shirts, light gauze masking, more sassy. Baochai was stunned

At this time, the 30,000 troops of the Qing army built ten pontoon bridges, crossed the outer city river together, and carried the cloud ladder to the city in ten places. The people of the city threw with bricks and stones, and resisted with spears. Some of the Qing soldiers used boatmen to cover their bodies, and the people in the city threw firearms and stones at them, and they were all shattered. All the people on the four battlements advanced and retreated together, and when they saw the Qing soldiers coming, they shot at them with crossbow arrows. Especially the crossbow team commanded by the woman.

Duan Chuanxiu led the team to deal with those who attacked the foot of the city, throwing them with spears, or cutting off the flagpole and nailing the Qing soldiers to it. The Qing soldiers suffered numerous casualties. King Xue, the governor of the Qing army, saw that there were still some children defending the city, and thought that he was brave and invincible, wearing three layers of armor, two knives hanging from his waist, two sharp blades in his shoulders, and a knife in his hand, and climbed the ladder alone, wanting to destroy the battlements. He stepped on the battlements, slashed at the children with a knife, Duan Chuanxiu slashed him with a knife, and after several fights, the gun stabbed him, but it was invulnerable. Someone said, "Only stab him in the face." So they all stabbed him in the face. But the man was so strong in martial arts that the swords couldn't come close to him.

Baochai saw that the female general tapped the battlements with her feet, grabbed a banner with one hand, and her small figure suddenly flew up, and fired three arrows in the air at King Xue, who raised his head to resist, and an arrow hit him in the face. The crowd cheered, and there was a little boy named Tang in the bow team on the battlements next to him, who cut his throat with a hooked sickle; Yao Er, a bamboo craftsman, cut off his head. His body fell to the city, and the Qing soldiers came up to rob the corpse. The drums of the city rang out in unison. Bricks and small arrows rained down, killing and injuring more than 1,000 people. The Qing soldiers had to use a cowhide tent to block the arrows and stones, and then carried the body back.
