But now that the other generals were mobilized and they accepted the surrender of the Qing army, at least some blood would be preserved for the Manchurians. Even if he can't claim to be a Manchurian in the future, he will feel better. Seeing that many Qing troops began to surrender, Wei Du also shouted: "Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill." ”

Subsequently, in the entire camp of the Qing army, the shouts of the Restoration Army resounded one after another. Seeing that the general trend had gone, many Qing soldiers also chose to surrender. However, there were many Qing troops who were unwilling to surrender, but now that there is no general to command, the resistance of the Qing army is also weak, and it was soon completely wiped out by the Ming army.

It didn't take long for Zhou Dazhu to also come to the Qing army camp. Seeing the captives collected by the Restoration Army, the Qing army of about 2,000 people, was stunned at first, and listened to Kong Tongqing's explanation. Just glanced at Wei Du, didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Dazhu knew Zhu Youdong's thoughts, and it was indeed similar to what Wei Du said. Since it is beneficial to Zhu Youdong's next plan, Zhou Dazhu has no objection, not to mention that the current Restoration Army has no other thoughts at all. Even if he lent him a few guts, he didn't dare to betray the Restoration Army, he was the murderer of Malegi alive.

But Zhou Dazhu still called Wei Du over and said, "If you want to save their lives, you can't have other thoughts." Tell them what to do and what not to do. You know His Highness's temper, when he was in Chongqing, His Highness even refuted the face of the Duke of Yasukuni. Don't go too far, and you have to remember that you are now Han, and this identity is not a simple sentence. ”

Wei Du hurriedly said: "My lord is right, I have absolutely no second thoughts about His Highness, and I also cherish my Han identity very much." Zhou Dazhu said: "Okay, it's good if you understand, I hope you don't make any mistakes." After saying that, let Wei Du continue to clear the Qing army in the barracks. Then Zhou Dazhu looked at the sky that had begun to turn white, and asked Kong Tongqing to gather his soldiers and follow Zhou Dazhu to Wuchang City to see the situation.

When the Qing army camp outside the city was attacked, none of the officials in Wuchang City were worried. only sighed "Evil", and then slept separately and no one cared. Because the Eight Banners of Manchuria are stationed outside the city, since they came to Wuchang. This has happened several times, slaughtering the people and robbing the people's women.

In the first few times, Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, also reacted to Zhang Changgeng twice. But Zhang Changgeng didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't dare to care about it. In this way, Yang Maoxun did not pay attention to it, and let the Qing army do whatever he wanted outside the city.

So the officials in the city were not surprised, and no one cared. But tonight's situation seems to be different, in the barracks outside the city, the sound of noisy fighting has been non-stop for a long time, and there seem to be many voices of shouting and killing, which have also been heard all the time, and have never stopped.

After Zhang Changgeng learned about this situation, he said a little impetuously: "What's going on with the army outside the city tonight?" How can we make such a battle, if things get bigger, how can we calm the people's emotions? ”

The old servant who followed Zhang Changgeng on the side was the old man who had been following Zhang Changgeng. Seeing that Zhang Changgeng was worried, he suddenly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I think that Prince An is still in Wuchang now, and these Eight Banner Army masters don't dare to make too much trouble." In another hour it will be dawn, and they will be almost finished. Besides, the whole world is full of Manchurians, and now that they are out to make trouble, who would dare to stop them. Think about it in the city of Beijing, which banner man has not killed the Han people, isn't it all right? ”

Of course, Zhang Changgeng knew about this situation, but he was still worried, and said: "No, how can tonight's situation come out in the second half of the night to make trouble?" Quan Lao, can you go out and inquire and see if there is anything else? ”

Quan Lao said: "Okay, since the old man is not at ease, the old slave will go out to inquire." But the master has been busy for a day, so you better rest early. I'll go out and inquire later, and if it's something important, I'll call the master. If it's not anything important, I'll wait for the lord to talk about it tomorrow. ”

Zhang Changgeng said: "It's okay, then remember to inquire." After speaking, Zhang Changgeng took off his long shirt, and then walked into the back room.

Seeing that Zhang Changgeng had already entered the house, Quan Lao walked out with a slight trembling. explained to the other people in the courtyard before walking out of Zhang Changgeng's mansion. At this time, there were no people in the city at all, only a few night guards and watchmen walking up and down the streets.

Quan Lao was at the door, and when he saw a group of patrolling soldiers, he waved his hand and asked the patrol soldiers to come over. The captain saw that it was someone from Zhang Changgeng's mansion calling, and hurriedly ran over and said, "It turned out to be Uncle Quan, why haven't you rested so late, are you hungry and want to get something to eat." ”

Quan Lao said: "Get out, the old man is old, he ate so late, I can't get over tomorrow?" The captain suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, look at my knowledge, you can't blame me." ”

Quan Lao said: "Don't talk about this, do you hear the noise outside the city?" It seems that there are still shouts of killing? Did you get people to check it out? The patrol captain said, "Uncle Quan, you are a little confused, who are the people living outside the city?" Can we take care of them? If we ask, isn't that unpleasant for ourselves? ”

Quan Lao glanced at the captain and said, "Did I let you take care of it?" I mean, you don't see it, what the hell is going on. The captain said: "Don't look, after these Eight Banners came, this is the fifth time that they have appeared, and I don't know where the people have suffered again." ”

Quan Lao sighed and said, "In this world, when will we be able to live a stable life." Quan Lao shook his head, turned around and was about to enter the house. Suddenly, at this moment, a soldier guarding the city suddenly ran from the security gate.

The soldier ran all the way, and because he ran so fast, he was already panting violently, and he couldn't speak at all. When the old man saw it, he immediately stepped forward and was afraid of the soldier's backlash and said, "What happened?" You see that you are in a hurry, so take a good rest. ”

The captain also said: "I said Sun Anhe, what are you anxious about, your house is on fire." Sun Anhe ignored the captain and said to Quan Lao: "Uncle Quan, go and report to the governor, there is a military situation outside the city, and it is estimated that the Ming army is attacking the camp of the Eight Banners Army." ”

The captain listened to Sun Anhe's words and immediately burst out laughing. said to Sun Anhe: "I said that you Sun Anhe haven't woken up yet." Someone dared to attack the camp of the Eight Banners, are you dreaming? Quan Lao also said: "Young man, these words can't be said nonsense, in this world, the Eight Banners Army will burn high incense if it doesn't attack others, where is anyone who dares to attack the camp of the Eight Banners Army." ”

Sun Anhe hurriedly said: "Why don't you believe it? What I said was true, and we could see it clearly from the gates. The captain said, "Okay, you said you saw it, tell me what you saw?" I don't believe that there are really people in this world who are not afraid of death and dare to attack the barracks of the Eight Banners Army. ”

Quan Lao also looked at Sun Anhe, wanting to hear him tell him what the situation was. Sun Anhe said: "We saw that the entire Eight Banners military camp was on fire, and there were many people running around inside, and the sound of killing shook the sky." That's why the garrison asked me to report to the Governor and ask him to make an idea. ”

When the captain heard Sun Anhe's words, he immediately said: "What's strange about this, maybe it's the army of the Eight Banners holding a bonfire feast in the barracks." The Manchurians were accustomed to it outside the border, and they did it as soon as they were happy. You guards don't understand, make a fuss, what's so strange about this. Quan Lao was not sure, so he said: "Okay, I know about this, you all go back first, and when I report to the governor, I will send someone to inform you when I have a decision." ”

Seeing this, Sun Anhe had no choice but to return, so he thought that the whole old man would leave. Before Sun Anhe left, another person came and said, "Oh no, Jin Shirong, the guard of Wangshan Gate, went out of the city with a large army." When Quan Lao heard this, he was immediately shocked: "What did you say? ”

This Jin Shirong is also a flag man, and he is the leader of the Han Army's Zhenghuang Banner. Since Yue Le came to Wuchang, in order to facilitate the delivery of food to the Eight Banners army outside the city, Jin Shirong replaced the original guard and took charge of Wangshan Gate.

Now that Jin Shirong suddenly led the army out, it must be that he discovered the abnormality of the Eight Banners Camp. Quan Lao immediately stopped Sun Anhe and said, "Are you sure that something is wrong with the Eight Banners Camp tonight?" ”

Sun He'an said: "Of course, although there were also soldiers of the Eight Banners Army in the past, they captured the people and the barracks. Then he deliberately released Minzhuang and let Minzhuang escape this time. They will chase and kill these people from behind, but it is absolutely impossible for the whole barracks to be noisy. What's more, we are in the city, and we still faintly hear the slogan of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Quan Lao became nervous at this time, asked Sun Anhe to wait outside the door, and hurriedly ran into the mansion to report to Zhang Changgeng. After a while, Zhang Changgeng ran out. I didn't have time to ask Sun He'an what the situation was. Yue Le's guards came over and said to Zhang Changgeng: "Lord Zhang, Prince An said, let you quickly send a large army out of the city to rescue the Eight Banners camp outside the city." Now there are remnants of the Ming army who dare to sneak attack the Eight Banners camp, and they must not let go of these remnants of the former Ming Dynasty. ”

Only then did Zhang Changgeng know that the Ming army was really coming to attack the Eight Banners Battalion, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhang Changgeng said to the patrolling captain: "You hurry up and find Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, and ask him to immediately let him immediately lead the army out of the city to rescue the Eight Banners Battalion." ”

Then Zhang Changgeng said to Sun He'an: "You go back immediately, and let the guards of the security gate lead three thousand troops out of the city to rescue." Then let the keeper of the neutralization gate send someone to guard the security gate. Quickly, let him immediately lead the army out of the city when he returns. Then Zhang Changgeng himself hurriedly put on his clothes and was about to go up to the city wall to watch the battle.

However, before Zhang Changgeng ran up the city wall, he saw the civil and military officials in Wuchang City, and they all rushed to the area of Wangshan Gate. Along the way, they kept asking each other what the situation would be. Although everyone knew that someone was attacking the Eight Banners Camp, no one was worried, because in their hearts, no one could defeat the Eight Banners Army.

So in the whole team, some of these officials went to see the excitement, and there were even people joking with each other. If it weren't for the fear that Yue Le would come to the city wall to watch the battle, who would want to come to the city wall to blow the wind at this time.

The whole of Wuchang seemed to have woken up, and there was a noisy sound in the city, and countless people began to flock to Wangshan Gate. After Zhang Changgeng arrived, he didn't see Yue Le and the others, and he thought about it. Who would believe that someone could really defeat the Eight Banners Army, of course Yue Le didn't have to worry. Jin Shirong has already led the army to the rescue, and the troops that Zhang Changgeng has transferred one after another.

As soon as Zhang Changgeng came, he asked the generals who stayed behind at Wangshan Gate: "What is the situation now?" The guard said: "I don't know the specifics, but General Jin, after seeing the situation of the camp outside the city, immediately took the army out of the city." ”

Song Kefa, who was on the side of Huguangyi Salt Road, said: "This is too unusual, as a gatekeeper, he actually sent troops without authorization." Is there still a royal law for this? Does he still have the imperial court in his eyes? ”
