In the twenty-second year of Kangxi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty set up a wall in the city of Jingzhou, and stationed the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the east, called Manchu.

Shang Jiabao looked at the children of the Eight Banners who were constantly shuttling around to defend the city at the moment, and felt an indescribable sense of desolation in his heart.

It is a shame that the dignified soldiers of the Celestial Empire were forced to retreat in this small city.

Suddenly, the defenders at the city gate were noisy, and there was no such thing as the silence that an army should have.

"Dashimu, go and see what's going on at the city gate. When has this been, they still have the mind to be there and keep talking. Shang Jiabao, who was already very upset, saw such a scene, so he couldn't help the anger in his chest, and hurriedly commanded a personal soldier beside him.

"Hey, the minion takes the order." Hearing Shang Jiabao's order, Da Shimu immediately knelt down and said.

However, before Dashimu could leave, a guard was sent at the head of the city to report the news.

After the guard was brought to Shang Jiabao, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Knock to the general." ”

"What's going on in your city? What's so noisy? Shang Jiabao didn't look directly at the kneeling guard who reported to the ground, but only asked coldly in an extremely unhappy tone.

Since ancient times, the superiors have all had a posture of not being angry but arrogant, not to mention that Shang Jiabao was still upset and angry at this time?

At this moment, the messenger guard who was kneeling on the ground was very worried. If he didn't answer well and made General Shang angry, he asked people to drag him out and beat him, and he didn't have a place to cry out for injustice.

"Returning to the general, it's because someone outside the city is calling for surrender." The guard replied respectfully, and his tone remained as natural as possible, for fear that Shang Jiabao would have any dislike for him.

"Call for surrender, call for surrender! This is all to be expected. These thieves also knew that they couldn't attack our city, so they bluffed and sent people over to call for surrender. Just ignore them, what's there to make a fuss about. Shang Jiabao said disapprovingly, as if he was also blaming the defenders for making too much of a fuss.

"Yes, General. It's nothing if it's a normal thief, but—" The guard replied without saying a word.

"But what? If you have anything to say, don't sell it here. Listening to the guard's reply, Shang Jiabao felt strange. What is it that makes this guard answer like this?

"Hey, General." The guard put his hand on the ground, half-kowtowed, and replied: "This is because the people who surrendered outside the city are also the children of the Eight Banners, and one of them, he claims to be Tumen, one of the guards of Yinbin Gate. Time. ”

"What? What the hell did he say when he came over and shouted? "As soon as Shang Jiabao heard that the person who surrendered was Tumen. , he immediately couldn't hold back his anger and scolded loudly.

Looking at Shang Jiabao, who was suddenly angry, the guard thought that he had said something wrong, which made Shang Jiabao suddenly so angry.

The fear in his heart caused the guard to speak a little unfavorably.

"Back... Returning to the general. He said that the ... Oh no... It was Zhang Liu, the leader of the anti-thieves, who said. As long as we surrender now, he can accept our surrender without reproach. If the stubborn resistance continues, the chickens and dogs will not be left behind after the siege of the city. ”

When he finished speaking, the guard immediately buried his head deep in his body. I wondered if I could find a crack in the ground that I could get into, so that Shang Jiabao wouldn't be able to see me.

"Too much deception, too much deception. What is this? After listening to the guard's answer, Shang Jiabao kept saying in anger, he felt that he was on the verge of rage.

I saw him kick away the guards kneeling in front of him, and said loudly to the subordinates beside him, "Let's go, let's go meet that dog thing for a while." Dare to make a big statement here, ignoring the grace of God. Is he worthy of his ancestors, worthy of the saint, and worthy of the court? This has just changed masters, and he knows how to come back and bite immediately. ”

So, Shang Jiabao and the others walked towards the city head at the entrance of the city.

At this time, Tumen, who was already tired, shouted. Shi had already stepped aside, and he let the people around him continue to shout.

"Tumen. Sure enough, you're here. Okay, you dog changed masters and came here to show off, showing off your might? You're worthy of me. "Look down at the top of the city and find Tumen. After a while, Shang Jiabao stared at Tumen. shouted and cursed.

Smell the sound of the picture door. immediately followed the sound to look for it, only to see Shang Jiabao who poked out on the female wall at the head of the city and scolded him. Tumen. I didn't want anything else, so I immediately couldn't help explaining:

"Will... Still... General, it's not what you think. This is also for the good of the soldiers in the city, and to find a way for them to live. ”

Although Tumen. When he had already surrendered to the bandit army, he no longer had to worry about Shang Jiabao. But one person's fear of another person can be changed for a while.

In the past, Shang Jiabao to Tumen. Shi also took a lot of care, and the Qing army developed a strict habit of hierarchy at such an early age. That's why Tumen. In the face of Shang Jiabao's abuse, he didn't have the courage to scold back, but found a reason to explain.

"Alive, we need you to find it? Don't think that the thief can do anything when he is powerful. This is because the imperial court has not yet reacted, and when the imperial court soldiers and horses gather, it will be your dead end. Shang Jiabao sneered at Tumen. roared.

"General, I don't know anything else. But I know that if you don't surrender and continue to resist, you will definitely not be able to defeat the bandits. When the soldiers and horses of the court gather, you will be killed. ”

"General, for the sake of the women and children in the city, go out and surrender! The bandit army has put down their words and can now accept your surrender. "Tumen. Shi didn't have a chance to be scolded by Shang Jiabao, but he persuaded him bitterly, expecting Shang Jiabao to lead everyone to surrender.

"Shut up, you greedy for life and afraid of death. I think your Tumen family is also a loyal martyr's family, why did you come out of such a greedy person who is afraid of death, it is really a shame for your Tumen family. Shang Jiabao shouted angrily when he heard this.

Listening to Shang Jiabao's scolding, Tumen. suddenly lowered his head, as if he was struggling with something. After a while, I saw Tumen. Shi raised his head and said: "As the ancient saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie. I also asked the general not to disregard the lives of nearly 20,000 soldiers and relatives in the city for his own selfishness. ”

"You fart, what is called disregard for the lives of the soldiers in the city. Thou son of a thief who has no king and no father shall surely die a good death. When the Qing soldiers come on the other day, it will be your time of death. Shang Jiabao said with a sneer.

"I don't know when I'm going to die. But if you don't surrender, it's the death of everyone in the city. Surrender quickly, and if you don't surrender, please release my family! I'm on your knees. "Tumen. After saying that, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the city.
