An artillery bombardment caused the middle and high-ranking generals guarding the gate of the city to die in the city with Shang Jiabao.

At this time, the low-level generals stationed at the gate could not mobilize the remaining men and horses to resist the incoming enemy.

The Eight Banners who defended the city were gone, and the continued resistance was nothing more than a battle of trapped beasts.

These still alive Eight Banners soldiers may have heard the city's head Tumen. If the people are persuaded to surrender, they will definitely resist desperately. But the guards who heard the persuasion to surrender at the head of the city were all dead, and everything happened too quickly. Before the news could come, the gates of the city were attacked.

At this time, those loyal and brave people who were loyal to "my Great Qing Dynasty" were all cut down to the ground by the bandit soldiers who rushed in, lying there with blood and wailing.

Faced with such a situation, among the group of Eight Banners soldiers who were at a loss, an exclamation suddenly came: "Look, that's not our white flag Tumen. Adult? ”

As the person who spoke pointed to him, many Eight Banners soldiers looked over. Sure enough, Tumen. At this moment, he rushed over quickly with his subordinates as the vanguard of the bandit army.

"Lord Shi, Lord Shi. Here..."At the corner of a house in the northeast corner of the city, a guard in a blue flag uniform faced Tumen, who was coming. waved his hand and called.

Tumen. Shi Xun looked for prestige, and saw that this lieutenant was leading dozens of his men to hide there, and his shouts were full of joy to find his own people. Tumen. didn't say much, so he took his men to the place where these Eight Banners were located.

"Lord Shi, what's going on here? How did the thief come in? What do we do now? The lieutenant looked at the figure who was approaching. Shi Yilian asked.

It turned out that the captain didn't know about Tumen yet. When he had already surrendered, he thought he was just being driven back by the bandit army.

Came to this defensive consolation in front of the map. Shi took advantage of the fact that the captain was still unprepared, so he directly pulled out the knife in his hand, put it on his neck, and shouted: "Nissanlai, will you surrender or die?" ”

This Nissan Lai looked at the Pu knife around his neck, although it was hot in the afternoon, he could also feel that the Pu knife made of steel was so cold.

Nissan Lai looked at Tumen in disbelief. Shi asked: "Lord Shi, what's the matter with you, do you mean that you surrendered to the thief?" ”

"You don't talk nonsense here, I'm busy and in a hurry. Will you surrender with me or die now? "Tumen. Shi didn't look at Nissan Lai much, and there was no politeness in his words.

"Well, I—" Nissan Lai hesitated slightly, trying to understand the general situation. However, I saw that the pupils in his eyes suddenly dilated, and then rapidly shrank back.

At this moment, a blood mark had appeared on the knife on his neck, and the blood had even begun to seep out to Tumen. on the blade. Apparently Tumen. I really wasn't going to give him more time to think about it slowly.

The pain in his neck also made Nissan Lai realize that Tumen. It's definitely not a joke. Nissan Lai hurriedly called:

"Lord Shi, I'll descend, I'll descend, don't kill me."

"Very well, let them all put down their weapons and kneel to the side and surrender." Tumen. Shi was very satisfied with the order.

"Yes, yes. Humble obedience. Nisanlai replied quickly. Then he turned his head and shouted loudly to his subordinates behind him:

"Have you all heard it, if you don't want to die, put down your weapons immediately."

The Eight Banners soldiers who heard the words looked at each other, and they didn't have an idea. Those who were loyal to Nisanlai also laid down their weapons when they heard the sound. The other Eight Banners soldiers would only surrender when they saw it.

"Harimai, you take a few people to collect their weapons, and then hand them over to the bandit soldiers behind." Tumen. Without looking back, he commanded to a subordinate beside him.

"Hey, the minion takes the order."

After Harimai led the men to quickly collect the weapons discarded by the surrender of Nissanlai's subordinates, Tumen. Then he led the others to find their families.

The bandit army has already explained to them, asking them to be the vanguard and find their families as soon as possible, so as not to be killed by the bandit army at that time. So time is urgent, and I can't figure out the door. Don't be nervous.

Jingzhou was only recognized by the Manchus after the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories". For this reason, when Kangxi established Manchu in the 22nd year, the 4,000 defenders in the city were all Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers, and there was no Han military flag.

The characteristic of the Eight Banners system is that people are unified by flags, that is, by banners to command soldiers. Anyone who is affiliated with the Eight Banners can be a soldier.

Since the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories", Jingzhou Mancheng has been in a state of stability. The Manchu Qing exempted the banner people from taxes and labor, and the banner people in the city received a high amount of money and did not do anything, plus the land left to them by the previous "enclosure", so the banner people naturally and comfortably "made people".

Today, there are nearly 20,000 bannermen in Jingzhou. Although there are many Manchurian Banner people in the city, so many years of comfortable life have made them decadent.

At this time, the entire city had been tightly surrounded by tens of thousands of bandit troops, and the people in the city were all terrified.

Since the siege battle a few days ago, they all understood that these bandit troops besieging them were not the Han people who had been bullied by them before and did not dare to fight back.

Although Jingzhou Mancheng is not small, it is Tumen. I am already familiar with the location of my house. No matter how messy the battlefield was, it couldn't stop him from rushing home. As for his men, they were also sent back to find their families to come to Tumen. They took refuge together in the house.

Tumen Mansion, a quadrangle courtyard with five entrances and five exits.

The tall plaque is hung on the eaves, and the three words "Tumen Mansion" are written in upright regular script. There is a pair of stone lions at the door, and a foot behind the three-step stone staircase is a closed iron ring gate.

Looking at the closed door of his house, Tumen. My heart tightened.

"It's better that nothing happens to the people in the family."

"Bang Bang..."

Tumen. Shi didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly ran to the door, lifting the iron ring in the mouth of the iron beast embedded in the door, and knocked on the door panel vigorously.

"Is there anyone, hurry up and open the door." Tumen. He shouted urgently.

"But the master is back?" The voice of the old man guarding the door came from inside the Tumen Mansion.

During the Qing Dynasty, being able to guard the door of the large banner family was also a profession that could be passed on to children and grandchildren.

Although this janitor old man gave Tumen. When the door was opened for nearly half a lifetime, but the door of the picture. I just can't remember the name of the old man who opened the door. After all, in Tumen. It seems that there is really no need to remember.

"Yes, open the door." Tumen. He said in a habitual tone.

"Whoa..."

After a low doorway, the door opened quickly.

"Sir...", the old man saw the picture door at the door. After a while, he naturally knelt down and asked.

"Hmm...," Tumen. I don't understand why I responded to this janitor today. Then, without considering whether the door was open enough or not, he hurriedly stepped in.

"The master has returned home..."
