Chapter 92: The End of the Third Elder Brother (Part I)
Abai didn't really want to surrender, he just despaired.
There had been no movement on the Western Front for three days, and Abai had a strong premonition that his eldest brother Zhu Ying had abandoned him and the entire White Flag.
Abai's suspicions are not unreasonable, there is not much grain and grass in the white flag, and it is impossible for them to stay for long after the defeat of the attack.
Therefore, if it were Abai, he would also wisely choose to retreat north. Otherwise, it is very likely that the ending will be the same as the white flag.
This is probably what the Han people say that long pain is better than short pain, abandon the car and protect the handsome.
They can rebuild without the white flag, their Amma can regenerate without Abai, and their youngest brother Dolgon is only five years old...
However, Abai was wrong.
His eldest brother Zhenying did not abandon him and left.
He was just drunk, drunk every day.
Without Da Baylor's instruction and decentralization, Rao is Gong Zhengliu, the master, would not dare to make a decision to restart the peace talks, so the contact with Mingying stopped.
Gonggong Wei, who doesn't know what the situation is, is also surprised, when is it time for you to hold on to your Yingying? Don't starve your brother Abai to death by then, starve your big brother first.
No matter what, if you can support it, your father-in-law can't help but accompany you. After the line of peace talks was put on hold, Gonggong Wei wholeheartedly dealt with the white flag.
He had to listen to the work report of Head Fan three times a day, and then summarized it to Xu Xianchun for disposal.
The most Xu Xianchun did was to keep reducing prices.
Whether it is a weapon, armor or a war horse, the price has dropped from one day to three times a day, and on the 12th, a horse can only be exchanged for five catties of rice. If you don't want rice, you can give three steamed flatbreads.
Even so, the Jin army still brought horses over every day to exchange food with the Ming army. According to the confessions of these Jin soldiers, their banner master, the third elder brother, has ordered the killing of horses to satisfy hunger.
But this order was resisted by most of the Jin soldiers, for no other reason, it was really hard to chew and difficult to digest.
Many soldiers had stomach problems after eating raw horse meat, which made it smell.
It was impossible for the surrender of the entire battalion of the 3rd Jiala not to stimulate the other Jiala's golden soldiers, and the 5th Jiala, which was originally under the command of Fan Hun, had a small-scale mutiny.
TOEFL and others, who had already had dealings with the Ming army, secretly connected dozens of soldiers, assassinated a few stubborn officers in the middle of the night, and then returned to the Ming with more than 200 people and more than 100 war horses with the fifth Jiala.
This is the first incident of surrendering troops who voluntarily surrendered their names since they were trapped with the white flag, so TOEFL and the others were personally summoned by Grandpa Wei.
Outside the headquarters, Father-in-law Wei shook hands with TOEFL and others one by one, and put on the Qingtian Medal to commend them for their heroic deeds in the arms of the people.
"Facts have proved that the reactionaries in Jianzhou headed by Nurhachi are all paper tigers, they can't be broken if they don't poke it, and they will break it if they poke it!"
Father-in-law Wei, who has not spoken for a long time, is still in high spirits, and he still talks a lot.
"Speaking of this battlefield, in fact, our family has a lot of responsibility. As you know, the eighth son of your former puppet Khan was killed by our family, so (as indirectly responsible), our family must try to resolve this war as soon as possible. ”
"If the war here is resolved as soon as possible, it will be better to solve the innocent sword soldiers caused by the Jianzhou Incident as soon as possible, and strive for a great advantage for the imperial court. It also enables the reactionary clique in Jianzhou today to realize the determination of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, so that it can rein in the precipice as soon as possible..."
TOEFL and the others, who had just cut off their braids, stood up and listened respectfully, and the officers and soldiers below Fan Hun were even more upright.
"This time you two white flags go south, such a large-scale battle should at least be filed by your Council of Ministers, and your puppet Khan King himself will lead the army, and it is really foolish to let only one Ying take on such a heavy responsibility...
What's more, at a critical juncture, whether it is a white flag or a white flag, there is no joint operation, which leads to being broken by our army, and finally leads to today's predicament...
The responsibility provoked by those reactionaries should be borne by you ordinary soldiers in the end, which is really undeserved! ”
Grandpa Wei expressed deep regret.
"Commander Fan, I want you to tell the enemy soldiers who are still on the other side that as long as there is no miracle, their lives will be lost here. But they are not on the way to attack, and most of them will starve to death here. Be prepared! ”
Father-in-law Wei touched his beard, thinking that if his old man trimmed his beard, it should be very scene-like.
"We will systematically and mercilessly destroy the enemy, even with the roots and leaves." After the lecture, Gonggong Wei said this to Fan Hun.
........
In the eyes of his cousin Cherge, his cousin Abai is now nothing more than a walking corpse, and the banner lord who has not yet become Baylor is already waiting for death.
Looking at the third elder brother with a dead face, Duokana was very unwilling, he came up with the last method, suggesting that he should quickly organize a breakthrough while the soldiers still had some strength. It's better to run as much as you can than to starve to death here in this Jedi.
How to break through?
Dokana knew that it would never be possible to break through the trench defenses of the Ming army from the front of the land, so he suggested swimming - running from the Hunjiang River.
Cherg and Leng Gerry were all stunned by Dokana's crazy suggestion.
The Hunjiang River is a big river two or three miles long!
Without the means to cross the river, they had to face the attack of the Ming army's boats, and thousands of people threw away all their baggage weapons and jumped into the river, what would be the result?
"Then ask the master to cross the river!"
Fan Hun stated his true purpose. Compared with the crossing of the river by a large army, there is still a possibility of success if only a small number of people secretly cross the river.
Cherg: They didn't say anything.
At this time, Abai got up, shook his head and said, "What face do I have to go back?" After that, without saying a word, the form withered and walked out.
It was impossible for Abai to go back like this, he couldn't go back alone like this, it would make him even more uncomfortable than killing him!
"Master!"
Seeing that Abai did not listen to the persuasion, Dokana was so anxious that he could only stomp his feet, but there was no way.
The corners of Cherge's mouth moved, he looked at Abai's back and stopped talking, sighed lightly, and withdrew.
Leng Geri was inexplicably relieved, he was very afraid that Abai would be greedy for life and afraid of death, and would abandon the entire white flag to survive alone.
Now it seems that the third elder brother deserves the blood of the Khan King on his body.
Leng Geli is most worried about the following Niu Lu Ezhen, since the surrender of the whole battalion of the third Jiala to the Ming army and the mutiny of the fifth Jiala, the rest of the Jiala are also ready to move. He was worried that someone below would take risks, so in order to survive, he tied up the third elder brother and sent it to the Ming army.
What impact a living third elder brother falling into the hands of the Ming army would have on King Khan and Dajin, Leng Geli couldn't imagine.
Therefore, he secretly resolved that no matter what, he could not let Abai fall into the hands of the Ming army alive.
