Chapter 317: Xiang Xiaoyu died
Leaving Xiaoliu's tent, it was already past time, and at the head of the city, Xu Changqing looked at the raging fire that was still rolling in the west, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.
After Xu Changqing's patient comfort, Xiao Liu seemed to have calmed down a lot and wanted to restore hope, however, Xu Changqing could feel the deep fear and loneliness in her eyes.
In the scorching waves of fire.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but think of the little figure with a little pigtail and a small yellow flower pinned behind his ear at the big set in Xujiazhuang back then, and smiled sweetly and handed him a rock sugar gourd.
That was also the first time Zhao Zengjin saw Xiaoliu.
Even, Xu Changqing almost couldn't help but say it just now...... He came to marry Xiaoliu and take over this plate......
Because Xu Changqing understands that this seemingly thin little girl is actually very proud in her heart, even if she doesn't have an accident at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to marry Zhao Zengjin......
She is more to Zhao Zengjin than her brother, if nothing happens, she will definitely refuse Zhao Zengjin euphemistically, and at this time, Zhao Zengjin's domineering enthusiasm makes her unable to refuse at all......
Xu Changqing didn't say anything.
This kind of thing can only be smoothed out by time, and the twisted melon may not be sweet.
"Whew."
Xu Changqing let out a long breath, and no longer thought about these trivial matters, and turned to look at the starry Qing army camp in the south.
Tonight, Dolgon, Duoduo, these people, shouldn't be able to sleep soundly?
……
"Brother, Xu Changqing, this Nikan, has a nose that is smarter than a dog, he, he shouldn't come tonight, right?"
It was already mid-hour, and the sea breeze was at its coldest hour, and the rich smell of the sea was whistling, blowing on people's faces and bodies, almost like the piercing tongue of the blind bear.
South of Haicheng, two miles southwest of the Qing army's camp, Dolgon, Duoduo, Azig and other Manchu and Mongolian royal families have been in this cat for a night, and they dare not make a fire, and they are frozen like their grandsons.
Seeing that if he continued like this, everyone would freeze to death, Dordor finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Dorgon in a low voice.
But after all, this matter was directly related to the majesty of their three brothers, and Duoduo would definitely not dare to speak out.
Dolgon was also not lightly frozen, and his feet were unconscious, but his concentration was much better than that of Dordor, and he said indifferently: "Don't worry, let's wait until dawn." ”
"This ......"
Duoduo was speechless, but he could only choose to accept it.
This is also an option for which there is no choice.
When the battle is fought to this extent, in fact, whether you can take Haicheng or not is not so important, Duoduo understands that he must know this as well, however, until now, the main force of their Great Qing Kingdom has been exhausted, but they have not even caught the corpse of a model army......
That can't be said.
Even if they can't take Haicheng, they must win!
However, as Murphy's Law says, "The more you fear, the more you come." ”
A group of elite Qing troops, together with dozens of Manchu and Mongolian royal families, the scale of seven or eight thousand people, lived in this broken ground nest for a night, not to mention the model army, not even a single hair, so they could only take advantage of the dawn to hurry back to the camp behind to rest.
Countless people were held back by the fire, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak......
……
Early in the morning of the next day, Xu Changqing received a battle report from the sea, and the Qing army had indeed besieged Jinan City.
However, the city of Jinan is thick and thick, although there are not many troops, but there are many people, and the current Futai Lord is not weak, and the red flag and the red flag have not taken much life to attack the city, and they can still hold it for the time being.
It's just that Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, has been coming to the rescue for almost ten days, and he still hasn't come to the rescue.
Although the situation is not too good, it also makes Xu Changqing breathe a sigh of relief, Jinan has finally not lost it.
But they want to wait for Liu Zeqing to save him, it's no different from dreaming, Liu Zeqing's guy is more slippery than a loach, how can he fight with the main force of the Qing army?
Xu Changqing was also helpless about this.
At this time, Shandong's troop allocation had long been abolished, except for Haicheng, including Jinan, Jining, Yanzhou, these big cities, for the Qing army, it was completely uninhabited.
Including the entire Daming, it is basically a situation.
The best result now is that the Qing army has been besieging Haicheng, waiting for the imperial court to mobilize reinforcements to come to the rescue.
However...... Xu Changqing hoped that the reinforcements from the imperial court would not come......
Otherwise, once the reinforcements are defeated again, then ......
It's also sad to think about.
Huanghuang Daming, it has been 2670 years since the founding of the country, Taizu Chengzu chased Mobei, and he didn't dare to put a fart in Beiyuan, but at this time, it was ......
Fortunately, at this time, it can be regarded as suppressing the momentum of the Qing army, especially that kind of arrogance, as long as it is operated properly, the future is still promising!
"Brother, got up so early?"
At this time, Wu Sanmei yawned and came to Xu Changqing's side.
She hasn't washed her face yet, let alone put on makeup, her eyes are still a little open, pure and plain, but this kind of innocence and youthful vitality is still a little amazing.
Xu Changqing smiled and pinched her pretty face: "Who said to wait for me last night?" But when I went back, I slept like a piglet. ”
"Nasty."
Wu Sanmei's pretty face turned red, and she glanced at Xu Changqing with disgust, becoming more and more feminine, holding Xu Changqing's hand and saying, "Brother, how was Xiaoliu over there last night?" ”
Xu Changqing smiled: "It's okay." In the future, you and Youwei will have time to play with her more and enlighten her. ”
"yes, okay."
Hearing that Xiaoliu was fine, Wu Sanmei also breathed a sigh of relief, twisted her small waist and was about to go back to wash her face and clean up.
At this time, some relatives came to report in a hurry: "Dashuai, Miss Xiaoliu, she hanged herself last night......"
"What?"
In an instant, Xu Changqing and Wu Sanmei were both discolored.
Wu Sanmei's body was unstable and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Xu Changqing's eyes were quick and he grabbed her.
"Brother, how could it be, how could this be? Xiaoyanagi, wasn't she okay last night......"
Wu Sanmei's tears were uncontrollably gushing out.
She was so good with Xiaoliu before, firstly, because Xiaoliu was really pitiful, and secondly, Xiaoliu was Xu Changqing's fellow countryman, and she had a close relationship with Xu Changqing's general Zhao Zengjin, so she naturally wanted to help Xu Changqing take care of it, but how did she think of it......
Xu Changqing had calmed down at this time: "When did this happen?" ”
The pro-soldier was also frightened, and hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be last night." Zhao Ye has passed now......"
Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh: "Third sister, you clean up, let's hurry over and have a look." ”
"Uh, okay."
……
Not long after, Xu Changqing and Wu Sanmei rushed to Wengcheng, and outside Xiaoliu's small tent, a white silk had already been hung, and Zhao Zengjin was like a child, sitting on the ground, a little at a loss.
And Xiaoyanagi's parents and two younger brothers were crying on the side and they were about to faint.
"Uncle."
"Evergreen ......"
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, the surrounding onlookers were busy greeting respectfully and quickly got out of the way.
"Brother, Xiaoyanagi she, she ......"
Zhao Zengjin also saw Xu Changqing at this time, and the tears that he had been holding back were like springs in an instant, and he couldn't control them anymore.
Xu Changqing's eyes were also a little blurry for a while, and his fists were clenched tightly.
He had clearly sensed that something was wrong last night, but it was......
In this way, a life that has been familiar since childhood passed away in vain......
Xiaoliu also told Xu Changqing last night why their family didn't come to Xu Changqing for the first time, mainly because her mother was reluctant to rent more than 20 acres of good land just now, and she was reluctant to her mother's family......
But although Xiaoliu's words were euphemistic, Xu Changqing understood that these villagers still didn't trust him Xu Changqing enough!
Because Xu Changqing was too stubborn when he was a child, his reputation was really bad, and after he made his career, he didn't really manage Xujiazhuang with his heart.
If it was in the past, how could the Tartars be tempted by a broken place like Xujiazhuang?
Or is it because of Xu Changqing!
"Uncle, aunt, Changqing has come to see you......"
Xu Changqing reined in his mind and came to Xiaoliu's parents calmly and gently.
"Wow."
"Uncle, it's all the slave family, it's all the slave family! If the slave family had listened to you, Xiaoyanagi, how could she be like this......"
Xiaoyanagi's mother immediately collapsed to the ground, crying.
Her father was also in tears, but he couldn't speak.
It took a while for Xu Changqing to appease them, promise to bury Xiaoliu, and protect their interests in Haicheng in the future.
This suddenly made the surrounding villagers have a backbone, and they knelt down for a large time, "Uncle, we all know that we are wrong, you must take us in." ”
"Uncle, I will follow you as a cow and a horse in the future, and I will never dare to disobey you again......"
After appeasing these villagers for a while, Xu Changqing withdrew and took Wu Sanmei to see Xiaoliu's body.
She had hanged herself in the tent, using her belt, and had now laid her flat on the ground, her little face pale as if she had fallen asleep tiredly.
Wu Sanmei couldn't help it, so she rushed over and cried.
Xu Changqing's eyes couldn't help but be hazy, and Xu Changqing quickly saw that a slightly simple little cloth flower was pinned to Xiaoliu's ear, which was exactly what Xu Changqing and Zhao Zengjin looked like when they first saw her......
This made Xu Changqing unable to hold back his tears anymore, his fists were clenched tightly, and the wordless anger suddenly filled his whole body, this is ...... Show him Xu Changqing......
Although Xu Changqing also hated Tartar before, it was more from the general trend, because these wild boar skins dragged down the process of the entire Chinese nation, and the crime was unforgivable!
However, at this time, Xu Changqing's hatred for them is no longer just the general trend, his brothers, relatives, friends, and fellow villagers......
"If this revenge is not avenged, how can it be ?!!!?"
Xu Changqing suddenly found that he was too conservative, these days, the sharpness of Songjin has long been consumed in the torrent of time, it is completely a conservative situation of middle-aged people, and there is no more sharpness and courage of young people!
This!
Obviously not what he Xu Changqing is pursuing!
……
Xiao Liu is a thin little girl, Xu Changqing's arrival has already given enough face to her parents and brothers, and soon, this young life that has not really bloomed, but has withered, will be buried in Haicheng.
Xu Changqing did not participate in Xiaoliu's funeral, and handed it over to Wu Sanmei, and he devoted himself to the research and planning of the Qing army!
By this time, the fire in the west of the city had gradually begun to extinguish, and the Qing army had built a large continuous camp outside the southern city.
Although they are all soil nests, they are extremely open, and there seems to be no fireproof setting, but the isolation is quite good.
And in the central part, a lot of cattle, sheep and goods were gathered, which was obviously a big pit dug for Xu Changqing and the model army!
"Ladies and gentlemen, if my model army wants to steal the Tartar battalion, what can you do?"
At the head of Nancheng, Xu Changqing convened a group of generals and officials to discuss the matter, and his expression was a little cold.
The surrounding generals suddenly whispered.
Xu Xiu was also a little confused.
The marshal also instructed him that day, not rashly, to be safe, how can he ......
However, he has been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and he has already had a belly case, thought about it for a while, and respectfully said to Xu Changqing: "Uncle, I have thought about this matter carefully in the past few days, and I have an immature idea......
