Chapter 33 [The Murder of the King of the County]
The Karaqin cavalry, who were standing behind, replied, "Mongolian: they seem to have been ambushed by the Ming army?" The Manchu soldiers on the side also accidentally found thorns on the ground, these thin thorns are very sharp, if they are pierced on the feet, they can penetrate the shoes (shoes).
Therefore, the retreating Manchu Four Banners army cautiously walked out, and after leaving the city, Karaqin Daru Huachi came over and asked, "Mongolian: What should I do next?" ”
The Manchu Qing Dynasty Duoluo Rao Yu Beile thought for a while and decided to still divide the troops, all the way into Dongyuan County, the capital of Yanzhou, to continue to loot supplies, and the rest of the soldiers followed the Manchu Qing Zheng Blue Banner and the Blue Banner to Xintai County to distract the attention of the Ming army.
On the other side, after the county lord of Ming Tai'an entered the city, he hurriedly ran to the county king's mansion and saw many corpses of soldiers and civilians who died in battle along the way, and the county lord of Ming Tai'an was very sad, especially when he walked to the front of the house, he also found that the Ming Tai'an County Wangfu was full of arrows and arrows in front of the mansion!
The county lord of Ming Tai'an knew that something must have happened, she quickly ran into the mansion and saw the messy corpses around, she kept turning over the corpses to see, and shouted while checking the corpses, "Father, Father, where are you?" Lan'er is back to see you, come out soon? The accompanying Ming soldiers also helped to find it, but His Royal Highness the King of the County was never seen!
She had no choice but to rush to the corridor of her room, and sure enough, she found the king of Yongding County, Mingtai An, who was wearing regular clothes and lying in a pool of blood, and this scene made His Royal Highness the county lord shocked.
I couldn't help but shout, "Father! Then he ran over and picked up the body of His Royal Highness the county king who was wet in the rain, and kept letting the heavy rain flow down from under the UFO hat, and the Ming soldiers chased after him and saw His Royal Highness the county lord who was crying, and everyone knelt down with knives to express their condolences.
The news soon spread in the city, and the commander of the eastern capital of Ming expressed great guilt for the death of His Royal Highness the King of the County! Sympathizing with the soldiers and civilians who died in the city, he discussed with the right attendant of the Ming Army, and the two decided to hold a grand state funeral for His Royal Highness.
Since it was already time to find a drummer and musician, the Ming soldiers blew the horn to mourn and mourn, and the hall of the county king's mansion was instantly arranged into a mourning hall, surrounded by the sound of the horn, the Ming generals did not seem very sad but deepened a lot of anger.
Only the county lord of Ming Tai'an knelt on the ground and wore a white (filial piety clothes), crying while burning paper money and the clothes worn by His Royal Highness the county king before his death.
At this time, the housekeeper of the county palace of Ming Tai'an got the news, and hurriedly walked over and cried sadly: "Your Royal Highness the county king, why did you leave!" You must know that this is the end, I should have stayed by your side at that time, and accompanied you to be loyal to the country! Your Royal Highness, the King of the County, ....... In this way, the county lord and the housekeeper in the mourning hall cried all night.
The next day, the rain gradually decreased, many heralds wore hats, dismounted and entered Feicheng County, saw Ming Yongping Governor at the gate of the post station, the herald immediately stepped forward and saluted and said: "Governor, the big thing is not good, Tai'an Prefecture was besieged by Jiannu, Shandong Commander and the right attendant of the military department, let the rear army go to Tai'an Prefecture to rescue. ”
So the governor of Ming Yongping summoned the governor of Ming Shuntian and the governor of Ming Baoding, and together they sorted out the soldiers and horses and set off to join the front team to defeat the Jiannu. Brother, are you about to set off? ”
The soldier replied, "Oh, the governor told us to go to Tai'an Prefecture to meet and repel the Jiannu. When Ma Wei heard the news, he bit the steamed bun and ran quickly to the military tent to tell Wu Junzhen, but he saw Wu Junzhen wearing a regular uniform, wearing a hat on his head, covering his chest, and walked out, greeted Ma Wei and said, "Brother Ma, are they about to leave?" ”
Ma Wei, who ran over, took off the steamed bun and replied, "Brother Wu, I just wanted to tell you about this!" Can you move around now? I saw Wu Junzhen cover his chest and take a few steps and felt that it was fine, so he set off with the soldiers to Tai'an Prefecture.
However, the Ming soldiers in Xintai County saw that the rain was gradually clearing, and there was a vibrant scene outside the city, and the people were still walking back and forth at the gate of the city as usual.
Seeing this, some of the people quickly dodged, and Ming Xintai's guerrillas felt that something was wrong, so they clenched their sabers, raised their hands to stop them, and asked, "Stop, which soldier are you?" Why did you come to our county? ”
One of the leading generals replied: "Slave, oh, we are the garrison of Tai'an Prefecture, no, last night, the Jiannu soldiers just attacked the state city and killed the Lord Zhizhou and His Royal Highness the County King!" We also fought desperately to fight a bloody way to get out. "But Ming Xintai's guerrillas seem to have found clues? The soldier in front of him turned out to be very tall, about nine feet tall.
Not only did the Ming Xintai guerrillas fear, they were not the local Ming army, but the northern army? But when the north thought of this Ming Xintai guerrilla, he wondered if it would be a Jiannu soldier? In order not to startle the snake, he said directly: "I'm sorry! Our magistrate said that the city does not accept local garrisons, so you should go to Laiwu County! ”
The leading Manchu translator thought to himself; Could it be that the Ming army has seen through his own strategy? But think about it, isn't it, and there is no place to say anything? He continued to move forward and motioned with his right hand to the soldiers behind him to prepare for action, and the two tall Jiannu wearing Ming army cloth armor looked up at the city wall and thought they could climb up.
The Ming Xintai guerrillas directly opposite are facing an unknown army approaching step by step? He didn't care so much, and would rather kill by mistake than let go, so he took a few steps back and ordered the Ming army to shoot with musketeers and archers, and the Ming army on the city tower (bang, bang, bang) shot a few shots and some lead bullets penetrated the throats of the soldiers under the city.
When they were shot down, the military caps of several soldiers were dropped, and the money rat braids were instantly revealed, so that the Ming army on the city tower could see clearly, and everyone shouted, "It's not good, it's a Jiannu soldier!" ”
So they opened artillery bombardment on the Jiannu soldiers, and the Jiannu soldiers who were bombarded by the artillery were forced to retreat, but the Manchu Baturu still threw his claws and hooked the city wall, and when he climbed the rope, the thin pigtails of the money rat appeared from behind the UFO caps.
The people under the city saw that the soldiers wearing Daming cloth armor were actually Jiannu Tartars, and they turned around and ran away in fright, and the Ming Xintai guerrillas ordered the soldiers to close the city gate in order to protect the safety of the city.
But the Jiannu soldiers who were replaced with (shovel arrows) in front of them shot over, hitting the Ming Xintai guerrillas and several Ming soldiers behind them, and sent a signal flare to contact the Manchu Qing Duoluo Rao Yu Beile behind, and the army lurking behind quickly charged over after receiving the information, and was killed by the Ming artillery fire A small team of Zhenglanqi Baturu.
The Manchu Baturu who climbed the city wall immediately cut the throats of the Ming soldiers with (Kunwu knives) so that they could not shout, and jumped on the city wall to slash the Ming troops who fired the artillery, and a small number of Ming soldiers immediately ran to the county government to report the new Taizhi County: Wang Zhilin, who was drinking and having fun with his wife and concubine, learned of this.
Immediately put down the chopsticks and asked, "How many people are there from Jiannu?" The soldier replied, "About tens of thousands, right?" This frightened the magistrate, and he trembled and pointed to the door and said, "This official heard that Jiannu killed people without blinking!" And especially like to slaughter cities? If this is killed in the county government, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape death! The subordinate next to him fainted in fright when he heard this.
Mingxin Taizhi County decided to surrender Jiannu to ensure safety, he led his wife and concubine to the city gate regardless of anyone's opposition, and was surrounded by the Jiannu soldiers who rushed in and asked, "Jurchen language: What are you doing?" ”
The prefect, who was worried and afraid, pulled his wives and concubines to kneel on the ground and begged for life, and the Manchu Duoluo Rao Yu Beile, who had just entered the city gate, asked the Manchu interpreter to come forward and ask what was going on? The Manchu translator nodded and said, "Are you the magistrate?" The kneeling Mingxin Taizhi County replied: "The county Cheng and the master, they have already fled, I sincerely surrender to you, and please ask the lord to say a few kind words for me." ”
Knowing that the other party was a magistrate who was greedy for life and afraid of death, the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Baylor felt that it was okay to spare his life, after all, to avoid the Ming army in the south, a Han official who was familiar with the journey was also needed, but the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Baylor saw that his wife and concubine seemed to have a bit of a posture, and immediately became lustful, and he slowly walked over and touched the face of one of the women.
After the touched woman raised her head, she was beautiful and moving, and the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Beile was overjoyed to look at her with obscene eyes, and said, "Jurchen language: Yo, look at this little lady's fine skin and tender meat, how good-looking?" After speaking, the Manchu soldiers around him laughed loudly.
I saw that the Manchu Dynasty Doro Rao Yu Beile picked up a little lady and walked to the nearby house, and the Mingxin Taizhi County on the ground said nervously, "Hey! The military master, the military master, can't! That's my wife! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and looked at the abducted lady with a very sad look.
The Manchu translator, who had nothing to do with himself, came over and comforted: "Hey! Don't be sad to be favored by our Lord Baylor, it is her blessing, for the sake of being a Han Chinese, I will try my best to recommend an official position to Baylor. "Mingxin Taizhi County learned that the identity of the other party was Jiannu Belle Ye, he was angry and happy, but there was no way! Who made him surrender on his own initiative!
At this time, the other four concubines also grabbed the magistrate's regular clothes and cried, and the Manchu soldiers around them glanced at each other and said, "Jurchen language: Do you want to play with these few?" As soon as the words fell, the Manchu soldiers pounced and pulled the four women, directly pressed to the ground, took off their skirts, and insulted them on the spot, the very angry Zhixian gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, knelt on the ground, and ...... motionless.
