At this moment, the general soldiers of the Mingning Yuanwei met many officials who fled to Yongping Mansion from the direction of Shuntianfu in Beizhili, and some of them seemed to look familiar? It seems that it is still a Gyeonggi official?

Driven by curiosity, the general soldiers of the Ming Ning Yuanwei rode to a group of fleeing people, and couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask all the fathers and villagers, where are you going?" Is there something big happening in the Central Plains? ”

When the villagers saw that he didn't look like a bad person, and that he was walking towards the pass with a large group of people, some soldiers and civilians interrogated, "May I ask your lordship, but Ning Yuanwei and General Wu?" ”

I saw the man on horseback nodding his head, and after learning his identity, some fleeing officials and soldiers and civilians directly knelt on the spot and begged for mercy: "Please ask Master Wu to make the decision for us!" Since the Liukou entered Beijing, at first they were still kind to the people and knew that they would bury the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but who knew that only half of the days had passed, and they began to be presumptuous and indulge their subordinates to burn, kill, loot and rape ** girls at will! ”

Among them, several officials in regular clothes even introduced: "This is nothing! The most important thing is that the Li thief also ordered to recover the stolen goods? If you say that you have to follow the last wish of the Ming Emperor and hand over the silver according to the rank of the officials in the Gyeonggi area, the officials of this product will have to pay more than 500,000 taels of silver! This is such a heavy burden, no less than the three salaries in Liaodong! And the most odious thing is that not only the Chinese military officials have to donate silver to help them, even the petty officials and petty officials who can't wait for me have to pay dozens of taels of silver, Lord Wu, you say this is not letting people live? ”

In the end, the soldiers and civilians shook their heads and said, "So I waited until I escaped from Gyeonggi and went north, even if I died outside the pass, I didn't want to continue to stay in Beizhili!" ”

Then the Ming Ning Yuanwei General Soldier saw the Wu Mansion family riding a carriage over, as soon as he saw the Ning Yuanwei Ming Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry hanging the Vermilion Bird Flag and the White Tiger Flag, he stopped the carriage, quickly ran over, squeezed through the crowd, knelt under the horse and cried: "The little one meets Lord Wu, the adult is not good!" Fuchu and Fuchu have all changed? ”

The curious Ming Ning Yuanwei General hurriedly asked, "But did the Li thief bring my father into the palace?" ”

The other two brothers also stepped forward to take a look, and the family introduced them again, "Hey! It's good to be in the palace, but Mrs. and Mrs. She were defiled by Liu Zongmin, Marquis of Liukou! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were tortured by the Liukou to chase after the dirty, and even the old man and he were whipped by Liu Zongmin in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, and the little one ran fast and escaped with a few people in the capital. ”

After listening to their tone and the description of the family, most of them were forced out by the Li thief burning, killing and looting, which not only made the general soldiers of Mingning Yuanwei aware of three problems? First; The brutality of the Liukou to the former Ming officials, as well as to the landlord class and the common people.

Second; The general soldiers of the Mingning Yuanwei felt that Li Thief dared to detain and torture his father and snatch his concubine when he was about to enter Beijing and surrender with heavy troops in his hands. Third; In the case that it is not certain who will kill the deer, Wu Sangui really has such a great appeal, if he says that he will fall, he will not fall, and if he says that he will not fall, he will not fall?

In fact, in his heart, it is acceptable to take his father as a hostage, even if it is to recover stolen goods, it can barely be justified! After all, the establishment of the new Dashun court required the elimination of corrupt officials and the maintenance of a large amount of silver to maintain the north, after all, there was still a plague in the Central Plains.

But how can the Dashun Empire easily make up for the hatred of taking concubines? Anger came out of his heart in an instant, and it also made him completely feel that Li Thief's so-called persuasion to surrender was actually a scam? What's more, Li Thief once had a record of killing and surrendering prisoners, and what should be done with the 48,000 men and horses of the three brothers under the general army of Mingning Yuanwei if they surrendered? So he has to be responsible for his own people.

So after making a choice, he began to stop his pace and chose to betray the Dashun Empire and abandon the Li thief.

At this time, the eldest brother Ming Guangning was the commander of the guard: Wu Sanfeng, and the third brother Ming Guangning was in front of the imperial Qianhu: Wu Sanfu, and found that there seemed to be many corpses pulled by carts among these fleeing people, and some even vomited?

The perennial military doctor Lang saw the clues? He whispered to Ming Guangning's former Tun Commander Envoy, "Commander Envoy Wei, according to the old man, they seem to be suffering from an epidemic?" ”

After learning about this, the eldest brother suddenly had an idea? And the idea seems to dictate where they go? He said to the second brother Ming Ning Yuanwei General Soldier: Wu Sangui, "Second brother! A small number of these fleeing people are suffering from the epidemic, the last time you entered Jingqinwang, did you ever see an epidemic in Beizhili? ”

After recalling it carefully, he nodded and said that there was such a thing, so that the matter would be clearer, there was an epidemic among the fleeing people, which meant that there was also an epidemic near the capital, so Li Thief must still be thinking of how to treat it?

In this way, the strength of the Dashun Empire stationed in Gyeonggi has been greatly weakened, and at the moment they have 48,000 soldiers and horses, not counting the general army of Ming Shanhaiwei: Gaodi, 12,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses, if they refuse to surrender to Dashun, they can temporarily retreat to Shanhaiwei to maintain their power in a short period of time, and it is not a problem to block several rounds of attacks by the Dashun army with the help of Shanhaiwei's city wall!

As for the outside of the gate, there will be no drama! Most of the garrison are old and weak soldiers, and it is estimated that they have been cleaned up by the Eastern Tartars.

But Ning Yuanwei's general soldier felt that it was not a way to defend the mountains and seas alone? Do you have to use the force to repel the Li thief? After thinking about it, the third brother Ming Guangning Zhongqian prepared Yu Qianhu and thought that it was probably not good to stay here! Once the Shun army perceives Xiang, it will be surrounded! It was proposed to return to Shanhaiwei first and then from the long memory, and everyone didn't really want to surrender to Li Thief, so after this trouble, he transferred the troops back to Shanhaiwei.

The 48,000 Ming troops who betrayed Li Thief turned around and returned to Shanhaiwei entered the Wei command post under the leadership of the Ming Ning Yuanwei General Guard, and the three brothers of the Wu family had already followed him when the herald went to report.

The envoy of Dashun: Huang Yu, the general soldier of Mingshan Haiwei who was drinking tea: Gao Di, when I saw them, they all turned back? Do you think it's weird?

I couldn't help but ask, "Three brothers, why is this?" Why did he come back today after leaving on the 24th? Could it be that Guan Ning Tie was sent to Gyeonggi to perform the title on a fast horse? ”

Who knew that the commander of the guard in front of Ming Guangning was the first to stand up and speak: "Please take a step forward from the envoy of Dashun?" ”

Feeling that something was wrong, he hesitated for a moment, but got up and walked out, and the general soldier of Mingshan Haiwei was also about to get up, but was stopped by the general soldier of Mingning Yuanwei and said: "Lord Gao, I will finally return, why don't you sit down first and drink a few cups of tea?" ”

As soon as the Dashun envoy who was deceived to the outside walked out of the guard command post, he was put on the neck by the Ming soldiers with a knife and escorted to the door. Never! The two adults know that this knife will be ruined, and the friendship with my Dashun is ah! ”

But how could it be that Ming Guangning Zhongqian Bei Qianhu still slashed down and killed the Dashun envoy with a knife, and when the blood splashed on his face, he came over clearly and discussed the next plan with his eldest brother?

At this moment, the general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei, who was sitting in the guard command post drinking tea, also intentionally or unintentionally revealed the news to the general soldier of the Ming Mountain and Haiwei, and he pretended to be tentative: "Lord Gao, what do you say will happen after we surrender Dashun?" Secondly, are we destined to stay in this city for the rest of our lives? ”

Hearing this, the general soldier of Mingshan Haiwei, who felt a little strange, asked, "Lord Wu, do you have anything on your mind?" ”

Holding the teacup and before he could speak, General Wu saw a soldier walk in and reported: "General Soldier Qi, General Soldier Wu, the commander of the former guard of Guangning, have you asked the two to move to the Qixu Temple, do you have something to say?" ”

Mingning Yuanwei Commander-in-Chief, who smiled and took a sip of tea, took Mingshan Haiwei Commander out with him, and he was smiling all the way, but he just didn't tell Mr. Gao the true situation, because he wanted to surprise him?

Before coming to the Qixu Temple, his two brothers were already wearing white robes, wearing white scarves on their heads, waiting for the general soldiers of the Ming Ning Yuanwei, which made the general soldiers of the Ming Mountain and Haiwei at a loss, and when he looked up and saw the head of the Dashun messenger hanging on the Suzaku flagpole, he reacted and was frightened and weak!

The general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei came to the stage, and the three brothers announced together: "Everyone, today, as the relics of the Ming Dynasty, we are weeping, the six armies are afraid of Su, and we swear not to share the sky with Li Thief!" Anti-Dashun restores my Ming Dynasty, are you willing to go with Ben Shuai to fight into Gyeonggi? ”

After the lecture, the soldiers in the audience raised their hands and shouted their willingness, in order to publicize their anger, the commander of the former guard of Ming Guangning also let the soldiers beat the drum and cheer (bang, bang, bang) The sound spread in all directions.

At present, although the three brothers declared their independence and regarded themselves as the relics of the Ming Dynasty, and embarked on the road of meeting Li Thief, they were at a loss again, and had to shout sadly, "If we are loyal or not, if we are not filial, if we are not filial, how can we stand in the world?" Only kill yourself to thank the world! ”

The soldiers and the general soldiers of Mingshan and Haiwei in the audience tried their best to stop it when they saw that it was wrong, which made the three brothers put down their sabers and slowly calm down, and the resourceful Mingning Yuanwei soldiers suddenly thought of a notice?

That is the decision to emulate the ancients (refers to; Shenhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty borrowed the Dog Rong soldiers, Emperor Gaozu Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty: Yuwen Yong, borrowed Turkic soldiers, Emperor Xuanxiao of Tang Suzong: Li Heng, borrowed Hui soldiers, and Emperor Gaozude of the Later Jin Dynasty: Shi Jingjiao, borrowed Khitan soldiers) and other practices, and proposed to decide to "borrow troops" from the Qing court.

After all, at present, the Eastern Tartars are also eyeing the last checkpoint of the Liaodong Dusi, Shanhaiwei, and if they borrow troops, they can let the two tigers fight each other and reap the results themselves, so why not? When the time comes, they will suddenly attack when they are both defeated, firstly, they can avenge Dashun's concubine and abuse of their father, and secondly, they can also beat Liukou and Dongyu for the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

So Ning Yuanwei tried to persuade the eldest brother and the third brother to send someone to deliver a letter outside the Guanwai, because last time his uncle was the former Ming Guangning Zhongtun Guard: Zu Dashou, (Manchu Yizhou Guard) had written to himself and asked him to take his own troops and horses to persuade the eldest brother and the third brother to surrender to the East together!

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him, but now that the opportunity comes, he can send someone to reply that he wants to be friendly with Dongyu, and hopes to borrow soldiers and horses.

However, after everyone dispersed, the general soldiers of Mingshan and Haiwei did not seem quite right? He's preoccupied? I don't know what I'm thinking? He called his henchmen and asked in a low voice, "Go and take a look, keep an eye on Ning Yuanwei, and see what he wrote?" ”

His henchmen said, "What else can there be?" Didn't you just write a letter to the Dongyu military camp and ask them to lend us troops? ”

Having said that, the Ming Shanhaiwei General Soldier didn't think so, first, there were two uncles of the three brothers of the Wu family in the Dongyu, the Manchu Guangning Guard: Zu Dale, the Manchu Yizhou Guard: Zu Dashou, two, and then the Manchu Han Bachelor: Hong Chengchou, and their old friend, and this person said that he wanted to be martyred for the Ming Empire, but he surrendered to the Dongyu without any integrity at all, this time it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of collusion with the Dongyu to lure the wolf into the house?
