Afraid of one's own shadow!

For the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shengjing City at this time, they were all in a state of panic, and the development of the situation was all unexpected.

Once upon a time, they all thought that if they came here, they would be safe, and they would no longer have to worry about the Ming army, and almost all of the people who came back at this time were the families of dignitaries and dignitaries, and they were even glad that they had returned here in advance.

Back in Manchuria, naturally there is no need to worry about those Han people anymore! They used to speculate so secretly, and even sympathized with those who couldn't leave the capital in their hearts.

But who would have thought that the so-called security is just their fantasy!

Even, before the Beijing division fell into thieves and the emperor withdrew to Manchuria, the Ming army had already appeared in Manchuria, and the Ming army was still the most ruthless loyal army to the banner people. The loyal and righteous army once built tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers to build a Beijing Temple!

You must know that in the city full of Beijing, the loyal and righteous army can stop the child from crying at night, and a "loyal and righteous army is coming" can make the child scared away!

Now, the Loyal Army is here!

And what's in this Shengjing City?

There is only one Shengjing Ang Bang Zhang Jing Wu Kuli, what else is there?

I knew that this would be the case, so it was better to stay in Jingshi. At least the walls of the city are entrenched there, and there is no need to be so worried about it as it is now. At this time, they knew they were afraid. They had never been afraid.

So what will Lord Wu do?

Can this Shengjing be kept?

At this moment, for the nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in Shengjing City, Wu Kuli is their backbone. In the dim light of the Yamen Signing Hall, Wu Kuli's thin face was full of worry, and his eyes were also full of anxiety at this moment.

The Loyal Army is coming!

In front of him were several urgent reports, which were from all over the country about the movements of the Ming army, earlier they were still in Lushun, and within two days, they appeared at the mouth of the Liao River, and all the way up the Liao River, and were rushing to Shengjing.

Wu Kuli's brows furrowed, he couldn't believe all this. Who could have imagined that Manchuria, which was the last place of the banner people a while ago, would have so many Ming troops in the blink of an eye? But he glanced at the surrounding generals, and finally turned back to Ningguta Angbang Zhang Jingbahai on the side and asked.

"Bahai, you said that if the Ming army comes, how long can we last?"

Ba Hai, who is Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing, was ordered by the emperor to lead 3,000 armor men and 5,000 Jurchen Zhuangding from Ningguta half a month ago to reinforce Shengjing, and Guannai did not forget Shengjing, did not forget that this place is their "land of dragon xing", after all, this is their last retreat, not to mention that so many people have put their belongings here, and they can't help but strengthen their defenses. However, it is impossible to reinforce here, so under the persuasion of the people in the court, Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Bahai was ordered to lead troops to reinforce Shengjing, and at the same time ordered him to recruit Ding Zhuang of the outer tribes in the Heilongjiang area, a full 5,000 Ding Zhuang, I don't know how many foreign tribes Ding Zhuang was empty, and this also made Shengjing's strength surge from more than 1,000 to 10,000.

"Lord Wu, as long as Minggou dares to offend my Shengjing, I would rather let them have no return! I have to let them taste the power of my Eight Banners powerhouse. ”

Since returning to Ningguta, Bahai has looked down on those banner people who indulged in pleasure in the rich township in the Guannei, and he felt that the reason why the Qing Dynasty lost the world was precisely because those people were too unsuccessful, but in just twenty years, the children of the Eight Banners were no longer as brave as they were in the past, that is, the armor people outside the pass and the courage of the children of the Eight Banners back then. "But no, when the time comes, we have to let the Han people see how powerful we are Buteha!"

Speaking was the Butha Leader that day, his words immediately caused the surrounding Zuo Leaders to nod their heads and say yes, for these local officials, they are eager to pass the Qing Dynasty's national merits, and then be included in the Eight Banners, from then on, like those banner people, they will be born with landed silver, and they will have silver and rice every year. Naturally, he regarded this expedition as a rare opportunity to "turn positive". For Bahai, he can not garrison Ningguta with less than 3,000 Qing troops, relying on the submission of Butha, Balhu, Xibe, etc. to the Qing Dynasty, and this time, he is recruiting 5,000 Ding Zhuang from various departments, in fact, without the support of these soil departments, it is impossible for the Manchus to maintain the rule in "Manchuria" - since the Eight Banners entered the customs, there are only 1621 people left in the Shengjing Eight Banners, and there are only 3172 people in the Ningguta Garrison Eight Banners, plus Heilongjiang 2000 Garrison Eight Banners, That's all the Qing army is here. It is precisely because of this that after succeeding Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing, Bahai has been writing to the imperial court, requesting that the departments of Buteha, Balhu, Xibe, etc. be organized according to the Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners will be compiled, according to his words, "Three hundred leaders can be set up, and 40,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners can be added!" Although as early as the time of Huang Taiji, he regarded the Heilongjiang tribes as the same Jurchen race, so he adopted the strategy of "conscripting and appeasing, focusing on Fu", through the purpose of appeasing the various departments and accepting the various departments Ding Zhuang, plus these border people are often very brave on the battlefield, and they are all brave people with one enemy and ten, whether it is Nurha or Huang Taiji, they like to capture these people, but after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they stopped appeasing the "born Jurchen". In Bahai's view, as long as these tribesmen can be recruited, they can regain the prosperity of yesterday that "the Jurchens are less than 10,000 and full of 10,000 invincible", but because of time, he only summoned 5,000 people. However, with these 5,000 people, it is almost enough. "When those bright dogs come, you have to kill them and leave no piece of armor!" Looking at the high-spirited appearance of these people in front of him, Wu Kuli naturally did not increase the prestige of the enemy, so he said with a smile.

"That's right, when the time comes, let them see what it means to be invincible! I have to let them taste the power of our Great Qing Kingdom! Then Wu Kuli muttered again.

"However, this Shengjing is really the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, this is not allowed to be lost at all, if the Ming Dog arrives, then our army should still defend the city!"

For Wu Kuli, he is not as confident as Bahai, he was only transferred to Shengjing last year, and he naturally knows that the loyal and righteous army is also very brave, according to the eight banner officers and soldiers who escaped back to Beijing by luck, the loyal and righteous army are all fierce and not afraid of death, and even the Huai King of the Ming dog, Zhu Mingzhong, who was still a pacification envoy at that time, can also swing a knife into battle, and the general is still so brave, the soldiers can naturally be imagined, although those born in the mountains and forests are all brave and brave bears, But what makes Wu Kuli anxious is that now the loyal and righteous army appears in Shengjing, and there is a great appearance of going to Shengjing, if Shengjing is occupied by the loyal army, then the Qing Kingdom will not even have a way to retreat, and now Shengjing is already in danger, the question is, if he loses Shengjing, the Great Qing State loses Manchuria, and when the time comes, what else can the Great Qing Kingdom do if there is no way to retreat. He could not fail to consider this question. Thinking about this issue is not just for the emperor, but for the court. It's for the livelihood of millions of flag people.

"Then the imperial court should get the news now. I believe that the emperor and the lords of the court will never sit idly by and watch Shengjing be surrounded. After everyone left, as soon as Bahai said this, Wu Kuli shook his head and said.

"Of course, the emperor and the lords of the court will not sit idly by and watch the Ming army besiege Shengjing. But the imperial court wants to mobilize reinforcements from the Guannai to go out of the pass, to say the least, it will take ten days and half a month, and now the situation in the Guannai is there, if it is in a hurry, it is very likely that the Ming army will take advantage of the loophole, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the previous efforts will be wasted. Thinking about it, even if the emperor sends reinforcements over, he will slowly figure it out, and now I am afraid that we can only rely on ourselves to defend Shengjing and Manchuria. Wu Kuli said earnestly, he knew what the current situation was like.

"General Ba!" Then he looked at Bahai and said.

"I know that earlier you wanted to incorporate all the Jurchens in the Heilongjiang area into the Eight Banners, but at that time, the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China were not in the Northeast, but they ...... in the future."

At that time, the hearts of the big guys were in the Guannei, who would have thought that one day the Qing Dynasty would be driven out by the Han people, and because of this, they were naturally not very enthusiastic about those who gave birth to girls. But it's not the same now as it used to be.

After a moment of silence, Wu Kuli continued.

"What the situation will be in the future, no one knows, but Wu knows that even if we drive the Ming army out of Manchuria this time and hold this one-third of an acre, I'm afraid it will be a heavy loss, and in the future, we will definitely have to fight with the Ming dog for decades, or even hundreds of years, if this Jurchen tribe can be used by me, I can get 40,000 male soldiers, and with these 40,000 male soldiers, it will definitely not be a problem to keep Manchuria, do you say this truth?"

"Lord Wu's words said to Ba's heart, how brave my Qing soldiers were back then, so that the Han people said that "the Jurchens are invincible", but since I entered the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers have been dyed with the weakness of the Han people, and they have long been lost in the gentle township, that is, the Jurchens of the Heilongjiang provinces still have the courage of the Jurchens, if they are soldiers, they will be able to reproduce the prosperity of my Qing Dynasty! ”

Ba Hai's words made Wu Kuli nod his head thoughtfully, as a man with a white flag in Manchuria, no matter what, he had to think about the future of the Great Qing Kingdom.

"General Ba, since this is the case, Wu wants to ask you for something!" Staring at Bahai in front of him, Wu Kuli knew that among all of them, there was no one more suitable than him to recruit the Heilongjiang tribes, because he was the eldest son of Sha Erhuda. Sha'er Huda has been stationed in Ningguta for decades, and it is even more popular in the Heilongjiang area, and the reason why the emperor made him inherit his father's position is precisely because Sha'er Huda's prestige in the Heilongjiang area is extremely high, so no one is more suitable to go to Heilongjiang than Bahai. It is precisely because of this that he wants to ask Bahai to do this.

"Lord Wu is blunt!" Looking at Wu Kuli in front of him, Ba Hai had vaguely guessed his plan, if he didn't guess wrong, he should have wanted to recruit more raw Jurchens by himself.

"Wu has no other strengths now, and this is used in the court...... Now you also know, but there are still 100,000 taels of silver in this treasury, so Wu wants to take all the 100,000 taels to General Ba, and General Ba will take them to Heilongjiang, and then recruit the Jurchen tribes in Heilongjiang, so that they can be used by my Great Qing Kingdom, I don't know what General Ba thinks? ”

Staring at Ba Hai, Wu Kuli said his thoughts, and Ba Hai also looked at him, of course he knew that Wu Kuli's move was for the future of the Great Qing Kingdom, but it seemed a little inappropriate to pass it like this.

"Lord Wu, Ba is here by the emperor's order! If someone leaves Shengjing, when the time comes, the court will blame him......"

Without the permission of the imperial court, if you leave your post without permission and then investigate it, you will lose your head.

"General Ba, if you and I don't plan as soon as possible, I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be no Great Qing Kingdom! Without the Great Qing Kingdom, what kind of court is there there! ”

Staring at Ba Hai, who was a little hesitant, Wu Kuli said directly.

"Besides, I let you go to recruit reinforcements for Shengjing! By then, moreover, Wu had already written to the court. If you are in a hurry, you and I will not blame you and me if you want to come to the court! ”

Wu Kuli looked at Bahai, and after saying this, he continued.

"General Ba, look at the current situation, the imperial court doesn't know when it will be withdrawn from the Guannei, when the time comes, if we don't send someone over to answer it, in case the retreat is blocked by the Ming army, everything will be over by then."

Wu Kuli was completely serious, and the worry about the country and the people in his expression was even more difficult to hide. The reason why he arranged it this way was entirely for the sake of the Great Qing Kingdom.

And his pure heart made Bahai even more moved, looking at Wu Kuli in front of him, he asked,

"And if I go, what are you going to do here? In case, in case ......"

Bahai hesitated to say that somewhat unlucky remark. Wu Kuli said.

"Isn't there still tens of thousands of horses in this city, if you want to go out of the city to attack, I'm afraid it's impossible, but if you use these people to defend it, you must be able to defend it!"

At this time, Wu Kuli obviously forgot that the loyal army had always been best at siege.

"In that case......

After pondering for a moment, Bahai thought for a while, nodded, looked at Wu Kuli and said.

"Just do as you say!"

Although there is no permission from the imperial court, Bahai knows that at this time, he can't take care of it so much. As for whether the imperial court will blame it at that time, he is not worried. After all, this is all for the imperial court and for the Qing Dynasty.

"The situation is so tense now, General Ba, without further ado, how about you lead people over now?"

Wu Kuli looked at Bahai and deliberately emphasized.

"After all, saving soldiers is like fighting fire!"

"That's fine!"

Bahai nodded, and then said.

"Then Shengjing, please leave it all to Lord Wu!"

"General Ba, don't worry! As long as Wu still has a breath of air, he will never give up this place. ”

After expressing his determination, Wu Kuli said again.

"Besides, the imperial court will definitely not watch the Ming army occupy Manchuria."
