Then, Wu Junzhen asked rhetorically, "By the way, how is His Royal Highness the County Lord now?" Ma Wei told him that the generals of the Ming army were discussing the matter of escorting the county lord of Ming Tai'an back to his home, and according to the time, he should have almost arrived in Tai'an Prefecture.

Sure enough, the frame of the Ming army in front of the team braved the heavy rain and came to the city of Tai'an, and the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a hat and a robe, shouted to the city, "The frame of His Royal Highness the county lord is here, and please open the city gate quickly." ”

But the Ming army on the tower of the city did not dare to open the city gate easily, for fear of fraud, so they shouted to the city, "What is the evidence?" The angry commander of the eastern capital of Ming grabbed the boxer and thought for a while, then untied his waist card and raised it to show them, and said, "This is the commander of the envoy token, presumably there will be no fake, right?" ”

The soldiers of the Ming army on the city tower took a closer look, and because it was too far away and not very clear, they had to ask General Ming Taian Guoyi: Ou Jiade, after taking a telescope to look at it and confirming his identity, he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and go out to greet His Royal Highness the county lord.

And sent someone to the Tai'an County Mansion to inform the news, a soldier braved the heavy rain to ride a horse quickly from the street, the rain on the ground was splashed high by the horse's hooves, and came to the Tai'an County Palace, hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward.

He was stopped by the guards and asked, "What are you doing here?" The soldier replied, "I have come to inform His Highness the county lord on the orders of General Taean Goyi, and the county lord has been sent back." The guards were very happy to hear that the county lord had returned, and immediately let him into the house.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was led by the housekeeper of the palace of Mingtai'an County: Hou Yuchao, and went into the lobby to meet the king of Yongding County: Zhu Youbi.

Seeing the king of Yongding County of Mingtai'an who was burning incense and praying, the soldiers immediately saluted and said, "Little one to meet His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an, His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an has just received the news that the commander of Shandong has led the men and horses to escort His Royal Highness the county lord back." ”

Knowing that his baby daughter was sent back, the king of Mingtai An Yongding County was so happy, he was still worried that he couldn't find anyone! Now he was sent back, and asked, "Where is she now?" Take the widow to see it. ”

But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a man in armor, only to see the man say, "Your Royal Highness the county king, you are not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will!" Unless there is permission from the imperial court, it is a serious crime, and if it is reported by the magistrate, it will be punished by the magistrate! "But right now, the king of Mingtai An Yongding County can't take care of it so much.

Because he only has such a daughter! And the princess just died last year, and he was grief-stricken, and he didn't want to have sex with the rest of the concubines, so he hasn't given birth to a son so far! This led to the fact that the king of Yongding County of Mingtai An loved the county lord very much, and simply regarded her as the pearl of his palm, and he said to Meng Liangkai, the official guard of the palace of Mingtai'an County, "Aiqing don't worry!" Some of the widows are punished whatever they want. ”

After speaking, he asked people to prepare horses and go to the palace under the leadership of the soldiers, Ming Tai'an Zhizhou: Yuan Jingxiang, when he saw the elderly man in front of him wearing (Baohe crown uniform), he asked, "Isn't this His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an?" ”

Then Mingtai An Zhizhou hurriedly got up to welcome the king of Mingtai An Yongding County and asked people to make tea for His Royal Highness the county king to drink, and the county lord of Mingtaian seemed to miss his father a little, she rushed over and hugged the king of Mingtai An Yongding County and said, "Father, you don't know that the child went north to Changqing County to play during this time, but I miss my father, and I can even dream of my father!" ”

The king of Mingtai An Yongding, who was amused, touched her nose and said, "You little naughty ghost don't say a word when you go out to play, and the widow beats the nurse!" ”

Seeing that the father and daughter were chatting happily, Mingtai An Zhizhou took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "His Royal Highness, it's almost time to go home?" The lower official should be regarded as selling a favor to His Royal Highness the King of the County, and this matter will not be reported to the Inspector, what do you think? "I heard that Lord Zhizhou sold him a favor.

But the king of Mingtai An Yongding didn't want to owe him a favor, so he asked his subordinates to take out ten taels of silver and hand it to Lord Zhizhou, which was a little heart, and the greedy Lord Zhizhou accepted the silver and hurriedly asked people to hold an umbrella to escort His Royal Highness the county king out of the house.

As soon as he left the house, he met with the commander of the eastern capital of Ming, and the commander of the eastern capital of Ming saluted and said, "Your Royal Highness the king of the county, how are you..." At this time, Lord Mingtai An Zhizhou hurriedly signaled him with his eyes.

After sending away the king of Yongding County in Mingtai'an, the commander of the eastern capital of Ming called Mingtai Anzhizhou to the backyard to discuss the layout plan outside the city with the right attendant of the Ming Soldier Department and the right servant of the Ming Imperial Palace. Mingtai Anzhizhou had no choice but to follow the arrangements of the generals to cooperate with the action.

Due to the heavy rain outside the city now, the public will be worried that Jiannu may work on the moat issue? asked Lord Zhizhou to issue an order to block the river in the city, but before the soldiers could release the news, the Jiannu soldiers outside the city had already moved.

First of all, the Manchu Qing Doro Rao Yu Beile besieged from the left city gate, and the Manchu ministers besieged in the right ministers, and Karaqin Daru Huachi led the army to block the back city, because it was a rainy day, the guns and artillery of the Jiannu soldiers could not be used, so they had to replace the archers and spearmen in the front and the cavalry in the back to prepare to break the city.

In case the Manchu soldiers threw their claws and went up to the city wall, hooked the wall and climbed up slowly, the patrol soldiers were lazy, only a few people walked around the city wall, and the rest of the soldiers were drinking and guessing boxing in the inner fort of the city tower, after all, there was nothing to play on a rainy day, so everyone relaxed their minds.

Only the guards of the Zhizhou in the city are more vigilant, and the guards of the royal palace of Tai'an County are patrolling in the rain wearing hats, and the entire Tai'an Prefecture is almost defenseless! This also led to the Jiannu soldiers easily climbing the castle tower and quickly slashing the throats of the Ming soldiers (Kwantung broom scimitars).

After dealing with the patrol soldiers, the two groups of Jiannu soldiers quietly approached the castle to observe the situation inside, and found that the Ming soldiers were drinking and gambling for money.

At this moment, the Jiannu crossbow frame is aimed at the window, and there is a Ming army inside who has a particularly bad luck! He shook his head and looked at the window, and found many figures by the window? The soldier patted the winning soldier next to him, pointed to the window and whispered, "Quick, look, there's movement?" ”

But the soldier didn't pay attention to it at all, and thought he was cheating, and suddenly a sharp arrow shot out of the window and stabbed the Ming army inside, everyone knew that there was really an ambush, and hurriedly hid under the table, some with firearms, some with swords, and shouted very scaredly: "Who is outside the window, come out and show your face?" ”

But the Jiannu soldiers ignored them at all, but continued to shoot arrows, and stabbed many Ming soldiers to death, forcing the rest of the Ming army gunners to angrily raise their guns to fight back, until the inside of the fighting stopped a little, the Jiannu soldiers broke through the pear flower wooden door and drew their swords to come in and cut the Ming army.

The rest of the Jiannu soldiers took the opportunity to go down to the city tower to open the city gate, a large number of Jiannu cavalry rushed into the city on the left and right, the Manchu Qing Duoluo Rao Yu Beile ordered them to go straight to the state government, and the other went straight to the county palace to try to take the city in one fell swoop, the Jiannu soldiers quickly moved Although the sound of marching in the rain was covered by the rain and could not be heard clearly, but the whereabouts of the Jiannu cavalry were soon discovered by the people in the city.

A bold and patriotic citizen ran to the gate of the state government with an umbrella, and he said to the guards, "Oh no! Quickly open the door and let me report to Lord Zhizhou. When the guards saw this, they asked, "Who are you, and what is the matter with Lord Zhizhou?" The people hurriedly replied, "I am a citizen of the south of the city, and when I was about to go home on the street, I found a large number of Jiannu cavalry entering the city, and I also asked you to report to Lord Zhizhou as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as the guards nodded in agreement to push the door open, a sharp arrow flew over and stabbed the guard in the back, so frightened that the people hurriedly turned around and saw that it was the Jiannu cavalry, and he quickly ran to the corner wall on the side.

The brutal Jiannu cavalry smashed open the gate together, rushed in, slashed and killed people when they saw them, and shouted: "Jurchen language: It's really happy!" After a while, he came to the state government and surrounded Mingtai Anzhizhou, and the panicked Zhizhou Lord hurriedly hit his head next to the corner of the table, and the Jiannu soldiers began to collect money when they saw this.

Fortunately, the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming generals such as the right attendant of the Ming army department lived in the post station, so there was no danger for the time being, but the clues were soon discovered.

When the soldiers of the Youshi Post Station went out to feed the horses in the stable, they suddenly noticed a group of troops wearing bowls and gourds on their heads walking outside the courtyard wall? The soldier guessed that it was a Jiannu soldier? After all, the bowls and helmets of the generals of the Ming army were all straight to the top without gourds, so the soldiers did not dare to stare at Jiannu carelessly, and only let one soldier run to report to the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty who was discussing in the hall.

He was shocked to hear the news! He said: "At present, the number of Ming troops in the city is not much, only the general's pro-army Qingzhou Zuowei 6,000 people, and the rest of the Ming army are stationed outside the city, at this time, you must not anger Jiannu!" We have to withdraw from the city first, gather troops, and think about it in the long run. The right attendant of the Ming Army Department also felt that this plan was feasible, and he couldn't send a signal flare to contact them on a rainy day.

In order not to startle the snake, the Ming Imperial Court proposed to disperse the Ming army out of the city, and the respective generals led a small group of soldiers to withdraw towards the city gate.
