But considering that after all, he was the favored general of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, so he agreed to surrender Dashun on the spot, which would inevitably lose the dignity of the Ning army, so he had to say tactfully, "Thank you Emperor Dashun for your kindness!" Ben Shuai understood, and the special envoy of labor went back to Beijing to tell him that Ben Shuai still had to deal with some things with the generals, and then returned to the capital to return to Shun, what do you think? ”

This sentence made the Dashun envoy: Huang Yu, very satisfied, he quickly nodded in agreement, and turned around with a smile and left the Wei command post, and after the Dashun envoy left, the generals of the Ming Dynasty asked the Ming Ning Yuanwei commander, whether they really want to surrender Dashun?

And the general soldier of Mingning Yuanwei said, "There is actually nothing wrong with surrendering Dashun, as long as he Li Zicheng can do what he says and treat my Wu Mansion's family sincerely, then Ben Shuai will naturally fight the world for him, anyway, there is no other place to go now!" The imperial court didn't even pay last month's salary, and the officers and men of our army have long been dissatisfied! Besides, the Ming Emperor is dead, and we have become a lost dog, if we don't plan early, I'm afraid that the Donglu outside the gate is not a good stubble. ”

After getting the heart, it also made the commander of the Ming Guangning Qiantun Guard and the Ming Guangning Zhongbei Yu Qianhu feel something, and the three of them planned to immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses to go south into Shanhaiwei and enter Beijing.

At the same time, the Dashun military division accompanying him outside the city: Song Xiance, I thought something was wrong when I didn't see anyone come out for a long time? I wanted to let the former Ming Soldier Zuo Shilang: Zuo Maotai, and the Ming Soldier Department's staff Fang Shilangzhong: Zhang Ruoqi, go into the city together to persuade them, so that they can completely surrender.

Who knew that at this time, the Dashun envoy walked out, walked out of the city gate, walked across the drawbridge and saluted the Dashun military division, and whispered in his ear, "The matter is in order, and the military division can return to Beijing to report the situation to Your Majesty." ”

However, for the sake of safety, the Dashun military division decided to leave the Dashun envoy in Guangning Qiantunwei, and sent people to quickly whip the Dashun Miyun general army: Tang Tong, to come and garrison in the Balipu area near Shanhaiwei Pass, the purpose is to wait for Wu Sangui and the three brothers to enter the customs, and immediately replace the three garrisons of Guangning Qiantunwei, Ning Yuanwei, and Guangning Zhongqian Reserve Yuqianhu in case of contingencies.

Unexpectedly, at the moment of the night, the night patrol Ming Shun troops stationed in Balipu had just walked around twice, and when they were sure that the surroundings were safe and sound, they saw people passing by?

I wanted to receive them well and let them go, but after thinking about it, ordinary people would not haunt it at such a late hour, not to mention that this is still outside the customs, even if it is a refugee, they will not rush into the customs overnight? Besides, they don't look like refugees in what they dress?

This is also the object that attracted the attention of the Ming Shun army, the general banner of the Dashun Miyun Guard: Lin Pingwu, originally a Ming general, he knew that there must be something strange for the people to walk at night during the period when he was stationed in the Miyun Guard of Beizhili? He stopped the people under the pretext of inspecting them, and asked, "Where are you residents?" Why did you rush into customs overnight? ”

The people were a little frightened, and they all bowed their heads and replied, "We are the residents of the reserve palace in Quang Ninh outside the Guan, because of the turmoil!" I can't wait for the east to go south to loot again, so I have to travel a long way to enter the customs. ”

Despite this, the general banner of the Dashun Miyun guard still ordered to be checked one by one to prevent any spies from getting involved, but unexpectedly, when the Ming Shun army searched his body, the general soldier of Dashun Miyun suddenly came over and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Dashun Miyun Guard General Banner truthfully reported the situation to him, mistakenly thinking that it was nothing big for the people to rush into the customs, so he also ordered the switch to be released, and the people were grateful and thankful.

Then they crowded into the barracks, the people looked around, and then quickened their pace and left, Dashun Miyun saw that it was late and went back to the military tent to rest, leaving only the Ming Shun army who patrolled the night to stick to his post.

About half a pillar of incense time passed, and the Ming Shunjun standing on the outpost tower of the military camp seemed to smell a pungent smell? Ming Shunjun, who was standing guard, hurriedly beckoned to the soldiers on the opposite guard tower and asked loudly, "Have you smelled any strange smell?" ”

I saw that the soldier nodded and sniffed in the direction of the smell, and found that something was wrong? What ...... is this smell?

It's the smell from the Huotou camp, and the smell is relatively strong, what should be burned? When I looked at it, I found that there were actually fires in other places?

It makes them feel very weird! In a hurry, they opened their mouths to shout, but before they could exit, they were shot from a distance by arrows that pierced their throats and fell off the watchtower and died. ”

As soon as he shouted, he immediately sent a lot of arrows into the barracks, wearing the chain mail and armor on the transparent Shun army, not only that, but the arrows were also on fire, which quickly caused a burst of raging fire in the barracks.

Immediately afterwards, you can clearly see that outside the Dashun military camp, within a hundred paces, a well-equipped cavalry with armor and horses all over the body is lined up, holding a three-eyed gun in his hand and starting to ignite and shoot (bang, bang, bang) lead bullets are scattered and evenly into the camp tent like a swarm.

Then you can also see a row of eight-petal hats and helmets, wearing black iron chain mail, holding various shields? Some of them are more famous; Tiger Head Fire Card, Tiger Head Wood Card, and God-type Fierce Fire Knife Card, these shields are not ordinary shields!

All are made of bamboo, the shape is a long pentagonal, the front shield is painted with the pattern of the tiger's opening, there is a hole in the tip of the tiger's mouth is the outlet for placing the firecracker, from the mouth of the firebolt to the tail of the shield are wrapped in skin, leaving only a small hole to fill the gunpowder.

The leather cover quiver behind the shield is equipped with a number of rockets, because the fire gun is wrapped in skin all over the body, so as long as the powder room is not damp, it can basically achieve the general effect of water and land warfare.

And this group of Ming soldiers approached the barracks step by step with shields, and the unaware Ming Shun soldiers stood up and raised their guns to shoot, and all the lead bullets that came over were blocked by the shields, but they could hear the impact sound of (bells, bells, bells).

Behind the Mingning Yuanwei General Banner, wearing silver-white waist-length armor and a red-tasseled iron-pointed hat: Luo Wengeng, pulled out his scimitar and shouted, "Charge!" ”

With this order, the Ming soldiers of Ning Yuanwei quickly rushed forward, and only when they reached fifty meters outside the enemy camp did they put down their shields and began to load and ignite.

The Ming Shun army, who didn't know what they meant, saw that there was a Ming army approaching outside the camp tent, so they lined up to release arrows, but before they had time to shoot, they saw a lot of lead bullets coming from the tiger's mouth of the opponent's shield, and the sound was particularly loud, and all the shots hit the Ming Shun army, which made the general soldiers of Dashun Miyun wonder if they had encountered the elite Ming army?

At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry with the Vermilion Bird Banner and the Gaozhao banner changed the "Fire Dragon Lance" on their backs, put away the three-eyed guns and began to fight, like a flame-like blade, with the head of the dragon tongue, the fire dragon gun became extremely sharp, and it could penetrate the general armor and kill people with one move.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry relied on the fire dragon spear to quickly ride and rush into the barracks, taking advantage of the fire to slash and kill the Ming Shun army, almost slaughtering them all together, and there was no Ming Shun army as their opponent at all.

This move allowed the general soldier of Dashun Miyun to discover the identity of the opponent's army through the firelight in the distance, and he shouted, "Which army should I be?" It turned out to be the arrival of the famous Liaodong Metropolitan Si Guanning Iron Cavalry, no wonder the combat effectiveness is so strong! It seems that if our army does not retreat, I am afraid that we will die here. ”

So the general army of Dashun Miyun asked the trumpeter to beat Mingjin, and he led the Ming Shun army to retreat to the direction of Shanhaiwei overnight with the commander's flag and tooth flag.

Looking at the Ming Shun army fleeing in embarrassment, it couldn't help but worry the generals such as the general army of the Ming Ning Yuanwei and the commander of the Ming Guangning Qiantun Guard! Especially the third brother Ming Guangning, the former reserve of Yu Qianhu was the first to speak: "Second brother, you are open-minded and sent troops to attack with the eldest brother, will you anger Dashun because of this?" Causing Dashun to be suspicious of us and unfavorable to the Wu clan? ”

In the face of the third brother's reminder, the general soldier of Ming Ning Yuanwei also thought of it, but now he has a way to deal with it, because he didn't want to surrender to Dashun willingly, and he can surrender with confidence when he is angry.

After the fold was written, they sent people to the capital quickly, and the three brothers also led the army to camp near Balipu, intending to wait for dawn to cross the mountain and sea guard and enter the customs.

The next day, the Dashun Emperor in the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City: Li Zicheng, who had just walked out of the imperial gate of the Imperial Palace after the early dynasty, received an urgent letter from the Dashun Tongzheng Secretary: Zhao Junlin?

The first time I received a letter from an official of the General Administration Department, it naturally made Emperor Dashun excited! He wondered if it was a congratulatory event from officials from all over the world. Or maybe the Ming officials in that place surrendered to Dashun again? Anyway, he didn't think about the worst.

But when he opened the letter with excitement, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak? I saw that it said emergency military intelligence? It turned out that this was a border war report, but it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Sure enough, the letter said that the Oirat, the Mongols and the Shuote tribe joined forces with the garrison of the Duogan Xingdusi to invade Xiningwei, Yongchangwei and other places, and the western Yarkand Khanate led an army to attack the Shaanxi Xingdusi and occupied the Dusi Mansion and the guards in the area under its jurisdiction.

After reading the letter, Emperor Dashun was very angry, he immediately tore up the battle report and shouted: "Spread my will, quickly go to the emperor's gate, and I will personally order the generals to go out to quell the turmoil in the west." ”

At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a yellow coat and a dark blue xia curtain bottoms walked over in the distance, embroidered with a phoenix jade pendant with a jade pendant embroidered with emerald gold and a jade pendant from the costume pattern, and walked over with her hands on her chest and saluted, "Concubine body, see Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty is angry?" ”

The Dashun Tong Political Secretary next to him saw that it was Dashun Dou Meiyi, the new favorite of His Majesty Emperor Shun, and he hurriedly saluted and said, "The minister has seen Dou Meiyi!" ”

Immediately he retreated to Emperor Dashun to negotiate with Dou Meiyi, as soon as he saw his beloved come out to participate in state affairs, it stands to reason that normal emperors will be angry, after all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! This is a manifestation of preventing them from taking the opportunity to win over their power and become bigger.

But Emperor Dashun didn't resist at all, anyway, he thought that it was a matter of course for his concubine to share his worries? Listening to her words, she casually sent a few generals to quell the rebellion, and mobilized the Marquis of Dashun Yi: Zhang Nai, and the Marquis of Dashun Qi: He Zhen, and the two led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to perform the flag ceremony, and then went out of the outer city of the imperial capital to the Guangning Gate.

At this moment, in an abandoned firewood room in the mansion of the former Ming Guozhang Zhou, there is something covered with a white cloth? Judging by the body shape, it should be a corpse? I don't know how long the corpse had been here, and there were many mosquitoes and flies trying to pick it up.

Even though it was covered by the cloth, there were still many mosquitoes staying on the cloth, and somehow the cloth suddenly moved? The mosquito subconsciously flew up, buzzing in the air along with the flies.
