Chapter 465: Bear Hunting
When the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived outside the city of Shenyang, they first set up camp on the spot and surrounded the city.
There were less than 10,000 Qing soldiers left behind, and everyone knew at this moment that they were already at the end of their crossbows, and the once powerful Manchu people were about to end their history in the capital they had captured.
In order to prevent the barbarians from the north from coming to King Qin, Du Yinxi ordered a heavy army to defend the north of the city, especially the Horqin Department still has a considerable number of troops at this time, and it is very likely that they will come back to rescue their relatives.
The Mongolian tribes belonged to Horqin and the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the best relationship, and they were also the first Mongolian tribes to fall to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The fortifications of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the north of the city were extremely deep and had reached the area of the Liao River.
Two creeps were digging in the earth when they suddenly discovered a large hole, and one of the creeps fell into the hole with a thud.
"Damn, which bastard with a thousand knives dug a big hole here?"
The little soldier next to him lit up, squatted aside and said: "This eighty percent is a beast hole, I heard people say that the north is too cold, and there are many wild beasts that will dig a hole and come out when it is warm." When I look at such a big hole, eighty percent of them are blind bears. We just waited for them to come out, and we shot them and roasted them to eat. ”
"Let's report to Lord Baihu first."
The hundred households in this team who were ordered here, named Gao Yun, were a little moved by their words, although they were not short of food and grass, but they had never eaten such a thing as a bear's paw.
These people are all from Huguang, and they can't tell where they have seen this kind of beast cave. Fortunately, someone had an idea, and set up a lot of traps at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the stupid bear to throw himself into the net. There are Manchu villages nearby, and these people are all Manchus who invaded here, and it is important to know that this place was the territory of Han Chinese in the past. After Du Yinxi arrived, he directly ordered a killing ring, anyway, these people's hands were stained with blood, you must know that the millions of Han people in Liaodong were all killed by hundreds of thousands of Manchurians.
Almost all of the Manchu families here have a large number of Han slaves, who have been plundered by them from Jifu, Shandong and other places. Now after being rescued, he will be resettled in the army, do some logistics work, and wait for the victory to return to his hometown together. With the help of these Han Chinese, they quickly got a lot of hunting traps.
Gao Baihu gave an order and sent two crooked melons and cracked dates under his command to hunt bears. Before leaving, they told them that they couldn't swallow the bear by themselves, otherwise they wouldn't be spared.
The two of them nodded and bowed, and happily came to the big cave to set up the mechanism.
"Lao Li, are you okay with this thing?"
"Hehe, as soon as this thing is kept, it is hung up as soon as it is stepped on. No bear can escape, no matter how big it is. You're looking at this clamp, even the iron palm will break it for you. ”
"Don't break the pincers, you must know that the best thing for a blind bear is that pair of claws."
"Zhang Ergou, why are you talking so much nonsense, otherwise you came?"
"Hey, hey, you come, you come."
The east wind blew to Shenyang City with warmth, but the Qing people inside could not feel the slightest warmth.
The siege outside the city was like an iron bucket, and there were at least 100,000 troops around the place, and many more were arriving in the back.
How did the once invincible Manchurian iron cavalry become vulnerable, Da Yu'er couldn't figure out what the weak Han army had experienced and turned into this invincible army.
If she had the opportunity to consult Hou Xuanyan now, the latter would definitely be merciful and tell him that there was nothing else, just because of money.
"Fan Wencheng asks to see."
"Hurry up, please." Da Yu'er, who was holding Fu Lin in her arms, grabbed the last straw like a drowning blade, and said urgently.
Fan Wencheng was even more haggard than Da Yu'er, and he knew that the people outside the city hated him the most, and then the Manchu royal family.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Ming army outside the city has surrounded us layer by layer, and now we can only have a chance to escape by holding Shengjing and waiting for the Eight Banners from all over Manchuria to come for reinforcements."
"I don't run away, I am a descendant of Nurhachi, I will not be chased by the Han people and flee for my life, I will drive the expedition in person."
Born in the deep palace, Xiao Fulin, who grew up in the hands of a woman, didn't know the cruelty of the world, and shouted loudly thinking that he was very imposing, but was dragged down by his mother, and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Fan, do we still have King Qin's soldiers and horses?" ”
When Fan Wencheng heard this familiar name, he almost burst into tears, once Huang Taiji called himself like this.
"The Queen Mother can rest assured, there are so many warriors in our Qing Dynasty, how can we sit back and watch Shengjing being surrounded and unable to come to support."
Da Yu'er calmed down for a moment and shouted, "My son, go to the city with Mr. Fan to guard our Shengjing." ”
Fan Wencheng wiped his eyelids and said: "Queen Mother, the most important thing to defend the city is to have enough baggage, the subordinate officials have no power to restrain the chicken, they can't shoot a bow, they can't lift a gun, but they are willing to distribute grain and grass for the soldiers defending the city, and ensure that they will hold on until the arrival of King Qin's military horses." ”
"Okay, well, when we arrived at this time, we knew that Mr. Fan was the most reliable person, and when the Ming army was repelled in the future, we must make Mr. Fan the king." Da Yu'er also offered a price casually, as if the prince was like a cabbage on the side of the road.
Fan Wencheng kowtowed, called himself a slave for the first time, and bowed down.
The little emperor was supported by the guards and climbed the city tower as he wished, but looking at the black pressure of the people and horses under the city, he was full of pride and suddenly lost his pride, and his legs were so frightened that he fell to the city tower.
The guards around him hurriedly helped him up, and Fu Lin, who was wearing armor, looked at the army outside the city with dull eyes, trembling all over. Let him boost morale, but make the Qing soldiers even more desperate.
After Fan Wencheng returned home, he took an old Han slave and returned to a rockery in the inner courtyard. Then he ran to the inner courtyard and brought out his beautiful wife, as well as his youngest son Fan Chengbin.
When the lady saw an old slave there, she covered her mouth and screamed, and was slapped in the face by Fan Wencheng.
"Sir?" Fan Wencheng's beautiful daughter-in-law covered her cheeks, looking puzzled.
"What's it called? Dig up the secret passage, it's time to go. ”
First, a strong servant snorted, spat on his hand, rubbed his hands and moved them vigorously, and a black hole appeared in front of them.
"Sir, what is this?" Mrs. Fan covered her cheeks, tears in the corners of her eyes, and surprises rippled.
"Hmph, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, since the battle of Jingxiang, I expected that there would be today, and in the past four years, I have let Lao Lai stay in Shengjing and dug a secret passage to the outside of the city. I have already gone to the palace and instigated the little emperor to go up to the city tower, and the queen mother and the little emperor will not think of us for a while. They must have been staring at the Emperor on the castle tower, so we took this opportunity to escape. ”
Mrs. Fan's slender waist turned, and she said with a smile on her face: "It's still the old man's name, and the concubine will go back to clean up the softness." ”
Fan Wencheng was furious, slapped her on the buttocks, and shouted: "When is it, still pack up softly, the fewer things you bring, the better it is to escape, let's go!" ”
"My jewelry. Ouch.."
Mrs. Fan was slapped on the ass again, so she reluctantly gave up her softness and followed Fan Wencheng into the tunnel, with her nine-year-old son behind her.
Fan Wencheng turned his head and said to Lao Lai, who was still outside: "Let's go, everything in the house is yours, you are a subordinate to find a place to hide, and the Ming army will not embarrass you." ”
Lao Lai nodded heavily, with tears on his old face, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Master, madam, young master, take care all the way." ”
Entering the tunnel, Fan Wencheng led his son to walk in front, and Mrs. Fan nervously followed behind Fan Wencheng, pulling his clothes. It was dark in it, and the darkness made me panic, and I said as I walked: "Master, our family property is so cheap that old man, what will we eat after we go out." And the jewelry of the concubine's body..."
"Shut up! Hmph, our family property has long been transported out by me, and Chengyin and Chengmo are in the care. When we got out, the family was reunited and fled north. It was dark in the tunnel, and Fan Wencheng was also a little flustered, and deliberately talked to his wife to strengthen his courage. Fan Chengyin, Fan Chengmo is his two sons, and he has been placed in the Heishui Valley in northern Xinjiang by relying on the convenience of his position earlier.
"Ah, that old slave knows that our house is empty, so he won't report us, right?"
"I've poisoned his food, he won't survive tonight, I buried explosives under the rockery when I left, and when the incense burns to the lead, it will explode and ignite, and then our Fan Mansion will be in flames, and the only old man who knows is also dead, we can hide outside incognito for a few years. When the new dynasty is decided in the future, we will return to the Central Plains and settle down with the wealth in our hands. ”
"Master, you're still amazing."
