Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"What are you doing!" The soldier was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Some will be eaten in a while." However, Li Sangou did not stop, but accelerated the speed of swallowing, and the small piece of dough had been put for two days, it was dry and hard, and it choked Li Sangou's throat, but Li Sangou still swallowed it quickly.
The soldier just shook his head when he looked at him, but he didn't say anything more, in fact, Li Sangou might not be able to understand what he said. He waited until Li Sangou finished eating, then pulled out a bamboo tube from his waist, pulled out a plug on it, and handed it to Li Sangou.
Li Sangou was startled, and couldn't help but take a step back.
The soldier said with a smile on his face: "Water, drink some water, don't choke to death." ”
It's just that this soldier has a long purple-red scar on his face, extending from the corner of his right eye to the corner of his left mouth, and this smile, this long scar suddenly writhes like a purple-red centipede, which looks very scary. Li Sangou couldn't understand the soldier's official dialect with a Fujian accent, and when he saw the writhing scar, he was so frightened that he suddenly knelt on the ground. shouted straight out of his mouth: "The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life!" ”
"Xiaodao, I told you a long time ago, just your face, don't laugh, don't laugh, you just don't listen! You see, it's scary again, right? A white-skinned man next to him, who was half a step taller than ordinary people, carried the gun with a bayonet on his shoulder, pushed away the scar that was about to come over and pull Li Sangou up, and then pulled Li Sangou up.
"Fellow, you are from Shanxi, right? Listen to the accent. I am also from Shanxi, and I am from Taiyuan. We're fellow countrymen! Brother, where are you from? With only one hand, the big man pulled Li Sangou up from the ground with a slight pull, so much so that he almost had both feet off the ground. The big man didn't care about this, he just spoke vigorously, fortunately, Li Sangou understood what he said, but this soldier spoke too fast, so he couldn't open his mouth at all.
"Brother, you have suffered! Look at your bones, a big man, the whole body is combined, I'm afraid it's not sixty pounds, right? It's so miserable to be pitted by Jianxin! Okay, okay, now you're lucky, meet us, you're transferred! Come on, fellow, take a sip of water, and then go to the back to line up, someone will arrange for you, and you will have a good life in the future! Hahaha! As he spoke, the big man handed the bamboo tube filled with water to Li Sangou.
Li Sangou was a little hesitant and didn't dare to take it, so the big man said: "What's the matter, the fellow gave you water, and you still don't drink it?" Don't you want to recognize me as a fellow? ”
Li Sangou had to take a small sip and handed the bamboo tube back to the big man. The big man took the bamboo tube and slapped him on the shoulder again, almost slapping him straight into the ground.
Li Sangou vaguely thanked the big man, and then followed the crowd and crossed the earthen wall.
After crossing the earthen wall, the model soldiers who led the group made them wait there, until they had gathered enough 100 men, and then someone led them further back......
Such a population. The return has lasted for more than ten days, and those who are sent back are generally screened first, and then sent to Niuzhuang Fort for recuperation, and then loaded onto ships and shipped to, no, it should be sent to Taiwan and Luzon.
These days both sides were not idle, the Qing army reorganized the defense, they urgently repaired the broken city walls, dried the gunpowder, and dug the powder store, grain storehouse in the ground. On the one hand, several golden cannons were transferred from the navy during this time - crucible steel rifled guns (the shooting accuracy of this thing can already ensure the needs of counter-battery operations); On the one hand, earthwork was carried out, and a number of tunnels were excavated leading to the Qing army fortress, which could not be further dug under the city walls because of the deep moat outside the fortress, but the attack from here at least reduced the time of exposure to Qing artillery fire.
And because the fortress itself is located on the river, it is fairly easy to bring in the water, you just need to dig the trench wide and deep. So this moat is also wider and deeper than the normal moat. The moat is almost five zhang wide, and it is difficult to build a springboard on such a wide river, but fortunately, the river does not flow quickly, so it can still be filled in by filling in the soil. Tunnels can also greatly reduce casualties when filling moats.
Just as the two sides were preparing, the imperial court's envoy finally came. Fu Lehe, the representative of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, met in the barracks of the Model Army with Zhang Yu, a member of the household department, who represented the Ming court.
In the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhang Yu was originally just a small promotion in the household department, and he was just a petty official of the eighth grade. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he didn't care about such a small official like a sesame mung bean. But Zhang Yu was quite careful, when Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he collected relevant information about Li Zicheng, and later participated in the matter of connecting all the soldiers and horses anyway, plus he was Ma Shiying's fellow countryman, so he was promoted and became a director of the household department, jumping from the eighth product to the sixth product. Now the outsider from the fifth grade on his body was temporarily promoted when he was ordered to go out of Beijing this time.
Sending a guy who was originally not born on the right path, who was originally just an eight-rank petty official, was temporarily promoted as a messenger, this actually quite shows the sincerity of Zhao'an in the Ming Dynasty. To put it more clearly, such a five-grade master, even if he dies in the Manchu Dynasty, everyone will not be too distressed.
However, now the Manchu intelligence system in Beijing has suffered a lot of losses in the process of Li Zicheng's occupation of Beijing and the subsequent recovery of Beijing, and their grasp of the situation in the DPRK and China is far less than before, so it is not easy for them to think about this from the identity of this angel. Of course, Hong Chengchou and the others were very familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty court, but he would not notice that such a petty official, who was originally only an eighth grade, would most likely regard him as a new promotion following Ma Shiying. Sending a five-grade official to talk about such a major event, although the grade is still a little lower, but considering the consistent arrogance of the Ming Dynasty, it is not incomprehensible.
Then it was time to arrange the negotiation between the angel and Huang Taiji. The two sides first talked about etiquette or something for a while, such as Huang Taiji's self-title, Huang Taiji's etiquette when he saw an angel, whether to bow openly (the Manchus were worried that this would greatly dampen their morale, in fact, they had been propagating below that they were just going to talk about peace) or something, and they pulled the skin for two days. In the end, an agreement was reached: in the city of the Angel Dao Jianzhou Department, go to tell those barbarians who have lost their way and returned. The barbarians naturally wanted to bow down to the Ming Emperor represented by the angels. It's just that the barbarian chieftain Huang Taiji is sick, and the Son of Heaven is merciful, so he is allowed to meet the angel on the sickbed, and he only needs to bow his hand.
