Chapter 582, Zhao'an (3)
That morning, for the first time in days, the two siege guns stopped firing. Because according to the Ming and Qing dynasties, no, it should be that the Ming army and the Jianzhou Ministry reached a temporary agreement, and the Ming army suspended the attack on the Qing army and waited for the latest decision made by the imperial court; At the same time, the Jianzhou Department returned 1,000 people who had been plundered from the Ming Dynasty to the Ming army every day.
At this time, it was already the end of the hour, and it was already the agreed time to return the thousand people. Zheng Sen, several staff officers and generals, and an envoy from the Jianzhou Department all ascended the lookout and looked over there.
"It's almost time, why hasn't it come yet? Shizi, should we fire a shot and urge them. Yu Xin put down the telescope in his hand, squinted at Fu Lehe, the envoy of the Jianzhou Ministry, but said this to Zheng Sen.
"Shizi." Fu Lehe hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please delay for a while, my state ministry will definitely keep my promises." ”
Zheng Sen didn't make a sound, just looked in the direction of the hot air balloon. In fact, the hot air balloon had already given a signal, and they had already seen that the people from the Jianzhou Department were restraining a group of people and were ready to take them out.
After another quarter of an hour, the people on the lookout also saw a group of Qing soldiers coming from the side of the fortress with a group of ragged people. They came to a halt at the barbed wire fence, fifty paces outside the third lane. Then a group of soldiers from the Model Army came up to them, and they made a small opening in the barbed wire, and then began to put them in groups of ten.
Li Sangou is also among the Han Mins who have been returned. He was plundered out of the border two years ago. One of his elder brothers died on the way out, and his wife was also snatched away, and he still doesn't know where he is. Then he was assigned to Zhenghongqi and coated a banner man named Dashan in a Zhuangzi. Last winter, I was almost killed for meat. In the spring of this year, he was brought in to build an earthen wall or something.
In the past two days, there have been rumors in the coating, and for a while it is said that the military rations are insufficient, and the old men of the Eight Banners want to kill them and pickle them as dry food; After a while, he said that during the counterattack, he would drive them to the front, so that he could withstand the guns of the Ming army; After a while, there were rumors about ....... In short, there are basically nothing good to do - this is also natural, what other good things can the old men of the Eight Banners do?
On this morning, the old men of the Eight Banners really gathered them together, saying that they were going to send them back to Daming. The coats naturally didn't believe it, and some people couldn't help but guess that this "sending you back to Daming" meant "sending you back to your hometown", Li Sangou also felt that his days were probably coming to an end.
However, the strange thing is that Li Sangou and the other coats did not have any thoughts of resisting. Not even the thought of running away came to him. This is actually not surprising, because they are too thin now, let alone resist, and even escape, they are beyond their strength. In addition, to resist or escape, you also need a person who can lead, but there is no character who can convince the crowd in these coats. Last but not least, there must be a strong desire to survive in order to carry out such an operation. But after a few years of torture, the coats generally felt that death was not necessarily a bad thing, and maybe it was better than being alive. For example, Li Sangou faintly had a strange expectation of death. After hearing the news that he might die tomorrow, he almost felt a sense of relief.
However, the situation was better than he imagined, they were really taken out and went towards the side of the Ming army, and the old men of the Eight Banners did not force them to rush to the camp of the Ming army with knives and guns, but only took them to stop in front of the barbed wire fence. A few bannermen walked over, and the one who took the lead was a white armor. They first drew their knives from their waists, held them high for the other side to see, and then threw them on the ground so that the other side could see that they had no ill intentions.
There were also a few people on the other side, but their dress was completely different from the Ming army in Li Sangou's impression. The soldiers were all armed with muskets, and they were dressed in gray-green shorts, (in fact, cloth masks) were all tall and strong, and their every move was crisp and neat.
"Probably whose general's family is this?" Li Sangou thought so. As a Baoyi, Li Sangou, like other Baoyi, didn't know much about the situation, and he knew at most that during this period of time, the Eight Banners didn't seem to have won many battles, but they knew very little about the opponents who defeated the Eight Banners.
Seeing a few model army soldiers open a small opening in the wire fence, the Eight Banners soldiers hurriedly asked these wrappers to come over. It's just that they don't immediately take people in, but put five or five people inside, and when five people go in, someone comes and searches them, presumably to prevent spies from mixing in with weapons, and then looking for an opportunity to make trouble.
After searching, these five people were taken behind the earthen wall, and after a while, there were five more, and after a while, seeing that the sun was at the top, it gradually went to the south, and then it was Li Sangou's turn. Li Sangou and a few other coats entered the wire fence together, and then stood still like the people in front, and a few people came to search them, but Li Sangou was a little nervous, because although he didn't have any swords on his body, but in his broken jacket, there was still a small piece of bread, which he had stolen out at the risk of helping in the gang a few days ago, and hid it in the jacket, and he was reluctant to eat it, and only pinched a little powder out and licked it when he was very hungry.
Sure enough, the man-searching soldier soon discovered that there was something hard inside his jacket. Without saying a word, the soldier took out his dagger, made another big cut on Li Sangou's cherished torn jacket, and then took out the small half of the dough from it. The soldier stared at the bread, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then furrowed his nose and eyebrows, which were wrinkled several times.
"It's all broken, what are you doing with it? We, even dogs, don't eat this. As he spoke, the soldier threw the little piece of bread to the ground.
Li Sangou couldn't understand the soldier's official words, he saw that the soldier threw the small bread on the ground, and wanted to pick it up, but looking at the musket in the soldier's hand, and the bright bayonet on the musket, he was a little afraid, hesitated and didn't dare to pick it up. He hesitated, but saw the soldier beckoning in that direction.
Li Sangou had been watching their body searches just now, and knowing this wave of his hand, someone would come and take them behind the earthen wall, and then the cake would really not be able to pick up. He was immediately anxious, and seeing that the soldier was not looking at him, he bowed his head, rushed forward, and threw himself to the ground, grabbing the small piece of bread from the ground with both hands and stuffing it into his mouth.
