The morning mist has gradually dissipated, and the reddish sunlight is listlessly shining on the tower of Binh Duong City. The soldiers had just finished breakfast in the city when they saw about a thousand Qing soldiers running over on horseback.

"Dog's day, it's really powerful, and it's not too tired." The archer Zhang Erbao glanced down and said, he knew that those Jianqi would definitely stop outside the range of the bow and arrows, so he let the bow lean against the female wall, but did not pick it up.

"Wu Sangui is unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial......" Sure enough, the Qing soldiers below stopped outside the range of bows and arrows and muskets, and then more than a dozen loud voices stood up and scolded together.

"Grandma's, scolding and scolding are all like this, nothing new at all." The sword and shield soldier Wang Changsheng also walked over and said, "Well, the next sentence should be scolded for the handsome is a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

"Wu Sangui's father is self-aware, and he gave him a good name, called Sangui, which is three times the tortoise! This first is the shrunken turtle! The old man is standing here, even if he brings 10,000 people out, the old men are also these 1,000 people, he wins, the old man will withdraw his troops, Wu Sangui, do you dare to go out of the city with a shrunken turtle......"

"Then it's time to talk about Li Zicheng and ......," Zhang Erbao said.

"Shut up!" A hand reached over and patted Zhang Erbao's helmet, "This kind of bastard can also be learned?" ”

Zhang Erbao helped his helmet, turned his head, and saw that it was Wu Chang Zhang Deguang, so he smiled and said, "Wu Chang, let's not talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." Anyway, what about the scolder on our side? Why can't you get it yet? ”

"People are squatting in the thatched pit, so you can't help but let them squat in the thatched pit, right? It's coming soon, it's coming! Zhang Deguang glanced at the city and said: "Hu Er learned the Han language, but scolded the Han people to the city. Ma Ma split, when the people of Lao Tzu come up, let you know that it is amazing! ”

It is said that when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he sent the general Liu Zongmin to raid Wu Sangui's big turtle's home, but Wu Sangui, the turtle's son, is usually greedy and perverts the law, eats empty salaries, drinks the blood of soldiers, and is greedy for countless money, not to mention, and asks for a group of little wives. It's ridiculous that Wu Sangui was in Daling River back then, and was chased and beaten by my Qing Dynasty, and twelve Baylors shot an arrow that damaged his . Speech. Child. From then on......" the city beneath the gin continued to shout.

At this time, a fat man came up from the city on his feet, and as soon as he came up, he said, "Is there any end to it?" Came so early! Someone handed him a copper-skinned trumpet-shaped tube, and the fat man took it, put it to his mouth, and took a sharp breath, and the people around him suddenly jumped away together.

A loud bang erupted from the fat man's mouth, and it seemed that the shockwave that formed when he shouted could be seen with all his eyes. The voices of the more than a dozen Jianqi under the city were suddenly suppressed by him alone. Zhang Erbao took another half step to the side, then turned to Zhang Deguang and said, "Captain Wu, what is this Mongolian Tartar talking about?" ”

Yes, it was a Mongol who was shouting at the city. In fact, there have always been many Mongols in the army of my Ming Dynasty, and even many important generals are Mongols. For example, when Jin approached Jingshi for the first time two years after Chongzhen, Man Gui, who died in the defense of Beijing, was a Mongol. (However, Mangui himself has always claimed to be an authentic Han Chinese) and in the Guanning army, there were also many Mongols.

The fat man naturally shouted in Mongolian to the bottom. So Zhang Erbao naturally couldn't understand it, but Zhang Deguang also understood Mongolian, so he translated in unison on the side: "I'm talking about the adultery between the old slave's woman Abahai and the old slave's eldest son Daishan, hmm...... Very exciting, very exciting......"

Zhang Deguang obviously listened attentively, and he didn't care about explaining it to Zhang Erbao anymore. And the Jianxuan under the city also seemed to be angry, and some people even wanted to rush over and shoot an arrow, but unfortunately they were pulled by someone.

Many years later, through the Imperial Compulsory Literacy Campaign, Zhang Erbao recognized some words, and then he saw a strange book with some very. Strong. The content of the explosion seems to be what he heard in Pingyang City back then, the book is called "Jin. Bottle. May.

Dolgon was actually unwilling to attack Pingyang City at all, he didn't bring cannons, and he didn't have a stable supply of food and grass, how could he fight such a city? If you can catch some more Han people, you may be able to drive them to attack the city, but most of the villages around Pingyang City are empty, and there is no one in them. Occasionally, it is too little to catch a few people and send them back to the customs to be used as a coat and plant, so naturally it is impossible to waste it on the siege.

Dolgon calculated, since entering the customs, the military has been relatively smooth, but the things he grabbed are far less than the previous ones. The people who came with him were quite unhappy, especially those Mongolians, who often shouted that there were too few things to grab, and this trip was too cost-effective to enter the customs.

After discussing with Azig and Haug, Dorgon sent people to challenge him every day. Wu Sangui naturally closed his door, and only let people drink and scold them in the city. Dolgon knew that Wu Sangui and other people would never be fooled just because he was scolded twice, so he couldn't make a plan, and he made another plan. But he made the appearance of going south around Pingyang, wanting to deceive Wu Sangui out of the city. But Wu Sangui was such a cunning guy, he knew that Dolgon didn't dare to really leave himself behind and go south directly. Because Dolgon's loot not too much, but it was not too much, it was impossible for him to march with them all the time, because this would not only slow down the march, but also allow a large number of troops to be used for guarding duties, so that the forces that could actually be put into battle would be reduced. Moreover, the population accompanying the army will also consume more of the hard-won food. Therefore, for a long time, when the Qing army entered the customs and plundered, they were constantly sending the captive population out of the customs while plundering. So in fact, they have always had a principle in their actions, that is, to keep the road to the outside of the gate basically open. At this time, if you bypass Binh Duong, it is difficult to say whether the back road can be kept smooth. If it was a guy like Jiang Jiu who was hiding in Pingyang City, Dolgon didn't have to worry too much, but Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun were different. Although Guan Ningjun is famous for liking to sell his teammates, to be honest, in the Ming army, except for the model army that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the Guan Ningjun in Wu Sangui's hands is indeed the most capable of fighting. Moreover, Wu Sangui himself is also a very capable general, if it is the main force of the field against Dolgon, he may not be able to get benefits, but if it is just a small army of the Qing army, there is no problem at all. In addition, Wu Sangui left another army to defend Fenglingdu, and it was difficult for Dolgon to break through to Henan easily, so Wu Sangui was not worried about the Qing army bypassing him at all, and this move naturally did not make Wu Sangui fooled. In the end, Dolgon could only leave an army of about 10,000 people near Pingyang City to monitor Wu Sangui, and then let the other armies plunder as far as possible.

Because of Wu Sangui's containment, the efficiency of the Qing army's looting after entering the customs was much lower. In the end, the Qing army only gained more than 80,000 people, which is much less than hundreds of thousands each time after the previous invasions. And the Jin merchants provided Dolgon with a message: the Ming army had conquered Xiangyang, and Li Zicheng's life and death were unknown. Dolgon felt that it would be impossible to continue the confrontation with Wu Sangui in Pingyang, and in September of that year, he began to gradually retreat outside the pass. Wu Sangui followed Dolgon with his army, and kept reporting to the imperial court all the way, declaring which cities he had recovered.

"You're Bull Venus?" Zheng Sen sat in the hall and looked at a short man with a simple face kneeling below and asked.

"Sinners are bull Venus." Niu Venus replied.

"Supposedly, you opened the city gate of Xiangyang, which can be regarded as a meritorious service." Zheng Sen sneered, "It's just Prime Minister Niu, you are the first person to be a thief, right?" ”

"Shizi, I'm ...... I was also coerced...... The prince promised sinners to atone for their sins......" Niu Jinxing saw that Zheng Sen's tone was not very good, and he only thought that he was going to break his promise, so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his head.

"Look at this, who can see that this is also a thief on the side of the trouble? It can be seen that the ancients said that people should not be disguised, and they should not be deceived by me! Zheng Sen didn't talk to Niu Jinxing, but turned his face to Kong Zhang.

"That's what the prince said." Kong Zhang nodded.

Zheng Sen turned his face again at this time and said, "Niu Jinxing, since I promised to keep your family from dying, I naturally won't break my word." But you can't use your name anymore, do you know what I mean? ”

When Niu Jinxing heard this, his face was immediately full of joy, and he kowtowed and cried again and again: "The sinner was originally favored by the emperor, but unfortunately fell into the hands of the thief, the son of the world defeated the traitor, rescued the sinner's family, and gave the sinner a chance to redeem his sins, saved the life of the sinner's family, and is really the reborn parent of the sinner." But the son of the world has commands, and the sinner dares to disobey? I don't know what the prince commands? ”

Zheng Sen said: "God has the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to kill more." But after all, the first emperor was forced to die by you. So you can't stay in the Ming Dynasty anymore. I'm going to exile you to Tianzhu, and from now on, you can't use your old name, you can change your name to me, do you understand? ”

Niu Jinxing kowtowed again: "Sinners understand, sinners understand!" ”

Zheng Sen turned his head again and said to Hui Shiyang, who was standing aside: "In order to quell the rebellion, the old gentleman did not hesitate to endure humiliation and burden, went deep into the tiger's den, and went around the head of the thief, doing things of division and disintegration, and finally avenged the first emperor. In the future, how can the history be written? I wonder what the old gentleman plans for the future? ”

Hui Shiyang also returned the courtesy: "I don't want the prince to say this, the old minister is deeply favored by the emperor, and he can't repay him for his hatred." Today, I am lucky to be able to get rid of the giant for the imperial court, which is enough. Besides, the old man is now old, what else can he think? It's just that I want to go back to my hometown and spend my old age in peace. ”
