"It's getting better and better day by day!" Looking at the verdant wheat fields by the Daling River, Li Laifu showed a pleased smile. Speaking of which, Li Laifu's father was once a soldier of the Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang. After Li Yongfang surrendered to Houjin, Li Laifu's father also shaved his head and became a traitor. However, although Li Laifu's father followed Li Yongfang as a traitor, he didn't mix well, and he never got a chance to raise the flag. However, it was his son Li Laifu, who served as a scout in the Battle of Zunhua, made military exploits, was able to carry the flag, and became a glorious flag man. After that, Li Laifu followed the Qing army and participated in the Battle of the Daling River; When his sons grew up, they also joined the Eight Banners Army and followed the Eight Banners Army in the southern and northern wars. Over the years, two of his four sons have died, but the harvest has not been small. After the Battle of Jinzhou, the boss made another meritorious service, so he got a large area of good water and watering land by the Daling River, as well as seven or eight coatings. Now that the eldest and fourth have followed Huang Taiji to fight again, the affairs of this family are left to Li Laifu, who is in his fifties and can't fight.

The Zhuangzi where Li Laifu lives now was originally a military camp of the Guanning Army. The Zhuangzi was well built, the houses were tall and sturdy, the walls were very thick, and in winter, it was quite warm. And Zhuangzi also has a high wall, although this thing is of no serious use - when this Zhuangzi was in the hands of the Guanning army, this wall could not stop the Eight Banners Army, (although this Zhuangzi was abandoned, the wall actually did not work.) In the hands of the Eight Banners Army, is there anyone who can attack this Zhuangzi? However, Li Laifu still likes this high wall very much, in fact, not only Li Laifu likes it, but other banner people in Zhuangzi, such as Lao Baijia Tak Tan, also like this wall. Because in autumn and winter, the tall walls block the howling north wind. At this time, it is so comfortable to move a chair and sit under the leeward wall to bask in the sun.

There are now more than a dozen families in the huge Zhuangzi, all of whom are banner people. Most of the middle-aged men in their family followed Huang Taiji on the expedition, and now only a group of old men, women and children are left in the Zhuangzi, taking care of the lowly Han people and farming.

As soon as the sky was bright, Li Laifu drove those coats out of Zhuangzi to farm. Most of these Han people are greedy and lazy, and if they don't stare at it, they will only be lazy. However, although Li Laifu is old, his body is still strong, and he can still roll those lazy coats all over the ground when he wields a whip.

He drove them all to the field, then sat down at the gate of the village, squinted his eyes, and looked at the crops in the field for a while, and at the sparkling Daling River for a while. There is a road along the Daling River, which connects Jinzhou and this road and is no longer walked, but the road is not completely broken.

A group of cavalry came running from afar, and Li Laifu didn't pay much attention to it at first. He thought that most of these people were heralds in the banner or something. After all, how could there be any other team in this place? Moreover, the style of the armor worn by these cavalrymen is also the style of the Eight Banners cavalry. It's just that I don't know why, these cavalry did not come from the direction of Jinzhou, but from the east.

The cavalry slowly came over this way, Li Laifu stood up, he had already seen the armor on these cavalry, judging from the style of the armor on the cavalry that took the lead, it must be a white-armored soldier, and it may even be the personal guard of the Belle Lord. If such a team appears here, something big must have happened.

The cavalry got closer and closer, and at a distance of about two hundred paces from Zhuangzi, the cavalry began to slow down, and the leading few cavalrymen got off their horses, handed the reins to the cavalry next to them, and one of the bearded men at the head took out something that looked like a banner and shook it in this direction, and then walked towards Zhuangzi.

Li Laifu shouted in Manchu: "Which flag are you from?" Can I help you? ”

The white armor who took the lead over there also responded. However, he was downwind, so his answer was a little muffled and not very clear.

At this time, an old Tartar came out of the gate of Zhuangzi, this old Tartar was called Tak Tan, who was originally a white-armored soldier of the Zhenglan Banner, and he was also the old master of Li Laifu. Li Laifu saw Tak Tan and hurriedly said, "Master, someone is coming, it seems that he has sent an order." ”

Tak Tan glanced over there and said, "What kind of order can be passed on, so many people can be used?" That's about fifty or sixty people, right? But even so, Tak Tan actually didn't have any suspicions, because now this land is also the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, where can there be an enemy of this scale?

The team of horses was no more than a few dozen paces closer. The white armor who took the lead waved his hand, and everyone stopped. The white armor himself took the other two white armors and strode up, shouting as he walked: "Who of you is in charge here?" ”

Tak Tan glanced at Li Laifu, and then replied: "I am Tak Tan of the Blue Flag, and I have the final say in this Zhuangzi." ”

The bearded man listened and said, "It turned out to be the old brother of Tak Tan who is in the blue flag." The brothers are the Yellow Flag of Mount Buck. Yesterday afternoon, several felons escaped from Jinzhou, some people said that they watched him run along the river, I wonder if Brother Tackertan heard any movement last night? As he spoke, several people stepped forward.

"Who escaped? You're using such a big stance to arrest him? Taktan asked.

"Big brother." The bearded man paused, narrowed his eyes and squinted at Tucker Tan and said, "You see that my brother has brought so many people, can it be a simple matter?" Brother has a saying, there are some things, how these people who do things underneath, the less they know, the better. Do you say? ”

Tak Tan's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered the result of the old banner owner Mang Gurtai and his family, so he didn't dare to ask again, but replied honestly: "I didn't hear any movement last night. ”

The bearded man glanced inside through the village gate and said, "The brother is in a hurry, and he has not brought any papers." However, he was on official business, so he had to go to Zhuangzi to have a look, and he had to bother the old brother to call all the clothed minions outside. One by one, they let the brothers pass by. If the elder brother wants to read the paperwork, then it is okay. The elder brother first asked people to call those minions back to Zhuangzi, take care of them first, and wait for the brother to send someone to fetch the documents, show them to the elder brother, and then check them carefully. ”

Although according to the reasoning, this bearded man should take out the documents before he can search Zhuangzi. But Tak Tan was not suspicious, and he was still a little worried, if he delayed the time of this beard, this bearded man was not happy, and when the time came, he brought the papers, I was afraid that he would have to toss a lot, so he said: "Where is the need for such trouble?" But not afraid of delaying important things? So I will go and gather them together, and show them to my brothers, so that they may not be delayed. After saying this, Tak Tan turned his face again and said to Li Laifu: "You go and call back all the coats in the field." Hurry up and don't delay the Buck Hill brothers. ”

Li Laifu answered, and ran towards the field. In a short time, he called back more than 300 coats who were still working in the fields. At this time, Taktan had already gathered more than 100 old men, women, and children in the Zhuangzi. Stood on the threshing floor in the Zhuangzi.

"Everyone is here?" Bearded Buck Hill asked.

"It's all here." Taktan replied.

"Then I'll see." Buckshan nodded, and then he walked back and forth in the crowd, and from time to time he reached out to touch the top of the children's heads, and said a few words to their mothers with a smile, and then he used a leather whip to scare and scare those coats. He took a few people around the crowd slowly, and then walked out and said to Tuckertan, "Brother, you don't have it here." Brother will not delay much, the matter is urgent, we will go first. ”

Tak Tan also smiled and said: "Brother Buckshan, you have business, I won't keep you, I will invite you to drink when you have time to come here in the future." ”

Buckshan laughed when he heard this: "If you are free in the future, you must come to drink this glass of wine." As he spoke, he got on his horse. Dozens of other cavalrymen also mounted their horses.

Tak Tan watched Buck Hill get on his horse and waved his hand at him, but he heard Buck Hill suddenly say, "Brother, look over there......"

Tak Tan turned his head to look, but suddenly he felt the whole world spin all at once, and then he saw Buckshan with a knife in his hand, and under his horse, a headless corpse was falling, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

"Buckshan" took advantage of Taktan's turn to turn around, cut off his head with a knife, and then grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards the crowd, while shouting in Chinese: "Kneel on the ground and don't kill!" The same as above, the fifty or so cavalrymen also drew their swords and urged their horses to pounce on the unsuspecting crowd......

There were no men in the prime of life in Zhuangzi, except for Baoyi, most of them were old people, women and children. There were no weapons in his hands, and he could be said to have no ability to resist more than fifty armored cavalrymen. As for the 300 or so coats, if they had the will to resist resolutely without fear of death, they would not have become coats in the first place. So as soon as they heard others shouting "kneel on the ground and don't kill", many people knelt down directly, of course, there were also people with bad heads who ran around, and were chased by the cavalry and cut down a lot. In short, because Zhuangzi was surrounded by walls and the gate was held by the cavalry first, it was only a bag of cigarettes that all the people in Zhuangzi tried to resist were killed, and none of the others escaped. And the cavalry did not suffer any casualties.
