Chapter Forty-Six: Go and Ask Borhui

"What? Forgot about the big deal?! Ma Jiaolin and An Jingyan were taken aback.

If there is any improper operation, once there is a big chaos of mutiny, not only will they not be able to gain glory and wealth, but they will be crushed and die without a place to bury.

"Shave your head! The Qing soldiers are coming soon, and we haven't shaved our heads yet! ”

Hei Yunchang reminded him, and Ma Jiaolin and An Jingyan suddenly realized...... Shave your head, surrender to the Qing army must shave your head, in order to show the sincerity of submission, the so-called "money rat tail, is the new dynasty's elegant government, Eguan Bo belt, the bad rules of the country." "The Manchu masters were very strict with this, and there was no room for negotiation.

How to forget this big thing!

There are six or seven thousand horses under Ma Jiaolin, and there are also four or five thousand sailors under Hei Yunchang, so many people shave their heads together, but it will not be able to shave them in a while and a half.

"Damn, where are you going to find so many head shaving masters at this time?" Hei Yunchang shook his head: "If only I could shave my head, then the pig's tail is not good!" ”

The Manchu hairstyle is a money rat tail, the requirements are very strict, it is difficult for non-professionals to get it, everyone takes a razor to help each other, it is impossible. (In the braid play, because of the difficulty in makeup, and because the money rat tail is too ugly, it was all changed to a yin and yang head braid, but in the early Qing Dynasty, it was also necessary to cut off the head if you left that kind of yin and yang hairstyle.) )

"In this way, the civil and military officials above the seventh rank will shave their heads first, and then go together to meet the Qing soldiers, and the other officers and soldiers will wait in Yuezhou Mansion, and the time will be enough to shave their heads in the past few days......" Ma Jiaolin was quite anxious and wise, and came up with a good idea.

"Okay, that's it!" Hei Yunchang slapped his thigh and asked An Jingyan, "Lao An." How are you? It's okay to shave your head, right? ”

"This, this, this house has an itchy scalp lately, and I want to refresh myself......

An Jingyan was a jinshi during the Apocalypse, because of cowardice and incompetence, he became the prefect for half his life. Decades of officialdom ups and downs, he has seen everything, he has seen everything, his purpose is to slowly improve his qualifications, and if he can make some gray income, he will make a little money. But never stretch your hand too far so as not to get into trouble.

If it is changed in a peaceful and prosperous era, this kind of person generally lives a very nourishing life because of his good mentality, but An Jingyan in the troubled times can't help himself. Involved in this huge conspiracy to defect to the enemy...... Let him give up his life and sacrifice his life for the country. An Jingyan really didn't have the courage. But in my heart, I felt more or less guilty and ashamed.

"Itchy scalp" is an allusion in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Qian Qianyi was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Hongguang Dynasty, and was the leader of the Donglin Party at that time. He took the lead in shaving his head among the civil and military officials, and then surrendered the city...... An Jingyan quoted this allusion, which was somewhat self-deprecating, but Ma Jiaolin and Hei Yunchang were both military generals. I didn't hear the irony and helplessness in his words.

"Good, good, good, Lao An is a happy person!" Hei Yunchang stretched out his big hand, slapped An Jingyan's thin shoulder twice, slapped him crookedly, and said to Ma Jiaolin with great interest: "By the way, shave the head of Zhang's crooked neck too, and send it to Bolhui Zhangjing, you will definitely be able to ask for a lottery!" ”

The crooked neck of the chapter in his mouth is the prison army Dao Zhang Kuang.

After He Tengjiao led an army of 100,000 to flee back to Changsha, he did not see the Qing army attacking south for a long time, so he sent Zhang Kuang to the front line in Yuezhou to supervise military affairs, but he was detained by Ma Jiaolin and placed under house arrest in the barracks.

"It's not proper, Zhang Guan has a bad temper, if he shaves his head forcibly, he will definitely have to die or live to find a short-term opinion, in case he collides with Lord Boerhui again, it will not be beautiful." Ma Jiaolin refused.

Zhang Kuang is an important bargaining chip in his hand, he can ask the Manchu Qing for merit and reward, and he can bargain with He Tengjiao when he retreats, how can he share it with Hei Yunchang, An Jingyan and others......

……

Under the arrangement of Ma Jiaolin, Hei Yunchang and An Jingyan, the civil and military officials of Yuezhou Mansion shaved their heads overnight, and then rushed to Linxiang to meet the Manchu army.

Hei Yunchang was quite creative, he found a few Hufu from Youling, who was singing, and gave them to Ma Jiaolin and An Jingyan to wear, Ma Jiaolin and An Jingyan did not object, since they had shaved their heads, it was too awkward to wear Daming's crown and ribbon again, and there was an excitement to welcome a new life when they changed into this Hufu short dress.

Since the top bosses are not afraid of being ugly, of course, other civil and military officials have done the same, as if they are about to go down to the river to fish, they have also taken off their official uniforms and changed into short clothes......

There is a quick horse to report, a large army came in the direction of Yanglou Cave, everyone hurriedly went out of the city for 20 miles, ordered the people to clean the water and splash the street, the loess mat road, and lined up the colorful flags and honor guards, ready to welcome the ceremony.

There is also a report from the Malay, this army is flying the red flag of the Ming army, and the armor and clothing of the soldiers are also mixed, both the Qing army and the Ming army, and the scouts are so frightened that they dare not come forward to interrogate.

What's going on?

Everyone is puzzled, the Manchu "Wang Shi" weishenme wants to use the banner of the Ming army?

"Let's go and investigate, be careful, and see if there is a banner of the Qing Dynasty!" Ma Jiaolin's tone was very stern.

The scout turned around and got on his horse, but Hei Yunchang said with a big grin: "Ma Xietai don't worry, this must be our Qing soldiers, they won the battle, and they boasted about their achievements and showed off their achievements with the banner of the Ming army!" ”

"That's how it should be...... Be careful, though. ”

Ma Jiaolin was not at ease, and An Jingyan and other civil officials looked even more nervous.

The people waited in a panic for a long time, and finally saw the scout beating horse galloping towards him.

"It's the Qing soldiers, it's the Qing soldiers! I can see it clearly, they put away all the red flags, and show the banner of the Qing Dynasty, the flag of the Chinese army is a Bayala dragon flag, and there is a group of wounded Tartars...... No, no, the wounded Eight Banners, there are thousands of cavalry and horses, and the leading general is called Zu Kefa, a very kind person, and he also rewarded me with two taels of silver! ”

"Whew!"

Ma Jiaolin let out a long breath, although this scout was not clear, but it was generally right. Baya Lalong Banner is the battalion flag of the white armor soldiers, which is the banner of Bo Erhui himself, Zu Kefa is a famous general of the green battalion, and it is natural to open the way in the front army, besides, in addition to the Eight Banners in the world, who has so many cavalry?

This army must be the Qing army, definitely not Wang Kefan's Ming army!

This scout is still a little confused, and even said that the Eight Banners soldiers were injured a lot, how is this possible? At most, they are the wounded soldiers of the Green Battalion, and Zu Kefa is the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, and he can't control the Manchu cavalry......

Ma Jiaolin didn't care about the small details, he sent two henchmen and generals to greet the Qing army with white flags, so as not to meet the team rashly and cause unnecessary misunderstandings...... After a short time, the two turned back with happy faces, and they both said that they had been praised and rewarded by Zu Kefa, the chief soldier of the Qing army.

"Mr. Zu (another name for the general soldier) is really a great general, not only very majestic, but also quite young......"

"Hey, don't judge yourself as a Shangguan, after I return to the Qing Dynasty, maybe I will be controlled by the ancestral town!"

Ma Jiaolin scolded a few words, drove the two frivolous guys behind him, and then said to everyone: "Since the Qing Dynasty King has arrived, I will kneel and wait!" ”

Led by Ma Jiaolin, Hei Yunchang, and An Jingyan, they knelt in a row beside the official road, and other civil and military officials knelt behind them according to their ranks.

I have long prepared the haode drum music to play together, beating gongs and drums, which is very lively, and the haode colorful flag honor guard has been prepared for a long time, which immediately creates a happy and peaceful atmosphere. Ma, Hei, An and other civil and military officials bowed down deeply, throwing their bodies to the ground, and they couldn't kneel for a long time.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, gradually approaching, and Ma Jiaolin and the others lowered their heads a little further...... Since he surrendered, he had to show the back of his neck, indicating that he was at the mercy of the Manchu masters.

Behind him, someone was muttering, it was still those two frivolous guys.

"That, that's Zu Kefa, the chief soldier of the Great Qing Dynasty Weihui!"

"Silence!" Ma Jiaolin muttered in his throat, but heard someone calling his name.

"Which one is Ma Jiaolin? Which one is Hei Yunchang again? It seems that Zukova is asking.

"The last general is Ma Jiaolin!" He kowtowed heavily.

"The last general is Hei Yunchang!" Hei Yunchang's head knocked louder, only to hear the bang, and when he raised his face, there was a blood stain on his forehead.

Ma Jiaolin gasped, but he didn't expect that Hei Yunchang still had this hand, and put a small pebble under his forehead, which made his head full of blood, but he compared himself.

"Take it!" That Zukefa suddenly turned his face.

"Oh, oh...... The end will be innocent, the end will be innocent! Please spare your life! Ma Jiaolin and Hei Yunchang shouted together, and the other Yuezhou civil and military forces also changed color.

"Take them all, don't leave any of them!" As soon as Zu Kefa raised his hand, he took off the helmet of the Qing army with a mink tail, revealing the Han family's bun inside: "You can see clearly, this general Wang Kefan is not Zu Kefa!" ”

“……”

“……”

All the civil and military officials in Yuezhou were struck by lightning, and they stammered there.

"Where's Bolhui?" Ma Jiaolin couldn't understand, and still held a glimmer of hope for Zuihou.

"Dead."

"How did you die?!" Ma Jiaolin and Hei Yunchang spoke in unison.

Wang Kefan smiled and ignored them, but said to his soldiers: "Escort the two of them down and cut them down!" ”

The soldiers of the Gongyi battalion carried the black horse and left, both of them struggled, Hei Yunchang was full of foul language and scolding, but Ma Jiaolin was unwilling.

"Wait, wait!" Ma Jiaolin turned his head vigorously and shouted: "The surname Wang, it doesn't matter if you kill me, but you tell me, how did Bo Erhui die?" And where is the 5,000 army of the Manchus?! ”

"Go ask Borhui."

Wang Kefan waved his hand, jumped off the war horse, and walked towards An Jingyan. (To be continued......)
