Chen Jin, the epigraphy Tianzhang, a person from Jinzhou, western Liaoning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info like other members of the Jiangmen family in western Liaoning, he was also in the period of the Apocalypse during the period when Liaodong was in flames and Liaoxi could not even touch the edge of the war, step by step with the formation and expansion of the Guanning Army. During the reign of Chongzhen, with the construction of Dalinghe City, he had been appointed as the capital of Dalinghe until the far-reaching battle of Dalinghe.

On July 27 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the army from Shenyang in order to uproot the Dalinghe City that began to extend to the west of the river, and on the sixth day of August, after gathering Mongolian reinforcements, about 50,000 Houjin troops surrounded the unfinished Dalinghe City garrisoned by more than 13,800 Ming troops and 20,000 merchants.

Although the Manchus had begun to imitate the Hongyi cannon since Huang Taiji gained power, they did carry their own Hongyi cannon in this battle, which was used by the unnamed Wuzhen Chao Han army. However, for the Qing army, the means of attacking the city were still lacking, and at the same time, Huang Taiji also had the intention of besieging the city and digging four trenches and a wall more than one zhang high, making the city of Dalinghe impassable.

The breakthrough failed, the reinforcements did not arrive, and during the period, there were also filthy things such as the Wuqiao Mutiny. The food was quickly eaten, and the Guanning army in the city first killed the horses for meat, and when the war horses were almost finished, they began to eat people and dead bodies, and only a few senior officials still had one or two liters of food. Shi Zai: "The bones of the boil are unheard of. ”

Chen Jin was just a capital secretary at that time, not as good as Zu Dashou, nor as good as He Kegang, Zu Kefa, Zhang Cunren and other high-level generals, and he was naturally indispensable to cannibalism, and even in the end, even a concubine he loved very much on weekdays was not spared.

The Song Dynasty Zhuang Sui wrote in the "Chicken Ribs": "The old and thin man is called the fire, the woman is a young man with a soup sheep under his name, and the child is called a rotten bone: and the eyes are two-legged sheep." ”

The young woman's skin and flesh are delicate, and so is Chen Jin's concubine. After a long siege, he had not eaten mutton for a long time, but after killing his concubine and cooking it that day, the taste really reminded him of mutton, and even when he ate it, he closed his eyes and ate it as mutton.

Twenty-one years have passed, and Chen Jin has not eaten mutton, but he has never been in the same siege as he was in Dalinghe. Especially when I thought of the concubine who was said to be a son by Xiangshi, and he had no children after eating that concubine, and drank some wine, Chen Jin, who was becoming more and more tyrannical, naturally refused to swallow this unpleasant breath, and always had to find someone to vent.

"Say! You dog mongrel, who made Lao Tzu cook human flesh to eat?! ”

Hearing this, the cook collapsed directly to the ground, trembling like autumn leaves in the wind. After a blink of an eye, there was even more feces and urine, and I couldn't even say a word.

Seeing a turbid stream flowing out of the cook's crotch, Chen Jin naturally refused to step forward and beat his dirty hands, and directly asked people to pull him down and execute him directly. However, this anger did not subside, and Chen Jin, who was carrying a horse whip, saw Lu Pichang, a house slave who had just escorted the cook, to his face.

"Dog minions who don't have long eyes, I don't know if I keep an eye on those cooks, if they poison the master in the dish and I poison it, it will be the heart of you dog minions, right?"

Since Chen Wen rose step by step in western Zhejiang, Chen Jin has not had a comfortable day, and his high position is naturally unbearable, and there are many people who want to pull him down.

Originally, with the extermination of Siming Mountain, the capture of Zhoushan and the previous aid to Fujian, he was already highly praised in the court, and even Shunzhi praised his outstanding ability as a slave in public. But now, because Fujian has not been able to send reinforcements, it has begun to become a mudflat, and Chen Wen, who led to all this, has surrounded him in the city twice, even if this second time is his own voluntariness, but he has experienced the pain of being besieged before he has started, and he does not want to experience it again even once.

"Dog minion!"

"Dog stuff that doesn't have long eyes."

“……”

Sentence by sentence of angry shouting, wrapped in the whistling of the leather whip tearing the air and the endless blood marks on Lu Pichang's body after a blink of an eye, the house slave curled up on the ground did not dare to move, he had been by Chen Jin's side for a long time, he naturally knew Chen Jin's temper, and at this moment he was whipped for anger, as long as Chen Jin's anger was gone, he could get out, but if it provoked his anger, then he could only pray that Chen Jin would let him go for the time being because of other things.

After a long time, Chen Jin was also tired, so he was served by other trembling minions and went back to rest for tomorrow's decisive battle.

Chen Jin returned to the room, and Lu Pichang was still lying motionless on the ground, until Li Jinzhong and Chen En, who had always been good friends, carried him back to the room and he was already beaten and bruised.

"Today, hey, count me out of luck."

"Brother Lu, you can't say that, who knew that a few pieces of mutton would be thought of by the master as human flesh. I think the master is going to be driven crazy by the Ming army commander outside the city......"

Hearing this, Li Jinzhong immediately blocked Chen En's mouth, and then hurriedly ran to the door, opened the door and looked around, and closed the door again after making sure that there was no one around.

"There are some things that are not easy to say, even if you know them. There are a lot of people in this governor's palace, who knows which guy is listening to our corner. If it falls into the ears of the master, I am afraid that we will not be able to get it even if we want to die quickly. ”

Li Jinzhong has always been the leader of these domestic slaves, Chen En and Lu Pichang saw Li Jinzhong's words, and immediately retreated. But the next moment, the face of the man who was still persuading them to be cautious just now suddenly sank.

"Today it was Brother Lu, yesterday it was Brother Chen, the day before yesterday it was me, the day before yesterday it was Brother Li Zhong, and I can't count it any further. We can't go on like this anymore, and if we continue like this, sooner or later, we will have to follow in Chen Qi's footsteps. ”

Chen Qi was a house slave before Chen Jin, because Chen Jin was not angry at that time and was beaten to death, these things they have seen with their own eyes for a long time by Chen Jin's side of the house slaves, listening to Li Jinzhong mention this matter, Chen En and Lu Pichang's faces were white, as if they will be like Chen Qi in the near future.

"Brother Li, why don't we run away."

"Run?" Li Jinzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then his gaze became as sharp as a knife. "Inside the city is the master's world, and outside the city is the Ming army, even if you escape out of the city, it will be a dead end for you and my brother to fall into the hands of the Ming army. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" The two glanced at each other, Chen En hurriedly got up and ran to the door, opened it slightly, and observed it for a while before coming back to continue asking questions.

"Brother Li, if you have a way, just say it, we will listen to you."

"Okay."

I saw Li Jinzhong take a deep breath, and then tell him about his plan, which he had been thinking about for a long time. Tomorrow, the Ming army outside the city will attack the city, and if you can't defend it, it's a dead word, even if you defend it, you may not have a way to live, you must make a decision as soon as possible, and this thing is not easy to do, you have to have someone to help you do it together.

Listening to Li Jinzhong throw out the plan that had been brewing in hatred for a long time, Chen En and Lu Pichang were shocked at first, but what happened these days made them quickly forget the danger in fear, but there was still a problem that needed to be confirmed in time.

"It's the Li Zhong brothers who are on duty today......"

"Don't worry, Li Zhong listens to me." (To be continued.) )
