Chapter 45: Ma Jinbao (II)

Due to the arrival of the Ming army in the city, the curfew in Longyou County was extremely strong. If you look at it from above, only the surrounding walls of the entire city and a few places in the city are still lit, and most of the places are already in darkness.

The night was deep, and with the sound of the husband "closing the door and closing the window, preventing theft and theft", a Qing army from the Zhenbiao camp in Jinhua Town was leading the people to rush to the post dock outside the north gate with a jar of good wine and meat. Originally, it was the main distribution terminal for local products in the Lingshan River basin and agricultural products in the county, and most of them were commercial ships, but now it is the anchorage of Quzhou Shuiying.

The Qing army officer who led the team was called Du Pengcheng, and like his Ma Jinbao, he was from Xi County, Shanxi. Although they are fellow villagers, he and Ma Jinbao are not old acquaintances, but they did not join Ma Jinbao until not long before he decided to surrender to Ming, so until today he is only a boss. But with this relationship with his fellow villagers, he soon became Ma Jinbao's cronies, especially after the Ming army swept through Jinhua Mansion, the old brothers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Ma Jinbao were captured or killed, and his relationship with his fellow villagers was particularly precious, so Ma Jinbao would hand over such an important task to his cronies who were not very conspicuous among the generals under his command on weekdays.

A few hours ago, Ma Jinbao had already said in the timing that the Ming army was digging into the city in the past few days, if the boats of the water camp could not be completely controlled in their hands, then they would rely on the boats of the water camp, and the water camp would not care about the life or death of the standard camp in Jinhua Town, and Ma Jinbao had seen too much of this thing.

This is human nature, and Du Pengcheng is not ignorant. It just made him wonder why Ma Jinbao didn't send someone to grab the boat when the banquet was in progress, but sent him to the water camp in a hurry when it was about to start. Aren't you afraid of any surprises?

Hurried to the dock, Du Pengcheng couldn't wait to use two legs as four legs. is so anxious, for him, this action is not only to seek a way for this army to survive, nor is it entirely Ma Jinbao's promise to promote him to garrison after the completion of the matter, but more importantly, it is to protect his family in Quzhou Mansion.

Recalling the old mother at home, the wife who died of illness, the concubine in Jinhua County, and the concubine for his remaining eldest son and the second child in his womb, Du Pengcheng hurriedly greeted the soldiers who followed him in iron armor and military uniforms and soldiers disguised as civilian husbands. Hurry up and head towards the North Gate.

………………

In the temporary general army mansion, Ma Jinbao has completely reunited the hearts of the generals in the town, and at the same time he gave those family tricks to the generals who stayed in the wings of the mansion to vent. The corpses in the General Army's Mansion also began to be cleaned up in an orderly manner.

The Jinhua Ming army outside the city is so strong, but the army under his command is not as good as the Jinhua town standard camp that once was, and the fall of the city is inevitable. After thinking about it, the only way to get out of here is to get alive. However, Longyou is located at the confluence of Qujiang River and Lingxi. The Ming army has completely blocked the south of the city. The other directions were all surrounded by rivers, and if you wanted to leave, you had to have boats, and the fleet that could barely transport the army under his command was in the hands of the Quzhou water camp, so there was the scene just now.

It's just that killing a colleague is a capital crime, even if he is the banner man of the blue banner of the Han army, he may not be spared, especially the news of the death of Prince Duanzhong Boluo in the capital not long before the departure of the Ming army, and he is even more dead without a backer.

But the same is death. At least there is a world of difference between dying in two days and dying a few months later. As long as you can escape, and hide the annexation of the water camp. If you can tell which powerful person with great influence on the Qing Emperor can speak for him, you can continue to live.

He has already asked his family members in the capital to do their best to be filial to such a candidate, Nikan, Sony, Aobai, and even Hong Chengchou, and the opinions of these people have a great influence on Shunzhi. Especially Nikan, like Bolo, has the identity of the three kings of governance, and has a great influence among the magnates of the Eight Banners, if this person is willing to protect him, even Shunzhi has to weigh it. In fact, there is also a Mandahai, but it's a pity that this short-lived ghost died two months earlier than Bolo, and he deserves not to get his filial piety.

Of course, this is only a good aspect, if you can't get along with the Manchus, you can still join the Ming army. The commander of the Jinhua Ming Army, Linhai Bo Chen Wen, and the governor of Zhejiang, Cao Conglong, appointed by Lu Jianguo, can still take the relationship with Qian Qianyi, and there will always be a way out. And this way of life must be built on the basis that he can leave this mortal place alive with the army, otherwise everything is delusional.

The plan had been set as early as the day before yesterday after the failure of the sneak attack on the entrance of the cave, but Ma Jinbao was always hesitant whether the Ming army was preparing to burn the city and collapse or just plan to dig a tunnel to enter the city, especially before today, he was still eager for Chen Wen to accept his suggestion and let him out of the city, so he would delay until now.

At this moment, since Chen Wen had already determined that he didn't want to let him live, it was inevitable to hold the way of life in his hands, so the people of Shuiying had to die.

Only when they die will he have a chance to live!

The life-and-death situation is approaching, perhaps he has not encountered such a predicament for many years, Ma Jinbao is becoming more and more irritable, this feeling is very bad, and he must dispel it as soon as possible.

In the hall, where the blood had not yet been wiped off, Ma Jinbao pressed the girl's school book, who had always been a performer, on the table, and tore off the woman's clothes one by one in the desperate resistance and screams, revealing a large area of snow white and a little bit of tender red.

As time passed, the screams became less and less, but the woman's crying and begging for mercy became more and more pervasive. The soldiers under his command had long since turned a blind eye to this and continued their work. However, just as Ma Jinbao took off his pants and was about to take the gun straight to the garden that had not yet been set foot in, Ma Jinbao's righteous son suddenly rushed in.

"Father-in-law, there's one less corpse in the yard!"

Hearing this, Ma Jinbaoden was stunned, and even stopped what he had just done. After a while, I heard the Qing army marshal, who was still naked, kick over a chair near his left that was not long-eyed, and shouted angrily: "Go!" Turn this Longyou county over and turn this dog mongrel out to Lao Tzu! ”

………………

The north gate of Longyou County is to the Yimen. The Qing army led by Du Pengcheng had successfully walked out of the gate after showing Ma Jinbao's token, and continued to move forward towards the wharf more than a mile away. At this time, the dog mongrel in Ma Jinbao's mouth was hiding behind a courtyard wall not far away, and he was sweating profusely.

He was the personal soldier of the commander of the water battalion. Originally, there was a good position in the courtyard, not only did not delay eating and drinking, but also watched those house tricks dance from a distance, although it was only to see and not touch, but as a local, it was normal for him to go on duty to find the widow who wanted to vent.

But who knows, while eating, his stomach hurts, and he squatted in the thatched house and thought he had missed the show. Who knows, but luckily survived.

Hearing the shouts of killing from the yard, he climbed the tree without lifting his pants, and hurriedly escaped over the wall after seeing all this. ran to the water camp station outside the north gate, but who knew that it still fell behind the town standard camp.

The Qing army guarding the gate was Ma Jinbao's town standard battalion, and if they saw it, they would definitely die, and the idea of hiding in the widow's house that had come up several times was quickly suppressed by him. In troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if the who only knows silver will sell him for a good price. At this moment. It was impossible to get out of the city through the north gate, and the "dog mongrel" gritted his teeth and ran towards the side gate in the distance.

The side gate is not far from the north gate, as the head snake of the "dog mongrel" quickly rushed there, looking at the Qing soldiers guarding both sides of the water gate, I saw him quietly approaching the waterway, pinched a reed and put it in his mouth and slowly dived into the water, swimming towards the side door.

Dive into the water. With the water nature cultivated on Lingxi since childhood and the hollow reed used for ventilation, the "dog mongrel" can be described as a fish in water. But not far away is the gatekeeper of the town standard battalion. He could even vaguely hear the conversations of those Qing soldiers, and seeing this, he didn't dare to swim too fast, lest he would make a splash and be noticed by these people.

Following the direction of the current, he slowly dived out of the county seat after passing the iron fence, and did not slowly surface until a hundred meters outside the side gate, exhaled a few breaths, and then dragged his body, which had become quite tired from fear, anxiety and long running and diving, to the post front pier.

………………

Almost at the same time that the water battalion soldiers re-ashore, Du Pengcheng and the Qing army also arrived at the dock where the water camp was stationed. The village of Yiqian next to the wharf has been occupied by the Qing army, and almost all the local people have been reduced to their servants. Du Pengcheng walked to the front with the comfort goods of sweat medicine, and soon the officer of the water battalion who stayed behind ran out of the village and greeted him.

Du Pengcheng knew very well that most of the soldiers of the water battalion were in the village, and there were very few sailors left behind for each boat, and the boats were tied to the pillars on the shore with ropes, as long as these people were taken, these boats would be theirs.

The comforting wine and meat had been brought closer, and the aroma of the wine and meat instantly attracted the nearby water battalion soldiers. But at this moment, the officer of the water battalion who remained behind seemed to be a little hesitant about his intention to enter the village. It was clear that if you couldn't go into the village and charm them, it would be difficult to succeed.

Fortunately, Du Pengcheng was not completely unprepared. I saw that he let the soldiers behind him dodge, summoned two women wearing hats, and casually took off the hats that the two women used to cover their faces, and exposed them to the eyes of the officers left behind in the water camp.

"Isn't it a tyrannical thing to have wine without color, my marshal has prepared two little ladies for each of the officers of the water battalion, and the commander of your battalion and other brothers are estimated to have enjoyed it in the General Military Mansion at the moment, and these two are specially brought to the elder brother."

After getting along these days, Du Pengcheng knew very well that this left-behind officer was a hungry ghost, and the wives and concubines in the family were particularly insufficient, so he went to look for flowers and ask willows if he had nothing to do. At this time, when he saw the faces of the two housekeepers, the left-behind officer immediately stayed there, swallowing his saliva inadequately, looking like a full Zhu brother. These two housekeepers are outstanding in Ma Jinbao's family, and one of them often sleeps, so he naturally doesn't have to pick his appearance, so it's no wonder that this is the case.

happily invited Du Pengcheng and his entourage in, and the officer casually arranged for his own soldiers to greet him, and then impatiently hugged the two housekeepers into the room, not even caring about the most basic politeness.

In the village in front of the post, Du Pengcheng, who was broad-minded and had no concern for this, led the accompanying soldiers to warmly greet the water battalion soldiers to come to drink wine and eat meat. However, just when this plan was about to succeed, the direction they came from, a shout of "The commander has been killed by Ma Jinbao's dog mongrel, don't drink it with poison in the wine" appeared at the entrance of the village, and the two sides looked at each other for a moment, and immediately became tense!
