Because the baggage fleet carried 150 light and heavy artillery pieces and a large amount of supporting ammunition, and it was going up the river against the river, in order to prevent the army from being out of touch with the movement of the baggage fleet, and in addition, it was also necessary to probe the enemy situation on the western front in order to formulate a combat strategy, so the main force of Lu Fatzi's westward expedition was not very fast, and it took Lu Fatzi almost three days to walk more than 140 miles from Nanjing to Taipingfu. And these three days, for Han Daren, the general of the Fat Army, who has a ghost in his heart, is equivalent to three years.

There are too many facts that make Han Daren worried, from Han Daren's strategic vision, in the case of the fat army surrounded by enemies on all sides and determined the western front as the first goal, the most correct tactic should be a quick victory, solve the enemy on the western front with lightning speed, and free up his hands to calmly solve the enemy on the other three lines, but Lu Fatzi, who has a strategic vision far above him, just went the opposite way, walking unhurriedly as if he was taking the army on an outing, is there something else in strategy and tactics? Is it the old horse that stumbles? Or is it something else?

Another thing that frightened Han Daren was that Lu Fatzi had sent his only younger brother Han Yuanren to Liuhe Port in Taicang Prefecture under the pretext that the coastal areas needed to strengthen defense, although Han Yuanren had also received a warning from the Qing army about collusion with the Hongmao State, and the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River, where the defense was relatively empty, should indeed increase defense, but who was not good for Lu Fatzi to send Han Yuanren to a relatively distant coast, is it a coincidence? Or is there another purpose?

Under the weakness of heart and timidity and the fear of heart, Han Daren has not had a good sleep at all since he received the news that Lu Fatzi personally led the army to the west, almost every time he closed his eyes, he was quickly awakened by a nightmare, either dreaming that Lu Fatzi exposed his conspiracy and first got rid of himself, or dreamed that he was forced to follow the order and was hacked to death by the jackal hungry tiger under Lu Fatzi, and his mental tension was almost collapsed. But Han Daren, who is generally popular, is extremely pitiful, and he can't even find an object to confide in, all the nervousness, hesitation and worry can only be carried by one person, and dozens of hairs have turned gray in just three days.

On May 12, the elite of the Fat Army led by Lu Fatzi finally arrived at the city of Taipingfu. After hesitating again and again, Han Daren finally led the prefect Jixuan and his deputy Li Maozhu and others out of the city to greet him, but after arriving at the scene, something happened that made Han Daren even more frightened - the direct corps of the Fat People's Army had already begun to set up camp on the school field on the outskirts of Taiping Mansion, and put on a posture that he did not plan to enter the city and station!

"Why is the general camping outside the city? Could it be that he has reached this point of distrusting me? Han Daren's heart almost stopped beating, and he almost wanted to pull out his horse and run away.

"General Han, look!" Li Mao's exclamation pulled Han Daren back, "White clothes, white robes, white flags!" The brothers in Nanjing are wearing filial piety! The general is a filial piety expedition! ”

"Really!" Ji Xuan also discovered this anomaly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Why did the general go out on the expedition with filial piety? What's wrong? ”

"Really, why should our army go out on the expedition with filial piety?" Han Daren took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, the whole army of the fat army from Nanjing was dressed in white clothes and white robes, with pure white flags in their hands, and even a white belt was hung on the gate, but the fat army was originally respected by white, wearing white felt hats and black flags on a white background, so they didn't notice it from a distance just now.

"Could it be the prince?!" Li Maozhi suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that the prince is ...... old man?!" ”

"It's possible!" Han Daren suddenly had a glimmer of hope again, and said in his heart that if the prince really died, then everything would be easy! Thinking of this, Han Daren hurriedly grabbed his war horse and shouted: "Quick, go into the camp to meet the general and ask what is going on!" Fast! Fast! ”

Of course, Han Daren and others misunderstood the true meaning of the Fat Army's filial piety, and they didn't need Lu Fatzi to explain it personally, as soon as they came to the Fat Army's Chinese army tent, Han Daren and others found that the situation was wrong, because the Fat Army's Chinese army tent had two white flags, and the four big characters of revenge and hatred were written together. Entering the big tent of the Chinese army again, and seeing the spirit cards of Chinese compatriots enshrined in the big tent, Han Daren, who was not too stupid, immediately understood the true meaning of Lu Fatzi's filial piety expedition, and secretly admired Lu Fatzi's ingenious means to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the Jiangnan army and civilians, Han Daren was completely desperate - since Wu Laohan was not dead, did he implement the mission he explained or not?

"Everyone, please take a seat." Lu Fatzi, who was dressed in filial piety, beckoned, asked Han Daren and others to sit down on both sides of the big tent, explaining that he was considering that Taiping City was too small and there were too many garrisons, so he did not plan to enter the city to station, and personally explained the true meaning of hanging filial piety, that is, for the sake of the people of Jiangnan and Chinese compatriots who were slaughtered by Mites 30 years ago, they swore to exterminate mites and cut Kang Mazi alive, and they also told Han Daren and others that they had brought the white clothes and white robes of the Taiping Mansion Army with the army, and asked the Taiping Mansion Army to also go out with filial piety. Work together with the people of Jiangnan to annihilate the invading enemy and avenge the innocent and tragic deaths of the compatriots.

After listening to Lu Fatzi's explanation and orders, Ji Xuan and Li Maozhu and other civil and military officials of Taiping Mansion naturally praised it together, and promised to spread the name of Lu Fatzi's righteousness to the world, so that the people of all ethnic groups in Taiping Mansion would understand who the Fat Army was fighting for this time. Han Daren, who was preoccupied, echoed absentmindedly and agreed, while secretly looking at Lu Fatzi's expression and the situation of the big tent, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything on Lu Fatzi's fat face, but he found an abnormality in the big tent of the Chinese army - many of Lu Fatzi's personal soldiers were unfamiliar faces, but Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu, who had the best skills, were gone.

"Behind the big tent, there shouldn't be an ambush of a knife and axeman, right?" The more Han Daren pondered, the more weak his heart became, and he couldn't help but fantasize about such a scene, Lu Fatzi picked up the wine glass and threw it down, and then Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu and others immediately rushed out with knives and axes, and without saying a word, they cut themselves into meat sauce! Then Lu Fatzi presented true evidence or fabricated false evidence, and then killed his entire family and henchmen, and took over the Taiping Mansion Corps.

"General Han, General Han."

The more nervous he was, the more troublesome he had, just when Han Daren was trembling and trembling, Lu Fatzi suddenly shifted his attention to him, and called him a few times in a row, until Li Mao next to him quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, Han Daren finally woke up as before, and quickly stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The last general, what does the general command?" ”

"What is General Han thinking? Why are you so distracted? Fat Lu asked with a smile.

"The end ...... The last general thinks about the meaning of the general's filial piety. Han Daren was still a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "When the last general thought of the dogs entering the customs thirty years ago, poisoning the south of the Yangtze River, and killing millions of Chinese compatriots, the last general was full of anger, and he only hoped to kill all the dogs in the world as soon as possible, and avenge my innocent Chinese compatriots!" Therefore, I was distracted and looked at the general Haihan. ”

"I see." Fat Lu nodded, believing it to be true: "In the same way, every time I think of the viciousness and cruelty I inflicted on my Chinese compatriots when the dog entered the customs, I often filled my chest with anger, gritted my teeth, and forgot everything for a while. This time, we only need to keep in mind the blood debt and blood feud of the dogs, and work together to wipe out the dogs and avenge the innocent Chinese compatriots who died. ”

Han Daren wanted to echo but his mind was confused, so he had to nod again and again. Fat Lu stood up again, smiled and said: "That's it, don't panic and leave, I'll let people prepare wine and food, and we will discuss strategies to break the enemy while eating." Brother Ren, you come with me to the back account, I have some confidential matters I want to talk to you about alone. ”

"Yes." Ji Xuan and Li Maozhu and other civil and military officials respectfully agreed, but Han Daren was dizzy and almost fled again.......................................... At the same time in the city of Yangzhou, the Qing Army's Yue Le Department and Jie Shu Department had already arranged according to Kang Mazi's personal arrangement, and relied on the deliberate release of water from the direct corps of the Fat Army, and successfully joined the division under the city of Yangzhou, which was killed by the Qing army thirty years ago, and chose to set up a camp on the shore of Shao Bo Lake twenty miles north of Yangzhou when the executioner Duoduo attacked Yangzhou, in a vain attempt to pray for Duoduo's blessing and let them successfully conquer Yangzhou. At the same time, Kang Mazi's other cousin, Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo, also escorted 38 Hongyi cannons and 20 sub-cannons newly cast by the Qing court to the Shao Bohu camp of the Qing army, preparing to follow Duoduo's old trick of breaking through Yangzhou and using artillery to collapse the Yangzhou city wall with bricks and rammed earth.

By the way, the eight hundred musketeers borrowed by Kang Mazi from Tsarist Russia also came to the Yangzhou battlefield with Bo Guoduo this time, and Kang Mazi planned to try to use the new firearms and strong combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian musketeers to fight against the terrifying firearms of the Fat Army.

Yue Le is Kang Mazi's cousin, Jie Shu and Bo Guoduo are both Kang Mazi's cousins, and they are also Yue Le's cousins. As soon as they met, Bo Guoduo, who was twenty-five years old and was still on the battlefield for the first time, had to congratulate Yue Le, congratulate him on his successful breakthrough of Gaoyou and Xinghua, and congratulate him on his successful breakthrough of the two cities of Gaoyou and Xinghua, and congratulate him on his successful breakthrough of the fat man's blockade and victory with Yue Le on the Yangzhou battlefield.

Bo Guoduo said that it was easy to congratulate, but Yue Le and Jieshu, who had been abused by the fat army, had no confidence, but they smiled bitterly, and they both understood that the reason why they were able to successfully complete the mission explained by Kang Mazi was not so much because of martial arts, but because Lu Fatzi was not at ease, and he was afraid that it was troublesome to go north to chase and kill, so he simply released the water and let them take the initiative to send them to death.

"Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, the master has an envoy to bring to you." Bo Guoduo said again: "In view of the fact that Lu Yifeng's dog thief has personally led the troops to the west, the master wants you to seize the opportunity that Wu Gou cannot return in time to help, and be sure to break through Yangzhou City within half a month, force Wu Gou's main force to return to help, and relieve the pressure on the western front of Prince Zhang and Shun Cheng Baylor." ”

"Break through Yangzhou in half a month?" Yue Le and Jie Shu smiled even more bitterly, and asked together: "Lord Zhuang, did the master say that if we can't complete this mission, what punishment will there be?" ”

"I didn't say it." Bo Guoduo shook his head, and reminded in a deep voice: "But I can see that the master is already in a hurry, if you can't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid the master will disobey the Jun decree of the empress dowager's ancestors, cross the river to the south and personally command the attack on Yangzhou." ”

Yue Le and Jie Shu didn't finish speaking, they glanced at each other again, and they both saw the wry smile and helplessness on each other's faces. And Bo Guoduo is not stupid, after observing the words and looking at the frustration and despair of Yue Le and Jie Shu, Bo Guoduo couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Why do you have such expressions when you hear that you are going to fight? Bo Guoduo was rude, and dared to ask, is it really like those Mongolian princes who impeached you, you have been completely scared by Wu Gou, and your legs are weak when you see Wu Gou's banner? ”

"Those stupid pigs know a ball!" Yue Le rarely scolded a swear word, and said sullenly: "Lord Zhuang, that is, I dare to say a few words in front of you, in our current situation, there is really not much certainty about breaking Yangzhou, and it can even be said that there is almost no hope." ”

"Why?" Bo Guoduo asked: "Uncle Wang, when Prince Yu attacked Yangzhou City, there were only thirty Hongyi cannons in his hand, and he still broke through Yangzhou Jiancheng, and now there are thirty-eight Hongyi cannons brought to you by the little nephew alone, plus more than 20 Hongyi cannons you brought with the army before, the number of cannons is fully double that of Yu Wangye, plus our sub-mother cannons, the number is even more, why do you still say that there is no hope of breaking Yangzhou?" ”

"Virtuous nephew, fighting a war is not just a matter of comparing numbers." Yue Le sighed, and didn't bother to give Bo Guoduo a detailed analysis, but said with a wry smile: "Even if it's a number, we don't necessarily compare to Wu Gou, do you know how many artillery pieces there are in Yangzhou City now?" ”

"I don't know." Bogoduo shook his head blankly, and asked curiously, "How many?" ”

"I don't know, Wu Gou's Yangzhou Corps has not dispatched a main force so far, and we don't know how many artillery pieces they are equipped with." Yue Le spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "But I do know how many artillery pieces Wu Gou's Jiangning Corps has—at least two hundred!" ”

"At least two hundred? True or fake? Bogodo was taken aback.

"Lord Zhuang, Uncle Wang didn't lie to you, this number will only be more, not less." Jie Shu said dejectedly: "Two months ago, I had a fight with the Wu Dog Jiangning Corps on the bank of the Chushui River, and that time Wu Gou used one hundred and eighty artillery pieces to beat us badly. There are 180 artillery pieces on the front line alone, plus the artillery used to defend the city in Jiangning City, and the artillery of Wugou Jiangning Corps exceeds 200 easily. ”

"Really?" Bogoduo was startled again, and the little confidence he had just now was suddenly gone.

"Three princes, forgive the slave for daring to interject." At this time, a young Qing army leader in his twenties standing behind Bo Guoduo spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Kang, if the slave is not mistaken, it is true that in that Chushui War, Wu Gou did dispatch more than 180 artillery pieces, but Wu Gou's artillery is mainly Weiyuan General Cannon (sub-mother cannon) with a maximum range of three miles, and the number of Hongyi cannons that can shoot ten miles at the farthest distance is relatively rare, as if there are only about 30 guns. ”

"How do you know in such detail?" Jie Shu asked in surprise.

"The prince forgives the sin, the slave likes to fiddle with firearms since he was a child, and he is very interested in artillery battles and musket battles." The young leader behind Bo Guoduo replied: "So after meeting with the prince this time, the slave immediately inquired about Wu Gou's firearms from the soldiers under the prince's command, and learned the detailed process of the Chushui War at that time. ”

"Oh, what are you going to say?" Yue Le became interested.

"The slave wants to say, since the most important Jiangning Corps of Wugou in Jiangnan is not equipped with many Hongyi cannons, how many Hongyi cannons can there be in Wugou's Yangzhou Corps?" The young leader asked respectfully: "Please think about it carefully, if the number of Hongyi cannons in Yangzhou Wugou is insufficient, then no matter how powerful the flowering cannonballs they have with Sanhao explosives inside, no matter how many cannons Weiyuan has in general, they can't hit us with long-range shooting, isn't it a waste?" ”

"Huh?!" Yue Le and Jie Shu glanced at each other again, and exclaimed together, "Why did we forget this? If the number of Hongyi cannons that Wu Gou can shoot ten miles is insufficient, even if the Hongyi cannons in our hands are not powerful enough, they can still gain the upper hand in the artillery battle! No matter how powerful Wu Gou's artillery is, it won't be a waste if it can't hit us?! ”

"Makes sense!" Tu Hai, who had not spoken all this time, also came to his senses, waved his hand and said: "If Wu Gou's Hongyi cannons are insufficient, then we can firmly gain the upper hand in long-range shooting, and there is every hope that like Lord Rui, with continuous artillery bombardment, the bricks and rammed earth walls of Yangzhou will be destroyed!" ”

"But what if Wu Gou goes out of the city? Gao Dejie's Wu dog is a well-known cavalry general. Jieshu raises another key question.

"Don't be afraid of him!" Tu Hai waved his hand again, and said with a sneer: "Wu Gou went out of the city to charge our artillery array, there is no way to use a large number of Miyoshi rockets, so he can only rely on the cavalry to charge quickly, or let the infantry push the rocket vehicles with a range of only three miles to close the distance!" And the cavalry in our hands, the Mongolian cavalry alone has more than 30,000 people, even if we can't beat Wu Gou head-on, flank assault and roundabout outflanking, we can completely gain the upper hand with the number of cavalry! Even if three Mongol cavalry are exchanged for one Wu dog cavalry, we will take advantage of it! ”

"Finally, there's a way!" Yue Le was so excited that he slapped the handsome case, and said: "The most important thing now is to quickly find out how many Hongyi cannons there are in Yangzhou Wugou, so that we can formulate a strategy to break the city according to local conditions!" ”

"Lord An, forgive the slave for interjecting again, and the slave has a way to quickly find out how many Hongyi cannons there are in Yangzhou Wugou." The young leader said respectfully: "It's very simple, that is, immediately start a long-range artillery battle and force Wu Gou to fire back, so that we will be able to know how many Hongyi cannons Wu Gou has in Yangzhou City." ”

"Clever! Talent! What a rare talent! Yue Le was overjoyed, pointed to the young leader and asked, "What's your name?" Is that the flag's? ”

"Back to the prince, the slave is a native of the Liaodong Zhonghou Institute (now Suizhong County, Huludao City), and the Han army is inlaid with yellow flags." The young leader replied respectfully, and said cautiously: "But the name of the minion, the minion does not dare to say." ”

"Why don't you dare to say it?" Yue Le asked in surprise, "What's the taboo with your name?" Why don't you dare to say it? ”

"Uncle Wang, he really doesn't dare to say it." Bo Guoduo opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Because of his name, it will definitely scare you a lot—his name is Han Daren." ”

"Han Daren?!" Yue Le, Jie Shu and Tu Hai were dumbfounded together and asked, "Is it the same sound?" Or is it exactly the same as Han Daren, the commander of the Jiangnan Wugou Taiping Mansion Legion? ”

"Back to the prince, it's exactly the same." Han Daren replied helplessly: "After the servant found out about this problem from the Di newspaper, he also thought about changing a name, but he thought that the name was given by his parents, and he registered it in the Zongren Mansion, so he didn't dare to change it privately. I just hope that one day I can capture or slash Wu Dog Han Daren on the battlefield, and I am ashamed of it. ”

"Hahaha......." For the first time since the Southern Expedition, Yue Le laughed out loud for the first time, and Tu Hai and Jie Shu were also together, saying that this Han Daren was indeed unlucky, and if he wanted to die or not, he would have the same name and surname as a big thief, or the kind of uncommon name with the same name and surname, which was indeed easy to cause misunderstanding.

"Okay, Han Daren, since you are going to disgrace your name on the battlefield, then King Ben will give you a chance." Yue Le laughed and said: "From today onwards, this king will let you be in charge of commanding the sixty-three Hongyi cannons of our army, and give this king a fierce bombardment of Wu Gou's Yangzhou City, like Rui Wangye, and use artillery to collapse Wu Gou's Yangzhou city wall!" ”

"Slave Xie Wang Ye promoted!" Han Daren was overjoyed, quickly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said: "The slave swears to Tianming that he will never live up to the expectations of the prince, and must use our Hongyi cannon of the Qing Dynasty to blast open the Yangzhou city wall of Wugou for the prince!" ”

………………………… When Han Daren began to prepare to bombard the Yangzhou Fat Army, in the camp of the Fat Army of Taiping Mansion hundreds of miles away, Han Daren finally walked into the back tent of Lu Fatzi tremblingly. What made Han Daren quietly breathe a sigh of relief was that there was no sword and axe hand in the back tent with a steel knife and iron axe in his imagination, except for Lu Fatzi, there was only one Lu Fatzi's first confidant Xiao Erlang who was waiting for tea, and there was no one else.

Seeing this scene, Han Daren finally put the heart of his throat back into his stomach, and hurriedly saluted Lu Fatzi and asked, "General, what are your orders for calling the last general into the back tent alone?" ”

"Brother Ren, please take a seat." Fat Lu waved his hand and asked Xiao Erlang to bring a chair to Han Daren, and said with a smile: "Brother Daren doesn't have to be polite, my own brother, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so formal." ”

Han Daren thanked him, sat down next to Fat Lu with confidence, and asked again, "General, is there something wrong?" ”

"Brother Ren, brother, I have a question for you, I hope you can answer it truthfully." Fat Lu smiled and asked, "The secret decree given to you by the prince is to let you initiate a mutiny and detain me?" Or do you want to kill me outright? ”

"Smack!" The teacup in Han Daren's hand fell to the ground, and the person jumped up, so frightened that Xiao Erlang behind Lu Fatzi hurriedly drew his knife, but Lu Fatzi quickly pressed Xiao Erlang's hand, and smiled at Han Daren and said: "Brother Daren, don't panic, there is really no ambush knife and axe here, I just ask casually, there is no other malice." ”

"General, you ......, what are you talking about, ...... How could the last general not understand? Han Daren asked tremblingly.

"Brother Ren, you can't hide it from me, in fact, I have already guessed it from the moment the prince arranged you to be my deputy." Fat Lu sighed, and said quietly: "But I don't blame you, let alone you, this is also human nature, Brother Ren, you want to be motivated, the prince wants to prevent me from rebelling and rebelling, so naturally he must arrange an eyeliner by my side." You are not the first, Kong Fanlin and Luo Kedi in the past, and Chen Dou in the future, are all the same as you, but after they came to me, they all became brothers with me and wore a pair of pants, so the prince had no choice but to arrange you, who were very hostile to me at that time, to my side. ”

Han Daren stopped talking, but lowered his head in shame. Lu Fatzi smiled again and said: "Brother Ren doesn't need to feel guilty, you didn't do anything wrong, we were able to take Jiangnan, and you are also a great contributor, so I never thought of getting rid of you, on the contrary, I entrusted the west gate of Jiangnan to you." ”

Han Daren peeked at Fat Lu, his lips trembled a few times, but he still didn't speak.

"Brother Ren, can I ask you for one thing?" Fat Lu suddenly asked in a low voice.

"General, please." Han Daren hurriedly replied.

"Brother Ren, no matter whether the prince wants you to kill me or you want you to arrest me, please give me a little more time." Lu Fatzi said very sincerely: "Right now, the Mangou Emperor has personally conquered Jiangnan, and our great enemy is currently in the background, if there is infighting, it will only lead to the collapse of the army's morale, and it will be torn apart, and the Mangou Emperor will be cheapened for nothing." So, I hope you can give me a little time, let me finish this Jiangnan decisive battle, use this golden opportunity to get rid of the Mangou Emperor, and then arrest me, can you? I can guarantee that I will not resist when the time comes, and I will just obediently tie my hands and arrest him. ”

"General, you're kidding, aren't you?" Han Daren was so nervous that he couldn't believe his ears.

"I'm definitely not joking, on the contrary, I'm serious." Fat Lu's eyes were firm, and he said slowly: "Since I came to this world, my greatest wish is to expel the Tartars, kill all the dogs, and restore my Chinese country!" This is also the fundamental reason why I am willing to give up the glory and wealth of the dog, tie my head to the waistband of my trousers, and accompany the prince to raise an army against the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Now, I am only one step away, only one step away from success, and I can achieve my life's wish, but the prince is ...... at this time. Alas, I don't blame the prince, because you can also see that over the past year or so, I have indeed done a lot of things in Jiangnan that I am sorry for the prince, and the prince wants to get rid of me, and I can understand his thoughts. I don't blame you, because the prince is not only your boss, but also your uncle, not to mention that he must have secretly promised you countless benefits, even if he doesn't give you any benefits, just order you, and you have to carry it out. ”

Speaking of this, Fat Lu paused, closed his mung bean eyes, and said in a deeper voice: "Originally, I also had the opportunity and a way to get rid of you, such as tricking you back to Nanjing, or ambushing the knife and axe here today, but I don't plan to do this." Because I believe that you will be able to understand my hard work, understand my pursuit, and give me a little time for the sake of suffering in the world, so that I can finish this decisive battle in Jiangnan, and then you will arrest me and dedicate it to the prince. In this way, I have achieved my life's wishes, and you have also fulfilled the prince's request, the best of both worlds. ”

"Brother Dajie, for the sake of the Han compatriots who have been poisoned by dogs for decades, can you agree to my request?"

After asking this sentence, Fat Lu opened his eyes and stared at Han Daren with blazing eyes, waiting for Han Daren's answer. Under the sincere gaze of Fat Lu, Han Daren first had a fever on his face and a red face, and then recalled that Fat Lu taught him earnestly in Jiujiang back then, and was ashamed to be like a brother to himself in Jiangnan, and finally knelt down on Lu Fatzi's knees, crying and taking out a long-cherished warrant from the place where the meat was attached to his arms, and while tearing the warrant to pieces, he cried and said:

"General, what are you talking about? The last will not understand, the last will not understand! The last general has never received any secret decree from the prince! The last general only remembers that the last general is the deputy sent to you by the prince, who will accompany you to kill all the dogs, expel the Tartars with you, and recover the Chinese country with you! Other than that, the last general doesn't know anything! I don't know! ”

Note: Han Daren, a native of the Qing Dynasty (now Suizhong County, Huludao City), belonged to the Han Army with the Yellow Flag, after Kang Mazi formed the Qing Han Army Firearms Battalion, he served as the first firearms battalion commander, and hung the title of Wailang of Fengchen Yuan, died in the first battle of Kang Mazi's first personal expedition to Geerdan, posthumously awarded the title of Yun Cavalry Captain, inherited by his son Han Chengde, and contained in the "Eight Banners Tongzhi. The Legend of the Martyrs.
