He didn't believe Zhao Guohua's words at all, in his mind, even tens of thousands of Ming border troops did not have this strength, but he didn't know that Zhao Guohua had three hundred firearms in his hands that far exceeded this era, and such a large-scale killing weapon was something that any army in this era could not resist. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Glancing at him coldly, Zhao Guohua sneered and said, "If you don't believe it, you can continue to attack and try." ”

He was full of confidence in his own strength, 300 Type 81 automatic rifles, plus 3,000 Lumi guns, plus 50,000 grenades, if he fought in the streets, his volunteers were enough to destroy 20,000 Qing troops. The reason why he didn't let his team members throw grenades in the early battle was that he didn't want to expose his strength too early and attract the attention of the Qing army.

Seeing his confident appearance, Duolong Ao couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

attacked Zhuozhou several times, but he ended up with a loss of soldiers, and he also had a strong fear of this mysterious militia in his heart

He didn't know what other skills this militia had not used. Besides, now the strength of the offensive and defensive sides is almost the same, and there is no capital to force it.

The threat failed, Duo Long Ao had no choice, so he had to change his tone and said: "Being an official is to make a fortune, since this is the case, then we can always redeem those prisoners with money, right?" ”

"Yes! No problem. Zhao Guohua said briskly.

After thinking for a while, he said to Duolong Ao: "Then what are you going to do with the silver......

Seeing that Zhao Guohua agreed to redeem those Qing soldiers with money, Duolong Ao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although these soldiers have been captured, many of them are veterans, and as long as they are put back, they can be put into battle again.

The Qing army was small, and experienced veterans were a treasure, and as long as the eighty captives were redeemed, they were a lot of force. The silver of the Qing Dynasty is there, and if it is not enough, you can also rob the Ming Dynasty, anyway, the Ming people have a lot of silver, and the Qing Dynasty will come when they want to.

After thinking about it for a while, Duolong Ao asked, "How much silver do you want for those eighty captives?" ”

He estimated that Zhao Guohua's asking price would not be low, so he was ready to bid 1,500 taels of silver for a captive.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua bared his teeth and smiled: "I don't want more, you can take a million taels......"

"What?" Duolong Ao was taken aback: "Zhao Manzi, you dare to fucking speak, eighty captives actually ask for one million taels of silver, are you crazy about money?" He pointed at Zhao Guohua and said.

looked at him disdainfully, and Zhao Guohua counted it with him.

According to eighty soldiers, each of whom killed at least ten Ming civilians or Ming soldiers, and eight officers, each of whom killed at least one hundred Ming civilians or Ming soldiers, counted, these captives killed at least 1,600 Ming civilians and 1,600 Ming civilians, and converted 800 taels of silver according to each person's life, which was calculated to be more than 1.2 million taels of silver.

After listening to Zhao Guohua's algorithm, Duolong Ao was speechless.

He knew the brutality of the Qing soldiers to the people of the Ming Dynasty, every time the Ming Dynasty was conquered, countless people were killed, Zhao Guohua's calculation was really not an exaggeration, but it was indeed too scary to exchange millions of silver for eighty captured soldiers to come back, and even if he agreed to change, Yanguli would not agree.

Knowing that they were unwilling, Zhao Guohua said: "If you are not willing to ransom people with money, you can also replace people." ”

"Swapping people for people? How to change? Duolong Ao hurriedly asked.

Zhao Guohua said: "Eighty Ming people for a Qing soldier, one hundred and fifty Ming people for an officer." There are 10,000 people in total, and the number can only be more, not less. ”

This was what he had thought in advance, since the purpose of the Tartars to invade the Ming Dynasty was to increase the national strength and plunder the population and goods, then he would take food from the Tartars and extort silver from the Tartars or the people that the Tartars plundered.

Hearing his conditions, Duolong Ao thought for a while and said, "I can't be the master of this, I have to go back and report to the duke before I can reply to you." ”

"Yes, you can go back and report it." Zhao Guohua nodded.

After leaving Zhuozhou and returning to Daying, Duolong Ao reported the incident to Yangguli, who was so angry that he slapped the table again and again, scolding Zhao Guohua more than once. 10,000 people of the Ming Dynasty came back in exchange for 80 Qing soldiers, knowing that they had suffered a loss, but they couldn't help but change. In his heart, after all, the Qing soldiers were worth more than the Ming people.

"Lord Wang, the people of the Ming Dynasty have it, and if we get our soldiers back, we will arrest them again." Dolon Ao said.

Hearing him say this, Yanguli thought for a while: "That's what you said, you go back and tell that Zhao Manzi to wait a few days, I will go to GA County to pick up people." ”

A few days later, 200 Qing troops drove more than 10,000 people with wooden sticks, and the ragged Ming people came to the city of Zhuozhou

Seeing that the Tartars had escorted them here, the people thought that they were going to block arrows for the Tartars to attack the city, and there were so many such things that they had long been numb.

The defenders on the city wall are numerous, the swords and guns are dazzling, hundreds of people are repairing a city wall, the Qing army is standing quietly behind the people, the city gate is half open, although the situation between the two sides of the city is a little tense, but it does not look like a war.

"What are you doing here, Tartar? It doesn't look like it's going to be a war......" several young men among the people whispered.

Looking at the defenders at the head of the city, and secretly looking back at the army of the Tartars, a handsome scholar who looked like a scholar whispered: "This situation is a little strange and unpredictable. ”

Zhao Guohua stood at the head of the city and carefully observed the people under the city, they were in rags, including sturdy men, young women, as well as a large number of children and some old people.

The vast majority of people have empty eyes, dull expressions, numbness mixed with trepidation.

He knew that these people had obviously endured too much torture and suffering, otherwise they would not have become like this.

The cold wind was blowing, the fields outside the city were all yellow, and a few leaves were scattered on a few old trees in the distance. Hungry and cold, the ragter-clad people shivered in the cold wind,

There is a family in the team, and a mother and daughter are looking at the bright sun and moon flag fluttering on Zhuozhou City.

"Mother, what did the Tartars do when they brought us here? Why didn't my dad come? A little girl of six or seven years old wondered

Her mother, a middle-aged woman in ragged clothes and a filthy face, sighed and said with tears in her eyes: "The Tartars are going to attack this city, and they are here to block the arrows and fill the trenches for them." ”

During the siege of the city, the people were driven to block arrows, which was often done by the Qing army and the so-called rebels such as Li Zicheng, which could reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and secondly, the people who were shot to death fell in the moat, which also became the material for filling the trenches, which was to block the arrows and fill the trenches.

"Mother, I don't want to die." The little girl cried out.

Hearing someone crying, Doronao led the soldiers into the crowd and grabbed the little girl to be killed.

The little girl knew that she was going to die, so she suddenly ran up and ran towards the half-open city gate, and when the Qing army behind saw it, three cavalrymen immediately chased after her.

"Little flower, run." The middle-aged woman shouted loudly in the ranks.

The little girl had short legs, and she was about to be overtaken, and the sound of horses' hooves of "kicking and kicking" came behind her, and a Qing soldier smiled and waved a bright steel knife.

couldn't bear to see the tragic scene of the little girl being stabbed in two, and the people hurriedly closed their eyes.

"Woohoo." Three crisp gunshots rang out, and the three Qing soldiers fell under their horses. The little girl looked back, and hurried on to the gate of the city.

Seeing that the Qing army was about to move, Zhao Guohua stood at the head of the city and said loudly: "Listen to the Tartars under the city, the people who came to this city are already our people from Zhuozhou, and whoever dares to kill indiscriminately again, these three people will end." ”

Hearing this, Yanguli gritted his teeth in anger, but he had no choice but to order no more rash actions. The Qing soldiers watched the little girl run towards the city gate and were helpless.

Seeing that the little girl ran into the city gate, Yanguli signaled Duolong Ao to go out and talk to Zhao Guohua.

"Zhao Manzi, we have brought the people you want, how can the two sides be replaced?" Dolon Ao shouted under the city walls.

Zhao Guohua said: "In order to show fairness, each side sent five people to count at the gate of the city, and after all the people entered the city, I will release your people again." ”

"No, if you don't release people then, what should I do?" Dolon Ao Dao.

"My Ming man counts when he speaks, and he has no regrets." Zhao Guohua said loudly.

Hearing this, he looked up at Zhao Guohua at the head of the city, Duolong Ao returned to the back and asked Yanguli, Yanguli hesitated for a moment and said, "Promise him." ”

With Yanguli's consent, Duolong Ao brought five people to the gate of Zhuozhou City, and the Volunteer Brigade and Zhuozhou Prefecture also sent five people led by Lu Qing, and the two sides began to hand over the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After all the people entered the city, Zhao Guohua also released the eighty captives of the Qing army one by one according to the agreement.

After the handover between the two sides, Duolong Ao began to demand the one million taels of silver from Li Xian again.

"Lord Zhizhou is unconscious, he can't do business, my official is small, and those squires don't buy my account, they incite the people to refuse to pay, and I am also in a mess, please wait a few more days, let me make up slowly." Li Xian said with a smile.

"You are procrastinating like this, how can you tell me to go back and explain to the lord?" Dolon Ao patted the table.

Li Xiandao: "Many generals, although the one million taels is difficult to collect, I can pay for the general's ten thousand taels out of my own pocket." After saying that, he took out a silver ticket and handed it over with a grin.

Looking at the amount of 10,000 above, Duo Long Ao quietly put it away.

In this way, according to Zhao Guohua's strategy, Li Xian used the strategy of procrastination to delay Yanguli for more than 20 days without doing anything under the city of Zhuozhou.

"What did Zhao Manzi and Li Xian pay attention to, they only paid 100,000 taels of silver for more than half a month? Isn't this teasing Duke Ben? I want to send someone to contact Abatai and ask him to bring troops over to support, I want to break through Zhuozhou, capture Zhao Manzi alive, and break him into thousands of pieces. Yanguli said through gritted teeth.
