Chapter 107: Hero
Azig was startled at first, but then saw that there were only about twenty people rushing in, and his ferocious nature prevailed again, and sneered: "Where did the little bastard come from, dare to speak wildly before the hair grows?" Oh, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the rabbit cub of the Jiang Hao family, right? Haha, okay, I didn't kill Jiang Jiu, a dog slave who made trouble, and it was not bad to slaughter one of his little cubs! ”
The first young man was Jiang Zhipei, Jiang Zhipei's third son, who had lived in Datong for many years, and in his early years, he had accidentally known that there was a secret passage in the mansion where Azig now lived, and he also expected that Azig would most likely escape along this secret passage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so he took his family to ambush outside this small courtyard early, waiting for Azig to appear, but he didn't expect to really run into it.
Originally, the safest way was that Jiang Zhipei should have told his father about the secret passage as soon as possible, and set up a heavy ambush outside this small courtyard, so that Azig would never be able to run again. But the young man's competitive mentality made him choose to do it himself. He clearly remembered that when Huo Qubing was nineteen years old, he led his troops to attack the Xiongnu royal court, and if he could capture and kill a Tartar prince when he was fifteen years old, wouldn't he be able to compare with Huo Quzhi?
At this time, Jiang Zhipei heard that Azig not only scolded himself for being a little mongrel, but also scolded his father for being a dog slave, and he was immediately angry: "The piglets of the wild boar skin family dare to speak wildly?!" I'm going to send you to reunite with your bastard daddy! ”
"You're looking for death!" Hearing someone scolding his crazy father, Azig was also furious.
The two groups of people immediately fought together, and the hand-to-hand combat was bloody and brutal.
Jiang Zhipei brought only twenty people. There are still thirteen Bayalas beside Azig, although they are inferior in numbers, but whether it is the fighting experience, the degree of ferocity, or the armor and equipment on their bodies, they are far stronger than the family members of the Jiang Mansion, plus they are already in a desperate situation, which makes them stimulate all their beast nature. In the beastly roar of the Baya Lamen, the Jiang Mansion family members fell down one by one screaming. The belligerent situation soon became one-sided.
Originally, Jiang Zhipei was besieging Azig with three family members, but soon, two family members were pinned down by Bayala who had his hands free. The remaining family member was just about to persuade Jiang Zhipei not to be reckless, but another Bayala next to him roared and pounced, and he had to fight with this Bayala first.
This family member is also the leader of the Jiang Mansion family team, burly and powerful, and the Bayala who fought with him is also stout and powerful like an ox, after the two knocked off the weapon, they scuffled together, roaring and rolling around on the ground.
In the process of hand-to-hand combat, this family saw out of the corner of his eye that Jiang Zhipei had also scuffled with Azig.
Although Jiang Zhipei's physique and martial arts are outstanding among his peers, he is still not enough to see in front of a battle-hardened barbarian like Azig, if it weren't for the injury on Azig's right arm and his inability to exert his strength, I'm afraid Jiang Zhipei would have died a long time ago. At this time, no one could go up to help Jiang Zhipei.
The loyal protector of the lord was concerned about the safety of the young master, and as soon as he was distracted, he let the bayala who was fighting with him gain the upper hand, and was stabbed in the chest by the short knife that Bayala pulled out of his waist with a loud roar. Jia Ding suddenly felt that all his strength was gone, and he tried to grab Bayala with all his might, but he couldn't lift his hand anymore, so he could only watch Bayala pull out the knife from him and walk towards Jiang Zhipei, who was fighting with Azig, murderously.
"Third Prince......" The family fell to the ground, and he could only make a faint voice when he wanted to remind him loudly, and the endless anxiety and guilt were quickly devouring the last bit of consciousness he had left.
However, at the last moment before he closed his eyes, things seemed to take a turn for the better: a large number of men with swords rushed out of the small courtyard house, and there was a clear sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and it was clear that a large number of people were also coming this way......
......
In the small courtyard, the surviving Bayala was surrounded and suppressed by the Eagle Eye Guard special service team who rushed over, and they were killed one after another.
"My lord! Azig is here! ”
Xing Biao looked in the direction of the fingers of the people around him, and sure enough, he saw Azig staggering up from the ground, taking two steps in a panic, and a bloody arrow spurted out of his neck, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground again like a pocket.
After Azig fell, Xing Biao saw another person who fell not far away, and was immediately shocked, and quickly stepped forward and squatted down to support the man and called, "Pei'er! ”
Jiang Zhipei's chest and abdomen were bleeding out of several deep penetrating wounds, and they couldn't be blocked, obviously there was no way to save them. After seeing Xing Biao, a smile appeared on his bloodless face, and with the last bit of strength, he tried to make some intermittent faint words: "Teacher...... Father...... I'm ...... It doesn't count...... Han Chinese ...... Hero? ”
Xing Biao held back the grief and tears in his eyes, and nodded: "Of course, the champion Hou was nineteen years old before he went straight to the Hun royal court, Ban Ding was far away and only put pen to paper, and you were only fifteen years old to be able to capture and kill the prince of the Tartars with your own hands, you are good, you are stronger than them, you are a hero of the Han people!" ”
Jiang Zhipei's simple and innocent smile gradually froze on his face, and his eyes looking at the night sky faded their last brilliance.
......
On the third day of November in the fourth year of Longwu, Jiang Xuan, the former general of the Ming Dynasty, raised troops in Datong and announced that he would oppose the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty. After a night of fierce fighting, Prince Azig of Qingying, who was sitting in Datong, was given the head, and hundreds of banner soldiers under his command were completely annihilated. Geng Yanhe, the governor of Xuanda, was captured alive in the official office, and except for a small number of stubborn soldiers and horses in his standard battalion who were annihilated, all the rest laid down their weapons and surrendered. By dawn, Jiang Hao completely controlled the whole city of Datong and re-branded the banner of Daming.
Although he successfully controlled Datong, the grief of losing his beloved son still made Jiang Hao murderous. Geng Yuhe was captured alive and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but he was still tied to a stake and died, and his family, including the gray-haired old man and the infant baby, were all killed, and none of them were left. The more than 2,000 Xuanda Governor Biao Battalion soldiers who surrendered were all buried alive by Jiang Xuan's order. The corpses of Azig and hundreds of banner soldiers, except for the heads that were cut off and preserved, were all smashed and poured into the pit.
Jiang Hao had an incident in Datong, and the former Ming Dynasty generals in various parts of Shanxi also responded one after another. Wan Lian of the Bianguan, Liu Qian of Daizhou, Chen Du and Zhang Douguang of Zezhou, Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, Li Qisheng and others in the Hancheng area of Puzhou were all like Jiang Liang, who played the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and returning to the Ming Dynasty, hunted down and killed the local guards and officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and jointly promoted Jiang Jiu as the commander.
In just a few days, Shanxi, where the soldiers had stopped for several years, was once again shrouded in continuous beacon fires, except for the provincial capital Taiyuan and a few cities, almost all the rest of the places declared their opposition to the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Twelve! My twelfth brother! When the news reached the palace of Prince Qingyu in Beijing, Duoduo, who had been bedridden for a long time, vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, and was grief-stricken and crying after being rescued.
Of the sons of the old slaves, Azig, Dolgon, and Dordo were born to the great concubine Abahai. Although Azig did not have as close a relationship with his two younger brothers as Dolgon and Dordor due to his age, he still often missed his younger brothers as the eldest brother. At the beginning, Duoduo hoped to bring himself in reinforcements by marrying his uncle's daughter, and Azig risked offending Huang Taiji to run for him and ask for various matters related to his relatives. In the end, Azig was dismissed from the position of banner lord by Huang Taiji on charges of officiating without permission, but he never complained about it before Duoduo. When dealing with foreign forces, the three brothers are even more united, and they have gone through the ups and downs over the years hand in hand.
Unexpectedly, his half-brother did not die on the battlefield between the two armies, did not die in the murderous political struggle, but died in the hands of Jiang Hao, a slave with three surnames, which made Duoduo not grieve.
When Dorgon heard the news, he also came to the Dordor Mansion, and it was even more heartbreaking to see his brother like this. At the beginning, Azig and Duoduo, a brother and a brother, could be said to be his right-hand men, assisting him in eliminating Li Zicheng and pacifying Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Azig had already taken the first step, and Duoduo was so sick that he only had one breath left. Is this a punishment from heaven?
After retiring from the idlers, Dorgon worriedly persuaded: "Fifteenth brother! You have to cheer up! The twelfth brother is gone, and the brother can't lose you anymore! ”
"Brother Fourteen! I must avenge the twelfth brother! Dorgon grabbed Dorgon's arm and cried.
Dolgon gritted his teeth: "Don't worry! This time, I will personally lead the army to quell the rebellion, and I will definitely take down the heads of Jiang Jiu and all the traitors to comfort the spirit of the twelfth brother in the sky! ”
Before the rebellion in Henan was put down, Jiang Hao raised troops against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty, which made the situation in Shanxi change abruptly. Dolgon, whether it was for the purpose of avenging his brother or for the purpose of consolidating the Manchu dynasty, could not have allowed the situation to continue like this. On the one hand, he ordered the gathering of troops, horses, grain and grass to prepare for the personal expedition to Datong, and on the other hand, he issued an order to Jierharang, Kong Youde and Tan Tai, ordering them to end the local war as soon as possible and lead the army back north to participate in the suppression of the rebellion in Shanxi.
In mid-November, when the Qing court's decree was delivered to the army of Jierharang in Henan, Jierharang was being overwhelmed by the bandits in western Henan who were raising the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and returning to the Ming Dynasty. In terms of frontal combat, these thieves are naturally not the opponents of the Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners can easily win even if they are one enemy and ten. But these thieves are very cunning, never confronting the Eight Banners head-on, always using their familiarity with the terrain and intelligence advantages to skillfully deal with them, and then pounce on them and bite them fiercely when they see the opportunity. After fighting in western Henan for a month, Zilharang cut off the heads of many thieves, but obviously did not touch the core of the thieves.
Now that Dorgon's will has arrived, Zilharan has no chance to play hide and seek with the thieves, let alone go south to Huguang.
