Chapter 1116: Into the Tiger's Den
readx; More than ten miles northeast of Luanzhou City, it is a hilly area of the transition from the North China Plain to the Yanshan Mountains, and the terrain is undulating, and the oil press town is located here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info;.
This is one of the few rape flower planting areas in the north, in June and July of the lunar calendar, the rape flowers all over the mountains are blooming, and the eyes are full of tender yellow and fresh green, which is beautiful. The local people also make a living by extracting oil, and the streets of the town are full of traffic on weekdays, all of them are merchants from nearby prefectures and counties who come to buy oil, and the fragrance of oil wafts all over the town, so the name of "oil pressing town" is derived.
But since it was occupied by the Qing army, it has become a hell on earth. The rape fields had already been burned clean by the Qing army, and the corpses of the villagers who had been killed were thrown on the fields at will, and in a few months they became infiltrating skeletons, even if it snowed heavily, they could not be completely covered.
The Qing army's camp was centered on the oil press town, surrounded by thousands of white sheepskin military tents, and the commander Amin lived in the house of the largest rich man in the town. The men of that family had already been killed, and the women were all reduced to sex slaves, living a life worse than death.
Originally, the white flag could not attack Funing City, and had to retreat to the town of oil pressing, coupled with the Ming army pressing from three directions, the Qing army was still a little nervous. But since the heavy snowfall for several days, their nerves have also been completely relaxed.
In the Tohoku region, it often snows heavily in winter, and it is cold and impossible to travel after the snow, so you can only stay at home for the "cat winter", and now it is the time for the "cat winter". In the eyes of the Qing army, even hardy people like them were reluctant to go out, and the Ming army from warm areas was even less likely to take any action, so they were relieved and boldly stationed. Of course, if the road surface is frozen, they will follow Amin's plan to attack Tianjin Wei from here, and field battles in the ice and snow are also their forte.
The snow was lighter that afternoon, but the sky was still gloomy. Zhao Fengchun, the deputy leader of the Han army with a white flag, who was responsible for guarding the south gate of the Qing army's camp, was leaning on the wooden fence and napping when he suddenly heard shouting from ahead. When I opened my eyes quickly, I saw that it was a group of Qing soldiers with long braids escorting hundreds of civilians, pushing more than 200 carts slowly walking towards this side.
Zhao Fengchun couldn't help but perk up, he knew that this must be from Luanzhou to send military supplies, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to open a crack in the gate, and he led more than a dozen soldiers to meet him.
As the team got closer and closer, Zhao Fengchun found that this time it was his top boss, Gao Shangyi, the leader of the Han army with white flags, who personally led the team, and hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward with a smile: "General Gao, it is snowing so hard, and you are personally escorting the military supplies, it is really hard!" ”
Gao Shangyi said hoarsely: "Because of the heavy snow, I haven't come to deliver military supplies for several days, and the master doesn't blame him, right?" ”
"Not yet, but if you don't come again today, you won't be able to say it." Zhao Fengchun said a little strangely, "General Gao, why is your voice hoarse?" ”
"I drank too much with a few girls last night." Gao Shangyi said with a fixed face, "The weather is too cold, hurry up and send it inside, I'll rush back after sending it, those girls are still waiting for me!" ”
Zhao Fengchun laughed a few times with Gao Shangyin, that is, he beckoned his subordinates to open the door, and the common people laboriously pushed the cart through. Seeing that they were all familiar faces, Zhao Fengchun was even more suspicious, so much so that he didn't even look at the fifty Qing soldiers who covered their heads and faces tightly with cotton hats and only showed their eyes and nostrils.
The common people had come many times to deliver military supplies, and they were already familiar with the Qing army camp, and went straight to the place where the grain was stored. Gao Shangyi half-jokingly said to Zhao Fengchun: "Old Zhao, guard the gate and be careful of the Ming army robbing the camp!" ”
"The general joked, the Ming army dared to rob the camp in this ghost weather? There is no need to fight at all, and they will freeze to death! Zhao Fengchun said with a wicked smile.
Gao Shangyi talked nonsense with him again, and then led fifty Qing troops to follow the people transporting grain into the camp. When they met the Manchu soldiers on the road, Gao Shangyi and others nodded to them with a flattering expression. The Manchurians are so used to this that they don't even bother to glance at it.
Soon the crowd came to the place where the grain was stored. This is also the Han army flag with a white flag of the soldiers in charge, seeing that Gao Shangyi is coming, just about to say goodbye, Gao Shangyi hurriedly smiled: "You guys have worked hard to guard the food here, look at what good things I brought to you!" ”
As he spoke, he ordered someone to send many small jars, and said mysteriously: "This is an old wine that has been buried under the cellar of Luanzhou City Wine Workshop for ten years, except for the prince, even the Manchurians have never tasted it!" Don't make a noise, let a few of you try it! ”
Several traitors smiled with joy, thanked Gao Shangyi, and when they were praising those wine jars, Gao Shangyi glared at the Qing army and the common people and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and unload the grain!" After unloading, I'm still in a hurry to go back! ”
The people hurriedly carried the bags full of grain on their shoulders and carried them to the warehouse. Several Qing soldiers who came with him also followed, and when they saw that no one was paying attention outside, they immediately took out a long fuse from their arms, inserted one end into the grain stack, and circled the other end, so that the flames could burn for at least ten minutes. And these fuses are all blocked by food bags, and they are not visible from the outside.
At the same time, another part of the Qing army followed the common people, one tent after another, and sent fodder to the horses. The habit of the Qing army was to put the war horses together in several nearby military tents, and dozens of war horses ate a trough of forage together. The common people opened the bag and poured it into the trough, and stirred it as well as possible with wooden sticks, and the war horses immediately bowed their heads and chewed. The Qing troops in the military tent received food such as wine and meat, and it was time for dinner, and they also ate and drank happily.
After about half an hour, it was already dark. At this time, Gao Shangyi had drunk the soldiers who were in charge of the granary, and suddenly got up and shouted: "I just chatted and didn't pay attention, it's so late!" Is the grain unloaded? ”
The Qing army in the warehouse understood, and while answering "unloaded", he quietly lit the fuse with a fire fold and retreated as if nothing had happened. Gao Shangyi scolded and said: "Damn, it's so grinding, go quickly, don't miss my good deeds!" ”
Saying that, he and his subordinates escorted the people back to Yuanmen, and shouted to Zhao Fengchun: "Open Yuanmen, I'm leaving!" ”
Zhao Fengchun hurriedly ordered someone to open the door, Gao Shangyi immediately urged the people out of the camp, and he rushed out in a hurry. Zhao Fengchun was still shouting in the back: "General Gao, it's not easy to walk on the road, slow down!" Gao Shangyi didn't even look back, and soon led the team away.
Zhao Fengchun shook his head with a smile and said, "This pervert! ”
But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly found that black smoke was billowing from the direction of the granary!
