Yinyu slept in the guest room provided by Salin, which was the only time he slept soundly in the past twenty days, but he didn't know that when he was sleeping soundly, the news that an elder brother came to Datong with Kangxi's edict had spread throughout the city, and the gentry in the city had already prepared their backs, and they couldn't help but get nervous at this time, for fear that the green battalion soldiers would take some drastic actions under the power of the Qing Dynasty.
But nothing happened, except for the comings and goings of the committee members of the governor's yamen to raise chariots, horses, and food, that is, the flag officials from all over the country gathered in Datong in an endless stream, and even more than a dozen banner military attachés below Dong Jia, the chief soldier of the Eighth Banner, who supervised the battle on the front line of Yanmen Pass, also rushed back from the front line, which made those who suffered from gains and losses believe that the Manchurians were preparing to escape.
In the minds of the gentry of the whole city of Datong, it is best for the banner people to escape by themselves, everyone does not have conflicts, does not hurt the harmony, and it is not difficult to meet again in the future, after all, no one knows if the Manchurians can make a comeback like their ancestors now.
On September 13, the 51st year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the advance of the Xia army arrived south of the Sanggan River, which was only a stone's throw away from Datong. The form shì was so urgent, even if the retreat preparations of Yinyu, Jue Luo Salin and the others were not fully completed, they could not wait any longer. So at noon that day, about 400 Eight Banner officials escorted more than 70 carriages carrying grain and civil officials to slowly leave the governor's line in the center of the city and march towards the north gate of Datong.
gone, it is estimated that he will never come back, looking at this picturesque country, Yinyu on the horse is full of emotion.
Yinyu was still feeling, and a beggar who was shrinking at the corner of the street suddenly threw the only broken bowl in his hand at the Manchurians who had evacuated in a hurry. Naturally, the hungry beggar did not have the strength to break the bowl and throw it far, but this insulting action immediately attracted imitators, and those Han people who peeked through the cracks in the doors and windows to see the Manchurians fleeing did not know where the courage came from, and they opened the windows and doors one after another, and threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even sand and gravel into the Manchurian convoy, smashing the people to look at each other and change color.
Dong Jia, who was hit by a stone, and several Eight Banner military attachés viciously pulled out their knives and wanted to make a move at the people who threw sundries, but Yinyu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't make any extraneous branches, hurry up, once delayed, you can't leave if you want to!" ”
Dong Jia had no choice but to order the knife to be retracted, and this scene was seen by the surrounding people, which immediately caused a huge reaction. It's over! The mountain that weighed on the head fell! Ordinary people with tears in their eyes beat gongs and drums while spitting at the backs of the fleeing people, and the city became noisy.
"This group of damned people, the fourteenth master is good-natured, if I call the shots, I will kill them all." In the almost indifferent eyes of the green battalion soldiers guarding the city gate, Dong Jia, who left Datong, cursed angrily. "I knew that Lao Tzu would have brought his troops back to slaughter Datong, or the fourth master did a good job in Hanzhong, these people are not familiar with the ??????"
Yinyu, who was interested in Shanshan, didn't want to answer, but Dong Jia's words were clearly saying that he was weak, and he was a little young and vigorous, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he picked up the whip and gave Dong Jia a look: "Bastard minion, what kind of eyes do you have, don't you see the appearance of those green battalion soldiers, if you really do it, how many people do you think here can get out of Datong safely." ”
Jue Luo Salin followed and said: "Brother Fourteen is right, these days many people are in tandem in private, I don't know if we are ready to sacrifice Datong, if we start to do it, it will happen to be used by these guys to make a contribution, or more is better than less thing, let's just this little bit of people, we can't lose it." ”
Although Dong Jia felt that the words of the two were a bit exaggerated, Yinyu was the prince and the master after all, and he was not good at going down the five flags, so he could only reluctantly bow his head and admit his mistakes. Yinyu also knew that he was not out of danger now, and he had to protect Dongjia a few times, so he didn't pursue it, and the matter ended here.
It's just that Yinyu thought of this, but Dong Jia was still dissatisfied in his heart, of course, now that the Qing Dynasty is in danger, and the banner people are also detached, otherwise even if Yinyu beats him to death, Dong Jia will not feel how much wronged he has, and maybe he feels that he is not involved in the family and thanks to Bei Ziye's grace.
After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road ahead, on one side was to go to the east of Caishao Mountain, through the Nanyang River and the Dayang River Valley to Wanquan, and then take Zhangjiakou to go out; the other is to continue northward and go directly out of the Datong side wall and enter the Chahar banners; Another one is to go in the direction of Shuoping Mansion (Youyu), and go to Tumut Banner through the mouth of Killing Tiger (Hu). Since Huaxia has surrendered the Tumut Banner and the Erlut Banner, the road to the west to kill the tiger's mouth must not be chosen, and the only way left is to go north or east.
The road to Wanquan and Zhangjiakou to the east is relatively close, and it is convenient to move in densely populated areas; Although it was a long detour to Chahar, he could get the help of the commanders of the banners of the Lifan Yuan in Chahar; Therefore, there are pros and cons to each one. However, before leaving Datong, Yinyu, Salin and Dongjia had already discussed, and felt that the Xia army was going to attack Beijing and not control Zhangjiakou so quickly, so they felt that they would take the risk of taking the eastern front in order to escape into the grassland before the Xia army.
Since they had made up their minds early in the morning, everyone didn't think much about it, and even turned to the east road. However, after less than half an hour of travel, two fast horses came after him, and the knight on the horse was still shouting some words that he could not hear clearly, and immediately raised the vigilance of the crowd, and several of them with bird guns and bows and arrows pointed their weapons at each other.
Gradually, the knight behind him approached, Yinyu looked at the face of the comer, and suddenly let out a surprise call: "Don't move, put down your weapons, that, that's the starling, the eighth brother." ”
Hearing that the person chasing was the Eight Sages King, several Manchurian civil and military officers who recognized Yinxi either straightened up from their horses or got out of the mule carriage, and looked behind them with wide eyes one by one. Soon, except for a few short-sighted ones, most of the people recognized Yinyu, and they suddenly became excited, if it weren't for Yinyu, they would almost rush over to surround the comers.
Yinyu was also very excited, and when Yinyu got closer, he turned over and dismounted to greet him: "Starling, you, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Yinyu gasped and nodded at Yinyu and Salin. "You can't take this road, ten days ago, the Xia army had already occupied Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou, and if you go any further, I'm afraid that you will be caught in the net."
Yinyu glanced at Yinyu suspiciously: "Starling, how do you know, by the way, what about the old thirteen?" He didn't follow you? ”
"I'll make a U-turn and I'll talk to you later." At the urging of Yinxi, the convoy turned around, and immediately drove towards Chahar, taking advantage of the opportunity of the convoy to turn around, Yinxi told the things that were born to him, and said with a sigh after speaking. "Old Thirteen is a good man, I'm not as good as him."
Hearing that Yinxiang decided to defend Anyang to buy time for several other departments to retreat north, Yinyu also shed tears, only to see him turn over and dismount and kowtow in the direction of Anyang: "Old Thirteen, although I Yinyu has always looked at you unpleasantly, and I feel that you have divided the attention of Eniang and the fourth brother, but now I am ?????? you."
Accompanying Yinyu and Yinyu shed a few tears, Jue Luo Salin asked: "Eighth Master, you said that you pretended to be the Xia Army's herald rider to be able to go all the way north into Shanxi, so do you have any more news." ”
Jue Luo Salin asked this, and felt that the Manchurian civil and military who were qualified to surround the two elder brothers all raised their minds and listened.
I heard Yinxi sigh: "It's all bad news, except that the third child was arrested and the fourth child was killed, the boss was also defeated, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and even the prince himself was killed in battle." ”
Even if they knew early on that the Qing Dynasty was definitely going to die, these Manchu officials still couldn't help but tremble, and Dong Jia immediately asked: "Eighth Master, then, what about Beijing City?" What about the emperor? ”
"Beijing City was breached as early as August, but before I entered Yanmen, I only heard that the Xia army had besieged the Forbidden City and had not yet started, so I don't know the current situation." Yin Xi replied, making the faces of those Eight Banners civilians and warriors who were still looking forward to the safety of their families turn pale one by one. "As for Huang Ama, I heard that he is still in the Forbidden City, but I thought it was impossible, Huang Ama got the news of the defeat earlier than Ben Ama, and I thought that he had already left the Shanhaiguan, and he was only a stand-in in the capital."
Of course, Yinxi said this to boost everyone's confidence, after all, only Kangxi still has a little appeal to unite the Manchurians. As he expected, when he heard that Kangxi might be fine, the faces of the hundreds of bannermen looked a little better, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw in a desperate place.
"Okay, the car hasn't turned around." As soon as Yinyu arrived, he naturally robbed Yinyu of the limelight, everyone surrounded him, and the words he said were more authoritative. "Hurry up, hurry up and get in the car, let's go, rush to Chahar, we have a glimmer of life, before that, I won't say much, but who is left behind, don't think that someone will wait for you??????"
The team continued to act, looking at Yinyu who was in the lead, Yinyu's coat couldn't help but lower his voice and said in Yinyu's ear: "Master, look at the eighth master, throw the thirteenth master on the top bar, and run away by himself, but now he is alive." ”
Yinyu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at his own minions: "Shut up, don't look at what time it is now, it is the moment to help each other in the same boat, and dare to say such words to sow discord, do you really think that your little credit makes the master reluctant to kill you?" ”
"Master," Bao Yi quickly swept around, and saw that everyone seemed to be only interested in the march and did not pay attention, so he continued. "Master, now that the prince is gone, and the emperor's life and death are uncertain, if only you and the eighth master return to the gate, this ??????"
"Don't say it." Yinyu glanced at Bao Yi. "Huang Ama hasn't gone yet."
"If only the emperor had already gone ??????"
"Shut up!" Yinyu threw a horsewhip on Bao Yi's body, and then drove the horse to catch up with Yinyu, who had already run away. "Starling, we have to sum up, how should we fight with Huaxia in the future??????"
