Chapter 278: Gaizhou surrenders

Mu Erfu felt that he was very lucky, the 5,000-strong army was wiped out, only he and his son escaped, not only safe, but also swaggered into Gaizhou City from the south gate, and for the rest of his life, Mu Erfu did not think about how to take revenge, but how to save the lives of his whole clan.

The deputy general Liu Jian is a banner man of the Han army, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to end, and he does not want to continue to work for the Qing Dynasty, but he can't figure out the mind of the main general Mu Erfu, so he has not missed a word to his cronies, but he heard that Mu Erfu was defeated and returned, which made him firm in his determination to surrender.

"Amma! Why are the muskets of the Han people so powerful, I charge forward with a thousand people, there are still a hundred meters away from their position, half of the casualties, and half of the casualties are another fifty meters, and the casualties are half, and there are less than two hundred escapes, that's it, and I was divided and surrounded by them, it's too miserable! It's miserable! "When Lamendo thought of the situation on the battlefield, he was so frightened that he was incoherent, he had never fought such a defeat, the enemy's body was not touched, his own side was killed and wounded, and the horses were so frightened by the muskets that they did not want to come forward, and many of his people were killed and wounded because of this.

Mu Erfu's face was expressionless, and his voice was calm: "If you are defeated, you are defeated, what's the use of saying this!" Fuck, this group of Han troops is more ruthless than the Rakshasas, even if the Rakshasas want to annihilate our five thousand, don't think about it...... Don't think about it...... Wretch! Lao Tzu has never fought such a battle! No wonder the emperor was expelled from the customs. ”

Looking at Amma, who seemed to be calm, Lamendo knew how panicked he was at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to say something rebellious, if he had said such things in the past. Amma had to whip himself a few times.

"Amma, what to do next. There were only a few thousand defenders in the city, and most of them were Han army bannermen. Not to mention that they are unreliable, even their little combat strength can't support them for long, and the imperial court hasn't sent reinforcements for so long, it seems that they have given up on us. ”

Mu Erfu didn't have any worries about his son, and when he heard his frustration, he asked directly, "Do you want to surrender?" ”

As soon as Lamendo gritted his teeth, he said what was in his heart: "Amma, you don't know what to say. My uncle has a relative who fled back from Guannei, he is Prince Zheng's clothed servant, according to him, the Han army is not blindly slaughtering Manchus, many Manchus in Guannai live and work in their hometowns, as long as they take the initiative to surrender and hand over all property, the Han army will not embarrass us. ”

Mu Erfu didn't expect to surrender and hand over his property, and asked, "Phew! Hand over all property. What do we eat? Pig as a dog for the Han people? It's better to be dead. ”

Lamendo is not so honest, he is a tyrant in the local area, although for the sake of his own clan, he does not treat ordinary Manchurians too much. However, those Han people who fled the famine and entered the customs to make a living without permission were not so polite, and it was common to take people's wives and daughters and occupy people's property.

Mu Erfu looked at his son's expression. My heart moved, and I asked, "What can you do?" “

Lamento immediately laughed and said, "Amma, we can hide the gold and silver jewelry." When the Han army withdraws, let's take it out again. The Han army can't always keep Gaizhou City, and when they leave, our family will still be rich. ”

Mu Erfu felt credible, their family had lived in Gaizhou for more than 200 years, and they didn't know how much property they had accumulated, so it was a pity that the Han army was so cheap.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in! What's up? Didn't you stop bothering! ”

The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "Master, Deputy General Liu Jian asks to see you!" ”

Mu Erfu said: "Let him come in, let him wait in the main hall, and say that I will come later." ”

"Yes, sir."

When Lamendo saw the housekeeper go out, he asked to his Ama with a gloomy face, "What is this surnamed Liu doing here?" Now most of the people in the city are his subordinates, if he is reversed, the lives of our whole clan will not be guaranteed, do you want to ...... in the mansion?"

Speaking of which, Lamendo made a neck wiping motion.

"No, no, no!" Mu Erfu waved his hand, thought about it, and then said: "It can't be like this, the city is already full of rumors, if you kill Liu Jian again, how can you calm the turmoil, if you don't wait for us to surrender, I'm afraid there will be knives to look at it." ”

Lamento asked, "So what do we do?" This time we lost the battle, and he won't be the one who asks for the guilt. ”

Mu Erfu said with a smile: "Your aunt and I are the deputy capital commander, and the deputy generals are all second-grade, but I am an authentic Manchurian, he Liu Jian does not dare to mess around unless he wants to surrender, and besides, he dares to come here alone, and he does not dare to be presumptuous!" Let's go and see what he has in mind. ”

After speaking, Mu Erfu took his son to the hall.

As soon as Liu Jian saw Mu Erfu coming in, he immediately saluted and said, "Humble duty, see your lord!" ”

Mu Erfu waved his hand and asked with a smile: "No courtesy, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what Lord Liu has to teach?" ”

Liu Jian had already thought of the reason, and said tentatively: "Today, the lord led his troops to kill the enemy outside the city, fought hard and fought bloodily, and admired the humble position, I don't know if the adult can tell me about the battlefield situation, and the humble duty is also good to be prepared, so as not to suffer the loss of the Han army again." ”

"Humph!" Lamendo thought that Liu Jian was deliberately sarcastic, and replied gloomily: "Lord Liu has the ability to go out of the city to kill the enemy by himself, who wouldn't say cool words, our father and son are fighting bloody battles outside the city, and we don't see support in the city." ”

Mu Erfu glared at Lamenduo, and then smiled at Liu Jian: "Dog Meng Lang, Lord Liu is strange, this battle is really a bit strange, now that I think about it, I feel that I am still a bag, don't hide it from Lord Liu, the Han army outside the city is well-equipped, everyone uses muskets, this musket is more powerful than the former Ming Zhu Yuanzhang, as soon as it starts, it will be endless, five hundred steps!" At a distance of 500 paces, we had casualties, which frightened me, and the brothers under my hands rushed out, and the bullets were like rain, and the brothers who rushed in front were miserable, and their bodies were eye-catching, alas! A few years ago, a relative gave me a foreign gun, which didn't look very good, one in the sky and the other underground, but I fell into a big trap, and after a battle, the whole army was wiped out. ”

As soon as Liu Jian heard this, he was relieved, it seems that this Mu Erfu has been scared, and he has blown the Han army into the sky, more powerful than foreigners? Say who believes!

Seeing Liu Jian's strange face, Lamendo scolded: "What, you don't believe it? I...... I, you have the ability to go out of the city to fight a battle with the Han army. ”

Liu Jian said with a flattering smile: "The little lord has misunderstood, how dare you suspect Lord Dutong, the Han army is so powerful, but there are less than 3,000 people in the city, and the rest are all strong men, according to what the lord said, we can't support it for a few days, we have to think of a way, what do you think?" ”

Mu Erfu heard a little taste, this Liu Jian also had the idea of surrendering, his five thousand elite cavalry were all wiped out, how could his thousands of infantry resist it, and still find a way?

Lamendo didn't hear anything at all, and seeing that he was pondering, he asked Liu Jian, "What can Master Liu do?" As long as you can hold Gaizhou, just say. ”

Liu Jian left Mu Erfu behind, seeing him pondering, he didn't know what the idea of this Lord Dutong was fighting, and replied cautiously: "The news of the adult's defeat has been blocked by his subordinates, although the squires in the city are suspicious, but there is no evidence, but this is not a way, you can hide the squires in the city, but you can't hide the Han army outside the city, if you want to keep Gaizhou from the war, there is only one way to surrender, the adults surrender, there is nothing to say about the lowly position, the adults want to live and die with the city, and the lowly duties will accompany them to the end, everything is subject to the orders of the adults, and there is no second heart." ”

Lamendo looked at Liu Jian happily, got up and said with a smile: "General Liu is really loyal and brave, and he will not hide it from the general, Ama and I have decided to surrender, what does the general think?" ”

Liu Jian looked at Mu Erfu, saw his forehead signaling, and immediately knelt down and swore an oath: "Humble swear to die." ”

Mu Erfu nodded, this Liu Jian is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is the best choice for the middleman, if there is a repetition, he can also completely control the military power in the city.

"You immediately take a few cronies out of the city to contact the Han army and discuss the conditions."

Liu Jian asked, "I don't know what is the bottom line of Lord Dutong?" ”

Mu Erfu's face trembled, and he said: "You can talk about it, and I have my own measure to set out the bottom line of the Han army." ”

Liu Jian was assured, and did not delay, immediately got up and went to the city gate, ordered his cronies to guard the gate, and took two people to the Han army camp.

"Who's coming?"

Liu Jian cautiously stepped forward to report his identity, and after a while, the Han army sent more than a dozen guards to escort Liu Jian into the big tent.

In the tent, Li Chunfa, Tan Shaoguang, Huang Zaixing and others were discussing the situation in the northeast, and they had already contacted Chen Yucheng on the northern line, intending to flank Fengtian together.

"Liu Jian, the envoy of Gaizhou, see the generals."

Li Chunfa asked, "Say! What is Gaizhou City going to do? ”

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, and replied respectfully: "Our Lord is going to surrender, and we can sacrifice the city at any time, as long as the Lord surrounds our lives." ”

"Good! General Ben agreed! Li Chunfa put all his thoughts on Fengtian and asked, "How many defenders are there in the direction of Fengtian?" You have marked it on the map, and if it is true, you will be counted as a merit, and if it is not true in the slightest, you will not be able to protect your head. ”

Liu Jian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward to say where there were heavy troops and where the defense was empty.

Li Chunfa saw that what he said was the same as that of the intelligence officers, and that several places were more detailed than those introduced by the intelligence officers, so he nodded with satisfaction and said to Huang Zaixing: "Gaizhou City will be handed over to your division, and you will send a regiment to guard the main transportation road." ”

"Yes!" Huang Zaixing said to Liu Jian: "Follow me!" ”

Liu Jian hesitated for a while, and said to Li Chun: "The villain still has an important military situation. ”

Li Chunfa smiled at everyone and said, "Say it!" General Ben is in a good mood today. ”

Liu Jian said: "General Qiyu, the general in the city, Mu Erfu, has a unified clan in the vicinity for hundreds of miles, and several important cities to the north are all defended by their family, if the general appoints Lord Dutong as the forward, he will definitely save a lot of effort." ”

Li Chunfa was excited, and said flatly: "I know the way, you go down first!" (To be continued......)
