Shakespeare famously said that to survive or to ruin, that is a question.

Everyone is afraid of death, and in the face of death, not many people can still get up, and in the face of the bayonets that shine with cold light, the people are full of succumbs. Of course, there are also many bloody Manchus who will roar and resist, but so far those Manchus have confirmed a truth with their lives, that is, any bravery in front of the fire has become a joke.

It took 30,000 cavalry half a month to sweep all the villages within a radius of 100 miles with Shengjing as the center.

Today's Yue Yang is in a good mood, with a group of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers to hunt in a woods, there are a lot of prey here, with his not very clever marksmanship actually hit two hares and a small wild boar, this thing is not happy, completely forgetting that it was Chen Dazhi next to him who helped to make up the gun before the wild boar was put down.

At this time, Wu Chengfeng, who had been busy for more than half a month, also came back.

"Qi Qi Hou Ye, after half a month of searching and arresting, most of the Tartars within a hundred miles of Shengjing have been arrested by the last general and others, please give instructions to Hou Ye!"

Seeing Wu Chengfeng, who was standing upright, standing motionless in front of him, Yue Yang looked at him carefully, and found that Wu Chengfeng had become a little dark and thin after half a month, and he nodded slightly: "Have you counted the number of those Tartars?" ”

Wu Chengfeng hurriedly replied: "Hou Ye, the number of Tartars has been counted, there are more than 263,700 Tartars in total, and now the last general has placed them more than 60 miles southeast of Shengjing, waiting for Hou Ye to dispose of them. ”

"If there is anything to deal with this kind of thing, you immediately sue Wuqing and ask him to arrange for people to divide these into two parts, one part to go to Shanxi by land, and the other to Shandong by sea. As for you, I'll rest for a day. Tomorrow continue to search north and dig up all the tartars you see! ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Wu Chengfeng saluted Yueyang and was about to turn around and leave, but he was surrounded by a group of Xuanda generals, and they followed Wu Chengfeng one by one to please the wine and drink.

Feng Xiaoyun, who is currently the general of the Right Route Army of the Xuanda Army, hugged Wu Chengfeng's shoulders with a smile and pulled him into the distance, and scolded with a smile: "Chengfeng, you are what I grew up watching, I originally thought that you can't beat the stuffy guy with three sticks, and I guess I won't be able to please my daughter-in-law in this life, but I never thought that I would quietly get along with the daughter of the Hou Ye's family." This is called a real person not showing his face. ”

The generals on the side also looked at Wu Chengfeng with all kinds of eyes, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred were in them. Yueyang has a beautiful girl everyone knows, many people use guò in various ways to figure out guò and Yueyang marriage to climb this line, but they were all rejected by Yueyang, I never thought that this taciturn guy on weekdays actually won the lottery, and now it is flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix. Although Wu Chengfeng is only a small guerrilla general now, as long as he has Yue Yang's support, he will be promoted to general and deputy general or even general army within a few years.

Fortunately, although everyone's eyes are hot, they also know that this kind of thing is due to each person's own fate. It was useless to be envious, and after a while, Wu Chengfeng was let go, and Wu Chengfeng was able to get out and leave.

On a beach more than 100 miles from Shengjing, it is in the middle of nowhere. Originally, there was only a small fishing village, but since the arrival of the Weihai Wei Sailors, it has become lively, and countless boats have been coming in and out day and night. Every day, large quantities of supplies are unloaded here and then transported to the front. And these days, those ships that brought supplies have one more task when they return home, that is, to load the Manchurian people captured by the Xuan army onto the ship and transport them to Shandong.

At a distance of several tens of miles from the beach. Nearly 100,000 people are all gathered in a place of less than four or five square kilometers, not to mention the crowding, eating, drinking and Lazar are big problems, plus the Xuanda army is still fighting on the front line, where can I take care of these captured Jurchens, these people can only get a very little food every day to ensure that they are not starved to death, it is simply impossible to eat enough. It's not that no one has resisted, but the heads of those who resist are still hanging on the flagpole, this is the method of the Xuan army to manage the enemy, simple and brutal but effective.

As soon as the group stopped, the camp began to stir up, and countless people swarmed as if they had received a signal, each with a variety of bowls in their hands, and they came to these carts and lined up consciously under the supervision of the sergeants with firearms around them, waiting for the meal.

At this moment, a soldier came from outside the camp, he was wearing an ordinary green military uniform, three yellow stars on his left chest and a blue bar indicating that he was an officer of the rank of 100 generals, followed by a young woman dressed in Han Chinese clothing.

This soldier is subordinate to the night does not collect Bai Kai, at this time the Xuan army in Yueyang's continuous transformation has a prototype of the modern army, especially not long ago Yueyang is the first time that the military rank system was introduced into his troops, which is also an unprecedented initiative of the Ming army.

Walking into this temporary camp, Bai Kai couldn't help frowning as he looked at the crowd of people, turned his head to the woman behind him and said: "Su Wan Guerjia, although most of the people around Shengjing have been arrested by us, these people have been assigned to several places to be settled, so I don't dare to guarantee that your family and parents are also here, so you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Su Wan Guerjia's eyes were red: "The slave knows that no matter whether she can find her parents today, the slave and the maid will thank the master." ”

Hearing Su Wan Guerjia say this, Bai Kai felt upset for a while, and waved his big hand and said: "I said a long time ago that we Han people don't want to be masters and slaves." And I used to be from a hard background, and I didn't have so many rules, so you should call me by my name in the future. ”

"Slaves don't dare!" After Su finished whispering, Guerjia didn't speak again, just kept looking around, hoping to see a familiar face.

It's just that there are too many people gathered here, and where can she find the person she is looking for for a while, as time goes by, the disappointment on Su Wanguerjia's face is getting stronger and stronger, Bai Kai looks at her in his eyes and doesn't make a sound, just follows her and keeps looking for her.

Just as Su Wan Guerjia gradually lost his patience, there was a sudden commotion ahead. Then a commotion was heard, and soon more than a dozen sergeants with guns rushed over. It is human nature to love to see the excitement, and Bai Kai, who was curious, pulled Su Wan Guerjia and walked towards the noisy place.

When they came to the place where the incident occurred, they saw several Manchus beating an old man who fell to the ground, these Manchus pressed the old man to the ground while beating his mouth and kept cursing something in Manchu, the surrounding sergeants saw this situation but did not step forward to stop it, but watched slowly, in their opinion, as long as they did not kill people on the spot, it was not a big deal, and they had the right to have fun.

At this time, the beaten old man struggled to raise his head, and shouted and scolded loudly while struggling. Su Wan Guerjia, who was originally just following Bai Kai to watch the excitement, couldn't help but move when she heard the old man's voice, and immediately ran up, only to see her come to the old man and ask in Manchu: "Uncle Bayana, is it you, Uncle Bayana." ”

Hearing Su Wan Guerjia's voice, the old man raised his head and looked over, his expression was suddenly stunned, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "Su Wan Guerjia, why are you?" ”

"Uncle Bayana, why are you here?" Su Wan Guerjia showed a look of surprise. If you go forward, you will help the old man up.

Su Wan Guerjia did this, but the few people next to him were not happy, and a middle-aged man glared at her and shouted, "What do you want to do, this girl?" Itchy skin? ”

What's more, a man came over and wanted to beat Su Wan Guerjia, but as soon as his hand was raised, he felt a strong force coming from his abdomen, and then the whole person was kicked to the ground. The beaters were furious. was about to rush forward when he heard a rush of footsteps next to him, and then a blunt Manchu sentence sounded, "Who dares to move Lao Tzu to kill him again!" ”

Only then did these Manchurians realize that there was a Ming army officer standing in front of them, and at this time he had already taken out a short gun and aimed it at them. The muzzle of the black hole shone with a dazzling cold light.

Seeing this officer of the Ming army, the faces of these beaters suddenly showed fear, these days they have learned the ruthless methods of the Ming army. They are full of people and people fight with the Ming army, but if they dare to do something to the Han people, the end will be very miserable, the light is whipped and the heavy is beheaded, under the severe punishment, these former unruly people have all become docile sheep.

Those few people looked at Bai Kai, who was grim, and didn't even dare to say much, so they quickly lay on the ground and didn't even dare to breathe, waiting anxiously for the Ming army officer's disposal.

Looking at these people, Bai Kai didn't bother to care about them, and waved his hand to signal them to get out of here. Seeing that this Ming army officer didn't bother to pay attention to himself, these people breathed a sigh of relief like amnesty, and hurriedly helped each other and left here quickly.

It was only at this time that Bai Kai was able to set his eyes on Su Wan Guerjia on the side and the old man on the ground.

At this time, Su Wan Guerjia had already helped the old man up and said with a crying voice: "Uncle Bayan, have all the people in our village been arrested, how are my Ama Eniang and my younger siblings?" ”

After the old man was helped up, he looked up and saw Su Wan Guerjia, his originally stubborn and angry expression became pleasantly surprised, he grabbed her hand and shouted in surprise: "Su Wan Guerjia, why are you here?" Do you know that since you disappeared, your Ama and Eniang have been worried about you to death. ”

Su Wan Guerjia's face also showed excitement, "Uncle Bayan, are my Ama and Eniang okay, are they also here now?" ”

"In...... In. The old man nodded, and then his expression darkened a little, "It's just that your Amma's health has not been very good, and the fever has been going down these days, and your mother has been taking care of him, so you better go and see him......"

Su Wan Guerjia turned around and looked at Bai Kai with a pleading look in his eyes, "Master, the slave wants to go and see Amma, is it okay?" ”

Bai Kai sighed lightly, "Let's go, I'll go with you!" ”

The two of them were led by the old man named Bayan'a to an uncle, and under the big tree there was a pile of hay, on which lay a man, and beside him was an old woman with pale hair and two children of seven or eight years old.

After Su Wanguerjia trotted all the way to the haystack, he hugged the old man on it, and cried loudly. Soon, the old lady and the two children next to her also recognized her, and the family hugged and cried together, looking at the crying family, Bai Kai sighed lightly and turned around and left silently.

The family cried together for a while. After Su Wanguerjia, he choked up and asked, "Eniang, Ama has always been very good, how could he be so sick?" ”

The old woman couldn't cry so much, she took her daughter's hand and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Since we learned that your uncle's village was slaughtered by the Ming army, we all thought that you were no longer there, and your father has been sighing for a long time, plus we have been hungry and full since we were captured by the Ming army...... Not really! The old woman began to weep again.

"Eniang, since your father is sick, why don't you ask for a doctor?"

As soon as Su finished speaking, Guerjia noticed that something was wrong. Sure enough, the old woman immediately smiled bitterly: "What stupid things are you talking about, we are mortal enemies with the Ming Kingdom, it would be good if they didn't make trouble for us, how can you expect the Ming Army to send a doctor to treat us." ”

Su Wan Guerjia gritted his teeth and turned his head to speak, but found that Bai Kai, who was originally standing behind him, was gone. She was about to ask, but saw Bai Kai leading a doctor with a medicine box on his back. I saw Bai Kai pointing to Su Wan Guerjia's Ama who was lying on the grass and said a few words, the doctor nodded, gave him a pulse for a while and touched his forehead, and finally said: "He is angry." If he is not treated in time, he may have to worry about his life, and the old man will have his fever to subside. ”

After speaking, the doctor first gave the patient a skin test. After a quarter of an hour, he checked the patient's arm, then took out the syringe and injected it into the patient's buttocks, and then said to Bai Kai: "The old man will come and give him another injection tonight, and it is estimated that his fever will subside." It wouldn't be a big deal to let him recuperate for a while these days. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Doctor! Bai Kai gratefully saluted the doctor, then took out seven or eight silver dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into the doctor's hand and said gratefully: "A little care, please be sure to accept it." ”

The doctor smiled and did not shirk. I took it. Although there are regulations in the army, if the officers and soldiers in the army are injured, they have the right to enjoy free treatment, but these Manchurians do not have this right, not to mention that the doctor just used the patient is the penicillin that Yue Yang got back from modern times, this drug is a sought-after item in the army, and the sick doctor who is not particularly strict will not give it to him, and now that the doctor has used it for the patient, Bai Kai naturally owes the doctor a favor, and the doctor is also at ease with these few silver dollars.

After sending the doctor away, Su Wan Guerjia knelt down in front of Bai Kai and choked up: "Thank you, master, you saved the slave's Amma, and the slave and maid will repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse!" ”

Bai Kai sighed lightly and helped Su Wan Guerjia up, "That's it, you get up, you are already my person, since you have difficulties, how can I stand by and watch, I see that your family has also suffered a lot here, I will send some things later, you give your family something good to eat first, otherwise you can't bear such a sun and rain body." Okay, I'll go first......"

After speaking, Bai Kai turned around and walked outside. Behind him, Su Wan Guerjia couldn't stop kowtowing to him, and muttered in his mouth: "Master, you can rest assured that Su Wan Guerjia will repay your kindness with a lifetime." ”

Looking at Su Wanguerjia's appearance, his mother on the side naturally knew what was going on, but sighed lightly but did not speak. And the old man Bayana on the side naturally knew that Su Wan Guerjia must have been the woman of this Ming State officer, and the corners of his mouth squirmed twice, and he didn't say anything in the end. Since they were captured by the Ming army, they were escorted here and waited to be sent to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, because of the difficult and dangerous road along the way, and there was little food, I don't know how many people died on the road, and now Su Wan Guerjia is with this Ming officer, it is not a bad choice, at least with the care of the Ming officer, the chance of their family being able to survive will also be greatly increased.

The night once again shrouded the earth, and tonight the dark clouds were very thick, and there were lightning flashes from time to time in the thick clouds, and then a muffled thunder sounded in the air, and slowly the raindrops of beans began to fall from the sky, and soon turned into a downpour, and the whole sky became extremely dark.

In this dark night, a black shadow slowly crawled from the dark night in the direction of Shengjing City, this black shadow moved very slowly, unless you looked closely at a close distance, you couldn't find him at all.

This black shadow seems to be very familiar with the position of the Ming army, he is very skilled to avoid the Ming army sentry on the position, he spent about two quarters of an hour cautiously avoiding a group of light and dark sentry and travel sentry, towards the front of the Shengjing city wall, when he left the sight of the Ming army sentry post, then speed up and ran towards the Shengjing city wall.

When this black shadow disappeared, two black-clothed figures slowly appeared from the position of the Ming army, and at this time, a lightning bolt swept through the air, illuminating the below, and one of the black-clothed people was the deputy director of the Yama Division, Jiang He......
