"It's going to be customs again. We drew ten flags for each Niu Lu with blue flags, and Master Ezhen gave me one of the places. Hellicchi replied in a loud voice, "Little Nizi! Hurry up and dig through the armor and weapons you have in your collection, and scrub them clean tonight. Then I went to my uncle's house to ask for some water and wine, and drank two cups in the evening. ”

Fujia's face suddenly fell, and his face was full of worry. The only son of her family was killed in the Guannai ten years ago, and he didn't even bring his body back.

Fortunately, his son gave his life to save the old man at that time, so after the real master came back, he sent the white pig to his own house as a coated slave, and he has been taking care of his own family all these years, so that his life is still passable. But now that her husband is going on an expedition again, why isn't Fujia's anxious?

But Helicchi is the head of the family, and the Eight Banners are all soldiers. Although Helichi was old enough not to go to the battlefield, the Fujia clan still adhered to the system of Niu Lu and the rules of respect and inferiority between men and women with Helichi, so she didn't say anything, and hurried to her brother's house to ask for some wine and meat.

……

After Fu Jia went out, she returned with not only wine and meat, but also Helicchi's brother-in-law and several bannermen in the village with blue flags. All the guests came, so Fujia personally cooked and made a table of dishes, so that everyone could drink happily.

After a hearty meal, the guests had dispersed, leaving only the scraps on the table. When Fujia entered the house and was about to clean up, Helichi beckoned to her and said with a big tongue: "Little Nizi! Happy today, you will be biedong and let the white pig clean up. You drink two cups with me. ”

"Still drinking?" Fu Jia sat down in front of Helic, and when he saw that he was finally alone, Fu Jia had the courage to speak his heart. "Sir! There are always risks in fighting a war, and you are getting older. Let's talk to Lord Ejin and go to another person! ”

"You know what?" When he was drunk, Helichi's movements were a little bigger, and a lot of wine came out of the wine glass he was holding.

Seeing the wine spilled, Helicchi was quite distressed, he hurriedly covered the rest of the wine in the cup, and then shook the blushing face of the wine, and said to Fu Jia's family: "Do you know how tight the quota for entering the customs is this time? I'm going to break my head outside. That is, Lord Ezhen has been thinking of the old before he thought of our family. Again. When I was young, I also hunted black bears and followed the old Khan to fight Han dogs. Don't go for a substitution? I can't afford to lose this man. ”

"But if you have anything to do, there will only be me and Xiaoya in the family." Fujia was in a hurry, so she moved out the granddaughter Xiaoya of both of them.

"Do you think the current Han dog will still fight? They have long been broken by our Jurchens. The last time the two white flags entered the customs, there were not a few deaths at all. You can bring back so many coatings and livestock, which other flag is not red-eyed? Hangou is too rich there. It's like picking up silver. And look at what we look like with the blue flag. In the Eight Banners, I have been living a hard life, and with such an opportunity, who wouldn't want to go? "Hurley equator.

The earliest owner of the blue flag was Nurhachi's younger brother Nurhachi, who was later imprisoned to death by Nurhachi, and was succeeded by his eldest son Amin. Later, Amin was imprisoned to death by the Emperor Taiji, and the banner owner was Amin's younger brother, Prince Zheng Jierharang.

So in the Eight Flags. The blue flag is like being raised by a stepmother. In addition, after Prince Zheng Jierharang succeeded to the throne, he obeyed Huang Taiji's words and never asked for anything for the blue flag, so the blue flag was the most dirty. But the benefits are the least, so the flagmen with blue flags have long looked at the other flags. With this opportunity to enter the customs, how could they not be enthusiastic?

"But ......," Fujia looked at Helichi with a blank look, and didn't know what to say to persuade him.

Helichi grabbed Fujia's hand and said softly, "Actually, there is one more thing that Lord Ezhen is looking for me. When we come back this time, the fourth son of Lord Ezhen will marry the little girl. Lord Ezhen is a friendship, and I have seen the four sons of his family, and he is a good boy with a heroic force. But our Jurchen attaches the most importance to the mother and wife, and our family can't embarrass Lord Ezhen, but also earn face for our grandson-in-law. This time, I went to the customs to earn more dowry for Xiaoya. ”

"Also, if I want to find you a slave girl, you are too old to work hard. The white pig is a male baby, and there are always some women who do not do their jobs well, and it will be much better to have a female slave. ”

Listening to Helichi's words of concern, Fujia was also tender, and she whispered: "Then the master should be careful." ”

"Haha——!" Helichi suddenly became daxiao, "Little Nizi! You're still that stupid little girl! You think I'm going alone? I told my brother-in-law just now, they all have people from each family, and there are four babies to accompany me, and with them, we can take care of each other. ”

"But didn't Lord Ezhen only promise you one place?" Fujia asked curiously.

"Externally, it claims to be my coating. Anyway, there are more people who go, and Lord Ezhen will open his eyes and close his eyes. Doesn't he want more people to go? There are many people who take a lot of things! Hurley chuckled.

"But what if the cow is drawn again?"

"You can rest assured. The family I promised had at least three dings at home. Even if it is two per household, it is no problem. I've thought of this for a long time. ”

"Oh! And also! This time I'm going to bring the white pig with me. You wait! White Pig! White Pig! Helicchi shouted.

Outside the house, there was a trotting sound, and the white pig rushed into the inner room, nodded and said, "Master!" What's the matter with a minion? ”

"Have you wiped all those armors and weapons?" As soon as he saw the white pig, Helichi straightened his waist, looking like an old man.

"It's all shiny! Father! ”

"That's good! Don't forget to feed the horses night food in the evening. Feed it more concentrate to make it grow more fat. But don't you steal it? ”

"Yes! Father! ”

"Also, this time, you prepare and enter the customs with the master. Take good care of you, find you a Han dog woman, so that you will have a little cub in the future. Seeing that the white pig was stunned, Helichi immediately raised his voice and roared, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Yes! Father! ”

"Then you go down first!"

When the white pig left, Fujia couldn't help but say: "This Han dog is not familiar with it, and the old man Weishenme wants to be kind to let him enter the customs." What if he runs away then? ”

Because of the death of their only son, Helichi and Fujia both hated the Han people, so they gave this coating the name of "White Pig."

"Where can he go? are all dressed as Jurchens, do they run to the Han dog and send them over to kill? One more person is like having one more donkey, and you can carry a little more things on your back at that time. Besides, how can just one coating be enough? I also hope that he will have a few more little minions to serve our family in the rest of his life. Hurley chuckled.

"Then you better be careful. It turned out that there was a pair of armor in the house. Hey——! Thinking of his only son who stayed in Kannai, Fujia couldn't help but sigh.

Helicchi was also silent for a while, then she smiled reluctantly and comforted Fujia: "Don't worry! Lady Ejin promised to lend me a pair of armor. Besides, Xiao Nizi, you took a fancy to me back then, didn't I mean that I was first-class in riding and shooting? Even now, who in the village is better at archery than me? I taught those babies horseback riding and archery kung fu. ”

"That's just as well!"

On the third day, when Helicchi took five people to Niu Lu Ezhen to assemble, he was surprised to find that the other bannermen who had been selected were more or less clothed with real and fake coats. So everyone laughed tacitly while waiting.

It wasn't until Niu Lu Ezhen left the house with more than a dozen Baoyi that they stopped making noise. The cow looked at the people who were about to set off with a smile, and didn't say anything, just drove the horse and said, "Let's go!" ”

Helichi, the ten flagmen selected by Niu Lu, there were more than 50 people who set off from Zuihou.

Because the Manchu Eight Banners regarded this southern expedition as a feast, when they arrived in Zuihou, even Huang Taiji could not suppress the anger of the people in the Eight Banners. For this reason, Huang Taiji could only transfer troops and increase the strength of this southern expedition.

At the end of August, Huang Taiji decreed: Dolgon was the general who was ordered, and Yue Zhi was the general of Yangwu. Dolgon's left flank, Hauge and Abatai as deputies; Yue Tuo commanded the right wing soldiers, and Du Du was the deputy, and he was divided into two ways.

In this southern expedition, more than 4,000 bannermen from the Manchu Eight Banners gathered in Shengjing, and more than 13,000 bannermen and true and false coatings could really arrive. In addition, there are 3,000 Mengbaqi, Sanshun Wang and Xushun Gong, as well as 5,000 people from the Han Army Banner, and more than 1,500 firecrackers drawn from Korea, totaling more than 22,000 soldiers and horses.

After that, the army went all the way to the west, first came to the Mongolian Horqin tribe, Dolgon and his father-in-law, who was also the father of the famous Da Yu'er - Zaisang. Buhe, as well as the major Zasaks of the Mongol tribes, held a grand expedition feast.

Then Dorgon's old man began to work hard. In fact, there was no need for him to work hard, when he heard the news of the Qing army's southern expedition again, Horqin, Chahar, Duoyan and other Mongolian tribes rushed to dispatch troops, and even some Mongolian herdsmen carried broken knives and wooden guns to join this army, so that more than 11,000 Mongolian soldiers and herdsmen were raised.

Huang Taiji personally led a large army, cruising and feinting between Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, putting pressure on the Ming army on the Ningjin defense line and restraining them from entering the customs to help.

On September 22, Yue Tuo led more than 17,000 horses on the right flank to enter from the mouth of Zilingkou, the northeast wall of Miyun; On September 28, 18,000 soldiers and horses on the left wing led by Dolgon also entered the fortress through the Great Wall at Qingshan Pass.

The Second Battle of the Entrance broke out. (To be continued......)
