Chapter 802: Going to the Battle
Yongning Supervisor expelled most of the people when the Qing army occupied it. Although the Ming army relaxed its control after the capture, there were still not many people in the city. Especially after nightfall, there were even fewer pedestrians, and the entire city fell into a tranquility of death. However, just after the third update, the gate of the military camp opened, and countless cavalrymen drove out of the camp in military uniforms and gathered towards the north gate.
Jimu and several generals of the cavalry battalion quickly climbed to the top of the city, bowed with fists and said, "Report to the military gate, Huang Qianshi, the two thousand cavalrymen have been assembled, each with two horses and sixty feather arrows. The temporary clothes of the Qing army are worn, and you can set off at any time."
Zhou Xian nodded and turned sideways back. The three soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, holding up three flags in their hands. Zhou Xian took one of them and spread it out: "This is a Daming Sun and Moon Army Flag, which represents the self-esteem and honor of the Daming. I will give it to you now and insert it into the deepest place you can reach this expedition."
Jimu knelt down on one knee, took the military flag and said, "Don't worry, when you go this time, you will surely shock the entire enemy."
Zhou Xian nodded slightly and turned to the side and said, "Chief Huang, you can hand over the remaining two flags to them!"
Huang Fei stepped forward and took out the other side and said, "I named the Liao army for a while, and there is no official military flag. This side was made by Zhou Junmen and I in a short time and urgently. It is very simple. The background is red, and there are only three large characters in bold texts on it. The red silk bottom is the blood and tears of millions of Han people in Liaodong, and the three large characters in the Liao army are the ambition and vision of our army. One day, this army will make the captains frightened and make them tremble when they hear these three words."
As he said that, Huang Fei glanced at the people in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Gao Qi, come forward."
Gao Qi was standing aside, but he didn't expect it to be related to him. He was stunned for a while before he stepped forward and said, "The villain is here."
Huang Fei said: "You don't admit that you are a member of my Liao army, but Zhou Junmen said that you will be one day. Because I believe in the vision of Zhou Junmen, I believe in you too. We have written a letter to recommend you as the general of the Ming Dynasty. This flag will be kept by you and brought it back, and my two thousand men."
The risks taken when entering the enemy's territory are self-evident. If there is no one who is familiar with the local terrain, it is to seek death. In the Ming army, there is not that the Qing Dynasty surrendered voluntarily, but their identities are generally too low and they are not able to be the leader of these two thousand people. But Gao Qi is different. He returned to the Qing army in Songshan, was deeply trusted by Li Lutai, and was recruited to most parts of Liaodong. Moreover, his idea of privately investing in Ming Dynasty was very careful about the geography of various places. If he were to lead the way, the possibility of success in this matter would be at least much higher.
For this reason, Zhou Xian, who had already allowed Gao Qi to leave, had to violate his promise and try his best to convince him to participate in this action. Although Gao Qi was very reluctant, he reluctantly agreed in the end. But he always thought that he was just a leader, but he did not expect that Zhou Xian and Huang Fei would give him such a great courtesy. He was silent for a long time, and finally took the flag and said, "I must do my best to receive the order." When he stood up, he raised the flag and greeted Zhou Xian.
Huang Fei nodded, then picked up the third flag and said, "Han Yong, come out. This third flag is the camp flag of the Xiaoqi Camp. There was a camp flag when the Xiaoqi Camp was founded. But at that time there were only three words: Xiaoqi Camp, but later Jimu embroidered a tiger on it, and you put a pair of wings on the tiger yourself. He also said that the Xiaoqi Camp is a cavalry, and it should go to the sky and the earth like a tiger, and it is omnipotent. Now the military gate is correct, and this flying tiger will be used as the camp flag of the Xiaoqi Camp. As long as the Xiaoqi Camp exists for a day, the flag will fly forever. I hope that as you said, all the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Camp can go to the sky and the earth and be omnipotent."
Han Yong took the military flag with a smile on his face, sighed, "It's a little smaller than the Liao army's military flag, but it's better than it. Huang Qianshi, can you change it to a bigger one?"
Huang Fei was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Get out!"
Han Yong smiled faintly and consciously stepped aside.
Ji Mu stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Xian and Huang Fei and said, "Military, Huang Junshi, we are about to set off. Do you have anything else to explain?"
Huang Fei sighed softly and said, "Jimu, try to bring everyone back as much as possible. The symbolic significance of this matter is greater than that of practical significance. It does not lie in how many Tartars killed, but rather in showing that to the people in the world that Liaodong belongs to our Ming Dynasty. Once it causes shock to the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, it will be reversal immediately and you must not fight in love."
Jimu clasped his fists and said, "I understand."
Zhou Xian thought for a while and said, "Haoge and Dorgon are not in harmony, and they will definitely take action in order to fight for the throne. Although this kind of attack may not start a war directly, their forces will definitely gather in the direction of Shenyang. Under such chaos, the Qing army uniforms you wear should be concealed for a period of time. Therefore, in the process of advancing north, do not take action without taking action. Even if you are forced to take action, you must try to do without leaving any trace. You can kill everything you see, and you must not put the entire army in trouble because of your soft heart. Also, in the process of advancing north
If you can do not divide the troops, don’t divide the troops. The same is true during the retreat. If you are bitten by the Qing army, you can divide the troops southward when you have no choice, but you can’t disperse them too much. Only when you hold your fists up will be strong, and after you spread it, you can only be broken one by one. Lastly, your lives are more important than anything. You can abandon extra horses, armor, and weapons. In short, in order to survive, you can abandon anything. Jimu, Han Yong, I also need you to defeat Liu Zeqing in Jinan and I in the army. All of you must come back safely."
Everyone looked excited and bowed, "Please rest assured to the military."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The north gate was slowly opened, and two thousand cavalrymen disappeared into the vast dark night.
Huang Fei stepped forward and sighed, "Military Gate, let's go down!"
Zhou Xian was silent for a moment and said, "Huang Qianshi, do you think I did the right thing this time?"
Huang Fei shook his head and said, "I can't explain it clearly. But as you said before, millions of Han people in Liaodong are better than death when the Manchus rule. As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we should give them some hope. I don't know whether Jimu can return safely this time, but we will definitely be able to hit Manchus hard. What I am more worried about now is that if something really happens to them, our army will not be able to attack Liu Zeqing on both sides, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win."
Zhou Xian waved his hand and smiled, "Liu Zeqing! A coward who defeated the main force of the official army but did not dare to advance north. He would only shrink in Jinan to support an emperor puppet. Why can't I defeat him? What I am worried about is the rebel army stationed in Jining and Sun Kewang who captured Yangzhou. Will they take advantage of our army's battle with Liu Zeqing? Huang Chenshi, it has been delayed here for a long time. I want to rush back to Denglai as soon as possible. I will give you the matter here."
Huang Fei nodded and asked, "When are you going to leave at that military gate?"
Zhou Xian said: "Just now! I don't feel sleepy anymore anyway. After I left, I issued a notice saying that the two thousand cavalrymen had returned to Denglai with me to confuse the public. In addition, close the city gate for two days and close the news as much as possible to prevent the Qing army from doing a detailed work to convey the changes in the city. As much as possible, ensure the safety of Jimu and the others."
The two walked down the city side by side. A soldier who was wandering not far away suddenly walked forward and shouted, "General Zhou..."
Zhou Xian looked up at him, waved his hand to signal the guards on both sides to move aside, and smiled faintly: "Sakhana! Is there anything you have to do with me?"
Huang Fei frowned and whispered to Zhou Xian: "He now has a Chinese name called Huang Hana. Military Sect, tell me! I'll prepare horses for you."
Zhou Xian nodded and watched Huang Fei leave. Before he could speak, Sakhana fell to the ground with a "bang" and said, "General Zhou, save me, please save my life."
Zhou Xian frowned and said, "Get up and talk, what's going on?"
After hearing Sahana say it, Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and said, "It's because of this!"
Seeing that Zhou Xian was not taking it seriously, Sahana said anxiously: "General Zhou, you don't know. I really offended Haoge. This bastard will not give up if he doesn't kill me. Look, in just a few months, he has sent three batches of assassins to kill me. Last time, if I hadn't dodged quickly, I would definitely not have seen you now."
Zhou Xian looked up and said, "Didn't Huang Qianshi give you a small flag soldier, who is responsible for your safety?"
Sakhana replied: "The military gates, the guards did their best, but if this continues, there will inevitably be accidents. The villain feels that they will die sooner or later. The villain is not taking care of his life, but the villain has done so many things for the Ming Dynasty. If he is assassinated, it will not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "It seems that you have not only the name of Chinese, but also the mellowness of ordinary Han people. Tell me directly! How do you want me to save your life?"
Sahana was silent for a moment, kneeled on the ground with his knees, and kowtowed, "Please take me back to Denglai with the army."
Zhou Xian looked at Sakhana carefully and said slowly: "I have heard that among the four major benevolents set up by the captive chief Nurhaci, Manguertai is the most fierce in character and has made a lot of contributions to the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. However, after his death, Huang Taiji took his title, and all his descendants were demoted to Baoyi. You also changed from the high-ranking Manchu Beile to a slave that everyone can step on. If our army had not attacked here, you might have been like a grass for the rest of your life.
People trampled on. Have you never thought of relying on your own strength to find Huang Taiji, seeking revenge from Haoge, trampling them under your feet, and serving you as slaves? Have you never thought of returning to Liaodong, rescuing your brothers and sisters, and celebrating him in front of your Ama tomb? Now because of this little danger, you will escape to Denglai. Do you know that if the Qing Dynasty continues to grow, you will inevitably die if you escape anywhere."
Sahana looked ugly and argued: "General Zhou, the villain is just a prisoner. What you said is too big, how can the villain do it?"
Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "Since you did those things for the Ming Dynasty, you will no longer be a prisoner. How can a prisoner be protected by my banner and the twelve Ming soldiers? My Ming Dynasty is open to all rivers, and we will accept him if we are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Han, Manchu, or Korean, you can be a member of my Ming Dynasty. Instead of trembling and hiding everywhere for a lifetime, it is better to do your best to help the Ming Dynasty conquer the Qing Dynasty and step into Liaodong again as a conqueror. The reason why you are useful is that you are the eldest son of Manguertai and can divide the Qing army as your own identity. If you return to Denglai, who will know you? My Ming Dynasty wants useful people. Only by constantly proving your value can you win respect. If you blindly hide, there will be no difference between you in Denglai and you as a Baoyun slave in the Qing Dynasty."
Seeing Sakhana hesitating, Zhou Xian continued: "In fact, for the sake of so many things you have done, I can take you back to Denglai, but I hope you can stay here. But what you said makes sense. Soldiers with just a small flag cannot stand many assassinations. I think you join the army! There are so many co-walkers in the army, so how can you protect your safety. In addition, as long as you make military achievements, you can rise up little by little. The higher you rise, the safer you will be."
Huang Fei walked over from a distance, "Military gate, the horses are ready. I asked Zhang Huai and the others to wait in the government office and they can set off at any time."
Zhou Xian nodded and looked at Sahana and said, "You think about it carefully. When you have a decision, tell Huang Qianshi, he will arrange everything for you."
Huang Fei asked strangely: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Xian said: "It's just that Sakhana wants to join the army. You can arrange it for him at that time."
Sakhana opened his mouth in shock, and Zhou Xian didn't give him any other choice. Seeing Huang Fei look at him, he swallowed and spitted, "Please help Huang Junshi."
Huang Fei nodded and said, "You can ride a horse, so go to the Knight Camp! But now Jimu is out and will arrange specific things for you when he comes back."
Sahana looked aggrieved, but in the end he had to bow, "Thank you Huang Junshi."
Huang Fei nodded and said to Zhou Xian: "Military Sect, there is another thing, how to deal with that Gang Atai?"
Zhou Xian said in confusion: "What should I do?"
Huang Fei said: "Didn't he help us confirm the news? I thought..."
Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "I just said that after he answered, let him die more comfortably. There is nothing else. Kill him, but leave him a whole body. People like him who still care about the Qing Dynasty after being captured should have died long ago. I, the Ming Dynasty, do not need such people who even do not recognize his ancestors. And those captured Qing troops, who would have revealed their thoughts on the Qing Dynasty, would kill them directly."
