Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 452 Banner Man and Han Chinese

"Feng Da! You and the second boy of the Cheng family go to the east room, carry two bags of wheat and grind them into flour, then mix them with sorghum noodles and steam them into pancakes. Tomorrow, I will take your father on an expedition to snatch Mingren's good things." , hurry up and steam the pancakes, take a few home with you at night, and say that the father rewarded your father! Isn’t it full to go out?!”

"Got it, master! I'm going with Cheng Er!"

Feng Da, who was feeding the horses in the stable in the corner of the yard, responded loudly.

The person shouting in the main room was Bao Lengze, a banner man with a yellow flag. A few days ago, he received a call-up order issued by his master Huang Taiji, requiring bannermen on the island who are 14 years old and under 50 years old to bring their own weapons and armor. Food supplies must be gathered in Shengjing on April [-], and then set off south to plunder the Ming people.

Bao Leng will be 49 years old, just within the scope of the call-up order. He has been retired for several years due to battle injuries and will return to the army this time.

"My lord, it's not that you don't know that your legs are so sick, Commander Takiri, how can you go into battle with a limp? Why don't you tell the commander, maybe this time you don't have to go to battle again!"

Bao Lengze's wife persuaded her husband while arranging the plates on the armor.

"Don't talk nonsense! Who said that you can't fight if you are lame? I can't ride a horse and charge? How can I earn my current fortune if I don't fight? There is no coward who is afraid of fighting in the three flags! Fighting those smart people It’s like shooting rabbits in winter, this time when I’m going south, I must bring you some gold ornaments, so let’s call it a good student from the Norbu family! You just need to stay at home and take care of our eldest grandson!”

Bao Leng, who was sitting on the kang, wiped the sharp long knife with a cotton cloth, and said in a nonchalant tone.

He was one of the first group of old people who followed Nurhachi to fight the world. In the second year of Chongzhen, Jisi changed into Guan and fought with the Ming army. He fell off his horse and retired from the army after he injured a leg. , and was later placed on Phi Island to guard the island.

Bao Leng had three sons and a daughter. The eldest and the second were both in the army defending Huang Taiji in Shengjing.

The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to three grandchildren in succession. Because the distance from Shengjing was too far away, it was inconvenient for the two families to travel. The eldest son sent his nine-year-old second grandson to Phi Island last year because he was afraid that his parents would be old and lonely. This made Bao Lengze and his wife extremely happy.

Under the name of Bao Leng, there are two households of coated servants, Feng and Cheng, with more than [-] mu of land. There are more than [-] goats, a farming ox, two war horses, and a rough horse in the family, as well as hundreds of mu of mountains and forests. Uehara used the savings he plundered when he participated in the war, and lived a really happy life.

Maybe it's because of his age, but Bao Lengze's original fierceness has gradually subsided a lot, and he doesn't treat the two Baoyis very harshly. This made most of the two families feel grateful to their masters.

"My lord, that's not what I said. I heard from the Norbu family that our Eight Banners suffered a great loss in the south this time, and I heard that there were many casualties! The master was in a hurry, so he recruited everywhere. Lord, this time you are going to the battle, you have to live better, don't rush forward! Our precious grandson is still waiting for you to come back safely!"

"Don't listen to those rumors outside, our Eight Banners are invincible in the world! Even if there is a loss, it must be caused by underestimating the enemy! Okay, after I leave, you should take care of your home and stop going out to gossip with those women! Hesheli Did you take Khenpo to Norbu's house again?"

Hesheli is his youngest son, and Khenpo is his grandson.

After finishing speaking, Bao Leng put down the cotton cloth, scraped the scraper blade with his calloused fingers, and put the knife back into the sheath in satisfaction.

There was a faint sound of barking dogs from the west of the village, and then the sound stopped suddenly, as if someone was screaming in panic, Bao Leng immediately became alert.

He lifted his legs and got off the kang. After putting on his boots, he picked up a long knife and hung it on his waist. Then he took off the long bow from a wall, tied the quiver full of feathered arrows around his waist, and raised his legs to the door. go.

Could it be that the ferocious beasts in the village can't do it?

A while back, there was a man who was cutting firewood in the mountain, and Xiong Xiazi slapped half of his head with a slap.
Except for Bao Leng, who was in the main room, crossed the courtyard with a bow and arrow in his hand, and strode towards the closed courtyard door. There was a clear scream coming from across the courtyard wall. He heard the sound was near his house, and then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps. stand up.

Bao Leng, who was approaching the gate, judged based on the intuition he had trained in the battle for many years, that this time it was not wild animals entering the village, but strangers intruding into the island, and the visitors were not good!
Who has the guts to do this?

Mingren?

impossible!
The Ming people were fighting against the Eight Banners in the Songjin area, so it was impossible to send people to the island.

Besides, this is not a fortress, it's just an island. The Ming court didn't send an army to defend it back then, and there's no need to seize the island now.In those days, Mao Wenlong pulled tiger skins to make a big banner, recruited a large group of Han people to pretend to be the army, harassed and destroyed it everywhere, and did no actual harm to the Eight Banners.

Korean?
right!definitely is!

It must be that those North Korean scumbags heard the news that the Qing and Ming suffered a loss in the war, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity!

I thought back then that I followed my master to fight against the Ming people in Sarhu, and North Korea also sent troops to help the Ming people in the battle. I and a dozen armored men killed thousands of North Korean soldiers and fled all over the mountains and plains for their lives!

The sound of footsteps was approaching the gate of his own courtyard, and Bao Leng stepped back quickly, widening the distance of shooting arrows, and then pointed his bow and arrow at the gate of the courtyard.

With a sound of "Bang Dang", the courtyard door was kicked open from the outside, Bao Leng shot an arrow, and with a muffled bang, the long arrow fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, it was the shield player who came first!Still Iron Shield!

The woman in the room stood at the door and screamed.

"Go back to the house and hide!"

After Bao Leng shouted loudly, he threw his longbow towards the opposite side, then drew the knife in his hand with a clang, and raised his legs to move forward quickly.

The shield player who was seven or eight steps away suddenly stepped aside, and the two black muzzles of the door aimed at Bao Lengze who was rushing.

Fireball!

Red armor!

It's Ming!
Amidst the bang, a large cloud of white gunpowder smoke enveloped the blunderbuss at the door. At such a close distance, a blunderbuss flew to nowhere.

But another blunderbuss hit Bao Lengze's chest and abdomen, and a stream of blood gushed out from his body. The impact force of the blunderbuss pushed back the screaming Bao Lengze, and hit him straight. on the ground. .

The saber and shield held a shield in one hand and a saber in the other, he rushed forward and slashed with the saber, Bao Leng's head and body were instantly split into two parts.

Seeing her husband's death in an instant, the woman howled dryly, and rushed over from the room with her teeth and claws in the air. The knife and shield hand frowned slightly, raised her shield, stepped forward and slammed, smashing Bao Lengze's woman Fell to the ground and passed out.

Feng Da and Cheng Er, who were carrying grain in the east chamber, rushed to the door after hearing the movement outside, and were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Master Jun, don't do anything! That's my kid! Dalang, second son! Come here quickly!"

It was Feng An who brought the Ming army to Baolenze's house.

Although Bao Leng didn't treat his family too badly, in Feng An's eyes, Jiannu deserved to die.

"Enter the house and search!"

Following Shi Chang's order, the two gunners withdrew from the yard, the two archers held their bows for vigilance, and the shieldman and spearman began to search the house.

"How long! The team is ordering you to bring the archers there! There are Jian slaves in the front yard, and it is very difficult to fight!"

A few gunshots were heard not far away, and a messenger hurried into the yard to report to the leader of the team.
