Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"It's time to enter the customs again. Our Xianglan Banner will draw ten flags for each Niu Lu, and Master Ezhen gave me one of the spots." Helich replied in a loud voice, "Little girl! Hurry up Find out the armor and weapons you have collected, and clean them tonight. Then go to my uncle’s house to ask for some water and wine, and have a good drink in the evening.”

Fujia's face suddenly collapsed, full of worry.The only son of her family died in the pass ten years ago during the Jisi Incident, and he didn't even bring his body back.

Fortunately, my son died to save Master Ezhen, so when Master Ezhen came back, he sent the white pig to his family to be a slave, and he has been taking care of his family all these years to make his life passable.But now that her husband is going to fight again, why doesn't Fujia worry about it?

But Helich is the head of the family, and the Eight Banners are all soldiers.Although Helich is old enough not to go to the battlefield, Fujia still abides by Niu Luerzhen's upper and lower system and the rules of superiority and inferiority between men and women with Helich, so she did not say anything, and hurriedly Go to my brother's house and ask for some wine and meat.

……

After Fujia went out, she came back with not only wine and meat, but also Helich's brother-in-law and several banner men with blue flags in the village.All the guests came, so Mrs. Fujia personally cooked and made a table of dishes for everyone to drink to their heart's content.

After a hearty meal, the guests had all dispersed, leaving only leftovers on the table.Fujia was about to tidy up when she entered the house, when Helich waved to her, and said with a big tongue: "Little girl! I'm happy today, so don't do anything, let the white pig clean up. You have a drink with me."

"Are you still drinking?" Fujia sat down in front of Helich, and seeing that she was finally alone, Fujia boldly spoke out what was in her heart. "Master! There are always risks in war, and you are getting old. Let's talk to Mr. Ezhen and find someone else!"

"What do you know?" When he was drunk, Helich's movements were a little big, and a lot of wine was swirled out of the wine glass he was holding.

When he saw the wine pouring down, Helich felt very distressed. He hastily swallowed the rest of the wine in the glass, then shook his blushing face, and said to Fujia, "Do you know that the person who entered the customs this time? How tight is the number of banners? It’s going to break your head outside. That’s why Mr. Erzhen thinks of our family all the time. Besides, I, Helich, also hunted black bears when I was young, and beat Han dogs with Laohan No change? I can't afford to lose this person."

"But in case you have anything wrong, there are only two women in the family, Xiaoya and me." Fujia said anxiously, so she moved their granddaughter Xiaoya out.

"Do you think the current Han dogs can still fight? They have been broken by our Jurchen. The last time the two white flags entered the customs, there were not many deaths. But with so many coats and livestock brought back, which other flags can't fight?" Are you jealous? The Han Dog is too rich. It’s just to pick up money. And look at our inlaid blue flag. We have been living a hard life in the Eight Banners. With such an opportunity, who wouldn’t want to go?” Hurley Equator.

The earliest banner owner of the Xianglan Banner was Nurhachi's younger brother Nurhaqi. Later, Nurhachi was imprisoned by Nurhachi and died, and the banner owner was succeeded by his eldest son Amin.After that, Amin was imprisoned to death by Huang Taiji, and the banner owner was held by Amin's younger brother, Prince Zheng Jierhalang.

So in the Eight Banners.The bordered blue flag is like a stepmother.In addition, after Prince Zheng Jierhalang succeeded, he obeyed Huang Taiji's words and never asked for anything for the Xianglan Banner, so the Xianglan Banner had the most dirty work.But the benefits are the least. Therefore, the bannermen of the inlaid blue flag have long been jealous of other flags.With this opportunity to enter the customs, how could they not be enthusiastic?

"But..." Fujia looked at Helich eagerly, and didn't know what else to say to persuade him.

Helich grabbed Fujia's hand, and said softly: "Actually, Master Erzhen has one more thing to ask me for. When we come back this time, Master Erzhen's fourth son will be engaged to Xiaoya. Master Erzhen is important Friendship, I have seen the four sons of his family, he is a heroic and good boy. But our Jurchen attaches great importance to the mother and wife families, and our family can't embarrass Mr. Erzhen, and we must save face for our grandson-in-law. This time I'm going to the customs just to earn more dowry for the little girl."

"Also, if I want to find you another female slave, you are too old to work hard. The white pig is a boy, and there are always some women who can't do their jobs smoothly. It will be much better to have a female slave."

After hearing Helich's caring words, Fujia was also tender, and she whispered, "Master, be careful."

"Hahaha—!" Helich burst out laughing, "Little girl! You are still that silly little girl! Do you think I will go alone? I just talked to my brother-in-law and the others, Each of their families is born, and I have four children to accompany me, with them, we can take care of each other."

"But didn't Mr. Erzhen only promise you one place?" Fujia asked strangely.

"Claim it to the outside world as my coat. Anyway, if there are more people going, Master Erzhen will open his eyes. Doesn't he want more people to go? The more people take the more things!" Helich laughed.

"But what if there is another ding in Niulu?"

"You can rest assured. The family I promised will have at least three people. Even if each household draws two, there is no problem. I have thought of this a long time ago."

"Oh! And! This time I'm going to bring the white pig. Wait! White pig! White pig!" Helich shouted.

There was a sound of running outside the house, and the white pig rushed into the inner room, nodded and bowed his head and said, "Master! What's the matter with calling you a slave?"

"Have you cleaned those armors and weapons?" Helich straightened up as soon as he saw the white pig, looking like a gentleman.

"It's all polished very brightly! Master!"

"That's good! Don't forget to feed the horse night food at night. Feed more concentrate to make it fatter. But don't steal it?"

"Yes! Lord!"

"Also, prepare yourself this time and enter the customs with me. Take good care of me, and I will find you a Han dog woman, so that you will have a cub in the future." Seeing the white pig in a daze, Helich immediately became angry. He raised his voice and shouted, "Did you hear that?"

"Yes! Lord!"

"Then you go down first!"

When the white pig left, Fujia couldn't help but said: "This Han dog is not familiar with it, why did the master show kindness and let him enter the customs. What should I do if he runs away?"

Because of the death of their only son, both Helich and Fujia hated the Han people, so they named the coating a "white pig."

"Where can he go? He is dressed like a Jurchen. Could it be that he is sent to the Han dog to be killed? One more person is like having an extra donkey. At that time, he can carry more things on his back. Besides, How can just one coat be enough? I also hope that he will have a few more little slaves to serve our family forever." Helich laughed.

"Then master should be more careful. There is a pair of armor at home. Hey!" Thinking of the only son who stayed in the pass, Fujia couldn't help but sighed.

Helich was also silent for a while, then she forced a smile, comforted Fujia and said, "Don't worry! Mrs. Erzhen promised to lend me a pair of armor. Besides, little girl, you took a fancy to me back then, it was because I rode and shot Is it top-notch? Even now, who in the village is better at archery than me? I taught those kids horseback riding and archery."

"That's true!"

On the third day, when Helich led five people to gather at Niulu Erzhen's place, he was surprised to find that the other bannermen who had been transferred were more or less wearing real or fake coats.So everyone laughed tacitly while waiting.

It wasn't until Niu Luerzhen took a dozen or so wrapped clothes out of the mansion that they stopped making noise.That Niu Lu looked around the people who were about to set off with a smile that was not a smile, and didn't say much, just drove the horse and said: "Let's go!"

Of the ten bannermen drawn by Niulu, Helich, there were actually more than fifty people who set off in the end.

Because the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties regarded the Southern Expedition as a feast, in the end, even Huang Taiji couldn't suppress the anger of the people in the Eight Banners.For this reason, Huang Taiji could only dispatch troops and generals to increase the strength of the Southern Expedition.

At the end of August, Huang Taiji issued an edict: Dorgon will be appointed as the general, and Yue Tuo will be the general of Yangwu.With Dorgon in charge of the left-wing soldiers, Hauge and Abatai as deputy; Yue Tuo in charge of the right-wing soldiers, with Du Du as deputy, they were divided into two groups.

For this Southern Expedition, more than 4000 bannermen from the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were gathered in Shengjing, and more than 3000 bannermen and genuine and fake coats could actually arrive.In addition to the 5000 men from the Eight Banners of Meng, King Sanshun and Duke Xu Shun, as well as 500 men from the Han Army Banner, more than 2000 gunners were drawn from North Korea, making a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses.

After that, the army went all the way to the west, and first came to the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. Dorgon and his father-in-law, who is also the father of the famous Dayuer-Zaisang Buhe, and the major Zasaks of various Mongolian tribes held a A grand banquet.

Then Dorgon's father-in-law began to work hard.In fact, he does not need to work hard. When he heard the news that the Qing army was marching south again, Horqin, Chahar, Duoyan and other Mongolian tribes rushed to dispatch troops. Even some Mongolian herdsmen carried broken knives and wooden guns. After joining this army, more than 1000 Mongolian soldiers and herdsmen were gathered in this way.

However, Huang Taiji personally led the army, cruising between Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, feigning an attack, putting pressure on the Ming army on the Ningjin defense line, and restraining them from entering the customs to return aid.

On September 22, Yue Tuo led more than 7000 troops from the right wing to destroy the wall at Qiangziling Pass in the northeast of Miyun; The Great Wall is fortified.

The second entrance battle broke out. (To be continued..)
