Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 267
In addition, He Tengjiao agreed to send troops, and Wang Yan then discussed with him to attack Wuchang, and agreed to take Wuchang City as the governor of Chu, allowing him to install officials and manage surrounding counties, while He Tengjiao would no longer interfere with Hunan affairs.

The two sides reached a condition, and the relationship eased a bit.

The next day, Wang Yan's army arrived at Yuezhou. More than 2 people from He Tengjiao's descendants, including Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi, and Cao Zhijian, stayed in Yuezhou. , plus more than [-] civilian husbands, went to Wuchang mightily.

He Tengjiao was worried that Wang Yan would annex his troops through the Battle of Wuchang, and worried that Wang Yan would not fulfill his previous promise after taking Wuchang, so he left Fu Shangrui to sit in Yuezhou and went east with the army.

On the Yangtze River, there are hundreds of boats and ships, and the army spreads on the shore. Two large flags are written, one is written to the king of Chu State, the general town of Guangdong Province, and the other is written to Ding Xing Hou He, the governor of Huguang.

The gentry and common people along the way didn't know the complicated relationship between Wang Yan and He Tengjiao. They looked at the endless army and thought that the two governors were marching eastward, and they all wept with joy.

Since the hair-shaving order, many scholars who do not want to shave their hair and escape into the mountains have also rushed out of the barren mountains, crying and saying: "Looking south for a year, the king's master is finally here~"

For a time, the Ming army totaled 13, claiming to be 30 people, covering the east of the river, and the momentum was overwhelming. The prefectures and counties they passed descended upon hearing the wind, and drove directly to the city of Wuchang.

When Wang Yan and He Tengjiao were going eastward, between the rolling mountains to the north of Fancheng, dozens of bald and pigtailed cavalry with heavy rings and dangling ears appeared at the mountain pass, looking southward.

They are one man and two horses, equipped with spears, knives, bows and arrows, and they are full of hostility, and they are definitely not kind at first glance.

At this time, one of the cavalry snarled a bird's language to the villain who seemed to be the leader. The villain waved his hand, and dozens of captive cavalry rushed down from the mountain pass and rushed towards the mountain pass quickly. small village outside.

When the cavalry rushed down, a fat middle-aged man in a mandarin jacket and a hat rode forward and came to the side of the villain. He saluted with a flattering smile and said, "My lord, come out of this mountain pass and fifty miles to the south is Fancheng." gone."

Hearing the words, the villain squinted his eyes and nodded, "Niu Jinxing, you are very good. This road is much easier and closer than the one taken by the Prince of England last year. You have made a lot of contributions this time, so you don't have to follow in the future." Your son, come to our army to be a clerical staff officer~"

That middle-aged fat man was Niu Jinxing, the former prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty. After he left the Dashun Army without authorization and surrendered to the Qing court, because his reputation was too bad, the Qing court did not assign him an official position, but gave his son Niu Quan, A prefect of Huangzhou.

After Wang Yan entered Chu, the situation was stirred up, and history changed. Niu Quan, who was supposed to be in Huangzhou, was promoted to Huguang grain storage road, and went to northern Hubei to collect grain. As a result, when Gao made a successful sweep of Xiangfan, Niu Quan took Niu Jinxing and fled to Newfield.

After British Prince Azig and Wu Sangui entered Xinye through Dengzhou from Shaanxi, Niu Jinxing felt that his chance had come, so he immediately went to the camp to ask for an interview.

Azige is about to send the commander of the guard, Obai, to the south to check the movements of the Ming army, and the Dashun army has been operating Xiangyang for a long time, so he just sent Niu Jinxing to go with him.

At this moment, Niu Jinxing, after hearing what Oboi said, he was overjoyed and said, "This servant thanked the master for his promotion."

Hearing this, Aobai couldn't help laughing, the former Prime Minister of Dashun, calling him his master was really a joyful thing.

Since Huang Taiji's sudden death, it was rare for Oboi to be in such a good mood.

During the Qing Dynasty, the regent Dorgon was in power, and Aobai was a member of the Two Yellow Banners, but he was a confidant of Huang Taiji. After Huang Taiji died, he was a member of Prince Su Hauge, so he was naturally suppressed by Dorgon in the court.

In the first year of Shunzhi, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Obai followed Prince Azig of England to conquer Li Zicheng who was retreating in Shaanxi. If you are implicated, you will be fined a hundred taels of silver.

This time he was going to follow Prince Su Hauge into Sichuan to attack Zhang Xianzhong, but Dorgon was worried that Hauge was too powerful, so he was transferred to Azig's tent again to obey orders.

Oboi was very unhappy about this, but fortunately, although the Prince of England was Dorgon's elder brother, he was not close to Dorgon and Dodo in terms of relationship, and he had fought with Azig before, so It's not unacceptable in my heart.

At this time, when Oboi and Niu Jinxing were stationed at the mountain pass, dozens of captive riders had rushed into the village, and the village screamed again and again.

In the center of the village, a group of villagers were enjoying the shade under a big tree, but they didn't expect such a change. They were scared out of their wits by the sudden cavalry.

After the captive rode into the village, he chopped down everyone he saw, and the people scattered in a hurry. When a boy saw his grandfather, his head was chopped off by the Qing soldiers, and the blood splashed on his face, he was so scared that he burst into tears, but he only cried a few times. With a sound, a Qing army rushed in front of him, manipulated the horse ferociously, stepped on it directly, and the boy turned into a pile of meat in a moment.

All of a sudden, the village was full of cries and screams. The peaceful village in the past became a purgatory on earth in a blink of an eye.

In this village, there were no more than a dozen households, more than a hundred people, and most of them were killed by captives in a short time. A group of panicked people either hid in their houses, or ran out of the village crying in terror. , but they were quickly chased by the cavalry, and most of them were killed. Only five younger men ran out.

At the mountain pass, Oboi looked at the fleeing Ming people, with a trace of cruelty leaking from the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and galloped the horse to kill them.

The five people ran forward in fear, but how could they run over Oboi's war horse, Niu Jinxing saw him galloping while bending his bow, shooting four arrows in a row, shooting down four people in an instant.

Seeing this, the remaining man was terrified and ran forward like crazy, but before he could take a few steps, his whole body suddenly fell forward, and a feathered arrow had pierced his chest from behind. chest.

Aobai killed five people in an instant like shooting prey. He retracted his bow and arrow, gave a slight signal to Niu Jinxing and others who still had the mountain pass, and rode his horse and walked towards the village.

Looking at the scene just now, Niu Jinxing couldn't help shivering. After being slightly stunned, he rushed to the village with the remaining captives.

The village is not very big, surrounded by dozens of earthen huts, and in the center is an empty grain drying field. When Niu Jinxing came to the center of the village, some corpses were lying here and there, including old people and children.

In the house, there was a sound of begging for mercy from women and girls. One Tartar raised his trousers and walked out of the house, while the other hurried in with a lewd smile.
