Lao Mukong.

The base area that Liu Tichun, the Duke of Ming and Anhui, had run for more than ten years, is now in ruins. Except for Xiazhai, the rest of the area has been set on fire by the rebels.

Those currently stationed in Laomukong are the soldiers and horses who followed the party Shousu and Ta Tianbao to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

The party headquarters has more than 1,400 people and is stationed in the Xiazhai area near Zhongzhai.

There are more than 1,100 people in the Tower Department, stationed outside Xiazhai.

In addition, there are more than a thousand family members of the second group.

The person in charge of the party department is the registered general soldier Guo An, who once served as a captain in the Laoshun Army and is a close confidant of Dang Shousu.

The person in charge of the Tower Department is the registered general Ma Wenzhong, who is the nephew of Ma Shouying, the leader of the rebel army alongside Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai during the Chongzhen period.

After Ma Shouying died of illness in Jingzhou in the 17th year of Chongzhen, Ma Wenzhong took over his flag and continued to fly the "Lao Hui Hui" flag, so he was also called "Xiao Lao Hui Hui".

After the defeat, he had to join forces with Ta Tianbao, and gradually became Ta Tianbao's subordinates.

However, neither Guo An nor Ma Wenzhong had any objection to surrendering to the Qing Dynasty after learning that the Yongli court was destroyed, and they actively promoted the matter.

After Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao made up their minds, they were ordered to kill seven generals including Zhou Guowang, Li Sanhu, and Chen Qiyuan, who refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty during the military meeting.

He also buried alive seven generals' sons, nephews, wives and daughters, and more than 100 personal soldiers.

This move made no one in the army dare to refuse to surrender.

After Dang and Ta went to Cizhulong, Guo and Ma were in charge of the soldiers who stayed here.

However, Guo An and Ma Wenzhong's words did not count. The real decision-maker was a young Manchu.

This person is Sengge, the "liaison officer" of Du Min's faction in Laomukong.

Seng Ge was only a seven-level pen-sticker. In the future, Kui Dongqian would mainly do Manchu-Chinese translation and copying of documents at the Deputy Dutong Yamen of Xi'an Xianglan Banner.

He is not old, he is only nineteen years old this year.

However, a civilian official was assigned by Du Min to Laomukong as the "Manchurian Ambassador". He not only contacted the Tian Heng and Wanhe Ministries, but was also responsible for controlling the surrender of the Party and Tajikistan Tribes.

It can be said that it is the existence of the supervisory army.

It looks incredible.

The reason is not complicated.

Sengge's father was Sangtu, a first-class Adahahafan (light vehicle captain).

And Sang Tu is Du Min's brother-in-law.

Therefore, Sengge is Du Min's nephew.

Can an uncle raise a close nephew?

In the Kuidong battlefield right now, is there any job that is safer than being a liaison officer, and is it easier to report merits to the superiors?

The young and proud Sengge relied on his uncle's cultivation and for the first time he felt how useful being a Manchu was.

Guo An and Ma Wenzhong, two old thieves, were very respectful in front of him, and even the Han Aha who came with Seng Ge were able to boss them around.

It's also pitiful that Guo and Ma used to be ruthless people who killed people without batting an eyelid, but now they were as weak as if they had cramps. If Seng Ge wanted them to go east, they would never dare to go west.

If the general is like this, you can imagine what kind of mood the soldiers below must be in.

Since the tonsure, there are more than 2,000 people in the party, and the old troops of Ta are basically in a hazy state, eating when they have food and sleeping when they can. Apart from maintaining their organizational structure, they no longer look like warriors who have been fighting for many years.

Even the ends of the braids that some soldiers braided turned white.

It's like I've aged ten years overnight.

The worst thing in the world is the collapse of faith and the loss of all meaning in life.

Just live.

In order to impress the young Manchu ambassador more deeply, Ma Wenzhong also sent his fifteen-year-old cousin to Sengge's tent.

The effect was good. At least when Sengge had something to do, he called Ma Wenzhong first and said he would take Ma Wenzhong's sister back to Xi'an.

This made Ma Wenzhong quite excited.

Regardless of whether they are bannermen or Han people, anyone who takes up important errands at a young age must have someone above them.

Can Ma Wenzhong see this?

He could control anything by clinging to him, and he did not dare to think that the little Manchu nobleman in front of him was worth his investment.

Behind the banker, Tian Heng, Wan and Liu Tichun, who were stubbornly resisting, fought hard to win.

Yesterday, Tian Heng sent someone back to tell Sengge that Liu Tichun could no longer hold on any longer and that they would be able to capture Beili Village in two days at most.

Seng Ge must be happy to hear that he won this battle, and he must be one of the meritorious people reported by his uncle, and he is still in front.

Say less and you will have a better future.

Even if military merit is not considered, he will definitely be promoted to an important position within the flag.

Because he had been stuck with Ma Wenzhong's sister for half the night, Sengge didn't get up in the morning. It wasn't until Ma Wenzhong called him from outside, saying that someone from Cizhulong had returned, that he lazily got up.

The one who came back was Ma Changyuan, the chief military officer under Ta Tianbao, who rushed back from Cizhulong before dawn with dozens of people.

Seeing Ma Changyuan's panicked look, Ma Wenzhong couldn't help but ask what happened.

I couldn't help but feel strange when I saw that neither Dang Guo Gong nor Ta Houye came back.

Ma Changyuan didn't say anything, but asked Ma Wenzhong: "Where is the monk?"

As he spoke, he looked around seemingly casually.

"Is there a military order? Master Monk is here, you come with me."

Ma Wenzhong was afraid of delaying the matter, so he motioned to Ma Changyuan to follow him to see Seng Ge.

"Okay! You two come with me, the others stay."

Ma Changyuan asked the soldiers who came back with him to stay here, and only took two of his subordinates with him to Sengge's place.

These two subordinates Ma Wenzhong looked a little unfamiliar, but they didn't think much about it.

There are thousands of people in the army, how can he recognize them all?

Inside the house, Sengge had already dressed and was sitting in front of the stove to warm his hands.

Ma Wenzhong's sister is still on the bed in the back room.

"grown ups!"

When he walked to the door, Ma Wenzhong shouted respectfully.

Sengge said casually: "Come in."

After the door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in. Sengge couldn't help but shrink his neck, looked up at Ma Changyuan who came in with Ma Wenzhong, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Dutong has an order!"

Ma Changyuan bowed and said that it had been detected that the puppet king of the Ming Dynasty was hiding in the Huangcaoping area in the southeast, so the commander-in-chief ordered Lao Mukong's soldiers and horses commanded by Seng Ge to immediately go to Huangcaoping to capture the puppet king of the Ming Dynasty.

"The false king?"

Sengge regained his energy and was about to ask questions clearly when Ma Changyuan suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Ma Wenzhong hard on the neck, and covered his mouth with one hand.

"you!"

Sengge was shocked and was about to call for help when the two officers behind Ma Changyuan pounced on him at the same time. One held his hands while the other strangled his neck with his arms.

It was so hard that Sengge's eyes turned white, his tongue stretched out, and his whole body was wet with saliva like a hanged ghost. Only then did Wang Wu let go.

Sengge's body suddenly fell to the ground.

The mute Zhu San checked the kid's breathing and made sure he was dead before kicking him.

There seemed to be movement in the back room. Before Wang Wu could say anything, Mute rushed in, followed by a woman's scream.

After the mute came out, Wang Wu glanced at him: "Did you kill that woman?"

"Aba Aba..."

The mute shook his head and gestured that he had knocked the woman unconscious with the handle of the knife.

Here, Ma Changyuan placed the lifeless Ma Wenzhong on the ground, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and there was a sound of fighting during the period.

It was Xu Lin and the others who were dealing with the Han Chinese Aha who came with Seng Ge.

The action was clean and tidy, and the unsuspecting Han Aha, including two of Ma Changyuan's soldiers, were either killed or subdued.

After pulling the dagger out of Ma Wenzhong's neck, Ma Changyuan raised his head and looked at Wang Wu: "General, what should we do now?"
