Jinzhou, the garrison of the Inlaid Blue Banner, was equipped with one member of Manchu and Hanzhangjing, 260 armored soldiers, 10 Arrow craftsmen and blacksmiths, and more than 6,000 Han slaves in the military farm.

At the time of Taizu Nurhaci, the Eight Banners were set to guard the border, and the garrisons of the Enanglan Banner were Jin, Gai and other states in southern Liaoning.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the war between Mongolia and the Mongolians expanded, and the original border garrison was greatly changed. After the Songjin War in the seventh year of Chongde, Jinzhou, a major military city of the Ming Dynasty, was assigned to the jurisdiction of the Lan Banner of Jiergalang by Emperor Taizong. Before entering the pass, Jinzhou once had more than 20,000 troops stationed, which was used to plunder China's frontier base in the pass for the Qing Dynasty.

However, after entering the pass, because the Regent Dorgon decided to use a few Ling clans to establish a foundation for the Qing Dynasty, and in order to establish a new foundation for Aixin Jueluo in the Qing Dynasty, he moved the court from Shengjing to the pass. The family members of the Eight Banners and a large number of Han slaves entered the pass. Only Shengjing general manager was established outside the pass. First, Abai was in charge, and later because of the thief chaos, He Luohui was changed.

There were nearly 10,000 left-behind Eight Banners soldiers outside the pass, but later, due to the tight civil war, half of them were drawn into the pass, resulting in only 260 armored soldiers in Jinzhou now.

However, compared with the few dozen left-behind soldiers in Ningyuan, Phoenix City, Niuzhuang, Yizhou, Xincheng, Jin, Gai and other states, there are already many troops stationed in Jinzhou.

The blue flag is the five flags under the lower.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, three flags were established and five flags were lowered.

The so-called Shangsan Banner originally refers to the three flags of Zhenghuang, Huangying and Zhenglan. The reason is that the two yellow flags were personally led by Taizong, and the Zhenglan Banner is owned by Taizong's eldest son Haoge.

That is, the three flags directly under the imperial system.

After Dorgon became the regent, he placed the Zhenglan Banner into the Lower Five Banners in order to weaken Haoge's power and attack Haoge, and transferred the Zhengbai Banner, which was originally under the Lower Five Banners, into the Shangsan Banner, so the current Shangsan Banner is the two yellow Banners and the Zhengbai Banner.

The Eight Banners of Han, the Eight Banners of Mongolia are exactly the same as those of Manchu Eight Banners, and they are divided into three banners and five banners. In terms of power, those who are included in the upper three banners are more beautiful than those of the lower five banners. Even in the eyes of the Manchu powerful people of the upper three banners, those who are lower five banners are slaves.

This has led to many internal conflicts within the Eight Banners, especially the Zhenglan Banner, which originally appeared on the Three Banners. The banner owners and the Beile also had intrigues. The reason is that everyone is descendants of Aisin Gioro, so why is there a distinction between high and low?

Originally, due to the smooth progress of the civil war in the pass, a large amount of wealth, land and population interests suppressed the internal conflicts of the Eight Banners. Now, as the war is not going well, these contradictions have surfaced bit by bit.

The two meetings of princes and ministers in Beijing are the manifestation of this contradiction.

The Manchu Zhangjing Dali, who was stationed in Jinzhou, was a warrior who followed Emperor Taizu to fight all directions. He made great achievements. Emperor Taizu personally gave the title of Batulu, which was called "Dali Batulu" in the army.

Unfortunately, during the Taizong period, Amin, one of the four major benevolents, was involved in the rebellion of Amin, and Dali's future was ruined. If Emperor Taizong had not thought of his contribution to the war, he would have been killed long ago.

Originally, the Zhenghuang Banner was also changed to the Inlaid Blue Banner. After the army entered the pass, the generals with more qualifications were more experienced in the pass, and only Batulu stayed in Jinzhou.

Maybe because of his age, Dali is not as wronged as young people. He says that others are enjoying their fortunes, but they are suffering outside the customs, and there are unfair things on the other side. All the big and small matters are all cooking, and it looks like they have been in Jinzhou for the rest of their lives.

However, what I never thought was that the storm outside the pass suddenly changed.

Last year, the Huai bandits who crossed the sea from Shandong were very popular. Within two or three months, they swept away all areas in southern Liaoning, and the troops were directed directly to Liaoyang, Shengjing and Guangning. There were also a large number of Huai bandits who were killed and burned houses, which made the outside of the pass a mess.

Shengjing went to the pass and reported urgently that at the beginning of the year, the Regent urgently dispatched 5,000 troops to leave the pass. First, he defeated the bandits in Liaoyang and beheaded more than a thousand, and then he defeated the besieged bandits outside Shengjing and beheaded as many as two thousand.

But the thieves retreated but did not disperse, and instead attacked Heituara, Kuandian, Yizhou and other places in the north. It may have learned the lesson of losing the field battle. The thief leaders made dozens or even hundreds of troops, the most were five or six hundred, and the few were seven or eighty, all of them were equipped with horses and mules, and they were scattered in various parts of Liaodong like needles.

Shengjing general manager He Luo would be willing to gather troops to encircle and suppress the city, but the suppression could not be suppressed. Especially a large number of outsiders were bewitched and incited by the thieves and occupied various places to resist. The encirclement and suppression troops were transferred too much, and they were afraid that the thieves would attack the city. If they went less, they would be useless and were really worried.

I heard that the thief leader crossed the Yalu River to break through the city of Yizhou in North Korea, causing the flood road between North Korea and Liaodong to be cut off, and the two countries did not know each other's situation.

Some bandits were chased by the Eight Banners soldiers and ran to the seaside to flee to the Dongjiang River. After the pursuit of the Eight Banners soldiers was forced to retreat to Shengjing because they had no food to eat, the bandits came again across the sea and repeatedly harassed them, making it difficult for people to defend themselves!

Based on the common propaganda of all parties, Dali felt that the behavior of the bandits was very similar to that of their harassment of the Ming Dynasty.

The thieves have low combat power, mostly bandits and refugees, but it is not difficult to fight. If they are bad, they are too big outside the pass. Thousands of Eight Banners soldiers scattered out like a drop of water in the vast ocean. How to suppress them and how to pacify them?

Now, in addition to ensuring important towns such as Shengjing, Liaoyang, and Guangning, there is no way out unless there are more troops in the pass.

What does the imperial court in the pass think, what will He Luo, the general manager of Shengjing, think? Dali can't control it. What he can do now is to ensure that there is no problem in Jinzhou. Otherwise, if Jinzhou is captured by bandits, the contact between Shengjing and the pass will be cut off, which is a fatal matter.

But what Dali never expected was that he focused his attention on the direction of Guangning, and the Ningyuan side behind him asked a bandit from Shanhaiguan to occupy it. After two hundred bandits who captured Ningyuan left behind, the rest of the troops immediately rushed to Jinzhou.

Jinzhou was not lost at first, because the bandits who lacked siege equipment did not immediately attack the city, but rushed to various flag shops outside the city, inciting the young and strong Han slaves to cut down wood and siege to attack the city.

The siege began in the afternoon.

How can Dali guard the only 260 armored soldiers?

Jinzhou is not Jinzhou, which was stationed by the Ming army back then. It has two cities inside and outside, but only one inner city is left. Even if the outer city is still there, Dali cannot defend it.

His soldiers were only a few dozen people in each direction!

And there are more than a thousand bandits on either side!

After less than an hour of perseverance, the south gate of Jinzhou inner city was attacked by bandits wearing double armor, holding swords in one hand and shields in the other.

After killing four bandit soldiers in a row, Dalibatulu was beaten backwards because she was too old and weak. She was then surrounded with more than 70 armored soldiers and Han Zhangjing Geng Yunsheng.

This bandit soldier was naturally the Li Yanzong troops of the Shun Army who came from the east of Shanhaiguan.

After annihilated more than 100 pursuers in Guangning Manchu in Caozhuang Post, Li Yanzong led his troops to capture Ningyuan City, which had only dozens of armored soldiers, and asked Guangning to resist the leader of the Yimin people, Wu Guoping, to resettle women and children, and to recruit Hanmins in Baotun Banner Village around Ningyuan to properly manage the place, Li Yanzong led his troops to Jinzhou without stopping.

Because, compared with the Shun Army, which had 3,000 troops, it was also an empty city.

The capture of Jinzhou made the young general who was disappointed in the city of Zunhua very excited. He once heard his uncle talk about the story of Jinzhou, a former Ming important town.

Hearing that dozens of Manchu soldiers had surrounded, Li Yanzong suddenly made an attempt to persuade these Manchu soldiers to surrender because he attacked his uncle Lu Wenzong since he started his army in Huai'an, but there was no Manchu soldiers in his army.

My uncle once said that no matter whether it is Manchu, Meng, or Han army, as long as they are willing to surrender to the Huai army, they will all be brothers, which is called unity.

It also said that the Huai Army only resisted the reactionary separatist group headed by Aisin Gioro. Therefore, as long as the vast number of Manchu and Mongolian officers and soldiers were willing to resist this reactionary group with the Huai Army, they were considered Chinese people and would never be discriminated against.

In view of this, Li Yanzong, who had probably mastered hundreds of Chinese characters, decided to persuade his subordinates to surrender, so that his subordinates could have an additional Manchu army.

This incident made him show off in front of his uncle and other generals for a long time

Dalibatulu was almost sixty years old. After a bloody battle just now, he was not strong enough and could not hold on and fainted.

"Sir, wake up, wake up"

Geng Yunsheng, Han Zhangjing of Jinzhou, kept calling out to Man Zhangjing softly, and the Manchu soldiers fell in pools of blood, which made this Han scholar who had participated in the Qing Dynasty's juren's examination want to cry without tears and have no courage to face it.

Cao Yuan was from Liaodong, and he must have hated Manchus to the core, because the Manchus massacred more than three million Liaodong Han people back then, and those who could run into the pass were basically the same as the whole family.

But just as Cao Yuan was about to order the killing of these Manchu soldiers, a military order from my master came to persuade him to surrender.

Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but did not violate the order, because if Manchu soldiers surrendered, the morale strike on the Qing army would be fatal.

He understands that the overall situation is the most important.

While waiting for the young master to come, the Shun Army soldiers surrounding these Manchu soldiers looked at these guys like monkeys, their eyes full of ridicule and sarcasm.

This kind of look is very familiar to the Manchu soldiers because they looked the same as the Ming army and Han people they looked at back then.

Before Dali and Zhang Jing woke up, Geng Yunsheng was helpless. He knew that they could not escape from birth, so he simply put Dali on the ground and sat down with him.

The surrounded Manchu soldiers were also scared. Looking at the dark heads of the Shun Army, they felt chill from their pores.

Han Zhangjing sat down, and Zhangjing's unconsciousness completely shattered the Manchu soldiers' idea of ​​breaking through. This is the case, what are you doing?

I don’t know which one sighed first, turned over and sat on the ground. Soon, dozens of Eight Banners soldiers sat on the ground, lowered their heads and kept silent, allowing the enemy to point at them and scold them.

“Get out of here!”

The crowd of Shunjun was separated by a group of personal soldiers, and the young general Li Yanzong, holding a red tassel spear, walked out of the crowd.

After looking at the Manchu soldiers sitting on the ground, Li Yanzong raised his lips and said to them: "Those who wish to surrender can avoid death!"

When some Manchu soldiers who could understand Chinese heard this, they instinctively looked up at the Shun Army general opposite, and then looked at Dali Zhangjing, who seemed to be still in a coma.

Subconsciously, these Manchu soldiers still maintained their "obedience" instinct.

They are in pain, and everyone is suffering from the heart.

Because in the past, they didn't know how to kill the Han people, how many Han people begged for mercy, and how many Han people's heads were cut off from their laughter.

At that time, they were mighty Manchurian warriors. They enjoyed killing people, they were proud of destroying their families, and they took the heads of the Han people as military merits!

But today, looking at the eyes around them, they shivered, they feared, and they regretted

Will Zhang Jing surrender and let us survive?

At this moment, most of the Manchu soldiers had only such thoughts in their minds. They looked at Dali Zhangjing lying on the ground anxiously and anxiously. Everyone's heart was beating, and their eyes were filled with desire for life.

Geng Yunsheng also had desire on his face. The one who was about to die should be Manchus, he was Han!

Dali woke up.

Maybe Dali had woken up long ago, but he couldn't accept reality.

Barutu's self-esteem forced Dali to wake up.

He slowly sat up from the ground and did not look at his subordinates. Instead, he looked up at the "thief general" holding a red tassel spear in front of him, and asked unwillingly: "Who are you?"

He could not change his fate of failure, but he wanted to die clearly. If he didn't even know which side he would belong to, he would be a little unwilling to accept it.

"We are the Han army!"

A Huai'an sentry official answered Dali's question.

"The Han army?"

Dali was stunned.

There were many Han troops, were they the Ming Dynasty or the thief army?

Suddenly, I laughed at myself, I was about to die, why do I want to do so much?

"Hangou, do you want me to surrender?"

Dali sneered, his neck was tightened, his veins swelled up, and he looked arrogant, "Do you know how many Han dogs died under my knife?"

He still has a lot of arrogant words to say, and his life was very brilliant.

But before he could say the second sentence, his chest hurt, and then his whole body fell backwards. It turned out that there was a hole in his chest, and blood was emitting "guru" out.
