Changping.

The head of Shuntian Prefecture Zhang Ruoqi looked at the Manchu army that disappeared from his sight, and felt mixed feelings because he knew that Changping would definitely welcome bandits when the Manchu army left.

The Qing army who left Changping was the third-class Gongtu Lai army who was led by Juyongguan. They arrived in Changping yesterday.

The arrival of the Manchu army made the officials in Changping City, who had always been worried about being attacked by bandits, all thanked. However, they all heard that the bandits in Tongzhou in the east had slaughtered the city, so they all worried that Changping would become the second Tongzhou.

Now, the third-class Gongtu Lai led his army to Changping, guarding thousands of real Manchu soldiers, and the bandits definitely did not dare to invade!

But before the joy of the officials in the city passed, the Manchu soldiers suddenly broke into the warehouse in the city, and then moved all the food in the warehouse out and put them on the carriage. Just when the officials were confused about what the Manchu soldiers were doing, the soldiers had already started looting the whole city.

There is only one goal of looting, which is the food on which the residents rely for their lives.

Whether it was the rich and poor people, they were all looted by Manchu soldiers. During the looting process, dozens of more people were killed by Manchu soldiers.

Duan Xianzhu, the governor of Changpingyuan, was a former Ming Dynasty official and was assassinated a month ago. Because Changping directly belonged to Shuntian Prefecture, the Ministry of Personnel asked Zhang Ruoqi, the chief of Shuntian Prefecture, to come to Changping as the governor of Changping.

As the parents of Changping, Zhang Ruoqi had to ask the third-class Gongtu Lai clearly, but before he was mentally prepared, he mustered up the courage to ask, the yamen runners came to report that the Manchurian army had left the city!

When Zhang Ruoqi was furious and rushed to the city gate, the Manchu army had already gone far in his sight.

Zhang Ruoqi didn't know what happened, but he knew something must have happened, so he quickly sent someone to the capital to inquire. Only then did he know that the Regent had decided to personally expedition a few days ago, and the Eight Banners soldiers near the capital were returning quickly.

The army went on a war, with food and grass being the first priority. This can explain why Tu Lai robbed the warehouse in Changping City and then robbed the troops.

What can a small Shuntian Mansion Master do?

Now, even the imperial court has not sued him!

One day, two days passed, and Changping City was filled with sorrow, and the people who had no food were forced to leave the city and go to the countryside to seek a way out.

Many gentry and wealthy families also began to flee with their families, but the people could run away. How could those who are officials and soldiers run away?

On the third day, a team of bandits came outside the city, with thousands of people scattered.

The thief general Yang Qingquan sent someone to shoot in the book city, saying that as long as Changping was willing to surrender, the lives of civil and military officials and the people in the city could be preserved.

Everyone was waiting for Lord Zhang to make an idea, but Lord Zhang’s idea was really hard to get.

Because Lord Zhang is unique!

Two years ago, Lord Zhang was the Shanhai Defense Envoy of Dashun, and was appointed as the Minister of the Army Government, and the envoy of Emperor Yongchang went to Shanhaiguan to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender.

Five years ago, Lord Zhang was the chief of Fangsi, a military officer of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. He was ordered by the emperor to go out to serve as the military supervisor on the Jinzhou front line. When he was in charge of the military, he blindly urged the Governor Hong Chengchou to advance, which resulted in a great defeat in Songshan and the Ming army suffered more than half of the losses.

Logically, Zhang Ruoqi should have been asked to be executed, but Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, covered up his subordinates. Not only was he not held accountable, he still went out of the army to supervise the army.

A year later, Songshan was captured by the Qing army, Hong Chengchou was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Ruoqi fled back to the capital. This time he did not have Chen Xinjia's protection and was eventually put into prison.

It was also the heavens that Zhang Ruoqi had not stopped. Not long after he was in prison, the Dashun army entered the city. The prisoner turned into a celebrity around Emperor Yongchang of Dashun. Not only did he become a high-ranking official in Dashun, but he also took the important task of Dashun's persuading Wu Sangui to surrender.

However, Zhang Ruoqi did not persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, but was persuaded to surrender by Wu Sangui himself. So after the Qing army entered Beijing, Zhang Ruoqi turned around again and became the official of the Qing Dynasty.

Only this time, his official position was very small, and the Qing court probably knew his "skills", so he only gave him a small Shuntian Prefecture Chief.

When God is about to give a great responsibility to this man, he must first suffer his mind and mind and muscles.

History once again threw the opportunity of a major turning point to Zhang Ruoqi.

Is it life or death!

In the end, Zhang Ruoqi chose to live after the battle between heaven and man.

When the acting magistrate Zhang said the words of Kaicheng surrender, officials from all over Changping all breathed a sigh of relief.

After half a stick of incense, the gate of Changping City opened.

Zhang Ruoqi was worried that General Yang would not keep his word, but after General Yang entered the city, he quickly asked him to organize the people in the city to Yanqing, saying that Changping would definitely be attacked by the Qing army soon, and he was worried about leaving you guys in the city.

This is really the truth, Zhang Ruoqi has no doubts about it at all.

Yes, General Yang has only a thousand people, but they have more than two thousand people. The Qing army really wants to fight over. Can General Yang rest assured them?

Without any dissatisfaction or resistance, Shuntian Prefecture Chief Zhang Ruoqi and below 37 officials of all sizes and below, and more than 2,600 Green Camp soldiers, obediently left the city under the strict surveillance of the Huai Army and headed for Yanqing as if he had escaped from the cage.

In order to reassure Changping and other officials surrendered to the surrendered soldiers, Yang Qingquan also specially sent rations to each person for two days. Yanqing was not far away, so it was definitely enough to save some food.

This action made Zhang Ruoqi and others feel even more at ease, thinking that the bandits are not as good as the legendary ones.

After walking about ten miles away from the city, the surrendered officials and the surrendered soldiers found a cavalry team ahead of them, and then the cavalry team suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them, and the people in front had already drawn their swords.

Blood splattered quickly, and dozens of lives were harvested in the blink of an eye.

A massacre happened in a short time.

The murderer was Li Chengdong's army who came from Juyongguan, and Li Chengdong had no idea in advance that the team coming from Changping had surrendered.

Yang Qingquan actually asked these people to go to Yanqing.

Li Chengdong's subordinates slashed and killed the unarmed surrendered soldiers. The wailing sounds of those surrendered officials who were powerless were like cheering them up for their fun, making them more and more excited as they killed.

Zhang Ruoqi murmured to himself when he fell down. This sentence made Yang Qingquan in Changping City sneeze, and he didn't know that he had taken the blame for Li Chengdong.

When Li Chengdong led his men to Changping and told Yang Qingquan happily that he had wiped out a green camp soldier on the way, Yang Qingquan was stunned for half a stick of incense, and finally touched his head, took out his cigarette puff and sat down to smoke.

At the city of Baoding hundreds of miles away, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, was also smoking a dull smoke.

The more you smoke, the less you feel, the more you smoke, the more you smoke, the more you become, the more irritating it becomes. The more you smoke, the more annoying it becomes.

It was because Lu Si, the thief in Baoding City, hugged in the city like a turtle, and ignored him Dorgon.

"Is it a turtle to stay motionless? This is wrong. The military strategy is full of clouds, and it is as motionless as a mountain!"
