Zhang Xin, the former Minister of Justice of the Ming Dynasty and currently the governor of Tianjin of the Qing Dynasty, did not expect that he would leave Beijing in the same carriage with Zu Dashou.

Although Zhang Xin is the governor of Tianjin, he has never been to Tianjin since he was appointed as an official. It is not that Governor Zhang doesn’t want to take office in Tianjin, but that he can’t.

There were seven or eight people in the same car. In addition to Zhang Xin, there were Zu Dashou's three sons, Zu Zepu, the second son, Zu Zehong, and the fourth son, Zu Zeqing.

Zu Zepu and Zu Zehong had always been leading the army to fight with Prince Yu Duoduo, but since the incident of his elder brother Zu Kefa surrendering the thief was confirmed, Zu Zepu and Zu Zehong were transferred from the army by Duoduo.

The other four were from the Han army flag, including Zhang Dingliao, Pei Guozhen and Chen Bangxuan, all deputy generals of the Han army. The remaining one was Zheng Changchun, who was a doctor in the Ministry of War. Zheng Changchun was Zu Dashou's aide in his early years. When Zu Dashou was besieged by the Jin army in Dalinghe City, Zheng Changchun tried his best to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

Finally, Zu Dashou ran back from the Later Jin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and was still the general of the Ming Dynasty. His eldest son Zu Zerun, second son Zu Zepu, third son Zu Zehong, and adopted son Zu Kefa, etc., were all left in the Later Jin Dynasty, and they were all valued by the Qing court, forming a strange situation of "father Ming and son Qing".

Zhang Xin was a little embarrassed after getting on the car. The reason was that when he was the right deputy censor of the Censorate during the Chongzhen period of the former Ming Dynasty, he wrote a letter to impeach Zu Dashou, because Zu Dashou's sons all surrendered to Jiannu. In this way, Zu Dashou was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Even if the court did not pursue his past defeat and killing generals such as He Kegang, he should no longer be entrusted with a general to guard the important town outside Jinzhou.

In short, it was Zhang Xin who asserted that Zu Dashou would definitely be "communicating with slaves" in private, so in order to prevent Zu Dashou from surrendering to slaves again in the future, he must not be allowed to stay in Jinzhou. However, Emperor Chongzhen trusted Zu Dashou, so Zhang Xin's letter failed to bring Zu Dashou down.

As time goes by, Zhang Xin himself is now an important Han official in the Qing court. It became very ironic to impeach Zu Dashou's "Tongnu" back then.

After sitting down, I felt a little nervous.

Zu Dashou was not as embarrassed as Zhang Xin. The past was over, so what else could I say? He had to ask curiously: "Why is Lord Shangshu alone?"

Zhang Xin said that the third leader of the Inlaid Yellow Banner was responsible for evacuating him. The 9th Niulu only gave his family a carriage. The whole family was so crowded that he was so crowded that he discussed with the 9th Niulu's leader whether he could transfer to him. Unexpectedly, he was arranged in the 1st carriage in the Zu family.

"There are so many people in Beijing who are leaving, and the vehicles are a little nervous. It will be better if they get out of the gate." Zu Dashou nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Zheng Changchun, Zhang Dingliao and others on the other side also remained silent, either lowering their heads and closing their eyes to rest, or looking at the evacuated Manchu family outside the window.

However, Zu Dashou's second son Zu Zepu kept staring at Zhang Xin. I wonder if the second son Zu still resented Zhang Xin's letter to scold them.

Zhang Xin was a little guilty when Zu Zepu saw it, and coughed lightly and said, "Zhu Shuai really thinks it's better to get out of the gate?"

Zheng Changchun, who was standing beside him, glanced at the Minister of Justice, and then turned to look outside the car. There was a team of Manchu soldiers wearing armor outside, saying that they were specifically guarding the safety of the Han officials such as Zu Dashou, but in fact they were monitoring them, or afraid that they would escape.

"Shangshu has other ideas. I think we should dismiss it as soon as possible. The main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is still there. After the pass is out of the pass, Lord Shangshu may not be unable to come back in the future."

Zu Dashou's tone was calm.

Zhang Xin felt a little confused when he heard this. The Zu family was good at cooperating with enemies. It seemed that Zu Dashou's tone had changed this habit, which was not a good thing.

He also hoped that Zu Dashou and his Han generals would have some "way" to help him. Now it seems that they really wanted to go to the bitter and cold place outside the pass.

No one spoke in the car anymore.

Outside the car window, one carriage after another was hunched with big bags of villains, pretending to be adults and villains constantly gathering towards the city gate like flowing water.

This morning is the day when the two yellow flags and the two red flags come out of the capital, and the emperor and the two empress dowagers come out of the capital. According to the plan, the two white flags can only leave at dusk.

Shunjun was urging him so much that he even put a big bell outside Guangqu Gate, saying that when the time comes, no matter how many Manchus in the capital have not left, they will all go into the city to accept them. Those who have not left at that time will not have to leave anymore.

The two blue flags left the city yesterday, with more than 70,000 Han officials evacuated with them. The prince of Duolu Chengze, Shuosai, led two thousand soldiers to guard along the way, and now he has passed Tongzhou.

Because the Four Banners evacuated too many people, cars and horses at the same time, and the gates to leave the city were blocked, many of the Manchu families of the Four Banners were waiting anxiously on the street. Zu Dashou and his party were also caught in the crowd and could not move. There were complaints everywhere in their ears, and curses from time to time.

Prince Li Daishan did not go to the palace to be responsible for the evacuation of the emperor and the empress dowager. This matter was handled by Nikan and Yue Le, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been in charge for a long time, so Daishan did not need to be present in person.

"Pick off the plaque."

Looking at the gate of his Prince Li’s Mansion, even Daishan, who advocated leaving the confinement, couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

When people get old, they always feel the impression of the scenery.

The servants hurriedly brought a ladder and carefully took off the plaque. The in charge came over and asked the old prince how to deal with the plaque, whether it was chopped or burned?

"Wrap it in cloth and take it outside the pass."

Dai Shan sighed lightly and walked to the side of the carriage with his hands behind his back. He was old and could no longer ride a war horse or carry a treasure sword.

"Don't worry, Ama, we will definitely come back in the future."

The person who spoke was Daishan's fourth son Wakda. His three brothers were Yuetuo who died of illness in Jinan. Because of his nephew Adalimou's Prince Dorgon, Dorgon, was exiled to death. Another was Sahalian, who was posthumously named Prince Heshuoying after his death.

Dai Shan didn't speak, but just silently got on the carriage with the help of his servants.

Wakda hesitated, walked to the side of the car and whispered, "Ama, have you decided?"

Dai Shan in the car was thinking, but he hadn't spoken for a long time anyway. Just as Wakda was about to ask again, his voice came from the car: "You and Karkhun go to Zhuozhou and tell Luo Luohun carefully about this matter and you can do it."

Daishan's sigh came from the car.

"The boy knows."

Wakda was delighted, and Ama finally made the decision that best benefited them both.

"There are no other things to do with the two yellow flags and the two blue flags. The bloody matter cannot be left to our two red flags. If you want to do it, everyone will do it together, so that they will not be able to make trouble for this matter in the future."
