In the dense forests on the banks of Chaobai Lake in Baodi County, Jingdong, a team is moving forward with difficulty.

Dozens of armored Manchu soldiers walked in front with swords and glanced around from time to time with vigilance. Behind the team, there were also hundreds of armored Manchu soldiers walking back and looking back as if they were facing a great enemy.

This is a Manchurian team that was separated from the same group of people, mainly the family members of the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner. There are about a thousand people, but there are only more than two hundred guards.

Moreover, they had just experienced the pursuit of the Shun Army. This pursuit reduced the team of more than 3,000 people by half, and allowed more than 100 Manchu warriors to stay in the pass forever.

If Meleezhen Ma Guangyuan hadn't been fighting with those thieves to death and scare those thieves with their fierce and fearless spirit, this team would have been no longer there.

Because of Shunjun's untrustworthy and their shameless sneak attack, the two white flag teams that had already crossed Xianghe suffered severe damage. Those who escaped did not dare to recall the scene at that time. They only remembered that there were dead bodies everywhere, and countless relatives were cruelly killed by Shunjun.

It is no exaggeration to say that the dead Manchus blocked the Grand Canal beside Xianghe City!

This also led to the eighth town of the former Huai Army in the downstream Tianjin section having to organize troops to catch corpses, which lasted for half a month.

Manchuria is not without resistance, nor is Manchuria a warrior.

Prince Yu Duoduo led the brave Manchu soldiers to fight the treacherous thieves to the death. Although the Shun thieves suffered a great loss, there were too few brave Manchu soldiers after all. Under the attacks of those Shun thieves who were like wolves, the Manchu soldiers were ultimately dissatisfied.

Every time one falls, one loses one forever, while one falls, more people come to the other. For the Manchu soldiers, this is a morale blow and a mental torture.

During the fight, Prince Duoduo discovered the Qing traitor Geng Zhongming. He angrily asked the other party why he led people to attack the two white flags. Is it so untrustworthy for the Han people?

"If you trust, the three million Han people outside the pass will not die!"

"If you trust, you will not be killed by hundreds of thousands of Han people in the four cities of Yongping!"

""

Geng Zhongming didn't want to talk nonsense to Duoduo. The king of the regent has arrived in Liangxiang and will enter Beijing to ascend the throne soon, so Duoduo's head is the best gift he Geng Zhongming gave to Emperor Dashun.

"If you are trustworthy, you will not occupy Fan Wencheng's wife!"

Amid the sarcasm, Geng Zhongming led his horse to the army and rushed towards Duoduo's troops again.

These two white flag braided soldiers are brave, but their bravery cannot save the Manchu clan who has been listed by the Dashun King.

The Eight Banners of the Original Han Army, who were determined to give the Manchu head to the Dashun New Dynasty as a gift, collided with the White Banners of the Manchu Army who fought to protect their tribesmen in the wind and rain.

Unfortunately, Duoduo ran away.

There were many Manchus who ran away. They did not run away, but were divided into many stocks. The largest stock must be the one led by Prince Yu Duoduo, with about ten thousand people. The second is the one led by Dorobelenikan, with about three or four thousand people.

Geng Zhongming's son Geng Jimao brought more than a thousand soldiers to bite Nikan. After the two sides fought to the death, less than half of the Nikan team remained.

In fact, if we hadn't brought so many women and children to escape, Nikan would definitely be able to get rid of Geng Jimao with his ability, and he could even turn around and hurt Geng Jimao. However, what Nikan could do now is to take the women and children of Zhengbai Banner to try their best to get rid of the pursuers.

But although he got rid of Geng Jimao, everyone in the team, including Nikan, was exhausted, and everyone's heart was filled with fear.

They didn't know if they could return to their hometown outside the country alive, and they didn't even know where the two yellow and red flags were before they left Beijing.

Without a guide or a map, everything is exploring by human instinct, and they don’t know where they are now.

The heavy rain completely lost the direction of the Manchus.

However, this heavy rain also caused a headache for the pursuers of the Shun Army behind. Geng Jimao is now worried about losing his target.

"Master Beile, the people below can't walk anymore. I think I'll take a break in this forest." The wounded Ma Guangyuan found Nikan in front of the team with the help of his personal soldiers.

"Ma Aita, your injury is not important, right?"

Nikan helped Ma Guangyuan sit under a tree with concern. Although Ma Guangyuan was a general of the former Ming Dynasty, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty very early. When his eighth uncle Huang Taiji was persuaded to advance by all ministers, five Han generals jointly persuaded him to advance, one of them was Ma Guangyuan, and the other four were Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Shi Tingzhu.

Now that Shi Tingzhu and Kong Youde are dead, Geng Zhongming betrayed the Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi followed his thirteenth uncle Ajige, but this King Zhishun is most likely not reliable, because the family of Zhishun's vassal was captured by Shunzi.

Ma Aita showed his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty with practical actions. Thinking of the scene where Ma Guangyuan fought to the death with the pursuers and shouted that Mr. Beile was about to leave quickly, Nikan was moved: If the Han ministers and the Han army were like Ma Aita, there would be hope for the Qing Dynasty!

The current situation is that the team really can't leave anymore. Nikan himself is tired, and his concubine and mother are also in the team.

Young people can persevere, but how can the elderly persist?

Depending on the situation, Geng Jimao will catch up for a while, and he is really unhappy when he is rushing in the dark. Nikan sent someone to send an order to rest in the forest and wait until dawn to recover before continuing to hurry up.

After the order to camp on the spot was passed, the Manchu family and the flag soldiers were all as if they were amnesty. Although they did not have any equipment to protect the wind and rain, even if they could sit for a while, they could calm their mood and breathe stably.

Gradually, many Manchus fell asleep in the wind and rain.

Nikan was not sleeping, so he forced people to patrol around with his energy. He was very afraid that Geng Jimao's dog thief would bring people to him.

He was wearing the sword left by his grandfather to him. Although his grandfather didn't like his mama, he was very fond of them and their grandsons.

After patrolling around, no abnormalities were found. Nikan also found a place to lean against the tree and planned to sniff for a while. He was also very sleepy. His legs were a little swollen because of the daytime escape. It seemed that a piece of skin was worn out by his boots on his side, which hurt when he walked.

In a daze, Nikan felt something covering him. When he woke up, he fell asleep and found that his wife Amahjong was covering him with a sack.

Unlike other Bele, Nikan's wife did not marry from Korqin, Mongolia, but the girl from Guo Luoluo. He and Ama were called childhood sweethearts in the Han Dynasty, and they met when they were very young.

The sack cannot protect the cold or even protect the rain, but this sack still makes Nikan feel warm.

Nikan looks very much like the Han people, not at all the Manchus' pointed faces, nor has yellow teeth, so he is the most handsome among the many Bellbezis.

"Where is my mom?"

Nikan held his wife Ama's hand. His mother, Fucha, was the daughter of the old Taiji Erjitu of the Haixi tribe.

When Feng Ying committed the crime, Fu Cha suffered a lot, so Nikan wanted to let his mother enjoy her happiness when he grew up. Three years ago, he went to Shengjing to pick up his mother to Beijing. The whole family lived in a large house of Han people and felt so comfortable.

But now

Thinking of the suffering my mother suffered, Nikan felt sad.

"My mom and Sanfujin and the others."

Ama stretched out her finger and pointed not far away. The Third Concubine was the wife of Nikan's brother Guohuan and Ama's aunt.

Nikan nodded and signaled his wife Ama to rest beside him.

"We have to leave as soon as the sky is dawn. This is a place for the Han people, and it is not safe. We have to meet with the two yellow flags as soon as possible."

"Um."

Ama nodded and leaned against her husband and closed her eyes.

Nikan looked around and saw it, it was pitch black, and there was no movement in his ears. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He closed his eyes and continued to fall asleep, but he soon fell asleep.

In his dream, he dreamed that Ama was pregnant. He rode his newborn son on a horse and wanted to report the good news to him, telling Ama that he finally had a grandson.
