After Bai Guangen finished speaking, the whole house was silent.

The generals under Ma Ke had different expressions, and I didn't know how much thought they had for a while.

Ma Ke suddenly spoke: "Brother Bai, what's going on when you say the capital is about to be lost and the Ming Dynasty is about to be destroyed?"

He stared at Bai Guangen with a burning gaze, as if he didn't want to miss a word.

When Bai Guangen heard this, he was happy and said with a smile: "Brother Ma heard it right. The capital is about to be lost, and the Ming Dynasty is about to be destroyed. My lord's Northern Expedition, does Brother Ma think that the troops in Shanhaiguan are in this way?"

Ma Ke took a deep breath: "I heard that he occupied Henan last year, and Henan suffered from the suffering of thieves, almost thousands of miles away. Where did he get the capital for the Northern Expedition? How did Shanhaiguan lose it? Could it be that he was on the water route?"

Bai Guangen smiled and said, "Brother Ma said it is right. My lord is indeed a waterway. However, Brother Ma's vision is limited, so how can I know my lord's foundation? Brother Ma knows when it takes my lord to lead 6,000 troops to seize the pass?"

Marco shook his head.

Bai Guangen said, "I heard the alarm bell and immediately put on my armor and sent a command. Before I could reach the wall, the city was broken. In less than an hour, five thousand defenders were beheaded, and the remaining 14,000 surrendered. My commander's army was so strong that even the Tartars were far inferior. My commander's power was unpredictable. The world was determined by heaven. A mere Tartars would be destroyed sooner or later."

He also said: "I am the commander of the Northern Expedition, and I will seize Shanhaiguan all the way to resist the Eastern Captains. There are two other troops, hehe, I believe that Brother Ma is not unaware of it. Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to serve the king, but isn't it because of this."

After hearing this, Ma Ke expressed confusion about Bai Guangen's fanaticism, but he knew that it was a fact that Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to serve the king.

The so-called rebels have indeed brought troops to the capital.

He took a breath and said, "What's the benefit if I want me to vote for him?"

Bai Guangen laughed loudly when he heard this, pointing at Ma Ke and almost burst into tears: "Brother Ma is over, and he still has the benefit of his spirit?"

Marco's face looked extremely ugly.

Bai Guangen said: "My lord is not Emperor Chongzhen. My lord is strong. If Brother Ma still relies on his own military and horses and threatens my lord like he did in the past, this idea might be wrong. My lord said: Guanning Army is optional. With the strength of my lord's army, only one Shanhaiguan is enough. It is no problem to have a mere Eastern captain. Brother Ma, now it is not a time to deal with conditions, life and death are at stake."

Ma Ke and others had their faces pale and they were not good-looking.

Bai Guangen said: "At this time, I'm afraid that the army has been reorganized in Shanhaiguan. For example, my brother's family camp must have been broken up and reorganized. If Brother Ma joins my leader, it will be the same. However, in the new dynasty, all military generals have no selfless soldiers, which is the reason. But after all, there is no need to be a slave or a servant for the Tartars, and there is no need to see their ancestors in the nine springs. In this regard, Brother Ma will observe it."

Then he stood up and said, "Please arrange a residence for me, and I will come and listen to Brother Ma's choice tomorrow."

As he said that, he went out by himself.

Ma Ke nodded expressionlessly and nodded to the side. Someone went out to arrange a residence for Bai Guangen.

At this time, Ma Ke said with a rigorous look on his face: "What do you have to say to Bai Guangen?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one speaks for a while.

They are all in a mess and have no choice for the time being.

Ma Ke sighed: "What Bai Guangen said is not without reason. Shanhaiguan has been lost. There is an Eastern Barbarian in front of my garrison and no retreat in the future. It is really a matter of life and death. If you join the Tartars, after all, you will not be as good as Wu Sangui. Once you leave, you will definitely be a slave and a servant, which will shame our ancestors. However, after hearing Bai Guangen's words, the person in Henan must be a strong man and cannot bear the threat. Everyone, life and death are at stake. How to go ahead, I dare not make a decision and speak freely."

He waved his hand and ordered his servants to surround the meeting hall, without any consequences or in and out.

Shanhaiguan.

After confessing that Guangen left, Wang Yisheng began to select and reorganize the surrendered army.

In the military camp, 14,000 Ming army surrendered soldiers were driven out of the barracks and gathered at the school ground.

Wang Yisheng stood on the general stage with a cold face. After waiting for most of the hour, the surrendered troops were assembled.

"Such a scattered person is indeed a mob." He said to another general beside him.

The general nodded slightly: "After all, they cannot be compared with our subordinate. Brother Wang's expectations are too high."

Wang Yisheng smiled and said in a flash, "It can be seen from here that the fall of the Ming Dynasty is not for no reason."

After the 14,000 surrendered soldiers were assembled, they stood on the stage and saw that they clearly divided the two groups.

In front is the battalion of the surrendered generals. In terms of posture and temperament, or equipment, it is almost a difference between heaven and earth compared to the ordinary soldiers behind.

Of course, it is incomparable to the golden armored soldiers surrounding them and is incomparable.

For ordinary surrendered soldiers, almost apart from a knife or a gun, only one-third of the military uniforms like the Mandarin Duck Jacket are available. Most of them are tattered.

The Family Ding Biao Camp was fully armed, of course, that's it.

Ordinary surrendered soldiers are timid, and they are all yellow and thin. The family guards are also much more powerful, and they are more than several times stronger.

The subsequent selection was based on age in the first round. All those under the age of sixteen and over forty will be eliminated.

Then look at the body. Don’t want the weak and sick person, and you can meet the health standards.

After two rounds of selection, nearly half of the 14,000 surrendered soldiers were eliminated, leaving 7,200 people.

Wang Yisheng waved his hand and disbanded the eliminated ones and sent him to rebel.

Then the last round of selection is carried out.

Seven thousand and two hundred people, in groups of six hundred, were used to assess physical fitness and will. They ran around the school ground until Wang Yisheng called for a stop.

In this process, those who are not qualified in physical fitness and perseverance are eliminated.

The last round of checks did not end until the next day. Finally, three thousand qualified soldiers were selected and more than half were eliminated.

In other words, there were only 3,000 troops who surrendered in the end, which was only one unit that was initially qualified.

"Lord, the last 3,000 people who are barely qualified will be selected, and the rest will be eliminated."

Ying Yi heard this and said, "Yingming General has five thousand servants, how can he pass the qualifications of three thousand?"

Wang Yisheng said: "When you return to your lord, the surrendered generals and servants are much more powerful than ordinary surrendered soldiers, they also have many shortcomings."

Ying Yi said: "Let me tell me."

Wang Yisheng bowed and said, "Although the Ding Biao camp of the Ming general is strong, he is domineering and bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. In terms of perseverance, he has no advantage over ordinary surrendered soldiers. Among the three thousand selected people, the Ding Biao camp and the ordinary surrendered soldiers account for almost half of each."

Ying Yi immediately understood.

When fighting in a group, physical strength is one of them, but if you only have physical strength but no perseverance, it will be just an embroidered pillow, which looks good and is useless to use.

Although the Dingbiao battalion of the Ming army was stronger than ordinary soldiers, it could not fight tough battles. In this regard, it was not much stronger than ordinary surrendered soldiers.
