Standing on the city wall of Fuji, the second master saw that fifty of his own disciples who had gone out were missing on the battlefield, and that a thousand Han slaves were missing on the battlefield. His heart suddenly felt a pinching pain.

He did not feel sorry for the thousand slaves who died in the battle, but felt sorry for the fifty true female disciples of his own.

Now he began to regret that he had agreed to the leader's request. He regretted that he had indeed despised Mao Wenlong.

In his accustomed knowledge, the Ming army could kill and drive them away as long as he dispatched thirty or fifty warriors.

Therefore, he took out fifty real warriors and added a thousand Han slaves who were held hostage by him.

In the eyes of the second master, this is something he attaches great importance to, no, he thinks highly of Mao Wenlong.

However, the result was beyond the second master's surprise. A thousand slaves achieved the effect of their desperate fight, and the fifty warriors also did what they should do, but they all died in the battle. What made the second master most sad

Surprisingly, such losses only caused less than 300 losses to Mao Wenlong's team.

The second master lost his energy and spirit, not because he was depressed, but because he misjudged his opponent and was frightened.

If the opponent is so powerful, then all he can hold in his hands is less than a hundred true Jurchens, so can this castle be saved?

"Send people to Zhenjiang for help and tell them that Mao Wenlong's main force is here." The second master ordered his housekeeper.

The housekeeper's face was pale with fear at this time, and the second master could clearly see that his legs were trembling.

This is the slave who has lived with him through life and death. When he joined the army of King Lao Han, he was the first prisoner of war and the first to receive his favor. Now he is his most loyal slave.

"Go ahead and do it. Remember, send a reliable person to explain my intention clearly." The second master had to warn me at this time.

This old bagger only agreed.

After he left, the Second Master stood on the city wall, facing the crowd of slaves inside, and announced his decision loudly: "In today's battle, our warriors showed their bravery. Now I declare that all warriors who fight will

Their families should receive the glory and benefits that their children have brought to them. I now declare that the families of all the slaves who went to war are no longer slaves. Now I will let them return to the common people and enjoy the heirloom rights of thirty acres of land, and

There will never be taxes."

Faced with such sudden grace, the people standing under the city wall who were still grieving and crying because of the loss of their loved ones suddenly became excited. After a moment of silence, they even let out a burst of cheers involuntarily.

The second master first enjoyed the cheers of thanksgiving from thousands of people, then pressed his hands, and then said loudly: "You saw this time, Mao Wenlong only came with a few hundred people, didn't he want to

Restoring the rule here is just a matter of looting and leaving."

This is a fact. Mao Wenlong did come with a small number of people and a small force this time. He did not attack Zhenjiang but took his own town. This has made it very clear that he was just plundering and then leaving.

This reality makes the Han people who still have hope feel despair.

The second master screamed at the people again on the city wall: "Your sons rushed out just now, but what did Mao Wenlong do? They didn't show mercy just because they were Han Chinese. They killed all your sons. Then they

Will your lives be left behind if you break through this fortress? Don't be naive, they will still be like before. They will eventually kill everyone here after breaking through this fortress, plunder everything here, and then abandon you and retreat to

Go to North Korea."

All the Han people are devastated. In these more than ten years of war, you have come and gone, and the people who have been massacred are all the people. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not show mercy because they were Han people, and they did not forgive them because they were obedient. Who is it?

Who can we really rely on? No, we can only accept it, at least hide in this fortress, at least we can continue to live with this second master.

"I reiterate now that the enemy is not powerful. They only have a few hundred people. We should not be afraid of them. This time, if anyone goes up to the city wall to resist the enemy's attack, I will give him twelve taels of silver for every day he persists. As long as

Defeat the enemy and abolish all your slave status. I stand here and keep my word."

Second Master's promise is still real when all Han people think about it, at least it is still real now.

"Bring me my knife." The gray-haired second master loudly ordered to the slave beside him.

The servant next to him respectfully handed over his sword with both hands. The second master took it with one hand and pulled the sword out of the sheath. When the baby was in his hand, his originally rickety and thin body suddenly straightened up.

A fierce murderous aura burst out from his face without fireworks, as if he had once again returned to the battlefield of gold and iron, as if he had once again faced countless enemies and once again regained his youthful courage.

"I will give you a generous reward. Of course, I ask you to pay for me. From now on, all of you must go up to the city wall and guard this fort. Wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Zhenjiang. Those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded.

Those who dare to retreat will be killed. My sword is here, and it is still sharp."

The dozens of remaining Jiannu slaves were encouraged by the second master, and they took out the swords from their waists and drove the common people, whether they were old, weak, sick or disabled, or young and strong, onto the city wall.

The second master, who strode back to his house, loudly ordered to several close family members who were following closely behind him: "This has reached a critical moment of life and death. I now order that everyone over fifteen years old and under fifty years old, regardless of gender,

Our Jurchens should immediately pick up swords and guns, regain the courage of their ancestors, go to the city, supervise and fight against those Han slaves, and must defend our homeland."

Jurchen men are already fighting soldiers at the age of fifteen. They have been fighting against financial wolves and leopards since they were young. Jurchen women also develop the same bravery as men in harsh environments.

In the past few years, although the previous wars have been going smoothly and women and children have withdrawn from the war, things are different now. There are almost no reinforcements outside. Those women want to save their homes and their lives.

You must pick up the sword and gun again and become a soldier on the battlefield. War makes women go away. That is bullshit.

With the issuance of the second master's general order, the entire wealthy community was truly mobilized this time. The Jurchens, men, women, and children all abandoned their comfort and took up swords and guns together and rushed to the city.
