Chapter 215: Facing the Fortified City

Qin Liangkai, the prefect of Daming Prefecture, also skipped the various regimes.

But the Qing Dynasty did lack people and officials, so although his abilities were mediocre, he could still sit in this chair safely.

But incompetent people also have the benefits of incompetent people. That is, they are cautious in everything they do.

Especially Ajige, after staying in Daming Mansion, Qin Liangkai served as a careful person every day like a young wife, and even cultivated this kind of caution to the extreme.

When Ajige's army moved south, it became his army's logistics supply base. He only left him with three thousand Han and Eight Banners, so Qin Liangkai dared to be even more careless.

He strictly stipulated that the four gates of Daming Mansion will only be open for one hour until noon, and after repeatedly confirming that there is no enemy situation around, it will be open for the people to come in and out for some life.

As for the life difficulties that this one hour brings to the people in the city, this is not what he cares about.

All he cared about was the chair under his butt and the gauze hat on his head.

The Mandu president of the Eight Banners of Han was Berger, a Manchu guy who only cared about drinking.

After entering the Central Plains, I was even more confused by the old Baigan from Shandong, and I was immersed in the fragrance of wine every day.

Chen Liancai, the Han governor, was also a cautious person. He was even more afraid that something would go wrong during this period and the master would be killed.

Therefore, the defense of this Daming Mansion is even more rigorous.

On this day, when it was almost time to open the city gate, Chen Lian once again climbed the city to patrol the distance to ensure that everything was safe.

When he walked to the south gate, he suddenly realized that a thin layer of smoke was rising under the horizon to the south.

With years of experience, he immediately felt that a large group of people were approaching him.

"Is it because his master Desheng is back?" Because Ajige has been surrounded and suppressed several times in this surrounding area, there are no more large bandits here.

But he stretched his neck cautiously and looked outward.

The Qing soldiers beside him asked him: "General, can you open the city gate?"

"Wait a minute, and then talk about it."

"If the master comes back, you are so negligent and be careful to eat the whip."

Chen Liancai smiled: "Eat your master's whip, that is your master's grace. If there is a slight loss of food and grass in the city, it is your master's knife."

While the two were talking, the sentry on the enemy's building suddenly yelled: "It's the Ming army, the Ming army."

Chen Liancai was stunned for a moment: "The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, the Southern Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, where does the Ming army come from?" But suddenly I remembered: "There is a new Ming in Shandong. This is really a peaceful life, I forgot about this."

"Come on the suspension bridge quickly and order all the soldiers to go to the city immediately. Go to the Mandu Governor and send another person to notify the prefect."

After orders were issued one by one, the entire Daming Mansion was in chaos.

The prefect Qin Liangkai, who was panting and climbing up the city wall, still had a disbelief expression: "Where did the Ming army come from? Don't make a mistake and block your master outside the door."

Chen Lianzhe stamped his feet: "Where are the Ming army coming from? That's all in front of you. Open your dog's eyes and take a look."

The officials of the Qing Dynasty were divided into four levels, and the first-class Manchus were the masters.

Eryishi was a Mongolian, who was his master's friend and an ally.

Sanyijia is a Han man outside the pass, after all, an old slave.

The fourth level is the Han people in the Central Plains who are only joining now.

If the old slave bullies the new slave, he is not in a balanced mood.

Qin Liang was scolded by the deputy general of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, so he didn't dare to get angry at all. Then he opened his faint old eyes and carefully observed outside the city.

The Ming army rumbling and rumbling, and formed a formation three miles away. The neat military uniforms, the bright bayonets, and the flying Ming battle flag finally understood: "The enemy is really here. General, please guard the city wall. I will immediately go down to organize the civilians to prepare food for the soldiers guarding the city." Then, with agility that was not matched with his age, he ran down the city wall directly.

He ran back to his yamen and did not call his subordinates to hold a meeting to study defense, but rushed directly into the inner house in the backyard.

Seeing him panicked, the old wife asked in surprise: "Master, has something big happened?"

Qin Liang hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.

"Master, what are you looking for?"

Qin Liang roared in a hurry: "Where did my Ming official uniform go? Where did my wig go?"

Only then did the old wife understand: "Why, the Ming army is coming? Is it going to change again?"

Qin Liangkai lowered his voice: "It's Xinming from Shandong. Kai has come and has not broken the city yet. But we must be prepared for any trouble, right?"

The old wife told him in panic: "But I heard that Wang Xuejun would not accept the surrender of people like us?"

Qin Liangkai shook his head: "That was the year of the celestial calendar? The current young emperor of Xinming issued an edict to accept our surrender and to be promoted to another level."

Then he said proudly: "Maybe this time, you, I will be promoted to another title. I heard that the officials' salaries in the Xinming court in Shandong are very generous."

Xu Jie, who was standing outside the city, saw that the enemy's defense was tight, but had reached this point and had no way out: "I don't care who the enemy's guards are in the city or how many guards there are. I must capture Daming Mansion, even if I fight alone."

Li Jinjiang smiled: "I probably have made a statement about the governor's determination, because according to the report of the Jinyiwei, Ajige has taken away his main force, and there are only three thousand Han and Eight Banners here. Under the attack of our 10,000 army, I guess they will open the city and surrender soon. Doesn't the governor know this information?"

"Did you make a fuss with me? You did it on purpose, right? Don't you know I'm motivating morale?"

Li Jinjiang smiled: "I am a honest and honest person. What I annoyed the most is that I have different opinions and have a guy in my stomach who says something in my mouth."

Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, you won't be able to do well under my hands in the future. You will wear your shoes."

Li Jinjiang smiled and said, "I am the general officer of Shandong, and I am the governor of Luyu, Li Yanguan. You are the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When this battle is over, you can get out of here."

Xu Jie pointed at his nose, and only you are left.

In fact, both of them were from the capital after Wang Xuejun, both civil and military, and they were also friends.

This is just a deliberately searching for trouble among friends.

While the two were bickering, Li Fang, the real military advisor of the 10,000th Man Team, came over: "The formation of the siege has been prepared, please give the general the order."

Li Jinjiang was about to wave.

Xu Jie interrupted directly: "How did you arrange the siege?"

Li Fang replied: "I really can't attack with other methods, I can only use cloud ladders to attack the city."

Ant attacks the city, which is the most serious casualties and the most direct and effective in desperation.

"The lives of our soldiers are precious. For every soldier killed in battle, my old boss will have to pay 50 taels of silver for pension, which is absolutely not possible."

The reason why he could sympathize with soldiers was so profitable that Li Jinjiang was so angry that his brain hurt and his blood pressure soared significantly.

"Take out all our explosives and blow me up the wall."

Li Fang quickly stopped him: "If the city wall is blown up, we will have no danger when we are guarding."

Xu Jie used the fan in his hand to hit Li Fang's head violently: "Depending on the enemy here, we are attacking lightly. Why am I guarding this city? As long as I snatch Ajige's supplies and as long as I transfer back to Ajige, we have to run away."
