Zhenghongqi Jia La Ezhen Yilintai had just been ordered to suppress the women and children from making trouble. He rushed to the city in a hurry. When he saw Dai Shan staring at Mang Gurtai opposite, motionless, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and left.
He stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, the Ming army will wait until dawn before launching an attack. Master, you might as well go and rest first. There are slaves here watching, so nothing will happen."
Daishan didn't say whether he was going to rest, he just asked: "Is everything suppressed?"
"Having cut dozens of them, it frightened them. Besides, Mi Sai is patrolling with his troops, so they can't cause any trouble."
"Alas." Daishan shook his head, sighed and said to Yilintai: "We need to find out which family the dead people belong to. When their men come back, Ben Beile must give them an explanation no matter what, so as not to let others blame me.
Cruel and cruel.”
"It's also Da Baile who is kind-hearted and reluctant to give up. If they were slaves, they would have sent troops to suppress them. They were allowed to make trouble in the city. The Ming army outside the city could not hear them, for fear of five Baile."
Yi Lintai was quite dissatisfied with Dai Shan's need to give an explanation to the deceased's family, but he always told Mang Gurtai that he was used to it, and he blurted out the words when he couldn't change his words. When he found that his master Dai Shan's face fell there,
Then he woke up and quickly changed his words: "Mang Gurtai, the traitor, may still be laughing at the master for having a Bodhisattva heart."
"We are always women of the Eight Banners. Ben Beile can't do this unless it is absolutely necessary." Daishan smiled bitterly and did not continue to dwell on the matter. He turned to ask Ezhentarai, who was always guarding behind him: "How many Han troops are there?"
Retreating?"
Tarai replied without thinking too much: "As my master said, Sun Degong brought 300 people back, the Zu family also brought 900 people back, and the rest are some skirmishers and Aha, the number is less than 500."
Daishan said "hmm" without saying anything, obviously not surprised that the Han army retreated into the inner city with only this small amount.[
Yi Lintai said bitterly: "There is no place in the eight outer cities where the Ming army is fighting to the death. These Han people really can't believe them. They should have chopped them off all at once. But the king of Khan believes in them very much. It's better now, the Ming army
As soon as these bastards either surrendered or escaped, we, Dajin, raised them in vain, and they are all a bunch of ungrateful white-eyed wolves! According to the slave, the old Khan did the right thing when he was here, and all these Han people should be killed.
.”
"Nonsense! The Han people also have loyal and righteous people. Sun Degong and his family are worthy of me. How can you say that the Han people are all ungrateful white-eyed wolves? Also, even if you say what you said today in front of me, it won't matter.
You must never say it in front of outsiders, you must know that disaster comes from your mouth." Dai Shan's voice and look were so stern that Yi Lintai quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.
"It's not the fault of the Han people that they can't defend the outer city. Besides, I have no hope of being able to defend the outer city. After all, our troops are too few to stop the Ming army. It's a mistake that Sun Degong and his family didn't join the Ming army like those surrendered generals."
I am a big gold loyal, you must not have any dissatisfaction with them, let alone have any objections. You must remember this point, you know? If I know who dares to do what I say behind my back, I can’t blame Ben Beile’s subordinates for their kindness.
!”
Yilintai and Talai responded hurriedly, saying that they would never dare to disobey their master's orders.
Daishan was still a little worried, so he sent someone to summon Sun Degong. The Zu family sent generals to Han people who had fled into the city. He wanted to appease the hearts of these Han people.
A group of Han surrendered generals are gathered together now, and they are very nervous.
Luckily for Sun Degong, Daishan had told him in advance to retreat into the inner city if nothing could be done, but he didn't even see the Ming army. He only heard that Shi Qianzhu had been kidnapped by Liu Tianlu and the others, so he hurriedly took him with him.
The soldiers retreated to the inner city, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
Zu Zerun and the others also learned that Sun Degong had run away, so they quickly followed suit. If Sun Degong could fulfill his duties, lead his troops to seize the Tianyou Sect, which was the first to rebel, slaughter Liu Tianlu and other surrendered generals, and retake the Tianyou Sect, then for the other
It was definitely a shot in the arm for the Jin army of several gates. Although they would definitely not be able to defend it in the end, they could always inflict some damage on the Ming army. How could the Ming army take control of the outer eight gates without a single blow?
Sun Degong's crime was serious, but after all, he surrendered to the Jin Kingdom eleven years ago, and also made great contributions in the Battle of Guangning. Among the Han officials who invested in the Jin Dynasty, his status was second only to Tong Yangxing and Li Yongfang, and he was even more harmonious.
He was friendly with the powerful officials of the Eight Banners, so he was not worried that Daishan would vent his anger on his head, but he was uneasy inside, fearing that Daishan would scold him and embarrass him too much.
While Sun Degong was only worried about being scolded and embarrassed and unable to step down, Zu Zerun Gesan and Zu Dacheng were extremely worried.
Of the eight outer cities, except Desheng Gate, which was broken by the Ming army, the five gates of Tianyou Gate, Neizhi Gate, Waixian Gate, Dizai Gate, and Fusheng Gate all surrendered without a fight. Fusheng Gate
The guard generals are Zu Kefa, the adopted son of Zu Dashou, and Zu Keyuan, the adopted son. The relationship between these two people and his ancestral family is not as close as usual. Zu Dashou also treated them as his own sons back then. Now these two people
The Ming army also surrendered, which made Zu Zerun and others worry that Daishan would doubt them. Even if Daishan did not doubt them and easily gave up the Fujinmen, the Huaiyuanmen could not be arrogant. The military law of Dajin was the most important.
, Zu Zerun and the others were very worried that Daishan would take action on them in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
To be honest, Zu Zerun actually regretted it after retreating to the inner city, thinking that he should have surrendered anyway. Although the court would investigate the fall of Daling River City and the murder of He Kegang, there should be no problem in saving his life. After all,
Their ancestral family has been operating in Liaodong for so many years, and the imperial court needs them if they want to guard the border. If they are worse, they must be given a chance to make meritorious deeds. Where it is like now, they are worried that they will be used as a sacrificial flag by the Manchurians.
Just as they were on tenterhooks, the thing they feared the most came - Daishan wanted to see them.
With a lot of worries, Zu Zerun and a group of generals went to see Daishan. When they knelt down to salute and waited for Daishan to comment on his fate, Daishan first helped Sun Degong, and then one by one.
He helped Zu Dacheng, Zu Zerun and others, and then told them sincerely that he thanked everyone for not abandoning Daijin when the outer city was lost, but choosing to defend the inner city together with the Eight Banners warriors. This loyalty will be remembered by Daishan.
In his heart, when the Great Khan's army returns and defeats the Ming army, he will definitely ask for credit from the Great Khan in recognition of your sincere devotion to the Great Jin.
After some words, Sun Degong, Zu Dacheng, Zu Zerun and others burst into tears. They kowtowed repeatedly and said that they would defend the inner city to the death, fight the Ming army to the end, and live and die with Dajin.
Daishan comforted the Han army with good words for a while, and then ordered Sun Degong to reorganize the Han army and gather all the Han soldiers who had fled into the inner city to form a separate army. He also asked people to bring a large sum of gold and silver from the palace to reward the Han army.
The generals also rewarded them one by one. Such actions naturally won the hearts of the Han generals and made them more determined in the correctness of their choice. Zu Zerun felt a little guilty, feeling ashamed that he had just had thoughts of regret, and his face turned red.
With a face on his face, he secretly determined to defend the inner city with the Eight Banners warriors, so that the Ming army would be bruised and bloody under the city wall, and they would be ashamed of themselves.[
