Chapter 343 Emergency Response

First one, then second, third...

These Han people all ran towards the Ming army excitedly, hoping to get the protection of this Ming army, at least to bring them back, so that they would no longer be oppressed by the Jianlu.

However, before they ran close, they were stopped by the soldiers on the periphery.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"Don't come here, or you will crash into the army and die!"

"..."

When these Han people heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then immediately came to their senses, stopped quickly and defended themselves: "This military lord, we are not Tatars, we are Han people!"

"Yes, you can hear it from our accent. Our money rat tail was forced to be shaved by Jianlu. We are not Jianlu!"

"..."

In fact, when the Ming army saw them being guarded and working in the fields, they knew that they must be Han Chinese, and there was a high possibility that they were Han Chinese who were looted from the pass.After all, if the Han people in Liaodong did not die, if they hadn't become Ming soldiers, they would have almost become Tartar soldiers and would not work in the fields.

Therefore, when they heard these people's excuses, they all shouted impatiently: "No matter who you are, anyone who rushes into the army will be killed on the spot!"

"Who knows if there are real Tatars among you? What if I let you go and turn around and kill people?"

"Yes, it would be good if I don't kill you to take credit. Get away!"

"..."

After all, let these Han people fend for themselves, and don't get close to them.

Zu Dashou sat resting in the middle of the army, turned his head and glanced this way, just a glance, then turned back, no reason!

However, these Han people were already desperate.Now that they finally saw the Ming army suddenly appearing near Haizhou, they didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they still refused to leave, still begging there, and some even knelt down to beg these Ming troops.

"That general, I'm from Yongping Mansion in Guan Nei, take us back!"

"My lord general, I am from Jinan Prefecture, take it with us, and kowtow to you!"

"..."

When these people saw the Ming army that they had not seen for a long time, it was as if they were grasping the last straw, and how could they let go easily.

However, their families are already ruined, and they are slaves and maids in Liaodong. They are the lowest-level existence, so naturally they don't have any money or valuable things.There is no way to use money to increase one's bargaining chip, the only thing you can have is kowtow.

Therefore, all of a sudden, all the Han people who came over kowtowed, and they could even hear a "dong dong" sound.Their foreheads were covered with dirt.Several of them were bleeding.However, even so, they did not stop, hoping that for the sake of their kowtows, the Ming army general could take them back and escape the sea of ​​suffering.

Most of the ancestral army are Han people in Liaodong.In fact, they have tried their best to live and die, and they were already bearish.But seeing the behavior of these Han people at this time, some were silent, and some turned their heads to look at Zu Dashou to see if he would let go.

However, Zu Dashou didn't take a look here at all, as if he didn't know what happened here.Therefore, these soldiers of the Ming army had no choice but to continue to block them, and pretended not to see them.

"Report..." A few people came galloping at night, and the leader shouted to Zu Dashou, "Marshal, there are signs of troop deployment at the top of Haizhou City, and it is very likely that Jianlu is about to leave the city!"

Zu Dashou, who seemed to be deaf to what was going on outside the window just now, immediately stood up when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Pass down the commander's order, turn back to Tashan immediately!"

After speaking, he himself was the first to get on the horse.

After hearing this, the other soldiers of the Ming Army also got on their horses and prepared to flee.

Seeing their actions, those Han people could not help but despair.Some were still kowtowing numbly, hoping to let the Ming army see their sincerity; however, most of them stopped kowtowing, their faces covered with mud, full of despair, and staring blankly at this Zhi Ming Army.

Until then, Zu Dashou on the horse seemed to have discovered these Han people, and said from a distance: "How can I take you with me when I am marching and fighting? If you are sincere, you can flee back to Ningjin by yourself. Or , you can also escape to Lushun, where there are also imperial troops."

After finishing speaking, he drove his horse and swung his whip, and galloped away.

When some soldiers of the Ming Army heard what Zu Dashou said, they originally wanted to say that they could take one each, or they could all be taken away.Anyway, this time we come out, it’s not like we really have to fight.

But Zu Dashou didn't give others a chance at all, and rode away directly after speaking.

When the soldiers of the Ming army saw them, they had no choice but to drive their horses to keep up, and drove off one after another.

Watching them go away, some of these Han people kneeling on the ground sighed and stood up helplessly.However, more people were kneeling there, staring blankly at Ming Jun's back, motionless, and some of them could not hold back their tears of despair, streaming down their cheeks.

And the few Han people who were still kowtowing, seemed to be unaware that the Ming army had left, and were still kowtowing there.In fact, a thousand cavalry troops drove away with their horses and whips. This was a big movement, and it was impossible for them not to know.However, they are still knocking, but their hearts are full of despair.

At this moment, they are abandoned, no one makes decisions for them, no one reaches out to them.After Zu Dashou led the army away, the lonely group of people stayed in the fields, all with numb expressions.Not far away, the Jianlu Cavalry was already galloping towards them, and they had no chance to escape.Once you escape, you will be tortured to death if you are caught!
This kind of thing will be somewhat outrageous to the people of later generations; as an official of the imperial court, how can he not care about the suffering people!However, for Zu Dashou, this kind of thing should not be too normal.In the previous battle of Daling River, when they were surrounded and did not eat, they even ate human flesh.He also tied his own robe, He Kegang, and dedicated it to Huang Taiji to show his sincerity in surrender.

In short, in this world, everything is for survival and for oneself to live well. This is the principle of Zu Dashou, or a considerable number of people.

At this time, Zu Dashou had no psychological burden and galloped back. The purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, and he just went back to Tashan.

As he expected, this time the expedition seemed to go smoothly, the rendezvous infantry was fine, and the retreat was fine.Seeing that he would be able to reach Tashan in another day, Zu Dashou finally let go of the last bit of worry hanging in his heart.

Early the next morning, after Zu Dashou got up, he was burying the pot to make a meal, and was about to set off after eating, but he didn't expect that one night he would gallop up and report to him in a panic: "The commander-in-chief is not good, Tashan was besieged by Jianlu , The specific situation of the battle is unknown, and the Jianlu explored the horse and blocked it."

With a "clang", the bowl in Zu Dashou's hand couldn't be held and fell to the ground. However, he didn't care about the bowl. Instead, he stood up immediately, looked at the complainant Ye Bushou and asked: "What are you doing?" Why did Jianlu's food suddenly appear?"

When he said this, he already understood that the Jianlu who besieged Tashan probably came from the grassland, so he didn't bump into it.So, he immediately asked again: "How many people are there, let's find out!"

"Obey!" Naye Bushuo responded immediately, and then flew away again.

Seeing the figure of Ye Bushou going away, Zu Dashou was a little irritable, and he didn't come out at all, but after coming out this time, why did he encounter such unlucky things, Jianlu just came to attack Tashan?
"Brother, didn't you say that there is a war going on over there in Lushun, and Jianlu won't make enemies on both sides?" Zu Dacheng's face didn't look good either, and he came over to ask Zu Dashou.

Hearing this, Zu Dashou nodded and said, "As far as Jianlu's property is concerned, since the war has already started in Lushun, logically speaking, it should be impossible to fight us Ning Jin again! The previous two letters, no It is the proof..."

"Brother, could it be the Battle of Lushun? It's actually very small, right?" Zu Dacheng guessed.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou frowned and shook his head, saying: "No, the governor of Baoding is here, and the scale of the war will definitely not be small. But why can the Jianlu fight on both sides, without worrying about the loss of food and grass? Could it be... Does Jianlu have enough food reserves?"

"Impossible, we can probably guess what the grain and grass of Jianlu are." Zu Dacheng denied his brother's opinion, "If it weren't for this certainty, we wouldn't have come out! But during this time, we didn't Seeing Jianlu go to the pass to plunder, logically speaking, there is no new food and grass..."

Hearing this, Zu Dashou suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and said decisively: "We missed North Korea. The Jianlu must have obtained a lot of food from North Korea, so they are not afraid of a war on both sides."

You know, whether it is the battle of Lushun or the battle on Tashan, it is impossible to get a lot of food and supplies after winning.It can be said that the consumption of food and grass in these two places is certain.

Thinking about it this way, Zu Dashou became very worried, because he felt that since Jianlu came to attack Tashan again, the scale would definitely not be small, and maybe he came after he was well prepared.Tashan is in danger!

Having reached this conclusion, Zu Dashou couldn't help but panicked, and immediately dispatched Ye Bu Received to issue a death order to inquire clearly about the battle situation in Tashan.Then, still worried, he sent Yebushou to go around Tashan and go to Jinzhou for help.

At this time, in Tashan, the battle was raging.

Jianlu commander Jierhalang personally sits in town, leading Duoduo to besiege Tashan.In addition, Azig was sent by him to be stationed on the road leading to Jinzhou, so as not to let the news spread back to Jinzhou.

"It's really strange. After fighting for two days, Zu Dashou didn't show up!" Jierhalang said doubtfully while fighting outside the city, "Could it be because he was sick or was transferred away from Tashan by the Ming Kingdom? "

When Duoduo heard this, he also frowned and said, "I feel that there are a lot fewer defenders in the city this time than when they came last time. Maybe Zu Dashou is really not in the city."

Ji Erhalang nodded and said: "Indeed, I originally thought that this crusade against Tashan was to teach Zu Dashou a hard lesson and let him understand that the Qing Dynasty is not something he can play casually. However, judging from the current battle situation Look, it is really a surprise to be able to take down Tashan in one day!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Duoduo immediately shouted loudly when he heard it: "Any enemy, against the Qing Dynasty, should follow me and prosper and oppose me and perish! I have long disliked this Zu Dashou, This time is just an opportunity to solve it once and for all, and in the future, the defense line of the Ming army in Ningjin may be exposed due to the lack of elite troops!"

When he said this, Jierharang couldn't help but look at him more, but he didn't express any dissatisfaction, but said with a little regret: "It's just that in this battle, even if you go back and fight down Tashan, you can't capture Zu Dashou. Pity."

As he was saying this, suddenly a scout horse galloped over and reported to Jierhalang that it was found that the Ming army was not taking in at night in the rear of the army, and there seemed to be a lot of them.

Hearing this, Doduo became agitated immediately, and immediately said decisively to Jierhalang: "There must be Ming troops over there, maybe Zu Dashou led the troops out. Well, he actually despises me so much, Daqing, Is this the leader coveting Haizhou?"

Jierhalang was a steady person, and he didn't come to a conclusion right away, but immediately asked Tanma a lot of details, and only when he learned that the Ye Bushou encountered by Tanma was well-equipped and was indeed an elite of the Ming army, he agreed with Duoduo I feel like he's right.

They were very excited to get this conclusion.Usually Zu Dashou hid in the tortoise shell, and they couldn't do anything to him.But now, he actually ran out by himself, he really deserved his death!
Thinking of this, Jierhalang immediately sent Duoduo to lead his troops, no matter whether there were really soldiers led by Zu Dashou behind him, he searched back.

Not far away, the scouting horse reported back, indicating that the army was still increasing at night.This made Duduo feel as excited as chicken blood. He immediately ordered his men and horses from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and his own cavalry to take the lead in pursuit.The infantry followed behind and could not let go of a single Ming soldier.

Soon after, Zu Dashou's side, the situation of not accepting rewards at night became more and more serious, which made Zu Dashou very regretful, and should not have come out this trip.

But there was no point regretting it at this point, and we had to immediately discuss a way to escape.

"Brother, you must not fall into the hands of Jianlu." Zu Dacheng immediately persuaded Zu Dashou, "I will stay and lead the infantry to block the attack. When I can't stop it, the worst is to surrender. You have to run away, little brother. I will be safe, and when I get to Jianlu, I can continue to be an official like my nephew."

When Zu Dashou heard this, he glanced at Zu Dacheng, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, nodded and said: "Okay, then do this. Remember, don't resist too fiercely, if there are a lot of Jianlu casualties, maybe you will become angry from embarrassment of."

"I understand!" Zu Dacheng nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, you go!"

Zu Dashou did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the cavalry to assemble, got on the horseback, reined in again, turned the horse's head and explained to Zu Dacheng: "You can tell them that I have unavoidable difficulties. The emperor oppressed me, and the new Governor-General Urging, I had no choice but to come out, and I only came to Haizhou for a trip, without touching anything in Haizhou. This is my heart, tell Huang Taiji to listen!"

　I caught a cold yesterday, and this morning I learned that three colleagues around me had been found to have influenza B, so they spent the morning in the hospital.But I didn’t find out. I was very tired, so I kept sleeping. I started to have a fever in the afternoon. Now it’s over 38 degrees.
