Chapter 640
"Master Baylor knows that you dog slaves are unreliable. Why do you think we can't get in if you lock them up?"
"Master Tong! We are all loyal to Lord Beile, we are all loyal to Lord Beile! You are great, please let us live. You can do whatever you want." The middle-aged woman hurriedly knelt down on the ground.
"You can really do whatever you want?" Mr. Tong smiled and looked at the little nurse. The little nurse was dressed in a nurse's uniform, which could arouse the greed of men.
"It's done! It's done!" The middle-aged woman jumped up and tore open the little nurse's clothes with a "stab" sound, revealing her plump breasts.
"My niece is still a yellow-flowered girl. Look how white her body is, like a big white steamed bun."
"That's not bad! It's a pity that I want your lives." As soon as he finished speaking, a flying knife had already been inserted into the little nurse's heart.
"Ah...!" The middle-aged woman screamed in agony, and her neck was scratched by a sharp dagger. Blood spurted out, and thousands of peach blossoms bloomed on the snow-white wall.
Master Tong took two steps, grabbed the little nurse's long black hair, and forced the little nurse to expose her swan-like snow-white neck. The blade of the knife slashed across her neck, as if killing a chicken, but unfortunately not much blood spurted out.
"Betray Lord Beile, this is the consequences. Humph!" He wiped the dagger twice on the shaking body, then turned around and left the house that smelled strongly of blood.
"Everything has been dealt with?" Hearing the half scream, Dorgon had already guessed what was going on.
"Master Baylor knows things like a god, and that little girl is planning to betray you. I will take action and kill them both." Master Tong bowed his body like a bear, not even daring to raise his head in front of Dorgon.
.
"Actually, it's no wonder they live in such a house, have such food, and enjoy these things that I have never seen before. Who would want to live a hard life with us. I have to say that Li Xiao and the others have done a good job in the Ming Dynasty."
Dorgon put his hand on the radiator and looked at the streets with twinkling street lights below. This time he came to the capital, he felt too much emotion.
"Master Beile! As long as we defeat the Liao soldiers, we can call the shots here. Everything now belongs to you, Lord Beile."
"Haha! You old guy, you are getting better and better at talking. What a pity! This time when we come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I am less and less optimistic that we can win. We all know how many pounds the Mongols have, while the Ming Dynasty is not
It’s changing with each passing day.
Look at the brightly lit places over there. They are all factories. I heard that there is a machine that can produce thousands of feet of fine cotton every day. Thousands of feet of cotton are hard currency on the grassland. Look at that Liao soldier.
, what he is wearing is a denim coat!
This material was spun from wool on the grasslands, and they actually distributed one to each of the soldiers. This shows how materially wealthy they were.
And our road from Guanzhong to Beijing is a flat cement road. The road is wide enough to pass eight large vehicles side by side. There is also a railway to Shanxi. From Taiyuan to Beijing, it is a full mile. Sleep at night
Stay overnight and arrive the next morning.
If the railway is built to Yinchuan, things sent from the capital will reach the front line in three to five days at most. But what about us? How far is it from the Ili Valley to Yinchuan? Food! Drink! It's easy to talk about, and you can snatch it from the Han people. But
What to do with the bullets? What to do with the artillery shells? In the past, when we fought wars, we often had the advantage and could not defeat them. Why? There are only so many artillery shells. They were used very hard at the beginning, but they were gone if we couldn't support them later.
So! In this life, I'm afraid we won't be able to occupy this capital city. We won't be able to live in this clean high-rise building in this life." Dorgon sat on the sofa, looking a little lonely at the clean and tidy house.
"Master Beile! Don't say that. The Han people are cowardly and not good at fighting. In the past, we suffered from the disadvantage of weapons. The Mongols were not good, but it does not mean that we Jurchens are not good either. If our Eight Banners had the equipment we have now, we would have defeated Li Xiao long ago.
.”
"Yes! It's a pity that we didn't have it at that time."
Thinking of the mighty Eight Banners Army back then, Dorgon felt even more lonely. How come the Eight Banners soldiers didn't have these good weapons back then! Even when Nurhaci was around, he scorned the Ming Army's firearms. He believed that as long as the Eight Banners soldiers were brave enough, they could defeat any enemy.
The two yellow flags that were so fierce back then, the white-armored Bajra and the red-armored Bajra that were said to be invincible in the world, have now been wiped out, and only the remnants of the Eight Banners are left to survive in Lushun.
Even the insiders he had worked hard to cultivate over the years had betrayed him, not to mention the Han people he had bribed. Dorgon felt that it was time to leave the capital. After all, he had seen everything he wanted to see and what he wanted to learn, he could not learn.
"Find a way, buy a train ticket to Taiyuan, and let's get out of here." Dorgon knew that if the nurse didn't go to work, someone would definitely look for her. At this time, a missing nurse in the hospital would definitely arouse people's suspicion.
Having worked with Li Yongfang for many years, Dorgon knew Li Yongfang's abilities very well. As long as the old fox smelled the slightest scent, he would follow the scent.
"Master Baylor! Are we really going to miss such a good opportunity like this?" Master Tong looked at Dorgon with some confusion.
"We have stayed too long. If Li Yongfang catches his scent, none of us will be able to go back."
"Master Beile! As long as Li Xiao dies now, the Ming Dynasty will immediately fall apart. Their division commanders are not convinced by each other, and the scholars in the country do not support Li Xiao. If Li Xiao dies at this time, Jiangnan will start to make trouble first, and then
It will quickly sweep across the country. By then, as long as we break through the Gansu defense line, we will be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.
This prosperous city in front of us will also be our Jurchen. Master Beile, this opportunity cannot be missed!" Master Tong seemed very unwilling to miss this opportunity. It will be difficult to find it again.
"Your Tong family has been married to us since our Aixinjueluo family was in Jianzhou. Speaking of which, I have to call you uncle. I really don't want you to die here!
Don't talk about going to the hospital. If you go for a walk on the street now, how many people will come to check you. How can you take advantage of Li Xiao if you can't even get on the street? I'm sure that the hospital must be heavily fortified now. Everyone thinks
Anyone who tries to enter will be shot mercilessly. I don’t want your head to be hung on the city wall waiting to dry tomorrow!”
Dorgon looked at Master Tong. Although he admitted that he was a two-faced person, this time he was definitely sincere.
"Master Beile! In order for our Jurchens to prosper again, I am willing to stay and assassinate Li Xiao. You are a rich man, and you must not take this risk. You will leave Tongzhou tomorrow morning, and your subordinates will look for opportunities to attack." Master Tong still refused.
I plan to let this opportunity pass.
"Well, since you insist on doing this, I have nothing to say." Dorgon nodded, agreeing with Master Tong's idea.
************************************************************************ **********

The altar was set up again in the hospital. The difference this time was that Zhang Daoling found a big rooster and kept circling around the rooster while reciting incantations. The strange thing was that the big rooster didn't understand either and just stood on the table.
Watching Zhang Daoling circling around it at lightning speed.
Sun Chengzong does not believe in this stuff, but he also believes that this is the best spiritual sustenance. For people who are anxious, this thing seems to have the effect of stabilizing people's hearts. At least temporarily!
Sun Chengzong keenly felt that Li Xiu and Ao Canghai were on the verge of going berserk. These two guys were murderous lunatics on the battlefield, and they would kill people if they went mad. I hope this ritual can calm them down.
Finally, the ritual was completed. The big rooster screamed "oh", "oh" and "oh". Zhang Daoling was covered in sweat, and even his robe was soaked through. Whoever said he didn't work hard must be telling lies with his eyes open.
Some things are just so fantastical. Not long after Zhang Daoling finished his ritual, the tired Li Zhongzi and Tang Ruowang also walked out. The two of them walked in vain. When they saw the eager eyes of the people at the door, they just nodded.
As if he didn't understand what they meant, Li Xiu rushed over and asked, "Is my elder brother okay?"
"The commander's body temperature has dropped, and we need to observe him slowly. If the high fever no longer persists, it will be fine. All that's left is to slowly regain his strength and rest!" Li Zhongzi was weak when he spoke, and it was obvious that he and Zhang Daoling were talking.
No less effort.
As for Tang Ruowang, he didn't even want to say anything. With the help of a nurse, he walked along the corridor to his office.
"Brother is fine, big brother is fine!" Li Xiu was as happy as a child, dancing around in the hospital.
Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief. He was so tired that he could hardly stand. After all, he was nearly seventy years old. Worrying all night long took a huge toll on his physical strength.
Look, the glass windows outside are still dark, but the morning star is already hanging high in the sky.
"Can we go in to see big brother?" Li Hu asked eagerly.
"No! The commander needs to be observed for the time being. Outsiders are not allowed to see." Li Zhongzi immediately shook his head and objected. He finally rescued him, but he didn't want anything else to happen.
"Since Mr. Li has said that no visits are allowed, then no visits are allowed and everything will be left to Mr. Li. Everyone is tired after a night, so we should go back and rest first. Ao Canghai, Brother Xiao is fine now. You should go back to Jiangnan as soon as possible.
Solve the matter!" Among them, the one who spoke with the most authority was Sun Chengzong.
Only if Sun Chengzong spoke, Ao Canghai and Li Xiu, two men with military power, would be convinced. If Zhang Huangyan stood up and said this at this time, they probably wouldn't even give him a thumbs up.
Ao Canghai took a look inside and said, "No! I'm going back to Jiangnan right now!" He patted Li Xiu on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the door of the hospital.
"Let someone arrange a few rooms for everyone to live here. The food will be prepared later. Yanrong, you and Xiaohong take the third child back to the ward. Standing here is not good for his recovery. The fourth child, you send Zhang Daochang
Go back. The Li family will surely be well rewarded for what happened today." Seeing Ao Canghai gone, Li Xiu also began to make arrangements for his younger brothers and sisters.
"Second brother! I'll wait here for the eldest brother to come out." Li Hu stubbornly refused to move.
"Don't wait! You won't be able to see me here. When my brother gets well and can see people, I will be the first to send someone to pick you up. How about that?"
"Okay!" Li Hu nodded. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't see Li Xiao if he waited here.
Obedient Li Hao had already found two soldiers to carry Zhang Daoling out. This veteran seemed to be very resistant to the hospital and was unwilling to live in the hospital.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoyu sat quietly on the chair in the corridor and looked at the door of the ward. She didn't speak or cry. She just sat there quietly. Li Xiu wanted to persuade but he didn't want to. He wanted to say
I don’t dare to say it. This girl seems to be out of her mind ever since the incident with Xiao Yu. She hasn’t talked to brothers Li Xiao and Li Xiu for a long time, and now Li Xiu doesn’t dare to provoke him.
Li Hao, who had the best relationship with Xiaoyu, was sent to see off Zhang Daoling. Li Xiu had a terrible headache for this sister.
"Xiaoyu! Go there with your sister-in-law to rest. Your eldest brother is fine. When he can see people, I will take you to see him. Although your eldest brother looks cold on his face, he is warm in his heart. Among the younger brothers and sisters, you
Big brother loves you the most." Tokugawa Chiki walked over and pulled Xiaoyu up.
To Li Xiu's expectation, Xiaoyu actually stood up and let Tokugawa Chiki pull her away. This thing was so strange that Li Xiu watched them enter the room without hesitation.
"That's good! That's good! Li Xiu, you go and have a rest too, I'm back." Sun Chengzong patted Li Xiu's shoulder and expressed approval. Sun Zhijie hurried over to help his grandfather, and he and his grandson also walked towards the door of the hospital.
In a short time, all the people in the huge corridor were gone. Only Li Xiu was left, standing alone at the door of the ward.
"Second Master! It's morning now. Mr. Fu Yin asked if the curfew should continue." Li Dingguo came over and asked Li Xiu carefully.
"The curfew does not need to continue, but this courtyard must be strictly sealed off. No one is allowed in or out except hospital staff. If anyone makes trouble, they will be killed without mercy!"
"No!" Li Dingguo went out and conveyed Li Xiu's words to Yin Jishan, the governor.
Yin Jishan was in a state of anxiety. He didn't dare to offend the Li family. He also heard that Li Xiao was seriously ill. It was already evening anyway, and the curfew lasted one night. In the middle of the night in the winter, who was still walking on the street without any problem?
Now that Li Xiu said that the curfew was cancelled, he was really relieved. He knew how destructive the curfew was to a city. It could only take one or two days, but if it lasted for a long time, it would kill people.
Just an hour after Li Xiu lifted the curfew, Dorgon, wearing a blue robe, turned back and took one last look at Tongzhou. He boarded the carriage and ran all the way to the train station.
Not long after Dorgon left, a man came out with a broom in his hand and wearing orange clothes with two big white characters on his back: Sanitation!
