Chapter five hundred and fourteen: sitting on the ground to share the spoils
The news spread throughout Shengjing City. At the gate of Shengjing to Guannei, there were many Manchus. They only had one request, that is, to take their family out of the city immediately, go to Guannei, and seek relatives. No matter what the consequences would be caused if the Mongol cavalry caught up on this snowy field, everyone knows that if they want to survive, they must not stay in this damn city.
On this side, the crowds of people asked to open the city gate, while the Ximen Guard on the other side was indifferent and could only send the city to suppress it. However, there were nowhere to suppress it. More and more people had packed up their homes and had to leave the city. No matter what, the whole city was in chaos. In fact, this is no wonder these people. Everyone knows that the Chahars and the Japanese are more hateful than the Han people. The Han people may only kill the strong, and the rest will be sent to slaves at most. These Chahars and the Japanese people are cruel and ruthless. Once the city is broken, no one will want to survive. Under the control of the desire to survive, the crowd did not disperse, but gathered more and more.
"A bunch of idiots." The guards in Xicheng were about to get angry. These stupid people didn't know that leaving the city was to die, nor did they know that once the city gate was opened, the Mongol scouts would definitely send cavalry to the city and break the city in one fell swoop. No matter what, the city gate would never be opened. Otherwise, the people who were greedy and afraid of death would be killed. Everyone would suffer. The guard pulled out the sword on his waist, gritted his teeth and shouted at the city diary beside him: "If you dare to make trouble, you will be killed."
"Zhe." The city gangs were also furious. They were already scared, but in the face of these family members who were even more greedy and fearful, their fear turned into anger. The brothers took their lives to defend the city here. If you don't go to the city to help the war, you will make trouble here. Immediately someone began to show off their swords and guns, but after all, they didn't dare to slash a few times, and immediately injured a few people. The crowd gradually retreated a little.
"Kuyala, what are you? You dare to order a murderer. Okay, okay, if you have the ability, come and sting your master." Someone began to clamor. There were more than ordinary Manchus in Shengjing City, and there were no fewer high-ranking officials than in Beijing City. In fact, the more the larger the family or the higher the title of Manchus, the more they cherish their lives. These people are not easy to mess with, and they can't stop them even if they want to run away. Now the call is a first-class general who has the state. After the Manchus established their rule, they began to give titles. What princes and county princes are they?
, Beile, Beizi, Duke of Zhenguo, Duke of Auxiliary State, General Fengguo, Chief of Light Che, Chief of Cavalry, Chief of Yunqi, and Enqiwei, among them, in addition to the rank of the royal family, Manchus of other surnames are naturally the largest title of General Zhenguo. This man was thin and had a series of chariots and horses behind him. He was wearing a fox fur coat and stood up, looking at the city guards on the top of the city and did not dare to take him, just because the man had a blue belt tied around his waist.
Manchus said that this belt was extremely strict about the low management of clothing, and the emperor used bright yellow, and the royal family used golden yellow, and the titles of foreign surnames could only be worn blue. The lower-level officials were navy blue. If anyone dared to disobey the rules, it would be a death sentence. The thin man in front of him knew that he was not a simple person when he looked at the clothing. How could ordinary city directors dare to touch him?
The guard squinted his eyes and held the battlements to look at the general of the Fuguo State, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. This man was his master, Jiala of Zhenglan Banner, the master of the guard. Although this master had no official position, the title and status of Zhenglan Banner were enough to raise a whip in full view of the public and beat him on the spot. I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to let go of a fart. Otherwise, when he got to the master of Zhenglan Banner, he would have to whip hard or even keep his head. The Eight Banners committed the punishment of the slave to deceive the master was extremely severe. The guard still looked solemn just now, but at this time, he couldn't help but whip at the master under the city: "I haven't greeted my master for many days. How are you doing now?"
The original solemn scene suddenly started to clamor again. Everyone saw that the guard was a flowery air, so they naturally didn't take him seriously. Many people rushed towards the closed door opening. Seeing this, the general of the auxiliary country became even more arrogant: "When will it be better to have a slave like you? Open the city quickly and let people go, otherwise my whip would be blind."
The guard immediately became embarrassed, and the door would never open, but he dared not disobey the orders of the master. Otherwise, the guards in the public would be harsh and screamed with a whip. Wouldn't that be a joke?
In the face of crisis in the defense, a heavy voice suddenly sounded: "Send an order, if anyone dares to let someone go out by the city gate, behead him immediately; if anyone dares to cause trouble, he will behead him on the spot."
Everyone followed the sound. Only saw the alley behind the crowds. Prince Kang Jieshu, with anger on his face, led his horse over under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers. The guards above the city were relieved. The people under the city couldn't help but speechless. Prince Kang Jieshu, governor of Liaodong affairs, gave more power to kill and kill. Even if a Beizi was causing trouble here, he could do it on the spot, let alone a general of the auxiliary country.
Jieshu passed by. The crowd surrounded the city gate and immediately gave way to him. At this time, Di Jieshu's eyes were pitch black. Although he was middle-aged, he was already old these days. Even the braids on the back of his head were mixed.
White hair.
No one saw that Jieshu was trembling slightly by holding back the horse. He was too tired and too heartbroken. Now he was in a crisis. These monthly pay-paid people should have shared the same hatred of the enemy. He took up weapons like their ancestors to defend their existing interests. But what about these people? The court granted each of them a title of great and small, and gave them enough salary to support their families, and gave them all preferential treatment. But they were afraid of death. They were yelling here to leave the city.
"Prince." The first-class general of the State of Assistance recognized Prince Kang. He also had some relationships with his aunts and aunts. He did not often walk around. Now Prince Kang has returned to Liaodong. The State of Assistance General also met Jieshu several times. He relied on some relationships and slowly beat him up: "Hachako pays you a blessing. Prince. The Shengjing city is now in chaos. We cannot be in the formation and cannot be ridden. Staying here is a futile futility. The prince is trying to open the city gate and let us go out. It is also considered as the prince's helping us."
Prince Kang Jieshu looked back at the "Blue Belt" of the self-proclaimed Hachak. His eyes were mixed with pity and disgust. Everyone calmed down because Prince Kang, who had always been gentle, suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and rushed towards the "Blue Belt". Then the sword on his waist suddenly pulled out. In the heavy snow of the goose feathers, the tip of the knife drew half an arc in the air. Then he sneered off the head of the "Blue Belt" with a sneer. Then the prince raised his sword high under the awe-inspiring look of everyone: "Say it again. Those who intend to leave the city will kill you without mercy. Get out of here if you stay here again. Be careful of your head."
Everyone couldn't help but feel a stern, then the crowd began to loosen, and then many people began to sneak away. After that, more and more people walked away, and a scattered storm like a strong wind sweeping away leaves. Only a layer of trampled muddy snow left on the long streets leading to the city gate building.
Jieshu smiled bitterly and threw his sword, strangled his horse, and reiterated his order not to open the city. Then he hurried to Dongcheng, which was his last post. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The Chahars were stationed at seven or eight miles from Shengjing's headquarters. Their mission was to see the Manchus in the city and not allow anyone to escape. There was no movement. They immediately rode their horses to chase them. In the past few days, Ezhehan sent hundreds of scouts to monitor the city gates in Shengjing. There seemed to be no abnormal movement in the city. Two days later, the Japanese people all over the sky finally arrived. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was wearing a big man outside, and with a straw hat. A lot of snow had already accumulated on the straw hat. He didn't wear the general's armor. He made the thing with fine steel.
Even if you accidentally touch it this snowy day, it makes people feel cool, not to mention wearing this thing to show off. Anyway, for Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, this icing on the cake siege is not very challenging. The Manchus no longer have many war-capable soldiers, and in terms of firearms, the firearms are not as good as the Han people. In terms of cavalry and shooting skills, there are Chahars and theirs. The Japanese came here just to waving flags and shout. Of course, if the Ming army's thousand households agreed, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi would be happy to rush in and rob.
The last Ming army, Qianhu, came the latest. After all, even if hundreds of artillery dismantled from warships were pulled by horse, it was extremely difficult in the muddy snow. As a last resort, except for some Marines, Qianhu, and the sailors on the ship, he was not a senior officer. He was just a captain of Qianhu in the Beiyang Navy. Unfortunately, the entire Beiyang Navy went to Tianjin. He was responsible for providing supplies to the Japanese, so he stayed. He only had a large warship in his hand, and more than a dozen other merchant ships were recruited. This force was originally minimal, but the Ming army's warships have always been huge, and the number of artillery loads is often one or two hundred. In addition, some reserve artillery ships transported from the North Korean base, he had enough 300. In Liaodong, it is also extremely spectacular.
The three armies finally met under Shengjing City. Looking at the city of Shengjing City, almost everyone couldn't help but feel excited. What is this? This is one of the four capitals of Manchus, and it is the largest base of Manchus outside Beijing City. Manchus living here are probably only a lot more than Manchus in the entire Liaodong. Taking this place means Manchus was taken down in his hometown in Liaodong, especially the captain of the Ming army, which is logically speaking, no matter what, he did not have the chance to become one of the commanders to capture Shengjing, but this opportunity to remain in history fell on him.
"Surprise the city on the Japanese." After the three giants discussed for a while, they almost couldn't wait to come to this conclusion. The Chahars were eager to take revenge. The Japanese were greedy for the wealth that the Manchus had plundered in the past hundred years. However, the captain of the Ming army's Thousand Houses urgently needed merit. The three of them had the same idea and no longer needed to wait. In order to prevent the night from growing and dreaming, the city must be taken down as soon as possible.
"Master Qianhu, take it down: What can the Chahar people get after Beijing?" On the eve of the siege, Ezhehan finally couldn't help asking this question that had troubled him for several days. Revenge is of course important, but after paying a huge price, he also needed enough spoils to comfort his hard-working warriors.
I heard the question about my forehead sweat, but I never thought it was
Tokugawa Tsunagi Yoshi was full of hope and looked at this and kept dealing with him. For what? Isn't it just for silver? At least for Tokugawa Tsunagi, what he needs most is this. He must make money and change his embarrassing position now.
Qianhu spread his hands: "This matter is not something that the ministers can make the decision, and I'm afraid they have to wait for the imperial court's will."
It was strange that Chahar. The Japanese leaders respectfully called Qianhu the Lord, and Qianhu did not dare to be rude and always called himself a subordinate. This title really made many people confused and everyone got used to it. Instead, it was nothing strange. Qianhu spread his hands, and Ezekhan and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's hearts couldn't help but sink. At this moment, a guard outside the tent came to report that the envoy sent by Ezekhan to the detention area for some days. The envoy sent by the New First Emperor to be reborn, and he had already arrived outside the tent.
The three people in the tent were all very happy, especially Ezhe Khan. The Ming Dynasty sent a special envoy to mean that Arislan's mission might not be a return. With the Ming Dynasty's letter, once an alliance was concluded, the Chahar tribe had the capital to challenge the Junggar tribe in this place outside the pass. Although it may not be beneficial in the short term, in the long run, Ezhe Khan's ambition to conquer the grasslands was extremely beneficial.
"Quickly, please come in."

After Arislan bid farewell to Jun, he first deleted the content of the letter of the country with several Ming ministers who accompanied the army in Fengyang. Then Zhu Jun sent an envoy to accompany Arislan out of seclusion and continued to discuss some terms with Ezhe Khan. When Arislan entered the pass, he spent nearly a month, but he did not spend much time leaving the pass. The Ming army specially sent a warship to send them to North Korea. Then the North Koreans heard the movements of the Chahar tribe. Then the warship set sail again, landed in the waters of Liaodong and sent a 500-man musketeer to protect it. At this time, the Manchus themselves were unable to protect themselves, so they would not even bother to send scouts to patrol everywhere. The whole group of people were safe and safe. After a few days, they finally arrived here.
The special envoy who came with Arislan was Kang Chengdong. He was not an official of the Ministry of Rites, but a graduate of the diplomatic department of the Royal Academy who followed the army to observe politics. This person is eloquent, well-versed in current affairs, knows many diplomatic skills, and is familiar with Mongolian language. He has been regarded by the Ministry of Rites. After planning to observe politics, he immediately transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Zhu Jun read his resume. At that time, there were no officials from the Ministry of Rites to accompany him. After meeting Kang Chengdong, he felt that although this person was still in a bookish face, it should be more than enough to go to meet Ezhekhan. Anyway, this matter is not troublesome. Ezhekhan obviously wanted to do something for the Ming Dynasty. What Kang Chengdong had to do was just to show the firm position of the Ming court on some positions, so he accepted the imperial edict and arrived in Liaodong.
After a while, Arislan and Kang Chengdong came in side by side. The Ming army Qianhu, who was originally sitting side by side with Ezhekhan and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, immediately stood up and bowed to Kang Chengdong. Although Kang Chengdong is not of grade now, he represents the emperor now, so Qianhu naturally dares not neglect it.
At this time, Kang Chengdong could only talk directly with Ezhehan. After getting to know each other, he fell down and Ezhehan felt a little more upset in his heart and took the opportunity to say, "Super Envoy comes from afar, and there is something here that needs to be solved by the Special Envoy."
The household cannot make a decision. As the special envoy of the Ming Emperor, he should be able to decide on the distribution of interests. With this idea, Ezhehan asked about what happened just now.
Regarding this question, Cheng Dong looked solemn, and then slowly said: "Although Shengjing is the capital of the Tartars, the emperor understood the meaning of it. Naturally, it was impossible to rob. After conquering Shengjing, the gold and silver in the warehouses in the city could be divided equally by the Ming Dynasty and Chahar."
When Kang Sei-dong arrived here, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's face immediately pulled down. The Han people and the Chahar people equally divided? What does this mean? Speaking of which, the Japanese people who contributed the most this time were the Japanese. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi almost used the national strength to make cannon fodder for the Han people, but when they fell to the ground to share the spoils, the Han envoy told him that the Japanese were not at all. Although Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was not very popular, he couldn't help but turn against him at this time. He even wanted to kill the Han envoy immediately. As for the consequences, let's talk about it later.
Kang Chengdong was very calm and looked back at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi: "The Japanese are of course also made contributions. I, the Ming Dynasty, will definitely give you your benefits, so I will press them first and not mention them."
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi then suppressed his anger and wanted to see what this Han envoy had to say.
Ezhehan agreed with this decision very much. He lost a Japanese man who divided the spoils in vain, and added five more. As the Chahar tribe, it was naturally cost-effective. He nodded immediately and said, "This method is good. What we believe most on the grassland is fairness. The special envoy's method is very convincing."
