I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 525 Zach’s Persuasion to Surrender

This answer is not unexpected.

It's just that it's one thing to hear it, but it's another thing to hear it from someone who has experienced it.

When everyone heard that Jianlu actually wanted to execute all the grains below Wu Dou Valley, they immediately gritted their teeth and secretly thought that Nurhachi was not a son of a man, and he actually thought of such a vicious thing.

"Now that our army is approaching, Nurhaci still dares to do this. He really doesn't take our army into consideration."

When Chen Liangbi heard these words, he was secretly surprised that Nurhaci was so vicious.

"Your Majesty the Governor is aware that Jianlu is now a tinderbox. Food is scarce and people's hearts are unstable. There were rumors before that food was only enough to last until April. Coupled with successive defeats, the Jurchen Eight Banners' dissatisfaction became more and more intense. Therefore, That’s why he thought about attacking me and other Liao people.”

When Liu Xingzuo's cronies heard this, they immediately explained to Chen Liangbi.Now that they have left Sarhu, they absolutely do not want to go back.

And while he was talking, he couldn't help but think of the tragic conditions of many Liao people he saw on the way here. Thinking of this, he suddenly said excitedly:

"The old slave was wary of us. We were originally ordered not to go out in the Jiefan camp. Thanks to the imperial army stationed in Lushun, we had the chance to come out.

But after leaving the Jiefan camp, the Liao people were in extremely miserable conditions along the way. Most of the Liao villages below Sarhu were looted and burned by the Jurchens. It would be no exaggeration to say that corpses were everywhere.Most of the soldiers in our Han army will be very angry with the captives. We hope that the imperial army will conquer Fushun as soon as possible and save the Liao people from disaster. "

After saying this, the man immediately kowtowed to Chen Liangbi and asked Chen Liangbi to send troops as soon as possible without further delay.

"Get up, Jianlu is so mad, how could the imperial court ignore him? I will send someone to follow you back to Fushun City later, and we will discuss how to act."

"Understandable."

The soldier nodded immediately. This kind of matter involves a lot of things. A small guy like him can only communicate through letters. He has no ability to discuss how to do big things.

When Chen Liangbi saw this, he asked everyone to retreat. He had already thought about the people he wanted to send. He immediately looked towards Heshun, who immediately nodded in understanding.

The evening of March [-]th.

"Qi Gushan Ezhen, our army will arrange for people to install all the artillery on the city wall tonight. We will not let the Ming army invade us again."

In the Fushun garrison, Li Yongfang was taking Chen Liangce and others to report intelligence to Mang Gurtai.

He had long been prepared for a hard fight, but as soon as he entered Fushun City and asked about the situation, he suddenly felt that this battle was not easy to fight.

The artillery of the Ming army was far superior to that of the past in terms of power and quantity.The twenty artillery pieces they installed were just a drop in the bucket.Not to mention that their artillery is just a slightly larger Fran cannon, which is incomparable to that of the Ming army.

"Well, you have been working hard these past few days. The Ming army has pulled out all the fortresses on the south bank of the Hun River. Starting tomorrow, they will start to attack the city."

Mang Gurtai looked very tired now. The continuous bombardment by the Ming army not only exhausted him physically and mentally, but also caused heavy losses to his Zhenglan Banner soldiers and horses.

From the very beginning, it was attacked by the Ming army, and then troops were stationed behind to defend the fortress outside the city.In just four days, more than a thousand people were killed and injured in Zhenglan Banner. How could he not feel distressed.

Now that he saw the Han army and the people with red flags arriving, he was really relieved.

Immediately let the Han army change defenses with the people with the red flag, so that the people with the blue flag could take a rest.

"When you left, did the Khan say how many days would it take for the reinforcements from the Two Yellow Flags and the True Red Flag to arrive?"

Compared with Mang Gurtai, Tunbulu and others are even more sober.

The Ming army actually allowed the Han army to enter the city, making it clear that they were not afraid of these people.In his opinion, instead of relying on the Han army and others, it is better to rely on Khan's reinforcements.

Li Yongfang hesitated for a while after hearing this, and then said slowly:
"The Khan is also mobilizing the army to assemble. It will probably take about four or five days."

"Four or five days? The Ming army has already arrived at the city. I am afraid they will attack the city tomorrow. After five days, Fushun will be in danger."

When Tunbulu and others heard this, they immediately became excited.He felt a sense of despair when he saw the Ming army attacking the city in the past few days. It was very easy for the Ming army to pull out the fortress outside the city in the past few days. At that time, he still had some illusions in his heart, thinking about what he would do when the Han army arrived. Artillery can compete with the Ming army.

But I didn't expect to find out when I came in that the artillery of the Han army was not at the same level as the Ming army. The confidence in defending the city was shaken a lot.I thought that if I waited another four or five days, Fushun would definitely be breached.

"Okay, let's go and write to the Khan again. I don't believe that he will not save you until he dies."

Seeing that Tunbulu and others were getting more and more excited, Mang Gurtai immediately waved his hand to stop them. Now is not the time to quarrel.Tunbulu and others saw that Mang Gurtai was like this, so they had no choice but to give up.

After the discussion was over, Tunbulu left the garrison mansion and immediately looked up at the sky. He saw only a few stars and a bright moon hanging in the sky.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and then returned to the mansion without saying anything.But as soon as he returned, he was immediately rewarded by Bao Yi. "Master, someone from the Han army wants to see you, and they have been waiting for a long time."

Tunbulu was secretly surprised when he heard this. Didn't he and Li Yongfang just discuss things? Is there anything else that needs to be discussed with him?

"Are these people saying anything?"

"There were three of them in total. They didn't say anything. They just said they were old acquaintances with the master."

"Then let them come in. You can watch from the outside and don't let other people disturb you."

Tunbulu suppressed his curiosity and waved his hand to let them in.After a while, a man wearing blue casual clothes with a money rat-tail whip on his head walked in, followed by two servants.

"Chen Liangce, the commander of the artillery of the Han army, met Jia La E Zhen."

Tunbulu squinted his eyes and stared at Chen Liangce, seemingly trying to see Chen Liangce's true appearance.

"I don't remember any contact with the Han Army people, and I don't know you. Why do you come to me?"

Seeing Tunbulu's attitude, Chen Liangce was not angry at all. Instead, he took a few steps forward and cupped his hands and said:

"Of course you don't know me. Today, I came here because I was entrusted by someone to introduce you to an old friend and give you a hand."

Seeing Chen Liangce speak so straightforwardly, Tunbulu became more doubtful and immediately said angrily:
"Hmph! What an old friend, why do you want to help me? It's really ridiculous that you Han soldiers want to help me when you can't protect yourself. When you go up to the city wall tomorrow and see how powerful the Ming army's artillery fire is, you won't That’s what I would say.”

"Haha, what the adults said coincides with what the little one said. The little one is the commander of the artillery of the Han army. Not only the adults know how strong the artillery fire of the Ming army is, but the little one knows it best. Because of this, I just want to introduce an old friend to you and help you."

After Chen Liangce finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tunbulu's reaction, but waved his hand directly. He saw a person behind him step forward, pull down his hood, and look at Tunbulu with a half-smile.

"Tunbulu, long time no see!"

"Zach!"

Tunbulu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately drew his knife and pointed it at Zach, with anger in his eyes.

"You, a traitor, still have the nerve to come back. When Sanbeile was imprisoned at home, you ridiculed me, Zhenglan Banner. In the end, you surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, causing Daishan's defeat, Zhenghongqi's strength was greatly damaged, and Daishan hated you so much. Itchy, now that you are back, I will send you back to Salhu and let Daishan deal with you well."

Seeing Tunbulu's words, Zach didn't care.

He still vaguely remembered how he followed the Zhenghongqi people and ridiculed Tunbulu when he heard that Mang Gurtai was imprisoned at home.But this was also the reason why he sought out Tunbulu.

"Dai Shan hates me, doesn't he hate you? There is no one holding the red flag this time, I'm afraid they are just watching your excitement. You think that handing me over to him can bridge the conflict between the two flags. In your heart I'm afraid he knows best how Daishan humiliated Mang Gurtai, and he wishes you Zhenglan Qi to die."

Tunbulu couldn't help but feel angry when he heard what Zach said.At the same time, he also understood why news about Dajin was repeatedly leaked. It turned out that someone in the Han army had become a traitor. No wonder the Ming army came so quickly this time.He stared at the two of them fiercely and said expressionlessly:

"You don't need to worry about whether the conflict between He and the two flags can be resolved. I'll hand you over first."

Zach laughed immediately after hearing this, as if Tunbulu was joking.

"Do you think you can still get out? How do you think the Han army entered the city? In the past few days, you have also seen the power of our artillery. To tell you the truth, we have no less than hundreds of Krupp cannons. Fushun This is a small city. As long as we are willing to attack with all our strength, we will take it soon, not to mention that we still have our internal support in the city.

I can find you today just to give you a chance, to give Sanbeile and even Zhenglanqi a chance.

If you are willing to listen, then listen carefully and I will continue to say. If you do not want to listen and want to seek death, then capture me and give it to Mang Gurtai.But when the city of Fushun is destroyed, you Zhenglanqi will have to be buried with me, and I will let Daishan watch your jokes. "

After Zac finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Tun Bulu quietly with Chen Liangce.

Tunbulu also looked at Zach, his face uncertain.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Zach was telling the truth.Since Mang Gurtai was imprisoned last year, they have complained more and more about Daishan and even Nurhachi.

On the one hand, it was because Nurha Chila was biased and the treatment of Mang Gurtai was really unfair. On the other hand, because the flag owner was imprisoned, the people of the Zhenglan Banner were repeatedly discriminated against and could not hold their head high in front of other flags.

I originally thought that the situation would be better after Mang Gurtai resumed his status as flag leader.But now that Zhenglanqi was defending Fushun, it was almost impossible to hold it back, but Nurhachi's attitude really made him feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, although Zach's words are unpleasant, they are not necessarily a solution to the current dilemma.
