Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

"I ask to fight and annihilate the Qing army," the chief of the Huite army, Mandulatu, asked the Great Khan of Lianhua for a fight. "I ask to fight~ I ask to fight~" The voices of requesting to fight were heard everywhere in the tent of the guards.

Looking at the excited generals, Sultan was very satisfied. However, he did not agree to the generals' request. Instead, he smiled and said to Toroshihu, the general of Yarkand, and Mengkutmur, the chief of the thousand households: "All the artillery of the artillery camp must be loaded on vehicles and be ready to be transported to the battlefield at any time."

"Yes", the second general accepted the order happily.

Then the Lotus Khan looked at the other generals, smiled and said: "I know you are all eager to make achievements. Don't be anxious, wait a little longer, sharpen your swords and spears, and when the time comes, you will be of use."

"Yes~" There was a chorus of responses in the big tent.
-
After several days of construction, the Qing army's camp was finally completed. Although it was not impregnable, it had a certain degree of defensive capability.

Cai Lu, deputy general of Henan and Hebei in the Qing Dynasty, yawned loudly. He had been working with his men all day and was exhausted. Although he was exhausted, he was actually lucky. In the battle a few days ago, he saw the opportunity early and led his men to escape early, so his men suffered relatively little loss and still had 6,000 men left.

"You bastard, you let Ruan (We in Minnan dialect) do the hard labor again, while those bannermen are enjoying themselves in the camp!" Cai Lu frowned when he heard one of his subordinates curse softly. He was originally the general of Youchong Town under Zheng Chenggong, and his subordinates were all from Fujian. Thinking back to the days when they traveled across the sea with the surname Zheng, it was inevitable that they were wild and difficult to tame. In fact, he himself was also dissatisfied with Doni letting the Green Camp soldiers build camps for the Eight Banners soldiers. What was even more dissatisfied was that the general of Youchong Town only got a deputy general after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. How could he not feel aggrieved. Because of this, he always had the idea of ​​preserving his strength in the war, so the casualties were relatively small. However, this person was very cunning. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he never showed it. Instead, he talked and laughed with the Manchu dignitaries and got along very well.

"It's done. Pass the order down that except for the sentries, all other brothers should return to the camp and rest," Lieutenant General Cai gave the order calmly, as if he didn't hear his subordinates cursing.

"Hmm~" The messenger went to deliver the order without saying anything else.

Cai Lu rubbed his sore eyes and prepared to take off his clothes to rest. His confidant reported, "Deputy General, that idiot is here again."

"Fool? Which fool?" Cai Lu was a little confused.

"He was the fool who claimed to be a small flag of the Wuyi Guard last time and took the letter of surrender written by the so-called pseudo-Khan to persuade you to surrender, and was beaten with sticks by your order," the confidant said softly.

"You mean~" Cai Lu paused, finally made up his mind, lowered his voice and said slowly: "Let that fool in, and send someone to guard the entrance of the tent, so that no one can see us."

"Don't worry, Deputy General, I have already made all the arrangements," the confidant laughed.

The man came into the tent. He was in his thirties, simple-looking, with a dark complexion. At first glance, he looked like an old farmer, but upon closer inspection, his eyes were bright, sharp and shrewd. How could he look like a fool?
"Are you the idiot who came back last time? What's your name?" Cai Lu sat there with a swagger, looking arrogant, not even looking at the person who came. This deputy general had a deep understanding of surrender. He wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and flattered the Qing envoys, but the Qing court looked down on him and he was only a deputy general. So, surrendering must be done in a dignified manner. The more arrogant your attitude is, the less the other party will dare to look down on you, and the higher the official position you will be given.

"You are such a forgetful nobleman! I am Zhao Xi, a flag officer of the Wuyi Guards. I have reported my name." The man was not afraid at all. He walked to the chair in the tent and sat down with a swagger. He looked up and glanced at the deputy general. Are you crazy? I am even crazier than you! "How dare you!"

Cai Lu was enraged and shouted, "Last time I beat you up for your nonsense, and you dare to come back again today? Are you itching for your head or don't want to live anymore? You have a companion, who seems to be a small flag, who went to persuade General Wu to surrender, but was tied up by General Wu and presented to Prince Xin and beheaded for public display. Do you want to repeat the same mistake?"

Zhao Xi couldn't help but feel sad when he heard him mention his good friend Li Yuzhong. He and Li Yuzhong joined Wuchang Guard at the same time and had a deep friendship. Their superior ordered them to go to the various Green Camps to persuade them to surrender. Li Yuzhong was ordered to persuade Wu Wanfu, the general of Funing Town, but was kidnapped by Wu's men and presented to Doni as a gift of loyalty, and lost his life. How can you not hate losing a good friend?

Zhao Xi sneered, "You may not know yet? His Majesty has issued an order that our soldiers will kill Wu Wanfu if they encounter him, even if he wants to surrender. Humph! The status of our Emperor Qianyuan of the David Kingdom is so precious that he personally wrote a letter to a mere general, but he didn't know how to appreciate it! Such a person must be killed!"

Cai Lu felt a chill on his back. Fortunately, he had only beaten the man with a stick and did not take his life. Otherwise, even if he wanted to surrender, he would have no chance!

"Hahaha~" Zhao Xi suddenly laughed, "Furen Cai is a smart man. He didn't want to kill me at the beginning because he wanted to return to Wei. I won't beat around the bush. This time I come back to persuade him to surrender. His Majesty has ordered that if you lead your troops to surrender, you can be appointed as deputy general."

Deputy General? Cai Lu's fiery eyes dimmed. He was originally a talented general, but why was he only a deputy general every time he surrendered? Thinking back to those people who were not as good as him under the command of Koxinga, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, they were all at least generals. He surrendered twice and was still a deputy general. How unfair was heaven!
"Cough," Zhao Xi coughed slowly and continued slowly: "His Majesty also has an order, 'If Cai Luken turns against me on the battlefield and helps me defeat Doni, he can be the general of Fuzhou.' I have announced the imperial edict, and it is up to you what to do next."

Hey~ This guy is not straightforward, he only says half of what he says and leaves the other half unsaid! Cai Lu glanced at him unhappily, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Please reply to His Majesty Emperor Qianyuan, Doni has ordered to hold his ground. If Your Majesty attacks the camp, I am willing to lead my troops to support and will surely defeat Doni."

"Good!" Zhao Xi praised, and suddenly said: "As far as I know, you only have 6,000 soldiers and horses, but Doni has more than 90,000 soldiers and horses. Even if you turn your back on them, can you guarantee success?"

"Your Excellency may not know that I am familiar with Ni Xiang and Chen Ruqi, the guerrillas under the command of Zhejiang Town General Shang Haoren, and I would like to persuade them to join the rebellion. They have two thousand soldiers under their command," Cai Lu said gritting his teeth.

"Are these two reliable?"

"Don't worry. Ni, Chen and I were all former subordinates of the Zheng family. We were bullied after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and have long had the intention of rebellion." Cai Lu was confident and added, "Please reply to Your Majesty and choose to attack the camp at night. At that time, Ni, Chen and I will set fire to the camp. The Qing army will be panicked when they are attacked and see the fire. It will not be difficult to defeat the Qing army."

"This is a great plan! I will return immediately to report to Your Majesty and contact you again after we have agreed on a time to attack the camp. Please make full preparations to be fully prepared," Zhao Xi bowed to Cai Lushen and stood up to say goodbye.

What a "fool", he hurried away quickly and disappeared into the night in a moment. (End of this chapter)
