Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 204 (External Part) Erhe's Ideal
In the Eight Banners system, three Dings draw one Jia. This Jia is the armor that will be distributed in the official banner of soldiers. The remaining two Dings are called Yu Ding. They can also fight with them, but they will not be equipped with armor in the banner. Their military resources and equipment You even need to bring your own weapons.

However, with successive military victories, the rate of leather armor in the Qing army has greatly increased, even surpassing that of the Ming army, but it is still not possible to achieve one armor per person.

These Yu Ding are obviously the lowest ranks. Ding Kou, who was not selected as armored soldiers, can only go out with the army, and serve as auxiliary soldiers for the armored soldiers when necessary, and then hope to get a pair of armor for himself through looting. This is not only to improve defense power, And it can improve their status, because if they have armor, the next time there is a shortage of armor soldiers, then they can give priority to fill in, and become a small noble who can eat military rations, and even enjoy land and coats.

Erhe thought so.

He is Yu Ding from the Zhenglan Banner of Manchuria. The reason why he is Yu Ding is not because he is stronger or because he is not good at martial arts, but because he is still very young, he is only thirteen this year.

When he was in Zhuangzi, he often heard the elders talk about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the cowardice of the Ming Dynasty people, but before seeing it with his own eyes, he could not imagine how rich the Ming Dynasty was, just as he could not imagine How cowardly people are.

The Ming people he knew before were from Liaodong Ming, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and those guys from the Guan Ning Army. Those guys were also cowardly in his eyes, but they were not to the point of being outrageous. Erhe thought he was a sensible young man , Seeing is believing, he thought that all the Ming people were like the Han Eight Banners and Guan Ningjun.

Therefore, he often thinks that the elders in Zhuangzi are bragging. How can a Manchurian warrior defeat a hundred soldiers of the Ming Dynasty? Anyway, he thinks that even Batulu can't defeat a hundred soldiers of the Han army, or a hundred soldiers. Guan Ningjun.

But after entering the customs with Beizi Qizhong this time, he believed it, and he believed it firmly.

When he entered the pass from Qiangziling, he wandered across the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a month, but he did not meet a single Ming army who dared to fight against the Manchurian warriors. He even saw them from a distance. The common people run away as soon as they are sloppy. The deepest impression these Ming people gave Erhe at the beginning was that they were tired after chasing, but when they chased them, they made a fortune. They could always grab things, at least they could grab a suit of clothes.

Later, Erhe didn't like the clothes worn by these ordinary people anymore, and his horse couldn't carry so many clothes.

What made Erhe feel less interested was that he didn't find a chance to display his martial arts and bravery along the way, and he robbed a lot of things, which were later exchanged for silver. He thought that after returning to Manchuria, he could fight for himself. He has a cotton armor, and he is excited when he thinks that he can have his own cotton armor before he becomes a soldier. Before entering the customs, his biggest goal is to grab a leather armor for himself.

But then Erhe's goal changed again. Their partial division was divided in Yanzhou. After they went south to Nanzhili of the Ming people, Erhe grabbed more things. Several large pieces of silver, and a piece of gold, he had never seen gold before, a Bashiku in his banner told him that gold was worth ten times more than silver, Erhe instinctively wanted to doubt it at first, but when he thought of entering the customs What the seniors said was confirmed, he believed it, and happily put the gold away.

By the way, this piece of gold was given to him by a fat Ming man in smooth clothes that he chased on the road. The Ming man knelt on the ground and held the gold on top of his head and kowtowed. He didn't know gold at that time, so he took the gold and killed him. They raped the fat man, robbed the fat man of his clothes, and pulled out a lot of silver and pieces of paper from him. He was illiterate and did not know what was written on the paper, and Bashiku was also illiterate, but Bashiku told him that Put it away well, if it is something useful, take it back and show it to the literate guys in Han Ba ​​Banner, maybe you can sell it for money.

Anyway, the pieces of paper were not heavy, so Erhe picked them up, and soon even he himself forgot about the pieces of paper, because robbery is so fun, you don’t have to do anything, you can grab it with a knife, You don't even need to do it, those smart people will give it to you.

Erhe robbed Yanzhou from Qingzhou, and then Haizhou. General Zhengming had ordered to join forces in Shandong, but their southward team was a little reluctant to leave, especially after robbing several villages outside Haizhou. They gained a lot, and they felt that there were more things in the city, so they wanted to try to siege the city.

And they don't have to be afraid of Abate, and they may not be punished later.

So they decided to go back to Shandong to join forces after robbing Haizhou.

But in order to pursue speed and grab more things, they are all cavalry, and without a single auxiliary soldier, there is no way to make equipment. Xu Gan, rushed to the city of Haizhou, and then they didn't have to worry about the people in the city shooting arrows and guns.

They planned to force these people to attack the city with them. They hid behind the Ming people, climbed up the city wall, and then killed all the Ming people in the city, robbed them of all their belongings, um, and finally kidnapped their wives and daughters. This is the last trip. Everyone wants to keep some women. They can sell them if they don’t need them. It’s also good to sell them to the Mongols for some livestock.

Erhe has heard from many seniors that as long as he takes Ming people out of the customs, some people called merchants will wait there, regardless of men and women. I heard that these merchants are also Ming people, but they are very good Ming people. Well, the Great Khan has an order that these businessmen cannot be killed. These Ming people want money from women, and then they will give food and iron to the Manchurian warriors.

But all of this is based on the victory of Haizhou City. In Erhe's mind, the victory of Haizhou City has already been equated with Iron Armor.

Therefore, he was very eager to take down Haizhou City. In the past few days, he saw that the accompanying armored soldiers continued to loot the villages far and near, and Erhe could only stay under the city to guard the people who were driven one by one, but Erhe did not have any Complaints, because he has a strong desire to conquer Haizhou in his heart.

Knowing that today, a fleet of ships suddenly appeared on the Qiangwei River west of Haizhou City. Erhe, who grew up in a village in the inland of Manchuria, had never seen a ship before. It was the first time he saw a ship until he entered Daming, but he saw it today. He has seen enough ships in Daming, but after entering Nanzhili, he saw more ships than in Shandong.

Seeing the boats, Erhe was very excited, because plundering these Ming people's boats often yielded more, sometimes more than what they could grab from a village. Erhe didn't understand why Ming people like to take so many good things. Gathered together and installed on this kind of wooden house that travels on the water, sometimes he wondered if they were just sending things to the Manchurian warriors.

It is impossible not to rob a ship when you see it. Although Erhe knows very little, he is already familiar with robbing. As long as it is robbing, his clever mind will have many ideas, not only him, but other people's brains. There will also be a lot of ideas.

So after seeing the boats, a group of Yu Ding hid quietly, and when the boats stopped, they suddenly rushed out, thinking that it would be like before, the people on the boats scattered and fled, and then they cheerfully dumped everything on the boat. move home.

But this time the people on the boat didn't run away, and when they started shooting arrows, they even shot.

This is unscientific, when the Ming people dared to shoot the guns at the Manchurian warriors, so a few Yu Ding were frightened, and immediately became furious, and went straight to the ship that fired the gun.

Erhe followed suit, and was very active, almost rushing ahead of the first one.

But soon he was stunned, because he saw clearly the people on the boat, some of them had leather armor, and the armor, no matter how you looked at it, was iron armor, Erhe was stunned for a moment, his heart jumped, Could it be that his iron armor can be obtained without waiting to open Haizhou?
Erhe was stunned for a moment, and let others pass his figure. Before he could react, he suddenly heard the sound of bird guns, and then his horse was killed!
His horse was beaten to death by Ming men in iron armor.

Wearing iron armor, Mingren, killed his horse, a series of messages made Erhe almost go crazy, he wanted those iron armor like crazy, he regretted his horse like crazy, so he wanted to kill all of them like crazy These wise people.

He drew out his knife and slashed wildly, but he didn't know who to chop. Suddenly he heard the sound of bird guns again, and at the same time saw puffs of white smoke rising from a nearby ship.
