Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 232 Knowing the State and Abandoning the City
Six hundred versus four thousand!
Yang Chao can only fight. The idea is to use defense to consume the enemy first. It is natural to be able to kill and injure a thousand or so. With 300 people coming, it is certainly impossible to worry about casualties.

In the case of 4000 people attacking with all their strength, Yang Chao is already very optimistic that he can consume 1000 people.

Then you have to fight hand-to-hand with 3000 captive soldiers. I am afraid that you may have to fight in the warehouse. If your 600 people use the army to fight the opponent to death, you may be able to fight to death with 2000 people, and kill 3000 people, even if they are all dead. That's enough.

The next day Huang Qi came again, this time with an even more smug look on his face.

Because all 4000 captive soldiers were already in place, and only 1000 soldiers were deployed on each of Yang Chao's north, south, and west sides. Yang Chao could not escape, so Huang Qi decided that Yang Chao had no choice but to surrender.

Yang Chao was still hypocritical. He told Huang Qi his worries, saying that he had killed 300 captive soldiers, fearing that he would be retaliated against.

Huang Qi told Yang Chao that the Qing Dynasty respected warriors, and instead of being jealous, they valued Yang Chao very much. As long as Yang Chao surrendered, high-ranking officials and rich salary would not escape. He also promised Yang Chao that he would directly enter Zhenghuangqi, Manchuria.

The Eight Banners are divided into three types, the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Han Army Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners. The Manchurian Eight Banners are not all Manchus. For some meritorious Han people, Mongolians are also allowed to enter. He is proud of being a servant of the rich and powerful in Manchuria.

Yang Chao sneered in his heart, seeing clearly that Huang Qi was a person who was complacent about being a slave, but Yang Chao didn't want to be a slave.

But his face was still pandering, and he talked to Huang Qi about the treatment of his subordinates, expressing that he did not want to be separated from his subordinates.

Huang Qi immediately understood that Yang Chao didn't want to lose his own strength. This was an old problem of the officers of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Chao has more than 600 people under his command. Huang Qi has known this for a long time, and his fighting power is extremely strong. Not only Huang Qi, but also the officers of the captive soldiers at this time also take it for granted that these are Yang Chao's personal soldiers. The status of a Ming army officer with a hundred relatives is definitely not low, and it is of course very meaningful to be able to recruit the past.

However, he cannot be allowed to continue to lead his tribe. Even a person like Zu Dashou, when he arrived in Manqing, his subordinates would only seek the status of a bannerman, and they would all be assigned to the villages of the Eight Banners. The flag is under the jurisdiction of the flag master.

Yang Chao was naturally unavoidable. Huang Qi patiently explained the Eight Banners system to Yang Chao, and assured that although Yang Chao could not command the old troops, he would definitely be able to obtain new soldiers and horses. The attention of the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Chao asked many more questions, showing great interest in the surrender, but only showing deep worry.

This made Huang Qi not suspicious at all, because Yang Chao's behavior was no different from other officers of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Qi felt that Yang Chao could not run away and would surrender sooner or later, so he asked out of nowhere that he wanted to see the captives.

At this time, Yang Chao was in a dilemma, but he finally confessed "honestly", saying that the captives made Haizhou Zhizhou leave, and the heads of those people were also in Haizhou City. dissatisfied emotions.

Huang Qi was so angry that he almost pointed at Yang Chao's nose and cursed.

Yang Chao was frightened and expressed his willingness to take the blame and make meritorious service.

Huang Qi asked him how he made meritorious deeds, but Yang Chao couldn't say a thing or two.

Huang Qi left the warehouse angrily.

Jiang Yang made no progress in the negotiations, but he sent Yang Chao fifty bird guns, telling Yang Chao that they were all well-made bird guns, so that Yang Chao could use them with confidence, but Yang Chao couldn't rest assured, even if these bird guns looked like Going up is no different from my own bird gun, so I don't dare to rest assured.

Huang Qi didn't come for several days, and finally came on the fourth day.

Tell Yang Chao that the 6000 follow-up soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have almost arrived in Haizhou.

At the same time, they notified Yang Chao, and they gave Yang Chao a chance to make a contribution, that is, to help the Qing Dynasty break through Haizhou City and rescue the prisoners.

At this time, Yang Chao had secretly found out the identity of the prisoner through many conversations. Huang Qi called it "the master of Zhenghongqi", and he was a son of Zhenghongqi in terms of title!

The Qing system used to be slavery, but with the development of looting, the so-called economic base determines the superstructure, and slavery is disintegrating. Although various systems still have shadows of the past, they have existed in name only.

In the past, the status of Beizi in the Eight Banners was very important. Above the Beizi was Baylor, and the old Baylors like Amin and Daishan were all banner owners.

However, after Huang Taiji came to power, he gradually weakened the banners and strengthened the centralization system. Now Beizi has become something similar to a title. Duke, Lord Fuguo, General Zhenguo, General Fuguo, General Fengguo.

Although Beizi is only the fourth class, given the fact that the Qing regime did not rise for a long time, titles are still very scarce. For those who get the title of prince, there are no more than ten people in the entire Eight Banners, and there are more than 20 people for kings, and Baylor does not exceed fifty. As for Beizi, there are definitely not a hundred people, so Beizi is already considered a high-ranking figure, and it is quite serious to lose a Beizi.

Moreover, in the Eight Banners system, each master must have a large number of Niulu Banners. These shellfish are the big slave owners in the Eight Banners, and they are often dignitaries. They can be related to Nurhachi, that is, relatives of Huang Taiji , is the status of clan aristocrats.

Such a status is indeed honorable, no wonder it can attract the attention of the soldiers, but it is too much to bring 1 people to fight Yang Chao, and it is not justified, so Yang Chao feels strange, but the real reason has not been clarified yet. After all, Huang Qi always thought that Yang Chao knew the true identity of that 'Beizi', and Yang Chao couldn't let Huang Qi know that he didn't know, which would lead to a misleading situation.

Therefore, Yang Chao can only guess, and can only bet that the identity of this shellfish is very important, as long as the captive soldiers are absolutely unwilling to save him, it is fine. Knowing this situation, the soldiers may have other thoughts, such as deceiving themselves.

And Yang Chao's conjecture was also confirmed step by step. The captive soldiers sent another 6000 people, and with the current 1, there would be [-] captive soldiers. It is impossible for someone worth mobilizing [-] people to come to the rescue. Such insignificant pawns must have a lot of background. Yang Chao even began to wonder if Nurhachi's youngest sons like Dorgon and Duoduo had fallen into his hands, but thinking about it, it was impossible. If it was these two people, I am afraid that Huang Taiji, who has been thinking of ways to weaken the situation of the Eight Banners in their own way, would be very anxious, and it is absolutely impossible to come to rescue.

Although the identities of the captives were unclear, only 1 enemies came to attack Haizhou, which was enough for Yang Chao to worry.

In fact, Yang Chao was the only one who was worried.

Surrounded by captive regiments, the morale of the army has been unstable. Yang Chao asked Huang Fengfu and Hu Quan to repeatedly explain to the soldiers in the army, telling everyone that there is only a dead end to escape now, and let everyone continue to stick to it.

But seeing several times the number of enemies outside, although these have killed people, after all, they have experienced few battles, and each young soldier may charge with enthusiasm, but the sky is not afraid, but When surrounded, it is inevitable that the will will not be strong enough, far inferior to the veterans of hundreds of battles.

On this point, Yang Chao didn't think the soldiers were cowardly. Even he was worried about the situation of being surrounded, even a little desperate. He felt that he was doomed this time, but he would never consider surrendering.

Yang Chao's soldiers were all worried, tense and even fearful, not to mention those soldiers in Haizhou City, whether they were ordinary people or guard soldiers, their will was not as strong as Yang Chao's soldiers.

But what is more terrified than these people and guards are those scholars. They have no power to restrain a chicken, and they never think that it is a virtue to go forward and die generously. One should be wise and protect oneself, a gentleman should not erect a dangerous wall, and a man who understands current affairs is a hero.

Of course, if the captive soldiers did not come to plunder, but to occupy, they would think that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master, so they would surrender immediately, but now the captive soldiers came to plunder, and they obviously did not The opportunity to surrender, so we can only protect ourselves wisely.

When the captive soldiers surrounded Yang Chao from the north, south, and west, and 1000 people went south early to surround the south of Haizhou City, the literati in the city could still hold on, but when a large group of captive soldiers also appeared from the north, and with When an overwhelming momentum came, the literati couldn't hold on anymore.

Jiang Yang rushed to Yang Chao's place in the middle of the night, and was almost accidentally killed by the nervous soldiers on duty at night. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured because he was wearing a hundred iron armor, but he was shot in the arm by an arrow.

Jiang Yang came here in such an emergency to inform Yang Chao that the governor of Haizhou took a large group of scholars and ran away at night.

The specific problem is not clear, but it is said that one of the scholars, who runs a salt farm at home, suggested that before the captive soldiers encircled Haizhou on all sides, they escaped in advance to save their useful lives.

And this scholar also gave a plan to escape, that is to run east and go south by boat by sea.

Haizhou is actually the Lianyungang of the later generations, but at this time the siltation was not as serious as the later generations. The coastline is closer to Haizhou City, and the nearby salt fields, such as Bianjiapu, have channels directly leading to the sea, leading seawater into the Pupu to dry salt.

It’s only ten miles to the sea to the east, and you can usually see the vastness of the sea from Haizhou City, so fleeing to the sea is a way, and there are fishing villages by the sea, so it’s not difficult to find a fishing boat.

The prefects of Haizhou all ran away, which made Yang Chao a little dumbfounded.
