Ming Zuo

Chapter 556 The Base
Gao Qiqian was on the sidelines all the time watching his words and demeanor, seeing this scene, he knew that Chongzhen's attitude had softened.

He quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court is now powerless to fight again. Chao Yingzhao's entire army is wiped out. Even if Shandong Zuo Ni doesn't come to attack the capital and only goes to Tianjin, the harm will be far-reaching. We must investigate."

Chongzhen closed his eyes in pain, really wanting to escape these realities.

But he is the emperor, there is no way out.

"Call the elders over here."

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qi were overjoyed from the bottom of their hearts, knowing that he was persuaded.

Chongzhen staggered and was about to go back, but suddenly he turned his head and looked at the musket that made him despair with complicated eyes.

"This gun..."

................................................

"Why is this gun different?"

Mangurtai's roar was like thunder, showing his anger.

On Sakhalin Island, after days of fighting, this special Manchu-Han coalition has captured the entire north.

Now they are attacking the west bank of the Polo River, which is where the Polo River Guard is located.

Although the Polo River Guard was one of the Jurchen Guards set up by the Ming Dynasty, in fact the people here are very different from the Jurchen guards.

While marching and fighting, General Wu, Zhang Keda and others paid attention to summarizing. They had already discovered that the people here were very different from the Jurchens in terms of clothing, language, and living habits.

"In the past, the imperial court lacked the necessary understanding of this place, and many of the settings were very rough. On the contrary, they exaggerated the power of the Jurchens invisibly. If we can carefully identify them, we can naturally prescribe the right medicine."

General Wu's words were approved by Zhang Keda.

"According to what you said, I'm afraid those so-called barbarian Jurchens can't be counted as Jurchens. You must report this after you go back, so as to provide a reference for the future strategy of Liaodong."

They also heard Manggurtai's roar.

Fighting together these days, Mang Gurtai and others have already discovered that the firecrackers presented to them are very different from those used by the soldiers brought by Zhang Keda.

Whether it is range, lethality, or reloading speed, the firecrackers they use cannot be compared with the fire hat guns of the new army.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Manggurtai finally broke out.

But for his anger, General Wu was very calm.

"These good guns are for our Shandong Xinjun's own use, so naturally we won't distribute them to you. Besides, the firecrackers given to you are already enough to wipe out the aborigines in this barbaric land."

Such blunt words made Mangurtai hold back.

Zhang Chun heard it from the side, not only surprised.I found that the behavior of these traitors from Shandong was completely inconsistent with the tolerance and generosity of the heavenly kingdom.

However, these barbarians were very convinced by this approach, which made him not only start to reflect on the mistakes of the past courts.

The Polo River Guard is a relatively large tribe on Sakhalin Island, with a total of more than [-] people.But now they are all besieged in a stockade on a small hill, watching the coalition forces approaching step by step.

They once resisted when the coalition forces came over.

But the stone knives and bone arrows they use are like babies in front of muskets.

Forced to have no choice but to guard the village now, but obviously they also know that they can't keep it for long.

The race of the Polo River Guard, in fact, should be the Feiyaka people.

They have lived on Sakhalin Island for generations and have never communicated with the outside world.

In their minds, the coalition forces are more terrifying than devils and evil gods.

Seeing that the formation of the coalition forces began to press forward and their demise was imminent, the leader of the Poluo River Guard had no choice but to stand up and walk out of the stockade alone.

He walked to a place far away from the city wall, only a hundred steps away from the coalition army, then knelt down, holding something in his palms, and kowtowed non-stop.

Seeing this, Zhang Keda quickly stopped the people below from shooting.

"Looking at this, these people seem to be surrendering."

Mang Gurtai was very upset, cursing and saying: "These are barbarians, if you don't kill them well, you won't be obedient."

Liang Fa looked at him dissatisfied, and reprimanded him: "In the future, if we want to gain a foothold here, we can rely on these natives. Only by integrating their forces can we hope to resist Huang Taiji's pursuers in the future. You only know how to kill and create Hatred, once these people renounce their virtues and turn to Huang Taiji, you will die."

Manggurtai was very upset that he could not fight or kill people.

"Hmph, but you southern barbarians have a lot of eyes, but you can't fight a war."

Leng Sengji had a different idea from him.

"Mr. Baylor, what Mr. Liang said is not unreasonable. Today's Huang Taiji no longer kills, and his kindness and kindness really won the hearts of the people, which caused you to go far away. I think we should learn to manage well so that we can be with Huang Taiji Divide into court."

You can't mention Huang Taiji with Mangurtai, as long as you mention Mongolian Ertai, you will become a donkey, very obedient.

After he was dealt with, Zhang Keda, Zhang Chun and Wu Jiang stepped forward and came to the leader of the Boluo River Guard.

The leader couldn't tell his age, he was wearing a shabby fur, most of his body was naked, and his face was covered with deep brown wrinkles.

But what he held in his hand made Zhang Keda and the others look sideways.

It was an oriental pearl.

An oriental bead the size of an egg.

Even Zhang Chun, who is well-informed, has never seen such a large pearl, and he knows that its price is invaluable and immeasurable.

It seems that in order to save their lives, the Polo River Guard took out the best things.

Zhang Keda reached out and took the pearl over, noticing that the leader's eyes were full of pleading, suddenly thought of something, and shouted to the back: "Bring a hundred cotton coats."

Soon there were soldiers carrying cotton coats to his side.

Zhang Keda picked up one, but because of the language barrier, he had to gesture with his hands.

He first pointed to Dongzhu, then pointed to the pile of cotton clothes, and then put the clothes in his hands on the leader of the Poluo River Guard.

The leader was quite puzzled at first, and also a little timid.

When the cotton coat was put on his body, he was immediately intoxicated by the comfortable and warm feeling.

He had never seen such a comfortable thing in his life.

Compared with Zhang Keda and others, he also knew that it was for wearing.

Now he understood.

Zhang Keda accepted his Dongzhu, and then exchanged these clothes.

The original intention of the leader to sacrifice Dongzhu was to survive.Because in their eyes, these people are too terrifying.

But when this transaction happened, things went bad.

The leader was dancing, pointing to those clothes and then to himself, apparently asking if they were all for him?

Zhang Keda smiled and nodded.

The leader was overjoyed, and turned his head towards the village and yelled "Ah, ah" for a long time.

After a while, more than a dozen young men ran out of the village.After listening to the leader's order, they all picked up their clothes and put them on.

Like the leader, the warm and comfortable cotton clothes made some people dance happily.When I looked at the coalition forces again, I wasn't so scared anymore.

Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something, felt in the leather pocket on his body, and even pulled out a fist-sized piece of gold.

He pointed to the gold and then to the clothes, which seemed to mean that he wanted to change a few more.
