Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 173 This is their sorcery!

Plague is the enemy of all mankind.

Using this method as a weapon is the last thing Zhao Cheng wants to do.

However, Huang Taiji opened the magic box first.

The principle of Zhao Cheng's life is to repay kindness with kindness and repay grievances with straightness.

This time, it would be worth it if we could completely destroy the backbone of the Jin Kingdom and break down their will to resist.

After releasing these people, Zhao Cheng immediately began to make a series of arrangements.

Disinfect the entire battlefield, everyone must wear a mask, wash their hands frequently, and use hand sanitizer when washing their hands...

Paying attention to hygiene and fighting the plague is as important as fighting.

……

Zhang Ershan was so dizzy that he couldn't understand it at all.

He gave his life to the Tartars, and the Tartars wanted to kill him,
Ba Yala shot an arrow in his chest.

Fortunately, he was wearing cotton armor, and the distance was a little far, so the injury was not serious.

After being captured, I thought I was going to die.

In this era, there is no such thing as preferential treatment of prisoners.

The Jurchens have always treated wounded captives by making amends on the spot.

Only young and strong people have value and the possibility of survival.

On the surface, the Ming army did not kill and surrender, but there was no reason to treat the injured captives. They just had to throw them aside and ignore them, and the injuries could kill him.

Unexpectedly, this Ming army actually treated him, and even gave him a few strange things, saying it was medicine...

Anyway, he had never seen that kind of medicine.

Shouldn't all medicines be decoctions?
Originally, Zhang Ershan didn't expect too much, thinking that the Ming army deliberately lied to him and played tricks on him.

Life is in the hands of others, and he has no room to resist.

What he didn't expect was that after taking the medicine, giving him food, and sleeping all night, he felt much more energetic and his injury was stabilized.

Even the cough that had been unstoppable before was much better.

Zhang Ershan was extremely happy.

Not only was he like this, but most of the comrades who were captured with him were also like this.

After eating enough, the pain of the body was relieved again, and there was the sound of talking and laughing in the tent.

Everyone even thought that the Ming army wanted to recruit them.

If this is the case, it seems to be a good thing to join the Ming army again.

This Ming army is very powerful and eats so well, they are willing to join.

Then, the Ming army began to drive them away.

Some comrades proposed not to leave but to stay, but they were resolutely rejected.

These Ming soldiers all held bayonets and looked fierce.

Zhang Ershan and others had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

The direction Zhang Ershan was released was defended by two white flags.

"Brother, don't shoot the arrow! It's us!"

From a distance, looking at the heavily guarded Jin army camp in front of him, Zhang Ershan shouted loudly, afraid of causing any misunderstanding, and was shot to death by the opponent again.

"spit!"

Next to him, a fellow robe spat hard on the ground.

Now, these people don't have a good opinion of Jin Jun at all.

After anyone has been betrayed once, it is impossible to have no complaints.

Zhang Ershan felt the sharp pain coming from his chest... His resentful eyes glanced at Ba Yala who was wearing Baijia in the distance.

This wound was shot by Ba Yala!
Almost killed him.

He was resentful in his heart, and when he saw a few Jurchens approaching from the opposite side, they had flattering smiles on their faces.

"Master, it's us! We are under the banner of the Han army! Yesterday when we fought against the Ming army, we were injured by heavy arrows and fainted. We just came back now!"

"spit!"

A Ba Yala came forward and kicked Zhang Ershan in the stomach.

Zhang Ershan fell to the ground with his buttocks, the wound on his chest burst open, his teeth were grinning in pain, his eyes turned black, and he almost passed out.

"You idiot! Did the master call you casually? You deserve it?" Ba Yala yelled loudly.

"I'm sorry! My lord! The little one was wrong! Don't dare again! The little one belongs to the Han Army Banner. The little one's master belongs to the Zhenglan Banner, called Erdene."

Zhang Ershan is a smart man, so he quickly made friends.

Now it sounds like this master and slave seems to be humiliating people.

But in this era, this fresh ranking has just come out, and it is easy for everyone to accept it.

Moreover, in the Kingdom of Jin, the master and slave did not just yell.

Many people work hard, the goal is to find a good master.

Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many people still felt very regretful and missed the Qing Dynasty very much.

Thinking of that era, "It's so beautiful to be able to call the master happily"!

Zhang Ershan now belongs to the Han Army Banner, but he was once a slave of Erden's subordinates.

Therefore, Erden is his master for life.

What's more, now he needs to pull out the banner of master.

"He's from Erden!"

That Ba Yala seemed to know Erden Erdener, and his tone suddenly eased a lot.

"Yes, Lord. My master loves the slaves and gave them a chance to go to the Han army flag to make meritorious service. I never thought that I lost the battle yesterday and was shot by the Ming army in the chest. I couldn't withdraw and was captured by them. .”

Zhang Ershan opened the wound on his chest and let Ba Yala see.

"Cough cough!"

When that Ba Yala just approached, Zhang Ershan felt his throat itchy, coughed twice, and the wound was affected, and there was another burst of severe pain.

That Ba Yala frowned, but didn't pay much attention to it. He checked Zhang Ershan's injury and confirmed that it was real, so he felt relieved.

Zhang Ershan also let out a slight breath.

Of course he wouldn't say that the wound was shot by the Jurchens who were supervising the battle when they were fleeing.

For the same wound, it is important to know whose hand it is.

A prisoner of war here came back from the camp of the Ming army, which immediately alarmed the people above.

Zhang Ershan and others had their weapons confiscated, they were gathered together, and they sat on the ground and waited.

After a short time, the sound of horseshoes was heard, and a group of people rushed over.

Judging by the momentum, one can tell that a big shot is coming.

Zhang Ershan cheered up immediately.

"master!"

"master!"

Zhang Ershan saw that all the Jurchens knelt respectfully and called their masters.

Two young men in white armor walked in the front, followed by a group of strong soldiers guarding them.

Dorgon!
Dodo!

Zhang Ershan suddenly felt that his breathing was a little short, and he coughed a few more times.

This is the banner owner of the Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, the brothers of the Tartar Khan, Dorgon and Duoduo!

When he followed his master Erden, he saw Dorgon and Duoduo from a distance.

Dorgon and Duoduo brothers stood in front of Zhang Ershan and others.

Zhang Ershan and others were all kneeling, lying on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads, for fear of offending the other party and being hacked to death.

The Tartars are very cruel. In their eyes, the life of the Han people is not life at all.

"Bold! Say! Have you already joined the Ming army and become the Ming army's spies, internal response?"

Dorgon winked at Duo Duo, who suddenly spoke and yelled at a prisoner of war.

The prisoner of war knelt in front of Zhang Ershan, and Zhang Ershan fell on the ground, his thighs and buttocks could be seen out of the corner of his eyes.

He could clearly see that the man was taken aback, and the smell of urine came out instantly... scared to pee.Trembling like chaff.

"No... no! Slave... No! The little one doesn't dare! The little one..."

Before the prisoner of war finished speaking, Duoduo had already slashed out and beheaded the man directly.

Blood splattered, Zhang Ershan felt his face was warm, followed by the smell of blood.

The man in front was still joking with him just now.

Now he is lying on the ground, his neck has been cut in half, his head is tilted to one side, with a fearful expression on his face, and he will die with regret.

"Who dares to lie, this is the end."

Duoduo scolded, and then put the knife holder on Zhang Ershan's neck, and asked:

"You! Tell me! How did the Ming army order you to be internal responders?"

Zhang Ershan shuddered, trembling all over, and subconsciously wanted to recognize it first.

Those who dared to deny it were killed on the spot.

However, he reacted quickly.

If it is admitted that it is the internal response of the Ming army, I am afraid that the death will be even worse.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Ershan said:
"No! My lord, I really don't have it! I don't dare to be an internal response! The Ming army really released us. Maybe they are short of food, and they don't want to kill us..."

Sweat broke out on Zhang Ershan's forehead, and his voice trembled, feeling that this moment was longer than a lifetime.

Duoduo was silent for a moment, and finally took the long knife back.

Next, a footstep walked in front of Zhang Ershan, and a gentle voice sounded:

"You, look up!"

Zhang Ershan raised his head and saw Dorgon standing in front of him.

"Don't be afraid. Whatever I ask, you answer honestly, and you won't die."

Dorgon is worthy of being the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, with a gentle voice, but with an irresistible force.

"Yes, my lord! What the lord wants to ask, as long as the little one knows, he will never dare to hide it."

Zhang Ershan said respectfully.

"What kind of formation did the Ming army put up? How did they deploy their defenses? Tell me in detail."

Dorgon asked.

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Ershan agreed, sorted out his thoughts a little bit, recalled what he had seen and heard in the Ming army's position, and began to narrate.

"My lord, the costumes of this Ming army are very strange. They all wear a kind of clothes called protective clothing in addition to their battle robes, and they all cover their faces..."

"Protective clothing? What is this? Can it block our arrows?"

Dorgon leaned forward, looking very interested.

"No... you can't. I don't know what the protective clothing is made of, but it's not strong. I tried it secretly, and it can be torn easily, and it can't stop arrows. Moreover, this thing, they just After wearing it for a while, at night, I took it off and burned it.

The little one also heard the Ming army comment that these things are disposable, that is to say, they are only worn once, worn in the morning and burned at night. "

"Can't protect against arrows, wear it in the morning, and burn it at night?"

Dorgon frowned.

"Sorcery! Brother, this is their sorcery!"

Dodo said immediately.

Dorgon nodded.

When he heard these words, the first thought that came to his mind was the same.

"Is this the reason why the Ming army can have so many methods?"

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Ershan couldn't help coughing twice.

Dorgon took two steps back slightly.

At this time, the hygiene concept of these ordinary soldiers is very poor, they don't brush their teeth at all, and the taste in their mouths can be imagined.

Dorgon and other Jurchen nobles learned the living habits of the Ming gentry and brushed their teeth with green salt every day.

Zhang Ershan coughed twice at him, almost choking him to death.

"Go on."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Ershan agreed, and continued:
"The Ming army's position is very tightly guarded. We are prisoners of war and are not qualified to enter the position. However, when we were led past from the front of the position, the little one took a peek.

On their position, there are iron cannons. They are all cannon carts with wheels, which look like Franco cannon carts. However, the cannons placed on them look like Hongyi cannons, but they are relatively small... ..."

Zhang Ershan first came to the Liaodong Army, then served as Aha in the Jurchen Army, and later, he went to the Han Army Banner...

He had seen a lot of firearms.

But the Napoleon cannon, he had never seen it before, so he couldn't understand it.

"Oh?"

Dorgon moved forward again, and told him intuitively that the powerful artillery of the Ming army might have something to do with these artillery vehicles.

"Please explain in detail. Have you ever seen this cannon fire?"

"The little one is not too sure. When the little one was charging, he recently rushed within a hundred steps of the Ming army's position and saw it from a distance. It seems that these artillery vehicles were fired by the Ming army.

This time, at a closer distance, I can see clearly.It is estimated that it is probably.But after the young one was captured, he really never saw the cannons firing at close range, so he dared not lie to the prince. "

Zhang Ershan is bragging.

When he was charging, he was greedy for life and afraid of death every time, and deliberately lagged behind. At most, he only charged more than 200 steps away, and he said that he was within a hundred steps.

"It seems that this is another Zhuge artifact that we have never seen before!"

Dorgon nodded, sighing with emotion.

This Ming army has Zhuge artifacts and sorcery...

It is really their Jurchen's rival!

"Huang Taiji did one thing right. No matter how much we pay, we must take down this Ming army. If this Ming army returns to Xuanfu Town and is appreciated and reused by the court, we will build a state." The Horde is over!"

Just as Duo ErGun and Duo Duo were personally interrogating Zhang ErShan and others, Zheng HuangQi suddenly came to order.

"My lord, the Great Khan has ordered that the prisoners of war who have returned from the Ming army's position be escorted to the Zhenghuang Banner camp immediately without any delay."

"Why?"

Dodo immediately became upset.

"Isn't it just a few prisoners of war? It's worthy of him, Huang Taiji, to give us an order in person? Doesn't it mean that our majestic banner leader, Baylor, doesn't even have the right to interrogate prisoners of war?"

"This is the order of the Great Khan, please obey it!"

The voice of the visitor was firm.

"Dodo!"

Seeing that Duo Duo's eyes were about to get angry, Dorgon yelled and stopped him.

Turning to the man, he said:

"Go! Tell the Great Khan, we know. Send troops to escort people over."

Dorgon was also a little displeased when he sent people away.

I thought Huang Taiji wanted to monopolize the news alone.

"Brother, Huang Taiji is going too far! Now, for a few prisoners of war, he gave us such a strict order. Are we going to back down again and again?"
