readxThe Jinzhou Acropolis stood there in a dilapidated state, with the city gates damaged and all the people missing.
The corpse collection teams inside and outside the city searched from house to house and kept transporting corpses out of the city.
Although Jinzhou has been in the hands of Beizi Abatai for some time, after siege and three days of looting without sealing the sword, Jinzhou is already empty of ten houses, and the remaining ones are mostly women and children.
Now It's a coated slave.
Abatai was sitting in the tent in the north of the city, listening to the account report from the housekeeper Hu Butai.
"Master, there are a total of more than 3,200 people in Dingkou, with 63 pieces of iron armor, 347 pieces of cotton armor, more than 4,000 swords and guns, and more than 240 foot and bows.
There are more than 4,000 red coats and 5 fat coats.
More than a hundred, eleven thousand dan of grain, two thousand three hundred taels of gold, and twenty-four thousand six hundred and seventy-six taels of silver."
Butler Hu Butai's voice was loud and somewhat excited.
Abatai was also quite proud.
Although he lost more than ten white armors, more than sixty vests, nearly two hundred men, and more than three hundred coats, another Niu Lu was seriously injured in the forehead, and three men died, and the gold After all, the state was won, and the gains were substantial.
In the past, because the family did not have its own Eight Banners, most of the gains were taken by the brothers.
Today, I alone lead the Xianghuang Banner and the Zhenghuang Banner to advance into Jinzhou, and I have my own means to achieve more results.
Of course, the acres and shops depended on which flag was stationed and which flag it belonged to, but I was satisfied with the harvest.
The harvest from grabbing Nikan is quick and abundant.
Several women's howls and screams came over, accompanied by several Manchu words.
Which slave is having fun with Han women?
Abatai recalled that the corners of the two men's mouths curled up in contentment last night.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and they stopped at the entrance of the tent.
A leader urged him to go in and kneel down.
"Master, Master Manggurtebele leads the Zhenglan Banner with more than 6,000 cavalry and follows this for forty miles."
Abatello pondered for a while, why did the three Baylors come here to lead their troops?
Could they be attacking Lushun?
"Put on your armor and go to greet us."
Five miles away from the city, Abatai and his guards looked into the distance and saw a cloud of dust in the distance.
Niu Lu, the leader, held a blue flag high.
Niu Lu Zhangjing, the leader, saw Abatai's flag. , Gurtai hurriedly called for help, and he dismounted and knelt down to pay homage.
"Get up and wait outside Jinzhou City first."
Abatai said.
"Hey."
Niu Lu took the order and left.
Then large groups of people came rolling in, flags fluttering and armor shining.
Abatai touched his short beard and smiled proudly.
On the land of Liaodong, our elite soldiers of Daijin are invincible.
While thinking about it, a large number of people came out.
The first person was Mang Gurtai.
This Sanbeile only wore leather armor.
"Fifth brother," Abate stepped forward and saluted, looking very respectful.
"Lao Qi, thank you for your hard work," Mang Gurtai returned the greeting.
Well, this Lao Qi is quite capable, but it's a pity that his background is too poor.
"Thanks to Ama Hongfu, the three armies sacrificed their lives to capture Jinzhou.
Finally, we fulfilled our mission."
Abatai responded with a smile.
"Lao Qi is still the one who can do it.
How about a good harvest?

I have taken in a few Han slaves."
Mang Gurtai laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Abatai couldn't close his mouth.
"I don't know why my father asked my fifth brother to come to Jinzhou for business."
"King Khan heard from Li Yongfang's sentinel that there were many escaped slaves in Nikan in Lushun and the defense was lax.
He ordered me to take down the Zhenglan flag to prevent the Ming Dynasty from learning about the fall of Jinzhou and massive reinforcements.
It's not easy to eat."
Mang Gurtai curled his lips, rather disapprovingly.
"I was traveling in a hurry and didn't bring much food.
Old Seven, I have to rely on you."
Abatai felt pain in his heart, but said, "It doesn't matter, there is a lot of food and grass left in Nikan.
Seventh brother, I will definitely supply the needs of the army first."
Mang Gurtai looked at Abatai's heartache with a smile and felt happy in his heart.
"In addition, ask your men to wrap up their clothes and follow the army."
"Follow the order."
Abatai was very angry.
How many of these thousand bags of clothes could be returned, and he would not let Xiang Huangqi go with him?
It was clear that he had no share in the Caogu attack.
Mang Gurtai took a good look at Abatai's heartache and whetted his appetite.
"Well, I'll ask two more Niulu to go with me."
No more chewing bones, but you can drink some soup.
"When will Fifth Brother capture Port Arthur?
I'll ask my servants to prepare food and grass."
"Nikkan can find out if he can get to Jinzhou if he doesn't stop at night."
Mang Gurtai urged the horse to go ahead and move slowly.
"I have sent out two Niulu.
Jinzhou is so narrow that it is difficult for Niulu to fly."
Abatai followed closely.
"Okay, I've been traveling in a hurry, and the slaves are very tired.
After a day's rest, I'll quickly disembark from Lushun and catch him off guard.
If I can take advantage of the chaos, it's better to seize the city.
If I can't, I'll split the north and south cities and attack Baoyi as soon as he arrives.
"Cowardly Nikan can't stop my army for a long time."
Mang Gurtai patted Abatai, "Old Qi, I'm very hungry.
You can make arrangements next."
"Fifth brother, Jinzhou has already prepared a banquet, come with me quickly."
Abatai wanted to say hurriedly.
The team moved forward faster, and the birds and animals were frightened along the way.
In the official office in Nancheng, Lushun, Commander Zhao and Geng Guerzheng were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After a cup of tea, the official greetings came to an end.
"Master Zhao, I don't know when the food, grass, soldiers and armor will be able to go ashore and be stored in the warehouse," Geng Zhongyu asked for advice.
"Geng Guerrilla, all the baggage is on the ship.
However, I see that the refugees have filled the dock and the transportation is quite stable.
After two days, most of the refugees will be shipped out and then put into the warehouse.

Do you think this is true, Lord Geng?"
Zhao Haiming put down the tea cup and said .
"Very good.
A few days ago, when we got off the ship for food, the refugees went crazy for food.
The army chopped down more than ten households before they could suppress them."
Geng Zhongyu wiped his sweat and said, "I am still scared to death."
"Sir Geng, you have worked really hard to guard the country's borders in this war-torn place."
Zhao Lie bowed deeply.
"Young Master Zhao is serious about his words.
Guarding the border for our country is our duty, and we should not do it."
Geng Zhongyu said, but the smile on his face could not be stopped.
Zhao Haiming twisted his beard and smiled, "Well, boy, you know a thing or two about the officialdom."
"Master Geng, I grew up in Weihai since I was a child, and my knowledge is very humble.
Now I see that the city of Lushun is very majestic.
I want to take a look at the city.
I don't know if it's okay."
Zhao Lie opened his eyes and told lies.
Weihai Guard is one of the four guards in the world, isn't it?
Port Arthur is comparable.
"It's easy to say.
In a moment, I will call two soldiers to take the young master to the city for a visit."
It was just a small request from a small government office, and Geng Zhongyu complied with it.
Zhao Lie climbed to the top of the North City and saw that more than 200 steps to the northwest was the North City, which was an old-fashioned square acropolis.
Between the two cities were large and small shacks, crowded with refugees, and the nearby trees and grass were completely destroyed.
Zhao Liedenggao estimated that there were between 30,000 and 40,000 refugees.
The Lushun Navy, the Dongjiang Navy, and the Dengzhou Navy and fishing boats would transport them away later.
There must be tens of thousands of people.
Well, there is no time, Zhao Lie muttered to himself.
Zhao Lie looked around and had some plans in mind, but they were quite difficult.
Zhao Lie and others filed down the stairs, only to see a man in his forties and a man in his twenties who were in good health standing at the foot of the stairs.
The Geng family soldiers introduced them as Hu Yu, the housekeeper of the Geng family.
Hu Yu bowed and said, "Sir, my master has something to ask of me.
I hope you will agree."
Zhao Lie cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say.
If you have anything to do, Lord Guerrilla, just give me your orders."
Hu Yu looked at another young man and said: "Sir, this is a relative of my lord, a native of Jinzhou.
Jinzhou has fallen and wants to take refuge in Shandong.
I hope your lord will be successful."
Wu Qun stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Young master, I am Wu Qun of Jinzhou.
My father was killed in Jinzhou some time ago.
I have told my family to return to their ancestral home in Qingzhou, Shandong and settle down in the hope that the young master will be happy."
Wu Qun led the whole family here.
I arrived in Lushun, hoping to return to Shandong.
However, at this time, the navy was busy transporting refugees to the Dongjiang Islands and there was no ship for the time being.
Heading to Shandong, Wu Qun understood that Jiu Nu would soon capture Lushun, and time was running out, so he could not delay, so he sent someone to pick up Hu Yu, the housekeeper of Geng Zhongyu who was a guerrilla, and paid him two thousand taels of silver, hoping that Hu Yu would help him.

When the fleet returned to Shandong last time, Geng Zhongyu considered that only the Weihai Navy fleet was intact at this time, so he called Hu Yu to give it a try.
"Sir, Wu Qun's family has a large population, so it is extremely difficult to find a boat.
You see..."
Hu Yu added quickly when Zhao Lie was silent.
"Look, how much is the shipping cost..."
"Sir, Wu Qun is willing to offer you 5,000 taels of silver as ship fare, and I hope your Majesty will grant it."
Wu Qun gritted his teeth.
Money was an extraneous thing, and he could no longer care about it at this time.
If they were transported to Dongjiang, the military leaders would not let them go.
Jinzhou was close to the sea, and the actions of the Dongjiang generals were vividly visible.
My father made it clear that he would not go to Dongjiang.
He wanted to go back to Shandong because he was afraid that if he went to Dongjiang, he would be exploited.
Expecting Dongjiang to fight back against Jiannu and return to his homeland is a fool's errand.
"How many people are there in the clan?"
Zhao Lie asked seriously.
In fact, I felt something in my heart, and it seemed that I needed to rely on this person's help
