Chapter 208: One of Ningguta City
At that time, the Northeast was sparsely populated, and from Heilongjiang to Shengjing, there were hardly many villages to be seen along the way. There are two reasons for the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info the first is that since the death of Li Chengliang, the old slaves openly rebelled, and the Han people outside the Guanwai were either killed or reduced to slaves; the second reason is that after the Qing army entered the customs, most of the banner people outside the customs entered the customs, and the outside of the customs became a forbidden place, and the Han people were forbidden to enter, and only those who committed crimes were sent to the customs outside.
Now the Eight Banners outside the customs have also entered the customs, and a number of criminal officials and their families who have committed crimes and been assigned to the customs have also entered the customs, and only some women and children of primitive tribes are left outside the customs, the old and weak.
Ningguta City, the military and political center of administration north of Shengjing, is located in the city of Ning'an, Heilongjiang Province. Ningguta was originally stationed with more than 2,000 bannermen and more than 3,000 armorers, as well as more than 15,000 Aha people. Peng Chun, the general of the Qing army stationed here, looks like a Han from the name, but in fact he is an out-and-out Manchurian banner.
The more than 2,000 bannermen stationed in Ningguta were all Eight Banner cavalry who were good at riding horses and archery, and they were real Jurchens. The armor people are soldiers whose status is inferior to the banners, and they are people of other nationalities who surrender, and they are divided into horse armor and foot armor, but most of the people in armor are foot armor. Aha is a slave, and Aha here was originally a prisoner and their family members who were sent over from the prison. Now most of the Manchurian Eight Banners have entered the customs, and almost all the bannermen have entered the customs, leaving only one leader, more than 300 bannermen, plus more than 2,000 armored people. Most of the Baoyi Aha who originally consisted of prisoners and their families have also entered the customs, and there are now only more than 3,000 Aha left, most of whom are North Koreans. But later, more than 10,000 Aha were sent, most of them criminals related to the North Korean counterfeit banknote case.
After all, the Qing army only held Ningguta, and there was no need to start a field battle with the Russian army, and the cavalry was useless.
Park Jimin, a North Korean, was cutting wood in the woods by the river, and he was sent to Ningguta in the North Korean counterfeit money case the year before, just because the grain purchase price of foreign merchants was higher than that of the Eight Banners Trading House, and Park Jimin was greedy for cheap and sold grain to foreign merchants. Who knew that all the money given to him by foreign merchants was counterfeit! When it was time to pay taxes, Park Jimin took these counterfeit bills to pay taxes, and as a result, he was tragic, he was beaten with a hundred rods, beaten to the point of flesh, and sent to Ningguta.
Hundreds of ragged North Korean Aha were chopping wood in the cold wind, and around them stood fifty armored men with pigtails and cotton armor, staring at the North Korean prisoners.
Park Jimin cut down a big tree, carried a big log with his companions, and walked with difficulty in the direction of Ningguta City.
The fifty armored men in charge of surveillance didn't follow, because they didn't have to worry about these Ahabs escaping. Where can you escape to the cold and snow? The Aha men wore tattered cotton clothes, and they were guaranteed to freeze to death in the wild for one night at night, and even if they did not freeze to death, the black blind people, brown bears, tigers and wild wolves everywhere were not vegetarians, even if hundreds of Aha escaped, they would have to freeze to death in one night, and a batch would freeze to death the next day, and the rest would become the belly of the beast.
Park Jimin and his companions carried the wood and walked back with difficulty, he walked with a limp, which was the wound left by the beating of a hundred boards the year before last, and it is not well until now.
"Damn Han profiteers! If it weren't for you guys using counterfeit money to deceive us, how would I be here in this hellish place! Park Jimin cursed the Ming merchants who had caused him to come here.
In fact, the people who bought Park Jimin's grain were not real businessmen, they were all agents of the Heaven and Earth Society, who deliberately used counterfeit money to buy grain, which devalued the Daqing dragon banknotes.
Just as Park Jimin was walking back, he suddenly saw countless black shadows suddenly appear on the snow in front of him, and the black shadows raised snowflakes in the sky and galloped towards him at high speed.
"Who is here?" Park Jimin was stunned.
"It seems to be cavalry!" Said the companion.
After a while, the black shadow approached, enlarged in Park Jimin's eyes, and saw that it was a group of vehicles pulled by war horses, one of which had a big red flag hanging on it, and the big flag had a "Ming" character written on it, and a car with a "Zheng" character flag on it.
"Ming? It's a Ming countryman! Park Jimin was taken aback.
"Let's go!" The companion shouted.
The two of them threw down the wood and ran in the direction of Ningguta City. Park Jimin was injured and limped away, quickly falling behind his companions.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Fifty armored men standing outside the jungle shouted.
The hundreds of Aha in the woods were all in chaos, and they all threw down their work, spread their legs, and fled in the direction of Ningguta City. When the fifty men in armor saw that their opponents were strong, they all spread their legs and ran away wherever they dared to fight.
The sleigh of the war horse was accelerating, and soon it rushed up, and it was about to catch up with the armored man and Ahha.
The fifty armored men were still a little bloody, and seeing that they were about to run away, they took out their bows and arrows one after another, and prepared to shoot arrows at the rapidly approaching sleigh. But before the other party could get within range of the bow and arrows, he heard a roaring gunfire from the sled, tongues of fire erupted, and white smoke rose from the sled.
Mini bullets from rifled guns rained down like a rain, and fifty armored men fell into the snow one by one.
After killing the man in armor, the sleigh sprinted straight towards Aha running through the snow. A volley of gunfire followed, and more than 20 Ahabs erupted in blood mist and fell into the snow.
"Don't run! Those who surrender will not die! "There were shouts on the sleigh, in Manchurian and Chinese.
Those North Korean Ahabs who knew they couldn't run away knelt in the snow one after another, holding their heads with their hands. The sleigh carts soon surrounded the North Korean Ahabs.
Park Jimin's companion ran away, but he couldn't run away, after all, the beating the year before was too hard, and as soon as he ran, the old injuries on his buttocks and legs recurred, and there was a piercing pain. When Park Jimin heard the shouts of the Ming army, he also knelt on the ground like other Ahabs, holding his head tightly with both hands. Park Jimin actually understands a little bit of simple Chinese, and because he was assigned to Ningguta, he can also understand a little Manchu.
When the Ming soldiers came up, pointed their knives at these Ahabs, and ordered them to stand up, Park Jimin had time to sneak a look at the Ming army's vehicles, and he found that it was a very strange vehicle, without wheels, and the bottom of the car was two long curved wooden planks.
"Be honest!" A Ming sergeant struck Park Jimin with a scabbard.
Park Jimin was brought to an officer, who looked at him coldly and asked, "Name, place of origin!" What did you do to get here? ”
"Park Ji-min, from Pyongyang, because he came with counterfeit money." Park Jimin replied.
"Humph! Lao Tzu thought it was a Han Chinese! It turned out to be a Koryo stick! The officer snorted.
