(0709) Frankly speaking, this time Kong Youde and Liu Xingzhi followed Mao Wenlong back to find Xu Xingxia, relying on the courage of young people and the spirit of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. It would be incorrect to say how much they really admired the White Army. In their hearts, they are actually still a little skeptical. Is the White Army really that powerful? Do they really have what it takes to kill the Tartars? What if they encounter a large number of captives?

Even in the battle of Mulan Ji, they were not completely clear about their doubts. Because, they didn't witness the battle process of Mulan Ji with their own eyes. And they are somewhat skeptical about the battles they have not witnessed. Who knows if there's going to be some showmanship in this? In the past, the Ming army also liked to put on a show, making it seem that they were the first in the world and invincible in the world, but as a result, once they really went to the battlefield, they showed their original true colors.

However, after this battle, they no longer had any doubts about the white-clothed army. Because, they not only witnessed the battle of the White Army, but also experienced the fighting style of the White Army. Several of those murderous captives fell under their guns. There is no more real existence in the world.

At the same time that Mao Wenlong got the experience of Han-style rifles, other Ming troops also got the experience of Han-style rifles. Each of them fired at least 20 rounds of ammunition and deeply appreciated the power of the Han-style rifle. Their feelings are actually the same as Mao Wenlong's, that is, from now on, they no longer need to be afraid of Jianyu. No matter how ferocious the Jianyu are, as long as they have a Han-style rifle in hand, they can only be scum! It's not even as good as scum!

Now, the only question is when the White Coats will be able to accept them. That's a terrible question. Looking at Xu Xingxia's attitude, it seems that he has no intention of co-opting them. The white-clothed army and the Ming army used to be two systems, so it's no wonder that Xu Xingxia refused. If there is no way to join the White Army, they will definitely not be able to equip Han-style rifles.

"My lord, we ......" Mao Wenlong asked this question nervously.

"Want to join our White Army?" Xu Xingxia said with a smile.

"Yes......" Mao Wenlong honestly admitted.

"Not this year for the time being, wait for next year. Before the Han-style rifle was officially finalized and produced, only the chasseurs could equip it. Starting next year, Han-style rifles will be equipped in large quantities with various units of the White Army. When the time comes, your chance will come. Next year, I will send someone to evaluate you, and as long as you pass the assessment, you will be a member of the White Army. Xu Xingxia did not hide what Mao Wenlong meant, and said bluntly.

"That's good, it's good." Mao Wenlong and the others immediately relaxed.

Wait a little longer, of course, not a problem. As long as there is a chance to join the White Army.

They're already starting to look forward to it. By next year, they will be able to put on the uniforms of the white-clothed army, armed with Han-style rifles, and run after Jianyu everywhere. They are all secretly telling themselves, Jianyu Xiaoxiang, you are arrogant for the time being, and the master will come to clean you up next year!

...... "Lord Belle, our attack...... It should be slowed down a little......" Bai Keming stood beside Amin and reminded Amin tactfully. In fact, he wanted to tell Amin that our attack had failed. The five Niu Lu Dajin Army, which was originally under Lu Ge's jurisdiction, were almost completely lost. If you continue to entangle, the price paid for the blue flag will be too heavy. Even if it's for the sake of making a show for others, there is no need to pay such a heavy price.

Yangguanbao is a bottomless pit. The muskets of the white-clothed army are indeed a little too powerful. Several Niu Lu's Dajin army was crippled in this way. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it's all true. The warriors of the Dajin Army, who were originally extremely strong, were even more vulnerable than the ants on the ground in front of the muskets of the white-clothed army. If the blue flag is inlaid at the price of five Niu Lu, it can almost wipe out tens of thousands of Ming troops.

Since the release of the Seven Hatreds and the Rising Army, the number of troops lost by the blue flag has not been lost in the hands of the white-clothed army. All the way to the south and the north, all the losses of the blue flag are estimated to be just two Niu Lu. However, in less than half a month, the contact between the blue flag and the white-clothed army has already lost at least seven Niu Lu. If the loss continues at this rate, it will take less than half a year to complete the blue flag.

In the face of such a heavy loss, even an arrogant person like Amin had to temporarily lower his head high. His heart was very bitter. I really didn't expect that the white-clothed army was so powerful. Obviously, it is no longer feasible to continue to attack by force. Xu Xingxia, a cunning guy, obviously set a trap here, waiting for him to fall.

Unless Amin is willing to bury all the troops of the Blue Banner here. However, if the entire blue flag is gone, he Amin will be finished. His only capital against Nurhachi was the blue flag.

Amin frowned and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Bai Keming said bitterly: "It's better to solve it by other means!" ”

Amin's brows furrowed even more. His mood was indeed quite unhappy. The other means mentioned by Bai Keming are nothing more than negotiations, giving ransom, and using money to redeem Babuhai. Or, release the captured hostages and exchange the Babu Sea back. Both of these are common ways for ethnic minorities to exchange hostages.

However, whether it is the former or the latter, Amin is unwilling. Negotiating with Xu Xingxia, I was afraid that the other party would open his mouth and ask for a price. God knows what price the White Army will offer. If the price offered by the White Coats is too high, there is no point in negotiating at all. The Babu Sea is worth a maximum of 300,000 taels of silver. If you need to pay more ransom, I'm afraid that even if Nurhachi comes, you will have to consider other methods.

It's a pity that the white-clothed army should have known Babuhai's identity a long time ago, otherwise, they wouldn't have gone directly to Mulan. Therefore, they will definitely pay the ransom to death. Here, both Amin and Bai Keming guessed wrong. In fact, the white-clothed army really hit by mistake and accidentally caught Babu Hai. But with such a big fish in hand, Xu Xingxia really won't let go easily. How can such a good chip not be put to good use?

As for the exchange of hostages, in Amin's hands, there are no hostages from the White Army at all. The Dajin army captured a lot of Ming troops. If the Ming army is used in exchange, it is estimated that it will not be able to meet Xu Xingxia's requirements. Because, the white-clothed army and the Ming army are not all the way at all. Perhaps, the more Ming troops captured by the Dajin army, the happier the white-clothed army became.

Actually, in this regard, Amin and Bai Keming also guessed wrong. They subconsciously felt that the white-clothed army started as a rebel and was an anti-thief, and it was definitely not all the way with the Ming army. But in Liaodong, on foreign issues, the white-clothed army and the Ming army are fundamentally all the way. After the white-clothed army arrived in Liaodong, the Ming army in various places broke and began to gather to the white-clothed army.

Amin finally thought about it and felt that it was best to continue to attack by force. However, if the offensive continues, the losses of the blue flag are indeed too great. He could not ignore the loss of the blue flag. The blue flag is his foundation, and he can't afford to toss. Regardless of one's tastes, one must think rationally about the cause and effect of the whole thing.

Bai Keming saw that Amin was still hesitating, and said euphemistically: "Lord Belle, let's actually play a front station, listen to the tone of the white-clothed army, and play a role in uploading and disseminating." The final decision is still in the hands of the Great Khan. ”

This is a subtle reminder to Amin that we are here in Yangguan Fort, but we are just making a show for Nurhachi. Since it's a show, don't go too far and get too involved. That doesn't do you the slightest benefit. The Blue Banner lost five cattle at Yangguan Fort, enough to cope with Nurhachi. If there are too many cattle lost under the blue flag, I am afraid that Nurhachi will go berserk. After all, the blue flag also belongs to the Dajin Army, doesn't it?

Amin finally looked into it carefully, and felt that he had indeed done his best, and in Nurhachi, he could barely say it. Let's negotiate and see what price the White Army will offer. Bai Keming is right, this matter ultimately depends on Nurhachi's meaning. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can go for a trip!" ”

Bai Keming agreed.

…… Soon, Xu Xingxia received a report: "My lord, the envoy of Jianyu asks to see you." ”

Xu Xingxia had actually seen Bai Keming's figure in the telescope a long time ago. is also well aware of the purpose of Bai Keming's arrival. It seems that Jianyu has been suppressed and does not want to fight. He put down the binoculars and said quietly, "Let him come!" ”

Zhang Nai turned around and left, and soon brought Bai Keming to Xu Xingxia.

Bai Keming is an alternative person in the blue flag. He didn't have the tough looks of the other Jianlu, they didn't have their rude demeanor, and they didn't have their fierce eyes. He looks more like a literati who has no power to catch chickens. In fact, in the Dajin Kingdom, Bai Keming is indeed a literati. The only thing he lacked was a feather fan.

The blue flag of Commander Amin has always been known for his bravery, and there are many fierce generals and warriors under his command. They are all tendons, brave and resourceful. It is not a problem for them to charge into battle, and it is no problem for them to die generously, but if they use their brains and think of a way, it will be a big trouble. Only this Bai Keming has some brains.

However, Bai Keming, who seems to be a Han person by name, actually has nothing to do with the Han people. He was a pure Jurchen and did not have any Han Chinese blood. Bai Keming's name was also transliterated by himself. He likes the name, thinks it is very imposing, and it is also very in line with the current mainstream of Dajin Kingdom.
