The morale of his subordinates has fallen, and the grain and grass are about to run out, Li Guoying is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so he took the Shanxi Green Camp to break through that night. Due to the north, there was a rugged and difficult no-man's land, and Deng Ming was limited by the number of troops and could not deploy a defensive line there, so the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the governor of Shaanxi, and the green camp of Shanxi had a full meal, and set off in a hurry.

Seeing that a large number of soldiers of the Green Battalion did not wear armor or auxiliaries, but only carried dry food and weapons and left, the strong men immediately understood that this was the main force to abandon them. For a while, there was an uproar in the camp, and many Shanxi strong men cried and pounced on them, begging the armored soldiers to take them with them - although they are always oppressed on weekdays, but after all, this is their own people, if they fall into the hands of the Ming army, who knows what will happen? Just thinking about what happened to them after being captured, these grain transport soldiers who had worked hard to rush from Shanxi and Shaanxi all shuddered.

But every unarmored soldier who pounced on him was ruthlessly kicked away, and Wang Mingde, Hu Wenke and others had already prepared, rushed out with a large number of heavily armed armored soldiers, and arrested the troublemakers back to the camp. The Qing troops standing on the walls of the battalions were also unrelenting, and anyone who dared to approach the camp wall would shoot down with arrows.

Leaving the camp where the crying shook the sky, Li Guoying did not dare to delay any longer, and marched to the north at full speed. In the middle of the night, the crying behind me was still faintly audible.

"Deng thief uses soldiers, it's just that." Seeing that there were no Ming troops around to intercept him, Li Guoying breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of retreat will inevitably cause great chaos in the hearts of the army, and even the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi cannot avoid the unarmored soldiers falling into chaos: "If Deng Ming is camped nearby, how can my generation get out so easily?" ”

When Li Guoying accompanied Zuo Liangyu and they were chased by the camp, that kind of painful experience was really unforgettable. If Li Guoying dares to break through the siege in such a big way, he is guaranteed to be chased and killed. And at that time, the broken troops were far from being able to compare with Wang Mingde's performance today, the Ganshan Green Battalion that stayed in the camp was calm and firm, and its morale was like a rainbow, not only did not escape with anyone, but also meticulously maintained good military discipline. Wang Mingde and Hu Wenke's performance in this great change made the Shanxi generals who fled with Li Guoying all shocked, and their hearts were both admired and sad, they not only felt sorry for the self-sacrificing Wang Zongbing, but also knew that the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi must also be very sad at this moment, such loyal and brave subordinates are absolutely available but not sought - the generals of the Sichuan and Shaanxi green battalion are like this, sure enough, the elite of the Qin army is the best in the world, it can be seen that Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries by luck alone, the millennium is fleeting, and the discipline is still the same, Today's performance of the Qin army is enough to change the color of the wind and clouds, and the grass and trees are sad.

Walking at night, there were not a few people who broke their feet and fell and were injured, and the Qing army that broke through ignored these wounded, leaving them all to the wild beasts in the mountains, only caring about the stuffy head and rushing north.

"How far has the Doge gone?" Wang Mingde, Hu Wenke, and the Manchurian Commanders stood side by side against the camp wall, looking forward to the north.

Originally, Hu Wenke was just a new guerrilla, and he couldn't compare with Wang Mingde in terms of official rank and status, let alone with Manchuria, but the three of them were once captured by Deng Ming together, and they could be regarded as forming a deep friendship.

"Do you remember the expression on Governor Deng's face when he talked about the Governor, Admiral Zhang, and General Zhao?" The Manchurian capital recalls the scene of the last time he met Deng Ming. Obviously, at that time, even if Deng Ming did not hate these people, he regarded them as great enemies, and he would want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Therefore, after hearing that Li Guoying was going to break through the siege, the Manchurian capital made up his mind not to go with Li Guoying, and would not agree to leave Daniel Zhang behind

"Remember, remember." Hu Wenke nodded again and again, he felt that Li Guoying didn't seem to have gone far, at least not yet left a safe distance: "Wait a little longer, we will go to Admiral Deng's camp tomorrow." ”

"It's not too late to go tomorrow." The Manchurian Metropolitan nodded and praised Hu Wenke's composure. The governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi must break through successfully, otherwise the imperial court will definitely blame him, and even a strict interrogation of the course of this battle will be a big trouble.

"And those who have been left behind?" Hu Wenke asked again: "Did you send someone to find them back?" It can also be sold together to Admiral Deng. ”

Wang Xincheng's envoy had already come to Li Guoying's camp, and when the generals of the Ganshan Green Battalion heard about it, there was such a good thing: not only could they redeem their own soldiers, but they could also make a profit! In that case, who is willing to work hard? Like Li Guoying and Yuan Zongdi, these generals attach great importance to their own soldiers and armor, and they really don't care about unarmored soldiers. The court is rich all over the world, but is it still worried that it can't pull strong men? That is, for the imperial court, as long as there is no need to reallocate the armor and there is no loss of a large number of combatants, no matter how much the strong men lose, they will not feel distressed, anyway, when they are sent to transport grain, they have made up their minds to use them as consumables. After this expedition, the corpses of the dead auxiliary soldiers could be seen everywhere between Chongqing and Zhongxian, and no big man would ever blink an eye at this.

"No!" Wang Mingde is not greedy, he feels that the goods in his hand are enough, how many of those Shanxi green camps can be left behind? Spending time on search and rescue not only delays time, but also may cause the unarmored soldiers of the search and rescue team to take the opportunity to escape: "There will be damage if you break through, and if you can run away half of such a difficult road, it will be the emperor's blessing." ”

……

Early the next morning, Wang Mingde and others, who were sure that Li Guoying had fled far away, were in full swing to go to Deng Ming to "negotiate peace".

"Of course, the Han people are unreliable, so it still depends on us emperor's servants at the critical moment." The Manchurian capital was very impressed with this, but he taught his subordinates that they must deeply realize that although their behavior was no different from Wang Mingde on the surface, it was fundamentally different: "They don't know who Admiral Deng is, so this is called a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, and they live up to the grace of the imperial court." And we're not, we're just not willing to interfere in our master's family affairs. Everywhere is the master, and those of us who are slaves are caught in it and it is difficult to be people, so we have to help each other. ”

Although there were a lot of rumors about Deng Ming's life experience, the garrison of the Eight Banners did not spread outward, and after a while, the Manchurian capital pointed to Wang Mingde, who had been prepared in the distance, and secretly said to the people around him: "See? Admiral Deng has a deep meaning. ”

In addition to squatting down to surrender with his head in his hands, Deng Ming also began to demand that the Qing army adopt the proper etiquette of surrender or peace, in short, requiring them to hold white flags to indicate their intention to negotiate. Not long ago, Deng Ming explained this set of rules to Wang Xincheng very seriously, and then Wang Xincheng's personal soldiers quickly reported it to Wang Mingde and others. In the distance of Manchuria, the flagpoles of Wang Mingde and Hu Wenke have been replaced by two large square white flags.

"Let's put it on too." The Manchurian capital also prepared an identical white flag, and in the final analysis, he still couldn't trust these Han people, so he also had to participate in the "peace negotiation", so as not to be sold by Wang Mingde and the piglets.

"But it's not a white flag."

Listening to the commander's reminder, most of the Manchurian soldiers showed expressions of sudden realization, but there were still a few Leng boys who were still creating problems, and they pointed out that the white flag should be a pennant, not this rectangular style. This kind of white flag looks very similar to the shape of Deng Ming's mahjong flag.

"Shhhh The commander was dissatisfied and stopped his subordinates from questioning loudly, and then scolded angrily: "Admiral Deng is still hiding his identity now, he is still in the Ming army, don't you need to cover it up?" Of course, you have to use the square flag, do you think the master is like your pig brain? ”

……

Last night, the sentinel said that the Qing army camp seemed to be a little chaotic, but because Deng Ming refused to pay for the people to carry out the military task of night raids, the Ming army was limited to the limited number of troops and could only wait. After dawn, Deng Ming sent several groups of reconnaissance troops, and at the same time carefully interrogated the sentinels who returned to the camp report, and at this moment suddenly the guards reported that a group of Qing army generals came to the camp gate with white flags.

Climbing the camp wall and taking a look, Deng Ming recognized his two old acquaintances, as well as the Manchurian who had a relationship with him.

"It seems that Li Guoying has run away." Deng Ming ordered the camp gate to be opened and invited Wang Mingde and them into the Chinese military tent for tea.

"It is good to teach Admiral Deng that there are now 62,000 unarmored soldiers in our military camp, all of whom are strong men from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and there are absolutely no old or weak." After taking a sip of tea, Wang Mingde went straight to the point and expressed his intentions: "The terms of our peace agreement are as follows: first, Admiral Deng will not capture all the armored soldiers, including the Manchurian soldiers, and all the officers and soldiers will total 5,377 people, and we guarantee that Governor Li and Admiral Zhang are not among them; Second, if we do not take away our armor, weapons, and banners, whether a person has two swords, two sets of armor, or two horses, he can take them all; thirdly, to provide us with twenty large ships, and to allow us to keep five hundred sailors or lend us enough sailors that we may return to Chunking safely, and not attack us for fifteen days; Fourth, when our army rations were exhausted, Admiral Deng was responsible for giving us enough food for 5,000 officers and soldiers for fifteen days, without charging any additional money; Fifth, we should be paid a total of 5,000 release coupons valid for life, and we should pay 2,500 coupons, and the rest should be settled in silver taels. ”

"Do you know how to fly swords and pass books? It's still Vice General Wang's subordinates who are so effective, and they actually speak so clearly! Deng Ming laughed dumbly after hearing this, and he realized for the first time that it might not be a good thing to let Wang Xincheng's henchmen report the news: "Why do I want to give you so many things?" ”

"Because the 62,000 captives are worth 12,000 and 400 cattle, in addition to the needs of our 5,000 officers and soldiers, there should be more than 5,000 release coupons left, and the boats, armor, and food are the discounts given to us by Admiral Deng." Wang Mingde replied confidently, with a look on his face, "I know the market very well, don't try to deceive me and don't understand." Expression.
