When Xing Chaoxi entered Jinzhou City from the south gate, the defeated troops in the city had been almost eliminated, leaving only some deeply hidden troops.
However, Jinzhou City has been captured, and the broken soldiers hidden in the city will soon be cleared out, especially the Jurchen soldiers, who are more difficult to hide than the Han soldiers.
"Deputy Commander, one of the captains below discovered Na Hai, but unfortunately he was beaten to death by a firecracker." Zhao Wu, who accompanied Xing Chaoxi into Beiyu Mansion, said at the side.
After hearing this, Xing Chaoxi said: "Nahai is the Guarjia family, right?"
"Yes, I heard that he is the son of Fei Yingdong, the founding minister of the pseudo-golden state." Zhao Wu said.
As the defender of Jinzhou City, Nahai's identity has long been known to Tiger Character Banner.
Xing Chaoxi said: "If you die, just die. It won't be of much use to us if we catch such a fake gold noble. It is impossible for other members of the Guarjia clan to sell fake gold for a Nahai."
"How to dispose of the body?" Zhao Wu asked.
Xing Chaoxi thought for a while and said: "This Nahai's hands are stained with the blood of us Han people. His head was cut off and hung on the city wall, and his body was buried anywhere."
"Okay, I'll tell the people below to take care of it." Zhao Wu nodded in agreement.
When the Tiger Character Banner attacked Jinzhou City, a group of troops went to Shiheyi.
The Puppet King did not believe that the Ming army was still capable of counterattacking from Lushun, so there were not many guards arranged for a small place like Shiheyi, and most of the guards here were Han soldiers, with only a dozen Jurchen soldiers, headed by A Jurchen plotted against him.
In Ming terms, he is a centurion. He has a lower status than Niulu Ezhen, but a higher status than ordinary Jurchen soldiers.
Naturally, Shiheyi also received news about the siege of Jinzhou City.
Shiheyi is one hundred and twenty miles away from Fuzhou, but it is very close to Jinzhou City. The Jurchen Muke immediately put Shiheyi on guard.
There is a village near Shiheyi. Except for a few Jurchens, most of the villagers are Han Chinese.
These Han people were slaves of the Jurchen Muke in Shiheyi. They usually farmed, fished and hunted for the Jurchens, and most of the things they obtained had to be handed over to the Jurchen Muke.
"Go and inform Mou Ke that the tiger thief is here."
Shiheyi was a post station. Later, because the Jurchens were arranged to take over the nearby villages, a Jurchen plotter was arranged here.
A Han soldier guarding Shiheyi hurriedly asked someone to go to the village to notify the Jurchens.
At this time, a person next to him said: "There is no Muke in the village. When the Great Khan sent troops to the grassland, Muke and half of the men in the village were taken away."
"It's over, it's all over now."
Hearing this, the Han soldiers sat down on the ground with a mournful face.
The people in the village are old, young, or just a group of women. What can they use to resist the invading enemies?
"Why are you crying? Why don't you go to the village and call someone?" the man said again.
The Han soldiers who heard this looked at each other in confusion and said, "Didn't you say that Muke was taken to the grassland by the Khan and came back?"
"I'm not telling you to go find Muke. There are still a few older Jurchens in the village. They used to fight with Lao Khan. There must be a way. You go quickly." The man urged.
The Han soldiers hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the nearest village in Shiheyi.
In the place occupied by counterfeit gold, Jurchens live in every village, and the Han people in the entire village must be managed by the Jurchens living in the village.
If they meet up in the same village as Niulu'erzhen, then these Han people will all be slaves of the other party.
Although Niu Lu'erzhen did not live in the village of Shiheyi, there was a Mou Ke who lived here, so all the Han people in the village were slaves of this Mou Ke.
One of the best houses in the village is Mooke's home.
Before the slave thieves occupied Jinzhou, the best house in the village was the home of a scholar. Later, after the scholar died, a slave thieves Muke moved in.
The village also learned about the siege of Jinzhou City.
However, the old and young in the village had no place to escape, and the few Jurchen old men sitting in the village did not think that the Tiger Character Banner could capture Jinzhou.
They believed that Jinzhou City was guarded by their Jurchens, which was different from Lushun City, which was guarded by the Ming army.
They are very confident in holding Jinzhou City.
The reason why they are so confident is that the Ming army failed too many times in front of the slave thieves. Except for defending the city, they almost never defeated the slave thieves.
This also gave many Jurchens the illusion that Mingren could not defeat them, especially the Jurchens at the bottom. Almost everyone thought so.
Even if the tiger-character flag has defeated the slave soldiers several times.
But these few victories were either small-scale battles, which made the Jurchens feel that they were bullying the few with more, or they were taking advantage of Haili.
In short, more low-level Jurchens do not think that the Tiger Character Flag is much more powerful than the Ming Army.
The Han soldiers who came to report the news ran to the door of Mou Ke's house in the village, raised their hands and slapped the door knocker hard.
After a few beatings, someone in the yard said something Jurchen, and soon the courtyard door was opened, and an old Jurchen man with gray braids walked out from behind the door.
"No, it's not good, the tiger thieves are coming." Han Bing said urgently.
This Jurchen old man can understand Chinese.
His brows immediately wrinkled and he said: "Why are you panicking? Let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses are coming?"
"A lot of people are coming, thousands of them." Han soldiers replied.
The Jurchen old man looked thoughtful, and after a while he said: "Immediately worry about all the men in the village, and gather at the entrance of the village immediately. If anyone doesn't come, the amount handed in this year will be doubled."
The Han soldiers turned around and ran to spread the message.
The Jurchen old man turned around and walked towards the main house. As soon as he reached the door of the outhouse, he saw a woman coming out.
The woman looked at the Jurchen old man's gloomy face and asked, "Who came just now? Why did his face turn sour after just one meeting?"
"Where is my knife? Where did you put it?" the Jurchen old man asked.
The woman who heard this frowned and said, "Didn't the son take the knife away? There is no knife at home."
Because the tiger-character flag interrupted Shanxi merchants and gave them fake gold, the fake gold and ironware became increasingly scarce.
People like them only have one weapon and one piece of armor at home, both of which were trophies obtained on the battlefield.
This time the son went to the battlefield and was taken away by his son.
The Jurchen old man turned around and walked towards the woodshed.
When he came out of the woodshed, he had a hatchet in his hand.
"What's going on?" The woman noticed something was wrong and asked anxiously.
The Jurchen old man tested the blade on the hatchet with his finger, and said: "The tiger thief is coming towards Shiheyi. He probably cannot take Jinzhou City and is ready to attack Shiheyi."
"How many people are coming? Can Shiheyi be defended?"
This woman is not a woman from a wealthy Ming family who stays close to home. She also grew up in the mountains and forests. The man she later married often went to the battlefield, and now her son has also gone to the battlefield.
Her nerves are tougher than those of ordinary Akito women, and she can even pick up a knife and fight to the death if necessary.
