When the Northern Expedition Army arrived outside Chenyang City, they first set up camp on the spot and surrounded the city.

The Qing soldiers left behind were less than 10,000. At this moment, everyone knew that they were at the end of their strength. The strong Manchus were about to end their history in the capital they captured.

In order to prevent the barbarians from coming to serve the king, Du Yinxi ordered heavy troops to deploy troops to the north of the city, especially the Korqin tribe still had considerable troops at this time, and it is very likely that they would come back to rescue their relatives.

The Mongolian tribes belonged to the most important Mongolian tribes that had the best relationship with the Qing Dynasty and were also the first Mongolian tribes to turn to the Qing Dynasty.

The Northern Expedition Army's fortifications in the north of the city were extremely deep and had reached the Liaohe area.

Two soldiers were digging the ground and suddenly found a big hole. One of them fell into the hole with a whimper.

"Damn, which bastard who got killed a thousand-slaying digs a big hole here?"

The soldier next to him looked bright and squatted aside and said, "This is probably a beast hole. I heard that the northern border is too cold, and many beasts will dig holes and come out when it is warm. I see that such a big hole is 80% a blind bear. We happened to be here, just waiting for them to come out, and they will kill them and roast them to eat."

"Let's report to the 100-household master first."

The hundred households in the team ordered here, named Gao Yun, were a little moved after hearing their words. Although they did not lack food and grass, they had never eaten something like bear paw.

These people are all from Huguang, and they have never seen such beast caves, and they cannot tell. Fortunately, someone had a sudden inspiration and set up many mechanisms at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the mangrove to fall into the trap. There are some nearby Manchu villages, and these people are all Manchus who invaded this place. It should be noted that this place was the territory of the Han people before. After Du Yinxi arrived, he directly ordered a massacre. Anyway, these people's hands were stained with blood. You must know that millions of Han people in Liaodong were killed by hundreds of thousands of Manchus.

There are almost a large number of Han slaves in the Manchu family here. These people have been plundered from Jifu, Shandong and other places. Now they have been rescued, they are placed in the army and do some logistics work, waiting to win and return home together. With the help of these Han people, they quickly got many hunting mechanisms.

At the order of Gao Baihu, two of his subordinates were sent to hunt the bears. Before leaving, he reminded them that they would not be able to take over the bears themselves if they caught them, otherwise they would not be spared.

The two nodded and bowed, and excitedly came to the big hole to arrange the mechanism.

"Old Li, is your thing OK?"

"Hehe, this thing is kept and will be hung up as soon as it steps on. No matter how big the bear is, it cannot escape. When you are looking at this clip, even the iron palm will be broken for you."

"Don't break the pliers. You should know that the best thing about blind bears is the pair of claws."

"Zhang Ergou, why do you talk so much nonsense? Otherwise, you will come?"

"Hehe, come, come."

The east wind blew to Chenyang City with warmth, but the Qing people inside could not feel the slightest warmth.

The encirclement outside the city was like an iron bucket, with at least 100,000 troops surrounding this place, and more people arrived continuously.

Why did the Manchu Iron Cavalry, which was once invincible in the world, become vulnerable? Da Yu'er couldn't figure out what the weak Han army had experienced and became this invincible army.

If she had the opportunity to ask Hou Xuanyan for advice now, the latter would definitely be very kind to tell him that nothing else was because of money.

"Fan Wencheng asked for a visit."

"Hurry and invite me." Da Yu'er, who was holding Fulin, grabbed the last straw like a drowning blade, and said anxiously.

Fan Wencheng was even more haggard than Da Yu'er. He knew that the people outside the city hated him the most, and then the royal family of the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Ming army outside the city has surrounded us layer by layer. Now, only by defending Shengjing and waiting for the Eight Banners cavalry from all over Manchuria to come for reinforcements can we have the chance to escape."

"I will not escape. I am the descendant of Nurhaci. I will not be chased by the Han people and run away. I will lead the army in person."

Born in the deep palace and being good at women, Xiao Fulin didn't know the cruelty of the world. He thought he was very imposing and shouted loudly, but was pulled down by his mother and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Fan, do we still have troops to serve the king?"

When Fan Wencheng heard this familiar name, he almost burst into tears. Huang Taiji once called him this way.

"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, there are so many warriors in the Qing Dynasty. How could he sit and see Shengjing be surrounded and unable to support him?"

Da Yuer calmed down and shouted, "My son, go to the city with Mr. Fan and guard our Shengjing."

Fan Wencheng shone his eyelids and said, "Empress Dowager, the most important thing in defending the city is to have enough supplies. The subordinates have no power to tie up chickens, cannot open a bow or carry a gun, but they are willing to allocate food and grass to the soldiers guarding the city to ensure that they persist until the arrival of the king's army."

"Okay, okay, it's only when we arrived at this time that we realized that Mr. Fan was the most reliable person to live in. When the Ming army was defeated in the future, we must be appointed Mr. Fan as the king." Da Yuer also offered a price casually, as if the king was like a cabbage on the side of the road.

Fan Wencheng kowtowed, called himself a slave for the first time, and bowed and retreated.

The little emperor was supported by the guards and got his wish to climb to the city tower. However, looking at the dark people under the city, his passion suddenly disappeared, and his legs fell down on the city tower in fear.

The guards around him quickly helped him up. Fulin, wearing armor, looked at the army outside the city with a dull look, and his whole body trembled. He wanted to boost morale, but instead made the Qing soldiers even more desperate.

After Fan Wencheng returned home, he brought an old Han slave to a rockery in the inner courtyard. Then he ran to the inner courtyard and brought his beautiful wife out, as well as his youngest son Fan Chengbin.

When the lady saw an old slave, she covered her mouth and screamed, she was slapped in the face by Fan Wencheng.

"Master?" Fan Wencheng's beautiful wife covered her cheeks with a puzzled look on her face.

"What is it? Lao Lai, dig open the secret passage, it's time to leave."

A strong slave should shout, spit on his hands, rubbed his hands and moved them hard, and a dark hole appeared in front of them.

"Master, is this?" Mrs. Fan covered her cheeks, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and she was filled with surprise.

"Hmph, the cunning rabbit has three holes. Since the Battle of Jingxiang, I have expected that today will be there. For four years, I asked the old lad to stay in Shengjing and dug out a secret passage to the outside of the city. I have already gone to the palace and instigated the little emperor to go to the city tower. Will the empress dowager and the little emperor think of us for a while? They must have been staring at the emperor on the city tower, so we took this opportunity to escape."

Mrs. Fan's slim waist turned and said with a smile on her face: "It's still the master's reputation. I'll go back and clean up the fineness."

Fan Wencheng was furious and slapped her on the butt, shouting: "When is it? I'm still packing up the fine and soft things. The less you bring, the easier it is to escape. Let's go!"

"My jewelry...ahah..."

Mrs. Fan was slapped in the butt again, and reluctantly gave up her softness and followed Fan Wencheng into the tunnel, with her nine-year-old son behind her.

Fan Wencheng turned his head and said to the deadbeat who was still staying outside: "We're leaving now. Everything in the mansion belongs to you. If you are a servant, find a place to hide it. The Ming army will not make things difficult for you."

The old man nodded heavily, with tears on his face, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Master, Madam, Master, take care of yourself all the way."

After entering the authentic Talk, Fan Wencheng led his son and walked in front. Mrs. Fan followed Fan Wencheng nervously and pulled his clothes. It was dark and so dark that she felt nervous. She said as she walked: "Master, our property is so cheap that deadbeat. What should we eat after we go out? And my jewelry..."

"Shut up! Humph, our property has been transported out by me and let Chengyin and Chengmo take care of it. After we go out, the family will reunite and flee north." The authentic Wuqian, Fan Wencheng was also a little nervous and deliberately talked to his wife to boost his courage. Fan Chengyin and Fan Chengmo are his two sons. He had previously been placed in the Hei River Basin in the northern border with the convenience of his position.

"Oh, that old slave knows that our family is empty, so he won't report it to us, right?"

"I have poisoned his food, and he can't survive tonight. Before leaving, I buried explosives under the rockery. When the incense burns to the lead, it will explode and cause fire. At that time, our Fan Mansion is in a sea of ​​fire, and the only deadbeat who knows it is dead, we can hide outside in anonymity for a few years. When the new dynasty is settled in the future, we will return to the Central Plains and build a family with the wealth in our hands."

"Master, you are still great."
