"Come out! There are more of us than you. Put down your weapons and don't kill!" When Funyan'a was still in extreme shock, a young voice speaking Manchu sounded from the opposite side.

"Who are you?! How dare you kill officers and soldiers!" Funyanga said loudly.

"You are not the first, nor the last. You have no way out. Surrender, we will treat the wounded."

"Fart!" Funyan'a was furious. "You have almost killed all my men. Who are you kidding?!"

"Isn't there a panting guy? You don't care whether he lives or lives?"

Funyan'a turned his head to look at the man with the arrow in his abdomen, and saw that he was leaning against a tree, groaning miserably, breathing weakly. Just as Funyan'a was struggling, he heard a "cang", followed by

A very familiar voice came over.

"Hero, spare your life! Villain is willing to surrender!"

"Irahan!" Funyan'a didn't expect that his most astute subordinate was still alive.

"Put your hands up, hold your head in your hands, and come out!" the man opposite shouted sternly.

Funyan leaned over and looked from the side of the rock, and saw Irahan walking out from behind the big tree with his hands raised and his head in his hands.

"The man with the bow and the musketeer, where are you two?" The Manchu voice sounded again. "Stop dragging your feet, there are more of us than you. Hurry up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the musketeer hiding behind the tree shouted: "I am willing to surrender, too!" After saying that, he also threw out the blunderbuss in his hand.

Seeing that things had come to this, Funyanga let out a long sigh and threw the bow and arrow out of his hand helplessly. Then he stood up and raised his hands, and then imitated Irahan and held them on his head.

A quarter of an hour later, Funyan's three people were tied up with five-flowered ropes, kneeling on the ground, looking up at the sneak attackers in front of them. By now they already knew that there were ten people in total.

These people wore straw hats made of branches on their heads and strange colorful clothes. Even half of their faces were covered with a black and green cloth, so they could not see their faces clearly. In addition to holding a hand in each of their hands, these people

In addition to the weird short black blunderbuss, he also carried a long, weird-shaped bird blunderbuss on his back.

The three of Funyan'a looked at each other and thought to themselves that no wonder they hadn't noticed them for a long time. They were just dressed like this and hiding in the bushes. As long as they stayed still, they wouldn't be noticed at all.

As for the man who can speak Manchu, he and another man are currently treating the armored soldier who was shot in the abdomen by an arrow. The man asked his injured men: "The life is long enough. If I were here, all of you would be dead."

I can’t live. What’s your name?”

"Ah, ah, Alin." The wounded soldier's face was pale at this moment, and a heavy cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"Oh, how many people are in your family?"

"Six!" The armored soldier named A Lin screamed, and the arrow on the right side of his abdomen was violently pulled out by another man.

"Okay, after applying medicine and bandaging, it should be fine. Let's check again when we return to Fuldan City."

"Fuldan City!" Funyan'a was shocked. He shouted to the man and asked: "What happened to Fuldan City?! Who are you?!"

The man turned around and looked at Funyan'a, pulled off the cloth on his face, exposed his big yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Of course Fuldan City is occupied by us. As for who we are, you will know when we get there.

Already."

Funyanga looked at the other party's vaguely identifiable appearance in surprise, and asked tentatively: "Are you a bannerman?"

"I'm from Kurgazi." The man said disdainfully. Then he took out the strange short blunderbuss and pointed it at Irahan's head, pushed away the battering ram, and asked: "Give you a chance, won't you?"

If you say so, I'll blow your head off."

"Hero, spare your life! I must tell you!" Irahan knew that the weapon in the opponent's hand was powerful. After the sound like exploding beans just now, he saw with his own eyes that a big hole was punched in the head of one of his companions.

"How many troops are behind you?"

"I don't know the exact number of people. But I heard that including us, Agui Zhongtang sent a total of more than 200 people."

"Are they all going to Fuldan City?"

"No, our team is here to check the road conditions along the post road. The others are going to the Xila River." Ilahan poured the beans into the bamboo tube and vomited them all.

As the man listened, his expression became more and more solemn. He turned to the person behind him and said, "Dingci, we need to go back and report this matter as soon as possible."

"yes."

Funyan'a realized something in his heart and suddenly said loudly: "Are you the Oros people from the Sira River?"

"Hey! Do you know this too? Tell me what else do you know?"

When Funiya saw the man turning to look at him, he glared and asked, "Even if you are from Kurkaqi, you are still from Yiche Manchuria. How can I, the people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, be the weaklings of the barbarians?"

! Your ancestors have been disgraced!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the spittle from his mouth sprayed onto the man's face.

In the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Funiyang's great-grandfather died in battle at the gates of Yaksa; so he had not had a good impression of the Oros people since he was a child.

The man wiped the saliva on his face with his hand, squatted down and stared at Funyan'a fiercely and said: "Which of your eyes saw me working for the Oros people? I am from Beihai Town! If it weren't for you guys

The dog officers and soldiers insist on arresting my Ama, and now I even have a wife!"

Funiyang'a's heart was shaken, and he immediately remembered the incident in Hunchun last year, which was very popular at the time. He looked carefully at the face of the man opposite him, and there was not a single wrinkle on his forehead under the oil paint.

"You, you are Seldan's son?!"

That man was Serdan's son Erlu.

Starting from May 15th, Serdan and Elu each led a small team and set off westward. A dozen days later, when they reached the Shufan River, a fork of the Suifen River, the two teams separated.

Dan's goal is Hunchun. His team will go south from the middle reaches of the Shufan River, cross the mountains and enter the Jurhe River Basin, and then reach it by going down the river. On the Elu side, they will go west along the Suifen River and cross the river.

Daling, go straight to Ninggu Pagoda. In addition to spying on the military deployment of the Qing army, these two teams also have a very important task of catching tongues.

It's a coincidence that just now, Elu was hiding in a tree to observe the two official ships. Unexpectedly, Funiya and the others bumped into them. Seeing that they couldn't escape, they had no choice but to start a fight. Otherwise

He saw that his men had been shot in the thigh and were unable to move. None of Funyanga and the others would survive.

After Erlu finished speaking, he stood up and patted the dirt on his butt, and said to the person behind him: "Sadaji, you take Heiji and Jubei, escort the four of them back, and the rest follow me. Damn it

, I’ve spent the whole morning here.”

While talking, several team members had retrieved all the war horses scattered around, and brought their own horses from a distance. Elu left a dozen horses at a time, and he took them with him.

He followed the remaining team members all the way to the west.

A few days later, in the early morning, Elu and his group of seven finally arrived near a village twenty miles away from the old city of Ningguta.

This is the hometown of Sushen. After the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, it was the seat of Longquan Prefecture in Shangjing, the capital of the Bohai Kingdom. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the residence of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the capital of the Nurgan capital Siwoji.

According to "Chronicles of Ninggu Pagoda" written by Wu Zhenchen of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that there were six brothers in the past, each living in one place. In Manchu, "six" is called Ninggu, and "one" is called pagoda. So although Ninggu Pagoda is

There is a pagoda in the name, but in fact there is no pagoda.

This place "looks to Changbai in the south, around Longjiang in the north, the heroic area of ​​Yunbiancheng, and the imperial village of Zhuangjintang". It also leads to Nuore, Kurkaqi, Solon, Qiyala, Banjierhanfeyaka, and Hezhe.

Feyaka, Kuhaye, Feyaka, Qiler and other tribes must pass through. It was the most important military strategic location north of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty.

Ningguta City in the Qing Dynasty had two cities, the old and the new, fifty miles apart from the east to the west. The old city was located east of the Songhua River and on the south bank of the Hualan River. In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Nurhachi once stationed troops here. In the fifth year of Kangxi, another city was located in Hu.

A new city was built five miles southwest of Jueluo City on the Erha River (Mudanjiang).

Elu climbed up a big tree, took out his telescope and looked to the north. All he could see was the endless fields. At this time, in the village not far away, the smoke had already risen, and the barking of dogs in the village could be vaguely heard.

.

Elu watched for a while, then quietly slipped down from the tree, turned around and climbed over a mountain pass. His team members and horses were all staying in the dense forest deep in the mountain col.

"Captain, how are you?" Several team members saw Elu coming back and stood up and asked.

"You guys can't get through, so I have to go alone." After Elu said that, he walked to his horse and took off a big baggage from the horse. After opening it, it was full of people's clothes: a half-used

A sheepskin waistcoat, a jacket, a pair of trousers and a pair of homespun shoes. In addition, there is a belt and a belt.

These clothes are what he wore before. And his braid is still there and has not been cut. This is what Zhao Xin told him, don't cut it yet, because he may need it later.

Elu first changed his clothes, then took out a razor from the bag on his horseback. He walked to the stream, poured some water on his hair that had grown more than an inch long, and asked other team members to help him shave his head clean.

.

After dressing up, Elu put on his robe and said to the other team members: "Wait here. I will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Half an hour later, when Elu passed by a courtyard in the village, an old man opened the door and walked out. He looked at Elu's face and asked in Manchu: "Haha (a man is called in Manchu),

Where did you come from?"

When Elu saw it, he quickly stepped forward to hold the old man's hand and replied with a smile: "Mafa, I am from Taining Village in Shangjian River. I went to the city to visit relatives."

"Oh. That's not close."

"Yes, I came out right after dark and have been walking all day."

"Come in and have a drink of water. It's still more than seventy miles from here to the city."

"Hey." Elu nodded in agreement, and he and the old man entered the yard.

In Ningguta in this era, except for the exiles, the local residents lived a relatively prosperous life. The local banner people and natives never took any money with them when they went out, and they could eat and stay as they pleased when passing by households on the way. And when every household met a guest staying, no matter they knew him or not

, all of which are like "there is green grass for horses, and millet for guests." We take care of the food, lodging, and fodder for the horses, without taking any penny. The people are simple and honest.

The old man saw that Elu had a strong figure and a simple and honest face, and he liked him in his heart. While drinking water and smoking a dry cigarette, the old man started chatting.

"Mafa, this is my first time going back to the city. I heard it's very lively there."

"Well, a lot of officers and soldiers have come outside the city recently. I heard they are going to the east to fight the Oros. You have to be careful when you enter the city and don't collide with the officers."

"Ah! How many people are here?"

"I can't tell. The family in the front yard just came back from the city yesterday and said that there were thousands of people in the camp outside the city."
