Seeing that the two of them were a little hesitant, Wei Du also continued: "Yes, why don't you rest here for the night first, and then return to Shucheng tomorrow." The more Wei Du and the others persuaded them, the more they felt that something was wrong. At this moment, someone kept flashing by at the door of the big tent, and it seemed that he was still very anxious. There are also people among them, and it seems that there are still people who are wearing the clothes of the former Ming people.

The two of them suddenly "chuckled" in their hearts, glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Could it be that someone from the Ming army has come to surrender, these Manchurians are afraid that we Mongols will go south and want to share their silver." They are now blocking us and not allowing us to go back to report the news, they want to swallow the silver of the Ming army alone. ”

Seeing the situation, the two Mongolian scouts were no longer delayed. After a few polite words with Wei Du and the others, he simply said goodbye and left. When the two Mongols left, they saw two Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers as soon as they came out of the big tent, and hurriedly pushed a man dressed in Han costume into the tent next to him. The Eight Banners soldier was still shouting something, and when he saw the two Mongols coming out, he immediately shut up, and smiled stiffly at the two of them.

The two of them also pretended to be fine, and then walked outside the barracks as if nothing had happened. When the two of them just walked through the tent of the Tibetan Han people just now, they saw the two Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers just now, and they impatiently took one of the Han people to Hilgen's big tent. Seeing this scene, the two were more sure of their conjectures.

After the two of them left the barracks, they didn't care about the darkness, so they immediately beat their horses and galloped towards Shucheng. Thinking that the Ming army now has tens of millions of property in their hands, the two of them suddenly don't feel that there is anything to be afraid of in the night. I just want to go back as soon as possible, and let the prince take everyone over to grab the silver.

Seeing the two Mongolian scouts leaving, Wei Du said happily: "Okay, with such a big bait, the Mongolian Eight Banners will definitely be fooled." Wang Qingdao: "We also have to inform Jiang Chao as soon as possible and let them prepare as soon as possible." When these two Mongol scouts return, it is estimated that it will be dawn. Hearing this news, the Mongolian Tartars must not be able to sit still. I will definitely bring a large army to kill them immediately, but don't wait for them to come, Jiang Chao and they haven't arranged it yet. ”

Wei Du smiled: "Yes, how can you say that Mongolia now has an army of 30,000, and we only have 3,000 people here." With just our people, how many troops can be eaten. Don't be late, the meat is not late and has broken a few of its own teeth. ”

The two of them were happy, but they didn't notice that Hilgen, who was sitting in the coach's position, had already pulled an old face. Seeing that the two of them had no remorse at all, they suddenly said in a deep voice: "I said that the two of you should not be happy first, can you let my son go." ”

Wei Du smiled and said, "Don't worry, old General Hilgen, look at who this is?" As he spoke, Wei Du pointed to the person who had just come in. Hilgen saw that the person in Han costume who had just come in was his son Kasitai. Seeing his son, wearing Han clothes, he looked awkward and funny, he suddenly snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Wang Qing said: "Hilgen, this is your mistake, now we are returning to Daming anyway, His Highness said, as long as it is a person who belongs to Daming." In order to show loyalty, all people have to change their names and wear Han clothes. You see how well Ling Gongzi wears this body, it is not at all what the previous Tartar clothes can show, and I can't see the appearance of a little tartar, but this braid can't be cut, if you grow your hair again, you really have the appearance of our Han people. ”

Wei Du said: "Yes, yes, yes, or take advantage of today to take a Han name, and from now on you will call yourself a Han person." "The current Weidu and Wang Qing are just like the Han people who had just surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Those Han Chinese groveled to curry favor with the Manchurians and turned themselves into nondescript. After occupying the Central Plains with the Manchurians, he looked at the Han people all over the world.

Looking at his nondescript appearance again, he suddenly felt that he would never be able to return to his own people. Everyone looked at themselves with a strange look in their eyes, and everyone knew that they were the scum of the nation. Originally, it was an act of currying favor with aliens, in order to make himself the same as his master. Now it has become evidence of his betrayal of the nation and his ancestors.

Therefore, these people have an inferiority complex in their hearts, and they always feel that they are inferior. But I don't want to be pointed at all the time, and I am ashamed to even go out by myself. So I tried every means to force everyone to change to be the same as myself. thinks that as long as you change your former clansmen into the same as yourself, you can make yourself look less strange.

He also covered up the fact that he betrayed his ancestors, so that others did not remember his betrayal. Now Wei Du and Wang Qing are basically in this kind of mentality, and they always feel a little out of place. If it weren't for the need to let these Eight Banners soldiers ambush the Mongolian Eight Banners here, and then attack Nanjing City. At that time, when they were in Wuchang, Wei Du and Wang Qing asked these people to cut off their braids and change their clothes.

The others have no choice now, but letting Hilgen and Kasitai first take a Chinese name has no effect. Immediately, the two forced Hilgen to choose a name, and Kasitai was also in a hurry for a while. As far as he is concerned, a person who can't even speak Chinese fluently, can still be named there, and immediately looked at Hilgen.

Hilgen didn't know what to call for a while, and he couldn't say anything. When Wei Du saw it, he immediately said: "General Hilgen is a member of the Jueercha clan, and this surname is not easy to change. I think that since you surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, your previous surname was not a big surname, so it is better to use an ordinary surname. Among the 100 surnames of the Han people, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang. Otherwise, just use the surname Zhou. ”

Wang Qingqi coaxed: "I think this surname is good, General Hilgen is called Zhou Muhan, because he admires the big Han, he is named Muhan." That's a good name. Wei Du followed: "Yes, yes, Kaxitai is called Zhou Rutai, which means that our Han nation is as stable as Mount Tai, and we will drive the Manchu Tartars out of the Central Plains as soon as possible." ”

Wang Qing suddenly said: "Good name, good ah, this means good." The two of them only cared about their own boasting, and did not pay attention to the expressions of Hilgen and Kasithai. Hilgen looked at the two, if his son was still being guarded, he would have gone up and fought with Wang Qing by now.

Kaxitai was frightened by Wei Du before, and suddenly said with a smile: "The name is just a title, the names taken by the two generals are very meaningful, and I like them very much, and I will be called Zhou Rutai in the future." Thanks to the two generals for giving their names, there will be Han names in the future. ”

Wei Du laughed and said: "Okay, this is decent, those Manchurians are some barbarians, we must not learn from them." Sooner or later, these barbarians will be defeated by us and driven out of the Central Plains. The Han people's rivers and mountains can only be governed by the Han people, let the barbarians occupy it, what is it, what qualifications do they have to come to the Central Plains to spread wild, and when the time comes, they must pay for their blood debts and blood. ”

Looking at the arrogant Wei Du and Wang Qing, Hilgen was speechless with anger. But he himself was a slave to the Manchurians, and even if he was bullied, he had to swallow his anger. Shirgen suddenly said: "Okay, now that the military situation has been dealt with, we must also make a good arrangement, so as not to let the Mongols see the flaws as soon as they come." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone directly, walked out of the big tent by himself, and Kaxitai, who had just changed his name to Zhou Rutai, also went out. Wei Du and Wang Qing looked at the departing Zhou Rutai father and son, looked at them contemptuously and said, "What is there to cross, it's not the same surrender." You have to have backbone, why didn't you just die in the first place? ”

Although the two were unconvinced, they didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary now. If this operation was disrupted, both of them knew that they would definitely not survive.

Not to mention the intrigue between Wei Du and others in Daguan Town, the two Mongol scouts determined that the Manchurians wanted to monopolize the money of the Han people. ran all the way and rushed back to Shucheng overnight. When they returned to Shucheng, it was already dawn, and the two didn't dare to delay, so they went directly to see Badali. The two of them recounted what they knew.

Badali's eyes widened and he said, "What? Now the Han army in Tongcheng has so much money? One of the scouts said, "Yes, my lord." The Manchurians said that if they weren't short of manpower now, they wouldn't have waited for us at all, and would have attacked the Han people a long time ago. It's just that now the Han people are hiding in Tongcheng, and they can't break through Tongcheng, so they have to wait for our army. ”

The king of Segurengjun on the side said: "How can I listen to it, it seems that the Manchurians let us be cannon fodder?" Will they let such a good thing fall into our hands? It's tens of millions of taels of silver, not anything else. ”

Another scout standing next to him said, "Oh, princes, why don't you believe it? Wherever they are, they are willing to let the money fall into our hands. They don't have that many troops, and they want us to help them attack Tongcheng. ”

Badali suddenly said: "Then we can't go, why should we Mongol men go to them as cannon fodder?" When we were in Wuyang Pass, more than 3,000 Mongolian men had died for the Qing Dynasty. Now they want us to be cannon fodder for them, and they don't necessarily have the silver yet, and even if they do, they won't be the first to share the lion's share. What kind of stubble would you really be Manchurians, they are just as greedy. ”

Seeing that Badali resolutely did not go, the two scouts suddenly became anxious. Said: "Lord Wang, now they don't want us to go." "Huh, what do you mean? Does he want to fight himself? Seeing that the two of them said that the Manchurians didn't want the Mongolian Eight Banners to go to Tongcheng, Badali and Segureng suddenly became curious.

The scout who spoke before said, "It's not that they are going to fight themselves, but now they don't have to fight." Badali said, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" What you said confuses me. ”

The scout hurriedly said: "At first, the Manchurians also hoped that we would go south as soon as possible, and then attack Tongcheng. But then they suddenly changed their minds, and they wanted to drag this army south. They also want to keep us in their barracks for one night, and then come back to report to the prince. ”

Another scout said: "Yes, we saw that the situation was not right, so we hurried back and informed the prince to hurry south." Otherwise, all the money and property of the Han people would have been embezzled by the Manchurians. ”

Seeing that both of them were a little anxious, Badali was even more confused. Is this still your own scout? Why did you still help the Manchurians to pit their own family?

The previous scout said, "The reason why the Manchurians didn't let us come back was because we found the Ming army in their barracks, as if they had come to ask them to surrender." Seeing that we were going to find out, they were still in a hurry to hide. ”

Badali was taken aback and said, "What? They have actually contacted the people of the Ming army, why do they still let us go to them as cannon fodder? Another scout said: "Lord Wang, the general of the Manchurians originally asked our Mongol army to go south immediately, but it was after the Ming army appeared. The Manchurians told us not to urge the prince's army to go south immediately, and wanted us to come back tomorrow. ”
