Bumu Butai does have the meaning of protecting Dolgon.

After all, the edict of marriage had been sent to Dolgon, and nominally Bumubutai had become Dolgon's wife.

It's just that the edict is not made public.

No matter how Bumu Butai is, he will not think of blaming Dolgon because of the unfavorable war, in fact, as long as Dolgon does not rebel, Bumu Butai can tolerate any arrogance of Dolgon, and he will also do a good job to protect Dolgon for the rest of his life.

After all, it's a woman, and at this time, Bumu Butai, in addition to protecting his son Fulin, has a second man who needs to be protected.

This is probably extremely ironic, because not so long ago, the two were actually hostile in terms of political enemies.

……。

Ninghai Prefecture is subordinate to Dengzhou Prefecture.

At this time, from the east of Ninghaizhou, Weihaiwei and Chengshanwei in the north, and Jinghaiwei in the south, including Zhuwei, such as Jinshan Zuo, Baiqi Yahou, Haiyang, etc., were already under the control of the Seven Righteous Army.

It was definitely not a situation in which the civil unrest was under control, as the Qing court knew.

In fact, the eastern half of Dengzhou Mansion is no longer under the control of the Qing court.

The reason why the Qing court was kept in the dark was because Qian Qiaogong was the commander of the rebellion, and the military and government of Laizhou and Dengzhou were all temporarily managed by Qian Qiaogong.

Qian Qiaogong was near Fushan, and after defeating the rebel army of the Seven Divisions in the First Battle, he asked the prisoners to be interrogated, and then contacted Yu Qi.

Half of it is deterrence, and half of it is also Yu Qiben's anti-Qing Dynasty, and in this situation, the two sides hit it off.

Qian Qiaogong promised Yu Qi that the spear cavalry battalion would not advance eastward and provide some grain and grass for the people's army.

Yu Qi listened to the order to the east to level all the guards and garrisons.

The spear cavalry battalion slowly "drove away" the people's army to the east, and the people's army happened to move against the guards and Qing troops in the east.

Since then, the rebels have clearly become traitors, but in fact, they have become pawns in the hands of Qian Qiaogong.

The spear battalion was added behind the Qing court, and the number was not large, only 3,000 people, all the soldiers were from the Liangjia of the Han people in Gyeonggi, and there were no full officers to settle in, which provided convenience for Qian Qiaogong's private movements.

And Qian Qiaogong's blockade of news from the north and south battlefields from Ninghaizhou to Haiyang made Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Dengzhou, only listen to Qian Qiaogong's notice and report to the imperial court, naturally the performance of the two sides is exactly the same.

In addition, Dengzhou was originally a corner of the sea hanging in the sea, and the surrounding area was all sea, and only the west side was connected to Laizhou Mansion.

As a result, half of Dengzhou was in fact controlled by the righteous army, to be precise, controlled by Qian Qiaogong, while the Qing court was deeply kept in the dark.

In the fierce fighting of the past few months, the casualties of the people's army were very large, and because it was inconvenient for Qian Qiaogong's troops to participate in the battle, the people's army only relied on crude weapons to fight, but fortunately, there were not many garrisons in each guard station, five or six hundred for the largest, and only more than 100 for the small ones.

Only then was it swept away by the civilian army.

Qian Qiaogong knew that only the rations of the 3,000 spear cavalry battalion could not supply this civilian army, which still numbered more than 10,000 people.

So he secretly sent someone to cross the sea from Haiyang to Wusong to report the news, hoping to get Wu Zheng's support.

However, what Qian Qiaogong couldn't predict was that an accident happened unstoppably.

Ninghai Prefecture Chengzhou Yazhong.

Qian Qiaogong and Yu Qi sat face to face.

"Lord Qian, how many days have passed since this, why haven't the reward envoys and food supplies of the King of Huiji County come yet?" Yu Qi glared at Qian Qiaogong with a gloomy face, "Yesterday, Jinghaiwei, the last guard of the Qing army in the east, was captured by our department, more than 500 people, and more than 2,000 horses and horses of our department were damaged, do you know why there are so many casualties?" The brothers are all hungry and fighting...... Lord Qian, you can't be lying to me, are you? ”

Qian Qiaogong shook his head calmly and said: "Yu Qi, there is no need to coax you, you should know that at this time, there is a fierce battle between the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the prince may not be in Wusong, and it is normal for the messenger to delay for a few days...... Rest easy, there will be news in two days. ”

With a "snap", Yu Qipai got up.

Pointing at Qian Qiaogong and said angrily: "I shouldn't believe you, if it drags on like this, everyone will starve to death." ”

Qian Qiaogong sighed lightly: "Will I need to coax you?" If it is to be detrimental to you and the people's army, as long as the general gives an order, you can defeat your troops within three days, so why bother? ”

Yu Qiyi was stunned, but quickly pointed his finger and said angrily: "But what you promised has not been fulfilled for a long time, and the promised military rations ......." ”

"Yu Qi!" Qian Qiaogong said in a deep voice, "It's a matter of confidentiality, the rations I gave you before were all saved by me from the soldiers, you know this very well...... If the deduction is too much, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide from people. Although the generals are all Han Chinese, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will report to the Qing court for various reasons, and at that time, not only will the civilian army not be able to protect it, but even my life will be difficult to protect. ”

This is actually true, the soldiers of the spear cavalry battalion under Qian Qiaogong are from the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and the families of the soldiers are under the control of the Qing court.

This is also the reason why Qian Qiaogong's department has always kept a distance from the Seventh People's Army.

I have to say that Qian Qiaogong has the ability to lead troops, but there are still some deficiencies in governance.

In fact, this matter doesn't have to be so complicated, his spear cavalry battalion directly "flattened" Yu Qibu, as for how many people were killed, it was not a matter of Qian Qiaogong's words?

It's a pity that Qian Qiaogong is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and his heart is soft.

He thought that the people's army was anti-Qing and that the enemy's enemies were friends, so he wanted to protect this team, so he took the risk and made such an unobtrusive decision.

In fact, this kind of deception can be concealed from the Qing court for a while at most, and it will definitely not be concealed for a long time.

Just imagine, even if all the Qing troops in the eastern part of Dengzhou are annihilated, the people will always be there, right?

As long as there is a big-mouthed person who goes out of the state mansion, this matter will be cleared.

If Shen Zhiyuan was here, he would never make such a passive decision, with Shen Zhiyuan's personality of "victory always has to pay the price", he directly exterminated the Seventh Division, and then selected suitable soldiers from the captives to supplement and expand, and finally patted his ass and returned to Beijing to receive a reward, how much trouble would it be easier?

Yu Qi said with a calm face: "But my people only have one day's rations today, and they will have to starve from tomorrow, and if there is a mutiny, Lord Qian can't complain about me!" ”

Qian Qiaogong finally became angry, and said lightly: "Yu Qi, it will be for the sake of your anti-Qing Dynasty, so I have compassion and want to protect your department." Only one day's rations? Do you really not know about the looting and massacre of the people in the Wendeng area these days? ”

Yu Qi suppressed his arrogance and squeaked: "Lord Qian's words are serious, and the brothers are so hungry that they can't help it, so a small group of people robbed the people...... But there is no such thing as murder. ”

"Oh?" Qian Qiaogong said coldly, "In this way, the rape and murder of a young girl in Hot Spring Town by the rebels is also Zixuwu?" ”

Yu Qi's color changed suddenly, and he was shocked in his heart that Qian Qiaogong's news would be so well-informed.

He only found out about it before he came.
