Wei Bao, Lin Wenbiao, Lai Tag, Zhang Pan, Lin Maochun, Chen Zhong and others could naturally understand the meaning of Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu, and they were all secretly funny.

In fact, Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu did not test Wang Bing, and everyone had a little bottom in their hearts about the defense of Sheepherd Fort and Fuzhou City.

Except for Mao Wenlong's Zhenjiang Fort, Tangzhan Fort, Dangerous Mountain Fort, Phoenix City, Sanyang City, Qingtaiyu and Lianshan Pass in the direction of the Dongjiang River, the Ming army has never counterattacked Jiannu, let alone seized the precedent of the city.

This trip, if it weren't for the big fish of Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu, otherwise there would be many levels, and it would be very difficult to launch an attack near the herd fort and Fuzhou City without being detected in advance.

At night, Wang Bing continued to kill people in accordance with the murder plan discussed by General Nahai, Cherge, Liu Aita and Aixin Jueluo Luhao.

There are only 1,000 people left to kill in the nearly 6,000 people in the Shepherd Castle, and this night is enough for Wang Bing to be busy.

At the same time, Lin Wenbiao officially talked with Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu Lu and officially accepted Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu Hao as a field staff member of the Tiandi Association Statistics Bureau.

At this time, Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu knew the exact identity of the other party, it turned out that they were not Mao Wenlong's people, but just a business name that cooperated with Mao Wenlong.

This business is too powerful, isn't it? It's the first time I've heard of such cooperation, you must know that Mao Wenlong is a big member of the side with heavy troops, and the other party is just a business.

But through the actions of these people before, Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao has already seen the ability of the other party, and there is no contempt for it, but rather admiration, secretly wondering if the Han people have this kind of organizational ability, why not drive the Dajin Kingdom back to the deep mountains and old forests?

"Thank you Steward Lin for trusting me so much, I will definitely do a good job in the future!" Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu assured.

"Next month, I'll have someone completely detoxify you. You write a letter of allegiance and stay with me, and after that, everyone will really be your own people. Lin Wenbiao said.

"Okay, I'll write it right away." Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu said: "Do you want to fight Fuzhou City? Now the opportunity is good, there are only 1,000 people left dead in the Shepherd Fort, and it is completely possible to take advantage of the emptiness of the army to send people to mix in first, first defeat the Shepherd Fort, and then find a way to attack Fuzhou City. ”

"Don't worry, your task now is to weaken the garrison forces in the areas of Jiannu Fuzhou, Gaizhou and Yaozhou, these areas are the rear of Jiannu, and they will not be defended too tightly, and most of them are armed with traitors. In addition, your main mission is to steal information and build good relations with officials from all over Jiannu! Find a way to get a steady stream of ordinary people from the boundaries of Fuzhou, Yaozhou, and Gaizhou, and get them all to southern Liaoning, our master, we can give out one or two lines of silver for every healthy young and middle-aged people, regardless of gender! I will provide all the funds for your activities. Lin Wenbiao said, handing Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu a stack of 10,000 taels of silver tickets: "You take these funds first, and look at them yourself, that Wang Bing, General Nahai, and Master Cherge are all the objects you want to buy." In the future, all officials who have to do with getting the people to come will be your target for bribes! ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu saw so many silver tickets, his eyes were spent, he didn't think of helping the other party to do things, and he still had money to get? "Steward Lin, I still have two thousand taels of silver tickets here that Wang Bing gave me, and I haven't handed them in yet. You don't need so much silver, do you? Besides, if someone like Wang Bing still wants to slap me, I want to give him silver instead? ”

"Yes!" Lin Wenbiao said: "He scolded you, it's only temporary, if you want this relationship to last for a long time, you must pay the other party the money in full according to the prior agreement every time you get the people!" Only in this way can the relationship be strong. These are the expenses for your activities, not the cost of buying ordinary people, and we will pay for them separately! I'll keep a lot of agents with you. Remember, your mission is to steal information and get the common people to come to southern Liaoning, and you have to try to get ahead of the Jiannu and get to a higher position! ”

"Understood." Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu asked, "Just stealing information and getting the common people?" And then I personally was in the country of gold...... No, no...... Is it Jiannu's promotion here? Nothing else? Don't you want to have a bigger territory? Don't want to take Fuzhou? ”

"These are not the questions you should ask, but I can give you a thorough explanation, our master does not want to go to war with Jiannu head-on, and he does not want Jiannu to divert his attention from the direction of Liaodong and Dongjiang to our southern Liaoning. Therefore, your current task is to make Jiannu feel that Liaonan is at your fingertips and very stable! Let them not have to spend more time in southern Liaoning, which is conducive to your work and to getting a large number of ordinary people to come over. Even if we want to do it, we will wait until it is close to winter and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry will not be able to fight long distances! During this time, you can also appropriately try to weaken the garrison of Jiannu in various places, such as killing traitors today, use it a few more times! ”

"Understood, Steward Lin, please rest assured, these things are easy to do! I am the Inspector of the Great Khan, the Great Khan...... No, no...... The old slave trusts me very much. Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu assured.

"You can call Jin Guo or the Great Khan, it's okay, so as not to change your mouth, pay attention, your first thing is to ensure your own safety and not be exposed! Every one of our field workers is our brother, and your life is very important to our master! As long as you do it well, you will get a lot of honors and merits in the Heaven and Earth Society in the future, and the position you sit in and the benefits you get will never be worse than by Nurhachi's side! Our Heaven and Earth Association will be the largest organization in the world in the future, not losing to the Ming Dynasty, and even better than the Jiannu Court! Lin Wenbiao gave Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu a bloody beating: "As long as you still remember that you are a Han in your heart, everything is based on the interests of the Han people and the interests of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the stains on your past can be erased and you will continue to accumulate meritorious deeds!" You will get what the people need, and you will get what the heavens and the earth will need. Now the Han people in Liaodong want to live! Heaven and Earth will need a large number of ordinary people to develop and develop southern Liaoning, so you can help with this. ”

"Yes, steward Lin, please rest assured, I will do my best." Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu's mood is much better, now he has the bottom of his heart, he was ignorant before, and he couldn't figure out what Lin Wenbiao wanted him to do, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with this group of people, but now he understands everything, and suddenly feels that his conscience seems to be comfortable, and what he does seems to have become very meaningful.

"I'm just afraid I won't be able to do it myself. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get anyone, so I have to open up a lot of joints, and if this kind of thing is known to the Great Khan, I will be cut by a thousand cuts. "Love Xin Jueluo Lu Lu said.

"You can understand this concern! You try to shrink back as much as possible, train a group of people to do this together, where is it so easy to catch? This kind of thing is good for everyone, as long as you turn a blind eye and do it obscurely, nothing will happen. Could it be that Jiannu didn't pay bribes on his side? Lin Wenbiao said: "We will get a few caravans, and you can help these caravans thread the needle, and you don't have to come forward yourself." Not only will we organize caravans ourselves, but we will also buy the caravans of the Jiannu, the caravans of the Mongols, in short, these are private matters of the people! You just try your best to get the people in front of the slave official to cooperate. ”

"There are things that are corrupt and perverted by the Jin country, but the Great Khan is very taboo that the people under him have something to hide from him, and the laws on the Jin side are very strict, and the property plundered from the usual battles is very orderly when the Great Khan distributes it," Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu said: "Although we also have things like deducting military salaries, embezzling grain and grass and people's property, but compared with the Ming Dynasty, it is much less." However, Steward Lin said that I was just helping the caravan thread to thread the needle and lead the joints, which was much safer than asking for someone in person. ”

"It depends on your ability, rest assured, you are not fighting alone now, there is an organization behind you, there are many people in our organization, and when you encounter something, the organization will help you." Lin Wenbiao said.

"I'm relieved, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do the group...... Organize the errands that are assigned. I used to be just a guard at the Khan's side, and I had very little interaction with the officials. Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu said a little tongue-twisted about the new term that Lin Wenbiao just said.

"There is no iron plate in the world that is not broken, and no matter how tight the board is, there are seams! If you are in danger, you can always evacuate, and we will try to get your family out of Shengjing City as soon as possible. You can't tell anyone who you're doing things for, it's strict discipline, but you can manage to arrange your family and let them live in a place where it's easy to evacuate, and if there's danger, you and your family will be protected by the organization! Lin Wenbiao promised: "Also, if you can talk to Nurhachi, you can also try your best to persuade him not to be hostile to Liaonan, he can secretly do business with the Jin merchants in Liaodong and Guannei in private, and you can also do business with Liaonan!" ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu is an insider, and he has been by Nurhachi's side for a long time, and after hearing this, he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Since the Great Khan can collude with the officials and merchants in Liaodong and the Jin merchants in the country, why can't he cooperate with our merchants in southern Liaoning? Well, Manager Lin, I have confidence now and know how to start. ”

Lin Wenbiao nodded with satisfaction and patted Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu's arm: "Do it well!" As he spoke, he glanced at President Wei.

Wei Bao is also very satisfied with Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu's attitude.

At the same time, Lin Wenbiao's methods and words also made Wei Bao more and more satisfied, it seems that Lin Wenbiao was selected as the manager of the Statistics Bureau, which is the right person, Lin Wenbiao's talent is good, and he has become his right-hand man.

The next day, Wang Bing reported to General Nahai, Master Cherge, Liu Aita and Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao that the matter was completed, and now there were only a few hundred of his old subordinates left in the entire sheepherd fort, as well as hundreds of trustworthy soldiers (mostly old and weak, a group of honest people at first glance).

Master Cherg and General Nahai sighed at the same time, they didn't want to see things turn out like this, but they couldn't say anything more. They were not mainly sorry for the thousands of traitors, but mainly because they were afraid that something else would happen in the future, such as the Ming army in southern Liaoning counterattacking the area around Fuzhou City.

Neither of them said anything, let alone Liu Aita.

"Kill it, kill it, it's easy now." Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao said with a smile: "However, you have to be prepared for the sheep herd fort, the sheep herd fort is not far from the Beixunkou controlled by the Ming army, although the Ming army dares to come to pluck the tiger's head is almost impossible, but it must not be careless!" ”

"Yes, general, please rest assured, we will never dare to be careless!" Wang Bing hurriedly said.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu smiled at General Nahai, Master Cherge, and General Liu Aita: "Three generals, don't be upset, isn't this a beautiful thing?" When we write a letter back to the Great Khan, the Great Khan will definitely be happy. We're going to have two good drinks today. ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao said, took out a large silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver and handed it to Wang Bing: "You don't have anything in this shepherd fort, let people go to Fuzhou City to prepare good wine and food and send them over, in addition, call more water spirit girls." ”

Although Fuzhou City is also a border town, it is much more prosperous than a purely military town like Yangshebao Fort, with tens of thousands of people, so the basic facilities such as wine shops and green buildings should be complete.

Wang Bing saw Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu come out with a silver ticket, where was he willing to answer: "General, you are too much of a slap in my face, when you get to the Shepherd Fort, where can you use the general to break the bank?" It should be me who entertains the generals and adults, and you can get this silver back quickly. ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu smiled and forced the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver into Wang Bing's hand: "We are all good friends, why do you divide each other?" Take it! Hurry up and prepare, don't miss lunch. Today, let's have two meals of wine in a row. It can be regarded as a trip to and from Shengjing City and Shepherd Fort for Lord Cherge. ”

Lord Cherge and General Nahai saw that Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu was so good at behaving, and they were not at all like those personal guards sent by the Great Khan in the past, and they all had a good impression of Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu, and they were polite again and again.

Even Wang Bing thought so, and sighed that Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu was willing to take the money out, he should have been filial to these close ministers around the Great Khan, and said that he was embarrassed.

Liu Aita still didn't say anything, took a deep look at Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu, and then looked at Lin Wenbiao, Zhang Pan, Lin Maochun, Chen Zhong and others who were behind Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu. Until now, Liu Aita has not figured out that Zhang Pan is so powerful, can he buy off the people around Da Khan? secretly thought that if he had been in contact with Zhang Pan last year, it was estimated that he would have brought people to Ming anyway, and now he is in Jinzhou City.

"Okay, generals, my lord, you don't have to be polite, everyone can do good things for the Great Khan, and they can all have merit, this is really good." Aixin Jueluo Lu Lule said: "I also hope that Lord Cherge and General Nahai have a chance to help me say a few kind words to each other." ”

"That's a must." Lord Cherge and General Nahai hurriedly said politely.

A few people had a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and it seemed that in an instant, the souls of the nearly 5,000 Han soldiers in the sheep herd fort had been completely forgotten.

Wang Bing's subordinates were very efficient, and they really got a lot of good wine and food at noon, as well as many beautiful women. Almost all the women in several green buildings in Fuzhou City have been wrapped.

Of course, the main reason is that the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver given by Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu is too big! has such a high standard, Wang Bing doesn't say that he will post money, at least he doesn't dare to be greedy for such a small bargain, and he won't spend the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver in Aixin Jueluo Lu Luxury.

Needless to say, the atmosphere of the banquet is needless to say, General Nahai and Lord Cherge are usually very image-oriented people, but under such good wine and good food and a large number of beautiful women, they are also profligate.

Wang Bing also seemed to take the opportunity to talk a lot to General Liu Aita to ease the resentment between the two people.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu is even more interested in socializing with everyone, and it is difficult to think about the overall atmosphere.

During the banquet, Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao proposed to Master Cherge to go one step further, to get a first-class cow to do it, he is not yet thirty years old, and he is from Han nationality, it is really very difficult to become a first-class cow record.

The official position of Jiannu is because it imitates the Ming Dynasty, and Nurhachi has many self-created titles, so it is more confusing, there are pure Jiannu official titles such as Ezhen, and there are also general soldiers, garrisons, deputy generals, and staff generals who imitate the official titles of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Jiannu also added another article, that is, generally all levels of official titles are divided into grades, first-class, second-class, third-class, such as first-class Niu Lu Ezhen, which is almost equivalent to Jiala Ezhen, and has a lot of real power.

"Please also ask the adults to help with one or two activities, here is a small meaning, if it is done, I should thank you." Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu said, secretly stuffing Master Cherge with a stack of silver tickets with a thousand taels of silver!

Master Cherg laughed and said, "You, this is harming me." ”

"Where, this thing is just a matter of moving my mouth, if it doesn't work, these silver will be my filial piety to the adult, there is no other meaning, where is the harm to the adult?" Aixin Jueluo Lu said with a smile.

Cherge drank a glass of wine, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Okay, General Lu Hao is so good at being a man, I'll take it first, but I don't dare to pack a ticket for this matter, you also know that the mind of the Great Khan is not something that anyone can control." ”

Chell said and slipped the silver ticket into his sleeve pocket.

"I know, thank you, I give you a drink." Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu smiled like a flower, and said to a few beauties beside Cherge: "Hurry up, wait for the good adults, let the adults drink more." ”

Several beauties hurriedly called out to the adults, and they persuaded them to drink, and the happy Lord Cherge laughed.

Because they drank two meals in a row, when Wang Bing, General Nahai, Lord Cherge and Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu and his gang were already drunk and unconscious, Lin Wenbiao saw that it was a good opportunity to arrange President Wei, Zhang Pan, Lin Maochun and Chen Zhong to send Liu Aita back to the house to rest, in fact, to let President Wei meet Liu Aita and Liu Aita to rest.

President Wei's meeting with Liu Aita was originally President Wei's biggest task in Fuzhou City, but he didn't expect that it would be delayed because after getting acquainted with Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu, he temporarily killed the Han army's soldiers, so that it actually turned into a meeting between the two sides in the sheepherd fort.

Although Liu Aita also drank a lot of wine, he still remained sober, knowing that this was going to meet in private, and said to his cronies left and right: "You are guarding the door, I want to invite a few of General Lu Hao's entourage to tea!" ”

Several of Liu Aita's subordinates hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Liu Aita pretended to drink a little too much, made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Pan and the others, and then strode into the house.

Wei Bao, Zhang Pan, Lin Maochun and Chen Zhong then followed, and in addition to Liu Aita's subordinates, there were also several agents from the Statistics Bureau, who spoke very safely.

"General Zhang Pan, you are so bold, you actually came here, I really didn't expect to meet again so soon." After Liu Aita entered the house, he went straight to the point.

Zhang Pan smiled slightly: "There is something that General Liu Xingzuo can't imagine, I will introduce the general, this is our new master in southern Liaoning, and he is also the son of my family, Gongzi Wei!" ”

Liu Xingzuo's name on Jiannu's side is Liu Aita, which was changed to him by Nurhachi himself, but on the Han side, everyone still calls him his original Han name.

"General Liu is good." Wei Bao bowed to Liu Xingzuo in a chic manner.

Liu Xingzuo was taken aback, he had paid attention to Wei Bao a few times before, but he never thought that this handsome young man was really Wei Bao? So young? And so daring? How dare you come to a place like Shepherd Castle? You know, there are large armies everywhere here, and once they find out the identity of this group, they won't be able to fly out of the shepherd fort with their wings.

"Okay, good, Wei Gongzi is good." Liu Xingzuo said in disbelief: "Is it really Gongzi Wei?" ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Can that still be fake?" The people below me once persuaded me that the general had not seen me, so he let someone replace me, and the general would never be able to detect it, but I vetoed their proposal, and I must come to see the general in person, this is the integrity of being a man! ”

"What Wei Gongzi said is that I am too careful. Now that I think about it, inviting Wei Gongzi to meet me in person is really not mine, we can exchange letters, and let Wei Gongzi personally take risks, I really don't want to go. Liu Aita heard Wei Bao say this, and there was no doubt, just because of Wei Gongzi's bearing, where did an ordinary teenager do it? You can't pretend if you want to, right? Although Wei Gongzi was dressed in coarse cloth and served as an ordinary soldier, he couldn't hide his otherworldly temperament at all.

Liu Xingzuo is not a traitor, he was "plundered by Shiyi" to the Jurchen area of Jianzhou in the 33rd year of Wanli (1605). In Jianzhou, he was outstanding in talent and "clever and understanding", which won the respect and appreciation of Nurhachi, and was assigned to the red flag of the Great Belle Daishan. He participated in the Later Jin attack on the Ming Dynasty and the battle of Liaoshen. With the defeat of the enemy, chasing and fleeing and other merits, and quickly promoted, until the deputy general, he was ordered to govern Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou, and the land of the four guards in the south. He became a well-known Han official in the Later Jin Kingdom.

However, the cruel national oppression and enslavement of the Later Jin and the tragic ravages of the Han people deeply shook his untouched conscience and aroused a strong sense of national righteousness. Coupled with Yuan Keli's strategic advance of "single-mindedly governing the division, plugging key points, burning and stealing grain, contacting the islands, and recovering Lushun", Liu Xingzuo, who had been plundered by Houjin for 18 years, finally had the firm belief of escaping from Houjin and serving the country. Since then, he has embarked on the road of abandoning gold and returning to the Ming without hesitation.

He is not afraid of danger and obstacles, and he is indomitable. In the third year of the Apocalypse (the eighth year of the Mandate of Heaven, 1623), that is, the second year of Yuan Keli's governor Denglai, Liu Xingzuo organized the people of Fuzhou to flee.

According to Zhou Wenyu's memory: "Liaoyang fell, Xingzuo embraced generosity, hoping to serve the country as soon as possible." The slave wants to use firearms, and Xingzuo designs frustration; Slaves want to hoe the Liao people, and Xingzuo is protected in many ways,...... In the spring of Guihai (1623), Zuo was ordered to guard Jin and Fu, and the person surnamed Jin sneaked to report to Shen Yourong and the person concerned (Yuan Keli) in the town, and wanted him to cross the division from the sea, and he was the internal response.

He repeatedly wrote to Yuan Keli, the governor of Mingdenglai, expressing his desire to get out of the tiger's mouth and "extricate himself" and return to Ming.

"Don't get in the way, if you can get a talent like General Liu, it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid that I am a talent without an official body, and I can't represent the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of General Liu. Wei Bao said: "General Mao Wenlong has handed over southern Liaoning to me to manage, and General Liu can also regard me as General Mao Wenlong's plenipotentiary representative." ”

Wei Bao has no doubt about Liu Xingzuo's intention to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, otherwise he would not have avoided the hardships and dangers and personally came to the thief-controlled area.

But Wei Bao was afraid that Liu Xingzuo Guiming wanted to make achievements in his career, in that case, he was afraid that he would not be able to give it to a small ordinary person, so Wei Bao brought out Mao Wenlong in a timely manner. And it was the Ming Dynasty that came out, not his Wei Bao's personal heaven and earth meeting. Heaven and Earth will be outside the area controlled by the Heaven and Earth Society, and now there is no fame at all. Wei Bao was also afraid that Liu Xingzuo would misunderstand that he was armed with bandits.

Liu Xingzuo said angrily: "Wei Gongzi, you misunderstood, I will not despise Wei Gongzi because he has no official status, I want to return to the Ming because I am a Han Chinese, I can't see them killing the Han people, I can't get used to the injustices between the Manchus and the Han people, the Han people can't live like people here, everyone is a slave, a pig and a dog." ”

When Wei Bao heard this, he was very happy, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement: "I understand General Liu's righteousness!" ”

"Wei Gongzi, I am ready at any time, I can take twenty or thirty thousand people from Fuzhou City to Jinzhou City at any time." Liu Xingzuo said.

"Don't worry, General, listen to me." Wei Bao said: "I don't want you to come back, but I want you to continue to stay on Jiannu's side, in that case, you can do more for Daming!" ”

Liu Xingzuo looked at Wei Bao in surprise: "What did Wei Gongzi say?" Don't want me to return to the Ming? Still want me to stay here? ”

At this moment, Liu Xingzuo was completely confused, and at the same time he was very reluctant, and immediately resisted.

Wei Bao saw Liu Xingzuo's thoughts and comforted: "General Liu, don't worry, listen to me, I can understand the general's eagerness to break away from Jiannu and return to the Ming Dynasty, but you have to think about it for your family, right?" You also have to think about Daming and Liaonan. ”

Liu Xingzuo, who was about to go crazy, calmed down a little when he heard Wei Bao mention his family.
