It's going to be war again.
Chen Shuncai sighed and walked to the jujube tree in the backyard with a bag full of silver.
He had already dug a pit of suitable depth, carefully buried the silver, and filled it with his feet.
Before doing all this, he took out the clothed slave Wu Gouzi. He was the only one in the entire courtyard at the moment, and it was impossible for anyone to see him burying the silver.
These are all silver coins that Chen Shuncai has looted for many years, and it is not too much, but it is not too much.
thought that if he didn't fight anymore, he could live comfortably on this money for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that just a few days after it stopped, news came from the banner that the regent was going to send Prince Yu to lead the army to attack Taiyuan.
Chen Shuncai's Han army was also sent to the Red Banner.
Chen Shuncai reluctantly glanced at the jujube tree for the last time, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Master, how long will it take for you to come back this time?"
When Chen Shuncai walked outside the gate, Wu Gouzi came forward and asked with a smile.
"Maybe a month, maybe a year and a half."
Chen Shuncai was a little upset and waved his hand.
Actually, he wanted to bring Wu Gouzi with him.
When the master first robbed the west, he brought a coated minion, which not only allowed the minions to resist some burdens, save effort for the crotch animals, but also helped multiple helpers.
But this time, Shi Tingzhu's master said very clearly, the flag soldiers are not allowed to bring clothed minions.
Of course, Chen Shuncai didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he had to keep Wu Gouzi.
He wasn't worried about Wu Gouzi escaping.
The prince of Dorgon has just promulgated the law of escape, stipulating that the clothed minions will be whipped one hundred twice before escaping, and the third time they will be captured and beheaded for public display.
Wu Gouzi has no relatives, even if he escapes in this troubled world, he can't hide, and most of them will be caught and beaten with a hundred whips.
He wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Chen Shun is worried about his silver. What if the dog slave finds out that the silver he buried under the jujube tree is dug out and spent?
Isn't he dumb and can't tell if he eats coptis chinensis?
Putting on the cotton armor under Wu Gouzi's service, Chen Shuncai cleared his throat and said, "You should be clever when I am away, don't cause trouble." ”
Wu Gouzi nodded and claimed yes.
Seeing that Chen Shun was about to get on the horse, Wu Gouzi hurriedly knelt down, supported his arms on the ground, and his buttocks were pouted high.
Chen Shuncai stepped on Wu Gouzi's buttocks and turned over on the horse, and Haosheng adjusted his sitting posture.
When everything was ready, he struck the horse's belly with both feet, and the beast galloped.
Chen Shuncai grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and touched the saber at his waist with the other hand. The moment he touched the hilt, he felt a lot more at ease.
Ten years, this saber followed him for a whole decade.
I don't know how much blood this knife drank in the past ten years, and it was by virtue of the head cut off by this knife that he became a flag man from a humble clothed Aha who was carried by his master.
Hopefully, this knife will continue to bring him good luck this time.
Chen Shuncai finally glanced back into the alley, and then slapped the whip on the horse's buttocks.
The horse neighed in pain and quickened its pace, making a stamping sound.
Chen Shuncai narrowed his eyes slightly, letting the hot wind blow across his bare forehead.
Xishikou archway, the Han army inlaid with the red flag of the soldiers will gather here, the whole team, led by the solid mountain Ezhen Shi Tingzhu out of the city, with the Yu Prince Duoduo army to Shanxi Taiyuan.
Grab the West!
It's just that this time they are robbing the national fortune and the world!
......
......
"Lord, this time the regent asked you to follow Prince Yu to attack Taiyuan, but it's a good opportunity to perform."
In the big tent, a tall man with a tiger's back said very excitedly.
Not far from him, stood a man in his forties in a python robe.
This person is not an outsider, it is the famous Gongshun Wang Kong Youde.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all crowned kings after the Qing Dynasty, and they were collectively known as the kings of Sanshun.
The three of them knew each other as early as Liaodong and used to work as miners together. Later, all three of them joined Mao Wenlong's army, and they ate rice with a horse spoon. After Mao Wenlong was killed, they instigated the Dengzhou Rebellion by coincidence, and then crossed the sea together to surrender to Houjin.
It stands to reason that such an experience is enough to make them feel like brothers.
But this is not the case.
If the Qing Dynasty wants to compete with Li Zicheng and the small court of the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to rely on the Eight Banners Army, but also to rely on Kong Youde and other Sanshun kings.
Compared with Wu Sangui, who sacrificed Shanhaiguan, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming are definitely old-timers who surrendered to Cheng, and won the trust of the regent Dorgon.
Dorgon had hinted to the trio that if they conquered the world in the future, he would give them a province as a real fief.
Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming are all human spirits among human spirits, so they naturally understand that Dolgon will not be so generous.
Dorgon only said that he would give them a province as a fief in the future, but he did not say whether one person would divide one province or three people into one province.
Kong Youde even thought that it was possible that Dolgon had said the same thing to Wu Sangui.
In this case, if you want to get a provincial fief, you have to make the greatest possible merit and completely overshadow the others.
Brothers? Brother is a fart compared to a provincial fief!
The regent sent Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to follow Prince Ying Azig to take Datong, and at the same time sent Prince Yu Duoduo to lead Geng Zhongming and his Kong Youde to attack Taiyuan.
On both sides were a Manchurian prince with two Han vassal kings, and the intention was too obvious.
If Kong Youde is not wrong, this is a small test.
Now that Datong has been won, he naturally wants to assist Prince Yu to conquer Taiyuan as soon as possible, and only in this way can he get an evenly matched evaluation.
The real big test is in the decisive battle with Li Zicheng.
If Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi can take the first step to assist Azig in conquering Yulin, then they will occupy a more important position in the regent's heart.
On the contrary, if he Kong Youde first blasted open the gate of Tongguan City, and then took Xi'an, he would naturally be looked at by the regent.
He has red-coated cannons in his army, and this alone is enough to make Geng Zhongming, who is traveling with him, a foil.
As for Shang Kexi, Kong Youde didn't care much about it.
The only thing he was worried about was Wu Sangui.
This person stood out among the generals in western Liaoning at a young age and became the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, which shows that he did have two sons.
Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, and after Wu Sangui returned to Shun, he immediately rebelled and led the Qing army into the customs.
The most important thing is that Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.
That's the only elite left of the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry is not comparable to the Eight Banners Army, its strength is also the best among the border armies in the late Ming Dynasty.
With such an elite army charging and fighting, Wu Sangui is very likely to take Yulin with Azig first.
