Sun Chuanting, the governor of Yansui, and He Shiyu, the chief soldier, quickly asked people to torture Wang Dengku, Huang Yunfa and others about the situation in addition to killing Hu.

Knowing that after the capture of the Jin State, the owner of the Blue Banner of the Three Belle Zheng Blue Banner Mang Gurtai, about 5,000 men and horses had entered the Fort of Killing Hu the day before, Sun Chuanting was full of regret.

If he could lead the army to kill Hukou one step earlier, then he would be able to leave all the men and horses of the Jianyu Zhenglan Banner in the pass.

Now in this situation, I can only watch this Jianyu people withdraw from the gate, and even escape.

Because the Monan grassland outside Hukou is vast, it is even more difficult to divide and surround and then annihilate the Jianyu as before.

At noon on 27 November, Li Banghua led the main army under his command and also arrived outside Shuoping City, the right guard of Datong, and was overjoyed to know that Sun Chuanting's vanguard team had actually encountered and captured the group of traitor merchants in the wilderness outside Shuoping City.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Banghua solemnly handed over Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, the four people who were on the emperor's list of traitors, as well as Fan Yongdou's eldest brother Fan Yongkui, his sons Fan Sanba, and Wang Dengku's entourage, a total of 57 people, to Li Xianzhong, the general of the Chinese army.

Let Li Xianzhong take the official document issued by himself, lead 200 musketeers, escort this group of prisoners named by the emperor to arrest, quickly go south, send these important prisoners to Taiyuan, and hand them over to Wang Guoxing and Wu Guoan, who are sitting in Taiyuan and are arresting Jin merchants everywhere for interrogation.

With the capture of these traitorous Jin merchants, Li Banghua, the minister of military aircraft, no longer had any doubts about Emperor Chongzhen's practice of letting Jinyiwei arrest Shanxi merchant families everywhere in Shanxi in the name of captivity.

Expansion is inevitable.

But as long as the motivation behind it is to really eradicate traitorous businessmen and traitorous spies, then even if it is a little expanded, it is completely understandable.

For Li Banghua, a military minister who has been a governor and has been in charge of Shanxi for so long, as long as the emperor's purpose is legitimate and beyond reproach, then even if the means are fierce and ruthless, there is no problem.

As for Sun Chuanting, who was born in Zhenwuwei, which was under the command of the Shanxi Metropolitan Command Envoy, before serving as the governor of Yansui, he was just a dismissed official at home, and he did not have much investment value, and he had little contact with Shanxi official and merchant families.

And after he was later appointed as the governor of Yansui by the emperor's will, his status was indeed very high, and he was also in an important section of the nine sides.

But since he was appointed, An Ansheng had too little time to be an official in Yulin City, either in Shaanxi or Shanxi, and he had no time to manage the trade affairs along the border in Yansui Town, and he had no chance to be pulled into the water by these pervasive Qin and Jin merchants.

Therefore, when he learned that Emperor Chongzhen had sent Jinyiwei and Dongchang personnel to arrest Jin merchants in Xuanfu and Shanxi and other places, he had no other worries except that it might affect the implementation of the Kaizhong Law in the towns of the Nine Borders and that Jinyiwei would bend the law for personal gain.

And at this moment, Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting have no time to think about this problem.

In the afternoon of the same day, the army brought by Li Banghua set off for the north again after resting outside Shuoping City.

In the evening of the same day, the cavalry of Yansui Town, led by Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu, arrived outside the city of Nanguan, where Hukou was killed.

However, at this time, there was no figure to be seen at the head of the South Pass of Killing Hukou, and in the evening, when the smoke was curling, there was also silence in Killing Hu Fort.

When Liu Honglie led the vanguard cavalry to the city gate to approach the sentinels, he was shocked to find that the city gate of Hukou Nanguan had been blocked by rocks.

When he sent the brave men to climb into the city, he found that except for the dead people in the Nanguan City of Killing Hubao and the entire Killing Hukoukou, there were already people in the empty city, and it was an empty city.

At the same time when Liu Honglie led the vanguard cavalry of Yansui Town to block Fan Yongdou and others outside Shuoping City, Ukuli, who was sent by Huang Taiji to kill Hukou, rushed to kill Hukou.

Taken aback by the sight inside the mouth of the killer, when he figured out what was going on, he immediately conveyed Huang Taiji's order to Mang Gurtai and Baishan and others, and asked Baishan to send someone to escort him south to Shuozhou to order the withdrawal of troops to Muktan and others.

When Ahaddan accompanied Ukuli all the way south and came to the area of Shuoping City, which was not far south of Shuhukou, he found the main cavalry force of Yansui Town stationed outside Shuoping City.

Ukuli and others, who did not dare to continue southward, returned to kill Fort Hu, and asked Mang Gurtai, Badali and others, who still had 5,000 troops, to lead their troops south to eliminate the Ming cavalry outside Shuoping City, but Mang Gurtai refused.

On the night of November 26, the Zhenglan Banner army under the command of Mang Gurtai and the Naiwen Korqin cavalry of Badali Taiji looted and slaughtered in the Kill Hu Fort for almost a night, and robbed the shops, warehouses, and mansions of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in the Kill Hukou that Huang Taiji had ordered to protect but no one dared to move.

The abundance of gold, silver, cloth, skins, grain, and livestock in such a small place as Hukou surpassed even any other city in the mouth.

Finally there were some satisfactory gains, and Mang Gurtai didn't want to leave them behind and take the unpredictable risk of attacking a Ming cavalry that might have wiped out Muktan and the others.

Moreover, Mang Gurtai not only did not accept the request of the people of Ukuli and Ahdan, but not long after hearing that a large group of cavalry of the army arrived outside Shuoping City, he directly led the army to escort the things stolen from the killing of Hukou, went out of the pass to the north, and marched away.

Seeing this, the clan Jue Luo Baishan was also helpless, and at the same time knew that since the Ming army had gone north to kill Hukou, then Wu Basheng and Mu Ketan and others were probably indeed more auspicious, so they first ordered the people and horses of the Eastern Mongolian tribes to block the southern pass city of Hukou, and then according to Huang Taiji's order, led the crowd to leave.

Therefore, when Sun Chuanting, He Shiyu and others led the cavalry of Yansui Town to arrive outside the Nanguan City of Killing Hukou that night, the entire Killing Hukou was actually empty.

At this time, there was no one alive in the Kill Hu Castle except for the dead.

That night, Li Banghua and others led a large army, rushed to kill Hukou with torches, and regardless of the corpses that could be seen everywhere in the city, they went straight into the city and stationed.

lost more than a month of killing Hukou, just like that, without experiencing a war, once again returned to the hands of the Ming official army.

Also on the same night, after the capture of the Jin Kingdom's clan Jue Luo Baishan, Ahadan and Ukuli led the army to arrive first, than Mang Gurtai, who marched with a large amount of gold, silver, cloth, food, women and other booty, one step ahead of the Kuku and Tun.

The news they brought back made Huang Taiji very sad.

The large number of cavalry of the Ming army went north, which is definitely a sign of danger, which means that there is no longer the strength to threaten the Ming army south of Hukou, so it means that the other ten Niu Lu of the Zhenghuang Banner and the other 7,000 cavalry of Monan Mongolia will never come back.

Wu Basheng and Mu Ketan are both veterans who have made outstanding contributions in the era of Lao Nuer Hachi, and they are the talents of the unified army that Huang Taiji relies on very much.

The loss of these two characters made Huang Taiji feel more heartache than the four Zhenghuang Flag Niulu.

And after learning that Mang Gurtai also arrived at Kill Hukou with 5,000 troops, and also swept away the Shanxi merchants in Kill Hukou, Huang Taiji almost fainted again, and the anger in his heart for Mang Gurtai once again burned like a raging fire.

When he received Yue Tuo's report that Mang Gurtai did not follow the will of the Great Khan and led his troops to flee first, Huang Taiji was already furious.

This time, I heard that Mang Gurtai actually went against his will in public and slaughtered the Shanxi merchants in Hukou, not only robbing their property, but also robbing the wives and daughters of these people in Hukou, which made Huang Taiji, who still had no intention of conquering the Ming Dynasty, very angry.

In particular, after listening to the complaint of Baishan and others, saying that Mang Gurtai spoke ill of Huang Taiji's previous will, and in order to take care of the wealth he looted, he refused to go to the rescue of the Zhenghuang Banner Muktan Division, which made Huang Taiji have the idea of punishing Mang Gurtai as soon as possible.

Mang Gurtai has always been unruly and has spoken ill of Huang Taiji many times.

Therefore, getting rid of Mang Gurtai's position as the banner master is Huang Taiji's long-standing idea.

Now it seems that someone has borne the blame for the defeat of Daming in the south this time.

But when he thought that Mang Gurtai still had 5,000 horsemen and horses under his command now, and there were still many risks on the long way home in the future, especially the gateways to and from Liaodong, Guangning and Daling River, as well as the Zhenglan Banner army of Ang Ala and Derge Forty Niu Lu, Huang Taiji could only continue to grit his teeth and endure and suppress the anger in his heart.

By noon the next day, Mang Gurtai led a total of more than 5,000 cavalry from Zhenglan Banner and Naowen Horqin, with a large amount of wealth, grain, livestock, women and other seized goods, when he came to Kuku and Tun, although Huang Taiji's face was not good, he did not have an immediate attack.

On the night when Huang Taiji was slightly comforted by the timely donation of a large amount of grain and livestock by Mang Gurtai, Ganglin and Wu Nag, young talents among the Eight Banners of Jianyu, who were highly valued by Huang Taiji, rushed from the direction of Erenhot to Kuku and Tuncheng with a team of men and horses!

That night, Ganglin traveled thousands of miles from the hinterland of Liaoshen, and 100,000 rushed to Kuku and Tun, bringing news to Huang Taiji and others, which once again made the Tiancong Khan of the Dajin Kingdom angry and bloody, and fainted in the palace of Lin Dan Khan in Kuku and Tuncheng.
