"Hateful!" Alai slammed his fist on the wall brick, and his huge fist smashed loudly, and he said hatefully: "It's only been a few days since the army of the prince Nikan left, and these thieves are ready to move again, don't you really think that the knife of the Qing Dynasty is unfavorable?" ”

Zhu Shichang took a breath and said slowly: "All those who rebel rely on momentum, those who have enough momentum, and those who are attached to it are gathered, and their arrogance is monstrous; Once there is a defeat, it will immediately disperse like birds and beasts, as the so-called king and defeat, relying on such a breath. Originally, Lord Nikan defeated Jiang Jianxun, Jiang Jiu's general, with a thunderous momentum, which was equivalent to beating Jiang Haobu's leg in Jinzhong, although there are many thieves left, but it is difficult to become a climate, we can completely take advantage of Taiyuan Jiancheng to defend it, wait for the end of the Datong war to recruit An Qunkou without much effort, and then slowly clean up, cut off the head year by year, so unhappy! ”

As if he was learning from Alai, he also slammed his palm on the wall brick, and said solemnly: "But I didn't expect to kill a Shaanxi soldier, so tricky!" Raise the leaderless spirit of this group of thieves, in my opinion, this Shanxi chaos is probably going to make waves again! ”

Ah Lai nodded, thoughtful: "I heard that Datong's attack is urgent, the siege has been more than half a year, Jiang Hao is like the end of a strong crossbow, and he can't hold out for long, at this critical moment, I don't know if Prince Ying will send someone over." ”

Zhu Shichang smiled coldly and said: "Don't worry, he will definitely send someone here, take a step back and say, even if Prince Ying is short-sighted and can't see the consequences of Taiyuan's loss, the regent heard that he has set off again, and he will definitely not sit idly by when he learns of our emergency." ”

Ah Lai shook his head and smiled: "So excellent! Most of the thieves won't be able to stumble for long! ”

Zhu Shichang smiled, looked at him, and said to him meaningfully: "I also hope that Lord Lai can cooperate with this official to fight this battle together, but in the future, there will be wealth and wealth, and you and I will share it." ”

Alai's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, Lord Governor, rest assured, I never respond perfunctory to business, which is more important, I have my own measure!" ”

Zhu Shichang's backstage, but it is the white flag master Dolgon, he is the white flag of the Han army, has served Dolgon for many years, can speak, if he goes to Dolgon to participate in a book, saying that the Alai communiqué is a personal vendetta, and instigates the Mongolian tribal generals who are also allies to send them to death, Alai is difficult to protect, even if Nikan guarantees it is useless.

Alai couldn't afford to offend Zhu Shichang, but Zhu Shichang was worried that the two-faced and three-faced Mongols would treat him like Kuluk and Darhan, so he said a beat, and saw that the goal was achieved, so he didn't say more, and the two stood side by side on the wall and looked into the distance.

……

Qingyuan County, Taiyuan Prefecture, is seventy miles away from Taiyuan Mansion City, the county seat has a low adobe wall of one zhang and five feet high, and there is a shallow trench dug outside the wall, which is not wide, and the longitudinal horse can be crossed.

Here is too close to Taiyuan, although there are old officials of the Ming Dynasty to make trouble, but did not enter the county seat, in the township caught a few more fierce for the Qing court to do more fierce big family killed, and cut some people's braids, then fled away, so in this county, there are still the county officials appointed by the Qing court, the city is still fluttering, is still the banner of the Qing court.

Kuruk and Darhan, led by three thousand Mongolian soldiers, came to Qingyuan in half a day, called the door outside the city, the county order thought it was a thief making trouble, summoned the people in the county to hurry up to the city to take a closer look, and found that it was the Mongolian soldiers, and they were relieved.

Lowering the drawbridge and opening the city gate, the Mongolian soldiers galloped past the smiling county commander, and quickly began to loot.

The smile of the county commander froze on his face, and he watched in confusion as the savior turned into a god of destruction, and the cries and screams of the people in the city and the sky-high fire made him feel like he had fallen into hell, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own people or the enemy who came in in a trance.

"There are thieves in the city, we are ordered to come and search the city!" The Mongols rode on their horses and proclaimed in a loud voice: "But there are those who resist, and they are guilty of the same crime as the rebels!" ”

The looting lasted for half a day, and the Mongols carried out the looting in an orderly manner, only two thousand people entered the city, and the other thousand kept guard at the city gates, and at the same time released countless scouts from afar, and could react immediately if there was a disturbance.

Qingyuan County Commander and other adjutants were held hostage at the city gate, not allowed to leave, watching the Mongolian cavalry laughing and carrying the looted things away, and a string of middle-aged men and women were tied behind the horse's buttocks and escorted out of the city. The Mongols also poked at each other that these people were thieves, and that the braids that had been cut off were evidence, and that they were to be taken away for interrogation.

The county order and others are bright, these people's braids are not cut except for the Mongols, this is a clear robbery, robbing things and robbing people.

But no one dared to say a word.

The 3,000-strong Mongolian cavalry team became 6,000 when it left Qingyuan County, and the extra people were naturally Han Chinese who were ready to be brought back as slaves.

……

"What? The cavalry who came out of Taiyuan robbed their county town first? Li Tingyu's eyes widened, and he screamed as if he was in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.

"Yes!" The scout, who knelt on one leg, replied respectfully: "Those Mongols were arrogant and arrogant, and sent a small group of people to escort the robbed people back to the Taiyuan camp, and then went in the direction of Xugou. ”

"Xu Gou?" Li Tingyu immediately lowered his head and looked at the map spread out on a rock, but Li Dingguo, who had been standing there, had a quick eye, poked his finger first, and pointed out a location for him.

"Xugou is east of Qingyuan, and the direction of the city is opposite to the direction of our gathering of troops." Li Dingguo tapped his finger on the map, looked up and smiled: "What are these Mongolian soldiers thinking in their heads?" Don't you know where we are? ”

Around the map, a group of high-level generals of the Kuizhou Army gathered together, headed by Wang Huan, surrounded by the generals, and around everyone, the Kuizhou Army was a team of 100 people, and was hiding in the valley between several dirt and mountains.

Wang Huan also laughed, he was very familiar with this method of the Mongols, because this was what the Southern Ming army was used to.

Sending troops to fight, starting from a close place, plundering all the way, and when they arrived at the battlefield, everyone had silver and gold, and they had a fart battle.

He shook his head and sighed deeply: "Of course they know where we are, Ding Guodong's Gansu cavalry has not stopped in the past few days, and the battle with the Mongolian scout cavalry has been going on, and our whereabouts cannot be hidden." However, I didn't expect that the Mongols were dominating the world and fighting invincible opponents all over the world, but now they have fallen to this point, no wonder there are few Jiannu people, but they can call the Mongols as domestic slaves. ”

"The Mongols have always been greedy for money." Zu Bian grinned, he didn't have a good impression of the people who were attached to the Nuzhen, and he despised them the same.

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Definitely! To be serious, this root is still in Daming. ”

Zu Bian was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Li Dingguo explained succinctly: "The Mongolians have nothing to do except herd cattle and horses, they need iron, cloth, rice and grain, none of which can be produced by themselves, only to exchange and trade with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty arrogantly closed the mutual market, so that the Mongolians have no source, so they have to rely on robbery, Jiannu saw this loophole, coerced and lured, and pulled the Mongolians one tribe after another, and pulled the Mongolians who were originally the Ming Ping Domain over, and became accomplices. ”

Zu Bian opened his mouth and thought for a long time with a red face, before he muttered: "It seems to be so reasonable, but ....."

"But it's not that simple!" Wang Huan said: "The Mongols and Jiannu are in collusion for many reasons, and what Dingguo said is just one of them. ”

He patted the map on the stone and said angrily: "Don't talk too far, let's talk about how we can eat this Mongolian soldier cleanly!" ”
