The inside story about the fall of Hukou brought by Jiang Jian gave Emperor Chongzhen a perfect reason to confiscate the wealth of those traitorous merchants.

At the same time, it also gave Emperor Chongzhen a perfect reason to gag all criticism and opposition.

However, the other messenger who came to Juyong Pass with Jiang Pai from Bauhinia Pass also brought the enemy situation of the Zhenglan Banner army and the Mongol servant army of Mang Gurtai's army to ravage outside Bauhinia Pass.

After Mang Gurtai led his army south to Hunyuan Prefecture and Ulzhou from Datong City, all the anger he had accumulated outside Datong City was vented.

And there was no huge artillery to help the battle, and there was no army to hold on to Hunyuan City, after Mang Gurtai led the army to storm for two days, it was finally captured by Jian, and the people of the city were also slaughtered after the city was broken.

Hunyuanzhou City, located in the small basin at the southeast end of Datong Town, several small county towns, not to mention the opponents of the Jianyu army and the Mongolian servant army, were broken one after another.

By the middle of November, the Mang Gurtai Division, which was a little tired of attacking the fortified city, abandoned the long-held city of Ulzhou, and turned to the south to divide troops to plunder the wealth and population, and at the same time the Bauhinia Pass was getting closer and closer.

Since the emperor's visit to Juyong Pass was confirmed, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Baoding, and Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Baoding, recruited more than 10,000 battalions and guards in the Baoding area, and came to the Bauhinia Pass in the northwest of Baoding.

Ding Kuichu and Ding Qirui's uncle and nephew were famous in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but they were actually mediocre people.

During the prosperous and peaceful years, it may be possible to benefit one party for the first term of the official, but in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of person cannot be counted on.

But Ding Kuichu is at this time, just in the post of governor of Baoding, you can't dismiss or replace him for no reason just because you have prejudices about the mistakes that others may make in the future, or the possible bastards.

The same is true for characters like Chen Hongfan.

It took them more than ten years or even decades to get to their current position step by step in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was still not at ease with these people after all, and not only arranged for Lu Xiangsheng to integrate the military forces of the north and south of Beizhili and the north of the Yellow River, but also sent more than 16,000 people from the second town of Wang Fu and Fang Kong's new guards to Zijing Pass.

And the Ming decree was to take the veteran Wang Fu as the main and Chen Hongfan as the deputy, so that Ding Kuichu would stay in Yizhou, and be responsible for the rear services such as the collection of young men and the transfer of grain and grass.

After Wang Fu arrived, he quickly set up a fortress at the first line of Bauhinia Pass, and the operation was leaky.

Mang Gurtai led his army to patrol around the Bauhinia Pass, and saw that the Ming army in the area of Bauhinia Pass had been prepared and never launched an attack.

The Ming army in the area of Bauhinia Pass was the second town of the newly formed Guards under Wang Fu and Fang Kong, and forty percent was the Baoding soldiers led by Ding Kuichu and Chen Hongfan.

Therefore, they also know their own family affairs, and since Jianyu does not come to attack, they do not dare to rush to battle.

The two sides maintained a state of confrontation in this way.

After the messengers sent by Ding Kuichu, Fang Kong and others sent the situation of the construction outside the Bauhinia Pass to Juyong Pass, Emperor Chongzhen soon had a clearer understanding of the entire situation after Huang Taiji entered the pass from the killing of Hukou.

Haoge led the yellow flag to remain outside Dushikou, while containing the Xuanfu army to the south, and on the other hand, to prevent the official army in the area of Rehe Fort outside Jizhen from advancing westward.

Huang Taiji personally led the Yellow Banner and wreaked havoc on Datong and Xuanfu with Yue Tuo's inlaid red flag, attacking cities everywhere and robbing wealth and population.

Mang Gurtai and his Zhenglan Banner went south to capture Hunyuan Prefecture and other places, and marched to the north of Bauhinia Pass.

In his opinion, if there is no accident, this is also the peak state that Jianyu can achieve this time.

Emperor Chongzhen did not make special arrangements and arrangements for the hostile situation reports from Ding Kuichu and Fang Kong and others, but in his reply to them, he repeatedly told them to cooperate sincerely, stick to the city, and defend it even if it was meritorious.

On that day, the imperial meeting in the Yongsheng Building of Juyong Guan did not end until midnight.

At dawn the next day, people from all walks of life quickly took action, those who should go to Taiyuan went to Taiyuan, those who should go to Zhangjiakou went to Zhangjiakou, and those who should go back to Bauhinia Pass Bauhinia Pass.

Then, on the afternoon of 15 November, Emperor Chongzhen, who had just arranged these affairs, received a report from Huang Degong, the guard of the Wengcheng Army, outside the northern pass of Juyong Pass, and others in the Yongsheng Building.

It was said that someone outside the gate of the military capital rode a horse and waved a white flag, asking to enter the customs to deliver a letter, and the person who came claimed to be a family member of the Horqin left-wing Mongolian Borzigit clan.

Hearing this news, Emperor Chongzhen knew after a little thought that this must be some trick Huang Taiji was doing again.

However, now this Emperor Chongzhen is not worried about Huang Taiji's little tricks, so he quickly passed on the staff of the military department who was also in Juyong Pass, Zhongniu Juming, to deal with it.

At the same time, a few ministers, nobles and ministers were also sent over to see what was going on.

After a short while, the cabinet minister Xu Guangqi, the head of the household department Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry Bi Maokang, as well as the envoys and deputy envoys of the Li Fan Yuan Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang, the admirals of the Fifth Military Battalion and the 3,000 Battalions Wei Shitai and Zhang Qingzhen, and Cao Huachun, the leading figure among the ministers, arrived one after another.

After a while, Niu Juming led a young man wearing a leather hat, about ten years old, dressed in Horqin Mongol costume up the city tower and came to the door of the hall on the first floor of Yongsheng Building.

Yongsheng Building was originally an arrow tower on the north gate of Juyong Pass, in addition to the external windows are wide inside and narrow outside, it looks quite narrow, in fact, the internal space is still very spacious.

Moreover, in order to facilitate the movement of the soldiers guarding the city in the arrow tower during the war, in addition to the wooden stairs on the second floor, this arrow tower is five rooms wide on the east and west sides, and three rooms are deep in the north and south, and more than 20 people gather in one of them without feeling crowded.

Emperor Chongzhen sat with his back to the south and north, and on the east and west sides, there were a group of civil officials and military officials who were fortunate enough to come with him to live in Yongguan.

Niu Juming crossed the threshold, entered the hall, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! The slave chief Huang Taiji sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and the envoy Manzhu Xili was the third son of Zhaisang, the leader of the left-wing Mongols of Horqin!

"Today, Manzhu Xili is here with the slave chief Huang Taiji and the letter, and I ask Your Majesty to see it with courtesy!"

In just a few words, Niu Juming explained everything that should be explained.

not only explained the special identity of this Manzhu Xili to Emperor Chongzhen and the emperor's side, but also showed the true identity of the lord of Yongguan in front of him to the Manzhu Xili who was a little panicked behind him.

In fact, for Huang Taiji to let him serve as an envoy to Juyong Pass and deliver the peace letter of the Houjin State to the guards at Juyong Pass, Manzhu Xili's heart completely refused.

Although he was still young and a very good man, he was born into a family of left-wing Mongolian nobles in Horqin, but he also knew that this errand should be regarded as the most dangerous errand he had ever received in his life.

What if the guards in Juyong Pass cut themselves down indiscriminately?

And that's a possibility!

After all, now the army of the Later Jin Kingdom, the Mongols and even the Horqin people are galloping on the land of the Ming Kingdom!

You broke through other people's cities, killed other people's people, robbed other people's property, and then turned around and said that you would not fight, and wanted to negotiate peace, how could there be such a cheap thing!

However, even though Manzhu Xili knew that this trip was full of risks, he did not dare to refuse at all.

Although his aunt Zhezhe and sister Bumu Butai are both Huang Taiji's favorite women.

Although Huang Taiji is both his own uncle and his own brother-in-law.

Even so, he did not dare to refuse.

As the Mongolian steppes conquered by the Dajin Kingdom became larger and larger, and the number of Mongolian tribes attached to them became more and more, the status of the Horqin Mongols became more and more declining, and they were no longer the noble guests of the past.

Especially after Huang Taiji drove away Lin Dan Khan with the power of destruction and decay, and seized the Mongolian steppe in southern Mo, now when Datong and Xuanfu attacked Jiancheng, the nominal co-owner of the Horqin people, Oba Khan, had no room for bargaining.

Although the old men of the Mongolian tribes who had been attached to them for a long time had a much higher seat in the Huangtaiji Jinding Tent than the leaders of the newly annexed Mongolian tribes, they were all cannon fodder when they started fighting, just like other Mongolian servants.

This time, on the way of Huangtai Jixi's expedition to Chahar, when passing through the Horqin grassland, he accepted a beautiful daughter of Kong Guoer, the leader of the right wing of Horqin, as a concubine, which also made Manzhu Xili vigilant.

Now that Huang Taiji has let himself be an envoy to Juyongguan, and even the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, if he dares not to go, not only will he have no reason at all, but it will also have an impact on his family, his aunt and sister.

Therefore, even though he was unwilling in his heart, he finally stubbornly took a team of Horqin people to the city of Juyong Pass.

What I didn't expect was that the soldiers of the Ming army guarding the pass listened to the name they reported, but they were quite polite, and they didn't mean to be cold or embarrassed at all.

After the Ming army guards guarding the capital of the army sent someone to pass it on, the Lord Langzhong of the military department who came to contact made people feel like a spring breeze.

Could it be that his sister is really so powerful in the court of the Southern Dynasty, and has such a noble status, she can already make any border general respect her? !

As for the robbery of Harijula, the left wing of Korqin has already accepted this fact.

For Jaisan and his Borzigit family,
