Ming Andali was shocked when he heard this, panicked and "poof", knelt down again, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no!" Lord Wang, in and outside Beijing, how many major events have to wait for you to make an idea, the emperor has not yet been in power, you are gone, you go to Shanxi for thousands of miles, separated by mountains and rivers, how can you control the overall situation? ”

After a pause, he waved his hand to avoid the left and right, so that the hall was quiet, and when the palace maids left, Ming Andali lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, there was news from the Tai Hospital, Lord Wang, you are in poor health, and you have a hidden disease that has been left by years of battle, if you are not good at conditioning, it is easy to aggravate the condition, and now although the court is calm on the surface, there are not a few people who secretly collude with the Haoge faction, and when they get the news, some people jump up and down immediately, lest the world will not be chaotic, and the prince is gone, and the slaves are worried that these people will take the opportunity to play tricks, Playing right and wrong around the emperor and the queen mother, setting off a storm. ”

Dolgon squinted slightly, and listened carefully to what Ming An Dali said, Ming An Lida was born in two yellow flags, and he was naturally Dolgon's henchman to be the secretary of the military department, this person was far-sighted, and liked to interact with Han ministers such as Ning Wan I, Fan Wencheng and others, learned Chinese characters and read Chinese books, quite Confucian heritage, was a rare literati in the Manchu people, and was extremely trusted by Dolgon.

After he finished speaking, Dolgon nodded and said softly: "You are right, you are indeed right, although Haoge was defeated, there are still people who are determined to protect him, he is the son of Emperor Taizong, and I can't cut off his head immediately, I can only be imprisoned." If this person is alive, there is hope, of course there will be people who will take advantage of it, and other factions in the court and the central government are also secretly calculating the king, and the yang is against the yin, I know this. ”

He changed his words, and said in a vain tone: "But if this king does not personally enlist, who else can take on this responsibility?" My Jurchen has been able to fight a way out of the white mountains and black waters for decades, and now I have a great treasure, and I can get thousands of miles of rivers and mountains when I see it, what else do I rely on? It's not the courage to dare to face a strong enemy and be fearless of death, passed down from the lineage of Taizu and Taizong, and when you come to this king, do you still lose this courage? Suffering from gains and losses is not the work of the eldest husband, this trip, this king must go! Prestige is built from blood, and cowardly cowards lose everything! ”

Ming An Lida looked up at his king with adoring eyes, fell to the ground and paused repeatedly, and said: "Since the prince has made up his mind, the servants will immediately go down to arrange the transfer of troops, and the scholar Ganglin will also ask the prince to inform him, so as to arrange for the official affairs of the court when the prince is not in Beijing." ”

Dorgon nodded again and replied, "I will take most of the king's ministers in the capital with me, so that I will take the council of ministers with me, and if there is any important business, I will be able to make a decision at once, and I will not delay anything." On the side of the emperor and the queen mother, I will go to meet tomorrow and tell the reason, you step up the arrangements, and the troops will be sent in three days! ”

The deliberation in the Wuying Palace, a decision was made, Dolgon's personal conquest was unstoppable, but the two people in the palace did not know that this decision was actually related to the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty, which had taken the world by force since entering the customs, collapsed between these three words.

……

Thousands of miles away on the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi, a prisoner cart slowly drove out of Xi'an City, in the direction of Qinling, and slowly moved away.

The prisoner cart was made of rough wood, no more than three feet high, and the prisoners inside did not stand or sit, but had to squat inside, their heads were shackled by wooden frames, and only by trying their best to stretch their necks upwards could they resist the pain of suffocation.

The cage of this kind of regulation, the purpose is to let the people inside survive and not to die, according to legend, there was a Hongwu Dynasty, when the general Lan Yu was abnormal, Jin Yiwei included it in the edict of the prison in every way, whipping and roasting can not take its confession, and finally in desperation, a general flag came up with this kind of cage, flail Lan Yu for half a month, and recruit everything, which shows the horror of this thing.

Meng Qiaofang was locked in the first cage, swaying and swaying by thousands of Ming army superintendent battalions, taking the official road to Guangdong, Wang Yingxiong rode a high-headed horse, surrounded by military generals, and walked behind in high spirits, this trip to Xi'an, benefited a lot, not to mention a lot of gold and silver seizures, just Meng Qiaofang and others, it was enough for him to brag.

The thought of arriving in Zhaoqing and seeing so many captives of Manchu high-ranking officials was exciting. The emperor was happy that as a member of the conquest of Shaanxi and an important part of the army, it was not a matter of course to be promoted to a knighthood.

Wang Yingxiong was dressed as an official, and his crimson official uniform was like a celebratory color, which set off his mood. Along the way, he wrote a lot of poems, the first capital is as strong as the red river and fierce, expressing the pride of the chest and abdomen, the picturesque scenery of the rivers and mountains through the ages, the iron horse of Jin Ge is like a dragon and a tiger, there are fierce generals like Wang Huan, there are elite soldiers like the Kuizhou army, why worry about the big thing? The title of Zhongxing celebrity is dangling three feet above the head, and it can fall on his head at any time.

Shangguan is like this, and the soldiers of the supervision battalion below are also complacent, although they have not been in battle or killed the enemy, but relying on Wang Yingxiong's face, there will be their names in the merit book, and the reward for meritorious deeds is also indispensable, everyone is very happy, and the entire escort team is filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Out of Xi'an City for three days, I saw that I arrived at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, and after walking for half a day, Chencang Road could show the shadow of the plank road among the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and the Fengxiang City guarding the valley mouth was the place where I settled today.

This section of the road is the most desolate and secluded section of the road from Xi'an, on both sides of the official road, due to years of war, deserted, the ruins of some remaining villages and towns are dilapidated like prehistoric ruins in a piece of yellow earth, and if you want to restore to the prosperous appearance of the past, you must rely on the precipitation of time.

Wang Yingxiong didn't think anything of it, half a day's road away from Fengxiang City of the garrison, the cavalry in the city could rush to the aid in an hour, and even if there were bandits in the barren mountains and mountains, they didn't dare to move the crooked brains of a group of officers and soldiers. Still slowly riding on the horse brewing poems, he followed by a boy riding a donkey, with a pen and paper to record all the manuscripts he thought of on the road, and when he arrived at a stable place, he had to sort it out well, and the book was published in the future, and the name of the book Wang Yingxiong had thought of it, and it was called "Walking Songs".

While reveling in the ocean of literature, Wang Yingxiong suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground under his feet, which spread from far and near, like ripples surging with an undercurrent underground, from afar.

Wang Yingxiong stopped in surprise and looked to the left, where the increasingly strong earthquake came from.

The commander of the Governor Battalion was a military general with the rank of commander-in-chief, and he immediately mobilized men and horses, on the one hand, to protect Wang Yingxiong and the cage, and on the other hand, to set up a formation on the left side.

As long as anyone who has been a soldier knows this movement, only a large number of horses' hooves galloping can make this movement.

With the smoke and dust rising like pillars, a group of cavalry turned out from the side of the hill on the left, and when they saw the dress of this group of people, the commander of the supervising battalion "groaned" in his heart and lifted it up.

The people who came were riding healthy horses, all covered their faces with black cloths, wearing messy leather armor and iron armor, brandishing sabers and spears, and many of them were still holding crossbows in their hands.

"Shield, put up a shield!" The commander shouted loudly, stretched out his hand and took off the round shield from the war horse under his crotch, and blocked in front of Wang Yingxiong: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" Let go of wolf smoke and ask for help! ”

Wang Yingxiong also panicked, he never thought that someone would dare to attack him on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was in front of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Supervisory Battalion.

Hulala, more than 20 soldiers surrounded him, dozens of shields covered Wang Yingxiong tightly, and he retreated back in a panic.

"Who is it? Who dares to be so bold? Wang Yingxiong roared in a trembling voice: "Can't you see the banner of this governor?" ”

The commander's face is even more ugly than Wang Yingxiong, he is a soldier, and the cavalry that can be seen at a glance is not an ordinary horse thief, although the weapons worn are all road goods, and they are similar to the horse thieves who rob the road, but judging from the concise and neat movements and formations of these people, they are definitely experts from the army.

In addition to more than 100 horseback riders, the rest of the battalion are foot soldiers, who have not been bloody for a long time, and have long lost their courage.

The shouting cavalry swept past the phalanx formed by the Governor's Battalion, which was not prepared in a hurry, and did not release a single arrow, but instead the unidentified masked cavalry shot a rain of arrows in the gallop.

The wolf's tooth arrow shot on the shield, "ping pong" made a chaotic sound, the shield was not close together, some arrows shot into the gap and pierced the person, although the standard battalion was well-equipped, and each person had a half-body waist armor, but the sharp arrow still broke through the armor without any obstacle by the power of the bowstring, and pierced countless blood flowers.

Some of them screamed and fell, and the phalanx immediately became chaotic, and the spears and shield walls scattered a lot, and the people who fell to the ground rolled and wailed, which made the already not very tight phalanx seem more and more loose.

"Resist, damn, where is the strength on a woman's belly? Stand still! The commander scolded and whipped the retreating man: "Isn't it just a group of horse thieves?" Are the Ming officials and soldiers still afraid? The reinforcements in Fengxiang City saw the wolf smoke and could come soon, so they all stopped me! ”

In the middle of the camp of the superintendent, a wolf smoke burned with horse dung rose to the sky like a pillar, like a pillar of smoke straight up and down, standing between the clouds and the ground, and could be seen from afar.

The wolf smoke ignited, which made Wang Yingxiong's heart settle down a little, at least the horse thief would see this, and he would retreat.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance came again, and the masked cavalry, totaling more than 500 people, circled around in the distance, and circled back again, and the crossbows in their hands were flattened again.

There was a commotion in the camp of the Governor, the rain of arrows just now took the lives of more than a dozen people, and many wounded soldiers howled under their feet, how could they stand it if there was such a wave again?

In panic, the group of cavalry that had come back from a distance began to shout.

"Wait for the officers and soldiers to listen, we were originally Qing soldiers, and we came to rob people, not to fight, if you want to save your life safely, you will leave Meng Qiaofang's prisoner car, and the rest will leave without asking; If you want to fight, just wait for the masters to come and take the head! ”

The roar was loud and loud, and everyone could hear it.

The soldiers of the supervision battalion looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly became more and more frightened, it turned out that these Qing troops who had been killed and dispersed came to rob Meng Qiaofang to go back, it would be even more terrifying, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, where can be compared to the supervision battalion that has not experienced a battle formation for a long time.
