The Azig column plundered along the border wall of the Ming Dynasty for a day and solved the supply of grain and grass in the army.

Concerned about the Kuku and Tun wars, Azig ordered the Mongol tribes to march west to meet the Manchurian army.

At noon on May 28, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Azig led the left-wing Mongol soldiers to join the Karaqin family.

The Karaqin family gathered a large number of Ming Dynasty border guards, and became large and slow.

Azig called the Karaqin leader Gurus Xibu and ordered: "Take away the young men and women guarding the border, and kill all the old and weak!" ”

Gulus Xibu argued: "They are all Karaqin, they have surrendered, I promised them ......"

Azig reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Are you planning to take these old and young people who can't walk back to Liaodong, or do you plan to let them stay here and wait for Chahar to come back before surrendering Lin Dan?" ”

Gurus Hibu Stopper.

Azig repeated the order: "Kill!" ”

Gulus Xibu reluctantly agreed: "Yes." ”

Azig turned his horse's head and ordered the Mongol leaders on the left flank, Vunag and Engdel, behind him:

"From now on, all Mongols who do not come to surrender on their own initiative will be killed! Anyone who comes on their own initiative will shave their hair! ”

……

Wang Kun, the eunuch guarding the town of Zhangjiakou, ordered Huang Cheng, the garrison of Zhangjiakou, to send all the goods stored in Chahar out of the customs, and not a single one was allowed to stay.

Listening to the interpreter, Dong Dazi put down his cruel words after receiving the goods, "I'll come back to you for trouble in a few days!" ”

Wang Kun has been restless in the hall.

Wang Bin, the deputy chief soldier of Xuanzhen, strode into the courtyard, shouting as he walked:

"Princess, Princess, Dongdazi has withdrawn!"

Wang Kun rushed into the courtyard with an arrow step and grabbed the hand of Wang Bin, the deputy chief soldier, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Is it really withdrawn?" ”

Deputy General Wang reported: "The sentry has more than 2,000 Dongdazi, and it has gradually gone to the northwest from the east. There was also a report from the defenders of the dining room fort that outside Zhangjiakou along the border wall road from east to west, the Yi people rode horses with the account room and armor, and they all went westward without knowing the number. ”

Wang Kun slapped his forehead with his left hand, "These plague gods are finally gone!" ”

Wang Bin, deputy commander-in-chief, stretched out his thumb and praised: "The father-in-law is clever, and he sent Dong Dazi away with just a few broken skins." ”

Wang Kun waved his hand again and again modestly, "Dongdazi and Xidazi all wear red tasseled hats, who knows what they are." As long as you don't enter it, it's the same for anyone. ”

Wang Kun rolled his eyes, leaned over and asked Wang Bin: "Besides, those few broken skins are not given to Dong Dazi, and Dong Dazi is really going to make a mistake, and General Wang may be able to defend it?" ”

Deputy General Wang laughed embarrassedly and replied: "The imperial court has piled up gold and silver mountains in Liaodong, but it can't stop Dongdazi, let's Xuanzhen...... This one...... You know that, Princess...... We haven't paid a salary in Xuanzhen for a long time, how can we fight! ”

"That's it! The court has difficulties, and we, as courtiers, should think of more ways to share the worries of the monarch. ”

Wang Kun pulled Deputy General Soldier Wang to the hall, "Come on, Zong Bing, the people below have honored me with a little good tobacco leaves, and General Bing Wang will comment on it." ”

The two of them swallowed clouds and fog in the hall, and Deputy General Wang inadvertently mentioned: "This Dongdazi, I don't know if it's going west to find trouble in Datong Town." ”

"Eat cigarettes, eat cigarettes!" , Wang Kun closed his eyes and said impatiently, "Take care of your own affairs and worry less about others!" ”
