Azig was ordered to lay out the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty in Horqin, Karaqin, and Mongolia, and led his own escorts to garrison outside Zhangjiakou.

The messenger sent to Kuku and Tun to contact him brought back a stern rebuke from Abahai: the amount of goods obtained is incorrect, and he will report it again!

Azig was not impressed.

Azig made contact not only with Abahai, but also with his brother's White Flag, the White Flag, Manggultai, and Degray's Blue Flag.

There were frequent messengers between the Taiji families of the Three Banners, and there was only one thing to discuss: when, where, and how to do it.

The army on the right side was defeated at Shimenshui, the strength of the two red flags and the blue flag was damaged, the Han army was disabled, and the form was more favorable to several Taiji, and the comparison of strength between the two sides changed to two white and one blue and three flags against the two yellow flags of Abahai and his son.

Duoduo and Haoge were ordered to march westward, and they would not go to Zhangjiakou until the end of June as planned.

The balance of strength between the two sides has further changed to two flags against one flag.

Several Taiji have already been determined, and Abahai will start when he arrives in Zhangjiakou.

Therefore, Azig did not take Abahai's harsh rebuke to heart at all.

It was not until Abahai was about to reach the mouth of Kill Hukou that Azig sent another messenger to the Manchurian Khan.

Azig simply asked the messenger to explain the seizure figures of the newly repaired warehouse outside Zhangjiakou, and that the donkeys and cloth had been transported to Wolf Mountain to pay the ransom of Duo Erhong.

Abahai loves it.

Militarily, Azig did not dare to be sloppy at all.

Thousands of Mongol soldiers and horses wanted to deter more than 100,000 Ming troops along the hundreds of miles long border wall, and Azig frequently mobilized troops to create a false impression on the one hand, and spread rumors on the other hand.

Azig also made a surprising move: release all the Ming artisans who had been taken captive and let them return to the Ming realm. But before these craftsmen were released, messages were sent to the craftsmen through various means.

……

A few days after the idle days of Wang Kun, the eunuch guarding Zhangjiakou Town, Dong Dazi made a comeback.

This time, Dong Dazi came and didn't leave, and released cruel words to ask for the payment that Zhangjiakou owed to Chahar.

Wang Kun is pampered on weekdays, where did he pass through this formation, and ran from Zhangjiakou to Xuanfu with a smoke.

In the yamen of the governor of Xuanfu, Wang Kun was about to cry:

"Governor Shen, Shen Dutang, Shen Junmen, you can take out some silver and clear Dazi's account!"

Xuanfu Governor Shen Di, the character Yuan Festival, the number of Wu Kuang. In the forty-first year of Wanli, he was a colleague of Liaodong and Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Yuanhua.

Shen Di spread his hands, "Princess, the horse market in Zhangjiakou is right under your nose, every time Dazi's horse is directly arranged by you to transfer Liao Town or Jizhen, I have never seen a penny of money selling horses." ”

The prince begged, "Lord Shen, can't you borrow some from elsewhere?" If they don't settle the arrears to Dongdazi, they will attack Zhangjiakou when they see it! ”

Shen Di smiled bitterly: "Borrowing? You ask Dong Zongbing, Xuanzhen has not been paid for several years, where do you let me borrow it? ”

Dong Jishu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, was furious when he heard about the arrears: "The military department only knows that the head of the doctor has a headache and the foot hurts the doctor." First of all, five years of Pingliao, let us Xuanzhen not eat or drink, and transfer all the military expenses of Xuanzhen to Liaozhen; As a result, Dong Dazi came in from Jizhen, and transferred Xuanzhen's military expenses to Jizhen; As soon as Yongping was recovered, Dongdazi surrounded the Daling River and transferred the military expenses to Liaozhen. Wang Gonggong, you usually keep it tight, and you don't leave a tael of silver for Xuanzhen, but now that Dongdazi has come to Xuanzhen, you should first think of a way to pay Xuanzhen's brothers two months' salary! ”

Wang Kun, the monitoring eunuch, jumped up: "Dong Zongbing, I, Wang Kun, do my best for the Long Live Lord." Although he has a lot of silver, he has never been greedy for ink or two. Long Live Lord is short of money, don't you know to share worries for Long Live Lord? ”

Dong Zongbing argued loudly: "Why don't I want to find a way to share the emperor's worries? This year, Shandong has rebelled against Sun Yuanhua, and Xuanzhen is in this situation, so he didn't just send out rioters? ”

Shen Di saw that the two were going to quarrel, so he interjected to play a round: "Everyone is doing things for the saint, and the matter has come to this point, so it's useless to talk about it." ”

Shen Di turned to Dong Jishu: "General Dong Bing, now that Jiannu is detaining the border, Xuanzhen may fight?" ”

"What a war!" , Dong Jishu was extremely annoyed, "Lord Shen, you are in charge of military affairs." The elite of Xuanzhen went to Shandong hungry, and the remaining old and weak soldiers had no salaries, how could they dare to expect the soldiers to work hard? ”

Wang Kun had nowhere to vent his anger, and couldn't help but scold Sun Yuanhua: "Sun Yuanhua, ungrateful!" Long live the Lord treated him as kind as a mountain and appointed him as the governor of Denglai, but he actually supported the army to rebel! ”

Wang Kun thought that his hard work in the past few years was not understood, and he couldn't help but shed tears sadly: "If it weren't for this white-eyed wolf, everyone would have tightened their belts in the past two years." ”

Dong Jishu snorted coldly in his nostrils, "Princess, I heard that Sun Yuanhua tightened his belt to reinforce Daling River, but the soldiers rebelled halfway without eating or drinking." ”

Shen Di sighed: "Alas! Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. Now it has become no soldier, only soldiers. As a result, the situation is getting worse, and I don't know what year and month it will take to jump out of this bottomless pit! ”

Wang Kun interrupted Shen Di's emotion: "Lord Shen, don't complain, think about what we should do now!" ”

Shen Di shook his head: "There is nothing Xuanzhen can do right now. We only have the Holy Lord, please send troops to Xuanzhen as soon as possible. ”

Wang Kun immediately stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "Then do it!" The big guy hurry up and write an inscription for Jingshi. Long live the master, the military department, and the household department, as long as there is something involved, all of them will be sent! ”

Hundreds of years later, the three-person leading group of Wang Kun, Shen Di, Dong Jishu, and Xuanzhen flew to Beijing to play the snowflake-like inscription, only the inscription of the military department was preserved, and this history was faithfully recorded.

The draft of the Ministry of War Chongzhen on June 9 of the fifth year, according to the monitoring of Wang Kun's question:

The ministers of the Xiyanghe garrison kingdom said that a Han man who returned to his hometown came due north, confessing that his name was Chen Chaoyu, who was originally an oilmaker. In April of the fourth year of Chongzhen, there was Zhangjiakou to insert the chieftain of Yimu Tian Zaisheng Feng Square to go out, and send out masons and other craftsmen in the same festival to repair the temple. Now, on May 27 of this year, he was taken away by the Eastern Commander, and his old and weak people were all killed. and drove the servants to the northwest. Youyun, Dongnu marched with ten shares, 10,000 each, and nine of them went to the northwest to find the king. Stop one share, which is under the control of the ten princes, is to check and kill Sanyi along the border, and then also go to the northwest, and then follow the Yi people to walk one after another, I don't know how many of them.

Today, there is another Han man who has returned to his hometown, named Yan Shanglun, who was originally a mason. In March of the fifth year of Chongzhen, there was a Zhangjiakou chieftain who went to Yimu Tian Zaisheng to ask for a letter and exported to repair the temple.

According to the Wujun newspaper of the Chinese army, at the sixth hour of the first month of this month, there was a mason who was captured by the East slave, You Fucheng, who was imported and confessed, was originally from Shanxi, and came to the mason camp outside the south gate of Zhangjiakou in the first month of the third year of Chongzhen. Hou Shangxia on the left and Hou Dewei on the right were taken captive by Dongnu on May 26. Because the left man was sent to the camp for five or six days, it was known that the slaves had arrived at their mouths and had plundered all the goods, food, and other items of the western captives. Today, there is no shortage of rice. There were rushed to guard the mouth of the West and the strong men were all killed, and there were only young and weak children left. I also heard that there were ten princes in the slave camp, and I saw a prince, and there was still an old camp of the eldest prince, who lived in the first place in the Great North. Now I set up camp in Yanghe Houkou, which stretched for about sixteen or seventeen miles, and there were neat armor, shotguns, and artillery, among which there were many people in Liaodong. Claiming to be in June 20 to rob the Celestial Empire. Each person has two or three good horses, and he has driven the Xiyu across the Yellow River, but now he is nowhere to be found. There are different whistles from time to time. The Slave Chief went to the northern camp to talk. 

On June 11, the fifth year of Chongzhen, according to the Xuanfu General Soldier Dong Jishutang Newspaper:

There was a mason who was taken captive by Dongyi from the camp of the chieftain. You Tiancheng, imported confession, a native of Shanxi, came to the bricklayer camp outside the south gate of Zhangjiakou in the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, with Hou Shangxia on the left and Hou Dehui on the right. On March 16 of this year, Tian Zaisheng was instructed to repair and build a warehouse. On May 26, he was taken captive by the Eastern Nu, and because he was sent to the left, he was put into camp for five or six days. It is known that the slaves have come to their mouths, and they have explored all the goods and food in Xiyi, and there is no shortage of food rewards today. There was a rush to guard the mouth of Xiyi Zhuang Ding and there was no survivor, leaving only the young and weak children. And it was also heard that there were ten princes in the slave camp, and one prince was in service. There is still an old camp of the great prince who lives and camps in the Great North. Seeing that now in Yanghe Houkou camped, there are sixteen or seventeen miles along the length, all of them are neat armor, bird guns, cannons, among which there are many people in Liaodong. Each person has two or three good horses, and Xiyi has crossed the Yellow River, and it is forbidden to be nowhere to be seen. There is a different whistle. The slave chieftain has returned to the camp to talk. He said that he wanted to rob the Celestial Empire on June 20. 

On June 14, the fifth year of Xiong Chongzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Shen Ditang, the governor of Xuanfu, reported:

On June 11, the fifth year of Chongzhen, according to Tongguan Huang Juyu, on the morning of the 10th day of the first month of this month, he went to Yuxin to interrogate the Yi woman, and colloquially said that Huang Taiji of the fourth battalion of Dongyi was the head, and there was a small official under Halaqing who did not know his name and did not enter the big camp. His large camp was incorporated into the city of naturalization. 

Xiong Chongzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, inscribed on June 15 of the fifth year, according to Shen Tangbao, the governor of Xuanfu:

Some people who saw the Bianyi people Wubangshi escape from the slave camp, saying that Ang Chaotai Ji and others were originally planted in the chieftains. At that time, the chieftain wanted to kill him, and he rebelled into the camp of the slave chieftain, and promoted Ang Chaotai Ji to the earth snake and rabbit, and used him to lead the army. There were also fried flowers, and they were lured and killed by the chieftain. There was a fried flower boy who killed his father, and the slave fled from the camp of the slave chief. Now Ang mixed Taiji, Nangnu was a slave chieftain, and when he heard the rumors, he led the troops and took revenge. He also declared that after the insertion, he would ruthlessly declare the town.
