Chapter 0269: Prologue to the Siege
"Hurry, hurry up, it looks like we'll be able to call it a day before tonight, and when the time comes, Houjin will be the turtle in the urn, and you can play as much as you want......"
Under the scorching sun, a group of people and horses are rushing to work, Wang Wu is riding his horse back and forth like a market vendor shouting, in addition to more than 20,000 soldiers, there are more than 10,000 people in the ranks of rushing to work, as for the remaining thousands of soldiers, five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry patrol. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"General Wang, this group of Tartars is really careful, more than a dozen secret posts have been solved today...... "A soldier is looking for the right time to report.
"Okay, don't ask for merit, kid," Wang Wu scolded with a smile, "This wall should have been completed a long time ago, no matter how careful the pigtail is, it's okay, it's just a reinforcement these days, go back and take the head of the person to receive the reward......"
Cement, what a magical thing.
......
......
On the school ground, a pile of corpses did make Ning Zhiyuan a little uncomfortable, he had killed people and seen many corpses, but such a large number of corpses of squires and evil slaves who seemed to have no power to resist were piled up, but it was unique.
He couldn't tell whether he was cruel or merciful.
The public hall opened in the city before, in order to give an explanation to the living bullied and oppressed people, I believe that most of it has been resolved, but Ning Zhiyuan knows that the evil things that this group of squire landlords have done over the years are by no means limited to this, and the dead people will not speak.
Today, there are many people around the school grounds.
"You say, in addition to this money man, he has killed eight innocent people, and his family and servants robbed twelve people's daughters, should he die?" Ning Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and asked expressionlessly, today he handed over the fate of these landlords to the people to decide, his discomfort was not because of pity, but simply because of discomfort.
Qian Rolling's face was already pale, and several of his house slaves were pushed out together, their faces were not half bloody, but they instinctively looked at the people, showing a pleading look, they knew that it was the person who could decide their life and death.
Some of the people are indignant, some are relieved, and some are merciful, which is enough to show that the crimes of this outsider are different from those officials, and their crimes of rebellion are real, and Ning Zhiyuan can kill them without scruples.
More than 50 people stood up and accused the Qian family of their crimes, every sentence was reasonable, there was blood and tears, and the official Ning waved his hand, without saying a word, and beheaded ......
......
......
Dealing with these idle things lasted until very late, for a long time, but the onlookers didn't seem to be the slightest tired, Ning Zhiyuan really wanted to dispose of all these people in one go, if it was a night, the night was long and dreamy, he believed that the vast majority of the people were honest and duty-bound, but if the current situation was not used to colluding to see a certain squire, it would be easy to kill them.
He doesn't claim to be a benevolent man, but he doesn't let people kill with a knife.
Ning Daguan didn't wait so long to go back to the camp, before he also ordered thousands of people to arrest those lords in the city who had not recruited troops and horses, thinking that it would not be possible to gather a crowd to judge, if the evil was full of money and killed directly, the landlords who were still restrained would not be forced to rob their family property, although among the landlords and gentry, Ning Zhiyuan knew that his reputation had become stinky, but he always felt that he had a very bottom line.
Hai Lanzhu now has two maids by her side, and when the situation changes, she still has to be served, and the place where she lives is next to the big camp tent of Ning Daguan, and Li Yuran also lives with her, and she is treated differently, and it is better for people who are pregnant to not sleep with too many people, although everyone does not have the habit of Zhou Zhi's girl who likes to kick her legs when she sleeps, but if it is pressed, it is too late for Ning Daguan to cry.
Seeing Ning Zhiyuan enter the door, the women didn't have any abnormal reactions, but Li Yuran looked at him, his face turned uncontrollably red, the man winked at her, and then greeted him with a smile, but Li Yuran got up and left in a hurry, at least for now, she didn't want to be with so many girls.
......
......
After some clouds and rain, Li Jin twisted his body in Ning Zhiyuan's arms and snorted, "Dead Yu'er take your hand away." ”
Da Yu'er laughed a few times, still put her hand on the other party's chest, and opened the topic, "Husband, Huang Taiji has been here for five or six days, why don't you go to war and still deal with these trivial things......
"............" Ning Daguan was speechless, and patted the warp of a certain Mongolian girl. "What a messy little thing, this is a big thing related to the whole city to eat." ”
"That's it, husband, I know that fighting a war is the most profitable, but I never knew that such a small war is so profitable, how long has it been, the materials you purchased from Ningxia and the money you earned in the Datong shop have already reached three or four hundred taels ......."
"It's nothing, I think there are still tens of millions of taels in the account these days, and I will definitely be able to spend them all, Huang Taiji... Hum... If you take money and smash him, you will stun him. Ning Zhiyuan hummed. Yu'er, do you say that? ”
Da Yu'er was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly said, "Yes, you seem to have gotten bigger again......"
Li Jin pounced on it with his teeth and claws, and Ning Daguan looked at the top of the tent helplessly, feeling the two women on the left and right sides of his arms scuffling together, and his smooth white and tender body made him dizzy, although he was very reluctant to give up this scene, he still separated them for the sake of harmony, and it was easy to do it with his current force.
"Husband, I heard that many people in the city are dissatisfied with us." Li Jinyi was a little out of breath after the scuffle with Da Yu'er just now, and his face turned red and got down to business, "They said that you handed over all the lists of Datong's purchases to me, that is, you earned the money of the imperial court yourself, and you don't know how much silver was greedy?" ”
"What's wrong with that, how are you upset today?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled disdainfully, "No matter what they say, this is because the husband didn't do anything to them, but he became active." ”
"It's just that I'm not happy, people obviously rely on their own strength to make money......"
"Haha......" Da Yu'er smiled, and then pulled Kou Baimen, who was covered in the quilt beside her, into her arms, and the four of them fell asleep in a unique way......
......
......
Huang Taiji's heart was a little relaxed, it was already the seventh day of his arrival in Datong, the crops all over the sky made him feel very good, and more importantly, he had occupied most of the guards and roads in Datong, worried that he had been overwhelmed by the possibility of expanding the territory, and originally just wanted to come and play, interfere with the bandit suppression action in the Ming Dynasty, and help his comrades-in-arms, who knows, it is so simple.
Before this, Huang Taiji never thought that he could capture Datong, after all, siege is not their strong point, but they have enough time, and it is not impossible, to occupy these more than 100 guards, and then guard these fertile fields, they can be completely self-sufficient, do not need to transport grain from Mongolia, fight a protracted war, Huang Taiji felt that the future of Houjin suddenly became brighter.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to come out and confront themselves head-on, and now that they occupy the entire Datong outer line, they can't do it if they don't fight, Chongzhen Xiao'er should also be angry......
"Great Khan ......" A rapid sound interrupted Huang Taiji's reverie, causing him to frown, and waved his hand to let someone come forward.
"Great Khan, our general who stayed behind on the outside road came with news today, saying that something was wrong, and he sent several scouts to check the situation outside, but there was no ......return," the soldier bowed his head and said resignedly, on the battlefield, he is a warrior, and under the battlefield, he is a minion.
"No news?" Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, his heart tightened, and he said sharply, "There is indeed no news!" How many days has this been the case? ”
"Three... It's been three or four days......" the soldier said, looking very worried.
"Why did you only report it now on the third or fourth day!" Huang Taiji suddenly became very angry, he didn't know why, he became very worried when he heard the news, and waved away.
"Wen Cheng, Fan Wencheng ......" Huang Taiji shouted as he walked quickly, and after a while, an emaciated figure hurriedly appeared in front of him.
"What's the matter with the big man?" Fan Wencheng asked with a little gasp, I don't know why.
"Is the food officer back?" Huang Taiji asked a little hurriedly, unspeakably anxious in his heart, more than ten years of military career, this time Huang Taiji had a premonition that he didn't want to.
"Great Khan, ...... you" Fan Wencheng just wanted to ask something, but looked at Huang Taiji's gloomy expression and swallowed, "Yesterday, the grain urging officer just set off, and there is no response for the time being, and I will know as soon as tomorrow that there are still five days of food left in the army." ”
This answer is very insightful but very comprehensive, as a Han man with a transcendent status in the Later Jin Army, he has his own skills, as a Han scholar, he has won the trust of Huang Taiji for the delicate and decent handling of political affairs.
......
......
"The warrior scouts from outside can't be sent out......" Huang Taiji finally said in a deep voice, he didn't know what he was worried about.
There were already many people in the tent, and their faces were stunned after hearing this.
"Ah......" Fan Wencheng was taken aback, and then felt that his reaction was too intense, but it is no wonder that he is just a scholar, or a traitorous scholar, who has been unsuccessful in Daming for many years, but he has stood out here in Houjin, although he still has no dignity.
His strangeness lies in the strangeness of things, and he can only wait for Huang Taiji's decision.
"Send two teams of 100 scouts, act separately, go early and return early." Huang Taiji closed his eyes and ordered, "No matter what, we have to send someone back tomorrow." ”
At this time, it was less than half an hour before the soldier who reported the news arrived, and Huang Taiji's army reacted quickly.
......
......
"General, one more is solved." A soldier cheerfully held a pigtailed human head and said the good news.
Wang Wu smiled heartily, "Good boy, it's very good, hang it on the wall." ”
The soldier complied, and then came back again, watching Wang Wu personally fill in a sum for himself in the military merit account book, "You can take this silver now, but I'm afraid of losing it, it's better to go back and get it, and if you can't go back, you can send it to your family." ”
The soldier nodded and smiled innocently, "General, I just believe in you, you won't die in the dark night." ”
Wang Wu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the guillotine in the soldier's right hand, which was a commonly used weapon in Hou Jin, and asked, "Do you know why Gongzi wants you to hold their knives with human heads?" ”
The soldier shook his head in confusion.
"If you don't have to do this on the battlefield, you don't have to cut off people's heads, I'm afraid that some ruffians will kill innocent people, shave their hair, and get a reward for their heads." Wang Wudao.
"How can there be such soldiers?" The young soldier was a little confused, he was the group of soldiers who had only been recruited a few months ago, and his mind was very pure.
Wang Wu smiled, didn't say anything more, and looked not far away.
On the wall, in addition to the scouts captured in the past few days, there are also several small groups of Houjin troops on the periphery who have also been completely wiped out, and more than 100 people are hanging on their heads, which looks extremely tragic.
......
......
"Great Khan, I waited for twenty miles to advance without abnormality, and the chief of Niu Lu sent the little one back to tell you."
Listening to the soldier's report, Huang Taiji did not relax in the slightest, but if he was not forced to do so, he would definitely not retreat with the whole army, otherwise all his hard work in the past few days would have been in vain.
"The grain urging officer hasn't returned yet?" Huang Taiji frowned and asked the man next to him.
"Not ...... yet," Fan Wencheng said respectfully. If it's okay, you can return to ...... tomorrow at the latest."
"Report ......" Brother Yu's soldiers rushed from the front with a happy face, "Great Khan, the last obscenity approaching Datong has been captured by us, and now you can see the main city of Datong." ”
"Yes......" Huang Taiji smiled when he heard it, and put aside the troubles for the time being, waved his hand, and said domineeringly, "Follow this king to the city!" This king wants to see what kind of famous hall the yellow-mouthed child plays. ”
The enlightenment of the Houjin culture is only a hundred years, yes, Huang Taiji, the leader of the backward race, even if he can fight again, he doesn't know that there is a thing called cement, which can become a city in one day under the scorching sun.
......
......
In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen was a little irritable.
Datong has completely lost contact, he can't help but be anxious, Ning Zhiyuan used to pass on some information from time to time, but now there is also it, but there is only one sentence every time, Datong is fine.
Well? How good could it be? I don't want to know what the situation is, and when I lose, I can't send Guan Ning Iron Cavalry to save the field!
If the barrier in the northwest of Jingshi falls into the hands of Houjin, Chongzhen doesn't dare to imagine what will happen, and Ning Zhiyuan, he won't really collaborate with the enemy, although it is unreliable to think about, but what if?
Hearing a eunuch's report, Chongzhen rubbed his forehead and ordered, "Let's get up and drive Yi'an Palace." ”
I was just upset, so I asked the imperial sister-in-law to solve my worries, and by the way, I got rid of that scourge, which made me unhappy and hit my own anger. (To be continued.) )
