On August 13 of the 52nd year of Zhengde, Zakhrev, the governor of the Eastern Siberian province of the Russian Empire, led an army of 200,000 to storm the defense line of the Jurchen Beishan Mountain

The Beishan defense line was impregnable, and the Russian army used twenty large-caliber red-coated cannons to bombard the countless castles of the Beishan defense line, and the Jurchen soldiers stationed there suffered heavy casualties

Late at night on the same day, the general of the expedition to the north of the Delehei light cavalry attack battalion went straight to the Russian army, where the Chinese army passed was in chaos, Zakhrev ordered the Cossacks to attack, quickly wiped out the Delehei department, Delehei was killed in battle, all the soldiers under his command were killed, none of them surrendered, and at this time, the Jurchen elite led by Yan Yeping personally attacked the Russian army, and the elite Cossacks in the battalion had been transferred away, and no one could defeat Yan Yeping, who took the lead and killed 37 Russian soldiers in one fell swoop, broke through the Russian camp in one fell swoop, and killed and wounded more than 18,000 Russian soldiers from the back to the front

However, after all, the Russian fortress defense line was finally captured after holding out for five days

Wanyan Yeping led 7,000 Praetorian Guards and 6,000 infantry troops to retreat into Fengyukou and intercept step by step

When the Russian army finally captured the fifty-mile-long Fengyukou and looked at the Jurchen hinterland, the 200,000-strong army had already lost more than 50,000

And by this time it was already August 23

―――――― Dividing Line――――――

The fire that lasted all morning in Yehe City had been extinguished, and there were broken walls everywhere, and the charred wood was lying in the middle of the road, and there were puffs of white smoke emitting from the mansions, and the mansions where the magnates lived were still well preserved, because when the soldiers of Wu Yi rushed in, although they all had a lot of armed forces such as family guards, most of them chose to kneel outside the gate of the mansion with their families, trembling and waiting for the verdict

Only a very small part of the house turned into ruins, that is the stubborn Jurchen magnates, most of their houses are high and thick, the guards are also very fierce, well-armed, those Jurchen slave soldiers can't be defeated at all, so they have to wait for the artillery thousands of households to enter the city, the cannon bombardment, of course, the end is doomed

Lian Zining promised that those Jurchen slave soldiers could rob them on a large scale, and those who surrendered, they couldn't move, but these puppets were stubborn, they were not welcome, countless Jurchen slave soldiers rushed into the mansion like crazy, and killed every man they saw, as for women, old and young, they were all killed by these Jurchen slave soldiers who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time

At this time, the streets were full of Wu Yi soldiers, they escorted groups of Jurchens to converge in the same direction, some Wu Yi soldiers cleaning the battlefield dragged out a large number of corpses from the luxurious mansions, some had been cut beyond recognition, and the death was miserable, and some were naked, covered with bruises, and their lower bodies were still dripping blood

The Jurchen slave soldiers who were still showing off their might before had already obediently gone out of the city to clean up the battlefield, especially the errand of collecting the spoils of war, Lian Zining was not at ease enough to let them do it

Because Xicheng was far away from the battlefield, a well-preserved mansion was turned into his own headquarters by Lian Zining

All the trophies are gathered here, a team of soldiers carry the loot and unload it to the square in front of the hall, all kinds of loot are piled up into a small mountain, Wang Dachun jumped up and down, happily commanding a group of officials of the logistics department to count, they are all perennial and dealing with numbers, used to doing this kind of business, the efficiency is very high, as you come and count, the abacus in the hands of a dozen or so account clerks, crackling and spitting out numbers from their mouths, while the copywriter responsible for recording is flying

The counted property was immediately transported down and sealed for safekeeping, and some extremely precious and rare things were sent to Lian Zining to play with one by one

Lian Zining sat at the door of the hall, leaning on a large chair, looking at all this with a smile, his eyes full of smiles...,

He liked this feeling very much, if it wasn't for something special and important, he would have to watch it with his own eyes every time he counted the spoils of war after the war, and this feeling of watching his wealth gradually increase, and these increased wealth could be exchanged for more soldiers, soldiers, bigger territory, and higher official positions, made him a little intoxicated

Slowly, Wang Dachun and others also knew that his hobby was naturally actively cooperative

It's already dusk, and the yellow and lazy sun is shining down, making people sleepy

Lian Zining likes dusk quietly, and there is a slight sadness in his heart, and only at this time can he accidentally remember his past life, came to the Ming Dynasty, climbed up step by step over the years, fought in the officialdom and battlefield, fought wars, power struggles, and women, and the city that had already tempered him was extremely deep and even a little dark, so there was a lot less happiness

Looking at the sunset in the distance, Lian Zining inexplicably sounded, everything in his previous life was about to fade and forget in his mind, and it seemed to be just a big dream

Wang Dachun walked over with a smile and interrupted Lian Zining's conjecture, Lian Zining smiled faintly, squinted his eyes and asked: Lao Wang is so happy

His eyes fell on the tray that Wang Dachun was holding in his hand, and the golden tray was covered with red silk, and he didn't know what was inside

Hehe, aren't we just good at this, looking at these treasures one by one, I can't stop laughing, Wang Dachun smiled and responded, and then lifted the red cloth on the tray in his hand, on which were several huge rubies, a total of six, the smallest one has the size of an adult's fist, the largest is enough to have a head, and the color of several rubies is excellent, in the dim sun, flashing in the charming brilliance, like a flame flowing, it can be seen that several gems have not been carefully carved, but the impurities have been removed, and the edges and corners have been slightly polished, so that they shine

If these rubies are taken out, they are naturally rare treasures, but at this time, Lian Zining is full of all kinds of treasures in front of him - the fist-sized big dong pearl carved in gold, the jade is the feather of Haidongqing's thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, almost all have grown into human shapes, and the original manuscripts of the poems of Jin Renyuan are always numerous, and compared with these, a few larger gems are not so prominent

Lian Zining took it in his hand and played with some of it, then put it down and asked: It's almost over

Hi far away, Wang Dachun smiled: We have counted for two hours, but it is only thirty percent, and the officers sent out by the logistics department to keep an eye on the report and many big mansions have just been sealed, and they haven't had time to move yet

He clicked his lips and exclaimed: These Jurchen magnates have accumulated savings for decades, and they are all rich one by one

Lian Zining also cheered himself in his heart, this way of war is his favorite war, plundering, expanding the army, war, plundering again, this is a virtuous circle process, war is not simply for war, but for profit, if a big fight, the casualties are not at all benefit, then what to do in this war

He asked again: How many are expected this time

Wang Dachun pondered for a moment and said: This subordinate official can't say for sure, but now the thirty percent of the statistics have exceeded all that he got in Salhu, and the largest of them is gold and silver, and now the silver has been copied out, and now the silver has been copied out, and the gold has 150,000 taels of sand gold, 30,000 taels of red gold, and more than 500 pieces of extremely large dog's head gold

Doghead gold is also a pure natural gold nugget, which is extremely pure and usually not small in weight

Lian Zining nodded, feeling slightly complacent in his heart, and it turned out that it was extremely correct and wise for him to venture into the Jurchen hinterland, and the undefended Jurchen hinterland gave him countless wealth, as well as the Tenth Guard, which was greatly expanded, and these were the cornerstones of development

By the way, Wang Dachun patted his head and said: I also found a lot of armor, a total of 1,500 pairs of cotton armor, and 500 sets of heavy armor, all of which are marked by our Ming Dynasty, and they are the same as the armor worn by our soldiers...,

Bingjia Lian Zining frowned, his face became gloomy, and he remembered the news of the Han merchant he heard from Delenzha

In addition, there are many young people who are really powerful, and the generals are also wearing cotton armor, how to deal with these, Wang Dachun saw that Lian Zining's face was not good, and asked cautiously

How many are there

There are always more than 3,000 sets, Wang Dachun estimated and said

Lian Zining waved his hand: Wash it and send it down, well, give it to Yang Husheng first, if there is a leftover, Nurhachi and Jin will divide it equally, don't be biased

It's the mark that woke up, and Wang Dachun went down with interest

As soon as he went down, a few of his own soldiers walked quickly in front of Lian Zining and half-knelt down to report: Your Excellency Yang commanded the embassy to catch a lot of Han people, please ask how to deal with it

Han Lian Zining thought of something: Bring the leader over

A moment later, a few soldiers escorted a man in

Lian Zining looked at the visitor carefully, this person was about forty years old, slightly fat, and his face was fair-skinned, but he looked like a dough with a kind face, but the sinister courage that flashed in his eyes from time to time made Lian Zining a little uncomfortable, and it could be seen that this person definitely had means and was more ambitious

Yang Kai felt that he was very unlucky, obviously he was going to leave the next day, but he didn't expect that Ye Hecheng would be captured today, when Wu Yijun entered the city, he didn't resist, let alone disguised himself as a Jurchen to escape, in this era, the gap between the physical characteristics of the Jurchens and the Han people is indeed relatively large

And in his opinion, he will not necessarily die, as long as he can let himself see the generals who lead the army

Then Yang Kai met Lian Zining

When Lian Zining was looking at him, he was also looking at Lian Zining

Lian Zining's youth surprised him, although he had known Lian Zining's age for a long time, but when he saw the real person, he couldn't hide his surprise, in fact, this was also the common idea of all those who saw Lian Zining

This young man was handsome and handsome, just sitting there so casually, but his momentum was as calm and heavy as an abyss mountain, like a lazy tiger, although he did not show his sharp claws, but everyone did not dare to despise it, and even his heart was full of fear, and was swept away by Lian Zining's eyes, Yang Kai palpitated in his heart, and quickly lowered his head

He was horrified in his heart, as a wealthy businessman, one of the important figures in the Yang family, he had also seen many high-ranking officials, not to mention that the uncle of the third grade also met from time to time, but compared with Lian Zining in front of him, it was too far behind

You are Han Lian Zining frowned and asked

It was Yang Kai who settled down, held back the fear in his heart, knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said respectfully: Grass people Jinyang Yang Kai see uncle

Jinyang Yang Kai, you are a member of the Jinyang Yang family, Lian Zining pondered for a moment and said

Yang Kai was once again surprised that Lian Zining was so familiar with the affairs of the domestic business world, but this was nothing, and he said: Caomin is the branch of the Yang family in Jinyang, and now he is the head of the Yang family in Datong

Oh, Lian Zining, the head of the Yang family in Datong, stared at him and said lightly: Jinyang Yang is one of the few wealthy businessmen in China, known as Yang Bancheng, and if I remember well, the current Dali Temple, Lord Yang, is the head of the Yang family in Jinyang

It was Uncle Yang Kai who said cautiously

Lian Zining smiled and said: Yes, Yang Kai was able to branch out a branch of the Yang clan and set up his own portal, so he has made a lot of money doing prohibited business over the years

The adults laughed...... Yang Kai smiled awkwardly, he raised his head, but he just happened to meet Lian Zining's gaze, and those eyes were full of piercing murderous aura that could not be concealed

Yang Kai instantly fell into the ice cellar with a cold body

He could naturally see that Lian Zining was murderous

"How could he want to kill me, what should I do?" Yang Kai's heart was racing rapidly, he remembered the soldiers he trafficked, and immediately knew the reason why Lian Zining wanted to kill himself, not all officials in this world regard soldiers as grass mustard...,

His heart was racing towards a way

Lian Zining just looked at Yang Kai coldly, looking at his face turning blue and white, kneeling on the ground but sweating profusely and not speaking, for him, Yang Kai was already a dead man, but before he died, he always had to squeeze out some value

The grass people had something to say, Yang Kai suddenly straightened his back, his face was full of expression, and he was not afraid

Oh, after that, Lian Zining squinted his eyes and said lightly, Yang Kai's change made him a little surprised, and he could see that this person was extremely bold and very quick, but I didn't know if he could convince himself

Of course, the business done by the grass people is to rob the family and exterminate the clan, but the grass people are just at the right time, even if the grass people don't come to do it, there will be other people to do it, and the adults can't seem to blame only the grass people, the grass people's convoy started in the capital, passed by Baishan Mountain, and went out of Hongci Fort, if the adults want to blame those who let the grass people out of the customs, wouldn't it be the same crime

I will naturally deal with these people one by one, Lian Zining secretly said in his heart, and said lightly: Go on

Moreover, Yang Kai gritted his teeth, a flash of red tide flashed on his face, and he seemed to have made up his mind, staring at Lian Zining word by word: In fact, adults are also businessmen like villains, but what they do is Lu Buwei's business

After saying this, Yang Kai stared straight at Lian Zining, but the corner of his eyes was observing the behavior of the people around him, and to his surprise, the dozens of personal soldiers around Lian Zining were all colorless after hearing his words, as if they had not heard of it

Yang Kai's heart thumped again, and he found that he seemed to underestimate Lian Zining's ambitions

Lian Zining looked at Yang Kai, but he didn't expect that this businessman would have such a vision and courage

He was silent for a moment, but he smiled: Lu Buwei is doing the business of winning the country, and this official does not dare to compare, but what you say also has three meanings, and continue to talk about it

Yang Kai's face was flushed, a touch of madness flashed in his eyes, and he finally said what he held in his heart: I have been to the city wall, and I have seen that your army has at least 100,000 troops, this is an army of 100,000, and the resolute general is leading an army of 100,000 and Mongolia to join forces to besiege Zhenyuan Mansion, I don't know how you sneaked out, but since you have been running long distances to attack the Jurchen hinterland, it is obviously impossible to bring all the soldiers with you, if my guess is right, my lord, the number of troops you left in Zhenyuan Mansion is at least this number, and it is not the act of a smart person like you to lose your foundation for a sneak attack

Lian Zining was silent and said lightly: I have ten guards under my command, only four guards were brought out this time, and there are 150,000 recruits who are training, and now they must be ready to go to the battlefield

Aha, take a look, Yang Kai laughed nervously, and let out a scream: Thirteen guards, and 150,000 recruits, so you will have 300,000 troops, 300,000 troops, ahhaha, the other three generals of the Governorate District add up, and you will have these troops

His tone suddenly became crazy and calm: You should know that when Duoyan Sanwei raised his troops, the total strength was only 300,000, and when the Jurchen broke away from the Ming Dynasty, there were only 60,000 soldiers in total, and not long ago, Yunnan Mu Guogong had 300,000 male soldiers in his hands, and he was already obedient to the imperial court and did not listen to the announcement

He looked at Lian Zining and sneered: There are three surnamed Jurchen and Duoyan Sanwei betrayed in front, and a while ago, there was a case of Mu Guogong, I think even if you are an adult, you don't have the heart to let the court know your strength, I am afraid that the next day, Jinyiwei will lock the door

Lian Zining was silent

The guards around them still didn't seem to hear it, they all followed Lian Zining all the way out, and they had completely integrated with Wu Yijun, Lian Zining was in their everything, Lian Zining died, and they would also be killed in a different place

Interests are always the deepest bond

Lian Zining was silent, Yang Kai's heart was pounding, his face was full of sickly flushes, he was almost crazy, just waiting for Lian Zining's verdict here...,

Lian Zining squinted at Yang Kai's sharp eyes, almost trying to see through him

He finally exhaled: Tell me what you are worth

After Lian Zining asked this, Yang Kai immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and then suddenly found that his whole body was soaked

Sweat through heavy clothing

He didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment, looked at Lian Zining and said: Caomin is just a businessman, and he doesn't know what to do to march and fight, but he has never heard of the defeat of General Gangyi before, and now he must still be under Zhenyuan Mansion

Lian Zining nodded and waved his hand: Sit

A guard moved a stool over, Yang Kai sat next to each other with half of his buttocks, he was not arrogant because of Lian Zining's change of attitude, but even more afraid, he knew that Lian Zining did this because he still had some use, and once he showed his disrespectful color, it would be the time to die

The grass people want to ask your lord, what are you attacking the Nuzhen for?

Lian Zining said: Seize its land and kill its people

Yang Kai gasped, but got up and said: The grass people wish the adults a great contribution to expanding the territory, and they are really the first people in this dynasty

Lian Zining looked at him and teased: I destroyed the Haixi Jurchen, and there will be no place for your business

After all, the grass people are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the adults destroyed the Haixi Jurchens, and the grass people were naturally overjoyed, Yang Kai said righteously, and then the words changed, and he smiled: Besides, you can't destroy all the three surnamed Jurchens

Lian Zining glanced at him deeply, and suddenly smiled: Interesting, you are an interesting person

Yang Kai's words made the atmosphere a little easier

He sneered: My lord, since you can't destroy the three surnamed Jurchens, then the villain is valuable, although you have completely wiped out the Haixi Jurchens now, but the 100,000 army of the Haixi Jurchens is still outside, and the Jianzhou Jurchens are powerful, and they are not adults, you can match the adults now, you can level the Haixi with lightning speed, but once the Jianzhou Jurchens know, then it must be a fierce battle, and my lord, what you want is land, since you have to defend the land, if you defend the land, then you can't escape without a fight, then the intelligence is very important, and the villain has been walking in Jianzhou for many years, there are always some connections, if you can spy on the whereabouts of the Jianzhou Jurchens for adults……

Lian Zining suddenly interrupted him and said: Do you know if there is any traffic artery between the Haixi Jurchen and the Jianzhou Jurchen

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment and said: Yes, according to this, there is Baiying Gorge for three hundred miles, which is the remaining veins of Tuluting Mountain, and the wall is extremely dangerous, and it is the main road from the Haixi Jurchen to the Jianzhou Jurchen

Okay, Lian Zining clapped his hands and beckoned to the soldiers: Go and call Xia Zikai (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.) Vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
