Pointing to the surrounding situation, Zhao Guohua said: "Niu Huan, you are the scout captain, you take ten brothers to find a guide nearby, I want to ask about the situation here." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes." Niu Huan said, about to leave.

Seeing that he was arrogant, Zhao Guohua said, "You wait." ”

"What else does the captain have to command?" Niu Huan turned around and asked.

Looking at him, Zhao Guohua said: "Niu Huan, you may encounter Tartars here at any time, you must be careful, in order to avoid possible dangers, you take ten commandos with you." ”

"Thank you, Captain." Niu Huan said movingly, saluted a military salute, and rode away with ten scouts, and the soldiers of the ten commandos rode up to follow.

Seeing Niu Huan and them leaving, Zhao Guohua looked at the empty terrain and thought: "The terrain here is flat, the terrain is open, there is no danger to defend, once there is a large group of Tartar cavalry, it will be troublesome, and you must find a village to rely on." ”

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Everyone go quickly, and rest again when you get to the village in front, it is very dangerous here." Tartar cavalry will appear at any time. ”

Hearing what he said, everyone immediately walked quickly towards the village in the distance.

After entering the village and arranging defenses, Zhao Guohua walked around the village at will, and there were more than 200 households in this village with locks on their doors, indicating that there was no one inside.

Because of its proximity to Jingshi, life in the village looks a little better than in the countryside of YX County, and the houses are more decent.

After walking around the village, he couldn't find anyone, so Zhao Guohua had to sit on a big stone mill at the entrance of the village to rest, there was a well next to the big stone mill, and he fetched water and tasted it, which was cool and sweet.

Drinking water, Lu Qing said, "Captain, what do you plan to do next?" ”

"Wait until you find out the situation before you can decide." Zhao Guohua looked into the distance and said thoughtfully.

"That's just as well." Lu Qing said.

After resting for a while, Zhao Guohua went to check the defense and vigilance in the village again, and Cheng Chong was responsible for the defense and vigilance in the village. ”

"Cheng Chong, this place is extremely dangerous, the Tartar army will appear at any time, if we are careless, we will stay here forever, so don't be careless." Zhao Guohua looked at him and said in a serious tone.

Thinking of the fear of the Tartars when he was in Nanyang, Cheng Chong said embarrassedly: "Captain, you scolded right when you were in Nanyang, the Tartars are also human beings, and they can be killed to death, we shouldn't be afraid of them." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua looked at him approvingly, and said: "It's right that you have this understanding, you recruit Zhang Shun, Lu Qing, Liu Youtian and some squadron leaders, while you are free now, I will shake the old bottom of the Tartar with you, and you will know that the Tartar is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"Good. I'm going to call them over. Cheng Chong happily called someone to go

After a while, everyone arrived, and seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Guohua said: "We are about to fight with the Tartars, I know that some people are a little afraid of the Tartars, so I summoned everyone over and talked about the old bottom of the Tartars, when you know the details of the Tartars, you will not be afraid of the Tartars,"

"Okay. All right. Zhang Shun said loudly.

After glancing at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "Tartar started in Liaodong, the father of the Tartar Emperor Huang Taiji is called Nurhachi, it turned out to be the attendant of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, Nurhachi's father is named Takshi, grandfather Jue Chang'an is the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty, Jianzhou Sanwei was suppressed because of his betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, Jue Chang'an and Takshi were mistakenly killed in the process, and later Nurhachi used this as an excuse to gather the people and began to expand their strength. As his strength expanded, he began to covet the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that he was afraid of Li Chengliang's strength, and he didn't dare to act rashly. As soon as Li Chengliang died, he began to attack Daming. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of water, looked at everyone, and then continued: "Later, the imperial court sent a fool named Yang Qi as the commander to lead the 130,000 Ming army to conquer Nurhachi......

Hearing this, Cheng Chong asked, "Captain, isn't it a fool for Yang Qi to do this?" ”

Zhao Guohua said sarcastically: "This Yang Qian may have read too many books and read stupidly, or, his head may have been caught by the door and became stupid, otherwise, this matter cannot be explained." ”

"The captain is right, only a fool can do this." Zhang Shun said.

Looking at Zhao Guohua, Lu Qing said: "I don't read too many books, but I read stupidly, Sun Tzu said at the beginning of the Art of War, soldiers, treacherous, he doesn't even understand this, and he still commands what to fight...... Fighting with **, it's almost the same. ”

"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed.

After everyone laughed, Zhao Guohua continued: "With this letter, Nurhachi laid an ambush in the Daling River, and the 130,000 Ming army was defeated by Nurhachi. So it's not that the Tartars are too powerful, but that the Ming is too incompetent. ”

After saying this, Zhao Guohua said again: "This time the commander of the army came to attack the Ming Dynasty is Huang Taiji's elder brother Azig and younger brother Abatai, Huang Taiji also has two younger brothers, one is called Dolgon, the other is called Duoduo, these two people are very good at fighting, and we will meet these two people in the future." ”

"Captain, how do you know so much about the Nurhachi family?" Liu Youtian asked puzzled.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said: "I have long thought that there will be this day, so I have long started to collect their information. ”

"Captain, Captain Niu Huan is back." A soldier ran over to report.

Zhao Guohua stood up and said, "Call him here." ”

"Yes." The soldier said, raising his hands and saluting.

Soon, Niu Huan came, followed by a man dressed as a businessman in his forties.

"Report to the captain, the guide has been found." Niu Huan said, raising his hand and saluting.

After returning the salute, Zhao Guohua said: "Okay, your task is well completed, and you can rest on the side." Let me find out about the current situation in Kyoshi. ”

"Yes." Niu Huan said and stood aside.

The guide Niu Huan found was called Wang Dashan, forty years old this year, and when he heard that the Tartars had come to Beijing, he took his family to hide on a nearby mountain, and was discovered by Niu Huan when he came down to inquire about the situation today, so he was half-forced and half-coaxed to get here.

When he arrived here, he couldn't help but look strangely when he saw the soldiers in the black and blue uniforms, because the uniforms of the officers and soldiers were not like this, but after looking around, he still couldn't figure out what kind of team this was, but one thing he was sure of was that these people were not Tartars.

Looking at him, Zhao Guohua asked, "This big brother, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! This military master, the villain's name is Wang Dashan, forty years old this year, and he is a resident of the neighborhood. Wang Dashan bowed and said a little nervously.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, we are here to fight Tartars in Beijing." ”

"You're here to fight the Tartars?" Wang Dashan asked in surprise.

"Yes. Yes. Zhao Guohua nodded with a smile

Looking at him and the others, Wang Dashan asked, "How many of you came?" ”

"What are you asking for?" Zhao Guohua asked with a smile. If it was a Tartar spy, he wouldn't mind slaughtering him. Although this person is also a Ming peasant.

Seeing that Zhao Guohua's face changed, Wang Dashan hurriedly said: "This military master, don't get me wrong, I'm afraid that you will suffer if you come less, and there are too many people in the Tartars, boundless, and there are hundreds of thousands of people." ”

"Oh, I see. I ask you, where is this? What is the current situation in Jingshi? Have the Tartars been here? Zhao Guohua asked one after another.

"Master Yujun, this is Zhuozhou, more than 100 miles away from Jingshi in the north, more than 300 miles away from TJ in the southeast, and 1560 miles away from Baoding in the south." Wang Dashan said.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Guohua suddenly became vigilant, how could ordinary people know this, this person must not be an ordinary person. So they made a look, and everyone immediately surrounded this person.

"You, you're going to ...... What are you going to do...... I can, but the good people ......," the man stammered in fright.

Staring at him, Zhao Guohua asked sharply: "Say, how do you know the distance from here to BJTJ and Baoding?" Who the hell are you? If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you. ”

After hesitating for a while, this person said: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, my real name is Wang Dashan, my real name is Wang Ming, I am the master of Fangshan County, I heard that the Tartars entered the customs, I sent my wife and children to the countryside of Zhuozhou, my hometown, and when I settled my wife and children and wanted to go back, Fangshan has been attacked by the Tartars, I have nowhere to go, only to stay in this countryside, a few days ago a team of forty or fifty Tartars suddenly came here, killed some people, and snatched dozens of young women. Everyone was afraid of being poisoned by the Tartars again, so they hid everywhere, and my wife and children and a few neighbors hid in a nearby mountain. ”

"It turned out to be the king's book, no wonder I know these things that ordinary people don't know. Sorry to frighten you. Zhao Guohua smiled and apologized.

The main book is the same as the county Cheng, and he is the deputy of the county, but the grade is lower than that of the county, and there is only the ninth grade. It is in charge of the grain and horses, taxes, household registration, patrol and other affairs of a county with the county.

Looking at him, Zhao Guohua said: "Master Wang, let me ask, how serious is the recent situation in Jingshi?" ”
