"Why don't you kill them?" Seeing that Gao Yang just asked people to take Qian Zexiu away and lock him up, he couldn't help but ask out loud in confusion: "They are all experienced horse thieves in Li Zicheng's old camp." In this age of murder without blinking, you don't know what these horse thieves have done, right? ”

"Of course I do." Gao Yang waved his hand and leaned back into his chair. Lowering his eyelids, he whispered, "I just feel that killing them now is a bit too wasteful, these are all valuable human resources." It's much better to use it as cannon fodder on the battlefield than to kill it right here. It's really not possible to send it to the mine is also very promising, this era can not afford to play mechanization, it still requires a lot of strong labor. Otherwise, what did the Manchu Qing Dynasty do when they entered the customs and arrested so many people? It's because they don't have a lot of labor. ”

"I see." Yuan nodded, he understood.

"Alright." Gao Yang raised his wrist and looked at the time, showing a wry smile, and said helplessly, "It's too difficult to take a nap, but now it's finally quiet." You can rest for a while, too. ”

Qian Zexiu was thrown back to his accomplices by the GIs. Next to the official road, there is a small dry open space surrounded on all sides by tents.

"Big, big brother." As soon as the sergeants left, the horse thieves immediately surrounded Qian Zexiu to untie the ropes on Qian Zexiu's body, and pulled Qian Zexiu to ask questions. They all thought they were going to die this time. Although they are not as good as Jianyu, their heads are also silver!

"Humph!" Qian Zexiu, who had a cold face, snorted coldly, and sat up with a flick of his arms. Da Ma Jindao sat on the ground, staring sharply at his men. The face with thick eyebrows and big eyes was full of determination, and he shouted to his subordinates: "As soon as Lao Tzu arrived in front of the big official, he loudly scolded them, the fish and meat people who were officials, and made the heavens angry and resentful, and we had no choice but to obey the thieves." If all the officials were in charge of the people, wouldn't the world have already been peaceful? The official was very kind at that time and said that what I said was reasonable, and wanted to recruit them. I made a lot of requests, and he agreed to them all. Brothers, we will be officers and soldiers in the future! ”

The horse thieves burst into cheers. Finally saved this life, which is more important than anything else. People who kill people are actually more afraid of death. Because they know how miserable it is.

Looking at the subordinates who cheered and rejoiced that they had stolen the rest of their lives, Qian Zexiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since the official was not going to kill them on the spot, he must have wanted to recruit An. Then he, Qian Zexiu, naturally has to brag in front of his subordinates first to maintain his position. Even if he recruits him, Qian Zexiu will be an official. If his subordinates are disobedient, then don't they want to be a big soldier? Danger aside, when will there be a day to emerge?

"Big brother." A fellow villager who has followed him for many years stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Since you have already recruited An, why do you want to confine us here?" ”

"You fool!" Qian Zexiu rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and scolded in a low voice, "We just took refuge, so naturally we have to be more prepared." When he goes to the battlefield in the future and makes some great achievements to capture the flag, and shows the powerful means of our brothers, it will naturally be his own people. Don't even understand this? ”

After Qian Zexiu finished speaking, he quietly looked left and right, and saw that his subordinates did not pay attention to this, and then said in a low voice, "Be honest, this group of officers and soldiers is different from what they have encountered in the past." Whoever provokes something to fight it himself. ”

The henchman swallowed his saliva, his eyes were glazed, and he said with some difficulty, "Big brother, the brothers are hungry at this time, can you find the officers and soldiers to get something to eat?" ”

Qian Zexiu glanced at him and said coldly, "You can get it yourself!" "Because the weather was so hot, the men of the Forces nouvelles did not set up a stove at noon. The sergeants all eat, and the military dry rations they carried with them made a meal with the water in the kettle, where would these captives eat?

"Big brother." The henchman was stunned and didn't dare to mention it again. lowered his head and leaned into Qian Zexiu's ear, and whispered, "Then why don't we go back to King Chuang?" ”

Qian Zexiu lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice, "I can't talk about this now." ”

......

The sun began to set after a long day, and the weather finally became cooler. The army under Gao Yang packed up his things and continued to move along the official road. All the way to the forward troops, they spent the night in a simple military camp set up near Jizhou, not far ahead. The next day, we continued in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

The distance from Jingshi to Shanhaiguan is actually not too far. Gaoyang's army went all the way to Shanhaiguan along the official roads of Tongzhou, Jizhou, Qian'an, and Yongping. After a long journey of more than ten days, Gao Yang's army came to the vicinity of the majestic first pass of the world. In Wulitai, a small village five miles away from Shanhaiguan, he met Gao Di, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, who came to greet him.

"Why is this called Wulitai? Is it because it is still five miles away from Shanhaiguan? Walking in this dilapidated village, Gao Yang asked in confusion.

"National Teacher Mingjian." Following him, Gao Di, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, bowed slightly and said, "This place is indeed named after this." National teacher, please look at the earthen platform in front, this is the place where the general Meng Tian built the military training book during the Qin Shi Huang's Eastern Expedition. After the stone river in front of the village, there is a Erlang temple built in the Liao period on the corner mountain next to it, the environment is elegant, and there is a Wenmu preparatory hall built for the students who are rushing to take the exam. The lower officials have already set up a banquet in it, and dare to ask the adults to go and rest for a while. ”

"After crossing the Shihe River, it's Shanhaiguan, right?" Gao Yang didn't mention the banquet, and paused to look at the big river in front of the village. Raising his chin, narrowing his eyes slightly, he asked in a low voice.

"Exactly." Gao Di, whose face turned pale, hurriedly bowed forward and responded. He is different from ordinary generals, he is a eunuch! If he annoys this national teacher, who is very trusted by the emperor, then his road will be considered to be at the end.

"Cross the river!" Gao Yang's face was grim, he waved his big hand, and shouted in a deep voice, "Spend the night in Shanhaiguan tonight!" ”

......

When Gao Yang left Shanhaiguan, he took Gao Di and his nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses with him, leaving only about 3,000 New Army sergeants and tens of thousands of villagers guarding this choke point. Even if he was reluctant in his heart, Gao Di did not dare to disobey Gao Yang's order, after all, he was still an official of the Ming Dynasty at the moment. Gao Yang wanted to take him to rescue Ning Yuancheng, but he didn't dare to say a word. Of course, if the situation is not right, it is not always possible for Gao Di to continue to play the long-distance running strength of the Guan Ning Army.

"How do you feel like the weather is getting cooler all of a sudden?" On the way to Ningyuan, Gao Yang, who was riding on a war horse, looked up at the weather and asked a little depressedly. He deliberately brought a full set of summer clothes from modern time and space, and now they are all useless.

"Because you've already passed Yanshan." Yuan Dian explained: "The cold air from the north and south is blocked by the tall Yanshan Mountain Range. And this side is also close to the sea, so naturally it is hot inside the gate and cool outside the gate. You come from inside the gate to outside the gate, and the transition between hot and cold is relatively large, so it feels more obvious. ”

"I see." Gao Yang nodded seriously, bowed slightly, clasped his hands together and saluted, "Thank you for your popular science, I have been taught." ”

“...... You're boring enough. The origin said depressedly.

"Huh." The long-distance march was too boring, and Gao Yang had to make a joke with the origin to relieve his boredom. Fortunately, the journey from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan is not far, and it is only 200 miles in total. Originally, several small fortresses were built along the way, but by this time all of them had already been occupied by the Manchu army. After demolishing several forts, the Manchu army left only one fort of Ningyuan Zuowei, which was closer to Ningyuan City. An army was stationed to deal with the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Dolgon, the Manchu regent besieging Ningyuan City, had already learned through the news transmitted to him by various forces that the Ming court had sent reinforcements to Ningyuan City as usual. Unlike the previous time, when hundreds of thousands of troops came to help, only tens of thousands of people came over this time. Even if the Gaodi Department of Shanhaiguan is also brought, the soldiers who can fight are only in the early 50,000s. Moreover, most of that army was recruited in the Beijing Division and Beizhili during the year, and its combat effectiveness was naturally self-evident.

Combined with the previous combat experience, the Manchu princes and ministers did not take this support army seriously. Everyone thinks that it is just the last fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty, and sending a group of peasant soldiers to rescue Ningyuan City in the hands of more than 100,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition troops? Pure nonsense! These peasants can't even beat their coated minions!

At this moment, Dolgon's attention was all on solving Wu Sangui's department in Ningyuan City. As long as the last elite of the Ming Dynasty is eliminated or surrendered, the Manchu Qing will completely occupy the entire north and open all the passages to the south.

Dolgon dug pits on all sides to besiege the city, and at the same time mobilized all kinds of artillery to storm Ningyuan City. On the one hand, he instructed Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou and others to constantly persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, and the conditions offered were also good. As for the Ming reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, Dolgon, who completely despised Gaoyang, handed over the task of defeating this Ming reinforcement to his seventh brother, Abatai, the king of Raoyu County.

At this moment, the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces, which had completed the preparations for the battle, were attacking Ningyuan City on a large scale. The Manchu army mobilized as many as forty or fifty Hongyi cannons, in addition to hundreds of small bronze cannons, large generals, and large and small artillery. All of a sudden, the sky above Ningyuan City rained arrows and cannons. Wu Sangui's subordinates, who were trapped in Ningyuan City, were in great distress, and the army's morale was fluctuating. If it weren't for the deep blood feud between the two sides in the past ten or twenty years, it would have been too deep, and Wu Sangui might have surrendered before Gao Yang's reinforcements came.

In the Ningyuan Left Guard Fort south of Ningyuan City, Abatai, the king of Raoyu County of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, led his own armor soldiers, 1152
