"Those people said that Lao Tzu was from the capital, and the Governor said that he would bring military merits when he went back this time, but in the battle of Datong, the Tartars were frightened, and they didn't dare to provoke us again. Hehe, there's no way, I can only wronged you. Sun Erniu repeated the words he heard last night word for word.

Just after listening to Sun Erniu's retelling, Zhang Ru and Jin Yiwei and the others became strange.

After a long time, Zhang Rucai asked with a pleasant face: "They speak, but what are the official words?" Are you fluent in speech? Was there anything left at the site? ”

Sun Erniu recalled: "What they said was official, but not as fluent as adults, as for whether there were things left at the scene, the grass people don't know." At that time, I was only concerned about running for my life, and I didn't dare to stay for half a moment. ”

Zhang Ru sighed in his heart that Hashid was full of anger when he arranged a huge chess game in order to frame himself, and for the sake of personal grievances, this brute actually ignored the life and death of thousands of people.

He snorted coldly suddenly: "Fan Tong, take people to various villages to check!" All the villages that were washed in blood were checked by Ben General, and if any clues were found, they should be reported immediately. Lao Tzu wants to see how many heads the person who wants to frame my brocade guard has. ”

Hashid wouldn't just let Fan Tong take someone to investigate, and immediately blocked the way: "Now the most suspicious thing is your Jinyiwei's people, Lord Qincha doesn't let others investigate, but lets Jinyiwei's people investigate, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ”

Zhang Ru looked at Hashed with gloomy eyes: "Then according to the meaning of the prince, what should I do?" ”

"There are a lot of border troops in Ningxia Town, and it just doesn't happen to be a war time, if Lord Qincha doesn't mind, this king is willing to let the soldiers under his command help." Hashed is neither yin nor yang.

He said this very viciously, if Zhang Ru did not agree to let his people assist in the investigation, then the spearhead of this bloody village would be pointed at Jinyiwei; If Zhang Ru agrees to let his people investigate together, his people can destroy the evidence at any time if they find anything left. The black cauldron of Jinyiwei is difficult to remove when you carry it on your back.

I thought that Zhang Ru would make excuses, but he nodded happily: "Okay, it just so happens that the manpower under my Jinyi Wei is not enough, and I have to trouble the prince in this matter." Sun Erniu, you follow Ben Jiang for the time being, and see if Ben Jiang is the wolf-hearted person. ”

"This." Sun Erniu was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to follow Zhang Ru or not.

Hashid obstructed again: "Sun Erniu is an important witness, follow Lord Qincha, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Zhang Ru said coldly: "How inappropriate, since Zhang dares to let him follow in front of so many people, then his safety can be guaranteed." Today, Sun Erniu followed the general with all beards and tails, and after finding out the truth in the coming day, the generals could also let him stand in front of all the people in Yinchuan City. ”

"This king is not afraid of what will happen to Sun Erniu, but the night is long and dreamy, if Sun Erniu suddenly changes his tone, then thousands of people under Jiuquan." Hashed said with bad intentions.

Hearing King Hami say this, Sun Erniu, who was already a little hesitant, immediately broke off his thoughts, he shook his head and refused: "The blood sea is deep, you can't help but report it, the adults can check, but please give the adults a time." If the adults find out, please let the adults know, as for the safety of the grass people, please rest assured, the prince will send someone to protect it. ”

Hashed said: "Yes, yes, after all, Lord Zhang is still too young to think about the problem very thoroughly." ”

Zhang Ru nodded helplessly: "That's fine, within five days, Ben will give you an explanation." ”

Hashid smiled and said, "Brothers, go, Lord Zhang, the king will wait for good news." ”

Zhang Ru arched his hand: "The prince is easy to go, don't send it." ”

After the large group of palace guards left, Zhang Ru said to Wang Zhou in a deep voice: "Take my general order, and immediately go to Guyuan and Yansui to transfer troops." Let people inform all the Han generals in Yinchuan City to prepare for battle. ”

"The last will obey."

"Zhang Fugui, bring someone to keep an eye on Hashid's every move, no matter who he sees or where he goes, our people must know."

"The last general obeys!"

"Suliman, take a good look at your people, see how many of them are Hui people, and by the way, tell these people that they don't go out during this time, and it's best to stay in the Thousand Households."

"The last will obey."

After several orders were issued in a row, Zhang Ru walked back to the Thousand Households alone.

Several of his henchmen went out, and only Liu Qi followed him step by step.

Before he walked back to his residence, Zhang Ru suddenly turned to Liu Qi and said, "Liu Jiangsi, during this time, this Ningxia Thousand Households Office will definitely not be peaceful, and I have to trouble you to bring someone to protect the cheap." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "What the commander said, this is the matter of the last general." The governor can rest assured that as long as Liu Qi still has a breath of air, he will not let a person step into the Ningxia Thousand Households. ”

Zhang Ru nodded approvingly: "Well, then I can rest assured." ”

Liu Qi asked puzzledly: "The commander wants to transfer the border army in Guyuan and Yansui, why not transfer the border army in Gansu Town?" Although the number of soldiers in Liangdi is not as good as that of the Yansui border army, it is close to Ningxia, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Yansui border army. ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "What is the most cool land?" ”

Liu Qi scratched his head: "Desert." ”

"Ben is going to ask who is the most populous person in the cool land." Zhang Ru nodded.

Liu Qi's eyes lit up: "Go back to the people." ”

Zhang Ru nodded and said: "Yes, Hui people, Hashid is the king of Hami, and Hamiwei is very close to Gansu Town and belongs to Gansu Town." Although the general soldiers of Gansu Town were Han Chinese, most of the soldiers under his command were Hui people. You said that what I want to deal with is the Hui people, and let the Hui people fight the Hui people, is it appropriate? ”

Liu Qi's heart jumped: "Doesn't the commander want to uproot this Hami king?" ”

Zhang Ru shook his head and said: "There are too many Hui people in Ningxia and Gansu Liangdi, and it is not easy to uproot them, but this hashed must not be kept." Mo said that he had great hostility towards Ben Jiang, that is, he had no hostility towards Ben Jiang, just because he let his subordinates slaughter more than 2,000 people, Ben Jiang would definitely not let him go.

Letting such a person guard the border of Daming is not good for Daming, nor is it good for Donggong.

The reason why the people on the Hetao Plain were defeated was because the king of Hami refused to send people to help. If it weren't for this timid and fearful Hashid who had done a bad thing, I am afraid that the Hetao Plain is still my Ming now. ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks to the Datong Battle facilitated by the commander, the Hetao Plain is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhang Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, now the Hetao Plain is still in the hands of the Tatars. Our Ming border army did not dare to be stationed in the Hetao Plain, and those grassland tribes often came to the Hetao Plain to graze horses and sheep. It was my fault that the Great Harmony War back then. ”

"No, the commander is right, if it weren't for the commander, I'm afraid that half of the Ming Dynasty would be gone." Liu Qi said categorically.

Zhang Ru sighed and said, "But in that battle, many people died, including your cousin. ”

Liu Qi's eyes were firm, and he looked at Zhang Ru kneeling on one knee: "Liu Peng died well, he died for the Ming Dynasty, it was the commander who gave him the opportunity to serve the court, and it was the commander who gave him the opportunity to leave a name in history." He has knowledge under the nine springs, and he will only be grateful to the commander. ”

"That's it, don't dwell on this issue anymore, leave the merits and demerits to future generations to comment. You go to the defense first, and you will have something to do. Zhang Ru casually commanded, and hurried away.

Hashed was very dissatisfied with the failure to bloody the Jinyi Wei Qianhu House, in fact, it was not that his men were unwilling to do it, but that he himself was cowardly when facing those crossbows and muskets, and he did not even give the order to attack.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Hashid was furious.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of horsemen quickly left the palace and rushed towards the villages and tribes around Yinchuan City.

"On the orders of the prince, the soldiers of each village are temporarily recruited, and there are a total of 270 people in your Li Village, and there are 60 strong men." The palace guards looked at the condescending old man of the village who was trembling in the war.

"But there's another war?" The clan elder asked for some reason.

The guard angrily whipped the old man in the face: "Old thing, why do you ask so much, as long as you get people out, someone will naturally take you to do other things." ”

After being whipped, the clan elder didn't dare to ask, so he had to tell the descendants of the family to hurry up and gather people in the village.

Soon, the people of the villages were gathered together, led by the royal guards, towards Yinchuan City.

Fan Tong, who was in charge of investigating the truth, took dozens of brocade-clothed guards and a group of royal palace guards to investigate one village after another, but the results of the investigation made his head big.

It's not that it's not clean, it's too clean, and all traces of the scene have been erased except for the blood-soaked corpses that prove that someone really did a bloodbath on the village. Even the village was burned down by the murderers who suddenly appeared.

Trying to find evidence in a pile of ruins is a complete dream.

In addition, no matter where they went, there was a group of royal guards staring at them like flies, and the people of the Jinyi Guards had no way to start if they wanted to forge evidence.

All seven villages were gone, and Fan Tong, who had found nothing, went back to his life.

After hearing Fan Tong finish talking about the situation, Zhang Ru's already gloomy face became more and more gloomy.

Several henchmen didn't dare to come out, for fear that Zhang Ru would suddenly be angry.

They didn't wait for Zhang Ru's anger, but were dispersed again, but this time Zhang Ru didn't let them investigate anything, but let them take the people of Jinyi Wei and lurk in the place where Hashid frequented.

After thinking about it for an afternoon, Zhang Ru finally figured out that the most reliable way to break all this is to take down Hashed.
