Millizhou, Mafu Warm Pavilion.

Ma Degong handed a letter to Tian Xiong and said in a heavy tone: "Brother Tian, look at this. ”

Tian Xiong took the letter and read it hurriedly, and then his face changed greatly: "What, Wang Pu asked us to go to Mengcheng to see him?" ”

"yes." Ma Degong sighed in annoyance and frowned, "I'm wondering, did we accidentally do things and leak the news?" ”

"Mr. Ma." Tian Xiong's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "You don't suspect me of secretly telling Wang Pu, right?" ”

"Hey, where do you want to go?" Ma Degong hurriedly explained, "You and I are already grasshoppers on a rope now, you can't walk and you can't run away from me, how can you tell Wang Pu, I suspect that your family will be four dogs, is it possible to secretly tell Wang Pu?" ”

"No way." Tian Xiong said categorically, "The four dogs have followed me for many years and have always been loyal!" ”

"That's weird." Ma Degong frowned and said, "If the matter is not revealed, why won't Wang Pu come to Haozhou, why do you and I have to go to Mengcheng to see him?" ”

Tian Xiong thought for a while and said, "Brother Ma, are we thinking too much?" ”

Ma Degong said: "How do you say this? ”

Tian Xiong said: "This may also be Wang Pu's posing score, deliberately letting us go all the way to Mengcheng to see him, so as to show his high power." ”

"There's some truth to that." Ma Degong nodded, and said, "Then shall we go or not?" ”

"Let me think about it." Tian Xiong scratched his head and muttered, "Although Wang Pu came to Fengyang this time for the 60,000 horses under you and me, but according to his style in Gaoyou, although he disintegrated the army of more than 100,000 troops in the six towns of Jiangbei, Li Benshen and Li Chengdong were unsca......thed."

Ma Degong frowned, and said in a low voice: "You mean...... Where can you go to Mong? ”

"At least Wang Pu won't kill you and me." Tian Xiong said, "But if we don't disobey the order, he may send troops to fight, if this is the case, the situation will be worse, Wang Pu is not dead, Zuo Liangyu may not dare to send troops, Zuo Liangyu does not send troops, you and I these 60,000 horses will not be able to fight Wang Pu's 40,000 central army no matter what." ”

"Hmm." Ma Degong bowed his head and said, "It seems that this Mengcheng really has to go." ”

Tian Xiong said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing, just go to Mengcheng to explore the details of Wang Pu." ”

Mengcheng Inn, backyard wing.

Just after lunch, Nenniang was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Pu suddenly beckoned to her: "Nenniang, come here, I have something to ask you." ”

"Master." The young lady glanced back at Wang Pu coquettishly and said, "The little maid will come when she finishes packing." ”

"Don't clean up, I'll let the running hall of the post house clean it up later."

Wang Pu stepped forward to hug the little waist of the young lady, and his right hand honestly and unceremoniously passed through the crook of the young girl's leg and hugged her fragrant and soft delicate body horizontally, the young lady exclaimed in a low voice, instinctively opened her jade arm around Wang Pu's neck, and said timidly: "Master, it's broad daylight now." ”

"What's wrong with broad daylight?" Wang Pu raised his head and deliberately said loudly, "Master Hou, I and Mrs. Ru are making love, who is in the way?" ”

"Master."

The young lady glanced at Wang Pu in disgust, and quickly stretched out her little hand to cover Wang Pu's mouth.

Wang Pu sniffed vigorously, only to feel a faint fragrance into his nose, and looked down to see that the young lady was staring at him with beautiful big eyes, looking at him with affection, that delicate and charming, pretty and sweet demeanor made Wang Pu's heart itch unbearably, and a certain part of the body soon had an instinctive reaction.

Wang Pu carried the young lady into the inner room, and kicked the door with his heel.

"Master." Nen Niang couldn't help but hug Wang Pu's neck tightly, and asked in a nickname, "Do you really want to?" ”

"What do you say?"

Wang Pu pressed the young lady down on the bed, and hugged the young girl's buttocks with both hands, and the young girl opened her legs very tacitly, and the pink Luo skirt fell down, revealing two slender legs, the roots of the beautiful legs were wrapped in black obscene pants, and the profane pants were tied by two ribbons, and a slipknot was tied on the left and right sides of the small waist.

Wang Pu freed his right hand and swam to the slender waist of the young girl, and with a slight pull of the ribbon, the slipknot was loosened, and the black obscene pants fell from the young girl's lower body.

"Young girl."

Wang Pu's strong body fell down under heavy pressure, and entered the delicate body of the young lady with an unstoppable force, first moved violently twice, and when the young lady was so happy that her eyes were about to open, she suddenly hugged the delicate body of the young lady again, and asked with a breath, "Whew, last night, whew, what kind of incense is lit in the room?" ”

"He, acacia."

The young lady was so happy that her heart was about to be crispy, and her delicate body writhed like a snake.

"Acacia?" Wang Pu pouted his ass and chiseled it twice, asking, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

"Sister Yan gave it."

The young lady was so happy that she burst into tears, her moist lips kept kissing Wang Pu's face, and she panted and said, "Sister Yan also said that Hehuan incense will not hurt your body." ”

"Sure enough, it's the witch." Wang Pu gasped, "I knew it must be her, and no one else can have such a thing." ”

"Master, are you angry?"

"Angry? Of course angry! To this day, I still have a residual acacia fragrance in my body. ”

"Huh? Did you smell acacia? Oh my God, how did you get through last night? Sister Yan said that if she smelled the acacia incense, if she didn't get along with a woman, she would be very uncomfortable......"

"Uh, this ......"

Wang Pu couldn't answer, so he could only speed up the frequency of his movements and send the young girl to the peak of happiness.

The young lady was so happy that she was about to suffocate, and she had completely forgotten the [***] Sutra and the Nine Turns Technique that Liu Qingyan had taught her, and only knew that she was passively catering to Wang Pu's violent attack, and the moaning sound was as tight as if she was about to die.

■■■

As Liu expected, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong came to the Mengcheng Post House on the afternoon of the third day, although the two were a little nervous, but they were not very worried about their lives, after all, Wang Pu did not treat the general soldiers of the seven towns of Jiangbei as well, and there was no reason to kill them when they arrived in Maozhou.

But this time, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong thought wrong.

In the front hall of the post house, not long after Ma Degong and Tian Xiong waited, Wang Pu walked in proudly surrounded by Scarface and Li Benshen, Li Chengdong and other soldiers of the Seven Towns, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong quickly stood up, hugged their fists and saluted Wang Pu and said: "The lowly Ma Degong (Tian Xiong) see Hou Ye." ”

Wang Pu glanced at the two of them coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Someone! ”

Four pro-soldiers entered in response and replied sharply: "Here!" ”

Wang Pu stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, and shouted: "Tie up these two traitors!" ”

"Yes."

The four pro-soldiers agreed with a bang, and rushed forward to press Ma Degong and Tian Xiong to the ground, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong were heartbroken, but they didn't dare to struggle, so they had to shout urgently: "Master Hou, you are unjust." ”

Li Benshen and other commanders of the Seven Towns next to him also changed color slightly, and Wang Pu was inevitably suspected of killing chickens and monkeys by doing this.

"Wronged!?" Wang Pu said in a deep voice, "You secretly went to the city of Mizhou to accumulate grain and grass, and transferred the troops of several nearby acropolis into the city of Miaozhou, thinking that Benhou didn't know?" You dug an official road in the North Canyon of Yimen Town, and planted tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder to blow up Ben Hou, thinking that Ben Hou didn't know? You secretly colluded with Zuo Liangyu and instigated Zuo Liangyu to start from the Qingjun side, thinking that Ben Hou didn't know? ”

Li Benshen, Li Chengdong and others changed their faces when they heard this, if what Wang Pu said was true, then Ma Degong and Tian Xiong would really be innocent.

Ma Degong's expression was miserable, and he was already speechless in annoyance.

Tian Xiong refuted loudly: "Master Hou, it is true that there is a matter of accumulating grain and grass and gathering heavy troops in the city of Mizhou, but this is just to prevent Jiannu from going south, what is the crime?" As for the burial of gunpowder in the north canyon of Yimen Town, where did it start? Secretly colluding with Zuo Liangyu is even more of a fictitious thing! ”

"Yes." Ma Degong hurriedly agreed, "This is nothing. ”

Tian Xiong said again: "Master Hou, you are the Marquis of Jingnan and the governor of the five provinces, holding the sword of Shang Fang and having the power to cut first and then play, life and death, you want to kill the lowly and Ma Zongbing, the lowly rank can only lead the neck to kill, but what the lowly position wants to say is that killing people is not too much, you have to let the lowly rank die clearly!" ”

"Hmph." Wang Pu sneered, "What a sharp mouth, Benhou will give an explanation to the court and all the generals in the world who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, as for you, there is no need for this, come here, drag these two traitors out to be flailed to show the public, and then escort them to the vegetable market and cut them!" ”

"Yes."

The four pro-soldiers agreed and escorted Ma Degong and Tian Xiong away.

Ma Degong hung his head and looked frustrated, but Tian Xiong jumped and screamed, shouting loudly: "Wang Pu, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, Wang Pu, you dog thief, Lao Tzu can't spare you even if he is a ghost, Wang Pu, Lao Tzu will go to the underworld to sue you......"

The soldiers dragged Ma Degong and Tian Xiong far away, and the male man's angry scolding gradually became inaudible.

Wang Pu turned to the chief soldier of the Seven Towns standing next to him, and said indifferently: "Do you think that Ben Hou is taking care of people's lives?" Let's take a look on the streets, see how much the people of Mengcheng hate these two traitors, and you will know that Ben Hou did not kill the wrong person! Remember, too, that armies are for the protection of the people, not for the harm! ”

"Yes." Li Chengdong was the first to react, puffed up his chest and shouted, "Privateer Ming people kill, kill!" Annihilate the women of the Silver Dynasty, kill! ”

Wang Pu's intention is already obvious, killing Ma Degong and Tian Xiong in front of the general soldiers of the seven towns of Jiangbei is to use the fact of blood to give them a warning, what they have done before Wang Pu can not blame the past, but if they dare to do something that harms the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future, they will be killed!

The other six commanders also came to their senses and shouted one after another.

"Good." Wang Pu nodded, and then said to Scarface, "Pass the order, and the whole army will be pulled out...... Go to Milli State! ”

"Yes!"

Scarface suddenly agreed and took the order.

After all the generals left, Wang Pu left the post house with Lu Liu and more than a dozen personal soldiers and went straight to the Yuelai Inn.

In the lobby of the Yuelai Inn, Wang Pu saw the dusty Monk Zhang, Monk Zhang came from Luzhou day and night, and the fast horses on the road were killed by two horses, when Wang Pu walked into the inn, this guy was holding a large pot of Shanxi knife noodles and eating fragrantly, and the sound of swallowing made more than a dozen diners nearby look shocking.

Seeing Wang Pu, Monk Zhang hurriedly put down the basin and was about to come forward to salute.

Wang Pu waved his hand and said to Monk Zhang with a smile: "Monk, you eat first, I'll wait for you in the backyard." ”

After that, Wang Pu took Lu Liu straight into the backyard.

Monk Zhang answered, killed the rest of the noodles in three or two clicks, and picked up the basin and dried up most of the basin of noodle soup, then wiped his mouth unsatisfied, turned around and went straight to the backyard.

In the backyard, Wang Pu was already waiting for Monk Zhang in the red lady's wing.

In November of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), Liu Ru offered a plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, Wang Pu successfully booby-trapped Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, and the soldiers disintegrated the soldiers and horses of the two towns of Haozhou without blood, and more than 40,000 old, weak, sick and disabled were sent back to their hometowns, and the remaining more than 10,000 were forcibly sent to the Yanziji camp in Nanjing for training.

After solving the soldiers and horses of the two towns of Haozhou, Wang Pu no longer had any worries and waved his army north.

At the beginning of December, the Central Army successfully passed through Guide Mansion in Henan Province and marched into Caozhou, and the forward battalion led by the fierce general Scarface had approached Puzhou, less than 200 miles away from Liaocheng, the capital of Dongchang.

The Jiannu stationed in Liaocheng only had 500 Han troops with yellow flags and 2,000 surrendered Ming official troops, the main general was named Tong Tulai, the third son of the hardcore Han annihilation Tong Yangzheng, and the nephew of Tong Yangzheng.

At this time, Jiannu's foundation in Shandong was far from stable.

In September of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the thieves entered Beijing, and soon after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, ran away with the army, and the officials of the Shandong provinces at this time still regarded themselves as Ming officials, and only a few days later, these Ming magistrates became magistrates of the Great Shun Dynasty.

Li Zicheng once sent an army of 50,000 men to garrison Shandong, but with the defeat of his 100,000 elite at Yishi, these 50,000 troops were soon transferred back to Yanjing, and Shandong once again became an undefended province.

Shortly thereafter, the Dashun army withdrew from Yanjing, and Jiannu became the new master of Yanjing.

Shortly thereafter, the vast majority of local officials in Shanxi, Beizhi, and Shandong provinces surrendered one after another, and the huge Shandong Province became the territory of the Manchus without a war.

However, at this time, the main force of Jiannu was busy chasing and suppressing the thieves, and Dolgon only sent only 2,000 Jiannu and 5,000 remnants of the Ming army into Shandong, and these two thousand Jiannu and 5,000 remnants of the Ming army were stationed in Liaocheng and Jinan respectively, one choke the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the other choke the capital of Shandong, and the symbolic significance of the garrison was far greater than the practical significance.

■■■

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

After Jiannu occupied Yanjing, the Wenhua Hall became Dolgon's dormitory.

At this time, Dolgon was lying on the dragon chair where Emperor Chongzhen once sat frowning and pondering, a serious problem was bothering him, making him at a loss, two months ago, Li Zicheng, who was the short-term master of the Forbidden City, also encountered the same problem, this problem is the lack of food!

The five northern provinces have been in war for many years, and the economic production of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong has been greatly damaged, only Beizhili is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the situation is relatively better, plus this year's rain is abundant, and the people of Beizhili still have some grain in their hands after the autumn harvest.

Emperor Chongzhen hoped to get these grains to support the army of the Beijing camp to defend the Beijing division, but unfortunately Emperor Chongzhen did not raise enough silver, he could not afford to buy these grains, and he could not be ruthless to rob his own people of the rations, Emperor Chongzhen was very helpless, and could only watch the thieves break Yanjing, and finally hanged himself on the coal mountain.

Li Zicheng also hoped to get these grains, but he also didn't have enough silver, but Li Zicheng was more ruthless than Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't directly rob the people of Beizhili, he robbed the officials and relatives in Yanjing City, and this robbery grabbed tens of millions of taels of silver, but unfortunately before Li Zicheng took the silver to buy food, his army collapsed.

Now, the same problem is the turn of the slave chief Dolgon, although the North Korea under the rule of Hong Chengchou sent a lot of grain to the Jiannu, but this grain is still a drop in the bucket for the huge army of Jiannu, the foundation of the Jiannu is already thin, what they are best at is killing and destroying, farming, producing food is a difficult thing for them, in previous years, when there was a famine outside the Guan, people would often starve to death.

With Jiannu's pitiful level of productivity, it is simply wishful thinking to support an army of more than 100,000 people for many years!
