Chapter 48
According to Yu Xueyong's confession, there is also a Nikan woman who serves Wulindai to serve tea and pour water, but because of alcoholism, the Nikan woman has been sold, for the sake of insurance, John's head is still divided into two team members to touch the situation.
Johnsday crouched at the door of the main room, snoring like thunder, Johnsday took out a knife and gently reached into the latch, and stepped back the latch between a little gap, after a while, the two team members touched it and shook their heads to signal that there was no one in the room, and retreated to the window and the door to guard.
Johnsday patiently fiddled with the latch of the door, about half a pillar of incense, the door finally opened with a snap, the team members waited quietly for a moment, the sound of the door stall alarmed the people in the room, the man cursed a few words in a daze, followed by the sound of the bed board, seemed to turn over, and soon there was a low snoring sound.
Johnsday breathed a sigh of relief, and gently pushed with both hands against the door panel, and one of the team members with a strong crossbow flashed in, and several people covered each other, watching Johnsday and them enter.
After a while, there was a dull sound in the room, and the sound of a controlled struggle, but the screaming of being choked by the neck soon fell silent, and then suddenly a fire lit up inside the door, and in a flash, Johnsdie's voice followed: "That's right, it's him." ”
There was another terrifying chopping sound in the room, and after a while Johnsday came out with a black object, and one of the team members had already prepared a sackcloth and wrapped the head of Ullindai in his backpack, but he didn't expect Johnsday to come out with two more things. The team member didn't hold it steady, and the thing fell to the ground with a snap.
"Boss, what is this?" The team member asked in a low voice. While searching for the soft piece of meat on the ground.
"One piece is the heart, one piece is the liver, don't talk nonsense, hurry up," Johnsday said impatiently.
When everything was cleaned up, the team members took cover alternately and withdrew from Huangjiabao along the original road, and the entire Huangjiabao was still immersed in sleep......
The team members who completed the task galloped for half the night. At dawn, they rushed to the contact point in Shimiao Village, where they rested for a while, and then went south to avoid the Tarnu sentry and go straight back to Jinzhou. The other members of the team followed Tang Baocheng back to Phi Island.
"You're really not going with us?" Tang Baocheng asked Yu Xueyong
Yu Xueyong and his mother-in-law saw that several sturdy people around Tang Baocheng were staring at him with ill-intentioned eyes, he had already felt a little hairy in his heart, and when he heard Tang Baocheng's words, he forced a smile and said: "As long as my brother arrives safely, I really can't go." My mother-in-law, she ......"
Tang Baocheng stared at Yu Xueyong's mother-in-law's bulging lower abdomen. It seemed to be a little regretful and nodded: "I'm not strong, your ox cart is here, you can go back to Huangjiabao, we will ...... later."
Yu Xueyong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, young owner, we will have a meeting later."
Seeing Yu Xueyong and his family slowly leaving in an ox cart, Tang Baocheng slowly raised his hand: "Let's." There will be no time in the future! ”
Qiu Yong leaned over and asked, "Why didn't you tell him directly, his master was slaughtered by us." Isn't it a dead end for him to go back? ”
Tang Baocheng's posture of waving his hand did not change, and he said coldly: "I originally arranged for him to die, I want to let all the people who are willing to be slaves see that he is the fate of Yu Xueyong's family under the Blue Banner Han Banner." ”
When several people around heard this, they all felt a chill in their hearts, and Qiu Yong couldn't bear to say: "My lord, his mother-in-law is still pregnant with a six-month-old baby, ...... you?"
Tang Baocheng snorted and said, "This is war!" ”
"There are some things that can't be done, even if it's a war!" A voice came from behind him coldly, and everyone turned around, but it was the old cannon with Zhuang Shidi and Li Zhong coming over.
"You have crossed the line" The old cannon looked at Tang Baocheng-for-tat and said: "I will truthfully report everything I saw today to the adults"
Tang Baocheng shook his head and didn't look back, but said in an accentuated tone: "Master Ma, you don't understand, no matter what you say, this is war!" ”
The old cannon sneered: "War? Even in war, women and children should not be killed, otherwise what is the difference between us and the Tarslaves? What's the difference between us and the rogues? ”
Everyone around them didn't dare to take a breath, the two of them were the biggest officials present, but they didn't know why they were on the bar, which made them very embarrassed, and they didn't persuade them, and they didn't know how the situation would develop if they didn't persuade them......
Tang Baocheng laughed loudly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world: "Master Ma, haven't you figured out the difference between the two of us?" The sin camp does not kill women and children, and the Thunder Division does not kill women and children, but our foreign intelligence department will! If necessary. ”
Tang Baocheng turned around and smiled at Lao Pao, and said, "Master Ma, I hope you don't forget to add a sentence when you report to adults, I have already given them a chance." ”
"Actually, you don't have ......"
The old cannon saluted Tang Baocheng and said, "Let's go back in a hurry, don't leave it here, Lord Tang will do it himself."
After speaking, the angry old cannon signaled to Zhuang Shidi and Li Zhong who were waiting on the side, the latter took the head and heart of Ulindai from behind the action team members and carried it on his back, and led three horses, several team members escorted the blindfolded Yu Xuezhong out, and just took off the hemp core in his mouth, Yu Xuezhong's panicked cry of mercy rang out.
"Master, masters, misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding of the minion, the slave has always been duty, and he has never ......"
Hearing that Yu Xuezhong was full of slave masters, everyone was a little disgusted, and Zhuang Shidi got him on the horse like a chicken, then ripped off his blindfold and warned him in a low voice: "Just ride a horse and follow us, dare to say a word of nonsense, we will stab him in like this!" ”
Yu Xuezhong saw a bright dagger against his stomach, he was so frightened that his soul was frightened, snot and tears rolled down together, and he told again and again: "The slave doesn't dare, don't dare, misunderstanding, it must be that my brother didn't make it clear, my brother asked me to follow the masters to do the work, where is my brother, I understand when I see my brother......"
Johnsday was furious and shouted, "Shut up! ”
Yu Xuezhong immediately gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say another word, but his teeth kept hitting each other. Make a gurgling sound.
Tang Baocheng looked at the old cannon and turned over on the horse, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Master Ma, are you really an adult and a Buddha of ten thousand families?" ”
The old cannon was stunned. Rushing away with a sharp clip of his feet, Johnsday turned his head and glanced at Tang Baocheng coldly before leaving, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his mind, Tang Baocheng and the others also looked around after disappearing from sight and said: "Let's go, we should also withdraw." ”
The members of the action team whistled and got on their horses and ran towards the direction of Iron Mountain......
The old cannon took the two of them to run for a long time, watching the sun in the sky. It has already run to the vicinity of the Dayang River in Xiuyan, as long as it crosses the river, it is the boundary of Jinzhou, since Yue Tuo's army withdrew from Xiuyan. Zhao Long and their dragoon battalion often forcibly crossed the Dayang River to harass Xiuyan, and Xiuyan's Tarnon sentry cavalry was even oppressed to the point that they cowered in the city and did not dare to come out, but during this time, the Ming army did not move much, and the Xiuyan defenders were much bolder. Many sentry horses were also sent to patrol the area of the Dayang River.
The old cannon took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the three or four Tarnon sentinels under the mountain. With their backs to the hill, Zhuang Shidi and Li Zhong were carelessly sorting out the strong crossbow in their hands, which was extremely difficult to defend within twenty or thirty paces, and its accuracy and lethality were much stronger than those of the short gun, and it was also the favorite weapon of the special service team.
Li Zhong slowly aimed his bow and crossbow at Yu Xuezhong, but Yu Xuezhong did not react, still looking at the sky blankly.
"What for?"
Zhuang Shidi immediately noticed Li Zhong's movements and scolded him. Li Zhong smiled and said in a low voice, "Boss." It's not pleasing to the eye when we see this guy, or don't we just do it? ”
Li Zhong freed his right hand and slashed down.
Zhuang Shidi snorted and said: "His life was exchanged for his brother's family of three, kill him, aren't you afraid that the ghosts of his brother's family will come to haunt you?" Also, is Master Ma still on the side? ”
Li Zhong's character is fierce and resolute, so naturally he will not be frightened by words such as asking for his life, but he didn't dare to assert himself with the old cannon by his side, so he dismissed the plan to make this oil bottle in this barren mountain and wild territory, Li Zhong said to Yu Xuezhong: "Hey, you come here." ”
Yu Xuezhong returned to the world from the sleepwalking state, nodded and crawled over and said, "Old, master, do you have any orders for your name to be small?" ”
Li Zhong untied the head behind his back and threw it over and said, "Put this on your back, don't ask much"
Yu Xuezhong shook his hand to take the package that exuded a strong smell of blood, he gently pinched it with his hand, and his face suddenly turned pale......
"Silence!"
The old cannon who was observing suddenly waved his hand back, Zhuang Shidi and Li Zhong's faces changed, and they tiptoed towards the old cannon, and the three of them looked down under the cover of the branches above their heads, and the three Tarslave sentry horses stopped at the edge of the mound, one of them hurriedly twitched his trouser belt while running towards the hill where they were hiding, and the other two turned over and fell off their horses, one was lying lazily, and the other was caressing the mount with his hand, still cursing and swearing in his mouth.
Zhuang Shidi gently wound the crossbow, nodded to Li Zhong and slowly walked towards the Tartar who ran over, the old cannon knew that Zhuang Shidi's move was just a precautionary measure, not intended to kill the Tartar, the old cannon did not make a sound, just carefully held the clairvoyant mirror, staring at the movement of the other two Tartars, he planned to wait for these Tartars to pass through and then force the ocean river, as long as the river was crossed, it would be to Jinzhou, Jinzhou would be able to return to Lushun in two days, thinking of the various benefits of Lushun, the old cannon couldn't help but smile slightly......
However, at this moment, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the hill: "Master?? Master!! Ahh ”
This unexpected change made the faces of everyone present suddenly change greatly!
Silk!
The crouched Tartar suddenly went black in front of him, and he fell to the ground, and a large puddle of shit poured out of his loose asshole, and the two Tartars immediately noticed that something was wrong, one rushed to get the blade hanging from the saddle, and the other had already turned over and mounted his horse.
Li Zhong rushed down from the old cannon at the first moment, and while he changed his pace, he broke left and right, and the strong crossbow in his hand was already aimed at one of the panicked Tartar sentry riders. Two against two, he instantly had the intention of killing people, and as for the Tartar of Great Liberation, he already regarded him as a dead man!
"Don't run!"
The old cannon ran towards Yu Xuezhong fiercely, and after Yu Xuezhong held the head of Ullindai and cried, he suddenly fled in the other direction like a frightened rabbit, although the old cannon reacted quickly, but there was a lot of distance between the two.
The tartar who turned over on the horse grabbed his mount, pulled the reins and circled around and came up to Li Zhong's side. He brushed his hand at the saddle on the bumpy horse, and his bow was drawn in his hand, followed with two fingers. Trickily mounted an arrow, and just as he closed one eye and aimed at Li Zhong's ghostly figure, John's burly figure suddenly appeared from the grass!
Collapse~
Collapse~
Li Zhong screamed, and a forward charge rolled straight down the hill, while the tartar threw away his bow, clutching his neck in disbelief, and spitting blood in his mouth. With a lotus sound, a small crossbow arrow pierced through his neck and burst out from the back of his neck!
Johnsday didn't care about Li Zhong's life or death. He ran wildly towards the last tartar, and as he wound the crossbow again and again, he ran a few paces before a grunt sounded behind him. The tartar who had been hit by the arrow flipped off his horse. Died of exhaustion.
The last sentry saw this momentary encounter, and was left alone for a short time, and he was horrified, and threw away his bow and crossbow in his hand, and turned and fled, and as he ran, he put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and his mount, hearing the command, spread his hooves and ran towards his master.
Collapse!
Johnsdie's figure paused suddenly. Look up, aim. Shot out the crossbow arrow in his hand in one go, but as soon as he shot his hand, he had a bad premonition, sure enough, the crossbow arrow flew through the scalp of the tartar, the tartar stretched out his hand to borrow the horse's stock while running, the person was already sitting firmly on the horse's back, he lay on the horse's back and shook the reins violently, the arrow rushed out, and John's Di, who was still chasing, ran a few steps, and finally stopped unwillingly, and saw the tartar leave safely......
"You, don't come here, don't come over" Yu Xuezhong held the head of Ulindai and moved back step by step, a vertical cliff behind him, and below it was the rushing Ocean River.
The old cannon raised his hand to show that he was not hostile, and carefully persuaded: "Brother, don't be nervous, be careful of your step, you come over and talk."
Yu Xuezhong cried: "You, you killed my master, killed my master......"
The old cannon said: "Your brother asked us to send you to Lushun to live a good life, you must not live up to your brother's hard work, when you arrive in Lushun, you will be divided into 100 acres of land, you will not worry about eating and drinking, and no one will oppress you, and you will have no master when you arrive in Lushun, and you will no longer be a slave......
However, what the old cannon never expected was that Yu Xuezhong's originally hesitant expression suddenly became tragic after hearing this, he hugged the head of Ullindai tightly, and finally glanced at the anxious old cannon, suddenly jumped and jumped into the turbulent ocean river!
Oops~~
Li Zhong's screams rang out, Zhuang Shidi scolded fiercely, stretched out his hand to twist the arrow, and signaled to Li Zhong, Li Zhong scolded a few words, gritted his teeth and nodded, Zhuang Shidi pulled violently, the arrow shaft was pulled out with blood clots, and a stream of blood spurted out, Zhuang Shidi kept his hands and feet, opened the wine jug and poured half of the wound, stuffed it to Li Zhong, and took out a roll of boiled and sterilized cotton cloth, carefully bandaged Li Zhong, the latter was scolded, and poured a sip of wine.
When Zhuang Shidi helped Li Zhong to find the old cannon, the old cannon looked at the rushing ocean river with a solemn face and was silent.
"Where's the head?" Johnsday didn't care about Xuezhong's life or death.
The old cannon was silent, and he snorted towards the ocean river.
"I'll look for it!" Johnsdie has a resolute personality and insists on completing the task before leaving.
The old cannon shook his head and said, "Where else can I find this?" Besides, if you miss a Tartar, there will be a large group of sentry cavalry chasing you soon, so let's go immediately! ”
"How do you explain it?"
Zhuang Shidi shook his head and refused: "Besides, our special service team messed up the first mission, so go back with no shame, it's better for you to go first, I'll stay and investigate, I'm easier to lurk alone, and I must get the head of Ullindai to go back." ”
Li Zhong hated and said: "It's all my fault, I will stay too, damn, this damn Tartar coat, it's really a good slave of the Tartar!" ”
The old cannon shook his head: "I still have the final say here, your task has been completed, and I will bear all the responsibilities, go back!" ”
John's squint at the old cannon, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, go back!" ”
…………
At the beginning of June, Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the imperial court, once again rewarded a group of eunuchs after the hereditary Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Zong Yuanfang because of the merit of pacifying Phi Dao, also Yin hereditary Jinyi Wei Qianhu, as well as Yuan Li, Yang Chaojin, Lu Zhide and other people each 100 households, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military sparse opposition, Emperor Chongzhen did not listen.
Under the urging of these supervising troops, the Ming army from all walks of life rose up and tried their best to compress the Liukou in a small space, and the situation in the north gradually became clear, especially the governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu, under the encouragement of Emperor Chongzhen's repeated edicts, as if he had eaten stimulants, and worked extra hard, Chen Qiyu was a native of Baode, Shanxi, a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and served as the county governor of Luoyang, Like to the matter, and the deputy envoy of Shaanxi, Chongzhen for five years, and the subordinates of Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Yansui, mutinied, and was dismissed by Chongzhen, At that time, Chen Qiyu, who was the political envoy of Shaanxi Youbu, succeeded Zhang Fuzhen as the governor of Yansui. When Chen Qiyu took office, he was catching up with Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi to kill the Liukou, Chen Qiyu rode the wind and waves, and commanded his subordinates to kill the mountain tiger, a dragon, a mountain harrier, a horse red wolf, a ditch fly, a piece of iron, etc., with good results, so that the Yansui area "all the ditches are exhausted".
After Chen Qiyu took office as the governor of the five provinces, he drilled the sky sentry, opened the mountain axe, the golden winged peng, and a city, and one after another the leaders of the rogue were killed under his iron hooves.
With Chen Qiyu's rising star, there is another person, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang......
Yunyang is located in Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang four provinces junction, belongs to the four regardless of the region, the jurisdiction of the mountains and mountains, is a good place to fall grass for the Kou, since ancient times it is easy to produce bandits, known as the "thief Xue Yuan", when the Liukou in the transfer to the mountainous area, Yunyang is the place that must pass, the battalions of the Liukou came and went, went and came, and the Yunyang Governor Jiang Yunyi was miserable.
In fact, the former governor of Yunyang, Jiang Yunyi, is not a person who does nothing, this person is deeply popular with the people, building a city in Yunyang, accumulating rice, building bridges and paving roads, appeasing the people, but also governing Yunyang in an orderly manner, seeing the spread of the Liukou, Jiang Yunyi was anxious, and immediately went to the court, saying that Yunyang City had few soldiers and was powerless to prevent the Liukou from entering the country in a big way, praying for the court to send soldiers and horses to rescue, Jiang Yunyi was worried about state affairs on the one hand, and on the other hand, there was also a sense of exculpation for himself, although Jiang Yunyi said that "the minister is worthy of death, and should also die of anger", " It is a pity that the emperor seals the ears of the territory", but judging from the meaning of what he said, the intention of untying himself and taking preventive vaccinations is about to come out under the noble coat of worrying about the country and the monarch.
It's a pity that he met Emperor Chongzhen, this only looks at the result, regardless of the process, Emperor Chongzhen does not consider whether Yunyang can stop the locust-like rogues, and resolutely treats Jiang Yunyi, Emperor Chongzhen is best at holding accountable, Shaanxi has a problem, Hu Ting's banquet, the main Fu has a problem, Yang He, Shanxi has a problem, Song Tongyin, Henan has a problem, Fan Shangxiao. The rogue wandered all the way, and the governor and governor of the Ming Dynasty followed him and fell to the ground. Emperor Chongzhen didn't talk about procedural justice. What he is good at is killing chickens and monkeys, killing one and setting an example, until the end of Chongzhen, when he really became a loner.
When Jiang Yunyi was taken into Beijing by the Jinyi Guard, the local people cried, but the local people didn't know that Jiang Yunyi was replaced by another Ming cowman, and the famous soldier Lu Xiang was promoted to the right of the imperial history and Yunyang Fuzhi...... (To be continued......)
