On October 12th, Chongzhen looked at the unveiling post in his hand with a gloomy face, originally this year was a very good year, the reverse case was decided, the Jiannu in Liaodong did not make any big moves, the rebellion in the southwest was basically calmed, Zheng Zhilong and his old subordinates in the southeast were fighting around, and generally speaking, it was more stable than last year. There was a little civil unrest in Shaanxi, but it was also a small fight, and it seemed that it could have a good year, but Jiannu came directly to knock on the gate.

On the fifth day of Zunhua fell, Wang Yuanya committed suicide, and then the guards of the Santun camp collapsed, the general soldier Zhu Guoyan, who was not allowed to enter the city by Zhao Shujiao, finally had a little backbone, and wrote the name of the escaped official into a big-character poster, posted it on the street, and hanged himself, he had a backbone, but it was useless to Chongzhen, and in Chongzhen's eyes, he was a sinner, if he let Zhao Shujiao enter the city, there were thousands of mobile troops, plus Zhao Shujiao, a professional household guarding the city, would definitely become a firm nail household, and Jiannu would only temporarily stop at Zunhua, Chongzhen will have more time to gather King Qin's soldiers and horses. Now that the Santun camp is lost, Jiannu will no longer be contained, and they are only one step away from the Gyeonggi Plain.

The good news is that the Qinwang soldiers of Xuanfu and Datong have arrived, and the general army of Datong, Mangui, led 5,000 elite soldiers of Datong Town to Shunyi, and Hou Shilu of Xuanfu was stationed in Sanhe, and Changping and Miyun soldiers also rushed to Jizhou and Sanhe successively. After the news came out, the hearts of Jingshi people were a little calmer.

He looked at Yuan Chonghuan's unveiling post in his hand, "...... At this time, only the Beijing division was the most important, and the elite cavalry first took the road from the south to advance, and the infantry successively attached to the prefectures and counties to connect the bloodlines, and the Beijing division of the Jizhou Domain, the Beijing division was consolidated and then eastward, which was a foolproof ...... Five hundred miles and six days gallop to the city, enter the city of Jicheng to rest the horses, carefully detect the shape shì, strictly prepare the whistle, and strive to intercept, will not let Yue Jixi take a step ......"

Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, led the cavalry of the Guanning Army to Jizhou on the 10th day of the first month, and a large number of infantry of the Guanning Army were successively deployed to Qian'an, Yongping, Fengrun, Yutian and other prefectures and counties.

After reading it, Chongzhen looked up at Sun Chengzong on the opposite side and said respectfully: "Master Sun, why do you have to keep Sanhe Shunyi." ”

Sun Chengzong, who is already sixty-six years old, has white hair, a calm look on his wise face, and has been up and down in officialdom for many years, coupled with his military career in Liaodong, so that he has long been unfazed. This time the border was in an emergency, Chongzhen remembered this old minister of Liao affairs, and asked him to come to Beijing to help, and take charge of the affairs of the palace inside and outside the capital. Sun Chengzong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, guarding the three rivers can frustrate the west and curb the south." The armies of Changping, Miyun, Guanning, and Xuanda gathered around Jizhou, Tongzhou, and now came to the rescue. Jiliao Governor guards Jimen, Mangui is stationed in Shunyi, Hou Shilu is stationed in Sanhe, Guanning and Xuanda army are the elite of the nine sides, especially Mangui dares to fight, Jimen City has thick walls, with the ability of the superintendent, it is safe to guard, Shunyi Sanhe is each other's horns, with Xuanda elite, both war and defense. Jiannu came from afar, the momentum could not be long, if they did not attack the city, these places will be watched by each other, chasing back and forth, fighting on all sides, Jiannu is tired of coping, the military heart will be shaken, and the slave chieftain will not dare to go straight to Beijing. ”

"What if Jiannu goes south?"

"Your Majesty, Jiannu has broken the border wall, moved to Yongping in the east, Yutian in the south, and Jizhou in the west, you can go everywhere, but the fortification force everywhere has not been caught, and it is the best strategy now." Sun Chengzong was a little perfunctory, he had another opinion on such a deployment in his heart, anyway, Jiannu had already broken through such an important town as Zunhua, even if Jiannu broke through Xianghe and Yongping, it would be just another Zunhua. However, if Jiannu went straight to Beijing, the meaning of the government was completely different, so the deployment of defense was to block the west. But such an idea can't be declared, in case Jiannu really goes south to kill people and set fires, it will be easy to be used as a handle to attack him in the future, he believes that Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan actually understand.

Sure enough, Chongzhen didn't ask about it anymore, he instead asked how Jiannu would enter from Jizhen.

Sun Chengzong said calmly: "The emperor Mingjian, Jizhen guards the wings of Shenjing, is to know that those who know the soldiers know that Liao must guard thistle, Jizhen was originally protected by Lai Duoyan Mongolia, Chahar has fled west, and the Karaqin departments are attached to Jiannu, so they should be repaired as soon as possible, but they didn't think that it was still dilapidated. ”

Chongzhen flipped out a letter from September, looked at it for a while, and muttered: "There are 153,000 soldiers in the four towns, 81,000 horses, and 4.8 million in a year. How many people are there in Jiannu, and they still have the strength to knock on the level. Chongzhen's voice was a little quieter, Sun Chengzong lowered his eyebrows, and as if he didn't hear it, Chongzhen had to say to Sun Chengzong: "Now the Jiliao Governor is stationed in Jizhou, the Governor is Qinwang and the soldiers and horses, Master Sun is old in Liao, what else do you have to say, I will let the military department send it to the Inspector to know." ”

"In this way, I asked the emperor to bring two sentences to the Jiliao Governor, the first sentence is 'you can defend only if you can fight', and the second sentence is 'Expedition reconnaissance, pre-preparation for friendship'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch sent in a book, Chongzhen hurriedly opened it, his face changed, and he hurriedly handed it to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong looked at it, and looked up with a look of surprise: "The Jiannu soldiers are in sight, why send the soldiers of Miyun Changping, what is the reason." ”

On October 13, in a small village at the foot of Jiulong Mountain in Jixian County, the villagers packed up their belongings, brought everything they could, and helped each other climb up the mountain.

After the news of Jiannu knocking came, they were all very panicked, but there was Zunhua in front of them, the villagers were all local natives, and the geographical location was still known, and some villagers who had been to Zunhua also told others, saying that Zunhua City was high and thick, and Jiannu would definitely not be able to beat it.

As a result, the people who went out yesterday came back and said that Zunhua had been beaten down for many days, and even Shimenyi had surrendered.

Led by a few hunters and herb farmers, they chose a mountain peak and went up to a flat place on the mountainside, where there was only one road to go up, and some of the young people in the village could be guarded, surrounded by lush trees and a cave with spring water to drink, making it an ideal refuge.

The children didn't know what their worries were, but they had a lot of fun camping in the mountains, chasing them back and forth, and the adults were all worried, cutting down trees to build shacks, and worrying about their belongings under the mountains.

The medicine farmer settled his luggage, climbed to the top of the mountain, and halfway to the road, he met a young man from the village, who shouted: "Uncle, go to the top to see the official road, the Tartar is coming!" Here it comes! ”

The medicine farmer's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace to the top of the mountain, where some villagers had already gathered, and they hid behind a large rock with a wide view, and poked their heads out to point to the official road below the mountain. The medicine farmer came closer to take a look, some small black dots on the official road were moving slowly, and some of them had small triangular flags on their backs, they were riding alone or in groups of three or five, walking near the official road, and some black dots had passed along the field road in the direction of the Lihe River.

"Eight hundred." The medicine farmer said softly, his daughter-in-law is from the 800 villages over there, and he hopes that his in-laws have gone up the mountain in advance. The Jiulong Mountain, where he is located, is in the north of the Lihe River Valley, and there are many mountain passes in the mountains south of the river valley that can reach the plain area in the south. At the foot of the mountain to the south are many villages, with names ranging from 100 to 1000, and 100 households are not far from Jizhou.

"Uncle, there are so many tartars!" The young man next to him exclaimed.

The medicine farmer looked in the direction of Mashen Bridge, and a group of dense black dots came along the official road, and they formed a strict formation, and went to Jizhou after crossing the mountain.

The young man rolled his gaze with those cavalrymen, inhaled a cool breath and said, "Mother, at least a few hundred people." ”

The medicine farmer's heart was beating wildly, rubbing his hands and saying, "I heard that Inspector Yuan arrived in Jizhou on the ninth day, and hundreds of people are not afraid of him." As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed, his eyes stared straight at the direction of Mashen Bridge, and the marching columns on the official road could not be seen at a glance, like a slender black river gushing in, flowing past the foot of the mountain and flowing to Jizhou.

In the black river below the mountain, Taktan and Zhang Zhongqi walked back and forth, and the Jizhou city wall in the distance was already in sight. Tak Tan led the horse by himself, Zhang Zhongqi pushed a snatched cart, which was full of cloth, clothes and food, and wore a brand new cotton coat, which was robbed by Tak Tan in Zunhua City, this master was good to Zhang Zhongqi, and gave him a piece, under the warmth of the two cotton clothes, Zhang Zhongqi's snot finally stopped flowing, he followed Tak Tan all the way, through the cold Karaqin grassland, showing Xiaoqiang's tenacious vitality, and actually arrived at the side wall safely, and then followed his master to grab things.

Although Huang Taiji issued a soft will, asking everyone not to burn, kill and loot, and hand over the seizures to the public for unified distribution, but all the flags ignored him, handed over a small amount of things perfunctory, and kept the others.

Zhang Zhongqi smiled as he walked and said to Taktan: "Young master, our Great Khan is really wise, if he hadn't advocated it, we would have gone back in Karaqin." ”

With a confident expression on his face, Taktan nodded: "I heard that the second and third beylers were worried about entering the Great Wall and being surrounded at that time, who knew that they were weaker than Liaoxi." It also makes me worry about it in vain. Taktan remembered the twists and turns in Karaqin, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai suddenly felt that it was unreliable to enter the border, and went to Huang Taiji to ask for the retreat, at that time there were rumors in the camp, and he was glad that the Great Khan persevered, otherwise he didn't dare to imagine how he would spend this winter when he returned home. Later in the process, the Han was proved to be right, and Taktan saw the surrender of the cities one by one, and the surrendering officials and Han people shaved their heads and lay on the side of the road to meet the army. He was now dismissive of Mingguo.

After all, Taktan is a small soldier, and he can't understand the thoughts of the two major Baylors, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai have been in power for many years, and they still have experience in struggle, if they really oppose it, they will not go to Karaqin to oppose it again, it is obvious that it is impossible to go back empty-handed here, they just have to prepare for the defeat and put all the responsibility on the head of Huang Taiji, including the heads of several small Baylors who stood on Huang Taiji's side this time.

Zhang Zhongqi looked yearning, "Master, I heard that we are going to Jingshi, if there are too many things to rob, the villain will not be able to move alone, if there are still good things, these cloths will not be needed." ”

Taktan looked at the pocket on the horse's back, which had been filled with hundreds of taels of silver, all of which he robbed in Zunhua, they were divided into the south and east of the city wall when they were attacking the city with the blue flag, this strong city was drummed down, the white flag was the first to enter the city, Taktan followed by Ilantai was one of the first people to enter the city with the blue flag, they entered the city early, and chose a good house to loot, and Taktan got hundreds of taels.

Taktan said: "Don't be busy throwing it, Lord Niu Lu said that I am good this time, and I will be promoted to a soldier, if I plunder the population, I will also divide some of them, and then let them push it, and you will take care of the new coat in the future." ”

"Thank you, master!" If Zhang Zhongqi wasn't pushing the cart, he would have kowtowed to thank him.

The householders who build slaves are slightly better than the kind of complete slaves, and the masters are better, and the householders can have a small amount of assets and can also get married, but their children also belong to the masters, and the masters have the final say in buying and selling marriages. There are also levels among the people under the household, Zhang Zhongqi has always envied those Zhuang heads, at least he can peel off other coatings, and there are new coatings waiting for him on weekdays.

If he becomes the head of the village, his life will be much better, Zhang Zhongqi has more hope for the future, and he still has a silver ingot in his arms, which he picked up by a mansion when he followed into Zunhua. There may be more than ten taels, the young master is easy to speak, and when he returns to Liaodong, he will give the silver to the young master, and maybe he can buy the dumb man back.

They walked another way, and the Niulu banner in front turned to the left and went down the official road, entered a small road, and walked towards the mountain pass of ten hundred households to the south.

Zhang Zhongqi glanced at Jizhou before turning the corner, and at the end of the official road, more than 200 Houjin cavalry stood majestically under the city of Jizhou, confronting tens of thousands of Guanning troops.

After Weihaiwei entered the Sanjin compound facing the sea, Mrs. Zhao was torturing Zhao Xiang, "Xiang'er, is there any movement in your stomach?" ”

Zhao Xiang shook her head helplessly, and Mrs. Zhao said with a little sorrow: "It's also strange that this uncle has come back too little, you have all been married for more than a year, and there are no heirs, if you have a little one to come in, you will get the eldest son first, and this day will be enough for you to fight in the future." ”

Zhao Xiang is only nineteen this year, but she can't be considered a girl in this era, she listened to Bianbian's mouth and said: "Then what method do I have, a few days ago, he asked him to take in the earlier Ju Xiang, and he also agreed, but then he went to fight the smelling incense sect, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

Mrs. Zhao sighed and said: "Ju Xiang is a last resort, or it is more reliable to have an eldest son, it really can't work, you can live in Wendeng Camp, and don't accompany your mother in this place, anyway, there are many mothers-in-law and maids in the family now, you don't need to worry." ”

Zhao Xiang had no other way but to nod, and at this time, the door of Sanjin was knocked open, and Ju Xiang stumbled in, so tired that she couldn't speak.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her and reprimanded her dissatisfiedly: "You are going to marry someone who is going to be a concubine of an official family, and you are still running so crazy." ”

Ju Xiang's face turned red, and she gasped: "No, it's not good, it's ...... Master...... Go, go"

Mrs. Zhao stood up in surprise, grabbed Ju Xiang's hand and looked anxious: "Uncle secretly went to sea to go to the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Ju Xiang's other hand shook vigorously, denying it.

Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and scolded: "The dead girl wants to scare people to death, as long as she doesn't go to sea, what else can she be in a hurry like this." ”

Ju Xiang finally relieved her breath and shouted: "The master went to Jingshi to kill Jiannu." ”

Mrs. Zhao asked suspiciously, "Jiannu?" Didn't my uncle say that he would come back after beating the demons, who are you listening to nonsense? ”

Zhao Xiang also said: "Don't listen to people's nonsense, that Jiannu is far away from Jingshi, and when the master leaves, he clearly said that he is talking about the Xiangjiao, what are those demon people afraid of." ”

Ju Xiang explained anxiously: "The Tang Ma who reported the news just came back and said that Jiannu entered the Koujing Division, and the lord was ordered to go to King Qin, and I heard that there were more than 100,000 Tartar soldiers, and the lord only brought two ...... Come on, Madame has fainted! ”
