Shanxi is in chaos.

The chaos spread like a plague and was out of control.

It was a sudden tsunami, and it was also magma that was suppressed underground.

The county towns, like oil lamps lit in the dark night, illuminate the dark northern land.

Jiang Jian did not have soldiers in Shanxi, he did not have this strength.

Datong directly threatened the western side of the city and cut off the most direct road between Beijing and Shaanxi. With such an important position, he knew that Dorgon would not let him go. The Ming army collected grain and grass everywhere, the granaries of the four counties were emptied, and Datong was preparing for defense with all its might.

There is Shanhaiguan in the east, Datong City in the west, and both arches defend the Beijing Division. Ten years ago, Dolgon looked at the city of Datong and sighed, but today he must attack it.

Three days later, Jin Xiaoding's health was slightly better, and he was able to walk up to the city to watch Siye's movements.

Spring in the north comes late, and in another month it will be the season of spring ploughing. Conquest has replaced ploughing the fields, and I don't know how many people will die this year. The troubled times that began in the second year of Chongzhen finally reached their peak seventeen years later.

The army of the Qing court was gathering in Beijing, and within two or three days it should be under the city of Datong. Jiang Pai gave up the outer county town and went all out to defend Datong, his biggest capital was Datong's strong city defense,......, as well as Jiangnan's Pingyu general.

Jin Xiaoding's body is very weak, he can walk on flat ground, and it is still a little difficult to climb the stairs.

Standing at the head of the city and looking out for a moment, he returned to the Xuanda Governor's Mansion with the support of his own soldiers, and now the person in charge here is Jiang Ping.

Jiang Jian and Lei Yanqian were both there, and he also saw a lot of familiar faces, which were the rebels from Youyu County. Jiang Jian was very busy, occasionally giving orders, and sometimes reading the new urgent news from the periphery.

"General!" Jin Xiaoding shouted vigorously. It's very noisy here, he doesn't use force, and Jiang Yan may not be able to hear it.

Jiang Yan turned his head, and Lei Yanqian, who was standing on the right side, also turned his head.

Jin Xiaoding moved his steps and walked closer, and arched his hand: "General Jiang, please send someone to send me to Jiexiu, I want to see Fan Yongdou." ”

"What are you going to see that traitor for?" Lei Yanqian said angrily, "He has long recognized the captive as his father!" ”

Jin Xiaoding was a little unhappy, as Zhai Zhe's personal guard, they looked down on the person who betrayed Zhai Zhe the most, and Lei Yanqian had just done such a thing. After Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, Lei Yanqian pulled people to leave in Julu County, but was rejected by Xiao Zhiyan and Zuo Ruo, and was despised by his own soldiers.

However, he didn't come out, but said with a smile: "That's the general's uncle!" ”

General! Lei Yanqian didn't like to hear this title, it was like a slap in the face. It turned out that he had made the wrong choice, but he was never willing to bow his head in front of that person. He was prickly in his words and said, "The emperor's uncle is also enslaved by the Jurchens." ”

This rebuttal is too obvious.

Jiang Yan was surprised, he didn't know why the relationship between Zhai Zhe and Lei Yanqian had become unharmonious.

Jin Xiaoding held back the anger in his heart and said lightly: "When the general was gathering with General Xiao and General Zuo in Jiangnan, he once mentioned Lord Lei's name. ”

Lei Yanqian was silent and stopped talking. He thought of those two brothers, who are now thriving in Jiangnan, and the crown on their heads must still be intact.

Jin Xiaoding didn't press him anymore, and continued to say to Jiang Ping: "Please send me to see Fan Dong's house!" ”

"Your Body ......"

Jin Xiaoding waved his hand and said, "I can still hold on to this little injury." The matter is urgent, and there is no delay. ”

Jiang Jian pondered for a moment and said: "If you go to Shanxi, it is very likely that you will not be able to return to Datong City, if the road is smooth, please tell General Zhai that the Ming army of Datong is looking forward to reinforcements from Jiangnan day and night." ”

Jin Xiaoding clenched his fists and replied, "Obey!" ”

Half an hour later, a carriage departed from the south gate of Datong. Jin Xiaoding selected ten people from the Youyu County Righteous Army, and Jiang Jian sent ten more soldiers to escort them, and a total of 21 people rushed to Jiexiu through Shuozhou.

Shanxi's official roads rose and fell in the mountains, and Jin Xiaoding leaned against the soft carriage, his head bobbing up and down with the hard axles. He placed a narrow sword on his right hand, and the risk was unpredictable after entering Shanxi, and he didn't actually have the strength to use it now.

The journey was very smooth. They met a group of rebels who were assembling and planning to attack the county seat, and when they heard that they were from Datong, they immediately let them go.

The Qing court did not have many garrisons in Shanxi, and almost all of them were concentrated near Taiyuan. After the news of the Datong riots spread, all the Qing soldiers retreated to the fortified city. In three or five days, the mountains and wilderness in the north of Shanxi have become the world of the righteous army. Cut off braids are the best pass.

After Taiyuan, the countryside is not as chaotic as in the north. There are also rebels here, but they don't dare to act so rampantly. In order to avoid trouble, Jin Xiaoding ordered his party to wear fur hats to cover their bare heads.

Cutting off braids can be both convenient and troublesome.

It took them two days to get to Jiexiu.

The soldiers found a few locals to lead the way, and when they arrived at Fan's house, there were only a few servants guarding it. Fan Yongdou knew that his identity might cause trouble, and after hearing that his big colleague had changed, he fled to Jiexiu County early. After Jin Xiaoding was arrested by Geng Chun, he finally felt the panic and fear that Zhai Tang had at the beginning.

The group inquired nearby, the Fan family had a good reputation in Jiexiu, and the people around them didn't see much disgust when they talked about the Fan family.

Jin Xiaoding tore off a piece of white cloth from his body, bit his finger and wrote the words "Jin Xiaoding" on it. The accompanying soldiers found the servants of the Fan family, Jin Xiaoding wrapped the cloth ball and handed it to him, took out a tael of silver from his arms, and said, "You enter Jiexiu and send this letter to Fan Dong's family, I have something urgent to find him." ”

The servant took the silver, held it in his arms, and looked at Jin Xiaoding suspiciously.

"Go, if Fan Dongjia asks about you, you can say that I am waiting for him here."

The servants departed.

The rebel tide is spreading southward. Looking at this posture, if the Qing court does not mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses to suppress it, and allows the Shanxi Righteous Army to echo Datong, it will become a prairie fire.

Jin Xiaoding waited for a day.

In the afternoon of the next day, a group of fifty cavalrymen walked slowly from the mountain road to the east, and a banner was planted in the center, which read, "Da Sheng Kui!" "Three big words.

Jin Xiaoding led everyone to meet him, his feet were still sore when he walked briskly, but thinking of the big things that was about to be accomplished, the excitement made him want to stand in front of Fan Yongdou immediately.

Fan Yongdou also wore a fur hat, he didn't cut the braids, his hat was to block the braids.

The two teams gathered at the door of Fan's house, and Fan Yongdou pointed to his door, "Envoy Jin, please come in!" ”

"Please!"

Fan Yongdou, who walked into his house, was like a guest, and walked into the hall behind Jin Xiaoding. When the servants saw their master coming back, they were busy boiling water to make tea. Jin Xiaoding's aura is completely different from that of more than a month ago.

Fan Yongdou noticed that Jin Xiaoding's actions were a little inconvenient, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Fan Dongjia!" Jin Xiaoding leaned back in his chair, his skeleton lazy as if it had been disassembled, "I'm sorry for you!" ”

"Where?"

"My bones are very soft, I will supply you and Jiang Jian to Geng Chun, fortunately, Jiang Zongbing will raise troops in time, otherwise I will bring great disaster to the Fan family."

"You!" Fan Yongdou stretched out his finger to him, stopped slowly, and said, "You did it on purpose!" ”

Jin Xiaoding didn't seem to believe his ears and asked, "What?" ”

"You can deceive Jiang Pin, but you can't deceive me, you were caught by Geng Chun on purpose."

Jin Xiaoding showed a sly smile, "Fan Dongjia is really shrewd. ”

"The Qing court regards Fan Dongjia as a slave, and the general regards Fan Dongjia as a brother, is it difficult to choose this path?"

Fan Yongdou sneered and asked, "How do you know that Nanming will win?" ”

"Did the Fan Dong family think that the Qing court would win?" Jin Xiaoding looked surprised, "The general often praises Fan Dongjia as a Jin Shangkui, and he will not only have such vision. ”

Fan Yongdou sighed and said: "More than ten days ago, I thought that Nanming was just a flash in the pan, until Jiang Ming really reversed, and I had to throw myself to the five bodies that the general admired. "Jiang inlaid in Datong anyway, it is equivalent to inserting a nail into the Jiangbei, just like Jin Shenghuan is entrenched in Shanxi in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty are completely balanced.

"That's nature!" Jin Xiaoding was faintly self-satisfied. Fan Yongdou praised Zhai Zhe, which made him happier than directly praising him.

"With subordinates like you, why worry about the general's big things!"

Fan Yongdou looked at the young Jin Xiaoding. From him, he saw the shadow of Zhai Zhe more than ten years ago. What kind of leader is it, what kind of pro-soldier is brought out.

"Please Fan Dongjia get up and go to Jiangnan, it's too late!"

Fan Yongdou was very calm, "Shanxi is chaotic, the Qing court can't take care of me for a while, I'm ready, even if you don't show up today, I will leave for the south." ”

Jin Xiaoding arched his hand: "Congratulations to the Fan Dongjia for their reunion in Jiangnan, Fan Dongjia is going to Jiangnan, there must be a lot of property that cannot be taken away, please give it to me, I will give the general a letter to show the merits." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I am the general's envoy, and I want to rectify the righteous army in Shanxi!"

The frail young man's face flowed with radiance, and he looked more energetic than a normal person.

"This is the General's order?"

"It's not!" Jin Xiaoding shook his head, "But I'm the envoy sent to Shanxi by the general!" ”

Jiang Jian was trapped in Datong, and the Shanxi rebels had no dragons. He was ready to raise the banner of General Pingyu's envoy and gather the rebel army. If he could get Fan Yongdou's help, with the Fan family's power in Shanxi, he would be able to quickly gather thousands of troops and horses, instead of letting the Qing captives break the rebel armies in various places.

Fan Yongdou thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, this is my meeting gift to the general!" ”

After so many turmoil, the Fan family and the Zhai family are difficult to separate after all. Staying in the north would be unpredictable, and Zhai Zhe's prospect in Jiangnan gave Fan Yongdou the idea that he might have a chance to climb to a position he couldn't imagine. One qiē requires the joint efforts of these people.

Shanxi people are full of expectations for Zhai Zhe, even Jin Xiaoding.

They didn't expect that in the entire chess game, Shanxi was just the abandoned son of the general Pingyu.
