Chapter 332: A Big Game of Chess

Uiju border city, expeditionary barracks.

In a spacious wooden house, Yan Tienan, Tang Tiantian and several officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau were interrogating prisoners, and next to him stood a middle-aged uncle, who was originally a border citizen, because he spoke fluent Xian Chinese, he was recruited as a translator.

In the corner, there were more than a dozen prisoners with disheveled heads, ragged clothes, scarred bodies, yellow faces, thin muscles, and iron shackles on their hands and feet.

These criminals are all felons from the Yiju prison, and they have committed all kinds of serious crimes, such as robbery and murder, killing officials, criticizing the Li dynasty, traitors, etc., the charges have been convicted, and they are only waiting for the autumn to be executed, but for some reason, the generals of the Jin army who occupied the city of Yiju did not release them.

Yan Tienan's guess was that these prisoners were scarred and in extremely poor physical condition, and they could hang up at any time, so a fool would waste time and resources on these prisoners.

Yan Tienan waved his hand, and several wolf-like soldiers stepped forward and dragged the scarred and extremely bad complexion of the prisoner aside, and the prisoner was so frightened that he howled miserably, muttering something, looking at his expression, it seemed that he was begging for mercy and begging, but he was immediately killed by the ruthless soldier.

The dozen or so criminals on the side of the curled up were so frightened that they cried, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, although Yan Tienan and the others couldn't understand the bird's language, they also knew the general meaning.

The soldier brought the second person up, Yan Tie asked a few words in a pretended manner, and with a wave of his hand, the unlucky guy was immediately dragged aside by the soldier and chopped.

The third person was as thin as a monkey, and after being carried over by the soldiers, his face was full of sycophantic smiles, and he nodded at Yan Tienan, Tang Tiantian and others, looking like a standard traitor lackey and slave.

"Name?" Yan Tienan asked lazily.

"My name is Park Dachang." The thin monkey was full of flattery, nodding his head, almost wagging his tail like a dog, what was surprising was that this guy could actually speak Chinese, but with an obvious Xianyu accent, it sounded weird, but it could also be understood.

"What did you do before?"

"I ...... Be...... The small leader of the Yongyi Army ......" Park Dachang answered honestly, Yan Tienan put a file in front of him, which recorded the detailed information of each person, how could he tell a lie.

"Do you want to die or live?" Yan Tienan asked, although this guy looks obscene, but it is the person she is looking for, the two criminals who were chopped in front of her are in poor physical condition and may be hung up at any time, there is no need to waste valuable medicinal materials and food, so she used it as an example, killing one and intimidating other criminals.

The Yongyi Army is similar to the Ming Dynasty's Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other people's armies, with the overthrow of the Li Dynasty as their responsibility, and Park Dachang is a small leader of the Volunteer Army, who was captured by the Xian Army in an operation, and was locked up with a group of death row prisoners, waiting to be beheaded after the autumn.

"If you want to live, you want to live, and I beg the woman to spare her life...... I am willing to serve you as a cow and a horse, don't kill me......" Park Dachang nodded desperately, if he hadn't been held by two big soldiers, he would have knelt down and kowtowed desperately.

Yan Tienan nodded, asked people to remove the iron shackles on his hands and feet, took him down to wash and clean, changed into clean clothes, and locked him in a special prison for treatment and recuperation after a full meal.

Park Dachang got off to a good start, and the dozen or so people behind him were better tried, all of them were willing to be cattle and horses as slaves, and then they all enjoyed the same treatment as Park Dachang.

According to the intelligence information in the hands of the Military Intelligence Bureau, there are three or four units of the people's army in the Xian Empire, the largest one is the Yongyi Army, with a number of three or four hundred, the leader is called Jin Zhongyi, his father and brother were officials, because of the defeat in the Korean battle, he was framed by political enemies, and he was beheaded all over the house.

Knowing that Manmen was beheaded and the government was wanted, Jin Zhongyi went incognito, and at the same time recruited a group of like-minded brothers, erected the banner of the brave and righteous army, and fought against the Li Dynasty, the purpose of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Yizhou was to secretly support these righteous troops as puppets to fight against the Li Dynasty, weaken the strength of the Xian Empire, and finally support a real puppet king.

But the scumbag of the rebel army of the Xian Empire was speechless, and it could not be compared with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in China, so they had to change their original plan and turn to support Park Dachang and firmly control this puppet rebel army in their hands.

At present, it is said that after Park Dachang and others recover from their injuries, they will be given some relevant training, give them funds, food, weapons, etc., let Park Dachang pull up a team, after a certain period of training, wait until the strength is strong, and then annex several other rebel armies, and then stir up trouble in the Xian Empire, in order to ensure that Park Dachang can be effectively controlled, some chess pieces will be placed in his team, and the name of the unit has been thought of, it is called the Loyal Army, the slogan is to fight trenches, divide the fields, everyone has food, very down-to-earth, It is most popular among the poor.

The Xian Empire is small and sparse, the materials are scarce, the dynasty is rotten, corrupt officials are rampant, and the common people are more miserable than the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to buy, and it only needs to spend a little money, coercion and temptation are OK.

The Military Intelligence Bureau is in accordance with Zhu Jian's deployment, playing a big game of chess in the Xian Empire, Zhu Jian's preferred plan is to support a puppet king, but it is too laborious, and it has to buy people's hearts with all kinds of cages, and the investment is very large, and decades later, with a new king, he does not dare to guarantee that people will be obedient, according to the urine nature of the Xian Empire, Ya is a white-eyed wolf, rather than this, it is better to be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty once and for all, and make it a province of the Ming Dynasty.

He even made the worst estimate and plan, as an occupying army, he will definitely encounter a lot of resistance, and many people will die, so he can only take iron-blooded means to destroy the enemies who dare to resist, beat you to the point that you are afraid, truly surrender, migrate and disperse, immigrate to the Ming Dynasty, and finally achieve assimilation, in short, the radish stick is double-barreled, and it takes a little more time.

Of course Li Xin knew about this plan, and when he first heard about this big plan to start a hundred years, he was stunned for a long time before he let out a sigh, the emperor is wise and powerful, and he is far-sighted, why is Daming not happy?

Hanyang Castle Palace.

The rumbling war drums accompanied by the earth-shattering roar of killing, the soldiers of the Jin and Xian empires were fighting bloodily, Huang Taiji forced the cowardly Li Guozhu to surrender, and trapped the entire Hanyang royal city on all sides, knowing that his own family was not good at attacking fortifications, but he still rushed to build a large number of heavy siege equipment and led the army to launch a strong attack.

The main reason why Huang Taiji was in such a hurry to attack the city was that the strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty actually sent more than 100,000 troops to rescue the Xian Empire, Cao Bianjiao led his troops to defeat Qierharang, Li Xin defeated Abatai and had captured the border city of Yizhou, followed by the Xian Empire, which had formed the Qinwang army and was pouring towards Hanyang from all directions, and the time was pressing, forcing him to storm the Hanyang King City at any cost.

Similarly, the defenders of the royal city of Hanyang have learned that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have been dispatched, and the news that the two Jin armies have been defeated and the border city of Yizhou has been recovered, and the army of King Qin of each province is already on the way, so that the soldiers and civilians defending the city, the lord of Li, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are full of joy, and they are as impulsive and excited as if they have gnawed N viagra, and they are shouting to defend the royal city to the death.

Perhaps stimulated by all kinds of good news, the officials and rich men in the city have changed their stinginess in the past, and they have all become generous, and those who have contributed money, food, monks, and weapons, in short, all kinds of donations, one by one, have shown lofty patriotism and action, and under the stimulation of various benefits, the combat strength of the soldiers and civilians defending the city has skyrocketed, and they have fought bravely one by one, stubbornly resisting the crazy attack of the Jin army, and the battle situation is in a state of stalemate.

When Lord Li and the soldiers and civilians of Hanyang Wangcheng were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, Li Xin was lying on the bed leisurely, enjoying the service of two beautiful fresh girls.

As the commander of the expeditionary force, of course, he enjoys all kinds of privileges, these two young and beautiful fresh girls are selected by his subordinates from the more than 100 beautiful fresh girls sent to the rear barracks, and stay in his temporary headquarters to serve his daily life.

"You two, do you want to be a member of my Da Ming?"
