Miao Yuan looked at Balsborough with a flattering expression and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if Your Highness has recruited the old man here, but do you have any orders?" ”

Balsborough glanced at Miao Yuan and said, "This time, my Tatar army was able to break through Taiyuan City so smoothly, thanks to Mr. Miao's great help!" ”

Miao Yuan hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Highness has tormented the decay, this is just what the decay should do, if it weren't for His Highness to take care of the decay over the years, my Miao family would not have become one of the top wealthy merchants in Taiyuan City in such a short period of time." Helping His Highness break the city is what the old man should do! ”

Balsborot looked at Miao Yuan with satisfaction, nodded and said, "My Tatar clan will definitely not let my friends suffer, and the jade and jewelry obtained in Taiyuan City this time will be handed over to Mr. to help us buy grain and ordnance from the Central Plains." ”

Miao Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he knew very well how much wealth the Tatar army had looted in Taiyuan Town.

Don't look at the fact that Taiyuan Town is located in the north, in fact, because it is located in a border town, many merchants will set up a base in Taiyuan Town to trade with the grassland peoples.

Therefore, a lot of wealth has been accumulated in Taiyuan Town, at least in the north, the border towns are not necessarily barren land, especially in Taiyuan Town, which is located in Shanxi, there are more than one or two gentry.

This time, the Tatar army plundered a lot of wealth in Taiyuan Town, and those jade and jewelry were not of much practical use to the Tatars.

Compared with the more practical materials such as grain, straw, ordnance, etc., the Tatars naturally did not have much desire to possess jade and jewelry.

Balsborough's willingness to hand over those jade and jewels to him in exchange for grain, tea, ordnance, and other extremely important materials for the Tatars was obviously a sign of his importance.

It's just that once they handle it like this, their Miao family will be able to make at least tens of millions of profits, and if this kind of thing happens a few more times, their Miao family will definitely be able to become one of the few wealthy gentry in the north in a short period of time.

Miao Yuanqiang endured the surprise in his heart and saluted Balsborough: "The old man will live up to His Highness's expectations, and do his best to raise armaments and grain for His Highness." ”

Balsborot patted Miao Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Very good, this prince is a good daughter of Mr. Miao, why don't you give this prince a concubine." ”

Miao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Balsborough to fall in love with his daughter.

He only has one daughter under his knees, and now he is only twenty-eight years old, although he has also reached the age of marriage, but Miao Yuan is treated like a pearl in the palm of his hand, and now Balsborot speaks, Miao Yuan's face changes slightly, although he is quite reluctant in his heart, but he knows better that this is Balsborot wants to marry him, to be precise, to make the relationship between the two parties closer and more stable.

Therefore, Miao Yuan only hesitated slightly, and immediately nodded to Balsborough and said: "Your Highness can take a fancy to the little girl, it is the honor of the little girl, and the old man will send someone to send the little girl to His Highness, and ask His Highness to have mercy!" ”

Balsborough nodded and said, "Very good, this time I invited Mr. Miao to come, but I want to invite Mr. Miao to watch a good show." ”

Miao Yuan's face showed a little doubt, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

Balsborough pointed to the area in front of him and said, "Mr. Miao, have you seen those captives?" ”

There are so many Ming soldiers, and there are at least thousands of them, Miao Yuan saw it as soon as he came over, how could he notice it.

With a somewhat hideous look, Balsborough glanced at Miao Yuan, and then said to the pro-army beside him: "Pass the order and send these people on the road!" ”

"What!"

Listening to Balsborot's words, Miao Yuan couldn't help but be startled, his face showed a look of horror, and he looked at Balsborot in astonishment.

Balsborot said lightly: "It is said that these captives are ready to be brought back to the grassland, but this time the goal of Father Khan is to break through Beijing City and capture the Son of Heaven alive, so it is a burden to take these captives again." ”

Miao Yuan said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, is this going to kill prisoners?" ”

Balsborough nodded as a matter of course and said, "Yes, keeping these people, the prince will still assign some of his subordinates to guard them, so it is better to kill them all." ”

Miao Yuan looked at the Ming soldiers in the distance, and then looked at the Tatar cavalry around him aiming arrows at those soldiers one by one, and he couldn't help but ooze a little cold sweat on his forehead.

As he spoke, Balsborot's order was given, and the Tatar cavalrymen saw arrows in their hands shooting at the soldiers who were tied together.

These soldiers were brought out, especially to this wilderness, and all around them were a Tatar cavalry looking at them with fierce looks, and many of them muttered in their hearts, faintly feeling a little bad.

Now that Balsborough gave the order, he saw an arrow fall like a torrential rain.

Screams, begs for mercy, and even cursing were heard incessantly, and many soldiers ran around like headless flies.

However, all the prisoners of war are tied up in a string, you run here, I run there, the consequence is that no one can escape, can only watch the rain of arrows fall.

Thousands of soldiers were shot on the spot one by one, the scene was simply cruel and desolate, bloody and bloody, from the beginning to the end lasted for more than an hour, when the last soldier was full of arrows and fell, I saw that the open land was densely packed with corpses, blood stained the earth, and people couldn't help but have an endless chill in their hearts.

But the Tatar cavalrymen who did not hesitate to shoot the arrows in their hands were extremely excited, and shouted excitedly as they shot the arrows in their hands.

As if they were not shooting alive in their hands, as for Miao Yuan, who was standing next to Balsborot, the whole person almost fainted with a terrible scene at this moment.

He's just a businessman, even if it's for the sake of profit, there's nothing he doesn't dare to do, but it's the first time he's seen a scene like this Chiguoguo's killing.

If he could, he would rather not come here than see such a horrific scene.

Balsborot laughed and said to Miao Yuan: "Sir see, my Tatar warriors crisscross the grassland, invincible in the world, this time the army will come to the city of Beijing, and reproduce the glory of the battle of Tumubao." ”

In the battle of Tumubao that year, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty were defeated, and even the Son of Heaven who drove the expedition fell into the hands of the Warats.

Warat and Tatar are originally descendants of Mongolia, which is nothing more than a difference in title.

The battle of Tumubao is only the past few decades, and it can be said that it is the greatest victory of the grassland people against the Central Plains Dynasty since the Ming Taizu and Chengzu, and it is naturally respected by the grassland people.

Holding back the fear in his heart, Miao Yuan squeezed out a little smile on his face and said: "Then the old man wishes His Highness a victory and a triumphant return!" ”

Balsborot laughed and shouted at his men: "Listen, everyone, the army will set off with the whole army and send to Beijing with Prince Ben's army." ”

After crossing Taiyuan, you will enter the range of Gyeonggi, and if you are fast, you can reach Jingshi in a few days, and the most important thing is that there are not too many natural barriers between Gyeonggi and Shanxi.

Therefore, the land of the nine towns of the border pass has always been valued by the imperial court, and any problem can affect the safety of the capital to a certain extent.

The geographical location of Jingshi is destined to be the first to bear the brunt of the grassland once the grassland private capital goes south to graze horses, so there is a saying that the Son of Heaven guards the country in later generations.

When Balsborough led an army of 100,000 straight to the Beijing Division, he rushed to the Beijing Division for 800 miles.

Zhu Houzhao really didn't expect the Tatars to be so powerful, the most important thing is that the other party took Taiyuan a town quietly, and after crossing Taiyuan, the outer barrier of the Beijing division disappeared all at once, that is to say, in a few days at most, the Tatar army can go straight to the place of the heart of the frightened, and I don't know when the Tatar army will come to the city.

This sudden change is not to say that Zhu Houzhao was stunned, such as Jiao Fang, Wang Hua, Chen Ding and other pavilion elders also had solemn expressions at this time.

This is a major plan related to the safety of the Jingshi, if one is not careful, the Jingshi will fall into a crisis.

Chen Ding coughed lightly and saluted Zhu Houzhao: "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible and come up with a countermeasure, otherwise once the Tatar army arrives in the city, the Beijing division will fall into chaos." ”

Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, his face was a little pale, and he subconsciously looked at the next place, in the past few years, Chu Yi has been by his side to solve problems for him, but whenever there is anything, Chu Yi will help him solve it one by one, and he has never let him down.

This time the Tatar army entered the Kou, Zhu Houzhao naturally subconsciously thought of Chu Yi, but Chu Yi is now far away in the south of the Yangtze River, presiding over the pacification of King Ning's rebellion, and he is not by his side at all.

Slightly stunned, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said for the first time: "Cao Shaoqin!" ”

I saw Cao Shaoqin take a step forward and bow down and say, "The slave is here!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Immediately, 800 miles will urgently send someone to send a message to Chu Daban, inform Chu Daban of the border pass, and at the same time inform Chu Daban that with me, the Beijing division will not be chaotic, so that he can calm the south with peace of mind." ”

Cao Shaoqin was slightly stunned, he thought that Zhu Houzhao would send a decree to recall Chu Yi as soon as possible, but he never thought that Zhu Houzhao would actually send an edict to Chu Yi, so that he would not have to worry about the safety of the Beijing teacher.

However, Cao Shaoqin immediately received the order and left.

Watching Cao Shaoqin leave, Wang Hua couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, why don't you urgently summon the chief manager back to the division, King Ning has already been taken, even if there are still some rebellions in the south of the Yangtze River, but it can't affect the overall situation, and now the Tatars are the top priority to enter the army......"
