Chapter 428: Arrest the profiteers

Emperor Tianqi looked deep-eyed, and said: "Liu Hongxun is an old minister of the previous dynasty, and he has always boasted of being clear, I never imagined that even such a person would be a thief, which is the most terrifying thing for me." Is there anyone around me who can be trusted? ”

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but think in his heart, according to the experience of Emperor Chongzhen in history, when the city of Beijing was broken, there was really a trustworthy person, that is, the eunuch Wang Chengen.

As for the others...... Of course, the king came to welcome the king, and the Jiannu people came to welcome the Jiannu people.

Of course, it seems that Zhang Jingyi's ideas are too extreme, and it may not be the case for everyone, that is, nine out of ten people are caught and shot, and they are definitely not wronged.

Zhang Jingyi looked at the angry Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he had to turn the topic back and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority at the moment is to intercept the seven families who are about to enter the customs, but ...... The minister feels that these people are extremely cunning, they enter the customs, but they involve countless lives, because of this, they will be cautious! ”

"The minister's suggestion is that Shanhaiguan should naturally strengthen vigilance, temporarily loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and the so-called loose outside means that everything should be as usual, so that they can enter the customs with confidence."

"And the so-called internal tightness is that after they enter the customs, they can kill with one blow, otherwise...... They are in the gate, I don't know how many people are sheltering them, and when the time comes, they will change their appearance, and if they want to find them again, I am afraid that it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a more solemn face: "Yes, they will never use their original identities to enter the customs...... That's what matters. ”

As he spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "The front line of Shanhaiguan needs to be strictly guarded. It's better to have someone sit in ......."

Tian Ergeng listened, his spirit was shocked, and he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the minister go to the town in person?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Commander Tian has always been loyal, you might as well let him worry about the king this time." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse still hesitated for a moment before he said to Tian Ergeng: "Okay, you go!" You must be bold and careful. This thief is pervasive, and if he is not careful, he may have to escape. ”

Tian Ergeng hurriedly said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

In the capital, it seems that the atmosphere is quite relaxed.

Tian Ergeng was ordered to go to Shanhaiguan, and in Shanhaiguan, a military horse had been replaced, which was drawn from the Beijing camp to replace the original Guanning army.

The last time the Guanning army rebelled, there were 2,000 people, but the entire Guanning army had more than 20,000 people, so it was ...... In order to prevent this from happening, many of the generals of the Guanning army were transferred to the interior, and they were replaced by military attaches from various provinces.

After Tian Ergeng arrived at Shanhaiguan, the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan and the local town guards and eunuchs all came to greet him.

After greeting each other, Tian Ergeng closed the door and discussed the matter of blocking the thief, and probably worked out a plan.

So, on the one hand, a large number of scouts and spies were sent to begin to search for the traces of the seven families, and on the other hand, a large number of Jinyi guards were secretly dispatched to lurk in Shanhaiguan.

Everything is in place.

With the cooperation of the local chief military officer, Tian Ergeng temporarily stayed in the town guard eunuch's mansion and discussed with the town guard eunuch every day.

Soon, the latest news arrived.

Soon, a convoy supplying Liaodong will enter the customs.

The scale of this convoy is not small, and what it is carrying is the signboard of Ningyuan Mansion, which is originally to supply Ningyuan's military supplies.

Of course, Tian Ergeng didn't dare to act rashly, so he naturally waited until the other party arrived at Shanhaiguan and then caught the turtle in the urn.

After waiting for more than ten days, the convoy finally came to Shanhaiguan.

There are two city gates in this mountain pass, one is facing the outside of the pass, after entering from the outside of the pass, you will enter the urn city, and then you can pass through the other city gate and enter the pass.

At this time, Tian Ergeng was standing on the tower of Shanhaiguan, watching the continuous convoy begin to enter the customs, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and he glanced at a thousand households.

The thousand households immediately understood, and then silently waved the flag to the soldiers at the city gate, as well as the spies.

As usual, the soldiers made a search as if they were going to search, until someone stepped forward, stuffed them with silver, and said in a low voice: "We are under the command of General Zu Dashou, the chief officer of the forward, and there are some officials and dependents of Jinzhou in this convoy, but I am afraid that it will not be convenient at this time." The relationship between General Zu Dashou and your general is also excellent, please be accommodating. ”

With that, he took out a waist card, and then gave him a heavy ingot of gold.

The guard in front of the gate weighed the gold, looked up in the direction of the tower, and smiled: "Very good, let's go in." ”

The man thanked him for his kindness, and then the mighty convoy entered the gate.

Tian Ergeng saw that the convoy had all entered the urn city, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately said to the partial general who had a bad relationship with him on the side: "Immediately hijack this convoy, take people carefully for me, close the front and rear city gates, close the door today, beat the dog, and release the signal!" ”

At the sound of an order, fireworks were set off on the castle tower.

As a result, on the tower of this urn city, the foot archers who had already been ambushed came out one after another.

Immediately afterwards, countless officers and soldiers poured out from all directions under the leadership of the captain of Jinyi.

The gates of the city, which had been opened, were suddenly closed.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the officers and soldiers lit torches and surrounded the convoy of 100 cars.

Tian Ergeng was already very excited.

He has no military merits, so although his official position is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and at the same time, he also adds the governor of the left capital, but in fact, he is not even an earl.

This time, His Majesty said that if he took the people of these seven families, he would be crowned as a duke, and if he took the thief today, he would not only raise his eyebrows and make Beizhen Fusi prestige, but also let him protect his descendants and become a hereditary duke.

Tian Ergeng took a group of captains down the city tower with great anticipation.

And there was already a thousand households, who were holding torches violently, and couldn't wait to rush to the front, and said to the people in the convoy very arrogantly: "Everyone, all lie down for me, Jinyi Wei will do things, and those who resist will die." ”

After he shouted, he said, "Come on, drive down all the people and goods in this car." ”

The steward who escorted the carriage and horses hurriedly and anxiously said: "No, no, we have the chief officer of the forward......"

Qianhu went up, raised his hand to give him a slap, and said coldly: "This is Shanhaiguan, and soon, it will be the capital!" Outside the gate, he is still a character as the chief soldier of the forward, but here, it is almost at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what is he, a fart! ”

slapped down, the steward's eyes showed a look of fear, and he still said: "Don't come forward, don't come forward......"

Since then, many of the guys escorting the goods have already hugged their heads and lay down.

At this time, a lieutenant held a torch and first lifted the curtain of a sedan chair, only to find that the sedan chair was empty.

He looked surprised, turned around, but on the other side, there were already several people who began to lift the felt cloth of the truck, looking at the black things on the car, full of doubts, so he subconsciously put the torch closer to see.

It's just that...... Upon closer inspection, one of them suddenly shouted: "It's gunpowder......"

As soon as the word gunpowder came out, it ...... violently The fire has come out.

It turned out that the gunpowder was flammable and very dangerous, and the sparks of the torch sputtered, and a drop of fire oil fell into it.

All of a sudden.

Boom.

There was a loud bang.

That's a whole cart of gunpowder, and it's incredibly powerful.

The heat wave struck suddenly, the sky was full of sparks, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly rose.

The people around the carriage and horses have already blown up.

Countless officers and troops in the distance were in chaos for a while.

Immediately after, the flames were splashed, and the gunpowder in the other chariots and horses also rumbled...... Boom bang

In the entire Shanhaiguan, countless stumps and broken arms flew around, long been shrouded in thick black smoke, this urn city was small, and the people were dense, just a bang passed, someone was killed, and everyone ran towards the other direction of the firelight like a headless fly. It's a pity that the gunpowder cart on the other side exploded again.

In the continuous roar, Tian Ergeng had been knocked away by the people around him, he was shocked, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, the heat wave hit his face one after another, countless sand and gravel hit him with countless wounds, and the fleeing soldiers almost knocked him down several times.

A lieutenant beside him pounced on him: "Hurry up." ”

For a while, Shanhaiguan was in chaos.

The fire was raging, rising and burning for half the night.

When a group of people finally put out the fire, they found that it was already a corpse.

Tian Ergeng was lost and depressed, and at this time he was unkempt, and the remaining captains did not know how many were left, and the other soldiers did not know how many they had run.

At this time, I actually heard many people shouting: "The Jiannu people are here." ”

Thereupon...... Many officers and soldiers have been scattered.

The smoke was still pungent to the point that even half of the castle tower was burned.

But at this moment, there was a mighty sound of horses' hooves outside.

A military horse came overnight with torches.

Tian Ergeng is like a frightened bird, isn't the Jiannu people really here?

The horse team entered the gate, and the first person dismounted, and shouted: "Collect the corpses and put out the fire." ”

Seeing this, Tian Ergeng still stood here motionless with a group of people who lost their souls.

The man stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped Tian Ergeng, and shouted angrily: "Who are you, aren't you the thief who blew up Shanhaiguan?" Come...... Take this man down! ”

Tian Ergeng snorted and almost fell.

But a captain behind him said at this time: "This is the Governor of Zuo, the commander of Jinyi Weitian!" ”

The man stopped, and a man behind him approached with a torch to illuminate Tian Ergeng's face.

And Tian Ergeng also saw the other party, only to see that the other party was dressed in military uniform, in high spirits, and with a fierce face on his face, this person ...... It's familiar.

This person said: "Hehe, it turned out to be Commander Tian...... Commander Tian is a pro-army commander, why did he come to this Shanhaiguan? ”
