Asking the people around Beijing to buy food, how can it be as easy as it says.

Ordinary people's families, except for a little ration, how can there be food to sell to him.

There is only the noble manor.

Hou Shilu had asked his subordinates to buy grain with 5,000 taels of silver, but he was stunned to buy only a little bit of rice.

Cooking porridge dislikes too little rice.

Why did Xungui's manor refuse to sell rice to Hou Shilu?

It was not that the soldiers were afraid that they would find out that they had not carried out the orders of the imperial court to "clear the wilderness" and had not transferred a large amount of grain elsewhere.

There is another reason why this is the case, that is, the transfer of a large amount of food and property, doesn't it prove that his family is very rich, is this still a good official with "two sleeves and a clean breeze"?

Hou Shilu believed that he refused to open the city, so he had to take the soldiers to Shunyi, buy a little bit of food around Shunyi, continue to boil gruel, and wait for Mangui.

He walked on the front foot, and Huang Taiji rushed to Sanhe City on the back foot, and easily broke through.

On the one hand, Huang Taiji sent Abatai and Yue Zhi to lead a thousand cavalry and 500 sentry cavalry to chase Hou Shilu in the direction of Shunyi, and on the other hand, he sent Mang Gurtai to take the banner and the coat responsible for transporting grain under the banner to plunder the surrounding places.

Mang Gurtai and Zilharang led their troops to plunder all the way and pounced on the manor under the name of Gongshun Marquis Wu Weiying.

Because the Houjin army relied on the armor of the Ming army all the year round, it was almost the same as the Ming army in terms of clothing.

And Hou Shilu has a lot of Yiding Qiduo under his command.

Wu Jinxiao, the head of the village guarding the manor, only thought that the Ming army was coming, so he sent a nursing home to drive him away.

The courtyard was full of style, and when he saw these Houjin soldiers riding tall horses, he was not afraid, and shouted: "You are so bold, don't you look at whose place this is?" ”

Mang Gurtai motioned to his translator and asked him, "Whose place is this?" ”

"This is our manor of Gongshun Hou, you General Hou can't buy food and leave obediently, why are you so rude!"

The nurses held their heads high, their nostrils almost facing the sky, and they didn't look at them squarely.

After listening to the translation, Mang Gurtai knew that there was enough oil and water here, so he opened his bow and arrows, and shot the courtyard to death.

Wu Jinxiao was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

Mang Gurtai said: "Under the order of the Great Jin Kingdom Tiancong Khan, take over all the grain and grass assets here. You can rest assured, our Dajin officers and soldiers will never kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as money. ”

After that, regardless of whether the translator translated it to Wu Jinxiao or not, he ordered the soldiers to break into the manor.

According to the military order issued by Huang Taiji, the soldiers do not kill people, only money and food.

Watching the bags of grain being transported out, Mang Gurtai and Zilharang were overjoyed.

"According to the spy report, Hou Shilu couldn't buy food along the way, so he could only live by drinking gruel."

Mang Gurtai was excited, and couldn't help but be curious: "Obviously, tens of thousands of people can't eat so much food, why don't you sell it to them." ”

"Da Ming is not just this virtue, if they are all like Yang Chengying, every penny they get will raise soldiers and support the people, and the first Great Khan will still need to fight against Ming and live a life of licking blood from the knife edge."

Zilharang said: "Remember the Battle of Kaiyuan? Ma Lin is such a big general soldier, and the soldiers under his command are all hungry, but Zheng Zhifan's house is full of grains and treasures. ”

"Haha...... I heard from a few of the housekeepers who were arrested that all the officials of the imperial court claimed to be honest and honest, and they did not dare to transfer a large amount of grain and property when they carried out the execution of the fortified wall and clearing the wilderness. ”

Mang Gurtai was very happy: "If they don't eat, they will cheapen us." ”

They became even more excited, plundering the noble manors along the way, gaining a huge amount of wealth and food.

actually found the manor in the name of Princess Yan'en Zhu Huixian.

At first, the steward told them that the treasures and grain of the manor, in addition to rations, were transported to Liaodong.

Houjin Jun didn't believe it at all, and went to search the warehouse to find out that it was true.

Mang Gurtai originally wanted to arrest these Zhuang Ding and send them to Liaodong to humiliate Yang Chengying.

Zilharang persuaded: "Sanbeylor, not only will you not be ridiculed by doing this, but you will also be ridiculed by other Baylor ministers, saying that you only dare to bully a few Zhuang Ding.

It's better to be generous and let them all go. Keeping them is also eating our food, and there is no need to waste food. ”

"Okay, let them go."

Mang Gurtai said: "In the future, I will definitely defeat Yang Chengying on the battlefield!" ”

In this way, these poor Zhuang Ding escaped under the butcher's knife of the Houjin army.

On February 15, Hou Shilu, who lived by drinking gruel around Shunyi, finally waited for Mangui's people.

As soon as the two armies were about to make contact, they bumped into Abatai and Yue Xu.

Man Gui led his troops all the way, but he didn't have time to eat. His subordinates are all weak soldiers who are messing around, and they can't be compared with the Guan Ning army at all.

Seeing the Houjin army, he didn't even have time to greet Hou Shilu, and withdrew with the Datong soldiers.

At this time, there were only more than a thousand soldiers under Hou Shilu's command who were dizzy from hunger.

Eating well is not necessarily an opponent, let alone this situation.

Not surprisingly, more than 1,000 soldiers were crushed by Abatai and Yue Xuan, and thousands of people were killed and wounded.

Hou Shilu has rich experience in escaping, and when he was caught off guard, he fled to Juyong Pass with two hundred family members.

Thousands of miles of Qinwang Road ended up like this.

This is not over, Hou Shilu does not dare to disobey the will of the imperial court.

Raise food in the Xuanfu jurisdiction, and prepare to bring the grain and the elite of Xuanfu to aid the Beijing Division.

But before he could start raising it, the imperial history of the imperial court came.

As soon as Yu Shi arrived, he questioned Hou Shilu and asked Hou Shilu why he didn't go to the aid of Jingshi with Man Gui. Not only did he return to Xuanfu after a circle, but he was also impeached, saying that he harassed the good people in the name of buying grain!

This frightened Hou Shilu, these crimes were implemented, and if he didn't die, he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Yushi saw that the effect had been achieved, so he asked Hou Shilu to hurry to aid the Beijing Division, and there must be no mistake.

Hou Shilu had no choice, he had no food in his hands, and he didn't have time to gather soldiers, so he could only take his only two hundred family members with him, and he didn't even dare to sleep, so he rushed to Beijing in a groggy state.

It's just that he never dreamed that a big black cauldron was about to buckle on his head.

A sum of silver transported to Jizhou, about 13,700 taels, was sent out by Huang Taiji on the way, and another fierce general Rausa was cut off.

The time is February 15th.

Lausa strictly followed Huang Taiji's instructions, and as long as the money was not needed, he released all the soldiers who were escorting the silver.

These poor soldiers did not dare to report the situation truthfully.

As soon as they combined, it was rumored that Hou Shilu's people had "harassed" several noble manors, and Hou Shilu's command was all Mongolian Yiding.

It's better to rely on Hou Shilu's head for this matter, and say that Hou Shilu plundered the army and robbed them.

As a result, these messengers who escorted the silver reported to the imperial court and falsely accused Hou Shilu of looting the silver.

After the Ding Mao Incident, the imperial court held Hou Shilu accountable, and originally condemned him to death, but later, in the face of You Shiwei and others, Hou Shilu was designated as a border free from death.

From the general army of a town, he has become a soldier on the border.

That's for later, of course.

Just when this farce happened, Yuan Chonghuan led 9,000 Guan Ning troops to chase Huang Taiji.
