Cizhu Cage, the station of Du Min, the deputy capital of Manchuria in Xi'an, is also the general headquarters of the Qing army that encircled and suppressed Lao Mugang.

Yesterday evening, Du Min hosted a banquet here for the two generals of Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao.

Both the party and the tower were senior generals of the former Li Zicheng Dashun regime, born in the "old eighth team", and their qualifications were older than Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng, who were still resisting.

In the Ming Dynasty, the two of them were also a noble prince, and a noble marquis, so the two of them came to surrender to Du Min was very surprised, and Yu said left and right: "The old thief, this dynasty is coming down, which shows that our country's military power is prominent, and the unification of the United States has become early, and there will be no one who dares to oppose our country in the future." ”

He has sent people to Zhushan to report the good news to the Xi'an general Fu Kachan.

Today's banquet is to appease the two generals;

The second is to get more information about the Ming army from the mouth of the second general.

During the banquet, the party guarded the plain face with a look of shame, drank wine and ate meat, and did not say much.

This made Du Min unhappy, but he didn't show it.

Ta Tianbao told Du Min several times that he could come forward to persuade Liu Tichun, who was resisting in Beilizhuang, and revealed that Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi were actually active in the area of the Yellow Lawn dozens of miles east of Beilizhuang.

"Yellow Lawn?"

Du Min asked someone to bring a map to Ta Tianbao to mark the location of this place, and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but say: "It seems that the two thieves Hao and Yuan want to go to Xingshan to invest Li thieves to come to Heng." ”

"A month ago, Hao and Yuan two thieves intended to come to Lao Mu Kong and Liu Tichun to join forces, but Lao Mu Kong was short of grain and grass, and the official army was pressing again, Liu Tichun knew that Lao Mu Kong was difficult to protect, and he didn't want to give up, so he asked Hao and Yuan two thieves to go to Xingshan first..."

Ta Tianbao, who returned to the camp, poured out all his knowledge in order to make meritorious contributions.

He believes that the reason why Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi did not leave in the Yellow Lawn is that they want to accept Liu Tichun's withdrawal; Second, it may be difficult to break the encirclement of Li Laiheng in Xingshan by the Huguang Green Battalion.

After hearing this, Du Min nodded and asked Ta Tianbao again: "Do you know how many people are under these two thieves?" ”

"There are more than 2,000 remnants of the Hao Army, and there are less than 1,000 Yuan Soldiers."

Ta Tianbao is estimated, and the general situation is about the same, and there will not be many discrepancies.

After all, Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi fought several fierce battles with the Qing army in Shaanxi in Fangxian, Zhushan, Zhuxi and other places, not only losing their territory, but also seriously losing their soldiers and horses.

In its heyday, Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zong's second battalion had nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, which is why Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi had the most territory.

Dang Shousu on the opposite side glanced at Ta Tianbao and sighed slightly in his heart.

If it weren't for Ta Tianbao persuading him to surrender, he wouldn't have parted with his old fellows.

It's useless to regret it at this time, all he can do is to honestly obey the orders of the Manchurians, otherwise, he will inevitably die.

Here, Ta Tianbao knew that Dang Shousu was watching him, but he didn't have any worries, and continued to confide his knowledge of Hao and Yuan's situation to the Manchurians.

said that in addition to Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi, there were also Hong Yuao, the minister of the supervising army, and Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the supervising army, who was in the Yellow Lawn.

Ye Bu, the leader of the Manchurian Association, asked curiously: "Who is the official of Mao Dengshou of the prison army Hong Yuao and Shizhou?" ”

"This..."

Ta Tianbao couldn't understand it for a while.

It is only said that when the Yongli Imperial Court awarded them the title of Thirteen Families, it was Yongli who personally promoted Hong Yuao as the right imperial history, and ordered the towns, and then retreated into Kuidong with the Thirteen families, and the Yongli Imperial Court gave Hong the title of the right attendant of the Governor's Military Department.

If you really want to compare the official positions of Hong and Mao, who is big and who is small, there is really no law.

At this time, Ma Changyuan, a registered general soldier under Ta Tianbao, said: "In the past, it was nominally that Mao Dengshou as the governor's ministry, but Mao's ministry has always been in Wang Xingguang's army and did not come to Jiangbei, so most of the families in Jiangbei listened to that Hong Yuao. ”

This may be the truth.

One south and one north, each responsible.

Du Min and Ye Bu glanced at each other, and then asked the eunuch Pan Yinglong what his origin was.

Ta Tianbao said that this person was originally the eunuch of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and after Jiashen absconded from Beijing, he was transferred to the Yongli Imperial Court as a eunuch of Bingbi, and then took the initiative to ask to supervise the army in the Hao Shaoqi Department.

"If you can capture Hao and Yuan, the two thieves, Na Hong and Pan, and the two of them, this time the merit of fighting the chaos will be in the forefront."

Ye Bu actually asked him to lead a banner soldier, and then draw 2,000 battalions from the rear, close the party and the second division of the tower and go straight to the yellow lawn, so as not to rob the Huguang Green Battalion in the east.

Du Min was greatly moved after hearing this, Liu Thief Tichun had been demoted to surround Tian Heng and Wanhe in the back of the village, and it would be possible to recover it in two or three days at most, so it was completely feasible to start attacking the Yellow Lawn, and there was no need to even transfer the battalion from the rear, just transfer back the two leaders who were scattered nearby to "sweep the holes".

Just as he was about to ask the party and the tower if they were willing to make meritorious contributions to the Qing Dynasty, the tower Tianbao hesitated for a moment, and actually spit out another great joy.

“... In addition, according to the post information, the puppet Han King Zhu Jingli and the Anton King Zhu Shenglang are also in Haobu! ”

After saying this, Ta Tianbao glanced at Dang Shousu, who was sitting there silently, and sure enough, the latter frowned slightly, looking at him with a cold gaze.

couldn't help but retract his gaze, the old party still couldn't see the situation clearly, and it wouldn't end well after returning to the Qing Dynasty.

I can't be like him.

"Oh?!"

The information of the two "puppet kings" revealed by Ta Tianbao made the Manchurian generals in the house, including Du Min, all refreshed their spirits, and they all had light in their eyes.

Originally, the two thieves and the two important figures of the Yongli puppet dynasty were a great achievement, but I didn't want to be able to get two puppet kings, this is no longer a great achievement, but a miracle!

Thinking of an official document from the Xi'an General that he received half a month ago, Du Min couldn't help but ask Nata Tianbao: "I heard that you have established a Dingwu puppet emperor, but this puppet emperor is the puppet king of Han?" ”

"Dingwu?"

Ta Tianbao and several generals were stunned and shook their heads at the same time, saying that they had never supported the Dingwu puppet emperor, and they didn't know when King Han would be called emperor.

"Is that weird?"

Du Min was very surprised, if there was no such thing, why did the imperial court write everywhere to capture the puppet emperor?

Ye Bu thought for a while and guessed: "The puppet emperor is a tribute from Huguang to the imperial court, and it was unknown everywhere before, is it possible that Huguang made it up for the sake of inviting merit, or did it be mistaken by listening to the letter to surrender?" ”

"Maybe."

Regardless of whether the puppet emperor exists or not, the two puppet kings are also worthy of Du Min's deployment of troops.

At that moment, he had a banquet with the party Shousu, Ta Tianbao and others, and ordered people to take the two generals to resettle, and they deployed with Ye Bu and others to attack the Yellow Lawn.

All the Manchurian generals agreed with the attack, and they did not want the green camp to take credit.

The merit of capturing two puppet kings is enough for each of them to remember a future!

Du Min did not delay, and quickly ordered Aha to send an order to the ninth and twelfth leaders, asking the two leaders to rush to Cizhulong before the time of tomorrow.

He also sent people to urge the generals Tian Heng, Wan and Suke to carry out the village.

said that no matter whether the thief Liu Tichun lives or dies, as long as he recovers, he will ask for credit for the second general.

After the deployment was completed, due to some alcohol, Du Min let the generals disperse and rest first.

When they got outside, there were no stars in the sky, and it was pitch black.

Standing here, like standing alone in the heaven and earth, thinking about the great achievements of that day, I can't help but be ambitious.

When I went to the house where there was a Han girl, a strong wind suddenly blew in the mountains, which blew the bonfires in the village and scattered them, which also made the Manchurian deputy shiver for no reason.

Years of battlefield instinct made Du Min look around.

In sight, there was nothing.

The inside and outside of the stockade are also unusually quiet.

After standing for a moment, Du Min smiled, feeling a little suspicious, shook his head and walked towards the house where there was a Han girl.

As everyone knows, in the night that he can't see, a pair of eyes are staring at Cizhu Cage.
