Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"My lords, my lords, we rushed to King Qin, most of the brothers were killed and injured without complaining, when soldiers eat food, life and death are on their orders, our soldiers' lives are not valuable, it is not a pity to die, but when soldiers eat food, they should not eat this kind of moldy food, if the soldiers are alive, how dare you bully us like this. "Obedient voice, these people are Man Gui's subordinates.

"How can this be justified, who is making a noise here? The king shouted angrily, and when all the officials saw him coming, they saluted.

When Man Gui's subordinates saw that the big official was coming, they didn't dare to hold it up, so they knelt down and saluted.

"Liang Sanqian, deputy general manager of the military standard battalion of the lowly Datong Army, has met the lord of the department, just because the batch of military rations issued by the military department is rancid, and we only want to exchange it for a batch of good grain. An officer replied.

"Hmph, your Datong army has repeatedly suffered defeats, resulting in the siege of the Beijing Division, now hundreds of thousands of people in the city consume 3,000 stone of rations every day, the grain outside can not be transported in, how long the grain warehouse in the city can be stored is not easy to say, this batch of grain is a little moldy, but it can still be eaten, it is better than a hungry stomach, this is a crisis, you will eat it for the country. Wang Zaijin said.

"Why is it that if we eat this moldy grain, no one else needs to eat it, and to whom is the good food in it? Liang Sanqian asked, pointing to the wall of the bureau.

"That's the food for the Shenjia battalion, naturally I want the best new food, the people are very ruined, and the merits are outstanding, how can you compare with it. Wang Zaijin sneered.

"Hehe, the Shenjia battalion has just won the battle, beheaded two hundred levels, you haven't cut the hair, and you have lost your life, and you are only worthy of eating this moldy old grain. The officials of the military department next to him also coaxed.

When they heard this, all the soldiers were bare-eared, ashamed and indignant, and bowed their heads and remained silent.

"According to the Da Ming Law, those who gather crowds to make trouble in heavy military aircraft shall be sentenced to imprisonment for three years for the first crime, two years for the middle crime, and one year for the next crime. Thinking that you are the reinforcements of King Qin, loyal to the country, coupled with the death of the Manchu General Army, you are deeply sad and can't help yourself, and the nonsense you say and do, the official doesn't care, and you all get food and go back. Seeing that these petty officers were wilting, the king of the military department said with official authority in Jin.

These soldiers were very helpless, so they had to push the grain cart away in frustration.

"These soldiers look quite elite, how many people there are. Wang Pu walked up to Wang Zaijin and asked in a low voice.

"The number of more than 2,000 people, I advise you not to make extraneous branches, these are Mangui's main barracks, no one is convinced, since Mangui's death, he has been making trouble, and several thousand generals I appointed have been driven back by them, full of gangsterism, so take these moldy grain to frustrate their spirit, Mangui's kind of barbaric soldiers brought out, not like the official army but like thieves. Wang Zaijin smiled bitterly.

"Xiaguan's long-range attack this time, the troops are slightly insufficient, and if these two thousand men and horses can be given to me, I will be more sure. Wang Pu felt that this was an army with potential, and if it could be collected for its own use, it would definitely benefit a lot.

"You are young and I'm afraid that you won't be able to suppress these arrogant soldiers, so the official will go to discuss with the first assistant, and you will also come along, such a matter needs to be requested, after all, it is the standard battalion of the general army, and it is not idle. "

"Lord Xie Butang has done it. Wang Puxi couldn't help but kneel down and salute.

"You don't have to give a big gift, if you can accept this military horse, you will take away a piece of my heart, and the official has to thank you. Hahaha. Wang Zaijin said with a smile.

Zheng

Ya'er was rewarded by the Great Khan because of his meritorious service, and at this time he received a fat difference and sent a batch of booty back to Zunhua, among which there are many Nanban young women, Zheng Ya'er as a clothed slave, can get the blue eyes of the former master Hu Mu Dan to be taken with him, that is, by virtue of being honest, never take more and take more, so he did not use his power for personal gain, taking the opportunity to bargain, but rather courteous to these Nanban slaves, after all, this group of people may not become neighbors or colleagues in the future, there is no need to make enemies.

This time to

escort 2,000 Han slaves but only sent a cow to record 300 people, Zheng Ya'er responded for the first time, and was careful along the way, but how could Uncle Houjin be willing to be bound by a coated slave, and he was unhappy and frequently took Han slaves out of anger, and whipped them all over his body, Zheng Ya'er did not dare to obstruct them in front of him, but behind his back, he asked someone to give medicine to the injured slaves, so many slaves were quite grateful to him.

"Brother Zheng, there is a guard in front, shall we take a detour. "Hu Dangwu, a Han slave, is a local merchant, because he travels around all the year round to make a living, he is familiar with this area and was promoted to a small leader by Zheng Ya'er, at least the treatment is better. He pointed to an earthen fort in front of him. In his heart, he hoped that the earth fort would suddenly kill the officials and soldiers to rescue them, but he didn't dare to hope that he could only accept his fate to curry favor with the second Tartar Brother Zheng.

"Don't be afraid, our Dajin warriors are invincible in the world, as long as they don't encounter that Ming army. Zheng Ya'er said and stopped, thinking of the firearms and strange military formations of the Ming army, he couldn't help but shudder, he only knew that the Jin people were invincible, and he never wavered in this belief, thinking that he was at ease to be a slave, and his life was finally stable, and the slaves gradually increased in the future. But since the tragic death of his former master, who has always been in awe, he has dreamed back more than once at midnight, and his ears are always surrounded by the crackling sound of life, and as soon as the firearm flashes, a golden soldier rolls off his horse, and the fierce golden soldier is so vulnerable. In his mind, there were always endless images of the Ming army fighting into the Jin Kingdom with firearms in hand. Maybe I, a minion, may not be able to sit still.

A woman's scream suddenly came from afar, and a Jin soldier dragged a Han woman to the side of the road behind the ruined wall and raped her, the woman let out a helpless moan and begged for mercy, but it aroused the beastly nature even more, the people around have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, just numb and continue to hurry, no one will take a second look, say more, otherwise there will be a murderous disaster.

In the Yikun Palace of the Forbidden City, Chongzhen was angry, and he roared angrily: "This unspeakable minister actually took the opportunity to increase the price, and asked me to give him the fire camp of Mangui, that is a dream, if the standard battalion of the general army is given to him, won't he be the chief soldier of Datong in the future, dreaming, hum, hum, the position of the general soldier will not give him this kind of unobservant minister, my Ming generals are not the son of man, and there is no one like the words." With that, he swept the cup to the ground.

Yuan Guifei trembled slightly, she didn't hear the sound of the cup breaking, but it fell on the carpet, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ah Lang, no, the saint, is the biggest in the world, whoever dares to disobey will be disciplined, and if he doesn't listen, his legs will be discounted." After saying that, he made a cute gesture to break his leg.

"It's not that simple. Chongzhen smiled and said with a wry smile: "I said, I will call me Ah Lang in the future, I like this folk name, it is very fresh." But after this trouble, the mood immediately improved a lot.

On November 27, Wang Pu's reasonable suggestions for several requests to supplement the Shenjia battalion with the remnants of Mangui were rejected by the emperor, Chongzhen's tone became more and more impatient, and the last time it was more implied to threaten, Han Yi and Wang Zaijin also saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and refused to speak for Wang Pu again, Wang Pu did not dare to continue to disobey, so he had to run away from the capital by night, and secretly swore in his heart: Lao Tzu will change his surname to Wang Ba if he comes to King Qin next time.

There are two roads to Zunhua, one is to go north to Miyun, the other is to go

east to Qizhou, Wang Pu feels that Huang Taiji is very scheming, if he knows the Ming Dynasty's surprise attack plan in advance, most of them will set up an ambush on the Miyun line, this line is safer for the Ming army, but he decided to go the opposite way, take the more dangerous Jizhou line.

In order to prevent ambushes, Wang Pu ordered the cavalry 100 troops to be scattered at an interval of 200 paces from each other, as if they were early warning planes, and once they discovered the enemy's situation, they would blow the whistle and relay the alarm, so as to gain time for the troops and horses of the headquarters to deploy in time.

There was no abnormality all the way east, because the war was quite empty around, which greatly increased the speed of the march, and by dusk the next day, the Shenjia battalion had arrived in Jizhou, but the city had been sealed, and the people inside hung down some wine, which was to pay tribute to the Ming army that dared to act in the wilderness. The prefect in the city is a wonderful person, and he actually found a troupe to set up a stage at the head of the city, babbling and singing dramas for the Shenjia camp under the city.

An important piece of information was obtained from the city, and yesterday a group of captives escorted 2,000 captive Han Chinese people from the side of Jizhou City and headed east.

"This group of captives in front of me is in the way, and I plan to catch up and destroy it. That night, Wang Pu concealed from Huang Dahu, the imperial historian of the prison army, gathered several henchmen, and secretly held a military meeting.

"Then if there are fish caught in the net again, Huang Taiji learns of our whereabouts, what can Zunhua do, and he can't fight it. Liu Yishan asked.

"Don't fight, Zunhua I didn't want to fight from the beginning, first of all, even if the city is very easy to fight, after the fight, with our siege methods, the city wall will definitely be destroyed, and when the Dongyu army arrives, we will surround us, such a big city, we are not enough to defend, it is simply to send to death." "After all, Wang Pu is not a foolish and loyal person, and he will never be willing to die for the country.

"Then how to deal with the aftermath, the emperor will inevitably be held accountable afterwards, and even ask for the guilt, how to give the emperor a reasonable explanation. This is only a long-term consideration, and now there is an imminent near-term worry, as long as this Dongyu team does not learn the one that they encountered before, and stormed our formation, it will be difficult to leave them all, as long as one person is caught, Huang Taiji will soon lead a large army to come, how can we protect ourselves. Lin Changxing said worriedly.

"I plan to choose a high ground with spring water to build a stockade to defend it, as long as the terrain is good enough, even if all the Dongyu army comes, I can be sure to defend it. "

"It's an idea that the owner has been thinking about since then. Lin Changxing asked in surprise.

"From the very beginning, when the emperor issued a secret edict, laying down Zunhua was only good for the old bastard of Shoufu, why did Lao Tzu take the fire for the old king. Wang Pu sneered.

"Isn't the Donglin Party a line, if it can't take Zunhua in time and force the Dongyu to retreat, the Donglin Party will be attacked by political enemies from all walks of life in the future, and the Donglin Party will decline at that time, and the Donglin Party will inevitably be implicated. Lin Changxing said in a cold sweat, he really didn't expect Wang Pu to be so naïve, and he would naively think that he could stay out of such a fierce party struggle.

"That, that's helpless, it's important to save your life, and the rest has to be put aside. Wang Pu listened to Lin Changxing's reminder, and then found that he had been labeled as the Donglin Party, which explained why Han Yi and Wang Zaijin were surprisingly close to him, and were willing to confront the emperor face to face for him. I thought that these two people had good temperaments, but now it seems that they have nothing to do with good temperament at all, they are just the same Donglin Party.

On the 29th, the monarchs and ministers in the Imperial Palace celebrated with crowns, according to the report of the defenders of the city, there was a sudden change in the captives today, and the whole army marched north from the camp, and when they bypassed the capital, they killed many Han people not far from the city wall, showing off their might.

"Han Aiqing, why do you think the captives moved elsewhere? Chongzhen asked excitedly.

"The minister thought that the enemy chief saw that the capital was impregnable, and he knew that he was powerless to shake it, and then the army of the king of Qin from all over the country arrived one after another, but he knew that it was dangerous, and his heart was cowardly, and he wanted to flee north. Han Yijin said.

"What Han Aiqing said is reasonable, Huang Taiji is afraid to flee, Guan Ning's army retreated from the enemy, rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, and ordered Yuan Chonghuan to enter the Beijing platform to play right. Chongzhen said with a smile on his face.

This edict to recruit Yuan Chonghuan to

enter Beijing was transmitted to the garrison of the Guanning Army, and Yuan Chonghuan sighed in his heart: What should come is to come, and this pass cannot be avoided. He can only continue to comfort himself, the emperor does not dare to kill him, because without the containment of the Guan Ning army, the Jingshi may be broken by the captives, then Chongzhen is the second Song Weizong Zhao Ji, since then in the Jin country suffered humiliation, lonely old age.

Yuan Chonghuan did not have the capital to rebel, and Guan Ningjun was able to be controlled by him, but for profit, not loyalty, and each other took what they needed. Yuan Chonghuan said two years ago that he was not ashamed of the five years of Pingliao, Chongzhen's brain was hot, and he actually believed it, and was fooled by Yuan Chonghuan, so he withdrew the supervisors of the Guanning Army, and later recalled the Jinyi Wei secret agent.

Once the feudal town is formed, it is not easy to dismantle it, not only is it difficult for the imperial court to control this military horse, but even Yuan Chonghuan himself feels more and more tricky, it is precisely because he cannot command the Guanning army that he has to trap Mao Wenlong, trying to collect the Dongjiang army for his own use.
