Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

It's ridiculous that he didn't know it when he died, and he said in vain that Huang Taiji had the ambition to steal Yan Yun to blackmail the emperor, Chongzhen's face turned blue, and he asked why he killed Mao Wenlong, and summoned Man Gui's subordinates to confront him, and several arrows on Man Gui's body were clearly engraved with the word Liaozhen, and all kinds of human and material evidence were presented, but Yuan Chonghuan was speechless, so he was sent to Zhao Prison.

Zu Dashou outside the city heard that Inspector Yuan had been convicted and imprisoned, and immediately led the Guanning army to escape back to Shanhaiguan in a weak heart.

The Guanning army has a place to go, poor Wang Pu's Shenjia battalion can only wait in the field for the storm to come, the captive team in front is not difficult to find, the two thousand Han slaves can not walk fast, and the footprints are clear and easy to identify, until the 29th, it is already visible from afar, and when the distance is closer, Zheng Ya'er can recognize the nightmare Ming army at a glance, and its military array is particularly boxy and distinct, as long as you see it once, you will never forget it. I want to remind Niu Lu to be really careful, but unfortunately it was too late, the two armies were strangled together, this Niu Lu was far from the elite from the previous Tomu Dan department, and he was quickly defeated and half of the escape, and the Shenjia battalion then stepped up in unison to mend the knife against the remnant enemy lying on the ground, and cut a total of one hundred and twenty pieces.

Zheng Ya'er's legs trembled, he had no way to escape, this time he came out on an errand, if he didn't go back like this without doing a good job, with the harsh military law of the Jin country, he would never make an exception for a slave who was as humble as mud, and according to the law, he would also implicate his family, so it was better to die, so that his family could get a pension.

A Shenjia battalion did not accept it at night and found Zheng Ya'er holding a tartar braid, holding a fire gun and about to fire, Zheng Ya'er knelt down in fright, the Ming sergeant was slightly stunned, seeing that this Tartar was so timid, he snorted contemptuously, rode his horse to him and whipped Zheng Ya'er, and scolded: "Don't pretend to be dead, get up for Lao Tzu." "

Zheng Ya'er was taken to a general by this Ming soldier, and with a puff, he knelt down and kowtowed desperately, bluffing Wang Pu.

"You're not a Jurchen, are you, you're a Han?" Wang Pu looked at this well-dressed sturdy man, that pair of rat eyes were smart, he should be a person who could not be seen, the authentic Jurchens were similar to savages, except for a few leaders who did not have such deceitful eyes, which was the extension of experience precipitation.

"Small, villain Zheng Ya'er, I can't remember, my father is gone very early, he was sold as a slave, I can't remember who sold it, it may be my mother. Zheng Ya'er buckled the noose back.

"That's right. Wang Pu didn't know if what this guy said was true or deliberately miserable, and asked, "Why didn't you run away, but stayed." "

"If the villain escapes back, it will also die, and if the adult is willing to give him his life, he will serve the adult. "

Wang Pu nodded, he really needed such a person who was familiar with the people of Dongyu, and he might be able to use it in the future.

What is surprising is that most of the goods escorted by the captives this time are grain, only a small amount of gold and silver, Wang Pu can't help but be very disappointed, and thought that he could make a windfall or something by the way. And the captive Han girl is like a mountain, and it is difficult to say a word, all of them are bucket waists, big heads, which make people cry and laugh, and it takes so much effort to grab some strange shapes and go back.

"My lord, how are these people going to be settled? Liu Yishan asked.

"Divide each of them half a stone of grain and five taels of silver, and tell them to flee to the east for their lives. Wang Pu said.

"It's not proper, it's okay for men, how can these women escape far, they can't escape all kinds of disasters on the way, they are still more than lucky, the official thinks that to send the Buddha to the west, they should be escorted all the way back to Jizhou City. Huang Dahu suddenly spoke.

"Hell, the captives will be killed soon, my life is in danger, where can I care about the lives of others. Wang Pu said angrily.

"Wang moderation, please be cautious, you are a good general of the Ming Dynasty, before you broke the captives twice, the official was originally a change in your opinion, but unexpectedly you are still a warrior, you can't be taught, everyone knows the heart of benevolence, you can be a person. Huang Dahu let loose his words.

"You're crazy, you dead old man, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Wang Pu was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

"You must not leave the people behind, if you are brave enough, you can try, this official has the banner of the king's order, and you can be taken down on the spot. Huang Dahu said angrily.

Wang Pu stared at him with red eyes, his chest rose and fell with murderous intent, as long as he gave an order, he could slaughter this stubborn old man, but when he thought of Chongzhen being famous in the history books for killing officials, and countless commanders and governors died at his hands, the fear in his heart was worse than anger, so he had to give in and said: "Which one are you singing, we have also rescued a large number of people in the southern suburbs of Beijing before, and you have nothing to say about those people who fled for their lives, why didn't you do it this time, you have to escort them to Jizhou, isn't it a whim, and you want to come out of it." "

"This is different, last time the people were all in the same clan and township, even if they encountered gangsters along the way, they could protect themselves, but this time they didn't know each other, how can they be compared. "

Hearing this, Wang Pu was speechless for a while, he looked at Zheng Ya'er who was standing next to him, and had a plan, and said: "Everything must be prioritized, the army of captives is about to be killed, and we need to immediately find a place to build a camp to protect ourselves." These people cannot be sent to the west, that is, to send sheep into the mouth of the tiger, but only to the east, you bring people to escort them, and I will cut off the queen for you. "

When Huang Dahu heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he reluctantly agreed, as a prison army, he had five personal soldiers, plus Zheng Yishan, who had just surrendered, and thirty-three helpers he had temporarily promoted to escort Han slaves, a total of forty people, distributed weapons and good horses, and could also behave, as long as they did not encounter captives, ordinary thieves were not afraid.

Huang Dahu

couldn't believe these thieves who had just surrendered, and selected more than 100 strong men from the crowd, and sent the captured prisoner weapons on the battlefield, there were more than 130 people, Huang Dahu was full of confidence, escorting a large number of women to the east.

Looking at Huang Dahu and

others who were gradually moving away, Wang Pu couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, Zheng Ya'er grew up in the group of captives since he was a child, and he learned the knowledge of the strong and the weak, this kind of person is not reliable, as long as it is profitable, he will inevitably rebel, he persuaded Huang Dahu to bring Zheng Ya'er on the grounds of lack of manpower, if there is any accident on the way, the emperor does not blame him, after all, it is Huang Dahu's own dead end.

According to Zheng Ya'er, Hu Wu is very familiar with the local area, just came in handy, under the guidance of this person, Wang Pu and they first found a small hill, the foot of the mountain flows through a stream, Wang Pu looked around, felt that if the captives cut off the upstream of the stream, their own Shenjia camp will be cut off, this place is not suitable for building a camp, and then found a Jiangxin Island, in the shape of slender fritters parallel to the river bank, this island is about 50 steps closer to the south bank, about 300 steps away from the north bank.

Liu Yishan said that the river may freeze in winter, and then the captives can rush over by stepping on the ice, Wang Pu disagreed, the shape of this island is very conducive to arranging fire, and building an earthen wall on the island, pouring water on the earthen wall in winter, is more difficult to break than the ordinary city wall. After going to the island, there are surprises, this island actually has dozens of acres of fields, planted with spinach, radish and garlic.

Due to the limited number of boats, they were

all small fishing boats requisitioned from the vicinity, and they were transported back and forth overnight, and the personnel and baggage were transported to the island in the early morning of the next day. Wang Pu looked at the rising sun slowly rising from the heart of the river, estimated how many people his Shenjia battalion would lose in this battle, and said in his heart: Even if you win, it is still not worth it. The emperor didn't like him, and he didn't give a reward if he won, so he had to force him to die in the wilderness, if the general Ming army would have been played to death by this unspeakable dog emperor. Fortunately, there are more than 400 firecrackers in the Shenjia battalion, in addition to the three firecracker 100 teams, the cavalry hundred-person team is also equipped with firecrackers, the previous two small battles, the firecrackers were reduced by 75 people, but the firecrackers did not dare to discard this artifact casually, and they had been properly cleaning up the battlefield and leaving only after finding all the points.

As long as

these 400 guns are not lost, the firecrackers are not afraid of attrition, and other arms, such as the artillery hundred-man team, since the ten cannons self-destructed, are no longer useful at this time, and they can be temporarily changed to firecrackers, because this weapon is easy to operate, and does not consume physical strength, and can continue to output damage, as long as it relies on the advantages of the terrain, even if it faces dozens of times the enemy's army, it is not very empty.

Huang Taiji didn't learn that the Shenjia Battalion had gone in the direction of Jizhou until December 1, and he was very surprised, he was actually tricked, but he didn't even touch a single hair in the net he had worked so hard to build. However, now that he knows Wang Pu's location, he is confident that he will be able to kill this person soon, judging from the news coming out of the Nanban capital, Wang Pu is very young, he only served as a guerrilla at the beginning of the year, and he has such a great military exploit in just one year, this person must not stay, Huang Taiji does not even plan to surrender and rebel, he has a dim premonition that this son is extremely dangerous, and must be eliminated at all costs.

After two days of rapid marching, the army rushed to the city of Jizhou, originally thought that the Shenjia battalion would hide in this city, sent people to the city to surrender the letter, and ordered the city generals to hand over Wang Pu and the Shenjia battalion, which can frighten the officials and people of Jizhou City, the

army in front of them is rolling, boundless, where can they resist, the prefect is a wonderful person, a plan, reply to Huang Taiji asked the two sides to send people to negotiate in the city, Huang Taiji sent envoys into the city, and was arranged to change the negotiation place everywhere, and went straight to Jizhou City within two days, the envoy is not stupid, and he understands that this is to make him sure that there is no Shenjia camp in the city。

Huang Taiji couldn't make up his mind for a while, if he attacked the city, he was afraid that the Shenjia Battalion was really not in the city, and he

delayed the time to let Wang Pu run away, and if he didn't attack the city, he was afraid that Wang Pu would cunningly hide the Shenjia Battalion in disguise in the city, and he was deceived again, how could the Great Khan of the dignified Jin State succeed one after another, wouldn't it shake the monarch's prestige.

After thinking about it, Huang Taiji still decided to attack the city, the monarch can not be shaken, this is not a trivial matter, and there is only a strong city in Jizhou nearby, Wang Pu is not hiding in Jizhou, where else can he go, as long as he sends scouts to watch all the cities within a radius of two hundred miles, and does not let Wang Pu escape into Beijing City, even if all the cities within a radius of two hundred miles are opened, Wang Pu must be pulled out, and he must be told to plug his wings and cannot escape.

During the negotiation of the envoys into the city, Huang Taiji stayed patiently under the city of Jizhou for two days,

but he was not idle, took the opportunity to build a large number of siege equipment, and was preparing to order the siege of the city tomorrow, until the scouts spread the net widely, and caught many people who escaped the war, including the Han slaves who were previously rescued by Wang Pu, according to their confessions, the Shenjia battalion broke through the captive team that day and fled south, at first Huang Taiji did not believe it, thinking that this was Wang Pu's old suspicion array, until more and more people were captured in two days, and after torture to extract confessions, all were consistent confessions。

Huang Taiji spread out the map, secretly exclaiming, there is a big river in the south, the army to cross the river may take a lot of time, especially for a time it is difficult to find a large number of boats, Wang Pu if he has crossed the river, it is really impossible to catch up.

"The Great Khan is angry, this river flows from west to east, there is a big lake in the middle, this kind of terrain the west side of the lake must be narrow, the

east side of the downstream lake must be wide, the Ming general Wang Pu is reluctant to seize the batch of property, grain and grass, has been carrying it without abandonment, so much baggage, the river is wide, cross the river for at least three days, and then travel south for two days to reach Yutian County, we send a thousand elite soldiers with two horses from the upstream to cross the river to the south, one day can arrive. Abatai said.

"That makes sense, Abatai, you're getting better at it. Listening to Abatai's words, Huang Taiji calmed down, frowned and paced back and forth, and suddenly realized: "No, Ming General Wang Pu took the goods away, and deliberately wiped the wheels to prevent us from finding him, but why did he go south in front of those Southern Barbarian civilians, so many people watched, and his whereabouts would inevitably be leaked in the end." "

"Yes, we only found the wheel prints from Jizhou in the place of war, so we suspect that Wang Pu is hiding in Jizhou. Dolgon also sensed that it was very suspicious, and that the behavior of the general Wang Pu was unreasonable.

"If Wang Pu wants to escape, he won't bring so many goods, if he doesn't escape, Jizhou City is obviously stronger than Yutian County, and it makes no sense to go to Jizhou but run to Yutian. All kinds of unreasonable, there is only one possibility, he found a better place than Jizhou City, waiting for us to come to the door, so not arrogant. Huang Taiji sneered
