East Factory Governor

Chapter 761 Captured a Han official

Let's say that after entering the city, all the generals gathered together to summarize the results of the battle and discuss gains and losses.

Li Jingting said inadvertently, "By the way, there is a Han official in the Tatars, Fan Wencheng, who was also arrested by us this time."

Qin Shuhuai smiled immediately, "Fan Wencheng? Hehe, where is Huang Taiji's senior ginseng!"

"Does the Duke want to meet this big traitor?"

"Of course I will. Bring him in."

Not long after, Fan Wencheng with a rattail on the back of his head was brought in.

The boy's face was pale and his body trembled slightly, but he put on a dignified look.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "Are you Fan Wencheng?"

Fan Wencheng twisted his neck and said, "Since you know it, why bother to ask again? The winner and the loser, today it's in your hands to kill and cut. Why do you say so much?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, "You have quite a backbone. If you have such a backbone, why do you want to be a traitor and help the tyrant?"

Lai San'er also added, "That's right! The Tartars have killed so many Han people, and you bastard still go to help him, it's like a pig and a dog!"

But I don't want Fan Wencheng to sneer and say, "Hehe, why are you being a traitor? Then I will tell you that my family has lived in Liaodong for generations. After the fall of Liaodong, did the imperial court take care of us? The imperial court doesn't care about us, do we have to find our own way of life? I will help you The Tartars are right, but I told him to kill less Han people, and persuaded him to follow the policy of the Manchu family. Do you know how many Han people have survived because of this? I think I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I have a clear conscience!"

Those words left everyone speechless.

Nima looks so reasonable!
Even Lai San'er, who is the best at cursing people, didn't know how to refute for a while, so he skipped the topic and cursed, "Oh, I'm still stubborn now! I'm not going to peel your skin off!"

As he said that, he grabbed Fan Wencheng's braid and pulled it out. It seemed that General Lai was going to take action himself.

Can he not be angry?From the 2nd year of Chongzhen to the present, how many brothers in his Baihutang died under the knife of the Tartars?It would be great to have one-fifth of the old people in the church back then!
"Lai San'er, wait a minute." Qin Shuhuai said, "Fan Wencheng, you said that you are helping the Tartars because you want to fight for the survival of the Han people in Liaodong? Then you don't care about the life and death of the Han people in the pass? When Huang Taiji went south for the second time, When there was a shortage of food, you were the one who suggested collecting food from the area north of Ji Town? Do you know how many Han people died because of you?"

Fan Wencheng was startled, speechless for a moment.

"I'll ask you again. I almost trapped Huang Taiji to death in Hengling back then. Since you wanted to fight for the survival of the Han people, why did you offer advice to help him escape? You know that as long as the whole army of Huang Taiji is wiped out in that battle, the Tartars will survive for at least ten years." Don’t dare to go south, at least more than [-] soldiers and civilians can avoid being slaughtered?”

Qin Shuhuai's tone became more and more serious, and he raised his voice and said, "Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, and this Northern Expedition is unstoppable. If you really want to fight for the survival of the Han people, why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the Ming Dynasty, and help the court to wipe out the Tartars as soon as possible, and return the greater power of the Han people in Eastern Liaodong?" A way to survive? But what about you? You continue to work for tigers, and you come up with this poisonous plan to trap officials and soldiers to death! How poisonous are you, a Han thief, that you are a high-ranking official and rich in salary, and you dare to pretend to be the one who saves the Han people?"

The questioning made Fan Wencheng tremble even more, and the cold sweat fell down!

"I, I..." He murmured weakly, but he could no longer think of sophistry.

He originally thought that he was talented, but he heard that Qin Shuhuai valued talented people very much. He even recruited Li Dingguo, a bandit from the three sides, and was promoted to the commander of the first army. With his tongue-in-cheek excuse, he might still be able to work for Qin Shuhuai.

But he was wrong.

Qin Shuhuai can appoint rogues regardless of previous suspicions, but he will never appoint established traitors.

At this time, Lai San'er said again, "Bangzhu, what are you talking about with him, I dragged him to peel his skin, cramped his tendons, and cut open his chest to see what color his heart is! "

Fan Wencheng has completely collapsed, and the "strength of character" that was originally strong has long since disappeared.

"Grandfather, please spare me! I, I am very familiar with the defense of the Tartars, I can make amends and help the Lord suppress the Tartars! Please be merciful, Lord, be merciful!"

Qin Shuhuai sneered, "So what if the Tartars don't know how to defend me? I have fought in the north and south for many years, have you ever heard that I was once defeated? Now that there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, do you know what it means to be unstoppable? ? It is the destiny to exterminate the Tartars, and I don’t need you to wait for traitors to come and give advice!”

"My lord, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare my life!" Fan Wencheng kowtowed like a onion, and cried while talking.

People who only want to be rich and famous are more reluctant to die than ordinary people.

"Okay!" Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "I will spare your life. Someone, please pull him out first."

Fan Wencheng never expected the reversal to come so quickly, and after being stunned for a while, he immediately thanked Qin Shuhuai a thousand times.

When he got outside, he was still shouting, "Thank you, Lord Guo, for not killing me."

Lai San'er was in a hurry, "Master, how can this be done?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Why not? Back then, it would be interesting to tattoo the word 'traitor' on his forehead, engrave the words 'Huangtaiji bastard' on his face, cut off his nose, and then return it to the Tartars. "

The generals immediately burst out laughing.

Interesting, indeed interesting!
Two consecutive battles made the soldiers extremely tired, so Qin Shuhuai ordered the whole army to rest.

The important task during the rest period is naturally to find out the deployment of the Tartars' second line of defense.

This is not difficult, because there are only a few strategically important places for the Tartars, you just need to touch them to know, and Qin Shuhuai and the White Lotus Sect also receive a steady stream of information every day.

After resting for seven days, the Tazi's second line of defense was basically cleared up.

That is the second line of defense with Ashniulu, the gateway to Shenyang, Kaesong, an important town in the west of Shenyang, and Huangniwa Fort 60 miles east of Ashniulu as the main strongholds.

If Huang Taiji hadn't put all his eggs in one basket, then he should have kept at least [-] to [-] forbidden troops near Shenyang City, so he might only have about [-] troops on the second line of defense.

Of course, he still has a lot of soldiers, but these soldiers can be ignored. On the one hand, because the Tartars are in short supply of iron, many of these soldiers may not even have weapons; A large proportion, you expect them to fight the Ming army?Simply hilarious.

After confirming, Qin Shuhuai considered that there were only 11 soldiers left in the Northern Expedition. This time, instead of dividing into three groups, Qin Shuhuai divided into two groups first.

Along the way, Zhao led [-] soldiers, and Li Dingguo was the deputy commander. They attacked Kaesong to the west of Shenyang City and cut off Huang Taiji's inescapable route.

The other army of [-] was led by Qin Shuhuai, and they directly attacked the Shenyang portal Ashniulu, forcing the Tartars to send heavy troops to fight the Ming army here—once Ashniulu was lost, they would be able to move forward until Shenyang. There is no big city to defend, so the strategic position here is equivalent to the Shanhaiguan Pass of Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Tartars not to defend it.
