lethal arsenal

Chapter 428 National war is immoral

Entering from Dengzhou, passing through the Mongolian tribes, entering the pass from the ancient north entrance, and approaching the capital.

Dengzhoufu is the first gateway.

Now most of Dengzhou has fallen into the hands of Huang Taiji.

General Sun Yuanhua, who was firmly guarding the Liao territory, huddled in a corner of Dengzhou and visited the first line of Xiandeng City in person.

Huang Taiji's 30,000 iron cavalry were pointing directly at them, putting everyone in the entire Northland in danger.

The news had already flown into the temple, and some people advised Yuan Chonghuan to bring elite troops and rush to the rescue at starry night to prevent the situation in the capital from being completely corrupted.

Some people also suggested to defend Gubeikou and let Yuan Chonghuan first defeat Dorgon who was encircling Ji Town and bringing an army of 100,000. Someone else came up with a bad idea and asked Mao Wenlong, who was stationed on Pi Island, to attack the Jin Kingdom's butt. If he attacked, he would be saved, so Huang Taiji's troops had to return to defend the eastern front.

(The news of Yuan Chonghuan's furious execution of Mao Wenlong was deliberately delayed before it flew into Shanhaiguan. Lin Dong was able to learn about it in advance because of Li Ruolian, who was in charge of the Shenwu Army.)

Some people even impeached Yuan Chonghuan for his improper scheduling, which caused the war in the North to spread. He was unable to shoulder his important responsibilities and failed the Holy Heart. He should have handed over the military power to Wen Tao and Wu Lu, and Sun Chuanting, who was behind the general, was in charge of all military affairs in the North.

Anyway, the secrets on Emperor Chongzhen's imperial case are flying like snowflakes.

The Cairen Market that Lin Dongti and Yin Ling'er sneaked away to see was strictly speaking a corner of Huang Taiji's forces in Dengzhou Prefecture.

What he is going to now is Taiping Town on the border of Dengzhou.

Most of the residents in the town are from Jianzhou Jurchen origin, and there are also some gangsters and gangsters who escaped from the Ming Dynasty and wanted to work with Huang Taiji.

People at this time were actually very indifferent to the concept of family and country. Except for a few scholar-bureaucrats, no one cared about the court.

As the folk saying goes, if you have breasts, you are a mother.

Huang Taiji's policy towards the Ming Dynasty emphasized "peace and self-reliance." As long as you are a Han Chinese who defected to the past, he would try his best to reuse you, at least for now, not only to let the folk landlords and gentry see his attitude, but also to do everything possible. Possibly weaken the strength of Mingting.

Every time one more Jianghu sect surrenders or a general of the Ming Dynasty surrenders, the strength increases exponentially.

In the past, before the big war came, Taiping Town had a brief period of prosperity. Smuggling merchants, mainly Shanxi merchants, would rest here and do some business along the way.

A few years ago, when the northwest region was not so chaotic, Northland's burning knives were in short supply here.

It's a pity that when drought and locust plagues come, there will be a shortage of wine and drinks.

Huang Taiji actually started to arrange the layout more than half a year ago, and Shanxi merchants have not been to this town for a long time.

It can be said that all industries are in depression.

Only brothels and taverns are still holding on, and it is better to clear them than to block them. There is a demand for livestock and mules, not to mention people?

Soldiers have to vent, otherwise mutiny will occur.

In addition to salt and iron, Shanxi merchants give the most gifts to young ladies in their annual purchase orders.

He would bring at least two to three hundred pretty women with him on one trip.

The most popular restaurant in Taiping Town is Yongchun Restaurant. The owner of the restaurant is from a wealthy family in the south. He is well-known in the world and is quite a luxurious figure.

Likewise, he is still the powerful general under Huang Taiji.

As early as when Huang Taiji was just one of the four Baylor Lords, presiding over the government as Baylor, the big families in the north and south had collusion with him.

The Jurchens won the Battle of Saarhu, and every year they entered the Liao Dynasty. There were as many aristocratic families secretly connected with the Jin as there were crucian carp crossing the river.

Especially at the time of the apocalypse, when Wang Gongchang exploded and the demon god descended, anyone who knew some Qi-gazing techniques would know that the Great Ming Fire Dragon was exhausted.

If we don't find another way out at this time, are we waiting to perish together with Ming?

There are beautiful women playing and singing in Yongchun Tower all year round.

An interesting thing happened a few days ago. I don’t know how a couple was brought in.

The man was a storyteller, and the woman was playing the pipa. The storyteller only told the story of Nurhaci, who defeated the Jurchen tribes, unified the Jin Kingdom, and suppressed the Hunyuan ancestors in Mount Wutai.

The storytelling is interesting. This couple was rewarded with some money.

The Jurchens at this time were no longer the barbaric tribes they had been in earlier years.

Because of the Shanxi merchants, people gradually became familiar with Han culture, and everyone enjoyed listening to books and operas, as well as fine clothes and delicious food.

It is a last resort to handle bows and horses. As long as there is a good life, who wouldn't enjoy it?

However, the little lady was quite pretty, and she caught the attention of the military men. That night, someone tried to take advantage of them. Maybe it was this white-faced storyteller with tender skin and tender flesh, who also robbed them and ate them together. .

But what shocked people was... a young scholar with a calm look actually beat ten soldiers one by one, giving them a black and blue face.

It's better now, no one will dare to find trouble again for a while.

This evening, the sun was setting.

A group of distinguished drinkers walked into Yongchun Tower.

The four of them, two men and two women, asked for a table by the window on the second floor.

"But it is said that Emperor Taizu was extremely brave. Since he destroyed the Nine Divisions, his realm has been expanding day by day, and he has been using the army for more than thirty years..." As soon as the four of them sat down, blah blah, the storyteller's rich voice started to sound louder than before. came out from Lou Datai.

Lin Dong frowned upon hearing this.

"Is this the spy you set up?"

Lin Dong casually set up a sound-proof barrier with a flick of his hand. It wasn't some advanced magic, it could be done easily by controlling the airflow.

"You may think that his martial arts skills are not of the highest level, but in the past few days, I have figured out the golden soldiers, several large camps with water storage, and the specific location of the grain depot. The next step is Madam Ye Si's method."

The man wearing a short-breasted shirt, with a blue cloth tied around his head, and leggings wrapped around his calves, spoke with a fluent Sichuan accent.

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, still feeling a little uncomfortable.

The man sitting opposite him was none other than Li Ruolian's second clone.

Code name Yi Er.

Sitting next to Li Ruolian was a woman with an extremely coquettish and exaggerated figure, big breasts and wide hips. Her clothes were quite gorgeous, but they were made of rare Shu brocade, which was particularly colorful and eye-catching.

This is the costume of the Miao people. The plump woman has silver bells hanging on her hands and feet. When she raises her hands and feet, she will make a sweet sound like the silver bells.

As for the waist, there is a scimitar hanging.

The tip of the scabbard touches the plump, rounded side, which can be described as a graceful curve.

This woman is the Fourth Lady Ye mentioned by Li Ruolian.

The Five Immortals Sect.

This sect once had its glory. During the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties, it once occupied the entire Dali and was a religious state, ruling the country with religion.

But later I became lonely for some unknown reason.

There is also a rumor that Miaoyi and his wife in Shushan had a disciple named Situ Zhong.

When the group of evil spirits were swept away, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, Baiyue, was eliminated.

Later, this sect came to an end.

In the face of great right and wrong, the Five Immortals Sect placed a heavy bet on Ming Ting.

This time, the Snake Gu Empress and the Witch Gu Saint were dispatched.

Li Ruolian brought this girl here just to poison Huang Taiji's 30,000 elites.

There is no morality in the national war, so Lin Dong was there to support him. In addition, he was looking for opportunities to kill Huang Taiji.

The storyteller below was carefully planned by Li Ruolian, a hidden man in the Jinyi Guards, and a dead soldier.

There are many traitors in this world, such as the owner of Chilong Island and the leader of Mahayana Gongchang Zhenren.

But there are also many hot-blooded and brave spies, and everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do.

Everyone is fighting for their own ideals, whether it is money, power, or family, country, and world. In short, the rivers and lakes intertwined in this way are colorful and gorgeous.

Lin Dong was also fighting for his goals and ideas. For his goal, he went thousands of miles alone to assassinate the king's tent.

The woman noticed Lin Dong's gaze on her, smiled charmingly, and drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

She shook the cup at Lin Dong, her brows full of provocation.
