Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 585

Hearing Ma Dong's question, the confidant next to him immediately stood up and said in a deep voice to the people in the room:

"Go out to watch the night separately, be careful!"

The guards in the room all bowed and agreed, and there were only Ma Dong and three guards left in the room. The guards stepped forward and lifted the man in front of Ma Dong, and untied the rope that was tied to his leg.

The person who sneaked in finally straightened up, kowtowed a few times to Ma Dong regardless, and said in a crying voice:

"The villain has waited for so long, and finally found someone who can call the shots..."

"Don't talk nonsense first, tell me who you are and what you want to say, otherwise it will be the same to send you to the government now."

Ma Dong scolded angrily, the man trembled all over, and immediately said:
"The young one is General Liu Jin from Zhenqiang Fort."

When the name was announced, several people in the room looked at each other in surprise. Zhenqiang Fort is the gateway at the northern end of Datong Town, the gateway to the north of Datong, and one of the important gateways from Datong Town to the grassland. It's not hard work to be a leader there, so why should such a person come to sue.

"Is there any verification?"

Ma Dong asked in a deep voice, he couldn't be what the other party said his identity was, he always had to show a certificate, the man was even more excited, and said in a trembling voice:

"There is an oiled paper bag under the armpit of the villain's jacket, please take it out here, sir."

A personal soldier went over, searched a few times, frowned and took out an oiled paper bag, put the oiled paper bag in front of Ma Dong and opened it, inside there was a confession and a waist card, all of which were inspected by the general's certificate, the personal soldier, Affirm this statement at the top.

Ma Dong shook his head. What kind of grievance does the leader of the general in Datong Town have? Instead of going to the chief soldier and the supervising army, he sneaked into his mansion in the middle of the night to file a complaint. If you want to push it out and leave it alone, think about what the emperor said in the warm pavilion, and ask:
"What case are you suing?"

The man struggled and kowtowed again, hissing and saying:
"The little one... the little one wants to sue, sue Yu Siqiang, the left guard general who defends Datong, sue him for colluding with the Tartars, sue him for killing the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, sue him for evil intentions..."

The more he spoke, the more shrill his voice became. At the end, a soldier covered his mouth with a handkerchief so as not to disturb the surroundings with too much noise.

Yu Siqiang, the left guard of Datong, the elite troops of Datong Town are all on the west side, and nearly [-] soldiers and horses of Yulin Guard, Weiyuan Guard, Datong Right Guard, Pinglu Guard, and Yunchuan Guard are guarding the west side of Datong Town , because less than three hundred miles to the north on the west side is the city of Guihua, where the golden tent of the Tumed Department is located.As for the defense of the area from Datong City to Zhenqiang Fort, except for the soldiers directly under the general and the deputy general, it is the protection of the Datong Left Guard. Guarding, but in fact, the frontier fortresses of Juqiang Fort and Zhenqiang Fort are all separate systems.

"You colluded with the Tartars, don't lie. Who is Yu Siqiang? He is my great general of Ming Dynasty. He is the youngest son of Lu Wang Yuezhang Yongsheng Bo Yu Yuangang. How could such a noble general do such a rebellious thing? matter."

The guard over there removed the cloth towel from the man's mouth, and the man said in a crying voice:

"My lord, more than 400 people were killed in Qiangbao four years ago, all of them were killed by Yu Siqiang who was killed by Qiandao and led by the Tartars. More than 400 people died..."

Ma Dong frowned, interrupted him and said:

"More than 400 people were killed. The Zhenqiang Fort counted 5000 military and civilians. They rushed in and killed more than 400 people. Why didn't they make a fuss? No one knew about this matter. What kind of loopholes are you making, what kind of mysterious activities are you doing, I will kill you and throw you out."

Ma Dong's tone was cold, and Liu Jin couldn't help shivering when he heard it, and finally calmed down a bit, and began to speak...

It is a tradition in the border town of Datong to deduct military pay. The fortresses in the frontier fortress have to freeze to death and starve to death if they rely on military pay to survive. Going to trade with the Tartars on the grassland can make a lot of money.

Business belongs to business. For the sake of safety, the Tartars should not be too close to the side wall. If they are too close, they will be regarded as a large-scale invasion, and they may cause smoke. Therefore, the rule is that Daming will send them there with chariots and horses, and collect them on the grassland. Pay for the goods.

Grain, salt goods, cavalry, and silk and cotton cloth were transported over and exchanged for furs and livestock. It was a happy business. There were more than a dozen townships in Qiangbao, and whoever went out would get a small fortune, so everyone took turns to go there.

One day four years ago, it was Liu Jin's turn. Liu Jin took everyone's goods and his own goods and went to the north together. This side has nothing to do with such behemoths, it's just doing business with small nearby tribes.

After going out for two days, they unloaded the goods in a water and grassland, and got the money and fur livestock. A group of people returned happily, but met another group of people on the way.

The grassland is vast, but people and horses have to drink water to rest, and there are not many places where they can stop and camp. If you walk along a road, you can almost stop at one place.

There are many Han Chinese in this team, and there are also a few Tartars. They camped by the water. Liu Jin and his group can also see that many of the opponents are well-equipped with weapons and well-trained. I don’t know which family’s soldiers they are. , maybe from Datong Town, but this is not surprising, everyone does business with the Tartars on the grassland, and it is tacit to each other.

Liu Jin and the others made a lot of money this time. The Tartars didn’t have enough livestock, furs, or silver, so they bought and sold gold. Liu Jin and the others suppressed the price, but they can return to Daming to exchange it. I will earn more than [-]% more, and there are laughter and laughter all the way, very happy.

In the water and grass field where they camped at night, two sheep were directly slaughtered and roasted. Although the kumiss on the grassland was sour, it was also wine.

Drinking happily, Liu Jin is also generous here, cut half a piece of sheep, took a few skins of wine, and brought someone over directly, saying that meeting by chance is fate, everyone will eat and drink together.

The men over there were all on guard, but they still took the wine and meat. Among the people who followed Liu Jin, they saw someone they knew acquaintance here, and greeted them with a smile:
"Didn't you follow Zuowei General Yu? Ye came here to do business?"

He just asked casually, but the faces of the other team changed. Liu Jin was drowsy from drinking. He noticed it at the time, said hello, walked a few steps, and then staggered back to his home. On the way back to the camp, a group of people were still there and said carelessly:
"Looking at the colors on the faces of that group of people, they probably don't come to the grassland often..."

Liu Jin couldn't keep water, so he was bloated and dizzy after drinking. He got up to urinate after half an hour of sleep. After walking to the pile of goods, he just unbuttoned his pants when he heard noises in the camp. Called, hurriedly turned around to look, and by the light of the camp fire, saw someone had already rushed in.

There are only two groups of people on the side of Shuibozi, and the Tartars will not come to touch this side. It must be the other side. There are also people on Liu Jin's side who resisted with weapons, but they did not expect that the other party was so strong that they could not resist at all. I can't help it, but Liu Jin also brought more than 400 people out and gradually resisted.

Seeing the situation getting better, Liu Jin was about to go out when he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching. As soon as Liu Jin heard it, he knew that there would be no less than 500 cavalry coming, and more than [-] cavalry appeared in this place. Looking at that side, there must be nothing good, Liu Jin fled to the other side out of his wits.

Fortunately, he went out to relieve himself and hid outside the camp. No one found him. Liu Jin stumbled and ran a few hundred steps. No one could see him, so he found a pit and hid in it.

After the more than 500 Tartar cavalry rushed in, the situation at Shuibozi was even more one-sided. They only heard screams again and again, and they became quiet after a while.

They didn't expect that Liu Jin would have such good luck, not to mention that hundreds of people were killed, and it really didn't matter if one person was missing.

Liu Jin hid in the pit until noon the next day, and only dared to come out when everyone was gone. There was no accident, everyone in the camp was killed.

Seeing such a miserable situation, Liu Jin really couldn't cry, but he gritted his teeth with hatred. This time he came out with him, and his own brother and brother-in-law were among them. They were all killed this time, and they couldn't explain it when they went back. .

Moreover, many people's wounds were hacked to death by someone condescending on the horse. This kind of death is familiar to the generals of the border town. It must be the hands of the Tartars. Besides, on this grassland, there is nothing else Five hundred ride over.

The horses were still here, Liu Jin didn't dare to leave at this time, for fear that the other party would be blocked in front, he found a place to hide and set off tremblingly the next morning.

Liu Jin recalled yesterday's scene, thinking about it, I'm afraid it was the disaster caused by the saying "Left Guard and General Yu". He wanted to go back to Zhenqiang Fort, so many people went out, and he came back alone. He couldn't explain it, so he simply relied on the road to get familiar with the card, and planned to go back at night and take his wife and children to run first.

I never thought that when the front foot entered the house at night, more than a dozen people rushed in with the back foot. Liu Jin fought desperately, and by virtue of his familiarity with the terrain, he alarmed the other soldiers, and he rushed out. The child didn't come out, and the house was set on fire, so he couldn't survive.

Liu Jin hid outside for a few days and wanted to go back to find justice, but he heard rumors that he had colluded with the Tartars on the grassland to swallow the goods, killed everyone who followed him, and came back to pick up his wife and children. He set fire to his own house, and he didn't know where the wealth went.

Inexplicably, it was just a chance encounter on the grassland that caused Liu Jin's family to be ruined and suffered innocent injustice.
