The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 208 Layout in Mobei
Zhu Lin was overjoyed, and immediately looked at the Jianlu officer on the ground, only to see that the flesh on one side of his face was rolled up, and the blood had dried and turned black. strip.

He turned to Zhao Shichao to confirm: "Have you verified your identity?"

"Return to your lord, there must be no mistake." Zhao Shichao said, "This guy was mingled among ordinary captive soldiers in an attempt to fool him around, but he was identified by Zhang Hongmo, who surrendered before the battle. His subordinates have asked dozens of Jian captive officials to identify him, and they all said it was Ah. Zig."

"Well done!"

Zhu Linmi squatted down, looked at the dark-skinned and slightly thin Jianlu, "Azig? Son of Nurhachi, brother of Dorgon." He nodded thoughtfully, "This is a big fish. "

Shi Lin recalled the quickness with which he slashed Boluo a few days ago, and immediately cupped his hands aside and said, "My lord, are you going to drag this dog tartar out and chop it up?"

At this moment, Azig had regained his strength, and when he heard the words, he immediately struggled and yelled loudly: "Minggou, you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, His Royal Highness the Regent will send an army to wipe out Fujian and slaughter all the southerners!"

Zhu Linmi ignored his barking, but suddenly remembered the locust merchant surnamed Liang captured by Huang Qishou, and an idea immediately popped up in his mind.

He stood up and shook his head at Shi Lin, "Leave this guy's head for now."

However, Azig thought that the threat had worked, and immediately became more arrogant, yelling about "one hundred thousand troops attack the city", "make you slaves for generations", "slaughter the nine clans" and so on.

Zhu Linming winked at Shi Lin impatiently.The latter turned around and grabbed the soil and stuffed it into Azig's mouth, and then raised his legs and stomped on his chest and abdomen. "Yingbeile", who was still invincible just now, immediately curled up on the ground without making a sound.

"Well, one hundred thousand troops attacked the city, wiped out nine clans, and served as slaves for generations. That's right," Zhu Linmi pointed at Azig, who was like a dead dog, with the toe of her boot, and said contemptuously, "I guarantee that these things will come true for you. on the heads of these Tartars, and certainly not for long."

He signaled his soldiers to carry Azig away, and then told Huang Qishou, "Bring me that locust merchant named Liang."

Why didn't you kill that thief again?Huang Qishou was stunned for a moment, but still saluted and said "Yes!", turned around and left the account.

Zhang Jiayu was also very puzzled, and couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, this is..."

Zhu Linmei said in a deep voice: "In recent years, the Jianlu army has been very strong and has rarely been defeated. Therefore, it is so arrogant that it actually fought on multiple fronts in Fujing, Sichuan, Huguang, Mobei and other places, and its forces were extremely scattered. If it weren't for this, What we are going to face this time is not 20 to [-] captives, but a dozen or [-]."

Zhang Jiayu nodded, and his expression became solemn. This time against more than 4 Jianlu, the Longwei Army and Polu Camp have suffered heavy losses. There are 10,000+ Jianlu outside Ruoshan Pass. The result is really unimaginable!
"The Battle of Shanguan was the biggest defeat ever since Jianlu entered the pass." Zhu Linmi continued, "If I'm right, Dorgon has already listed our dynasty as the number one enemy at this time, and he is bound to give his all revenge.

"And the Qing government wanted to gather more troops than Boluo's southward march, so they could only draw troops from Shu and Mobei. The Yilu may make peace with the Xiankou and the Tatars to concentrate their forces against us."

Zhang Jiayu was confused when he heard this, "My lord, I only know that Luhaoge is invading Sichuan, but I haven't heard of any war between him and the Tatars?"

It was only now that Zhu Linmei recalled that in history, the Mongolian Sunite Ministry's rebellion against the Qing took place in the past few months, and the news probably hadn't spread to Jiangnan at this time.

He briefly told Zhang Jiayu that Teng Jisi, who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was dissatisfied with Dorgon's suppression, and led the Sunite tribe to defect to the Khalkha forces in northern Mongolia. The war started around May.

In addition, he also knew that Teng Jisi only lasted until October before he was defeated.Since then, Chahar, Horqin and other places in Mongolia have become the backyard of Jianlu, and there is no thought of resistance anymore, and many soldiers have even been provided to invade the south.

Of course, he couldn't say these things.

He continued: "At present, although our dynasty has all the land in the south of the Yangtze River in name, in fact, only Jiangxi and Fujian have smooth government orders, while Jianlu controls many forces in the entire Jiangbei and Mobei. If they attack south with all their strength, even if we can persist It is possible to live, but under successive years of fighting, the livelihood of the people is bound to decline, and the country will decline."

Zhang Jiayu also frowned when he heard the words, but after a while, his expression relaxed again, and he bowed and said: "The locust merchant Liang has always had close contacts with various forces outside the pass, and the lord just called him here, or he has already planned to manage Mobei. ?”

Zhu Linmei smiled, shook her head and said, "It's not a strategy to go north, but it's just using the 'resources' in my hand to add some obstacles to Dorgon, so that he can't free up his hands to go south."

Before he could continue talking, Huang Qishou took a fat man with a rattail and tied up into the account.

"My lord, the thief Jia Liang Xiuyan brought it here."

Seeing Huang Qishou's respect for the handsome young man in front of him, Liang Xiuyan already guessed his identity.He was self-conscious, bowed his head before anyone could make a move, and shouted: "Cao Min pays homage to the thousand-year-old King Chen."

He has been doing smuggling business both inside and outside the customs for many years, and he is a bit shrewd. He knows that since he can bring himself here, it is something to discuss, so he hurriedly continued: "Caomin is only a businessman, and he is not an enemy of the Heavenly Army. Now I would like to use ten thousand taels of silver to serve the army, only to return to my hometown."

He knelt on the ground and peeked at Zhu Linmi, seeing that her eyes were cold and speechless, he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said: "No, no, Cao Min is willing to donate 5 taels of silver..."

He peeked again, but saw that King Chen's face was still as cold as ice, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to offer 10 taels..."

"To shut up!"

Shi Lin's voice on the side was like thunder, Liang Xiuyan was so frightened that he almost peed, so he quickly lowered his head and stopped making any noise.

"Are you Liang Jiajie's son?" Zhu Linmei asked slowly.

"Yes Yes……"

"Would you like to pay for the great crime of trespassing captives with money?" Zhu Lin said coldly, "Let me just say it straight, how much risk Liang Guest is willing to take to save your life?
"Think about it before you say it. If you make a mistake, you will be killed outside the camp immediately."

Liang Xiuyan was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "My father is only one son, but whatever the Liang family can do, it is up to His Highness to order, and my father will never shirk."

"Well," Zhu Linmi nodded slightly, "I have some things to transport to Mobei, is there a way?"

"Mobei? I don't know what it is?"

"Bows, armor, about four large chariots."

Liang Xiuyan thought for a while, nodded and said, "As long as His Highness lets me live, my father will definitely find a way to satisfy you."

Zhu Linming ignored him, but said: "You just said 10 taels of silver, right?"

Liang Xiuyan gritted his teeth and said, "Within one month, 10 taels will be delivered to His Highness's camp."

"No, these silver coins were exchanged for supplies near Datong according to my instructions, and they were still transported to Mobei."

"Success!" Liang Xiuyan didn't dare to hesitate.

"Your head has been saved temporarily." Zhu Linmi continued, "Did you bring your entourage with you?"

"There are, there are several members of the family who came together," Liang Xiuyan looked at Huang Qishou, "they were all locked up in the camp by this general."

"Choose a reliable one and let him go north to contact Liang Jiabin." Zhu Linmi stood up, "I didn't get a reply after half a month, so I smashed you to sacrifice my fallen soldiers."
