Blood from Daming

Chapter 820

Ms. Chen said: "Third Sister, could it be Third Uncle's family who fought under the banner of the Xue Family Army in Henan?"

Yan Sanniang said, "Sister, you mean Xue Shisan."

Ms. Chen said: "After Jianlu returned to the outside of the pass, Chongzhen rewarded grandfather and father a lot, but transferred father to the Fifth Army Battalion for leisure, while Xue Zong, Xue Jie, and Xue Bo were all employed, and Xue Bo even took over. In my father's old department, Xue Shisan, as the third uncle's adoptive son, will be promoted to the position of Chief Qian."

Yan Sanniang knew that among Xue Zong, Xue Jie, and Xue Bo, except for Xue Jie, Xue Zong and Xue Bo were her husband's deadly enemies, and Emperor Chongzhen supported these people to fight against her husband. Xue Shisan also has prejudices against her husband. The caravan from Hangzhou to Datong was made things difficult by Xue Shisan several times. This is probably the reason why Chongzhen promoted him. Now Xue Shisan has more power in his hands. I don't know what tricks to come up with.

Yan Sanniang said: "Let the secret camp investigate to see if Xue Shisan has severely injured the Wenxiang Sect. Now the main force of the Wenxiang Sect is in Kaifeng Mansion or Runing Mansion."

Ms. Chen said: "The situation in the dark camp in July shows that the Wenxiang Sect has all evacuated from Guide Mansion. Contact Wen Xiang to teach the intention of Wang Haoxian's forces in the south."

Yan Sanniang asked, "Is there any news from sister Xu?"

Ms. Chen said: "Since the main altar of the Mingjiao was destroyed by Lu Xiangsheng and other Qin Wangjun in May, the Mingjiao forces have become more fragmented. It is reported that a group of sister Xu's troops are active in the Lianghuai area, but there has been no news from sister Xu herself. information."

Yan Sanniang thought for a while and said, "Sister, transport a batch of weapons to Huoshan and Lu'an Prefecture to take over Wenxiangjiao, and send General Qiao to Huaihe River, hoping to help sister Xu."

Speaking of Wen Xiang taught Yan Sanniang, she thought of Ni Hongshuang. When Jiang Yang left, Yan Sanniang invited Ms. Chen to visit Ni Hongshuang. Now Ni Hongshuang's mood has stabilized, but the skin on her face and hands is still of different colors, which is quite disfigured. Yan Sanniang and Ms. Chen felt a little sad about the shape of her hands. You must know that Ni Hongshuang is a great beauty. Now that Ni Hongshuang has become like this, Yan Sanniang and Ms. Chen feel guilty for not resolutely leaving the capital at the beginning.

Ni Hongshuang was really happy when she learned that Yuan Chonghuan, the backstage of Zu Dashou, had died. Yan Sanniang and Ms. Chen talked with her for a while, but she could still feel Ni Hongshuang's sadness. Yan Sanniang and Ms. Chen could only comfort her , but for a woman, appearance is even better than life. Only God knows how much Ni Hongshuang can listen to, but Xue Yun, who can give Ni Hongshuang the most peace of mind, is far away. Before leaving, Yan Sanniang and Miss Chen ordered Ni Hongshuang's righteous If you have any needs or requests, just inform Huang Tianjiao, the head of internal affairs.

On the third day of September in the third year of Chongzhen, Xue’s Northern Fleet transported the last batch of materials back to Hangzhou this year. This was after Huang Taiji entered the customs last year. They were plundered from the Jurchen tribe that did not belong to the Xianglan Banner. They were transported four times in total, and the amount was very considerable. However, half of the supplies were counted on Amin's head, so Xue's army's profit was not as good as in previous years.

According to Wen Lao Er, the deputy commander of the fleet who came back, since the beginning of the year, the Xue family army, the Korean army, and the Amin corps have plundered the Jurchen ministries, and half of the Jin country near North Korea has been devastated. If it weren't for Huang Taiji's many gains in Daming Pass, Wen Lao Er doubted whether Jianlu could survive this winter.

After Huang Taiji led the Jianlu ministries back to Shengjing, the leaders of Baylor of each banner saw that their cattle and sheep bannermen had suffered heavy losses, and pointed the finger at Daishan of Dabeile and Amin of Erbeile. It is far away from the North Korean army, and has actively resisted the Xue family army and the North Korean army. It is just that the Xue family army and the North Korean army are haunted, and Daishan is worried about the safety of Shengjing, so he dare not stay away from Shengjing, so he watched the ministries of the Kingdom of Jin being massacred and looted. .

As for Amin Baylor of the Xianglan Banner, which is close to the North Korean border, although they attacked the Xue family army and the North Korean army everywhere, won many victories and captured thousands of weapons and battles, it seems that they did not stop the aggression of the Xue family army and the North Korean army. It was the unprecedented losses of the ministries of the Kingdom of Jin, which had to make the leaders of Baylor of the banners of the Kingdom of Jin suspect that Amin was suspected of having an affair with the Xue family army and the North Korean army.

By the time Wen Lao Er led the Northern Fleet to leave Yizhou, Huang Taiji had already moved Amin to Shengjing. Amin was afraid that he would not be able to return to the Xianglan Banner if he went to Shengjing. In addition to bringing supplies back to Xue Jiajun and Amin, Lu Yaojin also asked Yan Sanniang to allocate more supplies to relieve the officers, soldiers and civilians who fled to North Korea from Dongjiang Town.

Yan Sanniang is angry with the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town who are constantly gathering in North Korea. These people eat Xue's army.Those who drink Xue Jiajun, it is better to think of Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief, who refused to do things honestly with Xue Jiajun, and became a vampire around Xue Jiajun. Yan Sanniang asked Lu Yaojin to send these people to Taiwan Island. As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town, Only a few hundred people went to Taiwan.

Dongjiang Town did not have enough people to go to the Xue Family Army, and the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town who fled to the Xue Family Army camp seemed to have only one goal, which was to come to the Xue Family Army to eat. Yan Sanniang suspected that this was because of the shortage of food and grass in Dongjiang Town. Xue Jiajun was taken advantage of by his scheme of blaming Jiangdong.

However, according to Lu Yaojin's request, Yan Sanniang allocated [-] additional merchant ships to transport relief food supplies to the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town. She was satisfied with the list provided by Xue Jiajun and Amin to the greatest extent. The attack on Xue Jiajun and Amin could happen at any time, Yan Sanniang also allocated [-] grenades and [-] catties of explosives to Lu Yaojin, but told Lu Yaojin that he did not want to go to the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town on Taiwan Island, and Xue Jiajun would not leave. Taken in.

Now Yan Sanniang's headache is that since the Shaanxi Peasant Army's frequent incidents, the trade route from Mizhi, Shaanxi to Datong has been cut off, and the caravan going to Datong from Jiangzhou, Shanxi, because the Shaanxi Peasant Army entered Shanxi and took control of Pingyang Prefecture For the most part, the Hangzhou caravan could only unload their goods in Jiangzhou City, and the biggest economic artery of the Xue family was cut off.

Now that the goods from Liaodong have arrived, Yan Sanniang bought and exchanged a large number of southern goods. These goods are the last batch of goods to be shipped to Datong in Hangzhou. If there is more profit, the profit will come down, but if the guard caravan is less armed, God knows if it will be able to go to Datong Mansion.

Now Yan Sanniang is short of men and horses. On August 29, Xu Sanjie, the generalissimo of Wenxiangjiao, came to Yanjiazhuang, and Yan Sanniang confirmed that the Xue family army who defeated Xu Laoqi in Qi County was Xue Shisan, the general manager of Kaifeng, Henan. Yan Sanniang said that Xue Yun's family has nothing to do with Xue Shisan. Xu Sanjie knew about Xue Yun's relationship with Xue Zong, Xue Bin, and Xue Bo. It was normal for Xue Shisan to bury Xue Yun's account. Yan Sanniang has asked Fourth Uncle Xue and Wang Defa to lead the troops to send a large amount of military supplies to Huoshan and Liu'an Prefecture to deliver to Wenxiangjiao, and Third Sister Xu is satisfied.

Wen Xiangjiao is in a bit of a miserable situation now. Xu Hongru suffered consecutive defeats in Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and his team lost a lot, so he had to flee south and enter the Xincai area of ​​Runing Mansion. With all the flags dying down, Xu Hongru is considering whether to go south to Zhejiang and Jiangxi, or go west to Huguang to seek development without the support of the Wenxiang sect in the south.

Supporting Sanjie Xu to see Yan Sanniang is to encourage Yan Sanniang to revolt. Xu Hongru’s condition is to share the world with Xue Yun. Yan Sanniang’s face turned red and she almost burst out laughing. Never mentioning it again, Yan Sanniang told Sanjie Xu after thinking for a long time that the two sides maintained close contact, and the Xue family army would help if necessary.

When Xu Sanjie left, she praised Yan Sanniang for her beauty, which made Yan Sanniang feel so lonely. She began to wonder if Xu Sanjie had an affair with her husband Xue Yun, but when she thought of Xu Sanjie telling her that the jade girl holy sword, Xu sister was in Fengyang Mansion. San Niang no longer had the heart to guess.

On August 26, Qiao Guoliang, Liu Mandun, Niu San, and Ma Tao ordered 3000 people to go north to Yingtian Mansion, and went to Yangzhou Mansion and Huai'an Mansion to search for Miss Xu, the Holy Sword of the Jade Girl. Yan Sanniang learned that Ms. Xu was in Fengyang Mansion, the central capital. , Immediately sent Song Kui to lead a thousand cavalry to chase after Qiao Guoliang, and after joining forces, they went to Fengyang Mansion together to find sister Xu.

In the end, Yan Sanniang decided to wait for Fourth Uncle Xue to come back to guard Hangzhou. Ji Tianen's musketeers would resolutely wipe out any armed group that dared to reach out to Xue's caravan. Thirty to fifty thousand people is almost like sending to death, Yan Sanniang's heart knot is finally opened.

On the [-]th day of September, the last caravan from Hangzhou to Datong set off this year. Because it was the last trip to Datong Prefecture, there were a lot of merchants in Hangzhou who signed up. The profit is getting less and less. By this year, most of the merchants in Hangzhou will take the Datong Mansion trade route.

There is a shortage of goods from the South in Datong Prefecture, and a large number of goods from the North cannot be shipped to the south, which has caused a sharp increase in the prices of goods from the North and the South. Hangzhou merchants understand that as long as the caravan can reach Datong Prefecture safely, and then bring the North goods back to Hangzhou, One year's loss was earned back, so this time the caravan reached [-] carts, setting a record for the largest number of carts in a Hangzhou caravan.

The Hangzhou caravan alone has more than 600 merchants, staff, bodyguards and drivers. Yan Sanniang sent Ji Tianen's 1000 firearms troops (Ji Tianen forced 9000 firearms troops to protect the safety of Yanjiazhuang) , Feeling that the number of troops is still not enough, Xue Dahan was temporarily transferred to lead Xue Zhuang and Hangzhou Xue Jiajun with [-] people to join, making this caravan reach more than [-] people, just like a huge army.

The Hangzhou caravan marched mightily, entered Runing Prefecture, Henan Province on September [-]th, and began to contact the team of Wenxiangjiao, knowing that Wenxiangjiao had suffered a defeat in Luoshan, and all the people of Wenxiangjiao had retreated After reaching the south of Gwangju, Third Sister Xu, who got up to contact her, advised Ji Tianen not to go any further. Ji Tianen believed that the Henan officers and soldiers dared to break ground on Xue's army, and urged the Hangzhou caravan to continue marching to Gwangju. At this time, Third Sister Xu showed a sly smile.
