Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 125 Sending troops Ong Niut

When it was close to the second watch, Xiaoying, who was holding a steel knife, suddenly appeared in front of Zhezhe's door, with cold eyebrows, but since it was night, she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The sentinel on guard only asked a question, and immediately recognized her. In Ji Dong's army, who doesn't know Xiaoying, not to mention that there is a death lamp in the courtyard.

As soon as the Ming army on guard asked a question, Xiaoying agreed and started, punching and kicking the two Ming soldiers on guard to the ground.These two guys didn't expect that Xiaoying could attack them, and they didn't dare to fight back at all.

Then Xiaoying flew up, kicked the door open, and broke in with a knife in hand. This was not an assassination in secret, but an open attack.

Xiaoying came directly to Zhezhe's bed. Zhezhe hadn't slept in the first place, and got up immediately when she heard the sound. The woman broke into the door. She already guessed who it was, because she was the only one in Ji Dong's army. I saw a female soldier who was Xiaoying.

"Miss Xiaoying, what are you doing?"

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Xiaoying said without hesitation, stabbing with a snowflake steel knife.

Zhezhe was forced to fight back, and the two women started fighting while they were in the house, clanging, and quickly fought from the house to the courtyard.

The two women's tossing around in the middle of the night had already alarmed the soldiers of the Ming army. There were already many soldiers of the Ming army standing in the courtyard, and the torches shone like daylight.

But the two of them fought, and no one dared to intervene.

Xiaoying ignored it completely, and killed Zhezhe, her rival in love, as a tartar.Since Zhezhe was dependent on others, he just dealt with saving his life and didn't dare to hurt Xiaoying, so he suffered a disadvantage.

After being forced into the yard, Zhezhe staggered and couldn't stand still, and the door opened wide.Seeing the time came, Xiaoying used a trick Lin Yi taught him to stab Zhe Zhe with a volley.

In front of Zhe Zhe, who was blocked by a strong shadow, was Ji Dong. He was wearing a soft jacket and he was not wearing armor. The blade of the snowflake steel knife was about to pierce Ji Dong's body, but it was frozen in front of Ji Dong's chest. It was Ji Dong's hand that had already grasped the back of the steel knife.

"Ah?" Xiaoying cried out in shock when she saw Lin Yi. She thought she had been stabbed.

"have you had enough?"

In front of Ji Dong, Xiao Ying behaved. Even though he saw that Lin Yi blocked the knife for Zhe Zhe, she felt as if a knife had cut her out, but she was not ready to turn against Lin Yi and lose her temper, because in front of Lin Yi, she had already Then I learned to be a woman, a kind of docile and virtuous woman.

Xiaoying saw that Lin Yi was fine, she didn't say a word, she threw the steel knife, turned around and left, Lin Yi didn't say a word, one jumped into her arms from behind, Zhe Zhe felt that it was inconvenient to stay on the spot, and returned to her room , shut the door.

Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi and others were also alarmed. Seeing Lin Yi and Xiaoying being so ambiguous, it was the first time for the two of them to be so openly affectionate in public, and their eyes widened. round.

"Get out of here." Lin Yi said softly, Zhang Hua, Er Hu, He Tao, Wang Qi and other soldiers in the courtyard scattered like birds and beasts, and in the blink of an eye, they were as clean as if they had been swept away.

There were only the two of them left in Nuo Da's courtyard, and Xiaoying in her arms let Lin Yi hug her like this. In the darkness, there were tears of grievance.

"Fool, you're still so self-willed even though you're a big girl. We have nothing. In my heart, Yinger will always come first..." Lin Yi said softly, wiping away her tears.

"Really? You're not fooling me, are you..."

"When did I lie to you, but you almost ruined my event, and I have to punish you tonight."

As Lin Yi said, he hugged Xiaoying domineeringly and went into his room. Xiaoying's tears flowed in her smile...

Zhezhe saw this scene clearly from the window of his room, and couldn't help but her face jumped up enthusiastically. She quickly put her little hand on her chest.

Everything in the courtyard was as quiet as before, and the soldiers on guard came again, but there were four at the door instead of the original two.

Zhezhe quickly turned around and went to the inner room, and returned to his bed...

The next day, it was three poles high, and Lin Yi and Xiaoying left the room. It was as if what happened last night hadn't happened.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Yi took Xiaoying to Zhezhe's room.

"My lord." Zhezhe hurriedly stood up to greet him, and a blessing came.

"Rest well last night, that...Ying'er, she lost her mother since she was a child, and later lost her father. She is used to being unruly and self-willed. I will let her go. Please forgive me for what happened yesterday."

"What an offense." Xiaoying blushed, like a child who made a mistake, and came over to give Zhezhe a hug.

"It's nothing, but Miss Xiaoying's sword skills are really good." Zhezhe smiled.

"I know you let her go, and you must live in harmony in the future. We will set off tomorrow, and we will send out Weng Niute. Happy cooperation!"

After two days of preparation, everything was ready. According to the prior agreement between Lin Yi and Zhezhe, Lin Yi asked Zu Keyong and Wang Jian to stay at the defense line of Xifengkou and Qingziling, leaving 3000 of the 2500 troops for the two of them to prevent the Tartars. incoming.

Both Zu Keyong and Wang Jian originally suggested that Lin Yi bring more soldiers and go deep into the hinterland of the Mongol Tartars.

They were rejected by Lin Yi. Defending the city was a task entrusted to them by the imperial court, and it was also a duty given to them by the commander-in-chief Liu Zhaoji.

Going to Weng Niute, Ji Dong thinks that it is enough to bring 500 elites.

Including Ji Dong's personal guards, he selected 500 iron cavalry, more than 300 of whom were "Guan Ning iron cavalry +" combat strength. Among the more than 300 soldiers, there were 200 muskets, and the rest More than [-] Guanning iron cavalry are dual weapons of bow and arrow and sword.

With enough ammunition, grain, water, and tents and other practical materials, Lin Yi took Xiaoying and Zhezhe, a total of more than 600 riders, more than 100 animals to carry supplies, and more than a dozen large and small vehicles were also pulled by animals. , left Xifengkou, and came to Wengniu Te Wen Niu Te.

Ji Dong had planned this trip for two months, that is, the beginning of spring in the coming year.If they didn't come back after more than two months, it means that something happened to them, and Zu Keyong and Wang Jian should report to the commander-in-chief for a decision.

Zu Keyong and Wang Jian sent Lin Yi away, and sent many people along the way to check for news in time.

It's the first time Lin Yi has been outside the customs since he grew up so big.He believed in the rein of the horse and looked around the prairie in winter. The scenery was also pleasant.

Due to the recent period, the weather was exceptionally good and there was no snowfall.The past green grassland is now covered with yellow grass, but it is still vast and boundless.The yellow grass in the wind swayed in the cold wind.

Lin Yi and the others were all wearing cotton armor, and 500 soldiers of the Ming army lined up on the grassland with the banner of "Lin".

Beside Lin Yi, a Han beauty and a Mongolian girl dotted it. They formed the most beautiful scenery on the grassland in winter.

On the upper reaches of the Liaohe River, at the western end of the Horqin Sandy Land, there is an earthen city in the low hills. This is the Wengniute earthen city in the late Ming Dynasty.

The city wall is not high, about two meters, but relatively wide, all made of adobe, with city gates.The whole Tucheng occupies an area of ​​about 5 square meters.

There are a large number of yurts and adobe houses scattered inside and outside the Tucheng.

This is where more than 3 Ongniud people live together.

About forty miles away from Wengniu Te City, Lin Yi's men stopped going any further. With their backs against the Xiliao River, they found a high ground and set up camp.

Ongniud City Palace.The chief of Ongniud, Bayan Bushar, led his people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. In order to appease and use him to win people's hearts, Huang Taiji also conferred him the title of prince.

But all the border tribes who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, according to regulations, had to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty every year. The tribute was of course some gold and silver jewellery, food, livestock, and of course beautiful women.In addition, according to needs, when the war broke out, they still sent troops to follow the Qing soldiers to fight, and now they have also become a flag of the Qing army. The flag of the Qing Dynasty is flying above the city of Ongniud, and then Wengniu The flag of the special department is used to distinguish it from other tribes.

For every tribe in Mongolia, the more beauties sent to Shengjing every year, of course, the more the better.Now that Huang Taiji's Khan status has been recognized, all ministries are racking their brains to find ways to curry favor with the Qing emperor so as to ensure the interests of their tribes.

Weng Niute started a beauty pageant, dedicated the most beautiful woman to Huang Taiji or his son, and finally chose Zhezhe, the daughter of their tribal chief.

But now Zhezhe has escaped, which caused an uproar in Weng Niute's department.

One must know that escaping marriage is a very serious matter, especially when the marriage has already been settled. Zhezhe has agreed to be a concubine for the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Hauge. When Zhezhe escapes, some people are unwilling to do so.

"My lord, Princess Zhezhe is too headstrong, her wedding is coming soon, how can she do this?" Deputy city lord Cheng Wen Keduo looked dissatisfied.

In the Wengniute Department, Wen Keduo is the most powerful candidate to compete with Bayan Bushar for the tribal chief. He has five brothers and he has three sons. Their family consists of eight generals, all of whom have fame and force .

This time Huang Taiji made Bayan Bushar a prince, he was a little dissatisfied, and only made a small deputy city lord.

The matter of Zhezhe made him see hope and a chance to stand up.

With four brothers, three sons and seven generals, he appeared arrogantly in the palace of Bayan Bushar.

"Hey, I really can't help it!"

Chief Bayan Bouchar sighed, he must know that this matter cannot be finished, Zhe Zhe's matter is not only a matter of his family, but a major event of their entire Ongniud tribe.

If Zhezhe becomes the side Fujin of the crown prince, it will be a great honor for everyone in Weng Niut. Now the cooked duck is about to fly, and this kind of honor will be ruined. Of course, some people are not happy .

First of all, he thought of it, Wen Keduo, who was growing maggots without holes, and sure enough, within three days after they returned to Wengniute City, eight of their masters came to accuse them aggressively.

"What does the prince plan to do with this matter?" Wen Keduo's big face was gloomy, as if he was the master of a chapter, domineering and bossy in front of the city lord prince.

His four brothers and three sons also pouted. They were all fully armed, with all kinds of weapons behind their backs, and they said they could strike at any time if they turned over.

Ali, the eldest son of Bayan Bushar, interjected: "My father was going to shoot this bitch under the horse with an arrow. Unexpectedly, a group of soldiers from the Ming army appeared, and it was Lin Yi who took him away. The father brought him We fought hard, but we were outnumbered, more than 100 brothers were killed or injured, and they were still kidnapped, and my father was about to send troops to rescue him."

"Ali, come on," Wen Keduo's second brother, Hu Che, said disdainfully, "We have all heard that the arrow shot by the prince was the princess' horse. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Escaping marriage is a Capital crime, this shows that the prince wants to protect the princess. The majestic prince can't beat a few Ming soldiers, and let people snatch her away with his eyes. It's not so much a robbery, it's more like a gift with both hands!"

"You?" Ali clenched the knife in his hand angrily.

"Why don't you accept it?" Hu Che said with contempt on his face, "Even if you send troops to rescue her, the princess will become a ruined woman. How can you explain this to His Majesty King Khan?"

"This is our Zhezhe's business, what does it have to do with you?" Bayan Mushar's second son Mulizabu said angrily.

"Second son is wrong to say that!" Wen Keduo, the deputy city lord, took over the words, "It's not your family's private matter for a princess from my department to marry the prince of the Qing Dynasty, it's a major event for our Wengniu special department."

"Don't even talk about it." The city lord Bayan Bushar's old face turned red, "The king will send troops tomorrow, whether it is dead or alive, he must bring Zhezhe back, and then the king will plead guilty to His Majesty King Khan and let him go .”

As soon as Bayan Bushar finished speaking, a Mongolian man outside came in and reported: "Report to the lord, Princess Zhezhe is back..."

I'm afraid I have to talk to His Majesty the Great Qing Khan about this matter. "
