Unfortunately for Zhuzhu, he was caught that night.

He climbed over the top of the mountain, lay down in the grass, and slowly revealed his head. In the valley below the mountain, there were dots of bonfires and tents.

The pillars were lurking, waiting until daylight to count the number of people practicing.

This camp was very large, with more than two thousand bandits and bandits gathered together.

There are also more than a thousand horse thieves. These people are shouting and yelling in drills. They are not Han people. If they are not Mongolian Tatars, then these are Manchus.

Today, more than 800 horse thieves came one after another.

They captured a lot of common people and strong men to work for them. These are the people working inside.

The next day, he had finished eating the yams and berries he had brought with him, and was preparing to leave in the dark.

Suddenly, several people ran over from the front. They were dressed as Han people. They ran to the bushes where Zhuzi was hiding. Zhuzi suddenly appeared and said, "What do you do?"

Those people were so frightened that their legs weakened and they knelt on the ground, kowtowing like they were pounding garlic.

"Mr. Baqi, please forgive me. We are sent by the master to cut grass, and we are not trying to escape."

Zhu Zhu almost didn't laugh. Wen Yan said, "I'm not a Tatar. I'm just passing by. Don't be afraid."

The three people looked up and saw that their faces were full of anger and anger.

One of the scarred men smiled cruelly and said, "Boy, you dare to amuse your grandpa. I'll take off your arm first to see if you still dare to show off in front of your grandpa."

As he said that, he took out a sharp knife from his pocket and made a gesture to pounce on it.

Zhuzhu's face turned pale with fright, and he rolled and crawled away.

A black-faced man next to him scolded, "Black dog, don't cause trouble, run away quickly."

The three men quickly ran over the hill.

Zhuzi was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Who are these people?

My feet were sprained and I lost one of my shoes, so I had to limp back.

Not far away, a group of horse bandits with hunting dogs chased them. Zhuzhu looked at each of them riding a bow, but he was very sensible and did not move, so he was caught.

Zhuzhu was caught by the soldiers on patrol at night, and they thought he was a slave who escaped in the dark. It happened that his Niulu Erzhen Achang A lacked a boy to feed horses, so he was taken directly to the horse pen. As for him, it turned out that he was a slave.

No one cares about whose slave you are. If your slave runs away, it’s because you have no ability. He deserves it if he runs away. Anyway, whoever catches it belongs to him.

From that day on, Zhuzhu began to work day and night, feeding horses, chopping firewood, and cooking big pots of rice. He also had to dig wild vegetables under the supervision of infantrymen, because the rice was for the Manchu masters to eat. As for the bandits who had been recruited

And bandits, they can only drink porridge with wild vegetables and whole grains.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, sitting on the Grand Master's chair was a general with a Chinese-character face, a calm and self-respecting general.

Mel Ezhen---Abdu Bayan

He is sulking.

There was a slave lying on the ground who had been whipped to death by him.

The disastrous defeat of Alimbao angered Mel Ezhen Abdul Bayan.

He is the eldest brother of the Fifth Minister Fei Yingdong and the son of Sorguo, the chief of the Suwan tribe. He is the supreme commander of this infiltration operation.

After the absence of the old Khan, the emperor and his courtiers and the five ministers lost their glory. Huang Taiji began to promote his own people. Many dignitaries in the Tianming Dynasty began to be marginalized.

This infiltration plan is an effort by the old Khan King's team to return to the core of power.

The planner is Li Yongfang, the chief priest of the West Hall who is in charge of intelligence work.

Since Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne last year, he has not been able to fully control the government. The four Baylors faced south and north at the same time, sitting in the government to listen to the government. Huang Taiji urgently needed to establish his authority, and to gain power he needed to increase his reputation. He first gathered the various tribes in Monan Mongolia.

, and then began to plan an attack along the Great Wall. Preparing to enter the border and rob the country to alleviate the severe famine in Liaodong.

Li Yongfang and the five ministers seized the opportunity and proposed a plan to secretly send regular troops to sneak into Jizhen to collect and control bandits and bandits from all walks of life.

These people will secretly clear out some forts at dangerous passes within the Great Wall, control some key roads, and lurk in the form of bandits disguised as outlaws to prepare internal responses for Huang Taiji's attack.

At the same time, Xitang, the intelligence organization under the leadership of Li Yongfang, also sent a large number of spies into Jizhen, contacting unscrupulous businessmen, and smuggling various materials urgently needed by the Qing Dynasty out of the country. Infiltrate and win over civil and military officials, set up an intelligence network, and provide information anytime and anywhere for the upcoming war.

Intelligence support.

The total number of Jianzhou cavalry sneaking in this time is a complete Jia La. Five Niu Lu plus a hundred personal soldiers of Jia La Ezhen Alinzhe. The total is 1,600 people. Including Abdul Bayan's own

There are 500 personal soldiers, and the total strength reaches 2,100. This is a considerable force.

According to the system of the Qing Dynasty at this time, there was one Niu Lu for every three hundred strong men, and there was a Niu Lu Ezhen Commander (Shenzhen); every five Niu Lu had a Jia La, and there was a Jia La Ezhen Commander (Assistant Leader).

Every five Jia La is one Gushan, and Gushan Ezhen is appointed as the commander. Gushan Ezhen is the flag, and Ezhen is also called Erzhen, which means master. Gushan Ezhen is the banner master.

In addition to Ezhen, each Gushan (banner) also has a left and right Mele Ezhen (deputy captain), which means deputy flag master.

Each Gushan Ezhen has a thousand elite soldiers, including 700 red toothed soldiers. There are also 300 more elite white toothed soldiers.

There are actually 500 personal soldiers in Mele'er, all of whom are red soldiers.

He handed over two Niulu and a thousand collected bandits to Alinbao, and asked him to clear out the forts and villages on the transportation thoroughfares outside Zunhua, and depopulate these areas bit by bit in order to conceal the future army.

At first, Alinbao completed his mission smoothly. Unexpectedly, he suffered a big loss at a Baihu Station called Luanshitan three days ago.

More than two hundred of the thousand bandits died, and the rest fled. In the end, only three hundred people were gathered. The two Niulu killed one hundred and fifty people. In addition, they also took fifty cavalry from their own guard.

.

These red-toothed soldiers were all his family members, and fifty of them died at once, which made his heart ache.

The sexton of the West Hall, Fan Wencai (the eldest brother of Fan Wencheng), was clearly seeing his own joke.

This time he was nominally here to cooperate with his work, but in fact he was sent by the emperor to monitor him. The new emperor was not very confident about the old emperor's people.

Alinbao, this idiot, can't do this well. Originally, this Jia La refused to accept his control. They were all from the fourth section of the Yalu River.

He caused dissatisfaction among many people by inserting security guard A Lin. Now that half of Niulu has been lost, he will have to deal with him if he comes back.

I simply asked him to go to Jixian County and hide away with his troops from a distance.

"Akedun, beat the drum and raise the tent"

"cover"

Accompanied by the sound of the war drums, officers above Niu Luzhen hurriedly dressed themselves up and ran towards the tent. In the early Qing Dynasty, the military law was strict, and the three drums were not enough to be executed.
