Before anyone arrived, they heard a chaotic voice: "Dahan, Dahan, something happened."
"Fourth, Amin was captured alive by Mingguo!"
"How come so many people died?"
""
A group of people appeared in the palace, and Huang Taiji's personal guards themselves were in panic and did not stop the group of people at all. Even if they had this intention, it would be of no use at this time.
As soon as Huang Taiji heard the sound, he knew that it was the other big and small Belles who were coming. He was a little strange in his heart as to why these people came together.
When Mang Gurtai saw the situation in the palace, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Fourth brother, Amin has been arrested by the Ming people. Do you still have the time to eat, drink and have fun with these Han dogs here?"
Huang Taiji was very angry after hearing this. I didn't just eat after hearing the news. This third child's mouth will spit wildly. Sooner or later, he will make you look good.
"I have just received the news, and I don't know the specific situation yet. Do any of you know?" After seeing these brothers, Huang Taiji calmed down instead of being panicked just now.[
Duduo shouted: "We were preparing to leave the city for hunting when we met a spy horse reporting the news, so we only got a little bit of news."
Huang Taiji's heart sank after hearing this. You made an appointment to go hunting together. You don't want to do anything wrong! But now is not the time to pursue this matter. He walked to the palace and said to the brothers: "Let's go, Shuo Tuo."
We are almost outside the city, let’s go have a look together.”
Then he walked out first, and those who had just entered followed Huang Taiji out of the palace.
Duduo walked at the end and saw Fan Wencheng standing with his head down on the table, which was filled with chicken, duck and fish meat. He got angry, walked a few steps, and kicked the table, which hit Fan Wencheng.
The legs were blocked.
Fan Wencheng was tall and strong, and was not knocked down by the table, but the dishes on the table fell onto him, staining his pants.
"The brave warriors of Dajin are fighting outside, but you, a Chinese dog, are here eating, drinking and having fun. It's against you!" Duduo kicked and scolded him, feeling a little better, then turned around and walked out of the palace to chase his brothers.
.
Fan Wencheng didn't even dare to fart. He only waited for Duduo to walk out of the palace, then brushed his pants with his hands. Then he rushed out, comforting himself in his heart: I am a scholar, and I am not as knowledgeable as this barbarian.
There is a village near the official road at the west gate of Shengjing. The farmland along both sides of the official road belongs to this village.
At this time of year, the soil has already begun to be plowed and sown. However, due to the limited number of oxen, and each household has obtained many strong Han slaves, many fields are not plowed by oxen, but by a few ragged Han people.
The one in front is pulling the rope, and the one behind is holding the plow, working hard to complete the work that should be done by the plowing oxen.
On a field ridge not far from the official road, there is a back chair with a whip hanging on the armrest of the chair. The Tatar sitting on it is holding a heater in his hand and wearing a dog skin hat. He looks at it from time to time.
There were slaves working in several fields and supervising their work.
In a field near the official road, one of the two men pulling the plow, who was obviously stronger, noticed that his companion seemed a little unable to do his job, and his body seemed a little swaying.
So, he whispered: "Daxuan, be careful. If you really don't have the strength, just pretend. Don't let that Tatar find out. I'll do it."
Tang Daxuan turned his head and glanced at the big man, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Gu."
He was originally a young master from a town in Gyeonggi Province, and together with his elder brother Tang Ao, he was plundered by the Jianbu and brought to Liaodong. The two people, who had never endured hardship, took care of each other on the road and managed to survive to Liaodong.
But after they arrived in Shengjing, they were assigned to different Jianlu men, and they began to live alone. Tang Daxuan was far less adaptable than Gu Mancang, who was under the same Jianlu man. In the days when he had neither enough to eat nor warm clothes,
If it weren’t for the grain and warehouses taking care of me, I might not be able to survive until now.[
"You're welcome. Only by living hard can you return to your loved ones," Gu Mancang replied.
Tang Daxuan was more pessimistic than Gu Mancang. His brother was also plundered and brought to Liaodong. He had to find his brother first and then escape together back to the Ming Dynasty. This was much more difficult than Gu Mancang who could directly escape back to the Ming Dynasty.
This was originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, but now it is in the hands of the barbarians. If you want to escape back to the Ming Dynasty in the pass, this thousand-mile road is basically a road of death.
Tang Daxuan felt a little desperate when he thought about it, and couldn't help but pray in a low voice: "It would be great if Master Wang could come over one day."
When Gu Mancang heard this, he quickly said "hiss", then looked up at the Tatar supervisor, and then whispered: "You don't want your life for speaking so loudly."
The man behind the plow shook his head and said nothing.
While Gu Mancang worked hard to pull the plow, he looked at the ground and whispered: "If Master Wang can fight here, will he be attacked by the Jianlu to the capital? Don't think about those unrealistic things, think of ways to rely on your own
Escape with strength is the only way out."
Tang Daxuan replied in a low voice: "That's right!"
The Han people in Liaodong have basically despaired of the Ming army. Don't explain that the army has never taken the initiative to attack and has not even won a decent victory. No matter how stupid they are, they will not give hope to the Ming army.
Suddenly, they heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance, but no one looked up. Firstly, it would provoke the Tatars' whips, and secondly, they knew it was definitely Jianlu without looking up.
Only the Tatar sitting on the chair was chatting a little and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Suddenly, a "clang" sound came from the field ridge, which made Gu Mancang and Tang Daxuan a little curious. They also heard an "ah" from the person holding the plow behind them. They knew something was wrong and quickly looked up.
They found that the supervisor, Tatar, was looking at the official road in a daze, and did not even notice when the heater in his hand was dropped to the ground.
"Look at the official road." The man holding the plow was called Monkey. He was thin but his voice was loud. He shouted a little louder, but it didn't disturb the Tatar supervisor.
The two of them were a little surprised that the timid monkey dared to make such a loud noise. They turned their heads to look at the official road and found that a Jianlu army was heading towards Shengjing.
A word that had never appeared on the Jianlu army came to everyone's mind: abandoned armor and in a state of disarray.
In their minds, this kind of situation is actually very common, but it should have happened to the Ming army. How it could happen to the Jianlu army now is inconceivable.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a large group of horse hooves was also heard from the city gate. At this time, Gu Mancang, Tang Daxuan and others did not hesitate anymore. Regardless of the possibility of being whipped by the Tatar overseer, they turned to look over.
They saw high-ranking Tatar officials leaving the city. It seemed that the Tatar Khan was leading a group of Baylor and other figures to meet the army.
Tang Daxuan's mood quickly improved when he saw it, and he joked to Gu Mancang in a low voice: "Look at their faces, if you pour a basin of water over them, they will definitely freeze."
Before Gu Mancang could laugh, the monkey behind him burst out laughing first, then immediately realized something was wrong and quickly suppressed it again.
The two groups of Tatars happened to meet on the official road closest to Gu Mancang and the others, allowing Gu Mancang and the others to see more clearly.
A man ran out from the army that came in embarrassment, ran to the slave chief, rolled his saddle off his horse, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
A group of Tatars gathered around, and you and I kept asking questions, and no one was superior or inferior at all.
Tang Daxuan secretly despised him. Barbarians were barbarians after all. They could treat the emperor of a country like a village girl and ask questions.
The person kneeling on the ground was a little dizzy from being asked. He looked at this and that, not knowing whose question to answer first.
In the end, the slave chief Taiji stretched out his hand to stop him, and then asked questions, and the man kneeling on the ground began to answer.
Although they were not very close, monkeys had very good hearing, and the Tatars had no scruples in speaking, so the monkeys could hear some words intermittently.
Gu Mancang knew what the monkey was capable of. He couldn't hear clearly, so he turned around and asked the monkey in a low voice: "What did they say? Tell us quickly."
As soon as Monkey heard what Gu Mancang was saying, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal him not to disturb him, and then continued to listen attentively.
Tang Daxuan and Gu Mancang were very curious, but they didn't know what was going on. They were anxious to rush over and hear why the Jianlu army was in such a mess, and who could make the Jianlu army suffer such heavy losses?
Jianlu didn't stand on the official road for long. The slave chief began to turn back to the city, and the army, except for two people, turned around and headed for a Jianlu military camp far outside the city.
When Tang Daxuan saw this situation, he quickly glanced at the Tatar supervisor and found that the supervisor had come to his senses and went to pick up the heater from the ground.
So he quickly pulled down the grain and filled the warehouse, and then started to pull the plow to cultivate the land.
Tang Daxuan didn't know where the strength came from, and he pulled with extra force. He felt that the plowing speed was much faster.
The Tatar supervisor obviously saw that a few of them were lazy just now. He came over with a whip and beat the three of them. While beating and scolding, it seemed that he vented his unhappiness on them. After a while,
Then he returned to the chair on the bank of the field.
Although the three people were beaten, for them, their mood was completely different from the mood when they were beaten before. They ignored the Tatar supervisor at all, and after he left, they plowed the fields hard.
He lowered his head and asked the monkey behind him in a low voice: "Let me tell you what is going on."
The monkey lowered his head slightly, seeming to be concentrating on holding the plow, but his eyes were glanced at the supervisor Tatar. When he found that the Tatar had not noticed them, he whispered: "These Tatars are stationed in the pass, and only 8,000 people and horses were killed."
There are only a few people left in front of us, and it seems that a person named Amin has died."
"Ah!" When Tang Daxuan heard this, he made a sound.
The sound was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of the Tatar supervisor. In a hurry, he pretended that his feet were crooked, leaned down and touched his feet, and then tried hard to pull the plow, which made the Tatar turn his head back.
Gu Mancang asked in a low voice: "Hey, do you know this Amin?"
"Of course I know. One of the four great Belles of the Tartars is equivalent to the former King of Side by Side. In the Tartar country, he is a figure below one person and above ten thousand people." Tang Daxuan had read books and lived a casual life, so he knew something about it.
A little thing, so I know more.
"When did the Ming Dynasty become so powerful? Monkey, do you know who killed Jianlu?" Gu Mancang asked in a low voice, full of joy.
