Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 229 Two Decisions

Outside the customs, the left and right wings of the Tumed Department stationed on the grassland are in charge. Guluge and Hang Gao are here, listening to the news from their subordinates.Below them, Niu Luerzhen, the Jianzhou Jurchen, was still sitting.

The subordinate who reported the news had driven his horse into the pass before, and said that the Ming army in the pass had checked and accepted the horses correctly, and had already reported the news to the Governor's Mansion, and he should be released soon.

Hearing this, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.It is the best for the Ming Dynasty to be trustworthy.In the past, they were always worried that the Ming Dynasty would renege on their debts. If so, they would have nothing to do.

Of course, if the Ming Dynasty wanted them to give another thousand war horses, showing that kind of endless blackmail, then they would ignore it.

No matter what, they have tried their best and will report to Liaodong in full.I believe that the Qing emperor would not be willing to let the Ming army blackmail him like this. After all, war horses are very important military supplies.The more the Ming army wants, the stronger their strength will be!

In fact, they have already sent people to Liaodong to report the news.It's just that the Ming Dynasty has a limit of one day to reply, and they can't wait for a reply at all, so they have to deal first.

"It seems that Ming people are still trustworthy!" Gu Luge said with a smile to Hang Gao.

After hearing this, Hang Gao was about to nod in agreement, but Niu Lu Ezhen seemed to have been stepped on a pig's tail, and immediately screamed: "What's the credit? You're not afraid of our Qing Dynasty! Besides, Ming Gou is treacherous." , maybe there will be some conspiracy, is it too early for you to be happy now?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Gu Luge and Hang Gao looked at each other speechlessly and dared not refute.

Thinking about it, there is still no news about this person, and maybe the Ming Kingdom will engage in some other conspiracy.So they waited and watched.

After waiting for a few days, another message came back, saying that the person had been sent to the border, and it was estimated that he would be able to leave the border soon.

This time, Gu Luge and Hang Gao were relieved a lot. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to play some tricks, they wouldn't send people out of the customs, would they?
But Niu Luerzhen still insisted, saying that if he didn't see anyone, Minggou might play tricks, and he must be careful what kind of tricks Minggou uses.

In this regard, Gu Luge and Hang Gao did not dare to disobey, and they were also wary of Ming Guo's deceit.

However, a few days later, someone came back and reported that the Ming Kingdom had notified them that they would be at the gate to pick them up in three days.

When Guluge and Hang Gao heard this, they were very happy, and immediately began to prepare for the pick-up.But Niu Luer was really worried. He said to Gu Lugao and Hang Gao: "Minggou hates us so much, so he will let it back with such kindness? There must be something wrong! Maybe they just took the head... no no no , Cut off the ears and noses and put them back, or, let only some people back, and keep Mr. Turg. If such a thing happens, we must not let it go!"

Gu Luge and Hang Gao couldn't help raising their hearts that had already been let go.However, they themselves understood that if Ming Guo really did this, they would not be able to do anything to Ming Guo by relying on their Tumed Department alone.

On this day, the appointed time has come.These Mongols and Niu Luerzhen came to the pass early and shouted from a distance, asking Ming to release them.

"Daming is a country of etiquette, and it has always been trustworthy. Our Tumote Department is convinced of this. Please let your country release you as soon as possible!"

In order to be able to meet their master safely, even thanks to them thinking of a bright face, they used all the means of language squeeze.

The Ming army on the top of the city obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with them.The city gate was quickly opened, and a group of bald heads were pushed out, like throwing garbage, and pushed outside the city gate.

Turge turned around angrily, staring at the soldiers of the Ming army with hatred in his eyes.I have been on the road these days, and I am half hungry and eating pig food, so I really have no strength.And there is no weapon in hand, so there is no way to fight.Otherwise, I really want to kill a few Ming dogs to vent my anger.

He was thinking about it when suddenly there was a voice from the top of the city. He looked up and recognized Han Leyu from the Hussar Battalion of the Ming Dynasty. Prepare your hands, wait for me to shoot dozens of times, and then shoot the Tartars and report them by decapitating them for military exploits!"

Immediately, Turger saw a lot of Ming army archers exposed on the battlements, and one by one excitedly drew their bows and arrows, and began to aim at them.

When Turge saw it, he was shocked. If he managed to get out and died here, it would be too wronged.

"one two Three……"

On the top of the city, Han Leyu's voice began to sound slowly, and he started counting so quickly.

As a result, Turg did not dare to say a harsh word, turned around and ran away, and at the same time shouted in barbaric language: "Run, the Ming dog is about to shoot us to death!"

The other Jian captives actually had little strength. It can be said that they were retaliated by the Ming army.But when I heard it at this moment, it was like being beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly I was full of strength, running faster than a rabbit, it was like an arrow leaving the string.Even a few Jianlu fell down, rolled forward one by one, got up and continued to run, which really answered a word: rolling and crawling.

"Hahaha..." On top of the city, the Ming army laughed heartily.

After running a stone's throw away, many Jianlu were so tired that they could only breathe out but not breathe in, lying on the ground panting like a dead dog.

The same is true for Turg, lying there, staring at the top of the city, and hammering the grass bitterly, as if there is endless anger that cannot be vented.

"Master Turge, how are you? Are you okay?" Niu Luerzhen arrived on horseback, immediately rolled off his saddle and hurried to help Turger.

Behind him, Gu Luge and Hang Gao also followed quickly, and seeing the bald heads all over the place, they couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.Although he didn't lack any arms or legs, he was bald by the Ming army. This humiliation is too great!

However, neither of them dared to show it. With worried expressions, they also leaned in front of Turg and said, "My lord, it's good that you're fine. It's important to go back and recuperate."

"That's right, Master Turg, it's a blessing for you to be able to do that, let's go back!"

Turge turned to look at them, the unbridled hatred in his eyes startled the two people in front of him.The two of them quickly introduced themselves and said that in order to save Turg, they had thousands of good war horses. They gave them to him immediately without any hesitation.

Turge finally stood up, turned his head to look at the top of the city again, looked at the Ming soldiers in the distance, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "Wait, Ming dog, I will definitely ask you to pay ten times, a hundred times the price !"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and shouted to both of them: "Go back immediately, I have important things to do, you two tribes must cooperate with all your strength. Afterwards, all the spoils will belong to you, and I will also report to the emperor , I give you credit!"

When Gu Luge and Hang Gao heard this, they couldn't help being surprised. What does Gu Shane really mean, is he going to enter the customs for revenge?
I was a little worried in my heart, but also a little curious. I don't know why this Gu Shan'er really thinks he can win, there will be spoils, and he has to give them credit?
On the top of the city, Han Leyu saw the Mongolian Tartars rolling away with the Jian captives surrounded by them. He immediately sneered and gave instructions to the people around him: "Send someone to report to the governor immediately, they have already been released from prison."

Obviously, both inside and outside the customs have their own actions.

But at this time, in Luonan City in the southeast of Shaanxi, Li Zicheng's unit among the thieves has just captured here.Those ordinary thieves are all happily breaking into the house, but their leaders, gathered in the county government office at this time, all of them have very serious faces, and even a few of them can vaguely see a trace of disturbed.

Because, the news about the official army has finally been confirmed.

It is true that the emperor personally went on a military expedition.

What's more important is that money and food were given out to the vassal prince's mansions in various places. It is said that they were exchanged for bank notes and food coupons from the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty.They don't understand the Daming Royal Bank, but they do know one thing, that is, the feudal prince's mansion really pays money and food, and the problem of arrears of payment and food for the frontier troops in various places is solved.And according to the latest news, the governors of the three sides mobilized their troops, even the troops from Gansu to encircle and suppress them.

The situation is extremely grim.

"Damn it, the imperial court still wants to be shameless?" In the silence, Liu Zongmin suddenly cursed, "When did we collude with a pig like King Rui? Damn it, if we meet, it's too late to kill him , to say that we colluded with King Narui, how shameless?"

After scolding here, he looked at Li Zicheng, but he didn't respond; he looked at Li Guo, who also lowered his head; then he looked at others, but none of them responded to him, which made him feel very bored, so he said directly to Li Zicheng: "Brother, do you want me?" No, let's expose the shameless conspiracy of the dog emperor, and frame it on us, so fucking shameless!"

Seeing that the question came to him, Li Zicheng couldn't help sighing, looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "Do you think others don't know? Those who are officials are clear about this kind of thing. However, King Narui has committed suicide now. Who will make the decision for him, who can do nothing to win the emperor? Besides, what can you be angry about, we have done all the rebellion, why do you care about taking the blame?"

Hearing this, Li Guo also said: "These are not important. The important thing is that after the emperor punishes King Na Rui, it will definitely scare the other vassals. I'm sure that the other vassals will obediently hand over their money and food." The problem now is that the troops from all over the country have been stabilized by the government, and the Imperial Forest Army has come to encircle and suppress them, what should we do?"

"Actually, it's more than that." Gao Yigong said with worry on his face, "The frontier brothers who defected here seem to be showing signs of instability. I'm worried that they might... might turn their backs!"

"What?" Liu Zongmin jumped up when he heard it, and said, "Damn it, if you dare to betray me, I will kill them!"

Seeing that he was going to leave, Li Zicheng became a little angry, and shouted sharply: "Stop, what do you want to do? Don't you think it's not troublesome enough now? If you want to go like this, they will turn their backs if they don't! How many sides are there in the army? Brother Jun, don’t you know? If something really happens, there’s no need for the imperial army to encircle and suppress it, we’re all finished!”

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he stood up and asked anxiously: "Then what should we do, let them kill those officials and hand in their names? It's not like they haven't done it before!"

If it was the previous dynasty, as long as this kind of vote was handed over, it might be useful.

However, during this period, even the thieves led by them were recruited by the court many times, and they were still fine.Even Zhang Xianzhong excavated the imperial tomb and was fine.It must be said that the Ming Dynasty was the most tolerant of them in the history of the dynasties.It's just that if the food problem is not solved, recruitment and security measures alone are of no use at all.

Anyway, let me explain that the voting certificate at this time is basically not binding.

In the lobby, it became quiet again. Obviously, at this time, no one could do anything.

After a long while, Yuan Zongdi suddenly suggested: "Now the frontier army of Qin is coming to encircle and suppress us. This is a certainty. It is not something we can resist at present. As for the emperor's personal conquest, I think it is more important." Will go to Huanghu. Or, let's go to Henan?"

Huang Hu is Zhang Xianzhong's nickname.As far as the current momentum is concerned, Zhang Xianzhong's momentum is the strongest.

When Yuan Zongdi said this, it was obvious that he didn't want to go back to Shangluo Mountain.However, Gao Yingxiang and others were all suppressed by Qin's frontier army, and how many times they were surrounded and suppressed by Qin's soldiers. The lesson is also profound.If you fight hard head-on, you will definitely not be able to defeat the frontier army of Qin.

Hearing Yuan Zongdi's words, Gao Yigong thought for a while, and then said: "I agree, if we can fight Qin Bing here, first of all, we can't fight, and we have to guard against changes in the army. It's better to stay away." Qin Di, the army might be able to settle down."

After hearing this, Li Zicheng didn't immediately agree, but lowered his head and thought hard.

Li Guo looked up at his uncle, then at the other people present, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the emperor's imperial conquest came with food. If this is the case, it may be difficult for us. Who dares to rebel if they have something to eat? Even if we force them, believe it or not, they can run back and betray us by the way!"

That is to say, in the past, after they coerced the people, those people had no way of turning back.Because I can't go back, there is no food to go back, and the government will not provide disaster relief, so I can only starve to death.But Li Guo also said that the situation is different now, and even coercion has become a problem.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Zicheng asked, frowning at his nephew.

The others also looked at him. The situation was so difficult that they all thought that a tiger could come up with a good solution.

"Either..." Li Guo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Either we accept the imperial court's offer, at least we still have a way to survive!"

"What?" Liu Zongmin jumped up and shouted when he heard it, "A tiger, you are a fucking cat, you are crazy to give your life to those officials and lords?"

Speaking of which, Li Zicheng's lineage really didn't surrender to the imperial court very much, even if Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, they hid in Shangluo Mountain.

Li Guo was not angry when Liu Zongmin scolded him, but he just explained: "You see, even Huang Hu can be recruited, it has been a year, isn't the court ignoring him! Now the emperor's imperial conquest, the situation is so critical, you Do you think we can still carve out a piece of the sky?"

"Didn't the yellow tiger still rebel!" Liu Zongmin immediately retorted, "Damn it, I'm used to it, even if those dog officials don't embarrass us anymore, I'm not used to the old days!"

When Li Guo heard it, he wanted to say more, but Li Zicheng spoke first: "Okay, this matter is over, don't talk about it anymore. I think Brother Yuan is right, why don't you go to Henan!"

The policy of "equalizing the land and exempting taxation" proposed by him was very effective, which gave him some confidence.Therefore, he felt that if he went to Henan, he might have a chance to grow stronger and thus have the strength to resist the imperial court.

As Liu Zongmin said, he is used to being a big brother, but now he can put down his sword and gun to hold a hoe, or be controlled as a petty official, he really doesn't like him anymore.And hiding in Shangluo Mountain to live a hard life, he is not reconciled.Therefore, there is only one way to try.

But there is still a hidden worry. I don't know where the emperor is, so don't bump into it.Li Zicheng thought so in his heart, so he decided to send vanguards to test more, and the main force should be more careful.

The other people in the lobby saw that Li Zicheng had made a decision, and they only followed Li Zicheng's lead, so they naturally had to prepare.

On the grassland, after a day's delay, Turg also announced his decision.
