Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 785 Envy
More than [-] riders, rumbling forward, the momentum is not insignificant.

However, seeing that we are getting closer and closer to the Tianshan Mountains, and closer to the pre-planned target, but the forward Yebushou has not encountered a single sentry from the Zhungeer Department, and he has not even seen a nomad. Well, after the news came back, even though the emperor used to be clever, they inevitably had doubts.

Generally speaking, if the Zhungeer Department really had to hide nearby, they would definitely send sentries on the outskirts, so as not to be killed by the Ming army without knowing it.

Judging from the Battle of Hami, the Zhungeer Department is extremely cunning, and it is absolutely impossible for their leaders not to have thought of this, and they will never forget to send out sentries.However, there is nothing here, that is to say, there is basically no possibility of Zhun Geer hiding here!
But they only dared to think about it in their hearts, neither the generals nor Hong Chengchou dared to question the emperor's judgment.

On this day, the army finally reached the outskirts of a pre-selected valley. The army spread out and searched the valley at night.

On the outskirts of the valley, the Ming soldiers who were waiting in full battle were all curious in their hearts, would the Zhungeer Department really be here?
During this period, Hong Chengchou turned his head to look at the profile of Emperor Chongzhen from time to time. Seeing that he was very calm, he couldn't help denying himself: Is it true that Zhun Geerbu really has to hide here?
However, the soldiers of the Ming army who entered the valley quickly sent out a signal that they had not found the Zhungeer tribe, but only found some herdsmen from the Heshuote tribe who were hiding here.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen just said lightly: "The next valley!"

After finishing speaking, he reined in the reins and drove the horse away first.

The army began to rush to the next valley, but they still did not encounter any sentries from the Zhungeer Department along the way. This made Hong Chengchou and other generals unable to help but start to worry again, maybe there was no one again?

Sure enough, there was still no second valley.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou reminded Emperor Chongzhen tactfully on the way to the third valley: "Your Majesty, my minister watched the battle of Hami. The cunning of the Zhungeer slave chieftain is really rare. Such rebellion, The most difficult thing to deal with is, how about I lead Wan Qi away from home, so that if I meet the Jungar sentry, I will be more confident in finding out where he is hiding?"

He didn't explicitly say that there would be no Zhungeer tribe in the valley enclosed by Emperor Chongzhen, but by reminding the emperor of the cunning of the Zhungeer tribe's surprise attack on Hami, and that there were no Zhungeer tribe sentries here, it must be It is far away from the hiding place of the Jungar tribe.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't understand what he meant, looked at him, and just smiled slightly: "Hong Qing, please be safe, don't be impatient, there are still four valleys to explore, just look at it!"

Between words, full of confidence.

In fact, it’s true that you can’t do without self-confidence. It was Baturhui, the king of Zhunge’er tribe, who personally confessed that he wanted to take back all the sentries, and just hid in the valley to reduce the possibility of being followed by the Ming army.

At this time, although Baltu was no longer by Baturhun's side, according to the information fed back from the Class A wiretapping seeds on Baltu's body, and the feedback from the Grade A wiretapping seeds on the sentinel prisoners of the Zhungeer Department released from Hami All the information proves that the Zhungeer tribe is still shrunk in the valley, torturing those other tribes that are still unwilling to surrender.

At this time, Hong Chengchou saw that Emperor Chongzhen was still so confident, so he stopped admonishing him.As a minister, he did not have the consciousness to remonstrate, and he did his duty once he was reminded.

Not beyond his expectation, there is still no such valley.

On the way to the last three valleys, there was still no sign of the Zhungeer sentry, as if they had disappeared, which made people a little suspicious. Could it be that the Zhungeerbu had already gone far away, not in the Tianshan area?
Thinking about it, this possibility is also possible. After all, the Zhungeer tribe's raid on Hami before was a stroke of genius, and the Ming army was caught off guard.However, even so, in the end they didn't get much bargain.From this, they must have understood that today's Ming army is definitely not something they can defeat, so it is reasonable to go far away to avoid the enemy.After the Ming army left, the Tianshan area would still be their sphere of influence. There was no precedent for the Ming army to stay behind in Tianshan.

Thinking of this, more and more generals began to doubt the correctness of the emperor's judgment this time.Many people privately feel that the emperor is just a mortal after all, and even Zhuge Liang sometimes miscalculates.This time, the emperor is afraid that he will miscalculate!

The third valley at the end is getting closer and closer, but I still haven't even seen the ghost of the Zhungeer sentry. Many people are a little relaxed, and I feel that there will be no Zhungeer hiding here.If the emperor hadn't held the battle in person, many people would have thought of stopping and letting Ye Bushuo go and have a look.

…………

Although it is said that Baturhui has withdrawn all the sentries on the grassland, there are still watchouts in the valley itself.No, at the height of the valley mouth, there is a sentry post of the Zhungeer Department.

After so many days, Baltu finally had a duty, which was to be on duty at this guard post with a dozen other accomplices.

At a glance, there is nothing but endless grassland.Days like this, day after day, are, to be honest, extremely boring.You can't gallop your horse wildly on the grassland. For people who are used to running, it's really going to be crazy.But Da Khan has a strict order, no one is allowed to go out, so he can only endure it.

Seeing that Baltu was also coming, a strong accomplice asked Baltu, "I heard that the Ming emperor played polo at Luntai?"

Baltu found a place to sit down, nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Hehe, if you want to play polo, you have to watch us!" The strong man heard this, and suddenly thought, "If our battle this time is not about fighting with swords and guns, but sending people to play polo to decide the outcome , we can definitely beat the Ming army to the bum, and hide here to get moldy!"

This is a good idea, and all the boring sentinels of the Zhungeer Department enthusiastically joined the discussion.

"That's right, playing polo requires riding skills! The Ming army is definitely not as good as us!"

"That's not necessarily true. Aren't those boneless Mongols in the Ming army? Their riding skills are also good."

"Damn it, why are those people so tough when they beat us, they would rather die than surrender?"

"..."

When Baltu saw that they were chatting here, he guessed and said: "Don't say it, I saw it with my own eyes. The Ming army's equipment is very good, and everyone eats and drinks well. If you want to keep this job, you must He risked his life."

Regarding what he said, these people from the Zhungeer tribe had already seen it during the Battle of Hami.Hearing it at this moment, everyone was envious.

Not to mention anything else, the armor alone, the Ming army has a lot of arrows hanging on their bodies, as long as it is not a vital point, they can still fight; and the people of their Zhuanger tribe, as long as they are hit by arrows or guns, they will basically lose their strength. combat effectiveness.

This is the gap in equipment between the two sides, which in turn affects the outcome of the war!

It was the same brawny man who asked Baltu curiously, "By the way, didn't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty go on his own expedition? Have you ever seen the imperial forest army of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming army barracks? Are their equipment more advanced?" sharp?"

After hearing this, Baltu recalled it for a while, and then said a little uncertainly: "It's impossible for me to walk around in the barracks casually, I just saw some when I went in and out. However, the Ming soldiers around the emperor of the Ming Dynasty seem to be all muskets. , just like the ones in Tsarist Russia, the kind that doesn’t need to be lit, and it seems to have a short gun in the waist.”

In the Zhungeer department, Baturhun's guards are the most elite.What these Jungar tribes desire most is to become a member of the Great Khan Guard.Now that the emperor's imperial army of the Central Plains Dynasty is being discussed, they are naturally more interested. When many people were about to ask Baltu for details, suddenly, someone exclaimed: "There is movement!"

Hearing this, the strong man said disapprovingly: "Could it be the fish that slipped through the net from another tribe that didn't have a good eye, and came here?"

It was there before.If they are close to the valley, this side will send people to catch them in; if they are far away and leave, this side will ignore them.

"No, there are no herds, so they came here. It seems that there are more than ten riders."

No herd?This was a bit abnormal, so these people stood up one by one to take a look.

Baltu stared intently for a while, suddenly became a little nervous, and said quickly: "Don't...don't be the Ming army's night refusal, right? They are all wearing the clothes of ordinary herdsmen."

"Impossible!" Hearing this, the strong man said disapprovingly, "Isn't the Ming army all on the side of Luntai? It's so far away from here, so it's possible for them to come here at night!"

The others nodded after hearing this. From the perspective of distance and logic, it is absolutely impossible that the Ming army would not accept them at night.

However, Baltu was caught by the Ming Army at night, and he was familiar with the Ming Army's reconnaissance team at night.

Therefore, the more he watched, the more frightened he became, and he emphasized again: "I feel like, this is probably because the Ming army didn't take it at night, so report to Da Khan quickly, it's not safe here anymore."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care what others thought, he even ran down the stairs, rushing to report to Baturhui.

…………

In the distance, Emperor Chongzhen saw Baltu's conversation through the wiretapping system, and immediately understood that the valley in front was the hiding place of the Zhungeer tribe.

It's really not easy to find this shrinking turtle!

Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, and then issued an order to his left and right: "The Zhungeer Department will hide in the valley in front, and pass on my order. The whole army is on alert and ready to fight."

When the some lazy Ming army officers heard this order, they immediately became energetic. Have they finally found it?

But Hong Chengchou and the other generals didn't take it seriously, don't let the emperor be a little anxious when he saw that there were only the last three left?After all, there is still some way to go to this valley, and I haven't seen the news from Yebushou.

However, although they thought so in their hearts, the decree had been made, no matter whether it was true or not, they had to start preparing for the battle.

Then let's see if there are any shrinking turtles in this valley!
