At this point, he suddenly thought of something, and said to the middle-aged man again: "Could it be that there are not enough Han slaves, and you want to encourage me to go to the Ming Dynasty to catch some?"

In order to encourage the middle-aged man to help him well, he promised that 1% of his output would be given to him. In this way, the more people work, the more output there will be, and the more this middle-aged man will earn.

Therefore, a few years ago, a middle-aged man once told him that the Han people were good at farming and hardworking, and that one of them could stand up to several of us. If we can catch a group of them, our results will definitely be better than others!

After he finished speaking, he saw that the middle-aged man seemed a little embarrassed, so he explained: "I can tell you, his King Long's will is not to go to war, but to implement the New Deal first and run Mubang into my cave. My true territory, this is the credit. As for other thoughts..."

Having said this, the bearded man suddenly felt a little excited again. He squeezed the woman next to him a few times, and then seemed to make up his mind and said: "Well, let's do this. You are familiar with the situation over there in the Ming Dynasty. Find a place with weak defense." , I will give you a thousand men and horses to catch some for me! But you must remember to do this quietly!"

The middle-aged man heard this and knew that he had misunderstood what he meant. In the past, it would have been okay, but now? He showed a wry smile and had to continue to speak to the bearded man: "Sir, this is not what I mean. These are extraordinary times, and we must not anger the court again... Ming Dynasty! Troops are being trained in Kunming. If we go to invade If the news spreads, even if they don't fight us, they will fight us..."

"Why, are you afraid?" The bearded man became a little angry when he heard this, "Inflating the morale of others will destroy your prestige! If the Ming Dynasty really wanted to fight, they would have fought long ago! Besides, if the Ming Dynasty had the ability, why would those chieftains Are you here to curry favor with me? You are such a pig-brained person that you can’t even understand this matter? Get out of here!”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he hesitated to speak, but finally stood up and bowed and said: "That villain, please leave!"

After finishing speaking, he respectfully left the table and exited.

Watching him leave, the bearded man said disdainfully to the beauty in his arms: "These Han people are all in need of punishment. They will only obey you when I am angry!"

The beauty in his arms looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, because she was also a Han Chinese who was plundered. Now, in order to survive and live a better life for his family, he can only entertain people with sex.

"Well, beauty, why do you look like this? Smile!" The bearded man saw it and shouted a little unhappily.

After hearing this, the beauty sighed in her heart. My mother country was not like this in the past. I heard that I could capture Ava and teach Donggo a lesson. At that time, Dongwu's generals did not dare to do anything to the Han people, and they all wanted to annex themselves.

This thought flashed through her mind. She was forcing a smile on her face and was about to talk to cheer her up, when she saw the middle-aged man from earlier come in in panic again.

When the bearded man saw it, he couldn't help but said angrily: "I told you to get out, and why are you still here? Is your skin really itchy?"

"No, sir, there is something big, something big!" The middle-aged man bowed and reported with a look of fear on his face: "The spy sent by the villain to the Ming Dynasty just now came back, which means that the army trained by the country in Kunming has already set off. We’ve arrived at Yongchang Mansion!”

When the bearded man heard this, he frowned slightly, and a trace of panic inevitably flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up from his seat and asked, "What do you mean, are you coming to ask for Mu Bang back?"

"That's not the case!" Although the middle-aged man denied this statement, the worry on his face remained unchanged as he continued, "The Ming Dynasty seems to be reforming the military system of the garrison. It is said that the army was deployed for this matter. . But the villain always feels..."

After hearing what he said, the bearded man was obviously relieved, and his domineering look returned to his face. He sat back in his seat, put his arm around the beauty, and waved his other hand: "This is none of our business, go, go, go." , don’t bother me!”

The middle-aged man sent Seizaku was not professional. After all, he was just Donggo's dog with limited resources. He went to a place as far away as the Ming Dynasty. He took him with him and did some business. He came back only after the transaction was completed. state. Moreover, the transportation of this era is far from comparable to that of later generations, so the news coming back has actually been delayed for a long time.

This time, the middle-aged man did not retreat as he was told. Instead, he knelt on the ground and persuaded with a sincere look on his face: "Sir, I am a Han, so I understand the affairs of the Han. Although I don't know about the Ming Dynasty. What's going on with the reform of the military system of the guard station, but I feel that the Ming Dynasty is plotting against me, Dongwu. Sir, this matter must be handled with caution..."

After hearing this, the bearded man did not get angry, but nodded and said: "It's true, you Han people only understand the Han people. So be it, you send people to inquire again, and report to me if you have any news!"

The reason why he said this was because a few decades ago, a Han named Yue Feng became Dongwu's prime minister, and then encouraged Dongwu to invade the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, it was indeed overwhelming, although the final result of that time was that the Ming army dispatched, defeated Dong Wu, captured Yue Feng, and escorted him to the capital to be tortured. But it allowed the small country of Fanbang to see clearly that the Celestial Kingdom was actually not as powerful as they imagined. It was also because of this that they started to fight for years in the future. When we get to the bottom of it, the traitor’s crime is not small!

The middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the bearded man relent, and quickly retreated to arrange the matter. The bearded man put the matter behind him and continued to eat, drink and have fun!

He didn't know that at this time, there was an army marching on the road not far from Mubang.

The weather in the south is rainy, and the roads in Mubang cannot be compared with those in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. The roads are not only narrow, but also muddy. The movement of vehicles is not as fast as walking.

This army was mostly infantry and did not bring much food and supplies. Under the vigilance of a small number of cavalry, they were all on their way. From their flying flags and their bright red military uniforms, it can be seen that this is a Ming army.

The sound of horse hooves "De De De" resounded on the muddy road. More than a hundred horsemen rushed past and surrounded more than a dozen pedestrians on the official road with lightning speed.

Seeing so many Ming army cavalry appearing in Mubang, these pedestrians were a little surprised and at the same time more panicked. They huddled up and their legs and feet were trembling.

The leader of the cavalry just looked at them expressionlessly and shouted coldly: "Tell me, what are your names! Anyone who hesitates to answer will be killed!"

The man he was facing trembled and replied in a trembling voice: "The villain Liu Pinggui!"

After hearing this, the cavalry leader turned to look at the man beside Liu Pinggui. When the man saw it, he replied in the same panic: "Pull out the villain!"

While talking, they were a little confused as to why these Ming cavalry soldiers were asking this question. Could they be capturing some fugitives? But will the captured fugitives come to Mubang territory? Seems unreasonable!

After hearing this, the cavalry leader stared at Bababa with cold eyes, and then turned his eyes to the third one.

The third man was very panicked. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He froze there. When Liu Pinggui saw it, he quickly said in Dongwu dialect: "This general is asking for your name!"

Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly replied: "\u0026*\u0026%"

Upon hearing this, the cavalry leader gave a signal. The rider next to him stretched out his spear and stabbed the man through. Then he swung it hard and saw the man fell to the ground, covered with blood, just struggling. It stopped moving after a while.

This time, these pedestrians were immediately frightened. A few even became incontinent immediately.

The cavalry leader didn't seem to care at all and turned to stare at the fourth man.

The fourth man panicked, fell to his knees and announced his name in Chinese. When the others saw it, they knelt down involuntarily.

The cavalry leader ignored it and continued to look at the fifth man.

Soon, a total of four of these pedestrians who could not speak Chinese were killed by the cavalry. It was only then that these pedestrians came to their senses and figured out something. Liu Pinggui immediately showed an excited look on his face and said: "General, are you here to kill our people and restore Mu State?"

When the cavalry leader heard this, he saw his excited face again, and his expression suddenly softened a little. However, he did not answer his words. He just waved his hand and said, "Come on, tie them all up."

With panic in their eyes, no one dared to resist, and they were all tied up soon.

Only then did the cavalry leader say to them: "Stay here with peace of mind. Don't try to escape, let alone inform the Dongwu people. The infantry behind will untie you."

After saying that, the cavalry leader ignored them. He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and led his men to continue galloping along the road.

The tied pedestrians looked a little more relaxed until they saw the cavalry disappear from sight. Among them, Liu Pinggui asserted: "Have you seen it? I'm sure that the imperial court has finally sent troops to take back Mubang!"

Ba Baba was a little frightened and said happily: "Fortunately, these Ming soldiers are reasonable people and know that there are more than just Han people in the Ming Dynasty. You don't know, just now I was really worried that they would be angry because the Dongwu people brutalized our Ming people." Please kill me indiscriminately."

"Haha, don't worry, this looks like a regular army of the imperial court, and they will not kill the people of Ming Dynasty indiscriminately!" Liu Pinggui comforted him with a smile after hearing this.

At this time, the court's laws had not completely lost control, and the military's behavior was much better than in the late Ming Dynasty in history. Although it cannot be like the People's Liberation Army of later generations, at least it will not kill the people of Ming Dynasty indiscriminately!

They just chatted and waited until the next morning, when their stomachs growled with hunger, they heard some movement. Turning around to look to the north, I saw groups of Ming army soldiers marching forward, densely packed and continuous, with no end in sight.

The soldiers of the Ming army in front saw these passers-by tied up on the side of the road and there were several corpses beside them, but they didn't take it seriously. Those who needed to hurry kept on going, as if they didn't exist.

"Master, Master, please do well. I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. Let us go. Let us go!" Liu Pinggui greeted quickly.

Ba Baba also begged: "Master Jun, we have been tied up and hungry for a day, please let us go!"

…

No one paid attention to them, all the soldiers were busy on their way,

The muddy road became even muddier, and many people's trouser legs were stained with mud.

Liu Pinggui and others talked for a while, but found that it was useless, so they had to shut up and watch the Ming army infantry passing by. At the beginning, I was a little interested in watching it and would pay attention to the Ming army's uniforms, weapons and morale, etc. But after watching it, I became numb. I was dazzled, so I simply closed my eyes and took a good rest.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a voice sounded: “Are you all asleep?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Pinggui and others immediately opened their eyes and found an officer with a group of people looking at them. Behind them, there were many large cars.

"Sir, please do well. We are the people of the Ming Dynasty. We have been tied up for a day and we have been hungry for a day." Liu Pinggui immediately asked for help.

The officer waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward to untie them.

"You eat something first, bury the person, and then follow the army. Go to the back to push the cart." After the officer finished speaking, he left by himself. What he meant was very clear. These Ming people he met on the road were requisitioned by the army.

Liu Pinggui and others did not dare to object. In fact, they did not want to object. They followed the imperial army to Mubang. They would definitely see the flag of the Ming Dynasty flying above the city of Mubang. They all have a wish to see the fate of the Dongwu people who have been domineering in Mubang these years.

At the same time, far outside Mubang City, a group of cavalry was hiding in the mountains and forests. Looking at Mubang in the distance, they did not notice the arrival of the Ming army. The city gates were wide open, and there were people in the fields outside the city. Farmers are working.

Obviously, the shielding of the cavalry vanguard had an effect. The leader of the cavalry ordered in a low voice: "Everyone, have a good rest. When the infantry arrives, we will have to seize the city gate!"

Each of these cavalrymen was very excited and finally arrived at Mubang City. Those cruel and barbaric Dongwu people, just wash their necks and wait!

But what they didn't expect was that on the top of the city, a middle-aged man was standing next to the guard at the top of the city with a smile on his face and said: "The commander has given instructions. Please be more careful during this time and watch the city carefully." Outside. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. It’s best if the Ming army doesn’t come to attack. If they come to attack, they must not be allowed to capture the city!”

The city guard looked at the middle-aged man with a bit of disdain in his eyes. However, when he heard that he had moved out of the command, he waved his hand impatiently and said as if to ward off flies: "You have many things to do, just find them for us." Trouble. Got it, get out!"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man still had a smile on his face. He seemed to have managed not to retaliate. He respectfully backed away and continued to the next city gate.

He was not doing well in his hometown, but here, although he was lower than Dongwu, he was considered to be below the clan and above others. He didn't want to lose this kind of good life.

Thanks to Ziqing Yurong for the reward!
