"Gone?" When Han Xu heard this, he turned to look outside the door and confirmed with a bit of surprise. Then he immediately stood up and asked nervously, "Where is the money bank?"

"The bank is fine!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xu was obviously relieved. He turned his head to look at Butler Cao, then turned back and frowned and asked, "Why don't you see the law? Is something delayed?"

"When the clerk on duty arrived at the store in the morning, he did not see the shopkeeper. The warehouse in the backyard also said that someone seemed to be looking for the shopkeeper last night, but the details are not clear. This morning, the shopkeeper went to the shopkeeper's house to check, but he was not there either."

The clerks in the warehouse must not leave before time, and it is normal not to know what is going on outside. But the shopkeeper actually left and never returned, and there was no news. This was a bit abnormal.

When Han Xu thought of this, he couldn't help but get a little angry and said: "Let the Fan family and Wang family handle this matter themselves, and nothing will happen to the money bank!"

"Yes, sir." The servant outside the door agreed, and then said a little hesitantly, "But the villain can't get out, and the martial law is strictly enforced outside..."

"Huh?" When Han Xu heard this, he snorted loudly. What happened to the martial law? Can he control the Han mansion? "Won't you sign up for me?"

Before the servant could answer, Butler Cao gave a wry smile and said, "Don't say he can't get out. The same goes for me. I have to stay here for now."

"Ah?" Han Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this.

Butler Cao explained to him: "The emperor has ordered to raise the level of martial law. Except for officials with city defense-related titles, no one else is allowed to go on the streets. If they really want to go on the streets, they must report to the East Factory. My master said, To avoid trouble, forget it and let me stay here."

When Han Xu heard this, he was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he asked, "Did the Jin soldiers almost attack this morning?"

"The city defense is not very good, there are insufficient ordnance, the soldiers lack training, many firearms have explosive chambers, and there are many casualties." Butler Cao replied, "The situation is a bit serious, the emperor is probably worried!"

"Haha, let him mobilize King Qin's army!" Han Xu sneered after hearing this, "That's all, let's do this for now. Over at Yongchang Bank, as long as the money bank is fine. Before the shopkeeper comes back, who is coming? Even the money cannot be taken out of the warehouse..."

"That's okay. I don't dare to go out. Who can go to the Yongchang Bank to withdraw cash at this time." Butler Cao said with a smile after hearing this.

Han Xu nodded after hearing this, then turned to look outside the city and said, "Do you think this golden soldier can get in?"

Outside the city, the Jianlu camp that worried Han Xu had been set up. Huang Taiji was giving orders, while Daishan and Mang Gurtai sat on either side of him and remained silent, apparently acquiescing to his command authority.

"Yue Tuo, I order you to lead five hundred cavalry to the west of the city after dark to feint attack. Remember, your purpose is to attract the attention of the Ming army at the top of the city and prevent them from resting. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" A young Jianlu knelt down on one knee and loudly accepted the order.

Huang Taiji had no expression on his face. He turned to look at the other person and ordered: "Abatai, your troops are in the same situation. When you go to the east of the city, you must harass them day and night so that there will be no peace at the top of the city."

"Yes!" Abatai also accepted the order.

Huang Taiji turned his eyes again and looked at a personal guard: "Where is Obai?"

Upon hearing this, all the Jianlu leaders present were a little surprised. How could a small bodyguard be involved in such an occasion?

Obai didn't know why. He was taking turns on the side. After hearing this, he quickly walked forward, knelt down on one knee, and said with one hand, "I'm here!"

"I order you to take this Khan's military order and go to the cities occupied by Dajin, collect artillery and other ordnance for siege, and rush back day and night without any delay!"

When Ao Bai heard this, he was a little reluctant. He wanted to make military exploits under the capital city. It would be best if he could be the first to rush to the city.

But he didn't dare to disobey the Khan's order, so he had to reply loudly: "Cha!"

After Huang Taiji issued a series of military orders, he stood up and said to everyone: "The rest of the people will do their best to supervise the construction of ladders and shield carts, and fill them with soil. After nightfall, they will act quietly without making any mistakes!"

The Jianlu leaders received the order, responded in unison, and then strode out. They were all very excited, obviously looking forward to what was going to happen next.

When there were only three giants left in the Chinese military tent, Huang Taiji turned to look to the northeast, frowned slightly and said: "What did Azig do? It's been almost two days, and there's not even a reporting person." , haven’t we conquered Changli yet?”

"With the great power of our Jin army, those officials in the Ming Dynasty surrendered one after another. Changli is just a small county, and it must have been captured long ago!" Mang Gurtai replied with a hint of contempt after hearing this.

Daishan nodded after hearing this. Changli was just a small county and there was no Ming army garrison. Azig brought 7,000 soldiers and horses. This was completely killing a chicken with a knife. It was just to buy time. Even if Changli resisted, he could still defeat it in one fell swoop. Down.

Huang Taiji actually thought so too, but now that there was no news, he felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help but analyze to himself: "I have told him that I even asked him to take away part of the rockets and artillery used to attack the city. It stands to reason. He said, in addition to leaving 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to defend the city, the remaining 3,000 Mongolian cavalry should be sent back!"

After hearing this, Daishan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's not practical to expect the Mongols to dismount and attack the city. Anyway, there are many Aha in the camp, and it's the same with them!"

Huang Taiji nodded, turned to look at Mang Gurtai, and said sternly: "After the moat is filled, you are not allowed to attack the city without permission. If you violate it again, military orders are no joke!"

In fact, he wished that Mang Gurtai's reckless temper would flare up again, so that he would have every reason to punish him.

The vaguely condescending reprimand made Mang Gurtai feel very uncomfortable. He looked at Huang Taiji with his eyes open, but he didn't have an attack. He just snorted and turned around to leave.

Huang Taiji watched him striding out, but he smiled contemptuously in his heart. This is what he wanted. Just let the dissatisfaction accumulate in Mang Gurtai's heart, and if you provoke him again, he will definitely do irrational things, and you can take the opportunity to seize his power.

Thinking this, he turned his head and looked to the other side.

When Dai Shan saw Huang Taiji looking over, he asked a little doubtfully: "Why do we have to go to the rear to mobilize artillery and rockets? Looking at the Ming army on the top of the city, not only is their morale low, their training is insufficient, and most of their weapons have explosive chambers. We After a long preparation, we should be able to attack it in one fell swoop, right?"

Huang Taiji had just issued an order, but Daishan knew the importance and did not ask this question. It was not until this moment that he raised it.

"It's always good to be more prepared." Huang Taiji actually agreed with Daishan's statement, but with his cautious character, he still did it.

After hearing this, Daishan frowned and asked, "What about the rear? Doesn't the Emperor of Ming want to cut off our retreat?"
