Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

In the end, Horqin didn't get any benefits, and suffered heavy casualties.

And what about Xuanzhen?Since taking refuge in Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen has treated Horqin surprisingly well. Among other things, the construction of Horqin City alone will throw Huang Taiji away by an unknown distance.

Although Horqin spent the money to build Horqin City, at least they also repaired it.If this kind of thing was placed on Huang Taiji, would he build it?

What's more, after taking refuge in Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen procured Horqin's war horses, cattle and sheep, and all kinds of fur in large quantities, and I don't know how much benefit it has brought to Horqin every year.I don't know how many herdsmen have been brought livelihood, and how many herdsmen have been supported.

Since taking refuge in Xuanzhen, more and more new children have been born in the Horqin Department in recent years, and with children there is a future.Xuanzhen even reserved some places for children from the Horqin tribe in the elementary and middle schools set up in Xuanzhen, allowing them to enter the school and get rid of illiteracy.

Today's Horqin no longer has to fight and kill on the grassland for the sake of living space, and can earn a lot of money just by providing war horses for Xuanzhen.

With silver, you can purchase a series of daily necessities such as grain, salt, tea, etc. in Xuan Town, and you can even buy iron pots that were banned from being sold to grasslands by the imperial court.

Now the Horqin tribe has become more and more fond of this way of life, and the scene of working desperately with other tribes for a little living supplies is gone forever.

After all, no one likes to fight with others from birth. If it is not to solve the problem of eating, who would like to fight to the death with others?Now you can live well without fighting, so why do you still have to fight?Wouldn't it be nice to earn money to support the family safely?

What was the purpose of the Alda soldiers besieging the capital?Isn't it just to allow the imperial court to open a few more places to trade with the grassland?

Now that this wish has come true, what is the fight?

Moreover, when Horqin took refuge in Xuan Town and was able to buy a large amount of materials needed for the grassland from Xuan Town, the status of the Horqin tribe on the grassland gradually rose.

Although the tribes on the prairie did not bow down to Horqin on the surface, which of these tribes on the prairie would not respectfully call Borzigit Khan when they saw Buhe?

Even those tribes who had enmity with Horqin personally went to Horqin to apologize to Borzigit Khan, hoping that Buhe could help sell their tribe's cattle and sheep to Xuan Town.

Now the grassland is covered with heavy snow. If it were in the past, I don’t know how many cattle and sheep would be frozen to death, and I don’t know how many herdsmen would be frozen to death.

But with the existence of this Horqin city, the Horqin tribe can safely spend this winter.

These things were brought by Xuan Zhen, not by Huang Taiji.

Now Fan Wencheng suddenly appeared on the grassland, which immediately aroused Buhe's vigilance.

He was afraid that the scheming fat man would alienate his relationship with Xuan Zhen, so when Fan Wencheng was just caught, Bu He sent Fan Wencheng to jail.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, just tell me quickly, what is your purpose for coming to the grassland? What does Huang Taiji want you to do?" Wu Keshan's face gradually became gloomy.

The scars on Fan Wencheng's body were still oozing blood. Although several braziers were placed in the cell, the temperature in the cell was still very low.

Fan Wencheng was stripped so that only his shirt was left, and he was hanging on the cold wall, trembling non-stop.

Fan Wencheng looked at Wu Keshan's cold expression, but never spoke.

"Don't say it, hehe, I didn't expect you, Huang Taiji's dog, to be so loyal. Since you don't say it, don't blame me." Wu Keshan sneered, looking at the big man who was interrogating Fan Wencheng beside him, "will All the braziers in the cell were removed, and a hole the size of a fist was cut on the wall behind Fan Wencheng's waist for me.

Now that it's snowing heavily outside, I want to see if it's his mouth that's hard or the wind and snow outside! "

After Wu Keshan finished speaking, someone brought a chair and sat in front of Fan Wencheng.

At the same time, several big men walked towards Fan Wencheng with hammers and chisels.

Outside the wall where Fan Wencheng was hung was the courtyard of the cell. Although there was a wall around the courtyard to block it, the wind and snow were still heavy.

A few quarters of an hour later, a hole the size of a fist appeared on the wall.

As soon as the hole was dug open, the strong wind from outside rushed in with snowflakes.

Fan Wencheng was also hung on the wall again, with the waist of his back pointed at the hole.

As soon as it was hung on the wall again, Fan Wencheng felt the cold rush towards his waist like a knife.

Although this cold air is not as sharp as a knife, it is more uncomfortable and painful to cut a person's body than to cut with a knife.

It didn't take long for Fan Wencheng to lose feeling in his legs, and he became incontinent.

"I said, I said, I can say everything!" Fan Wencheng couldn't bear it anymore, and he said weakly to Wu Keshan.

Wu Keshan pointed to Fan Wencheng, "Block the hole behind him."

Saying that, the big man interrogating Fan Wencheng in the cell blocked the hole behind Fan Wencheng again.

"Tell me!" Wu Keshan looked at Fan Wencheng who looked a little better, and asked.

After the terrible feeling just now, Fan Wencheng said everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Wu Keshan sat quietly in front of Fan Wencheng, listening to Fan Wencheng's voice, a trace of sarcasm gradually appeared on his face.

When Fan Wencheng said everything, Wu Keshan burst out laughing.

"Haha, Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, doesn't he often say that he is a character like Zhuge Liang? Why is he so stupid now? He still wants to win over Mr. Zongbing? It's just a dream."

After a while, Wu Keshan put away his smile and looked at the big man who was interrogating Fan Wencheng in the cell, "Give him some good food for the past few days, and treat his injuries in time. I will give this Fan Wencheng to the Chief Soldier, so that the Chief Soldier My lord loses."

"Obey!" The big man in the cell shouted loudly at Wu Keshan.

Wu Keshan waved his hand, then turned and left.

After leaving the cell, Wu Keshan led more than 100 soldiers towards the place Fan Wencheng said was hiding Huang Taiji and asked him to bring it to Zhao Wen.

Not long after, Wu Keshan stopped in a bush covered with heavy snow.

Wu Keshan looked at the gradually darkening sky, and shouted loudly: "Search for me!"

When Wu Keshan gave an order, all the soldiers behind him jumped off their horses and began to search the bushes.

Not long after, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier suddenly found a long and beautifully decorated box from a snowdrift.

"Taiji!" The soldier hurried to Wu Keshan with the box.

Wu Keshan took the box and immediately recognized that it was the box used by Huang Taiji to hold his imperial decree.

There are several such boxes in the Horqin tribe, and they were the imperial decree issued by Huang Taiji before Horqin took refuge in Xuanzhen.

Wu Keshan looked at the perfect sealant on the box, and filled it with excitement.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to be hidden here. Brothers, keep searching. Anyone who finds it will be rewarded!"

Wu Keshan's voice pierced the hearts of these soldiers, and they quickly searched the snow.

Before it was completely dark, Wu Keshan took the things he found and headed towards Horqin City.

Not long after leaving, Daxue covered up all the traces of Wu Keshan and others' search.

At the same time, Huang Taiji stood at the door of the imperial study room of the pseudo-imperial palace in Shengjing, watching the heavy snow falling from the sky.

"I don't know if Fan Aiqing has arrived. I think it should be not far from Xuanzhen." Huang Taiji sighed, feeling a little worried.

"Big Khan, even if we don't arrive soon!" Ning Wanwo stood hunched over behind Huang Taiji and said flatteringly.

"Let's not talk about it now, how much food is left in the city?" Huang Taiji looked at Ning Wan and me, and said worriedly.

After Ning Wan, my face suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Huang Taiji with some fear, "Khan, there is only one month left."

"Only one month left? I remember that there is still a lot of food? Why is there only so little left?" Huang Taiji looked surprised.

Before winter began, Huang Taiji personally sent someone to count the grain in the city. According to the statistics at that time, there was no problem at all in getting through this winter.

But how long has it been? Why is there only one month left?

"Khan, this year's weather is extremely cold, the heavy snow is falling non-stop, and there are many disaster-stricken places inside and outside the city, so the food consumption is fast." Ning Wan, I was afraid of offending Huang Taiji, and said cautiously .

Listening to Ning Wan's voice, Huang Taiji didn't answer, and looked worriedly at the heavy snow in the sky.

Now he only hopes that the heavy snow will stop as soon as possible, otherwise, with the remaining food, he will not be able to survive this winter at all.

Chapter 425 Start to Divide the Troops

The heavy snow is still falling, and the whole grassland is a piece of white.

After Wu Keshan got what Fan Wencheng brought, he led Fan Wencheng and others towards Xuanzhen.

Today's Horqin tribe has become Zhao Wen's most solid subordinate, so after getting the things Fan Wencheng carried, Bu He asked Wu Keshan to escort Fan Wencheng and all the things they found to Xuanzhen.

The winter is bitter and the snow is constantly heavy. The official roads of this era are very difficult to walk because there is no one to clear the heavy snow on them.

Zhao Wen was riding on a war horse, and his body was covered with heavy snow.

He looked at the gradually darkening sky, and said to Guo Yi beside him: "It will be dark in less than an hour, let's come here today, let's set up camp first. The road is difficult, and the marching speed of the army will inevitably be dragged down." .”

Guo Yi bowed his hands to Zhao Wen, and then passed on Zhao Wen's order.

Not long after, the taxis of the pro-guard camp began to camp in the snow.

Because it was winter, the soil on the ground was frozen, so the speed of camping was very slow.

The place where Zhao Wen is now is a place called Lengquankou, not far from Lingshi County, that is, a distance of forty or fifty miles.

If it hadn't snowed, Zhao Wen would have already arrived in Lingshi County at this time.

Originally, Zhao Wen wanted to work harder and bring the team to Lingshi County, but who knew that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground was already more than a foot thick.

With such thick snow, the marching speed was unusually slow, and Zhao Wen had no choice but to camp here now.

It was already night when the camp was completely settled.

Standing at the door of the large tent, Zhao Wen looked at the continuous heavy snow in the sky, and asked, "Where is the former army now?"

"My lord, according to the previous report from the scouts, the former army is now less than twenty miles away from Lingshi County. Because the snow suddenly became heavier, we had to stop first. It is estimated that we will reach Lingshi County tomorrow morning." Guo Yi Standing beside Zhao Wen.

Before Zhao Wen set off, the ex-soldier horse took the lead. The general leading the ex-soldier horse for the time being was none other than Qi Dazhuang, who escaped from Shaanxi with his mother on his back a long, long time ago and was rescued by Zhao Wen.

This Qi Dazhuang fought fiercely after entering the barracks. Every time he fought, he charged forward and made a lot of contributions.

In addition, he likes to study very much. In the military camp, as long as he has free time, he will ask the military counselor for advice.

Today's Qi Dazhuang dare not say that he can be admitted as a scholar, but he can read the Four Books and Five Classics.

Qi Dazhuang is also very calm and loyal to Zhao Wen.

So, now he has become a thousand households.

It was also for these reasons that Zhao Wen asked him to temporarily lead the former army to take the lead and take over Lingshi County, which is not far from Jiexiu County.

Zhao Wen nodded and looked at Guo Yi: "You will send someone to inform Qi Dazhuang later that after he enters Lingshi County tomorrow, he will divide the troops under his command into units of thousands of households, and distribute all these troops to me so that Receive the city as quickly as possible, and be sure to capture the entire south of Shanxi before the Chinese New Year.

In addition to Qi Dazhuang, Song Hu and Zhao Daniu also asked them to separate their troops and occupy the entire Shanxi as quickly as possible.There are also guards in the camp. Only 1000 people in the guards camp need to be left, and the excess will be dispersed. "

"But my lord, the safety of my lord is the top priority of Xuan Town, the guard camp cannot be separated." Guo Yi became anxious when he heard that Zhao Wen wanted to separate the guard camp.

In Guo Yi's heart, Zhao Wen's safety is more important than anything else.

Although there are more than 8000 people in the current guard camp, Guo Yi still feels that it is not enough.

Not only Guo Yi, but in the hearts of everyone in Xuanzhen, Zhao Wen's safety is the most important. Today's Xuanzhen can reach this point, which is inseparable from Zhao Wen. Without Zhao Wen, today's Xuanzhen The town simply cannot exist.

Therefore, Zhao Wen's comfort is the most important thing.

Zhao Wen waved his hand indifferently, "Now that the whole of Shanxi is about to fall into our hands, what danger can there be at this time? Besides, even if there is any danger, with a thousand armed guards, we can completely protect it." My safety."

"My lord, this matter is too dangerous, please think again, my lord." Guo Yi persuaded Zhao Wen anxiously.

But Zhao Wen didn't change his face, and he didn't change his mind at all.

"I have already decided that it is impossible to make any changes. You should pass on my order. Now that Shanxi is about to be taken by us, what do you have to be afraid of?

Besides, don't you believe in the soldiers of the Guards Battalion?Don't you think these soldiers can't protect me? "Zhao Wen chuckled, and then said to Guo Yi: "Okay, just follow what I said. "

Guo Yi looked at Zhao Wen who had made up his mind, and heaved a long sigh, so he had to obey Zhao Wen's order.

Under the darkness of the night, heavy snow fell, and a cavalry force of nearly 100 men rushed out of Zhao Wen's camp and rushed in all directions.

Zhao Wen's current camp is not far from Qi Dazhuang's camp, so the people who went to Qi Dazhuang's camp did not take long to arrive at Qi Dazhuang's camp.

In Qi Dazhuang's camp, Qi Dazhuang took the order given to him by Zhao Wen, and hurriedly shouted to the guards standing outside: "Come on, all the thousand households in the general and the counselors at the level of thousand households will be given to me!" Find it."

As soon as Qi Dazhuang's words fell, the guard standing at the door hurriedly ran towards the depths of the camp.

It didn't take long for Qi Dazhuang's big tent to be full of Qianhu and Qianhu's first-level counselors in the army.

Now Qi Dazhuang has a total of about 2 people, and there are about 20 counselors at the level of Qianhu and Qianhu.

These people filled the entire big tent to the brim.

"This is the military order issued by the commander-in-chief, I will read it to you!" Qi Dazhuang said and began to read the military order.

When Qi Dazhuang's last word fell, the thousands of households and the counselors in the big tent became excited.

The reason for these people's excitement is very simple, because in the eyes of these thousands of households and the counselors, only by separating themselves from these people can they make greater contributions.

Although many people are powerful, in the eyes of these people, their weapons are so powerful that they don't need to gather together at all.
