Zhu Linmiao was overjoyed, and immediately looked at the Jianyu officer on the ground, only to see that the flesh and skin on half of his face were rolled, the blood had dried and turned black, and he was wearing the gray armor of an ordinary flag soldier, and the coarse cloth military uniform inside had been torn into several strips.

He turned to Zhao Shichao and confirmed: "Have you verified your identity?" ”

"Go back to your lordship, there will be no mistakes." Zhao Shichao said, "This guy tried to get through in vain among the ordinary captives, and was recognized by Zhang Hongmo, who surrendered before the battle. His subordinates have asked dozens of puppet officials to identify him, and they all say that it is Azig. ”

"Well done!"

Zhu Linmiao squatted down and looked at the dark-skinned and slightly thin Jianlu, "Azig? Son of Nurhachi, brother of Dolgon. He nodded thoughtfully, "It's a big fish." ”

Shi Lin remembered the refreshing energy of Bolo a few days ago, and immediately arched his hand to the side: "My lord, did you drag this dog Tartar out and cut it?" ”

Azig had relieved himself at this time, and when he heard this, he immediately struggled and shouted loudly: "Minggou, you dare to touch a single hair of mine, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will send a large army to wipe out Fujian and slaughter the southerners!" ”

Zhu Linmiao ignored his barking, but suddenly remembered the locust merchant surnamed Liang captured by Huang Qishou, and an idea immediately came to his mind.

He stood up and shook his head at Shi Lin and said, "Keep this guy's head for the time being." ”

Azig thought that the threat had played a role, and suddenly became even more arrogant, shouting non-stop about "100,000 troops attacking the city", "ordering Er and others to be slaves for generations", "slaughtering the nine tribes" and so on.

Zhu Linmiao glanced at Shi Lin impatiently. The latter turned around and grabbed the dirt and stuffed it into Azig's mouth, and then raised his leg and stomped two feet between his chest and abdomen, and the "Imbele", who had just been invincible, immediately curled up on the ground and fell silent.

"Well, an army of 100,000 attacked the city, wiped out the nine tribes, and enslaved them for generations. That's right," Zhu Linmiao tapped the dead dog-like Azig with the tip of his boot, and said indifferently, "I promise, these will all be fulfilled on your Aixinjue Luo's head, and it will definitely not be too long." ”

He motioned for his soldiers to carry Azig away, and then instructed Huang Qishou, "Bring me the locust merchant surnamed Liang." ”

Why didn't you kill the thief again? Huang Qishou was stunned, but still saluted and said, "Yes!" He turned around and walked out of the account.

Zhang Jiayu was also puzzled, and couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, this is ......?"

Zhu Linmiao said in a deep voice: "In recent years, the Jianyu army has been very fierce and rarely defeated, so it is proud and arrogant, and it has fought on multiple fronts in Fujing, Sichuan, Huguang, Mobei and other places, and its troops are extremely scattered. If this were not the case, we would not be facing 40,000 or 50,000 captives this time, but more than 100,000 or 200,000. ”

Zhang Jiayu nodded, his expression became solemn, this time against more than 40,000 prisoners, has caused a lot of losses to the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion, if there are more than 100,000 prisoners outside the Shanguan Pass, the result is really unimaginable!

"The Battle of Shanguan is a great defeat that has never been experienced since Jianyu entered the pass." Zhu Linmiao continued, "If what I expected is right, Dolgon must have listed me as the number one enemy at this time, and he will definitely take revenge.

"And if the Qing court wants to gather more troops than Bolo to go south this time, it can only draw men and horses from Shu and Mobei. It is to make peace with the Takers and the Tatars, and to concentrate their forces against us. ”

When Zhang Jiayu heard this, he was puzzled and said: "My lord, my subordinates only know that Haoge is invading Sichuan, but they have not heard of any war with the Tatars?" ”

Zhu Linmiao only saved the province, and the history of the Mongolian Sunit Department against the Qing Dynasty was a matter of recent months, and at this time, the news may not have reached Jiangnan.

He briefly told Zhang Jiayu that Teng Jisi, who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was dissatisfied with Dolgon's suppression, and led the Sunit troops to defect to the Khalkha forces in northern Mongolia, and the Qing court immediately sent Duoduo to lead tens of thousands of elites to suppress it, and the two sides had started a war around May.

In addition, he also knew that Teng Jisi only held out until October and was defeated. Since then, Mongolian Chahar, Horqin and other places have become the backyard of the Jianjiao, and there has never been any idea of resisting, and even provided many soldiers to invade the south.

Of course, he couldn't say these things.

He continued: "At present, although our dynasty nominally has all the land south of the Yangtze River, in fact, only the government decrees of Jiangxi and Fujian are unimpeded, and Jianyu controls the entire Jiangbei and many forces in Mobei. If it goes all out to attack the south, even if we can hold on, under the successive wars, the people's livelihood will inevitably wither and the country will decline. ”

Zhang Jiayu also frowned when he heard this, but his expression was relieved after a while, and he said: "That locust merchant Liang Shisu has close contacts with various forces outside the Guan, and the adults just summoned him here, or has he already had a strategy to go through the desert north?" ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just that he can't use the 'resources' in his hand to add some blockage to Dolgon, so that he can't free up his hands to go south." ”

Before he could continue, Huang Qishou put a fat white man with rat tail pigtails tied up by five flowers into the account.

"My lord, the thief Jia Liang Xiuyan brought."

That Liang Xiuyan saw that Huang Qishou was very respectful to the handsome young man in front of him, so he had already guessed his identity. He was conscious, and before anyone could make a move, he bowed his head and shouted: "The grass people come to see King Chen Chitose." ”

He has been in the smuggling business inside and outside the customs for many years, and he is also a little shrewd, knowing that since he can bring himself here, it is necessary to discuss, so he hurriedly continued: "The grass people are only businessmen, and they are not enemies of the heavenly army. ”

He knelt on the ground and peeked at Zhu Linmiao, seeing that his eyes were cold and speechless, he couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly said: "No, no, the grass people are willing to give 50,000 taels of silver......

He peeked again, but saw that King Chen's face was still as cold as ice, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "I am willing to sacrifice 100,000 taels ......."

"Shut up!"

The sound of Shi Lin on the side was like thunder, so frightened that Liang Xiuyan almost didn't pee out, so he quickly lowered his head and stopped making a sound.

"Are you Liang Bin's sister-in-law?" Zhu Linmiao asked slowly.

"Yes, yes......"

"A great crime, and you want to pay for it with money?" Zhu Linmiao said coldly, "I'll just say it directly, how much risk is Guest Liang willing to take to protect your life?"

"If you think about it, you will say it, and if you make a mistake, you will be immediately beheaded outside the camp."

Liang Xiuyan fell to the ground in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "My father is only one son, but whatever the Liang family can do, it is all up to His Royal Highness's orders, and my father will not shirk." ”

"Well," Zhu Linmiao bowed slightly, "I have something to transport to Mobei, but is there a way?" ”

"Mobei? I don't know what it is? ”

"Bows, crossbows, armor, a total of four carts."

Liang Xiuyan thought for a while, nodded and said, "As long as His Highness lets me live, my father will definitely be able to find a way to satisfy you." ”

Zhu Linmiao ignored him, but said, "You just said 100,000 taels of silver, right?" ”

Liang Xiuyan gritted his teeth and said, "Within a month, 100,000 taels will be set in His Highness's camp." ”

"No, these silver taels were exchanged for supplies near Datong according to my orders, and they were still transported to Mobei."

"Done!"

"Your head is saved for the time being." Zhu Linmiao continued, "Do you have any attendants?" ”

"Yes, there are several members of the family who came together," Liang Xiuyan looked at Huang Qishou, "they were all locked up in the camp by this general." ”

"Choose a reliable one and let him go north to contact Liang's guests." Zhu Linmiao stood up, "Half a month later, I didn't get a reply, and I broke you to thank the world." ”
