This time the killing is more special, most of the people killed are still the more high-status people among the Han people, they are attached to the powerful masters of the Eight Banners, and deal with the delicate and complex business affairs for those rude Jurchens, in short, these people are the people who dance in the embers, shrewd, meticulous, careful, this time they are guilty of a big taboo, directly angering Huang Taiji, the banner owner Baylor, ordinary people may not dare to take their lives.

The two of them dragged their braids, one of them aimed at the neck with a knife, and found the gap between the bones, if they blindly used brute force to chop, they would break a knife, and a good knife was worth nearly ten taels of silver, which was not worth it.

aimed, ignoring the whines and wails in those mouths, the knife fell in his hand, and a skull spurted blood and fell.

There was a strange scream all around, and Shu Mu rolled his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.

Sometimes Shu Mu sadly found that because he had been on Horqin's side for a long time and had dealt with the Han people for a long time, he was no longer too accustomed to life here...... Somewhat savage, he thought.

This is also the reason why Shu Mu wanted to go out, he found that deep down he didn't like his comrades very much, and it didn't feel right.

After discovering the signs of this danger, Shu Mu wanted to strangle himself to death, and he had been dealing with the Han people for a long time, he knew that the Han people were not the same as these dead people in front of him, and he admired Yang Sisun's pride and refinement. There are also those rough and brave officers of the merchant army, reserved and responsible Ren Jing, who are all heroic for a while.

He has dealt with these people in the past few years, as well as those Han officials, whether they are escorting cars or being in charge of trade, they are quite responsible, and Shu Mu has figured out a Han word: a sense of honor.

This may not be an old word of the Han people, Shu Mu has pondered it for the past two years, and found that the people of Hutchison can always say very appropriate words, he wants to add these words to the Jurchen words, but he doesn't dare, this is not his errand, it is the business of Bakshi.

The unlucky ghosts are not only these Han people, but also a few Jurchens with official positions, they are also pressed to the ground, and when they take turns to behead them, the Jurchens who are watching no longer scream, after all, some rabbits and foxes are sad, and the old Khan has been moody in recent years, and it is difficult to figure out his thoughts, after all, he is an elderly man in his sixties, and he grew up in a difficult environment, and he has been fighting all his life, and he has many old diseases and dark wounds on his body, plus he is older, and his emotional twists and turns are very serious, which can also be seen from the increasing number of Jurchens who have been sentenced to behead in the past two years. Not only ordinary bannermen, but even nobles are often punished, and even those at the level of the chief military officer are not much better.

"Wait a minute." When the knife was about to be opened, several bare-headed people rushed over, some jumped off the horse directly to stop the execution, and some ran to Shu Mu, beat a thousand, and said: "Report the truth, the master above ordered the execution to be suspended." ”

These were obviously Han coats, Shu Mu frowned in disgust, and said, "Which master's order?" ”

"The order of the master of the Three Baylors."

"Oh, I see."

Shu Mu waved his hand, his subordinates all stepped aside, and the few Jurchen prisoners who were tense relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, since it was Mang Gurtai who ordered it, then it really can't be executed, these people are indeed people with the Blue Banner, their status is not low, and they all have official positions like Zhang Jing, if it weren't for Huang Taiji's order, these people would not have been dragged to the edge of the wasteland in the south of the city and beheaded to show the public.

Shu Mu himself also retreated to a shady place, he knew why Huang Taiji was furious, and categorically ordered these people to be beheaded for public display, but he didn't want to get involved in this matter, he didn't want to at all, he just wanted to hide in a shady place now, waiting for the order from above, what to do, at this time it would be better if there was canned fruit in Hutchison, under the shade of the tree, the mood was very relaxed, there was a sense of ease that the work had been done, eating delicious canned food, it was possible to chat and brag with the Han people stationed there, and despise each other.

Shu Mu sighed, he knew he couldn't think about it anymore.

……

Mang Gurtai hurried all the way back from outside the city, and his face was not very good-looking, because his good mood for hunting outside the city was ruined by what happened in the city.

Several of his flag slaves were arrested by the old eight, and it is undeniable that he killed several on the execution ground, but Mang Gurtai did not plan to tear his face or get angry with Huang Taiji, this matter was his fault, and the matter was too big by those damn minions, the eighth is actually well-intentioned, if it is discovered by his father Khan, it is light to draw a whip, and it is difficult to bump into Nurhachi because of the secret injury when he loses his temper, it is likely that Mang Gurtai will be sent to the dense forest in the north, Spend this summer affectionately with the fist-sized mosquitoes and the incomparably accurate raw Jurchens who shoot arrows.

The battlefield on the northern front is very attractive to the calves like Shu Mu, and of course it is exempt from the big Baylor like Mang Gurtai, and the more than 1,000 people captured and the eight banners must be divided, and the dozens of more points given to him can't be worth the loss of time and energy and the effort, which doesn't make much sense.

"Old eight, this bear's paw is very fat and tender, I sent two to my father Khan, one for each of our brothers, so that your Han cook is so raw, simmered out is better than roasted, well, I eat it now simmered."

When Mang Gurtai entered Huang Taiji's residence, he found that the eighth brother still had a gloomy face, he knew that it was the coat he sent to prevent the execution that was also known to this eighth brother, his face was stunned, but he had no intention of changing his mind.

"Fifth brother," Huang Taiji couldn't help but say: "I don't understand your approach, we have cut ninety percent of the groceries from Hutchison, and also cut the business with Mao Wenlong, and the grain truck has also been halved, the price of grain soared to twenty taels and one stone during the spring famine a while ago, and it slowly fell back after hunting and picking wild fruits and vegetables, and it is estimated that it will drop to less than ten taels in half a month. ”

Mang Gurtai said with a gloomy face: "You have the most dealings with Hutchison, so you want to resume buying grain from Hutchison, we buy a cart of grain from Hutchison with real money, that Zhang Han is too fine, he always presses the price of our fur and ginseng, sells high and buys low, our cash and good things are called to him to be exchanged, how many Han people we have killed from the end of last year to this year, and finally reduced more than half of the grain, and now we buy grain for Zhushen and the Mongols, the Han people can eat as much as they grow, why bother to buy grain." ”

Huang Taiji said: "I know I can't convince you, but I just want to say that silver taels don't mean much, and food is more important than everything." ”

Mang Gurtai said: "Father Khan and we all know that we have to wait for the opportunity now, and when Liaoxi shows obvious flaws, we will rush over, there are grain, cloth, medicinal materials, ironware, and silver taels, what do you want, the Mongols are poor and dead, and fighting with them is a loss-making business, and we should have prepared to fight Liaoxi." ”

"There's no way yet, or we can't spy on it." Huang Taiji gently pinched his eyebrows, and he also felt a little distressed.

According to the current Jurchen intelligence sources, the military equipment in western Liaoning has been restored quite completely, Jinzhou, Dalinghe, Songshan Xingshan and Tashan forts have been built, there are You Shilu and Ma Chengen and other general soldiers transferred from Xuanda, each general military officer means hundreds of thousands of family members and about 2,000 soldiers who can withstand a battle, plus many deputy generals and generals, Liaoxi now has at least about 20,000 experienced soldiers, and Sun Chengzong has trained 140,000 Guan Ning soldiers with dozens of battalions, Although more than ninety percent of them were recruits who had never fought in battle, according to the information brought back by Xizuo, Sun Chengzong issued cotton armor to a large number of soldiers, a considerable number of cavalry were equipped with iron armor, and their vehicle artillery battalion had a large number of artillery and various firearms.

Although the Jurchens did not care about the firearms of the Ming army before, after the Battle of the Thirteen Mountains and the Battle of Horqin, after the summary of many experiences, the firearms of the Ming people have obviously become sharper, and the Jurchen upper echelons do not know whether it is purely the interests of Hutchison firearms, or whether the Ming people have used firearms with better quality and farther and higher firing success rate.

In addition, Sun Chengzong's prestige was shocked, and the soldiers everywhere obeyed the military orders, and the situation in western Liaoning was quite stable.

Stability means that there is no chance, just like when fighting Guangning, more than 60,000 Ming troops are much stronger than the current elite, if it is not for the strategy and the governor to fight for power, Wang Huazhen, that fool sent the soldiers out to fight, but as Xiong Tingbi said, the Dajin soldiers do not have much chance to capture Guangning, and it is likely to lose troops and go back with nothing.

Coupled with the containment of the Dongjiang soldiers on the Dongjiang islands in Kuandian and Dongjiang Islands behind the flank, the strategic situation of the Jurchens is now quite deteriorating, which makes Huang Taiji worried, at this time his father Khan and Dai Shan they wantonly slaughtered the Han people in order to save expenses, took the Han army out of the banner as slaves, and drove the originally experienced soldiers out to farm, Huang Taiji felt that there was nothing more stupid in the world than this. But now the Eight Banners are not in charge of him, he has a very high status in the Dajin Kingdom established by the Jurchens, he is listened to, his advice has always been accurate and correct, the old Khan likes and appreciates him, but he is not the Great Khan, in fact, there is an increasingly obvious tendency that the old Khan wants to pass the Khan throne to Dolgon or Duoduo, because the old Khan made it clear that Azig will be the banner master in the future, and Dolgon is also the banner master, and there are fifteen of the most elite pro-army Niu Lu, which is the most elite soldiers and horses who have followed the old Khan for decades, and these fifteen Niu Lu are additionally given to Duoduo, This little brother is becoming more and more arrogant, and almost no one dares to provoke him.

Old Khan also became more and more unable to listen to other people's opinions, and Nurhachi became irritable too easily, and judged the same as the calm and wise before.

Everyone understood that the old Khan was in his last years, but no one dared to violate his authority before the old Khan died.

Huang Taiji has been running his own territory, cautiously, and everyone who can use it to have a good relationship, even if it is the two red flags of Daishan, Daishan is the same by Huang Taiji, and later this big Baylor understands that his relationship with Huang Taiji is very bad, but Huang Taiji is in Daishan's son, Yue Tuo and Sakhalian and Huang Taiji are good to wear a pair of pants, these little Baylors have their own Niu Lu, and Daishan has no way to interfere with their political choices, the two yellow flags are the three brothers of the Great Khan and Dolgon, two white flags, Two red flags, two blue flags, most of the people support Huang Taiji, at this time Huang Taiji understands that he must be more cautious and careful, and cannot make the good situation fall short at the last moment.
