Li Xin rode out of the checkpoint with Lu 900 and went upstream along the south bank of the Yan River, and the horse team ran straight out for more than ten miles, only to see dozens of Mongols waiting there on the river beach that had been dissolved, the war horses were quite irritable and snorted, and the horses' hooves kept digging back and forth.

"General, Batu is here to keep the promise, and tens of thousands of Tumut people are willing to return to the Ming Kingdom."

Batu really succeeded in seizing the control of the Tumut Ministry, and Li had a plan under his confidence. It was obviously not a wise move for him to blatantly return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and it would definitely invite the revenge of the Manchus and the looting of the surrounding tribes. This is an insurmountable hurdle for Batu, and it is also something that Li Xin does not want to see.

As a result, Li Xin decided to let Batu, who had succeeded in seizing power, continue to declare his allegiance to the Manchu Emperor Taiji, but to cooperate with him in secret. Batu gladly accepted the plan that was most beneficial to him, and then beckoned a half-grown young man behind him to the horse, and then bowed deeply to Li Xin with his right hand on his chest.

"Please let Agoura stay and pull the stirrups for the general!"

The boy looked fourteen or fifteen years old, and his angular face revealed a sense of determination, but it was a little untimely and a little gloomy.

Batu hurriedly explained further: "Agoura is Batu's eldest son, please allow him to follow the general as the general's guard......"

Li Xin suddenly realized that this Batu was actually planning to leave his son as a hostage to show the validity of his previous promise, and he couldn't help but look at the stocky Mongolian nobleman in front of him. After coming to the Ming Dynasty, the people he saw were not only chasing fame and fortune, but also bent on getting promoted and making a fortune.

Li Xin originally only intended to establish some kind of contact with him, which could be used as a nail to disturb the allegiance of the Manchu tribes in the steppe at a critical moment, but now Batu took the initiative to keep his son as a hostage, and his sincerity was surprising.

In the end, Li Xin promised Batu 1,000 stone of grain and 1,000 pieces of cotton clothes to help them survive this period of green and yellow season, as a reward for Batu's sincerity.

After the incident, Batu whistled and led people away from the Yanhe River beach like a strong wind, and the young Agula did not have a trace of nostalgia for his father in his eyes, and stood silently behind Li Xin, and soon entered the role in the Ming Kingdom.

Lu Jiu wondered why Li Xin could accurately know that among the people who attacked at night last night was Nabatu's brother Hailai. Li Xin did not hide it, so he told him that a few nights before, allowing the Mongols to enter the warehouse to grab grain, it was all intentional, in order to attract that Hailai to come in person, but he did not expect him to be so uncontrollable, only two days of hard work to throw himself into the net, and before Batu had told Li Xin that the battle flag held by Hailai every time he went out in battle was different from other people, and the most obvious thing is that in order to show his authority, this person changed his personal guard to a water of Manchu cloth armor, which is very easy to identify.

It's a pity that after the indiscriminate bombardment that night, this poor fellow, who didn't even leave a complete corpse, was poured with fire oil by the captives early in the morning, and burned it clean.

When Batu heard that the plague was raging in the Ming Kingdom, he didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that the devil of the plague would be taken to the grassland, so he withdrew all the people from the side wall with a lot of results in an hour, and walked cleanly.

This episode actually brought Li Xin an unexpected harvest, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and a more ambitious plan was formed in Li Xin's mind. He looked at the clouds in the sky that were gradually blowing away, and whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Tumut Division, Jiahan Division, Uzhumuqin Division, Karaqin Division......"

These tribes are all Mongolian tribes that can be counted outside the border wall of Datong Mansion, and if they can turn the world upside down, it is equivalent to breaking the arm of the Manchu Qing Emperor Taiji.

On the way back to the checkpoint, the liaison officer of Chaoyang Fort came to report that the eleven members of the Council of Chaoyang Fort had been officially announced, and Li Xin was invited to sit in the town and announce the appointment. According to the previously drafted election regulations, the eleven members of the council elected by the people of the fort will only be formally effective if they are finally appointed by the General Military Office.

Unexpectedly, after walking less than five miles, a messenger came from the direction of the Acropolis, and it was Huang Yu who had left early in the morning, and the soldier presented a letterhead.

"My lord, the steward left a handwritten letter."

Hearing that Huang Yu left the Acropolis in a hurry, Li Xin felt an indescribable feeling in his chest, and regretted not waking her up early that morning. waited until the letter was opened, and then I understood that Huang Yu left in a hurry for another reason.

The letter focused on three things, the first is the latest developments in the imperial court, Gao Shanwei commanded Yao Zhenglong to sue him for murdering Yang and Wei Qian's commander Qiu Gong, and brought Qiu Gong's head into Beijing, and now the imperial court has sent the celebrant to Bingbi Gao Shiming to investigate the matter thoroughly. Although there were only a few strokes, Li Xin could feel her worries.

The second thing is not unrelated to the first thing, that is, the person who led the complaint was ostensibly denounced by Yao Zhenglong, and Liu Yuliang exerted his efforts, but in fact, there was another person behind the scenes, it is reported that the Fan family threw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on this matter, just to buy his Li Xin's net worth.

The third is the reason why she left in a hurry, saying that she received an urgent letter from home, but the language is unknown.

After reading Li Xin, he fell into deep thought, hadn't Qiu Gong's body been burned by Shi Datuo's people, so what was the matter with the head? Shi Datuo was in the entourage, and Li Xin called him on the spot to inquire about it, and Shi Datuo shouted that it was impossible.

"I personally watched the Qiu family members being burned to ashes...... Unless, unless, that Qiu Gong's body has been dropped early in the morning......"

This matter can't be investigated now, but it must be thoroughly investigated, he wants to see which link has gone wrong, it seems that the influence of Jin Shang in the various guards is far beyond imagination.

Li Xinluo also understood as soon as he thought about it, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, Jin merchants earned money from the imperial court and the Manchu Qing Tartars, and scattered the money like flowing water, but where it is profitable, how many people will rush to it. How many people have been cut off from the financial route of the checkpoint embargoed materials in Sanwei? Cutting off people's financial means is tantamount to killing their parents, and these people still don't have an uncommon hatred with themselves?

It seems that the established strategy against the Jin merchants should also be changed, from the previous total suppression, to selectively win over and divide a part, and then resolutely crack down on a part.

"When did the Huang family steward leave?"

Li Xin suddenly asked the messenger.

"Back to the adult, when the villain left the city, Huang Gongzi had not yet made the trip."

When Li Xin heard this, he felt that he should send it anyway, Huang Yu must have taken the shortcut Bai Deng when he returned to Daizhou, and if he went in the direction of Bai Deng at this time, he might be able to catch up. So he ordered Lu Jiu to take people back to the city first, how Lu Jiu was willing to let Li Xin go alone, no matter what, he had to pass with him, Li Xin no longer insisted, and went straight to Baideng. The spear battalion was temporarily stationed at the Yanhe checkpoint due to the need to strengthen the security along the Yan River, and did not need to return to the city or go along.

……

The Acropolis was captured, the alarm was lifted, and Qian Tai led a group of officials from the Yamen of the Guards to wait at the gate of the north city to welcome the return of Li Xin, the chief soldier of the three guards. Who knew that there was no movement left and right, and the number two person in the Acropolis couldn't help but be a little impatient.

After another moment, the return procession of the chief soldier did not wait, but waited for the message from the scout. A group of unidentified horses entered the territory of Zhenyuwei from the territory of Wanquanwei along Shengchuan City. This made Qian Tai's brow jump.

Generally, the officers and soldiers will know the local guard post in advance when they cross the border, and the town guard is a border castle, unless there is an order from the Xingdu Division, there will hardly be an official or military crossing. So what is the purpose of this group of people on the spot? He had no choice but to ask for continued surveillance, and at the same time planned to wait for Li Xin to return to the Acropolis to discuss with him before making plans.

But in the end, all I was waiting for was a word of mouth, the soldiers passed the message, and the chief soldier went to chase the steward of the Huang family trading company, and I was afraid that he had arrived in Baideng at this time. Hearing this news, Qian Tai chuckled in his heart, and then thought of the unknown horse team that came from Wanquan Wei Shun Shengchuan, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Out of the Baideng checkpoint, Huang Yu went straight to Daizhou without stopping, she didn't even care about the initial recovery from a serious illness and her weak body, she still urged the good horse under her crotch to hurry up.

It turned out that while he received a report on the dynamics of the capital in the past few days, he also received a news that shocked him at the time, the head of the Huang family's trading company, his father was infected with the plague, and the news was said to have been blocked, and it was only stopped at the Huang family's courtyard outside Daizhou City, and it was not announced. Huang's father has been getting older in recent years, changing the strictness of the past, and he has become more and more doting and loving to her.

There may not be wind in the holes, this time it seems that the brothers of the Huang family are stepping up their efforts to seize power. Regardless of everyone's small family, or the high-ranking royal family, when it comes to property inheritance, there must be bloody wind and rain behind it, Huang Yu doesn't care who the power of the Huang family trading company falls into the hands of the eventually, how these people fight for power and profit, let them fight, as long as it doesn't hurt the eldest brother and father, she will ignore it.

The old servant on the side is still complaining about his son-in-law, who left in a hurry, and now there are chaotic people everywhere, and the road is not peaceful at all, how should the general soldier send some people to protect them, just if there is a good one of them, how can it be good.

Huang Yu was very kind to these servants, and she was not angry, but she didn't explain half of it. Now Brother Li is also anxious, and his troops are stretched, how can he make it difficult for him again! Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Huang Yu's eyes, but he didn't expect that he still had the hand of the Jingshi gift, which was more important than his own 200,000 taels of silver, but it was a pity that the emperor was not a person with a stomach, although he had passed the difficulties for the time being, since then, I am afraid that he will plant a seed in the heart of the master of the throne.

It is said that Gao Shiming, the envoy of the imperial court, also has some grudges with Brother Li, but how to resolve them...... The horse's speed slowed down, but Huang Yu fell into deep thought, not noticing the startled birds in the forest in the distance.
