Tan Tai did not take off his armor, and his shiny silver armor was covered in a cold light. He said uneasy: "Master, will there be any risks in this way?"

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "We have more than 100 people, all of whom are white armored guards. The little prince has more than 300 people. Except for a few of them, they are elite vests and guards brought by their father Khan. These more than 400 people can pack more than 5,000 Dongjiang soldiers. What risks can they be taken?"

Tan Tai insisted: "The slave still wants to ask the master to take more precautions. In recent years, the Dongjiang soldiers here have made many breakthroughs, killing Zhu Shen many times, and also having records of defeat in the white armor. The slave still wants to ask the master to transfer a few Niu Lu's vests and Bing Jia to go forward and search and be on guard."

"Okay." Huang Taiji said indifferently: "It's easy."

...

After Dorgon fell asleep, Cao Zhenyan took a break and asked for leave with Zhang Jing, the one who was in charge of the clothes. People also knew that he had a life-saving brother here, so they didn't make things difficult for him, so they gave him a leave with ease.

Cao Zhenyan usually has a good temper and has a good reputation. He also has some influence in his family. He comes from a general family and is usually generous in his actions. Although he is a robber, his status is not low among Dorgon. When he goes out, many people say hello to him. Then Cao Zhenyan put two bags of grains and some meat on the horse. He takes a torch and leads the horse, and walks to the place where Li Mingli lives in the village.

There are few dogs barking along the way. Jurchens do not eat dogs, and of course they will not allow their own coats to eat dogs. However, the severe famine in the past two years has affected the lives of many people, including the Jurchens, and there are also difficulties in making a living. Many people are forced to sell coats and plowing oxen, making it even more impossible to have leftover rice to raise dogs. Many dogs have become wild dogs, and some bold Han people will secretly kill the dogs raised by their masters to satisfy their hunger. However, that is a matter of risking their lives, and not many people dare to do it.

A few flag dicks heard the movement, pushed open the door and took a look and went back. They knew that this was the 14th Prince's man, and even Baoyi was not something they could afford.

Li Mingli knew that Cao Zhenyan was coming, and the lights were lit in the main room and side wing. He and Erya stood at the gate of the yard with their kids in their arms. As soon as they saw Cao Zhenyan, Li Mingli came up and said politely: "Brother, you bring things every time you come here, why bother?"

Cao Zhenyan also laughed loudly and said, "Why are your brothers doing this polite thing?"

When he entered the yard, unloaded the grain, and took a bag of meat, Erya said uneasy: "Brother Cao, this is really a waste. These things are worth dozens of taels of silver now."

"Money is external." Cao Zhenyan knew that Li Mingli was hiding Erya and did not expose the contact between the two parties. Now these items are all considered public funds, and Cao Zhenyan had sufficient funds... He did not explain too much, but just smiled slightly and moved the food to the stove with Li Mingli.

"It seems that my brother is living a good life." Cao Zhenyan saw the wine and food on the table, including a fish and a stewed chicken with mushrooms. The aroma of wine and vegetable floated over, which made people's index fingers move, and he made a joke.

"This is really a blessing for you." Li Mingli and Cao Zhenyan sat down. Erya knew that they were going to talk, so she took the child to close the yard. This situation has been many times and will not attract attention or attention.

These artificiality is not useless, but is actually quite necessary.

Every Niulu will strictly prevent the interaction between the Han people. The robbers cannot be freely dealt with without the instructions of their masters, let alone visiting others and drinking. The spies in Dongjiang Town are very effective. From the second year of the Tianqi to the fifth year, the old manuscripts were full of old Khan's orders to prevent spies. It is conceivable how much pressure the Dongjiang spies put on the Later Jin regime. They spread rumors, instigated, and responded to the escape, assassination, and poisoning of Han people. They did everything that the general spies could do. The inner part of the Later Jin regime was full of warriors, and they were very careful about preventing spies. The two Han people belonged to different government villages and had close contact. They should have been carefully verified. Fortunately, Cao Li and Li were always careful and had a very strong background. For example, Cao Zhenyan had much less contact with the other two lines, and they had to be more careful.

"Come on, do it."

Cao Zhenyan was in a good mood and had collected a lot of information recently. In addition, he was happy to see Li Mingli no longer suppressing pain. Moreover, the Li family lived a very good life. The boy in Erya's arms was white and fat. In the current territory ruled by the Great Jin Kingdom, such fat boys are rare.

There was grain locked in the cabinet in the house, and more hidden in the cellar. There were a few slices of meat hanging under the stove, pickled fish, and piles of wild vegetables piled up in the stove. This kind of life was really good in this era. Cao Zhenyan noticed that the grass roofs of the three main rooms had just been replaced with new grass. If there was no money, he would not be able to spend this effort, which means that the family was very energetic.

Li Mingli also noticed Cao Zhenyan's eyes, and he whispered: "To be honest, I have prepared a small raft by the river. Once there is any change, I will ask your sister-in-law to take your nephew to run away immediately. I still have some dry food and silver hidden by the river. When I arrived there in a hurry, I would not have no money or food. I would not be suspicious if I did these tricks here... I went to two more stores last month, and our Niu Lue was so angry that we were half dead."

On the Dongjiang side, the base of the Twelve Group in Kuandian Lane is becoming more and more attractive. All kinds of rumors are spread widely. Many Guanzhuang's coats have described the base of the Twelve Group as a kingdom of heaven. No one bullies are bullied and they are safe enough. No master will inexplicably snatch Baoyi's wife or teach the coats the coats a lesson with whips. Either sell the coats the family in a scattered manner, or even slaughter the coats because of a small mistake. Of course, this is impossible in the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, there are also a large number of fat fields and others who are farming, and the rewards are quite generous. Everyone can eat enough and don't have to worry about anything anymore.

What is more attractive to a poor person living in a state of stalemate?

Escape was inevitable, and the 12th Regiment's active attack frequency was quite frequent. The Later Jin soldiers also began to transfer a large number of people here. There were patrolling cavalry everywhere along the river and the old Kuandian forts, with a small amount of white armor mixed in between.

"How is the mission over there?" Cao Zhenyan also whispered: "This time I came with Si Beile, mainly to patrol the area of ​​Kuandian and Niumaozhai. They thought it was Dongjiang Town coming to harass it. This time, I was patrolling and waiting for the enemy. It would be best if I encountered Dongjiang attacks."

"It seems that Lao Khan also attaches great importance to the matter here."

"Yes." Cao Zhenyan noticed that Li Mingli, like himself, used respectful titles to the great figures of the Later Jin Dynasty, instead of cursing Lao Han or Lao Nu when he closed the door. This is a good professional quality for a detailed work, and he is very satisfied with it.

Cao Zhenyan continued: "Since the beginning of spring this year, Lao Khan has received at least thirty reports of wars crossing the river and going deep into the Hetuara area. How can this not be vigilant and attention?"

Li Mingli smiled bitterly and said, "There are also a hurry over there, and the number is not enough."

“How much is still missing?”

"It's still a hundred and a hundred. The ones that were previously shipped were already shipped. It seems that there are many ships built there and they consume a lot of money."

"Can you get all together?"

"The territory of Liaodong is so big. If we allow us to search slowly, hundreds of them will definitely be able to find them a year. It is only in a hurry that we can make such a big noise."

"Good..." Although this was not the first time Cao Zhenyan knew about this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "How many big ships do you have to build!"

"It's not that there is any rumor..." Li Mingli said cautiously: "We Huji and Dongjiang turned their faces, and they pressed Dongjiang with a warship as big as a hill."

"You have to listen to the circumstance of this matter. Don't discuss it, and we don't discuss it internally." Cao Zhenyan smiled and said, "The main purpose is to build a good unity with Dongjiang, so we won't talk about things that embarrass them."

"I understand."

The two were talking, and there were mixed footsteps outside, and then knocking on the door. The two of them did not show any nervousness, but they all put their hands on the knife handle at their waists.

At this time, unless something particularly important is required, ordinary people cannot walk in the official village.

"Brother Tabunang, Brother Zhao Gui."

Hearing Erya's greeting, Li Mingli breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It's Mongolian Zhangjing and his Baoyi in the village."

"Oh, that's fine."

The two men stood up in the light shadow, with smiles on their faces.

Tabu Nang and Li Mingli gave a greeting. Both of them are now wearing the same archer robe and the same small braids with bare heads. Tabu Nang was originally a haircut, but later he felt it was troublesome and simply handed over another braid, leaving only one behind his head. The same cloth boots and a sword on his waist, but Tabu Nang still rode the bow as the Mongolians, and refused to leave his body, and carried the bag and the bow with him.

Zhao Gui is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is thin and looks pretty strong, with bright eyes. He is coated by Tabu Nang. Even though Tabu Nang is not bad, his life is very difficult. He is almost losing weight. He is almost losing his body. At that time, many men were like this. They saved food from their mouths for women, and the women gave them to the elderly and children. The elderly finally pushed them to the children. Many elderly people could not bear it in winter and became dry bones in the mass grave.

Li Mingli introduced the two sides. The status of both sides was similar. Cao Zhenyan was a child of a Han general family. Tabunam was a proud son of the Mongolians. He was originally a close attendant officer around Taiji. He had joined the left wing of the Mongolians. He was Zhang Jing from Niulu, Mongolian, and stationed on the side of this Guanzhuang to guard against the fine works of Dongjiang coming from the other side of the river. The Mongolian horse team often cooperated with the Jurchens' actions. They could not farm, except for these Mongolians.

In addition to the small amount of farms of ancient people, there was a large amount of wasteland southwest and was useless. The superior gave some herds to these Mongolians, asking them to grazing here like the Mongolians in southern Liaoning. Tabun was very happy with the new role. He had two families of six people, all of which he bought with gold brought from the grassland, and put a hundred sheep on him. He was not interested in farming, and the superiors would not check the Mongolians' food reserves. It felt good to live like this.
