In the late autumn of the 11th century, the tragic scenes in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty were everywhere. Years of drought caused the land to be deserted and the people who had no food were displaced. The Ming Dynasty court, which did not collect commercial taxes, struggled. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Zhu Youjian issued an edict, in addition to increasing Liao pay, he also added a suppression pay to eliminate bandits. The gentry, vassal king, and officials who did not pay taxes occupied more than 80% of the land in the Ming Dynasty. These heavy taxes forced the kind people to flee their homes.

.The people from the north fled to the Xuanwei envoy area of ​​Ponucheng, at least they would not starve to death there. The people from the north who were far away from the Great Wall did not have this opportunity. In order to survive, they could only join the army of rebels. Although Gao Yingxiang, the commander of the rebel army on the battlefield in Shaanxi, was captured and then escorted to the capital to cut thousands of knifes, the escaped general Li Zicheng could still gather the army of 100,000 refugees again in a short period of time. Li Zicheng took Gao Yingxiang's flag and changed the rebel general to become the king of rebels.

At the junction of Julu County, Shunde Prefecture, Zhili and Longping (now Longyao) County, a local tycoon has emerged in recent years. According to rumors, Wu Jun, the owner of Wujiazhuang, was the nephew of Gu Huan, the Ming Dynasty's Zhenyuan Hou, who spent a lot of money to build two large manors here and purchased thousands of acres of land to raise thousands of village heads. In the name of protecting the manor from the enemy, he asked the prefect of Shunde Prefecture to ask for a regiment training here with great fanfare. The land purchased by Wujiazhuang spans Shunde Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture, and the land here is purchased in the name of Zhenyuan Hou Gu Huan, and the local government cannot collect grain taxes. If the village near Wujiazhuang is involved in their troubles, a fight will definitely be inevitable.

In recent years, Wujiazhuang has always been a winner. Even if the locals go to the government to file a lawsuit, they have never won. Someone once planned to go to the capital to file a lawsuit, but the result was that people would definitely disappear when they walked near the capital. Even the subordinates of Ponuhou, the most famous foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, would send grain to sell for peace when passing by Wujiazhuang, and others would not have the courage to challenge Wujiazhuang. However, the owner of the mansion Wu Jun was very kind to the tenants who rented farming land. If the year was not good, Wu Jun would not force the rent. Instead, he would use some grain to survive the wasteland so that the tenants would not starve to death. Wujiazhuang also often did charity and took in some wandering orphans. Generally, people either only left boys to raise them and became laborers after they were raised, or left a girl with good looks to raise them for a few days to buy brothels to make money.

Wujiazhuang was adopted by boys and girls. They were raised and sold to Ponuhou, who liked to adopt orphans for one year, and then exchanged food from Ponuhou for food. It was behind Wu Jun that there were two great gods, Gu Huan and Ponuhou Zhang Ping'an, who wanted to challenge Wujiazhuang in the Ming Dynasty. The people who wanted to challenge Wujiazhuang had no courage. On this day, a large caravan with 500 carts came from Linqingzhou and entered Wujiazhuang. This caravan was the banner of the Xuanwei envoy of Ponucheng. This caravan made many Zhili bandits avoid it. The bandits also knew that they could rob any caravan in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention whether they could take it or not, they would definitely implicate the nine tribes if they sent people to retaliate.

When the caravan entered Wujiazhuang, which was as tall as a castle, a box truck was covered with tightly covered, and the owner Wu Jun drove away the idle people to receive it himself. A strong man came out of the box truck. He was wearing a delicate green leather robe, a black six-heel hat, and a pair of soft leather boots. He was in his thirties, and his jaw was windy and frosty, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle made people dare not look directly at him. This person was Zhao Hucheng, the co-organizer of the Intelligence Department of the Pou Nu Army. Wu Jun is an old man in the personal guard camp. He is the longest by Zhang Dashuai. He is also very familiar with Zhao Hucheng, a legendary figure of the Pou Nu Army. Wu Jun has been hiding in Zhili for so many years, but he has never known what kind of big things Zhang Dashuai sent him to this ghost place to do. When Wu Jun saw Zhao Hucheng, at least he understood that he had work immediately.

There was also a detective chief, Yu Kexing, the General of Qiang, who followed Zhao Hucheng, and Wu Jun was beating wildly when he saw this. The General of Qiang, Yu Kexing, had been breaking the slave city. The Investigation Chief of the Detective Chief, had been coming to Wujiazhuang together, which means that the transaction he was doing must be quite large. A few years ago, Chief of Staff Gu Xin ordered Wu Jun to come to Julu secretly. Then, under the arrangement of the Intelligence Department, more than 2,000 veterans from the personal guard camp came to Wujiazhuang one after another. During training, they usually only dared to do it at night and did not dare to shout slogans, and no one could understand their real purpose here. Zhao Hucheng was just about to set off. Zheng Tai took out the order of Zhang Dashuai, who was a veteran of intelligence, and this order scared Zhao Hucheng, a spy veteran. Zhang Dashuai's reputation in the temple was too evil. Could it be that he would have trouble this year even if Lu Xiangsheng was a few years ago?

However, Marshal Zhang has done a lot of things that are even more evil than this, and Zhao Hucheng is still skeptical about Marshal Zhang's plan. After all, Lu Xiangsheng was patrolling Datong, and the Jurchen Jiannu only stepped forward to the Jinning defense line. There is no sign of the main force of the Qing Dynasty being detained again. This time, Zhao Hucheng brought enough combat supplies, and four boxes of broken slave army's weapon "*" to the bottom of the box. That is, these twenty "*" were buried deep in charcoal as thin as sea sand. Other boxes were loaded with thousands of crossbow cannons, a brand new three thousand muskets and more than 100,000 integrated ammunition. The Ming Dynasty had extremely strict control over armor. Wu Jun and the others had not brought armor in Wujiazhuang for several years. This time, Zhao Hucheng brought five hundred pairs of armor, and the next batch will bring another batch of armor and war horses to Wu Jun and the others.

The staff officer Tian Ge who came here with Wu Jun was also here. Zhao Hucheng dictated the order of Zhang Dashuai in front of everyone: "We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite. Zhang Dashuai predicted that Lu Chenshi was suspicious of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and his life was not easy this year. According to urgent reports from Nanzhili, Lu Jianshi's father Lu Guozhan died of illness three days ago. According to the usual rules, Lu Chenshi can return to his hometown to observe the system. Zhang Dashuai said that Lu Chenshi wants

If you go back to your hometown to attend the funeral, there is nothing Wu Jun has to do. The money you spent over the years will be considered a sound of training. If Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to seize the love and not allow Lu Chenshi to go home, your work will come. Zhang Dashuai ordered that I spent more than 200,000 yuan to let Wu Jun's mother have idle meals. Once Lu Jiandou brought the officers and soldiers of Tianxiong Camp into Julu, he was surrounded by the Jiannu army. Wu Jun had to fight his best to rescue Lu Jiandou and the old brothers of the Possess in Tianxiong Camp."

After hearing the orders of Zhang Dashen, several people in the secret room were moved to tears in their eyes. Zhang Dashen valued his brothers no matter when they were at all times. They knew very well that there were only about 500 veterans of the Ponu Army in Tianxiong Camp. Seventeen soldiers were killed after Lu Xiangsheng for several years. Due to injuries, there were about 200 people returning to Ponu City. Now there are only about 200 old brothers who are still in Tianxiong Camp. There are only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver spent on them over the years. The family of the old brothers in Tianxiong Camp also took double salary in Ponu City according to the treatment of Ponu Army in Ponu City. Now there are more than 600 soldiers removed from Tianxiong Camp. They asked them to go and fight for their brothers they had fought together and no one would retreat.

According to the order of Zhang Dazhuang, Zhao Hucheng presided over the war in Wujiazhuang. The Qianzong General of the Investigation Office, Yu Kexing, threatened the specific battle. Wu Jun, the Qianzong General of the Guards, arranged for Zhao Hucheng not to intervene. Then they discussed some specific combat deployments and the next evacuation arrangements. Just after more than ten days after the discussion of Wujiazhuang, a news shocked Zhao Hucheng and the others came from the capital. Lu Xiangsheng immediately wrote a memorial to go home to attend the funeral when he learned about his father's death. Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict that Jiannu was about to invade the border of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Xiangsheng was not allowed to go home to seize the love and continue to train troops in Shanxi to wait for the next day to serve the king. Lu Xiangsheng submitted a letter three times to request home, but was ordered to seize the love three times by Emperor Chongzhen and others. In the view of Zhao Hucheng and others, Zhang Dazhuang's prophecy was about to become a reality.

In October of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Beile Dorgon, the Zhengbai Banner of the Qing Dynasty, who escaped the black hands of the Possess Army, led an army of 300,000 to invade the Ming Dynasty again. The attack route of the Qing Dynasty invaded the Ming Dynasty was still the same, so he chose Xiong Wotou to Gubeikou. The Qing Emperor Huang Taiji personally led the Zhenghuang Banner and the Enchanted Yellow Banner to fight outside the pass. The Qing Dynasty dared to gather the strength of the whole country to invade the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, mainly based on the reduction of grain production in Manchuria and the Qing court seized a seemingly inconspicuous battle within the Ming Dynasty. The protagonists of this battle were Zhu Youjian, the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Qing Dynasty's mortal enemy of the Possess Army. Since the news of the breaking of the Possessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessessed to Liaodong, Huang Taiji and Dorgon fainted almost happily.

Yan Zhuocheng, the leader of the Qing Dynasty in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, spent a huge amount of money to hook up with Xiao Changshun, the think tank of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, and asked him to come forward to provoke the conflict between the emperor and the Ponuhou. In fact, if Yan Zhuocheng does not need to pay money, Xiao Changshun would not say good things about Zhang Ping'an. As an incomplete man, the original eunuch Xiao Changshun liked the most in his heart was money. Yan Zhuocheng's background was not very clear. For him, there were not many opportunities to get 10,000 taels of silver at a time. Xiao Changshun knew very well that Emperor Chongzhen's hatred for the Ponuhou Zhang Ping'an was deeply rooted in the bones, and why not make money according to the emperor's thoughts.

As the Huangqin Banner of the Qing Dynasty, Yan Zhuocheng was extorted by Zheng Tai before Zheng Tai evacuated the capital. Zheng Tai sent someone to clearly tell Yan Zhuocheng that he must give out 60,000 taels of gold to comfort Ponuhou's easily injured mind, implying that the Qing Dynasty would have to use gold as a way to buy money if it wanted to invade Daming. Sixty thousand taels of gold was indeed a sky-high price. Yan Zhuocheng reported to the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji while raising gold everywhere. Huang Taiji responded quickly when he learned that Zhang Ping'an's extortion news, and he ordered Yan Zhuocheng to satisfy Zhang Ping'an's greed at all costs. In fact, Zhang Ping'an only asked Zheng Tai to blackmail 50,000 taels of gold. Zheng Tai made a proposition and raised the price. Unexpectedly, Yan Zhuocheng borrowed gold from Shanxi merchants.
