One thing Hong Chengchou did not mention at all, whether the Ming Dynasty could defeat the Tumote tribe in Hetao. Because he had seen what Emperor Chongzhen did in the war against the enemy. He believed that the emperor would not do useless achievements.

On the other hand, the Tumote tribe was really abolished. Before that, it was beaten by Lin Danhan's Chahar tribe and fled in panic. Now it has returned with the power of Jianlu, but it has been divided into two by Jianlu, and its power has been weakened. The Ming Dynasty has ambitions but no intentions, and the chances of victory are very high.

After Emperor Chongzhen and Hong Chengchou talked for a long time, the next morning, he did not stay in Yanghe anymore. He led the army to continue westward and headed to Datong. The people who followed him, especially Wu Sangui, were inexplicably confused.

Before, he was holding on to his strength and was waiting to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, prove it to the other generals, and also to show it to the emperor. Wu Sangui is definitely not a person who is not worthy of his name!

But, what are you doing in Datong? Are you not going to the Central Plains? Isn’t the thief in trouble? Isn’t it in Hubei?

I couldn't figure it out, nor could I understand it. Wu Sangui wanted to ask Emperor Chongzhen several times, but after all, it was not in Liaodong or Guanning army. Therefore, after thinking about it, he finally kept it in his heart and continued to hold it in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen actually noticed it a long time ago, but he deliberately did not say it, so he asked them to hold it in. When the time is ripe, he asked them to go to the grassland to reward a good war. Now, it is not the time to hold their ultimate moves!

When he led the cavalry to Datong, on the other side, the Ming army soldiers had already rushed to Hetao with the Jianlu Niulu, explaining their purpose, which surprised Gu Luge, the left-wing commander of the Tumote tribe who had learned the news, and also felt very troublesome.

For him, he was very reluctant to encounter such a thing himself.

In the Mongolian tent, he summoned the gang leader, the gang leader, and the cavalry school to discuss this matter, which was a headache.

The Ming Dynasty offered a price of 1,000 horses to exchange, and the time was limited. If it was changed or not, it would be too late to ask the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong.

In distress, someone complained: "Isn't this really the Qing army invincible in the field? Why are they still captured by the Ming Kingdom? It's okay if the ordinary Jurchens are captured, but even Gushan Ezhen is captured. What's going on?"

If they were just ordinary Jianzhou Jurchens, they might be able to make excuses to not trade with Ming. After all, thousands of good horses are not a small amount. For them, it is all painful.

However, among the prisoners, there are high-level Jianzhou Jurchens like Gushan Ezhen. Since they want to rely on the Qing Dynasty and occupy the fertile Hetao Plain, they can only change people. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty made it clear that if they do not change, they will kill the prisoners and avenge the dead Ming people.

If they really don’t change and put these Jianzhou Jurchens to death, then when the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong heard about it, their relatives and friends would definitely hold a grudge against them. It’s hard to say what the outcome will be!

"This Ming Kingdom is really treacherous!" someone from the yurt said, "You said you should just capture the prisoners. You have to travel so far away to deal with us. I'm so idle!"

“…”

When Gu Luge listened to their conversation, he only heard complaints, but couldn't come up with his ideas. He was so depressed that he felt that he had suddenly lost his bad luck.

Suddenly, his subordinate Zuo Ling suggested to him: "This matter cannot be burdened by our left wing. Isn't there still a right wing? Otherwise, let me know, let's share the burden together?"

When Gu Luge heard this, his eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "Yes, it's not reasonable for me to cut the flesh. If you want to cut the flesh, let's cut the flesh together. These days, there are also disasters on the grasslands. Life is not easy. If you can produce less blood, you will produce less blood."

He was thinking this way, and suddenly he heard a noise outside the tent. It seemed that someone was coming here and the guards outside wanted to stop him.

Gu Luge was just annoyed, so he shouted sternly: "Who is noisy anymore? Do you believe it or not?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man walking into a yurt and shouting sternly with an ugly expression: "Who are you going to whip?"

Gu Luge looked carefully and found that it was the Niu Luezhen brought by the Ming army.

The Jianzhou Juzhen Niu Luezhen is not big or small for Liaodong; but for these Mongolians, they are the Supreme Master. Therefore, Gu Luge quickly explained with a smile, saying that this is not what it means.

Niu Lue didn't want to hear this, but just shouted loudly: "We Lord Turg are suffering in Ming Kingdom. When will you rescue him?"

Speaking of this, he stared at Gu Luge again, took a few steps, pointed at Gu Luge's nose and asked, "Is it the lives of our Qing warriors who are not as good as one of your horses?"

"No, no!" Gu Luge firmly denied when he heard this, "Didn't the Ming Kingdom say that he wants to be a good war horse? I'm just afraid that Ming Kingdom will pick on tricks and affect the rescue of the Qing warriors, so I thought, after discussing with the right wing, select some war horses on both sides, so that Ming Kingdom has no reason to save Lord Turge and other Qing warriors at one time!"

When the Niu Lue heard this, he was quite satisfied. He calmed down a little, agreed with Gu Luge's statement, and urged him to go and do it quickly: "Don't delay, those Ming troops will return tomorrow, delaying time, making Ming Dynasty think that you don't want to exchange, which will harm Lord Turge and other Qing warriors. This matter is not something you can afford!"

After threatening, he was a little worried, so he sat down and stopped leaving. He watched with his own eyes the right wing commander Hang Gao be called, and then discussed together, and finally decided on the unlucky thing of each of them to bring out five hundred war horses.

The next day, a thousand war horses were selected without room for bargaining.

Based on the true meaning of Niu Lue, Gu Luge said to the headed small flag of the Ming army: "The war horses are the best war horses in our Tumote tribe, and they are all ready. Then, should we fight with the people and the horses in the same way?"

Hearing this, the small Ming army flag replied disdainfully: "It's not like that. Take these war horses back to the pass for testing first. Otherwise, who knows if you have eaten something like croton. If there is no problem, you will naturally release them. If there is any objection, our Governor said that you can't change it!"

"..." Gu Luge heard this and looked at each other with Hang Gao, and they were speechless.

Damn, Ming Jun was so confident that he had no room for negotiation on the conditions on his own.

The Niu Luezhen was there too. After hearing the Ming army's small flag, he still wanted to fight for it and said, "What if the war horse is given to you, but you don't let anyone go?"

"Haha, my Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. How could I be as untrustworthy as you barbarians!" The small Ming army flag heard it and couldn't help but sneer, "If you love it or not, if you don't believe in my Ming Dynasty, then say goodbye!"

After saying that, he really had to leave.

This time, this Niu Lue was really shocked! When was Minggou so arrogant?

However, Lord Turge was still in Minggou's hands, so he could only endure this tone! Niu Lue was really frustrated. He couldn't hold back his face and asked someone for help, so he had to wink Gu Luge.

Gu Luge was helpless, so he had to smile and say good things again, comfort the small flag of the Ming army, and promised to give it to the horse first, and at the same time he believed that Ming Dynasty would release people if he believed it.

So, the Tumote tribe sent people to drive the horses and followed the Ming troops back to the pass.

Seeing them leaving, the Niu Lue really spitted out "spray" and said viciously: "Ming Dog, who can't die well, make you arrogant. When you rescue Lord Turge, you must kill you Ming Dogs without leaving any armor!"

Gu Luge and Hang Gao who were standing next to him did not speak, and they all contempt in their hearts: If you really have this ability, why have you become a prisoner of the Ming Kingdom? It's true, you have also harmed us!

At the same time, the three-sided governor Zheng Chongjian had just arrived at the Rui Palace in Hanzhong. During this period, he was exhausted. Shaanxi was not small, and the vassal kings divided the vassals into various places. He rushed over and kept reading the imperial edict, and exchanged the silver notes and grain notes of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty he brought to money and grain.

He was delighted that the emperor's imperial edict was still useful in the end. Although the vassal kings could see that they were not willing, they finally took out money and food.

Of course, Zheng Chongjian also knew that this was related to the degree in the imperial edict. He did not emptiate the money and grain of the vassal kings in various places, but only asked them to take out a part of it. Now, after dealing with the money and grain of King Rui, he was about to rush back to deal with the Hetao incident.

But this time, he was in trouble.

It is very likely that King Rui had heard the news, so it took a lot of trouble to meet him and King Rui. King Rui seemed to have intentional, and when he finally summoned Zheng Chongjian, he was eating, eating pickles and radishes, and drinking porridge. Then, when Zheng Chongjian arrived, King Rui's grandson was still yelling, saying that he would not drink enough porridge, and not having enough rice, and eating white flour and steamed buns.

King Rui pretended not to see Zheng Chongjian had arrived, scolded his grandson, saying that his family's food had been stolen by others, and that only by saving money could he survive.

Zheng Chongjian knew this well and knew that he might not be successful in Prince Rui's Mansion this time.

Sure enough, when King Rui saw Zheng Chongjian outside the hall, he looked cold and unhappy. His grandson ran over to arrest Zheng Chongjian, shouting that Zheng Chongjian would compensate them for the food in the Rui Palace, and asked Zheng Chongjian to arrest those people and punish them severely.

As for his grandson's chaotic behavior, King Rui seemed to have not seen it, and let him make trouble for Zheng Chongjian. Anyone who saw this situation could know that it was instigated by Zheng Chongjian.

In theory, although Zheng Chongjian is the governor of the three sides, he is the minister of their Zhu family. Just like King Ta Rui is not the head of the family, he is the second master, the third master or the other, and is not at the same level as the servants in the family. If you make such a fuss, no matter how high Zheng Chongjian's official position is, it will not be easy to get into trouble.

The meaning of King Rui is that Zheng Chongjian is to embarrass him.

However, Zheng Chongjian did not think about being so angry, and immediately took out the imperial edict and shouted loudly: "The emperor has the will!"

This little bastard, you can scratch your head again. Now I am an angel, and it means the emperor!

However, King Rui was obviously very angry, so he pretended not to hear it, and was still drinking porridge slowly, asking his grandson to scratch for a while. Even his grandson knew that he was about to get out of scratch, so he scratched even harder and accidentally pulled off Zheng Chongjian's belt.

At this time, Zheng Chongjian and his subordinates were a little unable to bear it anymore and hurriedly shouted: "The emperor has given his order!"

The shout was almost broken through the hall. King Rui then shouted out his grandson and heard it as if he pretended to say, "Ah, there is a will! Look, I have only heard it when I am so hungry these days that I have heard it."

When I said this, there was a sarcastic look on my face, and I didn’t look like I had been hungry for a long time and was in a bad mood.

Zheng Chongjian did not accept his topic and immediately asked him to accept the order.

As a result, it was naturally as he was worried. King Rui spread his hands and began to pay his debts: "I want to contribute some effort to the country. After all, they are all descendants of Taizu! But you should also see that I have already reached the point of eating braised vegetables, so where can I get the money and food? It's not that I don't have the heart to do my best, I really can't take it out!"

Everyone knows whether the Rui Palace has money or not. If it were the past, Zheng Chongjian might be worried that the emperor would blame him, so he could only follow King Rui's wishes, for fear that if he made a big mistake, he, the three-sided governor, would not be able to escape and would definitely be punished.

But now, Zheng Chongjian roughly understood the emperor's intention from the emperor's will, so he still tried to complete the matters assigned by the imperial edict so that the border troops in Hanzhong could be appeased. Therefore, he said: "The Rui Palace was granted the title of the Wanli period to the twelfth year of Chongzhen today, although it only happened this time..."

When King Rui heard what he meant, he knew what he wanted to say. He immediately roared like an angry lion: "Do you think I am the only one? Do you know that the king wants to support my family? Is this world still the world of our Zhu family? He has robbed me of my head, is there any other kingly law? How are you, the governor? I want to report to the court and ask my nephew for an explanation, how did he be the emperor? He is so careless to the royal family? Do you still want to be the uncle of the emperor? Do you want to starve to death?

When he was roaring, his mouth was flying and he sprayed on Zheng Chongjian's face. If you want to avoid saliva on your face, you either retreat or use your sleeves to block it.

Maybe he had nothing to do when he was full and had developed a lot of combat power. He was like a legendary shrew, and he had no chance to speak. Obviously, in order not to take out money and food, he had already wanted his own identity.

In the end, Zheng Chongjian was spurted out of Prince Rui's Mansion. When the gate was closed, he could "bang" and then calm down.

Looking at his mess, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to his subordinates: "I underestimate King Rui's face!"

He didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a voice with a capital accent sounded from the side: "It seems that the Governor seems to be not going well in Prince Rui's Mansion!"

Zheng Chongjian was a little stunned when he heard this, and turned to look, but saw a group of strangers standing not far behind him. He knew that he was not an ordinary person at first glance. He couldn't help but be surprised and asked casually: "You are..."

After hearing this, the leader took out a jade plaque and signaled it to him, and said lightly: "Li Ruolian, commander of the Jinyiwei, hereby beg for the Governor General!"

When he heard this, Zheng Chongjian and his men were shocked and his face changed immediately.

Because the first thing they thought was that King Rui had already made trouble with the emperor, the emperor sent the commander of the Jinyiwei to deal with this matter, right?

Could it be that I misunderstood the emperor's meaning? In the end, it is the royal family that needs more family members?

Li Ruolian took back his waist card, walked towards Zheng Chongjian, and then said to him: "I have been to the deputy general Li Guoqi, and I have also seen the soldiers who robbed land rent. I have already understood the matter. I wonder if the Governor can tell me what happened in Prince Rui's Mansion? Why are they messed up? I am ordered to do it. You must know the truth, there must be no exaggeration or a little inaccurate."

After all, seeing Zheng Chongjian’s appearance as such should be another major case in the Chongzhen Dynasty, we must be more cautious.
