Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 250 My name is King Jinzuo

Ganzhou (Zhangye), a thousand-year-old city wall, a general walked slowly along the city bricks. He was nearly forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was not angry but powerful. This is the great thief of the generation, He Jin, King of Zuojin.

This person has been a thief for a long time. At the Xingyang Conference, he was already one of the thirteen families. Together with Laohui Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Liyan He Yilong, Contending World King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled World Wang Lin Chengcheng, he was also known as the "Fifth of Gezuo" camp". When he was a bandit, according to the rules, he had to have a loud bandit trumpet. The old man said loudly: "My name is 'Jin'. The left radical of 'Jin' has gold, so I will call myself 'King Zuo Jin'." Everyone looked at him with admiration. These days, there are few scholars, and there are even fewer scholars among rebel thieves. Everyone's bandit names are very vulgar, but he can think of such a "cultured" bandit name, which is naturally worthy of admiration. .

This is a man who knows the current affairs. When Kaifeng was captured, Li Zicheng was elected as the "Civil and Military General of the Fengtian Advocating Righteous Camp". When he went south to Huguang, Xiangyang and other places, he was promoted as the "Civil and Military General of the Fengtian Advocating Righteous Camp". There was a situation where "hundreds of rivers are diverted and merge into the sea". situation. Without saying a word, he defected to Li Zicheng. The other senior officers rebelled against the bandits, so Li Zicheng beheaded Luo Rucai, He Yilong and other bandit leaders. For a time, Rucai and his subordinates were in an uproar. He sided with Li Zicheng in the "Luo and He Incident" and contributed a lot to the aftermath. Therefore, he won the trust of King Chuang and was appointed as the general in control, "on the right side of the generals."

Later, Li Zicheng ordered him to march westward to eliminate the remaining Ming forces in Gansu and Qinghai. King Zuo Jin then left in high spirits with his so-called 200,000 troops. Lian Ke settled in Lanzhou, Zhuanglang, Liangzhou, Shandan, Ganzhou, and Suzhou. He killed Zhu Shihong, the king of Mingsu, Lin Rirui, the governor of Gansu, and Ma Xu, the commander-in-chief, and took control of Ningxia and Gansu. , and pointed the sword at the Xining Guard in Qinghai.

He is very loyal, and he is the most disdainful of a villain who can only rely on the wind to make things happen. During the attack on Lanzhou, Su Wang Zhu Shihong fled out of the city in a hurry, but was captured by Yang Qi, the outgoing commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, as a gift for surrendering to the rebel army. Because I hate this man who betrays his master and seeks glory. Since he cannot be loyal to Ming Dynasty, how can he be loyal to Dashun? Not only was King Su executed, but Yang Qi and his son were also beheaded.

He is happy with revenge. When he was young, he was fond of gambling and playing with guns and sticks, which ruined his family property. He was expelled by his brothers and lived on the streets of Ganzhou begging for food. Because he was begging in his prime, people thought he was lazy and lazy, and because of his arrogant attitude, Ganzhou people hated him very much. When they saw him coming from a distance, they would hide behind closed doors. Some even cursed him with unpleasant words and even released vicious dogs to bite him. . It was difficult for him to get anything, so he vowed to kill all the people in Ganzhou one day. But there was a woman named Wan in Wanjia Alley of Changshou Street, who was widowed and childless, and was very charitable. One day, she saw her fainting at the entrance of the alley because she had not been able to eat for days, had typhoid fever, was sick and hungry, and felt pity for her. After he was rescued, he was provided with clothing, transportation, and food, and was advised to make a living elsewhere. Later, he became the commander-in-chief of Dashun. He captured Ganzhou and carried out massacres, resulting in many casualties among soldiers and civilians. He only protected Changshou Street from massacre, leaving behind a story of "He Jin washes Ganzhou and protects Wanjia Lane". .

After conquering Ganzhou, no one in Ningxia or Gansu dared to be their enemy. However, the Xining Guards in Qinghai refused to surrender. Qi Tingjian, the commander of the Xining Guards in the Ming Dynasty and the ninth chieftain of the Tu ethnic group of Xiqi, united with the chieftain of Xifu Li Hongyuan, Shengyuan Hu Lianqi, the chieftain of Zhuanglang in Gansu Province Lu Yinchang, and the Tibetan Qianhu Wanjin of Huangyuan Shenzhong in Xining, etc. Alliance, resist tenaciously.

Naturally, there is nothing much to say to these guys who don't understand destiny, just suppress them. He ordered his lieutenants Lu Wenbin and Qi Zhizhen to lead thousands of soldiers and horses across the Qilian Mountains from Hexi and march south to Xining. The number of troops was said to be fifty thousand. He also secretly ordered Huang Cheng, a man from Nianbo (Minhe) in Qinghai, and a man from Zhenhaibao in Xining who had joined the army. Anbang responded. It went well at first. Under the slogan "Welcome King Chuang, don't accept food", soldiers and civilians from all over the country defected to the rebels one after another. But Qi Tingjian, Lu Yinchang and others were local snakes and were familiar with geography. The Dashun army came from afar and were not familiar with the terrain and were not adapted to the cold and hypoxic environment. They suffered a defeat. Lu Wenbin died in the battle, and more than 3,000 rebel troops Killed in action.

When the news came back to Ganzhou, the rebel He Jin almost went crazy. Since the Western Expedition, he had been invincible, but he didn't expect that the ship capsized in the small Xining. He ordered his subordinates to stock up military supplies in Ganzhou and prepare to go south to attack Xining.

After conquering Ganzhou and Suzhou, they controlled the trade routes of the Silk Road, and could continuously obtain war horses and food from Turpan and Hami. The Great Khan of the Huite tribe and now the emperor of Weiguo, Suletan, was extremely They attach great importance to trade and have a good relationship with Dashun, so there is no shortage of war horses and food. What is lacking is the ordnance for combat. The Weiguo's smelting capabilities are weak, and the ordnance produced is not enough to meet the country's needs, so naturally there is no excess to sell to him. He could only put his mind to the Shanxi businessmen. These giant businessmen had great hands and eyes, and it was not difficult to smuggle some military supplies to themselves.

"Master Zhangpan, no, General Zhi, General Xin sent a military report and detained Jiexiu Fan's caravan at Jing'an Fort." A confidant reported to King Zuo Jin who was patrolling the city.

"Mediator Fan?"

He Jin had heard of the name of this company, and raised his eyebrows, "Let's go, follow this general to Jingan Fort."

Qi Chongge, Wu Erten, and Fan Sanba stared at the group of thieves in front of them in panic. There were two people at the head. One of them had two swords on his back. He looked ferocious and full of murderous intent. The other one had thick eyebrows and big eyes and was very kind. He only wore a sword, but the evil spirit he released was much stronger than the two swords. "Who is the young shopkeeper of the Jiexiu Fan family?" the general with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked.

"They are just ordinary people, who are you?" Fan Sanba asked bravely.

"I will congratulate you."

When he heard this name, Fan Sanba's heart skipped a beat, "See the general."

"No gift," He Jin chuckled. "Don't be alarmed, young shopkeeper. I detained Fan's fleet just to have a good relationship with Fan. I hope you will bring more pig iron, saltpeter, sulfur and other military supplies in the future. Don't worry, I will pay according to the price."

After paying ten loads of pig iron and agreeing to smuggle ordnance for He Jin, Fan's convoy passed through Xining smoothly and arrived at the big and small Ulan Heshuo in Qinghai. This was once the place where the Imperial Guard Khan suffered a disastrous defeat, and now it has become the grazing place of the Heshuote people.

Dayan Ozil Khan led Hanak Tushetu, Omubu, Dalantai, Ayushi, Yilduzi, Dorji, Sangharzha, Gonbuchahun, and Bingtudaleuba Shi, Maozilake and Zhu Taiji welcomed the envoys of the Qing Dynasty.

When receiving the imperial edict, everyone knelt down except Ajia Hutuktu of Kumbum Monastery. This great monk was born in the A family of the Li family in Huangzhong, Qinghai. He was an important political ally of Dayan Oqil Khan. Kumbum Monastery is the birthplace of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug sect. His status is transcendent, so he can naturally Don’t kneel.

Because Emperor Qianyuan refused to dominate Gelug, Ajia Hutuktu was extremely dissatisfied and instigated Dayan Ozir Khan to become an enemy of Weiguo. As the son of the national preceptor Khan, Dayan Ozil Khan originally had a grudge against Suletan for killing his father, but he was weak in power and close to the Huite tribe, so he dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out. Now that he has received assistance from the Qing court, he is more courageous.

The Qing government was very generous, providing fifty tiger cannons, six hundred fire guns, eight hundred suits of cotton armor, eight hundred bows, one thousand spears, two thousand swords and shields, and three hundred pieces of cloth to the Junggar people. Much more. If it weren't for the fear of being discovered by the intruder army, even the general cannon would have been sent.

In a time of great competition, for example, in Yiqi, Dorgon, holding the black chess piece, made the first move.
