Ming politicians

() Lu Shanji is a Mongolian with a bold personality. Hearing Sun Chengzong's clarification of his intentions and Su Tiancheng's explanations, he immediately agreed. After returning home, he packed up immediately and followed him to Nanjing City to establish ZTE As for the suggestion of bringing his family to Nanjing, Lu Shanji was not polite and agreed to it.

Lu Shanji's Fu Gao is not in the county seat, it is more than [-] miles away from here

This made Su Tiancheng feel surprised. This seems a bit unlikely. Living in a village is very unsafe. If the Hou Jin cavalry came to harass him, what should he do? Ai Lu Shanji must be a local rich family. won't the golden cavalry pay attention

Lu Shanji also noticed Su Tiancheng's doubts, and explained with a smile that his family had nothing and was poor, so he didn't need to move to the county seat. Besides, his family didn't have that much money.

Su Tiancheng listened in awe

When the team arrived at a village, they set up camp on the spot. This was not at home, nor in the county town. There were not so many particularities. The rented houses were mainly used to accommodate Sun Chengzong's family members.

Su Tiancheng insisted on spending the night in the tent, saying that he was young and there was no problem

Lu Shanji was in high spirits, and drank a lot of wine during dinner

Most of the food along the way was brought by sergeants, and villages and towns may not be able to provide food for more than 100 people

Early the next morning, when Lu Shanji got up, he was in good spirits

Su Tiancheng was secretly surprised. He drank a lot of wine at night, and he was a little scared. Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji were both 71 years old and 60 years old, so don't get drunk and hurt your body. Think about what happened to them Without this time, he felt relieved. It seems that the bodies of the two old people are really good.

As the team set off, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji talked and laughed along the way, but Su Tiancheng mostly listened and rarely interrupted

walked twenty miles

The scout sent out came back with a nervous look on his face

Su Tiancheng knew something was going on, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was lucky enough to meet Houjin's cavalry?

"Report to my lord, about ten miles ahead, I found a small group of cavalry. Judging by their attire, they should be post-golden cavalry. This group of cavalry has more than [-] subordinates and arranged brothers. They are still investigating to see if they have reinforcements. "

Su Tiancheng didn't speak for a long time, and sure enough, he met the Queen's Golden Cavalry

He listened to the scout's report alone, without informing the two adults Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji

"Continue to investigate, we must find out the details, tell the investigating brothers not to expose themselves, and report the situation as quickly as possible."

A quarter of an hour later, there was smoke in the sky

Both Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji's expressions changed. This was the smoke from the Huoludun, indicating that the Houjin cavalry was coming to attack. They didn't expect that at this time, the Houjin cavalry came, how many people were there on the other side? What is the purpose of coming, I don't know at all, if there is a large group of people, without the encirclement of the Golden Cavalry, who knows what the consequences will be

There was a smile on Su Tiancheng's face, as if he didn't care at all

Sun Chengzong suspected that Su Tiancheng might not know what Wolf Smoke meant

"Master Su, there is smoke rising from the sky. This is a police report from the Hou Jin Cavalry's harassing soldiers. It is sent by the sergeants of Huoludun. I think it's better to be more careful."

Lu Shanji also nodded, agreeing with what Sun Chengzong said

"No need, two adults. The scouts have already detected the situation. The post-golden cavalry is ten miles away from here. There are more than [-] of them. The scouts are still investigating to see if there are more post-golden cavalry. Soon will report"

Sun Chengzong looked at Lu Shanji, his face changed a little

"Lord Su, for such an important matter, you should tell old man Ai and Shanji about the situation of the Golden Cavalry after they are familiar with it. You can remind me a little bit."

Su Tiancheng hurriedly confronted Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji chief inspector

"This junior didn't think carefully, for fear of disturbing the two adults, this junior must pay attention in the future."

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly

"Master Su, you must not underestimate the enemy Ai Hou's golden cavalry. When they enter the customs to harass and harass, the sergeants dispatched are usually one banner, 500 people. They go to villages and towns to harass and harass. They operate in units of Niulu. They are used to Running for thousands of miles, this place is not far from the capital. I don’t know what Hou Jin meant. Could it be that they were thinking of attacking the capital? In the second year of Chongzhen, this happened.”

Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong pondered

Su Tiancheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Sun Chengzong was thinking too far, he had better deal with the situation before him, the hundred scouts he brought were by no means vegetarian, even if the post-Golden Cavalry were brave, they might not be able to deal with the hundred scouts. People, unless the post-Golden Cavalry really dispatched a banner of 100 people

"My lord, don't think about the intention of the post-golden cavalry for the time being, and deal with the situation in front of you. The scouts will have news soon. The younger generation thinks that the main intention of the post-golden cavalry is probably to plunder and send out a sergeant with a banner , attacking the capital, I'm afraid they don't have such a big climate, if a large force moves, it is impossible not to have the slightest news."

Sun Chengzong shook his head and sighed

Lu Shanji spoke

"Lord Su, you are not very clear about the situation here. The news of the Ming army is extremely closed. This was the case in the second year of Chongzhen. The latter golden cavalry were about to come to the capital, and the soldiers didn't know it. This time, later The Golden Cavalry must have gone through long-distance raids. They are good at long-distance raids and surprises. Besides, there are some scum among the Han people who are just trying to survive and provide information for the later Golden Cavalry."

Su Tiancheng became serious. He couldn't imagine that the situation is so bad. What are the frontier troops doing? Don't they know about such a big military operation? They can't confront the cavalry full of Eight Banners head-on, at least the official station has to pass the news Ai Ruo's frontier army is afraid of the cavalry of the Eight Banners, all of them are shrinking turtles, not only the people here have nothing to rely on, but the capital is also in danger at all times

Suddenly, Su Tiancheng thought of Wu Sangui, thought of Guan Ning cavalry

After such a long time, he realized that the real Guanning cavalry had been completely lost in the Battle of Daling River. Today's Guanning cavalry cannot be compared with before. The army that can really be full of Eight Banners cavalry to fight against it no longer exists

No wonder so many people think of Jiangning Camp

"My lords, the younger generation really doesn't know about these situations, but there is no need for the two lords to overdo it. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, and it's nothing special to fill the Eight Banners. The younger generation is accompanied by brothers from the Jiangning Battalion Scout Battalion. They Experienced in hundreds of battles, brave and tough, even facing three hundred full Eight Banners cavalry, he will not be afraid."

As soon as the words fell, the scouts came

Looking at Su Tiancheng, the scout seemed a little hesitant. Beside Su Tiancheng, there were Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji.

"What's the matter, just say it"

"Yes, my subordinates have already investigated clearly. There are more than [-] post-golden cavalry in this group. They are divided into two groups. The front group has more than [-] people, and the rear group has more than [-] people. The distance is three miles. Within a radius of ten miles, no other post-golden cavalry was found, and they are only about seven miles away from us."

"Is the situation absolutely accurate"

"This subordinate pledges his life. Five teams of scouts have been sent out. They are divided into four directions: southeast, north, south, and north. Except for one group of scouts who have not yet returned, the remaining four teams of scouts have all returned. There is no other situation around them."

There was a trace of blood in the scout's eyes.

Su Tiancheng realized sensitively that the scouts must have seen something

"What else is going on, tell me all about it"

The scout gritted his teeth

"Those post-golden cavalrymen are beasts. Their subordinates saw it with their own eyes. They cut off the heads of common people and tied women to horseback. Some women were dragged behind the horse's tail with human heads hanging on their bodies. Some women , because he couldn’t walk, and was even dragged forward by a horse.”

Su Tiancheng is blind

"Did you see my Ming army along the way?"

The scouts looked at Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji, and it seemed difficult to say anything

Sun Chengzong sighed again and spoke

"Needless to say, the old man also knows that Huoludun must be tightly closed, and no sergeant will come out. At this time, they dare not make any moves at all. If they can take their own lives, everything will be fine. The common people here are already used to this kind of situation, and they can only flee for their lives when they encounter the harassment of the Houjin cavalry."

Just after Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Su Tiancheng spoke to Liu Tiehan who came over

"Liu Tiehan, tell all brothers to prepare for battle and wipe out this beast. No one will be left behind. Whether you surrender or not, you will be killed."

Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji looked at Su Tiancheng, thinking they heard it wrong

There are more than [-] people in the Eight Banners. Facing such a group of cavalry, even a thousand infantrymen of the Ming army would not dare to fight in the open. The sergeants of the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng were particularly brave. But after all, it is in the south, after all, it has never directly faced the cavalry of the Eight Banners

Moreover, the Jiangning Battalion was very brave when they exterminated the rogues, but the combat method of the rogues was completely different from that of the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry, who were inhumane and bloodthirsty. Immediate effort, really good

"Master Su, the old man is talking too much, should you be more cautious?"

Su Tiancheng shook his head lightly

"These beasts have repeatedly come to the pass to do evil and exterminate human nature. If the younger generation sees such a situation and does not take action to exterminate them, their conscience will be disturbed. The soldiers of my Jiangning battalion will also feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Don't worry, my lords, the younger generation will not be reckless. Yes, in the face of more than ten thousand bandits, the juniors have never been afraid, not to mention the beasts who are more than 80 years old."
