Borrow the day to change the day

"Chasing Bandit Fan from the tunnel, I didn't expect him to have someone guard the tunnel entrance, and then pour water into the tunnel. If Master Hou hadn't found the tunnel entrance first, his subordinates and others would have drowned in the tunnel."

When Yu Haijing told Zhong Jinwei, she felt a little worried. The tunnel was too long and narrow. It was impossible to get out of the tunnel entrance, and it was impossible to turn around and run back to the original entrance. The people inside were almost drowned.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he thought he was lucky.It's really a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse, and happened to come across this tunnel crossing. If it had waited foolishly at "Xiao Jinluan", many people would have died, and Fan Yongdou and Jianlu would have run away.

At this time, the drenched white soldiers had emerged from the yurt one after another, and they were all chased by Yu Haijing from the tunnel.

As soon as they got out of the yurt, they also saluted Zhong Jinwei one after another.

E Zhe just followed Zhong Jinwei, and was surprised to see soldiers continuously coming out of the yurt.

Zhong Jinwei saw that although they were not shivering from the cold because of their strong bodies, they had to be kept warm just in case.

Seeing Ezhe by his side, Zhong Jinwei asked him: "You see my people are freezing, can you help me out?"

Irzamu had just arrived at this time, and happened to hear Zhong Jinwei's words, and he quickly continued: "There happened to be a fire in my yurt over there, brothers from the Ming army, go over and roast." [

When Er Zhe heard this, how could he lag behind, and quickly expressed his opinion: "There is also a fire on my side, and the ginger water is still boiling, so go to my side."

Zhong Jinwei was very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them. He said with a smile: "Okay, we are all family members, so I will leave you alone. Yu Haijing, take your brothers over there."

"Yes, my subordinate obeys." Yu Haijing had already caught sight of the scene in the river, and knowing that Fan Yongdou could not run away, she took the white soldiers who got out of the tunnel into different yurts to warm themselves by the fire.

Zhong Jinwei watched the Mongols lead his subordinates past, then smiled and said to Ezhe and Yierzamu: "There is an old saying in our Central Committee, people respect me a foot, and I respect others. The love you just gave me Got it, just say hello to me if you need anything in the future, I will definitely help if I can."

Er Zhe's face suddenly burst into smiles, such a simple matter was exchanged for a promise, maybe he really needed the help of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty to fight for the Khan position in the grassland in the future.

He thanked repeatedly: "Small things, it should be, it should be."

Although Yierzamu was much calmer than Ezhe, it was a great joy to get a promise from the powerful Marquis of Daming, which was much better than going to the Liaodong Jurchen whom he didn't know.So far, Yierzamu no longer has the idea of ​​joining Jianlu, and focuses on Daming.

Zhong Jinwei didn't talk to them much, because he was still concerned about the battle on the ship.

When he turned around and looked over, he found that the white-rod soldiers in the water had climbed onto the boat one after another.

But before they rushed into the cabin, a person came out from inside, it was their commander Ma Xianglin.

The knife that Ma Xianglin had previously held in his hand had been inserted back into its scabbard, and his body was also stained with blood.After he gave his subordinates a few words, he said loudly to Zhong Jinwei on the shore, "Report to Lord Marquis, Fan Yongdou and Jianlu will be captured alive."

Zhong Jinwei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, okay, let's go back to shore."

Several of the white-armed sergeants on the ship entered the cabin, while the others used their spears as poles to propel the boat back to the shore.

And the white-armed soldiers on the shore also stretched out their spears to their comrades who were still in the water. The spears of the two sides hit each other, and the hooks on the guns hooked together, and then the soldiers on the shore pulled back hard. Faster than the boat, back to shore.

Zhong Jinwei had heard before that the spears of the White Army could be used to cross mountains and ridges, but he did not expect that they could be used to catch people in the water today. It is a multifunctional white gun, which is much more useful than the Swiss Army Knife of later generations. [

After the boat docked, the people inside were escorted out one after another by white-rod sergeants.

Fan Yongdou, his wife and children were inside, and there were two Jian prisoners, one was hit by a horse and was seriously injured.The other one seems to be gentle and gentle, not like ordinary Jianlu.

Zhong Jinwei had no interest in Fan Yongdou, who was already ashen-faced and knew that he was doomed. After his crimes were announced, the people in the capital could not spare him.

"Who are you, and what position do you hold in Jianlu?" Zhong Jinwei asked the uninjured Jianlu condescendingly on his horse.

The Jianlu didn't say a word, just glared at Zhong Jinwei angrily.

"Master Hou, this Jianlu probably doesn't understand Chinese." Seeing this situation, Ma Xianglin reminded Zhong Jinwei.

The corner of Zhong Jinwei's mouth twitched, thinking, how could it be possible that the person who came to Zhangjiakou to be in charge of trade could not understand Chinese.However, he pretended to agree on the surface: "It is estimated that the wild boar skin Nurhachi who brought them up to make trouble was just a servant of the Ming general before. I was out of breath when I spoke, let alone speak Chinese."

"You fart!" Jianlu's face flushed and he swears at Zhong Jinwei.

"Hehe, since you can understand Chinese, why don't you speak it? Is it because you are afraid of death and want to hide your identity? Seeing you like this, I guess you have this kind of virtue." Zhong Jinwei continued to tease, as if he hadn't heard the Jianlu's foul language at all. he said.

Jianlu raised his head and said loudly: "I am Hesheli Xifu, the imperial envoy of the Great Khan, and I am proficient in three languages: Jurchen, Han, and Mongolian. How could you, a Han dog, slander you?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he had never heard of this person's name, so he lost interest, waved his hand, and asked the white-armed soldiers to take him down.

In fact, Zhong Jinwei may not have heard of his name, but Zhong Jinwei must have heard of this man's nephew.Hesheli Xifu's nephew was Hesheli Sony, one of the four ministers in the early years of Kangxi.

So far, the eight major Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou, which are notorious in later generations, have all been captured.

Zhong Jinwei said to Kong Fang who had already come to him: "Lift the martial law, withdraw the troops and return to the camp."

Then he turned to Ezhe and Irzamu and said, "I'm busy with things, see you another day."

Erzhe and Yierzamu personally sent Zhong Jinwei out of the Mongolian camp, and then they couldn't wait to go back to discuss things.

Zhong Jinwei, under the escort of Ma Xianglin, went to Zhangjiakou Garrison Mansion.

The soldiers from all over the place began to gather at the same time, and the whole team returned to the camp.

When Zhong Jinwei walked to a shop, suddenly a young man rushed out of the shop.

Ma Xianglin had sharp eyes and quick hands, thinking it was an assassin, he took the gun in his hand and blocked Zhong Jinwei.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the person who rushed out "plopped" and fell to his knees.

When Zhong Jinwei saw this scene behind Ma Xianglin, he thought to himself that there would not be the plot of blocking the way and shouting for injustice in later movies and TV series.

It's a pity that he was wrong, and he just heard the man stand upright and said to Zhong Jinwei: "My lord is mighty, and I have spoken out for the people of Ming Dynasty. The grass people admire me so much, please be worshiped by the grass people." After speaking, he bowed down.

When Ma Xianglin heard it, it turned out that this person was not an assassin.Moreover, this person worshiped Zhongxing Hou, so it was inconvenient for him to stand in front of Zhong Jinwei.So, he turned slightly sideways to make room.He still held his gun, though, wary of the man.

The white pole army marching behind has surrounded him, and at the same time separated the man from the shop he came out of.There were still quite a few people crowding to watch at the entrance of the store, but no one had the guts to rush out.

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei understood that this person might have been bullied by the Mongols, and he might have seen what happened to him with the Mongols just now, so he rushed out to speak.

In fact, Zhong Jinwei can quite understand this person's thinking. In the hundreds of years of history, whenever the Chinese clashed with foreigners, the people who were hurt were often the Chinese. The government's weakness to the foreign people often hurt the feelings of the Chinese.

Every time Zhong Jinwei saw this kind of thing, he couldn't help sighing.

The person blocking the way was none other than Wang Yan. He witnessed Zhong Jinwei's whole affair, won another 50 taels of silver, and rushed out excitedly.

"Get up, the man has gold under his knees. The officials of the Ming Dynasty make decisions for the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is their job." Zhong Jinwei said kindly to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan stood up as he said, and then stood there a little at a loss.Zhong Jinwei smiled at him and left.

As soon as the soldiers were gone, the people in the shop rushed out and surrounded Wang Yan, saying that he was really brave.

But Wang Yan didn't respond to them. He looked at Zhong Jinwei's direction and muttered to himself: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty make decisions for the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is their duty!"

The shopkeeper's ears were sharp, and when he heard him talking to himself, he couldn't help but say to him: "That being said, how many people can do this? I don't know who this official is, but he is a good official." !"

Zhong Jinwei was unexpectedly tough on the Mongols, making the Mongols bow their heads and ears, making the shopkeeper a big winner.When he was in a good mood, he praised Zhong Jinwei without hesitation, and kept praising Zhong Jinwei's rarity to those guests.

Besides, after Zhong Jinwei returned to the garrison mansion, the secretary in charge of recording presented the statement of garrison Zhao Zhensong.

To Zhong Jinwei's surprise, Zhao Zhensong's statement contained the location of the secret warehouse where Fan Yongdou stored materials for Jianlu.Moreover, the confession clearly stated the large items inside, which made Zhong Jinwei very happy to see it.

After Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, he immediately wrote a memorial, and sent someone to send it to the capital to report everything that happened in Zhangjiakou.

And he himself continued to sit in Zhangjiakou. On the one hand, all kinds of properties obtained from house raids were still being counted, and on the other hand, he had to pay the frontier soldiers.

When Emperor Chongzhen received Zhong Jinwei's memorial, he immediately burst into laughter, which surprised Wang Chengen who happened to be serving him.

He didn't know what good news came from Marquis Zhongxing, which made Emperor Chongzhen laugh so recklessly, regardless of the emperor's etiquette.

After Emperor Chongzhen laughed enough, he happily said to Wang Cheng'en: "Master Zhong has earned me a large sum of money again. I can stop thinking about money for a while!"

Wang Chengen quickly bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen accepted Wang Chengen's congratulations frankly, and then said: "Wei Ni hid a large sum of money in the palace, and I didn't realize it at all. You go and get it out for me."
