Chapter 631
After hearing this, Shen Yiyuan seemed a little unwilling, and didn't answer, but just raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see a flower.

Seeing Shen Yikui, he sighed inwardly.Even he himself, why is he willing to be under Li Zicheng's subordinates all the time.Judging from the current situation, it is obvious to all that the imperial court is vigorously building the Hetao area.Regardless of whether they are Han or Mongolian, as long as they are under the rule of the naturalized governor, at least they can guarantee no worries about board and lodging.Without any worries, who wouldn't want to take another step forward and get ahead!

Just as he was thinking, he heard Shen Yiyuan shout loudly: "There is someone in front!"

Shen Yikui quickly looked up, and sure enough, there were some black spots moving at the other end of the small lake.It's just that it's too far away to see the situation clearly.

"Go, let's go up!" Shen Yiyuan did not hesitate, and immediately drove the horse to speed up, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Follow me!"

The five hundred cavalry followed suit, and Shen Yikui, who was following him, was still a little hesitant, thinking that if it was the Mongols, this place was obviously someone else's territory!

Contrary to his hesitation, Shen Yiyuan seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, wishing to rush to those black spots.Shen Yikui wanted to remind his brother several times, but looking at his excited expression, he probably wouldn't listen, so he had no choice but to stop.

Getting closer, getting closer.Faintly, he could already see a little bit of the situation ahead.This time, Shen Yikui was surprised.

I saw the front of those people in the distance, judging from the clothes and flags, it should be from Daming.And behind them, there are dozens of times as many people as them, about [-] riders.Not escorting, but chasing and killing more than a dozen people from Daming who were desperately fleeing ahead.

"It's the messenger sent by Lord Zhongcheng!" After seeing it clearly, Shen Yiyuan felt as if he had been spat out, ignoring the Mongols, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, those bastards are chasing and killing the messenger, kill me! "

While talking, he speeded up again, and there was a faint sign of a ride.

Seeing Shen Yikui, he quickly turned his head to look at the subordinates behind him, and shouted loudly: "Our chance to be rewarded for our meritorious service has come. Anyone who wants to honor our ancestors will be killed!"

"Kill!" The five hundred riders became excited. Naturally, none of them wanted to open up wasteland, nor did they want to build houses. Now that they really had the opportunity to kill the enemy, how could they miss it!

Those people in the distance obviously also spotted this cavalry army, and those Ming people who were currently fleeing immediately adjusted their direction and fled towards them.And those Mongolians who were chasing down obviously slowed down, but it seemed that the leader was shouting something, and then started to speed up again.But with such a delay, they will be a little far away from the target they are chasing and killing.

Both sides are cavalry, and they are still accelerating. It didn't take long for the two teams to meet.As the saying goes, when two armies meet, the brave wins!Shen Yiyuan's cavalry is mostly former frontier cavalry. Like Shen Yiyuan, they are eager to make military exploits, so they all stepped forward bravely.But those Mongols were obviously hesitant, and the morale gap was immediately reflected in the battle.

A hedge, both sides dropped a lot of people down.Shen Yiyuan's cavalry army turned a corner without hesitation, and started another round of attack.But the Mongols hesitated, some reined in their horses and stopped, some turned to prepare to hedge, and some turned and fled far away.

After the second round of hedging, it was obvious that the Mongols fell a lot more. By the third round, the Mongols had no courage to charge again, but took the road and fled.

"Yikui, clean up the battlefield!" Shen Yiyuan shouted loudly, and waved his hand again: "Brothers, chase me!"

"Brother, be careful!" After Shen Yikui yelled in response, he immediately directed his men to clean up the battlefield, capture the enemy, rescue his comrades, and collect heads and dead and wounded horses.And he himself greeted those Ming people who had turned around again.

The leader was indeed a civil servant, brought by Baotou Governor Yang Sichang. He was out of breath with exhaustion, but his face was full of gratitude, and he cupped his fists on the horse's back and said, "Thank you brothers for your timely rescue. The official will definitely ask for credit for you in front of Lord Zhongcheng!"

Shen Yiyuan was very happy to hear that, and he quickly asked, "My lord, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, the civil official surnamed Wang gave a general account of the situation.

It turned out that he was sent to the western grasslands to visit various tribes of Mongolia.Declare the ownership of the Hetao area, and announce that Baotou can open a border city to make friends with the Mongolian tribes in the west and stabilize the situation in the west, so as to give the Hetao side time for construction.

At the beginning, everything went well, and all the Mongolian tribes were very interested in the border market.But they are not stupid, they know what Daming needs at this time, so the larger tribes, such as the Zhungeer tribe and the Heshuote tribe, have to negotiate terms, try to expand the scope of trading in the border market, and reduce the price of Daming goods. Get enough benefits.

The smaller tribes, such as the Duerbert tribe and the Torghut tribe, were very happy at the beginning.But later, the attitude suddenly cooled down.Later, it happened to be discovered that it was the people from Bushitu who visited these Mongolian tribes, and proposed to take advantage of the unstable foothold of Ming Dynasty to jointly seize Tumochuan, which is the Hetao Plain, and then divide the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall together.

Those Mongols who chased them down were Bushitu's men and horses.Trying to kill them, ruined the hope of those Mongolian tribes and Daming getting along well.

By the time the explanation here was almost finished, Shen Yiyuan had already returned excitedly, and had won more than ten heads.In this battle, 120 people were killed and 68 were captured; on their own side, 63 people were killed and 85 were injured.

As soon as they returned to Baotou, the situation was reported to Mr. Zhong Cheng.Yang Sichang immediately sent someone to send the news to Guihua City in an urgent manner.

At this time, on the side of Guihua City, the assistant minister Xue Guoguan also escorted a batch of grain.The military situation was reported to Emperor Chongzhen in the capital through Li Guo and Lu Ruipeng.He immediately convened the cabinet and six ministers, and held a special meeting with the naturalization side.

"My dear friends, how should I, Ming Dynasty, deal with this matter?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with a serious face.

After hearing this, Wen Tiren first came out and said: "Your Majesty, North Korea is preparing for war now. I think that the Western Mongolia side might as well agree to their conditions first, so as to isolate the Bushitu tribe and win the battle for the construction of the Hetao area." Time. When Liaodong comes to an end, our Daming can gain a firm foothold in Hetao, and then settle accounts with these Mongolian tribes!"

His focus at this time is the domestic economy, so he doesn't want to start a war on both sides.His point of view was supported by Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and others.

However, Hong Chengchou expressed his opposition through the chat group.

 The next chapter will be around noon, thanks to Warrior Tao Yuanming for the reward!
