Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

The volunteers began to evacuate in an orderly manner. The artillery fire from the rear roared again. The volunteers' fierce artillery fire at all costs completely blocked the Qing army's attempt to pursue. They could only watch 191 leave with regret.

"We can't just let it go like this, keep chasing!!"

You chase, I run away, and the two sides begin a continuous pursuit. However, in contrast to the previous time, the one running away in front looks very happy and at ease, while the one chasing behind has red eyes and is anxious.

"Mortar! Mark 487, 35 degrees to the right, ten minutes of fire coverage, quick, quick, quick!"

Orders were given one after another, and the whistling sounds of mortar shells were heard, exploding heavily in the Qing army camp. The Qing army, now desperate and red-eyed, had completely lost their original airtightness. Now they were only ferocious. However, how could a brainless beast possibly defeat a smart hunter?

Flying thunder cannons, mortars, mines, and artillery were used in turn, blowing the pursuing cavalry to pieces. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties all the way. It was not until several generals under Ajige gathered their troops in time that further casualties were prevented.

"We can't chase them anymore. The enemy's artillery is too fierce. If we continue to chase them, we will all die!"

"But, what about Lord Beile?"

"Send a message to the emperor. The other party did not kill the master directly. They must have some purpose. We can't defeat them at the moment. We must call for reinforcements from the rear."

"But....Alas, now, this is the only way."

Looking at the Eight Banners warriors howling in pain in front of them, the hearts of these generals are bleeding continuously. These are all their family assets... but now they have suffered such heavy casualties...

"Report to the commander, the mission has been completed perfectly! The enemy general Ajige has been captured by me, please instruct us on the next step of the operation."

191's communication rang in her ears, and the other party's tone was full of joy and excitement. It was obvious that she enjoyed the battle very much.

"You have done a great job, Mu Tao. Really great. I must reward you for such a great contribution! Next, you should bring Ajige to Yangzhou. I have a great use for him!"

"Yes!"

Although he was somewhat curious about what the reward the commander was talking about, 191 still continued to carry out Jiang Han's orders diligently.

"Don't worry, take a shower and rest for a while."

Jiang Han's tone softened a little. After a fierce battle, 191's body was soaked in blood. The white armor was now almost turning dark brown and was in great need of cleaning and repair. However, her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Okay Commander, I'll go right away."

She actually felt a little uncomfortable. It was very uncomfortable to have the blood sticking to her body. Even if Jiang Han didn't say it, she needed to clean the blood and weapons on her body as soon as possible.

After ending the call, Jiang Han excitedly walked towards the Xinzheng area: "Wang Dang! Wang Dang!!"

Wang Dang, who was handling business inside, came out immediately. Seeing Jiang Han's delighted expression, he had a feeling: "Is it done?"

"It's done!!"

Jiang Han patted Wang Dang's shoulder excitedly and said, "Hurry, hurry, we have two things to do now. First, hurry up and publish the newspaper to write about Mu Tao's achievements! I want the whole world to know that my general Mu Tao led thousands of troops to break into the Tartar army and captured the Tartar general Ajige alive. Second, hurry up and write a letter to Huang Taiji."

"Writing a letter to the Tartars? Why?"

"Why? Have you never seen kidnapping? Now that you have obtained the hostage, you must ask for some money, right? I have suffered a lot in this battle, and I have to make up for it. Tell me, how much money can a prince ask for?"

Volume 311: Chapter Chapter : I heard you are gifted

In Northern Zhili, inside the military tent, Huang Taiji was listening to Jirgalang's report on the current progress. Huang Taiji had followed Nurhaci in his campaigns since he was a child. He was a typical character who would never give up. Staying in Shengjing every day really made him feel suffocated. He had long wanted to come out to fight and relax. After finding an excuse to care about the situation on the front line, Huang Taiji went directly to the front line of Northern Zhili, leaving all the government affairs in the rear to his brothers and ministers who stayed behind.

"This is the current situation. The financial situation in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is very worrying. Even if we plunder, we can't get anything. So our army is preparing to march to the south. Ajige has already set out and must have arrived in Huai'an. When our subsequent reinforcements arrive, we can directly attack Yangzhou."

Jirgalang’s plan was very clear. I never thought of robbing poor people of their money. I always robbed people directly. Only rich people were worthy of being robbed by me.

The wild boarskins regarded the people of the Central Plains as leeks, and they would enter the pass to harvest them every time they grew a crop. But since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, they began to change their strategy as they realized their ambition to rule the Central Plains.

It was no longer for money or food, but for the purpose of bleeding the Ming Dynasty one by one. They wanted to slowly weaken this giant beast, which still had its might, and then give it a fatal blow. Therefore, they did not wait for the leeks to grow well, but kept harvesting, harvesting, and harvesting again, until the Ming Dynasty was exhausted and they would take over everything.

But, strategy is strategy, such a large army needs money and food to attack. Without money and food, they can only rob. If they cut too hard, the leeks will not grow. Then they can go to the places that have not been cut yet. Isn't Jiangnan a good place?

Now the Ming army is unable to stop them from moving southward. Doesn’t this just prove that their strategy is correct?

"Well, that's good. I'm always confident in your work. Next..."

Huang Taiji was about to talk to Jirgalang again, but a messenger rushed into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Yangzhou, saying it is for you."

"A letter from Yangzhou?"

Huang Taiji was stunned. I have nothing to do with Yangzhou. Who would write to me?

Jierhalang was also stunned. Is the emperor playing so extravagantly now? If you want a woman, can't you just marry her directly? Why are you still having a long-distance relationship? Is this the way of thinking after becoming an emperor?

Jirgalang's look made Huang Taiji feel a little uncomfortable: "What a mess! Why did Yangzhou receive a letter? What did it say?"

"This... Your Majesty, you should take a look at it yourself. It's about the Twelve Princes."

"Ajige? Has he arrived in Yangzhou? Present it to me."

While waiting for the eunuch beside him to pass the letter to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji began to spread it out and read it. It didn't matter what he saw, Huang Taiji fell silent after seeing it.

Jirgalang clearly felt that his royal brother's mood was beginning to change. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and his big hands, which were originally placed on his knees, had been clenched into fists.

"Your Majesty....Letter..."

"court death!!!!!"

A roar of rage erupted from Huang Taiji's burly body. He raised his fist and slammed it hard on the table. The huge force generated by his anger even made the wooden table wail in pain.

Huang Taiji was an emperor, but before that, he was a battle-hardened general.

Jirgalang stood up quickly. There were few things that could make his brother so angry. The previous letter said that the news might be related to Ajige, which made Jirgalang have some bad guesses.

"emperor......"

"Something happened to Ajige"

Huang Taiji's voice was so cold that it could almost freeze people to death.

"What! How is it possible! Ajige led 20,000 people... Is he injured?"

Who is Ajige? He is the twelfth prince of the Aixinjueluo family and the leader of the Zhengbai Banner! If he gets into trouble, it means that all the tens of thousands of troops will get into trouble. After all, it is impossible for someone to sneak in among the siege of tens of thousands of people and kill Ajige, right?

You know, although Ajige is not very smart, the price of his low intelligence is his strong military force. How can the Ming Dynasty have such a person? Jierhalang was the first to not believe it. His guess was that Jierhalang might have been injured by some stray arrows or shrapnel, and the army must not be in a good situation.

"It's worse than that.....He was captured alive"

"capture!!!?"

Jirgalang's voice broke due to his excitement: "How could he allow himself to be captured alive? What happened to the 20,000 troops?"

"Who the hell should I ask if you ask me? Who should I ask? Look for yourself!"

Huang Taiji was so anxious that he slammed the table. What a shame! The prince of the Aixinjueluo family, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, was captured alive and kidnapped. If this were to be made public, how would the other families view them? Huh?

Jirgalang unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

"Dear Mr. Huang Taiji, hello, I am your good neighbor Jiang Han

I guess you don’t know me yet and are very curious about my intention in writing to you this time, but it doesn’t matter, you will get to know me soon, and I believe that the memory will be very deep.

Your younger brother, Aisin-Gioro Ajige, is now in my hands. Yes, it is what you think. He has been kidnapped by us. It is quite difficult to catch him, and it has consumed a lot of my resources.

So as you can see, this is a blackmail letter. I have attached the required silver and evidence. I believe that a Beile of the Aixinjueluo family must be worth the amount I want.

We will send you another letter later to update you on the status of your brother. Of course, if you are not prepared for a long time, we will regard it as you have no intention of rescuing him. At that time, we will deal with your brother on our own.

That's it, it's rude to say it again, I wish you a nice day

Yours sincerely Jiang Han"

"Provocation!! I, Huang Taiji, have never been humiliated like this since I followed the late emperor to war! This is a naked provocation!"

Huang Taiji was so angry that he was fuming. After reading the letter, Jirgalang felt that Jiang Han was really like a giant panda ordering takeout. The bamboo shoots were delivered home. There was not a single dirty word in the letter, but the sarcastic tone that emanated from it was really enough to raise one's blood pressure, as if one could see that ugly face through the letter.

"Brother, calm down and be rational."

"How do you expect me to be rational?"

My brother is being treated like that, how can you expect me to be rational!

Jirgalang's face also grew heavy. Indeed, they knew very well what they would have to face if they were captured in the camp. If the enemy was one tenth as ruthless as they were, their brothers would probably have difficulty walking normally in the future.

"Then Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Prepare the silver!"

"You really want to pay money to redeem me?"

"Bullshit! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would smile even if I got hit in the face? Take the money and start an army!"

The veins on Huang Taiji's forehead kept throbbing, and he said with a ferocious look: "If you dare to set your sights on us, you must be prepared to be killed. The army is heading to Yangzhou. I will chop this Jiang Han into pieces!"

Meanwhile, Yangzhou.

"Gu, Haneohba (Kill me)"

Ajige was in a complicated mood at the moment. He was tied with iron chains in the interrogation room, like a blind bear in a trap. He stared at Jiang Han with red eyes, trying to provoke the other party to kill him so that he would not be tortured by shame.

He was a Beile of the Aisin-Gioro family and the leader of the Plain White Banner. He was captured alive on the battlefield and became a prisoner. Even if he was rescued, he would become a laughing stock of the world. When people mentioned Ajige in the future, they would no longer talk about his heroic feat of killing Man Gui, but would say, "Wow, isn't this the Ajige who was captured alive?"

Just imagining it made Ajige want to die, but he couldn't die now. His limbs were tied with thick iron chains and an iron ball was stuffed in his mouth, which prevented him from even biting his tongue to commit suicide.

"You're really perverted. I think at least she has to be a woman, right?"

45 teased Jiang Han while chewing a cucumber.

"How the hell do I know he looks like this? I just got here too."

Jiang Han was so confused. What kind of homosexual scene was this? This look was too eye-catching. "And wasn't it someone from your intelligence team who arranged this? Why don't you look for the reason in yourself?"

Jiang Han turned the tables.

"Huh?" 45 turned his head and said, "How did you get into this situation? Didn't I tell you how to deal with it?"

Several members of the intelligence team looked very innocent: "We arranged him according to your wishes, sir. You said that we need to control the opponent's limbs. The target is very strong, so it is recommended to use high-strength restraint tools. In addition, the mouth needs to be filled to prevent the opponent from biting his tongue to commit suicide or biting off his tongue to cut off the information transmission..."

"That's what I said, but I didn't ask you to stuff a ball... Forget it, let's get down to business, Commander, you are really something now, you are always talking about irrelevant topics in such a serious occasion."

Jiang Han: “?”

Didn't you start it? You really are a fool.

"never mind"

Sighing, Jiang Han turned his head and came to Ajige, looking at the other party's angry appearance who kept twisting and turning, with a look of emotion: "It's our first meeting, you probably haven't seen me before, but it doesn't matter, you will remember me soon"

Jiang Han frowned and shrugged his nose: "Why is it so smelly? Bring some water to wash our General. We still need to give our prisoners of war adequate treatment."

Soon, many people came to Ajige with buckets of water and started to clean his body with brushes. These brushes were used to clean mud from pigs before slaughtering them in slaughterhouses. They were quite hard in texture. Soon Ajige was brushed all over, like a red-skinned duck.

"Put that thing in his mouth down."

"But sir, if he bites his tongue and commits suicide..."

Jiang Han frowned: "You are so bad at thinking. He bit his tongue to commit suicide. You just pull out his teeth. What can he bite with? You work in intelligence, so you have to be flexible."

Several interrogators were suddenly enlightened: "Yes, why didn't we think of it? They turned around and went to find pliers."

Ajige felt cold all over after hearing this. What kind of beast was this? If he pulled out his teeth, would he still be alive? If he became Jirgalang without teeth, wouldn't he not be able to eat meat in the future?

"Wuwuwuwuwu, my curry wooden bowl, (I'm not done with you) Li Dongliwu (You touched me) My royal brother will tear you into pieces!)"

"Oh my, Mr. Ajige, you didn't think you could get out alive, did you?"

Jiang Han looked at the other person in surprise.

"When you entered our place, you were already dead. It's just that I get to choose how you die. As for the deal with your brother, it's just a waste utilization. After all, if I don't use you to send a signal, how can I seduce your brother?"

Hearing this, Ajige's pupils shrank slightly. What did he mean by seducing me? He wanted to use me as a trap? Before he could think of it, several interrogators came over with pliers.

"In this interrogation room, some common tools must be prepared. Look, at this critical moment, I still have to go out and find pliers. The preparation work in advance is not good enough."

Jiang Han said slowly, "It's ridiculous to go to the battlefield without a gun. How come there's not even a pair of pliers in your interrogation room? Shouldn't such small hardware accessories be kept at home?"

45 silently glanced at Jiang Han. Is it possible, I mean possible, that your birth level is beyond these people's imagination?

"I'm very sorry sir, we will pay attention to this issue next time"

Several judges were very nervous. This was a very serious mistake that was pointed out by their immediate immediate immediate immediate superior.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just be more careful next time. Young people will always make mistakes. It's okay as long as you can correct them. Okay, let's do it."

Several interrogators nodded and stepped forward. They had just been pointed out by the boss that they had made mistakes at work, so they had to perform well next time. They had to make sure not to leave even the wisdom teeth behind when extracting teeth. Amid Ajige's terrified eyes and his roars of constant struggle, several interrogators stepped forward with pliers, and then there were the constant collisions of the iron chains and Ajige's painful howls.

Jiang Han looked at everything in front of him coldly without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, commander, where are you now? There are a few people here looking for you. They said they have a document for you to sign."

"Oh, I'm in the interrogation room. Tell them I'm busy right now. Just leave your things there. I'll go check them out later."

"Okay, no problem Commander, Commander, why do I hear a man moaning over there? What's going on? What are you doing?"
