Huang Tengyuan said: "It seems that these people entered Uncle Dingyuan's territory to rob, were killed by private soldiers, and then hung here to frighten the rebels."
Tong Jianye stared at him and pinched his teeth, and said coldly: "Uncle Dingyuan has always been ruthless, cruel and easy to kill. As long as you encounter him on the battlefield, not many people can survive. I didn't expect that he was not at home, and his two Madam is also so cruel. It’s really not like one family doesn’t stay in the same house.”
Huang Tengyuan said: "Let alone the enemy, even his soldiers are not much better. As long as you follow him on the battlefield, you can never escape. There are no deserters under him. Either they will be hacked to death by the enemy, or they will be hacked to death. There is no other way to go. He has thought of all the ways you can think of to escape. They will be blocked for you. If you don’t kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you. You can’t run away. No matter how bad the troops are, You have to grit your teeth and fight hard, because you have no choice at all. After a big battle, the casualties are staggering. It is common for half of them to die."
Tong Jianye said: "I heard that the two wives of Uncle Dingyuan were both from Dongchang. No wonder they are so cruel. I have warned those rebels long ago not to go to Uncle Dingyuan's territory to rob. It's a pity that these guys heard that Zunhua I’m so rich that my eyes are red. You treat my words as farts. Now, let’s hang them here to dry and wait for the New Year, hum!”
Huang Tengyuan said: "Although you and I have high official positions in this uprising, and everyone recommends you and me to be the leader, we can't restrain them. The soldiers and horses who have risen to cause trouble this time are hundreds of groups, large and small, and they are not a large army. Where can we You really listen to us."
Tong Jianye sneered and said: "They are not fools. This is intentional. On the surface, they push you and me to host it, but in their hearts they want the first rafter to die first. They can enjoy the shade under the big tree, and they don't hide it when they rob something." People pay attention. We did not benefit from them, but instead became the target of the court's attention."
Huang Tengyuan said: "At that time, in that situation, there was no turning back. Unite as many people as you can. The trouble you and I have caused this time has been big enough. As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you will not bite them, and if you have too many debts, you will not bite them. Worry. Let’s be careful about Uncle Dingyuan’s private soldiers. This is already within the scope of his territory. His soldiers are not easy to mess with. If it weren’t for the Xinghe regiment training to help out this time, our victory or defeat would still be in doubt. .”
Tong Jianye said: "Uncle Dingyuan is still smart. On the battlefield, we eliminate the weak and keep the strong. No one in the court can say anything. If the number of soldiers is reduced, they can just eat empty pay. Who knows how many of his men died. Those who survived They are all elite soldiers. After a few battles, the team has been trained well. Killing two birds with one stone is really a good plan."
Huang Tengyuan glanced at him and said nothing. A villain thinks that everyone is a villain. He is greedy for military pay, so he thinks that Uncle Dingyuan thinks the same way. He knew clearly that the young and outrageous newcomer was not greedy for money at all, not even a copper coin.
The kind of person who is not greedy for money is scary.
Huang Tengyuan didn't intend to break up with him, he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible. One more minute here is one minute more dangerous. God knows what those two female Rakshasa will think. After all, fighting against the rebels is a smooth battle now, and the credit is for nothing. Didn’t you see that the entire Ji Town took action?
When they were causing chaos in various places, the soldiers and guards of the camp didn't know where they hid. Now, they are all popping up again to catch the rebels.
Each of them had different reasons for rebelling.
Huang Tengyuan was framed by Shangguan, who wanted to kill him and take away the fifteen hundred soldiers he had trained so hard. Tong Jianye just had his eyes on his butt, and started trouble for Ah Fu Shangguan. As a result, he offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, and they wanted to take advantage of this time to get the Qing army to mess with him. He was never a good person.
The other officers who rebelled were lower-level officers with lower official positions than the two of them. Naturally, the rebellion was dominated by the two of them.
Others rebelled, mostly because of lack of pay. There are also problems such as conflicts with Shangguan and being bullied. Various problems in the Ming Dynasty's army have been around for a long time and are very acute. This time Wang Yingzhi did something stupid, and was interfered with again, intensifying the conflict, and the result was that the conflict broke out.
When Huang Tengyuan escaped, he didn't want to take Tong Jianye with him. He stuck with him on his own.
Huang Tengyuan's eyes flashed, thinking about when to get rid of him. Where he goes, he doesn't intend to let this
The guy went too.
Along the way, Huang Tengyuan had been marching and had very little time to sleep. Eat some dry food and drink some water, and continue on the road. As for those who can't keep up with him, he doesn't care. He only cares about his thousand elite soldiers. Another five hundred people were at the two Great Wall passes.
The place he was looking for was a fort that had been abandoned. It's called Wild Boar Castle. It was originally a thousand-household residence, but was abandoned during the Jiajing period. The walls there are well preserved and most of the houses have not collapsed. Just clean it up and use it.
There are more than a dozen small river forks in the surrounding area. Although the land has been abandoned for hundreds of years, it can still be cultivated with a little repair.
Now the Mongols in Monan have been cleared. He has fifteen hundred elite soldiers under his command, and he is not afraid of horse bandits. When he arrived outside the fortress, he took off his mandarin duck war jacket, forged swords into plowshares, formed a village with his brothers, and settled down.
He didn't know what Tong Jianye's plan was, but he wasn't going to take him with him. He would find a way to get rid of him once he got out of the confinement.
Huang Tengyuan was thinking about it when the team finally arrived at Da'ankou.
The guard at Da'ankou is a guard named Chen Xing, who was brought out by Huang Tengyuan. At this time, Chen Xing and his men were waiting for Huang Tengyuan under the closed door.
"Sir, you are finally here. I was afraid that you would be entangled by Zhou Yuji and unable to get out." Chen Xing said with cupped hands. "It's safe now, sir. Let's go to Guancheng and take a rest. I've prepared soup, rice and horse feed."
"I'm interested. Brother, I'm in trouble and I've come to seek refuge with you. I'm causing trouble for you." Huang Tengyuan said with his hands in hand.
"Sir, what are you talking about? Back then, I was an orphan who herded sheep and fed hundreds of families. Without you, my lord, to take me into the camp, I wouldn't be where I am today. Let's go to Guancheng and get drunk."
"Hahaha, I know you are reliable, let's go to the city." Huang Tengyuan did not introduce Tong Jianye at all. Tong Jianye secretly praised Huang Tengyuan for his ability in getting things done. At this time, on the way to escape, no one wanted to reveal their name and let the court know where they were going.
Chen Xing actually let them enter Guancheng without asking. It can be seen that this person is Huang Tengyuan's direct descendant.
Da'ankou Pass is not a big city. The Great Wall winds between the two mountains and is divided into two walls at the pass. Between the two city gates is a small Guancheng with a length of only three hundred meters. An official road with bluestone slabs leads to the outside of the fortress. There are low adobe thatched houses on both sides. There is only a courtyard next to the small square in the middle. It can be regarded as the garrison's government office.
There are also more than a dozen grain warehouses. In the open space between the government office and the mountain. This is a relatively important food supply station.
Tong Jianye looked at the two people walking in front of him and thought about finding an opportunity to chat with Huang Tengyuan alone. I have connections in Shenyang. If we could drag tens of thousands of people to Shenyang, we might as well get the leader of the Han military flag.
He knew that there were only seven or eight thousand elite soldiers under one banner leader of the Eight Banners. Now there are only 5,000 people in this team. The stragglers behind are still fleeing here. After a few days of repairs here, we can gather a lot of people.
