200 miles east of Huining City, outside the west gate of Mulan River City, Ma Jia Tuhai, a thin and semi-old man with gray hair and gray beard, was riding on a horse. He wore a robe that looked too large and was blown away by the strong wind in the wild. It makes a hunting sound.
Hundreds of soldiers from Mulan River City were neatly dressed and lined up in formation, just waiting quietly. Although these soldiers were in neat battle formations and wore heavy cloth-covered armor, they were not armed, and everyone had empty hands. So they are not going to fight the enemy, but to welcome some kind of distinguished guest. But the expressions on each of their faces did not show any trace of joy. Instead, Ma Jia Tuhai felt uneasy.
Ma Jia Tuhai was an important Manchu minister from Zhenghuang Banner. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he joined Duduo. After Duduo's death, he became a person whom Doni relied on. After Doni's misfortune, he ran to Aobai's subordinates and was killed by Aobai. He went to Mulan River City, which was only more than 200 miles away from Huining City, and became a city lord. Nowadays, most of the manors in Heilongjiang and Andong are called "villages". Only some large manors that have a large number of military and civilian households directly under the jurisdiction and also manage some surrounding villages can be called "city".
Mulan River City is such a big city, with as many as 400 military and civilian households under its direct jurisdiction, and it also manages six surrounding small estates - these six small estates have their own owners, and they do not submit to Mulan River City. Mulan River City was only responsible for recruiting troops and food from the six villages, and maintaining order and security.
If the Ma Jia family in Mulan River City is allowed to develop freely, maybe in a few generations, the Ma Jia family will be able to turn these six villages into their own territory.
But how could Emperor Zhu of Yingtian allow a wealthy Manchu family like the Ma Jia family to quietly grow and develop in Heilongjiang to the point where they could pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty? After more than ten years of stability, Ao Bai and Yue Le were unjustly accused and ran away to "surrender" to the Rakshasa Kingdom!
When Obai was running away, he also looked for Tuhai and wanted to pull him to run with him. But Ma Jia Tuhai also received a personal letter from Jin Dongguo, asking him to stay safely in Mulan River City and not go anywhere. Good things will come to him when the time comes.
Tuhai originally didn’t want to go to Siberia to drink the northwest wind... The place he wanted to go to the most was Beijing! He used to have a large and spacious courtyard house in the Second Ring Road of Beijing. What a nice house. Now he thinks about it every day and just can't go back.
If you can't go back to Beijing, you can live in Tianjin for retirement. Tianjin is very lively now and is the most prosperous place in the north. If you can't go to Tianjin, you have to go to Shenyang to retire. He grew up in Shenyang, and Shenyang is his real hometown!
So after Tu Hai made some money in Mulan River City, he asked people to buy houses in Tianjin and Shenyang! Oboi actually wanted to drag him to Siberia to conquer the world... He went with him only because he was out of his mind!
Therefore, after receiving Jin Dongguo's letter, he waited calmly in Mulan River City, and then he received the news that the prince led his army to the north.
He originally wanted to go to Huining City to meet the Crown Prince with several village owners around him, but he got an order from the Crown Prince to pick him up at Mulan River City... The Crown Prince went out for a hunting trip in the city and wanted to come. Mulan River City!
This is amazing! The prince is here! Is it possible that something good is really coming to your door?
The Tuhai family was craning their necks waiting for something good to happen, but Prince Zhu Cixiang suddenly led an army and came to the door, and the momentum was too scary. Those who came were all the elite of the Guards, including not only the infantry of the Guards, but also the powerful Guards Cavalry - the Guards Cavalry is a luxurious upgraded version of the black gun mule soldiers, which can not only "do chores", but also be used as soldiers. The main force carries out a group charge, which is enough to become the decisive ace force on the battlefield.
Since the discovery of the vanguard of this group of black cavalry (the Guards are good at night fighting, so they wear black), the Ma Jia clan's passages in the south, east, and north of Mulan River City have been controlled by the Ming army, and checkpoints All Duiba were driven back by this vicious group of guys, leaving only the road to Huining in the west for them.
This is a show of force!
Tuhai is also considered to have been in battle for a long time. Even after settling in Heilongjiang, he followed Obai to send troops many times, either pretending to be a Rakshasa soldier to fight against Chahar, or supporting the remaining Horqin troops in their fight with the Daning army. Of course he knew how powerful the "Black Guards" were... Not to mention the little strength he had, even if Obai's "Rakshasa Army" came back, he would still have to attack.
So when Tuhai faced the soldiers led by the prince who suddenly came to his door, how could he dare to resist at all? All that's left is fear and fear!
Just when everyone in Mulan River City felt at a loss, the prince's messenger suddenly arrived and brought Tuhai news of the prince's arrival!
After receiving the message from Zhu Hexing, Tuhai immediately began to prepare for the greeting with great fanfare... Of course he welcomed him. He didn't dare to resist, but he just ran away to break through and went to Yaksa City to surrender to Obai and promised to return the favor. There's enough time.
Although the prince had sent out black-armored cavalry on three sides, Tu Hai could still escape if he wanted to lead the warriors of his clan.
It's just that the old, weak, women and children of this clan are probably the victims of others! What if the prince meant no harm? So Tuhai had no choice but to treat this matter, which was a blessing or a curse, as a great joy.
If Prince Zhu is really playing the trick of "Yun Meng Wan", I am afraid that everyone in the Ma Jia family will have to be caught in one fell swoop!
So when Tu Hai arranged all the entertainment arrangements to welcome the prince and his entourage, and then took the best members of the clan out of the city to welcome the prince, everyone including Tu Hai felt anxious. Tu Hai, the leader, was even more irritated and worried to the extreme. All that came to mind was that he followed Aobai and Chahar, Tumote, Daning, Beiping, Anbei and other vassal states to fight and kill. ...If these things are really counted strictly, they can be regarded as rebellion!
Although he was not the mastermind of the rebellion, there was no problem in asking him for the crime of coercion... Just when I was thinking about whether to run away, I suddenly saw the dozen or so horses that I had sent out to greet them, riding fast horses. After rushing back, he shouted towards Tuhai from a distance: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Tu Hai took a breath, and just when he was about to say something to his left and right, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, getting closer and closer, getting louder and louder, and in the end they were connected together, and he didn’t know how many came. The sound of horse hooves is so amazing that the ground is shaking slightly!
Tuhai looked back at his children, Nuomin and Yaliqi, and said with a wry smile: "All dismount, let's prepare to kowtow to the Crown Prince!"
Nuomin looks very similar to his father Tuhai. They both have long faces, big ears, and pointed chins. They are also similar in stature to his father, he is a thin man.
Like Jieshu and Fei Yanggu, he was also a "new Tatar", but he was not as capable as the two of them. He never went to Tianjin Imperial College. After graduating from Vladivostok Academy, he went home and lived with Tuhai.
Yalic is much younger, only 16 or 17 years old this year, with fair skin, not tall, but very slender (their family is all thin). Her skin is very fair, her face is long and narrow, her chin is very pointed, her lips are very thin, her nose is a bit pointed, and she also has a pair of slightly squinted red phoenix eyes that look very long. She looks quite good-looking, but she gives people a cunning feeling.
Nuo Min frowned tightly, obviously very worried about the sudden arrival of the Zhu family prince - he had done so many bad things, so of course he was scared.
However, Yaliqi had a smile on his lips. He turned over and dismounted, and comforted his father: "Don't worry, Ama. The prince must have come all the way here because he values you and wants to ask you to help!"
Nuo Min also said: "My sister is right. Obai and Yue Le took away many people. Now there are not many elders who can help the prince clean up the mess. Amma, you are one of them."
Tuhai sighed: "I hope so..."
At this moment, the twelve dragon flags symbolizing the prince appeared on the road in the distance. At the same time, there was also a large group of black-armored cavalry, galloping forward. Looking around, they saw only a beating sky. Black Knight.
