The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 106

With such a big handwriting, could it be that you made a special trip here to wait for me?

A trace of doubt rose in Sun Jie's heart.

Putting away his thoughts, he walked forward with a few followers.

If you want to go to Datong, you have to go through Yanmen Pass.

Or, just go around from the nearby mountains.

This not only wastes time, but also costs a lot of procedures.

It is far less simple than the one coming from Yanmen Pass.

There are risks, but in this world, what to do without risk?
How can you give up eating because of choking?

After stopping two or 300 meters outside the city, several attendants walked forward with a loudspeaker.

When they came to the edge of the city wall, a follower raised his big horn and shouted towards the top of the city: "We are soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Middle Road General, not bandits!"

Chen Xinjia on the top of the wall could naturally hear this man's voice, and his heart was relieved a lot.

But the worry was still there, so he asked his followers to shout outside, asking what their purpose was.

A soldier gathered from the top of the nearby city and shouted down: "What do you want to do? What are you going to do?"

"We want to go north to King Qin. We are not bandits, so please invite us to go there. My lord has said that if we are allowed to go there, there will be a lot of rewards!"

The entourage with the trumpet then shouted.

When the ordinary soldiers on the top of the city heard that they were rewarded with great rewards, they immediately came to their minds.

These people staying behind are just some miscellaneous soldiers. They usually don't even have enough to eat. Now that they are rewarded with a lot of rewards, how can they not be excited?
Anyway, it's not bandits building slaves, it's soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, and they're all a family, so it doesn't matter if we let them go there.

Money touches people's hearts. In this troubled world, no one can endure this level of temptation.

The soldiers on the city wall were crowded, and their eyes were full of brilliance.

Chen Xinjia didn't want to let Sun Jie in, but judging by his posture, he couldn't stop him at all.

He didn't dare to stop him, if the soldiers started making trouble, it doesn't matter who you are.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Liaodong soldiers and horses mutinied because of lack of payment. At that time, Bi Zisu, the governor of Liaodong, was tied to a wooden stake by the mutiny soldiers and went to the street to show the public.

Officials of this status are played by soldiers in this way, let alone a small servant of the Ministry of War.

The extremely hungry soldiers didn't care about this, they were soldiers and horses of the imperial court anyway, and with the elite sitting in the town and the absence of the main generals, it was difficult to restrain them.

Chen Xinjia wanted to say something, but the soldiers beside him couldn't wait any longer.

If there is no way, then follow the soldiers on the city wall.

At any rate, Sun Jie did not raise the anti-flag. At any rate, he is still a soldier of the imperial court, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Not long after, the gate of Yanmenguan opened wide.

Chen Xinjia had some good eyesight, and led the defenders in the city, waiting quietly at the gate of the city.

Sun Jie rode his horse and led the soldiers forward.

Seeing Sun Jie's army approaching him, Chen Xinjia was extremely disturbed.

Before the tiger showed its fangs, no one knew if it was a sick cat.

Sun Jie walked in the front, and Chen Hu led the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to surround Sun Jie.

The drone has been lifted into the air, and it can clearly see the defenses in the city.

After confirming that there is no threat, the speed is a little faster.

Soon he arrived at the gate of the city. Chen Xinjia, who was standing outside the city, took a deep breath, and greeted him with his followers.

I don't know Sun Jie, so naturally I don't know who Sun Jie is.

He cupped his hands indiscriminately towards the crowd walking by, regardless of which one was which.

"Chen Xinjia, the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, by His Majesty's order, I will wait here for a long time!"

The voice is loud, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a slight trembling sound.

Obviously, I was still uneasy.

Sun Jie jumped off his horse and came down to Chen Xinjia surrounded by soldiers from the personal guard battalion.

"Master Chen!"

She cupped her hands towards Chen Xinjia and said.

Sun Jie naturally knew about Chen Xinjia. In the history of the late Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to bypass this person.

On the one hand, he has a lot to do with Lu Xiangsheng's death.

If he hadn't listened to Yang Sichang's arrangement and urged Lu Xiangsheng to march, Lu Xiangsheng would not have entered the ambush.

It was another official of the Peace Faction, who died tragically in prison.

Looking at Chen Xinjia in front of him, Sun Jie thought of this.

Chen Xinjia looked at Sun Jie standing in front of him, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

Young, this is the most intuitive feeling.

He was tall, a full head taller than him.

The face is dignified and the appearance is very majestic.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, it is very difficult to see someone like Sun Jie again.

"Your Excellency is General Sun?"

Chen Xinjia asked.

"Can this be false?" Sun Jie laughed.

"May I ask the general, what is the purpose of leading the troops to the north without order?"

Chen Xinjia held back the uneasiness in his heart and asked the biggest purpose of the trip.

"What else can I do? Of course it's King Qin from the north. I heard that Jiannu invaded the south recently. Of course, my generation of military generals must work hard for the country to restore the world to a bright future.

As the saying goes, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky! "

Sun Jie had a righteous face, and his brows were full of heroism.

Instead, let Chen Xinjia take a high look.

The general environment in the late Ming Dynasty was here, and most generals didn't even know a few words.

But when he came to Sun Jie, not only was he handsome and unrestrained, he could even speak a few lines of poetry, it seemed that he had read books.

"Has the general read books?" Chen Xinjia asked again.

"I've read books for a few years, dabbled in one or two of the Four Books and Five Classics, and read a few poems and articles!"

Sun Jie is as easy-going as ever.

Seeing this, Chen Xinjia finally felt relieved.

Such an easy-going, unobtrusive, and even polite person, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a traitor.

"I also said, how can a hero like a general be so cruel?

If all generals in the world can be like generals, why worry about the world being injustice? "

He praised Sun Jie again and again, and all kinds of beautiful words came out of his mouth.

It's good not to rebel, if you don't rebel, your life will be saved.

"Come in quickly!"

Chen Xinjia hurriedly turned around and led Sun Jie to walk inside.

The soldiers and horses behind him also followed Sun Jie to go inside. After entering, Sun Jie told Chen Hu that some of the general's food would be given to the defenders in the city, and some money would be given at the same time.

I had thought of this a long time ago, and the army also carried some money.

It's just something outside of the body, so it's okay to give some.

After all, compared with getting people from Gyeonggi, it's just a drop in the bucket.

After a while, the two sat in the hall of the guard's office.

Chen Xinjia was enthusiastic and kept saying good things about Sun Jie.

It was late at night, and Chen Xinjia, who had been busy all day, wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital.

It said that Sun Jie had no intention of rebelling, because he was grateful for His Majesty's kindness and hated Liaodong Jiannu, so without His Majesty's order, he sent troops north to Qinwang.

Of course, in addition to this, he also emphatically talked about how brave he was. In order to find out the truth of the matter, he "entered Sun Jie's barracks three times" and various heroic deeds.

In a word, the minister also has merit, Your Majesty, you must not forget.

After a day's rest at Yanmen Pass, Sun Jie led the troops to set off again.

Chen Xinjia also set off with Sun Jie.

Sun Jie's troops were not many, only about four thousand, but Chen Xinjia was able to become the Minister of the Ministry of War because he had a few talents, so he could naturally tell the strength of the troops.

Each of Sun Jie's [-] soldiers and horses had armor, and they were all gleaming armor. These armors alone surpassed most of the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.

People are creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Sun Jie is so powerful, he will definitely make great achievements in battle at that time, and if he has a good relationship with Sun Jie, he may gain some benefits.

This is the sorrow of the late Ming Dynasty, and officials always want to make a profit.

Sun Jie knew this well, didn't say anything, and let him go like this.

Comparing with this kind of person has almost no other impact except wasting time.

Holding the military power firmly, who can do anything?
Entering the territory of Datong, the speed is much faster.

You don't have to worry about Qin and Shang's affairs anymore, you can march with all your strength.

A group of people were waiting for Sun Jie near Datong Town.

They are Tan Tai and others.

They pretended to be Ming people, and under the cover of Shanxi merchants, they cruised on the only way to Xuanhua.

There are not many people, and with the cover of Shanxi merchants, no one will doubt it.

In Datong, Xuanhua and other places, Shanxi merchants have been operating for so many years, and their influence is deeply rooted.

It is said that Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, had a fortune among Shanxi merchants.

Officials and generals from Shanxi are more or less inextricably linked with these Shanxi merchants.

The hard work paid off, and Tan Tai finally waited for Sun Jie.

The people brought out were all elites, and they were very skilled in scouting, so they found Sun Jie from a long distance away.

After the news came back to the camp, Tan Tai was overjoyed and set off with the rest of his entourage.

It has to be said that this Tan Tai is also brave enough to wait on Sun Jie's only way.

The Yebubang who were scattered outside instantly spotted them.

Tan Tai didn't have any fear, and even yelled loudly, telling these nights to take him to see Sun Jie.

He was also puzzled by not accepting these nights, so he told Sun Jie about it.

Sun Jie didn't know who it was.

He didn't know anyone here, so he couldn't figure out who would be waiting for him here.

Since you can't figure it out, let's see each other.

Soon, Tan Tai was brought over by Ye Bushou.

Sun Jie stopped his horse, looked at Tan Tai standing in front of him, and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Tan Tai arched his hands, looked at Sun Jie, and said, "Is it General Sun?"

"That's right, I'm here!" Sun Jie replied.

Tan Tai was overjoyed and said, "General, please speak further!"

The official uniform on Chen Xinjia's body was also changed into a regular uniform, so Tan Tai didn't see anything strange.

However, the matter mentioned is still relatively private, so I want Sun Jie to discuss it in another place.

Sun Jie frowned and looked at the man in front of him.

Although he can speak Chinese, his strong Liaodong accent will not deceive people.

I already have a guess in my heart, I am afraid it is someone from Liaodong.

It's just that I don't understand why this Huang Taiji still sent people here?Moreover, his whereabouts, Huang Taiji, are still clear.

In addition to doubts in my heart, I was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji's penetration of Daming has reached this level.

On the surface, there was no excessive reaction, and Sun Jie rode his horse and walked not far away.

Tan Tai hurriedly followed behind Sun Jie.

Chen Xinjia looked at the few people in the distance with a puzzled expression, and kept muttering in his heart.

I saw Sun Jie and the man in the distance were talking, they were too far away to hear clearly.

Not long after, I saw Sun Jie walking back again, and his tall and burly guard stayed there.

Immediately afterwards, the guard led the person blocking the way and his followers to the back, not knowing what to do.

Sun Jie figured out Tan Tai's main purpose, and also figured out Huang Taiji's plan.

There was no turbulence in my heart, since the head was sent over, it was fine to accept it, there was nothing to say.

Chen Xinjia originally wanted to ask, but seeing Sun Jie's dull expression, he held everything in his stomach.

Sun Jie's soldiers and horses gradually moved away, and there were several piles of blood-stained dirt on the ground.

The smell of blood in the air began to spread under the westerly wind, and the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance.

The horses, carriages and various supplies brought by Tan Tai were all accepted by Sun Jie with a smile.

Chen Hu returned to Sun Jie's side, the armor on his body was still stained with blood that hadn't been wiped clean.

Chen Xinjia, who was walking aside, looked at the blood on Chen Hu's body, and couldn't help feeling worried.

"My lord, it's done!"

Chen Hu cupped his hands towards Sun Jie with a low voice.

Sun Jie nodded, said nothing more, steered the horse under his crotch, and gradually moved away.

Chen Xinjia followed behind Sun Jie, and turned his head to glance at the army behind him.

The person just now and his entourage disappeared completely, leaving only the things they carried with them.

What happened, Chen Xinjia could understand without thinking.

Enduring the curiosity in his heart, he didn't ask. He knew that curiosity would kill the cat.

Chen Xinjia's memorial was sent to the imperial palace and then to Chongzhen.

After seeing the above content, I was relieved, and there was an indescribable relief.

It is also sad, not only did Chongzhen not get angry about this kind of thing, but he was relaxed.

This is not the first time he has encountered such a thing.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji bypassed Xifengkou and entered the capital.

Because of Yuan Chonghuan's misjudgment and Jiannu's divorce scheme, Chongzhen was annoyed.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Chongzhen Lingchi.

After learning the news, Yuan Chonghuan's general Zu Dashou ran back to Liaodong overnight for fear that he would be implicated.

Chongzhen was so angry at that time, he wanted to severely punish Zu Dashou.

But looking around, he found sadly that he had no way to counter it.

Not only that, if Zu Dashou's soldiers and horses were not restrained around the capital, Jiannu would only become more and more arrogant.

There was no other way, so I had to go to Liaodong to appease Zu Dashou with an imperial decree.

But Zu Dashou didn't listen at all, and didn't respond at all.

If Chongzhen hadn't moved Sun Chengzong out, I'm afraid things would only end more difficultly.

After that, Chongzhen found sadly that there were not many people he could command except the eunuchs in this small palace.

Those leading generals would have already burnt incense if they hadn't mutinied and rebelled, so how dare they persecute them too much?

It is precisely because of these reasons that Chongzhen was so relaxed after receiving this memorial from Chen Xinjia.
