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

Chapter 43 A false alarm

"Hundreds of thousands of horses Jinzhong, where did you come from, and where are you going?"

Sun Jie looked at Ma Jinzhong who was kneeling in front of him, and asked loudly.

Ma Jinzhong was held down by Chen Hu and knelt on the ground, except for his two legs, the rest of the place was tightly bound with ropes.

He looked at Sun Jie, and his voice was weak: "Come from Chengcheng County, intend to go to the Xi'an mansion to grab a circle, and then go to Qingyang to join Tianxing and the others, but I didn't expect to break here!"

"You are very courageous. If you dare to wander around Xi'an Mansion, you are not afraid that Sun Chuanting will kill you?" Sun Jie said.

Ma Jinzhong was honest and didn't hide anything. He said bluntly: "Sun Yanwang is not in Xi'an Mansion. What are you afraid of? I ran over from Chengcheng County that day, and Sun Yanwang might not be able to catch up with me. Chasing me is like a dream!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jie keenly sensed something was wrong, and asked again: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

When Sun Jiecheng was in the city, Sun Chuanting had already led troops out of the city to suppress the bandits.

However, Sun Jie didn't know which family of thieves Sun Chuanting was attacking.

The history of this aspect was briefly mentioned in the history books, but only some general directions were mentioned, without detailed records, so Sun Jie did not know at this time which family of thieves Sun Chuanting was attacking and where exactly.

Qingshi Mogui, except for important matters, all other matters have been mentioned in one stroke, and some things will not even appear in the history books.

Although folk history books or local county annals will also record, but the deviation is quite large, especially in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, there are many mistakes.

Sometimes, history books cannot be believed unconditionally, and they must be viewed with a dialectical perspective. You must believe it, or believe it completely.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi, the tragic "Ming History Case" broke out. The Zhuang family who edited and published the "Ming History Compilation" was copied and killed. More than 18 people were punished, countless people were involved, and countless victims were killed. Suddenly, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces changed their colors when they heard the word "History of the Ming Dynasty".

All publications of "Ming History Collection" were destroyed, along with the folk history, "anti-books" and "banned books" were also destroyed.

The predecessor of "Compilation of Ming History" was a history book written by Zhu Guozhen, the chief assistant of the cabinet during the Wanli period, after his retirement, recording Jiajing, Wanli, Tianqi and the early years of Chongzhen. It was originally named "General History".

It's just that the book was not completed, and he died of illness.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuang Tingyu, a wealthy businessman in Wucheng County, Zhejiang Province, remembering the favor of the previous dynasty, bought the first draft of "General History" from his descendants, recruited the remaining ministers of the Ming Dynasty, modified and added it, and added historical facts after Chongzhen and Nanming.

Not long after the book was written, Zhuang Tingyu died of illness, and his father dispersed all his family wealth. He changed "General History" to "Compilation of Ming History" and published it.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi, Wu Zhirong, the county magistrate of Gui'an County, reported for wealth and honor, and the "Ming History Case" broke out immediately.

The case lasted until the second year of Kangxi, which lasted for two full years.

There are countless people involved in the case, Zhejiang gentry, wealthy households, great Confucian scholars, and literati, all of them were imprisoned, and countless people died.

"History of Ming Dynasty" was revised from the second year of Shunzhi to the final draft in the fourth year of Qianlong. The span is so large that it is rare in history.

As for whether the "History of Ming Dynasty" has been tampered with, there are different opinions, but there is no doubt that it has been determined for a long time.

After Sun Jie mastered Kinmen, he also studied "Ming History" and other historical books, but he couldn't guarantee the accuracy of everything.

"I was originally in Chengcheng County"

Ma Jinzhong was honest at this time, he didn't make any fuss, and told the whole thing from the beginning.

Surrounded by well-equipped soldiers and horses, if you dare to make trouble, you may not know where your head will roll.

Listening to Ma Jinzhong's words, Sun Jie's face gradually became gloomy.

If Ma Jinzhong didn't lie, it means that Ma Jinzhong is very likely to be pursued by Sun Chuanting now.

Maybe Sun Chuanting's pursuers were right behind Ma Jinzhong.

If this is the case, it is not a good thing.

Now that his strength is not yet achieved, it is easy to deal with small groups of thieves. If he can match up with Sun Chuanting in this skill, especially since there are not many homemade bombs left, it is really not good news.

"Things may change, Huzi, you pick a few strong men with outstanding riding skills and go to inspect them. I will clean up the battlefield and retreat first!"

Sun Jie looked at Chen Hu who was holding Ma Jinzhong down, and said hastily.

Chen Hu nodded, raised his kick and kicked Ma Jinzhong's tailbone, which immediately made Ma Jinzhong's whole body go numb and collapsed to the ground.

This is a great way to temporarily incapacitate a captive from running.

After that, he took a few strong men who had passed the test of riding skills, rode a few war horses, brought dry food and water, and beat the horses away.

After Chen Hu left, Sun Jie didn't delay any longer and ordered someone to clean up the battlefield thoroughly, cutting off the traces as much as possible.

Several big pits were dug on the road, and all the corpses were buried in the big pits. Those who could be taken away were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were buried.

Half an hour later, the road was roughly restored to its previous appearance. Sun Jie counted the captured and prisoners, and then headed towards the station.

Zhao Dading took his strong men and set up defenses around them.

It's not as good as the elite trained by Chen Hu, but it's much better than these thieves.

Ma Jinzhong staggered among the captives, cursing in a low voice.

Chen Hu's kick made him really uncomfortable. He took a slightly longer step, his thigh was sore and numb, and he could only move forward in small steps.

At noon, Sun Jie led the crowd and captured them back to the station.

There is nothing wrong with the resident, basically everything is normal.

After settling down, Liang Wu and the strong men he stayed behind were sent out to inspect the surrounding area.

After doing everything well, Sun Jie once again set his sights on these prisoners and their capture.

There is no problem in settling the war horses. It can be settled by erecting some horse stakes and building a few stables.

The most important thing is that these captive thieves are short of manpower, so they cannot be easily untied.

However, these captives were not all thieves.

After settling down, Sun Jie took Zhao Dading to check the prisoners.

According to the previous count, there were more than [-] prisoners in total.

According to this inspection, Sun Jie found that among the more than 400 people, more than [-] were ordinary young men who were forced into the group by Ma Jinzhong.

There are only about 400 serious thieves.

When Ma Jinzhong ran away from Chengcheng County, there were more than [-] people in the old camp and more than [-] strong men.

Entering Sun Jie's ambush, Sun Jie's attack position is very clever.

Zhao Dading blocked Ma Jinzhong's striker, Sun Jie attacked halfway, and launched an attack when Ma Jinzhong led the remaining main force and Qingzhuang halfway.

Sun Jie launched the attack just when most of Ma Jinzhong's main force and a small number of young and strong men entered the ambush circle, that is to say, most of Ma Jinzhong's main force was within the coverage of Sun Jie's bombs.

The young and strong marched slowly, procrastinated, and the convenience of discarding slowed down the speed of Sun Chuanting's pursuit, so he was arranged by Ma Jinzhong behind the team.

It is precisely for this reason that the young and strong lost little, and the Ma Jinzhong old camp suffered a lot.

Not many of the more than 2000 strong men died, and many of them ran away in the chaos. After all, they were not subjected to heavy bombing.

There are nooks and corners everywhere, and it is not easy to find them all.

Ma Jinzhong's old battalion of more than 1000 people has only about 400 people left, and most of them are slightly injured. The Ma army was completely wiped out. There were more than 200 horses, but only 50 horses remained, all of which were captured by Sun Jie. It can be described as a heavy loss.

After rigorous verification, Sun Jie realized one thing, that is, these 400 young adults were indeed youngsters who had been coerced into the gang.

This is a great thing. These more than 400 young men are all young men. Although their physical strength is not good, they can always make up if they make up for it. At that time, there will be more than 400 people in their hands. The previous ones can also gather [-] soldiers.

As for those veterans of Ma Jinzhong, Sun Jie would not train them.

A bandit will always be a bandit, and a bandit will always be a bandit.

These people have followed Ma Jinzhong for many years. Over the years, they have done everything they can to burn, kill and loot, and they have no rules when fighting. They are all mobs.

On the battlefield, the battle is wrong, and he runs faster than anyone else.

If the war goes well, it will be better than anyone else to grab credits and advance lightly.

This kind of guy is rat shit, and it will only cause bad things if he is programmed.

Expecting to influence them is simply a dream.

Following Ma Jin's surrender and rebellion, the guys at both ends of the first mouse, what good things can they be?

All of them have been finalized, and with the time that influences them, they can train twice as many soldiers as them. There is no need to waste time on these useless pickled goods.

They killed a lot of good people, raped, burned and killed them all. The best way for them to return home is to atone for their sins in various places such as brick kilns and coal mines.

As for Ma Jinzhong, he naturally couldn't let it go easily.

Although this person is not as good as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, how many thieves are fun these days?

In the first few years of the rebellion, it was still possible to say that officials forced the people to rebel.

But after so many years, he has already become a professional rebel. One by one, he does not do human affairs, and let them go easily. I am sorry for the good people who died at his hands.

On Sun Jie's side, there were almost no casualties. Except for a few who slipped down the earthen wall and accidentally twisted their feet, no one was injured.

With bombs of that level and scale, the thieves have been bombarded for a long time, so how dare they resist head-on?
Sun Jie separated the captives, and the thieves were all tied up and thrown outside the tent.

It's summer now, and I can't freeze to death at night. Eating some rice soup with clear soup and little water will hang my life.

As for young adults, they will be held in batches.

Before Chen Hu came back and didn't know what was going on, he couldn't be too casual.

However, compared to Liu Zei, the lives of these young and strong people are much better. Although it is also rice soup, it is much thicker than Liu Zei.

These young and strong people were basically coerced by Ma Jinzhong from the villages around Chengcheng County. Most of the villages in the Ming Dynasty lived in clusters, so it was very easy to distinguish them.

The sun was still the same sun, Chen Hu and the others hadn't come back, three days had passed, which inevitably made Sun Jie a little worried.

Chen Hu has not returned for a long time, there are probably two possibilities.

First, there were no Sun Chuanting's pursuers around, and Chen Hu ran far away without finding them, so he didn't send anyone back, and wanted to go further to investigate.

Second, Chen Hu had already been caught by Sun Chuanting's pursuers, but Chen Hu remained stubborn and said nothing, so he could not see Chen Hu and Sun Chuanting's pursuers.

Sun Jie brought the drone, Zhao Dading and a dozen strong men to the place where he had been ambushed before.

Take the drone into the air to spy on the surroundings.

There is nothing around, except for the boundless loess, just some bare dead trees.

From time to time, a few wild wolves could be seen running across the ground, and the land was silent.

The wind picked up again, and the drone was a little unstable, so we had to take it back first.

When he was about to control the drone to come back, Sun Jie saw several streams of smoke and dust coming from a distance along the ground from the screen of the drone's control handle.

Sun Jie frowned, staring at the screen.

The dust gradually grew, and Chen Hu riding a horse appeared on the screen.

Sun Jie's eyes lit up, and his heart was relieved a lot.

The wind gradually subsided, and the drone was controlled to go towards Chen Hu, over Chen Hu's head, and flew behind Chen Hu.

There is nothing behind, only the boundless loess land.

Chen Hu saw the drone and knew that Sun Jie was nearby, so he began to slow down on his horse.

The drone flew back and flew in front of Chen Hu, leading the way for Chen Hu.

Not long after, Chen Hu came to the place where he was ambushed before.

Sun Jie put away the drone and slipped down from the earthen wall.

"grown ups!"

Chen Hu dismounted from his horse, and led the horse to walk in front of Sun Jie.

"How's the situation?! I've been there for so long, is everything okay?"

Sun Jie looked at Chen Hu, who was covered in dirt and dust, and asked.

Seeing that Sun Jie cared about him so much, Chen Hu felt warm in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, sir, there is nothing nearby, and the little one rode a horse and went all the way to the county seat, Chengcheng County and Xi'an Fucheng. Not a small distance, no pursuers, everything as usual!"

"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm!" Sun Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:

"This is not a place to talk, go back and talk about it in detail!"

Chen Hu nodded, and as he said that, he wanted to help Sun Jie get on the horse, "My lord, there is still a long way to go back, and there is nothing wrong with it anyway, don't be in a hurry, let's go right away!"

Sun Jie grew up so big, that is to say, when he was a child, he rode a merry-go-round at the entrance of a supermarket, and he had never ridden a cow. How could he ride a horse?

"I can't ride a horse!" Sun Jie said bluntly. If he can't ride a horse, he can't ride a horse. There is nothing to hide.

"It doesn't matter, the little one is leading the horse, so nothing will happen!" Chen Hu said with a simple and honest smile.

Sun Jie didn't refuse either, and with Chen Hu's support, he stepped onto the horse.

Stepping on the stirrup and holding the rein, Sun Jie sat on the horse's back.

To be honest, prestige is prestige, but the taste is really uncomfortable.

Unlike motorcycles or bicycles, the saddle is dead.

Although the saddle is tightly tied to the horse's back, it is still not as solid as the car seat.

In addition, the horse's back was shaking and bumping, and the stirrups were not solid. Sun Jie could barely stabilize his body, but his center of gravity was still erratic.

Riding a horse is not as easy as imagined. For a novice riding a horse, it is already good to be able to stabilize his body on the horseback, let alone other things.

If it were that easy, the cavalry would really become cabbages.

The strong men led by Chen Hu also led their horses and walked behind Sun Jie.

Zhao Dading and those strong men followed behind Sun Jie without any haste.

Sun Jie looked around for a week, and his eyes returned to the horse under his crotch.

"If you want to compete for hegemony in the late Ming Dynasty, you must know how to bow and horse. After returning home, you must practice more frequently, and don't cause trouble just because you don't know how to ride a horse." Sun Jie secretly made up his mind.
