Chapter 12 The Long-distance of Huang Taiji
Several men were shocked by the fact that they had killed four Tartars. These were barbarians outside the pass who beat up the officers and soldiers so badly that they killed them.

For a while, everyone was slightly stunned, and an unspeakable pleasure surged in their hearts. They looked at the corpse on the ground, stared at it for a long time, and finally laughed in unison.

It's just a pity that they are now thieves, not officers and soldiers, otherwise they would carry a few heads and at least change to a small flag.

After a while, everyone packed up again, and Gao Yizhen began to count the harvest in high spirits.

On the other side, Second Brother Gao was slightly taken aback, and threw Fan Dongling back to the ground. This fellow was not Fan Yongdou, he thought he was going to get rich, and he didn't want to be happy for nothing.

The second brother was a little annoyed, but he squatted down again, and asked, "I ask you, what are you bringing four tartars with you?" His expression became a little fiercer, and he added angrily, "You It’s best to be honest, since I know Fan Yongdou, I know your details, if you say something untrue, I will stab you, a traitor, to death.”

The word "traitor" appeared relatively late, but as the name suggests, Fan Dongling's heart felt as if he had been thumped. He shrank his neck and nodded, "As long as the hero spares my life, I will say anything." After speaking, he saw Gao Yiyi and others were dragging the corpses of the four Zhenyi away, so they said honestly: "The Qing outside the pass is not ~ Jiannu. They heard that the Ming Dynasty appointed Sun Chuanting to supervise Shaanxi, and appointed Governor Yang Wenyue to Baoding the army. , Ding Qirui supervised the soldiers and horses in Huguang, and Hou Xun, the governor of Henan, rescued Kaifeng."

"Jiannu reckons that the official army will fight against the intruders~ no~ the insurgents will fight in Henan." Fan Dongling looked at Brother Gao's face, and continued: "They want to know the situation of the two sides' war, so they found my uncle, So he sent me such an errand to go to Henan to investigate with four Jianyi."

Hearing these contents, Second Brother Gao was a little surprised. He knew that there was a saying later that "Chuan Ting died, Ming Dynasty died", and he also knew that the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Chuang Army would break out this year, but he did not expect that the imperial court actually arranged Many people are not powerless.

Another thing that surprised him was that the Qing army had already noticed the bandit turmoil in Ming Dynasty.

Brother Gao couldn't help thinking of the entire last years of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was always under the attack of the bandits and the slaves outside the pass. Whenever the bandits were about to be pacified, the Qing army outside the pass would inevitably take action to form a cooperation with the bandits.

Take 1638, the 11th year of Chongzhen’s fifth invasion of Jinan as an example. It not only destroyed Shandong and Hebei, but also caused 17 people in Jinan to die under the butcher’s knife. The Ming army's suppression gave Li Zicheng in Shangluo Mountain a chance to breathe.

Similarly, when the more than [-] official troops fought the decisive battle with the Qing army in Songshan, it was also the time when the Chuang army expanded in Henan and captured Luoyang.

The two forces are like a pair of tacit teammates, taking turns to hit Daming, which makes the second brother Gao doubt whether there is any agreement between the two, but judging from Li Zicheng's performance afterwards, he knows that he can't have it. Such a long-term strategic vision.

Second Brother Gao glanced at Fan Dongling with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart for the Qing army outside the pass.

At this time, he probably thought of a possibility. There were only so many people in the Qing army. If Daming was not chaotic, even if Daming was defeated again and again, the Qing army would not be able to do anything to Daming. Therefore, Huang Taiji deliberately cooperated with the rogues in the pass and let them spend Daming's vitality.

The Qing army obtained news from the pass through Fan Yongdou and the bandits. Whenever the rogues failed, they would strike against the Ming Dynasty, allowing the rogues to continue to cause chaos and destroy the vitality of the Ming Dynasty. allies.

If Brother Gao's guess is correct, then Huang Taiji is too powerful, and now they are starting to investigate the situation in Henan, so they want to hold back the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Yihuan's face sank, "Tell me, what did you find out?"

Fan Dongling said helplessly: "Hero, we only know that Dudu Sun led an army of [-] to Shaanxi a few days ago, and was about to go to Kaifeng to investigate, so we met Hero."

"Is Sun Chuanting a soldier from Fengqiu?" Gao Yihuan frowned.

Fan Dongling nodded, "It's Fengqiu who left, not long ago."

The Ming army that Liu Heizi asked Gao Er Ge to investigate turned out to be Sun Chuanting's men. Gao Yihuan was slightly silent. Now that he got the news, he didn't have to continue to investigate north.

At this time, he turned his head and looked at Fan Dongling again, then stood up, "What else do you know?"

"Hero, I've told you everything I know, so please let me go." Fan Dongling hastily begged for mercy.

Second Brother Gao sneered, "Your uncle Fan Yongdou didn't teach you, if it falls into someone else's hands, do you have to keep half of what you say?"

Fan Dongling's face was blank for a while, and the second brother thought that this guy's coping ability was far worse than that of the old man Gao Zurong, so he didn't hold back, and picked up the knife in one hand, "If you finish talking, it's useless. Then what's the use of me keeping you?"

Seeing him pick up the knife, Fan Dongling's face paled for a while when he heard the words, and he backed up in horror, but the second brother Gao pushed forward step by step, Fan Dongling was almost crying, but when the second brother Gao raised the knife, Fan Dongling suddenly remembered One thing, and shouted in horror, "One more thing, I know one more thing..."

Gao Yihuan was stunned for a moment, and changed his face, "I just wanted to scare you, to see if you were hiding something from me. Look, you really have something to hide from me. Tell me, what is it?"

Fan Dongling was still in shock, panting heavily for a while, but he learned to be smart, his eyes flickered, and he licked his lips and said, "The hero just said it, and you can't finish everything. If I say it all, then what if you still want to kill me?"

The second elder brother wiped his face heavily with one hand, and suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Your Fan family colluded with the Tartars outside the pass, and the silver they robbed was exchanged for grain and ironware through your Fan family, and was transported outside the pass. Knowing that your Fan family is very rich, since you are the nephew of the old turtle grandson of Fan Yongdou, there should be no problem asking him to pay you some money to redeem you, so don't worry, I will not kill you. Who would have trouble with Yin Zi? "

Gao Yihuan stretched out his hand and patted Fan Dongling's face twice, then suddenly changed his tone, "But if you don't tell me, then I'll cut your leg until you tell me."

After finishing speaking, before Fan Dongling could react, a knife flashed in front of his eyes, and a sharp pain came from his thigh. He immediately covered his leg, fell to the ground and howled like a pig.

The second brother originally wanted to make a small cut, but he was not proficient in knife skills, so he didn't want to cut it down, and pulled out a seven-inch long wound.He looked at his results and was taken aback for a moment, then he could only put on a ferocious look, raised the knife high, and roared louder than Fan Dongling's wailing, "Say it or not, or another knife."

"Shandong~Shandong~" Fan Dongling covered his wound, and replied in horror: "The military department will be selected by Zhonglu, and he will make a plan to build [-] ships in Shandong, send [-] troops, gather in Denglai, and sail across Liaoning. Containing the establishment of slaves. Emperor Chongzhen gave a commendation, saying that this is a strategy of navigating the mind, and has already asked the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to do it. In addition to investigating the situation in Kaifeng this time, we also have to go to Shandong to see if the government has really started. shipbuilding······"

The knife in Gao Yihuan's hand was slowly put down, and he suddenly remembered that it seems that this year, the Chuang army will fight Sun Chuanting in Henan, and at the same time, the Qing army will enter the customs again, as if they have stayed in Shandong for more than half a year... ··
