Four hundred and seventieth nine chapters five crimes
Chechen Khan Shuolei met the expeditionary Guandi army in the Wendurshire area.
Zhao Wu didn't know what Shuolei was coming, but only knew that thousands of soldiers and horses were coming in a turbulent manner, so he found a low slope to form a car and waited for it.
The tight formation of the eight hundred elite troops made Shuolei very afraid and did not dare to let his army get too close. He only brought a few followers to Subadi and Gunbu each, and then sent entourages to the Guandi army to explain that the previous Sumubel army was Saimuji's claim that Saimuji had already taught Saimuji a lesson, and would provide food and grass to the Guandi army as compensation, and then send a guide to lead the way for the Guandi army.
After knowing the other party's purpose, Zhao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of the other party. Five or six thousand Mongolian cavalry could not do anything to the eight hundred elites. He was just worried that Shuolei would tear his face and go directly to war with the general, which led to a change in the general's strategy.
Since Shuolei came with kindness, Zhao Wu followed the boat and asked Shuolei to borrow thirty carts of fodder, one thousand pounds of dried meat, one thousand pounds of cheese and milk skin, and he would write down the words and give it back twice at that time.
Shuolei naturally agreed, and insisted that he did not have to return it. This batch of food and grass was considered compensation from the Sumu Beier tribe to the Guandi Army.
Of course, he would not need to give out these food and grass. He would let Saimuji obediently contribute it, just as a punishment for Saimuji's unauthorized attack on the Guandi army.
After leaving a guide to Zhao Wu, Shuolei led his army back to Sumubeier and personally ordered Saimuji to provide food and grass for the Guandi army.
When Zhao Wu arrived in the Sumubei area, Saimuji obediently presented the food and supplies he wanted, without saying a word.
These grains and forages were provided by Saimuji in the name of Shuolei, which made those little nobles dissatisfied with Shuolei. After he joined Huang Taiji, these people would naturally follow him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Two days later, the messenger sent by Qinchuan found Zhao Wu and brought Qinchuan to order him to go directly to Baikal to attack the Mongols.
Zhao Wu immediately sent envoys to inform the three Khalkha Khans and the Buryat tribe, then accelerated the marching and headed straight to Lake Baikal.
When Shuolei, Gunbu and Subadi learned that the disappearance of the mission was caused by the Mongols, he was relieved and happy, especially Gunbu and Subadi. The Mongols had already stepped into their northern territory and even sent envoys to ask for fur taxes from them. After being rejected, they plundered their tribe members. For this reason, they called these robbers who came to the west called white bandits.
Gunbu and Subadi once sent troops to attack these white bandits, hoping to avenge their tribesmen, but the other side retreated into the dense forests in the north. The other side's military fort was built in the dense forests with many rivers. The Mongolian cavalry could not play their advantages in those terrains and ended up leaving it alone.
Now that the Guandi Army is here, I don’t know if the white bandits are opponents of the Guandi Army.
No matter who wins and who loses, it is a good thing for the three Khalkha tribes to fight against the White Bandits.
Therefore, Subadi and Gunbu each gave fifty sheep to Zhao Wu, and sent someone to drive the sheep to Lake Baikal for him.
Compared with the three Khalkha Khans, the mood of Aguti, the leader of the Buryat tribe, can be described as excitement. After the news of the Guandi army coming to Baikal to attack the white bandits spread, everyone in the tribe ran around and told each other and was excited.
The Buryat tribe is a Mongolian tribe living on the shore of Lake Baikal. It is not large in size and has a population of less than 10,000. It mainly makes a living by hunting and fishing. A few areas with pastures are supplemented by grazing.
Five years ago, a group of white bandits came to the Angara River west of Lake Baikal, demanding that the Buryat tribe surrender and demand fur tax from all tribe members. Each adult man had to pay eleven minks as fur tax a year.
The Buryat tribe naturally refused to accept it, and the long and humiliating war began.
The White Bandits erected a fortress made of stone and wood in Lake Angara. Using this as a base, they often sent troops to plunder the Buryat tribes, killing people and setting fires, and their methods were extremely cruel. Every time they plundered, they would rob women and children, kill all adult men, and cut off all their heads, and erect them on the ground one by one with sharpened wooden sticks.
Aguti, the leader of the Buryat tribe, sent troops to fight back many times, with each time ranging from hundreds to two thousand troops, trying to kill all the white bandits.
But the White Bandits hid in the fortress and used muskets and artillery to repel Aguti's attack again and again, causing heavy losses to the Buryats.
Aguti once asked for help from the three Khalkha khans, but the Mongols living on the grassland did not dare to enter the dense forests in the north to fight against the white bandits.
In desperation, Aguti had to give up attacking the fortress and instead sent a small group of elite troops to hunt white bandits in the Angara River area.
At first, the White Bandits had only more than 200 troops. After dozens of people were killed by the elite of Buryab in several battles, the White Bandits transferred more troops from the West, and at the highest level it once reached more than 800 troops.
Not long after, another white bandit came to the north, building a fortress on the banks of the Lena River, five hundred miles north of Lake Baikal, and began to go south to rob the Buryats.
The two sides fought a long war on the Angara River and the Lena River. The advantage of the Buryat tribe was that it had more troops and familiar terrain, but the White bandits had powerful muskets and more sophisticated armor, and they were constantly recruiting soldiers from the West.
After a long period of consumption, the Buryats gradually fell into a disadvantage in the war.
The most important thing is that the Buryat village only has a simple wooden fence, which can't resist the sneak attacks of the White Bandits.
As a large number of tribes died in the war, a large number of villages were baptized by white bandits. The Buryats living in the Angara and Lena Rivers had no choice but to migrate to the east bank of Lake Baikal to avoid the brutal white bandits.
But the White Bandits did not intend to let them go, and still sent a small army to cross Lake Baikal, hunting their tribesmen who went out to hunt and even attacking the village.
In the past five years, there have been two or three thousand Buryats who died at the hands of white bandits.
Aguti knew that if this continues, the Buryat tribe would be exterminated soon.
The white bandits would slowly consume their troops, eventually kill all their adult men, and take women and children into slavery.
At the time of life and death of the Buryat tribe, Aguti suddenly saw hope. The Guandi army was coming, and the savior of the Buryat tribe came.
He had heard the legend of the Guandi Army, which was an army with well-equipped, muskets and victorious in every battle.
The Guandi Army wanted to attack the White Bandits, so of course he welcomed the other party. He not only provided food, but also sent troops to attack the White Bandits' fortress.
Therefore, Aguti immediately sent a guide to follow the envoys of the Guandi Army back to lead the way for them, and informed the tribe members to prepare food and welcome the Guandi Army soon.
...
After Sun Chuanting captured Gao Yingxiang, he crossed the Yellow River and went north to Taiyuan.
But he was still one step late.
On the day when he led 10,000 elite Qin troops to Qingyuan City and met with the 20,000 Qin troops who had arrived earlier, Sun Chuanting received news of the fall of Taiyuan City.
For him, this was bad news that worries him.
After a day of rest, Sun Chuanting led his 30,000 Qin troops to the north, heading straight for the south of Taiyuan County, and then immediately ordered the siege.
But the Qin army's attack was repelled when it was more than 200 steps away from the city wall.
Although the Shifang Camp stationed in Taiyuan County only had 5,000 troops, after Qin Chuan captured Taiyuan City, he immediately transferred more than 30 cannons to Taiyuan County. After investigation, Luo Ba learned that there were no cannons in the Qin army, so he started shelling after the other party entered a mile away. Several rounds of artillery bombarded several of the other party's shield cars. After paying the heavy price of hundreds of casualties, Sun Chuanting asked the Qin army to retreat without hesitation.
Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise the Qin army would have suffered greater casualties.
Sun Chuanting trained this Qin army to go deep into the mountains and forests to suppress bandits. The cannons were transported not into the mountains and forests. Therefore, after he arrived in Shaanxi, he did not look for craftsmen to cast cannons, nor did he have money or time to cast cannons. There were only small cannons such as tiger squat cannons, small folang machines, and there was no cannon with a range of more than 300 steps, let alone cannons with a range of two or three miles.
Before coming to Taiyuan County, he had borrowed cannons from the defenders of Fenzhou City, Jiaocheng and Qingyuan City, but the local defenders were unwilling to borrow it, because if the cannons were lent out and the Guandi army came to attack, what should they use to resist?
Therefore, Sun Chuanting had only 30,000 elite soldiers, but had no sharp weapons to attack the city, so he could only look at Taiyuan County and was helpless.
On the third day of arriving in Taiyuan County, the whistleman who went to Taiyuan City to investigate suddenly brought back a manifesto and presented it to Sun Chuanting.
It was a manifesto issued by Qin Chuan from Taiyuan City that openly became enemies with all the royal family members and gentry groups in the Ming Dynasty.
In the article, Qin Chuan listed five major crimes of the royal family, officials, generals and gentry in Taiyuan City.
First, oppressing the people and disregarding their lives will cause harm to the countryside.
Second, the invasion of a large number of military camps caused the imperial army to lack food and pay for the country's deficit.
Third, forced buying and selling are accused of a large number of people's land, resulting in a large number of people not being able to eat, and the land of China is hungry.
Fourth, hoarding food and raising prices and prices have led to the inability of people to survive and the country's turmoil.
Fifth, hiding land or evading taxes in disguise, resulting in the government's taxes being thin, the national treasury being empty and the country is weak.
In addition to listing the five major crimes, there is also a lot of lists on the manifesto. In addition to the many gentry in Taiyuan City, the names of Ninghua King Zhu Minji and several generals who protected the country were also listed. Zhu Shenxuan, who was still young and had just succeeded to be the King of Jin, was not included.
To sum up the five major crimes, all those listed on the list will be killed!
This manifesto was not just passed on to Sun Chuanting, but was sent and posted everywhere, with the purpose of telling the world.
After reading the manifesto, Sun Chuanting fell into silence and sat alone in the tent without saying anything for a long time.
He is also a member of the aristocratic family.
His ninth generation ancestor followed Taizu to pioneer the Ming Dynasty and was granted a hundred household positions. The sixth generation ancestor began to abandon Wu and follow Wen. Since then, every generation of the Sun family has been promoted to an official, and he himself was a Jinshi and became an official.
If the five major crimes in the Qinchuan manifesto are used as the basis, most of the Sun family are sentenced to death, and it is not a pity to even destroy the nine clans.
However, he could not find any reason to refute these five major crimes.
