630 The Confession

After hearing this, Shen Yiyuan seemed a little unwilling to accept it and did not answer. He just looked up and looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see a flower.

When Shen Yikui saw it, he sighed in his heart. Even if he himself was willing to be under Li Zicheng all the time. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious to all that the court vigorously built the Hetao area. Whether it is Han or Mongols, as long as they are under the rule of the naturalized governor, they can at least ensure that they have no worries about food and accommodation. Without any worries, who doesn’t want to take another step forward and make a name for themselves!

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Shen Yiyuan shouting loudly: "There is someone in front of you!"

Shen Yikui quickly looked up and found that at the end of the small lake, there were some black dots moving. It was just that it was too far away to see the situation clearly.

"Let's go, let's meet!" Shen Yiyuan did not hesitate and immediately drove his horse to speed up, and shouted loudly, "Follow me!"

The five hundred cavalry accelerated, and Shen Yikui, who was following him, was still a little hesitant, thinking that what if it was a Mongol, it would be obviously someone else's territory!

Unlike his hesitation, Shen Yiyuan seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and he wanted to rush to the black spots. Shen Yikui wanted to remind his brother several times, but looking at his brother's excited expression, he probably wouldn't listen even after saying it, so he had to stop talking.

As we got closer and closer, we could see the situation ahead clearly. At this moment, Shen Yikui was shocked.

I saw that the front of the people in the distance, from the clothes and flags, should be from the Ming Dynasty. Behind them, there were dozens of times more people than them, and there were about five hundred riders. It was not escorts, but chasing more than a dozen Ming people who were desperately running away in front.

"It was the messenger sent by Lord Zhongcheng!" After seeing it clearly, Shen Yiyuan was really like a chicken blood, ignoring the Mongolians and shouting loudly, "Brothers, those bastards are chasing the messenger, kill them for me!"

While talking, he speeded up again, and there was a vague sign of being far ahead.

When Shen Yikui saw this, he quickly turned his head to look at his subordinates behind him and shouted loudly: "We have a chance to make meritorious and rewarded me. If you want to shine the clan and glorify your ancestors, you will kill me!"

"Kill!" Five hundred cavalrymen became excited. Naturally, no one was willing to open up the land or build a house. Now that they really encountered the opportunity to kill the enemy, how could they miss it!

The people in the distance obviously discovered this cavalry, and the Ming people who were currently fleeing immediately adjusted their direction and fled towards them. The Mongols who were chasing obviously slowed down, but it seemed that the leader was shouting something, and then started to speed up again. But just this delay, they were a little further away from the target they were chasing.

Both sides were cavalry and were accelerating. There was not much time when the two teams met. As the saying goes, the brave ones won when the two armies met! The cavalry of Shen Yiyuan was mostly the previous frontier cavalry. They were just like Shen Yiyuan, eager to make military achievements, so they all bravely stepped forward. However, the Mongols were obviously hesitant, and the morale gap immediately reflected on the war.

In one hedge, many people fell down on both sides. Shen Yiyuan's cavalry turned a corner without hesitation and started the next round of impact. But the Mongols hesitated, some stopped the horse, some were about to hedge, and some were about to turn and fled far away.

After the second round of hedging, it was obvious that the Mongols were more dismissed. By the third round, the Mongols no longer had the courage to rush again, but fled.

"Yikui, clean the battlefield!" Shen Yiyuan shouted loudly, waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, chase me!"

"Brother, be careful!" Shen Yikui shouted and responded, and immediately directed his men to clean up the battlefield, capture the enemy, rescue the comrades, collect heads and casualties. He himself faced the Ming people who had turned back.

The man in the leader was indeed a civil servant, brought by Yang Sichang, the governor of Baotou. He was so tired that he was panting, but he looked grateful and grateful on his face. He clasped his fists on the horse and said, "Thank you brothers for helping you in time. I will definitely ask for merit in front of Lord Zhongcheng!"

Shen Yiyuan was very happy to hear this, and he asked quickly, "Sir, what's going on?"

When the civil servant surnamed Wang heard this, he roughly explained the situation.

It turned out that he was sent to the western grassland to visit various Mongolian tribes. He declared the ownership of the Hetao area and announced that the border city could be opened in Baotou to make good friends with the western Mongolian tribes and stabilize the situation in the western region, thus giving Hetao time to build.

At the beginning, everything went smoothly, and all Mongolian tribes were very interested in border markets. However, they were not stupid, and knew what the Ming Dynasty needed at this time. Therefore, larger tribes, such as the Junggar tribe and the Hoshuote tribe, had to negotiate conditions and try to expand the scope of border market transactions, reduce the price of Ming commodities, and get enough benefits from it.

The smaller tribes, such as the Dulbert tribe and the Tuerhu tribe, were very happy at the beginning. But later, their attitude suddenly became cold. Later, they happened to find that it was Bu Shitu's people who visited these Mongolian tribes and proposed to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's unstable foothold to seize Tumochuan, which is the Hetao Plain, and then divide the Jiangnan outside the border together.

The Mongolians who were chasing them were Bu Shitu’s men. Trying to kill them eliminated the hope of friendship between the Mongolian tribes and the Ming Dynasty.

By the time he explained this, Shen Yiyuan had already returned excitedly and obtained more than ten heads. In this battle, he killed 125 people and captured 68 people. On his side, he died 63 people and injured 85 people.

As soon as they returned to Baotou, the situation was reported to Lord Zhongcheng. Yang Sichang immediately sent someone to send the news to Guihua City in an expedited manner.

At this time, on the side of Guihua City, the assistant minister Xue Guoguan also escorted a batch of food. The military information was reported to Emperor Chongzhen in the capital through Li Guo and Lu Ruipeng. He immediately convened the cabinet and the six ministers of the ministers, and connected to the side of Guihua to hold a special meeting.

"My dear friends, how should I, the Ming Dynasty, deal with this matter?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with a serious face.

Wen Tiren heard this and first made a speech: "Your Majesty, North Korea is preparing for war. I think that in the western Mongolian side, it is better to agree to their conditions first, so as to isolate the Bushitu tribe and win time for the construction of the Hetao area. When Liaodong comes to an end, our Ming Dynasty will gain a firm foothold in Hetao and then settle accounts with these Mongolian tribes!"

His work focus at this time was on the domestic economy, so he did not want to go to war on both sides. His view was supported by Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

However, Hong Chengchou expressed his objections through the chat group.
