Chapter 268 Beggar Zijun

The heavy baggage was lost in the camp in scattered ways. After this battle, the main force of the province had completely destroyed the Tartars who could survive. There were less than a few thousand people.

"Wenbian, concentrate all cavalry troops and prepare to leave the city." Zhang Yang said.

The sun has already set, and now he is out of the city? Shi Wenbing is a little confused.

"Brother, we are leaving the city now, and we may be ambushed by the Tartars in the darkness." Shi Wenbing said.

Ambush? Now the Tartars have long been killed by themselves, but they still dare to ambush themselves? After this battle, the main force of the Tartars has long disappeared. The remaining thousands of Tartars must not be allowed to slip back to Yangzhou. If they kill to attack Gaoyou Prefecture, no one of them can be left behind.

"Order Yuanheng's navy to march southward to block the Tartars on the border of Yangzhou and eliminate them all on the road."

Now that the Tartars have become frightened birds, they must not miss this good opportunity.

The defense battle of Gaoyou Mansion was over. After killing these Tartars, they would return to Xinghua and the salt field to eliminate these two Tartars.

I wonder what happened to Xinghua and the Salt Field, especially the Salt Field. Without a solid city wall to defend, can we successfully block the invading Tartars?

"Brother, I have seen you. My old Tang is worried about you." With the voice, a tall figure walked in.

"Dingchen," Zhang Yang said: "Why are you here?"

The order he gave to Tang He was to stick to Taizhou, but this Dingchen actually came to Gaoyou Mansion with his cavalry. He disobeyed the order. However, today, outside the city, Tang He took a few cavalry and killed the Tartars' catapult carts and crossbow machines and untied his own siege. This was a demerit.

"Brother, my scout found that a group of Tartars marched north with secret equipment. They were afraid that they would be unfavorable to me, so they brought two cavalry teams over. Unexpectedly, it was still too late and did not intercept them halfway. Fortunately, they finally killed them and did not let them succeed." Tang He said happily. "Brother, what reward should I give me?"

"Reward? The order I gave you was to be stationed in Taizhou. Who told you to come here?" Zhang Yang changed the subject and said, "What crime should we be punished if we disobey the military order?"

In fact, Tang He made a contribution to doing this. As a combat commander, he fully utilized his subjective initiative and was not limited to the rules and regulations. Tang He still had something to praise. However, he had to knock him to avoid being able to get his tail up to the sky.

"Brother, isn't my old Tang anxious? I'm afraid they are not good to Gaoyou Mansion. This time I'm the old Tang wrong." Tang He said, disobeying the battlefield, that's the one who wants to behead him.

"How is Taizhou? What if the Tartars attack Taizhou while you are away?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, Taizhou is as solid as a soup, absolutely no problem. I, Tang He, will go back now." Seeing Zhang Yang's bad expression, Tang He did not dare to take credit anymore. He would rather go back and guard his Taizhou.

"Wait, since you are here, then take your people to the salt farm to check it out. There has been no information from there. I don't know how they are." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother." Tang He was excited.

I don’t know if there was a problem with the pigeon halfway through, and I have never been able to contact the salt field. The salt field is my foundation and there must be no problems. Anyway, the main force of the province has been defeated, and there is no force within the province that can threaten me for the time being.

Since entering the state of combat readiness, the first battalion responsible for guarding the salt field has begun to dig trenches outside the salt field. For the Tatar cavalry, trenches are a new matter and a powerful weapon to deal with the Tatar cavalry. At the killing port, Tang He used the trenches to kill Nasuladin's cavalry to overturn their horses.

People hide in trenches and will not be attacked by the opponent's bows and arrows, while Tianque guns can shoot flexibly. Even if the Tartars rush through the trenches, they will not pose too much threat to the people in the trenches. Instead, the Tartars must beware of the horse's lapse and fall from the speeding horse, and the consequences must be very tragic.

Shiyi arranged two musket teams separately in the trenches. They would be the main force guarding the salt field, and the cavalry detachment was mainly responsible for assault tasks. With the mobility of the horses, the cavalry could go around the back of the enemy and encircle and annihilate the enemy.

In the past six months, Li Shanchang has been staying in the salt farm, responsible for the production and management of the salt farm. For Li Shanchang, doing logistics is his strength, and the salt farm has been operating normally. A large number of fine salts have been sold by Shixin and replaced with white silver and paper banknotes from the court.

Li Shanchang is a versatile person. Although he is a civil servant, he has been helping Shiyi plan the guards of the salt field and arrange the defense of the salt field without any leakage.

Unexpectedly, until the end of the Gaoyou Prefecture Defense War, he did not fight a decent battle with the Tartars.

The person responsible for attacking the salt field was the deputy envoy of Huaixi Xuanwei, Yexianbuhua. Yexianbuhua didn't want to fight at all. Like most of the *** troops, Yexianbuhua's army had no combat power at all, but when bullying the people, it was a great power.

In addition, there is also an indescribable way of wealth: asking for money from the rebel army.

Although it was an uprising army, there were probably only a few of them that did not violate the crime. Most of the small uprising army were just bandits. They had to rebel. Although they were also anti-Yuan Dynasty, they were also robbing money, food, and strong men everywhere.

Ye Xianbuhua was sent to suppress the bandits. The usual practice was to send a brave man over and discuss with the uprising army that I would let you go as much money as you give me. After discussing the amount, Ye Xianbuhua began to pretend to attack. The uprising army in front began to run, and as they ran, the uprising army began to throw things, and the official army behind began to pick up, and after they had enough, they stopped chasing them, and the bandit suppression ended.

Doing this is very suspicious of colluding with the enemy, but you are not afraid of it at all. The court's policies have changed every day. Today is the enemy, and maybe they will be recruited tomorrow. By then, it will not be considered colluding with the enemy.

Therefore, the army that did not spend money in the past was rich. They were borrowed and sent to attack the salt field, but they were happy. Everyone knew that the salt field was a big deal. How much fuel would it take to attack such a place?

Attacking the salt field? Ye Xianbuhua is not stupid. He had already found out that Zhang Shicheng's troops had very strong combat power. If they really fought, they would probably be enough to drink a pot by themselves. Therefore, Ye Xianbuhua had no intention of actually fighting. He symbolically surrounded him and sent someone in to blackmail the other party and withdraw his troops. It would be a matter of two things.

But, all this is not to spend your own thoughts.

Ye Xianbuhua sent cavalry to surround the salt field, so he followed the original method and prepared to send someone to discuss "business".

Shiyi and Li Shanchang here were both very surprised. They had never seen such Tartars before. They just surrounded them from afar and did not come up to attack, nor did they intend to attack, as if they were looking at the scenery.

After a while, a man holding a white flag came out of the Tartars' position.

These Tartars are interesting. Do they want to surrender before they even started the war? Shiyi is a little confused, so

"Brother opposite, don't kill me, I'm here to negotiate." The man said as he walked.

Although the two countries are fighting each other and not killing the envoys, they are not allowed to walk around the battlefield. Maybe if an arrow flies from afar, they will hang here. The person who comes shouts and walks forward.

"Stop, walk forward and I will open the fire!" the team in front was shouting.

"Teleman, send the order and let him come over." Shiyi said. He was full of curiosity about the purpose of this man coming.

Soon, the person who came was taken over.

"Sir, the youngest is Liu Fu, so I don't send me here. For the sake of peace between us, we should negotiate." The visitor said that he was not a Tartar, but a Han man. He was more proficient in negotiating these things.

"For peace? I brought so many cavalry to surround our salt field, and said it was for peace?" Shi Yi sneered: "If you want to attack, let him come over!"

Liu Fu said flatteringly: "Of course it's for peace, otherwise, Lord Yesen would have started attacking a long time ago. I was sent here just to find a solution."

The solution? The solution is to eliminate all of you on the outside position! Shi Yi said: "If you have something to say, I don't have time to nag you here. If the Tatar cavalry does not retreat, I will send troops out to attack." The last sentence naturally threatened the other party. I have no intention of sending troops out now. There are tens of thousands of Tartars outside, and I only have a thousand cavalry. If I rush out and are surrounded by Tartar cavalry, I will fight with my hands. If my army does not have the advantage, it is better to let the Tartars get close and eliminate them on the position.

"Please think clearly. We, Lord Yesen, are really sincere. As long as you agree to our request, we will never attack the salt field." Liu Fu said.

"What conditions are we going to put down our weapons and surrender?" Shiyi asked, "Are we going to recruit us?"

"Neither, neither is it," Liu Fu said quickly: "Now our army is approaching, but Lord Yesen did not launch an attack immediately for the sake of the interests of both sides. As long as you pay 5,000 taels of silver, we will withdraw our troops and ensure that there is no offense."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. What kind of army is this? When they came out to fight, they negotiated terms with the enemy. They paid 5,000 taels and stopped fighting. This was not like the Tartar army, but they were clearly beggar soldiers!

"No, no, I will send troops out to attack you for five thousand taels." Shi Yi said. Although he didn't know what the Tartars were thinking, the conspiracy was still very strong.

"Sir, please show your sincerity. I came here to negotiate with you at the risk of my life, just to find a solution, not to joke with you!" Liu Fu's tone was a little tough.

"I'm not kidding either. If I can't afford five thousand taels, I'll send troops out to attack." Shi Yi said.

There is no such beautiful thing? If you send troops to surround me, I will give you so much silver. Not to mention not, even if there is, you can't give it. How can there be such embarrassing things?

"Since five thousand taels are not possible, we can also reduce it. There are always three thousand taels, right?" Liu Fu changed his tone and reduced it by half.

Shi Yi suddenly felt that it would be great if Shi Xin was here. With Shi Xin's mouth, he might be able to really put Liu Fu in and let the other party pay him a few hundred taels of silver.

"There are three thousand taels, but if you want it, let you come and get it first." Shi Yi changed his tone.

"We are not available, so I can just take it." Liu Fu was overjoyed. If he had asked for 10,000 taels first, but now he changed his words to 5,000 taels, the other party would definitely agree.

"You take it? OK," Shiyi said, "Come, please serve me."

Holding a brush dipped in thick ink, Shi Yi wrote down a few crooked words: "Three thousand taels of silver."

"Give it, take it."

"Sir, please show your sincerity and stop teasing us anymore. Our patience is limited." Liu Fu was furious.

"Come and see off guests." Shi Yi said.

"Sir, you will regret it." Liu Fu said threatily.

"Okay, I'm waiting." Shi Yiman didn't care.

Watching the other party leave, Shi Yi still couldn't figure it out. Which one did the Tartars on the opposite side sing? It was so ridiculous. Do you think this would be a threat to yourself?

On the contrary, Shiyiba would not allow the opponent to come. At that time, using the muskets in the trenches to teach the Tartars a lesson that will never be forgotten. In this big rear, there are too few opportunities to fight the Tartars.

"Shiyi, I heard that the Tartars sent people to be lobbyists just now?" Li Shanchang walked in.

"Yes, they asked us to pay five thousand taels of silver and let us go." Shiyi said, "I don't know what trick the Tartars are doing."

?Li Shanchang thought for a while and understood: "This is not a trick, it should be true. It is said that this is how the Tartars in some places do it."

It's true? The corporal Yi came to beggar: "It turned out to be a beggar, and he wanted something to eat everywhere, but this time he came, he must get rid of their front teeth!"

How can such an army have any combat power? Shi Yi had an impulse to let the cavalry go out and fuck these beggars hard.

Liu Fu went back furiously, but Zaibuhua was also angry.

"I am kind and kind to leave you a way out. Who knows that you are ungrateful and dare to tease me like this." Ye Xianbuhua said, "You have to give them some color to let them know how powerful we are."

"Yes, sir, be sure to give him some color."

"Come!" Ye Xianbuhua shouted.

"Yes, sir." The guard walked in.

"Order the first team to loot the nearby villages! Arrest the villagers." Ye Bubu made up his mind.

If Shi Yi was present, he would definitely point at Yeshenbuhua's nose and curse: "If you don't dare to come up and fight me, you will vent your anger with the unarmed villagers. You are really a group of beggars!"

Of course, Ye Xianbuhua didn’t have this idea. In his opinion, everything was just let nature go. Since the other party refused to bow, then let’s make them bow their heads. Attack the salt field? It would cost a lot of casualties. If you go to loot the people, it would be much safer. At that time, look at the other party bowing their heads and not bowing their heads. At that time, you have to pay at least ten thousand taels with them!

If Genghis Khan knew, he would not know if he would jump out of the coffin, his descendants would have become so unreliable. In fact, looking at the entire Yuan Dynasty, there were not many troops with combat effectiveness. Most of the troops would be chased by the Red Turban Army and collapsed at once, and would have long since disappeared from their original courage.

The 100-man team who received the order was very happy and rushed to the village west with a shout. They had long wanted to vent.

Soon, heart-wrenching shouts, children's crying, and women's screams came from the village to the west. All of this excited the Tartar soldiers.

A stream of black smoke emerged from the village, and the excited Tartar soldiers had already begun to light the house.

"Sir Tang, there is something happening there!" Tang He and two cavalrymen from the 100-man team rushed over from the west.
