    The Tatars came to Liaodong with a very clear purpose!

    So a large number of rangers began to penetrate into Jinzhou in groups. They were like locusts, searching like a carpet!

    Every time they saw the village from a distance, they had hope in their eyes, but when they entered the village, there was a roar of unwillingness.

    Not even a pot or bowl was left behind!

    By this time, the Tatars had come to their senses.

    ¡°Obviously, they realized a terrible reality.

    Although they had made many false moves before, such as sending people to attack Datong, they also sent people to pretend to go to Duoyan Sanwei, which showed that everyone has the same origin and should help each other and be friendly, rather than conquer each other.

    Butthis long-distance attack was eventually leaked.

    Judging from the fact that these Han people retreated so completely, the Han people had received the news in advance at least half a month ago!  No, it is very likely that the secrets will be leaked earlier, because of such a thorough clearing of the country, based on the Tatars' understanding of Jinzhou, these civil and military officials in Jinzhou will never dare to make a hasty decision.

    Without the painful experience of the Ming Dynasty, actions like this would never have been so decisive.

    The Tatars still know the Ming Dynasty very well.

    ¡°If the news has been leaked in more than a monththen

    In the Chinese army's tent, the man named Little Prince angrily grabbed the dry and hard steamed cake and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. The food tasted like wax and was difficult to swallow. It even made him feel nauseous. There was nothing he could do about it.  It is the most luxurious food right now!

    With red eyes, he looked down at the map, and finally said ferociously: "The accompanying Han merchants kill them!"

    A clear and concise order.

    Since the existence of Oara and Tatar, the Ming Dynasty has only allowed official trade with the Tatars, which is called mutual trade.

    But this mutual trade is only from time to time. When the relationship is good, there will be trade. If the relationship is not good, there will naturally be no contact with each other.

    The Tatars live a very difficult life. They need a lot of salt and a lot of utensils. Even iron pots are luxuries in Tatars. At the same time, they also need a lot of tea because there are no vegetables in the grassland.  It is impossible to maintain health by simply eating meat, so the Tatars put tea leaves into mare's milk to supplement what later generations would call vitamins.

    Because of this huge demand, some unscrupulous merchants in the customs are naturally willing to take risks. They try their best to bring daily necessities out of the customs and trade with the Tatars. After going back and forth, everyone becomes familiar with them, and even the Tatars  The Tatars began to have close friendship with them.

    These Han merchants, who had long-term and stable trade with the Tatars, initially only supplied daily necessities. Later, they began to secretly transport swords and even gunpowder to the Tatars. They took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. Naturally, they did not serve the government.  Some people simply sent their family members out of the customs quietly to avoid having their families confiscated with the Tatars once the matter was revealed.

    Wherever the Tatar army went, the merchants would follow them. They even began to collect intelligence for the Tatars. It can be said that without these Han merchants, it would be more difficult for the Tatars to survive in the desert.  .

    But now, the little prince's eyes were fierce and he had murderous intent on his face.

    Even a Tatar with the highest IQ like him has very simple thinking!

    "The matter has been exposed. The people who can know the secret, apart from the Tatars, are these Han merchants. Their own people will definitely not betray themselves, so it is self-evident who betrayed themselves.

    And if these Han businessmen want to identify who is the spy, it is obviously a headache given the IQ of the Tatars. So, why not use the most effective method?  For example if they kill them all and feed them to the dogs, then their wealth in the grassland will be wiped out. Anyway, it has reached this point. In the long run, this approach will be detrimental to the Tatars.  But now it is unknown whether we can survive this cold winter. Who cares about the coming year?

    "After all, these Han merchants are just chamber pots. When they are useful, they take them out. When they are no longer useful, they just kick them away. This chamber pot is made of copper after all. After washing it, can't it still be used to hold soup?"  Being poor there is nothing to be particular about.

    After a while, a cry came from outside the big tent: "I want to see the Great Khan, I want to see the Great Khan, Great Khan, this villain is loyal to the Great Khan, to our Dayuan  , sweating profusely¡­¡±

    "I have food, and I am still storing a batch of food. I won't sell it this time. I will all show my respect to the Great Khan"

    SmallThe prince was unmoved. He subconsciously touched the smooth skull on his head with his greasy hands after taking the steamed cake.

    Hanging in front of him was a terrible question.

    The situation has been revealed and it¡¯s time to retreat.

    ¡°Yes, now the walls are clear and the country is clear, the Tatar army is short of food and clothing, and there are three Duoyan guards watching behind them, and what is in front of them is Jinzhou City.  This Jinzhou City is heavily fortified, with countless iron cannons, muskets, bows and arrows, and towering city walls!  The Tatars, who are good at riding and shooting, do not have the slightest advantage.

    Butcan we really withdraw at the drop of a hat?

    "The cold winter is coming. When the time comes, there will be piles of snow half as high as a man in the desert. The food reserves in the tribe are already insufficient. Where can we find food in this cold and frozen snowfield?

    Not being able to find food means that a large number of people and livestock will die this winter, which will cause even greater losses to the tribe than a tragic defeat.

    So change the attack direction to another direction?

    That's too late.

    Since it has been completely exposed in Jinzhou, the nearest fortress is hundreds of miles away. The entire Liaodong is probably becoming more strict and will not give the Tatars the slightest chance.  What's more, there is already a lack of food and grass. If we continue to go deeper, we are courting death.

    It seems there is only one way.

    Capture Jinzhou.

    The little prince's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he punched the simple sheepskin map hard, aiming in the direction of Jinzhou. The scars on his face became scarleter, and they were ferocious and eye-catching. They burst out from his throat.  In one simple word: "Attack!"

    The Tatars began to attack.

    The Jinzhou soldiers and civilians in the city have begun to prepare to defend the city under Ouyang Zhi's spiritual call.

    Outside the customs, there are extremely vicious Tatars!  The Han people do not need to be urged with whips to defend the city, because everyone understands that once the enemy outside the city breaks through, no one will be spared. Outside the customs, there are many people who have learned from the Tatars.  By means of this method, Jinzhou has now become a fortress for everyone. This fortress protects not only themselves, but also their wives, children, and children. They don't have any choice, nor will they have any luck.

    So everyone began to take action. Officials from top to bottom, as well as countless soldiers and civilians, began to support the city. The roar of iron cannons was deafening.

    The earth was shaking, and the iron cavalry, like a tide, ran like crazy towards Jinzhou. The Tatars also began to use stone cannons and began to throw huge stones into the city.

    But no matter who it is, no matter whether they are timid in their hearts, whether they are uneasy or fearful of their future, as long as they can be seen from a distance, they are either in the city, or appearing in the camp, or patrolling the urn city.  Ouyang Xiu compiled it, and people became confident.

    Ouyang Xiuzuan is like a green pine. No matter where he is in the city, no matter what situation he faces, he is always calm. His face is always expressionless, but his body is tall and tall, standing proudly.  When I saw Ouyang Xiuman, I felt like I had received a reassurance. Ouyang Xiuman had a solution.

    It¡¯s done!

    The system of the Ming Dynasty is quite complicated. To put it simply, whether in the court or at the local level, if power is a piece of meat, when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he took a butcher's knife and chopped the meat into pieces.  , no matter they are middle officials, prefects, commanders, transfer envoys, patrol censors, and various officials, everyone will get such a piece, and then you stare at me and I will stare at you. No one will be allowed to have arbitrary power. From then on,  The imperial court established a governor, which changed this situation, but the governor of Liaodong was not stationed in Jinzhou after all. Now faced with this special situation, under the huge oppression of the Tatars outside the city, no one dared to fight anymore, but after all  No one was convinced by anyone, and in the end, Ouyang Zhi, the Hanlin editor who had collapsed before the collapse of the mountain, became the biggest common denominator.

    First of all, he is an imperial envoy of the imperial court, appointed on a temporary basis. He does not have many connections in the local area and has never offended anyone.

    Secondly, he represents the imperial court. As long as he is still in Jinzhou, he is the imperial envoy.

    The most important thing is that he is so scary, so scary that even if the stone cannon roars from outside the city and smashes into the city, dozens of feet away, the body will be covered with blood and flesh, the wooden house will collapse, and everyone around him will lie on the ground in fear.  , while trembling with fear, Ouyang Xiuzhuan was still standing. He regarded the stone cannon that was "destroying heaven and earth" as nothing. The dull expression on his face seemed to be mocking the Tatars outside the city, which was not worth mentioning.

    More and more officials are willing to get together with Ouyang Zhi. By following him, they feel that their safety is guaranteed. Therefore, wherever Ouyang Zhi goes, commanders, lieutenants, patrolmen, and thousands of households flock to follow him.  back.

    " Such shouting and support made people mistakenly think that the imperial court had sent a governor to guard the city.

    Liu Jin was also furious. In fact, he always thought Ouyang Zhi was quite stupid, so he secretly discussed with the lieutenant general Wang Bao: "This Ouyang Zhi is a nerd, don't"

    Wang Bao sneered, "We are at a critical moment of life and death. Do you think we still respect you?"

    Wang Bao interrupted him unceremoniously: "If Ouyang Xiuzuan was an idiot, the hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in this city would have died long ago. How can you and I discuss Ouyang Xiuzuan's talent and courage? Let's listen to these words.  I don¡¯t even want to hear it, Eunuch Liu, Your Highness is the Crown Prince, but you are still Your Highness the Crown Prince, so you¡¯d better be careful what you say.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp; Liu Jin was also upset.
