Chapter 605: Give the Tartars a small meeting gift

Mo Yu woke up in a daze in the morning and suddenly found that he was quiet around him. It was a bit strange. He walked out quietly and saw that there were many Jinyiwei standing outside the door, which seemed to be at least twenty people. They blocked the entire alley. With Jinyiwei appearing, the other residents in the alley had long been hiding where they had long been.

There was light snow floating in the sky. Sliced ​​snowflakes as big as fingernails fell down, dyeing the earth mottled white, which looked very ugly. Many Jinyiwei had snowflakes left on their bodies. It seemed that they should have come very early and then waited for Mo Yu to wake up here. Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal army and had supreme authority. Ordinary officials did not put them in the eyes of Jinyiwei at all.

They were waiting outside but did not dare to disturb the people in the house. Mo Yu suddenly realized that he had become a character from some unknown time! Even the Jinyiwei dared to break into his own doghouse! If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, it would be incredible!

Among these Jinyiwei, there was a man dressed in a civil servant. He was lowering his head impatiently and walking around the bluestone slab at Mo Yu’s door. Because it was a slum, the bluestone slab had long been broken, and the cracks of the stones were mixed with broken snowflakes. It was the cold winter month now, and the weather was very cold in the morning, let alone snow.

The north wind blew, and it was cut on his face like a knife. The thick-dressed Jinyiwei's cheeks were also blown as if it was burned red. The civil servant was wearing only thin clothes under the official uniform. Therefore, he had to walk back and forth to resist the cold of the twelfth month. But his boots seemed to have cracks, and the melted snow water penetrated through the cracks, making him feel very uncomfortable. Every once in a while, he had to shake his boots and shake off the snow water inside.

Shi Kefa!

This civil servant is Shi Kefa!

When he was escorting the Tartars' heads into Beijing, Mo Yu and Shi Kefa rushed to the road together, and they were naturally so familiar that they could not be familiar with it anymore. Shi Kefa was thrifty and had a clean and honest style, which Mo Yu knew. Surprisingly, there was a smile on the corner of Shi Kefa's mouth. At the same time, Mo Yu discovered that his replenishment clothes had also changed from the original sixth-grade egret to the fourth-grade eagle.

"Dragon Master Shi?" Mo Yu said tentatively.

"Young Master Mo, are you okay?" Shi Kefa said gently.

"Has the Chief of Shi Langzhong regained his post?" Mo Yu stared at the tonic on Shi Ke's official uniform and asked curiously. He walked closer and looked carefully. Yes, it was indeed a fourth-grade eagle.

"I am now a doctor in the Ministry of Rites." Shi Kefa said with a gloomy expression.

"Ministry of Rites? Did you actually go to the Ministry of Rites? Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? Is it the Ministry of Personnel?" Mo Yu asked exaggeratedly, looking disbelief.

"The head of the six ministries is the Ministry of Rites." Shi Kefa said expressionlessly.

"God! You were actually excluded from the Ministry of Rites!" Mo Yu continued to scream exaggeratedly.

The six ministries are collectively called the six ministries. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the world's etiquette, and even the emperor's ascension ceremony was arranged by the Ministry of Rites, so it is called the head of the six ministries. In fact, the Ministry of Personnel is the most popular in personnel affairs, the Ministry of Revenue is the most popular in management of money and grain, and the Ministry of War drinks the blood of soldiers and blood, and the Ministry of Works can fill the private bags. The Ministry of Justice is a unique way to abuse the law. The Ministry of Rites is a typical clean yamen. Unless you have enough courage to receive bribes in the annual imperial examination.

Mo Yu looked at the Jinyiwei around him and said with a strange expression: "Dr. Shi, you are not here to capture me, right? You also brought so many Jinyiwei's personal troops! You scared me!"

Shi Kefa said simply and clearly: "Mo Yu, pack up our things, we are going to leave the city."

Mo Yu said suspiciously: "Get out of the city? What are you going to do when you go out of the city?"

Shi Kefa said helplessly: "The court sent me to meet your governor."

Mo Yu frowned and said, "You want to see the governor, just go by yourself, why come to me? You also bring so many Jinyiwei?"

Shi Kefa's expression was a little gloomy and he said slowly: "This is a rule. Rules, do you understand?"

Mo Yu nodded in a vague way.

It is really rare that the court actually applied rules to the governor! In the past, when they wanted to meet Zhang Zhun, they sent people directly, and there was no need to say hello in advance. Now, Zhang Zhun's status has improved, and they have to start applying rules. What are the rules? It is to distance people from each other. For example, if someone wants to meet Chongzhen, they can't break into the Forbidden City directly. They have to recommend first and obtain approval before they can meet Chongzhen.

Now, Shi Kefa wants to meet Zhang Zhun, but he doesn't mean to meet him at any time. He wants to introduce him and get Zhang Zhun's approval. Although Zhang Zhun and Shi Kefa knew each other early in the morning, they had close contacts. Unfortunately, Shi Kefa and Zhang Zhun are two different formations. If there were no accidents, the two should not have the opportunity to work together.

Shi Kefa wanted to meet Zhang Zhun, and this was a serious matter. Of course, Mo Yu had to do it seriously. After packing up his things, Mo Yu and Shi Kefa went out of the city together. Shi Kefa had prepared horses for him. The twenty Jinyiwei who escorted them also had war horses. The military situation was urgent, and there were no war horses. It took at least three or four days from the capital to Hejian Mansion. The court could not afford so much time.

Because the Tartars were close to the capital, all the city gates in Beijing had been closed, and they would be allowed to be allowed only by holding special written orders. Otherwise, even if the Jinyiwei came forward, they would have no face. After coming out of the capital, the group quickly galloped south. They were worried about encountering the Tartar cavalry, and they were quite nervous.

Mo Yu was actually a little nervous inside. This time the Tartars invaded in a big way, and rumors had already flown all over the sky. In order to relieve his inner tension, he deliberately said lightly: "Dragon Master Shi, I think the army of the court is quite powerful, and we don't need the governor to intervene."

Shi Kefa said expressionlessly: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, but there are so many people and great power!"

Mo Yu began to act like a scoundrel and said with a smile: "If there are too many people, our Hu Ben Army is really not many, and it is less than a single finger from the imperial army. Shi Langzhong, you really came to ask for help from our governor, right?"

Shi Kefa still said expressionlessly: "I am going to meet your governor under the order of the court. For the specific reasons, when I meet your governor, I will explain in detail."

Mo Yu said with a smile: "Tsk! Keep it secret! So low! I can guess with my knees that the court was worried that it could not handle the Tartars, so he wanted to ask the Governor to come forward. Right? Still think I am a child? What's the secret? We, the Hu Ben Army, have known it for a long time. However, let me tell you, our Governor may not be willing to take action!"

Shi Kefa said coldly: "Do you want to stand by and watch?"

Mo Yu said with a smile: "I don't know this. However, it is impossible to want the horse to run but not eat grass. You also know that we are not the same as you... Tartars!"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yu suddenly screamed.

I saw only the field next to me, and suddenly more than a dozen cavalrymen flashed out.

Because they appeared very abruptly and did not greet him in advance, they really scared Mo Yu and the others. The twenty Jinyiwei hurriedly drew their swords and guarded the two of them in the middle. Although Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal army, they were full of glory, but their weapons and equipment were always embroidered and there was no armor. When they really encountered the Tartars, they had to be slaughtered.

“It’s so unlucky…”

"Gaga! It's our own people!"

After Mo Yu screamed, he calmed down and couldn't help but scream.

It turned out that what appeared beside them was a group of cavalry from the Tiger Army.

I heard that it was my own people, and those nervous Jinyiwei were relieved. If the other party was really a Tartar, they would have all been ruined here. Maybe they were too overjoyed that an Jinyiwei's embroidered spring sword fell directly to the ground.

The soldiers around Mo Yu who suddenly appeared were indeed soldiers from the Tiger Ben Army’s Leopard Cavalry Camp. The team led by the Leopard Cavalry was the team of the Leopard Cavalry. The soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry had long surrounded the Jinyiwei. Mo Yu hurriedly shouted not to misunderstand, and at the same time revealed his identity, and took out the Tiger Cavalry token given to him by Zhang Zhun.

Yu Yingyou rode a horse to Mo Yu and saw the tiger army marks shown by Mo Yu. He was sure that they were his own people and his face became gentle. He waved his hand and asked the leopard cavalry around him to hang his muzzle down, and said deeply: "I thought that at this time, some official troops dared to come out of the capital in a big way. It turned out to be his own people!"

Mo Yu asked curiously: "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Yu Yingyou shook his head solemnly, saying that he could not tell them.

Mo Yu said disapprovingly: "You want to give the Tartars a meeting gift, right?"

Yu Yingyou did not shake his head, indicating that he had defaulted.

Shi Kefa's face was immediately shocked, and the Jinyiwei was even more surprised.

When other troops heard that the Tartars went south, they all wanted to have two legs and hurriedly retreat into the town, but refused to leave the town. Only the soldiers of the Tiger Army were not afraid of the Tartars at all, and they wanted to take the initiative to trouble the Tartars. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be looking forward to the Tartars very much, and they were simply a group of monsters. By the way, others were in Huang County, but they killed thousands of Tartars in one breath. Just for this, the Jinyiwei could not help but admire them.

In fact, Yu Yingyou and the others did not mean to go north to trouble the Tartars. They just came here to reconnaise the enemy situation and created a tense atmosphere. Didn’t Dong Shuyan want to traffic in the population? Of course, Zhang Zhun had to help. The Hu Ben Army cavalry galloped back and forth on the wilderness of Northern Zhili, and felt as if thousands of troops were coming over, and the atmosphere naturally became tense.

Some people who didn't know the details even thought that the Hu Ben cavalry was the Tartars, and they would run desperately when they encountered it. With the guidance of those who were interested, they would run towards Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture. Yu Yingyou led his team all the way north, and had successfully allowed thousands of local residents to flee in advance. If they didn't run away quickly and the Tartars arrived later, they would definitely suffer from murder.

"Are there Tartars in the south?"

Mo Yu asked the most important question.

"No, don't worry, go!"

Yu Yingyou said affirmatively.

Mo Yu and the others were at ease to set off. After seeing the Hu Ben Army cavalry, his nervousness naturally disappeared, and he hummed a small song easily along the way. The Jinyiwei beside him was relieved and he also lost the previous sense of urgency. The Hu Ben Army was right next to them, so what else would they have to worry about? Even if the Tartars came, they would be intercepted by the Hu Ben Army.

After Shi Kefa and the others left, Yu Yingyou and the others continued patrolling. They searched all the way north and unknowingly came to the ground of Bazhou. Bazhou is the future Bazhou City, Hebei Province, which is located directly south of Beijing, about 200 miles away from Beijing. The surrounding terrain is flat, open terrain and fertile fields, which is very suitable for agricultural production.

However, what Yu Yingyou and the others saw was not the busy scene. All they saw was the empty fields and desolation. In their sight, they could basically not see the working people, as if there was no one around. The surroundings were quiet, and there was no chicken or dog barking. This place was ravaged by the Tartars last year, and nine out of ten rooms were empty and almost razed to the ground. It has not recovered yet. I heard that the Tartars are coming again, and all the remaining families have fled south.

"Da da da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the north.

Yu Yingyou and others immediately became alert. He jumped off the horse quickly, lay on the ground, pressed his ears to the ground, and listened carefully. The sound of horse hooves came from north to south, and it was very likely the vanguard of the Tartars. He waved his hand, and the other leopard cavalry immediately dispersed, forming an encircling formation.

A moment later, five furry figures appeared on the field. Their horse's hooves shattered the scattered snowflakes on the ground. Against the snow-white background, their almost black appearance was very easy to identify.

"Tartars!"

"Tartars!"

"Tartars!"

Yu Yingyou and others immediately identified it.

That's right, the five furry cavalry were the vanguards of the Tartars. Because it was winter, the whole body of the Tartars was wrapped tightly, as if they were a huge bear. Because they were cavalry, their armor was not exposed. If they were not mistaken, they should be the scouts of the Tartars. According to information, the scouts of the Tartars were usually in groups of five people.

The vanguard of the Tartars was also a little surprised when he met the cavalry of the Hu Ben Army. Then, one of the Tartars shouted, and the other Tartars bent their bows and arrows, and then rushed towards the Hu Ben Army cavalry. Looking at the actions of the Tartars, they knew that they must have regarded the leopard cavalry as ordinary Ming cavalry. The actions of the Tartars did not take the leopard cavalry seriously at all!

"Bang!"

Yu Yingyou raised his hand and shot him.

A Tartar cavalry suddenly fell off the horse's back.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Other leopard cavalry fired at the same time.

The gunshots shook the lonely fields around them.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

The other four Tartars fell off their horses one after another.

A small team of leopard cavalry had sixty people, and it was no problem to deal with the five scouts of the Tartars. The five careless Tatars paid a huge price for their recklessness. The mottled snow was also made even more ugly by blood from east to west. The blood penetrated into the snow, and the thin snow continued to melt.

Soon, the bodies of the five Tartars were dragged together, and ten war horses were seized. Why did the five Tartars have ten war horses? Because each Tartar has two horses, which are used in rotation on the road. This is the most basic configuration as a scout.

Yu Yingyou carefully looked at it and found that one of the five Tartar scouts was a red-armored soldier, and the other four were ordinary Tartars. On the backup war horses of each Tartar, he also found a deer-skin pocket, which was filled with things. When he opened it, he found that it was all gold and silver jewelry that the Tartars had robbed. Some gold and silver jewelry had solidified dark red blood on it. Needless to ask, the Han people along the way must have suffered their poisonous hands and all their property was robbed.

"It's really a Tartar!"

"It's the Tartars' striker!"

"The Tartars' forward actually arrived in Bazhou!"

The leopard cavalry soldiers around them were quietly talking to themselves.

Information said that the large Tartars' troops had not arrived in the capital yet. Unexpectedly, their vanguard scout had already arrived in Bazhou and to the south of the capital. The Tartars' scout was really awesome! He actually ran to such a far place!

In fact, every time the Tartars went south, the scouts of their vanguards were very far away. It was not surprising that the scouts appeared south of the capital without reaching the capital. In the past, the Ming army did not dare to confront the Tartars outside the city, and they also developed the bad habit of going wherever the Tartars wanted, and they were unscrupulous and domineering. As a result, this time, they fell under the guns of the Hu Ben cavalry.

The scouts of the Tartars were always active outside the world, just like the Ming army's night, no one could directly control them. Therefore, the locations of their presence were often quite far from the large army. It was difficult to judge the location of the large army based on the scope of the scout's activities. Because all five Tartars were killed, Yu Yingyou and the others did not have the opportunity to ask for confessions.

"Ret the body up!"

"Take it back!"

Yu Yingyou shouted calmly.
Chapter completed!
