Official Ximen and Liu Huaisu waited for almost half an hour before Yu Wenfeng and the other seven finally caught up.
Originally, the plan was to arrive at Baoding Mansion before dark, so that the next day we could easily return to the capital, which is more than 300 miles away.
But now, due to Zi Shumin¡¯s procrastination and the foot power of other horses, it¡¯s nearly 600 miles from Jize Town to Baoding Prefecture, and I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to make it in the middle of the night. Considering the rest problem of several female compatriots, the senior officials of Ximen listened to Yu Wenfeng's suggestion and went to Dezhou Prefecture, then settled in Hejian Prefecture, and returned to the capital the next day Although the distance increased, this arrangement Firstly, the official road is smooth and the road is easy to walk. Secondly, the two-day itinerary is evened out, so there is no need to rush on the road, and you can return to the capital calmly the next day.
This time, the group of people ran lightly and slowly in pursuit. After walking for nearly an hour after a journey of more than a hundred miles, they could finally see the tall city wall of Dezhou Mansion not far ahead.
It was already around one o'clock in the afternoon, almost past lunch time, and everyone couldn't help but cheer up, and were about to rush their horses to go into the city for dinner.
Suddenly, from a dense forest to their left, twenty or thirty dark horses rushed out like lightning, rushing straight towards their official road It seemed as if they were going to intercept them in front.
The people on the horse all carried bows on their backs and held spears in their hands. They were all wearing black cloaks, as if a black whirlwind suddenly blew up during the day on a sunny day.
Yu Wenfeng recognized at a glance the man in his thirties with a sinister face who rushed in front. Even though these men had changed from Qing soldiers' uniforms to black outfits under their black cloaks, he immediately judged that they were the men who were surrounded that day. The group of Qing soldiers who chased and robbed the luxury carriage and pursued her and Ximending so hard that they jumped into the water and fled.
What made her eyes suddenly freeze was the sight of the black horse following the man, its black ziyi clothes fluttering in the wind, and the slim Master Jiujie sitting on it.
"But on the horses on both sides of Master Jiujie, sat Yingzaji and Na Yingfeng, who was as fat as a hill.
There is no explanation in the previous article, so this man with a sinister face is specially introduced here.
This guy is no ordinary person. He is the biological son of Nurhachi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and the thirteenth younger brother of Huang Taiji. Lai Mubu is also the son.
Nurhachi had many sons, but in the end he only regarded Huang Taiji as his heart and soul, and responded to all requests. In his eyes, the other sons were either greedy for money, lust, stupid, cunning, timid, or reckless Anyway, that's not the case. The shortcomings, even with those shortcomings, cannot be trusted.
Speaking of which, Nurhaci has had ups and downs in his life, and has gone through ups and downs. His ability to recognize and employ people is really not something he can boast about. Basically, the people who were determined by him are like this.
As for his son Lai Mubu, he liked him more at first, but gradually, Nurhachi discovered that although he was a little clever, he was fond of petty gains. How could such a son be of much use? !
This identification undoubtedly declares that Laimubu¡¯s political future will not be bright.
However, as the person involved, Lai Mubu did not realize his shortcomings. On the contrary, he believed that he had fallen out of favor because of the rejection and suppression by his brothers.
As for which brother is suppressing, of course, whoever is favored the most will suppress the most.
In this way, Lai Mubu chose the wrong team in the political arena of the Qing Dynasty He maintained close contact with his eldest brother, second brother and third brother, and disliked Huang Taiji, the eighth brother.
Of course, despite his shortcomings, he was unambiguous when leading troops to risk their lives in battle. This fact satisfied Nurhaci. When making personnel adjustments before his death, he was deliberately included in the Qing Dynasty's most heroic " The Eighth Company of Heroes" is the tenth Tatan of the first clan, and was also promoted to deputy general.
However, when Huang Taiji ascended the throne, Lai Mubu's good luck came to an end. Huang Taiji's wife settled the accounts one after another, and almost lost his life.
"It is true that no matter which generation of emperor is good at dealing with his elder brothers or younger brothers, Huang Taiji, who is extremely wealthy and ruthless, is especially good at it.
The first time he cleaned up, Huang Taiji punished this younger brother to death.
Because Huang Taiji changed his father's route of attacking the Ming Dynasty and unified Mongolia, in order to better rule the Mongolian region and consolidate the Qing regime, Huang Taiji decided to send people to Mongolia to serve. Unfortunately, a plague has begun to spread in the Mongolian grasslands. Countless people and animals have died. There is no use in catching the disease. The only way is to wait to die. This is more terrifying than going to the battlefield to fight. The death will definitely be miserable and useless. The bag is in ruins, and the people inside are all trying to escape from this place where the god of death is grinning and go to a non-epidemic area to save their lives. Who the hell is willing to go in? Huang Taiji thought about it, and thought of his thirteenth brother who disliked him, and of course he disliked him, and said to him, I want to give you a difficult task.task. Laimubu thought he was asked to fight without any ambiguity, so he immediately agreed happily. But when Huang Taiji told him that he was going to the Mongolian grassland for a temporary job, this guy was stunned on the spot His grandma just pushed me into the fire pit. But it was hard to disobey the emperor's order. He hesitated for a moment, but still promised Huang Taiji that he would do a good job and live up to the emperor's trust.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but this time he risked his life to show his allegiance, and the plague ended soon.
The second time to clean up, Lai Mubu was the fish pond affected, a small fish wearing a big string.
After the Mongol rule was consolidated, Huang Taiji sent troops from Mongolia to launch the Battle of Yongping against the Ming Dynasty. The leader at that time was Erbel Amin. Unfortunately, Laimubu was still serving in Mongolia at the time, and of course he also participated in this battle without hesitation. battle. The result was a disastrous failure. However, Huang Taiji only gave Amin a team of a few thousand people. He was besieged by nearly a hundred thousand troops of the Ming Dynasty, and reinforcements continued. However, Amin was cut off from all assistance. Anyone else would have failed. As long as he could save his life. Not bad. Huang Taiji had planned to deal with Amin, but Lai Mubu was just incidentally He and Amin became grasshoppers on a rope, and no one escaped from Huang Taiji's grasp. Huang Taiji put it nicely: "You are the son of Khan, and you are within the banner of Khan. It is really a shame to suffer such a defeat. Your crime deserves death In order to avoid death, you will be cut off from the position of deputy general and pursue the reward."
At this moment, Lai Mubu was demoted from his post by Bage to serve as a civilian. All these years of hard work on the battlefield were in vain You know, if you want to have status in the Qing Dynasty, you must have a title, and to have a title, you must have military exploits. . His position as deputy general was obtained from Zhang Jing, guerrillas fighting step by step on the battlefield. It was not easy, and it was gone as soon as he said it was gone.
However, Huang Taiji calmed down afterwards and felt that the punishment was a bit too harsh. In addition, Lai Mubu's performance was considered loyal. After neglecting Lai Mubu for a few years, he reinstated him as a third-class deputy general last year, which can be regarded as a middle-level cadre. .
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that this guy¡¯s ass was still hot in the official position of the third-class deputy general, and Huang Taiji caught him by the pigtails He hid the loot, and was punished for the third time by Myna.
Speaking of which, Lai Mubu was forced to have no choice. Since Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he has been suppressed everywhere. His official position is not prominent and he has no way to make money. In recent years, he has been living a civilian life. Of course, he does not have many brothers in life. My younger brother is rich, and now he has finally become an official again. He can't help but commit the habit of being greedy for petty gains He tried to make some extra money when others were unprepared, but this guy really got it all on his back, and was caught by Huang Taiji's spy. Revealed.
Huang Taiji was of course merciless and dismissed him again and sent him to the border to let him fend for himself.
Huang Taiji is much more powerful than his father. This trick not only severely punished his younger brother, but also harmed Da Ming Don't you like petty gains? Well, if you have the ability, go to Da Ming and rob him. No one will stop you.
It is precisely because Lai Mubu set a precedent that small groups of Qing soldiers invaded, burned, killed, and looted, and other disturbing incidents continued to occur in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Lai Mubu's life at the border became more comfortable. Moreover, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Even though he did not have an official position, he was still the emperor's younger brother. For more than a year, he actually lived at the border. Locally organized and trained a "special force" whose main business is "robbery". In addition to being self-sufficient, the results of each robbery are also handed over to the border troops This is of course for the Starlings to see. , hoping to be appreciated by Bago and transferred back to Shenyang for re-employment.
Of course Huang Taiji also saw it, but apart from allocating some military supplies to him, he said nothing. It was obviously to encourage him to go to Ming Dynasty to rob more.
Lai Mubu naturally understood Bago¡¯s intention, and he became more energetic and arrogant.
This time the Qing Dynasty suddenly launched an all-out war against the Ming Dynasty, and he believed that the opportunity for meritorious service had come.
