    Tu Liyang, who was ordered by Huang Taiji to assassinate Tang Feng, had already been waiting near the city gate when the Ming army entered the city, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate him.  But in the end, because the Ming army invaded in large numbers and fought with the Jin army, Tuliyang was also affected, and finally had to retreat to the palace temporarily.  Because he knew that in that situation, he couldn't get close to Tang Feng at all, and he had to know that there were thousands of guards nearby who were always on guard.

    But Tulyan was a man with a lot of combat experience after all. After seeing that the assassination at the city gate failed, he thought of the palace.  Because this is where Tuliyang has lived for many years, he is extremely familiar with every plant, tree, brick and stone. He can find the best place and time to assassinate him here.  At the same time, once Tang Feng takes control of the overall situation, he will inevitably come here, which gives him ample opportunities to seize the opportunity and kill with one strike.

    So Tulyan returned to the palace. Because he was old and inconspicuous, he dressed up as an ordinary old eunuch in the palace.  When he came back, he saw the corpses of Huang Taiji and others, which strengthened his belief in killing Tang Feng. It was just because Tang Feng was surrounded by soldiers before and couldn't find any chance of success, so he didn't  Take action.  But this time, when Tang Feng came in again and there were only a dozen guards around him, he knew that the opportunity had come.

    There were no fewer people around Tang Feng than now, so Tuliyang took action decisively.  In order to hit the target with one move, Tuliyang went all out and pounced on Tang Feng like a big eagle. At the same time, his hands were already attacking Tang Feng's vitals.

    Tang Feng and the guards around him were greatly surprised when an old man who was sweeping the floor suddenly rose up.  Fortunately, these people were not weak. They were able to protect Tang Feng and they had extraordinary abilities. Although they were suddenly attacked, they still responded immediately.

    The two closest to Tang Feng had already taken a step forward to block him behind them, while the other seven simultaneously waved their weapons to attack Tuli Yang who was in mid-air.  Their purpose was not to hurt the assassin with one move, but to force him back. As long as they could temporarily repel him, Tang Feng would be safe.

    But their actions were all within Tuli Yang's expectation. Facing the swords attacking his vital parts, he didn't even blink. He had been stabbed many times, but he still rushed straight towards Tang Feng.  location.  He knew the situation very well. Although he was very skilled in martial arts, it was impossible to kill Tang Feng and escape unscathed under the protection of so many people.  In order to be foolproof, he had decided to fight tooth and nail. It didn't matter even if he died, as long as he could kill Tang Feng and avenge the Great Khan.

    This was beyond everyone's expectations. They thought that once they attacked the assassin's vital points, he would definitely dodge. Who would have thought that this man completely ignored his own injuries and still attacked Tang Feng. This made everyone  The guards were stunned for a moment.  However, the weapons in their hands still hit Tuliyang's body, making several bloody gashes on his chest and other places.  But this can't take his life. Tuliyang has already brought his martial arts to the extreme. With the constant flow of internal energy in his body, a lot of the force of the weapons that hit him has been removed, so he only suffered a little.  Skin injuries are not fatal.  Of course, this state cannot last long. Soon his movements will slow down due to injuries, and he will be unable to resist.  But before that, he was sure to kill the two people standing in front of Tang Feng and then kill Tang Feng.

    The two forward strikes quickly reached the two soldiers protecting Tang Feng. Only two muffled sounds were heard, and the two guards who protected Tang Feng's safety with their lives fell to the ground.  They are very brave and are fierce warriors on the battlefield, but when they meet a master in martial arts, they are no match for them.

    At this time, everyone else was shocked. Although they tried their best to chop at Tuli Yang, even if they could cut his body into pieces, they could not save Tang Feng's life. This made everyone's hearts skip a beat.  It sank.

    After Tuliyang knocked down the two men, he then attacked Tang Feng.  Suddenly his movements slowed down, because he suddenly realized that the person he was attacking was actually someone he knew, and was actually the person who saved his life back then.

    Back then, Tuliyang was ordered to sneak into the Central Plains, but his identity was discovered by people from the Central Plains martial arts community, and he was subsequently hunted down by many masters.  As a result, he was seriously injured because he was outnumbered, and finally came to Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.  There, Tang Feng, who was studying hard at home in a cold window, saved his life. Of course, at that time, Tang Feng didn't know this person's true identity and just thought he was a seriously injured old man.

    Tuliyang lived in the Tang family for more than a year. He did not return to the Kingdom of Jin until his injuries were completely recovered and the incident was forgotten.  During this period, in order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he taught him how to solve puzzles.  Until he left without saying goodbye, Tang Feng's family didn't know that this mysterious injured old man was actually a spy from the Kingdom of Jin.A few years ago, when Tang Fengzhan came to the Kingdom of Jin and caused chaos here, and then asked Jieyuan to sneak attack Huang Taiji, the two masters and apprentices had fought against each other.  But Tuliyang never thought that this person would be the one who destroyed Dajin. Now he regrets why he didn't kill him in the first place. If he had killed him earlier, Dajin would not be in the situation he is today.

    Because the person who appeared in front of him actually knew him, Tuliyang couldn't help but be stunned.  But he was a master after all, and he quickly reacted and took action again, showing no mercy because Tang Feng had saved him.  His whole life has been dedicated to Dai Jin, and the things Huang Taiji has told him must be completed even if he dies.

    But just as he was stunned, Tang Feng quickly raised his right hand, holding a gun there.  After being assassinated, Tang Feng reached into his arms and took out the firecracker he had just obtained.  Although protected by these people, Tang Feng did not give up on his own protection, and this time he saved his life.

    He didn't see clearly who was coming towards him, so when Tuliyang knocked down the two guards blocking him and continued to attack him, he immediately raised his right hand and then skillfully pulled the button  the trigger.  Fortunately, this handgun has been greatly improved. It is no longer the old-fashioned musket that needs to be loaded with gunpowder first and then lit with the fuse before it can be fired. Instead, as long as the trigger is pulled, the flint behind it can be driven, thus firing.  new weapons.  That's why Tang Feng was able to shoot at the critical moment.

    "Bang!" After a sound, a cloud of thick smoke rose up in front of Tang Feng.  But Tuliyang let out a strange scream and fell sideways.  He was shot in the face, and there was a bloody hole in his forehead. He was dead.  But the guards did not stop attacking. After they roared angrily, the swords in their hands went straight towards Tuliyang's body.

    After a few "puff" sounds, he became completely unable to move, and his body was cut into pieces.  Tang Feng looked at the assassin's body with lingering fear and let out a long breath.  At this time, he carefully looked at the appearance of the dead assassin in front of him, and frowned at the first glance.

    Although Tuliyang's face had been beaten to a pulp, Tang Feng could still vaguely recognize that this person was acquainted with him.  He guessed the identity of the person in front of him by contacting the things he had mentioned before to solve his doubts.  "It turns out to be him. I didn't expect him to be so loyal and powerful. However, the era of being able to dominate the world with one's own martial arts has passed. He is just sending his own death." After sighing secretly, Tang Feng ordered: "  Let's dig a hole and bury him. He dares to assassinate me at this time. He is also an amazing person."

    The guards came to their senses at this time, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces. If Tang Feng hadn't taken action himself, he would have died at the hands of this person.  Seeing what they were thinking, Tang Feng did not blame them. He just smiled and said: "Don't publicize this matter. The brothers who died should be buried well and receive more compensation."

    "Yes!" Someone immediately carried three corpses and buried them. Fortunately, many people had died in Shenyang in the past few days, so there was no need to worry about having no place to bury them.

    Although he was only frightened once, Tang Feng also learned a lesson. This is the territory of the Jin Kingdom after all, and he must not relax his vigilance just because he has won the victory.  Thinking about it, even later generations of Americans were often on tenterhooks after conquering Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, I had to be more careful.  So he immediately decided to leave the palace and return to the army to stay.

    At this time, it was finally concealed by Tang Feng. He knew that if others knew about it, the Jin people would be purged, and more people would be killed by then.  Although he wanted to destroy his clan, he didn't want to commit too many crimes. As long as the Jin people were willing to obey his wishes, Tang Feng could still spare them.  Because he believed that as long as these people were moved to the Central Plains area, allowed to take root there, and understand the advanced nature of agricultural civilization, these people would quickly integrate into the Han system.  In this way, the Jin Kingdom or the Manchus will no longer exist.

    But all this has to wait until the people of the Jin Kingdom give him an explanation first. I wonder if the Jin people, who have always been fierce in their folk customs, will bow their heads under such pressure.  If they really refused to cut off their braids, then Tang Feng would not be merciful. He could not leave these disasters here to cause trouble for future generations.

    After calming down his mind slightly, Tang Feng appeared in front of everyone again.  However, because he had just been assassinated, he had a somewhat chilling air about him, which made the people of Jin Kingdom moved when they saw his appearance.

    "Have you guys thought about it? Should you follow my army back and become obedient citizens of my Ming Dynasty and live a peaceful life from now on, or would you rather die here for your Kingdom of Jin?" Tang Feng glanced at him with a serious look.  Passed the frontA row of golden faces, waiting for their final answer.

    In order to match Tang Feng's words and put more pressure on them, all the soldiers drew their swords after he finished speaking and stared closely at the backs of some people's necks. It seemed that as long as they shook their heads, they would be killed.  It was like a knife being struck on the heads of these people.

    There was silence. Just when Tang Feng was impatient and wanted to kill a few people as a warning, a man from the Jin Kingdom who was at the front finally couldn't bear the pressure and stood up suddenly, grabbing him from behind.  The thin braid of his hair said: "II am willing to surrender to the Celestial Empire!" As he said this, he pulled out a meat-cutting knife from his waist and cut his braid into two pieces.

    Everyone looked at him, some with contempt, some with other meanings.  Many people recognized his identity. This man was just a scholar in Shenyang City who had repeatedly failed to get an official position.  Precisely because he liked reading since he was a child and was very thin, people around him looked down upon him, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to jump out at this time.  Everyone feels that their previous judgments were correct, and the more books they read, the less spineless they become.

    But Tang Feng smiled. He knew that as long as one person took the initiative in this situation, more people would follow his approach.  In order to completely shake the determination of these people, he spoke again: "Okay! Since you admire the Celestial Empire, my father-in-law will reward you generously. Come, give him a hundred taels of silver. After you return to the Central Plains, I will reward you."  Someone will arrange a piece of land for you, and you won¡¯t be someone else¡¯s slave!¡±

    "Thank you, sir!" The man quickly saluted and thanked.  He also made the decision to betray at this time because he had suffered so much from the people around him and had opinions about Dajin.  Now it seems that I made the right decision, at least my food and clothing will be secure from now on.

    Although many people despised his performance, under the strong pressure of the Ming army, these people had to bow their heads.  Anyway, the first person had already surrendered, and the others no longer had such heavy ideological burdens. Soon many people stood up one by one, and then cut off their braids, saying that they were willing to follow the Ming army.  Go to the Central Plains.

    With the trees falling and the hozens scattered, the Kingdom of Jin has reached the brink of collapse. After some threats, how can those ordinary people commit suicide?  Nearly 80,000 of the nearly 100,000 people who were taken here soon voluntarily cut off the braids on their heads. As for the remaining 20,000, most of them were young people with strong blood, and most of them were even golden soldiers who took off their clothes.  .  Tang Feng no longer had any compassion for such people. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers stepped forward and captured them.

    These people want to resist, but only a handful of them still have weapons in their hands. What they are facing are Ming army officers and soldiers holding long weapons or even firearms in their hands. Once they resist, they will be killed in court.  So within a short time, those 20,000 people were either tied up or killed on the spot.  This scene fell in the eyes of those who had surrendered, and they were even more shocked. Only then did they realize that the Han people were cruel and could kill without blinking an eye.

    After clearing away these die-hards, Tang Feng smiled and said to the others: "You can rest assured that our Ming Dynasty is rich in the world and has great tolerance. We will not embarrass you because you were our enemies. However, if you are  If you have any other thoughts, don't blame my ruthless men. Now I will give you three days to prepare. Prepare your family and belongings. After three days, I will take you back to the Central Plains. From now on, you will not have to go back to the Central Plains.  Suffering from various disasters, we no longer have to worry about the harvest and not having enough to eat.¡±

    Everyone looked better after hearing this.  Indeed, over the years, due to the continuous cold weather, many livestock have froze to death, and many people have starved to death. This is why the Jinrenhui launched a war against the Ming Dynasty.  Now that Tang Feng could give them this guarantee, everyone felt relieved. They no longer regretted the decision they had made. For the people of Shengdou, the most realistic thing was still how to survive. As for themselves,  What country they are from is secondary to them.

    After sending everyone back, Tang Feng ordered people to take the captured 20,000 people outside the city and kill them.  He had already decided to completely cripple the Kingdom of Jin, so killing this few people was expected.  He will never show mercy to the person he should kill, which is also a warning to other golden people.

    Although Hong Chengchou disagreed with this, Tang Feng had already made his decision, and none of his subordinates could say much.  However, he still raised his concerns later: "My lord, if you send these people to the Central Plains, how can our Ming Dynasty get so much land?"

    Tang Feng chuckled: "Why, have you forgotten what I did in the court before this? Those clans have occupied so much land. In addition to returning it to the people who had the occupied land according to previous records, we stillHowever, there is still a lot of land that is uncultivated.  Wouldn¡¯t it be just right to let them do the farming now?  In addition, too many people have died in Shaanxi and other places due to constant civil strife, and a lot of land has been laid waste, so these people can be replenished.  In this way, it will not only allow them to support themselves, but also prevent the Ming Dynasty from reducing its food production due to the reduction of land. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?  "

    "It turns out that the Duke has already thought of countermeasures. I really admire him!" Hong Chengchou said sincerely.

    In fact, it¡¯s not that he couldn¡¯t think of this level, but because he was inherently constrained by his thoughts.  In his opinion, the land owned by those clans belonged to the imperial court, so how could it be handed over to the people, let alone the people of the Jin Kingdom.  But Tang Feng had no scruples about this at all, and this was what he couldn't notice.

    Three days later, Tang Feng took the remaining more than 100,000 horses and escorted nearly 100,000 Jin people back to the Central Plains.  Although there are still many people in the Kingdom of Jin fleeing, they can no longer make a big splash.  And without the ordinary people who can support them, these people of the Jin Kingdom will soon become lonely ghosts, and will eventually be annihilated in the face of the cruel natural environment.

    On this day, there are still two days before the New Year's Eve in the third year of the Ming Dynasty, but the soldiers have to celebrate the New Year on their way back
