[Chapter 341] A very bad news came

(0341)

Lin Danhan's departure made the morale of the white-clothed army around Zhenyuan Pass reach its peak again. Although Xu Xingxia's jurisdiction and Lin Danhan's jurisdiction have no borders, and the two sides have not had any contact before. However, Lin Danhan's name is much stronger than Helejin and others. The strength of the Helejin tribe can only be considered a third-rate among the Tatars. The Tumot tribe of Lin Danhan is a first-class existence among the top people, and its strength is comparable to the three major tribes of the Tatars, and may even be even better.

In Ningxia Town, there are many people who know Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan's 50,000 iron-spun cavalry often becomes one of the topics people discuss after dinner. No one has ever imagined what would happen if Lin Danhan went south to Ningxia Town. If the entire army was really dispatched, it would not be difficult to flatten the entire Ningxia Town. Now, even the powerful Lin Danhan was forced to retreat by Xu Xingxia, how could they not be excited about it?

Especially those slaves who had just been released by the Tartars witnessed Xu Xingxia's strength with their own eyes. The already cold, stiff, and about to die, slowly became active again. In this dispute, they saw hope and the future. At the beginning, they were still like walking corpses, numb and passive. Now, they have finally gradually awakened and began to do things consciously and spontaneously.

When they were in the Helejin tribe, they had more knowledge about Lin Danhan's affairs. There is no doubt that Lin Danhan is definitely a strong figure. Compared with Lin Danhan, the Helejin tribe is not of the same level at all. However, even such a strong figure can only retreat in shame in front of Xu Xingxia. With people like Xu Xingxia protecting them, what else are they worried about? Just do it!

If these slaves who were released back had the greatest wish, there was no doubt that they would definitely take revenge. The reason why they could live to this day and support them was the belief in revenge. Most of their relatives died at the hands of the Tartars. If they wanted to avenge their relatives, they would have to kill those hateful Tartars. The slaves who could persevere and live to this day would not give up their revenge easily. If they had not had the strong idea of ​​revenge, they would have committed suicide long ago and would have never been able to live to this day.

It is basically impossible to rely on their personal power to avenge revenge. Their personal power is too small. If it were to rely on other Ming army officers, it would be even more impossible. They know the best of what the senior officers in Ningxia Town are. If it weren't for their incompetence, how could they be kidnapped by the Tartar cavalry and become slaves of the Tartars? This is their lifelong shame! The shame they will never forget!

In fact, in the minds of most slaves, except for the Tartars being their enemies, the senior officials of Ningxia Town, even the court and emperor, were their enemies. It is precisely because of their incompetence, stupidity, greed, darkness and corruption that the tragedy of Ningxia Town was led to. After experiencing the separation of life and death of relatives, they were already extremely disappointed with the existing court. If someone raised his arms and incited them to fight against the court, they would definitely participate. All their relatives died and everything was lost. What else would they have to worry about?

Of course, the current situation seems to have not reached that level. With Xu Xingxia's comfort, their anger towards the court has not yet erupted. Their target of anger is the Tartars for the time being. All their efforts are to eliminate the Tartars and to avenge their relatives. However, only Xu Xingxia can appease them. Because they were saved by Xu Xingxia, and Xu Xingxia was their life-savior. If another official had arrived, they would have been spitted on their faces long ago.

For the slaves, Xu Xingxia was their only hope. In Xu Xingxia, they saw a completely different temperament from other Ming army officers. There is no doubt that Xu Xingxia is the most willing to see. They firmly believe that only Xu Xingxia can lead them to achieve the goal of revenge step by step. No one else could do it. Therefore, there is no need for any exciting speeches or any generous treatment. They are willing to follow Xu Xingxia loyally to do things.

However, as the supreme commander of the White Army, Xu Xingxia was not in a good mood. There was no other reason, because Wang Qinian came, which brought him a very unhappy news. In fact, before Lin Danhan had withdrawn, Wang Qinian came. He just wanted to avoid affecting Xu Xingxia's mood. He said nothing. As soon as Lin Danhan left, Wang Qinian whispered: "Xu Qianhu, there is a wind coming from above, saying that he wants to mobilize you."

Xu Xingxia's expression did not react at the beginning, and she felt as if she had heard nothing. After a while, it slowly became cold, as if it was slowly condensed. Not only was the surface frozen, but it was frozen inside. After a while, he slowly said: "Are you sure?"

Wang Qinian said in a somewhat obscure tone: "Yes, sure."

Xu Xingxia slowly raised her head and looked at the sky in the distance. As Lin Danhan retreated, the smoke near Zhenyuan Pass was gradually blowing away by the north wind, and his vision gradually became clear. The originally rich and pungent smell of gunpowder gradually dissipated. For some reason, Xu Xingxia felt very good and comfortable when smelling the choking smell of gunpowder. Now, the smell of gunpowder is gradually dissipating, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

The sky was gradually clearing up. The shy sun also emerged from the clouds, quietly scattering its own brilliance in every corner of the battlefield. Xu Xingxia allowed Lin Danhan to take away the wounded and corpses of the *** people. However, on the battlefield, there were still many injured war horses or corpses of war horses. Occasionally, there were scattered war horses coming out of nowhere, aimlessly looking for their master.

The soldiers of the white-clothed army were cleaning the battlefield. They collected all the weapons and equipment left by the cavalry and the intact war horses one by one. The weapons and equipment can be refilled as scrap iron. As for the war horses, they naturally directly replenished them into various troops. As for the injured war horses and the corpses of the war horses, they were naturally dragged back by the auxiliary soldiers and used as ingredients. Anyway, this was delivered to the enemy for free, so don't be idle!

As excited as the White Army, there were all the civilians responsible for building Zhenyuan Pass. They also witnessed the victory of the battle and the strength of the White Army. After the victory of the battle, Xu Xingxia ordered that half of the edible horses be distributed to the civilians to reward their hard work. If Xu Xingxia made such a decision in the past, he would definitely be very happy. But today, his mood was never happy.

The reason why he was in such a bad mood was entirely caused by the news of Wang Qinian. The news brought by Wang Qinian was on the surface to mobilize work, but in fact, Xu Xingxia could clearly see that a butcher knife was quietly put on his neck. If he was not careful, he would be killed by the butcher knife and would never have a chance to turn over again. The person holding the butcher knife was the senior officials who were completely incompatible with him.

Wang Qinian himself understood the meaning and chose to tell Xu Xingxia the news after winning the battle. He knew that no matter who it was, he needed to consider it carefully when he learned such news. There was no doubt that this was a very dangerous signal. Behind this dangerous signal, there were countless killers. If he didn't think clearly and acted rashly, no matter what choice he made, he might bring disaster to himself.

For Wang Qinian, being able to inform Xu Xingxia of the relevant information at the first time obviously violated the rules of the Jinyiwei. Who can learn this insider information at the first time except for the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang? His tendency is already quite obvious. Basically, he, the Jinyiwei households, automatically and consciously attacked Xu Xingxia, the Jinyiwei lieutenant. However, as long as he is willing, who can control it?

In fact, Xu Xingxia also knew that there would be such a day. However, he did not expect that this day would come so early. After all, the places under his rule, including Weizhenbao, Zhenshuobao, Heishanying, and Zhenyuanguan, have indeed attracted much attention these days. Not to mention jealousy for the time being, the most important thing is to cause uneasiness. The return of 60,000 to 70,000 Han slaves made him at the forefront. If the bosses above did not react at all, it would be abnormal.

It should be noted that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have always tried their best to curb the private forces of military generals. To prevent military generals from gaining self-respecting their own troops, an important condition is that money, grain and soldiers must be separated. Simply put, those who manage money, grain cannot manage the army, and those who manage the army cannot manage money, grain. For example, in Ningxia Town, general Li Guozhen only has the power to manage the army, but no power to manage money, grain. All money and grain are in the hands of Ningxia Governor Li Maohui.

The most important means for civil officials in the Ming Dynasty to control military generals was the distribution of money and grain. The Ming Dynasty's military officials controlled all the money and grain distribution of Ming troops in various places, and no one else could interfere. In front of these military officials, military generals were worthless. Even the first-rank general officers had to be respectful in front of the fifth-rank military officers, otherwise, you would not get money and grain. If you could not get money and grain, your subordinates would rebel, and you would have to take responsibility. If you might be beheaded, your head would be confiscated and your family would be exterminated.
